So I became a witch
Page 422
"Huh? That kind of guy who looks like a noble lady, why did he come to a place like us?"
"If you care so much, you can ask yourself if you don't."
"No, that, forget it."
The guests on the side seemed to be whispering behind their backs. I ignored those voices, and casually took out a fist-sized black crystal from my pocket, and put it on the black bar: "If it's money, this should be enough, right? If it's not enough, I can add more."
The moment he saw me taking out the object, the boss's face changed rapidly. He put the things I put on the bar under the counter in a swift manner, and after confirming that no one around noticed, he lowered his He raised his voice and asked eagerly, "Where did you get it from?!"
"Well, just picked it up on the road, right?"
The spar I took out is naturally the thing that was stripped from the bodies of those monsters after killing them.According to Li Ye, these crystals seem to be the main raw materials of the dragon knight, and they have a very high value, which can almost be said to be priceless.So I took out this small piece this time to test the other party's reaction. It turns out that this thing is much more valuable than I thought.
"...Hey, kid, I'm not joking with you, do you know this thing..."
"Ah, of course, this is just a metaphor. The actual meaning is that it is not something difficult for me to obtain?"
"..." The boss was silent. He stared at me carefully, as if he wanted to see something from my eyes.I also frankly responded to his gaze, maintaining an expression of nothing.
"Ah, so you are here, but I thought..." This silence was not broken until another voice came.It was Liye, she seemed to have recovered from a faint, and Sith silently followed her and came to this place together.
She took a few steps forward, and only then did she discover the delicate atmosphere between me and the boss.Li Ye stopped involuntarily, looked at me and then at the boss, and said hesitantly, "Well, this is..."
"Are they your acquaintances?" The boss asked suddenly.
"Ah, no, that, it should be, right?" Li Ye looked at me rather embarrassed, "If it wasn't for them, I would probably, um, be quite dangerous."
Li Ye said it quite tactfully, it's a good thing she still remembered the agreement not to reveal my information.However, the boss seemed to hear something from it, and he nodded thoughtfully: "...I understand. Since Li Ye knows someone, I will help you prepare the things you want. However, the things directly It's too dangerous to keep it by your side, so let me keep it for now. When you want to leave, I will return it to you. You too, this time you went out for a whole day, remember to go back and clean it .”
"Ah, okay." Li Ye didn't ask much, but led us directly up the stairs next to the bar.After arriving at the attic on the second floor, the style in front of me suddenly changed from the original western cowboy style to a high-tech look.In the corridor filled with pure white, a small robot like the Android logo moves casually in the aisle, while automatically picking up garbage such as cigarette butts, "This is my room."
After leading us to one of the white doors, Li Ye stretched out a hand and pressed it under the indicator light. After scanning the palm prints on the screen, the sliding door opened automatically: "Please come in. Although it is not What a good place, but there should be no problem with a few more people."
"Oh." I followed Li Ye into the room. The interior of the room, including the furniture, was almost as pure and white as the exterior, and the design completely revealed a simple and unadorned thought.
As if noticing my expression, Li Ye said with a smile: "After all, it's just a place where scavengers live, so it's impossible to make it so luxurious. It's not bad just to be able to keep the accommodation, like ordinary new scavengers. , I don’t even have a place to live, so I have to live in a warehouse or shop. Of course, it’s nothing compared to your place, right?”
I shrugged, and then I remembered that my identity at this time was still a "driver with amnesia": "No, I don't mind these things, it's better to say that I am very grateful for allowing us to stay, after all, before I have been sleeping in the dragon knight all the time, it is not a place for people to stay at all."
"Hey, sleep directly in the dragon knight...it's so good...if I have a chance, I want to sleep in it too." Liye's face showed a longing look.
(It's too late to post the two chapters together. At present, I still owe ten more, try to finish it before this month)
Chapter 53 Bathing
Although it's not the first time I've noticed it, this guy is indeed a serious mecha controler.Whether it is repair ability or familiarity with dragon knights, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can understand, at least not the knowledge that a scavenger needs.
"Ah, by the way, if you just came back from the high-risk area, you can't do it if you don't clean up the radiation source on your body!" Liye seemed to have remembered something, and urged us to push us towards the bathroom.
"Hey, hey? Ah, no, we don't need it..."
"That's impossible! Luo Tianchen and you guys are coming to the Savia Desert for the first time. There are many substances harmful to the human body, so you can't stay in it for too long, even if there are dragon knights!"
"No, that, at least the two of you can wash it, I don't need it...or I will wash it by myself after a while!"
"Water resources are very precious in the desert."
"Hey, as long as you have money, it's fine, and I'm not very used to bathing with others..."
"Even so, you can't waste it! Let's go, let's go in!"
In the end, Sith and I were still forcibly pulled into the bathing pool.
"Phew—it's so comfortable. It's been a long time since we took a bath together like this." Li Ye leaned against the edge of the bath and let out a happy voice.
I silently sank half of my face into the pool, trying to avoid looking in her direction.Although it is a bit of hindsight to say this now, I am still not used to bathing with other women anyway, or maybe I am disgusted by myself who is a little excited because of it.However, the size of this bath is a bit beyond my expectation. In my impression, most of the general baths can only accommodate a single person like in a hotel, and at most can accommodate two people together like in my home. Take a bath, but the bathtub in Liye's house is big enough to accommodate at least four or five people taking a bath in it. The bathroom space alone is almost the same size as the living room.
As if seeing my confusion, Lie explained: "Because my father likes to take a bath, he specially rented a room with a large bath when he came here. For him, this kind of behavior can be friendly It can greatly promote the relationship between people. Although even I haven't used it for a long time."
"Hey, why?"
"Because my father passed away two years ago, since then, I have only used ordinary showers." Li Ye smiled lightly.
"Ah, sorry."
"No, it's nothing. For scavengers, this kind of thing is just a daily routine. People die every day, and new people join in every day. Even me, if you didn't just save me, I would probably be with other people. Die there like a scavenger, no one will ever know."
"..."
"So I would like to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't use this bath, and recall the memories with my dad."
"Can you tell me something? About your father." I asked.
"Hey?" Liye was stunned for a moment, but she still said slowly while showing a recalled expression, "My father, he used to be a designer of Dragon Knight, and I fell in love with Dragon Knight because of the The influence of my father. Although I probably don’t have such a talent, no matter how hard I try, I can only learn some superficial things.”
"No, I think you are quite good? After all, even such a broken guy can make it move again." I said sincerely.Who knows how long that red dragon knight has been buried in the desert, just being able to make it move is quite remarkable.
"Well, thank you. Before that happened, my sister, my father, and my mother lived together in the outskirts of the central city, living an ordinary but happy daily life." Recalling her past memories, Li There was a happy expression on Ye's face.
"That thing, you mean?"
"...the second cataclysm."
"!!!" I've heard that word before.In that mock exam, I learned part of the truth about the catastrophe from the girl named Shenmengji.In order to fight against the awakening of the four witches, the Aide tribe, one of the former twelve star tribes, once built an immortal fortress in this world, but after finally sealing it, they themselves were on the verge of extinction.In order to let future generations know about this past history, the surviving Aide people built the residences of gods all over the world, expecting someone to discover them in the future, and then fell into an eternal sleep.Countless years later, people represented by China discovered these ancient ruins, and obtained technology and power far beyond their era. People who developed rapidly began to colonize the galaxies, greedily exploring the land that was originally meant for them. An unfamiliar world.Until the first cataclysm came, monsters from the void devoured life forms endlessly, the population of the world shrank sharply, and the living area also shrank significantly.For this reason, people imitated the super ancient weapon dragon knight and developed various mechs. After a long war, they finally regained their own living space from the virtual beasts.
However, the good times didn't last long, and after that, the second cataclysm happened.The unknown virtual beasts headed by the 72 pillars completely invaded people's living space.The last time I was there was exactly the fifth year after the second cataclysm.
"Because of the second catastrophe, countless cities were destroyed, and our home... Mother died in that disaster, and my father had to take me and my sister together in various refuges. Back and forth, until four years ago, people finally won the second war with difficulty..."
"Wait a minute, you just said you won?" I interrupted Liye and asked.
"Ah, yes, although that's all I've heard... But, what's the problem?" Liye was startled, and asked weakly.
"... What year is the second cataclysm now?"
"Well, let's think about it... in a few months, it will be the tenth anniversary." Liye replied.
So, ten years after the second cataclysm... If what I experienced was indeed the same world, that is to say, the current time is exactly five years after my simulated physical examination period.However, here comes the problem again. According to my experience during the simulated physical examination, the real cause of the catastrophe is the fourth witch in the prophecy. I don't dare to underestimate the witch in the prophecy, especially at the last moment of the simulated medical examination. Judging from the terrible coercion I felt, at least, it is definitely not an existence that I can deal with now.However, judging from Liye's words just now, it is almost unimaginable that human beings have won this war. Even with the assistance of the Aide clan and the original dragon knights, with the help of this group of forbidden gods For those who haven't arrived, the possibility of defeating the prophecy-level witch is only 0.If it wasn't for a deviation in history... Then, it could only be that something I don't know happened between the fifth and sixth years of the second cataclysm.
"Sorry to interrupt you, could you please continue?" I said.
"Ah, yes. Exactly four years ago, my younger sister was tested to be qualified to drive a dragon knight, and entered the academy for training dragon knights to study, while my father and I came to the Savia Desert to conduct work as a scavenger."
"Scavenger?"
"Well, to put it simply, it's just picking up trash. Because of the battle with the void beasts, there have been various changes in most of the earth's area, and the Savia Desert is one of them. There are all kinds of people living here. All kinds of mutated creatures, although very powerful and terrifying, but the materials deprived from them are of extremely high value, and there are still many left over from previous army battles, such as dragon knight regrets, technological components These can sell a lot of money. However, this kind of work is also quite dangerous, such as radiation, erosion, and monsters, which are fatal to scavengers Because of this, only some homeless refugees or some criminals will come to this kind of place and become scavengers." Li Ye said with a faint smile.
That's it. In this way, the dragon knight I found is probably a product left over from the last cataclysmic war. No wonder it became so dilapidated, and there is only one weapon system left. A lightsaber, just being able to activate it, is quite remarkable.And the guys downstairs who were dressed similarly to Li Ye were probably also scavengers, just looking a little bad.
"After that, my father passed away due to an accident, and I continued to work as a scavenger. In order to allow my younger sister to continue studying, after counting, two years have passed before I knew it." Liye smiled. Said, but in that smile, no matter how you look at it, there is some sadness.
"In that case, do you want to leave here together?" I asked.
"……Hey?"
"The reason why you became a scavenger is to earn tuition for your sister, right?"
"It's true to say that..."
"In that case, don't you already have it? I remember you said that those materials are very valuable, right? Although I don't know if you can afford your sister's tuition, you can just sell them."
"No, no, no, no! That's your thing, how could I take it away without authorization!" Li Ye hurriedly waved her hands.
(The two chapters are still posted together, and there may be more later. If I knew it, I wouldn’t set up any flags. I’m used to the life of salted fish. I’m still not used to suddenly adding something more. 233)
Chapter 54 What's Inside the Ball
"Even if you say it's mine, I can't find anywhere to sell it. Anyway, it's not something hard to get. Instead of leaving it here like a waste product, why not leave it to those who need it more?" I said .
"It's not something hard to get... No, even so, I will..." It seems that Liye is struggling quite a bit. Could it be that the thing is really that powerful?But even if I take the currency of this world, it’s useless. For me, the world here is equivalent to a sanatorium. Although I’m curious about the existence of the Four Witches, the most important thing right now is to heal my wounds. Then I need to find a way to break the seal imposed on me by the Second Witch.Other goals are secondary.
In my opinion, although I only got in touch with kung fu for a short while, Li Ye gave me a pretty good feeling.In the face of such a huge wealth, but still able to stick to the principles, this alone is rare.What's more, if we "lost memory" want to fully integrate into this world, we must rely on her help.
"You like Dragon Knight very much, right?" I continued to bewitch her while she was confused.
"I like it! I like it so much! Although it is true..."
"In that case, have you ever thought about becoming a designer like your father?"
"!!! That kind of thing, just because I am..."
"Although I have lost my memory, I seem to know a very powerful designer. If I have her help, there will be absolutely no problem. Besides, you don't love it because you simply yearn for your father. right?"
Whether she recognizes her or not is another story.I added silently in my heart.
"I..." Li Ye opened her mouth, her expression visibly shaken.Very well, all that's left to do is push her one more time.
"It's absolutely fine! This is the judgment of a driver! Don't you want to believe me?" I said with a thumbs up.
"No, how is that possible? You are such a powerful driver... But, is this really possible? Father..." Li Ye's body trembled slightly, even though she said she didn't care, it turned out that her biological father's death , the impact on her is still very huge.
"I think, your father must also not want to see you trapped by the past like this. If you can really inherit his will, maybe this kind of development will be the greatest comfort to him?"
"Ah, that...sorry, can I think about it again?" Liye's mind seemed quite confused, because she was too busy with work to force her to have time to think too much, but once she relaxed, she realized that After seeing the possibility, he became overwhelmed instead.Well, it would be too late to force her here any longer, so let her think about it herself.
I have been soaking in the bath for such a long time, if I go any further, the water temperature will be cold.Thinking of this, I started to move towards the edge of the stage.
Speaking of which, it's strange that I haven't seen Shizu since just now. She should have come in with us, but where did she go? Did she go out without knowing it?Thinking this way, I suddenly found a pale body floating on the water in the foggy bathroom.
...Ah, this is it!Isn't this completely dizzy!
I was so busy talking to Liye that I completely forgot her existence. You must know that besides being passive as a witch, she is not even as powerful as me, so she is no different from an ordinary little girl. After so long, the limit has already been exceeded.
I hurriedly picked up Sith and hurried her out of the bathroom. After some emergency treatment, she finally woke up slowly.
"...I'm so dizzy." Sith said the first thing she said when she woke up.
"Isn't that natural? Who told you to stay in it for so long. If you can't bear it, you should say it sooner." Really, if the legendary witch died because of taking a bath, it would definitely make a group of people People doubt life.
"...that kind of thing, I don't want it." Sith said, looking away.
"In short, you should take a good rest here first. I ask Liye to take good care of you. I have some things to go out for a while. In short, you are absolutely not allowed to do bad things, understand?"
"..."
Really, so the rebellious child?I shook my head and left the room in the direction I came from.
Well, the information is also in hand, so what should we do next?
I clenched the necklace on my chest. It was it that led me to this world before. However, after more than ten days have passed since I landed, it has never responded, making me think that this thing is broken. .But I also believe that it is definitely not a coincidence that I will come here.The Aid family, the second cataclysm, the witch, the dragon knight, all kinds of clues have been arranged in my mind according to the classification, and the most important thing now is the line that can connect them together.
Speaking of which, I remember that Xia Luohua gave me a small ball before I came here, and because of the attack of the second witch, I have been fleeing since I came to this world, so I almost completely forgot about this thing. It wasn't until I relaxed now that I remembered such a thing again.
I touched my pocket, and the small ball was still hidden in it intact. After I took it out, I found that it was a metal ball, with only a square screen in the center, which was very similar to that of science fiction. A fingerprint verification machine that often appears in movies.
"..." I thought for a while and found the storage room on the floor. The empty room was full of all kinds of sundries. After closing the door and turning on the light, I took out the small ball again and pressed my thumb. up.
After a long while, the small ball suddenly made a long and thin flute sound, and then a lot of things came out of the ball, including various underwear, casual clothes skirt pants suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter, various daily clothes. Supplies... From the looks of it, this small ball is actually a simple storage space filled with supplies that Charlotte prepared for me to live in a different world.Although I am very grateful for her kindness, it is still a bit disgusting to be so serious.
I tried to put the clothes on the ground back into the opened ball, and it was put in smoothly. It is not a one-off, which is quite praiseworthy.However, while tidying up the clothes, I also found other things that were stuffed in together, one of which was a mobile phone that looked exactly like Noah.How should I put it, I remember that in the witch game in the last world, this thing was also handed over. It claims to be a mobile phone that can be contacted even if it is separated by a world. I don’t know if it will be useful here.
After a moment of silence, I tried to activate the power button.After a burst of familiar boot screen and music, the phone was turned on in good condition, and the battery showed full status. It seemed that it was really carefully prepared by Xia Luohua.I opened the address book again, where only one number was stored.
That is, Xia Luohua's contact information.
After pressing the dial button, I put the phone next to my ear, melodious music rang, but no one connected.But think about it, after all, I don’t know how far away I am from my original world, how could it be so simple...
"Drip." It was actually connected!real or fake!Noah is too powerful!
I held my breath for fear of missing something.There was a long "rustling" sound from the other end of the phone, as if someone had said something, but I couldn't hear a word.
"Hello, Charlotte? Can you hear me?"
"……Wait……"
"Huh? What did you say?"
The phone was hung up suddenly, and no matter how many times I called again, it always showed that no one answered.
Well, although the process was not ideal, being able to get in touch with Xia Luohua was already a good result.In short, store this thing first, and try to use it when you need it.
Then, I set my sights on another item.It was a simple and simple sword with a sword inscription of unknown script engraved on it, that was exactly its name.
Ask Yuan.
Really, to send it here mixed with a pile of underwear and clothes, how big is Xia Luohua.
Still, it's great.
Finally, I see you again.
It's great to have such a weapon.After all, the Star Seal Sword is not something that can be dismantled casually. With it, it will be much more convenient in case of a battle.Although I don't have the power to wield it now, and in this world where dragon knights are used as combat weapons, cold weapons alone can't do much, but this is enough.
Sorry, next time I have a chance, I will use you again.During this period of time, I have to continue to trouble you.I silently apologized in my heart, stuffed it back into the small ball full of daily necessities, and closed it again.After the sound of "drop", the opened ball returned to its original state.
