Lu Xiao spent his first mission in Italy. With the idea of never forgetting his original intention, he set his first stop abroad in Tuscany, Italy, the place he once fought for...
Although it's in another world.
Just like Aletheia said, in Western capitalist countries, as long as you don't break the law blatantly, you can do whatever you want if you have money.
On the second day after returning to the main world, while Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen were still sleeping hugging each other, Aletheia had already completed all the procedures.
After finishing the first world, Lu Xiao once toured around Florence and gained a preliminary understanding of the country's modern customs.
This time is different, Lu Xiao plans to live in Italy for a long time.
Before that, he first had a phone call with his parents who were far away in Sichuan and used the job transfer as an excuse to tell them that he was going to live in Italy for a long time.
Lu Xiao's parents are busy working in the store all day long. They are not like most retired people who have nothing to do. They live a very fulfilling life.
Lu Xiao was told to return to China as much as possible during the holidays and to pay attention to personal and property safety when living abroad. The two elders did not say much about his job transfer.
Lu Xiao's first choice was the city of Monteriggioni, which he has a close relationship with.
Unfortunately, this ancient castle was marked by the Italian government as a cultural attraction and not for sale to the public. In desperation, Lu Xiao could only choose from the alternative targets provided by Aletheia.
In the end, Lu Xiao decided to buy a manor in the town of Bolgheri in southern Tuscany.
The history of the town of Bolgheri can be traced back to the 8th century AD, but its real rise was during the Renaissance.
It has soil and climate that are very suitable for grape growth. It is one of the most famous wine producing areas in Italy and is also a tourist attraction in Italy.
To the west of the town of Bolgheri is the famous Tuscan coastline. In the manor purchased by Aletheia, you can see the blue and vast sea by opening the west-facing window on the second floor.
The entire town is surrounded by the world-famous Malima vineyards, with both coastal scenery and magnificent natural scenery.
After leaving the modern city surrounded by reinforced concrete, Yongzhen's mood obviously relaxed a lot. The beautiful pastoral scenery of Tuscany made her smile from the bottom of her heart.
The property Aletheia purchased was originally a wine estate.
Due to a sudden epidemic, the workers of the winery were forced to quarantine at home. The long-term inability to start work made the manor owner overwhelmed. Due to the continuous losses, he finally decided to reluctantly sell the winery. Lu Xiao came to take over the purchase at this time.
Whether or not to continue producing wine is not important to Lu Xiao, who has endless wealth. He mainly values the beautiful scenery here.
"Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming."
It is the beautiful month of March now. If it were not for the impact of the epidemic, the tourist resort town of Bulgari would have been filled with tourists from all over the world. However, the quiet atmosphere of the town at this time is just right for Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.
mood.
The town of Bulgari still retains the ancient buildings from the Renaissance. Strolling through the slow-paced town gave Lu Xiao the illusion of traveling back in time 500 years ago.
Yongzhen is much more receptive to this kind of beautiful suburban town than a modern city. In order to facilitate communication with her neighbors, she is currently learning Italian from Lu Xiao.
At night, a faint female moan came from the master bedroom on the second floor of the manor. Yongzhen, who was sitting on the big bed, was sweating profusely and looked a little depressed, as if he was insisting on enduring something.
Don't get me wrong, this is not driving, but Lu Xiao using the ability of soul materialization to enhance the strength of Yongzhen's soul and give her endless vitality.
After successively undergoing the life force endowment of Kuon Maiya and the practical test of Illya's soul transformation, Lu Xiao is very confident that he can successfully complete the soul transformation of Yongzhen.
The human soul is a relatively abstract concept. Some modern scholars have tried to explain the soul in a scientific way, but most of them cannot justify it.
In modern academic circles, the soul is still a topic prone to widespread debate.
For people like Lu Xiao who are deeply rooted in the mysterious world, there is no doubt that the soul exists. It is a collection of human consciousness and spirit, another illusory body different from the physical body.
Even after leaving the Xingyue world, the materialized soul is still available, and the evidence is the endless source of magic power running in Lu Xiao's soul.
While mastering the ability to materialize the soul, Lu Xiao also sublimated the alchemy he learned from Einzbern's documents and turned it into an advanced ability he named Alchemy.
While strengthening the strength of Yongzhen's soul, Lu Xiao was also simultaneously using alchemy techniques to strengthen Yongzhen's body so that her body could withstand the suddenly strengthened soul.
Soul and body, they complement each other and are indispensable.
However, with the skill of refining, Lu Xiao no longer has to stick to her original body.
Just like Aozaki Orange, he can make a lot of spare bodies with exactly the same performance as the main body whenever necessary.
Coupled with the extremely high soul strength after the soul materialized, it is not that easy for Lu Xiao to die now.
"Ha~ha~"
Under Lu Xiao's deliberate control, the strengthening of the soul and body that lasted for a week was finally completed successfully without any side effects.
Panting heavily, Yongzhen tried to calm his breathing and tried to clench his fists to feel his renewed body.
"The materialization of the soul is really a terrifying ability."
Yongzhen picked up the white towel placed aside and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Known as the Soft Sword, she had a very high level of control over her body, and she could clearly feel the improvement in her all-round abilities after being strengthened.
If in the past Yongzhen's physical fitness was only that of an ordinary person after long-term training, now she can defeat Captain Rogers of the United States just by relying on her physical ability... provided that the 50-50 cheat of the American team is not turned on.
"How does it feel?"
Lu Xiao pulled Yongzhen's white and tender arm to check.
Yongzhen's body looks unchanged from the outside, but her body strength and flexibility are at least three times greater than before, and her internal organs' ability to withstand blows has also been greatly improved.
Yongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Although it's a bit unbelievable, I should be able to easily win even if I fight Master Isshin now."
Yongzhen's martial arts skills are outstanding in the world of Sekiro, but due to her physical strength, she will suffer more in head-to-head battles.
After making up for this shortcoming, Yongzhen's close combat ability is worth looking forward to. Even if he faces a well-known swordsman in the world of Xingyue, Lu Xiao believes that Yongzhen has hope of defeating him.
As Lu Xiao's chosen partner, Yong Zhen knows almost all of Lu Xiao's secrets except for the existence of the system.
The virtuous and considerate Yongzhen would patiently listen to the stories told by Lu Xiao, and occasionally give some suggestions that gave Lu Xiao a flash of inspiration.
…
Time is fair to everyone, but according to different subjective experiences, time seems to flow at different speeds in the eyes of different people... Of course, this is actually just an illusion.
Under the influence of the epidemic, the pace of life in Baogeli Town is very slow, but Lu Xiao and Yongzhen always feel that time flies very fast in their leisurely rural life.
The half-month break after returning to the main world flew by quickly. This time, the system released the name of the new world and the world mission content on time 24 hours before departure.
'If I guessed correctly, it should be the most troublesome Xingyue parallel world.'
