After talking for a while, the three decided to hit the road.
Bai Yan has found new clues and paths, and they will go to a small island in the easternmost part of the Yenos continent.
The Philosopher's Stone obtained by liquefying souls in the refinery will eventually be sent there, and it is unknown what purpose it will be used for.
"This small island is located on the Silver Sea that separates the continent of Yenos and the continent of Andocher. Well, its location is actually very close to the Elisa Strait."
"Then, it's here. It should be one of the Black Song Islands."
The island is a long way away from New Emperor, and it took even the three of them some time to get there...
Fortunately, the speed of time in this world is completely different from that in Noah's world. It is basically a thousand times different. It doesn't matter even if they stay here for another month or two, or even one or two years.
Along the way, Eve took the initiative to talk to Bai Yan, which reminded Bai Yan of the time when he was with Maryse, and that guy was always the one who took the initiative to talk.
However, Maryse and Eve are completely different.
Well, that's not what I'm talking about...
There is definitely a gap there though!
The difference is of course what they say. Maryse will follow the "hedonist" Bai Yan most of the time, while Eve will either tease or push back. She always seems to want to make "Viscount" Bai Yan angry.
But this is obviously what she wants to get attention. The "Innocent Singer"'s approach in this regard is really like that of a primary school student.
Bai Yan murmured in his heart, you two sisters have reconciled and even reached a promise to share everything... But you didn't ask me if I accepted it at all.
In fact, Bai Yan is not the kind of guy who will be attracted to a beautiful girl just because she looks good, and will accept her regardless of anything else.
He and Eve had no emotional foundation to speak of. If his relationship with Carol really progressed in the future, and Eve stepped in regardless and forced herself into bed, then he would not agree easily...
Should, probably, maybe, maybe not
“…”
In this way, Bai Yan thought wildly all the way, and the three of them finally arrived at the unnamed island.
"I'm so tired. I want to take a rest. I'm really exhausted from traveling these days."
Eve sat down on the beach and looked forward.
This is an island with many rocks and rocks. There are few trees and they are all black, which always makes people feel an unusual and mysterious atmosphere.
"Your physical strength is too weak."
Bai Yan looked at Eve with a smile. She curled her lips and said, "Humph, what's so great? Didn't you rely on the Tower of Babel to become stronger?"
This is true, Bai Yan complained in his heart.
"I am also a member of the Tower of Babel now. Sooner or later I will become strong enough. I can even kill you with a single kick!" She cursed and got angry.
"I can die now, as long as my sister and I join forces."
Carol's face was expressionless and she said something meaningless and irrelevant. Eve was stunned.
Bai Yan wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking but wanted to, and finally decided not to say anything.
This guy no longer has the "wall of heart" trait, but the hidden trait of "sultry" is still there.
"strangeness."
Bai Yan frowned, scanned the island, narrowed his eyes and said, "From the intelligence clues, the Philosopher's Stone accumulated over the years will eventually be sent here, but I don't feel any energy fluctuations at this time."
"This is unreasonable. The energy possessed by the Philosopher's Stone is extremely huge. It can even be said to be incredible power. It is impossible not to feel it at all..."
"there's noise."
At this moment, Carol interrupted Bai Yan's analysis and turned to look around.
Eve also became nervous immediately.
Carol continued: "I heard it, it was the island making a sound."
"Um."
Bai Yan nodded, looked seriously at the bottom of the island, and raised his eyebrows: "I know...it turns out that the island under our feet is alive."
Chapter 481: The world is awake
The island is alive.
Bai Yan and the others didn't understand how it was born, but they all knew in their hearts that the person who created it must have incredible alchemical attainments.
"It's similar to me, but different."
Carol tilted her head slightly. Her body had undergone various modifications, and more than a third of her body was no longer flesh and blood.
And this island is both an island and a living entity.
It is an existence formed by the combination of dead and living things. It is a creation of some kind of alchemy. It may be similar to the construct in principle and has a history of no less than a thousand years.
Bai Yan nodded and said: "It's different, and the difference is actually very big. You were originally a living life... But the island under our feet was originally a dead thing, but it was turned into a living thing. The technical difficulty is much higher. "
It is indeed difficult to transform dead things into living things, but for Bai Yan today, it is actually not something he has never seen before.
After all, "Cyber Tyrant" Amy has created two new races one after another.
The things that extraordinary power can do are all kinds of weird, and any inexplicable situation may happen.
At this moment, there is no unusual movement on this living island, and there seems to be no abnormality... although its existence itself is an abnormality that cannot be underestimated.
Bai Yan smiled slightly and analyzed:
"The Philosopher's Stone that Queen Aurora wants should be on this island, but it's hidden by something... Now it's time to solve the puzzle again."
Well, the puzzle-solving part... But for him who has a "connection", there is actually no puzzle-solving part, only the "revealing" part.
My extraordinary power is not very helpful in frontal combat, but in terms of obtaining intelligence... it is indeed a cheating method.
Bai Yan stretched out his hand and placed it gently on the ground. Silver light appeared in his eyes, and he activated his innate power called "Contact".
In an instant, thousands of information poured into his mind, and he immediately began to distinguish the useful parts of the numerous information, and found a really needed clue in just a few seconds.
"Well, it's right here."
Bai Yan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to Eve, and said in a calm tone: "Take my arm."
"I don't."
Eve refused without hesitation and blinked.
Her tone was as flat and quick as rejecting a Coke with ice, without hesitation.
Bai Yan could only explain: "With your ability, you can't go underground, and Carol's power can't bring you there, so I can only use spells to bring you there."
"Oh well."
Eve sighed, stretched out her hand and grabbed the man's hand.
"Just the arm."
Bai Yan warned him, but Av didn't seem to hear him and still held his hand tightly.
Hmm... Bai Yan somewhat understood Eve's thoughts, and did not use his spiritual power to probe. He looked at Carol not far away.
Carol took the first step and disappeared.
"Thanks."
Eve was silent for a long time, and said with gratitude: "I broke my promise. I have always claimed to be a protector, but I have actually failed to protect my sister at all, and you are Carol's savior."
"Really, thank you very much."
Eve was a little choked up when she said this.
"Carol likes you."
Thump thump thump.
It’s a straight shot, can’t we always maintain a tacit understanding
Bai Yan remained silent and listened silently without saying anything.
"If she likes you, then I am willing to dedicate myself to you." Eve continued, with no dissatisfaction or idealism in her voice.
But Bai Yan frowned and said in a calm tone: "Miss Eve, you are not Carol's accessory or gift. In fact, you two are independent existences with your own personality. Maybe you want Learn to respect yourself.”
Eve's face suddenly turned red and she shouted: "But Carol and I have the same physical and mental feelings. I am holding your hand now, and I can feel her excitement in my heart... Actually, we They can only marry one person!"
What she could say to this point, so clearly, was already her limit!
Indeed, this is too realistic.
Bai Yan just thought about the specific situation and felt that this was indeed an unavoidable problem.
In fact, Bai Yan wants to say a classic quote now.
"I actually have other wings in my heart."
But he always feels that speaking out will make him appear to have low emotional intelligence. Although this is true... But the so-called low emotional intelligence means speaking up about the fact that others don't like it.
So Bai Yan decided not to talk about it for the time being.
In fact, he didn't want to speak clearly at the moment.
Bai Yan knew in his heart how selfish he was and how strong his desire for control and dominance was. Perhaps he was afraid that she would be sad, and he was also afraid that the showdown would cause trouble and affect the "Tower of Babel" game.
But in fact, perhaps it was the bad nature of these human beings that was the main reason why he didn't want to really speak clearly.
Bai Yan understands a cruel fact very well. If he really can only choose one girl... the final candidate will definitely not be Carol!
The cruel part is that Carol may not know this at all.
After all, she only understands one side of herself.
Talking about admiring everyone equally and having 100% love for everyone are all bullshit. Even if you can deceive others, you cannot deceive yourself at all.
If she rejected Carol, she would probably be sad.
But if I reject that girl...even a person like me will be sad.
Bai Yan, who has a flexible moral bottom line, has always been sober in the world. He understands who favors him and who he has thoughts about, and he is even more aware of the greed and despicability deep in his heart.
However, Bai Yan knew one thing in his heart.
In Noah's world, extraordinary people and nobles, both male and female, can legally "open a harem". It can even be said that this is because extraordinary people have a greater chance of giving birth to extraordinary people... Extraordinary people in all countries are explicitly encouraged by the law. Get a wife and have many children.
Even in Noah's ancient times, ordinary people in the tribe were only allowed to give birth to extraordinary people, and defeated female extraordinary people would be captured and bred with them.
These are all actions that are in the best interests and survival considerations of the tribe.
It is said that all the current spell masters actually have the bloodline of Yili Xingchen.
Therefore, the moral values of Noah's world are completely different from those of Earth.
Whether it was Ms. Peggy or King Ye who actually had a harem, or the many extraordinary people he knew who had multiple opposite-sex partners, they would not be looked down upon by the world.
The Noah people's concept of "love" has never been bound to the element of "one-on-one", but is closer to the feudal society of the earth.
Therefore, they may not be unable to accept having multiple partners.
But he is not a pure Noah at heart. The morality of the earth still binds his heart that is not completely "flexible", and he always feels that his actions are deception and betrayal.
"Hey, why don't you speak?" A blushing Eve shouted.
Damn it, you’ve already talked about this, why don’t you give me any feedback
Bai Yan was silent for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "I was questioning myself morally just now... Although I have always felt that I have no moral bottom line, that doesn't seem to be the case."
"what?"
Eve's head was filled with little question marks, and she had no idea what Bai Yan was thinking.
"Are you thinking too much?"
She chuckled and said suddenly: "You don't want to ask me if I have love for you... Let me tell you, I have never seen any couples have true love in these years. In fact, just a little liking is enough. Well, if two people don’t get tired of each other, that’s the standard for getting married.”
At the end of her sentence, Eve whispered:
"If it doesn't work, just find a way to make me like you more."
Love in stories is always rare in reality, and most people's lives are just making ends meet.
Bai Yan also felt that he had thought too much after all.
There are actually quite a few unethical things I have done in front of strangers, and the bottom line is flexible.
