What she didn't expect was that the author then spent one-third of the space writing about daily love life, and in the end a villain suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took away the protagonist's resurrected lover.
The final scene is the protagonist running wildly on the prairie, accompanied by a string of literary dialogues:
"But no matter how big a dragon is, it's just an earthworm on the grassland!"
"His tears flowed from his vertical pupils, ran down his gray-scaled cheeks, and fell into the deep green grass."
"He ran for five thousand meters on an empty stomach, but he couldn't catch up with his resurrected lover."
"..."
After reading this, Xingmo deeply regretted not throwing the book away when she saw the title.
It doesn't seem like something a human could write.
Who on earth published this kind of book...
Xingmo threw the book back onto the shelf, sighed, and picked and chose on the shelf, trying to find another book to read.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt an itch on her neck.
As a senior wizard, Xingmo quickly realized that this was the prompt of inspiration at the physical level.
She immediately activated her spiritual vision, turned her head, and saw a green light spreading outside the carriage door.
Is that a sign of life?
Xingmo immediately stood up, drew out his wand, and leaned against the door, guarding it.
On the bed, Aurora quietly popped out two eyes from under the quilt and stared at the door.
"There's something bad going on." Aurora's voice sounded in Xingmo's mind.
Xing Mo nodded, then closed her eyes and used her inspiration to sense the movement of the green light.
The green light only stayed at the door of Xingmo and Aurora's box for a moment before continuing to move forward.
Soon, it crossed the entire corridor and headed to another carriage.
Realizing that the crisis seemed to be temporarily resolved, Xing Mo said:
"What it is?"
"Something similar to yours." Aurora stood up and began to put on her clothes.
"Similar to me?" Xingmo wondered.
"Ah, a familiar! Aren't you our familiar?" Aurora whispered. "Its authority is the adjacent realm of 'Life'."
Dependents from the realm of life? Xing Mo's mind seemed to explode with thunder.
According to what Principal Merlin had read on the murals in the Giant King's Court, there were three powers over "life" in this world.
They are "Tree of Life", "Lost Kingdom", and "Song of the Sand".
The "Lost Kingdom", which is the follower of the "Invisible Mist", is the "Song of Death", which Xingmo has seen several times.
The aura of that thing just now was very hidden, obviously not the "Song of Death".
Then, it is most likely a follower under the authority of "Song of Sand"!
So soon? According to the time, the Imperial ambassador should have just landed...
Could it be that you are here for me?
"I have to go check it out," Xing Mo whispered, "This train won't arrive for another three days. If something unexpected happens on the way..."
Well... best case scenario, they'd have to hike across half of Winter County.
"Understood," Aurora waved her hand lazily, "We still need to sleep a little longer..."
"I made hot cocoa for you. Heat it up and drink it when you wake up." Xingmo pointed to the table.
"Good~"
Aurora said, narrowing her eyes and opening her arms towards Xingmo:
"Come here~"
"Hmm?" Xing Mo frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
"Just come over here," Aurora urged.
Xing Mo hesitated for a moment, but still chose to walk to the bed and look down at the little ancestor.
The little girl was wearing a nightgown with half of her shoulders exposed, and in the faint morning light she seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.
“Come closer.” Aurora waved again.
"What are you going to do?" Xingmo shrank his neck back.
"Come over here just because I told you to." Aurora said impatiently.
Xingmo swallowed and stretched her face forward.
Aurora cupped Xingmo's face with both hands, then raised her chin—
"Bo~" He kissed Xingmo on the forehead.
"Well..."
Xing Mo was startled when she realized that Aurora was looking at her with a smile:
"This is the god's blessing to his followers. It's just a way of showing concern for you. There's no other meaning."
Who asked you?
Xing Mo smiled helplessly and rubbed Aurora's head.
"Okay, go to sleep."
"Oh~"
Aurora slid back into the quilt and curled up into a round ball on the bed.
Xingmo turned and walked towards the box door, while reaching out and touching the kiss mark on her head.
Later she realized that her face was a little hot...
Is it because it was too cold in the morning and the body was reacting?
"..."
After Xing Mo left the box, a crack appeared in the quilt on the bed, and a pair of eyes looked out from inside.
Then, he murmured in frustration:
"Why doesn't there seem to be any reaction..."
......
When he arrived at the corridor, Xingmo immediately turned on his spiritual vision and quickly scanned one side along the way.
This time, she found no trace of "life".
How strange...
Xing Mo looked at the window on the side of the corridor and saw that the fields outside the window were quickly transitioning from green to white, accompanied by snowflakes falling from the sky.
She leaned over to the window and looked out. Amidst the heavy snow, a series of white mountain ranges had appeared on the horizon, like the spines of dead beasts exposed on the ground.
Now, we have officially entered the edge of Winter County.
But it will take some time to reach the human settlement on the border of Mortiheim.
This land is located between the Republic of France and the Machiavelli Empire. It has always been sparsely populated and the territorial divisions are relatively scattered, making it a certain degree of autonomy.
In other words, it is a lawless place to a certain extent.
This is why Xingmo wants to confirm the current situation. If the Golden King's followers really get on the train and have any ideas about her, she will be unable to escape.
Besides, there are many passengers on the bus.
"..."
So, Xingmo walked along the corridor, heading towards the direction where the clan left the last trace.
She passed through four carriages in a row, constantly searching for traces of her clan, but she no longer found any traces of the realm of life.
Escaped? But why?
As she walked, Xingmo found herself in the dining car at the front of the train. The mixed aroma of croissants and coffee hit her face, making her stomach growl.
The appetite comes.
Xingmo rubbed her stomach, struggled symbolically for a while, then walked to the ordering counter and ordered herself a croissant with jam and a cup of hot coffee.
After ordering, she turned around and prepared to find a seat for herself when she heard a greeting:
"Good morning, Miss Jiedeti."
Following the source of the sound, I saw an old man in a yellow robe. He had the dignified demeanor of a scholar, but a gentle smile on his face.
Xingmo had met this old man before in the dining car. His name was Rufus Shamash, a scholar from the Golden Empire.
The old man had just finished an academic conversation in the academy and was preparing to return to the empire, so he was traveling the same way as Xingmo and they started chatting by chance.
However, the name Xing Mo reported to him was not her real name, nor was it the pseudonym "Xing Sheng", but a new name - Jie Daiti.
Jiedeti Li, this time set to be a mixed-race of Messina and Yanxia people, is a doctor.
The purpose of going to Winter County is to investigate some unpopular diseases - which are usually caused by the peculiarities of "Motiheim".
"Mr. Luffy," Xingmo said with a smile, sitting down opposite the old man. "How are you? Are the previous symptoms still occurring?"
"It's much better now, thanks to you for helping me find the root of the problem," Luffy said kindly, "That rain allowed me to sleep for a long time..."
That's right, Mr. Luffy was also a victim of the "October Rain" and suffered from the root of his illness because of that incident.
In that incident, which was officially explained as an invasion by alien gods, many people developed problems due to their lives being briefly taken away.
Mr. Luffy, for example, was left with a migraine.
Of course, Xingmo knew how to solve this problem:
Essentially, this disease is caused by the uneven separation and fusion of life and soul, and all you need to do is adjust your own spiritual power.
She told Mr. Luffy about this method, and it seems to have been well received.
Start playing the role of an excellent doctor in advance! Xing Mo gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
"I'm glad you're okay," Xingmo smiled. "Speaking of which, we should be there soon, right?"
"I'll take you there soon," the old man said, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Given the current situation, a girl from the Citadel arriving in Winter County alone might be targeted."
"No, no, I'm just a three-string wizard after all," Xing Mo smiled modestly, "I still have the ability to protect myself."
"As you Yanxia people say, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake," Luffy quoted from the classics. "With me, a Golden People, escorting you, you will be safer... Ah... I am tired of war. For hundreds of years, even the storms on the sea cannot cool the gold that emerged from the desert..."
Mr. Luffy started mumbling again. As a Golden Citizen, he should belong to the minority of anti-war people and believed that the war against Falu was inhumane.
This is also the reason why Xingmo is willing to spend time communicating with him. First, perhaps she can get some help when searching for the "Golden Sun Wheel" god's residence later. Second, she wants to understand the different people in another country.
During the conversation, Xingmo learned that Mr. Luffy had a high social status in New Galo. If she wanted to look for the shrine in the future, it would be important to have a local friend.
Also, Xingmo saw another side of the Imperials from Mr. Luffy—not all Imperials were violent.
"..."
At this time, Xingmo's breakfast was brought over by the flight attendant. After thanking her, she began to enjoy the croissant.
The taste is very good, and as a food truck food, it is already one of the best.
After finishing eating, I continued to search the carriage ahead to see if I could find any trace of that clan...
Huh? Oh, right, you can ask Mr. Luffy.
Xingmo thought so and raised her head, ready to ask Mr. Luffy if he had observed anything unusual.
But at this moment, the train suddenly let out a long whistle, and the wheels rubbed against the rails, and the sparks could even be seen outside the window.
What's going on? Xingmo subconsciously drew out her wand and stood up.
Almost at the same time, the door of the dining car was thrown open, and several people who looked like train police rushed in, shouting:
"The rear of the train has been invaded by robbers! All passengers please stay in the carriages and do not move around until the danger is over!"
Robbers invading!? Xing Mo instantly became alert, because she knew this matter must be serious.
