Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Rustling, banging.

Walking in the endless flower field, Angie without armor and Charles half-clad in armor made different footsteps.

This was the first time either of them had been alone.Angie originally thought it would be a little awkward, but with Charles's natural attitude and chatting, her mood became relaxed and leisurely, as if she and the other person were old friends who had known each other for many years.

After walking leisurely for about a few dozen meters, Charles heard Elijah still calling Angie. He couldn't help but look back and found that he had been placed on the ground next to him by Sean, who was accompanying him. Elan Iselin and the others were playing around.

"Is everything okay with Mr. Elijah? He seems to be quite reluctant to let you go." Although it was only a temporary separation, Charles was still a little embarrassed looking at Elijah's pitiful look.

"It's okay, I have to teach him a lesson."

Anji said helplessly and glanced at Elijah on the ground in the distance.In fact, he should be able to use the vines to drive his body to chase her, but he didn't do so, probably because he was afraid of making her angry again.

Anyway, she just planned to let Sean take care of it temporarily. Elijah is not a kid running around. She just wants to punish him with a little separation, so don't worry.

Thinking this, she withdrew her gaze and looked around.Countless flowers are dotted on the green space. From time to time, a breeze blows, raising a large number of flying petals, and then they disperse in chaos and fall on the nearby green grass.

Peaceful and beautiful.These two words are perfect for describing this vast sea of ​​flowers. At this moment, the sound of chasing and fighting in the distance adds a lot of vitality to this beautiful world, and Anji can't help but look back. The three figures running around in the golden light said with a smile:

"I really hope I can live such a peaceful and happy life every day."

"Yeah. Although this is a foreign land, even within the barrier, there are rarely such peaceful and beautiful places. I really want to stay here for a few more days."

Stopping with emotion, Charles looked at Angie behind him, only to find that her expression suddenly became lonely, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I plan to go back to Glosk today."

She said softly, which made Charles slightly stunned, and quickly asked: "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

"Before Sean and I set out, Slade asked someone to bring us a message, saying that he had no other requirements, as long as he came back within two months."

Recalling the scene when the housekeeper Green explained these things, Angie turned to look at Charles and found that his face was full of disappointment:
"So...you want to go back as soon as possible?"

"Well, haven't we been in Knollson for more than a month? The treasures we brought out are gone. We can only buy horses on credit from the villagers and return to Kent. Even if we travel day and night, it will take at least seven or eight days. Time.”

Listening to Angie's soft explanation, Charles's expression became more complicated. After thinking about it, he asked her:
"Slade good to you?"

"It's hard to define. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just special."

"Special?" Charles blinked thoughtfully.

"Well, it's a long story, let me explain it to you slowly..." Anji looked at him with a wry smile, "There are a lot of things, and they happen to be related to some of my personal adventures, so I'll tell you all at once. All right... By the way, do you want to hear the abbreviated version?"

"Of course it's the detailed version~"

He smiled playfully, and his mood improved. His blue eyes were full of expectation: "If you are willing, I would like to hear more about you - I don't even know everything about you." What’s the name!”

"My last name was chosen by me at random, there's nothing special about it."

Anji couldn't help but laugh, then she slightly restrained her smile, looked at him and said:
"However, my story may surprise you. When you finish listening, please tell me your thoughts."

After that, Anji not only told him many of his experiences in various strange places, but also emphasized the unlucky things - such as encountering a rare thunderstorm in Havok Mountain and stepping on a hollow brick in the church. Go down and wait.

As for what happened after leaving the Groske Territory this time, she didn't talk much to Charles. She just briefly mentioned that she was chased by a fan leaf in the flower field, had a fight with the three Kongdao sisters, and was finally chased by the gray-skinned man. The woman was thrown into a strange place and met Charles like this.

Although she told these stories in more detail, she still deliberately did not mention some things: such as receiving a gift in Gran Village, Sean recognizing her as his master, the strange patterns on her chest, and the statues of the Cursed King and Goddess. Mistaken for Tirusa.

After all, these things are considered very important secrets, and she will never tell others unless necessary.

While walking and chatting, they came to the row of white windmills. At this time, Anji pointed to the windmill in the middle and said to him with a smile:

"You see, it was the fan blade above that was chasing me before. I took it apart completely, and I don't know where it has gone now."

"Haha, it's really weird when you look at it this way - only this windmill doesn't have a fan."

With that said, Charles stepped forward, kicked the windmill, and observed it for a while to make sure it showed no signs of coming back to life. Then he turned to look at Anji and said with a smile:

"However, your stories are too bizarre - how come you have encountered all the things that normal people cannot encounter?"

"Yes, other people have said the same thing, so I often wonder if there is something wrong with me."

Seeing her say this with a wry smile, Charles' expression immediately became serious.In order to better enjoy the outdoor scenery, they did not go into the windmill, but came to the back of the windmill where the friends could not see, and sat down on the lawn there. Then he said:

"Angie, I think your feeling is right."

"You're saying that there's something really wrong with me, that these things are really being targeted at me?"

Although he said this in a rhetorical tone, Angie's expression showed no doubts, more like stating this point of view, and then saw Charles nodding seriously: "You just mentioned, Fisk's sisters He once said, 'You have a feeling that makes them hate and resist'. I think this may be the key to these curses targeting you."

"I once heard from my father that some alien realms have their own 'consciousness'. They will instinctively target those fearless people who are more threatening. I think this is very consistent with your experience in the Gran Village alien world. environment and what happened in this psychedelic flower field,

"Because you see, the floor tiles of the church in Grand Village collapse when you walk past, causing you to fall to the bottom of the cave. It also exerts a stronger gravity on you than others. The fan in the psychedelic flower field is also staring at you. You rushed over and didn't care about Sean at all, right?"

Silently listening to Charles' analysis, Angie nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked dullly: "But how do you determine the level of threat of these things? That moment in the Grand Village Church, I should have been completely He is the knight with the lowest field endurance value, but the underground cave is still very targeted at me, and the sentence "The deeper the sin, the heavier the soul. Only by redeeming sin can one return to the light." Is that a metaphor? What, or just plain nonsense?”

After thinking for a moment, Charles quickly came to a conclusion: "Based on your description, I think the church in Gran Village is a typical regular alien environment. Since this message appears at the bottom of the cave, then it It should be very important information - because generally speaking, in rule-based alien environments, the more difficult it is to obtain information, the higher its importance."

For a moment, Anji's mood became very complicated:
"...So, does it really think I'm guilty? It thinks I'm the worst sinner, so it deliberately makes me so serious?"

"But, it's just a foreign land, right? Who knows what the foreign land thinks."

Charles said disapprovingly, then looked at her with a smile: "Anyway, I don't think you are guilty. Rather, if you are also guilty, then there are not many people in the world who are innocent, right? And that white space On the parchment, didn’t I also say that you were right? Don’t mind this matter anymore.”

Angie nodded, feeling that what Charles said made sense, and no longer thought about the church.

However, apart from this matter, she also had other confusions.

"Actually, I always wonder: If I didn't go to Grand Village, would the concentration of the curse there not have risen, or wouldn't it have risen so fast? Would the church alien world not have appeared? Return to Is it possible that the mirror of the surface world will not fail?"

This time, Charles thought carefully for a while before coming to a conclusion: "I'm not sure either. Because you see, Grand Village is a new foreign land, right? This kind of sudden foreign land always takes a while to resolve. Stabilize, so these changes are not necessarily about you.

"For example, the black tide you mentioned that involved you and Scott together is actually a special phenomenon that occurs when a foreign land is born. It is formed by the accumulation of a large number of curses. But I don't understand what you guys are doing. Why can you survive? According to your description at the time, you should be dissolved by the curse in an instant." Angie nodded in agreement, and then saw Charles looking at her with a more serious look: "...but, there is One thing I can be sure of: as long as you don't find out the reason why you are cursed and don't solve this reason, you will continue to encounter dangers.

"Anji, are there still many things you haven't told me? I hope you can choose to trust me and let me help solve this problem together. I don't want you to be in danger all the time. If this continues, something will happen to you sooner or later."

Charles' expression was unusually solemn, and his voice was full of worry, which made Anji feel both touched and a little sorry.

However, just like this, she still couldn't completely let down her guard.

Avoiding his sight, Anji lowered her head silently, grabbed a handful of the lawn in front of her, rubbed the grass scraps in her hand, and said softly:
"Char, actually I don't like this world very much."

Charles was stunned.He didn't expect Anji to say this suddenly, but he was not particularly surprised by the content of the sentence. He was just stunned for a moment before asking her with a wry smile:

"why?"

"Do you think...the world should be like this?"

After saying this, she looked at the sea of ​​flowers in the distance, as well as the waterfall further away and the island above, and smiled bitterly: "I think the scenery here is very good and very attractive to me, but... Why is there such a thing as a curse in such a beautiful world?”

This time, it was Charles' turn to fall silent.

It was sunset now, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the distant sky with a layer of orange-red, and also added a bit of warmth to the spectacular waterfall hanging down from the sky.While admiring this dazzling picture, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance behind him suddenly became heated. He couldn't help but smile at this moment, looked at the gloomy Anji and said:
"You think there shouldn't be curses in this world, right? I think so too. It's just that since this world is already like this, we can't change it for the time being, so we can only enjoy the present."

"...Yeah, I don't know what happened 300 years ago."

Sighing heavily, Angie sighed, but then she heard Charles' doubtful voice: "300 years ago?"

"Yes, didn't the accident happen 300 years ago?" Anji looked back at him and tilted her head.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, their expressions gradually changing from confusion to shock, and then they suddenly stood up at the same time and said at the same time:

"Wait——"×2
"Speak first!" Knowing that Angie wanted to be humble, Charles quickly spoke before her, his expression and tone unprecedentedly panicked, "Why did you say that?"

"I--"

Faced with this problem, Anji suddenly got stuck, and his momentum suddenly dropped.

What could she say?You can't just say that you came from another world, and you were inexplicably stuffed with a bunch of strange information at the beginning, and then you found out about this.

By the way... doesn't that information turn out to be "common sense"? ? ! !She thought it was some kind of fixed plot from time travel...?
Wait...why does she feel that way?Is it just because she is a modern person and has long been accustomed to settings similar to those in games and novels?
She had obviously doubted this information before, so why didn't she think more about it then? ?
As these thoughts flashed rapidly, at this moment, Anji suddenly felt an unusually strong chill.

Under Charles' horrified eyes, she suddenly lost all strength, leaned against the windmill behind her, and murmured with a self-deprecating smile:
"Yes...why, why do I always feel that those things are probably correct, why do I think it is normal for them to enter my head like this...? Even if I..."

Even if I am not originally from this world, traveling here is already the biggest anomaly, so can I accept those "small anomalies"?

Without saying these words from her heart, Anji could only feel various thoughts churning in her mind at this moment, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Angie? Are you okay?"

From the moment he noticed something unusual about her, Charles nervously leaned in front of her and asked questions repeatedly.But at the same time, Anji just lowered her head and didn't reply, which made him more and more nervous. Finally, he was so anxious that he slapped her shoulders with both hands and shouted in a loud voice:

"Angie!"

Like waking up from a nightmare, Anji suddenly came back to her senses. The first thing she saw was the face that was too close, and her thoughts came to a standstill on the spot.

It was a face that was delicate yet heroic.Although she had already felt that Charles's appearance was a bit foul before drinking, but under close observation, the three-dimensional handsome facial features and blue eyes still inevitably made people a little confused.

But at this moment, his face, which was always smiling and had a gentle and cheerful personality, was extremely nervous and serious at the moment, completely lacking his usual calmness. It was just like when Renee appeared before and tried to take her away by force.

"Angie, are you okay? Why do you suddenly feel like you have no energy? Are you sick?"

Seeing that Anji had come to her senses but still didn't speak, Charles directly raised his hand to touch her forehead and felt her body temperature.His palms were very rough and seemed to be covered with calluses, and his actions also made Anji wake up completely and smiled on the spot: "I'm fine, it's just... I just received a little blow."

"Blow?" Charles retracted his hand, the worry on his face not diminishing at all, "What's wrong? Is it a serious blow?"

Somehow, after seeing him so worried, Anji felt relaxed instantly.

Under his concerned gaze, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said with an embarrassed smile:

"I'm sorry, there are some things I have been hiding from you... No, I should say everyone. However, I think it is still necessary to speak up and discuss it with you, but it may be difficult for you to believe these things-"

"Oh, you are always so polite."

Very rarely, Charles interrupted her directly, then stood up straight and complained to the girl in front of him who was slightly shorter than him:

"Huh - you scared me just now. I thought you suddenly encountered some big crisis, and you were ready to call Yilan to come over and find someone for help! Besides, what do you mean by 'I may find it hard to believe it' I've always believed in you about these things, but you just don't want to believe me."

After hearing him complain so much, Anji couldn't help but smile, and then there was a hint of cunning in the smile:
"This is what you said. Don't be so surprised that you can't hold your chin back later - in fact, I am not from this world. I just suddenly came here one day, and then I became like this~"

"……Eh?"

Subconsciously wondering, Charles blinked his eyes, and then gradually came to his senses under Angie's smiling gaze, and shouted in shock:
"Huh??!!! What did you say???"

Hey, you can't guess this twist, right?
Although it may seem a bit abrupt, in fact, I mentioned in Chapter 67 that Anji was actually confused about that information.

(I’ll talk about this again in the next chapter, so I won’t spoil it here.)
In fact, this doubt existed from the beginning.Although I have revised Chapter 1 many times, I have not changed the plot, and I have never changed the information (at most, I only changed the order of words and modified some places that were not smooth in pronunciation).

This is because it is actually a big foreshadowing.

Oops, I don’t want to say too much. It’s not like there’s no next chapter. This chapter is already 5 words long, so let’s end it here!
In the past few days, I have made major deletions and revisions and saved the manuscript several times. It is really difficult to write such a long chapter for several days in a row.Fortunately, my production capacity has increased now, otherwise I would not be able to handle one chapter a day.

After all, this chapter is worth two.

But as I write this, I finally feel like "Ah! I can finally fill in the holes! It feels really good to be able to let go of my guard and discuss secrets with other people! It seems that the plot is finally starting to gain momentum." !" A sense of security.

In short, I hope I can put everything I wrote before into perspective and stop eating books~!

It’s so fun to fill in the holes!
