…
"terribly sorry."
Valido refused bluntly:
"We can't reveal this..."
"At least we can't reveal it before we set off. After all, it's a precious item with a very high level of confidentiality."
Ji Qiu frowned.
He didn't really like the feeling of being led by someone.
It seemed as if there was a hand controlling all this behind the scenes.
Considering that the person behind the Sulfur Chamber of Commerce is most likely Lord Xia Qirui himself.
This "escort mission" that suddenly appeared has many other meanings.
What a pity.
He thought that the probability of finding Mr. Z through normal means was extremely low.
At this point, all we can do is pretend to be nice.
"All right."
"When will you arrange for me to meet him?"
Ji Qiu said bluntly.
"The escort mission will start in the early morning of four days. One day in advance, we will gather all the temporarily hired guards together for a face-to-face meeting so that everyone can get to know each other."
Walido said with a smile:
"If that's the case, you'll be able to see Mr. Z in three days..."
Ji Qiu was thoughtful:
"You found him too?"
Walido nodded and said:
"That's true, otherwise we wouldn't be so confident to invite you..."
"We will definitely keep our promise and arrange a private meeting for you, but you need to be reminded that Mr. Z is a very arrogant young man. We know very little about him. When he is not willing to communicate with you, he will pretend that he does not understand our language at all..."
"So please don't provoke him during your meeting. Once you find that the other party doesn't seem to understand what you are saying, it basically means the end of the meeting."
"Of course, if you really want to find him for something, don't worry. After all, he will complete the escort mission, and you will have plenty of time and opportunities to communicate along the way..."
Having said this.
Walido left Ji Qiu a room card and a formal invitation letter.
The room card is for the room of the official inn of Xiaqirui Castle.
You can check in for free at any time with your room card.
There is a 30% discount on meals.
The content of the invitation letter is some information about this escort mission.
Most of what Validor has said has been explained.
The rest are just some tips and details about the risks.
Ji Qiu harvested the things.
The two of them then separated.
After leaving.
Ji Qiu was still thinking about the mystery behind the Sulfur Chamber of Commerce's escort mission.
"I always feel like I'm being arranged by someone..."
"I wonder if Lord Roger is spying on me?"
Ji Qiu smiled bitterly.
Unfortunately, Roger didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He could only leave quietly.
Fortunately.
No need to sleep in the city gate tonight.
This is undoubtedly good news for Ji Qiu, who is full of worries.
…
Three days later.
night.
The third underground floor of the official inn of Xiaqirui Castle.
In a spacious and sacred hall.
The candlelight flickered.
The singing is pleasant.
More than thirty powerful guards were shuttling back and forth.
Because it is a practice reception.
So most people wear casual clothes.
Ji Qiu observed.
The guards of the Sulfur Chamber of Commerce are all great demons.
They are of strong build.
The eyes are fierce.
While drinking.
But all the subconscious reflex details are enough to prove that these big demons are veterans with rich combat experience.
They looked happy—
Of course, a lot of fine wine is indispensable at the practice wine party.
There are also women and men.
These simple elements are enough to satisfy the great demons.
Very quickly.
There was an obscene atmosphere in the hall.
…
A corner of the hall.
Walido, who arrived late, said to Ji Qiu with an apologetic look on his face:
"I'm so sorry I'm late."
"Mr. Z seemed very reluctant to attend this kind of cocktail party, but I finally got him out. Now it's time for the two of you..."
After saying.
He turned away and snapped his fingers.
All nearby demons were driven away.
Only Ji Qiu and another handsome young man were left staring at each other.
Ji Qiu didn't rush to speak.
He looked at Z silently.
This guy is totally different from the "time travel wizard" he imagined.
He has yellow hair.
Her face is too fair.
She has a pretty good figure.
The type who looks thin when dressed but has flesh when undressed...
But how could this guy be a top-level spellcaster?
Ji Qiu did not feel any ether power from him!
Very quickly.
Ji Qiu noticed again.
ZIn addition to his excellent appearance.
The most attractive thing is the wrist guards on his hands!
Those two wrist guards are really too big.
It looks heavy too.
At first glance, it could easily be misunderstood as a slave control device.
But if you feel it carefully.
However, Ji Qiu sensed an explosive aura of magic from the pair of wristbands!
"Those wristbands are his medium for casting spells?"
Ji Qiu was a little absent-minded.
But he soon realized that staring at someone like that was not very polite.
He smiled and greeted:
"Hello."
"I am Tata... Like you, I also come from another world..."
Z glanced at him lightly.
Then he said disdainfully:
"Your name is not Tata, your name is Ji Qiu."
"You are also completely different from me. You just come from another dimension of this world, but I am a true time-travel sorcerer."
Ji Qiu was not angry.
On the one hand, he had already prepared himself mentally.
Valido has repeatedly hinted at how irritating this Z is.
On the other hand, he was distracted by Z's voice and words.
"How does he know my real name?"
Ji Qiu's heart trembled.
"And the way he speaks is so weird, as if he really doesn't understand the common language, but relies on magic to translate it..."
It seemed that he had noticed Ji Qiu's psychological changes.
Z laughed contemptuously:
"That demon is so stupid that he actually thought a small character like you was capable of escorting a monster like that..."
"I have a piece of advice for you."
"It's best for you to leave early."
Ji Qiu was slightly annoyed.
But he restrained himself.
Instead, he continued along with what the other person said:
"Do you know what the escort mission is about?"
Z responded nonchalantly:
"Of course I know..."
"But why should I tell you?"
"Damn it, wasn't it said that there would be a lot of big-breasted succubi today ? How come I didn't see any? They were all fakes with water added. Damn it, that profiteer Walido actually brought in humans with succubus bloodline to pass them off as good ones..."
Listen to the other person's complaints.
Ji Qiu felt more and more strange.
"Do you like succubi?"
He asked.
Z glared at him:
"Of course, there are men who don't like it?"
"Or do you have a top-grade succubus at home?"
"If so, then I can be friends with you."
His smile became a little weird.
Ji Qiu coughed and said:
"I don't……"
"Then what the hell are you talking about!"
Z said disappointedly:
"Valido lied to me that you might be a sister disguised as a man, so I came here!"
"Now it seems that the fat devil really deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Ji Qiu, the martial artist who was just sent out by Wuliang Sect Master to work as a trial fighter at level 149..."
Ji Qiu was shocked again.
He was just about to make a move.
But that moment.
His belt was wrapped around him faster than he could!
Bang!
The belt left Ji Qiu's waist.
It was tightly wrapped around Z's arms and chest.
"What kind of game is this?"
Z was surprised.
He looked at Ji Qiu who was holding up his trousers.
Anger was about to well up in his eyes.
It can be turned in an instant.
He showed his delight:
"So you have someone else with you!"
“This aura…”
"Oh, I understand. Tell Walido that I won't accept the escort mission tomorrow!"
Speaking of.
A bright light burst out from his right wrist guard.
Another snap.
The belt fell to the ground.
Z's figure disappeared in the white light.
Before Ji Qiu could react.
Roger's voice rang in his ears:
"Don't worry about Z's matter. I'll take care of it."
"besides……"
"Remember to put your belt on."
…
…
Demonic Dragon Abyss.
Roger tried to look calmly at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Z at this moment is completely different from the arrogant LSP seen through Ji Qiu's perspective before.
Roger felt an aura from Z that was very similar to his own.
That kind of breath.
You won't have it without going through thousands of battles.
That is a temperament unique to top adventurers!
"I didn't expect that this universe still has half a billion lives."
Z smiled lightly and said:
“Seeing you is like seeing myself in the past.”
"You don't belong to this universe either, do you?"
Roger's heart was shocked.
But he nodded calmly:
"Same as you."
Z adjusted his wrist guard.
Then he said calmly:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Feng."
"I am a time traveler. Later, after years of hard I became a professional time travel sorcerer. Unfortunately, I failed during my last time traveling. I originally wanted to find a way home, but I don't know why I came to this universe inexplicably..."
"I was quite confused before, but now I understand. It turns out that someone sucked me here..."
Roger then said:
"You mean me?"
"Yes, there is always a strong attraction between the lives in the multiverse..."
Zhang Feng said affirmatively:
"After my failed journey through time, I could have randomly fallen into several nearby universes, but because of your existence, I came here."
"From that moment on, we were destined to meet each other sooner or later, just like this time when you didn't go out, but just asked your followers to go out for a walk, but you still ran into me."
"This is the wonderful attraction between life in the multiverse."
Roger nodded.
The moment I saw Zhang Feng.
He also felt that enlightenment.
Perhaps the aura that was familiar to him was not the temperament of an adventurer.
But it is the resonance between life in multiple universes.
"But it's not a bad thing."
Zhang Feng said nonchalantly:
"This proves that the general direction of my original time travel formula is correct. This universe is not far from my hometown. I just need to try to travel through it a few more times."
Roger asked:
"Your hometown? May I ask if your hometown has any special name?"
Zhang Feng smiled and said:
"Are you trying to say whether we could be from the same hometown?"
"Although I think that kind of fate is great, the fact is that it is absolutely impossible!"
"In a universe, at most one multiverse life can exist at the same time."
"My home planet is called Blue. Yours doesn't happen to be called that, does it?"
Roger felt relieved.
He shook his head.
I feel a little lost.
"You must have come to me for more than just this, right?"
Roger looked at Zhang Feng.
The latter said frankly:
"I need your help."
"You seem to have mastered a large part of the laws of the planet. Although it is not the highest level of cosmic laws, it can provide me with great help in traveling through time."
"Huh? You actually used the bug in the law to make yourself immune to spells? That's amazing, but it's a pity that I can't learn it..."
He looked at Roger with interest.
That look is very similar to the Frankenstein in Roger's impression...
He seemed to want to dissect Roger's body for experiments!
"It was an accident."
Even with Zhang Feng's enthusiastic attitude.
Roger also remained cautious enough.
He knows very well that the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make.
“That’s pretty impressive too.”
"Monsters like you are the natural enemies of us mages. In the universe I traveled through, people like you will be eliminated ten thousand times before they grow up!"
Zhang Feng said with emotion.
Roger was very interested in Zhang Feng's experience.
Then he led him to continue:
"What was the universe you traveled through like?"
Zhang Feng was quite generous:
"The universe is just like that. It might be a little strange at first, but you'll get used to it after wearing it for a while!"
"But ours is an old universe that has experienced a magic drought, so the native mages that can be seen everywhere in your world have become extinct in our world."
"Look, this is the medium we use to cast spells, the magic heart!"
Speaking of.
He directly took off the wrist guard on his left hand.
Roger took a closer look.
On his overly white left wrist.
There is a slight bulge.
The raised part was still jumping.
Like a heart!
The color of this patch of skin is also light purple.
It looks a bit weird.
"The Magical Dry Well is a period of decline that every universe will experience."
Zhang Feng further explained:
"After this, the magic power of the entire universe will sink into the dark plane where ordinary creatures cannot communicate. At this time, the original magicians will naturally become extinct. Fortunately, we have developed the "artificial magic heart"!"
"All ordinary people, as long as they have an artificial magic heart transplanted - the one on my wrist, will have the ability to cast spells. Of course, spell casting skills, spell strength, spell casting speed, spell reserves are closely related to the level of the magic heart, and are also linked to the strength of the person himself..."
"But this kind of thing is not needed in this universe right now."
He smiled and put the wrist guard back on:
"Although I don't have the talent to become a native mage, I can still feel the terrifying magical aura here..."
Roger nodded thoughtfully.
So those wrist guards are just for protection?
After all, according to Zhang Feng.
After transplanting the artificial demon heart.
Ordinary people can also become top magicians.
But the importance of the demon heart transcends everything.
Once destroyed.
The consequences are naturally disastrous.
“It’s fun.”
Roger commented.
"What is this..."
Zhang Feng shook his head and said:
"Different universes have different wonders, and the really interesting things are still on the way!"
immediately.
He looked at Roger with some regret:
“You’ve got too much on your shoulders.”
"I won't be able to live happily like this..."
Roger groaned:
"One day, I will unload all the burdens."
“It’s difficult.”
Zhang Feng commented:
“Once you have attachments, all the familiar and beloved people will become obstacles when you want to leave.”
"Back then, I established an unprecedented battle mage empire in the universe I traveled through. My authority and power reached the limit, my prestige spread throughout the universe, and everyone welcomed me with a smile."
"But when I started to look for a way home, my once loyal subordinates and obedient harem began to undergo subtle changes..."
“No one wants me to leave.”
"Because they are used to living under the protection of their patron saint."
"But they have never considered whether their patron saint would get tired, whether he would have his own pursuits, or whether... he would also yearn for freedom."
