Chapter 186
The Chaos Sea Strange Road will open at around 9:00 am on November 22, and there is still one day before the opening of the Strange Road.
Cheng Yu took Mei Weier to stroll in the city of Lightos.
The streets were piled with luggage and goods, the crowds were crowded, and the air was filled with the smell of feces and sweat.
Mei Weier was held by Cheng Yu's hand, looked up at Cheng Yu's back, and a faint smile rose unconsciously at the corner of her mouth.
As they walked, a pleasant sound of piano and a clear singing of a young man came from the noisy crowd.
The wind, an invisible walker,
gently brushed every corner of the world.
Passing through the mountains and forests, the leaves rustled,
as if telling an ancient legend.
…
The wind, a free spirit,
crossed the ocean and set off turbulent waves.
Touching the beach, leaving a dreamlike trace,
let thoughts dance on the crest of the wave.
…
The bard, wearing a red cape on the upper body, bloomers, white stockings, and black square-toed leather shoes on the lower body, was plucking the strings of the harp and singing poetry.
He was not tall, with a delicate appearance, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Cheng Yu recognized at a glance that this man was the bard Charles whom he had met in Bailu Town before.
Cheng Yu's fly-slapping magic and stewing magic were both taught by Charles.
According to Aphra, Charles went to the Demon King's Palace to steal wine two hundred years ago and was wanted by the Demon King throughout the region.
Although he looked like a little boy of fifteen or sixteen, he was actually an old monster who had lived for an unknown period of time.
The bards were a group of free-spirited people who liked to travel around the world.
Cheng Yu was not surprised to meet Charles in Lightos City. He took out a gold coin and threw it into the empty broken bowl in front of Charles.
Ding~
The gold coin hit the bowl wall and made a crisp sound.
Hearing the voice, Charles came back to his senses from being immersed in poetry, looked up at Cheng Yu, and smiled in surprise, "Brother Cheng Yu, I meet you again, what a fate."
"Why are you in Lightos City?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Waiting for the strange road to open, to visit old friends in the Holy Kingdom."
As he said, Charles bent down to pick up the gold coins in the broken bowl, and smiled and thanked Cheng Yu, "Thank you for your gold coins, I can buy wine again."
"What a drunkard."
Every time Cheng Yu gave Charles money, Charles would definitely buy wine.
In Charles' words, you can skip meals, but you can't skip drinking.
"Brother Cheng Yu, I haven't seen you for a few months. You're doing well."
Charles' eyes fell on Cheng Yu's right arm, where the artifact Tidal Trident was stored.
"Not bad, I'm going to the Holy Kingdom too, let's go together tomorrow."
Cheng Yu had a good impression of Charles, and he was considered a friend.
"Where do you live? I'll find you in the morning."
"The ice house on the open space north of Lightos City."
...
The next morning, the sun rose.
Drunk Charles came to Cheng Yu's ice house with a bottle of wine. Because of the drunkenness, his pretty face was flushed.
Cheng Yu and Mei Weier came out of the ice house.
"Good morning, brother Cheng Yu, do you want to drink together?"
Charles squinted his eyes, his expression was slightly drunk, and shook the bottle in his hand at Cheng Yu.
"I don't drink. Others drink at night. You drink in the morning?"
"My drinking is not determined by time, but by whether I have money in my pocket. Thank you for the gold coin yesterday."
Charles used the gold coin Cheng Yu gave him to buy a few bottles of good wine. He drank from last night to this morning and drank a lot.
Cheng Yu twitched his mouth, "You are awesome."
Mei Weier was not interested in Charles and looked away.
At this time, Enzo and his sister walked out of the ice house and walked towards Cheng Yu. They had agreed to go together before.
"Who is this?"
Walking to Cheng Yu, Enzo looked at Charles and was a little confused about Charles' gender.
Without waiting for Cheng Yu to introduce himself, Charles happily introduced himself under the influence of alcohol, "Hello, my name is Charles. My main job is a bard, and my side job is a magician out of interest. My biggest hobbies are drinking and writing poems."
"Hello."
Enzo greeted politely.
I was not familiar with Charles, so I didn't talk to him again.
The opening time of the strange road was 9:30 in the morning.
The crowds in the city of Leteos were surging and noisy. Merchants drove horses and passengers carried luggage, all heading towards the west gate of the city of Leteos.
Two kilometers outside the west gate, there was an endless sea of sand.
The space where the sea of sand was located was the Chaos Sea in the center of the continent. A huge black tower several tens of meters high stood on the edge of the Chaos Sea.
Thousands of people were waiting at the edge of the sea.
Cheng Yu and his five companions were squeezed in the crowd. Cheng Yu held Meiweier, Enzo held his sister, and Charles followed behind Cheng Yu drunkenly, holding the corner of Cheng Yu's clothes.
When he reached the edge of the Chaos Sea, Cheng Yu noticed that a blood-red meat ball was floating on the sea of sand in the distance, with a stickyRed liquid dripped from the meatball, and the surface was covered with eyes, quietly watching everything around.
The last time Cheng Yu came to the Chaos Sea, he had seen this big meatball with eyes, which ordinary people could not see.
I don't know what it is.
At some point, Charles stood beside Cheng Yu from behind him, staring at the meatball in a daze.
Cheng Yu was secretly surprised. Looking at Charles's appearance, Charles seemed to be able to see the big meatball in the desert.
He touched Charles next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Charles, can you see things in the sand sea?"
"You, you can see it too?"
Charles stared in surprise, and he sobered up a little.
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Strange, it stands to reason that normal people can't see it."
Charles looked at Cheng Yu with the eyes of discovering rare birds and animals.
"What is that?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.
"That thing is called the Observer, a monster without independent thinking left over from the ancient war of gods." Charles introduced.
Cheng Yu was even more surprised. Not only could Charles see the big meatball, he also knew its origin.
"Isn't there a dangerous space-time turbulence in the Chaos Sea? How can that monster survive in it?"
"It's a monster. It can't be understood with common sense."
"Will it attack us when we cross the Chaos Sea later?"
"The monitor, as the name suggests, is only responsible for monitoring and does not have the ability to attack."
"That's good."
Cheng Yu felt relieved. He thought it was something awesome, but it turned out to be a 360° high-definition camera.
Cheng Yu suddenly thought of another question. Since it is a camera, there must be a monitor and a monitored person.
He asked Charles, "You said it is a monitor. Who is it monitoring for?"
"Oh, I drank too much last night and I feel dizzy."
Charles hung his head and pretended to be half awake and half drunk.
"Hey, don't play dead."
Cheng Yu pushed Charles.
Xiaer buried his head and ignored Cheng Yu.
"Damn it~"
Cheng Yu cursed, knowing that Xiaer didn't want to tell him the secret about the meatball.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell me, as long as there is no danger.
Time passed by.
Suddenly, the desert space in front of him rippled like water waves, and the golden road hundreds of meters wide extended forward, extending to the depths of the desert, where it could not be seen.
"The strange road is open, go quickly, go quickly."
"After waiting for four months, it is finally open."
"Praise the God of Time and Space."
~
Cheng Yu and the other five followed the crowd and came to the strange road. The golden light under their feet was as hard as iron.
The strange road was endowed with the power of time and space. Cheng Yu felt that he had walked on the strange road for only a dozen seconds and had reached the end of the strange road.
The Holy Kingdom was in front.
