Xingjian took out a familiar prop.

Bamboo dragonfly.

This was the prop they used when they first met, and it was also her first opportunity to experience "flying".

"Hold on."

Hoshimi gently pressed one of them on Liu's green hair and wore the other on her own head. The blades of the bamboo dragonfly began to rotate, creating a slight sound of air flow.

Liu subconsciously grabbed Xingjian's wrist. This action made both of them stunned at the same time. Therefore, when she was escaping from the chase in the dark alley, she also grabbed Xingjian's arm and flew away from the desperate situation.

"This time... let's change the way we hold it." Xingjian suddenly turned his wrist and interlocked his fingers with Liu.

"Shh-!"

The two of them soared into the air, the morning light gilding their figures. The walls of Orario quickly shrank beneath their feet, and Ryu's green hair and Hoshimi's dress entangled in the air.

The bamboo dragonfly carried them across the clouds and sped towards the sword-making city in the distance.

----

Chapter 78 Hermes, you are always there during every anti-pornography crackdown!

The wind was howling and the clouds were moving under my feet.

Liu's green hair fluttered in the wind as she looked down at the receding Orario. The entire city gradually turned into a silhouette on the horizon in the morning light.

"It's really fast. If we take a carriage, it will take at least two to three days to reach Zolingen." Liu said softly, his voice almost swallowed by the wind.

Xing Jian turned his head and raised a smug smile: "How about it, much better than the slow carriage, right? This is a high-tech product."

Liu didn't answer, but her fingertips slightly tightened the hand clasped with Xingjian's, and her eyes looked into the distance——

Continuous mountains, winding rivers, and the border of the Kingdom of Lakia looming in the distance.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the elf girl's profile, reflecting a rare softness.

however--

A few hours later.

"...Hmm?" Xingjian suddenly noticed that the speed of the bamboo dragonfly above his head began to slow down, and the buzzing sound of the rotating blades gradually became sluggish.

"What's wrong?" Liu was keenly aware of something unusual.

"Uh..." Xingjian laughed dryly, "Looks like the battery is running out."

“…No electricity?”

Before Liu could react, the bamboo dragonfly's rotation speed suddenly dropped, and the altitude of the two began to drop rapidly.

"pay close attention--!"

Hoshimi grabbed Ryu's waist and began to descend to the ground.

Landing steadily on the ground, all I could see was a plain. This place was very peaceful and vast.

"What should we do now? If we walk, we won't reach Solingen until tomorrow."

Seeing Xingjian put away the bamboo dragonfly, Liu asked curiously.

"It's okay. I don't have many offensive weapons, but I have a lot of transportation items."

The 22nd century is mainly rich in props that require convenient transportation, so Xingjian also drew many related props.

As he spoke, Hoshimi took out the [Hyperspace Cutter] and took out a rope from the other dimension.

"This is?"

"Magnetic Levitation Train Combo!!"

Props: Maglev train set (also translated as tram game rope).

Effect: It is a prop of Doraemon. It looks like a rope used in ordinary train games, but it can reach a speed of 380 kilometers per hour thanks to the effect of the earth's magnetism. However, because the user's feet still need to follow the movement, it consumes a lot of physical energy for the user, and he must be careful not to let go and fall off.

Appears in: The long story "Nobita and the Birth of Japan". Because the bamboo dragonfly has a low battery problem, Doraemon takes it out to allow the group to move towards the Anno Palace more quickly.

This prop is very similar to another prop, the tram game rope, but it has more powerful functions.

"How do I use it?"

Liu's slender fingers pinched the seemingly ordinary hemp rope, and his lake blue eyes were full of confusion.

"Just like this." Xingjian suddenly grabbed Liu's wrist and led her to loop the rope into an oval. The moment the rope loop fell to the ground, a dark blue magnetic grid suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Hold on to me."

Before Liu could react, he felt a strong pulling force coming from his waist, his shoulder-length green hair suddenly flew up, and his vision was instantly stretched into a blurred color band.

"Ugh——!"

A strong wind of 380 kilometers per hour hit us in the face.

Liu subconsciously hugged Xingjian's back tightly. The elf's sharp vision caught the scenery on both sides retreating like lightning:

The dandelion fluff solidified in the air, the hare's kicking movements were stretched into slow motion, and even the flapping of birds' wings seemed extremely slow.

"This is faster than all the wind magic..."

Liu's voice was torn apart by the wind. She suddenly found that the hem of her clothes was fluttering like a child's toy flag, and her cheeks suddenly became hot.

"But why does it have to be... this posture..."

Xingjian turned around and grinned, "Of course, the props used by the childcare Doraemon must be designed to make the children happy!"

As Xingjian spoke, he suddenly made a sharp turn and the elf girl pressed her whole body against his back.

Amid the whistling wind, Liu felt her heartbeat was even more intense than the buzzing of the maglev rope. Her green hair fluttered in the wind. She tightly grasped the corner of Xingjian's clothes, and her cheeks were slightly hot, not sure if it was due to the speed or something else.

This looks just like...

Are the eloping couple escaping their marriage?

No, no, no...

She and Hoshimi haven't made the long-lasting vow of eternal love for each other under the moonlight in their hometown forest. The two of them can't be considered a couple yet!!!

As time went by, about two or three hours later, Xingjian and Liu were about to reach the border of the Kingdom of Lakia.

Just then, there was a commotion ahead.

"Help! It's a group of goblins!"

A caravan was surrounded by dozens of goblins, with the goods scattered all over the ground and the guards struggling to resist.

In the world of Dicuo, monsters are not only found in the dungeons of Orario, but also appear on the surface. However, these monsters are usually weak, and even LV1 adventurers can easily defeat them.

"Do you need help?" Xingjian asked, turning his head.

Liu's eyes instantly became sharp as a knife, and he nodded: "Of course."

The two men suddenly stopped and the light of the maglev train rope gradually went out.

Xingjian quickly put away the props and took out a metal air cannon from the other dimension.

"I'll clear the area." Xingjian put the air cannon on his hand and aimed it at the area with the most goblins. "You'll be in charge of close combat."

Liu didn't answer, but her figure rushed out like a ghost.

"boom--!"

The wind pressure shock wave generated by the air cannon instantly blew away five goblins, and Liu turned into a green stream of light, and the wooden sword drew countless green tracks in the sunlight. The movements were so fast that almost no one present could see clearly, but each knife pierced the goblin's throat or heart accurately.

In just ten seconds, the battle was over.

The surviving caravan members stared at this scene in amazement, and the captain of the escort stammered:

"Are you two... adventurers from Orario?"

Xingjian smiled and put away the air cannon: "Just passing by."

Liu silently shook off the bloodstains on the wooden sword and returned to his usual indifferent demeanor.

"Thank you so much! Without you, we would be in great danger! Please accept these..."

The caravan leader stepped forward excitedly and handed over a bag of gold coins.

"It's okay, it's easy."

Xingjian declined politely, thinking that this little Karami was not even as much pocket money as Hephaestus gave him, so he just regarded it as a good deed.

"Mr. Xingjian, we have to continue on our journey."

Liu glanced at the sky and whispered.

Hoshimi nodded and took out the maglev rope again: "Let's go, we should be able to reach Zolingen before dark."

When the magnetic levitation rope unfolded again, Liu looked at Xingjian's profile, which was gilded by the setting sun, and suddenly thought of the boy who always read heroic stories in the corner of the tavern.

At this moment, his back gradually overlapped with the silhouette in the story.

The two figures crossed the grassland like meteors, and in the eyes of everyone in the caravan gradually turned into a silver line on the horizon.

"Father! When I grow up, I must go to Orario and become an adventurer. I want to become a hero like them. Grandpa and grandma will definitely be very happy."

The boy stood on tiptoe, his pupils reflecting the distant light.

The captain of the guard looked at the towering silhouette on the horizon. It was the spire of the Tower of Babel, visible even from a hundred miles away. He placed his rough hand on his son's shoulder.

"Before that... you need to learn swordsmanship first."

The setting sun stretched everyone's shadows very long.

Orario, it is the center of the world, the place favored by the gods.

Beneath the towering Tower of Babel, elves and dwarves drank wine together, orc shop assistants shouted in shops illuminated by magic stone lamps, and Amazon warriors and human adventurers walked towards the tavern arm in arm.

Every day, new legends are born in the mist of the dungeon, and every night, countless encounters sprout at the banquet of the gods.

A bard named Babatos in the caravan plucked the strings of his harp, and the evening breeze carried his impromptu ballad far away:

"Olario, the City of Brave~"

"The Land Blessed by the Gods~"

"If you ask where the miracles in the world are——"

"Look at that chalk tower reaching to the sky!"

----

Not long after they left, the blue light of the maglev rope gradually went out, and the two landed on an open space by the lake covered with pine needles. Xingjian stretched, and his joints made a slight crisp sound.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the lake reflected the setting sun, dyeing the surroundings a warm orange-red.

On the distant treetop, a squirrel looked warily at the suddenly appearing human, with a freshly picked pine cone tightly clenched in its claws.

"Take a break. This thing is much more demanding on your waist than a bamboo dragonfly."

Xingjian rubbed his sore lower back and said.

Unlike the fully automatic bamboo helicopter, the tram game rope requires a certain amount of physical strength to operate. After a day of travel, Xingjian finally felt tired.

Liu nodded slightly, his green hair still showing traces of being messed up by the wind when moving at high speed.

"I'm going to look for some wild fruits."

The gourmet tablecloth requires mental energy to create food. In order to let Xingjian have a better rest, Liu turned around and prepared to hide in the forest after he finished speaking.

"Oh my, what a leisurely trip! Brother and that elf girl, you two were very agile just now."

A frivolous voice suddenly came from behind.

The frivolous voice carried the unique resonance of the divine realm. They both turned at the same time, and a figure appeared beneath the oak tree by the lake.

Under the shadow of the wide-brimmed feather hat, his short golden hair glowed like honey, and a playful smile hung on his handsome, almost enchanting face. The emblem of the winged travel hat and sandals embroidered on his cloak was faintly visible in the sunset.

Xing Jian was startled and immediately understood who the visitor was.

In ancient Greek mythology, Hermes, known as the God of Travelers, is the god of negotiations and contracts, and holds a large amount of information and secrets about Orario and its surroundings.

He has an uncertain whereabouts and likes to travel around. He has never stayed in one place for more than half a month.

Although the Hermes family was registered as the Exploration Department in the guild, they were actually involved in many fields such as commerce, mail, intelligence, etc., and they had the power to enter and exit Aurora freely, which other families did not have. Even Hermes himself was engaged in the professional service of delivering objects.

Therefore, Hermes is also known as the "messenger of the gods".

"God Hermes?" Xingjian narrowed his eyes.
