In the morning, in the quiet and peaceful park, the short-haired girl was walking around the bench with troubled steps.
" I say," Sun Si, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but let out a breath." Do you really have to do this?" You've been wandering around for half a day, and you're still not done?"
" Yes, Sister Li." Wang Xiao opened the electric thermos bottle and took a sip of water to warm himself up." Sai Er has gone to Celan. He won't be back for a while."”
"It's been more than ten days?" Li Yiyi, who wasn't afraid of the cold, stopped and looked at the four slackers on the bench." Aren't you coming back? I missed you so much!"
" I didn't know." Even though he was wearing thick clothes, Chen Yinglong was still a little cold. He looked at his cousin and envied her sturdy physique." I thought you were going to commit a crime."”
" You can't joke about this." Li Yiyi shook her head and sat down beside her cousin." It's impossible for him to commit a crime. It's impossible in this lifetime." People of China would not think of committing crimes.”
Chen Yinglong rubbed his hands together. He was just joking. Under the supervision of the Weave, only reckless people would commit crimes. His cousin was a little fierce, but she was not reckless.
" I'm sure he'll be back soon. I miss Little Sai too." Liu Meng imitated Sun Si and started to smoke." It's the New Year's Eve in three days. He can't stay in Morning Star all the time."”
" I can't contact him once I've run out of the Republic." Li Yiyi imitated Sun Si and blew a puff of smoke into the air. She held her head and leaned back." When will the Magic Net be able to solve this problem?"”
" I think we should wait for the real-time voice function to be released first," Chen Yinglong speculated in a low voice as he recalled the announcement from the communications department." I feel that the communications department is a little extreme. They won't stop until they have real-time images."”
"Oh? Real-time images?" Li Yiyi keenly caught the key words." I saw on the news that the steel claw could do it, right?”
" Then…they must have used projection magic and communication magic," Chen Yinglong answered after a moment of thought." Anyway, they definitely didn't rely on the magic net to communicate.”
"Could it be that the communications department built so many black rooms just for real-time voice conversations?”Thinking of the construction site with the logo of the Ministry of Communication, Wang Xiao made a bold guess.
"Black house?" Sun Si also thought of those strange buildings." I remember there was an electric tower-like thing up there? I wonder what it is."
"Have you seen it before?" Chen Yinglong was shocked." There's a fixed one?”
" A few streets behind the neighborhood." Sun Si looked at Li Yiyi." She's seen it a few times, but I don't think she has any impression of it."”
Without refuting, Li Yiyi readily admitted that she really could not remember those messy buildings. It was round and square, and there were some iron tower-like forks on the top.
" Hmm…I, probably…" Chen Yinglong closed his eyes and pondered." I don't understand."”
" You..." Li Yiyi rolled her eyes." Then why are you pretending? I thought you knew."”
" How could I know so much?" Chen Yinglong tried to control his tone." Those things will only be taught in the academy in at least three years. Please understand."”
" I'm sorry." Li Yiyi looked disgusted." Sister can't understand."”
"…" Chen Yinglong shut his mouth. He knew that communicating with this idiot was a waste of time.
Wang Xiao, who didn't care about their bickering, was thinking about something else.
" Chen Xing…" Wang Xiao rubbed his chin." I haven't been outside yet. I wonder what it's like there…"
"It should be similar to the village where elves gather?”Liu Meng guessed.
At this moment, Wang Xiao suddenly realized a very serious problem: "Has anyone been to the forest?"
"You haven't been to the village?" Wang Xiao looked at the other four.
Without waiting for him to look over, Li Yiyi turned her face away and whistled. The others didn't avoid his gaze, but Wang Xiao couldn't look straight at their embarrassed faces.
" Alright, I'm impressed." Wang Xiao had no choice but to wipe his nose to ease the awkward atmosphere." They're really all squatting in the city."”
"Uh…I have an idea! "Let's tell Mom and Dad," Li Yiyi suddenly raised her hand. She had a bold idea."Find a time to go to Sal's house."
" That's possible." Chen Yinglong was surprised to hear his cousin's suggestion." It's rare for you to come up with a serious idea."”
Unknowingly, the number of pedestrians walking in the park gradually increased. With so many people, the children could not argue freely. It was not good to chat loudly in a crowded place.
In the end, the five children decided to go to the central square for a walk. At that time, they could play video games, read books, pick toys, or eat as they pleased.
The children, who believed that action was better than talk, ran away from the park as fast as they could and rushed in the direction of the square.
……
" Geography... tourism, heh, sure enough." Chen Yinglong looked up and scanned the bookshelf. He quickly found the book he wanted." Pingzhou Travels, a photography collection?”
" Where? Look." Li Yiyi was the first to come over." It's not Botha!" It's also not a border! Behind, behind!"
" What are you talking about? Lower your voice. I'm still looking." Chen Yinglong flipped through the book impatiently." It's here!"”
"The picture in the textbook was chosen from here?”Seeing the familiar picture of Chen Xing, Sun Si sighed." It's spectacular.”
" This is much clearer." Li Yiyi shook her head." It looks really big. I wonder how these trees live."”
Under their instructions, Chen Yinglong flipped through the book to enjoy more photos of the Morning Star landscape and various close-ups of the giant tree.
In the end, a colorful photo that was hung in the Council of Elders 'meeting hall entered the three's field of vision.
"Wow…isn't this the great ancestor?”Li Yiyi sighed when she saw the amiable old man shaking hands with an elf in the middle of the photo.
"Eh? Shouldn't he be called Ancestral Saint?" Sun Si kindly reminded Li Yiyi," Uh…Brother Chen, why are you looking at me…My grandfather and the others all call me that. Isn't that right?”
" He doesn't like to be called that." Chen Yinglong sighed helplessly." He refuses all forms of worship. He said it himself, remember?"”
"Alright, I'll correct it." Sun Si admitted defeat decisively.
"There is no greater good than knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them." Li Yiyi put on a gratified tone and patted his shoulder heavily.
"Speaking of which, are they all on this?" Ignoring the numbness on his shoulder, Sun Si pointed at a line of labels at the bottom of the photo and muttered," Left to right…Zu Zhongliang, Lin Sixing, Zhao Wuqiu…Damn, this is Zhao Wuqiu?!”
" Yeah." Li Yiyi poked her head out and was surprised to see the second person on Zu Zhongliang's right." I didn't expect him to be so young."”
Chen Ying endured the discomfort and pressed his eyes hard."Please take a look at the notes. When was this photo taken?”
The two careless ghosts followed his gesture and finally saw the row of numbers at the bottom of the note-" 2321, 1, 1."
Chen Yinglong didn't listen to their awkward laughter. He turned his attention to the person on Zu Zhongliang's leftmost side, a middle-aged man named Lin Sixing.
Chen Yinglong had a feeling that he had heard of him on the news before…It seemed like this person was in research? Some time ago, there seemed to be reports that he went to Gwelland…for academic research? Magic?
A shout from behind interrupted Chen Yinglong's thoughts.""What are you guys doing?"
Liu Meng had just walked over from the back row when he found the three of them gathered together."What are you looking at? You're laughing so happily."
" It's nothing." Chen Yinglong closed the book and put it back on the shelf. He tried his best to squeeze out of the encirclement of the two idiots." You're here to look for books?”
"Yeah, is there anything about ancient cities?”Ignoring Li Yiyi and Sun Si's silly laughter, Liu Meng revealed his purpose." Little Wang wants to see what those ancient cities look like.”
"Oh? Could it be that he wants to go?" Li Yiyi took the opportunity to put away her awkward smile." Could it be that you've traveled all over the country and no longer have anywhere to travel? Are you planning to travel around the world?”
" Stop." Liu Meng warned her to stop." Help me find a book first. Later, you can talk to Xiao Wang, okay?"”
"I think changing the word 'successful' to 'good' will match her tone better.”Sun Si seriously suggested.
"Alright." Chen Yinglong nodded and gave a rare thumbs up.
" Alright, don't annoy me." Li Yiyi ended the boring topic and buried her head in her book." What's about the ancient city?”
"I don't know. Let's look for it."
"We can connect to the Weave.”
Chen Yinglong couldn't help but sigh when he saw the few idiots searching for books on the bookshelves. He connected to the magic net of the Book Building and began to search for specific book information.
……
The four of them each had one or two books and quietly walked back to the reading area.
" I might as well take my time to read it myself," Sun Si complained about the disabled function of the building's magic net." Keyword search is really unreliable…"
" Be content. I've already narrowed the search range down enough." Looking at the book in his hand, Chen Yinglong was quite satisfied with the function of the Book Building's Mana Net." Otherwise, when would I have found it?”
Sun Si shrugged, indicating that Chen Yinglong was right." Although the feeling of only being able to roughly search was uncomfortable, it was still useful.
The tables and chairs in the reading area were neatly arranged, and many readers were sitting there. They were quietly flipping through books.
Wang Xiao, who was drinking water at the wooden table in the corner, noticed his companions entering the reading room at a glance. He stood up and waved to them.
Li Yiyi nodded in satisfaction." Although Little Wang doesn't have much of a presence, he has a unique eye for things. He's much more reliable than Sun Er."
For example, Wang Xiao had chosen a seat with the fewest people. Later, when the few of them were talking, as long as they kept their voices down, it would not be easy to attract the attention of other readers.
"Me? Is there a need…to have so many?" Looking at the seven books in front of him, Wang Xiao's mouth began to twitch.
" Better to be an idiot than to be lacking." Chen Yinglong picked up the book at the top and began to flip through it." Look, this book talks about all eight cities.”
"Then why did you take the others?" Wang Xiao was quite puzzled.
" The content is quite different." Liu Meng also took a book." Why don't you read them all? We have plenty of time today anyway."”
" Yes, Chang 'an in Summer State," Chen Yinglong read the list." Morning Star in Pingzhou, Zhenbei in Dizhou, Kangman in Shangzhou, Yprezen in Middle-continent, Maple in Outer Continent, Floret in Shangzhou, and Savejia in Rongzhou.”
" The first three are quite normal, but what's with the rest?" Li Yiyi felt a headache coming on." Is Zhenwu's name so random?"”
" I know the capital of Gwelland." Liu Meng thought of something." The City of Conquest? Command City?"
"Huh?" The others looked at Liu Meng in unison.
" Why are you so loud?" Liu Xi was shocked and quickly reminded his friends who had lost their voices." Which book said that the first Gwelland King and Queen were nobles who suffered injustice?"”
" They went to Chang 'an to meet the emperor and complain about the old king's brutality. The emperor executed the old king far away in the Upper Continent as they wished.”
"It's done. Zhen Wu asked them to go back and take down the entire Upper Continent. As long as they take it down, they will be the eternal kings of the Upper Continent.”
"Are you trying to scam me?" Li Yiyi used her thumb to scratch her cheek, expressing her confusion." Is there any difference between this and sending them to their deaths?”
" No," Liu Meng shook his head and retorted." At that time, the Upper Continent and the Central Continent were still believers, and the church was very powerful. Previously, the empire had reached an agreement with them that they would not directly interfere with Central Continent.”
"So, you found a reason to interfere indirectly?”Sun Si shook his head." It's really possible."”
" Why do I feel like Zhenwu is just playing…" Wang Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, had a different opinion." With his ability, is there a need for that…"
At this moment, someone interrupted the conversation with a cough. Everyone turned to look at the speaker, the stern-faced Chen Yinglong.
"I suggest that we don't talk about these things that are beyond our knowledge.”Chen Yinglong closed his book and wanted to end the topic of metaphysics.
"Don't put on a face for others to see. If you have something to say, say it.”Everyone's gaze turned to Li Yiyi, who did not fall for her cousin's trick at all.
" I…" Chen Yinglong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he still restrained himself." It's useless to talk about such things. Even scholars and doctors can't see the era of the Imperium clearly. It's useless to talk about it here. It's really useless."”
" I agree with Brother Chen," Wang Xiao quickly said." We just want to find a fun place to travel…"
"Hmm, then, Kang Man?" Li Yiyi, who looked as if nothing had happened, praised the pictures in the book." Their architecture is really strange. It feels very interesting.”
" Really? Let me see." Wang Xiao took the book from Li Yiyi and looked at it." It's sharp and square, and the patterns are beautiful. It's not bad."”
"I think Chen Xing is not bad.”
"You can go there if you want. Why don't you go to the north of Zhenbei? Aren't you curious about the demons?”
"That kind of place has a hammer to look at. It's better to go to Maple. It's said that the red leaves can spread all over the country.”
"Yes! " Children," a reader sitting far away reminded the five children unhappily." Can you be a little quieter?”
The children who were still arguing instantly fell silent and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The reading room was quiet again. Except for the rustling of pages, there was no noise.
Chen Yinglong glared at his cousin angrily.
Li Yiyi was obedient now. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Sun Si could clearly see the eye contact between the two of them. However, he only smiled and did not say anything.
Most of the other readers in the reading room sighed. It was indeed not easy for these children to come here to study before the New Year. It was just a little too noisy?
However, he was a child. It was understandable.
As the pages of the book flipped, time quietly passed. The New Year was also getting closer and closer to the five children who were studying seriously.
