Zhou Jinru had a dream, a ridiculous dream.
He sat at the dining table and watched TV boredly. The woman with long black hair brought the food. They ate together, talked about their recent work, and complained about people and things they couldn't understand.
He couldn't remember the woman's name, only that her code name was Priestess.
The priestess said let's get married, but he didn't agree. As for why, there was another thing hidden in his heart.
"You have a work permit, a driver's license, a military permit, a party membership permit, a legal firearms use permit, and an extraordinary ability certificate. What's the matter with another marriage certificate?"
It seemed like a joke, but it concealed the sadness of the priestess.
"Wait a little longer until I come back from my work report."
He wanted to do a drag trick, but the priestess couldn't do anything to him.
"Forgive me, I'm sorry..."
wake up.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a light-colored ceiling and softness beneath him. He was lying on a bed.
Zhou Jinru moved slightly, and his entire left shoulder was as hard as a stone and very painful. His back and most parts of his body felt uncomfortable.
He was lying in a ward, and his injuries had been carefully treated.
"Where am I?"
His last memory was of leaving the Ursus Icefield, and then he fainted and didn't know anything.
In fact, no matter where you go, it is better than staying there.
The door to the ward was pushed open, and a handsome middle-aged man walked in. Zhou Jinru looked familiar, but he didn't recognize who it was for a while.
"you're awake?"
"Well, where am I?"
"Don't worry, you are safe now in Xista's hospital. We have the best medical conditions here and considerable security forces."
Zhou Jinru automatically ignored the implication of the middle-aged man's words and was surprised that he had come to Xista. From the other party's tone, it seemed that the new Xista had not been established yet, which meant that the time was at least 1096 years ago.
"Can I ask, what time is it now?"
"In April 1091, you were in a coma in the hospital for 11 days and finally woke up."
Zhou Jinru understood. He passed through the hole and spanned ten years, from 1081 to 1091.
"Thank you, Mr. Herman. I appreciate it."
The middle-aged man looked surprised: "Do you know who I am?"
Zhou Jinru was embarrassed to say that he just remembered it. If it were Ceylon or Hei, he would have recognized it at a glance.
At this point in time, Ceylon should be about to go to Victoria to study abroad, and the civil war between the Kazdaele Kings is also very close.
"Okay, you can continue to rest. What should I call you next time?"
Faced with Herman's question, Zhou Jinru said without hesitation: "Thomas Cotman."
Herman was stunned for two seconds: "How about you change it to another one? I have read the book you are talking about. It is a best-selling book by Mr. Auguste of Gaul. It tells the adventure story of the great explorer."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
He couldn't remember many details of what he had experienced nearly a hundred years ago. When the name August was mentioned, he finally recalled something.
During the trip to Londinium in 1080, Mr. Jia once said that he would write his name in a book...
"Mr. Four, let's call it this."
"Four? Okay, Mr. Four, I'll see you later."
Hermann accepted the name calmly, stood up and left, and the ward became quiet again.
"It's been almost a hundred years, I..."
Zhou Jinru slowly closed his eyes.
…
In early June of 1091, the sun was blazing in Siesta, and the high temperature made the seaside a popular tourist spot. There was an endless stream of tourists coming to Siesta for vacation.
Zhou Jinru was discharged from the hospital.
His injury healed very quickly, and he fully recovered within two months. Even the doctor in charge called him a physiological miracle, because with such an injury, a normal person would have to lie down for at least half a year.
"...That's basically what it was, I needed a job."
During the encounter in the Sami Icefield in 1081, he lost everything. If he went back now, he might not be able to get it back. In other words, when he arrived at Siesta, he was in debt.
Hermann was not surprised by this request; it could even be said that he had expected it.
"Mr. Fourth, you have just recovered from your injury. There is no need to rush to find a job. We can discuss the medical expenses later."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Herman. I will repay the money. I have been lying down for a long time. A new job can help my body and spirit recover faster."
"Well, in that case, I do have one thing that needs a skilled master to do. Mr. Fourth, are you familiar with Victoria?"
Zhou Jinru thought for a while, it depends on the aspect. If it was some remote city, he would be blind and didn't know anything. If it was Londinium, he was relatively familiar with it.
"I only know a certain amount about Londinium."
Herman crossed his arms and said happily: "That would be better. Go to Londinium and there will be someone to meet you at the Twilight Bar in the West City District."
Two familiar place names came to his ears, and Zhou Jinru wanted to laugh a little. After going around in a big circle, he actually returned there again.
"good."
Watching Mr. Fourth leave the office, Herman looked deeply.
He couldn't completely trust this strange man, but every time he saw his eyes, the look on his young face was already withered.
This will happen only after experiencing a major blow and the inner spiritual energy has been severely damaged.
Although he is still active, he is actually dying.
It was obvious that this man just wanted to find something to do to distract himself from the things hidden deep in his heart.
In this case, give him something to do.
As for medical expenses, they are not important to Herman, who lives in a prosperous land city.
…
Zhou Jinru had nothing to pack. All his luggage was bought new and he also received some money in advance from Herman.
He was wondering what he would do when he arrived in Londinium, whether to revisit his old place or remember the past.
"Um, can I come in?"
A soft voice sounded from behind him.
Looking back, I saw Ceylan with long hair hanging loose, standing at the door, looking cautiously into the room.
"Come in, Miss Ceylon."
"Mr. Four, I heard that you are going to Londinium, right?"
The only one who knows about this is Herman. Where did you hear about it?
Zhou Jinru could only nod: "Yes, the car is for this afternoon."
"Then, if you see Hei, can you help me give this to her?"
"I haven't really met Miss Hei yet, is this appropriate?"
Ceylan said seriously: "Dad said you are trustworthy. Although he sometimes goes too far, he is still very good at judging people. I believe in his vision and my own decision."
