Parallel Armies—The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 34 Temporary Separation
"Susie?" Alexander walked up to the wolf and looked into her eyes. "Is there anything you want to tell us?"
"Alexander, do you know this beast?" Hitz asked.
"Alexander told about a wolf on the way to the Great Rift Valley. I can't remember exactly, but it must be this one." Fageni picked up the knife and sat on the ground and said.
"I guess this is no more surprising than knowing Sherlock." Alexander reached out to Susie to touch her head, but through the light blue spirit body, he only touched air.
Susie had always only been close to Noli, but now Void rubbed against Alexander. Of course she didn't feel anything... Then she got into the pile of flesh and blood and took out a few things and put them on the relatively clean floor. She didn't know how she changed again.
into entity.
Alexander picked up the things Susie took out. "Is this?" The first one was the cube of unknown material that the five people had been transferred to before, the second group was four blood-colored crystal beads, and the third one was a ball with weak electricity.
A glow, a transparent core with blood streaks. Then Susie's soul entered the core of origin and disappeared.
Alexander felt a little uncomfortable looking at the Origin Core and put it away silently. "It looks like we have a way out, and these crystals... well, they should be useful things, let's share them."
"I don't know how Hoffis is doing. What did she say before?" Fageni shook his head.
"Hmm. By the way, our initial purpose was not to investigate bandits, so why did we get involved in so many things?" Hitz asked.
"There are so many things like this. Who would have known before we went to the Great Rift Valley that we were going to defend against the invasion of demons?" Fageni asked in return.
At this time, the emblem on Alexander's body lit up and absorbed the cube. After the absorption was completed, Alexander's soul seemed to have entered the past time and space for an instant.
In the rain forest, Alexander saw his second self, who was much older, shooting the arrow that pointed at his younger self, but Alexander felt that there was a line of sight behind him.
[Huh?] Alexander turned his head and tried to search for the source of his vision, but the scene changed in the next moment. The scene changed to Nolly sending Susie into the depths of the rainforest to coexist with wolves for a final farewell after they parted ways.
The next moment, Sherlock, who had been affected and wanted to die on his own initiative, went berserk. Susie led the wolf pack to stop him, but failed.
[This is Susie’s memory... right?] Susie probably didn’t see the arrow that Old Alexander shot at the beginning.
In the end, countless scenes disappeared, and Alexander felt a splitting headache, and his soul and consciousness returned to reality. This was only a moment, and others only saw Alexander covering his forehead.
Fageni stood up with his hands on his hands, and then walked to Alexander. "Were you attacked by something? Or something?"
"I probably understand why Susie and Sherlock are here. However, I still don't know how they got here." Alexander put down his hand, but he still had a headache.
"Is it Charlotte's remaining curse?" Heath asked.
"It should be Susie's memory...Okay, don't worry about it." Alexander still had a lot to do, so she covered her head again and stood up. "Go find Chester and the others, we should leave."
It seemed that Alexander was fine, so Fageni put the long sword back into its sheath. "Let's go then." He looked around the room to avoid missing any trophies.
"Wait a minute, aren't all the people in the village already... dead?" Hitz asked.
"What are you talking about? The puppeteer lady above has told us that they are all dead, right?" Alexander shook his head.
"You are now very similar to Kanas who entered the forest and asked why he came in." Fageni mocked.
"If you have something to say, don't take me along." Kanas said dissatisfied.
"...Although I still held on to a glimmer of hope at the time, it was all the evil god's fault." Hitz pouted, but no one saw it.
"Let's go." Fageni passed Alexander and left the room to find Hophis.
"Hey, let's go." Hitz chased after a few steps.
In this room, Hofis was poking a pile of red ice particles on the ground with a wooden stick. "You can leave now, the trap is in this room." Then the clone came in from the outside room, put Chester on the ground and dissipated.
.
"Then how to turn on the mechanism?" Fageni asked.
Hofis pointed to a removed stone brick in the corner, which contained a small console. "Go directly to the first floor. There are stairs to go up."
"We've solved it here too." Alexander went over to check on Chester's condition, then picked it up and prepared to leave. "This place really leaves a bad memory for people."
"Yes, I thought I was going to die several times..." Hitz couldn't help but think of that sudden memory.
"I really died for once." Kanas's voice came from behind.
Several people left the ruins and collected the required materials from a room on the first floor. After leaving the Aren't Forest, Hophis said goodbye and left, returning to the Aren't Forest camp before dawn.
A few people took a day off and took Chester to the lakeside, obtained another living material and returned again.
After that, they took a steam locomotive to Sima City. During the trip, Kanas left the team in order to become the eyes of the Sea Tribe. When he was leaving, Alexander gave him a Origin Core that he had obtained in the Forest of Desolation.
After several people discussed and obtained Chester's opinion, the child said an affectionate farewell to his group leader, Uncle Fageni, and Sister Hitz with tears in his face, and stayed in Sima City with other adventurers or mercenaries.
Form a team to improve yourself.
After passing through Yajiao Town, we took the boat again to Copenhagen. When we returned, it was already dark and the three of us were very tired.
The smelly Rafflesia and the prickly Baneweed were handed over to each other and taken back with the other, and four hundred lindens went into Alexander's pocket.
"Sigh... Looking back, I'm not used to the fact that the two of us are suddenly gone." Alexander shook his head and sighed, preparing to find a place to live.
"Yeah, they just left." Hitz also sighed.
Fageni touched the stubble on his face and thought about how to make his appearance match his age.
I checked into several hotels in a row, but they were basically full, and a single room cost 20 paise, which was the same price as before.
Alexander booked three single rooms. "Have a good rest tonight. I'm too tired to say anything more. Do you have anything to add?"
"No, I'm going to sleep first." Fageni was still thinking, he took the key and waved his hand and walked into his room.
Hitz shook his head and prepared to take a good bath.
After washing, Alexander thought for a long time and decided to make Susie's core of origin into a guidance potion and absorb it.
As always...the three of them slept until noon, completely replenishing their energy and energy.
After Fageni finished washing, he walked out of his room, then knocked on the door to see if Alexander and Hitz had eaten.
Alexander opened the door and came to the corridor. "Ah. Speaking of which, on that island we heard from the sailors before, we might be able to find those fish eggs? Let's go and inquire in detail. Find out how much money it will cost to hire people and boats.
After that, we will update the equipment and supplies.”
"Are you seasick?" Hitz also came out.
"Okay, this is the last item left." Fageni nodded.
Fagni touched the wound on his body. This wound should be able to heal completely on its own on the road. "To be honest, I have never seen a boat before coming here, but haven't we already done it twice?"
"Well, actually I haven't touched the boat." At least Heath didn't recall any memories about the boat.
"Okay, don't talk about this, let's go find out about the island." Alexander walked to the stairs.
"Okay, okay. Ah, let's eat first now?" Hitz asked.
"We can have a meal at the pier." Fageni went downstairs.
The three of them anxiously arrived at a tavern where the sailors had been. It happened that many sailors were still eating, drinking and bragging loudly.
Alexander ordered his own lunch first and sat near the sailors. He looked for an opportunity to interject when they were quiet for a while and asked them about the strange island and the eggs of the bluegill fish.
Fageni ordered one and sat directly at one of the tables, chatting with the sailors and asking about Burial Island.
Poor Hitz endured the stares of many sailors, sitting in a corner without daring to talk to her, just eating heavy seafood dishes that were not to her liking.
Fageni learned that the reefs of Buried River Island had swallowed up countless ships. It was one of the islands that was recognized among sailors as one that could not be visited. Of course, this was talking about wooden ships, and the ironclad ships would have suffered some damage at most. This was very famous, so he did not say anything.
I found it easily, but that's all.
Several sailors Alexander asked said they had never heard of this kind of fish, but the island was probably Burialliu Island.
Following the bragging of the sailors, Fageni asked if there was anyone capable of visiting Burialliu Island.
A big man told Fageni that there were once a few old sailors who repaired the ship and came back alive, causing a sensation. These people are either dead now or have become first mates or even captains, and some have changed careers to become merchants.
After asking this, the group of sailors had almost finished eating and it was time to leave. They still had to go to the Overlook City of the Union. Fageni also hurriedly finished eating and continued to catch up with them with an expression of interest to ask who they were.
Several sailors thought for a while and answered a few names, but then told Fageni that they were all at sea.
Phageni thanked them, said goodbye to them, and then met Alexander and the others to tell the other two the news he had heard.
Alexander asked a few simple questions, and the sailors here answered them accordingly. Now that they had finished eating and drinking, they went back to their homes to find their wives.
"To put it simply, do we have to hire ironclads? We may not be able to afford the price..." Alexander had a headache.
"Four hundred linseys may not be enough." Heath added like a last-ditch attack.
"Finding a few people who can fly to take us there will probably cost less than driving an iron ship. Why don't we go to the Church of the God of Glory and let them think of a solution."
"Maybe we can go to the mercenary industry to see if anyone is interested in that island. If anyone wants to find some bodyguards to go with us, then things will be easier to handle. Just go to the church... I always think... let's take a look first.
." Alexander did not want to directly trouble the church's clergy.
"Then let's go to ICBC first, but I don't think so." After finishing speaking, Fageni got up and walked away.
Alexander wiped his mouth with a towel. "It doesn't cost anything to go and see."
Hitz quickly drank the last mouthful of milk and followed.
