Renee finally woke up.
When they found her, she was showing off her food. After washing up, she must have taken a spare set of clothes from the Lord of the Rings and changed into them. The dark brown adventurer outfit fit her perfectly, and she looked much better.
Upon seeing Su Bai, she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth, placed her hands on her knees, and sat up straight.
"My benefactor!...When can you take me home?"
She tentatively probed.
"What's wrong? You can't get used to the food?" Su Bai asked instinctively, thinking like a typical Chinese person, but it made her look panicked. She quickly explained, "No, no, no... the food here is delicious, it's just... I have an eighty-year-old father and a six-year-old sister, and I miss them terribly!"
"Where did you learn to be so glib?"
Su Bai was stunned.
He continued, "I can't send you back right now. The sea is too rough, and I don't even have a boat. But you can write a letter first, and I'll have someone deliver it to your home so your family can think of a solution."
But Renee interpreted those words differently.
She nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "I will write it. I will definitely ask my father to send more gold and silver jewelry. My family is very rich!"
Su Bai's face darkened. "It's a letter asking you to write a message letting me know you're safe, not a blackmail letter!"
"I understand!"
Renee's fingers intertwined as she pleaded humbly, "Um... please don't send your fingers in the letter, okay..."
"...I've never liked sending fingers." Su Bai said with a dark face, walking up to her and grabbing her ear. "I prefer sending ears to the families of those who have been kidnapped! I think your ear is quite nice, white and tender, you might as well keep it as an accompaniment to your drinks!"
"Wow!"
Renee burst into tears, "Don't cut off my ears! It looks awful with my ears off! You might as well just kill me! ...Uh, just cut off my ears!"
Snap!
The tears that were about to fall were slapped back by Su Bai.
"Enough with the nonsense, where's the star chart?"
He got straight to the point.
“Here…” Renee timidly handed over a round stone disc about half a meter in size.
The stone disc is grayish-white in color and very light in the hand. It is engraved with earthworm-like patterns, and at the intersection of each pattern, there are small gemstones of different colors, about the size of rice grains.
Watching.
It's like a sky full of stars.
"Hmm, this thing..." Su Bai felt that this so-called star chart looked somewhat familiar.
Renee carefully reached out and touched the sapphire in the center of the stone plate. A blue light immediately lit up the stone plate, and the patterns and stars rose from the stone plate and quickly spread throughout the room, forming a magnificent and dazzling starry sky!
"This..." Su Bai was stunned for a moment.
Renee then said, "This star chart is a family heirloom, but because an important part is missing, no one has ever known how to use it or what these patterns actually symbolize."
"I only found a tiny clue in ancient books."
As he spoke.
She lightly tapped her finger towards a twinkling star that was closest to them.
The surrounding star map suddenly shrank.
Instead.
It was a giant planet model floating in front of the two people.
The planet's structure is extremely similar to Earth's. Sixty to seventy percent of its surface is covered by blue oceans, and most areas are shrouded in fog, like an unexplored system map that cannot be viewed.
In one corner of this blue planet, a beam of light shines.
Wait until it turns to face you.
Su Bai was slightly taken aback.
Isn't this a miniature model of Dragonfall Island? The shape of the entire island is like a headless dragon, and looking out over Dragonfall Island is a crescent-shaped land port, which is none other than Port Hermadai!
"Look, this is Fallen Dragon Island! 'Where the starlight guides us is the right path I seek!'"
"Rene said excitedly."
Then, she touched her not-so-bright head.
"However... I'm a little confused as to why astrological charts depict the world we live in as a sphere. Does it mean we all live on a sphere...?"
She said it half-jokingly.
"Maybe it really is."
Su Bai said casually.
The world is round; this is a fact that doesn't need much explanation to people on Earth, it's a truth that everyone has known since childhood.
But then again...
It seems that no one in my previous life had actually studied this problem.
He had also considered that the area of the immortal world was dozens of times larger than Earth. Perhaps, in this world that defies common sense, the immortal world was actually a flat continent.
It turned out to be round too.
"How is that possible!" Renee exclaimed in disbelief, finding it hard to accept. "If our world is round, wouldn't the people living on the other half fall down? Or fly in the sky all day?"
"Wait a minute... what about the ocean! Seawater is flowing, won't it flow back over to our side at any time?!"
"Oh my God!"
She has already begun to worry about the future.
“...”
Su Bai didn't know how to explain the existence of gravity to her. Of course, the truth wasn't absolute. What if the force that prevented this world from collapsing was actually another kind of existence? Like divine power?
"...How did I get caught up in this too?"
He came to his senses.
The only function of this star chart is to display the clues left by the red-haired witch; it has no other purpose. Moreover, the countless stars that form the galaxy are basically just decorations that cannot be clicked.
Su Bai guessed that the places that could be shown were probably places the Red-Haired Witch had personally visited, but even on this planet, 80% of the area was still unexplored.
perhaps.
This star chart is merely a projection she imprinted, modeled after the starry sky.
"Besides this, are there any other clues?"
Su Bai asked Renee.
"ah?"
Renee seemed stunned.
Su Bai took a deep breath. "You only got a rough location, and you dared to come here all by yourself? Do you think you have a god protecting you?"
"I...this...isn't it either..."
She blushed slightly and stammered for a long time.
He asked, "Does a dream count?"
"Dream?"
Su Bai looked at her.
Renee immediately became excited, "It's a prophetic dream that only astrologers would have! It's incredibly accurate! I dreamt of guidance; as long as I come here, I'm sure I'll find clues about the Red-Haired Witch!"
"More details?"
Su Bai asked.
Renee seemed to have her mouth gagged again, staring at him expectantly, and after a long pause, she could only utter two words, "It's gone."
"...."
Su Bai took a deep breath.
