Dawn of Another World

"Whirlpool? No, what is that...?"

Hearing the young man's answer, Ling Xiao was confused.This seems to be a bit different from the situation when he came to Terra. Moreover, the other party does not understand Terra's language at all, and his body...doesn't seem to have changed much.

Staring at the neat short hair of the black-haired young man, Ling Xiao was quite envious.

"But—" The young man named Wang Lynch sneaked another glance at Basil who was beside him.Facing Baile's handsome but stern face, he shrank his eyes and continued to say to Ling Xiao: "When I was wandering around, I saw a lot of broken stone slabs in the ruins to the south, and there seemed to be some symbols engraved on them. Or words..."

"That...could it be the clue you are looking for?" Wang Linqi seemed a little embarrassed when he lowered his head, "I don't understand it either, I just guessed randomly."

"South?" Frowning, Ling Xiao thought, that is, he will continue to move forward, deeper in the town.He was a little hesitant, because Basil seemed restless after entering this spice town.

"What did he say, Ling Xiao?"

Thinking of this, Basil lowered his head and approached, the silver-haired young man looked faintly disgusted at the uninterrupted conversation between Ling Xiao and Wang Lynch.And Ling Xiao looked at Basil who was silently sulking and didn't know it, his eyes softened involuntarily. With a smile on his face, he briefly explained to Basil what Wang Lynch said.

"I, I can take you there!" Wang Linqi's tone was a little hasty, and his cheeks began to turn red. He seemed to have completely ignored the strange and intimate atmosphere between Basil and Ling Xiao opposite him, and began to say loudly: "Ling Xiao, if There are really people like us, maybe, maybe they can find a way to go back. Woo, I want to go home——!"

His lips moved slightly, and Ling Xiao just wanted to answer something, but Basil tightly clenched his hand, and his sharp golden eyes stared at the ordinary-looking Wang Lynch with short black hair on the opposite side: "You, lead the way."

"What, what? He... what did he say?" Because he couldn't understand Basil's words at all, Wang Lynch was so nervous that he couldn't do anything under his heavy and almost substantial eyes, and could only keep looking at Ling Xiao as if asking for help.

"Basil?" Ling Xiao was a little surprised. He was obviously ready to go, and his nerves were tense. Why did Basil——

"I am your guardian, follow your footsteps at all times, and don't be timid because of fear of danger."

Looking at Basil who recited the contract rules like an endorsement, Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart, and felt that such a deadpan but serious Basil was unexpectedly cute.The two clasped their hands, looked at each other and nodded, Ling Xiao turned to Wang Linqi with a smile on his face and said——

"So——Mr. Wang, can you please lead the way? Just now, Basil also wanted you to lead the way."

"Ah... oh oh, ok, ok!"

Faced with Ling Xiao's polite request, Wang Linqi, who came back to his senses, kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.No matter how slow he is, he seems to have finally discovered the weird and wonderful atmosphere around the two people in front of him. What floats between the two people is a kind of intimacy and familiarity that no outsider can penetrate.

After speaking, the three of them set off, led by Wang Linqi who was walking in the front, and stepped out of the half-collapsed double-storey stone house.

Along the way, there are still those same desolate and desolate scenery.

The young man Wang Linqi who was walking in front of the two of them seemed to have met Ling Xiao in desperation. At this moment, he almost regarded Ling Xiao as a life-saving straw, and kept pestering him to ask this and that along the way.As big as the origin of the name of this continent, as small as Basil's strange eyes, all kinds of questions one after another, thanks to the gentle and patient Ling Xiao, if it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have already been impatient.

"My God, my God! What kind of place is this? There are werewolves or something. Isn't that something that eats people in foreign novels?"

"No, Mr. Wang." Ling Xiao slowed down his voice and tried to explain to the young man Wang Linqi who was bluffing ahead and leading the way again: "The Gutiva orcs are different from the werewolves in the novel. Actually, they are no different from us.”

Of course, Ling Xiao wisely didn't reveal more to him about the terrifying explosive speed of the orcs' bodies.

"Oh, will they...can eat people?" After finishing speaking in a low voice, Wang Linqi glanced behind him cautiously as if he was afraid of being heard by the silver-haired young man next to Ling Xiao.

"...No, Mr. Wang."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Ling Xiao could only be speechless, and then he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the little dragon cub Yani was sleeping soundly in the cloth bag slung behind his waist, otherwise he would see that The young man in front of him didn't know what kind of fright it would be like for a strange little thing in the middle of winter.

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to cover your cloak. The two suns in the sky are not harmful, and they are similar to the earth's sun." Liti and Byrutan were leading the way in front of Basil and Ling Xiao as the sun was shining in the sky and the temperature was hot. Wang Lynch, however, wrapped his whole body tightly in a large black cloth cloak that was already worn out.Afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke, Ling Xiao kindly reminded him.

"No, no... I, I'm still afraid..." He hesitated and mumbled his tone, and Wang Linqi seemed unwilling to remove the cloak that covered him at all, and Ling Xiao no longer forced others to do anything about it. Shut up.

Going around and walking for about 10 minutes, the young Wang Linqi, who was leading the way in front of Basil and Ling Xiao, let out an excited cheer, raised his arms, turned his face under the shadow of the cloak to the two of them and said, "Look, It's just ahead!"

Following the direction of his finger, Basil and Ling Xiao looked up, across the messy pile of rubble, under the cover of collapsed houses and broken walls, and the area where the young man Wang Lynch was just now. Similar to the market square in China, the wider and more open space in front of it is densely covered with many stone tablets that are still standing or have been toppled and broken.

"right here!"

Wang Linqi pointed and repeated, his dark eyes were flickering with fanaticism, as if he was afraid that Basil Lingxiao and the others would not believe him, he strengthened his tone and said in a higher tone: "There are so many inscriptions on those stone tablets that I can't understand. The symbols or words in the text may be the clues you are looking for!"

"Basil?"

"Go and see." To Ling Xiao's hesitant look at him, Basil just nodded slightly, then took Ling Xiao's hand, and walked forward with a halting pace.

When they came to the place where there were hundreds of stone tablets, big and small, the three of them carefully watched their feet, because if one of them didn't pay attention, if they came across those stone tablets, they had gone through countless years and barely maintained their shape. will fall apart.

"how is it going?"

The young man Wang Linqi asked eagerly and wanted to approach Ling Xiao, but he was stopped by a long sword with red golden brilliance before he took a few steps.Basil who was holding the sword was silent, his eyes were silent, just like his sword gave people the feeling, Basil's whole person was like a cluster of flames burning in silence at the moment.

"I'm watching, don't worry, Mr. Wang." He raised his eyes and smiled to comfort Wang Lynch in front of him. The young man was looking anxious, but he was afraid of Basil's coercion and dared not make a move.Ling Xiao then shook his head at Basil, and as a signal, the silver-haired young man obediently put down the raised sword blade.

One piece after another, either bending over or squatting down, Ling Xiao carefully read the words on the mottled and blurred stone tablets that became difficult to discern-these are indeed the words of the continent of Terra.It records the past history of how this market town developed and prospered thousands of years ago.There is a black stone tablet that was covered in dust and dumped on two parts of the ground. It even recorded in detail the once-very lively Spice Festival in Spice Town.

"On the first day of the first month of each year, when Liti and Bairutan rise at the same time, the Spice Festival will officially start for ten days..."

Ling Xiao tried his best to distinguish the words on the stone tablet. The planet Terra is different from the earth. There are [-] months in a year, and a total of [-] days is a sidereal year.When the first twilight falls in the first month of each year, the residents of Terra can see the only time in the whole year-Liti and Bairutan, the twin kings of the sky, rise and fall at the same time.

His eyes slowly passed over the surface of the stone tablet that had become bumpy, and those vivid and vivid descriptions made Ling Xiao, who was far away from countless times, feel the festive and festive atmosphere personally.Food and spirits, flowers, songs and dances, and the most important protagonists in the entire festival - all kinds of spices gathered from all over the Saofeng Plain, even the air in the town is full of extremely strong atmosphere day and night .

Ling Xiao was in a trance.

There was a brief blank in his memory, he shook his head slowly, suddenly he couldn't remember why he was here.

The dull sound of the body falling to the ground seemed to reach the ears through many obstacles.He raised his head with a slow reaction, Ling Xiao's eyes were empty, he stared blankly at the silver-haired young man who fell into the dust, his whole body was paralyzed, and seemed to be trying to reach out to touch him, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound .

The man's eyes are gold...

Why do you look at yourself like this?

Who is he—

Feeling being pulled to stand up, the scent that filled the tip of the nose became more intense.Ling Xiao became completely unable to think, his body seemed to be pulled hard by a black shadow in front of him, his wrist was so hot...

"Ling Xiao?"

The huge shadow suddenly raised its head, and transformed into a strangely distorted face, which opened its mouth as if to swallow him up, calling out to him one after another.

"... Ling Xiao, you go to sleep... you go to sleep..."

Ling Xiao——

Are you calling him?

Who is he……

Ling Xiao——

Who is Ling Xiao?
