Lin guessed casually, nodded and continued, "Not far away there is a small town called Ghost Owl Town. In this country that is similar to the rule of the nobility in the Middle Ages, the people live a simple life and there are starving people everywhere..."
After Wasi briefly explained the situation, Rin glanced at Reimu and continued, "How should I put it... This world is so big, there are so many cases like this, and it's impossible to manage them all. However, since we've already encountered them, we should still take action. The problem now is how to solve the problem fundamentally. Simply killing the baron will hardly guarantee that the heir to the baron's title or the newly sent nobles of the kingdom will not be more brutal than the baron. After all, it's only a temporary solution and not a permanent one."
The three of them were collectively silent... Reimu can fight, but it's impossible for her to play politics. Shiki can kill people, but it's impossible for her to think about these things. So it's useless to say anything. In the end, Rin still needs to consider it herself.
After thinking for a long time with his chin propped up, Rin, who was pouring tea for the two girls more and more like a waiter, finally gave up, touched his chin and said, "Anyway, it seems that we have gotten rid of the Moon Demon. We can go back to Ghost Owl Town tomorrow to find out the situation."
"Ah."
Reimu nodded and stretched, "I haven't rested for a day and a night. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Ryougi Shiki and Reimu come from different worlds and have no intersection. They are complete strangers. In addition, due to their personalities, they are not good at socializing. It is completely predictable that they will not be able to communicate normally for a long time.
Rin walked Reimu to the door, thought for a moment, then turned to Shiki and said, "I'll go downstairs and get a room. You'd better rest after your long journey."
"Thank you, but there's no need to rest. I need to learn more about the world I'm about to practice in."
"That's easy. I have a lot of information here. I'll give it to you in a moment."
"Many thanks."
Rin nodded, closed the door, and walked downstairs.
……
Early the next morning, the three returned to Ghost Owl Town through the teleportation center.
Shi knew that he could only stay in the first stage for seven days, so he had been learning the cultural knowledge of this world and had developed a strong interest in the system of gods.
Of course, this is not a good thing for the gods. According to Rin's little knowledge of the Kara no Kyoukai, Shiki's Death Perception Mystic Eyes can only see the root cause...which means that even gods may really be killed.
It was hard to imagine that such a girl who seemed elegant but actually indifferent had become his servant in the blink of an eye.
Forget it, never mind. Whether a servant is good or not, you have to use it to know.
Chapter 16 New Environment, I have a feeling that another book is coming out
Lin was lucky. After returning to Ghost Owl Town, she took the two girls to find a tavern to eat something. It happened that two people sitting at the table next to her mentioned Antonio's team.
They were all adventurers from the same country. Although they each had their own fixed teams, they would often work together on quests. Plus, whoever had a reputation for being more capable would fight, so it was quite normal for them to get to know each other in other towns.
Now that Antonio's team had completed the White Flame Flying Dragon and encountered the Soul Demon, many adventurers already knew about it. The two people sitting next to them, for example, were full of envy and jealousy in their voices.
"It seems like the commission is inevitable. Tsk, at least six figures, right? I can change my clothes, accept better missions, and speed up my training. Tsk, I'll make a lot of money."
"Well, but I heard that all the teammates ran away. If it was just one, it would be fine, but all three ran away. There's no way there's anything wrong here. Maybe they squeezed him out."
From conversations like these, Lin sorted out two things. First, the moon demon also left, just like them, without even saying hello. Second, Antonio and the other two did come looking for her. Overall, everyone was fine and it wasn't a bad thing.
The point is, the Moon Demon has left, and Rin's intuition tells him that he won't see that stupid Moon Demon who would fall flat on his face at the sight of injustice for a long time.
The next thing is to think seriously about the affairs of Ghost Owl Town. Anything involving politics is not something that can be easily handled.
Adventurers only care about rewards and how to become stronger. They don't care about the country they are in. They follow the most basic rules... Of course, unless they have decided to advance to the core position, even if the country is rotten to the root, it has nothing to do with them.
In the history of the Supreme World, there was a particularly famous event during which a ranger named Li Lan died. This fuse triggered the demise of the entire ranger group.
The cause and effect of the incident is very simple. It happened in an empire called Ode in a mid-level galaxy. Li Lan passed through a village and happened to encounter the empire's tax officer who was collecting taxes. In the end, the villagers handed over almost all their belongings before they could barely pass the tax. Seeing that the people were living a hard life, the ranger killed the tax officer in anger.
Afterwards, the city governor sent a more brutal tax collector who even raped women. So the ranger killed the tax collector again. He thought that if he killed every tax collector he met, the rulers would be afraid.
However, it didn't happen. The Archon sent troops to massacre the entire village, so the Ranger went to assassinate the Archon. Finally, the Empire was furious and sent elite troops to kill the Ranger...
Compared to the huge galaxy and world, this was not a big deal, and it could not cause any waves in itself. However, the rangers had many friends and many teams were organized to avenge Li Lan together. The fight with the empire ended in a lose-lose situation, and finally attracted the gods believed in by the emperor of the empire, who directly killed a god believed in by most of the rangers, causing the entire ranger group to disappear in the galaxy of history.
The vulnerable adventurers no longer dared to easily touch the interests of the country, because the gods particularly valued the faith provided by a country.
The saved village will not be grateful to the ranger, just like the story of the lion and the mosquito in Aesop's fables. Although the first tax collector was cruel, the people could still barely survive until he was killed, and the village was doomed to destruction.
Rin didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, but if she didn't take action, Reimu would never get over the hurdle in her heart.
She is a shrine maiden, and as a shrine maiden of Gensokyo, she has been instilled with the great ideal of saving the common people by Rin and Yukari since the first generation. In addition to spreading miracles...
Wait... a miracle?!
Rin smiled and tapped the table: "Reimu, Shiki, I have an idea!"
Reimu glanced at him, took out the Yin Yang Jade and smashed it on the table: "Tell me what you want to do, just kill the king!"
"Wait, are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of the gods' revenge?"
"Bang!"
The table was slammed again with a deafening roar, but fortunately the tables in the tavern were often broken into pieces, so no one cared. Only Rin stared with wide eyes, looking at the dagger on the table and Shiki who was holding the dagger, with a confused look on his face.
"Even if it's a god, I'll kill it for you to see! This is also part of the practice."
"Sister, please stop making trouble, okay..." Lin scratched his hair in pain, "I want to kill without bloodshed this time!"
……
A day later, big news came out from the Owl Country.
In the previously unknown Ghost Owl Town, the fountain in the center, which had been abandoned for who knows how long, suddenly resumed operation early in the morning. There was a full reservoir of gold coins, which continued to spurt out. The gold coins were so bright that they almost blinded the eyes of passers-by, attracting many people to scramble for them but they were unsuccessful because the pool had a very powerful restriction circle.
The onlookers and adventurers were all guessing which god of wealth had performed the miracle. After a whole morning of excitement, the Church of the Goddess of Luck appeared and confirmed that this was a miracle from the Goddess of Luck.
In this kind of low-level galaxy, it is difficult to encounter miracles unless one is blessed by nature. With the arrival of the Church of the Goddess of Luck, Ghost Owl Town became famous all of a sudden, and even alarmed the dignitaries, who named this place the Lucky Spring.
With such a miracle, Ghost Owl Town has naturally become more popular. Many believers of the Goddess of Luck come back to pray whenever they have time. In addition, the church has decided to build a temple. I believe that the construction of Ghost Owl Town will soon be put on the agenda. It also means that this place will be transformed from a noble territory into a place of divine power, which the nobles will not be able to govern.
In a small town that has been targeted by a god, no one dares to mess around.
Of course, in reality, it was just a trick played by Lin, who pretended to be mysterious and had a high level, and deceived the priest with a few words. In addition, he had a mistress, the goddess of luck, as an invisible shield, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
It's worth spending any amount of money to easily satisfy Reimu's heart. After all... the last thing Rin lacks right now is money. In his eyes, even the concept of numbers has gradually disappeared.
While people outside were still talking about the miracle, Lin stayed quietly in the smelting room.
He had been at this job for more than a week, from pretending to be a god to packaging the miracle, and had finally prepared the required silver fire, with the temperature reaching the standard.
In addition to the forging furnace on the side, there is also a laboratory-specific electronic scale in front of Rin, and standing opposite him is Reimu.
Reimu was holding a piece of notepaper at this time, on which were all the materials and detailed steps needed for forging.
Lin had all these in his mind, but he had to analyze the material of "Nothing" on the one hand, keep the Silver Fire going on the other, and then prepare all the materials himself, so he didn't dare to do four things at once.
"Well, I'll start... 35 grams of star sand, add it when the temperature reaches 2100°..."
As Reimu explained, she stared at the electronic scale and the temperature symbols of the forge, always alert to Rin's mistakes. The entire smelting work was carried out in an orderly manner.
"After cooling the weapon, add a piece of Quegu Stone to it and forge it... The last step is to add the flying feathers of Blazing Flame Color No. 7."
Finally, it was the last step. Rin nodded at Reimu, indicating that she should help him wipe off the burning sweat on his head first. He lowered his head and carefully identified the bright red feathers in front of him. They were as difficult to distinguish as the color of a woman's lipstick, because... in Rin's eyes, the colors of the nine feathers in front of him were no different at all.
In the end, he almost gritted his teeth and picked out a feather that looked slightly brighter and threw it onto the hot sword.
With a "puff", Reimu suddenly remembered and slapped her head with regret: "I saw it wrong! It's number 1, color number 1!"
However, the materials have been lost, and you, silly girl, say you have a watermelon to use at this time?
Besides, Rin herself didn't know what number she had, and she opened and closed her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The sword on the forging table made a "puff puff" sound, and a green airflow wrapped around the blade, so that Rin and Reimu who were standing next to them could feel the wind blowing on their faces.
Afterwards, the wind pressure overwhelmed the flames, and soon the temperature of the entire room dropped. When looking at the forging furnace again, there was not even a spark, and it was completely extinguished.
Lin picked up his sword and found that the originally obvious metal blade had become an unknown material that looked like stone, crystal, and glass, and was a little transparent. When he reached close, he could clearly feel a wind blade as thin as a hair scraping across his fingers, which was cold, and when he touched it again, it seemed as if there was heat inside.
After all, the most important function of the Xigu Stone is to cool down the White Flame Flying Dragon. It is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and its material is very special. As the main forging material, it is normal to add a layer of BUG to the weapon.
In addition, Lin could clearly feel that the weapon's conduction of "qi" was also smoother. With the addition of "qi" and the "wind" of cutting, the sharpness increased by at least three times.
This time of forging, the sword almost reached the level of +7.
"It doesn't matter if it's number 1 or number 7, it's a success anyway!"
Rin played with the sword for a while with satisfaction before putting it away and walking out of the blacksmith shop with Reimu. He paid the owner of the blacksmith shop some rent, called Ryougi Shiki, who had been acting as a guard, and prepared to leave Oni Owl Town.
"Where are you going next?"
Lin thought about it for a while, touched his chin and said, "My first stage goal is to find Fortuna and Xiao Ai in person. They are now in the advanced galaxy area, and it is quite troublesome for us to go there. Let's go to the central planet of this galaxy first. I also want to upgrade my sword."
"The first stage?" Reimu blinked and asked curiously, "So there are other stages? Can you tell me about them?"
"It's about the comic book artist... well, it's still a long way off so let's not think about it. Let's go back to Owl City first and prepare for a long planetary roaming."
Returning to Owl City was a last resort. After all, only the teleportation center in the royal capital could teleport to other planets. Otherwise, Rin really didn't want to risk being stuck by the Moon Demon again and return to Owl.
Traveling between planets is not as simple as traveling within the same area. The transportation fee is naturally more expensive, and you have to bear the risk of encountering impulses and space turbulence.
The area of the teleportation array alone is much larger than that of ordinary teleportation arrays, but the passenger flow is not that good.
After entering the teleportation center that looked like an electric rice cooker, Lin handed in the teleportation fee for three people, signed the risk agreement, and waited quietly outside the teleportation room.
Interstellar shuttle resources are limited, and of course it is not like an ordinary teleportation center where no matter if it is one person or two people, they can leave whenever they want. It is like taking a plane, where you need to wait for the flight.
However, Lin was lucky enough to catch the nearest star teleportation. After waiting for only one or two minutes, the gate to the teleportation city was already opened.
After the three of them went in, what caught their eyes was a huge portal with a purple-black space sphere in the middle that was filled with lightning and thunder. The entire door frame was dark gold, giving it a sci-fi feel.
There were about ten people in the same class as them, who walked into the strange circle one after another and disappeared without a trace.
And when Lin himself stepped in, he just wanted to curse a few times MMP. The strong feeling of spatial tearing made his head almost explode. He could not see anything on both sides. Everything turned into gray and black. The sky was spinning and the earth was spinning. Even if he wanted to faint, he could not find any sense of direction.
When Lin regained his sight, his face was pale and he looked very bad. He held onto the railing and retched twice, looking like a man suffering from kidney deficiency and overwork.
Fortunately, the others were in a worse condition than him. Even Reimu and Ryougi Shiki were trying hard to hold back their vomiting. The people on the same flight, who looked like they had overindulged themselves, had already rushed to the bathroom. The few remaining people were sitting in groups of three or four on the benches outside, silently catching their breath and recovering.
“The experience was terrible. If there was a rating system, I would give all of them bad reviews.”
Lin complained a few words and stood up straight, seeming to have fully recovered. Reimu beside him wrapped her coat tightly as usual, looking at the snow and mountain peaks outside the window, and said curiously: "We seem to have come to a kingdom of ice and snow."
"It's the Ice Kingdom." Lin added as he led the two girls out of the teleportation center, "This entire galaxy is made up of continuous mountains, with wind and snow all year round, very bad weather, and a much worse natural environment than other planets. The reason why it can be the center of the Nuada galaxy is because the people here are all direct descendants of Nuada, the Snowmen, emmm... can be understood as the barbarians in Diablo 2 or the more powerful Vikings."
Shi didn't understand the game, but he knew about Vikings. He roughly sketched out the image in his mind and nodded to show that he understood.
"The severe snowstorm not only made the entire planet full of hills and gullies, but also tempered the perseverance of the Snowmen... The book says that every Snowman is a born warrior. They are brave and fearless, and are good at fighting. They are the most powerful arms of the god Nuada."
After a brief introduction, the three of them had walked out of the teleportation center. The sky and the earth were dark, reflected in deep blue by the white snow. The cold wind was howling, and looking in front of them, there were only endless snow-capped mountains and plateaus, and mottled and rugged rocks.
"Finally... the Ice Kingdom only has polar nights, and will never see the sun or dawn."
Chapter 17: The evil Rin is preparing to become a lover?
Suddenly feeling the cold, Reimu got goose bumps all over her body. She jumped on the snow and channeled her spiritual energy throughout her body, and then she felt a lot more comfortable.
Even if they have the power to withstand the freezing cold, people living on the ice fields will still wrap themselves tightly in fur coats to consume as little energy and strength as possible to fight against more dangerous enemies.
Lin's boots made a "crunching" sound as they stepped on the snow. She opened her cell phone to check the time, then looked up at the faint light that had sunk above the ice. It was similar to the moon on Earth, but it could never be seen and could only be seen vaguely in the light reflected by the snow.
"Hmm... weird, why are all the houses built around the mountain? Aren't they afraid of avalanches?"
At a glance, you can see the buildings on the snow-capped mountain opposite, circling around the mountain towards the top. In other words, if you go down the mountain along the road, there will be houses everywhere on the roadside.
Snowy mountains are prone to avalanches, and in her opinion, building a room halfway up the mountain is simply impossible.
"Well, there's probably a shield or something. This is a higher world, and an avalanche to this world is just like snow in our world."
Shiki suddenly stopped and looked at Rin: "Our world? So, we are really in the same world?"
"No." Lin scratched his face and explained, "Although it's not the same world, but overall they are all human beings, and ordinary people live by the same rules. They have the same language and culture. It's more appropriate to say that they are similar worlds."
Seeing Shiki opening her mouth to ask something, Rin interrupted her and pointed to the distant sky, which was mainly green with some blue and purple light: "Look, the aurora! It seems to be very common on this planet. It's strange, isn't it? We are always isolated from the stars, but we still have solar wind."
"..."
The two girls looked at each other... They didn't understand, so they just kept going.
Rin breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Shiki would ask why he knew her or how he summoned her... It would be easier with other girls, but with Ryougi Shiki's personality... Rin was really worried that she would uninstall his game.
After walking for a while, they finally officially entered the town. This place is called Meteorite City. It used to be the capital of this planet... that is, the Ice Country. Later, a disaster destroyed the entire city-state, and they had to move to Winter City. Meteorite was rebuilt hundreds of years later when the ice peak formed again.
The disaster that year did not destroy the teleportation center. A teleportation array that can travel between galaxies is extremely expensive, so it was not rebuilt and the ruins of Meteorite City were still used.
There were houses everywhere along the mountain road, and except for the tavern, the lights in other rooms were off.
If you don't follow the way down the mountain, but take the trail to the end, there is a long plank road. The cold alloy chain sways slightly because of the cold wind, but it is firmly connected to the mountain at the other end.
Familiar with the environment of the iceberg, the three of them prepared to speed up their movement. The orange-yellow light in the corner of their eyes attracted all their attention.
"That light... isn't the Aurora either, what's going on?!"
Because of other mountains blocking the view, Rin couldn't see clearly. He exchanged a glance with Reimu, then looked at Ryougi Shiki. He suddenly remembered that although Shiki had great physical strength and jumping ability, she probably couldn't stay in the air.
