Seeing Lily's dazed look, Hao Ren knew that this girl had no idea what had just happened, so he simply explained a few words: "Raven 12345 just came in through the gap opened by your 'smuggling' and attached itself to you.
He said a few words to me."
Lily heard that it was not awkward at all to be possessed by someone, and she was very happy: "Ouch? What did the goddess say?"
"We may have 'helpers' in the future," Hao Ren said. "As I go back, the closedness of the distorted time and space will be reduced. If in the process we happen to meet other acquaintances in the historical trajectory, we can
Let them 'smuggle' in like you. However, since you all entered as consciousness bodies, you cannot bring in the equipment and power of the later generations, so you can only maintain the combat effectiveness in the historical stage."
Lily easily understood what Hao Ren meant. She lowered her head and looked at her hands, with a look of realization on her face: "I mean, why does my body feel so weak? And I just failed to summon my claws...
…”
As he spoke, the usually carefree Husky also showed a hint of emotion: "I really miss...the days in the Siberian snowfields. After I came out of the village, I wandered all the way, and my mind was full of exciting ideas.
, I have never worried about anything, and I don’t know how to think about making a living in the human world. Although I am lost, I still have a lot of fun living with a group of wolves every day... Landlord, you know, I actually actually walked all the way.
Near the Arctic Circle, I was blocked by a glacier and found that there was no way ahead, so I turned around and headed back..."
Hao Ren curled his lips and said, "I finally know that your bad temper has been like this since more than half a century ago."
Lily smiled slightly, reached out and touched inside her clothes, and finally took out the tattered, thread-bound version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with illustrations.
"Sure enough, it's here...I didn't return this book until the end," she shook her head. "I carried it to many places and read it countless times while wandering in the snowfield. Later, I read it in the human world.
I looked for food in the city, fought with people, did odd jobs, and joined gangs. Then I wanted to study and be a cultural person, so I went to Peking to study. I also took this book with me at that time... When I first graduated from Peking University
After graduation, I finally thought about going back to the small village back then, but there was no village there anymore."
Lily said and sighed: "I'll probably never go back. The old gentleman must have scolded me."
Hao Ren looked at her in surprise and hesitated for a long time before asking: "You couldn't be...crying?"
"How could it be?" Lily raised her head and bared her teeth at Hao Ren, "I was used to this kind of thing half a century ago, and it's just a little emotional. I didn't expect to be able to recall what happened back then in this form.
.Okay, okay, landlord, let’s not waste time here. Hurry out and see what era it is outside. We are still waiting to complete the task.”
Hao Ren glanced at Lily a few more times, sighing in his heart that this husky girl, who usually looked heartless, turned out to have such emotional moments. Then he nodded and came to the wooden door with a faint yellow light.
Outside the wooden door is another fragment of time and space, but on this side of the wooden door is a hunter's cabin that is still in black and white. Hao Ren stood at the door and took a deep breath, then pushed the door open without hesitation.
For a moment, the extremely stagnant time and space seemed to suddenly start moving. The sunset with residual warmth shone on my face. In the sunset, I could see several frightened chaffinches flying up. Various sounds came to my ears from all directions.
, interspersed with the creak of wheels running over the stone road and sporadic voices from far away. Hao Ren took another step outside, and then completely stepped into a new time and space.
He found that in front of him was an old street, a wet gravel road extending from south to north. Dirty and smelly sewage flowed on both sides of the road. On both sides of the street, you could see low, cramped houses.
They are arranged one after another, and most of the brick walls look very old. The lower half of the wall is covered with moss, and the upper half of the wall is mottled and peeling. The tallest building at the entrance is only two or three stories old.
The setting sun, which was about to sink into the horizon, hung on the rooftops across the street, and the light it shed was fragmented by the jagged roofs.
Perhaps it is because it is approaching dusk that there are almost no pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few figures are seen in the distance, all wearing old coarse clothes. It is rare to see neatly dressed people passing by. Those who come from a distance
The passing pedestrians hurried on with numb expressions on their faces, and no one seemed to notice the two strangely dressed people who suddenly appeared on this side of the street. Occasionally, a carriage full of sundries would rattle past the intersection in the distance.
, motorists shouted loudly at the animals with chants with strong local accents, which in turn added a sense of gloom and chaos to the streets.
Hao Ren looked back and saw that the "wooden door" he had pushed open before had not disappeared. It was abruptly embedded in a moss-covered wall, and next to it was a greasy door with an iron frame.
Above the reinforced slatted window hung a dim and swaying oil lamp. The oil lamp was gently swaying in the dusk breeze, making a slight creaking sound.
Hao Ren pushed open the door of the hunter's cabin again and found that the black and white still space behind the door still existed, and he could not find the window corresponding to the slatted window next to the door: there was no doubt that this was an abnormality.
spatial phenomena.
The cabin seemed to be "embedded" on the edge of this time and space, becoming something like a stronghold, and its only connection to this time and space was the fragile-looking wooden door.
Lily put away her ears and tail before following Hao Ren out and turned into a human. She curiously looked at the rather ancient street in front of her, and after a moment she made a guess: "It looks like Europe...
Europe six to seven hundred years ago.”
"In the late Middle Ages, we suddenly jumped to this point in time," Hao Ren nodded, "But that's right, Vivian's sleep-wakeup cycle lasts for two to three centuries. This is my second time to go back.
, it’s normal to come here.”
"In medieval Europe, the most impressive thing was the burning of witches." Lily wrinkled her nose, as if she could smell the disgusting burnt smell in the air just by saying these words, "We have really come to an incredible place.
What's the era?"
Hao Ren shrugged: "In the dark age created by mankind, the age of mythology has ended, but mankind has put itself in a stage that is even worse than the age of mythology... We'd better find a set of local clothes first. This suit
The outfit is too eye-catching when you walk outside. This is not an era that accepts performance art."
Lily wiped the sweat from her forehead: "I agree. I'm still wearing a Siberian survival suit. It's so hot..."
Hao Ren silently glanced at Lily, thinking that this girl is really sincere...
The two were agile and quickly detoured into a deserted alley and obtained a set of local clothes from the clothesline of a certain house. Although they were not very comfortable to wear, at least they solved the problem of different painting styles.
In fact, Hao Ren is not too worried about attracting the attention of local ordinary people. The threat from ordinary people to him and Lily is almost zero. What he is worried about is that the two strangely dressed people will attract the attention of the demon hunters: in this mythical age, the era has just ended.
In this special period, supernatural forces still have a profound impact on human society, and demon hunters are almost semi-openly paying attention to or monitoring the world. Although they do not care about humans, they will bribe or threaten ordinary people to serve as their informants, especially
In the European region where the mythical age ended the latest, this kind of surveillance is particularly serious. In those dark and dilapidated streets, there may be many pairs of eyes staring at everyone, and any disturbance in the nooks and crannies will eventually be sent to the hunter.
In front of the devil's eyes.
This kind of surveillance and high pressure has also spawned many fake and shoddy demon-killing organizations and individuals in disguise, and then spawned a large number of informants to serve these fakes. It must be said that these guys have contributed to the raging "witch hunt" farce in dark Europe.
one of the results.
Of course, the most important reason for the "witch hunt" farce was the church of this period - they were once a symbol of mankind's fight against supernatural forces in the mythical age, the only established armed force, and the first step in the contact between witch hunters and humans.
is an important medium, but after the end of the mythical age, the real alien threat (or "heretic threat" in the church's parlance) disappeared, and the demon hunters also severed their only positive contact with humans due to the cooling of their hunting instincts.
Church activities quickly spiraled out of control, which became the biggest reason why the witch-hunting movement was completely out of control.
But for Hao Ren, all this is irrelevant - he is just a passerby looking back on history, and everything that happens in this time and space is just a stage play staged by Vivian's memory and the mirror earth. He is on the stage.
Walking through it, all you are looking for is the "heroine".
"Landlord, I think it would be troublesome to fight with people in these clothes," Lily complained as she tugged on her long coarse cloth skirt and twisted it around. "Can't medieval European women wear clothes that are convenient for movement...
…This looks like a sack.”
What she got was a dusty burlap skirt with a hem that almost reached the floor and two ruffled sleeves. Although its style was extremely simple, it was compared to the light clothes she was used to wearing.
This is obviously too cumbersome.
"Okay, if you have something to wear, don't choose. The economic conditions of the place we stay in are obviously not very good. Each family can have several clothes for you to choose from," Hao Ren said while adjusting his short robe.
The clothes he got were a black short top and a pair of coarse trousers. There was a hooded short robe outside the short top. He didn't know the correct matching method and wearing standards of clothes in this era. He could only follow the previous
Seeing the impressions left by some pedestrians at the intersection from a distance, I put on my clothes and said, "It's almost dark. After it gets completely dark, we will start to explore and try to figure out where this place is and what the end of this year will be."
How many years is it?"
As he spoke, he gently pressed his waist, and the hard and cold touch of metal came.
He knew that there was a holy silver dagger hanging there - the standard weapon of the demon hunter, model 1315, kindly sponsored by Hasselblad.
