Yang Jia took it, and the touch confirmed it was made of the same material as her own parchment scroll. She carefully unfolded it, and saw the same words written on it: "A new fire begins to burn."
Yang Jia took out his own parchment scroll and put it together with this one.
The font and formatting looked identical, but nothing happened when they were placed side by side, and there was no connection between the two sentences. However, the more Yang Jia looked at them, the more he felt that they were likely lines from a poem or ballad, simply missing other elements.
"You can ask other people if they have any parchment scrolls." Li Bai said.
Since Fang Pingyuan and the others have it, other people might have it too. If we can collect them all, we might be able to get some hints and information from them, and maybe even unlock new tasks or functions.
Yang Jia nodded. He thought it would be better to wait for the other party to come to him than to ask him directly. If they wanted to know the secret of the connected cities, they would come to negotiate sooner or later. But he could ask Bai Shu first. It just so happened that the ally of an ally was also an ally, so he could introduce Bai Shu to Fang Pingyuan and the others.
Soon after, another person appeared in the room.
Bai Shu looked at the three parchment scrolls placed side by side on the table. "One day, the entire world will fall into slumber; a new fire will begin to burn; until heroes will expand their territory and conquer the world... It sounds like some kind of prophecy or record. But these three sentences should not be related, right?"
"That's what it seems like at the moment," Yang Jia said.
Fortunately, they hadn't planned on getting any clues right away. Any clues would be great, but if they didn't, it wouldn't be a big loss. So Yang Jia wasn't disappointed. She introduced Fang Pingyuan to Bai Shu, "It would actually be much more effective if you two could work together."
Between their two families were the Ma family's Calla Lily Guild and the Xuan family's Forget Me Not Guild. If they could unite, they would naturally be able to contain these two guilds and prevent them from making any rash moves. So when Yang Jia mentioned this, both of them were moved.
However, the matter of cooperation could not be explained in a few words, and it was impossible to discuss it with Yang Jia, so after a few words of greeting, they left together.
As he was seeing them off, Yang Jiaxin suddenly moved. He said, "I've come up with a name with a good meaning. Spark Guild—a single spark can start a prairie fire. What do you think?"
I hope that this insignificant spark will one day ignite all the indigenous people living in this world, awaken them, and make them fight for their own survival and homes, so that no one can stop them.
Fang Pingyuan turned to look at his companions, and seeing them nodding, he said, "It's indeed a good name. Let's call the Spark Guild that. We're weak now, but it won't be like this forever."
Seeing his ambitious look, Yang Jia smiled and said, "I look forward to that day."
For Yang Jia, today's gains were truly significant. The purpose of calling this gathering had essentially been achieved, making the upcoming duel much easier. Yang Jia couldn't help but feel happy. After sending the others off, she breathed a sigh of relief, clasping her hands together and saying, "Thank God, my worries are finally resolved."
"It will get better and better." said Li Bai next to him.
The two of them stood in the small square where the sculptures had once stood. Their surroundings were open, the sky looming large, the stars and moon shining brightly. The autumn evening breeze was a bit chilly, but not yet harsh, bringing a pleasant feeling.
Yang Jia smiled slightly, but when she looked up at the sky, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still a little scared of the night sky."
In that isolated space, she and Li Bai had originally planned to admire the stars and moonlight, enjoying the last bit of leisurely life. After all, they would return to the game world after completing their next mission. Unexpectedly, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky, completely destroying their romantic thoughts.
So much so that even at this moment when the wind was clear and the moon was bright, which was a perfect time for talking about love, Yang Jia couldn't even think of any romantic thoughts.
I always feel that a meteorite shower may fall from the sky at any time.
Li Bai wasn't worried about this, but after hearing Yang Jia's words, she also thought of a question, "Now that I think about it, the meteor shower that night was a bit strange."
"What's weird?" Yang Jia asked.
Li Bai said, "Not to mention that meteorites come from the starry sky and already have an initial velocity, the speed brought by gravity alone, falling from such a high altitude, the final speed will only be a terrifying number. Moreover, at such a high speed, the heat generated by friction alone will definitely not be low."
Yang Jia was slightly startled. That night had been so chaotic, and she'd been so busy since then that she'd barely thought about it. But after Li Bai reminded her, it seemed to be true.
Meteors fell from the sky at terrifying speeds and temperatures, and the resulting impact from the pressure was incredibly powerful. It was estimated that just one meteorite could obliterate an entire town in an instant, leaving the people on the ground with no chance of escape.
However, although the meteorite that fell at that time made a loud noise, the impact range was very small. As for the temperature, it was almost impossible to feel it without touching it with your hands.
Because of this, the two were able to escape from the town. Although they were eventually hit by the meteor shower, the delay was more than a moment. Although this is a game, some unscientific aspects are normal, but because it is a game, everything controlled by the system can be unscientific, but it cannot be illogical.
There must be a logical reason why a meteorite loses its power when it lands on the ground.
A vague thought flashed through Yang Jia's mind, but she failed to catch it in time. When she thought about it again, it became even more vague and she couldn't grasp it at all.
"Let's go back." Li Bai said, "It's a bit cold standing outside for so long."
Yang Jia nodded nonchalantly and followed her forward, her mind still turning over the thought. She instinctively realized that it must be a very important inspiration. If she could grasp it, many problems that troubled her would be solved.
Therefore, she didn't even pay attention to the road. It was not until she bumped into Li Bai's back that Yang Jia came to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Bai stood at the door of the room, turned around and asked her, "Do you want to come in?"
Only then did Yang Jia realize that he had followed Li Bai to the door of the other person's room.
Her face flushed, perhaps because there were too many happy things today, or perhaps because the atmosphere was so good at the moment. Yang Jia didn't deny it immediately, but asked, "Do you want to invite me in?"
Li Bai opened the door, turned slightly sideways, and actually made a gesture of invitation.
Yang Jia stepped into the room and was about to reach out to turn on the light, but after hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his hand.
She couldn't explain why she did this, but she subconsciously felt that it would be better not to turn on the lights.
In fact, after returning from that independent space, the relationship between Yang Jia and Li Bai fell into a very delicate state. Although they had clearly expressed their feelings and were honest with each other, their time together did not bring them closer, but instead they became more distant.
Perhaps they were not used to this change in relationship, so although they still had a tacit understanding, neither of them deliberately showed closeness, and even subconsciously kept a distance.
In addition, they were indeed very busy during this period and had no time to take care of these things, so the two of them got along like ordinary friends.
Yang Jia didn't know what Li Bai was thinking, but it wasn't that she didn't want to get close to Li Bai. She just didn't want to appear too eager, but she also didn't want to make the other person feel slighted. For a moment, she felt at a loss as to what to do.
However, when it comes to feelings, although Yang Jia doesn't think that the relationship between him and Li Bai will cool down after a while, there is no benefit in continuing like this, and some changes are needed.
And now might be a good opportunity.
In the darkness, unable to see each other, it might be easier to put aside worries.
Obviously, Li Bai had the same idea as her. So before Yang Jia could finish her hesitation, Li Bai grabbed her other hand that was hanging by her side.
The door made a slight "click" sound when it closed, and then the room became completely quiet. Only the breathing of the two people could be heard and the warmth of Li Bai's palm could be felt.
It seemed that Li Bai had exerted a little force—Yang Jia wasn't entirely sure of her judgment, and she even said she wasn't quite sure how it happened. Anyway, when she came to her senses, she was leaning against Li Bai. Li Bai's arms crossed her waist and clasped behind her back.
In this way, Yang Jia was held in her arms.
No one spoke.
It was unclear who started it first, but the two of them tacitly searched for each other's lips in the darkness, and then kissed each other. The only sounds in the room were the rustling of clothes, panting, and the gentle sound of water from their kiss... until they were a little breathless and they separated.
Li Bai rubbed Yang Jia's cheek affectionately with the tip of his nose.
It was unknown what had struck Yang Jia's funny bone, but she suddenly burst into laughter, unable to stop. It started as a silent laugh, then it became a sound, and by the end she leaned against Li Bai, laughing so hard she barely had the strength to stand.
"What's wrong?" Li Bai put his palm on Yang Jia's red cheek and asked softly.
Yang Jia couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt inexplicably happy, so happy that she couldn't help but laugh.
She rested her head on Li Bai's shoulder and shook her head vigorously, "Li Bai, I like you so much..."
