My Arknights Life Diary

This short stretch of road seemed particularly long with the help of the slow-moving broken car. When Tu Fang woke up, he was still more than half the distance to Nihu Castle.

"Saga, speaking of which, I think you mentioned before that you knew a story about Nihu Castle. Can you tell me about it?"

Tu Fang was bored and suddenly remembered that before he was blown up by the bomb buried by the bandits yesterday, Saga seemed to have said that he knew some legends about Nihu Castle.

"Eh? You mean that? Let me think, that story was told to me by the host when I was a child, so I may not remember the specific details."

"It doesn't matter. In the end, it's just a way to kill time."

Tu Fang said this indifferently.

"Well, the origin of the story is that a long time ago, a beautiful woman fell from the sky. She found an old couple and asked them to find a husband for her.

Then the old couple used the woman's treasure to spread the news throughout the East Country. Then, in a very short time, a large group of people came to the woman.

However, the woman looked down upon most of these people, and for those who were barely pleasing to her eye, she would ask that person to take a treasure.

If the man could really bring the treasure, the girl would marry him, but unfortunately, no one could get the treasure the girl described.

So much so that some people even lost their lives on the way to treasure hunting, and then three hunter brothers in the mountains heard about it.

The eldest and second brothers among them were quite interested in this, but the youngest brother thought it was just a trick, but he could not convince his two brothers.

So he had no choice but to follow them to the village where the woman was.

After the girl met the three brothers, she asked the eldest brother for the land in the far north and the ice that would not melt, while she asked the second brother for the land in the far south and the fire that would never go out.

The girl would marry whoever of them could bring back the treasure first, but strangely, the third brother did not have any problems.

Later, the eldest brother and the second brother made an agreement that they would come back to see each other after three years, regardless of whether they had obtained the treasure or not. The third brother wanted to dissuade them from believing this trick.

But unfortunately, it was of no use. In the end, the youngest brother also left with resentment and confusion.

Three years later, the eldest brother and the second brother came back. They both found treasures and became big figures in the process of treasure hunting, but the two brothers joined different camps and served different masters.

The two brothers held their precious swords and faced each other. The village became a battlefield. The woman disappeared and the two brothers eventually died at the place where they had made the agreement.

After the death of these two main generals, both sides continued to invest troops here to dig fortresses. Later, the Beihu Fortress and the Nanhu Fortress were gradually merged together, which is now the Nihu Castle.

Some people say that the woman was actually a fairy from heaven. She came to the earth with a beautiful vision of the human world. However, after witnessing the evil deeds of the people on earth, she became disheartened and chose to return to heaven.

Some people also said that all this was just a trick played by the fairy to have fun and fool people. Later, the third brother heard about it and he made preparations to hunt the fairy.

But in the end he couldn't go to heaven, while the fairies in heaven could laugh at his stupid behavior. Later, I heard that my brother found a way to hunt the fairies.

But he still couldn't go to heaven, so his brother turned into a ghost and wandered around every city in the East, looking for the immortals who might come down to earth again and hunt them down. "

Tu Fang:........

What kind of magically modified version of the story of Princess Kaguya is this!

But then again...I know the Far North and the Far South very well, there are evil spirits everywhere...

And he also asked for something that would not melt ice or extinguish fire... Wait... Speaking of which... Could it be that this so-called celestial being is actually some green-haired old lynx?

If we understand this unmelting ice and unextinguishing fire as some kind of pre-civilization technology, then it is easy to understand! For some reason, the old cat needs to recycle some technology...

Tu Fang felt that he had grasped the truth of the matter.

"Donor Tu Fang? Donor Tu Fang? Are you listening?"

Just as Tu Fang was daydreaming, Saga's shouting pulled him back to reality from his fantasy.

"Hey? What's wrong with Saga?"

"Oh, I thought you fell asleep after listening to me."

"I was just thinking about some things, such as the possibility that the so-called fairy was an old cat. Anyway, I was not asleep, so go on."

"Oh, let me continue..."

Although嵯娥 was curious about the old cat that Tu Fang mentioned, she did not ask too many questions and continued to tell some other stories.

While listening to Saga's story, Tu Fang couldn't help but let his mind run wild with thoughts. For example, the so-called ice that wouldn't melt reminded him of the non-melting ice that the Snow Monster Team had given him.

The piece of unmelting ice that I had sharpened.

Well... next time if I have the chance, ask Shuangxing for another one as a souvenir!

Tu Fang thought so.

Ok

And then...

Tu Fang then asked Nancy what possible pre-civilization technologies might correspond to the so-called unmelting ice and unextinguishable fire.

Nancy's response was to send Tu Fang a list, a long and boring list, which contained relevant knowledge and some miscellaneous props.

Both can develop the characteristics of not melting ice and not extinguishing fire.

This made Tu Fang feel a little numb...

..............

Since the vehicle was on the verge of being scrapped, the speed was not very fast, and it was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at the outskirts of Nihu Castle.

When they were less than ten kilometers away from Nihu City, Tu Fang found a place and dumped the almost scrapped car.

After all, if you drive this car into the city, the rate of people turning back to look at you would be at least 100%, if not 99%. Tu Fang doesn't want to attract so much attention.

There is nothing much to say about the process of entering the city. Tu Fang and his companions all entered the Dongguo through formal channels and had legal identities, so they naturally entered smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that even in the most marginal areas of Ninohe Castle, there are still many people, of which foreign tourists account for about 25%.

Most of these people, like Tu Fang and his friends, had heard about the summer festival and planned to come and see this so-called summer festival.

Tu Fang and his friends separated from Nancy at the periphery. The reason was simpler. Nancy was going out to buy a car (actually she was going to find a hidden place and take out a new one from the space).

Tu Fang needed to take everyone to find a place to rest, after all, it was already the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the night.

Although they said they were looking for a place to rest, Tu Fang and his friends were actually looking for it while having fun. Although the summer festival in Nihu Castle has not started yet, the festive atmosphere has already appeared in this ancient city.

On the bustling streets, all kinds of colorful lanterns are hung high, waiting for the bustling downtown area below, and novel toys and snacks are everywhere.

Tu Fang was fine, but Guigui and Xiaoke were deeply attracted by it all.

They were very interested in everything here, so Tu Fang and his friends had no choice but to accompany them as they played and searched. Of course, Tu Fang was not idle during this period either.

He also took this opportunity to observe the layout of Ninohe Castle and inquire about tomorrow's summer festival.

From the perspective of layout, the entire Nihu Town is a perfect combination of classical architecture and modern high-rise buildings. The building you see in front of you may be a towering high-rise building.

But the next second you may find that under the tall building, there is a commercial street composed of classical buildings.

If we have to find any pattern from this, it is that the buildings in the north are more ancient, while the buildings in the south are more modern.

By the way, because Nihu Castle was a military fortress in ancient times, Tu Fang and his companions also saw the Eastern Kingdom’s army stationed in the city.

Therefore, Tu Fang specially sent a message to Nancy, asking her to try to move the vehicle as normally as possible after she had dealt with it.

For example, walk on the sidewalk at a constant speed instead of climbing walls on high-rise buildings to avoid getting into trouble.

..............

"Nancy, why did you come back just now?"

Tu Fang, who was sitting on the wooden floor watching TV, saw the person coming in and asked with some confusion.

"I walked for an hour and was approached four times. One of them was shady and one of them was kneeling on the ground and pestering me, saying things like rich women and steel wool.

The other two were okay. They didn’t cling too much to me after being rejected, and I quickly dumped them.”

Nancy explained as she placed some of the things she had just bought on the wooden table in this classic hotel.

"Well, I'm sorry for that."

Tu Fang was somewhat helpless about the answer given by Nancy.

He originally thought that he would have long contact with Nancy in the future and try to make her prettier so that she would be more pleasing to the eye, but he never expected that it would bring her such trouble.

However, Tu Fang was also somewhat curious. When Nancy was in Longmen before, her beauty did not cause him any trouble. But now that she came to Dongguo, she was in trouble instead.

The reason is actually very simple.

When she was in Longmen before, Nancy basically stayed at home and seldom went out, so naturally she had no worries. But now that she is out playing and has met more people, she naturally has troubles. .........
