"Is this the lost civilization?" Luo Luo stretched out her hand and curiously touched the wall beside her. The cold touch from her fingers made her fall into a trance for a moment. Everything that had happened since she came to this place was too real. Even though Luo Bu had told her that this was a place similar to a spiritual world, she still could not help but wonder if this ancient city had really awakened from its slumber.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor pointed at the brooch on his chest. "This place was created by its owner. I don't know how he did it, but a spiritual world of this scale and degree of restoration has completely exceeded human knowledge. You can even think of it as an existence between reality and fantasy. I've done some experiments before, and every 'person' in this city seems to have self-awareness and can accurately respond to changes in the environment. Simply put, in this world, they are normal 'people'."
"Wait, doesn't that mean they exist in a different form?" the girl asked in surprise.
Rob shook his head. "Impossible. Even the gods can't do this. No matter how powerful that guy is, there must be a limit. This place isn't perfect. It's just that we've just arrived in this world and haven't discovered it yet.
"What should we do next?"
"Wait."
"Wait?"
"Yes. There must be a reason why that guy created this world … This unknown civilization was once brilliant, but after it died, it lost all its words and records. Something is purposely covering its existence. That guy had no choice but to use this method. I can feel that he has no ill intentions. He just wants to tell us something through this method."
"If that's the case, why can't we use our magic here?"
"This should be an accident. There is no concept of magic in his civilization, so naturally, he couldn't have foreseen the laws of magic in this world."
"Oh, is there anything else that you want to tell me?"
"Not at the moment."
Lolo thought for a moment. "I'm hungry. Let's have breakfast first."
"Aren't you afraid?" Rob was slightly surprised.
"Why should I be?" The girl retorted.
"Although that guy has no ill intentions, it doesn't mean that this world is safe. When I was looking for you, I fought with those armored four-eyed 'people'. They should be the city guards, responsible for hunting suspicious people. Every one of them has the skills of a professional. That's how I got injured. Since we still don't know the laws of this world, it's best not to die easily. No one knows the consequences of dying here."
Lolo patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Rob was speechless. In a situation where magic could not be used, Lolo's close combat ability was indeed better than his. Moreover, she had not forgotten to practice her swordsmanship while she was studying magic. She had been improving rapidly and was about to reach the threshold of a third-level swordsman. On the other hand, Rob's swordsmanship was only so-so.
"Finally, it's my turn to protect you this time," the girl said with satisfaction.
There was less than half a magic hour before dawn. Although they could disguise themselves as the four-eyed 'people' with the Chest Needle, it was still easy for them to be exposed due to the language barrier. Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two decided not to wander around the city for the time being. They would find a place to hide and wait for the change to come.
At this time, the safest place in the city was the residential area.
The two picked a house that only one person lived in, snuck in, knocked out the sleeping owner, found a rope, and tied him up, throwing him into the storage room.
After everything was done, Lolo excitedly opened the door to the kitchen, but the scene in front of her almost made her throw up her dinner. She finally knew what the colorful bugs in the grocery store were for.
These things were actually the food of the four-eyed "people". In their eyes, these colorful bugs were probably like different kinds of vegetables.
This strange food was easy to cook and tasted delicious. As long as it was boiled in water, it could be eaten directly. The owner of this house had eaten three of these worms last night. The remaining three skins were thrown on the windowsill, and two cooked worms were placed on a plate. He was probably going to cook them for breakfast.
Lolo was looking forward to having a taste of the unknown civilization's breakfast, even if it was only in the spiritual world. But now, she had completely given up on that idea.
"The good news is that we still have our rations with us."
The girl threw the pots and pans in the kitchen aside and started cooking with a small pot in her backpack. But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Rob and Lolo looked at each other. The reason why they chose this place as a hiding place was that the owner of the house lived alone and did not have much social interaction. Even if they went missing for a day or two, it would not attract much attention.
But they did not expect to be so unlucky. After knocking the person unconscious for less than a spell, someone came to the door.
The two wanted to pretend that no one was home, but the person outside the door seemed to be quite persistent. He knocked for a quarter of an hour, and the sound became louder and louder. Even the nearby houses were startled.
Rob had no choice but to accept the clothes that Lolo threw at him. He used the secret brooch artifact to disguise himself as the owner and opened the door.
But the person outside the door did not say a word and raised his hand to slap him.
Fortunately, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor reacted quickly and dodged the slap. The person seemed to be a little surprised and was stunned. Perhaps he did not expect that his attack would fail. Then, the anger on his face intensified. He pointed at Rob and began to curse. Unfortunately, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor could not understand what he was cursing at. Rob quietly moved to the side and made way for the person to enter the house.
The person did not hold back. He walked into the house while cursing. Then, when the future Supreme Magus Your Honor closed the door, he fainted.
Lolo put down the wooden stick in her hand. "What's going on? Emotional crisis?"
Rob's expression was a little strange. "Not sure. Let's lock them together for now."
Judging from the size of the chest, the four-eyed "person" who came in should be a female. But what kind of relationship did she have with the guy inside and what kind of soul-stirring love story was going on?
