In fact, Zhou Li never understood why the gods chose him. fan
He is neither a special forces king nor a member of any urban dragon group. His IQ is not extraordinary, he is just an ordinary liberal arts graduate student. He has never experienced any adventure, and even when he was a child, the maximum denomination he won in the lottery was only five yuan.
Zhou Li didn't understand why he had to be chosen.
He felt that his brain was a little hazy, and this inexplicable thought kept wandering in his heart. At this time, he had already boarded the carriage heading to Tariq, while Eluma and Tiya kept talking to the side. The two chatted happily and seemed to have many common topics.
Zhou Li did not participate, he just stared at the palm of his hand with some fascination. A year ago, these hands were still used to type on the keyboard. However, since coming to this world, these originally pale and slender hands have been covered with calluses and have many minor wounds.
To be honest, Zhou Li always felt that he had a big heart, at least a little bigger than normal people. Otherwise, if another person suddenly traveled to a different world, the gods would inexplicably give him a mission to save the world and then disappear. There is no system and no grandfather, only a goddess who runs very fast and can milk people by her side.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Li had some illusions about his life in another world. After all, that young man didn't have any dreams of holding up a holy sword to punish evil and promote good. However, what he didn't expect was that this world would be so realistic.
Money, everything requires money, but he has no money. fan
He still remembered that when he was fighting monsters for the first time, his ankle was eroded by the venomous slime due to his negligence. The poisonous slime was not very toxic at that time, but the severe pain and itching in his buttocks made Zhou Li faint for a time and he was almost killed by the slime.
If Eluma hadn't run fast enough, Zhou Li might really have become a brave man who was killed by a slime just after leaving the novice village, which is considered a disgrace in the world.
Then, he learned that the antidote of the Brave Guild required ten silver coins. The ten silver coins at that time were a huge sum of money for Zhou Li. After all, the gods only gave him a book and a goddess, and nothing else. At that time, Zhou Li and Eluma only had six silver coins on their bodies, and they still had to pay hotel room fees.
At that time, Zhou Li wanted to die. Whoever this brave man loved would be taken seriously. But what he didn't expect was that the cold-looking and silent goddess blocked her platinum tiara and a sapphire at a very low price, and then purchased the antidote and gave it to Zhou Li.
Later, Zhou Li learned that the gem and headdress were the relics of the goddess's dead father and were of great commemorative value. Therefore, Zhou Li felt very guilty for a time. If it had not been for his negligence, he might not have asked Eluma to pay such a valuable thing.
After that, Zhou Li began to constantly train himself and hone his sword skills. Perhaps it was the blessing of the gods, or perhaps Zhou Li's hard work reached a critical level. Soon, Zhou Li's strength improved by leaps and bounds. In just a few months, he went from an ordinary person who could hardly lift a sword to a silver level one. Professional.
However, only Zhou Li himself knew the pain and sorrow behind this. fan
Why is it me?
Zhou Li clenched his hands in confusion, then weakly let go. He still doesn't understand why there are so many elites and scholars on the earth, but they choose an ordinary person who is not outstanding in all aspects to save the world.
Do all the gods in this world have brain problems?
The bumps of the carriage are not too strong, and even if you consider the terrible road conditions in this world, it is even more stable than cars on earth. After all, Tiya was riding in an imperial carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage were wildebeests with the blood of Warcraft from the Three Eastern Courts. There were also many runes on the carriage used to offset power, so Zhou Li was no different. a feeling of.
"Coming."
Tiya's eyes fell on Zhou Li, and she glanced at the books on his waist inadvertently. Then she seemed to be talking specifically to Zhou Li, her tone rose slightly, "Friend, please come and record the battle with me. . Tariq takes the crystal attack case very seriously, so he needs to delay you and this lady for a while. Of course, we will compensate you."
「
Ah..."Fang
When Zhou Li came back to his senses, he responded, nodded and said, "I understand, I will cooperate."
"Thank you very much."
Tia nodded in greeting. As an imperial princess and a captain of the Storm Legion, Tia's observation and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people. So she could easily chat with Eluma, who had read a half-understood book, and could also detect Zhou Li's unusual identity.
Soon, with a pleasant and clear ticking sound, Tiya pressed a switch on the carriage. Then, the carriage window slowly opened, revealing the scenery outside the window.
At first, Zhou Li did not raise his head to look at the scenery outside the window. His mind was still a little confused and he didn't know what he was thinking. But when his peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of the city named Mosk, he was suddenly stunned, and then hurriedly lay down by the window and stared at the city outside the window.
"It's beautiful."
Tiya on the side seemed to be used to such reactions, and explained with a touch of pride: "This is the capital of our Tariq, the glorious city, Mosk." Fan.
Mosk...
He heard Tiya's words in his ears, but Zhou Li only saw this city that overlapped infinitely with his memory.
The boldness brought by the roughness, the elegance in the bones, and the rigor hidden in the wantonness. Fierce and rich colors are swaying freely, and buildings full of tower aesthetics are lined up in rows. Under the majestic sunset, this city called Mosk is like a giant holding a wine glass high and wearing a luxurious armor, making people subconscious Hold your breath.
Light signs, traffic, crowds. With the light of the street lights, the city begins to live slowly as if it is breathing.
It seems...
In Zhou Li's mind, the picture scroll from the Soviet Union slowly unfolded, and the countries and cities he had visited began to slowly overlap with the scene in front of him. Zhou Li suddenly felt that he didn't seem to have traveled through time. All this was a dream he had while studying in Russia. After waking up, I was still in the library, with a cup of overly sweet hot cocoa in my hand, and a thick analysis of Soviet aesthetics in front of me.
However, the light energy runes suspended in mid-air in the perspective, as well as the magic lines and strange magic vehicles visible everywhere, reminded Zhou Li that this was not the earth he was familiar with. Soon, the feeling of déjà vu faded away, leaving Zhou Li looking at the scenery outside the carriage with a sense of loss. fan
Tiya on the side was a little confused. At first, she thought that this young man was shocked by this beautiful and magnificent city like other foreigners. However, she soon discovered that the emotion in the eyes of this taciturn and reserved young man did not seem to be shock.
More like... nostalgia?
Tia was a little confused, but as a soldier, she was not prepared to ask any more questions. At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and a huge building appeared in front of the carriage.
"This is Tariq's People's Palace."
She jumped down from the carriage lightly, and the heavy armor on her body didn't make any sound, which showed Tia's strength. She stretched out her hand and politely helped Eluma off the carriage, and then said to Zhou Li: "We will conduct an inquiry at the security office of the People's Palace later. Please don't worry, this is not an inquiry, just a simple inquiry. .”
"I believe you."
For some reason, Zhou Li always felt an inexplicable sense of solidity after entering the city of Mosk. Moreover, the citizens he saw along the way were not emaciated or dying. Their faces were filled with a very luxurious emotion in this world - hope. fan
Therefore, Zhou Li, who had seen the prosperous scenery of the peaceful world, also developed a good impression of this country. He left the carriage and followed Tia's footsteps toward the building.
The People's Palace is very much like a huge palace, but it does not have the luxury and dignity of ordinary palaces. The palace makes thoughtful use of stone sculptures and stained glass, decorating the palace with textures of light and reflection. This kind of structure makes this palace, which should be obviously gorgeous, possess a heavy and simple beauty.
Along the way, Tiya said hello to everyone she passed. It can be seen that this
The beautiful and powerful Knight Princess is very popular in this building. At the same time, through the respectful expressions of those people, Zhou Li also noticed that this lady named Tiya had an extraordinary identity.
Soon, the three of them arrived in a standard room. There was a table in the middle of the room, with rows of seats on either side of the table. The warm lighting and warm room proved that this was indeed not an interrogation as Tia said.
"Hello, you two, I will be conducting the inquiry this time."
The inquirer was not Tia, but an elegant and easy-going man in robes. After entering the room, he sat on a chair holding a book, facing the nervous two people, and said gently: "Please don't be nervous, this is just a normal inquiry, please don't worry."
"You two, please take a seat first." Fan
The man took out a blank document from the side and then made an invitation gesture to the two of them. After adjusting the light to the indicated brightness, Knight Ji sat on the chair and spread the documents in front of her, preparing to record them.
This time's inquiry left an impression on Zhou Li that never faded. He still remembered that during the inquiry, the man named Evan had been using a guiding speech technique, which made him feel a little excited when he was originally confused and hesitant.
He said that the decision Zhou Li made at that time was completely correct, and even if she had made the decision herself, it might not have been so right. And Zhou Li's ability to make a clear judgment in such a crisis proves that his potential is actually great.
The conversation ended quickly, and neither Zhou Li nor Eluma had any reservations. Except for their true identities, everything that can be said has been said to the two people in front of them. Evan's language organization and analysis skills are also very strong. After reorganizing the case, he found the approximate location of the gap in the border and deduced the identity and purpose of the crystal.
This was the first meeting between Zhou Li and Evan. It was very plain, without any twists and turns. As a hero, Zhou Li cannot reveal his identity, while Evan feels no need to reveal his identity.
After the conversation, Evan handed Zhou Li five silver coins as a reward for asking. At the same time, Tiya gave Zhou Li an invitation.
"It's like this. At a patrol point in Nanjing Forest, a soldier recently took leave and is temporarily unable to patrol that territory. Due to some problems, we don't have enough troops right now, so we want to hire some mercenaries to replace this soldier. . I personally feel that you are more suitable for this task, you see..."Fang
Facing Tiya's invitation, Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then after asking about the reward for the task, he resolutely accepted it.
Looking at Zhou Li and Eluma's retreating figures, Evan closed the document in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then said to Tiya beside him: "Little sister, what are you planning?"
"Brother, didn't you see the books on that man's waist?"
Tiya came close to Evan and said eagerly: "I feel that this person should be a young master of that family who came out to practice. After all, such a valuable book dares to be kept on the waist openly."
"Ah."
Evan chuckled, then he stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Tiya's nose, and said half helplessly and half dotingly: "Little sister, are you really stupid for your brother? You can see that the book is a gift from Twelve Quarters , can’t I see it?”
"Hey hey hey." Fan
Tia smiled naively, her original image of a smart and capable female knight gone. "Aren't I just curious? They say the brave is very strong, and I also want to see how strong he can be."
"ah···"
Evan narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The somewhat ordinary face of the young man just now appeared in his mind.
"Let's talk to father about this first."
Standing up, Evan said seriously: "In any case, the twelve-minute gift represents the emergence of the brave, and the brave also means disaster. This matter has little to do with you and me anymore, now it depends on my father How to decide."
"OK."
Tiya was very clear about right and wrong. She said directly without any hesitation or hesitation: "I
Inform the Emperor now. "Fang
"You should send some people to protect you secretly..."
Evan paused mid-sentence, then frowned, shook his head and said, "No, let your people follow you secretly. Don't take action unless you encounter a situation where death is inevitable."
"Are you afraid of overthrowing the talent?"
Facing his sister's question, Evan nodded, shook his head, and said somewhat unspeakably: "No, not really."
"I just feel like the hero this time seems a little weird."
