Becoming an undead wandering the world is not entirely a bad thing.
Not only does it not suffer from hunger and sleep, it does not know cold, tiredness, and is not afraid of darkness and pollution;
Lu Li can easily rise to the depths of the clouds, and he can also fall into the depths of the earth. The ghost world protects him from being infected by the unexpected weirdness of the evil spirit system, and he can fly like a bird——
For example, if Lu Li was still a human, he could only follow Andrea and spend a week to half a month arriving at the ice-free port of Weiner, and then make full preparations to face the approaching cold winter, wrapped in heavy clothes, and walking all over the place.
It is difficult to move between weird wilderness and ruins.
The price is that Lu Li is dead.
How long can he exist as a ghost?
Behind the scenes, the Afternoon Tea Council in the Land of Light has been trying to find a way to solve his ghost state, at least to snatch Lu Li's soul from the hands of the abyss.
They didn't understand the reason for Lu Li's stalemate. Lu Li was like the old knight in a knight's story who told the protagonist about his journey. He experienced war, suffered from war, witnessed honor and death, but in the end everything remained the same, nothing changed.
Lu Li's response to this was a metaphor.
"Are you going to tell the story about the little boy and the fish again like grandpa?"
There was a burst of laughter at the afternoon tea meeting.
"Another metaphor." Lu Li replied. And he has some relationship with Qiao Qiao and the others.
"A sailboat is lost in the deep sea. There is no food and no water source. The accidental catch only prolongs their survival and does not bring any hope, but one day..."
"They found a sunken ship with treasure in the deep sea!"
"no."
"Then discover the pirate treasure chest buried on the island."
"no."
“While they were hunting, they found treasure that had been swallowed in the belly of the whale!”
"no."
"It must be——"
"Don't interrupt him!"
Everyone except Hades listened very carefully... maybe Hades was also very serious.
Lu Li continued the story: "What gave them hope was that one day in the morning light, the crew members walking on the deck spotted the shadow of land emerging in the distance.
"The elimination of the original darkness can announce to the world: humanity has returned to the stage."
The Land of Light has not yet left the old Belfast area.
But if the original darkness disappears and the world returns to the dark clouds it had at the end of the Old Age and the beginning of the Strange Age, they will begin to explore the outside.
Start on the Allen Peninsula.
Since it was Lu Li's first speech as a lord, the afternoon tea members responded with warm applause.
"This is actually the first time?" Tesla was surprised.
"Is Lu Li a lord?" Qiao Qiao, who didn't know much about the Land of Light yet, asked in a low voice while applauding.
"Is this considered a speech?" Hades picked his nose in disgust.
In any case, the only way to maintain the ghost state after death is to wander freely in the dangerous wilderness.
No temperature, no sensation, no emotion...no problem.
At noon on the third day, Lu Li appeared on the old platform after arriving at the ice-free port of Weiner.
The endless railway outside the abandoned platform silently tells the story of the close connection between human civilization and this world.
The industrial area with tall chimneys in the distance tells the story in another way.
The railway goes around the top of what the locals call the Bread Crest. The Bread Crest is only about 600 meters above sea level and cannot block the southward movement of winter like the world's mountain ranges.
Lu Li did not say hello to the Weiner Dungeon at his feet, but called the merchant to confirm the local temperature: 7 degrees.
It is noon now, and the original darkness has cut off the light, making the surface dark and cold. It can be predicted that this year's cold winter will come immediately after the rainy season.
Winter is coming.
Arriving at the top of Bread Crest, at the end of the dark rolling hills is the unknown sea to the north.
Humanity's understanding of that sea area can be traced back hundreds of years, but exploration can only extend outward for a few hundred nautical miles. What is known is that it is a deep sea area without any islands or reefs.
After the original ignorant understanding that "Main Scroll Continent is the center of the world, and the deep sea is the end of the world," modern scholars have speculated that there is a new land on the other side of the trench abyss in the north of Main Scroll Continent, like a farmland.
What caused mankind to put aside exploration was the arrival of a strange era. However, even the discovery of the New World was nothing more than a second farmland.
Coincidentally, Lu Li once caught a glimpse of the north of the main continent in the "paper" that was both real and fake - a "lake" lying between two "islands".
Lu Li set up a summoning array for the intelligent race Sinan next to the railway, and the person who responded to the summons was the ordinary intelligent race Sinan.
It comes as an emergence from the magic circle, not from the swarm of insects that haunt the chandelier.
Lu Li told it that he had briefly jumped out of the ant box.
Before leaving the council, Lu Li told the afternoon tea members everything that happened behind the world's Back Ridge Mountains, including the encounters between the real world and the manor.
It's just that even Tesla doesn't care if he lives in an ant box or a sandbox.
Because this question is as meaningless as nothingness.
"Life is so difficult, philosophy is something only people who have no worries about food and clothing can think about." Aunt Mary, who still thinks in the old days, gave a simpler answer.
Among the reality and illusion given by the vellum, the 'reality of the world' is real, and the 'ticket to intelligent life' is also universal.
Therefore, the wise race Si Nan agreed that Lu Li jumped out of the sandbox, but reminded him that what he saw did not represent reality.
"What you see is reality in a form you can understand."
Si Nan, a wise race, told Lu Li:
Some intelligent creatures will see the magnificent Kingdom of God in the sky, some will see a bathtub, some will see silhouettes walking outside the window, and some will see that every world is a celestial body dotted in the starry sky.
Regardless, the ant box theory is real.
Lu Li, humans, and even this world are just inconspicuous spectators in the macroscopic world.
"Shouldn't we feel lucky for this?" The wise race Sinan wondered about the emotions exuded by the life in front of him.
Because it is small and inconspicuous, it is safe.
If this world were at the center and under the gaze, what awaited mankind would only be a more tragic ending.
Confirming the prophecy of the Eternal Dreamer, Lu Li bid farewell to the wise race Sinan, climbed over the hills, and wandered alone in the unknown waters of the other world, avoiding those strange and strange undersea lairs that were suspected of being occupied by strange things.
The ocean is always more dangerous than land. Even with the care of the God of the Deep Sea and the Lord of the Deep Sea, you may not be able to find shelter in the unknown sea.
But Lu Li is now drifting safely in the abyss and trench. Even though there are often strange shapes approaching due to the human aura, they will leave strangely. Occasionally, there will be groups of flying silhouettes that keep their distance and accompany Lu Li.
A coastline dormant in the darkness quietly emerged. Then, Lu Li heard the sound of the waves lapping at the coast, and then he saw wandering stars dotted in the dark and silent deep sky.
Firefly, moon, shilling.
Lu Li remembered the prophecy of the Everlasting Dreamer:
"You will meet swarms of fireflies, and they will haunt you, but not always. Find it, wait for it, follow it, and it will lead you to the moon."
The messenger of the Ever Dreamer's prophecy is among them.
