Chapter 572: A Better World
Chapter 572: A Better World
"What are you thinking about?"
"…I once entrusted my life to someone else who was beyond my imagination…"
"Maybe that's a very important person. Humans always like this..."
"Hmm..." Nuo Linxi recalled, but the memory has almost disappeared, so why did I have that kind of emotion? "Do lovers count as very important people? The kind that are ready to get married..."
"? You are more cruel than I thought..."
"Can't you?"
"I want to ask you a question. Do you have parents? Has anyone close to you taught you these things?" Perhaps he was aware of the offense in his words, so he deliberately changed the address to a respectful one.
"Well... I said no, is it okay..." When I came to this world, I really had no father or mother.
“…I’m sorry.” I thought the reason why the other party had a weak sense of family affection was because he had never had any good family affection experience, but I didn’t expect that he simply didn’t have it…
"…I'm not too sad, and you don't have to be sad either. It's okay, I'm used to this kind of life. It's always like this, no matter whether it can live up to expectations or not, the results are actually the same. The final result is just a mixture of disappointment, despair and sadness."
"So you want to change the world because you don't want more people like you?"
"I once had a very close person who told me that people like me would suffer in society and would not be able to achieve great success. But now I am living proof that he was wrong!" My relatives once told me not to be a kind person, not to help others, and not to let society change. After all, everyone is trying hard to live their own lives. "But I have always believed that if the world is just a little bit better, even if everyone works hard to be a little bit better, the world will be incredibly better..."
“What beautiful words…”
The other person's expression was genuine. He was not the kind of person who would say these words lightly. Every word would eventually come true. There had never been a lie or an inability to respond to things that were expected to be accomplished.
"Okay, I've said too much. I actually have to go help with teaching, so I may have to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll probably leave tomorrow morning, so please hurry up, the sun is about to set today."
After paying enough remuneration, he went back to write a letter, in which he informed about some small things that happened after he came here, and then said words to prove his identity, and finally stated his request. Of course, the funds he left behind were sufficient.
The letter and the money are placed together. The letter can only be opened using a special method. The other party has a special knife and the envelope is a matching alchemical product, which means that the envelope can never be opened except with this knife.
Any other approach will make the results questionable.
"These are the things that need to be delivered. Do you need my help in purchasing supplies? Or is it enough to just give money?"
"When buying supplies, generally speaking, I won't buy too much, but I need to give a little more money. After all, this is not a place with abundant supplies. The prices of supplies here are higher, and ordinary merchants won't buy things here."
"I'm not a businessman. OK, tell me your name when I get home..."
"I'll tell you when you get there. I don't like people calling me by my name, so they usually call me Mr. Little Mercenary, or call me by my nickname..."
"Such a cute and smart little mercenary, what is your nickname?"
The teasing tone made the other party a little unhappy, but he still said his name obediently.
"My nickname is Dune... It means the one carved by the wind."
"Sand dunes are not carved by the wind. They just keep shifting with the wind... I'm talking about the knowledge of scholars, but since it's your nickname, I won't comment too much."
After a night's rest, the hotel here was too dry, making people feel uncomfortable all over. I woke up once in the middle of the night because of thirst and kept coughing. I drank some water and felt much better. The wind and sand here are too dry, which makes people's lungs very uncomfortable...
"If this place could be planted with trees, it would definitely be a better place..."
I am the one who wants to make this world a better place!
The indescribable excitement kept me awake in the second half of the night. The next day, I had no dark circles under my eyes. My alchemy was perfect, so what did dark circles matter? !
When we set out on our journey again, the traveler looked like he had not slept well. He kept complaining about this and that, while he said goodbye to the little mercenary in the distance... oh, that is, Mr. Dune.
"The child told me that you did something great... So you are really that person?"
"Yes, I didn't die because of alchemy. Perhaps you can call me a special immortal species that has undergone a late transformation? But I will still age. For example, I actually have wrinkles now, but because of alchemy, it doesn't look very obvious."
"That's amazing. So I can live forever?"
"You can be immortal." But perhaps you won't be immortal. Even after you die, your soul will still be forced to be trapped in your body, unable to escape from the pain and rest...
The other party didn't understand what he said and showed some envy in his eyes. Indeed, the other party was not young anymore. In this age where the average life expectancy is in the 30s or 40s, it is already considered a long life, not to mention that the risk of disability in this profession is ridiculously high.
Being able to live to this age is more or less a matter of luck.
"The desert is very peaceful today. It seems that the Scarlet King welcomes our arrival..."
The desert and the Red King's emotions are closely related, which is what all the people believe.
In fact, gods will not deliberately change the weather. Except for some gods who are related to the weather, most of their powers are just incidental, like wind... the former god of wind.
As he walked deeper into the place, several people who looked like priests came over and he suddenly became nervous. Although the Red King and the other party had signed a peace treaty, their people still excluded each other.
He just looked at his wrist secretly. The leaf there turned into something like a tattoo, not very obvious. The other party came over, sniffed his body like a hound, and then agreed to pass.
