After seeing Harry off, Peter entered a pharmacy.

He bought some medicine for fever and cold.

The development of medicine in this world has benefited from the industrialization of magic. There is already the prototype of modern medicine, and treating ordinary cold syndrome is not a problem.

In Peter's memory, the medical level of the game was still at the stage of relying on magic sticks, and blood replenishment relied entirely on elemental bottles. The broken bottle seemed to have been opened, and it was like a sip of death and bones. It was nostalgic.

Although medicine has reached the level of the first half of the twentieth century, it is still as expensive as it was in the Middle Ages. Three pills cost 18 silver coins, which is equivalent to nearly half a month's income of an ordinary person.

After buying the medicine, Peter walked along the street and found a restaurant with a high-end decoration.

He packed two loaves of buttered bread and two portions of crock pot beef, one of which had two extra eggs.

It was getting late, and Peter walked back to the hotel with medicine and dinner in hand.

There is more than one moon at night in this world.

Three bright moons are distributed in a triangle, countless stars, large and small, hover in the vast night, and the mysterious and bright stars light up the sky.

Under the crimson nebulae, the azure aurora stands like a link, dyeing the remaining clouds on the horizon into a pink-purple gradient.

Constellations, shooting stars, large and hazy stars, the entire starry sky is like an extremely magnificent dream picture, interpreting the romance of the universe.

Peter likes this sky very much. It is different from the darkness of the earth after it is polluted by light. It makes people feel that the world is so vast and boundless.

Lin Lin was still asleep when he returned to the room.

Peter lit the gas lamp and found that little Loli's condition had improved a lot.

There was color in his face and his breathing became even.

The expression was finally no longer painful, like a sleeping beautiful girl.

I touched my forehead and saw that it was still hot, but it was only a low fever, so it shouldn't be a serious problem.

Peter put the crock pot of beef with eggs on the bedside and ate another portion himself.

It tastes good. In addition to beef, there are cheese, potatoes, and a spice that I have never tasted in the Northern Continent. The taste is similar to Russian beet, and the seasoning is quite appropriate. It is worthy of its price of two silver coins and six pence a portion.

After eating, Peter spread the map on the table and began to mark it.

The Kingdom of Roo where I am, the Philippe Empire where the Youmu Church is located, and Letania where the Demon King appears...

Letania is separated from Roao by an entire continent.

If the Demon King is not thinking about him, he should be able to stay here with peace of mind in the short to medium term.

After all, the devil wants to attack, and there are countries along the way blocking it, so it's not a big problem.

After chatting with Harry today, Peter gained more information than he had in the past three years combined.

This world's medicine, steam technology, financial forms, culture, and even some inexplicable abstract products, such as Hogwarts, Batman, and the idol culture popular in the southeastern continent...

I'm afraid it's not a mod.

Rather, it was a product born under the influence of people on Earth.

Peter had a bold guess.

If I really am a brave...

So, are the eleven brave men before me all like me, coming from the earth and players of [Beep] God 2?

If this is the case, then all the strange phenomena in this world will make sense.

Rather than saying it is a different world in an abstract game, it is better to say that it is a different world that has been changed by abstract time travellers.

Suppose that the Cataclysm Era is ended by some kind of great force. From then on, every time the Demon King is born, a player who is proficient in the game will come to the world...

Peter took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel his heart surge.

So, this also means that it is my turn to amaze the world...

Wait, where is my Immortal King Soul and Command Seals?

Every hero before him had conspicuous command spell tattoos and terrifying immortality.

For example, the Eighth Hero, with his withdrawn personality, did not even cooperate with the human coalition. He defeated the entire demon king's army by himself. Among the thousands of soldiers, he relied on infinite resurrection to kill the demon king.

When Harry introduced him, it was as if he was judging Superman.

But apart from immortality, command spells and super personal strength, the brave men of the past seem to have no golden finger-like abilities, but they have a system...

Maybe they hid it well.

Peter had a reasonable guess that his Immortal King Soul and Command Seals wouldn't have been replaced by this useless system, right?

Gan Li Niang, others relied on their immortal body and good brother to fight alone, but I was the only one who ran in front of the devil:

"Little sister, would you like to have a fortune telling?"

"Oh, you will become a great person in the future!"

"What kind of thing? Of course it's my feces—"

byd, can teasing someone make the devil surrender or what?

Thinking of the Demon King, Peter suddenly remembered something.

With a wave of his hand, a simple lantern appeared on the table.

This is the reward obtained by divination for Demon Lord Dia.

Unmarked lantern.

The lantern is simple in style. The lamp body is made of a piece of gray glass. The lamp body is framed by a silver-textured lampshade. The surface is covered with exquisite and complex Chinese patterns.

There is a rusty nameplate inlaid at the bottom of the lantern, and a line of weird and twisted decayed text is engraved on the nameplate. Just looking at it gives people a sense of madness, as if they are looking at something ominous.

Throwing away the nameplate, the exquisite carving skills make the lantern like a work of art with great ornamental value.

[Untitled lantern: Symbolizing a long, insignificant time. This is the message that the girl carrying the violin is about to walk under the tree. The evidence of the fire thief's crime was also a miracle that allowed the dying god to forgive the past. 】

["Ah, only darkness can dispel the light, and it must be able to comfort your loneliness."]

What a riddle.

Peter fiddled with it, but the lantern did not move.

Two days ago, he held this lantern and studied it all afternoon, but he couldn't understand it.

I don't know what special function it has, nor how to light it up.

In Peter's impression, there is no such prop in the game.

He also tried to let the system recycle it, but the recycling price given by the system was 0.

In other words, this piece of shit is not worth even 1 soul shaving, but it is placed alongside Gungnir's gun for him to draw...

System, your bullshit talent.

Peter waved and put the lantern away, intending to study it later.

The props rewarded by the system can be summoned or withdrawn at Peter's will, but other things cannot be summoned.

This feature is somewhat useful, but not much.

When Peter saw that it was still early, he took the map and went downstairs.

After catching the cat lady who was about to get off work and pestering her to teach him the names of all the countries on the map, Peter made pronunciation marks, took them back to his room and began to recite them one by one.

Get rid of illiteracy, start today!

The cat lady expressed her concern.

After he had memorized more than a hundred countries on the map, it was almost time to go to bed.

As a modern person, although Peter is not mysophobic, he will take a shower every day as long as he has the conditions, no matter how cold the weather is.

Trivia: Peter is an Uzi fan.

After taking a shower, Peter put on a pair of underpants and went to bed. He and his wife were on one side and the quilt was enough to cover him.

Peter slept naked because he had enough health and his body was damaged, but Lin slept naked simply because he had no clothes to wear.

I forgot to buy her two sets of clothes this afternoon. The silk skirt was ruined when it was soaked in water, and the underwear was still hanging out...

Thinking that she was a patient, Peter still got up and covered her with the quilt.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lin was looking at him with big eyes blinking.

"you're awake?"

She said a subtle "hmm".

Peter didn't bother to care about her, so he covered her with quilt and went back to sleep.

"If you're hungry, there's food on the bedside table. The medicine is on the table, two pills a day. Your clothes won't last for two days. If you don't like it, you can wear mine. If you don't, you don't have to wear it."

After that, he added: "I have to work tomorrow, so don't disturb me."

It's been a long time.

"...Peter."

Peter ignored her.

"Peter!"

He opened his eyes helplessly,

"What are you doing?"

"Are you sent by my father to save me...I know he will be fine, right?"

Lin Lin's voice was very soft, but full of hope.

"wrong."

"...Then how do you know that my father is a duke?"

"I can do divination, and I can figure it out with just a pinch of my fingers."

After a long time,

"Actually, I knew you were coming when I was lying on the chair... Why did you want to save me?"

"Because when I was your age, I was singing and learning from Lei Feng~a good role model~...Don't ask, I will regret it if you ask again."

Lin Lin looked at the back of Peter's head, blinking.

"Peter, you know what? When I was a kid, my mom..."

"Stop, stop, don't do this."

He was sleeping impatiently and spoke quickly and urgently:

"Your mother passed away a long time ago. People around you are treating you badly. Your father was also arrested by the king for rebellion. No one treats you as well as me, right? But pull it down, if you don't still owe me. ....."

A charming touch suddenly came up to him, interrupting his words.

The girl pressed onto his waist, facing the moonlight, everything was revealed.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

Her eyes were bright, staring straight at him.

The crimson cheeks were not caused by fever or shyness.

Peter was silent for a long time.

Finally, he reached out and pushed her away, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"I'm not interested in the flat carrot, so I'll just stay here."

Lin Lin covered his head with the quilt, feeling depressed.

"In Bavaria, this lady is ready to get married..."

"Shut up, if you keep disturbing me in my sleep, I'll throw you into the spotlight of those drunkards."

"oh..."

Lin Lin is pitiful, like a little doormat.
