Chapter 694 Arrival in Hong Kong
In the daytime, somewhere on the sea.
The sky was clear and the sea was surging. Between the vast sea and sky, a huge white passenger ship was sailing forward, cutting through the blue waves. On the deck of the passenger ship, countless out-of-town passengers gathered here, taking advantage of the good weather to enjoy the sea view while having afternoon tea.
Somewhere on the wide platform of the rear deck of the cruise ship, next to a fixed open-air dining table with an umbrella, Dorothy, wearing a white dress with a sailor uniform style and a ponytail on one side, was sitting here, enjoying the sea breeze while drinking afternoon tea with the desserts prepared on the ship. Opposite her was Nephthys, who was wearing sunglasses, a plaid shirt and light-colored clothes and pants. At this moment, she was sitting with her legs crossed, looking at the vast sea in the distance.
"I didn't expect... that only a year has passed, and I have to go to Beiwu again... Being a Beyonder is similar to us archaeologists, often going out to do field work..." Nephnesse said while drinking tea. Dorothy, who was standing next to her, raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing her words, and then asked back.
"Oh, so Senior Neveu, do you think being a Beyonder is more tiring, or attending university classes?"
Dorothy asked this. Listening to her words, Nephnis couldn't help but tap her chin with her finger and thought for a while before answering.
"Well... I feel that being Feifan is more difficult. First of all, there are too many dangerous things, not to mention that. Secondly, every time I go out, it is a long journey, going abroad, and the journey back and forth is very tiring. I feel that I have experienced more in the past year than in the past ten years combined, and most of them were terrifying. When I came back to normal classes in the second half of the year, I felt so relieved and comfortable...
"If my family hadn't been cursed, I probably wouldn't have gotten too deeply involved in the extraordinary field. At most, I would have just treated it as a hobby. However, my family's curse is destined. I'm afraid I'm not born to enjoy such a comfortable life..."
Neveu spoke with some emotion. After listening to her words, Dorothy took a sip of tea and then spoke slowly.
"It's okay. After your family's curse is lifted, you can choose how to live your life. But by then, you will have already entered the secret world, so it will probably be a bit difficult for you to live a completely normal life again."
"Ha... As long as the problem of the Pharaoh's curse is solved, there won't be any difficulty in this problem. Anyway, I hope I can find clues to lift the curse this time I go to Beiwu. I've taken a long leave and must have missed a lot of classes. It would be a big loss if I go back empty-handed."
With a light laugh, Neveu said to Dorothy, and Dorothy responded with a smile after listening to her speech.
"Don't worry, your studies are the least of your worries. If you really can't let go, I can spend some time to self-study to the level of your professor, and then give you a special tutorial. I will definitely not let you fail to graduate."
"Ah... is that so..." After listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnesse couldn't help but scratched her head and said, "Oh." At this moment, she remembered the experience of being taught by Dorothy in the past. To be honest, the pressure at that time was much greater than when she was in normal classes.
Seeing Neveu's reaction, Dorothy continued to smile and turned her head to look at the endless sea beside her. Then, at this moment, she was also thinking about what she would encounter when she went to North Wu again this time.
…
After returning to Tivian for a brief period of preparation, Dorothy brought the "school equipment" given by Beverly and found Greg again, saying that she was going to another famous foreign university as an exchange student for a semester, so she would not be in Tivian for some time in the future.
Since the matter was related to Dorothy's studies, and Beverly had invited a big figure in the education field who was related to Crown University and had sufficient influence to take charge, Greg agreed to Dorothy's exchange student plan without much thought for his sister's future prospects, and was even more proud of his sister's excellent academic performance.
The reason why Greg agreed to Dorothy's travel proposal so readily was not only because he sincerely cared about Dorothy's studies, but also because he felt that Tivian had become increasingly unstable in recent times.
The Eight-Pointed Nest has penetrated deeply into the official extraordinary institutions and has been unable to be eliminated. After returning to Tivian, there are traces of their activities everywhere in the city. Last year, there was even a sudden attack on the church by the cult. The former Archbishop of Pritt was forced to return to the Holy Mountain to recuperate due to injuries. The director of the Security Bureau on his side was also injured in the cult's attack. The Chant Cathedral became a battlefield, and large-scale extraordinary phenomena were raging outside the suburbs.
After experiencing all these periods, Gregor felt that Tivian, as the capital of Prit, was no longer safe. It was targeted by many extraordinary forces. Even the Red-level extraordinary people could not absolutely protect themselves here, let alone ordinary civilians. Although there has not been a large-scale extraordinary disaster that has severely affected civilians, Gregor, who has seen various signs, believes that it is not surprising that such a thing would happen even now.
Therefore, Greg is now very inclined to let Dorothy temporarily leave Tivian and live somewhere else. It will not be too late for her to come back after this dangerous period.
So, after getting Gregor's consent and making preparations, Dorothy immediately bought a boat ticket to North Wurm and took Nefernis with her on the journey again. Since this journey might allow them to come into contact with the Undead King like Hafdar and have the opportunity to seek to lift the curse on their family, Nefernis directly agreed to start the journey with Dorothy again.
Dorothy and Nephnis set out from Tivian by boat, transferring at ports along the coast of various countries along the way. After spending almost two weeks, they finally arrived in North Wu again, the hot sand continent they had set foot on before.
Just like herself and many other travelers who came to Northern Ukraine last time, Dorothy and Nefernis’ first stop when they arrived in Northern Ukraine was still Kankedal, known as the gateway to Northern Ukraine.
Dorothy and Nefernis stopped their journey in this largest port city in northern Ukraine. They stayed here to have a good rest and relieve the fatigue of the journey. At the same time, they also visited the old place and felt the recent changes in the city. Of course, their waiting was not just for rest, but they really wanted to wait for someone.
…
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Dorothy and Nephnis arrived at Kankedal one afternoon a few days later. The Kankedal port was bustling with people.
