Chapter 63 Chapter 56.5 Special

The so-called special words are not ifs, nor are they extras, but the real main line.

However, since this has not happened yet, the last one released was the one drawn by Ni Lan herself.

Forget about traveling through time. I thought I wouldn't have to worry too much about the comics themselves, but in the end I still have to draw them.

He also had to paint in secret.

And now, probably because the basic laying of the groundwork is in place, he has finally unlocked the timeline of 'Special Words'.

No more drawing by hand! Yay!

——

Also in the darkness, Ni Lan quietly listened to the two people talking about the past.

But the scene was a little different from last time. The three of them were now in a bustling city. The streets outside were crowded with people, but fortunately the coffee shop was relatively quiet.

"The Shennanhai Reefs are Iss's home. It's a beautiful place!"

"Shennan...? Ahem!!!"

Ni Lan was still holding a cup of coffee. He took a sip without noticing anything, and was immediately knocked down by the bitter taste that hit his head.

Puis had anticipated this, and if Ni Lan hadn't said he wanted to try it he wouldn't have ordered a cup of espresso for him.

Puisi, who had grown into a reliable young man, began to add sugar and milk to Ni Lan's drink, which made the texture and taste much softer and more delicious.

"If you're interested, that's our next stop."

Ni Lan was a little hesitant when she took the cup again, but out of trust in the two people, she still took a sip carefully.

This time it really tasted much better. It might be a bit sweet for others, but it was just right for him.

Seeing Ni Lan drinking it sip by sip, Puyis finally felt relieved. If she really couldn't accept it, she could just order a glass of pure milk.

"Go ahead! We can also go visit Xu Kuiaya! We haven't seen her for many years, and we don't know how she is doing."

The blond young man was a little excited again. Although he knew that everything was still based on Ni Lan's wishes, this did not affect Bomo's desire.

Ni Lan nodded, "I can do that."

"It's settled then. I'll make the arrangements."

Bo Mo smiled contentedly, pushed the biscuit in the middle of the table towards Ni Lan, and then grabbed Ni Lan's wrist to touch the plate.

"Try this. Lan, you like desserts so much, this must be delicious too!"

Ni Lan fumbled to pick up the biscuit, and it was just as Bo Mo said, very sweet and delicious.

If Puyis hadn't been worried that eating too many desserts would be bad for Ni Lan's health, Pomo would have wanted to feed Ni Lan his favorite food three times a day.

"Let me tell you another little secret. Esco is the head of the Pu family."

"The head of the Pu family?"

"It's the Pu family from the Five Great Families, and your..." Noticing his friend's disapproving look, Pomo realized that he almost mentioned something bad. He immediately stopped the subject and changed the subject, "Isco is amazing, and he's the lord of Shennan!"

Puis has long been accustomed to his friend's "bad habit" of bragging about everything. At first, he might have felt embarrassed and speechless for a moment, but now he just ignores it.

"Not worth mentioning, Alan..."

Before Puis could say anything, he saw Ni Lan's face change. He put down the half-eaten biscuit, picked it up again, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

Bo Mo naturally noticed it as well, and his expression was even uglier than Ni Lan's. He looked at the terminal and it turned out to be less than ten minutes away.

Ni Lan also knew that his actions were too obvious and that he was always bad at concealing his emotions.

"Feel sorry......"

Pomo held up the terminal to show Puisi, and his friend nodded quietly to show that he understood.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. You've made some progress today, so don't worry."

Ni Lan's expression eased a little, and she seemed unaware of the two people's secrets.

"Thank you."

He is very clear about his final destination, so what extravagant hopes does he have?

Ni Lan decided to change the subject—although he did so unconsciously.

"Who is Xu Kuiya?"

"He is a good friend of mine and Esther who I met ten years ago. He is a doctor."

With Puisi's sponsorship, Xu Kuieya had no time to travel around Shenzhen, providing free medical treatment to civilians who needed help but did not have enough money for treatment.

Ten years ago?

Ni Lan had only heard them talk about the demise of Lanster ten years ago.

It was also because of that incident that Saint Snow moved his capital further east and established a new capital.

"How did you meet?"

Ni Lan's question made the two of them feel troubled, but since they had already told them what had happened in Lanster, it seemed that this matter could be discussed as well.

The two looked at each other, and it was Pomo who spoke first.

"After the Lanster incident broke out, Es's father asked him to go home immediately. At that time, his expression was very ugly. I was worried, so I insisted on following him..."

——

With such a big incident happening in the imperial capital of Saint Snow, Putunsan immediately asked Zikaria to call Puis back.

His two illegitimate sons are no good just like their mother. Even though he seems to be doting on them in public, he actually doesn't dare to hand over everything in the Pu family to them.

I am afraid that within ten years, the Pu family’s wealth and reputation will be completely destroyed by them.

Because of his mother, Puys had a grudge against him. He didn't listen to his arrangements and education at all and ran away for so long. But Putonsang had no excuse to call the child back. To put it bluntly, Lanster's experience gave him a reason.

Putonsang hates things that are out of his control, so this time he will trap Puyis in Shennan temporarily no matter what, train him well, and make him a qualified head of the family.

In his imagination, as one of the few survivors, Puyis might have some symptoms of "survivor's guilt", and Putonsang could take advantage of the situation to "repair" the relationship between father and son, and even take this opportunity to keep Puyis under control.

It turned out that Puys brought back a "friend".

Puis knew what his father was thinking. Although he was still young, he was not a fool.

As father and son are connected by blood, he knows his father's actions very well.

He first hid Pomo, and only left with Pomo when he went to Shouyu Island to investigate the disappearance of the Illuminati members under his father's instructions.

Zikarea, the only one who knew about it, was completely devoted to the young master and dared to hide the existence of Bomo from Putonsang. By the time the famous head of the family found out about it in the future, it was already too late.

"At that time, Xu Kuiaya was still a member of the Church of Light. She was about the same age as us. She, her brother, and her adoptive father were forced to go to Shouyu Island to preach because of exclusion from the higher authorities."

More than ten years have passed, and Pomer still remembers their names - he never forgets anyone.

"Father Asclepius, and her brother Podali."

The investigation went smoothly. Although the islanders obviously disliked them after they were "involved" with the Church of Illuminati, there were still kind and friendly people like Captain Maca and Uncle Chelle.

Xu Kuiaya kept apologizing. If the Church of Light had not been gone, she would not even dare to come to the town. She would hide in Uncle Chel's tavern and dare not move around freely.

Pomo and Puis had no intention of taking her with them to investigate, since her abilities could not protect herself. They only promised her that they would find Ascle and Podali.

But.....they went too late in the end.

In a space where superpowers are suppressed, Puyis was trapped in a maze. He never trusted his intuition, and it was not until all other roads were blocked that Puyis realized that he should turn back.

Pomo did find Podali, who was dying at the moment, and Pomo was caught in a dilemma between saving him and chasing Hector.

At Podali's insistence, Pomo went after Hector, but who knew it was a wrong decision until the last moment?

Podali died, and Hector didn't catch up.

When Pomo returned, he saw Podali for the last time. Before his death, Podali handed him a badge and asked him to give it to Father Asclepius.

The two finally met Asclepius, and with the awakening of the badge, Asclepius regained consciousness from the golden cicada statue.

"We found them, but we couldn't bring them back..."

But this is not the end, they must stop the Lightless and Paris from offering sacrifice to Shouyu Island.

After Ascle woke up, he began to guide the two to prevent the sacrificial array from being activated. At this time, Puis had to call home for help.

The two of them held out for two days and one night, and finally received support from the Pu family. Both Pomo and Pu Yis omitted the hardships involved and only mentioned them briefly to Ni Lan.

But Ni Lan could still hear it.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After the incident, the two were not thanked by anyone on Shouyu Island until Paris fled the island with the treasures of the temple.

Xu Kuiaia lost his most important brother and only had time to see Asclepius for the last time.

But this was not the most devastating thing for Xu Kuieya.

After many years, Xu Kuia finally uncovered the secret of her supernatural powers. She clearly had the ability to resurrect, but she failed to save anyone.

Fortunately, [something] happened later. Even though the knot in my heart was not resolved, with the help of the two of them, I finally mustered up the courage to face the future life.

"Something?"

Ni Lan always grasps the key points so accurately.

"......"

Pomer paused, obviously not knowing whether he should say it or not. He looked at Puis, wanting the person's friend to make the decision.

Puis pursed his lips and naturally didn't want to say it, but they agreed to Ni Lan.

"Let's talk about this when we get to Shennan."

Since you don't want to say it now, but you have to say it, then say it later.

Ni Lan nodded, not in a hurry.

The meal was over and Puis had arranged his itinerary.

"Let's go to Shennan."

"Shall we take the boat?"

"Alan will get dizzy. It's more stable to take the airship."

"It's my first time on a boat! I think the sea and sky must be beautiful too! Let's go!"

Ni Lan began to look forward to it a little.
