Chapter 393: Her Ghost Boyfriend (19)

Su Xixi traveled through time and space to this strange world two years ago. She had met all kinds of people, elves and monsters, but it was the first time she had met a “fellow countryman”!

The “fellow countryman” she was talking about was Bai Yao, who had an oriental face like her. Su Xixi knew that if she told others about her experience of traveling through time and space, they would think she was crazy. Although she didn’t know whether Bai Yao had traveled through time and space like her, being able to meet a “fellow countryman” was enough to surprise her.

Bai Yao exchanged names with Su Xixi. She was a little interested in what Su Xixi said about the "lost technology". "Are there many people out there like you who can fly around on a broom?"

Su Xixi shook her head. "Of course not. Since the accident 20 years ago, the magic technology of the empire has regressed hundreds of years. Not to mention tools that can fly in the air, even trains running on the ground have lost their power source. And turned into a pile of scrap iron. "

Bai Yao smiled, "What is the power source you are talking about?"

Su Xixi pointed to a dull stone on the broom, "It is this kind of magic stone. This is a cultural relic that I finally found on the black market. It is very difficult to find such a thing outside now."

The empire was once glorious, relying on highly developed magic technology. Humans and elves cannot do without the magic stone.

This thing can not only facilitate people's lives and allow an ordinary human to do things that are like miracles, but also has a greater role in being used in wars. The reason why the empire can prosper is because of the existence of the magic stone.

But all the prosperity stopped twenty years ago.

At that time, a magical turmoil occurred. All the equipment that relied on the power of the Philosopher's Stone became ineffective. Scavengers could not take fortunes, magicians could not use magic, and all magical tools were stopped, including the military weapons of the royal army.

The failure of the Philosopher's Stone made the country that was highly dependent on it instantly regress hundreds of years. The empire also tried to remedy it, but it was all in vain.

People had to spend decades adapting to life without the Philosopher's Stone.

Even the Philosopher's Stone that Su Xixi had found with great difficulty was a defective product. She had a problem during the test flight, deviated from the direction, and finally fell into the forest. Fortunately, there were trees and grass as a buffer, otherwise she would definitely fall heavily.

Bai Yao said: "Are there many people like you out there?"

Su Xixi replied: "I have never met anyone like me out there. Many humans have brown and brown hair, while most elves have red hair. You are the first person I have met with black hair and black eyes."

Su Xixi remembered what she had heard during her adventure and said: "By the way, when I was sitting in the tavern before, I heard that a couple from the East were looking for their daughter. I heard that if their daughter is found, the reward will be tens of millions of gold coins!"

Su Xixi sighed again, "I don't know who will have such good luck."

Tens of millions of gold coins, enough for her to do a lot of research!

Thinking of this, Su Xixi couldn't help but look at Bai Yao again. Bai Yao's expression didn't change at all. The missing rich lady was definitely not her.

Su Xixi asked curiously: "Do you live in this forest?"

Bai Yao nodded, "Yes."

Su Xixi looked around. She didn't know where she fell. She just said: "Fortunately, I didn't fall into the legendary Silent Forest."

If this is the Silent Forest, there would naturally be no human residents.

Bai Yao blinked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with the Silent Forest?"

"The monsters living there are all legendary monsters!" Su Xixi rubbed her arms. "I heard from the old people that in the Silent Forest there are ferocious centaurs, vicious and terrifying swamp monsters, ghouls who cook people and eat them, little girls who deceive people with their cute appearance but have lived for who knows how many years..."

Su Xixi lowered her voice. "There are also shadow demons that can appear in any shadow. As long as you have a shadow, it can be everywhere."

Bai Yao glanced at the shadow on the ground. Her shadow was stretched out by the sunlight, and she couldn't see anything wrong. She raised her face and said with a smile: "Are they so scary?"

Su Xixi nodded seriously, "I found a lot of missing persons notices published in newspapers in the library. It said that 20 years ago, many mercenaries came to the Silent Forest to adventure, but some died and some disappeared. It is said that someone later found a mercenary's diary, which said that many people suddenly disappeared after crossing the stream. It was as if they went to another world."

And those who "went to another world" certainly never came back.

It is precisely because there are so many weird stories that the Silent Forest is cast with a shadow, so that no one wants to get close to this forest for so many years.

Bai Yao raised her head and glanced at Su Xixi's back. A corner of the tower was hidden in the clouds, not very real. She asked: "Have you heard of the tower in the forest?"

Su Xixi immediately said: "You are talking about the Tower of the Brave."

Bai Yao: "The Tower of the Brave?"

"That's the name given to commemorate the brave Gerald." Su Sisi's tone revealed admiration. "Legend has it that twenty years ago, Gerald went to the Silent Forest to save a princess who was captured by a dragon. Originally, he could have escaped and left after saving the princess, but in order to protect the residents of the town of Orton from being hurt by the crazy monsters, he went back to the forest alone and suppressed the monsters' riot."

Su Sisi sighed, "Of course, he died there, too."

So the Dragon Tower became the Brave Tower, as if when this name is mentioned, everyone will not forget the brave man who once saved humanity.

Bai Yao asked: "Do people outside still remember Gerald?"

Su Xixi had never thought that Bai Yao would ask this question. She was stunned for a while, "This... More than ten years ago, many people were still spreading his story, and stores of all sizes would sell things related to the brave."

But as time went by, the story of the brave man, who was once known to everyone, has now become just a line of words in history books:

Gerald, the son of light, chose to plunge into darkness and destroy the sunlight in order to save the world. His name of "brave man" is well deserved and will be immortal.

It is just such a short line of words that summarizes the life of the brave Gerald.

And the people who are still alive outside are still worried about their lives. In order to return to the magic age twenty years ago, the king sent batches of people to find a new magic stone.

Everyone is still busy and doesn't have much time to stop and think about those who have died.
