reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

The recast "arc" is exactly the same as the wind chime in length, width and even weight.

This is a place completely different from the past.

The old "Arc Light" can be considered a customized modification of Rhodes Island's standard weapon, but it is not entirely a private customization.

The "Wind Chime" was specially crafted for Bai Ye, and it is the sword type that best suits Bai Ye's body and fighting style.

Therefore, this sword design was also used in the reforged "Arc Light".

Aside from that, the biggest difference is that this reforged "Arc Light" is not sharpened.

"You probably need durability more than sharpness? As for the blade... why don't you try using your powers a little?" Nian guided Bai Ye as she grasped her newly reforged "Arc Light".

With a thought, a wind blade appeared on the arc of light, as thin as a cicada's wing, yet incredibly sharp. It formed automatically without Bai Ye even needing to guide it.

"Was a circuit formed directly during casting?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat surprised.

“If you exert even more force, it will become… well, a high-frequency vibration blade, but that will still cause some damage to the weapon itself, so try not to use it for extended periods. Oh, but you can use that wind chime freely,” Nian continued.

"cool."

Bai Ye whistled.

"But it's basically unnecessary—after all, with my strength, as long as it's tough enough, it's fine to use as a fire poker."

Nian nodded; she had already considered this possibility.

For Bai Ye, whether he was killed by a single sword strike or smashed to death by a single sword strike, the result was almost the same.

Furthermore, it's best not to use powers in the world of painting, as this state is the most durable.

“I like this gift very much.”

Bai Ye was delighted that his old friends, who had fought alongside him in the past, were returning.

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after my sister is found."

"So...you're planning to follow us?"

Since we can't act together, the only option is to keep our distance?

Nian smiled and shook his head:

"As avatars, we do have some special abilities. Hmm, when the time comes, you take the token I give you, and once you find my sister, I can teleport there instantly."

As he spoke, he handed a simple, antique-looking casting to Bai Ye.

It looks like a coin or something.

Bai Ye didn't pay any attention and casually tossed it into his inventory.

"Um...no, you have to carry it with you at all times, keep it outside, don't throw it in that separate space." Nian covered her head in distress.

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized:

"Then... I'll take it out when I get close to my destination."

Bai Ye roughly understood what it meant: Nian had planted a ward on him so that he could teleport directly to him later.

However, Bai Ye didn't want all of his whereabouts to be known.

Especially when he's with Laurentina.

That's definitely not very convenient.

"Whatever you want." Nian didn't seem to care.

As long as there's a result, that's fine.

This time, with Bai Ye's help, she is determined to find that guy.

Chapter Ninety-Five: Taking Personal Action

(Today, September 9th, is Nian's birthday!)

-------------------------------------

"While I'm away, I'll leave the core city to you and Titi."

After finalizing the plan, Bai Ye prepared to set off.

Tallulah smiled:

"It's not like it's the first time I've left, why make it so formal..."

Then, the girl said softly:

"However, every time you left before, I was always a little worried. I always felt that if I turned around, you would never come back."

Talulah always had some concerns.

After all, she had always been chasing after Bai Ye's shadow. He went too fast and too far, his eyes held too many things, and he cared about too many things. Talulah didn't know she could catch up with him.

"now what?"

The girl blushed slightly.

"Now... I feel much more at ease. No matter what, I will wait for you to come back."

“Yes, this is my home, and I will always come back. So, before I leave, I will say goodbye very formally.” Bai Ye smiled.

There was something Bai Ye didn't say.

The person who truly wanted to leave simply chose a sunny afternoon, put on their most worn coat, went out the door, and never came back.

Those who are truly leaving are so stingy that they feel even saying goodbye is a waste of time. But those who shout "Hey, I'm leaving!" and keep turning back are just hoping you'll say, "Please stay."

Therefore, Bai Ye never intended to simply leave.

……

"Ahem." Laurentina rolled her eyes. Of everyone present, probably only she and Alina knew what the two of them were talking about.

Bai Ye and Talulah then came to their senses.

"time to go."

Bai Ye nodded to Skadi and Gretia.

He then looked at Nian, flicked the ancient coin Nian had given him into the air with his thumb, and then grabbed it and put it into his inventory.

"All you do is show off," Yelena muttered, but then she pressed her hand to her chest, where a warm stone, which she wore as an ornament, was slowly radiating heat.

Didn't Bai Ye ask Nian to forge an ornament for Yelena before? This is the final result Nian gave, which will help Yelena get rid of the torment caused by the extreme cold as much as possible. Although her body is still cold, it is indeed much better than before.

The craftsmanship of that year was indeed excellent; the necklace that allowed Yelena to feel warmth from within her body was clearly no ordinary piece.

Therefore, in Yelena's mind, the reason Bai Ye went to Da Yan was to have that mysterious guy forge this gift for her.

The girl believed that this was a deal that Bai Ye made for her.

Yelena wouldn't believe Bai Ye's explanation. It's common knowledge that if someone is habitually stubborn, all their explanations will be seen as mere sophistry.

Hmm. Miss Frostnova simply believed that all the reasons Byakuya gave were just a cover for her shyness.

Little did she know, Yelena herself was even more flustered. Since receiving the gift, although she felt more comfortable, she hadn't been sleeping well.

The girl would start to daydream at night, or stare at the necklace hanging around her neck and giggle.

……

Unfortunately, Bai Ye was unaware of all this. After saying goodbye, he and Laurentina left the core city of Chernobog.

Both of them had changed their clothes to some extent. Or rather, Laurentina's change was more obvious. Her previous dresses or nun's habit were too conspicuous, so she changed into a wilderness trench coat suit similar to Bai Ye's.

"The known civilizations in Terra, in their evolution, either remained in their original state or merged after collisions, ultimately honestly retaining the shadows left to them by the mountains and rivers," Bai Ye said, recalling what Dr. Kal'tsit had told him in the past.

"The Yan Kingdom is one of those countries that has maintained its original character, right?" Laurentina continued after Bai Ye finished speaking.

Incidentally, this sentence was written in standard syllabic style.

Although she couldn't compare to a genius like Goredia, who was a scientific governor, Laurentina still managed to learn the basics of Yan's official language during her time in the core city.

Among them, Gretia was the first to learn, taking about a day. Afterwards, she also helped Bai Ye and Nian tutor Laurentina.

That's really outrageous.

The two agreed to use the Flame Chamber after leaving the core city of Chernobog.

Besides language, Laurentina and Bai Ye also conducted thorough research on their destination. Rhodes Island's database was fully accessible to Bai Ye, allowing him to find all the information he needed.

There was a little incident along the way. After witnessing Bai Ye's learning abilities, Goredia was also impressed. She believed that Bai Ye's abilities were more than sufficient to serve as governor in Agor. Although she initially thought that humans on land were barbaric and ignorant, it turned out that these guys were constantly redefining her understanding of land people.

……

“It is precisely because it has always remained in its original state that its foundation is among the strongest. In addition, there may be candle-bearers from the Timekeeping Platform or other powerful figures who may obstruct us, so we must try to be as discreet and cautious as possible.” Bai Ye’s expression was somewhat subtle.

Although he always said that in this world, one only needs a sword to go anywhere, he would still choose a more cautious method to avoid unnecessary trouble or accidents.

This is probably the biggest difference between him and his past self as a player. Because he knows it's just a game, he becomes a bit more reckless.

"Yan Kingdom is located to the east of the Ursus Empire. We will choose to fly, but after entering the buffer zone of the Great Yan Kingdom's border, we will land and use vehicles to complete the rest of the journey."

Bai Ye wouldn't fly directly to his destination; that would be too conspicuous. When facing the Great Yan, Bai Ye would still choose to maintain a sense of awe.

After all, it is the only land-based kingdom that has successfully slain a god. Giant beasts have perished here.

Being extra careful is never an overreaction. Bai Ye certainly didn't treat himself like a giant beast.

"However, with the initial plan in place, everything will be much more convenient now..."

Bai Ye was very glad that after transmigrating, she did not become a lone player like before, but instead managed many businesses.

For example, this time, Bai Ye used the guise of a messenger going to Yan Kingdom to handle some business, and he even personally accepted a commission.

After his identity issue was resolved, he was able to enter the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom through normal means, without having to resort to smuggling or anything like that.

The president of the Adventurers' Guild, the head of the Northern Cross Private Messenger Company, personally delivered the letter.

He really made me cry to death.

Chapter Ninety-Six Arrival

"arrive……"

Bai Ye, carrying Laurentina, slowed down, exited the sonic boom tunnel, and then slowly descended.

This wasn't the first time I'd flown, and I was incredibly skilled at carrying people. It would be even more convenient if I were carrying a Deepsea Hunter.

After all, they are powerful warriors who have undergone genetic modification. Their bodies can withstand incredibly strong impacts, and even the G-forces during high-speed flight are nothing to them.

It's much better than a typing machine.

Bai Ye once took her on a high-speed flight, and for a long time afterward, the girl would involuntarily feel weak in the knees whenever she saw Bai Ye.

Oh, by the way, Bai Ye used to often fly with Melantha to train his apprentice's adaptability to power armor.

For a long time, Bai Ye had almost forgotten that he had an apprentice, leaving Melantha aside. Therefore, he now felt guilty towards this catgirl, and he did everything with a serious and earnest attitude to make up for his mistake.

During that period, Melantha would often vomit as soon as she came down from the sky, but she got used to it after a while, and later she was able to do all sorts of incredible maneuvers while piloting Unit-01 as if nothing had happened.

……

Laurentina tidied her slightly messy hair and then put on her hat.

"From now on, it's up to me to protect you." The girl seemed quite happy.

"It's just a setting... I'm the messenger of natural disasters, and you're my protector." Bai Ye said helplessly; this guy was really getting excited.

"You and Titi used this identity disguise before, right?" Laurentina asked with a smile.

Bai Ye nodded, agreeing.

They used to travel to many places using this identity.

"I'm so envious... I was probably still in the experimental water tank back then." Laurentina stretched. "It's so good to have met you guys."

“That’s what I think too.” Bai Ye reached out and took Laurentina’s hand.

In fact, they didn't look like messengers and guards at all; they looked more like a couple on a picnic.

However, this is hardly a good place for a picnic. Terra's wilderness is a completely opposite concept to the city. For many, "wilderness" is a desolate and terrifying place, filled with fear and awe. It is a savage, malevolent symbol of fate, yet simultaneously contains powerful, blind forces of nature.

Of course, Bai Ye misses it very much.
