Mysterious journey

Kuwaitan royal capital

Surrounded by mountains, the peak of the royal capital is covered with mushroom-like towns and villages.

These villages are centered on the royal capital, with farms and windmills built everywhere. The original royal capital was no longer just a small area, but a huge city that was more than ten times larger than before.

Garen stood far away on the white road, looking at this huge city that was once shrouded in absolute shelter, with an unusually calm expression.

The absolute protection above the head has completely disappeared, and there is no trace of the totem power in the entire air.

He walked along the driveway and hardly saw anyone with totem power among the people he met.

There was faint music from the radio in a tire repair shop on the roadside not far away, and a little boy was humming to himself while sorting out the things in the shop.

Two oxcarts with some unsold fruits came up from the front. There is a wooden sign erected next to it, with a directional sign on it. The wooden sign pointing to the front has the words "square stone road" written on it.

He didn't mean to make any announcements. He came all the way and found out the current situation of the world. After Garen knew, his face, which had not aged for decades, represented what great significance during this period of time.

He walked forward slowly, his pace seemed slow, but in fact it was far faster than an average person's walking speed.

After passing through several small towns and villages outside the city, the sky was gradually turning dark. The mountain road surrounding the once heavily guarded entrance to the royal capital was not far ahead.

There is no one stationed in the garrison tower. Now is the peaceful era. The arrow tower is no longer a threat in the era of rampant cannons. A sign refusing to visit is hung on the door.

After finding a carriage that went up the mountain, Garen was kindly taken by a talkative old coachman to go up the mountain. It was like a ride. The two of them asked and chatted while walking.

The old man had also experienced the war years, and he had no doubts about the totem masters. During the conversation, he kept lamenting how the young people today did not believe in the original changes, how they did not respect the historical facts, and how they wanted to absolutely protect and cover the royal capital back then. I don’t know how many elderly people have seen it with their own eyes.

Now that many old people have passed away and the power of totems has declined, young people in the new era have begun to doubt the legend and power of totem masters, but they do not believe that they can compare with the current cannons. They think that everything is just for their generation. It slowly became awe and deification in my mind.

Garen nodded in agreement from time to time, and he also knew a lot about the current situation in the royal capital.

After learning that Kurosawa Palace has now turned into a comprehensive university, and that the talented disciple he recognized at the beginning has become one of the two most accomplished students in Kurosawa Palace, and is also in power in Kuwaitan, it is A man of great importance throughout the country.

Garen had an unconscious emotion in his heart. Time flies by, and he never expected that the little guy back then would now become a pillar-like big shot.

When it was almost completely dark, Garen got off the bus at the gate of the royal city on the top of the mountain. The gate had no guards for a long time, and there were many vehicles going in and out. Many people went up the mountain to have fun at night, and those who left the city at night returned to their own manors and small homes, flowing like a stream. Constantly flowing through the city gate.

Houses within the Royal Capital are too expensive, and many people who cannot afford to live there have to settle in the periphery. Over time, large areas of various residential areas have emerged outside the Royal Capital and on the mountainside, and the entire Royal Capital has become a veritable city within a city.

Galen walked towards his cousin Hathaway's small building with ease.

Road connections from decades ago have seen many new buildings built in many places, and many places have been modified.

He still asked a lot of questions before he finally found the small building where Hathaway was located.

At night, standing outside the small building, Gallon looked up at the little yellow lights on the second floor of the small building. Without the power of totems in this world, the originally sluggish technological path suddenly flourished.

With the background of Totem Workshop Master's research, the development of science and technology far exceeded people's imagination, and the emergence of electricity also came into being.

This was originally an unstable energy source discovered by the totem master in accidental experiments. After the power of the totem disappeared, it finally quickly replaced the original totem application status.

Those workshop masters are also called scientists by modern people.

The electric light is a new product invented by these scientists.

Garen glanced at a sentry box on duty outside the small building. There was also a dozing guard inside.

Silently, he flew past the sentry box, jumped up and landed in the courtyard behind the iron gate.

Walking to the door of the small building, he lightly shook the door with his palm, and there was a crisp click, and the door was gently opened.

On the sofa in the living room, a white-haired old man with a white towel on his knees caught his eye.

Perhaps the sound of the door opening attracted the old man's attention. She put down the book in her hand and raised her head to look over here.

After looking at it, he never lowered his head again.

Garen stared blankly at the old man on the sofa. More than fifty years have left a deep mark on this once heroic and beautiful cousin. Her originally smooth and fair skin had turned into wrinkled, sagging skin. The originally bright and clear beautiful eyes have turned into the somewhat cloudy and peaceful eyes of an old man.

With snow-white hair, Garen could only vaguely see the inexplicable image of his former cousin in his overall inexplicable temperament.

"Are you his grandson?" Hathaway's voice was hoarse.

Garen shook his head and looked at the once beautiful and heroic cousin of the family in front of him with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"it's me."

he whispered.

"I'm back."

Hathaway's old eyes trembled fiercely. This familiar way of speaking, this familiar tone and expression, time seemed to flash back to more than fifty years ago, when that handsome and powerful young man seemed to have just been out on business for a few days, and when he came home he said plainly, "I came back.

Hathaway's eyes were moist. She had been waiting for more than fifty years. But now, time has passed and she has become like this, but Galen is still the same as before.

"Stop lying to me. Did Danni ask you to join forces to lie to me? Did she give you the key?" She suddenly thought of something again, then shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Is Dani okay?"

Hathaway suddenly fell silent.

She suddenly realized that she no longer knew how to face Garen. After waiting for decades, what can be the result of the current situation? Today, without the power of totems, people in their seventies are actually close to the limit of the current average life span.

She was already about to die, and Gallon Hathaway laughed at herself. She did not believe that the young man in front of her was the Gallon back then.

"When did he leave?" she asked suddenly.

Gallon was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Hathaway thought he was dead, and before he died, he asked his 'grandson' to come over and find his former friend.

After all, she still didn't believe that Garen was still so young back then.

Suddenly, Garen felt a faint loneliness welling up from the deepest part of his heart.

He looked at the old man on the sofa, walked forward, knelt down gently and kissed the back of her hand.

“Don’t wait any longer”

After saying that, Garen stood up, turned around and left the room silently.

Hathaway didn't say another word behind her.

Maybe neither of them knew how to face each other again.

Over the years, Hathaway has truly become the mistress of Blackpool Palace of the Terry Jones family. She adopted a grandson of her sister Dani and became the next generation heir to the palace master of Blackpool Palace.

This little grandson is extremely outstanding and has the full support of the current military chief.

And now, even if Garen comes back, what's the point? Apart from disturbing everyone's peaceful life, there is no longer a place for him here.

Everyone, including Effie, Kongqin, Tiannu, etc., everyone thought that Garen was dead.

Died in the abyss of the deep ocean that is forever frozen.

The royal capital even erected a monument to him as a great man, and every year dignitaries and nobles came to pay their respects.

As for showing up again and taking charge of Kurosawa Palace again? What's the point?

When Garon founded this organization, apart from establishing ears and eyes, his deepest thought was just to leave traces of the Baiyun Sect in the world. Unfortunately, he died in the secret martial arts world, so he could only leave the legacy of his teacher Fei Baiyun in this world.

There are traces of the Giant Elephant Secret Martial Arts everywhere in the Black Water True Skill, which is actually equivalent to the totem version of the White Cloud Secret Martial Arts. That's enough.

Quietly leaving the small building, Garen slowly walked on the brightly lit streets of the royal capital. On both sides were night stalls and night markets, snacks, clothing decorations, small gifts, balloon shooting games, street gambling, and all kinds of other things. Watching the night market activities, Garen felt as if he had returned to Earth.

Unknowingly, he walked to the employment guild by himself.

The original employment guild now only has one real bar left, and the customers coming in and out are fat and fat businessmen with big bellies and all kinds of slender waitresses. Or boys and girls dressed in trendy fashion.

Loud music floated out from the bar, and even standing outside the door, you could feel the rhythmic drum beats inside.

Garen let go of his five senses and looked inside the bar.

There is no one with the power of totem inside, they are all just young people. Occasionally, I saw a few young officers wearing black military pistols on their waists, which was a very intimidating presence here.

As for the Totem Division mercenaries? And Angel, who Garen unconsciously came to look for, the friend who initially joined him in the yoke of war, had no breath at all. I don't know if he died or left.

Garen stood at the door of the bar for a while, staring blankly at the bar. It wasn't until several beautiful girls coming in and out came over to strike up a conversation that he slowly turned around and left.

"Fifty years later. Who is still alive?" he asked himself.

Who are the friends from back then who are still there?

He unconsciously walked in the direction of Kurosawa Palace. The street night market with people and cars coming and going made him feel a sense of loneliness unconsciously.
