It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 48 This gaze is too rude

The summer solstice isn’t too far away.

Instead, just wander around and explore.

He wandered around the ruins, trying to see if there was any danger lurking in them, and also wanted to see if there was anything valuable left behind in the ruins.

When he came to a dilapidated ruin, he stopped and stared for a moment, then knelt down and picked up a book that seemed to be half burned... He casually flipped open the pages, and the fairy words he had seen before appeared before his eyes.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and then waved his arms casually. A whirlwind of magic power instantly erupted, sweeping over like a storm.

This force rages and swirls within a limited range, ruthlessly blowing away the rubble and gravel covering it, revealing the secrets buried underneath. Rows of toppled bookshelves emerge, and books scattered on the ground reveal their existence.

However, in such a terrible environment and after such a long period of time, these books have already been severely damaged, and most of them have begun to decay and fall apart due to the erosion of moisture and rain under the ruins.

It seems that the ruins here are indeed the previous library, and he found this place again.

It can be said to be a very memorable place, and it is also the beginning and starting point of my journey again...

It's a pity that those goblins were so cruel that they didn't leave any thoughts for me...

Facing this devastated scene and aware of the goblins' relentless brutality, the young man's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. He lowered his head and continued to flip through the book in his hand, but in the process he accidentally discovered a strange phenomenon -

He seemed to understand the goblin words.

Or rather, I can understand the meaning of a small part of the text, but I still have no clue about most of it and cannot comprehend the information it contains...

However, compared with the previous ignorance, the level of understanding has obviously improved significantly.

"When did I learn this? When I was studying the scabbard before, I couldn't understand a single word."

The young man was amazed. He was very sure that he had never asked anyone about the knowledge of goblins, whether it was Vivian or Tetrot. Although he had such an idea, it was ranked lower in priority and he had not yet taken action.

Of course, looking back now, he was glad he hadn't rushed into action.

After all, it seems like this skill can be mastered naturally just by hanging up and waiting.

But... what is the mechanism behind this? Xia Zhi thought about it with great interest. He was not completely unaware of certain things, so he couldn't help but wonder, was it because he traveled to this world that his existence began to deteriorate?

Or--

Was I already a different being in the original world?

——No one can answer this question for the time being.

He collected his thoughts and casually flipped through the book in his hand. Unfortunately, the contents recorded in the book were too badly burned and decayed, and the number of goblin characters he could currently recognize was limited, so he could not read it smoothly.

He could only barely make out that the story seemed to be a fable, telling the story of "six unknown fairies who, through some unknown means, won a piece of land in a certain place"...

This should be the general plot, right?

Since the current character database is too incomplete, Xia Zhi can only guess and is not very sure about the content.

In short, let's collect these fragments first...

He thought for a moment, looked around, then stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the air.

As if it suddenly appeared, a key-shaped golden dagger was held in his palm.

If Gilgamesh saw this, he would be furious. After all, in his world, he was the only one who could take other people's things. How could anyone take his things without permission? As the oldest fat tiger in human history, he certainly could not bear this injustice.

Xia Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

This thing may seem insignificant, but it is actually more difficult to reverse engineer than Vimana.

He had been analyzing it from the time he was on the boat until now, trying to reproduce it again and again, and now he had finally succeeded and got this important warehouse key.

It was Wang Lujian——

The key-shaped sword leading to the "Golden City" -

As for whether Gilgamesh felt uncomfortable or not... let's put it this way, he generally rarely considered the emotions of the living, let alone the opinions of the dead.

Just staring at the exquisite warehouse key in his hand, Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. How do you use this thing? It doesn't look like an ordinary key.

The sword looks like a key, but in fact it is more like a decryption device. The handle is similar to the shape of a cylinder, and the parts that form the cylinder are constantly rotating and deforming like a Rubik's Cube, but they are always connected together.

The shape of the cylinder's surface is also constantly rotating and deforming, constantly decomposing and reorganizing, changing into new shapes and patterns. It looks like an ever-changing code, waiting to be interpreted by the user.

"..." "..."

Looking at the key whose shape was constantly changing, the young man pinched his chin and thought seriously.

After a long while, he suddenly reached out, grasped the changing cylindrical part, pressed it lightly, and twisted it.

A very slight, almost inaudible clicking sound was heard, and there was also the faint sound of some mechanism turning and gears meshing. The key quickly absorbed the magic power, emitting some strange waves, and instantly opened an invisible door in the void.

"It's quite useful... Mr. Jin is indeed my most loyal one."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

I am currently in the stage of collecting various useful equipment, and the equipment collection can proceed so smoothly, thanks to the strong support of enthusiastic citizen Mr. Jin.

After all, in the records of the treasures stored in the Holy Grail, Gilgamesh alone contributed 99% of the data... If this is not considered strong support, what else can be considered strong support?
"Well, it is empty after all..."

After using the key to open the treasure house, the spirit seems to be linked to the treasure catalog built into the key.

But the directory was empty, there was no treasure at all.

It is probably just like the case of Vimana, that glorious ship was not Gilgamesh's, and the current "Key of King's Law" is also not Gilgamesh's, so naturally there is no reason to have any collection.

However, as a portable storage warehouse, it is fully sufficient.

Xia Zhi stood up and searched the surrounding ruins carefully, throwing all the books he could find into the treasure house of the void.

After confirming that nothing was missed, he stopped and took advantage of the night to look at the enormous World Tree that seemed to be very close.

It’s a pity that now is not the time, otherwise he would like to go and take a look and do some on-site research.

At this moment, the distance to the World Tree was so close that Xia Zhi had already keenly sensed——

This magnificent tree that seemed to carry the world contained boundless magical power, a level far exceeding the magical power he currently had stored... He even doubted whether he could reach even one thousandth of its magical power with the power of the Holy Grail.

----

----

The night grew darker.

It's like ink that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

He returned to the empty space in the direction he came from. In the distance, under the tall execution platform, a beautiful blonde figure suddenly came into view. The girl was sitting there with her knees hugged.

Xia Zhi's heart suddenly shuddered as he found Vivian sitting there hugging her knees with lifeless eyes. Her red and swollen eyes and the traces of tears on her cheeks were clearly visible, as if she had just cried.

This scene made him feel a little stunned.

Could this be a relapse of an old illness, and he's fallen into that confused state again?
He thought about it, walked over slowly, and was about to say something when the blonde girl's eyes moved slightly upon hearing the noise, and she instinctively raised her face and looked in his direction.

"...!!"

The eyes that were originally empty and lifeless seemed to be in a short stagnation the moment they caught sight of his figure, and then they reacted as if belatedly, and something in the lifeless pupils began to gradually loosen up -

There was a gleam in those emerald green eyes...

Her expression also changed little by little...

"..."

"..."

Emmmmm......

Xia Zhi was extremely sensitive in capturing the changes in the expression and eyes on the girl's face, and his face became very strange. This look was too rude.

I seem to have just walked around in a circle...

Why do I feel like I'm already dead in Vivian's eyes...

Those lifeless, empty pupils suddenly changed their expression after seeing himself...the look of astonishment, joy, and disbelief was filled with cautious expectation and full of surprise.

I always feel that it would be inappropriate if I didn't die at least once.
