Dawn of Another World

At noon of the same day, after a group of more than 30 werewolves who arrived in advance had just finished their lunch, the last twenty soldiers who were stranded at the outpost of the Watcher due to the unexpected exhaustion of the energy of the receiving array spar, finally returned with a huge force. The wolf form lined up neatly and arrived across the vast plain with astonishing momentum.

Before the smoke and dust rising high behind the pack of wolves had even had time to dissipate, amidst the bursts of white light, transformed wolf warriors boldly stepped forward one after another, greeting and cursing with everyone who had arrived earlier. one slice.For a moment, the entire temporary resident was full of noise and excitement.

Under the instructions of the Prophet Jiji, several orcs who were on duty to cook took out the disposable storage charm again, took out a few bags of dry pancakes prepared earlier, and began to distribute them separately.In the four stone pots that had not been turned off, a large amount of meat was added to stew again.

"Master Jiji." A female giant wolf warrior who was leading the pack of wolves just now, with a hideous scar on her left cheek, stepped forward to salute respectfully. A generous portion of bread.In the end, Gigi and she had to leave the noisy crowd first and came to a secluded place on the edge of a high cliff on the river bank.

"Go ahead, Beatrice."

"Yes, my lord. There is something really strange—" bowing her head, pondering and organizing her words a little, the female werewolf named Beatrice by Gigi began to narrate slowly: "It's about the energy spar The problem. After you sent away, my lord, the fourth batch of warriors who were about to send found that the energy of the spar in the magic circle had been exhausted. There was no spare spar, and the remaining two groups of us could only..."

"Wait." Waving her hand, signaling for Beatrice to stop first, Gigi looked at her and confirmed word by word: "You mean, the energy of the magic circle spar at the watchman's outpost has also been exhausted in advance ?”

"...Yes." Listening to the word 'also' that Gigi said, Beatrice keenly realized that this matter is definitely no longer a mere coincidence as she thought before, "Master Prophet, the Is there a problem with the receiving array?"

Jiji's face was a little dignified, he nodded silently, his eyes were thoughtful, and more of them revealed confusion.It is unheard of and unbelievable for a teleportation array that is completely operating normally and has a smooth path to suddenly have an unknown fault that consumes too much spar energy, and if two magic arrays have such problems at the same time...

"Beatrice, don't tell anyone about this beforehand." Looking up at the female werewolf with the same serious expression, Gigi actually trusts this low-key, reticent, but very neat and meticulous subordinate, "Now The top priority is the Eye of Thales, which may be opened at any time. Let’s put aside the matter about the spar for now, and we will check it out after we go back after this hunting mission is completed!”

"Yes, my lord."

"Okay, now you go. After lunch, take a good rest." Urging Beatris to go back to the camp for dinner, Gigi turned her head and looked behind the two of them—the one located in the middle of the confluence of three river valleys, on the hill of ruins On the top of the slope, there was still a huge white light group that swirled and stretched silently.

For some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

……

On the other side, Ling Xiao, who was idling in the temporary tent after dinner, couldn't help running out after hearing the movement.Seeing the two groups of people who arrived one after the other shouting and laughing together, this lively scene made Ling Xiao's mood jump with joy.

"The people behind have also arrived safely—" Turning his head, Ling Xiao originally wanted to call Basil inside to come out together, but the voice came out halfway but stopped abruptly.Ling Xiao was a little helpless. He looked at the big silver wolf that was occupying nearly half of the tent space and was lying on the ground with its eyes closed and resting, and smiled wryly.There was a lot of noise outside, Liti and Bairutan were hanging high in the air above their heads, while the giant wolf in front of them was fast asleep!

Returning back to the tent, holding his injured left arm, he approached Basil carefully. Ling Xiao sat down and began to be quiet and absent-minded so as not to disturb each other.

At this time, Basil in the form of a silver wolf opened his eyelids a little, and his fluffy and soft tail gently wrapped around the slender waist of the black-haired young man, pulling him closer so that he could lean against him comfortably.

"Basil, are you awake?"

The silver wolf's tail swept across Ling Xiao's ankle lightly in response, telling him that he was not asleep.

"Tell me about the magicians and warriors on this continent..." Leaning against Basil's warm and soft belly fur, Ling Xiao raised one hand and wrapped it around his ankle. The extremely good tail was pinched.

The giant wolf, who was pinched very comfortably, narrowed his eyes again, and seemed to be in a good mood. His deep and deep voice slowly began to talk about the two most powerful professions on the Terra continent.

Time flies by imperceptibly.The atmosphere inside the tent is peaceful and quiet, but outside the bustling tent, it seems like two worlds are becoming more and more lively.

As the sky approached in the afternoon, people from the centaur and wild snake tribes arrived one after another.And some tribal scattered people who had finished the task ahead of schedule and were stationed here and there sporadically, also came to join after hearing the news.

For a while, only the members of the Giant Wolf City were stationed in the morning, so it seemed empty on the river valley cliff. At this moment, simple tents of different shapes and sizes were densely built around the front and back.With the temporary residence of the elite forces of the orcs as the center point, it radiates outward.The aisle in the open space between the tents was full of people, very lively.During the period, there were still scattered orcs who came to gather after receiving the news.

In the end, by the time of the evening, a circle counted, and there were nearly a thousand people gathered at the hill of ruins!

Such a grand event has not happened in Xiaofeng Plain for almost several years.

Except for a small number of personnel from the three major tribes who have assigned missions, the remaining 800 people are all scattered teams or individuals who have spontaneously accepted missions in various orc territories.The reason for this is the Eye of Thales, which is conservatively estimated to be medium-sized and located on the hill of ruins.Omens of small fissures appear frequently, and such medium-sized fissures have indeed not been opened for a long time.

"so many people……"

After opening the tent, Ling Xiao was a little dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.It's just that in just one afternoon, he almost couldn't recognize where he was.

"Lord Ling Xiao~~~Lord Basil~~~!"

If it was just Ling Xiao who was a little surprised just now, even Basil, who was standing behind him, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this familiar call at this moment.

"Lim!" Ling Xiao shouted in surprise in the direction of the person coming.

Like a gust of wind, he rushed in front of the two of them. The young boy with curly brown hair and bright and wet eyes was not exactly Lim!At this moment, the little guy's round face was blushing, and he gleefully gleemed at Basil and Ling Xiao.

"Why are you here, Lim?" This is really strange, Ling Xiao is afraid that he sneaked out mischievously alone.

"I also accepted the task!" After finishing speaking with high spirits, he proudly straightened his not-so-broad chest, and Ling Xiao, who Lim asked him again, continued to mutter: "The uncle at the application office said, Because I am not an adult, I can only accept a few of the simplest first-level collection tasks, and then I asked my parents to help me apply. Now I can be with Lord Ling Xiao and Lord Basil again, hehe!"

Looking at the happy and clingy little tail in front of him, Basil suddenly felt bad-hearted, "But mine is a level-[-] hunting mission."

Level [-] is the simplest, almost non-dangerous outer edge collection task, and level [-] hunting task to deal with beast-level creatures, in short - the two have no intersection, and it is basically impossible to get together.

"Huh?" Lim, who was dancing happily, became numb when he heard it, so he turned his head to look at Ling Xiao stupidly, "Then, what about Master Ling Xiao?"

"I—" Ling Xiao wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't answer at all.Looking up at Basil beside him, he found that the other person was also turning his gaze to look at him.

After a while of silence, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, Ling Xiao tentatively asked the silver-haired young man beside him, "Basil, what is my mission?"

Then, there was another quiet silence.

"Didn't the Prophet tell you about my mission that day?" Ling Xiao comforted himself, although he was obviously an idler, but for him to act with the large army, there must be a proper name.

"No."

"..."

Very good, this is really a big oolong.

For such a large-scale hunting activity for the Eye of Thales, in fact, no matter men, women, young or old, they can find their own suitable ones from the various missions issued.However, Ling Xiao has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the customs of this strange alien, so he has no sense of needing to sign up for the mission.He completely forgot that he can also take on the mission!

As for Basil, who was used to being alone, it was even more impossible for him to have the awareness to remind Ling Xiao of these things.

"That..." Lim blinked his wet round eyes, looked at Ling Xiao, then at Basil, and finally turned his gaze back to Ling Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Ling Xiao, you have no mission ?"

Seeing that Ling Xiao lowered his eyelashes and acquiesced, Lim quickly waved his hands to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay, Master Ling Xiao! You can go to collect with Lim, and I will give you half of the reward for completing it!"

"I'll give you half as well." At this time, Basil, not far behind, stepped in.

And when he spoke, the serious and meticulous eyes made Ling Xiao's heart skip a beat when he saw it, and then he saw Lim looking at him with concern, somehow, Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly brightened.The insignificant loss and frustration just now disappeared quickly.

In front of people who really care about you, don't be afraid even if you make a fool of yourself.Remember, boy—

People who love you will never dislike your imperfections.

I remember that at that time, he was still studying, and the problem of demanding perfection was much more serious than it is now.I couldn't bear any flaws. For a design draft, even though my body was very hot, I continued to revise, overthrow, and revise it day and night for several days. Finally, my body was dragged down and passed out in class.

When Ling Xiao woke up in the hospital bed, Harris, the always strict and rigid mentor, unexpectedly said the above words to him.

It's ridiculous that Ling Xiao didn't understand at all at that time.

Seeing his adoptive father, Shen Mingzhou, who flew over the entire ocean from Shanghai and rushed to the hospital in a hurry—that elegant and handsome new man, when he lost his temper with him for the first time and his eyes were red, he didn't understand.Filled with fear, Ling Xiao still didn't understand when he thought that the next time he got sick and couldn't let his adoptive fathers know about it.

But when he died on earth, another self inexplicably came to this otherworldly continent, today, at this moment, Ling Xiao thought he finally understood the true meaning of these words.

It was too late for Ling Xiao in the past, but for him today, these words from the past are like enlightenment.

"thank you all."

At this moment, in the twilight, the bonfires of the temporary camp were being lit one by one.Under the light of the fire, this warm thank you and smile was indescribable.Basil and the little guy Lim stared at Ling Xiao's smile in a daze, forgetting what they had to say.

As if he had put down something heavy, Ling Xiao looked around briskly, "I'll ask the Prophet to see if there's anything I can do to help."

"I'm going, I'm going too!"

Lim yelled and followed, while Basil had long been by Ling Xiao's side without saying a word.

"My lord, what happened to your hand?"

"I was bumped, it's okay and it doesn't hurt anymore—"

"Oh, then when it's time to collect, let Lim carry the things!"

"Okay, thank you."

"hey-hey--"

The flames flickered, the shadows of the passing crowd and the tent intertwined, and the silhouettes of the three gradually merged into the background. Together with the sound of conversation, they gradually drifted farther and farther away, until they became inaudible.
