Chapter 292: Edge of Dreams
Abes arrived at the Breland home earlier than expected.
When a group of houses appear at the edge of your field of vision, it means you have reached your destination.
The others had no reaction to this slightly early surprise.
Although Abes had seen the so-called "world" geomancy map of the small kingdom of Łomza, it was difficult to connect the visual straight-line distance with the actual walking distance.
In this regard, only Bai Renchou scratched his head in confusion.
"Normally speaking... is the Breland family's territory so close to the Shirai Tea House? It feels like it's about half a day's journey closer than before."
Soran on the side also joked, "You have lost your memory, so how come you remember these things so clearly?"
"I just lost my previous memories, but I'm not an old man with a bad memory..."
However, Bai Renchou's silver-white and silver-gray hair was not very convincing.
Generally speaking, the people of the North in the east, that is, the surrounding area including the small kingdom of Łomza, have natural hair colors that are mostly gold, yellow, red, bright red, and brown.
Therefore, Bai Renchou's hair color makes him look very old.
Of course, if it is due to the influence of magic and the impact of the magic network, or many other reasons such as race, gods, demons, etc., changes in hair color are also a very common situation.
Just like the differences in skin color can be sorted out into a neat gradient color card under these influences.
It may not be scientific, but it is magical.
The standard silver hair of the Mels family is actually their natural color, which is a rare situation that is passed down from generation to generation.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many battles in the east. Everyone guessed the identity of Kronos as the daughter of the Mels family at the first time, but it was still difficult to know who Abes was at the first time.
Apart from the fact that people would not easily pin the answer on a dead person who lived thousands of years ago, and that portraits of heroes today often use exaggerated rather than realistic painting techniques, the most important reason is that Abes's appearance does not have any particularly striking features.
It's hard to tell whether her hair color is light brown or chestnut, and her eyes are as bright as gold, which is not uncommon here.
There may be some deviation in color difference, but you can still find a lot of colors that are similar.
Abes once considered whether to add some more eye-catching existence to make himself no longer be regarded as a rebel peasant leader or a fallen nobleman, but in order to avoid deviating from the historical image of Abes, this idea was eventually abandoned.
This set of thinking eventually completely dissipated after discovering that this world was most likely not a game but a real world.
After all, we're not playing games. It's embarrassing to have tattoos.
In short, in this world, ordinary hair color and skin color, to some extent, also mean that he is most likely an ordinary person rather than an extraordinary person;
On the contrary, unusual hair color and skin color can basically confirm that a person has extraordinary abilities.
However, after discovering that Bai Renchou did not seem to be a supernatural being and his skills were only at the level of a slightly stronger warrior, Abes became extremely confused.
If it's not aging, nor the influence of becoming a superhuman, then what's the matter with his silver hair?
Although there is still a big difference in hair color compared to Kronos, they are basically in the same color system.
Even when contacting Kronos several times, Abes asked indirectly about the inheritance of the Mels family.
Well, it's definitely not that I want to see if there's any bloody plot to watch, I'm just concerned about whether the Mels family, which is related to me, has ever had any trouble.
The journey continues.
After confirming that Bai Renchou really did not remember it wrongly, but really felt that he had lost half a day's journey, Abes patted Soran on the shoulder.
"Hey, it's your turn. Based on our daily travel speed, can you calculate how much the Breland family's territory has expanded?"
He was extremely sensitive to time, and was considered by Abes to have the talent to become a time mage. Abes told him about the rune book during the journey and promised to make him a real mage who could cast spells before the end of the journey.
From then on, the hunter who had already trusted him so much for saving Carterburg and defeating the witch, now admired him even more.
It’s because Abes told him the possibility of becoming a superhuman.
This is an opportunity that cannot be obtained even by bowing down in any altar or church.
After hearing about the rune book, Crimson became much calmer.
This red dragon followed Abes in order to learn how to go further. As long as Abes could continue to show his ability to transform ordinary people into extraordinary beings, even if he was not inferior to Abes when his power was fully unleashed, he could continue to pretend to be an ordinary child.
Just like when he was dealing with the witch, he set her body on fire and then sank into the swamp, but he didn't show any disgust or complaint.
As for why it was enlightenment rather than teaching, it was because this guy had never properly understood the magic industrial system created by Kronos, Hyogi, Sister Agatha and others under the leadership of Abes.
He understood education as some kind of sudden enlightenment and miracle, while everything that Abes thought about was actually a gradual enlightenment.
Every drop of water on the roots is ultimately the source of the tree's growth rings and xylem height.
During this time, Soran also gave the answer to the calculation.
"Master Qian Zhongzhan, according to our previous pace, a day's journey is about thirty miles, and half a day's journey is fifteen miles."
"But considering that the path is not connected in a straight line after all, and the place we are at now is not directly facing the center of the Breland family, the straight-line distance is at least twelve miles."
"But the specific shape is still uncertain."
Regarding the last one, Abes nodded in agreement.
The expansion of a territory is not cut into strict squares or circles.
Instead, it will be finally completed based on geographical resources, mountains, rivers, and even long-term political divisions.
The only country that makes such square and square cuts is America, which has no historical accumulation.
"If the other party only expands along the path, then there is only the minimum of twelve miles, and the expanded area is not that large."
"But if it is a circle with the lord's location in mind, then the scope of its territory will be at least six times larger."
In the short period of time when Bai Renqiu passed by and returned, the territory of a lord increased so many times. Is this reasonable?
----------
Abes took a deep breath and turned to look at his companions around him.
They were all waiting for his instructions, obviously full of doubts about this sudden expansion of territory.
"We came to Breland's house to find out information about the witch's activities. We must enter."
"It's just that now it seems that we have to find out the truth behind this," Abes whispered, "This is unreasonable and unnatural."
From here, you can see some scattered houses on the edge, nestled among a series of rolling hills.
The overall composition gives the feeling of a most ordinary village.
From afar, the village is shrouded in a layer of soft morning mist, as if covered with a layer of veil, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility.
At the edge of the village was a vast field that emitted a golden glow. Even from such a long distance, Abes could imagine the appearance of drooping ears of rice or wheat.
There is a winding river running through the middle of the field.
As mentioned above, most of the houses are built along the mountainside in an orderly manner, with quaint green tiles hanging on the roofs.
"Do you see where the problem is?" Abes asked with a smile, and after thinking for a few seconds, Anivia on the side cast Eagle Eye on everyone present.
As their vision suddenly narrowed, they also scanned the places that Abes had seen one by one.
Fields, no problem. If you look closely, you can see the heavy harvest bending the plants, and they are dancing with the ups and downs of the wind.
When you get closer, you can see the river water, which is indeed crystal clear, making you want to scoop it up and take a sip.
When the view of the houses gets closer, you can not only see the roofs covered with green tiles, but also the beautiful vines climbing on the walls, as well as the small animals and flowers raised in front of and behind the houses.
In a small square surrounded by several houses, you can also see an ancient stone well, which fits the atmosphere and feeling of the common sense of living around a well.
The reason why the saying "Wherever there is well water, people can sing Liu Yong's lyrics" is used to describe the popularity of Liu Yong's lyrics is because well water is indeed a common existence.
flutter!
After his vision was blocked by a flying white dove, Soran reluctantly withdrew his vision.
"Although it seems too good to be true, there must be something wrong with it, but I just don't know where the problem lies..."
And Abes took a deep breath and looked around again, the doubts in his mind gradually becoming clear.
Although Anivia's Eagle Vision allowed her companions to see more clearly, the problem seemed to be hidden deeper.
It is not important to see clearly, what is important is to see the key points and details.
As for who has the best observation ability among these people, I'm afraid Abes is the most worthy one.
If he had not been able to grasp the details in the battle and take countermeasures, Abes might have died at the hands of the Lizardmen, General Paddy's soldiers, the one-eyed god Gruumsh, or the gray giant.
Without the training like Abes, which requires grasping clues and making judgments during battle, they naturally would not be able to find it.
The heavy rice ears are indeed very beautiful, but the growth cycle of the rice ears is wrong! At this season, the rice ears should not be so ripe.
It has been nearly half a year since the rebellion began, not to mention whether there is the manpower and resources to cultivate this acre of land and protect the harvest.
Even if it is really a relatively safe and peaceful time, now is not the time to be full of ears.
This one doubt alone is enough to expose all the lies.
And when Abes used the Eagle Eye technique and was able to see clearly, the rest of the mistakes were also found out one by one.
The fish in the water seemed to be repeating the same movements, as if controlled by some force.
The vines on the walls of the house do look green if you look at them from a distance, but if you look closely, they look like a blur of green.
It looks very much like the picture produced when the graphics card cannot handle the task and the number of AI steps is low.
After broadening his vision, Abes easily found several copied and pasted houses.
In the absence of the so-called unified standards, construction teams and model houses under modern development, how could such a unified format appear in a rural house?
After confirming that what they saw was fake, what they had to do became much simpler.
"We've dealt with Aunt Wanna's Shirai Tea Room before, I think you should know what this situation is."
The companions behind him also straightened their faces.
A field, or in other words, a sphere of influence.
"Is it still an illusion? Can it be like last time..." Bai Renchou stretched out his hand, but Abes just shook his head.
“It could be a different force this time.”
Knowing that it was the followers of the Dream God who attacked Kronos who was far away in the royal capital, Abes was naturally very clear that this time it was probably not an illusion.
Most likely, this is where the edge of the Breland family's dream can extend to.
However, illusions can be broken by the divine power of the realm of light, but dreaming is another matter.
The method I used to save Kronos last time was to enter the consciousness space from the outside and beat the enemy up.
And this time...can I still get outside of my own place?
"Well... let's go in in batches. If you see us go in and out, you can go in later;"
"If he goes in and doesn't come out, he'll probably be in danger, and you'll have to go in and wake him up... But that's not right. If he goes in and doesn't come out, then it's useless for you to go in."
Abes stopped talking halfway when he realized there was something wrong with his plan, then tilted his head to look at the red-haired child next to him.
So what if we use Crimson and I to push forward with our strongest force?
It still feels difficult.
Judging from the last time he vomited insects and entered the Baijing Tea House, this young red dragon really needs to be educated. He does not have the rough and thick style of a giant dragon at all.
Whether it was the "plague" spitted out by insects or the false beauty created by Aunt Wanna in the Shirai Tea House, the magic resistance was not high.
It was nothing to just catch up with Abes in terms of attack power; claw attacks and breath weapons were natural, not any extraordinary improvement.
After struggling for a long time, Abes finally realized that the best way was to set out together. In this way, even if something happened, they could take care of each other.
What I’m afraid of is that five people will be infected at the same time, without even a chance for the future.
"Master Qian Zhongzhan, your decision is..."
"Oh, nothing, I just remembered a joke," Abes changed the subject so that others wouldn't notice his worry.
"What's the joke?" Anivia asked.
"Yes, I saw it in a spell book before. The time span of complete resurrection is two hundred years."
"I was thinking, why don't we leave the one with the highest talent outside? If we don't come out for a while, it means something has gone wrong. Then the remaining person can go back and study hard. As long as he can master the complete resurrection technique and return within two hundred years, it will be our complete victory."
"...Master Qian Zhongzhan, this is not funny."
