Chapter 1: One-stop start(1/2)
Prologue:
When night falls, the entire sky is stained black.
But under the night sky, darkness cannot swallow up all the neon lights of the city; the city is still brightly lit at night, and the extravagant nightlife is equally lively and charming...
"Maybe for modern people, darkness is not something that is difficult to conquer, right?"
In the dark and deserted room, the man sighed in front of the window.
Facing the cool evening breeze, he was stunned. The neon lights outside the window were like stars in the night sky, reflecting in the man's dark and deep eyes. At this moment, the man's eyes were like the boundless starry sky, and it seemed that the entire city was contained in them.
After a long time, the man came back to his senses and drank the last sip of water in the cup. As if he remembered something happy, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Is the long wait of endless years finally coming?"
The mysterious whisper dissipated with the night wind.
The man refilled a glass of water, put on the black thin-rimmed glasses on the table, and sat back in front of the computer. Soon, the originally dark room was also lit up with soft white light, blending into this place without distinction.
Among the thousands of lights in the city.
…
Human Calendar: 1647, the Moon of Fire.
Above the clear blue sky, a pure white meteor burning with flames suddenly appeared, piercing the sky and falling to the earth.
"The stars are falling? Does this indicate that the destined future is about to change?"
The mage's holy land - the nine-story tower. A white-bearded old man wearing a white mage's robe and holding a parchment scroll stood on the top of the tower, looking up at the pure white meteor falling from the sky.
Mages from all over the world who witnessed this scene began to divine this meteor one after another, trying to find out the origin and prediction of this meteor by peering into the river of destiny.
The old man in white robe on the top of the tower was no exception. He was about to use the prophecy technique to divine one or two. But the next moment, his face suddenly stiffened, and then he silently dispersed the technique and stood with his hands behind his back.
Be inscrutable.
'It's so dangerous...I'm almost like them.'
Because at that moment, under the mental perception of the white-robed old man, all the mages in the nine-story tower who had divined the meteor vomited blood and fell into coma. Now they are all unconscious and sent to the ICU for rescue.
"The day when pure white fell, it will be listed as one of the highest taboos in the fate system from now on!"
The unprecedented backlash of collective divination caused an uproar in the entire mage world. Since then, everything about this meteor has become another taboo matter recognized by the divination mages.
…
The pure white meteor that shocked the entire mage world finally fell to the earth. But what is shocking is that what appeared on the ground was not some extraterrestrial meteorite, but an extremely strange man?
What's strange? The painting style is very strange: a white shirt on the upper body and black trousers on the lower body. A standard modern dress, but it seems particularly abrupt in this world.
At the same time, what he said was also very strange: the language barrier was only one aspect, and the other was...
"Fortunately, the clothes I bought for more than two hundred yuan are fine..."
"Why doesn't something seem right here?"
The man looked around, but he was in the crater he had smashed, and all he saw were rocks except soil.
"This doesn't seem to be the world of Casa?"
As he spoke, the man took off his black thin-framed glasses, and wisps of pure white light covered his original black pupils. Countless timelines intertwined in front of his eyes, and the fate of the world appeared in his eyes...
"Damn it, you went to the wrong place."
The man who had just come to the conclusion had a headache and slapped his forehead. He was about to check again to confirm, but found that it was suddenly dark around him?
"..."
What's going on? He looked up in confusion. What he saw was a huge monster appearing in the sky above his head.
The monster had a pair of huge wings that were shaped like a bat. When the wings were spread out, they could cover the sky and the sun. Obviously, the man suddenly felt that it was dark because the wings were spread out and blocked the sunlight in the area.
The huge body like a hill is covered with dark and cold scales. The neck is as long as a snake, connected to the ferocious dragon head, and the two sharp horns on it are like sharp swords, rising straight into the sky.
There is no doubt that this is a legendary Western dragon. But the question is, now this dragon seems to be eyeing this man?
Maybe it was greed for the treasures carried by the meteor, or maybe it was curiosity about this strange man. Anyway, the dragon had no intention of attacking him for the time being, but fell steadily to the side.
"Insignificant human being, where did you come from?"
As the smoke and dust falling to the ground dispersed, the thunderous dragon language resounded throughout the world.
The wings of the giant dragon that had just covered the sky and the sun have been retracted, but the body in front of you is still as huge as a mountain peak. The slender neck is slightly arched, and he proudly raises the ferocious and huge dragon head, with golden vertical pupils exuding
Gu Ao looked down at the man in front of him with dignity.
I have to say that this opening is very handsome, and the opening remarks are also very powerful, but this man's performance somewhat ruins the atmosphere. He is raising his hands to cover his mouth and nose to prevent inhalation of smoke and dust, staring at the giant thing that is gradually becoming clear in front of him, his expression
Seems a little sluggish.
Obviously, this dragon has forgotten that there is a situation called language barrier. The question he just asked in dragon language sounded like a meaningless roar to the man's ears, and he had no idea what it meant.
The person and the dragon stared with big eyes and didn't move for a while. The scene seemed a bit awkward.
Soon, the dragon realized that what he was speaking was dragon language, which most humans seemed to be unable to understand. So a certain dragon who considered himself great had the rare patience to ask again in common language.
"Insignificant human being, where do you come from?"
"..."
But this was because he was overthinking it. Even the lingua franca of this world was the equivalent of a foreign language to this strange man.
Fortunately, the man who heard this immediately understood that the giant creature in front of him was communicating with him.
After reacting, the man put on his glasses again and lowered his head slightly to hide the white light flowing in his eyes. At this moment, countless strange words and mysterious symbols passed through the man's eyes like a stream of data.
He quickly raised his head, coughed twice, and when he spoke again, he spoke fluently and purely in the common language of other worlds.
"Hey, hey, do you understand?"
"..."
"Despicable human being, are you kidding me?"
The giant dragon lowered its head slightly, opened its huge mouth to reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth, and said in a bad tone.
"No way, as long as you understand it. It seems that my ability that I haven't used for a long time is not wrong."
Unfortunately, the man turned a blind eye to the threat of the dragon. He touched his throat, as if he was adapting to the slight discomfort caused by the pronunciation of this new language.
However, he did not let the dragon deliberately provoke him. After clearing his throat, he answered honestly.
"Strictly speaking, I should have come from heaven."
"Heaven..."
The giant dragon raised its paw and scratched its chin in a humane manner, as if it was carefully trying to figure out the meaning of these two words.
'The crater here should be where the white meteor fell. But there is nothing here except this man. Could it be...'
"Are you the shooting star?"
The dragon's expression could not be seen on the ferocious dragon head, but his voiceless tone still revealed the surprise and disbelief in his heart.
"Meteor? That should be me, right?"
The man nodded. When he fell, he had frozen himself in order not to be destroyed. However, the flames and light caused by friction and heat were still there, and it was possible that he was regarded as a meteor.
He is not a giant dragon that exists in the world of human mages, and of course he does not know about the "Pure White Meteor Taboo" that was just announced. However, as an intelligent life, he also understands how powerful it is for a person to turn into a meteor and fall from the sky.
'Is it possible that this person is a physically powerful legendary warrior?'
"..."
The man looked at the dragon who was suddenly afraid and alert and was leaning back, trying to distance himself. He was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
'No, even his clothes are intact. Even a legendary warrior can't do that...'
Notice! The giant dragon reacted. This human said that he came from the sky. Maybe he was lying to him? Maybe the treasure brought by the meteor was caught first by this person...
The dragon felt that he had understood the truth, and his confidence returned instantly.
"You are lying to me! How dare you lie to the great Scourge of Death - Elliot."
He was cautiously backing away, trying to distance himself. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, he... still didn't move where he was.
To be honest, as a black dragon known for its cruel nature, this giant dragon named Elliot seems to be a little too cautious? Shouldn't normal dragons treat humans with disdain and slap them to death?
"Why did I lie to you? I really fell from the sky."
He explained a little feebly, and the man looked around, with no intention of getting entangled with the giant dragon.
"By the way, where is this place?"
"This is the Forest of Death, the territory of my Scourge of Death, Elliot. Human, I can be merciful and forgive you for trespassing on my territory. But you have to hand over the treasures obtained from the crater. This is my
In my territory, everything should belong to me!"
Although this black dragon named Elliot is not as cruel as other black dragons, he still has the unique arrogance of the dragon clan. The tone of his words was as if he was giving alms, and he didn't deserve a beating.
"I told you that I am the shooting star, why don't you believe me?"
The man was not dissatisfied with his tone, but the distrust of this alien dragon made him feel a little tired.
To be continued...
