The journey back to history is magnificent but extremely long, making it easy for people to get stuck in it.
Traveling through the fragmented fragments of history is a great test for one's will. Whether it is the emperors, generals, or traffickers that no one knows, when you experience their history in person At that time, they are no longer just a group of pictures in historical memory, but have become a real existence with flesh and blood. They have their own joys and sorrows, and have their own emotions. Whether it is a heroic epic or a mediocre life, it will be in their own left an indelible mark in time and space.
As a passer-by, Hao Ren did everything possible to put himself in the position of a bystander, and maintained a detached third-party perspective during this historical journey—because he knew that only by maintaining this perspective of a bystander, Only then can he maintain himself and complete the entire 10,000-year long history without being swallowed up and assimilated by the endless historical illusions.
It is not easy to maintain this state, and it is probably an impossible task for ordinary people, but Hao Ren has persisted with the mentality he has experienced as a "censor" in the past few years.
Jump again and again, go back again and again, meet Vivienne in different periods of history again and again, and then bid farewell in a hurry and embark on a new journey.
Not every historical journey is worthy of detailed description, and not every awakening of Vivienne can go according to plan, but no matter what, Hao Ren and his friends have made it all the way. The journey on the snowfields of Siberia and that trip to France seem to have been a long time ago. After that, they have traveled through the vast primeval jungle of the Amazon, crossed the endless desolate Taklamakan desert, and even in the sea with nowhere to stay. They drifted in the middle of the sea for half a month—until they found an ancient city that had sunk for thousands of years on the bottom of the sea, and found the ancient secret room where Vivienne's coffin was stored in this city that was destroyed by the outbreak of magic power.
They have dealt with the werewolf hermits in South America, and they have also joined hands with the descendants of the silver wizards on the Mesopotamian plains to fight against the demon hunters. With the help of Hasselblad, Hao Ren even managed to infiltrate the demon hunters Under the eyes of thousands of demon hunters, the Asia headquarters smuggled Vivienne's coffin out from the depths of the Himalayas.
The iron cavalry of Genghis Khan, the palace of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the city-states of the Aztecs, one after another famous in history, almost turned into a symbol, floated in front of his eyes, and Hao Ren kept going back to the past. During the trip, I seem to feel the same feelings as Vivienne: time goes by, the sea is changing, and the whole world is constantly being transformed by its inhabitants. Although the sun still rises every day, the setting sun always shines on the new On the land of mankind, the world of human beings and the world of "gods", they have been shuffled and reorganized countless times in this ever-changing history. Dynasties are often difficult to last for several generations.
The only thing that remains the same is the eyes of the onlookers who are passers-by in history.
"See you in the next era."
Vivienne's figure had gradually dissipated in the air, only her voice seemed to be still in her ears.
After a while, Hao Ren exhaled, stood up and looked at the few people standing beside him.
Heather Anna was boringly carving a piece of off-white wood with a knife, as if trying to see if she could leave traces on this "substance" frozen in time and space. Hasselblad was carefully checking her witcher equipment to ensure that These powerful weapons can be in the best condition at any time, while Lily is sitting not far away, concentrating on eating the shrimp crackers and potato chips taken out of Hao Ren's portable space.
The place they are now in is a small tiny room with wooden floors, wooden walls, and wooden ceiling, and a slatted window covered with thick paper is set into the wall beside Lily, and the window is propped open. Outside, there was only chaos to be seen. There is no decoration in the room, only a low square table in the center of the room, surrounded by a few cushions, a man dressed as an ancient Chinese military general is standing in the corner with a surprised face, his astonished expression has followed Time and space are stagnant and covered with a layer of gray and white.
Heather Anna put away the knife and said casually, "The fire in Chibi is really big."
"No wonder Cao Cao lost so badly." Lily not far away did not raise her head, "He even set up camp above Vivienne's underground palace. Don't let Zhuge Liang come, I can win."
Heather Anna yelled at Lily: "Just brag about it, you're so stupid with your arms alone? Hundreds of thousands of people stand still and let you kill you, and you will exhaust yourself to death..."
Hao Ren watched the little bat spirit arguing with Lily just like Vivienne, and couldn't help but smile. Then he stood up and walked towards the wooden door of the cabin where a ray of light was faintly showing.
"Let's go, the next stop is waiting for us."
The door opened, and it was a brand new fragment of time and space.
Hao Ren squinted his eyes to get used to it, and found that he was standing on a wide and straight road.
This is a wide footpath paved with stone slabs. On both sides of the road are gray and white, neat and tall houses mixed with stone and wood. The houses have a typical classical Greek style and are extremely exquisite. At the end of the street, you can see a huge, Square with fountains and sculptures.
Bustling pedestrians come and go on the avenue, most of them wear white or gray "robes", part of the "robe" is wrapped around half of their body and put on their shoulders to form mostly decorative drape folds, while women's clothing is The shape is more complicated, but the color is still mainly white. It is not difficult to judge from the clothing, the life of these people is at least the level of food and clothing.
It seemed to be a large city - and the cleanliness of the city was even better than that of fourteenth-century European cities.
Hao Ren glanced back, and found that he came out of a wooden door inlaid on the base of a huge sculpture. This abrupt wooden door was obviously an abnormal existence caused by the dislocation of time and space. Of course, such a weird way of appearing on the stage will inevitably attract people's attention, especially here is a bustling city avenue, so soon there are quite a few pedestrians stopping around, looking curiously at these "walking through the sculptures" Come out" guy.
Hassu came out after Hao Ren, noticing so many people around, the old hunter frowned, and waved his hand to release a powerful spiritual force: "It seems that we have arrived at a very lively place."
The spell of "dispelling idlers" most frequently used by demon hunters in covert operations was the most convenient point for Hao Ren after Hasselblad joined the team. My focus, one by one, shook their heads in confusion and left.
Hessiana glanced at the surrounding architectural style, then at the costumes of the passers-by, and quickly made an inference: "It should be in the ancient Greek area... This is... the city of Rome?"
As the little bat spirit spoke, a different look gradually appeared on her face, and the surrounding buildings full of ancient Greek style seemed to bring her an unusual sense of familiarity: "Oh, this is really a scene that I haven't seen for a long time. "
Lily glanced at her in surprise: "Are you familiar with the city of Rome?"
"I was cultivated in ancient Greece to become a master! Then I went around all the city-states around ancient Greece, and finally ran to Rome!" Hessiana akimbo, "Wait, let me think... I am here The first time I met Lord Vivienne after becoming a master was probably in Rome!"
"You, a vampire full of Western illusions, cultivated to become a master when you opened your mouth, and you didn't feel awkward when you said it." Hao Ren's first reaction was to complain, and then he reacted, "Wait, you said you were in ancient times. Roman met Vivienne for the first time?"
"Yeah," Heatherana scratched her hair, "but I can't remember clearly what happened at that time, after all, I just transformed from a little bat into a human form, my brain is not very good, and I don't have much idea of what happened around me. I just vaguely remember some fragments of Lord Vivienne taking me to seek life in ancient Rome after he found me, and at that time, the city looked like this before my eyes... probably."
Lily couldn't help rolling her eyes immediately: "Your memory is no longer reliable, just like a big bat."
"Can this be my fault!" Hesiana crossed her hips, "I was a bat hanging upside down in the cave when I slept the night before, and I walked upright when I opened my eyes the next day. What can you do if you put it on your body?" Understand what happened to me? It’s not bad for me to remember some local customs, much better than you remember pulling a sled and running madly in the woods when you were a child!”
"I… "
"Okay, okay, you two can't be quiet," Hao Ren glared at the two, thinking that finally the husky spirit didn't have to quarrel with Vivienne, and she even found Vivienne's trumpet to continue Noisy, "It's important to do business. Hessiana, you said you followed Vivienne around the city of ancient Rome. What year was that?"
Heather Anna thought for a while: "Anyway, Caesar was not dead that year."
"How many rounds have we gone back?" Hao Ren blinked and looked at Hasselblad.
"No need to calculate, it is probably around the first year of AD, within a hundred years of error," Hasselblad folded his arms, but his eyes scanned all the details of the surrounding buildings and pedestrians, "according to the style of clothing of the pedestrians, it should be the period of the Roman Republic , the empire has not yet been established, and the streets are in good order, there is a good chance that Caesar is still in power—just don’t know if he has become dictator.”
Hao Ren looked at Heather Anna: "We may have come to a very delicate point in time—where did you live with Vivian back then?!"
"... I'll go, it can't be such a coincidence..." Hesiana was a little confused, but she quickly reacted and showed a somewhat frustrated expression, "It's been more than two thousand years, how can I remember clearly."
"Then look slowly." Hao Ren showed a relaxed and happy expression on his face, "I'm afraid we can find a Vivian who is still awake this time."
