Chapter 86: Empire Memory Retrospection Part 13
Tree?
A tree?
Norman frowned, but said nothing, and walked straight to the place the old female insect said.
If he remembered correctly, there were no green plants on this barren planet.
Even on the main planet of the Empire, there were very few green plants, and they could be counted on one hand.
Norman suppressed his doubts and walked towards the southwest.
During the journey, another strong wind hit.
The wind and sand blew past, stinging his face.
Norman's mind moved, and the uniform on his body began to expand slowly, wrapping Norman and forming a protective light shield.
The wind and sand outside could not get in.
Norman continued to lift his feet and move forward.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the wind and sand subsided, and Norman saw a green tree not far away.
It was very tall and dense. Norman had only seen such trees in holographic simulations.
Norman walked over slowly and looked up. Norman
was slightly stunned and said, "Hello, are you a witch doctor?"
Sitting on the tree trunk was a bug wrapped in black clothes. Norman could not see his face clearly, nor could he tell what material the clothes were made of.
The bug hesitated for a long time before answering Norman's question, "Yes, I am a witch doctor, are you Norman?"
The voice of the bug above was kind of pretend hoarse, and Norman couldn't help frowning when he heard it.
Why does it feel like this bug called a witch doctor is not very reliable...
"Yeah." Norman responded indifferently.
But the insect above suddenly chuckled, but soon, the insect seemed to react to something and started coughing in a hoarse voice.
"I know who you are looking for, Gu Qingze, right?"
Novin blinked his eyes, reacted to something, frowned and asked: "Did you send that message to my lieutenant?"
The witch doctor patted the non-existent dust on his body, opened his hands, flew down from the tree, and landed behind Novin.
Novin turned around and looked straight at the witch doctor.
"Yes, I sent it to you, but it seems... you came to ask me for help, you should respect me." He said.
Novin still couldn't see his face, under the huge hooded cloak, only darkness could be seen.
Novin looked at the witch doctor quietly for a while, as if he was looking at something.
Soon, he lowered his eyes again, and his voice became respectful: "If you have any news about him, I really hope you can tell me, I want to find him."
Noven could feel that after he finished speaking, a pair of eyes were looking at him.
The witch doctor spoke, his voice still hoarse: "Gu Qingze? He is not a bug from this world, he is a human, you are not from the same world."
When Noven heard this, he just breathed a little faster, but soon recovered.
He actually... had some guesses in his heart, because he had exhausted all means and had no news about him.
However, since the bug in front of him knew this, Noven felt that he still had a chance to find Gu Qingze.
"I know."
"You know?" The other side seemed a little surprised.
Novin did not intend to answer this question, and asked directly: "Can you help me find him?"
"Of course." The witch doctor seemed very confident.
Hearing this, Novin's heart trembled slightly, "What do I need to do?"
"Anything?" The witch doctor's tone was suspicious this time.
Novin only weighed it in his heart for a moment and made a decision.
"Anything."
The witch doctor sighed a few times, and after a long while, he said: "You are not from the same world. If you want to meet, you will have to pay a heavy price."
Hearing this, Novin suddenly smiled, his eyebrows curved.
The witch doctor was puzzled, "Why are you laughing? If you can't bear this price, you will lose your life and you will have nothing, let alone see him? Aren't you afraid that you will regret it? For someone you have never met?"
Hearing this, Norman suddenly looked into the void, his voice a little disappointed: "To be honest, I don't know."
"I don't know if you still--" "
But I know that he is the only insect who has shown kindness to me, or maybe it should be said that he is a person... He has saved me many times. If it weren't for the glimmer of light that appeared in front of me again and again, I would not be like this now. Maybe when I wanted to die, I would find
a cliff and jump off. Those tiny glimmers of light shone into my dark heart. Witch doctor, do you understand this feeling?"
The witch doctor was silent, and the two of them stood quietly.
Norman could feel that the eyes on him were gradually becoming more complicated.
The witch doctor seemed to have a story.
After a while, the witch doctor spoke, "I can help you, provided that you collect enough faith points."
"What is this for?" Norman heard this word for the first time. He knew about faith, but this seemed a little different from what he was familiar with.
"Something that can protect you in the cracks of time and space."
"Cracks of time and space?" Norman vaguely guessed what this thing was. It should be similar to a black hole or an alien void.
"Does that mean that if I go in, I can find Gu Qingze?"
The witch doctor's voice was hoarse, but one could tell he was serious. "It's not that simple. The tearing and pressure inside are hard for you to bear, but if you have a lot of faith points to protect you, it will be a little easier." Hearing
this, Novin nodded thoughtfully, "How do I collect faith points?"
"Have you decided?" The witch doctor suddenly turned around and faced Novin.
Novin could feel the insect in front of him looking at him, but he couldn't see the insect in front of him clearly.
"Well."
The witch doctor said slowly: "Just..."
"By the way, if you succeed in going to his world, the insect characteristics in you will disappear little by little. In the cracks of time and space, these will be slowly erased. This is the law of the world. The insect characteristics will completely disappear in the second year when he completely falls in love with you. By then, you will become the same as them - a person..."
Norman heard the word "love", but he didn't dislike it.
He could feel that his heartbeat was slowly speeding up when he heard this word.
"Okay, thank you, witch doctor."
"My name is not witch doctor." The witch doctor suddenly said this, but he didn't seem to be ready to reveal his real name to Norman. The look he gave Norman became more complicated.
"That's the case of success. If you fail, you will completely disappear in the cracks of time and space, and there will be no trace..."
But Novin said, "It's already a great fortune to be able to imagine success and have a 50% chance of seeing him."
Hearing this, the witch doctor sneered, "You are really a fool, a hopeless love-brain, stupid... It doesn't matter, I just hope you can collect enough faith points in the next period of time. You and I are predestined, and I will help you when necessary..."
Novin heard a long string of words cursing him. If he had said it before, he would definitely fight back on the spot, or secretly make things difficult for him.
But this time, Novin laughed when he heard this.
"Yeah."
The wind suddenly blew over again, messing up the long blue hair, which fluttered wantonly, dancing with the black robe worn by the witch doctor next to him...
Norman didn't think he was stupid, but he accepted this kindness.
