Looking at Lily's dizzy appearance, Hao Ren knew that this girl didn't know anything about what had just happened, so he explained a few words simply: "Just now, Raven 12345 came in through the gap opened by your 'smuggling', and attached it to you and said a few words to me." ”Lily was not awkward at all when she heard that she was possessed, and she was happy: "Huh?
What did the goddess say?
”"We may still have 'helpers' in the future," Hao Ren said, "As I go back, the closure of the warped time and space will be reduced, and if we happen to meet other acquaintances in the historical trajectory in the process, we can let them 'smuggle' in like you."
However, since you are all conscious beings, you cannot bring in the equipment and strength of the future ontology, so you can only maintain the combat effectiveness in the historical stage. ”Lily easily understood what Hao Ren meant, she looked down at her hands, and suddenly realized: "I said, how do you feel that this body is so weak, and I failed to summon my claws just now......
As she spoke, the husky who was usually very grinning also showed a look of emotion: "I really miss it......
Days on the snowy fields of Siberia.After coming out of the village, he wandered all the way, his mind was full of excited ideas, he never worried about anything, and he didn't know how to think about the problem of making a living in the human world......
Landlord, do you know, I actually walked all the way to the Arctic Circle, and then I was blocked by a glacier and found that there was no way in front of me before turning around and walking back......"
Hao Ren pouted: "I kind of know, you have been like this since more than half a century ago." ”Lily smiled slightly, reached out and touched her clothes, and finally took out the tattered thread-bound version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Sure enough, here......
I didn't return this book in the end," she shook her head, "I carried it to many places, and I read it I don't know how many times when I wandered in the snowfields, and then I looked for food in human cities, fought with people, did odd jobs, and ganged up, and then I wanted to study, and I wanted to be a cultural person, so I went to Peking to study, and I also took this book with me at that time......
After graduating from Peking University for the first time, I finally remembered to go back to the small village I used to have, but there was no village there. ”Lily said, sighing, "I guess I'll never go back, the old gentleman must have scolded me." ”Hao Ren looked at her in surprise, and only after a long time hesitated to ask, "Should you be......
Crying, right?
”"How come," Lily raised her head and bared her teeth at Hao Ren, "I've been used to this kind of thing half a century ago, but I'm just a little emotional, I didn't expect to be able to relive the events of the year in this form."
Okay, let's not waste time here, landlord, hurry up and go out to see what age it is outside, and wait to complete the task. ”Hao Ren glanced at Lily a few more times, and sighed in his heart that this husky girl who usually looked heartless also had such an emotional moment, and then nodded, and came to the wooden door that faintly shone with a dim yellow light.Outside the wooden door was another fragment of time and space, and on this side of the wooden door was a hunter's hut that was in a state of black, white and gray, Hao Ren stood at the door and took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open without hesitation.In an instant, the extremely stagnant time and space seemed to suddenly come into motion, and the sunset with residual warmth sprinkled on the face, in the sunset, a few frightened swallows could be seen, and all kinds of sounds came into the ears from all directions, mixed with the creaking of wheels running over the stone road and the sporadic voices from afar.Hao Ren took another step outward, and thus completely stepped into a new time and space.He found himself in front of an old street, a wet gravel road that stretched from south to north, lined with filthy and foul-smelling sewage, and on either side of the street he could see low, cramped houses lined up one after another, the brick walls mostly looking very old, the lower half of the wall covered with moss, and the upper half of the wall mottled and peeling.The tallest building in the eye was only two or three stories long, and the sunset, which was already sinking to the horizon, hung on the rooftops across the street, and the light was cut apart by the jagged roofs.Perhaps it was because of the approaching dusk that there were hardly any pedestrians in the streets, and occasionally a few figures were seen in the distance, all dressed in old coarse cloth, and very few neatly dressed people passed by.The pedestrians who flashed in the distance hurried along with numb expressions on their faces, and no one seemed to notice the two strange-dressed men who suddenly appeared on this side of the street.Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage laden with miscellaneous goods rattled past a distant junction, and the driver shouted at the cattle in a loud rustle with a strong local accent, which only added to the gloomy and chaotic feeling of the street.Hao Ren glanced back and saw that the "wooden door" he had pushed open earlier had not disappeared, it was abruptly embedded in a moss-covered wall, and next to it was a slatted window covered with oil and reinforced with an iron frame, above which hung a dim and flickering oil lamp, which was gently swaying in the evening breeze, making a slight creaking sound.Hao Ren pushed open the door of the hunter's hut again, and found that the black and white still space behind the door was still there, and he couldn't find the window corresponding to the slatted window next to the door anyway: there was no doubt that this was an abnormal spatial phenomenon.The cabin seems to be "inlaid in" at the edge of this plane, becoming something like a stronghold, and its only connection to this plane is the wooden door that looks so fragile.Lily put away her ears and tail long before she came out with Hao Ren, and she looked curiously at the rather old street in front of her, and after a moment made a guess: "It looks like Europe......
Europe six or seven hundred years ago. ”"In the late Middle Ages, it jumped to this point in time all of a sudden," Hao Ren nodded, "but that's right, Vivien's cycle of sleeping and waking up every time is two or three centuries, and this is the second time I've backtracked, and it's normal for me to come here." ”"In medieval Europe, the most impressive thing is the burning of witches," Lily wrinkled her nose, as if she could smell the disgusting smell of burnt paste in the air as she said this, "we have really come to a terrible time." ”Hao Ren shrugged: "The dark age created by mankind, at this time the age of mythology has ended, but mankind has tossed itself a stage that is worse than the age of mythology......
We'd better find a set of local clothes first, this outfit is too eye-catching to walk outside, this is not an era where performance art can be accepted. ”Lily wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I agree, I'm still wearing a Siberian survival suit, it's as hot as a dog......"
Hao Ren glanced at Lily silently, and said in his heart that this girl was really sincere......
The two of them quickly went around into an uninhabited alley and got a set of local clothes from the clothesline of a house, although it was not very comfortable to wear, but at least solved the problem of different painting styles.In fact, Hao Ren is not too worried about attracting the attention of ordinary people in the local area, the threat of ordinary people to him and Lily is about equal to zero, what he is worried about is that the two strange-dressed people will attract the attention of the witchers: in this special period when the mythological era has just ended, supernatural forces still have a profound impact on human society, and the witchers are also almost semi-openly concerned or monitoring the world, although they do not care about humans, they will buy or threaten ordinary people as their own eyeliner, especially in Europe where the end of the mythological era is the latest, This kind of surveillance is especially severe, and in the dark and dilapidated streets, there may be as many pairs of eyes as there are staring at everyone, and any disturbance in the horns will eventually be delivered to the eyes of the witcher.This kind of surveillance and high pressure has also given rise to many fake and shoddy demon eradication organizations and individuals in disguise, and then spawned a large number of whistleblowers who serve these impostors, and the "witch hunt" farce in full swing in dark Europe has to be said to be one of the results of these guys' contribution.Of course, the most important reason for the farce of "witch hunting" is the church of this period - they were once a symbol of human resistance to supernatural forces in the mythological age, the only armed force that has become a climate, and an important medium for witchers to contact with humans, but after the end of the mythological age, the real alien threat (or in the parlance of the church, "heretical threat") disappeared, and the witchers also broke off the only positive connection with humans due to the cooling of their hunting instincts, and church activities quickly took on a trend of getting out of control.
This became the biggest source of the complete spiral of the witch hunt.But for Hao Ren, none of this matter - he is just a passer-by who goes back in time, and everything that happens in this time and space is just a stage play staged by Vivien's memories and the mirror earth, and he walks through the stage, all he is looking for is the "heroine"."
Landlord, I think it's troublesome to put on this dress and fight with people," Lily complained, writhing as she wriggled at her coarse cloth dress, "couldn't a woman in medieval Europe wear something that was easy to move around......
It's like a sack. ”She had a dusty burlap skirt with a floor-length hem and two ruffled sleeves, which, though simple enough, were too cumbersome for the light clothes she was accustomed to wearing."
Okay, don't pick some to wear, the economic conditions of this place we stay in are obviously not very good, a family can have a few clothes for you to choose," Hao Ren said while sorting out his short robe, the clothes he got were a black short shirt and a pair of coarse cloth pants, and a short robe with a hood on the outside of the short jacket, he didn't know the correct matching method and wearing standard of clothes in this era, so he could only fool around and put on the clothes according to the impression left by a few pedestrians at the intersection from a distance, "It's almost dark."
When it gets completely dark, we'll start to investigate, trying to find out where this place is first, and what year it is. ”As he spoke, he gently pressed his waist, and the hard, cold touch of metal followed.He knew that there hung a holy silver dagger - the standard armament of the Witcher, model 1315, kindly sponsored by Hasselblad.
