Chapter 4 Entering the City

Some things change over time, while others are not.

Li Lin, who walked into the city, looked at the buildings in the city carefully, and frowned secretly. Judging from the appearance and materials alone, the style and style of the entire building seem to be no different from that of a thousand years ago. If you insist on it, it is more like removing the essence of the building from a thousand years ago and leaving only unnecessary waste-like construction methods. On the earth, Li Lin was very surprised that since the ancient Egyptians could build such a tall pyramid without relying on the magic tool called "crane", they could only build such a tall pyramid with their hands and simple wood, why in modern times, humans have retreated to the point where they can only rely on those magical devices to build a tall building. Now after seeing the scene in front of them, Li Lin finally understood it a little.

It seems that the so-called generation is not as good as the other. But similarly, the so-called "The New Waves of the Yangtze River pushes the previous Waves may not be able to fully believe it.

However, with Li Lin's eyes as a great magician, he soon discovered the reason for this. In Li Lin's age, the construction of these city walls and houses was left to magic to deal with. No matter how thick the stones or how thick the trees were, they could be repaired by the magicians in a very short time into the shape and type they needed according to their wishes. The houses built with the power of magic are naturally beautiful and generous, and strong and durable. However, the buildings at present do not have any traces of magic, but they can even clearly see the traces of artificial polishing.

Perhaps, this is why there is still no progress in the world after a thousand years.

Perhaps the same reason may be true for that world.

There are many pedestrians on the street, perhaps because of the border city, it is not uncommon for people like Li Lin to wear strange clothes. However, even so, Li Lin and Anjiera have received a lot of attention. After all, as long as Angela doesn't speak, it is difficult for her holiness and cuteness that is comparable to angels to avoid attracting other people's attention. But as soon as she opens her mouth, it only takes five seconds for people outside Li Lin to feel that she is actually chatting with the terrifying master in the deepest part of hell.

Li Lin's outstanding temperament and his outfit are also particularly eye-catching. Since he realized that in that world, he could not rely on dragon blood and elf spring water to "take shortcuts" to make his body stronger, Li Lin had to start choosing the path of physical exercise. Although he did not become a target for a muscular man, after years of persistent exercise, Li Lin already had a good body and a well-proportioned body. Moreover, Li Lin was very tall, and even walking among these people, he stood out a little.

"Let's go there and sit."

Too much attention may not necessarily be a good thing. Li Lin had long noticed those eyes staring at him in the dark alleys. And An Jie was eager to try. As her master, Li Lin knew very well that An Jie would never show mercy to the guys who came to the door. But now, he didn't want to cause too many troubles. After all, the times have changed, and Li Lin still needs to adapt to many things again.

Moreover, Li Lin also discovered some minor inconsistencies.

The two of them walked around the city for so long, but they only saw a temple of the God of Justice. For Li Lin, this was a very abnormal sign.

Thousands of years ago, even in the Magic Empire, there were several or even dozens of temples in every city on the continent. People each took their needs and believed in the gods they needed. Of course, as a wizard who did not need to believe in gods, Li Lin himself was not very interested in these religious beliefs, but he also knew very well that this delicate balance between the gods was very important. Even though thousands of years had passed, for the eternal gods, it was just a splash of water in the long river of time. And even if they hated each other, they would follow certain rules.

"To give a very simple example, this world is a body, so the gods are the organs of this body."

Li Lin sat on a table near a quiet corner deep in the bar and said to Angela, who was curiously fiddling with a wooden wine glass.

"No matter whether their nature is good or bad, they must play their role in order to maintain the normal functioning of this body."

But now, it looks more like the heart or brain dominant, cutting off all the liver, spleen and kidneys.

"So, according to master, there are really gods in this world."

Angela doesn't seem to care much about the gods.

"So, what about your world? Since there are blood-sucking species like you, then there must be gods."

"I think that something that is not even as good as dog feces is on earth."

"How do you know?"

Facing Anjiela's almost unwavering answer, Li Lin was a little surprised. He had only been in that world for eighteen years. Just learning the magical knowledge that looked so exquisite had exhausted Li Lin's time and energy, so he really had no time and free time to inquire about gods. However, according to Li Lin's experience, since there are various myths and legends in that world called Earth, it is not surprising that there is a god. However, looking at Anjiela's appearance now, it seems that she doesn't think so.

In the face of Li Lin's inquiry, Angela frowned, but she still answered quickly.

"I, I used to massacre people from a city in order to pursue the footsteps of the gods."

""

"Turn the church into a cemetery, and smearing blood and remains of corpses on the cross, describing blasphemy, spreading plagues to turn the whole city into a mad hell. But even if I do this, let alone a miracle, I can't even see the heavenly punishment that punishes me."

He clearly said that he had brought evil to the extreme, but the girl in front of him had a look of silence and helplessness, as if she was the real victim.

"If there are really gods, then shouldn't they make any statement when I kill these humans?"

Facing Anjiela's inquiry, Li Lin expressed his agreement. The reason why the gods exist was to protect their people. Since they were believed, they naturally had to express themselves. Just like the battle between the believers of the Goddess of Dawn and the Lich they saw before. If Anjiela had placed it in this world, it would have been enough to be the object of attention of the gods. However, she herself said that there was no echo at all. Then, either the gods in that world were an extremely cruel type, or there was no god in that world.

but……………

"Why do you have to go to that level and see God?"

Li Lin looked at Angela and raised questions. He had never considered this issue before. Vampires were afraid of light and crosses. Although these hearsay rumors did not apply to Angela, Li Lin, as a person who had lived in the world of magic and gods, naturally first understood from the perspective of "these things exist", so the answer was naturally very simple. Just like the relationship between the undead and the holy light, Li Lin had never heard of any lich who would foolishly look for the God of Light, which was obviously looking for death.

And what Angela did was like this to seek death.

"I just want to get an answer."

Angela curled her lips and sighed.

"But it seems that I can't get this answer."

After a brief rest, Li Lin left the tavern. The only silver coins found in his hand from the corpses of adventurers were not enough for Li Lin to squander. Fortunately, before leaving, Li Lin also used his own power to bring some gems from the earth. Although the magic power among them had been completely cleared due to the consumption of planes traveling through the plane, this did not hinder their worth as valuables. Although this world has become very unfamiliar to Li Lin. However, because he read the memory of the poor swordsman with magic, Li Lin still has a certain understanding of the common sense of life in the world "currently" world.

In a gem shop, Li Lin replaced the gems that no longer had magic power, but at least they still looked dazzling, with gold coins, but after that, he had more important things to do.

"Hello, dear guests."

The old man seemed to be very rare to receive guests like Li Lin. When he saw the man and woman walking into his shop, the old man with a little dizzy eyes was even stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly said hello to the two. Of course, he would not enthusiastically sell his products or warmly greet his customers like other shops. Li Lin didn't say much, but just looked at Anjie. At this moment, she was dressed in a naive way, and seemed to have no idea where she was coming. She just looked at everything here with curious eyes.

“Dear guest, you…”

Li Lin stopped the old man from speaking with gestures, and at his gesture, the old man followed him into the room behind. This was not surprising, after all, this was not an ordinary business.

"Dear guest, first of all, allow me to express my sympathy for the misfortunes you have encountered."

The old man slowly opened the conversation.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, Lao Luolin will serve you with all your heart. Now, please tell me what you need Lao Luolin to do for you?"

"I need a coffin."

Li Lin's expression was just right and serious. He looked at the room outside intentionally or unintentionally, and then focused on the old man in front of him. The sharp eyes almost made the old man lose in the black eyes. He even had to lower his head to escape this terrible gaze.

He must be a mercenary.

The old man thought.

Only those who are so kind will show such a determined look.

But Li Lin's next words forced the old man to raise his head.

"This is for the lady outside."

“This…dear guest…you………………………………”

"It's a secret."

Li Lin gently raised a finger and pressed down the old man's surprised words.

"The child suffered from a terminal illness and could not live long. No one could save her life. Her parents had paid an unbearable price for it, but she still could not restore it. Everything has passed, and now her parents and I only hope that she can get the peace she has never received when she falls into eternal sleep."

"Oh...this...this...this...this...this...this...this...this..."

Shocked by Li Lin's description, the old man could hardly say anything fluent.

"I brought her here this time, hoping to use your skills to make a soft bed suitable for this child to sleep together. No matter it is the strong wind, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, it cannot disturb the child's eternal sleep." When he said this, Li Lin paused for a moment and looked at the old man in front of him. He was already moved by this sad story, which was enough.

"I hope you can understand my feelings and her parents, sir."

Li Lin unconsciously moved his fingers.

"The child did not know that the shadow of death had already enveloped his head. We kept telling her that she would get better. Now, we can only wait and see helplessly. In the near future, this child will never open her beautiful and clear eyes again under the sunshine in the morning. Before that, we only hope that she can go through the last journey of life with peace and hope, rather than with fear and sadness for death."

"Oh...oh...this is of course, respected guests."

Facing Li Lin's words, the corners of the old man's eyes were already a little wet. He forced himself not to shed tears, but quickly stood up and made a promise to Li Lin.

"I will do my best to meet your requirements."

all the best.

Walking out of the lifeless coffin shop, Li Lin could easily feel the sad and pity gazes cast by the old shopkeeper behind him.

"Master, your clever words are enough to compare with the devil of hell."

At this moment, Angela no longer had the innocence and innocence she had in the store before, and instead had a bit of complacent cunning.

"For the magician, that's nothing."

Li Lin gently patted Anjie on the head.

He looked at the city in front of him, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his expression.
