The Spirit World

Chapter 948 Heavenly Palace (XI)
I cried, but not really. I just felt it wasn't worth it.

Wen Qian stood on the train platform, waiting, and the wind would follow the person who was leaving.

In the next month, she will follow someone to the ancient country in the East, which was once rich and beautiful but is now full of holes.

The war has destroyed that place beyond recognition.

"Sorry for the waitting."

A woman in a white dress appeared behind her, with blonde hair and blue eyes, holding a small umbrella.

She is very delicate, and her orchid fingers and white lace high heels make her look even more beautiful.

"Ms. Mary Jade."

Mary Jade is her Western name.

"It doesn't matter. I'm the one waiting, and that's how it should be."

Wen Qian leaned forward and bowed slightly, then took her hand from the back of the briefcase and shook hands with Mary Jade.

The briefcase did not contain any confidential documents, but her own collection of "world".

She had traveled all over the world, century after century, walking, wandering, and drifting.

It records too many things she saw.

From the Quetzalcoatl of the mythological era, Shennong who tasted all kinds of herbs, Odin in the far north of the world, to the Pharaoh Tutankhamun of the human era, the Qin Shi Huangdi who was feared by the ages, and, most importantly, King Arthur.

Everything she thought about was recorded on it.

Only when she has all of this can she feel that she is alive as a human being.

Yes, being alive, but without these recorded memories, how can people know that they are alive?
Only these can accompany her.

"Are you sure you want to go to this country? It's not as good as it sounds. It's not that there is misery everywhere, but its people are now in a state of ignorance and other countries are eyeing it and want to divide its territory. It's not a good place to go..."

"We have lost so many wars, and it is extremely rare to be able to survive. After all, it is a new era, no longer limited to land."

Mary Jade said and lifted her hair.

"Even I am disappointed with that place."

"That's what war is, Ms. Mary Jade."

After she answered Mary Jade, she stopped talking, and Mary Jade simply nodded, then made an elegant turn with the small umbrella, and a golden vortex appeared in front of Wen Qian.

It was a portal, delicate and elegant with the white ribbon that Mary Jade liked fluttering in it.

"I hope you can achieve your wish. It is not easy to find someone who has disappeared for a thousand years in such an ignorant and feudal country, but the only thing I can do is to wish you success."

Mary Yu looked at Wen Qian as if she was looking at a poor child who was trying to find something but was depressed because she had not found it.

"Thank you for your blessing, Ms. Mary. If Merlin can't help me, then I can only go find Lin Zhen. He is the only person who can bring me back. I really hope Merlin can help me...but..."

"Merlin is like this. Ever since that incident, he has been suffering. It would be more painful for him to open the time-space gate again than to eat a thousand cheesecakes."

"It's not really his fault."

Mary Jade was very tall, and looking at her was like looking at a pitiful little mouse.

"By the way, Ms. Wen Qian, you should be able to imagine that in a war-torn country, demons will be everywhere. If you want to go there now, it's best to bring someone to accompany you. After all, we are unfamiliar with the place. If something goes wrong, we don't want to face some demon king."

The crow flew over the railroad tracks on the road, where a rumbling train had just passed. The sound of this new creature was too scary, like a roaring beast hitting anyone who had seen it. "Don't worry about it, someone will pick me up at the Kowloon Pier. His name is Ao Xu, a young man from the ancient dragon clan, and he is willing to help me."

"Oh, that's great. The ancient dragons are humble and reliable. I think you will succeed."

Neither of them was in a hurry. In this boring time, it seemed that they could chat for a whole day, but they had to stop because there was really nothing else to talk about.

What's hers is hers after all, and Mary Jade meets many people and can talk to everyone.

It's not entirely her problem.

"Thank you."

So, when she entered the portal, Mary Jade kept looking at her. She was also very comfortable and took a deep breath and lifted her chest.

She was not that happy, nor was she that sad. She was just going on a long journey, a journey that would not be easy to come back from.

In the past days, Merlin was with her, and when Merlin was not around, she would have someone to accompany her.

But that was not a time of war after all, but a time of peace.

The country she was going to was full of holes and there was no such thing as joy.

She has seen and heard a lot of monsters, but that doesn't mean she isn't afraid, nor does she have the ability to not be afraid.

Many people died there. Just as Mary Jade said, many people in the country she was about to go to were still in ignorance. She thought about it and read many books for many years. Not to mention the newly emerging school of physics, she had also learned the elegant style very well.

However, she was not from an aristocratic family, so she had no control over the so-called "education". When she went into the fields, she was just a peasant woman who could plant rice; when she went into the mountains, she had to wash clothes and cook for herself.

That is the most normal thing.

In a world without magic, in the days when we stood on the land, there was no such thing as sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor, nor was there any arrogance in enjoyment and pleasure.

The moment she stepped into Kowloon Pier, she knew she had come to another world.

There are no chaotic train "monsters", no railway tracks, and no tall buildings.

Low buildings are crowded together amid bankruptcy and rebirth, the shouts of unloading goods at the dock can be heard one after another, and soldiers who do not belong to this country are delivering goods to each other and walking through the crowd that does belong to this country.

They are like people from two different worlds.

No one knew they would bring war, bring cruel treaties, and destroy this place.

But when they came, everything was completely different.

There will not be endless wars, but if you lose once, you will never be able to recover.

Compared to London, the shabby clothes are not terrible. What is terrible is that the people of this country more or less lack a confident look, which can make the gentlemen in London look bright and energetic, and naturally make the pedestrians walking on the Kowloon Pier look bright and energetic.

But they didn't have that kind of gaze, so it became very natural when they were dressed in rags and looked extremely thin.

It's like coming out of two different worlds.

The former brings war, and the latter must accept war.

After all, this is the case, and the operation of the world is consistent with human cognition.

Wen Qian walked through the two groups of people. She was like a person from a third world and no longer integrated with them.

What was she looking for? Perhaps she herself didn't quite understand.
