Li Xiang's wish to visit his friends in Crimson Moon City did not come true. He and Venus sat together on Ayres' shoulders as they headed towards the North Pole at high speed.
Ayres was like a terrifying giant creature. His running speed was no slower than the floating airship, and he was even more destructive and shocking. Along the way, neither the forest creatures nor the enemies who were eyeing him covetously dared to step forward and obstruct him.
He ran from the sea of trees to the plains, bypassing the main human cities, and sprinted across the plains.
Although Ayres' brain was not very good, his strength was impressive. He could maintain his giant form for a long time and still maintain high efficiency. If all humans had this kind of physical ability, then the various steam trains between cities would not need to be rebuilt.
"Where are we going?" Feeling the scenery around him, Li Xiang wrapped his clothes tightly. The air was getting colder and colder. Obviously, they were heading towards the extreme north. No matter where they were, the end of the road would be the Great Wall of Disaster. Once they left the Great Wall, they would be in the Disaster's territory.
"The extreme north. To be precise, it's your father's hometown." Venus opened her arms and felt the cold wind pouring into her body. She was in a good mood. "It's also our home."
"Isn't he from the Wessex family?" Li Xiang asked curiously. The Fool, his father, was called Lancelot Lee Wessex. Obviously, that was how he and Ye Tong got their surnames.
The last forbidden skill he learned was the [Magic-Enhanced Magazine] created by this man.
Fate was always so wonderful.
"Yes, and no." Venus seemed to like talking about The Fool. Only when he was mentioned would a faint girlish smile appear on her face. Most of the time, even when facing Li Xiang, she was always surrounded by a terrifying murderous intent. "He's the abandoned son of the Wessex family, the abandoned son."
"From your description, he's a rare master mechanic." Li Xiang smiled noncommittally. "And to be able to capture the heart of the evil leader, I don't think he's an abandoned son."
"But that's the truth. Your father and mother's generation was called the strongest generation after the first batch of players. Whether it was them or the current Five Kings, they all rose to power at that time. At that time, the Wessex family was filled with talents, and there was even a genius like Cielo Wessex. Compared to them, your father wasn't considered outstanding. "
Venus looked at the snow mountain in the distance, as if she was recalling some beautiful memories.
"He was sent to the extreme north by his family, which coincides with his mentality of doing research and not wanting to have anything to do with others. Brother Lancelot grew up in that manor and a bunch of people from Wessex were sent to the north with him. Although they have no hope of returning to the core of the family, they still serve this unlucky young master of the direct line of descent wholeheartedly. "
Li Xiang nodded in silence, as if he could see the scene where countless attendants and maids surrounded a taciturn young master in a warm manor full of green trees and red flowers in the snowstorm in the northernmost place.
He didn't like to talk and only liked to fiddle with mechanical devices. He had a wild imagination, but he did not have his brother's absolute Mechanical Sense talent and skills that were hailed as the best in history.
He did not feel indignant, nor did he feel that it was hard. On the contrary, he enjoyed the life of a carefree young master.
He was like that, and so were the people around him.
Day after day, year after year, Lancelot slowly grew up, from elementary school to middle school to high school, all in that small town in the north.
Perhaps it was because they felt guilty towards this young master of the direct line of descent, but the family never stopped providing resources, financial resources, and manpower. When he was eighteen years old, Lancelot had never thought of cultivating, but due to tradition, he still went through the magic circuit test.
It was also that year that the trajectory of his life began to change.
"No one would have thought that a young master of the direct line of descent who was abandoned by the main family would have such an amazing talent for magic cultivation! It was different from now. Grade S awakening with six magic circuits is very rare. And I've always suspected that Brother Lancelot's awakening level is even higher. It's just that we don't have a more advanced detection method. "
Venus curled her lips, as if she was talking about herself.
"God closed the door for you, but also opened a window." Li Xiang sighed. Compared to his father's hard times, his early days were the opposite. He was praised to the highest point, then plummeted, then slowly rose again.
"At first, we thought so too." Venus's expression was a little strange, and she said with a faint smile, "After high school, it was the most important university cultivation. At that time, the only way to become a player was to go through the Chronometer Tower Consortium's university. Perhaps the brother who took everything away from his younger brother felt guilty, so he suggested that his younger brother, who was far away in the far north, go to a Chronometer Tower Consortium university to study. "
"I guess he must have rejected it." Li Xiang shrugged.
Venus looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"It's very simple. If the manor in the north that you're bringing me to was just his previous residence, what's the point? Is it worth reminiscing about? I believe that the story began there, and not the university. "
"Smart!" Venus could not help but clap her hands and praise him for his meticulousness. This was probably inherited from his incomparably demonic mother.
"Lancelot didn't care about this at all. He only had eyes for machinery! At that time, I was just a maid's daughter, taking care of his daily life on behalf of my mother. I watched Brother Lancelot spend all day in the machinery room. Although I didn't understand, I could feel his passion for these things. "
Venus's eyes lit up with little stars. To be able to make the famous' Lover 'card fall in love with him, it was obvious that his father had a special charm.
Li Xiang could understand that kind of obsession. Was he not such a person too?
"Then?"
"Then … he rejected my brother's suggestion, so they sent a lot of resources to make up for it. That was the end of the matter. However, to everyone's surprise, there was a woman in that batch of resources by air. Yes, she should have been a young girl at that time! " Venus was a little angry. After all, in her eyes, that woman was her lifelong love rival. "I … I shouldn't have let that woman get close to Brother Lancelot!"
Li Xiang was amused. Now that he heard these seniors talk about their past, it was a different feeling.
"I thought it would be a more touching encounter. Turns out it's a romance between a young girl who ran away from home and a young master who's down and out." Li Xiang pursed his lips and smiled. He could not tell that the evil leader was so crazy when he was young.
"Bai Lili was 16 that year and your father was 18." Venus clenched her teeth in anger. "If she didn't appear, your father might not have left that place for the rest of his life."
"I remember she said that she became a player when she was 16." Li Xiang remembered that in the Death Omen, the 20-year-old Bai Lili looked like she was the best in the world.
"That's right. At that time, she was the brightest star in our eyes. That's undeniable. She hid in Brother Lancelot's room to eat, drink, and have fun. Occasionally, she would tell us about the outside world and planted a seed in his heart. Bai Lili said that she had an even more powerful brother. Now, the family wanted to put them in the same school to train. They wanted to sharpen each other's weapons, but she didn't like it at all. "
Venus recalled the past. Apart from hatred, there was also endless longing.
"She was rebellious. She didn't care about the family at all. She even went against the players' ideals. At that time, she had already started to try to get in touch with the Disaster weapon. On the other hand, we were just blank pieces of paper. Brother Lancelot was introverted and quiet. She was lively and outgoing. Unknowingly, she became the core of our group. She taught us cultivation when she was free. In order to have more common topics, I saw Brother Lancelot leave the machinery room for the first time and go to the cultivation room. "
"Men do it for women. I understand. Moreover, she was the most beautiful woman in the world." Li Xiang still had to say this in front of Venus. He could not help it. When he saw the 20-year-old evil leader, even he was tempted.
"Hmph! But I still have to thank her. If she didn't have the idea of the Disaster weapon, Brother Lancelot wouldn't have thought of going in this direction. His cultivation speed was really terrifying. In less than a month, he broke through to become a Level-3 Magician! "
The corner of Li Xiang's mouth twitched.
From zero to Level-3 Magician in less than a month?
And it was in the era when education was not completely universal and systematic?
Who was the main character here?
"Then, one day, he and Bai Lili quietly left the town. A Level-3 Magician and a newly promoted Level-1 player actually went to face a Disaster weapon! When they dragged their tired and injured bodies back, they even brought a Disaster weapon. We were completely shocked! "
The wheel of history really started to turn at that moment.
Bai Lili and Lancelot began to study Disaster and Disaster weapons. Lancelot did not have the talent of his brother, Xilo, and Bai Lili was not as talented as his brother, Bai Shili.
But they walked their own paths, and then they couldn't stop.
After all, Lancelot was a direct descendant of Wessex. Although he did not have the talent for machinery, he still had the [Gear Eye] that they had inherited. He used this ability to study Disaster weapons.
Bai Lili, on the other hand, embarked on an even more terrifying and dangerous path. For the sake of his research, she went out alone to hunt Disasters and search for Disaster weapons.
A year later, their deeds were still leaked.
Bai Shili personally came to the town. If Xilo hadn't come earlier, he would have razed the quiet manor and the man who had kidnapped his sister to the ground.
Seeing Bai Shili take Bai Lili away, the silent Lancelot finally accepted his brother's invitation and returned to Wessex, which was far away on the Sea and Land.
Bai Shili and Bai Lili entered the Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent. In less than a year, Lancelot came as well.
He brought along his new research results, which were also the most brilliant research results in the history of the seven continents so far!
"He successfully developed a stable method to obtain Source. Source is the core resource for our cultivation. However, back then, we could only search for natural Source liquids and solids to replenish it. It was very difficult." Venus let out a long sigh. Her face was slightly red, and her eyes were filled with admiration. "Therefore, in our generation, we mostly relied on arduous cultivation and very few resources to improve. Your father once said that his older brother was the greatest mechanic in the history of mankind, and he was the greatest creator! "
With his technology, Bai Lili grew at an insane speed. She actually became a Level-6 player before her brother. She was only 18 years old at that time, and Lancelot was only 20 years old!
It was also because of her rapid improvement in strength that Bai Lili became increasingly dissatisfied with the courses and education in school. She yearned for crazier battles and adventures. Therefore, she left school just like that.
Together with Lancelot, she disappeared outside Calamity City.
"No wonder the White King hated Lighthouse Academy so much. Every day, he saw his sister being intimate with another man. His hatred has shifted." Li Xiang clicked his tongue. He still had a question in his heart, but he knew that he would get the answer today.
"When they returned from the other side of the Great Wall of Calamity, Bai Lili was already 20 years old. We don't know what happened between them, but there seemed to be a huge conflict and disharmony between them. However, love quietly sprouted at that time." Venus smiled. "It's only now that I understand that Bai Lili is walking on a path that everyone is afraid of."
A 20-year-old Level-9 player who was ridiculously powerful was a taboo that no one dared to mention.
At that time, the White King was still far from Level-9.
When Bai Lili returned to the Bai family, perhaps she was still too young at that time. She still had a final attachment to her family, to some people, and to some things.
When she expressed her thoughts, she was mercilessly rejected by her family. They looked at her as if she was a monster. The leader was even her biological brother, Bai Shili, who had always doted on her the most.
"It was a snowy day. Brother Lancelot was still researching in the machinery room. She was covered in blood. She jumped down from the floating ship and fell right in front of me. I kept thinking about how good it would have been if I had just killed her." Venus pouted.
She killed her way out of the Bai family alone.
For her dream, for her persistence and ambition, she could only return here and find the only man who was willing to help her.
"Brother Lancelot walked out of the room and called everyone together. Then, he suddenly lifted the red cloth on the stone table in the courtyard. There were grooves inlaid on it, and then there were strangely shaped cards. He pressed the stone table and took out the first card. He quietly said to us, 'From today onwards, the Tarot Card is officially established.' We had our own positions and cards. We were excited and excited, but more than that, we were curious. "
"There were a total of 22 Big Acana cards. Some were disaster weapons, and some were disaster abilities that she gave us. It was also the place where our dreams began." She proudly took out the gentle lover card on her chest.
That was the card that the man she loved the most had created for her!
So, that was the starting point of the Tarot Card.
Li Xiang looked at her and smiled. "So, I want to be called Li Xiang. Is that their dream?"
"No, it's all of our dreams."
