Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Just a Traveler(1/2)
The next day, the first ray of sunshine in the morning awakened Bai Bai from his deep sleep.
As a mobile phone addict, he habitually reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside as soon as he woke up, but his touch came up empty. When he realized what he was doing, he shook his head with a smile.
'It seems that it is really difficult to change the habits that have been formed for so long in modern times.'
He raised his hand and flipped it over, and the mobile phone in the storage space appeared out of thin air in his palm. He turned it on and looked at the little battery left. He felt that there was nothing to play with, so he threw it back into the storage space helplessly.
The girl who got up early was washing herself with water. She heard the sound of Bai Wan getting up and stepping out of the carriage, and followed the sound.
Looking through the rising morning light through the treetops of the mountain forest, he looked at the handsome face that was still a little sleepy. The pale golden sunlight fell on his flawless face, as if covered with a beautiful halo.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood just after waking up, there was a smile on the man's face. It was no longer the usual evil smile, nor was it the kind of cold smile...
It was a kind of happy smile from the heart that a girl had never seen before. Just like the most beautiful sunshine in the morning, it was soft, bright, energetic, and filled with warmth.
Such a beautiful and holy scene made Ariel lose her mind. She swallowed her saliva subconsciously, but she forgot that she was washing up just now, and she swallowed half of the mouthwash in her mouth.
The girl who choked on the mouthwash couldn't help but cough violently.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
pale:"?"
He frowned slightly and stared at Ariel, who was blushing and thick-necked due to coughing, with doubtful eyes. His eyes were like looking at a complete fool.
"morning."
The girl who came over slowly lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered hello.
"morning……"
Wanwan just nodded and walked past her to the tent of Xiaobai, the black dragon. With his sensitive hearing, he could hear Xiaobai's snoring while he was still sleeping soundly before he entered, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"The earliest to sleep and the last to wake up. This is what pigs are like."
When Ariel heard the pale comment, she couldn't help laughing for a moment. Facing the pale slanted gaze, it was a bit hard to hold back her laughter.
After giving her a sideways glance, Bai Wan rolled his eyes and ignored her. He silently walked to the side, took out the toothpaste, toothbrush and the like and started washing them.
"Who! Who woke me up!"
Soon after, the few people who had finished washing started their journey again amidst Black Dragon Xiaobai’s dissatisfied shouts.
While driving the carriage, Xiaobai's dissatisfied mutterings could not be heard.
"It's too much...they poured water on me so early in the morning..."
"You still have breakfast, but you have to catch the train again. How can you be so oppressive..."
Ariel: "?" Did I hear wrongly?
"Shut up! Can't you just eat some solid food? Do you still want a big meal for breakfast?"
The white man in the carriage was annoyed by his continuous mutterings and shouted dissatisfiedly.
"All right……"
Black Dragon Xiaobai responded with some grievance. After saying that, he actually took out the dried meat he had prepared before from the storage space and bit into it bite by bite.
Naturally, there was some resentment for a certain dragon whose appetite had been eaten up by the pale, who was used to eating delicious big fish and big meat and then had to eat hard dried meat.
"I just know how to eat..."
Wanwan shook his head and complained speechlessly.
After saying that, he turned back and looked at Ariel, who was dozing against the window on the other side of the car. He saw that her eyes were dim and her eyes were baggy, and it was obvious that she had not slept well last night.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Wanwan asked casually. This is not surprising. Whether it is the effect of being restless last night or the discomfort of spending the night in the wild for the first time, insomnia is normal.
The girl, who seemed to be in a slumber, nodded and did not respond.
"Then let's catch up on some sleep now."
He saw this and did not disturb him. After the words fell, Bai Bai raised his fingers, and saw the cyan wind elements quickly gathering towards his fingertips. Soon a small group of cyan airflow was formed.
Following the control of the pale thoughts, the cyan airflow expanded to cover the entire carriage. The cyan light on the carriage disappeared in a flash, and the bumpy journey became much smoother.
This is the primary wind magic: "Light Spirit Technique"!
Sensing the elemental fluctuations and changes in the carriage, Ariel's closed eyes moved slightly. However, they still did not open them. Only a faint voice broke the silence in the carriage.
"Wanwan, who are you?"
In fact, her mind was in a mess last night. She thought deeply all night and didn't sleep much at all. She meditated for a while before dawn to regain her mental strength. She thought a lot, but in the end she discovered the biggest doubt.
That is, who is Wanwan?
According to the knowledge in her mind and the rumors she heard in the aristocratic circle, he was just a down-and-out aristocrat. Commonly known as the floor of the aristocratic circle, he was not only powerless but also living in embarrassment.
But Ariel knew the white man with her own eyes, but he was completely different from the rumors. First of all, in terms of personality, she had to admit that he was a bit evil and arrogant. But at the same time, he was also very frank and good at taking care of others... Generally speaking, people
not bad.
Furthermore, he is exactly the opposite of the rumored abjection. Not only is he not in embarrassment in life, he even lives a better life than most. In some places, he is even overly generous. Otherwise, why would he give away legendary magic books to others at will?
Not only does he dress inappropriately, he always says some weird things, he even carries a weird treasure he has never seen before (a mobile phone). In terms of magic, he has profound insights and novel theories, and he can also practice multiple mutually exclusive systems at the same time.
magic.
For the first time, Ariel felt that there could be so many mysteries and unknowns in a person. But it was the secrets hidden in this man that seemed to have a mysterious power that attracted her to understand and explore...
It's just that Huanwan didn't answer her question immediately. He opened the curtain of the car window and looked calmly at the lush woods outside. That touch of natural green seemed to be reflected in his eyes.
"I am me, I am just pale, just a traveler who likes to see the scenery."
He didn't even turn his head, and his answer seemed extremely perfunctory.
Ariel was silent for a moment, thinking that the other party didn't want to say anything, but the vigilance and curiosity in her heart still drove her to ask.
"You should understand what I mean. From the rumors I know, you should be just a wandering nobleman who is down and out, but the you I saw are completely different from that."
"Oh? Really? Tell me what you saw and you asked me?"
Instead, Wanwan said with great interest, as if he was very interested in hearing what others thought of him.
"..."
The girl was silent for a moment, so Xuan almost forgot what to say. Out of noble restraint, she finally politely ignored those bad comments.
"Based on my interactions with you so far, you are weird, mysterious, and casual... and your life doesn't seem to be as embarrassing as the rumors say. I believe that the person who can invest in a legendary magic book will not be just because of
A person who wanders without money.”
"That's quite interesting."
Baiwan chuckled lightly and finally turned his head, but his smile was a little playful.
"But none of what you said is useful. I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. I gave you the legendary magic book firstly because your talent is not bad, so I want to train you. Secondly, because I really want to study magic, and you are a
A good subject for research.”
As he said that, Wanwan saw the puzzled expression on her face, so he continued to explain.
"You may have misunderstood from beginning to end. I am pale first, a traveler, and then I am the so-called viscount in your understanding. That is just an identity I need. As for the rumors you know, because
I wanted it to be that way, so that’s how it was.”
This is a very mysterious thing to say, but it’s just Bai Bai’s own fabricated timeline and his own identity.
Ariel's beautiful blue eyes opened slightly, looking at the man in front of her, as if she was shocked by his words.
According to her understanding, the so-called "wandering noble" is an identity disguised by the other party? How this can be achieved is difficult for her to understand, but she can also see that Huan is not lying. Maybe there is no need to lie to her.
.
"So who are you?"
"Didn't I say it? I'm just a somewhat special traveler."
He spread his hands palely and helplessly. Travelers from another world are indeed special, right?
"Girl, I find that it is too easy for you to believe in so-called rumors and knowledge. It should be noted that what you hear is false, and sometimes even what you see may not be true. If you really want to understand a person or a thing, you have to do it yourself.
To explore, to understand.”
Ariel was slightly silent. She didn't know why when she heard his words, she couldn't help but think of Harold, whom she liked and admired. In modern terms, how do I feel that you are caring about him?
"If that's the case, then why are you explaining this to me?"
"Because I still need you to teach me magic and cook for me in the future, so naturally I need to win over your heart."
He said indifferently, but she slightly twitched her lips. She had nothing to say about this confession, but she really didn't have any bad feelings.
"All right."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you something."
As he spoke, Bai Bai seemed to be thinking of something. He raised his hand and pointed at the storage ring on the girl's hand, reminding her.
"Look, is there something missing from your ring?"
Hearing this, the girl touched the storage ring on her left hand in confusion, and then let out a soft sigh. Looking at the delicate storage ring, she found that a small piece of ruby originally used for decoration on the exquisite storage ring had disappeared at some point.
