The mechanism creature "Do'Urden" ran very fast and was very powerful. It pulled the bus carrying thirty or forty people into a blur, and saw the scenery outside the window quickly retreating, stopping and stopping along the way. Stopping, the passengers got up and down, and soon passed through a long street lined with houses on both sides and came to a huge square.
Because he was in the car and had limited vision, Combrona couldn't see how big the square was for the time being, but he at least knew that the car stopped twice in the square, and it was only on the third time that they arrived. The first stop is Central Square North Station.
Do'Urden would announce the name of the station every time he arrived, but he only used abbreviated names. For example, "Central Square North Station" was called "Square North Station". This statement is really strange, but not difficult to understand.
When the bus arrived at the stop, Combrona got off the bus with his still confused wife and came to the same green platform.
After leaving the bus with poor visibility, the central square of Void City suddenly came into his sight.
"It's so big!"
At this moment, Cambroner could only say this sentence.
Yes, it’s so big!
The central square of Void City is really too big!
How big is this square? He is currently standing on the bus stop on the north side of the square. At a glance, the square is the area where he can't see clearly.
Of course, this was also due to Cambroner's short-sightedness, but even so, the hugeness of this square was enough to make him stunned.
Of course, such a huge square cannot be empty. There are many pools, flower beds, and small and medium-sized recreational facilities scattered here. There were many artists performing in the open air, some singing, some reciting, some performing acrobatics, some performing magic... He even saw several extraordinary adventurers performing.
For example, there was a female ranger not far away. She set up several targets about fifty steps away from her, and she shot every arrow on the target without any miss.
Near the target, a swordsman wearing leather armor was practicing swordsmanship. His swordsmanship was not fast, but every sword strike was calm and sharp. Combrona secretly calculated that if he and the opponent were to fight, if he could not gain the advantage through strength, then maybe ten rounds would be his limit.
On the other side of the target, a shirtless barbarian was also performing. His performance method was very rough, that is, he let ordinary tourists hit him with thick wooden sticks. I saw tall men struggling to hold wooden sticks thicker than their arms, and hit him hard one after another. Although they often made him retreat, they did not hurt him at all.
To ordinary people, this scene would probably be just interesting, but Cambroner's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
(God, am I wrong? That should be the special specialty of the barbarian series, 'damage reduction'. If you can practice damage reduction to this point, this person has probably entered a high level. Really? A high-level adventurer actually performs on the streets? My eyes probably need treatment...)
When he saw several performers on the other side, Combrona even wondered if there was something wrong with his brain and he was hallucinating.
Those were several mages who cast at least mid-level spells.
Unlike adventurers in the martial arts direction, spellcasters generally have a prosperous life and stable income. They do not need and cannot go to the streets to perform, especially those mages who have passed the most difficult era of low-level mages and entered the middle class.
Every mid-level mage has at least a net worth equivalent to that of a low-level noble. Many mid-level mage wealth is greater than that of most knights, and may even be close to the level of a baron. Cambroner could never imagine that a baron would perform on the streets - and looking at their expressions, they seemed very happy.
Why is this happening? Shouldn't mid-level mages be building or preparing to build their own magic tower? No matter how poor they are, at least they will have a magic laboratory of their own!
Why would a dignified mid-level mage come out of the laboratory and perform on the streets
"There must be something wrong with this world..." Cambrona muttered in a low voice, no longer bothering to look at anything more, closed his eyes, and leaned weakly on the pillar of the bus stop.
As a resident of the Mystic Tower Federation, the education he received since childhood was that "everything is inferior, only mages are superior." Now he witnessed several respectable mid-level—perhaps even higher than mid-level—mages busking on the streets like down-and-out wandering adventurers. This scene caused a heavy mental blow to him.
Because of the blow, Cambrona seemed to be in a trance when he took the next train to Shenshu Station in the direction of North Square. He walked as if he were stepping on cotton, swaying and unsteady.
If he had been alone, he might have stumbled over. Fortunately, Jane was by his side and cared about him.
With Jane's help, he finally got through the period of dizziness and regained his composure.
"Every place is different. The wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere in the south may be delicacies in the north; the fish that are swarming in the glacial lakes in the north can be sold for a high price in restaurants in the south... If things are like this, how much more should they be people?”
Combrona muttered to himself, slowly regaining his composure.
Of course, this is also due to the green light in the sky.
After getting off the bus at Shenshu Station, the first thing I felt was coolness and comfort.
This cool feeling does not come from the skin, but from the soul. What cools the soul is the green light that fills the sky.
They come from the lush canopy of trees overhead that almost blocks the sky. Not too far ahead, there is a huge tree trunk that requires at least twenty or thirty people holding hands to form a circle around it.
When he saw the giant tree, Combrona's heart seemed to be washed away by clear water. All kinds of chaotic thoughts were washed away, and the whole person completely returned to its usual calm and stability.
He turned to look at his wife. The confusion on her face was gone. Although her eyes were still a little confused, her whole person seemed much more energetic.
"Jane, is this the tree you just felt?" he asked.
"Yes... no..." Jane nodded first, then shook her head, frowning and thinking for a while, then said very uncertainly, "Inside the tree... the things that attract me are inside the tree."
Combrona was stunned for a moment, then took his wife's hand and came to the sacred tree together.
He looked carefully at the thick tree trunk, but couldn't find a single crack in it, let alone a place to hide anything.
"Are you feeling wrong? This tree should be complete." He said.
Jane shook her head vigorously: "No! It's not like that! Inside the tree! There is something inside the tree calling me!"
She suddenly became excited, threw away Combrona's hand, clenched her hands into fists, and slammed them on the tree trunk: "Open! Open it quickly! Open it for me!"
Combrona was startled, hurriedly hugged her arm and dragged her back forcefully. But Jane, who is usually relatively weak, burst out with amazing strength at this moment. Even as a knight, he could not stop her actions. Instead, she threw her hand away and staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground. on the ground.
"Jane! What's wrong with you?!" He shouted in surprise and fear, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, she just suffered some unnecessary influences." Another voice answered him, and the green jellyfish appeared in front of them, stopped Jane with its tentacles, rolled her up, and sent her back to Cambrona around.
Cambrona hurriedly saluted and paid homage to His Majesty the Great Mask of the Void.
"I'm glad you came so quickly." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Her situation is actually very simple, but I really don't know how to explain it to you... Or, I can tell you the truth, but are you really sure? Do you need to know the so-called 'truth'?"
He smiled and looked at Cambrona, whose face was full of surprise, and Jane, who was still trying to move forward and smash open the sacred tree even though she was caught by the tentacles.
"Behind the truth is often extremely heavy. Cambroner, are you mentally prepared to bear that weight?"
Combrona was horrified. He looked at His Majesty the Mask of the Void who was smiling, and then at Jane who seemed to be going crazy and desperately trying to move forward, and fell into deep thought.
He thought for a long time, and finally took a long breath and said, "I have decided not to ask for the truth."
"Who was Jane in the past? What was her origin? What grudges did she have? Or what mission did she carry?... Of course I want to know all of this." He said, "But I know one thing very well. Everything in the past is over after all, and for us, seizing the present and striving for a better future is what is really important.”
"If 'the past' will become a burden to us, let it pass completely. I don't want to ask anything, and I don't want to know anything."
After saying this, he felt relaxed, and the worries that had been weighing heavily on his heart disappeared.
In fact, he has been worried and afraid these years.
Who is his wife? Why did His Majesty the Mask of the Void suddenly come to find me? What did you say again
He didn't understand why, but he knew there must be a shocking secret behind it.
My wife has been in a coma for more than ten years, which probably has something to do with this secret. The legendary mage Master Tuyan suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to help him, probably because of this secret. Even if His Majesty Void Mask came to visit him again and directed him to come to Void City to see this sacred tree, it was probably because of this secret.
What is this secret
Of course he would be curious and of course he wanted to know the secret, but compared to curiosity, he wanted to return to his former stable and peaceful life.
He is just an ordinary mortal who just wants to live an ordinary life. No matter what secrets Jane has, it is not worth destroying the stable life that is about to be regained for it.
For the sake of their stable and happy future, let all secrets go with the wind!
