Chapter 195 194 Longquan


Chapter 195 194. Longquan

When Lan En entered the fissure where the celestial sphere met due to the smile of the lady in the lake, it was already approaching the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.

But take one step and the world changes. The young man looked up and discerned the sunlight among the lush leaves, but it was about seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

The time between worlds changes constantly. This subject seems too far away even for the sorcerers in Aretusari who refine the concepts of space and time.

The biggest achievement of those guys in the fields of time and space so far is the lady's handbag in Margarita's hand.

Maybe you can understand this issue only if you have Gunter Odim's ability to truly freeze time.

The place where Lan En is located is an empty mountain forest, where the main plant is bamboo.

A few steps to the side, you can see the forest steps paved with bluestone slabs. This shows that there are intelligent creatures in this world, which is the case where the lady in the lake needs him to 'work'.

Lan En didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. He picked up his belongings and watched with his own eyes the scene like broken glass disappearing in the celestial sphere's intersection, before he walked towards the stone path.

Unlike the situation without intelligent creatures, he only needs to survive in the wilderness within a limited area, and the beasts will not run around.

But the actions of intelligent creatures are unpredictable. Rather than passive contact, it is better to proactively explore.

It is said that mountains in different countries have different temperaments, and Lan En feels that he has a say in this.

Not only has he traveled across countries, he is now traveling around the world.

Based on Lan En's experience, he generally feels that Temeria, or the mountains and forests of Arya's hometown, have a gloomy or grand religious temperament.

Looking from a distance, the towering mountains and the shadow of the clouds in the sky make people feel like they are facing a natural chapel.

As for the mountains in my hometown and world, there will be a feeling of emptiness and loneliness, high and far away, and the depths of the clouds are unknown.

Lan En slowly walked down the stone road. Most of the woods on the left and right were made of bamboo.

The mountains here give Lan En a feeling similar to his hometown, but different.

It is also deep, but most of the mountains in my hometown give people a peaceful and distant feeling. But here it is strange and desolate.

In the shadowy gaps between the bamboo forests, the shadows seem particularly gloomy.

Lan En walked down for about ten minutes, stopped, and raised his head slightly.

"Wow, this is really true"

A slightly stunned expression appeared on his face. The man-made object in front of Lan En was made of wood. It looked like a solid wooden door frame. On the bluestone path.

In the widely spread Japanese culture, this doorframe-like building is called a ‘torii’. It is a religious building in Shintoism that separates the residence of gods from the human world.

In other words, this is Japan?

"It really matches the temperament of this kind of mountain and forest."

As we all know, the traditional Japanese aesthetics - sad and desolate things.

Lan En took a closer look at this small torii and found that this small wooden building looked a bit old, but it was only about ten years old.

"A newly built shrine in more than ten years?"

Lan En patted the dust on his hands and continued walking down.

After visiting the magical world and Aria's world, Lan En even felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly returned to the East Asian cultural circle.

"Mentos, can you handle Japanese?"

"Relevant memories are being retrieved. Vocabulary exceeds the minimum standard, and the skill building in building skills is completed - [Japanese], proficiency -60%. ”

With Mentos, Lan En has a photographic memory, and all the words and phrases that he had skipped in animations and movies emerged at this time.

60% proficiency. Although you may not be familiar with those verbose honorific variations in Japanese, normal communication should be no problem.

Covering his forehead slightly, Lan En rubbed his temples with his fingers.

The gene seed seems to have not only brought about a slow increase in physical fitness, but Lan En's brain endurance has also been improved through [Memory Dive] again and again.

The improvement of Space Marines is comprehensive.

So after just a few minutes, Lan En's expression calmed down again.

During this period, the young man's steps did not stop. He followed the road to the bottom of the mountain.

The surging sound of the river is no longer absorbed by the dense vegetation here, and can be clearly transmitted to the ears of the witcher. It was a river thirty to forty meters wide, and a water draw station built with stones was set up along the riverside.

A thick white rope hangs around the stone at this water draw. Although Lan En doesn't understand much, he thinks it should be some kind of religious tool.

A stone tablet stands next to the water drawing place, with the words 'Longquan.' written in Chinese characters on it.

The words below are difficult to see clearly due to the erosion of the river. But Lan En still made a guess based on the common characteristics of the East Asian cultural circle.

"'Longquan'? Then this is Longquan River? No, in Japanese terms. Longquan River? It is a common custom to pay homage to the river."

"But... the smell always feels a bit strange."< br>
There seemed to be a very slight strange smell in the river water, which made the witcher unconsciously pay attention to it.

Lan En stroked the stone tablet engraved with Chinese characters with one hand and murmured in a low voice.

The next moment, his free arm suddenly lifted up to protect the side of his neck!

There was a "ding" sound as steel clashed, and outside the thick arm armor, an arrow had already split into two pieces under the impact and bounced out.

At the same time, a loud shout of death in Japanese came from the forest not far from where the water was drawn.

"Kill! Kill! He is alone!"

"Have courage! Have courage!"

The roar seemed extremely vicious and noisy.

But Lan En frowned slightly and didn't seem panicked at all.

"Not scolding, but encouraging? And with such messy steps, are you a farmer?"

Bandits or soldiers often use scolding to despise and insult the enemy when charging. It is a way to establish a psychological advantage.

It can also be seen from this that they are accustomed to fighting.

But the group of people rushing towards Lan En now only heard the sound of footsteps. Moreover, their steps were messy and they didn’t even have a basic formation.

A proper layman.

Finally, the group of people rushed into Lan En's field of vision.

To be honest, the few steps they rushed had already left them out of breath.

This is an obvious novice symptom. An overly excited mood leads to a loss of physical strength, and one's own legs become weak before even cutting someone.

Lan En was right there, standing sideways and looking at them.

He watched expressionlessly as a group of men about 1.5 meters tall and dressed in shabby clothes rushed toward him, roaring and screaming, holding hatchets, sharp bamboo poles, and even wooden sticks.

They generally have bloodshot eyes due to excessive excitement, and the leader screams the most fiercely.

Lan En could tell by looking at their expressions that these people were frightened and excited, and couldn't listen to anything at all.

Sighing softly, Lan En grasped the sharp bamboo pole pointed by the leader as if he were receiving the chopsticks handed to him.

Going to the side, the pointed tip brushed against Lan En's waist.

The leader's eyes changed from excitement to horror.

He wanted to stop, put away the gun, and stab again, but this series of actions was simple, and it would be too difficult for an amateur charging with a gun.

He couldn't hold his feet, and the two-meter-long bamboo pole slipped from Lan En's waist in an instant.

And he also came within reach of Lan En.

Blessed as a soul, the leader raised his head at this moment, and then he realized how tall the man in front of him was.

Then, a big slap fell from the sky, causing his vision to go dark.
