Chapter 47-47- The Beginning of the Journey
Rosalyn left a lot of letters, but over time, the intervals between them would become longer and longer.
In the monotonous life, Yvette's life became more and more monotonous.
She regularly went hunting at sea, devouring aberrant creatures above the second stage. She often read at home, both professional and miscellaneous. She was addicted to sleeping on rainy days, believing it allowed her to forget all her worries. Occasionally, she would go under an overpass to look after a few pheasants that her students had been so fond of.
In this kind of life that goes on day after day and year after year, every critical year when it comes to opening the next letter, her eyes as calm as still water will show a little more emotional fluctuation.
But at the same time, during this long wait, a somewhat sad answer seemed to emerge in her heart.
…
One hundred years, and another hundred years.
There was no aurora, nor that familiar voice.
Until one sunny morning after the rain, after reading the last letter representing the 200th year, Yvette turned her head and stared out the window for a long time. Finally, she picked up a pen and paper and decided to start writing a letter.
This is a letter written to students, and also a message before a long journey.
She thought that if Rosaline was still alive and really returned to the End of the World, she would be more likely to appear on the three major continents of this world than on the Island of Ish due to the uncertainty of the landing point of the Abyss.
Therefore, instead of waiting, the probability of meeting students again by taking a long trip and walking around the three continents will actually be much greater.
Of course, she also knew that this was self-consolation.
According to Black Tower Medicine's research, the effect of magical practice on life expectancy is very small and is limited by the life form. If the genes remain unchanged, living to 180 years old is the limit - considering Black Tower Medicine's leading position in life extension technology, these statements should be considered very authoritative.
But the Glowing Continent is, after all, a world of medium or high magic, a world where true gods exist.
Who knows what's happening in the other world?
Anyway, she would keep hope until she saw Rosaline's tombstone with her own eyes.
That's why she wrote the letter here, lest the student suddenly come back after she set out on her journey and find that the teacher was missing.
In the letter, she would tell the students what her travel route was, and which city ruins she would visit and leave messages at. If she saw them, she could go to the terminal and walk in the opposite direction so that the two could meet earlier.
…
Leave a note.
Seal the doors and windows.
Put all important things in the basement.
After completing all the preparations, Yvette, wearing a black dress and carrying an alloy battle blade behind her, sat in the driver's seat of the magic motorcycle, ready to start her first doomsday tour.
Compared with the scrap metal she used two hundred years ago, the silver-white magic motorcycle she is using now has a more mechanical beauty and is much larger in size. It is basically an RV.
This was of course the result of modification. After all, she was about to embark on a period of wandering around the world, and she had to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Otherwise, sleeping in the wild all the time would not only be unsafe, but it would also easily dirty her clothes or attract small insects.
Of course, she could also avoid sleep altogether, but she would be very sleepy. She was more tolerant of hunger, but it was different with sleepiness. As long as the conditions allowed, she still liked to sleep.
…
Half an hour later, driving a large magic motorcycle the size of a truck, Yvette saw everything outside the window gradually being swallowed up by the endless blue sea.
Ish Island became a small dot that gradually moved away behind him, while on the distant sea level, the waves rolled wildly in the sunlight, like a school of golden fish.
The name of this ocean is "Yuanliu Sea", which is the ocean west of Kuroshio Island.
If you look at a square map, the distribution of the three continents of the origin civilization actually looks like a straight line slanting from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.
That is, Kuroshio Island is in the upper left corner, Jade Island is in the middle, and Silver Mirror Island is in the lower right corner.
This way, travel planning will be easy since it will just go diagonally downwards.
Soon, after leaving the waters around Ish Island, underwater monsters began to emerge from time to time and attack the passing RVs, but they would immediately be pierced through the bodies by the silver-white hair and turned into fleeting mummies.
This was another major reason why Yvette chose to embark on the journey, that is - she had already fished out all the high-level deformed creatures in the waters around Ish Island.
Although she would not attack the first-stage aberrations because the cost outweighed the gain, the increase in magic power provided by the second-stage aberrations was better than nothing.
Therefore, on this journey, she was looking forward to encountering more third-order deformers. Only at this stage could she gain more obvious benefits.
However, the total amount of distortion magic is still difficult to calculate. If the unit is a first-stage distortion, then her current distortion magic is about 40,000 points - and her magic value at this time is just over 2,000.
However, there is definitely a problem with this comparison. The less distortion magic you use, the less magic you have, but the magic value can be quickly restored through meditation.
So under normal circumstances, as long as conditions permit, she will first use magic to cripple her prey, and then devour it with her tentacles, which can save a lot of distortion magic expenditure.
…
The days of drifting at sea lasted for about a week.
In fact, with the flying speed of the RV, two to three days is definitely enough to fly to the west coast of Kuroshio Island.
But unfortunately, she encountered a monster war on the way, forcing her to take a long detour.
One of the two sides in the monster war was the "Metal Seadramon" that Yvette had witnessed with her own eyes.
On the other side, there was a purple-red jellyfish as huge as a mountain. Its umbrella-shaped body was covered with the outlines of painful human faces. It mainly used tentacles to attack and was named "Nightmare Touched Spirit" by Yvette.
While watching from a distance, Yvette once wondered if these two giant deformed creatures were simply large in size and not very evolved.
But when she saw them fighting each other with all kinds of mysterious spells that could not be deconstructed, Yvette was certain that the evolution level of these two giant deformed creatures must be very high, at least higher than the third stage.
Especially the pulse beam ejected from the mouth of MetalSeadramon, she even doubted whether it could blow up a mountain.
In short, it was far beyond her ability to commit fraud at the moment, so she simply chose to take a detour. It was not until a week later that she found the west coast of Kuroshio Island after being lost in endless ways and landed with difficulty.
…
On the first day of arrival, it was almost dusk.
Yvette parked the RV on the beach and slept for a night. Early the next morning, she headed towards the nearest metropolis belonging to the New Eden United States based on a pre-apocalyptic map in her hand.
The name of this target city is "Agashe". Before the end of the world, it was a metropolis that was no less than the city of Ish. Its level of development was among the best in the entire New Eden United States.
She planned to stroll around the city, see the sights, pick up some scraps, and leave a trace in the city center.
Since the energy consumption of flight mode is five or six times that of normal mode, in order to save energy and to have a better feeling of traveling, she uses four wheels to run on the ground while moving forward. Wherever she passes, the wheels kick up clouds of dust and flying dirt and rocks.
Then, several hours passed, and as the ruins of buildings ahead began to increase gradually and were approaching the ruins of the city, she suddenly saw a figure walking out of a ruined building on the side of the road and standing on the side of the abandoned road in the distance, waiting for her to drive closer.
Yvette was stunned. Although she had also imagined whether she could meet other living people on the continent, whether they were survivors or time travelers, she didn't care.
But meeting him the day after arriving was too fast.
Then, through the glass, she saw the other person clearly.
At first glance, this is a human girl wearing exploration clothes, holding a flashlight, and having an adventurer style. However, if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are slightly different from those of humans, there are obvious circular seams at the key points of her arms, and the gloss details are not very similar to human skin.
——This is actually a mechanical puppet.
"Hello, kind lady."
After Yvette parked the car, the puppet girl said in a calm but polite tone, "I'm a traveler from Silver Mirror Continent. My car has run out of power and won't start. Could you please give me a ride to the nearest temple?"
