Flash by.
When Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, he was already in a city. He walked out of the street and looked to the left and right, but before he saw...
"Fuck, this stinks..."
The stench that rushed towards him almost choked Fang Zheng to death. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and activated the air purification technique the next moment, which saved him. Otherwise, Fang Zheng might have fainted without being able to breathe.
“Ouch… it’s fatal.”
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and fanned his mouth, then frowned and looked around.
There are simple houses all around, and the people on the street are also dressed in simple clothes. It seems that this should be a world similar to the Middle Ages, um... the West... the Middle Ages... oh...
Soon, Fang Zheng saw several young men dressed like mages and warriors and wearing armor and robes running hurriedly past.
And magic... um, Western fantasy world?
"But... this place is too dirty."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the muddy ground around him. This was a city after all, but it was nothing like the main world. Although the main world also looked like a medieval Western fantasy world, the use of magic in that world was already quite mature, so this kind of scene was no longer seen in human settlements.
Of course, some remote villages far from human habitation might still be very backward, but at least in the city, roads and three-way connections were all there. The dwarves dug out sewers, and the wizards paved the roads. At least on the surface, there was no big difference from the urban conditions in the 21st century where Fang Zheng lived.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case here… Well, maybe it’s because this is a slum?
I feel the level of civilization is not high.
Although he was somewhat confused, Fang Zheng was relieved. You know, when he first heard the Goddess of Order say that the third coordinate point was contaminated by chaos, he thought that the world had undergone some terrible changes. For example, similar to Diablo, where all humans in the world were almost killed by demons and could only hide in camps to survive, or similar to Radiation, where the entire earth was a desert, and the land full of radiation was full of lunatics and psychopaths.
But now it seems that this world is very normal, even more normal than the dark world. There is nothing wrong with people's behavior and conversation, and they speak clearly and in a very organized manner...
How does this look like a world invaded by chaos?
However, abnormal things are demons. Fang Zheng has not forgotten the lesson of the previous coordinate point. In the first coordinate point, humans are chaotic beasts, but their chaos is wrapped by the soul fragments of the star god. In those prosperous days, perhaps in that world, humans also lived a peaceful life like in this world now.
So what about here?
Fang Zheng walked and stopped, walked and stopped, comparing this world with the main world, and came to the conclusion that... the main world is more like a mature magical civilization system, just like people can use power and start large-scale manufacturing of airplanes, tanks, warships and submarines. Although it is not as digital as Fang Zheng's era, at least it has everything it should have and has matured.
However, this world is a magical civilization that has only just begun to develop. In most places, magic has not yet been used to improve living standards. Most people still use it on their own...
Fang Zheng circled around again and again, and found helplessly that this time he probably couldn't expect a Chtholly to fall from the sky like he did at the first coordinate point.
This is like throwing people into a sandbox game, but without even a mission objective, and without knowing who can issue missions... What kind of game is this?
No other way, check it yourself.
Fang Zheng found a relatively clean place with few people in the square and sat down, then summoned the "Whispering Banner".
"Start investigating everything here."
Since the system teleported itself to this city instead of somewhere else, it means that there should be a protagonist here, or a main quest or something like that... At the very least, there should be someone who is closely related to the fate of this world.
First of all, the name of this city...well, never heard of it.
Looking at the name that appeared on the "Whispering Banner", Fang Zheng thought for a moment and confirmed that he had not seen a similar name in similar games, movies, novels, etc.
Then there is the system of gods...Huh? It's actually a polytheistic civilization?
Fang Zheng was slightly surprised when he saw the long list of gods' names listed above. Polytheism is troublesome, especially the polytheism in the magic world. It's possible that every one of them is real, which is even more troublesome.
Um……
"ah!"
Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, suddenly, a scream was heard. Fang Zheng turned around and found that a little girl was standing next to him in surprise. She was looking at the "Whispering Banner" in Fang Zheng's hand with shining eyes.
"Book!"
"This isn't the book you should be reading, little girl."
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Fang Zheng also laughed, and then casually closed the book "Whispering Banner". When the little girl saw Fang Zheng close the book, she was obviously disappointed. Seeing this, Fang Zheng was also a little surprised.
"Do you like reading?"
"Yeah, I like it very much!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the girl nodded her head up and down desperately.
"In that case..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked up and down at the little girl in front of him. She looked no more than three or four years old, with long blue hair tied up with a wooden stick and stuck behind her head. Her clothes looked patched up, and she looked like she was born in a poor family. And maybe it was because of long-term malnutrition, the girl's face looked pale and unhealthy.
Well... a three-year-old child wouldn't be able to understand any book you give her. Besides, this is a different world, so the language is definitely incomprehensible.
Let me look for...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng flipped through the inventory. Those storybooks with words on them would definitely not work. The little girl was only three years old, she definitely couldn't read, and she definitely wouldn't understand. So I had to choose something with more pictures and fewer words... a comic? Then the comic in his hand...
This is the book that Eriri drew... This is definitely not okay, it's not good for the education of children.
This is some kind of Holy Black Fallen Revelation that Black Cat drew... This one isn't okay either, it's too childish, what if it gets passed on to kids?
This is a fairy novel... It's definitely okay to just look at the illustrations, but light novels still have words after all...
This one won’t work… this one won’t work either… oh oh oh, this one will work! Oh, and there’s this one too!
When he turned to the back, Fang Zheng finally found a book that met his requirements, with more pictures and fewer words. This was the fairy tale picture book he bought for Shion when he was sleeping with her in the fairy world. Shion was alone at the time and had never felt the warmth of home, so Fang Zheng, as her family member, told her stories every night and accompanied her to sleep... Well, Fang Zheng bought several storybooks at that time.
I didn't expect there are still some left.
"Then I'll give you this book."
Fang Zheng took out the big fairy tale picture book from the inventory and handed it to the little girl. Looking at the big fairy tale picture book in front of her, the little girl immediately smiled excitedly and stretched out her hand.
"Thank you, big brother... woo...!"
However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that when the little girl reached out her hand to take the picture book from Fang Zheng, she suddenly showed a painful expression, and the next moment, Fang Zheng saw the little girl close her eyes and fainted on the ground.
"Well……"
Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
What is going on?
"Maine! Maine!"
At this moment, Fang Zheng saw several boys and girls who were also dressed in rags running towards him from not far away and surrounding him.
"What did you do to Maine?"
"I didn't do anything."
Facing the children in front of him, Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly.
"I just said I wanted to give her a book, and she suddenly collapsed..."
This shouldn't be a scam, right? I've been in this situation for so many years, and now I'm having my first experience of scamming someone?
"Book?"
"Maine!"
At this moment, Fang Zheng saw another girl with green hair and a whip coming to the side of the little girl.
"I am so sorry to bother you, sir... My sister is not in good health... She often faints..."
"Oh, I see. Let me see."
Hearing the other party's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, then he stood up and walked to the little girl, observed her carefully, and then reached out and touched her forehead.
It's so hot! No... the magic power in this little girl's body is very strong.
Feeling the magic power in the girl's body, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This kind of magic power is rare even among the little girls in the Tiandao Palace... Could it be that he has traveled to some Qidian online novel? Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it does look a bit like a girl. She is weak and sickly, but has incredibly powerful magic power. If this is a boy, he must be the example of "This child is so terrifying, he must not be kept."
But girls... Is this a transformation story? Or a female-oriented story? There seem to be very few Western fantasy stories in the female-oriented story... Although I rarely read them myself.
Fortunately, it’s not a Qing Dynasty wear.
If I were to look at a group of princesses and princes, I would be so disgusted that I would die.
No, if it were Qing Chuan himself, he would just burn himself completely with fire.
Forget it, why are you thinking about this nonsense?
Fang Zheng came back to his senses, shrugged his shoulders, then took out his personal terminal, unfolded the medical glue, and shot it at the little girl in front of him.
Soon, the little girl's rapid breathing began to become steady, and her complexion also gradually began to improve.
"Maine!!"
Seeing that her sister was getting better, the girl with pigtails smiled happily. Then she looked at Fang Zheng and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, sir."
"Uh... no need to thank me, I just did it for the sake of convenience. Her illness should be almost healed, but she still needs to supplement her nutrition and eat more fruits. Oh, and take this book too. It was originally a gift for her."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a basket of fruit from his inventory and gave it to the girl along with the book. He then waved to the kids around him and left. To be honest, it felt really weird to see a group of kids kneeling in front of him, so Fang Zheng left immediately after he finished speaking. When the kids raised their heads and realized what was happening, Fang Zheng had already disappeared into the crowd.
It seems that there are no clues to be found here.
After walking around the city a few more times, Fang Zheng scratched his head and then closed his eyes.
Forget it, let’s try the prophecy spell.
Soon, the power of magic began to manifest itself, and then a vague future gradually emerged in Fang Zheng's eyes.
Deep caves, dim torches, and adventurers holding torches slowly drilled deep into the ground, but they did not realize that in the darkness, pairs of malicious eyes were staring at them, waiting, grinning, revealing ugly and evil smiles, and making barely audible laughter. Holding rusty weapons in their hands, they followed the adventurers silently.
The shadow of death is approaching, but those adventurers are still unaware of it...
Are these the only clues?
Fang Zheng opened his eyes and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Forget it, let’s go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of him began to change, from a town full of Western fantasy style to a dark and gloomy cave deep in the woods.
Looking at the pitch-black cave entrance in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and then walked in quickly.
He didn't encounter any enemies along the way, nor did he see any corpses. Fang Zheng just moved forward casually according to his intuition.
But Fang Zheng could sense that there was something in front of him. The malevolence it exuded was so obvious and so ugly that it was impossible to ignore it.
It's like a gathering of bedbugs and cockroaches.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Suddenly, at this moment, a scream sounded from the depths of the cave, and upon hearing the scream, Fang Zheng glanced over there, then quickly walked over there. At the same time, he raised his right hand, and a pitch-black sword emerged from Fang Zheng's hand. Then, Fang Zheng raised the sword and swung it forward.
“Swish!”
The pitch-black sword was mixed with bright red flames, and it flew towards the depths of the cave with a clear trajectory.
