Lost Narrative Poetry

It seemed like I had a long, long dream.

The ancient bells rang loudly, and the heat and cold could no longer be felt. It was as if the concept of temperature had disappeared. Endless pure white surrounded Xia Ran, taking him to an infinitely broad world that was completely different from the small him now. The world of relationships.

It felt like I was peeking into someone's dream.

In the sky, on the earth, and in the distant places of time, it seems that consciousness is floating freely in the universes without restraint.

Countless stars whizzed past at extremely fast speeds. They were completely incomprehensible and bizarre. His consciousness was not muddy, but he was only passively accepting it. His mind seemed to be frozen and unable to think...

He didn't know how long he had been wandering in this huge and infinite maze, or whether the concept of time still existed, but finally he felt the emergence of a repulsive force.

"I came from the end and have no nostalgia, I just stop here..."

It seemed to be a somewhat familiar yet very unfamiliar voice and a leisurely tone.

With this sentence——

Xia Ran's consciousness spread.

…

…

What the hell is this?

How could I have such a dream? Or is this a side effect and sequelae of excessive mental fatigue?

Xia Ran opened her eyes again and stared blankly at the pure white light ball suspended above, which was emitting a soft and pure light, illuminating this supposedly dead and dark personal space. It took a long time before she came back to her senses.

He suddenly found that he didn't know when he woke up. He was confused and had no exact idea in his mind. It seemed that he had just woken up now, and it seemed that he had been awake for a while, but just lost his mind. Didn't notice changes in the passage of time.

——So, could it be that it was not that I was dreaming just now, but that my state hit rock bottom, so when I came back, I couldn't concentrate, and I was distracted looking at the ball of light, and I was thinking and making up the fugue just now?

He felt that the truth should be like this, and then he subconsciously wanted to sit up from the ground. Then he realized that this simple movement was actually very difficult for him. Of course, it didn't mean that he was paralyzed or anything else.

Instead, he felt a strange feeling of soreness and weakness all over his body. He had not experienced this feeling for an unknown period of time. It was as if he had been stuffed into a drum washing machine. He could not even feel his own body.

Wait, what should I say at this time...

"Lord God, repair your whole body and deduct the points from me."

The moment he finished speaking, a white beam of light fell from the sky and enveloped his body accurately, making him levitate. He felt as comfortable as being soaked in the hot water of a hot spring. He was almost so comfortable that he couldn't help but fall asleep. past.

He did indeed do this. He closed his eyes with great peace of mind, and directly concentrated on his mind, carefully experiencing the repair of all aspects from body to soul, as if the cells that were dry and dehydrated were rapidly absorbing nutrients and becoming full. When full, this feeling is quite wonderful.

Especially the kind that goes from obvious weakness to recovery in a short period of time is a very obvious contrast. It is difficult for people who don't have a fever or cold to understand how relaxed the normal state is.

After a moment, the light beam disappeared. After recovering, he lay back on the ground again. He felt the cold touch of the superalloy ground and opened his eyes again.

A pretty face appeared in the field of vision, like a noble girl who came out of a European court. She was looking down at him from above, looking at him with surprise and joy: "Master, are you awake?"

"..."

"..."

"Wait, why is it you, Saber?"

Lying on the ground, Xia Ran was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something, and then couldn't help but frown and said this.

Saber was silent for a second: "What does this mean? Am I weird?"

Artoria felt a little bit in a strange mood. Was she disliked by her master just after she came back?

"It's indeed a bit strange..."

Xia Ran nodded, lowered his head and began to ponder. There seemed to be some doubtful points. If his imagination just now was because he was distracted, and the endless pure white world was an illusion when he was looking at the ball of light in a daze, then that sentence was Who said that?

He searched his memory carefully. He always felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but also more unfamiliar. He couldn't recall it anyway, and he couldn't find any suspicious items by matching and comparing it in the information library of his consciousness.

Artoria's expression darkened, and she suddenly became confused. Did she do something wrong?

There is no reason, I have always been very diligent, that is... even after Charlotte appeared, she relaxed a little, a little. After all, she really couldn't compete with the head maid who aimed at omnipotence, and she was also very worried. tired.

Well, this is a bad sign. Do you want to start practicing maid training again from today? !

Saber thought about this tangledly, and quickly came to a conclusion, preparing to implement remedial measures later.

Xia Ran stood up from the ground neatly, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and looked at the white clothes on his body. One sleeve was completely broken, so he spent some points to repair the space as before.

After all, it is a gift from his only disciple, although it is not of much use——

Although there are cloud patterns embroidered on it, it is just because the sewing and weaving methods are very careful, and the cloud patterns are carefully hidden, but they are definitely there, and there is strong magic in the flow. It can be regarded as a robe, with The effect of exorcising evil spirits.

However, for Xia Ran, the only thing precious was his heart, so he still wanted to take care of it as carefully as possible.

"No points or crystals have been deducted, well, except for the parts that were just repaired..." After checking his account, Xia Ran raised his eyebrows. Could it be that his plan to sneak away with the demon world stars failed?

However, when he inspected the closed space that he had isolated using his magic, he saw the star shining brightly in it.

The diameter is close to one hundred kilometers, the shape is irregular, and the composition, gravity coefficient, etc. are not clear.

After all, there is no need. Spell transformation can solve all problems. Moreover, the creatures that can live in it are all types that can directly absorb energy. They don't even need to drink water, let alone eat.

"It seems to have been successful. In this case, maybe it is because this process does not require the help of space, so there is no need to pay extra like bringing an Artoria out before?"

Xia Ran thought for a moment, then slammed his palm, feeling that he figured out the reason.

There are some things that he cannot actually bring back with his own abilities, like when he kidnapped Artoria. In fact, he relied on the connection with the heroic spirit contract, and then chose to keep the contract during the space test, and the space will be connected with it. The servants at the other end of the contract were fished out from the mission world.

So he naturally has to pay the handling fee. After all, he doesn't have the ability to rob people, so he can only intervene directly through space...

But now, he has used methods such as controlling the country and holding the world in his sleeves to arrest the entire demon world's stars. He also uses the scabbard of his sword and spells to precisely block the time and remove the fantasy world from the mission world at the last moment. Completely separated...

By analogy, this is like putting an item in the mission world into his own inventory and bringing it out directly. Since he has the ability to do it himself, there is no reason to charge a handling fee. .

So this time, the only role that space plays in this matter is to give accurate reminders of the residence time, and to bring the lost people back after the residence time is over.

"One, one..."

Saber felt as if she had heard some impolite quantifier, and looked at her Master with wide eyes.

But Xia Ran didn't pay attention. He just looked at the lone wooden door in the center of the square, and then looked at his stay time. There were still about ten hours left, which was really strange to say.

Obviously as he becomes stronger day by day, even the rest period has become a month, but the time he stays in the space is still the same every time, without any changes.

"Let's go out and take a look now..."

Xia Ran waved to the King of Knights and felt relieved, but he had no plans to deal with the problem of the Huan Meng Realm at this time. Firstly, it was not suitable to release the demon world stars at this time. Secondly, it was because of the accident that happened before. The incident also gave him a headache.

Anyway, let's postpone it for a while and think of a solution later. Anyway, as the saying goes, if a ship hits a bridge, it will sink naturally, and there will be no problem.

It is better to patrol the market as usual first, and see how his teammates are doing. Also, the two lost people before were forcibly captured by themselves, so they have to fulfill their promises.

Although there is no problem in turning against the person directly, but once there will be a second time, Xia Ran still doesn't want to let herself become that person.

Arturia puffed her face and followed her master.

He reached out to hold the door handle, but this time, Xia Ran did not open the door and walk out immediately. Instead, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After two seconds, he turned back and said: "I seem...there is no way to go anymore." The previous area.”

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's just that the level is too high, and there is no way to match the low-level area..." Xia Ranyan explained briefly and concisely. This was the reminder that just sounded in his mind, but this seemed to be normal.

Whenever he looked at the public area of ​​the space, he could only see the tip of the iceberg, far from being able to see the whole picture.

Just like playing a game online, players should be matched with people who are similar to their own rank. There may be national and foreign regions, and within the national region, it is also divided into one and two regions, or Different provinces and stuff like that.

This is a normal thing. The space is probably screened according to race, skin color, language, culture... and other conditions, so Xia Rancai has never encountered other races. This he has long ago Just discovered it.

The space he is in does not represent the entire white space, but is only a part of it. It may be one area among many collection areas.

And because his current abilities fully touch the demigod realm, he must be matched again? Although he is still among the lost class, maybe it is like the structure of a pyramid?

He suddenly became interested. Does this mean that what he is about to enter next should be a gathering area belonging to demigods?

Xia Ran really needs this opportunity at the moment. Only the existence of the same level or a higher level, the circle and market maintained by him can have the opportunity to meet his subsequent financial needs. Only relying on the circle and market of ordinary lost people can help him. The help has been minimal, or even nonexistent.

(PS: I finally boarded, but I was spinning around in circles for half a minute with no response. The same thing happened several times...what a broken network...)
