Chapter 179 You are back!
"I want to go back! Take me to her, Perrin."
"Impossible," Perrin refused decisively. Seeing that Godwin wasn't going to give up, he simply confessed, "Have you forgotten the price of your last time traveling through time? By the time you got to her, you probably had very little magic left."
Godwin was startled.
"But I have to go back."
"After two consecutive time travels, your soul was nearly torn into pieces. Do you think your current body can withstand another time travel? I'm afraid it won't even last half the journey!"
After Perrin ruthlessly slapped down this idea, Godwin fell into a long silence. Even Sabrina was moved by his dazed look. "Perrin, is there no other way to help Godwin?"
Godwin had faded into obscurity.
"Actually...it's not that there's no solution."
"What?" Two voices appeared at the same time, and Godwin's ghostly figure appeared in front of Perrin.
"Have you forgotten my magical talent?" Perrin pointed at himself. "Godwin can't go, but I can. At least I can help Godwin confirm the condition of the human lady."
Godwin's breathing became heavier, and his eyes flashed with a startling light. "Perrin, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, but I don't have the human lady's belongings, so I can't locate her directly. It might take some time. But that's not a problem. After all, I've been time-traveling for thousands of years, and no one has more experience in this area than me."
"Perrin, I owe you another favor."
"You, you owe me a lot from childhood. But I have to warn you in advance that it's hard to say whether she's still in that world."
"I know." Godwin uttered these words with great difficulty, his eyes flickering.
"Do you have any message for her?"
"I……"
Godwin opened his mouth and finally said only one sentence.
Perrin looked at his anxious expression and couldn't bear to tease him any more. Seeing his young wife Sabrina's similarly distressed expression, the Silver Dragon Perrin sighed softly.
The speed of time flows differently in each space and time. The human beings that Godwin is obsessed with may have already been submerged in the vast river of time, or perhaps 50 years on this continent are just a few breaths in her world.
Perrin certainly hoped it was the latter, but even so, for the young and ignorant Godwin, this first love that stirred his dragon heart was enough to cause him great pain. In the next few thousand years of his life, the time that human could accompany him would only be a few decades at most.
If that human really died of old age, it might not be a bad thing for Godwin.
Perhaps he shouldn't have given Godwin such a slim hope.
Perrin suddenly smiled easily. "Godwin, I remember that human was very impressed by your powerful magic. Don't be so depressed. Cheer up."
Godwin seemed to recall a conversation from long ago, an expression of approval crossing his face. He suddenly forced a casual and arrogant smile and said seriously, "I used to be so powerful even with casual training. If I get serious, don't scare me."
This was the Godwin he knew.
Confident, arrogant, and asking for a beating.
Perrin thought that a young man who had just broken up with his love always needed something to motivate him to grow.
Perhaps, by the time he recovers to his former peak strength, he will have let go of this feeling.
It has been a long time since Perrin married his wife. After all, he has traveled through time and space too many times. Compared with going to a new destination, he feels that the experience of being entangled with his wife is more novel.
But his most important friend was in need, so Palin had to treat the time travel as a job, going out for 5 days a week and resting at home for 3 days.
The annoying thing was that during the three days of rest at home, that annoying guy Godwin would show up at his house and ask him about every detail of the trip, so that he couldn't even talk to his wife Sabrina intimately about his longing for her.
Even if Perrin and his wife went on a date in the Elven Forest thousands of kilometers away from their home, Godwin would still greet them with a shameless face.
Perrin was so angry that he wanted to curse Long.
This guy doesn't have a wife himself, but you don't allow him to be intimate with his wife. Is this fair?
Fortunately, a year later, Perrin finally found the human lady that he and his wife had been thinking about.
"Human lady, you are still so young and beautiful. It is really a pleasure."
A handsome man in a well-tailored smoky gray suit appeared under a loquat tree laden with yellow fruits, took off his hat, and saluted the lady in front of him.
Shen Jiang looked at her old friend who appeared out of nowhere. She stood on the wooden rack and the loquat in her hand fell to the ground.
"Perrin..."
"I'm glad you remember me." Perrin smiled.
Of course Shen Jiang remembered him, but she could never forget the dragon who protected her with his life.
Perhaps because this was Godwin's good friend, or perhaps because this meeting was so incredible, Shen Jiang was so excited that he became incoherent: "Long time no see, I didn't expect we would meet again. I'm so surprised to see you here. How are you?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Silver Dragon smiled again.
Shen Jiang opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he wanted to say, and his originally excited expression gradually dimmed.
Silver Dragon's elegant and calm demeanor reminded her of Godwin. He could have been just as high-spirited and energetic, but to save her, he was no longer with her...
"I'm here for something." Silver Dragon cleared his throat.
Shen Jiang was a little flustered, because Yinlong was Godwin's only friend, and she came here naturally to find him. She suddenly became afraid that Yinlong would ask her where Godwin had gone.
She has always been unwilling to admit it and unwilling to face the truth.
But she couldn't deceive his friends either.
Seeing her strange expression, Yin Long didn't care and continued, "A crazy guy asked me to find you and bring you a message after seeing you. He said:"
"The weeds on the mountain have grown taller than people. It's really a nuisance."
Shen Jiang looked stunned as if he had seen a ghost.
who is he?
There seems to be only one answer.
Her heart couldn't help but surge.
These were the crucial words that Godwin had pondered for a long time. Perrin saw his expression shift, finally darkening. The little black dragon closed his eyes and carefully uttered what he considered the most important words.
Perrin was puzzled at first. "That's all? Nothing else?"
Godwin shook his head.
Perrin was so angry he laughed: "You're teasing me. I'm leaving my wife, who we've been married for less than a century, to go out and find someone for you, and you let me say something like that."
The little black dragon has always been arrogant and domineering. Perrin didn't expect that after all the things that happened, this guy is even more annoying than before, leaving him no time to go home and reunite with his wife all day long, and the words he brought are so insignificant and incoherent.
Unexpectedly, Godwin dropped his usual aloofness and explained earnestly, his voice soft and low: "I have a lot to tell her, but I don't dare ask her to wait for me. I don't dare tell her how much I miss her. If we can't meet again, all this will only burden her heart. My followers may seem open-minded, but they are actually the most secretive. I just want you to help me make sure she is happy now."
The silver dragon looked at the little black dragon, so shocked that he was speechless.
"Is Godwin all right?"
Shen Jiang didn't even realize that he was holding his breath subconsciously.
"He's incredibly lucky to have survived," Perrin said calmly, not mentioning any of the thrilling details or revealing Godwin's longing for her. "But his magic power isn't even as strong as a human mage right now. Haha, so what? Do you admire him less now?"
The human before him had already left a significant psychological scar, and he didn't want to give her more nightmare material. Perrin thought to himself that if his wife, Sabrina, were here, she would definitely praise him for his great progress.
Perrin smiled and thought that Godwin was lucky. Although he was badly injured after this incident, he finally found true love. What's more, this true love lady is not too old to die soon. Maybe Godwin still has time to return to her.
Shen Jiang also wanted to say something to Godwin, but after thinking about it, she did not choose to ask Yinlong to help relay it, but chose to record the screen with her mobile phone.
She knew that Godwin would be eager to see her.
The arrival of the silver dragon Perrin broke Shen Jiang's peaceful life. Her originally calm heart began to beat violently again. The dream she dared not hope for suddenly came true on an unexpected autumn afternoon.
Shen Jiang filmed a wealth of footage, including footage of Mingxin Hall, the small cafeteria next door, and the small park she frequented. Each clip featured her voice as a narrator, describing the changes that had taken place there over the past few days. Even Grandma Shen Anlian, Lin Yunqing, and the veteran Chinese medicine practitioners made appearances, greeting the camera warmly. They had no idea what the footage was for; they simply remained relaxed and at ease, as if it were any other day.
These days, apart from treating patients, Shen Jiang is either working in the fields or sitting in some small park. Now he finally has the time to pick up his phone and play with them, so they naturally get along very well.
Silver Dragon looked at the human behavior in some surprise. He really couldn't understand this young couple. One was talking nonsense that didn't matter, while the other was using a magic prop that could record images to record the trivialities of life.
Neither of these two guys knows how to pick out the key points.
Perrin couldn't understand the way these young people and young dragons loved, but that didn't stop him from completing his mission and returning home.
Sabrina must be waiting for him at home. He is not like these shy children. He wants to tell Sabrina that he doesn't want to go out anymore. He wants to stay at home with her all the time!
However, when Godwin learned that her believers were not only living well in her world, but their appearance had not changed with the years, she jumped out of bed, contrary to her usual behavior, and began to practice magic day and night.
Although Godwin was very frugal, the tablet's battery ran out quickly. Godwin looked at the black screen of the tablet and did not hesitate to find Palin.
In front of the evil little dragon he raised, Perrin was so annoyed that he lost his usual smile again, but Godwin's behavior made the silver dragon unable to bear it, so he helped them convey the message a second time.
After Shen Jiang learned that the price of a time travel was an immeasurable amount of magic power, he couldn't help but seriously ask Perrin how much magic power was needed to afford this time travel "ticket".
"I can collect a lot of magic crystals." Shen Jiang's face was full of eagerness and excitement.
Perrin couldn't bear to dampen the hope in her eyes, so he said gently, "Godwin's previous magic power level was roughly equivalent to tens of billions of you combined. I heard that the last time he came to your place, he not only lost all his magic power, but also fell into a coma for a while."
Shen Jiang was stunned. The magic power of billions of hers combined... could only last once.
How many magic crystals would that require? She had already used up countless magic crystals in her magic studies. If that were multiplied by tens of billions, Shen Jiang's steps would weaken, and she would almost fall.
If that was the case, she and Godwin would never meet again in this life.
Shen Jiang was dejected: "I will do my best."
Perrin knew she understood him, and smiled. Somehow, he couldn't bear it any longer, and offered solace: "Godwin is incredibly talented. It won't be hard for him to return to his peak. I imagine your hair will still be thick and black when we meet again."
"Well, it's about a seven or eight year wait."
For humans, seven or eight years sounds more bearable than waiting in an uncertain state. After all, it is finally something to hope for.
Palin probably doesn't know what it means to live every day like a year.
Shen Jiang's mouth was full of bitterness.
Perrin thought of the little ones on Godwin's Hill and suddenly changed the subject. "You've been gone for fifty years, but those little orcs you brought up there haven't left. Do you want to give them a message?"
What.
Shen Jiang raised his head suddenly, a little embarrassed: "Are they still waiting for me?"
Perrin nodded. "Yes. Those men seemed certain you would return, and despite their advanced age, they remained guarding the Lancôme Mountains."
"Thank you for telling me this important news. Please be sure to bring some gifts and messages to them for me!" Shen Jiang said anxiously.
Although she couldn't go back, she often recalled those vivid faces in her dreams at midnight. They held up the herbs in their hands in the sunlight and asked her, "Master Witch, is this okay?"
Or on a certain day off, they would sit together, several faces looking at her with sparkling eyes and listening to her speak.
…
The time they spent together was less than two months in total, but it was already deeply engraved in Shen Jiang's heart.
Shen Jiang immediately set to work, knowing this was a rare opportunity. She gathered a collection of supplies, including food, drink, and daily necessities. Based on Perrin's description, she immediately guessed the identities of the three individuals and carefully selected gifts for each of them. Finally, she found an atlas clearly depicting various medicinal herbs, their specific locations, and their effects. Ellis and the others couldn't read the text, but that didn't stop them from understanding what she was trying to tell them. She had previously taught them some herbal knowledge, and as long as they saw this clear atlas, they would know she was always with them.
Shen Jiang seemed to have an endless stream of explanations to offer. Perrin, observing her constantly moving lips, interrupted her, "Can't you just record a video like you did with Godwin? By the way, what is your magic tool made of? Why does it last so long? It breaks after just a few days."
After being reminded by him, Shen Jiang immediately bought two solar energy storage devices and said that with these, the tablet screen would no longer go black.
When Perrin came for the fifth time, Shen Jiang said happily, "Dear Mr. Perrin, you came at the right time. This is the magic crystal I just replaced. Although my ability is limited, I still want to do my best to share the burden."
Perrin looked at the small storage ring and thought to himself, isn't this the one he gave to humans? This storage ring was of such a level that even a novice dragon wouldn't bother using it when practicing magic. It was only a few square meters and couldn't hold much.
However, considering the simple and cramped living environment of this human being, it is estimated that even if they try their best, they can only collect ten magic crystals.
Maybe she was worried that it was too shabby, so she put it in the storage ring and didn't want him to see it.
He just glanced at it casually and put it in his arms.
Since getting married, he has begun to learn how to be considerate.
When it was brought to Godwin, he could hardly wait to take out the magic crystal inside.
It was too late for Perrin to stop it.
Perrin tried his best to comfort him: "Ahem, don't be too sad. Seven or eight years isn't a long time after all."
Suddenly, there was a small hill of bright stars in front of him, which made Perrin speechless.
"How come there are so many top-grade high-level magic stones?!"
He thought humans were poor, but it turns out that humans' true identities are actually mine owners?
Godwin laughed loudly. "Of course my humans found it for me."
Palin: ...
Who asked you.
He had originally wanted to go to the bottom of the Doha Sea to find some top-quality magic stones to help Godwin pass this level, but it turned out that he, the old father, was worrying about nothing.
Perrin thought of the human's somewhat embarrassed expression and thought, "You have so many top-grade Philosopher's Stones, why are you embarrassed? If it weren't for her reaction, how could he have misunderstood?"
This is not Shen Jiang's fault. She really thinks that the magic stone prepared for Godwin is a drop in the bucket. After all, according to her understanding, the magic stone Godwin needs should be tens of thousands times more.
However, she overlooked one thing: for a human like her, the combined effectiveness of these magic crystals was limited, due to the limited magical energy her body could stimulate! But Godwin was different. This many magic crystals were enough for Godwin to significantly shorten the time it took to recover to peak form!
Autumn goes and winter comes.
In the small vegetable patch in the yard, the green vegetables and fruits were covered with a thick layer of white frost.
As usual, Shen Jiang got up early and went out to pick fruits and vegetables to make breakfast for her grandmother.
A tall dark figure stood at the door, blocking her way, and before she could react, he had hugged her tightly.
Shen Jiang was suddenly shocked. How did this person break in from the locked door?
Before she could fight back, an inexplicably familiar aura made her freeze.
Shen Jiang struggled in disbelief. She looked up and saw that angular face. The originally sharp eyes were now filled with a gentle smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
