The Chinese people believe that when a fox dies, it will return to its roots. Kai was also born in a relatively traditional family in his last life. He attaches great importance to this, just like before, he would go back to his hometown every New Year no matter what. Even if he no longer has any relatives in his hometown, if he doesn't do this, he will always feel that something is missing.
It was the same after he came to this world. He was an adult with a complete outlook on life, so even though his parents and relatives in this life were very kind to Kai, Kai was not a real child after all, and he was always a little alienated from them. He is afraid that if he really accepts his relatives in this life, he will forget his relatives and friends in another world. Although he wasn't sure if this would really happen, there was always this thorn in his heart.
Especially when Kai's golden finger awakens, Kai's desire to go home becomes stronger and stronger. Speaking of golden fingers, Kai didn't know where they came from. In short, when he first hunted with King Uther when he was ten years old, and after he independently killed a half-grown wild boar, his golden fingers awakened.
Kai's ability is very special and even a little evil. At the beginning, Kai was even very repelled by it.
Kai's ability is very simple, it is 'experience for killing people'. Kai is not sure whether his description is accurate.
But after he killed the wild boar, he could feel a surge of energy pouring into his body from the wild boar. This energy makes Kai stronger, his body more agile, his mind clearer, his thinking more flexible, and his memory stronger.
At the same time, in my mind, there are also attribute panels that many online games have. The panel is simple, with just a few lines of text. There are three attributes: strength, agility, and spirit. and an energy bar. Those three attributes are easy to understand. Basically, anyone who has played some online games or even read some similar novels can understand them.
What really scared Kai was the energy bar.
Every time Kai kills a creature, the energy bar will grow a little. When the energy bar is full, Kai will get a point, which can be added to the three attributes.
Moreover, Kai's ability can capture different amounts of energy for different objects. Generally speaking, the rules it follows are related to two things. One is the intelligence of the object Kai kills. The higher the intelligence, the more energy Kai can plunder.
So humans became one of Kai's best prey.
The second type is strength. Whether it is an animal, monster or human being, the stronger the strength, the more energy it can plunder.
At the same time, this ability also robs the slain subject of its abilities. However, this depends on the probability, which is a bit like the skill book for killing monsters and exploding equipment. Generally speaking, the explosion rate is very low, and many abilities are of no use to Kai, or even cannot be learned at all. Kai can choose some of these abilities as his own, and can use power points to enhance them.
This golden finger gave Kai a very bad feeling at first, because all these abilities encouraged Kai to kill.
But Kai soon adjusted his mentality. He was once a soldier, and later became a policeman. His psychological quality is absolutely excellent. He quickly figured out that this golden finger was, to put it bluntly, a weapon. Weapons are never scary. They have no good or evil. The only person who is scary is the person who uses the weapon.
Kai's experience in his previous life gave him enough confidence to use this 'weapon' rationally.
After adjusting his mentality, Kai began to view his abilities more calmly, and then he saw the hope of returning home from this ability! With this golden finger, it means that he has the capital to go home!
So he started planning his return home since he was thirteen years old.
First of all, magic and witchcraft are his first choice. After all, no matter how you look at it, his time traveling is definitely a supernatural event, so using supernatural power to solve it is undoubtedly the best way.
Unfortunately, King Uther has been vigorously cracking down on witchcraft and magic since Arthur was born, causing witchcraft and magic to become extinct in Camelot. Even if Kay wanted to learn it, there was no place to learn it. So Kai had no choice but to change his plan and he had to leave Camelot.
He trained hard and strengthened himself in preparation for leaving Camelot. Finally, at the age of eighteen, he defeated knights from all over the world in the knight competition and became the champion knight. He proved his ability, and then at the enfeoffment ceremony, he made a request to travel.
Although King Uther was very reluctant to let Kai go, and forced Kai to be grounded. But Kai is really similar to King Uther in some aspects. At least they are just as stubborn. Finally one night, Kai, who was banned by King Uther, left a letter and ran away.
In the letters left behind, Kai did not say that he wanted to go home, but said that he wanted to travel around the world, and stayed for ten years as a consolation.
Kai believed that ten years should be enough time for him to find the answer. If he could go back, then this ten-year agreement would be just a comfort, allowing King Uther and the others to have time to accept the fact that he would never come back.
If I can't go back... ten years is definitely enough.
Then came Kay's decade of traveling the world.
During these ten years, Kai traveled around the world...
This is not very accurate. Kai's footprints have not gone that far. He has only traveled in Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa in the past ten years.
But in these places, Kai met many people and things, many of which were bizarre. It was also these experiences that caused Kai to suffer a very serious blow.
He was sure that the world he was in now was not the same as the original world at all!
For example, when he met Asgardians in Northern Europe, Kai didn't pay much attention at first. It wasn't until he wandered around Asia Minor and returned to Asgard that Kai probably guessed who he met.
Or rather God...
Kai was not very familiar with Norse mythology before, but he had at least seen Marvel’s Thor movie! We also know that frost giants, fire giants, dwarves, and Asgard are elements of Norse mythology! Combined with his own experiences in Asia Minor, it is really not difficult to guess.
Although he did not meet Odin, let alone Thor, the combination of many things can basically confirm that Asgard is the prototype of Norse mythology. Later, he thought about it and understood that it was normal for him not to meet Odin and Thor, because although he was not sure what era he was in, it should be BC.
Kay has not yet discovered the Jewish people in the Middle East...which means that it was very early before the birth of Jesus...so there is nothing wrong in saying BC.
Thinking about it this way, it is quite normal that Odin was not born during this period. By the way, speaking of this, there is another interesting fact. When Kai returned to Northern Europe from Asia Minor, he stopped by to visit his friend, Bli, the King of Asgard.
Bulli was not there at the time, and it was Bulli's son Baoer who received him. At that time, Kai accidentally let it slip and asked if there was a child in Asgard named Odin...
Bao Er was very honest. He really helped Kate search around and found that there was no child named Odin. Bao Er was curious as to why Kai wanted to find a child named Odin. Naturally, Kai could only make nonsense, saying that he had heard somewhere that a child named Odin would do great things in the future.
Bao Er really believed this statement, so he decided to name his first child Odin...
So the name of the future King of the Gods was determined.
But Kai was already numb at that time, so he wasn't very excited.
Could he tell Bao Er that he not only met the legendary Olympus gods in the east, but also accidentally cheated on Zeus? In the more distant Sumer area, he met the legendary Gilgamesh, and together with this first heroic king of mankind, he fought a battle with the gods of ancient Egypt?
All in all, it was precisely because of these weird and bizarre experiences that Kai completely understood that this world was completely different from his original world. At least in his world, the above-mentioned people he met were all mythical figures!
Before, Kai traveled through time and met King Uther and King Arthur, which can be said to be a historical misunderstanding. After all, in the world of his previous life, whether Arthur existed or not was doubtful and could not exist. Maybe he really existed?
But when those mythical characters stood in front of Kai alive, it was easy to draw the conclusion.
Before, Kai always thought that he only needed to travel through time and return to the future, but now it seems that he not only has to travel through time, but maybe even the entire world.
However, Kai did not give up. After finishing his trip to Asia Minor, he decided to continue to the East. After all, no matter what, it is the place closest to home. But the next blow was even greater.
Kai, Gilgamesh, Enkidu and others set out for the east together. As a result, only Kai and Gilgamesh came back, while Enkidu and all the accompanying soldiers died. On the road leading to the east, there are countless monsters and horrific disasters caused by countless mysterious forces. It was pure luck that Kai and Gilgamesh came back alive.
The road 'home' is completely cut off!
…
Thinking about all this, Kai drank a bottle of wine without realizing it. Just when Kai was about to turn around and get another bottle of wine, a cloak was draped over Kai.
It turned out to be Morgana, and she hadn't been sleeping. She was very happy tonight, really happy, so she was too excited to sleep. Then he stumbles upon Kai drinking on the terrace. Seeing that he was still drinking outside so late, Morgana was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she found a cloak and put it on Kai.
Kai had been immersed in his own world just now and didn't notice Morgana's arrival at all.
"It's so late, don't drink...it's not good for your health." Although Kai's behavior tonight almost made the relationship between the two clear, Morgana was still a little shy at the moment.
Kai looked at the beautiful Morgana, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. In his previous life, he was just a small policeman with little money, and his work was busy and dangerous. It was really hard for a good girl to like him. Now that there is such a beautiful girl who is passionately devoted to him, what else can he do to be pretentious?
Thinking of this, Kai smiled and at the same time buried his longing for his hometown deepest in his heart. Since you can't go back, let's live a good life here...probably.
