The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

"No Better Mr..." Kristen was stunned for a while by Cannot's unconventional name before asking:

"As the leader, did he come out in person to deal with the attack just now?"

"Well, compensation, and by the way, they also assigned me a task." Miku replied.

"Another mission has been issued?"

As for compensation, Christen could understand it, because if it was just a simple negotiation, there was no need for the leader to show up in person.

The leader usually comes forward to make compensation or provide compensation in the form of exchange of interests.

But Kristen couldn't understand the second half. What did it mean to issue a task?

Are these rusthammers also part-time mercenaries or bounty hunters? Or is this mission also part of the compensation of the interest exchange nature?

"You guessed it right."

Miku, who continued to act like a mind reader, said to Kristen:

"He was the one who told me the news about the Scarlet Theater Castle. His mission was to help him find a pocket watch with a photo of a woman on it."

"A pocket watch with a picture of a woman on it. Is she a relative of the Rusty Hammer leader?"

Christen asked in doubt, searching for relatives' relics is indeed a very normal bounty mission.

"I guess not."

Miku didn't think that the slimy tentacle monster would have any relatives left in the castle:

"Maybe there's something memorable about that pocket watch."

"A commemorative pocket watch?"

Kristen was a little confused.

With the advancement of the times and the development of technology, pocket watches as timekeeping tools have long been eliminated on Terra.

In addition to some spellcasters who use pocket watches as spellcasting props to release Originium skills, there are also some people with unique interests and hobbies.

Pocket watches only exist in antique shops and in the hands of collectors.

Moreover, very few spellcasters would put photos in pocket watch-shaped spellcasting props, otherwise if there is a mistake and the Originium circuit is overloaded, the photo will be lost.

"It's not that we don't have any clues. In addition to the Scarlet Troupe, there is another thing." Miku said as he took out the

The compensation was thrown to Christen beside him.

Kristen, who almost didn't catch it, looked at the bottle in her hand and said in a slightly surprised tone:

"Royal Liqueur?"

"Oh, you drink too?" Miku asked curiously.

Generally speaking, scientific researchers like Kristen don't drink alcohol, but it's not absolute.

However, judging from the fact that Kristen did not bring any wine, but only brought a box of mustard-flavored Dr. Pepper to the Ten Thousand Stars Garden, the other party should not be the Russian type... Oh, according to Terra, he should not be a cosmic superman like Ursus who would bring wine even when going into space.

"I'm not good at drinking, but I have collected a few bottles of this royal liqueur." Kristen immediately expressed that she had no interest in alcoholic beverages and continued, "After the fall of the Gallic Empire, the method of making this wine has been lost."

As for why Kristen doesn't drink but still collects a few bottles of Royal Liqueur, these are out-of-print collectibles with high added value.

Obviously, this out-of-print collection, whose number is decreasing every day, can be said to be very high-end as a gift.

As the general manager of Rhine Life, it is normal for Christen to receive similar gifts.

"That pocket watch should be related to this bottle of wine, or to the Gallic Empire."

Miku said that when he heard the name of the Gallic Empire again, considering what the earth spirit had just said, this area was once Claybrason of the Gallic Empire, and it was easy to draw this conclusion.

"Ah, I remember now." The earth spirit at the side suddenly spoke.

"What did you remember?" Miku asked.

"There is a pocket watch in the legend of the Gaul Empire." The earth spirit thought about the wording and said:

"Legend has it that after the last emperor of the Gallic Empire, Corsica I, was killed in battle, his wife, the last queen of Gaul, held a pocket watch in her hand before she died."

"That pocket watch is a token of love given by King Corsica I to his wife."

“When the queen finally smashed the crown and sat on the throne that belonged to the emperor, she still held the pocket watch in her hand.”

Combined with the unique tone of the earth spirit as a spellcaster, this short story sounds like a bard reciting an epic poem.

Although this is indeed an epic, Miku just sounds weird.

"The King of Corsica..."

Miku recalled a guy carrying a cannon and said:

"Hero with the light of possibility, loving her but never getting anything in return, did you expect to finally achieve the right result in this world?"

"???" Miku's inexplicable response left both Kristen and Di Ling with question marks on their heads.

Could it be that Miku's former identity in Terra was very familiar to Corsica I? But the problem is that Corsica I was already an "ancient man" from the Four Emperors' War decades ago.

However, this time span doesn't seem strange for someone like Miku.

"But according to legend..." When Christen was curious, the earth spirit seemed to remember something and said quickly: "The fall of the Gaul Empire is also closely related to those queens."

"Don't tell me yet. Let me guess." Hearing this, Miku interrupted what Di Ling was about to say:

"Isn't it the King of Corsica who said to his lover, I will hold the whole world in my hands and give it to you?"

"Then he started a war to unify Terra, but he was defeated and his country was destroyed?"

"Uh... that's what the legend says." The Earth Spirit said after a moment of silence.

In the legend about the Gallic Empire, it was indeed the emperor who launched a war of conquest for his queen, and finally he died and his country was destroyed in the Battle of Four Emperors.

It cannot be said that Miku's guess is exactly the same as the legend, but it can be said that there is no difference. And judging from Miku's attitude, it seems as if he was at the scene.

"This is very Corsican, this is very Bonaparte, this is very... Napoleon," said Micoud with a smile.

In Miku's impression, Napoleon has the same personality no matter which world he is in, and this is even more prominent after he became a heroic spirit.

She is the type of person who would do anything to get the person she loves.

However, not all of the "people" Napoleon loved were specific individuals.

In other words, only a few Napoleons were in love with a real person, but more of them were in love with something else.

But I don’t know if it’s a curse or something, but most of the Napoleons were sent it, but few were as thorough as Terra, the First of Corsica.

This ruined the country along with it. Perhaps, as Miku had said before, this might be the best ending for King Corsica I.

"Are you going to find the watch?"

Kristen asked, not knowing what Miku was lamenting about.

"I wasn't interested at first, but now I am, and the man who said there would be no better has also paid for it," said Miku.

"Have you ever been paid?" Kristen was very curious about what kind of "money" could impress someone like Miku.

"Of course, it's something that moved me. Although I was quite surprised when I saw it, when I think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the setting of this world."

After using a paragraph to completely arouse the doubts of Kristen and Di Ling, Miku did not continue to explain what it was.

It touched him.

Instead, he looked up at the sky, then looked around, and changed the subject:

"It's getting late, and there aren't any towns nearby. Let's find a place to camp and rest."

"?" Hearing what Miku said, the Earth Spirit raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was not too late.

Forget it, boss, as long as you are happy.

33: Come, drink from this cup

Due to the ravages of the Originium disaster, most of the plants living in the wilderness of Taiya are species with fast growth cycles.

That is to say, except for some areas that are hardly affected by natural disasters, it is difficult to see large forests on Terra.

Compared with some worlds with better vegetation environments, this natural environment is a complete doomsday environment... It is a normal vegetation environment, not the man-eating forest greening like Catachan and Pandora.

This doomsday environment has one advantage, which I don’t know if it can be considered a benefit, but it does require less careful selection of locations when camping in the wild.

It's the same everywhere anyway, so it's the same everywhere.

But this is not good news for Miku...especially since Miku is the kind of person who has high requirements on travel conditions.

Miku, who had decided to set up camp, found an area with some low bushes.

Then the car stopped and drove towards the bushes.

Not knowing what Miku was going to do, Kristen and Di Ling also got out of the car and walked over.

Di Ling also did not forget to push the motorcycle over.

Miku approached these bushes and took a look at the bushes with Originium crystals on them. It seems that these wild plants have evolved some ability to coexist with Originium.

After making sure that it had not evolved any barbs or the like, Miku punched the bush without wearing any gloves.

Then he followed up with a series of punches.

As soon as he pushed the motorcycle over, he saw Miku boxing against the bushes. The earth spirit whispered to Christen beside him:

"Mister Miku, what are you doing?"

"I don't know." Christen also had a question mark on her forehead.

The doubts of Kristen and Di Ling did not last long. The bushes that were hit by Miku's combination of punches suddenly disappeared without any warning.

"???"

The earth spirit quickly looked around, trying to see where Miku had hidden the bush.

"It's a bit too little. It seems I have to switch from Minecraft to the 7 Days to Die module." Without explaining anything, Miku raised his head, looked at the bushes around him, and said to himself.

As Mu Ku spoke, he pulled out a square wooden frame out of thin air and threw it aside.

Watching this scene, Christen immediately understood that Miku's behavior just now should be to collect materials to make this frame.

It turns out that there is no need for Ikaros's decomposition beam. Can this level of achievement be achieved with fists alone?

After a while, seeing that Miku had almost cleared all the bushes around him and a large pile of wooden frames suddenly appeared out of thin air, the Earth Spirit realized belatedly that Miku seemed to be planning to build a house.

Putting aside this "Originium Technique" that he had seen for the first time, the Earth Spirit could not understand Miku's extravagant behavior of planning to build a house and set up camp on the spot.

"If I remember correctly, there is a settlement five or six hours away from here."

The Earth Spirit suggested to Miku in a very polite tone.

Although five or six hours of travel time is not considered short given the speed of a motorcycle in the wilderness, it is still a journey that requires traveling at night under the stars.

Besides being desolate, the wilds of this land are also dangerous.

Although the living conditions in such a place cannot match those of a mobile city, aren’t houses that can shelter you from the wind and rain and hot food attractive?

As for the question of whether we can find the direction at night.

For Scourge Messengers, geologists, and magicians who specialize in earth-related Originium arts, getting lost is impossible.

"Not on my way" Miku's response was simple and clear.

"Not on the way?" Di Ling was a little confused. If he was going back to Columbia, that place of residence would be on the way.

In other words, the survival of that settlement depends on travelers from Victoria or Letania passing through this area on their way to Colombia.

It is a relatively important station.

"We may have to take another route." Mikudo explained, and then without further explanation, he began to tinker with the not-so-large number of wooden frames.

Building a Dabieye seems to be a bit inadequate, and building a tube-shaped building seems to be a bit inadequate too. Should we build a matchbox?

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Noticing Miku's struggle, Kristen came forward and asked.

"Help me level the ground nearby first." Miku instructed Christen directly without any hesitation.

"Let me do it. I'm good at this." Hearing Miku's words to Christen that sounded like an order, the earth spirit on the side hurriedly said.

Although camping like Miku, which requires building a house, has a lot of unreasonable expenses that make people want to complain.

But now his life and property are in the hands of others, and the Earth Spirit can only express its support.

And it's a good opportunity for me to show off in front of my new boss and show that it would be a waste to just be used as an experimental subject.

"That's fine." Miku remembered that the earth spirit was a specialist.
