Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"It's you!?"

She didn't know Leonardo da Vinci, but she was very impressed by Xiuer's appearance.

Although he was surprised that the other party was in the village, Bai Mao did not react to the point of drawing his weapon to defend himself because of his companions' attitude.

But even so, her reaction, like that of a wild beast with its fur standing on end, surprised even Da Vinci a little.

This is why this "genius" showed a smile on his face when he saw something "fun".

"Oh~ Shul-chan, it seems you hold a special place in Hassan's heart."

She teased Xiuer with a smile, but the latter did not comment.

"Bai Mao, why are you so...?"

Even Zhuwan was surprised by Baimao's reaction. Among the people in the room, except Xuer who remained calm at all times, only Yanzui, who had experienced the other party's strength, was relatively calm.

Because she knew that Baimao was captured by the being named Xiuer.

Such a reaction was probably caused by facing the other party directly at the beginning.

Their "Hassan"'s frontal combat capabilities are often not very good, so it is not surprising that they would perform like this when facing such a strong opponent.

"Cough cough..."

Knowing that his behavior was too excited, Hassan Baimao quickly cleared his cough a few times and calmed down quickly.

But she couldn't think of how to explain Curse Wrist's question for the time being.

Fortunately, Yanzui, who was standing by, noticed Baimao's embarrassment and quickly spoke up to help his companion.

"Don't worry about the cursed wrist. That 'girl''s' strength far exceeds our understanding. Baimao's expression must be due to his personal experience."

"Is that so?"

Zhuwan looked at the "girl" in surprise, but did not doubt Yanzui's words.

"Oh yes, that's exactly what happened."

Baimao immediately confirmed this statement and walked down the stairs given by Yanzui.

As for the fact that I fainted after just one encounter, I'd better keep it to myself.

"Okay~ Now that everyone is here, it's time to get down to business, right?"

Da Vinci clapped his hands, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

And her actions were indeed effective. At least Baimao successfully suppressed the embarrassment in her heart.

"Well, it's time to do that."

Yanzui and Zhuwan nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

After all, they would vacate this house originally to discuss this matter with the other party.

"But before that, let's take these nine people away and settle them down."

Curse Wrist spoke and gestured to the nine mountain people who were still sleeping on the ground.

Unlike Baimao who woke up immediately, they showed no signs of waking up until now.

If they were not all still breathing, the "Hassans" would have thought they were all dead.

Although what we are going to discuss next is not a big deal, it is not a good idea to let these people sleep in the house like this.

The others had no objection to this, and Xiuer didn't care at all.

Finally, after Yanzui called for help and moved all these people away, the negotiations with the mountain people officially began.

……

Chapter 46: The Heroic Spirits of the Village

A breeze blew across the mountains at night, and the bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the mountains hidden in the darkness.

While Da Vinci and Shuul were negotiating with the representatives of the mountain people, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also having friendly exchanges with the villagers.

Although as an outsider arriving here for the first time, it is inevitable that I will arouse the vigilance of local residents.

Fortunately, they were led by "Hassan". In other words, most of the residents of this village were refugees rescued and accepted by "Hassan" and others.

The origins of these mountain villages are actually closely related to the holy city.

After all, the mountain people in this world are almost all refugees who failed in the Holy Selection Ceremony.

Since being eliminated, these refugees have been living in seclusion in the mountains, gathering together and eventually forming settlements. Even though they have no hope of entering the holy city, these people will still pray to the holy land, which is enough to show their yearning for that city.

As for the history of this mountain village, Fujimaru Ritsuka heard it from a villager.

The specific situation may be slightly different, but generally speaking it should be about the same.

The boy didn't know, but he was willing to believe it.

At present, because of Shuul's sudden intrusion into the holy city, the Holy Ceremony originally scheduled to be held tonight was destroyed and ended in vain.

Although we don’t know how long the subsequent event will be postponed, we are afraid that it will not be held in the short term due to the city-wide alert.

For the group of refugees who were waiting at the main gate of the Holy City without knowing the situation, the Lion King's unreasonable "sanction" indicated that the Holy City was not safe.

In addition, the arrival of an "angel" to block the sanctions for them made this group of refugees, who thought they had escaped death, decide to flee the holy city.

Of course, the group of refugees temporarily accepted by Xuer are still in that critical area at this time.

In order to avoid panic among the crowd, he also specially dispatched clones to take charge of the management. He had countless ways to appease ordinary people.

Because it was too late, most people in the village were already asleep in their houses.

The villager who had previously revealed the history to Fujimaru Ritsuka was just summoned by the cursed wrist to help with the handover. After settling the newcomers, the villagers all returned to their houses.

After saying goodbye to the children, the young man returned to his quiet self and began to stroll alone in the village.

"Hey, young man, why are you here alone so late?"

At this moment, a hearty shout came from behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Although I haven't seen him, I can tell from his voice that he is a cheerful person.

The boy turned around and looked at the person coming from behind.

What caught my eye was a young man with short black hair and a cheerful smile.

"Ah, you're the one Mr. Cursed Wrist called in to help just now."

His eyes quickly swept over the other person's green armor. This person's attire was particularly conspicuous among the villagers.

"Haha, don't be so reserved, you can call me Arash."

The man who called himself "Arash" chuckled softly. After all, it was already late at night, and if the noise was too loud, it would disturb others' rest.

The man's cheerful personality left Fujimaru Ritsuka a little stunned for a moment.

After all, since transferring to this singularity, the latter has rarely encountered such kind people.

"Ah, oh..."

"Arash..."

He responded subconsciously, and then immediately seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened.

"Ah, you are the one..."

It seems that the name of the person in front of him has brought great shock to the young man.

But at this moment, the man immediately raised his hand to signal to keep quiet, quickly stopping the boy's excitement caused by shock.

"Oh sorry sorry."

Only then did Fujimaru Ritsuka remember the time. He looked at the quiet village houses around him and felt relieved after confirming that he had not disturbed anyone else.

"Are you the great hero of ancient Persian legend, the savior who ended the war between Persia and Turku and brought peace and tranquility to the people of both countries—Arash?"

The boy's speaking speed exceeded the limit, making the man in front of him a little dazed.

"Ah ha ha……"

Because the other party was a little too excited, Arash felt a little ashamed.

He scratched his head and accepted these titles.

"It's a bit embarrassing to be told that in front of someone..."

"But you're right, I am indeed the legendary 'Arash'."

"Wow, it's really you."

Seeing the legendary "hero" appear before him, Fujimaru Ritsuka was extremely excited.

Even after experiencing so many singularities and meeting countless historical figures and legendary heroes, the boy's passion has not diminished.

After the surprise of meeting the legendary hero faded, Fujimaru Ritsuka's attention shifted to the current situation.

"But is there something Mr. Arash suddenly looking for me about?"

He was not curious about why the other party appeared in this era.

After all, this world is a "singularity", and it is not surprising that anything can happen in a singularity.

Moreover, the Arash before him was clearly a "Heroic Spirit," and it was not surprising at all that a Heroic Spirit would appear in another era.

"Because I heard from Curse Wrist that some special 'guests' had come to the village, I just wanted to see what kind of 'guests' they were."

"Ah, um..."

This sentence sounded as if it was testing the character of himself and others. Faced with this reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing that the boy in front of him didn't know what to say, Arash smiled helplessly. He could tell that the boy seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Don't be nervous. Since you are guests brought back by Hassan, I naturally trust your character."

After all, if there were problems with the people, the "Hassans" would not let them in so easily.

After simply comforting the boy, Ahbian raised his head and looked at the night sky.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka also raised his head.

The young man's mind was immersed in the quiet and peaceful night sky.

Just before his thoughts were about to fly away with the breeze, Arash's voice sounded again, drawing his attention back.

"Come to think of it, I've already introduced myself, but I still don't know your name."

"Oh, sorry, I was so excited just now that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, please give me your guidance, Mr. Arash!"

"Hahaha, I told you there's no need to be nervous."

Arash said with a smile, and from his tone it could be heard that he really didn't mind such a small matter.

"I heard from Curse Wrist that you have captured Miss Baimao without any injuries."

"Ah, about that..."

"Don't worry, I know you attacked Baimao out of bravery." Just when Fujimaru Ritsuka was embarrassed, Arash was kind enough to comfort him immediately.

"If it were me, I would probably do the same thing as you if I faced 'kidnapping' without knowing anything."

"But I have to say, you were able to capture a Hassan without either side getting hurt. You're quite capable."

"Ahahaha, actually it's mainly thanks to Xiuer, it has nothing to do with us."

The boy scratched his head. After all, all of this was done by Xuer alone, so he still felt a little embarrassed when others praised him.

"What is this 'Shurl'...?"

According to the young man, it was this Xuul who captured Baimao and his companions alone.

Therefore, Arash couldn't help but feel curious about the owner of this "Xuer", and he also had a preliminary estimate of this person's strength in his mind.

Because Arash was very friendly and exuded a peaceful aura, and he was also the famous "great hero".

As for this kind of person, Fujimaru Ritsuka is very convinced of his character.

And when it comes to Xiuer, the boy also gets excited. He immediately wants to show off the "all-powerful" Xiuer like a pyramid schemer.

"Xiul, she is..."

"Senior, so you are here."
