"I like the Martial Emperor Sword better. That's what you call it, right? The 100,000 Star Destruction Cannon at full blast is really impressive. I couldn't help but want to turn it into a magic wand several times, you know. of."
"You guy, if you do such a stupid thing, I will have to pull your ridiculous lower body out of the mud and insert it into the manure pit." When I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat. This bastard Xianyu Jian, actually I have had such an idea.
But as soon as I rolled my eyes, my tone changed drastically, and I said flatteringly: "You really like the 100,000 star destruction cannon, right? Evelina, can you help me repair it and upgrade it at the same time?"
"Impossible." Although this guy who was difficult to talk yawned, his tone was very firm, and he knew that there was no chance.
"Let's rebuild that fish-bone sword, at least like the Martial Emperor Sword, with the ability to increase energy." Seeing that the Martial Emperor Sword couldn't come back, I took the next step, hoping that Evelina's little remaining conscience would You can give me some compensation for the mental trauma I suffered this time.
"It's impossible, impossible. With your current strength, if you continue to increase your strength several times casually like the Emperor Wu Sword, your enemies will cry."
"It's so considerate of you to help me consider the enemy's mood." I gritted my teeth, wishing I could hide the hateful bear face of this smelly sword.
"Praise, reward, forget it, after all, I went too far this time, so I will give you a little reminder as compensation."
"Oh?" I cheered up. It seemed that this guy still had half a conscience.
"Actually, this sword, the fish bone sword you mentioned, is not as weak as imagined. Although it cannot easily increase its energy eight to ten times like the Emperor Wu Sword, it still has some strange abilities waiting to be discovered. "
"What kind of ability is it? How should I explore it?" I felt excited and full of longing.
"Yes, what exactly is it? For example, knowing its true name can release power, such as swastika or something..."
"Wait, let me confirm, did you use a questioning tone just now?"
"Definitely."
"You're so stupid to ask questions, didn't you make this thing? Why don't you even know what its abilities are!"
I was angry. Isn’t this cheating? Is there anyone more irresponsible than this guy? I have lived for more than thirty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a cheating person!
"Even if you say so... I made it on a whim at the time. I didn't prepare it well. It was like crumpling a piece of paper and stuffing it into it without knowing what was written on it. do you understand?"
"I understand! I completely understand! You are even more of a scumbag than Jiangnan Leather Factory!"
"Don't say that, I haven't owed you any wages." Evelina's tone gave people the illusion that she was picking her nose and squinting her eyes.
I almost fainted from the anger of this salty fish sword that can kill a thousand swords.
After gasping for air, I waited for the fishbone sword in my hand for a long time. I found that my gaze had no power at all, so I reluctantly changed the subject.
Anyway, at least now I know that I haven't fully tapped out the potential of this salmon sword. In addition to the known abilities, there seems to be something more interesting hidden there.
"Let me tell you, Evelina, you are quite clear about those things in my original world, aren't you?" I thought about it and suddenly asked.
Whether it’s the pure American-accented English at the beginning, or words like COSPLAY that are unlikely to appear in the dark continent, as well as magical girls, transformation wands, and even migrant workers comics, this guy seems to have dabbled in them all. What an amazing person. People are becoming more and more curious about the mysterious guy.
"Of course." About this, Evelina seemed to have no intention of hiding it and said straightforwardly.
"Have I not told you before? I have been paying attention to you before you came to the Dark Continent."
"Eh? Have you ever said anything like this?"
"Sorry, I forgot too."
"Then don't say it in a tone like [you must have forgotten your fault], you bastard!"
"Isn't it human nature to take the lead and confidently turn ambiguous things to one's own advantage?"
"You have learned a lot about the bad nature of human beings!!!"
"I think I was just acting spontaneously."
"Yes, because your character is inherently bad, it makes sense to act rashly!"
"It's great to have a friend like you who allows me to do whatever I want."
"I'm not good at all. God, Buddha, Sanqing, everyone is good. Come and help me put this guy on the blacklist!"
"It doesn't matter, private chat can't be done, I can use the world speaker."
"You know all about the trolling routines of domestic online games, you bastard!"
I was panting again because of Evelina, calm down, I have to calm down now, I can’t fall into this guy’s realm of complaints again.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, I found something in my previous words that cannot be ignored.
"You just said that you have been paying attention to me before I came to the Dark Continent, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed so."
"A perverted stalker discovered!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."
"What is a misunderstanding? Isn't it like this? He was already following me before I came here. This is not a stalker!"
"No, I mean, not only before you came, but also in your previous life, the life before you, the life after that, the life after that, all the way back far, far away, I have been following you... Oh, No, I’m paying attention to you.”
I:"……"
Evelina said it so straightforwardly that I swallowed it hard as I was about to talk about being a super perverted stalker.
This has gone far beyond the scope of tracking, and can no longer be described in the language I can master now. Realizing this fact makes me speechless.
"You...are following me like this. What are you trying to do?" Thinking of how many times in my life I might have been watched by others even when I went to the toilet, I got goosebumps all over my body.
"It's not that detailed. I don't have that kind of hobby. I just casually and reluctantly confirmed your general situation." Evelina seemed to be aware of my thoughts and explained.
"Since you're so careless and unwilling to do so, just don't pay attention at all!" I flipped up the coffee table angrily. This feeling of being despised by a stalker made me touch Fuyoukai.
"You think I'm thinking, forget it, don't use this method to collect information anymore, I won't reveal more."
It's just a stupid sword, but it's so sharp that it can see through my plan without blinking.
"Why are you following me? Could it be that...I am actually a very scary guy who can destroy the world casually. Are you sent to monitor me?" I didn't give up and asked directly.
"You think too much, Sao Nian, it's time to get up and move the bricks." Evelina said coldly.
"..." This guy seems to be getting more and more venomous recently. I can't help it. This time, he has completely gained the upper hand. He has requests from others, so it is natural for him to be suppressed and beaten.
"I said, Evelina has been following me since a long time ago. Why did we pretend that we didn't know each other when we first met in the Dark Continent?" I sat down and prepared to start. Pull homely mode.
"If you don't pretend, won't you notice it?" Evelina replied angrily, as if to say, are you an idiot for asking such a question?
"Why are you afraid of being seen out?"
"Would you tell the person you've been following that I've been following you and be careful?"
"You know that you have been doing bad things, so you deliberately concealed it and didn't dare to say anything. But I still feel that this is not an important reason." I activated the man's sixth sense and was keenly aware of the fact.
"Oh? I suddenly became smarter. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you, because I didn't know when you would die at that time, so I felt there was no need to explain it in detail. After all, your original world was very different from this one, even if there were some Special powers may not be adaptable."
"That's the truth." I sighed with emotion. Looking back on the past, even I couldn't believe that I had traveled from a peaceful world to here, from a useless otaku to an adventurer, and actually survived.
It felt like if I accidentally took a wrong step in the middle, I might have died a long time ago, so it makes sense for Evelina to say this.
"Now you are revealing it quite readily." I suddenly realized that Evelina, who had been hesitating before, seemed to have revealed a lot of information this time, although it was all key parts.
"The stronger the strength, the greater the authority." Evelina said concisely and comprehensively.
"I see, that means that one day, when I am strong enough, you will tell me everything, right?"
"Uh-huh." She snorted arrogantly. Evelina was noncommittal and did not answer.
"What kind of strength is needed?" I asked reluctantly.
"Do you really want to know that much?" it asked suddenly.
This question is a bit...of course...thinking?
I thought about it seriously and was a little shaken.
The deeds of countless senbei tell me that knowing too much is not necessarily good.
"So, cherish the peaceful life you have now. Isn't this the goal you have been pursuing?" Seeing that I was speechless, Evelina sneered.
"That's right." I sighed.
"One more thing, I forgot whether I reminded you before. If so, just think of it as a statement again." Evelina suddenly changed into a serious tone.
"Indeed, my ability may be stronger than you think, but don't take any chances. Don't count on me. Don't rely on me. Even if you die, I won't take action."
Unless...until...
Evelina sighed softly in her heart and swallowed these two words.
"Hey, hey, that's so callous."
"This is a matter of principle."
"When you were tinkering with the Salmon Sword for me, you probably didn't think of principles."
"This is different. The Salmon Sword itself is part of your ability. I did not give it to you or take it away from you. I just embodied part of your ability in the form of the Salmon Sword."
"Asshole, that is to say, I might have had the ability of the gorgeous [Death Eye], but you changed it into a salmon?" After hearing this, I suddenly felt unbearable.
"Maybe, of course, don't forget that it may also be an ability like [Naughty Child Stickers]."
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence, I accepted the reality.
"Okay, I understand, you won't help me, right, I understand." Scratching my head, I reflected a little.
When did it start? It must have been when I realized that Evelina might actually be a very formidable existence. Indeed, I felt a little lucky in my heart. With my relationship with Evelina, if it encounters danger, it will look at it to some extent. Just help me out as a friend, that's it.
Although I only have a little bit of this idea, at the moment of life and death, this little bit of thought is enough, enough to make me feel lucky, thinking that Evelina may come to the rescue, thus losing the last chance to survive. .
Even if the halo of the protagonist really exists, it must be fought with life. There is never an easy savior. When I lose this courage to fight and fantasize about a helping hand, maybe the next story is I met God and then went with him to pick up soap scripts in the Space-Time Administration.
"I can tell you clearly that since a long time ago, from the moment I paid attention to you, I have never provided any assistance, no matter how tragic the encounter, disaster, or the moment of life and death, time and time again. , watching you suffer, get hurt, and die with cold eyes, it will be the same this time."
Evelina seemed worried that I still didn't understand, so she emphasized it again in an indifferent tone.
"I know, thank you. You guys still have a little conscience sometimes." I came back to my senses and said with a smile.
"Wha... what? Aren't you going to say that I'm cold and heartless? You guy, I know, you must be trying to say this to please me and make me change my mind, right? Let me tell you, there is no way!"
Evelina's tone was a little panicked, obviously she didn't expect that even though she said such ruthless words, she was not complained or even treated with anger, and I was even able to sincerely thank her.
"What a suspicious guy." Seeing Evelina's panic, I couldn't help but want to laugh. This guy is quite honest sometimes.
"I know even if you don't tell me that you can only survive by yourself, right? I know that I won't rely on anyone." Looking at my hands, I smiled lightly and said, isn't this how I've walked through this journey? ?
After a moment of silence, Evelina slowly said: "You guys have changed a little bit."
"Are you talking about the me before, or the me [a long time ago]?"
"Prohibited matters."
"Don't say cute words in such a cold tone, you guy, don't you feel disgusted?"
"You're the one who's disgusting. You're so old and you keep talking about cuteness. It's disgusting. You might as well die!"
"You bastard, age has nothing to do with cuteness. Do you want to challenge my beliefs?"
"Faith? Are you talking about that thing in your soul that is like sewer sludge and rotten flesh mixed together, exuding black gas?"
"It's your lower half! A disgusting piece of meat made of toilet maggots and rat tails! It exudes a strong atmosphere of a third-rate country comedian's bad jokes."
"You...you guy, you really dare to say such things..."
"What do you mean, you're a salty fish sword covered with maggots!"
"You ragdoll bear in the sewer!"
"Then you are the Hammer Sword under the cesspool!"
"You are a perverted ragdoll bear bound by turtle shell!"
"You are an unscrupulous comedian!"
…
"Another day has passed like this, so empty." Looking at the setting sun, my bear-like face looked particularly weathered.
"It's not all because of you that you keep chattering away. I'm afraid that you'll be lonely, so I reluctantly accompany you. I should be the one who feels empty." Evelina shouted to catch the thief.
"Whose fault is this! Who is the person who keeps interrupting my practice with his mouth!" I angrily threw the salmon sword on the ground, dragged the fish's tail, and left the training ground step by step.
It was so peaceful, if only it could go on like this forever. I squinted at the sunset as big as a water tank, slowly setting. I stopped and stared blankly, in a daze.
"Hey, Evelina." Suddenly, for some reason, her mouth started to move.
"Suppose the Four Demon Kings are the Four Demon Kings, and the Three Demon Gods are the Three Demon Gods. I am me. There is nothing too complicated in it. I am just an ordinary brave man who has been favored by God a little and has some special abilities. Four The Demon King and the Three Demon Gods are just evil people who want to invade the Dark Continent and put everyone in dire straits."
After a pause, I looked at the sunset more intently: "The boundaries between good and evil are clear, just like a simple novel about brave knights. Between justice and evil, you come and go, fighting purely for a goal. That would be a great thing, wouldn’t it?”
Evelina didn't respond for a long time, so I continued: "One day, either I defeat them, the Dark Continent gains peace, and I can live happily with Vilas and the others, or I am defeated by them, The Dark Continent has fallen into chaos again, waiting for a new savior to appear. Evelina, do you think such a plot will happen?"
Evelina still didn't respond.
"Oh, I had a dream last time."
It wasn't until the sunset completely set that I reluctantly came back to my senses, continued to take steps, and looked at the dim training ground where the cold wind was gradually rising.
"I dreamed about the first time I met you and gave you a name. I don't know why, but tears flowed out..."
"After all...it's just a dream, forget about it."
Evelina finally spoke. It was a soft voice that she had never heard before. It had a very warm feeling, as if a mother's hand was caressing the child's head, which calmed me down unconsciously.
"Yeah, it's just a dream..." I murmured to myself. Suddenly, it seemed as if I had really forgotten the dream. The inexplicable sadness was healed and the gaps were sewn up.
But why do I still feel so intensely disappointed? It was as if something important slipped past my fingertips and disappeared. I didn’t have time, I didn’t dare to reach out and grab it...
. . . RS
