Chapter 709 What do you have left after leaving all that?
Looking at the dazzling starry sky outside the window, Roland fell silent.
A full month has passed since she entered the illusion.
During this month, Roland tried everything she could, but it seemed to be of no use; she remained trapped here.
Sometimes, Roland even wondered if he was really having a dream, a dream of becoming a legend.
She couldn't cast spells, her past knowledge was useless, she had nothing left.
He was once incredibly successful, but now he's just an ordinary student. The contrast between his past glory and his current situation is so stark that it's hard to accept.
"What's wrong, child? Are you confused?"
The gentle voice reached my ears; it was Jiang Shuzhou, the teacher in this illusion.
"some……"
Roland said dejectedly.
"I feel like I'm nothing when I leave my familiar territory."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou carefully examined Roland.
This guy can actually feel lost?
But thinking about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with it.
Compared to Jiang Shuzhou, who lost his parents at a young age and lived a life without achieving anything until he became a mage and rose to prominence, Roland's life was much smoother.
From birth, Roland had an extremely smooth life, with both parents alive and well, and the blessing of Jiang Shuzhou. The biggest setback in his life came from Jiang Shuzhou himself.
All I can say is that she's had it too easy.
Thus, in the illusion, she lost all her past experience and magic, leaving her with nothing.
Such a stark contrast, from heaven to earth, would likely drive an ordinary person to contemplate suicide.
However, Roland is clearly more resilient than the average person; he is simply confused at the moment.
"Self-improvement is one of the most important virtues of humankind. If one feels worthless when leaving the fields one is familiar with, then why not become familiar with the unfamiliar fields as well?"
Upon hearing this, Roland remained silent for a moment, then looked at the full moon in the sky and suddenly felt much better.
Whether that experience was true or false, she has no other choice now. The only thing she can do now is to manage herself well and strengthen herself.
"Thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome. By the way, do you remember that I was actually you?"
"?"
Roland flipped through his memories, and then he felt terrible.
In her memory, Jiang Shuzhou was her adoptive father.
Although the law stipulates that single men must be over 60 years old to be allowed to adopt children, it is well known that Jiang Shuzhou is over 800 years old.
This old codger is still old and doesn't die. He looks young, but he's actually an old guy.
Roland was at his wit's end.
Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou has always been busy with his own things, so he basically has no interaction with Roland. He usually just gives her money and then doesn't care about her anymore. He's no different from a guardian who just washes his hands of the business.
"I'm not young anymore."
Roland said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou shrugged and then raised an eyebrow.
"A young girl in love is easily swayed by her feelings. Since that's the case, I won't interfere any longer. Just remember not to die."
"After all, once you're dead, you're really dead."
When Jiang Shuzhou spoke the following words, his tone was extremely heavy, as if he were reminding someone of something.
But before Roland could ask any more questions, Jiang Shuzhou disappeared from her sight.
In the subsequent class, a different teacher was assigned, and according to the school, Jiang Shuzhou had gone to explore multiple historical periods and would not be returning for some time.
Now, Roland was truly at a loss.
Why are all these old men riddle-solving people in that world?
You're only saying half the story, leaving the rest for yourself to figure out, right?
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Meanwhile, Roland is still stuck in the second stage.
Tyre is in a terrible situation.
"bump!"
The violent impact resounded through the sky, and the ground trembled violently.
A tree-man as large as a mountain suddenly launched an attack on Tyr and his group.
Due to the excessive preparation time and the need for caution, the journey of Tyr, Skatsla, and Gaia was quite difficult.
Although Roland had previously spread the strategy guide, Tyr no longer dared to believe such information.
He has reason to believe that this is all a smokescreen put forward by Jiang Shuzhou.
Then, they were elbowed by the ultimate jungle that had evolved countless times.
Dangerous giant tortoises, terrifying carnivorous plants, and many other plants and animals with strange uses.
This place is like a green hell.
"Fool, you've chosen the wrong opponent!"
With a roar, Tyr used all his strength to lift the treant up by the roots and then pin him to the ground.
As a result, the tree people's resistance did not diminish in the slightest.
At this moment, Tyr realized that treants do not need to breathe, so this method of forcing them to breathe is completely useless.
Forcing the tree-man to stop breathing is also a talent.
In no time, though somewhat disheveled, Tyr and his men, with their solid foundation, managed to eliminate all the threats.
As the rain gradually subsided, the surrounding jungle thinned out and eventually became barren.
Finally, it's all over.
"Phew, I shouldn't have been so cautious."
Tyr sighed. One act of caution had resulted in him being left in a disheveled state when facing threats.
But if you're not careful, you might lose your life.
Tyr was at his wit's end dealing with Jiang Shuzhou, the sixth brother.
Fortunately, it is confirmed that Jiang Shuzhou and Xirek are still in a standoff, with both sides looking for an opportunity.
It seems unlikely that they will be able to return anytime soon.
"Once we get to that place, we'll be able to leave."
Skatsla had absolutely no interest in the life or death of this broken plane; after all, it wasn't His plane, so let it be.
But what He cared about most was the Book of Destiny, and it was because of this book that He came to this place.
Of course, this book is also what many people aspire to read.
After all, who wouldn't want to possess a divine book that can control their destiny?
Peeking into one's destiny is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of, but now, with just one book, it's all possible.
All that's needed is a game played with lives as the stakes.
You have a book, and I have a life—how perfectly matched!
The same is true for Skácsla.
However, He did this so that the Book of Destiny would not fall into the hands of others.
Who knows what that guy who got the Book of Destiny will do?
What if another big project comes up? Wouldn't that be the end of it?
With a rumble, the colossal beast, as large as a mountain, turned as if it had spotted its prey and began to approach Tyr and his group.
Its enormous body shook the earth with every step it took, as if it were the end of the world.
"Are they coming for us?"
The men's expressions changed drastically, and they could only flee in panic.
Tyr could handle anything else, but this was something he truly couldn't handle.
So, it's time for a strategic shift.
