Terra's Magnetic Field

This scene was like returning to that night more than ten years ago, when Horus recalled the time when he was being chased.

He was also holding the child now. The child was much bigger and heavier than when he was a baby, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Finally, Horus was driven to the edge of a cliff just like before. Looking at the deep valley ahead and the threatening pursuers behind him, Horus chose the former without hesitation. He jumped into the deep valley with his adopted daughter in his arms. When the pursuers behind caught up with him, they were no longer visible.

This time, Horus was not caught by the tree trunk again. He suddenly lost consciousness when he fell down again. When he woke up, he found himself in a cave with his adopted daughter. The cave had obvious signs of artificial excavation, with glowing ancient texts and murals carved everywhere, and various strange stone statues placed in the corners, just like the residence of the legendary wizard.

Horus saw from afar a woman sitting on a stone seat deep in the cave. The woman was wearing a strange white robe (white coat), a red and white striped bow tie at the collar, and had brown hair and purple eyes.

Horus did not panic. He carried his unconscious adopted daughter to the front of the stone seat. He thought he was dead and the woman in front of him was the goddess of the underworld.

He half-knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said devoutly:

"I have done too many wrong things in my life. Even though I tried my best to make amends, God still didn't let me go. Perhaps this final defeat is my punishment..."

Horus pleaded:

"Goddess of the underworld, I don't care what kind of punishment I receive, but please let this child next to me live. She is kind-hearted and has never killed, stolen, insulted, cheated, or plundered. She deserves a better life. If you cannot agree, then please use the scales to decide and let her be reborn into a good family in the next life..."

The woman on the stone seat chuckled after hearing this. She held her chin with one hand, looked at the respectful man at the bottom of the stairs with a playful look, and said:

"Of course I'm happy if you worship me as a god, but I'm not a god from the underworld. I won't touch that kind of unlucky stuff. Even if I were a god, I would only be the supreme one, like the sun!"

Horus was confused by the woman's words. If she was not the goddess of the underworld, then what was she? Why did she save him?

The woman seemed to see through Horus's thoughts. She pointed at Horus and said:

"I am the founder of the civilization of this land. In every era, I will select people who have the potential to become strong and give them divine power to see what choices they will make. Most of them will have their minds eaten away by incomprehensible power and become crazy tyrants. Only a few can resist the corruption of power and become saints and heroes..."

"What would you be?"

"Divine power? Tyrant? Hero?..." These abstract concepts made Horus a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Then he noticed that the adopted daughter beside him coughed and spat out some blood plasma that splashed onto the ground. This should be because her internal organs were damaged when she fell. In this era with underdeveloped medical conditions, such injuries can only lead to death.

In desperation, Horus said, "It doesn't matter what kind of divine power you have. Strength and power are not what I want, but please save this child! If you can really give her divine power, then saving her life should be a piece of cake."

"What if I don't?" the woman teased, her eyes narrowed.

"If I do whatever you tell me to do, wouldn't that make me lose face?"

The woman seemed to suddenly think of something. She clapped her hands and said, "How about this! I've come up with another fun idea. You can choose to transfer the power I should have given you to this girl, but you will have to bear the consequences yourself. I'll make it clear in advance that even an adult's mind may not be able to withstand this power, but at present this is the only way to save her life, so..."

Horus saw through the nature of this woman. She was just a scum who treated human lives as toys, but now he had no choice but to rely on her.

"Okay! Give her the power and let her survive..."

"Ha!" The woman chuckled. She raised her right hand and released electric current. After the electric current was injected into the girl's body, it would transform her body into a structure that could accommodate huge energy, allowing her to achieve a true "rebirth".

In the dazzling electric light, the girl on the ground expanded rapidly and eventually turned into a tall and strong woman. The divine power completely transformed her into a higher life form that was completely different from ordinary people.

What will happen to this era ruled by the Lynx King in the end?

That’s all for today.

Postscript: I mentioned the weird express delivery cases I encountered before, and I encountered another one recently. It happened when I was selling an old item on a second-hand trading platform. I agreed with the buyer that I would pay for the shipping fee (free shipping).

Then on the day of delivery, the courier asked me to walk from the innermost part of the community to the main gate to "greet" him, because he didn't want to drive around the community (it's about four or five hundred meters from my building to the gate, and the community I live in is quite old, so I have to climb stairs to go up and down). The courier was a young man in his early twenties, probably a "temporary worker" like the previous ones. After taking my things, he shook them a few times and asked what they were, then casually threw my things under the seat and drove away with his car proudly.

Later, the buyer scolded me after receiving the goods, saying that I sent the goods naked. I then realized that the BYD courier sent the goods directly in the same condition as I gave them, without any paper box or bubble wrap. Is this worth the tens of dollars I spent? Who can I complain to? I feel so frustrated.

Anyway, this experience is really annoying. These days, sending things is just like drawing cards. If you meet a responsible person who can pack it for you,

Well, if you meet an irresponsible person, it will be a mess. (When sending things in Rhode Island, you have to see whether you meet Aneng or Degou. The delivery experience of these two can be said to be very different)

Another time, I was selling folding chairs for the elderly. I sold them for over a hundred yuan, but the shipping cost was only forty or fifty yuan. I was completely blamed.

It's as if the weirdos in this world just happen to meet me once in a while, and this is also something that has always puzzled me.

Chapter 435: Sister Ai Bu

"I...I locked her up?!"

"Sareya, hold on! Razer and Franka, go help! Damn it! Why is this guy with only 250,000 horses so strong?!"

"Hemer, haven't you figured out the spell to take back her power?! Hurry up! We can't hold on any longer!"

"This stone tablet contains ancient texts that are almost lost! Even with Rhine Life's most advanced translation machine, it would take more than ten minutes... before that..."

"hurry up!"

"I can't hold it in anymore......"

"With a calm mind and a strong body, a warrior who masters these can become a hero who saves this land... Not this part! The warning of the terror of death and evil when the sacred seal is broken... Not this part either... Come on! The sword of the giant that burns the earth and dries up the sea... Which part is it?! Ah! It must be this! The power of fire and lightning combined to suppress the behemoth... When the sacred spring dries up, a mournful warrior appears with lightning and the sun is buried in darkness... It doesn't seem right..."

"It's translated! Let her say Priestess backwards!"

"How did you do that??!"

"Sareya, hack into her brain! You can do it with your skills!! Force her to chant the spell, hurry up! Go!"

“I’ve never done this before…”

"Then we will all die!!"

"Fight!"

"Franka, it seems we succeeded..."

“This is… a child? ……………Is this her true appearance?”

"Employee Hemer reports to headquarters, number RL03 has been suppressed... Please send troops to escort and recover it as soon as possible... Saria has lost consciousness..."

........................................................................

……………………………………………………………

"How long ago was this? ... How long have I been lying there?"

As soon as Saria opened her eyes, she saw the white ceiling of the ward. She remembered that the last time she came here was because she was knocked unconscious by Skadi. This time, she was stabbed in the abdomen by Skadi...

Skadi, Skadi, Skadi's... who is that woman? Why do I always feel so familiar with her?

Saria subconsciously touched her belly, the smooth touch came through the bandages, the big hole in her abdomen had healed itself while she was unconscious.

As long as the injury was not fatal, Saria could recover overnight by sleeping straight and eating high-quality steaks. But her cell reorganization ability was not so strong when she was conscious, just like her power was easier to use when she was unconscious, and her rationality played a limiting role.

Saria was too lazy to think about this. She was not the kind of person like Hemer who liked to dig into things.

Saria did not rush to get off the bed, but skillfully took out the TV remote control from the drawer of the bedside table on the right, turned on the TV and tuned in. The first channel that was turned on by default in the Rhode Island ward was the news channel. Saria was able to tell from the small clock in the upper right corner that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

Saria watched Kolshiel's mouth opening and closing on TV. This vampire would broadcast some trivial content every day. Saria felt bored and turned to the next channel. This time it was a documentary about nature with the tropical rainforest of Sargon in the background.

This reminded Saria of what happened in that backward and primitive country more than ten years ago, and also reminded her of what happened after she first met Razer and Franka.

That was not actually a pleasant memory. After that, whenever Saria thought about it, she would get a headache. Over time, she chose to forget those bad things.

She didn't need to think about what happened in the past, she just had to look forward. At least she was now living a relatively stable life with her "family" in Rhodes Island, which was more valuable and meaningful than anything else.

Even if her so-called family was just put together temporarily, there was no telling how long this fragile connection could last... Saria felt as if she was walking on foam on the water, not knowing when the foam under her feet would disappear, and dreams would also end one day.

Ifrit cannot remain a child forever, and Hemer cannot always accompany her like this. Sooner or later, she will have to face the inevitable separation and loneliness in life.

As her master once said, "Our lives are much longer than those of ordinary people, which also leads to a great difference between our life plans and those of ordinary people. The long life span allows us to choose a much slower pace of life than ordinary people, and also gives us time to hesitate and escape repeatedly. But the slowing down of time does not mean that it will not pass. What is coming will always come..."

It seemed that there was no time left for Saria to hesitate or escape. She had been hiding in Rhodes Island for more than ten years, and finally the inevitable thing caught up with her.

"Hemer said leadership

I haven’t thought about the battle carefully, and I haven’t even thought about what this battle means to me…” Saria felt dazed again. She looked out the window at the gloomy sky, which looked like it would rain at any time.

Every time it was about to rain, Saria would have a strange sense of familiarity, as if her master was still alive and by her side. In Saria's memory, Xiaoer's appearance was always accompanied by strong winds and dark clouds, and his gloomy expression and tall body gave people a full sense of oppression.

If the strong can really reflect their state of mind on the color of the sky, then Xiao Er has probably never been truly happy, right?

Just like now…………………………

In the highest observation tower on Rhodes Island, a fat raven was circling more than ten meters above the top of the tower. Just below her was a black-haired young Lupert leaning against the railing.

The young man looked down with an indifferent expression, overlooking everything on the island.

"Huh..." The young man took a deep breath, and his appearance changed into that of a white-haired Lupert man under the stimulation of the electric current. He took another breath and turned into a white-haired, golden-horned dragon man. He took another breath and turned into Huolin with black hair and red eyes.

(Shanshui's skin is bundled with Didi and cannot be unlocked for the time being)

These were his past identities. His biggest confusion now is how to face the people he once knew. Reason tells him that he should keep a distance from those people now, but his emotional side can hardly control the urge to get closer.

In the end, his appearance was fixed on a white-haired Rupert man.

"Humans are emotional creatures, but they always want to restrain themselves with ideals... Don't you think this is contradictory?" A melodious female voice came from the sky.

The fat raven rolled in the air into a black tornado, and landed behind the man, transforming into a sixteen-year-old platinum-haired girl. She hugged the white-haired Rupert man from behind and called out affectionately:

"Dear Mario Laplander?..."

"It's strange that you still call me that." Mario smiled crookedly, his tone full of teasing towards the girl behind him. They have been old friends for decades, and they can guess what the other is thinking without telepathy.

"You don't like being called Boss, and calling you Waiter is disrespectful, so after much thought I decided to call you that." Fran released her arms that were hugging Mario. She nimbly flipped to the outside of the railing, and paced on the edge of the watchtower, which was less than half a meter wide, with her hands behind her back, hopping around, looking elegant and playful.

"Do you know? People always have an impulse, that is, the higher they stand, the more they want to jump down. Ordinary people can't fly, but this instinct exists in their brains for a long time. Why is it?"

After listening to Fran's words, Mario said thoughtfully:

"Maybe it's because they can only survive by jumping down? ... Because when they think about the consequences of jumping down, most people will stay in the high place obediently."

"It's a very conventional answer. Can't you be a little more romantic?"

Fran was not satisfied with Mario's answer and followed her with her own opinion:

"I think it's a kind of longing. When people look down at the earth from a high place and see a place that is beyond the reach of the naked eye, they want to go there directly, so they have the urge to jump down. People don't actually want to fly, they just want to fall, to get closer to the distant ground in an instant."

"like this……"

Fran suddenly leaned forward, her lips touching Mario's at a very fast speed. Was her previous topic just to distract Mario's attention? So that she could take advantage of the opportunity?

Mario also paused for a thousandth of a second at Fran's bold move, but it was enough time for Fran to kiss him.

Finally, Fran's lips brushed past the corner of Mario's mouth and touched his cold cheek. Her light kiss made Mario's face itchy, as if being pecked by a bird, and a burst of girl's warmth and fragrance came.

Fran smiled mischievously after the kiss, but Mario said nothing.

"Haha~ Are you scared? You must be wondering why I didn't take the opportunity to kiss you? The thing you dreamed of was right in front of you... so close... I obviously touched you, and I obviously kissed you, but I still didn't feel love..."

"This doesn't make any sense, does it?" Fran stood outside the railing and Mario was inside the railing. Although their faces were very close, there was an obvious "barrier" between their bodies.

"If I get too close, you will just be scared and step back. This is not what I want. Let the longing remain..."

Fran loosened his grip on the railing, leaned back, and fell lightly into the air over the edge. A few pitch-black crow feathers rose up.

Mario knew that she must have turned into a flock of crows.

He always knows.

They have been very close to each other countless times, but their hearts have always been far away. Perhaps their relationship is based on one party's pursuit of the other, and this longing is the foundation of maintaining the relationship.

"well!----------"

Mario sighed, looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. Raindrops of varying sizes began to fall from the sky, and the rain gradually got heavier.

Let this noisy rain swallow up everything below...

In the pouring rain, a transport ship from Victoria landed at the port of Rhode Island. The door of the ship opened and two Drakes in light beige coats walked out.

These are the "Aibu sisters" that Nian and Tallulah mentioned frequently before.

Abrana and Ravshini, on the surface, are the leaders of the "Deep Pool", an armed organization in the Tara region, but in fact, the sisters have always been the leaders of the private soldiers of Thor Industries. With their clean and neat style and ruthless means, they have been recognized by the years early on.

Just after dealing with a family of Thor Industries that intended to rebel, the Aibu sisters received new instructions from Nian, asking them to rush to Rhodes Island.

"Really... this weather is really unromantic. It started to rain heavily when it saw us sisters coming," Ablana pulled out two large umbrellas from the car behind her and handed one to her beloved sister. Their large umbrellas could well ensure that the tucked-in tails would not get wet.

"Perhaps the rain keeps falling because the queen is frightened by her sister's aura," Ravshini agreed. She was always generous in praising her sister. In her opinion, her sister was the most qualified person in the world to sit on the Victoria throne.

How could the clever sisters of Ab see through Nian's preference for Tallulah? Even if the three of them were all Drakes, Nian would still support Tallulah to take the throne. If the sisters did not make some small moves, they would probably be Tallulah's foil for the rest of their lives.

"Don't say such things to grandma," Abrana warned her sister. Her tone was not blaming, but rather full of love. She reached out and touched her sister's fair, tender and warm face with a doting smile.

"You are too straightforward. Even if you see things clearly, you cannot speak them out. Otherwise, you may be killed."

"Sister..." Ravshini's cheeks turned red. She quickly turned her head away, twisting her hands holding the umbrella together, trying to cover up her mistake.

"Why did Grandma invite us here this time? Does she want us to kill someone who bothers her? How many more people do we have to burn to death before she treats us like she treated Tallulah?"

"I don't know, maybe next time, or maybe never..." Abrana's words were ambiguous.
