Chapter 2 Snow Night Visitors(1/2)
With hope, I quickly pulled out the book and opened the first page impatiently with the name "Ronin Austin".
(February 1, light snow, Friday)
(The weather is quite bad. Hongjae Town ushered in the first snow of the year. The children's teaching work is quite smooth. However, someone in the town is sick today. Fortunately, he caught a simple cold. I held a simple cure ceremony for him and used some medicine by the way. It should be fine tomorrow."
It turns out that this place is called Hongya Town. According to the content, this guy is a local teacher and also works part-time to treat people's illnesses. He should be a witch doctor.
"Mens treatment for serious illness?"
Li Tong remembered the lines of a character in a certain game, smiled knowingly, and continued to check it out.
(February 14, cloudy weather, Friday)
(Damn the weather, my joints hurt a little, but I can bear it. Lentzade told me today that he had a strange dream last night and saw some terrible things. He became restless and his memory was a little declining. He always suddenly forgot something, such as when he came here today, he forgot to wear glasses. He used to have a good memory, but it wasn't like that, maybe it was because of age. I hope the weather will be better tomorrow...)
It seemed that this guy was very bad, and the diary jumped directly to the 14th. The content of the diary was very boring. However, for the ritual that was missing in the magic ritual, he could only continue reading patiently. Li Tong stretched out his waist and continued to turn the pages.
(February 15, cloudy weather, Saturday)
(The bad weather continues, and Lensade comes again, and he finds a slate outside the town with some symbols on it, and we agree that some kind of power symbol, we will find a way to figure it out.)
(February 18, sunny weather, Tuesday)
(It's a big discovery. The content recorded on the stone slab is exciting. We spent three days unraveling the specific meaning of half of the above content. It does hide some mysterious power. Unfortunately, Lenzade's memory seems to be getting worse and worse. He occasionally says some strange words, which is puzzling... By the way, I also started to have some strange dreams. In the dream, I saw strange figures, and those blurry and strange figures seemed to want to communicate with me...)
(February 30, sunny weather, Thursday)
(Only a little left... As long as we untangle the remaining content, we can fully understand the source of the mysterious power and use it, maybe new achievements will be achieved. However, Lenzadeh suffered from a strange disease. He was not only forgetful, but sometimes he was like a different person, becoming irritable and said something strange. I suggested that he go to the doctor, but he insisted on clarifying the content of the stone slab, hoping that this day would be faster.)
(May 7, cloudy weather, Thursday)
(Damn, my hair is about to fall out, but the last secret of the slab is still not untied, and there are still many things to do. Some strange phenomena appeared on my arm, and so was Rensad. He became lethargic and I also started to have nightmares like him. Maybe all this has something to do with that slab. As a member of the Order Church, we decided to ask the headquarters for help and send the slab to the Order Church Headquarters to take a look.)
I got a new identity information, and this guy is a church member called "The Church of Order".
(September 30, sunny weather, Wednesday)
(The news of the Order Church Headquarters finally came back. The stone slab does have some mysterious power. At the same time, they sent the message that the content of the stone slab does contain some mysterious power. The mysterious power will awaken, and the failure of research will be cursed by the mysterious power. We have no way out. The disease phenomenon that appears on me and Lunsard is a sign of curse, which is the source of depravity.)
There were some water stains on the paper. Put your fingers in your mouth and wet them. Wipe the water stains on the paper and then put them in your mouth. It tasted a bit salty and obviously made of tears.
Continue reading.
(November 27, sunny weather, Friday)
(My condition is extremely bad, and so is Lenthade, but the research has not made any progress. However, I discovered a mysterious magical ritual that can allow us to leave here forever and avoid curses. The preliminary preparations have been done almost. I hope there is enough time...)
(Dec 22, Xiaoxue, Tuesday)
(It's frustrating that the magic ritual is missing a part of the information, but can't wait any longer, and can only take risks. I will start the ceremony later today, my friend Lensard, sorry, I don't want to abandon you, but the ceremony can only satisfy one person...)
The diary came to an abrupt end!
Looking at the blank page, Li Tong outlined some important information based on what he had just read.
Ronin Austin has brought some curses to himself because of his research on the power on a certain stone slab. Only by completely unraveling the contents on the slab and mastering mysterious power can he eliminate the curse. However, the curse spreads significantly faster than their research, so they can only find another way and try to use some magic ritual to leave the world and avoid the curse from completely devouring them.
However, his magic ritual was unexpected and he eventually brought Li Tong here.
In addition, you can also understand that this world also has year, month, day and time, which is no different from the real world. Today is December 22.
After confirming the prompts of traveling, close the diary you have finished reading and bet on the drawer on the left.
Locked by a rusty iron lock.
I looked down at the key chain hanging on my belt, and I had noticed it when I looked in the mirror before.
There are three keys in total. Just try to open the lock and pull it out.
A bag made of burlap was quietly lying in the drawer, and there were no other items.
Take out the bag and place it on the table to make a crisp sound. It's metal.
Unlock the rope from the mouth of the bag, and round and long strips of metal come into view.
currency!
A normal person can tell at a glance.
Take out the round currency and long currencies and put them in the palm of your hand. The round currency is silver-white, obviously silver-like, with a scale engraved on it. The long currency is golden and gold, with a scale engraved on it.
Count the quantity and put it back in your pocket and lock it back into the drawer.
Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, closed the book and sat in a bitter face. Judging from the diary information, there was no information about the page that the magic ceremony lost.
"Who can withstand this?"
Sitting on the chair, he was helpless and his eyes fell on the mirror placed on the desktop.
Brown hair, fair skin, stroked his cheeks with his hands.
"Is this what I look like after traveling through time? I'm still handsome."
I admired it narcissistically for a while, and my eyes turned to the window covered by the curtains, and I was a little stunned.
"I haven't seen the full picture of Red Crow Town when I first arrived."
Thinking of this, I stood up and leaned forward, uncovered a corner of the curtain, and faint candlelight penetrated through the glass window, and I could vaguely see the white snowflakes falling outside the window, and the street scene was blurred.
"It's snowing..."
Gently lift the curtain more, put your head up, and put your eyes on the glass, making your vision much clearer.
Under the candlelight, there was a vast white area in front of the window, with heavy snow flying, and no figures were seen.
Through the flying snow, you can vaguely see the outline of the building thirty meters away.
The buildings line up along the street, as low as hills, with occasionally thin and tall buildings with sharp and sharp ridges, like lightning rods.
“It should be Gothic architectural style…”
This architectural style is used a lot in Europe.
Li Tong talked to himself, and suddenly a black shadow quickly caught his eyes. The sudden situation made him shudder, his body leaned back, and he staggered and knocked down the chair behind him.
"Bang"
The falling chair made a crisp sound.
Li Tong looked quite embarrassed, with a pale complexion and a trembling lips.
A moment later, the curtain had been closed again and made a slight knock.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
Next is the vocals.
"Is anyone here?"
There is someone outside the window!
I have not been exposed to other lives when I came to this world. It is obviously not good to pretend that no one is there. The candlelight shot from the window just now and the sound of knocking down the chair in fear betrayed me.
But if you open the door rashly, who knows whether the people outside are in danger at this time is in danger and falls into a dilemma for a moment.
A clear sound of footsteps was heard outside the window, gradually moving away, as if away from it.
Finally, there was no need to make things difficult for whether to open the door. Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly there was another thud of knocking on the door and another vocal.
"Austin, please open the door if you're here."
It turned out that the other party moved to the door and called out his name. He should be an acquaintance, so there was no need to worry about safety issues. Li Tong took the lighting candle and slowly walked around the outer room. He accidentally kicked the crucible scattered on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Just in case, I found a pitch-black fire stick hidden behind my back in the corner of the wall. I swallowed and spitted at the door, and reached out to remove the wooden door bolt.
"Bang"
With a crisp sound, the door was knocked open, and someone rushed in immediately, fell and lay on the ground, feeling quite embarrassed.
Li Tong looked at the person lying in front of him and subconsciously retreated until his back was against the corner of the table of the external object. He calmed down and felt a little sad.
"Uh, sorry, are you okay?"
The visitor got up, and a thick layer of snow fell on the floor on his black cloak. He continued to pat the remaining snow on his body, stamped his feet, and let the snow fall on the boots made of leather, muttering.
"Damn snow, I almost lost my direction. Fortunately, I have a good sense of direction."
Then he rushed to the burning stove, lifted the black cloak from his head, exposed his face, and placed his hands on the burning stove.
"Don't stand there, if there is hot water."
Li Tong was observing the face of the visitor. His face was thin and old, covered with wrinkles, like an old tree bark, with a hunched back, about 1.6 meters tall, and he should be seventy years old.
After hearing the order, he hurriedly stood the fire stick hidden on the corner of the table. Such an old man should not pose a threat to his safety, and he still has this confidence.
He turned around and panicked to find the water cup and kettle, and then thought about the identity of the person who came.
"Is it the one mentioned in the diary? There is only one that can be thought of at present... No, according to the diary, Lenzade is very close to him and it is impossible to make this look."
Find the cups of water from the cabinets where the reagent bottles are placed, pour a cup of hot water and hand it over, and ask about the other party's identity.
"Who are you?"
The visitor looked back at the open door.
To be continued...
