I have a map editor

"Um"

Several people nodded.

"You ran away from home because you had a quarrel with Merry," Naomi added.

"Yes," Hope admitted generously, and continued, "And I didn't just run away from home. I was angry at the time, so I climbed over the barbed wire in the Covede Forest and ran into the misty realm."

"what!"

"real or fake!?"

"No way!?"

Several girls exclaimed in surprise.

"These are not the main points. Do you know how I got out?"

"I remember that it seemed that it was Merry who found you, but I don't know if she found you from the Mist Realm..."

Emily said, but she reacted quickly and realized something immediately. She covered her mouth in surprise again: "...You mean, it was Lucas who found you!?"

"Yeah, my mom found me, but she was trapped in the mist with me. And do you know why, in the past two hundred years of recorded history, only about two hundred people have survived from it around the world?"

"I know, because there are all kinds of monsters and bizarre phenomena in it, and according to the descriptions of the survivors, almost everyone has experienced different monsters and environments, with no rules or similarities at all. The most important thing is that once you enter the Mist, it is difficult to tell the direction and find the exit. Only one lucky person in ten thousand can find the exit alive. This is also the reason why the armies and expedition teams of the Federation and other countries that entered to explore were annihilated. So since the end of World War II, there has been no official exploration of the Mist. Occasionally there are some desperate people who want to get rich, but once these people enter, they are never heard from again. They should have died in there."

Naomi raised her hand and spoke rapidly, like a cannon.

0007

The activity room was silent again for a few seconds, and Carolina bit her fingers and looked at Hope.

"So, what you want to tell us is...?"

"Have you ever seen a cowboy movie?" Hope interrupted her and asked.

Several girls nodded. How could they not have seen a cowboy movie when they were in the Flower Country?

"Lucas killed the monsters in the misty land, which was much more exaggerated than the cowboy movies. The reason why my mother protected him so much was not because she was worried that others would hurt him, but to avoid making him angry. Think about it, even the army was annihilated, but he was able to bring me and Merry out safely. What do you think Amy's family can do to such a person?"

"He...he actually came out of the misty realm? I had no idea..." Emily's focus was obviously different from that of the other three girls. Although she was equally shocked, she was full of surprise and unexpectedness.

The folk customs of the Flower Kingdom attach great importance to personal heroism. Coupled with the media hype and exaggeration of folk legends, every survivor who returns from the foggy realm is full of legends.

"Veterans who have been to the battlefield often die in street gunfights... There is no comparison. That Asian... Lucas... He is just a person."

Although Carolina was shocked, she still didn't think Lucas had any advantages.

This is America's homologue, the Flower Kingdom, and it's the 1980s, an earlier era with more disorder. Vicious (meow) incidents like street gunfights are commonplace even for little girls like them. It's not surprising to know some of the details, as they are often reported in newspapers or on the news.

Hope mentioned cowboy movies, equating Lucas' abilities to the gunfights in old-school movies.

In action movies of this era, whether it is gun battles or action scenes, the fighting and combat are very rigid.

"That's because you haven't seen how he kills monsters. Never mind. There's no point in telling you this. It's hard to believe if you haven't seen it with your own eyes. Anyway, the army was defeated, and he was able to bring me and my mother out. This is the best proof."

"I'm more curious about the monster inside," Maggie listened with great interest. Naomi beside her nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and it seemed that she was also interested in the topic.

Fantasy fan.

Adventure, treasure and a happy ending, these in themselves constitute the three elements of a complete story. Even after ten or twenty years, it will still be the standard structure of a Hollywood movie.

With their interruptions, the topic was unknowingly diverted. Hope talked for a while about her experiences in the misty realm and the types of monsters she discovered, satisfying their curiosity about fantasy creatures before returning to her original train of thought.

"You know he's rich, right?"

"Yeah," Emily nodded.

"I don't know," Carolina, Maggie and Naomi shook their heads. They didn't live in East Town, and because Emily was not at home this summer, they didn't visit her, so they didn't know about the high-tech villa next door to her house.

"Lucas rebuilt a large villa next to Emily's house. I estimate that it cost several million dollars, maybe even tens of millions."

Other students might be surprised. In this small circle, Carolina, Maggie and Naomi are all from wealthy families. Their local residences are no longer villas, but manors with artificial lakes and even a large private hunting ground. Therefore, they are indifferent to Hope's speculation.

It was not until Emily said, "Lucas's villa is very avant-garde and beautiful. It has many novel designs and is very comfortable to live in. I'll take you to visit it some other day" that the three girls became somewhat interested.

"That's because he found a gold mine in the Land of Mist. Unfortunately, we can't bring too much gold with us in order to escape. However, with this as a start-up fund, Lucas has already started his own business in the city of Rossanki. The profits are very considerable. By next year, our state will have another Chinese multimillionaire."

……

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it seriously, except that the listener was not in the activity room where the young ladies were gathering.

A dark figure sat in the darkness of the next storeroom, listening to the clear conversation coming through the ventilation window on the wall, muttering in a voice that only he could hear:

"...gold..."

"…The Land of Mist…"

"...It turns out that you are just a vain girl..."

……

After Lucas got up in the morning, he simply washed up and went out for some morning exercises.

There are some stone paths around the low mountain where the villa is located. You don’t need to run too far. Just running around the residential area a dozen times will achieve the purpose of exercise.

After coming back, I took a shower, threw my sweaty clothes into the washing machine, changed into clean casual clothes, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

By the time he finished breakfast, it was around 7: in the morning.

Emily also finished tidying up and came out of her room. When she saw Lucas, she smiled and said "good morning" while opening her arms and throwing herself into his arms to greet him.

Last night she did not go home on time, but returned from school after 10 o'clock. All her sisters except Carolina did the same.

10 o'clock in the evening is just the beginning of the nightlife for young sea kings like Carolina and students of the same type as her.

The school's storage rooms, groves, and dim places in various venues are all suitable locations for their actions.

Lucas didn't go to bed until she came back.

Lucas thought that a cheek kiss would be enough, but Emily was very enthusiastic. Adolescent girls are very sensitive. In order to avoid her feeling that he was perfunctory, Lucas had to reluctantly open his mouth slightly.

He could taste the toothpaste in her mouth, which he brought from his own world...

After the intimacy, Emily was willing to let him go, and sat in her seat with an unsatisfied smile on her face.

"I thought a teenager like you would be a bed-hungry person. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Why do you talk like an old guy? Thanks to someone, I slept early and soundly last night."

Because he had already tamed her eating habits, Lucas only needed to cook according to his daily routine. In addition, Emily had been staying at his place for the past two days. As a tool person who might not even be considered a "spare tire", this kind of thing had happened countless times during his pursuit of Claire, so there was no need to avoid it.

Although the nature has definitely changed now...

I don’t know what happened at the student party last night. After returning home last night, Emily suddenly changed into an almost transparent gauze pajamas and opened the door of his room. Fortunately, her attitude was not very firm, and Lucas coaxed her back.

So naturally you can sleep early and soundly.

Lucas chuckled, pretending not to understand what she meant. This kid, with her parents away, just let herself go, letting her hormones take over. Lucas was actually looking forward to the first day of school. After all, Emily was not the kind of helpless salute who "came here anyway". It was not an exaggeration to describe her as a young, beautiful and sexy girl. He changed the subject calmly.

"I'm going to the shooting range to practice shooting today. Do you want to come with me?"

Emily poured herself a cup of tea, and when she saw that Lucas didn't have any in front of him, she poured him one, too.

Picking up the teacup, she took a sip of tea. She was very happy to hear her lover's invitation, but when she heard that they were going to the shooting range, her brows frowned.

"Isn't it that Vitnam-themed shooting range?"

"Yeah, you know, I'm a member there, what's the matter?"

"You know, I'm a little scared of that old guy.

, I always feel that he is weird and gives me the creeps"

Oldman should be neutral in spoken language, not disrespectful or derogatory, just like teenager.

Emily was talking about the operator of the shooting range, a middle-aged man with a big beard and a strong smell of sweat. Lucas knew, of course, that Emily hated or was afraid of him. She had expressed such emotions when he took her there for shooting before.

"Then I'll go by myself. Is it okay for you to stay home alone?"

Emily knew that he had the habit of practicing shooting. In the Flower Kingdom, this was a very common hobby and outdoor sport...it should be considered a sport.

"I'm still not going... I happen to have dance and vocal lessons today, and I want to ask the teachers to come to my house, is that okay?"

Asking Lucas for advice obviously meant inviting people to his house.

"No problem. You have access to my place. You are the teacher named Alison, right?"

"Um"

As they talked, the two started to eat breakfast, which was porridge and pickles, low in fat and calories, very light and refreshing. And one look at Emily's figure, you know that the girls of Flower Country are not lacking in nutrition for breakfast.

After breakfast, Emily took the initiative to take care of the housework and smiled as she asked Lucas to go out and come back early.

Of course, there were the inevitable hugs and kisses before they parted temporarily. Lucas also asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch and waited for him to make it when he got home.

……

We drove out of the house, went down the hill, and circled along the streets of Dongcheng Town, apparently heading towards the shooting range.

Lucas restrained the expression on his face, slowed down the car, and took out his cell phone while driving.

In this world, without electronic technology, there is naturally no mobile phone network. Mobile phones are merely advanced camera, video and electronic storage devices.

However, his mobile phone is a bit special. In essence, he is still an ordinary person, but he has some not-so-ordinary props, many of which have special functions that can only be realized with the help of a mobile phone.

For example, there is a special item called [Eye of Truth].

[Eye of Truth (2/3)]: Place a reconnaissance eye that can see through invisibility in the designated area. The reconnaissance eye itself is invisible and can continuously observe the surrounding area for 24 hours.

As an ordinary person, Lucas couldn't see the images observed by the Eye of Detection through "Vision", nor could he perceive any special information from the Eye of Detection in his mind, but he could do it through the screen of his mobile phone.

The images observed by the Eye of Investigation can be played through his mobile phone.

[Eye of Truth] is now in (2/3) status, which means it can be used three times and has already been used once.

That (1/3) was placed by him in Meili's police car when he returned from Meili's home last night.

Based on his understanding of Meili, this woman with strong execution and action capabilities, would take action today after receiving the information from him last night.

It's not that I don't trust her abilities, nor do I doubt what she says. During my time with her, she has proven her abilities with many practical actions.

Lucas just wasn't used to putting his fate in the hands of others, and he was also a little worried about her safety.

From the mobile phone screen, we can see that Meili is already on the road, and his direction is not where the county bureau is.

As a Lieutenant, her working hours are very flexible... except that her overall working hours are not flexible. However, during this time in the morning, she usually stays in the county office to handle some clerical work.

There are only three roads connected to East Town, and with some reference points, Lucas quickly determined which road she was on.

He immediately turned and followed.

This world has no mobile phone network and naturally no maps or location functions. If it were his world, American should have developed the GPS function by this time period, but there is not even an electronics industry here, so his mobile phone naturally cannot determine Merry's exact location through the positioning function.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the surrounding roads.

While driving, Lucas paid attention to the direction of Merry's movement on the phone screen. The scene of him and Emily being intimate at home in the morning appeared in front of his eyes. He seemed to be able to smell her body fragrance... but it only lasted for a dozen seconds, and he quickly reacted.

"Shet..."

He let out a breath. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with himself for being distracted, he did not feel angry.

On the contrary, there is a feeling of pride in my heart.

There used to be a saying, "What exactly do you like about me? I will change it"; in his current situation, it would be "What exactly does Emily like about him? He has no idea and has no intention of changing it."

However, he had already realized where his problem lay, so he focused his mind and stopped thinking about it. He concentrated on driving and paying attention to the screen on his phone.

On the way, just like yesterday, he put on wrist guards on his limbs and dull rings inlaid with seven-colored gems on the middle fingers of both hands, but today there was an additional ring inlaid with dark gems on the index finger of his left hand.

……

Merry drove through several small towns.

They were already out of the area Lucas was familiar with.

In a larger town, she drove off the main road.

By this time Lucas was already chasing after her, using the buildings on both sides of the street as cover, following her.

In the picture, he saw Merry stopped at what seemed to be

In the parking lot in front of the store building.
