Gate of the Cross

Chapter 372 All the way to the north

"Mr. Xinjie, is Mr. Xinjie there?"

Xinjie, who was resting in his room in Ruminas Village, was woken up by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was the village head.

"Village head? Please come in."

Xinjie first welcomed the village head into his room and asked after he sat down, "What's the matter?"

The village head of Ruinas Village has been very familiar with Xinjie these days, so he is not polite with Xinjie and directly entered the topic:

"Mr. Xinjie must have a strong strength to come here from Gular, right? The people in the regiment who accompanied you last time admired you very much!"

"If there is anything wrong with the village head, just say it."

Xinjie knew that the village head liked to beat around the bush and never directly expressed his true thoughts, but Xinjie did not like his approach.

After hearing Xinjie's words, the village head paused, seemed to organize the language, and then said:

"In fact, there were undead in the Imr Forest not long ago... You should know this, right?"

"That's right. The last time the village head talked to Head Pitt, I was also next to him."

"That... is it. It is said that there are soldiers from the Kingdom of France in this forest that have been handed down from the generation of my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. I don't know if it's true..."

It's really wordy. Xinjie almost couldn't help saying this sentence. Since he returned from 4,000 years ago and awakened part of his memory, he found that his personality had changed more and more, from calm to complaining...

But he heard the village head continue to say, "... The undead of the warriors came to the village and asked us to hand over the descendants of the Elkadia Empire and kill them. Of course, none of us came out. Who knows if we are the descendants of the empire that was destroyed before? But if it is not handed over, the village will be completely destroyed. Recently, the ghost has become more and more fierce. When you were away yesterday, the whole village almost didn't sleep well... But many adventurers expelled him, and none of them came back... So even if you look strong, I dare not ask you..."

Could you please not peek at me when you say this sentence?

Xinjie looked at the village head and said so, looking at himself with that kind of eyes, and instantly felt that he had lost if he was serious with him. ( Peek)

However, even if the village head doesn't say anything, Imr Forest Xinjie will go. After all, this is his first step in changing the world. He had planned to go to the village head today to ask about the Imr Forest, but he didn't expect the village head to come to him.

Naturally, Xinjie nodded, "Leave it to me."

"Oh! You are willing to accept it! Thank you, Imr Forest from here to the north, at the foot of Benicas Volcano. Please take this with you."

Sure enough, although the village head said, "I dare not ask you", when Xinjie took the initiative to ask for an investigation, he immediately showed a happy expression, but then restrained and took out something and gave it to Xinjie.

This is a torch, but Xinjie can feel the magical power in it.

His face became so fast that even the task props were ready. Xinjie was too lazy to complain, which reminded him of helping Eric find his sword. At that time, he also gave himself the same torch, but at that time, his strength was too weak to understand the torch to board. Strength.

"I'm going to investigate there later."

"Uh-huh, please!"

Watching the village head leave happily, Xinjie smiled and put the torch on the table and began to prepare.

"Jay, do you think the ghost of Imr Forest is really Palukes?"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded in Xinjie's heart.

"I think it's very likely that it's him. You also heard what the village head said just now. If it weren't for him, there would be no need for the villagers to hand over the descendants of the Elkadia Empire, and you have seen his situation with your own eyes before..."

"It's all my fault. If I had known this, I shouldn't have given that to the princess..."

There is regret in the girl's voice.

"Don't say that. If you hadn't given her that, she might have been caught up and killed by Palukes."

Xinjie persuaded.

"Maybe...but I didn't expect her to use that in the end..."

The girl talking to Xinjie is Ashaf. The moment he met Ashaf, Xinjie awakened some memories and probably knew the future development of the matter, so he decisively changed his original method and took Ashaf and Mikoto Misaka to Imr Forest, hoping to stop Palukes. And the queen.

It's just that when they arrived, it was still late. The princess, Princess Mecusett, had used what was later known as the secret treasure of the empire. In an instant, all the enemies struggled painfully in front of her. Every rebel army was infected with an unknown disease, and the living body died of decay. Just as the princess was stunned, a mysterious girl, Rubby, appeared and she guided the princess to Northfield to meet. The Tolufagia Empire was established with the help of elves.

This is what Xinjie knew by combining his own eyes and awakening memories four thousand years ago. Of course, he did not see Lucy when he went there. Who was this mysterious girl? Xinjie felt that she was also a key figure in the whole incident.

After finding that the matter was irreparable, Xinjie told Ashaf everything, including the matter from 4,000 years later. Although Ashaf felt very surprised after hearing this, he did not hesitate to believe in Xinjie.

After that, she returned to 4,000 years later with Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka, but what the three of them did not expect, and did not know why. After 4,000 years, Ashafu did not appear in the world as a complete "human" posture, but only existed in Xinjie's heart in the form of thoughts, except for Xinjie. No one else can find her, and she can only communicate with Xinjie.

However, she is already very happy, but Xinjie is not used to it. After all, the two souls sharing one body only appeared in fantasy novels before.

"Let's go."

Xinjie packed everything up, simply communicated with Xiafu, then opened the door and went out.

When he, or they walked to the entrance of the village, he found that someone was already standing there waiting for them.

"Misaka?"

"Xinjie, where are you going in a hurry?"

Seeing Misaka Mikoto holding her arms and being blocked here, Xinjie was not a fool, so she naturally knew her plan.

"... This matter should not have involved you in the first place, Misaka."

Xinjie doesn't want Mikoto Misaka to enter this matter again. It can be said that it was an accident to go 4,000 years ago, but this time he did not want her to be involved again. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her.

"What are you talking about? We are friends!"

Hearing Xinjie's words, Misaka Mikoto was angry in an instant. She took a few steps and rushed to Xinjie, "How can I stand by after experiencing such a thing? Besides, who said that this matter has nothing to do with me? I also want to help others. Since I have seen it, I can't ignore it! If you don't take me today, I will secretly follow people. If you have the ability, you can get rid of me!"

Xinjie smiled bitterly, "It's really a simple and rough logic." With that, he discussed with Ashaf.

Misaka Mikoto also looked at Xinjie with some uneasiness. Although she was stubborn, she knew in her heart that if Xinjie really didn't want to take her with her, there was nothing she could do. Although she is very confident in her tracking ability, Ashafu is now in Xinjie's body. Who knows if there is any way for her to avoid her?

On the contrary, she doesn't care much about Xinjie's strength. After all, she only has the level of Level4...

After a while, Xinjie nodded to her, "Well, Misaka, I agree to take you with you, but you have to promise me that once you are in danger, you must take your safety as the most important thing."

"That's natural. I'm not a fool."

Hearing Xinjie say this, Misaka Mikoto smiled brightly.

The two, or three, went all the way north and soon came to the entrance of Imr Forest.

Maybe it was because Xinjie agreed to bring Mikoto Misaka, which made her very happy. The demons along the road were cleaned up by her, and Xinjie didn't even have a chance to take action.

Xiafu shook her head with a wry smile, and A Xiafu also said to Xinjie with a smile, "It seems that she wants to show you her strength!"

"Yes, I also know she is very good. After all, it's Level5."

To Xinjie's surprise, Ashafu understood Misaka Mikoto's worldview quite quickly and quickly figured out the meaning of Level5.

"This girl is pretty good."

"I think so too."

While the two exchanged views on Misaka Mikoto, Misaka Mikoto suddenly shouted, "Xinjie, come and have a look!"

Although Ashafu can see and hear everything in the outside world, she can't communicate with anyone other than Xinjie, so although Misaka Mikoto knows that Ashafu is in Xinjie's body, there is nothing she can do.

"Please note that there are undead! Go back quickly!"

What does this mean? Misaka Mikoto read the words on this wooden card and looked at Xinjie.

"It should be a warning. After all, things have been made a big deal." Xinjie came forward and took a closer look, took out the torch from his arms, reached out and raised it gently, and the torch burned itself.

Although Ashif is only in Xinjie's body, her soul is still extremely powerful. Through communication with her, Xinjie can also use magic like her. That is to say, the current Xinjie is both a swordsman and a magician.

"It's really convenient."

Seeing that Xinjie lit the torch, Misaka Mikoto was also a little envious. She could only discharge electricity and not set fire.

"Let's go, let's go in"
