As soon as they returned to the manor on the outskirts of the royal city, Becky threw herself on the sofa in the living room ungracefully. After arching herself twice, she began to order the servants to prepare food and hot water. She was as decadent as Rollie who had smelled catnip. Hao Ren found Becky's behavior particularly familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was also like this when he came home.
Becky nudged Lily for a long time. Then, she sat up and said, "Hey, do you guys think His Majesty really doesn't care about this matter?" "That's right. What do you guys think?"
Lily's ears flickered. "Of course, Mr. Landlord has stood up to speak. What's the use of the king?"
Hao Ren liked Lily's self-righteous and self-assured way of bragging.
Of course, from a certain point of view, her bragging was not unreasonable.
But Vivian answered Becky's question very seriously. "Of course, the king will continue to pay attention to the sudden emergence of the 'ancient mage emperor', even if it is just a replica. But in the case of the 'outlanders', his actions will stop at paying attention."
"Aha … That's why I don't like to get involved in this kind of thing. Things that can be explained in a few words have to be so roundabout," Becky said, waving her arms vigorously. "By the way, are you done here?"
Hao Ren nodded.
He did not intend to stay in Holletta for so long. His purpose was to contact the 'homecoming group'. The original plan was to communicate with Marshal Ophra. But the incident in the Gloom Mountains was an unexpected variable, which delayed him here for two more days. Now it seemed that the two days of delay were quite valuable. He actually dug out a mage emperor from the ravine — although it was a replica.
While thinking, Hao Ren looked in the direction of Lorissa. The mage emperor was now sitting upright on a chair not far away, looking at the furnishings in the room with interest. For her, the world of 10,000 years later was full of unknown and novelty. Although all aspects were incredibly backward, it was a new environment worth exploring.
Hao Ren's gaze did not escape Lorissa's intuition. Her long pointed ears turned sharply, and then she turned her head. "Hmm?"
"Do you have a plan of action now?" asked Hao Ren.
"You need my help?" Lorissa asked keenly.
It was convenient to talk to smart people.
"Yes, I need a little help," said Hao Ren with a smile. "I wonder if you are interested in doing a little check with us?"
"Check?" Lorissa's perpetually indifferent expression finally changed a little. Her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. "Why do I feel a chill for no reason?"
"Err, ahem, it's not the same as the inhumane projects you were involved in back then," Hao Ren quickly explained. He thought to himself that Vivian was unusually sensitive when it came to this topic. After all, she had been tortured by a bunch of experiments. It would be strange if she was not sensitive to this matter. "Well, we are investigating some of the deeper problems of the 'divine power' in the demon hunters. I was going to ask the ancient species of this planet for help, which is the Ophra you met before. But now I suddenly feel that … you are the perfect specimen."
Lorissa's eyebrows twitched even more when she heard the word 'perfect sample'. "Why am I getting more and more worried?"
"Don't worry. Our unit is different from those undocumented mage emperors. We pay attention to scientific methods. It's a check, but in fact, it's a very safe project," Hao Ren quickly explained when he saw Lorissa's reaction. Even he himself felt that it was a waste of his talent not to be involved in MLM. "We probably only need a little blood sample from you. Then record your soul reading when you use your divine power. It's painless and has no side effects. "
Lorissa was a little confused by Hao Ren's series of strange words, but she still asked, "Are you sure I am such a 'perfect sample'? You know, I am not an 'ancient' in the real sense, but just a product of the project process. The perfect creatures you mentioned were completed after the experimental base in the Gloom Mountains was blocked. There is a great difference between me and those 'finished products.' "
"But it is because you are a 'semi-finished product' that you are more in line," Hao Ren said straightforwardly. "Because the most critical step in the conversion between human and divine power is in you, that is, the divine cells. The complete body of a 'perfect creature' has completed the fusion of divine cells and mortal cells, and there is no trace of this key point left in their bodies. But you are different … You are an intermediate product of the transformation from an ordinary person to a 'perfect creature', and you still maintain this intermediate state until now … I think there is no 'sample' more in line with the requirements than you. "
Lorissa stared at Hao Ren for a while and suddenly could not help but laugh. "Oh, I have never seen someone like you who is so straightforward to discuss this topic with the person involved. Don't forget that I am a victim of a biochemical experiment, and in my timeline, I was just a victim a few days ago."
Hao Ren smacked his lips. "Because I am not used to swindling and dragging people into the ditch. It is better to make it clear from the beginning. So, you are not willing to cooperate? It doesn't matter. We can find someone else to complete the relevant examination, but it will probably take more time and collect more samples. "
"I didn't say that I am not willing," Lorissa blinked. "I just have to be vigilant. After all, to me, all of you are not familiar enough and not reliable enough. It would not be an exaggeration to say that all of you are strangers. In such a situation, do you think it's normal for me to follow a bunch of strangers to participate in some 'inspection' as soon as I wake up? But in fact, I have no choice because I can't beat you. "
Hao Ren suddenly became embarrassed. "Err, ahem, we did have a little misunderstanding at first, but you were the one who started it."
"I did not say that. Well, it is also the truth," Lorissa tapped her eyebrows with her index finger and said helplessly. "In short, I don't think I can refuse your proposal. It just so happens that I am also very interested in the 'other world' you mentioned. If there is a chance to see the scenery over there, maybe it will be a very meaningful experience. "
"You can see the scenery, but to be honest, you probably can't 'sightsee' there for too long," Hao Ren shrugged. "The Wall of Reality is still fragile. People like you, who have a direct connection with the incident 10,000 years ago, can't cross the line at will. So you can probably only stay there for about ten days."
"It doesn't matter," Lorissa changed to a more relaxed posture. "Anyway, my kingdom is gone. Why should I care about it?"
She had accidentally entered the elven queen mode again.
"Well, that's settled then." Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded. "You can settle down here with Becky for a few days. I will go back and arrange for the 100 'travelers'. When they return to Earth, I will bring you along."
Lorissa smiled gracefully. "As you wish."
She then looked at Becky. "Sorry to disturb you while I stay here."
"Ah, it's okay." Becky waved her hand. "Anyway, most of my big house is usually empty. I was worried that the house was too quiet. The maids have nothing to do all day, so they would gather together and whisper stories about haunted houses in the middle of the night. This time, with more people living in the house, they should feel at ease."
Hao Ren thought for a moment. How could anyone feel at ease when there was suddenly a 'mage emperor' from 10,000 years ago living in the house?
Three days later, on Earth.
The list of people preparing to go to the Plane of Dreams to visit their families had been finalized. Now, it was the appointed departure day.
There was no need to gather in a place, and there was no need to worry about missing the opportunity to depart. Those who were qualified to join the group had received a message early, asking them to wait at the appointed time. Everyone on the list had made preparations in advance. They were either looking forward to it, nervous, or doubtful as they waited for the appointed time to arrive.
They had all received the notice from Hao Ren and heard the explanation about the journey. But in any case, they could not imagine what it would be like to travel across the world. Perhaps only when they stepped into the Plane of Dreams could they truly understand how vast the real world was beyond their own worldview.
Among the 100 people, probably only one demon hunter girl named White Flame could understand the concept of 'traveling across the world.' It was not because the girl was talented, but because she usually hung out with Qidian.
In the Arctic Iceberg Fortress, White Flame and Hasse were waiting in front of the Frost Sanctum. Beside them were the other selected demon hunters. Behind them, more demon hunters who had come to see them off looked at the small open space in front of them with curiosity and anticipation.
In the Athens' sanctuary, the Shadow Council hall. The round table in the hall had been removed, leaving a circular open space. A circle of candles was lit on the edge of the open space. The light and shadow were like some kind of secret ceremony. Hessiana, Zeon Lucas, Hesperides, and other unusual creature leaders stood in the center of the open space, waiting for the time to come. Hessiana's bright eyes looked around as if she was curious about where the 'gate' that Hao Ren mentioned would open.
In the secret realm of the Ebben werewolf family, Casar Ebben and Ewen Ebben also stood in the open space in front of the castle under the watchful eyes of several elders. The two werewolf brothers looked at each other with a smile on their faces. "I didn't expect that we would be invited." "Haha, I wonder how many acquaintances we will see …"
In the secret realms and sanctuaries, the ancient otherworldlings who had been secretly invited were ready. Some of them were full of anticipation, but some still had doubts. But no matter what they thought, the time had finally come.
Light doors opened in front of them.
