Chapter 11 The Secret Realm in Dreams (Part 2)
"Since the end of that annoying war, I haven't seen humans for thousands of years. I've come from afar and have been a guest. If I don't mind, how about coming and having a drink with me?"
After saying that, the girl turned her eyes and smiled slightly in the direction of Qin Xiang.
"This...Mr. Qin Xiang~"
Although it was strange why the girl in front of him knew his name, Qin Xiang still nodded slightly. However, when he approached the other party, he could not help but frown and asked a question.
"You are...Vitolia? So...what is this place?"
The girl was still fiddling with firewood, staring at the pottery in front of her, but she spoke casually.
"If you explain it in a more understanding way, this is in your dream. As for who I am, you already recognized him when we met last night, right? Why bother asking again?"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Qin Xiang was slightly stunned and came to his senses. He had indeed seen this girl yesterday, but he found that it was a strange dream. The current situation was indeed exactly the same as last night. So that is to say, he fell asleep while riding a carriage?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Xiang could only smile helplessly.
He dreamed of the same person twice in a row, and this person was not an acquaintance of his. Of course, Qin Xiang knew that there must be some reason in this, but now Vitoria didn't seem to mean that reason, so Qin Xiang didn't care and walked to the other side and sat down.
Seeing Qin Xiang sitting down, Vitoria gently shook the wooden stick in her hand. Suddenly, the lid on the clay pot was immediately lifted, and a very strange smell spread out.
The moment he smelled this smell, Qin Xiang was slightly stunned, because although the smell was a bit pungent and weird, if you carefully distinguish it, you could smell a familiar and fresh smell in it. This smell was very familiar, as if it was...
At that moment, Qin Xiang immediately looked at the pottery jar. In the small jar, there was a boiling black liquid as black as ink. As the liquid continued to boil, Qin Xiang clearly saw leaves the size of a little finger cover rolling up and down.
Although not very sure, if you guessed correctly, then this thing is...
"Uh, is this thing tea?"
Hearing Qin Xiang said this, a trace of inexplicable light flashed in the girl's eyes, and the tone in her mouth also became more interested.
"Oh, do you know the 'tea' thing? I thought that few people have drunk this now..."
Of course, perhaps few people in this other world know what "tea" is, but as a time traveler and a time traveler from China, if you can't even recognize this treasure left by your ancestors, then it will be a waste of life.
After hearing that Qin Xiang seemed to have met tea, the girl seemed to be in a much better mood. She didn't see any movement in her hand. Qin Xiang just felt a flash in front of her eyes. The girl instantly had two pottery tea cups in her hand, and each tea cup was filled with tea.
"Come on, try the taste~"
While speaking like this, Vitoria handed one of the tea cups to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang naturally hurried over, but after looking down at the tea in the cup, he couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Qin Xiang didn't seem to drink tea, Vitoria asked calmly, and there was a little more special brilliance in her eyes when she looked at Qin Xiang.
After carefully smelling the tea in the smelling cup, Qin Xiang reached out and grabbed his hair and said in confusion.
"Well, Miss Vittoria, this cup of tea shouldn't be filled with a pottery cup, right? Do you have a wooden tea cup?"
Hearing this question, Vitoria was slightly stunned and then chuckled.
"Haha, it seems that I did meet an expert in drinking tea today. So, I was very embarrassed just now..."
After saying that, the girl raised her hand and shook it, and immediately two wooden tea cups were added to her. After changing the tea in the cup into these two tea cups, she handed it to Qin Xiang again.
It's strange that the tea, which was originally as dark as ink, immediately began to change drastically after injecting two newly taken out wooden tea cups. The dark tea quickly settled into color. In less than half a minute, the tea in the cup became clear and transparent, and even emitted an inexplicable brilliance.
Qin Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea water entered his throat. First, he felt a faint bitterness, which was the biggest reason why ordinary people don’t like drinking tea. However, Qin Xiang didn’t care. He silently closed his eyes and tasted the smell quietly. After the bitterness completely bloomed on the tip of his tongue, his mouth immediately showed a natural freshness, a little clear and sweetness that could not be described in words, and was instantly active on every taste bud.
Before traveling through time, Qin Xiang was not very keen on carbonated drinks and coffee everywhere at that time. He liked to drink tea and had the honor of tasting a lot of good teas, but it seemed that he had never drunk any kind of tea. It was as good as this cup today.
Immediately, Qin Xiang opened his eyes immediately.
"It's really a great tea, thank you for your hospitality..."
In response to this, Vitoria shook her head gently, then savored the tea in the cup lightly, sighed silently, and spoke with satisfaction.
"I should say thank you for your thanks. No matter how good the tea is, I can't taste it alone. It's been a long time since no one can have a good cup of tea with me. From this point of view, I really should thank you~"
After saying this, both of them calmed down and silently drank the tea in the cup. Until the cup of tea was finished, Vittoria silently put down the tea cup in her hand and spoke calmly.
"So, let's talk about the main thing. I should have said yesterday, but at that time I was not able to control my dreams skillfully, but I accidentally created some memories from the past. Until now, I was able to change the dreams I wanted in the way I wanted, and I could sit down and chat with you..."
The words said lightly, Qin Xiang heard the storm. What does it mean? According to the Sword Girl, she could control Qin Xiang's dream freely? You must know that this is Qin Xiang's own dream. Even Qin Xiang herself dared not say that she could control her own dream, but this girl could do it. In this regard, it was really a terrifying power.
The girl didn't care about the change in Qin Xiang's expression on her face at all, but continued to speak on her own.
"Then I will just say it directly. The main purpose of coming to see you this time is to say 'thank you' to you..."
Of course, Qin Xiang was stunned after hearing this sentence. He pointed his hand at his face, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
“'Thank you'? Say to me? Why?”
Three consecutive questions proved Qin Xiang’s doubts, and Vitoria was also simply. She raised her hand to signal the long sheathed sword in Qin Xiang’s hand.
"Thank you for solving the troubles I left behind for me. I have protected most of my life. If the troubles I left after I died, I can't feel at ease. In fact, I should have thanked the little girl from the church, but now I can't contact her, so I can only take a step back and thank you. If you have the chance to meet the girl from the church in the future, thank her for me..."
“…”
So that's it. Qin Xiang can understand that Vitoria's identity in front of her is the well-deserved owner of the "strongest" name among humans. She seems to be the guardian saint of humans to fight against invasion of other races. She has been fighting for protecting humans almost all her life. However, after her death, she left behind evil things like the Evil Heart Sword Girl, which almost caused the creatures to suffer.
Just as Vitoria said just now, if this disaster was caused by her relationship, she would be uneasy to die. At this moment, Qin Xiang was able to solve this big problem for her. It is completely reasonable for her to thank Qin Xiang for this.
"I don't have the habit of thanking others for nothing. Since I want to thank you, I should give you some actual thank you gifts. I don't have anything else to do with, so... boy, pull out your knife now and put on an attacking posture..."
This order came too suddenly and too inexplicably. Qin Xiang could not come back to his senses for a moment, but after the girl frowned and spoke again, even though she was confused, Qin Xiang still did it.
With a light sound, the weapon with cold light flashed out of the sheath instantly. Qin Xiang, who was holding the hilt of the knife, silently made an attacking posture. Of course, he had never learned any sword technique, and this posture was also inappropriate.
Seeing Qin Xiang's movements, the girl's eyebrows frowned even more violently. The next second, Qin Xiang felt a flash of eyes. Before he could react to what had happened, a powerful force suddenly came from his hands. This force was transmitted along the blade to his hands, which directly shocked his hands numb. He could not hold the weapon in his hands at all for a moment. He subconsciously let go of his hands. Then, without waiting for him to make any extra moves, a rough short wooden stick was firmly pressed against his throat...
"I don't want to say anything else. If I were your enemy, then now... you are dead..."
Vitoria, who was standing in front of Qin Xiang at this moment, was completely different from the world when she had tea with him just now. The sharp aura emitted from the girl's whole body was completely suppressed by Qin Xiang. The light that burst out from his sharp eyes was like a magic weapon unsheathed, which made Qin Xiang instantly feel that as long as he dared to move around, the other party would immediately have a sword to bear his own delusion.
...So strong!
Of course, Qin Xiang could feel that the girl in front of him was absolutely not serious. Compared with the magical sword technique he had seen yesterday, today's move was simply a child's trick, but it seemed that just such a simple trick, Qin Xiang could not find a way to crack it...
No... Don't talk about cracking, you can't even figure out what the other party did just now, it's completely impossible to do it. Is this the afterglow of the "strongest" name owner among humans three thousand years ago? It's true... it's well-deserved...
A few seconds later, Vitoria withdrew the stick in her hand and sighed softly.
"The body is just right, but the skills are so sparse that it is impossible to describe it as a 'rookie'. It was wasting a good airs. What is your master doing? Did he only teach you how to exercise your body, and didn't teach you tricks or other things?"
“…”
Hearing this question, Qin Xiang could only smile bitterly. It was obvious that the other party completely misunderstood. Where did he get his master? He was just a wild path without any sects. As for Victoria, Qin Xiang had a good physical foundation. It was probably because Qin Xiang's physical fitness was replaced with a game character after he was upgraded. Of course... This has nothing to do with Qin Xiang himself, and it was entirely the credit of the system...
"I don't have a master, yes, at least not now."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the girl in front of her also cast a strange look at him, but she did not delve into this issue. Everyone had some secrets. Qin Xiang didn't want to say more, so of course she wouldn't ask more.
"Since that's the case, then I have a little bit of personal experience and some skills in using swords. I don't know... are you interested..."
"Yes, of course... I'm very interested!!!"
Before the other party finished speaking, Qin Xiang, who had probably heard a little smell, was immediately happy. Damn, such a great thing suddenly came, and he would let go of it because he had a headache about the direction of his skills before, because learning skills requires skill cards, and he really didn't want to waste the precious skill cards on basic vertical slashes, horizontal fireballs and other things.
Qin Xiang answered readily, and of course Vitoria was not vague, so she also raised the wooden stick in her hand with a smile.
"So, every night from now on, I will arrange training courses for you according to your specific situation, but make it clear in advance that my courses are very hard. If you are afraid of hardship, fatigue, death and blood, it is still too late to regret it now~"
Regret? If you refuse here, you will really regret it in the future. After confirming that Qin Xiang was not joking, the wooden stick in Vitoria's hand gently tapped Qin Xiang's eyebrows.
"So, goodbye tonight. Now there is a little trouble outside. You can solve it first. By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice. The red-haired boy you are with is not simple. It's best to be careful not to get involved with him, otherwise it will be very troublesome..."
After saying that, he tapped Qin Xiang's wooden stick on his forehead and pushed it gently. Qin Xiang felt that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed into black and white, and then he woke up with a shock.
"Well……"
The first scene I saw after waking up was the panicked expressions of the passengers in the carriage. Qin Xiang, who had just woken up, naturally didn't know what happened. In amazement, he heard a casual voice in his ears.
"You can sleep so well in such a mess. You really have a good skill, haha~"
The moment he heard this sound, Qin Xiang naturally subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. As a result, he happened to see the red-haired man sitting next to him showing a friendly smile in his direction. On the surface, Qin Xiang did not notice the "danger" and "trouble" atmosphere from the other party at all, but he still remembered Vitoria's warning clearly. At that moment, Qin Xiang put on an embarrassing expression and asked what was going on, and he also quietly activated the eyes of true vision in secret.
Lv68 level fighter, Neos Saimen (???)
“…”
Well, Qin Xiang can only sigh that his luck is really nonsense. He met Belanica, a candidate saint at level 65 before, but now he met a level 68 fighter. On the surface, he really couldn't confuse the red-haired man in front of him with the bold and rough fighter in various novels.
Neos seemed to have no idea that he had been seen through by Qin Xiang. When he heard Qin Xiang ask when it happened, he spread his hands calmly.
"It's nothing, we were attacked... Well, no, it shouldn't be said to have been attacked by 'people'. The pranks of a few naughty mountain monkeys were just a little bit more enthusiastic."
This sentence was so stupid that Qin Xiang was wondering, and another man in the car with glasses and a gentle face continued his words.
"We were attacked by the monster!"
A simple sentence explained the problem quite clearly. As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiang felt the whole carriage suddenly shocked, and then stopped driving. Immediately, Qin Xiang immediately poked out the window and checked the current situation.
At some point, the carriage had already driven out of the Whirlpool Forest and walked into a flat mountain road. Judging from its current location, the carriage should have driven into the depths of the mountain road. At this moment, at the front of the mountain road, there were about a dozen monkey-like creatures with white hair all over their bodies and about one meter five meters away blocking it.
They lined up in a row and blocked the middle of the mountain road, just blocking the way of the carriage. At the same time, the dozen white-haired monkeys were also excited to jump up and down when they saw the carriage, and they kept making birds chirping. They didn't know what they were excited about. However, from the panic expressions on the faces of the passengers around them, and the uncle who was so dark that he could twist out the ink, they could be sure that these monkeys... are not simple!
At this moment, Qin Xiang heard a word from the coachman yelling at the passengers in a car.
"Everyone, please sit down carefully, let's rush over!!!"
