"I refuse."
Suddenly, Genji responded loudly, the boy spitting out a chicken bone and looking at Reika Kamishiro, saying:
"Kamijo Daichi is my prisoner. No one will take him away from here until they know the answer I want."
"you......"
Reika Kamishiro raised an eyebrow and looked at Gengo with hostility, but was immediately met with an even more hostile glare from Gengo. Although Daichi Kamijou was not someone to be completely trusted, he had said that "others cannot be trusted." Who were these "others"? Naturally, they were certain people in the Sword of Truth. Therefore, before he awoke and gave a reasonable explanation, Gengo would not let him leave his control.
"As a swordsman of the Sword of Truth, are you disobeying the orders of the Holy Lord of Truth?!"
After choking slightly, Reika Kamishiro looked sharply at Genji again, questioning him. The boy, meanwhile, gulped down a large glass of water, wiped his mouth, and said speechlessly:
"Don't assume I'm a subordinate of the Sword of Truth just because I'm wearing your uniform. If I changed into Megad's clothes, would you draw your sword and fight me?"
"you....."
"Linghua!"
Just as Reika Kamishiro was about to argue with Gengo, another voice came from outside the hall. Then a man dressed in the same red uniform walked in. His hairstyle and expression were both very serious. Upon seeing the man, Reika Kamishiro immediately became obedient and completely unrecognizable from her previous aloof demeanor.
"Greetings, Lady Sophia. I am Ryoga Kamishiro, a swordsman serving the Southern District Base."
The newcomer introduced himself earnestly, then looked at Yuanxiang and said:
"You must be Lord Gensou. Your heroic deeds have reached the Southern Base, and the Holy Lord is deeply impressed. That's why he sent me here to prevent Linghua from causing any misunderstandings. Linghua, apologize to Mr. Gensou."
"No need, no need. It's just a normal argument, not to the point where an apology is necessary."
Gengo stood up and looked at Ryoga Kamishiro, saying:
"So, you didn't come here just to stop Miss Linghua, did you?"
"Indeed, His Majesty has ordered that matters concerning traitors should be based primarily on Mr. Gensho's suggestions, but regardless of the outcome, please relay this to the Southern Base."
Ryoga Kamishiro stood tall and relayed the message meticulously. After finishing, he changed the subject and looked at Genji, saying softly:
"However, His Majesty heard that Mr. Gensou suffered serious injuries in that battle, so he ordered me to bring precious medicine here, hoping it can help you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Master, but medicine is of little use to me. There's no need to waste it on me. Give it to someone who needs it more."
Yuanxiang waved his hand dismissively, took a sip of water, and, noticing the increasingly curious and puzzled looks directed at him, lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then, while unbuttoning his shirt, said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, I'll show you, so you won't say I don't know how to accept other people's kindness, here you go."
Gensou turned around and showed everyone the crack on his back. Just looking at it made them feel as if it would tear their souls apart, leaving the swordsmen speechless for a moment.
"So ordinary drugs and treatments are useless against me. To be honest, if that fight with Megid had dragged on any longer, I probably would have died too. But thankfully, I survived. However, don't count on me for any fights you have to fight anytime soon."
As he finished dressing, Yuanxiang said in a regretful tone:
"Although I also enjoy fighting, life is more important than anything else."
"This... I will pass this on to His Majesty the Holy Lord, and I hope His Majesty the Holy Lord can find a way to heal your injuries."
Although Gengo's words sounded cowardly, any man who could fight with such injuries deserved respect. So, Ryoga Kamishiro spoke in an extremely serious tone, then, with his younger sister Reika Kamishiro in tow, they bowed slightly to Gengo and left the North District base.
"Grandpa once said that scars are the medals of a tough guy."
Yuanxiang sat down and continued eating and drinking, using the spare time after finishing his food to say softly:
"That's why I don't like the way you're looking at me now, like you're pitying me."
"No, no, no, we absolutely did not mean that."
Kamiyama Touma waved his hands repeatedly, respectfully sat down beside Gensato, and said softly:
"Um... if it's alright, could I hear about your past? You know I'm a novelist..."
"Trying to extract material from me? Haha...you..."
"Mr. Gensou!!"
Just as Gengo revealed a suitable smile, wanting to tease Touma Kamiyama, the door was pushed open again, and Ryoga and Reika Kamishiro reappeared. This time, Gengo was so startled that he coughed incessantly. Everyone subconsciously wanted to go over and pat his back to help him catch his breath, but remembering his injuries, no one dared to make the move.
"What's wrong?"
Gengo patted his chest, giving Ryoga Kamishiro a disapproving look. The usually serious man coughed sheepishly, then said earnestly:
"Regarding your injuries, perhaps the power of Avalon can be used to repair them."
"Kamishiro Ryoga, do you know what you're saying?!"
Ryota Onoue's expression hardened, and he said seriously:
“There is a powerful force sealed inside that no one could control in the past. It’s a place that swordsmen cannot reach. You want Gensou to use such a dangerous thing to heal your wounds. Isn’t that going too far?”
"This is an instruction given to me by His Holiness."
Ryoga Kamishiro answered earnestly. He explained that the Lord of Truth had given him instructions just moments before he returned to the Southern District base through the 'Gate of Books,' which was why he had rushed back so hastily.
"Mr. Yuanxiang, His Majesty the Holy Lord believes in your strength and sincerely hopes that you can recover your health, so he has made an exception and allowed you to go to that sealed land!"
260 Now it's your turn.
"If that's the case, how do we get to that lost land?"
Touma Kamiyama hurriedly asked Ryoga Kamishiro, expressing his genuine joy for Gengo if those terrible cracks could be erased. Ryoga Kamishiro turned away, his serious expression causing everyone to instinctively fall silent, waiting for his next words...
"I do not know."
"Ouch~~"
The red-clad swordsman's answer caused the other swordsmen to stumble slightly. Ryoga Kamishiro, feeling somewhat embarrassed, coughed and said in a low voice:
"This matter is not within my jurisdiction. I will go back and look for useful information. If I find any news, I will inform you as soon as possible. But please do your best to gather relevant information as well. That's all, Linghua."
"elder brother."
"Let's go, goodbye everyone."
Watching the brother and sister leave so decisively, the people at the North Base could only shrug helplessly. Then Sophia said softly:
"Now that we have His Holiness's permission, let's begin our search for clues about the lost land—Avalon."
"Oh!! Let's all come together, so that Brother Yuanxiang can get better soon!"
Mei Sudo jumped out, raising her hand and shouting happily. The swordsmen smiled and stood up straight, making energetic movements. Then, Sophia waved her hand, and a row of bookshelves appeared with a 'bang' and landed on the ground. The densely packed books on them made everyone's expressions freeze.
"Sophia, isn't this quantity a bit off...?"
The long-haired man stiffly looked up at the second floor and said:
"I remember there were only four or five bookshelves."
"Indeed, the only books that explicitly relate to the Lost Lands are those you mentioned."
Sofia explained with a smile:
"But in reality, the records about that place are quite fragmented. Since we have so many people here, let's check them all to avoid missing anything."
"This is quite a workload."
Ryo Onoue sighed softly, and Touma Kamiyama immediately picked up the conversation with a smile, saying:
"No problem, reading is a lot of fun, the unknown knowledge inside will make you..."
However, before Kamiyama Touma could finish speaking, Tomikamiya Kento tugged at his sleeve and pointed to the left. Kamiyama Touma looked in that direction with a puzzled expression and saw that Genji's body had become semi-transparent. Lines of text flashed through his body from time to time, but it was impossible to see what they were writing. However, everyone felt a heart-palpitating aura emanating from Genji. It was not too frightening, but rather it made people involuntarily revere him, yet they couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
Gensou naturally used the 'Library's' power. If the power in 'Avalon' could really heal the cracks in his body, then sacrificing some memories for it would be a worthwhile trade.
but.....
What is the deal with the 'library' in this world?
In his soul form, Genji scratched his head. Well, getting in wasn't too difficult; it was like an inanimate object. With enough force and a little manipulation, it could always get in. But...
Where's the bookshelf?
Gensou looked around with a head full of questions. Before, whether in Mondstadt or Fushimizu, the standard feature upon entering the 'library' was endless bookshelves representing Earth's memories. But here, it was empty, a vast expanse of blank space.
This left Yuanxiang momentarily at a loss, but after a brief hesitation, he decided to continue using 'keywords' to search for relevant information.
"Keywords: Lost Lands"
Yuanxiang calmly uttered the first keyword, and in that instant, he heard a rumbling sound, as if some giant beast was running. This immediately put the boy on alert. But after waiting for a while and not seeing anything strange, he thought for a moment and uttered the second keyword:
"Keyword: Avalon"
"Whew!!"
This time, the terrifying sound was even more frightening. Gengo clenched his fists with a solemn expression, and purple-black data flickered within them, ready to face the enemy that was about to appear in Kamen Rider form at any time. But immediately, Gengo realized that he had thought in the wrong direction. There was no enemy attacking in front of him. Instead, an amazing force came from under his feet, which directly sent him flying into the sky. Without hesitation, Gengo switched his data and transformed into Kamen Rider Cyclone, floating in the air.
Then, Yuanxiang witnessed an unimaginable scene: he had just been standing on a giant book, and as the keywords appeared, the giant book was slowly turning the pages, leading him to the answer he wanted.
However, the 'hurricane' brought about by the turning of the pages was also a fierce impact on Gensou. Although the cracks did not bleed in his soul state, the intense pain was not reduced much.
And as the pages turned faster and faster, the impact became more and more astonishing, like a tidal wave. Genji couldn't help but recall the impact of the two planets he had experienced when he fought against Goetia. Although the intensity was not quite there, it was similar.
So, how much longer do I have to turn these pages? I can't take it anymore...
Yuanxiang struggled to hold on, but after realizing the extent of his own cracks, the boy decided that if the giant book didn't stop in ten seconds, he would give up the search. In any case, it was not worth making himself suffer more in order to heal himself.
However, Gensou was lucky. When the countdown reached the ninth second, the book finally stopped. But at the same time, a strong gravitational force came from the open pages, trying to pull Gensou up. Gensou didn't resist much, after all, he was there to look things up.
However, the moment the book touched the page, Gensou's expression suddenly changed. Without hesitation, he severed the connection with the 'library' and returned to reality. He clutched his head and repeatedly banged it against the wall to relieve his splitting headache.
The reason is simple: the amount of information was terrifying. Even with just his toes touching the ground, Yuanxiang felt as if someone had pried open his skull and was dumping things into it. If he didn't react in time, the end result would either be that he would be overloaded and become a babbling idiot, or he would lose too many memories and become a bookish nerd who knew nothing.
"Yuanxiang, what's wrong? Answer me, don't scare me."
Touma Kamiyama quickly grabbed Gengo's shoulder to stop him from banging his head against the wall, repeatedly asking him what was wrong. Gengo waved his hand and said softly:
"When the world splits apart, a dazzling light overlaps with two dragons, revealing the path to the World's Gorge. In the rift of time, the King sleeps. When the sword connects the thirteen stories, it will reach the World's Gorge..."
After saying that, Yuanxiang took a deep breath and pressed his temples, saying:
"These are the clues about the lost land 'Avalon.' I'm sorry, my mind is a mess right now, so this is all I can come up with, but..."
Yuanxiang held up his finger, spinning it around as he said:
"As Reika Kamishiro just mentioned, Daichi Kamijou and Medig are also seeking the power of the Lost Land. Considering his desire to seize Mr. Kamiyama's Mystic Ride Book and the Holy Sword, I think the 'two dragons' might refer to Kamen Rider Saber's Braved Dragon Mystic Ride Book and Kamen Rider calibur's Jaakudragon Mystic Ride Book. You also said that 'Avalon' is a place that swordsmen cannot reach. Could this statement mean something like that? According to the concept of 'the rift in time,' does the Lost Land exist in some other dimension? As for anything else, I'm sorry, I can't think of anything else right now."
"'Thirteen stories' may represent thirteen fantasy books."
At this moment, Touma Kamiyama took over the conversation, took the book from Kento Fukamiya, showed it to everyone, and said earnestly:
