Chapter 283 Purple Light
On the way back, Tie Zha suddenly stopped walking and grabbed his hair. At this moment, his mood became more and more irritable, as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.
“You have nothing, but your tone is bigger than anyone else’s …”
Bi Qinglan’s words lingered in his mind for a long time. It was like a curse, tearing apart his soul. In an instant, he felt like a tide of sorrow, powerlessness, pain, and loss. Every word of hers was like a sharp knife, fiercely piercing into his heart. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn’t deny it. Because this was an ironclad fact, he and his faith had nothing …
Unknowingly, he returned to the Atlantic Mansion. In a corner of the courtyard, he lay down beside a large rock, picked up grass leaves casually, and quietly looked up at the starry sky.
Half an hour later, he decided to find someone to talk about his frustration. He returned to his room and dialed the switchboard of Qingyu Manor from the communication desk beside the sofa in the living room.
“Hello, Atlantic Mansion. This is Qing Yu Manor’s communication switchboard. May I ask who you are looking for?” A sweet female voice came from over there. Afterwards, Tie Zha found Mu Yu Ling Lan through the operator and said that he wanted to see her.
“I’ll be right there.” Seemingly sensing his loneliness, Mu Yu Ling Lan turned around and left the room without saying anything else.
After hanging up, Tie Zha took a bottle of brandy from the wine cabinet, bit open the cork and drank it directly. As he shouted, he walked out of the house, returned to the corner and lay down.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Yu Ling Lan arrived as scheduled. She appeared in the courtyard of the Atlantic Mansion and stood in front of Tie Zha. At this moment, she wore a light blue priest’s robe as usual. Looking up, the bright moonlight reflected her calm face, becoming more dignified and solemn, holy and quiet.
“Come, have a drink with me.” Tie Zha raised the wine bottle and said. At this time, he had already drunk quite a bit and was somewhat drunk.
“Alright.” Mu Yu Ling Lan took the bottle and took a big sip. Then, she smiled lightly and asked, “What happened to you, classmate?”
“I feel a little confused, I want to talk to someone …” Tie Zha whispered.
Mu Yu Ling Lan walked forward, put her hands behind her back, and leaned over to look at him. “Oh ~ Looks like you’ve encountered troubles during your growth period ~” After a while, she suddenly revealed a playful smile and asked, “Young man, do you need to confess to the Rain God?”
‘”No need” Tie Zha’s heart trembled when she saw this, and she subconsciously shrank back.
“The Divine Priest of Rain God will listen to your repentance and forgive your sins.” Mu Yu Ling Lan stretched out her hand towards him and smiled sweetly, “Come on ~ Tell me what bad things you’ve done lately ~”
‘”No” Tie Zha shook his head and sighed. “I… I don’t know what my future should be. No… I don’t even know what I should be doing now. I’m a brilliant fire seed, but I can’t see the way forward.”
“You shouldn’t ask me this question” Mu Yu Ling Lan interrupted him and said seriously, “I am a follower of the Rain God, not a monk of the Temple. I believe in the glory of the gods, not the glory of the ancestors.” She said calmly, “If you must ask me, I can’t help but advise you to leave the faith of the temple and convert to the glory of the gods, so …” She pleaded softly, “From now on, please don’t ask me questions about faith, okay?”
“Alright…” Tie Zha lowered his head and sighed, “I was wrong…”
“If you can’t find your way now, why don’t you stop and do what you can?” Mu Yu Ling Lan knelt down beside him and hugged his arm as she said softly, “The past, the regrets of history, are not your shoulders alone, nor are they paths that you can walk alone.” Pursuing a dream is originally a long and distant matter. It takes generations of hard work and waiting. Perhaps most of them will never see the other side of the river in their entire lives … “She advised softly,” But it’s not your fault, so please don’t push yourself too hard. Ling Lan will feel heartache. ”
Tie Zha thought for a while, then suddenly grinned and asked, “Oh right, didn’t you say that you would give birth to a lot of little Northess for me and let them inherit the faith of the Fire Seed? But now you don’t want to talk to me about the issue of faith, so why?”
“That’s them. Ling Lan isn’t Northas.” Mu Yu Ling Lan gently patted him and said.
“Then how many are you going to give birth to?” Tie Zha asked.
“Look at you ~” Mu Yu Ling Lan looked at him, her eyes surging with blurry colors, like a dazzling river of stars flowing in the night sky.
“How about ten?” Tie Zha stretched out ten fingers, ready to scare her.
“As long as you have the ability, twenty will do. If you are a boy, I will let them surname Northess and become glorious fire seeds. If you are a girl, I will let them surname Mu Yu and join our Notre Dame Academy.”
“Are you sure? I heard that when a woman has more children, her figure will change, like a bucket of water. Her breasts, stomach and buttocks will become very big.” Tie Zha gestured.
“It doesn’t matter, Ling Lan is willing.” In an instant, her peculiar seriousness and devotion almost stunned Tie Zha.
Just like this, time quietly flowed in silence. The two of them snuggled up to each other until the moon rose into the sky …
In the early hours of the morning, Mu Yu Ling Lan quietly left the Atlantic Mansion and returned to Whisper Manor. After she left, Tie Zha took a bath, climbed up the pavilion, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep comfortably.
He was speechless all night …
The next morning, Eva sent someone to deliver a brand-new Star Stone Black/Card. The registered name was Tie Zha, and her background was a resident of Silver City No. 15 in the Northern Wilderness Continent. She left a small note saying that there were 10,000 gold coins in the card, which was temporarily allocated to him as a reward. After the distribution of the Tyre Guards’ battle merits was completed, she would make up for the follow-up amount.
After obtaining the card, Tie Zha carried a single-edged straight sword and a psionic warrior rifle on his back and chased after the apron. A few hours later, he boarded the air train to Quicksand Town. The reason he left without saying goodbye was because he didn’t want to be asked to stay. He really didn’t want to stay in the academy. Perhaps only by returning to the battlefield would he be able to regain his sense of existence. He originally did not belong to this comfortable land. In this place, he would only become more and more confused and unable to find a direction.
More than 30 hours later, by Dr3713-02-6, 8:00 a.m. Silver City Time, 69:00 noon Satt Time, Tie Zha arrived at the apron of Flowsand Town.
After completing the entry formalities, Tie Zha bought a cheap second-hand motorcycle and drove through the Satre Gate to Windsand Castle. Then, he went to the bank, took out 5000 gold coins, packed them in a long money bag, tied them to his waist, and went to the “Big Rum” bar to find Xiao Yue.
“Hello ~ We meet again.” Xiao Yue greeted.
“Take me to Old Blind.” Tie Zha put a gold coin on the table, pushed it over, and said directly.
“Alright.” Xiao Yue nodded obediently.
“Also …” Tie Zha hesitated for a moment and said, “Help me arrange an appointment with the bounty warrior named Hagrid. Tell him that I want to treat him to a drink and get to know each other.” Ever since he met this bounty warrior last time, he had developed an inexplicable sense of curiosity. For some reason, the other party’s appearance had left a clear impression on his mind, so he planned to make contact with the other party when he returned this time.
However, Little Yue shook her head and said, “Uncle Hagrid is gone. He is not here anymore.”
“Where did you go?” Tie Zha asked.
“Two weeks ago, he came here for his last drink and said goodbye to us. He said that he was going to the Southern Continent to replace his brother and become an Earthwalker.” Xiao Yue replied.
“What is Earth Walker?” Tie Zha revealed a trace of doubt.
“This is also the first time Xiaoyue has heard of it. I’m not sure what it is. Perhaps Old Blind knows.” Xiao Yue guessed. Afterwards, the two of them left the bar and headed towards the old street to the west of Sand Wind Castle.
Half an hour later, Tie Zha arrived at the divination shop last time. In the dark room, he saw the old blind man dressed as a divine rod.
“Hualala …”
After entering, Tie Zha took off the money bag on his waist and threw it on the small table in front of the old blind man.
Ah! Gold coins, so many gold coins! You must be the most honorable, the greatest, and the most benevolent guest in the world … Old Blind stroked his heavy purse and praised without hesitation.
“Thank you for your help last time.” Said Tie Zha.
“Ah? It’s you” The old blind man was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. He threw the money bag at Tie Zha’s feet with a dark face and said in a deep voice, “I already said that it was a gift from the corpse carrier. Do you look down on us? Or do you think our hands are dirty?”
“Friend, you misunderstand” Tie Zha picked up the money bag and put it back on the table. “I’m going to buy another ability.”
A moment later, Old Blind brought Tie Zha into the inner room, opened the hidden door in the wardrobe, walked through a passage, and took the elevator down to the freezer. As Tie Zha flipped through the pamphlet and picked out abilities, Old Blind suggested, “You don’t have any basic abilities, so it’s best to have one. In most battles, basic abilities play a bigger role than rare abilities.”
Tie Zha thought for a while and said, “Well, I want a pump circuit.” Afterwards, Old Blind took out a frozen corpse and let him carry it into the thawing room to start absorbing it …
A few minutes later, Tie Zha finished absorbing the new insect transformation ability and walked out of the small room. Perhaps because of his basic ability, he didn’t feel any change. Before he left, he asked Old Blind what “Earth Walker” was.
Hearing his question, Old Blind was shocked at first. He then fell into deep thought. After a long time, Old Blind sighed. ‘”You have the War Song harmonica, but you don’t know what an Earthwalker is. Perhaps it’s because you picked up your harmonica, or perhaps it’s because your elders don’t think it’s time to tell you. Anyway …” The old blind man paused and said, “No matter what the reason is, I shouldn’t tell you the answer to this question, understand?”
“Understood.” Tie Zha nodded and said goodbye to Old Blind and left the hut.
Looking at Tie Zha’s departing back, the old man’s blind eyes revealed a trace of a snicker. At this moment, in his brain wave vision, the young man’s body was suffused with five different colors, and the most conspicuous of them was a faint purple glow
