This journey was smooth, of course, the main reason was that everyone in the entire city lord's mansion had been completely controlled by Atalona's life seeds. In this way, Zhou Li and his party openly opened the door of the City Lord's Mansion and walked into this seemingly very luxurious City Lord's Mansion.
However, the moment Zhou Li stepped into the city lord's mansion, an indescribable sense of vigilance filled his nerves. Before he could speak, Atalona on the side directly held her hand with one hand, and the tough green barrier quickly protected everyone. The moment the barrier appeared, there was the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air above Zhou Li's head.
Buzz~~
Raising his head and looking at the long sword that shone with cold light, Zhou Li squinted his eyes, as if he noticed something. He stretched out his hand, and the moment the power of disaster appeared, Atalona also understood and removed the barrier. Without any pause, the power of disaster surged out and wrapped the long sword in it as the life barrier disappeared.
fall.
Zhou Li pressed down his right hand slightly, and the long sword was directly handed into his hand by the force of disaster. There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, but Zhou Li ignored it. Instead, he lowered his head and began to study the long sword in his hand.
The sound of metal interlacing sounded, and Torea appeared beside Zhou Li like a ghost. The spear wrapped in lightning shredded a shower of arrows, and with the traces drawn by scarlet eyes in mid-air, Torea's figure disappeared from everyone's sight. When she reappeared, Torea was holding a girl in a skirt in her right hand and walked out slowly.
"She did it."
There was no thought of mercy, or in other words, for Torea, she didn't even know what mercy was. After wrapping the girl with a rope condensed with magic energy, Torea frowned and casually threw the tied girl in front of Zhou Li.
"And since I came to this junction, my magic energy reserves have become even scarcer."
As if thinking of something, Torea added. If it were on other continents, Torea wouldn't have to wait for the opportunity to find this attacker just now, because she could have the assistance of magic energy. But here, Torrea felt that the magic energy in her body had reached an outrageous level, and could even be said to be almost nonexistent. Just the small act of restraint brought a lot of pressure to her.
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded. He also discovered this, so he only used the power of disaster. After finishing his conversation with Torea, Zhou Li looked at the muddy girl at his feet. Looking at the luxurious skirt on the opponent's body, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Atalona aside and teased: "Your strength is a bit ridiculous for stretching your hips. All ladies like this have become a fish in the net. You want to Why don’t you think about it?”
"The structure of her life is very strange."
Atalona ignored Zhou Li's taunting. She stepped forward, stretched out her hand and lifted up the little girl's stubborn face. Looking at this delicate and tender face, Atalona narrowed her eyes slightly and said to the little girl in front of her with great interest: "You don't have magic power?"
"Bad guy!"
The little girl puffed up her face like a puffer fish, as if she wanted to use this movement to break away from Atalona's hand. But when she tried it, she knew she was completely restrained. So she just cursed and stopped talking.
"The number of bones is less than that of ordinary people, the density of muscles is higher, and the magic talent is very good but there is no room for magic energy. The connection between the soul and the body is too close to resonate with the elements..."
Atalona didn't care at all about the little girl's resistance, but used her life force to completely explore the other person's body structure. After a moment, Atalona stood up and looked at Zhou Li aside, with a strange smile on her face.
"I have good news for you, Zhou Li."
Looking at Zhou Li, who had a hint of confusion on his face, Atalona said with a plain smile: "You have a fellow countryman."
"ah?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head. He was about to export some negative language and culture to Atalona, and then he realized what Atalona meant.
"You mean..."
Zhou Li looked at Atalona, his eyes shining with light.
"That's right."
Nodding, Atalona glanced at the little girl with a half-smiling expression and said, "She comes from the same place as you. Based on the traces of magic energy on her body, she should have just arrived not long ago."
If it were anyone else, they might not understand what riddles these two people were playing. However, every one of the people present now knows about time travel. Immediately, Eluma on the side fixed his gaze on the girl, and opened his red lips in slight surprise. Torea's expression was as indifferent as ever, but the surprise in her eyes still betrayed her heart.
As for Zhou Li...
"Odd changes to even."
Squatting in front of the girl, Zhou Li spoke out this time-traveler slogan with a solemn expression, as if he had agreed upon it. After hearing this sentence, the girl was stunned as expected, and then she said with the same solemn face:
"Acid is refractory to alkali."
?
Zhou Linao vividly imagined using the power of disaster to create a question mark.
"Ah hey, I'm a chemistry major, and this is an electrolyte solution."
The girl smiled a little silly, but it was her clear and silly eyes and the knowledge still retained in her mind that made Zhou Li certain that she was a college student who had not experienced much in the world.
What a joke, Zhou Li even forgot trigonometric functions after graduation.
"No wonder."
Zhou Li waved his hand and the girl's restraints were released. Looking at the girl dusting herself off in front of him, and then standing in front of him with an excited face, Zhou Li asked, "My name is Ding Zhen, what's your name?"
?
Visible to the naked eye, a big question mark appeared on the girl's forehead. After a moment of silence, she stretched her little head slightly and said hesitantly: "My name is...Snow Leopard?"
Okay, not only is he definitely a time traveler, he should also be a real fellow countryman.
Zhou Li felt relieved after confirming that the girl in front of him could handle a joke that only his real fellow countryman could understand. He could also see that the other party had no desire to attack after learning his identity. Of course, Zhou Li still didn't let down his guard. After all, it was not uncommon for a fellow countryman to stab him in the back.
but···
Looking at the clear stupid smile of the girl in front of him, Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. But fortunately, contemporary college students are capable of awkward chatting, especially unconscious chatting.
"This big brother, my name is An Qing. I came from time travel in 2023."
As if aware that the other party was not very good at talking, the girl named An Qing suppressed the awkward atmosphere and introduced herself. And Zhou Li did not leave this fellow in place. He thought for a while and said, "My name is Zhou Li. The specific year of time travel should be less than a year earlier than yours."
"Ah, that's right."
An Qing suddenly understood. Then she looked at Atalona and others aside and asked curiously: "Are you all cultivators of immortality?"
"Immortal cultivator?"
After hearing this strange yet kind name, Zhou Li shook his head first, then he looked at the long sword in his hand and asked An Qing in front of him, "Why do you ask that?"
"well?"
An Qing was stunned for a moment, her big eyes full of doubts, "Isn't this the world of cultivating immortals?"
"Um?"
Zhou Li was also stunned, and then he seemed to think of something. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Can you describe to me how you traveled through time?"
"Ah, that's no problem."
An Qing obviously lost her vigilance after learning Zhou Li's identity. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said to Zhou Li: "But brother Zhou Li, after I traveled through time, I was the daughter of the city lord. Can we Undo the spells on the guards around you? I'll tell you that you are my honored guests, and they will naturally invite you in."
"good."
Zhou Li didn't talk nonsense. After all, Atalona took control of these guards in order to enter the city lord's palace without harming people's lives. It didn't mean that they were afraid of not being able to defeat these guards. It could be said that Atalona was controlling them to protect them. After all, if there was a fight, the lives injured would probably be those of the guards.
After the discussion, Zhou Li and others arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with An Qing. With Atalona's snap of her fingers, the eyes of the originally confused guards suddenly regained their clarity, as if nothing had happened. They all stood in place and patrolled diligently. At this moment, a guard in front of him saw An Qing in a skirt.
"Miss, why are you out?"
He quickly stepped forward, put away the long sword in his hand, lowered his head and said to An Qing in front of him: "The city lord recently issued an order that everyone in the mansion should go out less often. You have gone out too many times recently, and I am not easy to deal with. The Lord of the City is here to send you a message."
"Ah, Brother Li, it's okay. I'll just explain it to my father."
Obviously, even in a scenario like traveling through time and becoming the daughter of a city lord, the politeness engraved in the bones of a college student is still lingering. After subconsciously taking the blame back, An Qing said to the guards in front of her: "These are my close friends, and they came to visit me through here today. I went out just to welcome them, it's okay."
"ah."
The guard was stunned for a moment. In his memory, this eldest lady, who had an eccentric temperament but was very nice to her servants, didn't seem to have many friends, but these few people gave people a feeling of indescribable luxury in terms of appearance and clothing. Especially the tall green-haired woman. Even though the guards had seen all kinds of people in the City Lord's Mansion, they had never seen such a detached woman.
There should be no problem.
After comforting himself in his heart, the guard looked at An Qing. Without much hesitation, he turned sideways and made an invitation gesture, "Then please invite all distinguished guests to come into the house. I'll go tell the officials and let him prepare." Tea."
"no, I'm fine."
Hearing this, An Qing quickly shook her head, her bun-like bun swaying with the movement, and Eluma beside her also shook her head subconsciously. She showed a bright smile and said to the guard: "My friends and I don't like drinking tea very much, so there is no need for Grandpa Sun to prepare tea."
"Ah...Okay."
Not disobeying the order of his eldest lady, but with some hesitation, the guards let everyone in.
This time, Zhou Li and others were in the mood to take a closer look at the City Lord's Mansion. After taking a closer look, everyone discovered that the City Lord's Mansion, which looked luxurious on the outside, was very simple on the inside. Of course, it is simple but not crude.
In this mansion, which occupies a huge area, there are no corridors or jade carvings of stone animals. In addition to an exquisite and cozy small garden, the entire front yard is composed of various vegetable plots and sheds. The vegetable field is planted with bracken, a home-cooked vegetable from Dongfang Santing, as well as some gourds and wild rice. In the small shed, there are some wood and unformed wooden utensils, stacked together in an orderly but slightly messy manner.
"My father in this life is the lord of this city, but secretly he loves the craft of carpentry very much. After returning home, he always gets into the house and carves wood, which lasts all night. Later, my mother couldn't bear it anymore. , so he put his wood outside so that he could breathe fresh air, and then he could come back to sleep voluntarily after turning off the lights in the middle of the night.”
An Qing seemed to have been in this world for a long time, and she knew the entire courtyard very well. Of course, it can be seen that she is very satisfied with her home in this world. Ever since she entered the courtyard, there has always been a subconscious smile on her delicate and childish cheeks.
After passing through the courtyard, Zhou Li and his party also arrived at An Qing's house. An Qing's house cannot be said to be exactly the same as the houses of ladies in costume dramas, it can only be said to be completely unrelated. The huge wooden bookshelf was filled with all kinds of books, and the obviously remodeled table nearby was covered with bottles and jars, and some common things or things Zhou Li had never seen were packed inside. Even the medium-sized wooden bed was piled with at least average books.
"Oh~~ I have a bad habit. The room is a bit messy. I'm sorry."
After sticking out her tongue, the girl had an apologetic expression on her face. After pulling out a few chairs from the corner and placing them at the table, everyone sat down in their seats one after another.
"Let me introduce myself again."
After seeing everyone sit down, the girl An Qing cleared her throat and said, "My name is An Qing, An Qingtian's Qing."
"These are my personal hobbies."
Following Eluma's curious gaze and looking at the bottles and jars on her table, An Qing showed a faint smile and said to everyone: "I studied chemistry in my last life, so after traveling through time, I discovered that there are things in this world. There are many materials that are similar to the earth but different in nature, so I am more interested in them. When I grow up, I always like to collect these elements.”
"No wonder."
Zhou Li nodded. If his status as a warrior hadn't oppressed him, as a literature lover, he might have crazily copied the public. Therefore, he could also feel empathy for the girl in front of him. But now, he still has an important question to ask the other party.
"An Qing, what happened to your time travel?"
