A foreigner's journey

In June, the weather is getting hotter.

Compared to Inaba, which is already experiencing extensive desertification, Tango, which is quite close to Inaba, looks much "greener". Lush and lush trees stand on the side of the road. After passing through the jungle, you can see that there are continuous cultivated fields on both sides of the smooth road. Many farmers are working hard in the fields wearing bamboo hats and hoes.

On a roadside in Tango next to the sea, there is a stall selling refreshments. The top of the small thatched roof is neatly covered with straw and wooden boards. Next to the large open door is a hanging sign with the words "Gorest House Chaya Gobanten" The letter frame will make a sound every time the sea breeze blows.

Heather was sitting on the bench in front of the store. She was wearing a dark blue samurai uniform under her patched cloak. Her tattered long sword was resting on the bench beside her. Her empty right sleeve was blowing in the sea breeze. swing. Although there was a little stubble on that handsome and extraordinary face, it looked even more carefree and handsome.

"Here are your three-color dumplings. The sauce is slightly sweet according to your instructions."

The red-faced waitress brought the dinner plate to Heather. She just glanced at Heather secretly and was so embarrassed that sweat broke out on her forehead. Although her hands holding the plate were still steady, her tone began to tremble.

"Thank you, please give my companion two more tri-color dumplings." Heather smiled and nodded to the waitress, causing the latter to feel dizzy.

She hurriedly fled back to the kitchen, where several young waitresses with equally blushing faces were gathered. They whispered a few words and then burst out into uncontrollable whispers and shy smiles.

Withdrawing her gaze, Heather breathed out gently in the direction of the sea, twisted a three-color dumpling, bit off a white dumpling and chewed it.

Even though I have eaten it several times in the past three years, I still am not used to the taste.

When I was a kid watching cartoons, I always thought this kind of three-color meatballs tasted delicious. When I grew up, I couldn’t leave my parents to travel far away due to physical reasons, so I never tasted this kind of food. I tried it when I went to the World of Swordsman, and it was actually very sweet. Even the slightly sweet sauce is so sweet. Japanese people have really weird tastes.

Thinking of this, Heather bit into another green dumpling, um, matcha flavored. The signboard says [Gokyushucha Chaya Gobanten], is it still a chain store? No matter how much you eat, it's not as delicious as barbecue, but the mainstream of Japan in this generation refuses to eat meat, so for a while I couldn't find a restaurant where I could buy meat dishes. For the past three years, I have only been able to hunt by myself and eat barbecue in the wild, which is really sad.

Biting off the last pink ball, Heather looked sideways while chewing.

Nanami is still wearing the patched light green kimono. At this time, she is sitting elegantly at the end of the bench a little away from Heather. There are already four or five empty boxes with sauce left on the small table next to her. plate. She held a three-color meatball in each hand and seemed to be chewing it slowly, but she was actually eating it very quickly.

Squirrel? Heather couldn't help but feel a little confused. How long had it been since she had eaten good food?

Without looking back, Rong Qishi had already noticed Heather's gaze. She ate two skewers of meatballs very quickly, then dipped a wet towel into the corner of her mouth where there was no sauce left. She turned to look at Heather, her voice still cold: " Master Heather, you really like peeping."

"I'm just curious about how you eat."

"Although I don't hate eating and sleeping on an uninhabited island, but occasionally I have the opportunity to improve my taste, so there's no reason not to eat more...Thank you."

She nodded slightly and thanked the waitress who brought two plates of meatball skewers. Heather watched with slight disgust as Rong Qishi pretended to be a weak, fragile, well-educated and elegant woman.

Tsk, this woman talks nice, it’s obviously because I pay for her! Moreover, I have been tortured by illness for so many years, and now that I am relieved of the illness, am I starting to eat all kinds of things? How can there be the domineering power of the [Life Tool] that stands at the apex of all things!

According to the words of the wandering outsiders from Bastet, a life tool is a "blessed thing".

Be favored by the will of the world and be given incredible things that far exceed the current world level, or be hated by the will of the world and be cursed in every possible way.

Only a very few worlds possess this ultimate treasure that is unreasonable and extremely powerful.

If you want to surrender your life tool, you must pay a corresponding price.

Even a powerful outsider like Bastet could not obtain a life tool, and a terrible traveler like the little prince paid a very heavy price to surrender the life tool. This shows how unruly and unruly the life tool is and how difficult it is to conquer.

But why could he obtain the life tool [Xu Dao·Qi Shi] so easily?

After thinking for a long time, Heather concluded that it was - [Phaseality]. He believes that the encounter between a life tool and a foreigner may be predestined and have a unique affinity. The little prince was in charge of the concept of "childlike fun", and he met the ultimate treasure [Aladdin's Lamp] in the fairy tales of One Thousand and One Nights.

I mastered the concept of "weapon", so I met [鑢七真], which is the pinnacle of weapons and martial arts.

Meeting is one factor, how to take it away is the most important thing. According to the rules, except for the most basic underwear without any magic or extraordinary power, outsiders are not allowed to take anything away from the world, not even a coin.

Either spend a huge amount of world fire (Heather estimated that it would cost at least two hundred to start), or take advantage of the rules.

With the help of a stronger outsider, the little prince distorted the existence of Aladdin's lamp and created a "dark fairy tale" destiny connection, although this caused Aladdin's lamp to become an incomplete body. Tools, but at least I got it.

As for himself, he used the [Mythical Weapon Catalog] to forcibly regard the [person] Rin Qishi as a [Mythical Weapon] and recast it as a weapon that was uniquely his own.

Even if he took the shortcut of Nian ability, he still consumed a full forty points of World Flame and all his Nian Qi. Should it be said that it is worthy of being a life tool?

As a life tool, Qi Qishi's ability is not as simple and direct as the 'Three Wishes' of [Aladdin's Magic Lamp], but Heather feels that this is the most suitable life tool for her.

[Fate Tool·Qishi] can share Heather's mind energy and mythical weapons, but cannot manifest the same mythical weapon with Heather at the same time.

When she [personally] sees something that can be called 'ability', 'technique', 'talent', 'martial arts' or the like, she can try to analyze and master it through 'Jianjigu', and have the possibility of [surpassing the original owner] .

The skills learned can be shared with Heather, but sometimes there will be slight differences.

To put it simply, from now on, when encountering a strong enemy, the enemy will face two Heathers who have no gaps and cooperate with each other absolutely tacitly. One of them is not even afraid of injury and death.

This will be far more terrifying than [1+1=2].

Not to mention Rong Qishi’s [Eye of Jianjigu] that forcibly robs her opponent’s talent. These eyes are already part of her genius. Rin Qishi acquires 'skills' and Heather acquires 'weapons'. The longer they travel and the more worlds they visit, the stronger they become.

"Your tea, please wait until the tea cools down a little before you drink it."

"Thanks."

Heather picked up the steaming tea cup and blew it along the rim, then looked at Qi Shi: "How is the progress?"

Qishi put down the empty bamboo stick in his hand, closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again: "The repair progress of [Light Egg] has reached 60%, and it will be ready in two days."

[Destiny Tool·Qizhi], the third ability——

She can repair weapons in the [Mythic Weapon Catalog].

This is another part of her genius that can fight [100 million diseases] and completely reject [disease] and [poison]. No matter how damaged, cursed or even sealed the mythical weapons stored in the [Mythical Weapons Catalog] are, she It can be restored to its complete form, it just depends on the speed of the progress.

The [Light Egg] was so contaminated that it was impossible for Heather to remove it by herself, but Rong Qishi only had to wait quietly for half a month to complete the repair without any side effects.

This will also be Heather's greatest confidence against other foreigners.

At least, he is no longer afraid of [war of attrition].
