Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

I lost a very important clue...

After feeling a pity in her heart, Warfarin continued reading the story.

Under the guidance of the Great God, the hunter overcame countless difficulties and obstacles and entered the deepest part of the mountains, into an unknown village.

Chapter 11 Xanadu

Similarly, the name of the village has been lost and can only be temporarily called 'Taoyuan Village'.

This village is blessed by the Great Ming God. Natural disasters will not affect this village. People in the village do not have to worry about the source of food. The wild animals in the mountains will walk into the traps set by the villagers.

Compared with the outside world, this place is a paradise. After arriving in Taoyuan Village, the hunter lived here.

A few months later, when the hunter's injury was completely healed, he began to miss his relatives who were still outside. However, when he made this request to the village's ancestor, he was rejected mercilessly.

The patriarch said that only those chosen by the gods are qualified to enter this village. It is a pity that his relatives were not chosen.

Moreover, the ancestor warned the hunter that he was already a member of Taoyuan Village. All villagers in Taoyuan Village could not leave the village at will. If they were responsible, they would be punished by the Great Ming God.

The hunter had no choice but to accept this statement, but as time passed, it became increasingly difficult for him to suppress his longing for his relatives.

Finally one day, the hunter couldn't bear it any longer, so he sneaked out while a major memorial ceremony was being held in the village. The hunter confidently believed that he had memorized the way into the village, and he could bring all his relatives with him. into this existence.

However, the moment the hunter stepped out of Taoyuan Village, he was horrified to find that all his memories of Taoyuan Village were passing away. Within a few minutes, he had forgotten everything about that village.

Whether it was the road into the village or his experience of living in the village in the past few months, the hunter's mind was empty. All information about Taoyuan Village and the Great Ming God had been erased by an unknown force.

At the end of the story, the hunter knelt on the ground helplessly. He should have felt regretful at that time, but he didn't know why he was regretting it.

After reading this story, both Adele and Warfarin fell into deep thought, but they were thinking about completely different things.

Overall, this is a somewhat baffling story.

Generally speaking, all stories have a reason for being written, either as a fable to give people some kind of enlightenment, or to contain some kind of warning, but this story has no such meaning at all.

Does it warn against greed?The hunter has already obtained the life that everyone dreams of, but because he is not satisfied with this situation and wants to bring his family into the village, he loses the qualification to stay in Taoyuan Village?

Thinking about it carefully, this is completely wrong. This idea of ​​abandoning one's family and children just for one's own consideration is not recognized by most people.

But other than that, the story seems to have no other meaning, and Warfarin feels that it is like a story that was half written and then cut in half. There are many things that have not been explained clearly.

For example, the hunter's experience within a few months, and the 'festival' mentioned at the end of the story.

The latter is what interests Warfarin more, but she didn't expect that an author would play such a "bad ending" so many years ago, which made Warfarin's interest completely fall into place.

"Forget it, it's just a story anyway."

Warfarin stretched and didn't take this seriously at all, "By the way, Adele, I've finished handling the matter here, what are you going to do next?"

"Logos doesn't know how much he can translate the rest of it. I will let you know after he has finished processing it."

After saying that, Warfarin sighed.

Even Logos, the future heir of the Banshee clan, would not be able to translate all of that notebook. No one in this world can master all of the Sakaz sacrificial inscriptions.

If His Majesty is still alive, he might be able to do such a thing... What a pity...

Adele did not notice this slight change in Warfarin's mood. She thought for two seconds and then said, "I will go back and sort out these legends. Thank you Dr. Warfarin, you really helped me a lot." .”

"It's okay, it's okay, I have nothing to do anyway, just think of reading novels to relax," Warfarin waved her hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, those stories are quite interesting to read."

"It's getting late. Remember to take a rest. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. You can also contact me through the Rhode Island intranet."

The two of them had been busy in the office almost all day. Although it was still raining lightly outside, it was already approaching dusk and the sun was about to set.

"Yes, Dr. Warfarin."

Nodding, Adele said she already knew.

However, just as Adele was about to leave Warfarin's office, the door of the office behind them was suddenly opened, and a familiar voice to Adele came from outside.

"Adele, I finally found you."

"Li Ang?" Adele looked at Li Ang who suddenly broke into the office with some surprise, "Didn't you go back to the company this morning? Why are you back again?"

"There was a little accident."

Li Ang nodded to Warfarin in the room and said hello, "Come with me first. I have important things to discuss with you."

Then, without waiting for Adele to say anything more, Li Ang took Adele, who was a little confused, and ran out.

The two ran all the way back to the room assigned to them in Rhode Island. After the door was completely closed, Li Ang used the spell provided by the Witch King to ensure that it was not eavesdropped by outsiders, covering the entire room.

"F, what happened?"

Adele asked breathlessly, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Not long ago, I saw the messenger sent by the Twin Queens."

【What?Did they send a messenger? 】

Upon hearing the news, the Witch King couldn't help but make a sound.

"Yes, but that's not important. What's important is that he brought news. Do you still remember the letter that Professor Valk gave us a few months ago? The letter said that he and the people from the tower went to the East Kingdom to investigate clues. .”

"Of course I remember...is it news related to the professor?"

Looking at Li Ang's serious expression, Adele already had a bad feeling in her heart.

"...Yes, it's just bad news."

Li Ang said with a slightly heavy heart, "Professor and the others lost contact completely after entering a city called 'Sagazaki'."

"And the strangest thing is that there is no place called 'Sagazaki' on the map of the Eastern Kingdom."

"That city doesn't exist!"

Chapter 12 Preparation

Afterwards, Li Ang took out the long conversation he had with Robert and all the information he got from there.

"I would like to check the translation progress of the notebook and see if there is any information in it that can help."

After listening, Adele fell into a long silence.

She silently flipped through the information that Li Ang brought, and after a long time she sighed and said softly, "So this happened..."

It was not surprising that Professor Valk would encounter an accident. Adele was not surprised at all. Ever since she learned what was recorded in the notebook, she had already been prepared for this.

Adele's parents were pursuing some legends that ordinary people were afraid of avoiding. Although most of them were accidentally caused by a certain Sakaz or a heretic warlock, as long as you were unlucky and met a If it is genuine, it would be a disaster for ordinary people.

The trip to Sami made Adele realize this deeply.

Obviously Professor Valk's luck was not very good, and he suddenly encountered the real thing.

In fact, the professor should have been reminded of this earlier, but it was a pity that they discovered it too late. Adele only figured out what her parents were doing a few hours ago.

"As for clues... I just found something that might be relevant, but I'm not sure. You should take a look first."

With that said, Adele handed the story translated by logos to Li Ang.

Li Ang reached out and read the text quickly, then frowned and said, "Taoyuan Village? Adele, do you think this village has something to do with Sagazaki City?"

This story made Li Ang feel a little familiar. The story told in Peach Blossom Spring seems to be similar to this one, but the difference is that there is no "god" in the story, nor the ability to erase other people's memories.

But if you think about it carefully, the story Tao Yuanming wrote was a bit scary. The story of Taoyuan Village is just based on the original story, with all the surreal parts written out.

"Because they are all in the Eastern Kingdom." Adele thought for a while and said, "Dr. Warfarin told me before that the 'Da Ming Shen' that appears in this story is a unique title of Eastern Shintoism... If If there is no problem with the translation.”

"Dongguo is a very small place. You can drive across the country from south to north in one day. In such a small piece of land, I don't think two unknown places can appear at the same time." Adele dragged her chin with her hands and looked a little tired, "Taoyuan Village is not the real name of the village. Maybe after a long period of development, the village became Sagazaki City?"

"It sounds reasonable."

In addition, this was a note left by Adele's parents, and Professor Valk followed their footsteps before heading to the Eastern Kingdom.

The combination of these two factors makes Adele's guess very likely - the Taoyuan Village mentioned in the story is the 'Sagazaki City' where Professor Valk went.

According to the description of the story, it was an isolated place, and there seemed to be the blessing of 'gods', so it is not difficult to imagine why he lost contact with the professor.

"But this still doesn't help." Li Ang patted his head in distress.

Apart from knowing that such a strange city does exist in the East Kingdom, there is almost no other gain. The only clue is that the city seems to be hidden in the mountains, but the problem is... The East Kingdom is a mountainous place There are countless mountains in this country. Is it possible that Li Ang still has to dig in and search for them one by one?

Even if we can find that city, even the day lilies may be cold by then.

It seems that it is necessary to seek some off-site assistance, but before that, Li Ang must first reach the gateway to the East Kingdom-Dragon Gate.

So Li Ang breathed out gently, and then said, "I'm going to Dongguo to see the situation. Where are you, Adele?"

The translation work of the notebook is still going on. In fact, Li Ang hopes that Adele can stay in Rhode Island to continue studying, but if she is willing to come together, Li Ang will not have any objection.

Although they are going to a city blessed by the gods, this time they are not the troublemakers in the past. They are just looking for two people and bringing them out. The hunter in the story also came out of Taoyuan Village safely. What?Compared to this, losing a memory is a minor issue.

"I'll go with you." Adele naturally said without hesitation.

"Then get ready. I asked Ma Enna to help arrange the itinerary. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Li Ang suddenly remembered that he seemed to have ignored someone, so he asked again, "Where is the Witch King? What do you think?"

After a moment, Angmar's somewhat dull voice reached their ears.

【……I have no opinion. 】

In fact, Angmar did not want his heir to go through this muddy water.

In his opinion, most things related to the gods are extremely dangerous. Although there are gods who are full of goodwill towards humans, Angmar still does not want to take any risks. It is enough to face the twin queens who have already established a trend. It gave him a headache, and he didn't want any other accidents to happen.

But the question is...Leon and Adele have already made a decision, which turn will it be for him, a monster, to intervene?

So Angmar kept his mouth shut with great self-knowledge. Since there was no way to change Li Ang's decision, Angmar could only work hard to find a way to help his heir survive the crisis that might arise next.

[But I have a suggestion. Before you set off, you might as well ask that 'Kelsey'. She might know something. 】

Angmar reminded Leon that there was an old woman of unknown age hidden on this land speeder. At some stage in Kelsey's life, she might have been to the East Kingdom. Ask Kelsey Hopefully there might be some unexpected gains.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will ask her later."

"But... let's rest now," Li Ang rubbed Adele's head and said, "It's not too late to wait until tomorrow to talk about anything."

It's a little cluttered, and the most difficult thing to write is this kind of excessive chapter...

I planned to write this volume as a COC script. In fact, my previous original plan was to write this, and I was going to write Cyberpunk Outline of one of the volumes to waste utilization.

By the way, "The Book of Strange Incidents in Sagazaki" is a very exciting group video that I have seen, but it's a pity that it was a scam... If you are not afraid of the scam, you can search it on station B. It is a script with a very exciting setting.

Chapter 13 The Abyss

Early the next morning, Li Ang approached Kelsi and asked her if she had heard any news about 'Sagazaki City'.

Later, Li Ang felt that his question might not be accurate, so he gave the translated story to Kelsey and told her that what he was looking for should be the 'Taoyuan Village' in the story.

Kelsey carefully recalled it for a long time before telling Li Ang helplessly that she had never heard of this strange place.

It's true that she has been to the Eastern Kingdom before, but that was many years ago, and Kelsey usually hides far away, and only pursues things related to gods when she is full and full. .

Afterwards, Kelsey called all the operators from the East Kingdom on Rhode Island and asked them if they had any clues related to this story.

Li Ang heard several different versions of the story from their mouths, and filled in some irrelevant details, but there was still no clue about the location of the city.

I really don’t know what Professor Valk discovered. It’s really unbelievable that he actually found Sagazaki City.

Now it's a bit troublesome... I don't know if the foreign aid Li Ang is planning to entrust is reliable. If they are not good enough, Li Ang will have to make plans to dig over every inch of the land in the East Kingdom.

Seeing Li Ang's slightly troubled expression, Kelsi quickly made a decision.

"Mr. Li, I have another way, maybe I can find the clues you want, but... I have to pay a certain price for it."

After finishing speaking, Kelsi fell silent, waiting for Li Ang's reply.

There is no free lunch in the world, so Kelsey saw this opportunity and was ready to ask Li Ang for a price.

Li Ang was not surprised. Since Kelsey wanted it so much, just give it to her.

"...If you can really find the location of that city, then I can promise you that I can do something for you, as long as you don't violate my bottom line."

Li Ang could feel that Kelsi's mood changed drastically the moment he made the promise, but on the surface she still had a calm expression.

"That's enough, we won't make it difficult for you."

Kelsey took a deep breath and said, "Then, please wait here for a moment while I go investigate the information about that city."
