Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 257: Burning talisman
"Savage and... more savage?"
Vinia did not expect that Irving would give such an answer, and her beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened. Although it looked surprised, it was still as cute in the eyes of others.
Actually, I have asked many people who feel very wise during the journey.
Some people answered that it was the firm belief of mainlanders! Some people say it is an advanced culture! Some say it is powerful technology! Some people say that the ethnicity of mainlanders is more noble than natives!
Aiwen’s answer rudely swept the previous seemingly reasonable answers into the trash.
From a very objective and neutral perspective, he explained the nature of the current colonization and being colonized!
This time it was the girl's turn to fall into "contemplation", and after a long time she raised her head again and revealed a sudden relaxed smile.
The answer I have been searching for for many years is so simple?
The so-called civilized country is not fundamentally different from the primitive turkeys. Stripping off those grand-sounding ornate coats, the various advantages on the surface of the civilized country are just derivatives based on the superiority of power.
The direction of my journey to find the answer is wrong.
Even if I can learn all the civilization achievements of the people of the Old World, and transplant all of them to my hometown.
But can you imagine that the people there throw away the spirit of ancestors and the customs for thousands of years, dress in formal clothes, greet with the etiquette of the mainland, and drink afternoon tea?
How long does it take to build a scientific foundation from scratch and then grow to the point where the mainland can build strong ships and guns?
The greater possibility may be the unacceptable situation...
If Aiwen knows what she thinks, she will definitely be able to provide her with a more vivid example.
The dinosaurs that have ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years in previous lives have never produced wisdom and technology like humans that have only existed for a few million years. Is this because they have failed in evolution?
But, perfectly adapted to the environment, everywhere in the world. The time spent at the top of the food chain exceeds that of human beings 55 times. How can this achievement be regarded as a failure?
Who would dare to say that sharp minions and strong muscles are not another triumph of evolution? !
Of course, if time and space are disordered, it gives humans and dinosaurs a chance to face each other.
At that time, the overlord who ruled the two eras respectively could probably use guns and minions to win the battle.
Seeing that Vinia finally came back to her senses, Ivan didn't realize what impact her words had on her. Anyone in her previous life could speak a hundred times better than she could!
"This kind of topic about the future of race is too far away from us. Even the king of a country can't dominate the direction of the civilized world. It is more realistic to do your own thing down-to-earth.
If your study tour in Nisk is over, welcome to our "Newin Harbor" in Falettis. As a landlord, I will show you the scenery of another country.
The most special thing is that there are many more factories using steam engines than here! "
solved all the troubles, the girl's face has returned to the original brightness, after thanking Aiwen for the invitation, something suddenly came to mind.
" By the way, I have actually paid attention to you for a long time.
呶, this is what I just painted, give it to you! "
The girl said, pulling out a piece of paper from the picture clip she had been carrying behind her back and handing it to Aiwen.
That is a very vivid sketch.
In the lower left corner of the screen is an artist holding a violin and playing affectionately.
In the main part, beside the stone bridge in the sun, a handsome young man stands quietly, listening to the moving music very seriously.
The handsome face of the young man lifted up slightly, with a wistful smile on his mouth, and the corners of his closed eyes flickered.
seems to be immersed in some good memories, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a line of small characters written in a beautiful font-"The Reminiscence of a Youth".
"This....."
Aiwen was right to see that the sketch was indeed himself, but he was obviously a few years younger than the now sixteen-year-old adult, and he may only be around ten years old.
The girl stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "When I saw you meditating, I thought you might be what you remembered in the painting. So..."
Aiwen then understood why there were so many tourists in the square, why did this young girl with such outstanding temperament find herself?
turned out to have been a model for her unconsciously.
However, this painting depicts very vividly, especially that my happiness mixed with nostalgia at the time was almost three-pointed, very vivid.
"It's okay, thank you Vinia! A great painting, I like it very much."
Aiwen carefully rolled up and held it in his hand, preparing to cherish this moment of his true feelings.
After the memory of the last life was awakened, how long has the "strong" self not shed tears?
reached into his trouser pocket (actually in the magic pocket in the trouser pocket), pretended to take it out, took out a "silver talisman" that could be used to defend against negative energy and mental attacks, and handed it to Vinia.
"Ms. Vinia, this is my gift in return. It is just a talisman. As a blessing from friends, please accept it!"
In the extraordinary world, various "occults" are also very popular in the world of ordinary people, and amulets are also "occult objects" that exist widely and are sought after by mortals.
is just different from the so-called "mystery shop" in the common world, which can only be used as psychological comfort. This is a genuine and extraordinary talisman.
is also a boutique made by Aiwen, who is not yet able to make it himself, from the "Crow Fair" earlier!
"Thank you, Mr. Irving!"
didn't seem to realize the value of this amulet, and after receiving it, Vinia hung it directly on her belt.
After chatting happily for a while, the time has gradually approached noon.
Out of courtesy and gentleman manner, Ivan wanted to invite Vinia to lunch, but was unexpectedly rejected by the girl.
"I'm sorry, but I have a chance next time.
I made an appointment with an oil painting teacher to visit his home at noon, the time is almost there, I have to go first! "
"Oh, that's a shame."
So, under the bright sunshine, the handsome young man and the beautiful girl waved goodbye by the bridge.
The scenery is so beautiful that you can enter the picture.
Before leaving.
Ivan left the address of the Royal Naval Academy "Newin Harbor" as a contact point.
Vinia said to Aiwen that she might stay in Shuicheng for a while, and tell him where her hometown is when we meet next time.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Irvine! Have a great chat today!"
"Me too, Miss Vinia, goodbye!"
Seeing Vinia’s graceful figure disappearing from the end of his line of sight, Ivan immediately received the drawing paper on his hand into the "magic pocket".
then felt a little strange in her heart. To this very cute girl, she did have the kind of reluctance to say goodbye to beautiful things in her heart, but it was more of an unspeakable...relaxed feeling!
because.
I don't know why he stayed with this beautiful girl like a forest elf. He always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
is like standing alone on a rock at the top of a 10,000-meter cliff facing the wind, even if you know that there is no danger, you can't contain the fear of high altitude.
But the sensitive spiritual perception before, this time he did not give him any dangerous feedback.
can only guess, it may be that I have not been alone with the strange beautiful opposite **** for too long, and I am a little nervous.
Until then.
Aiwen discovered that in the record of the "data-based vision", his physical fitness attributes had just undergone an obvious sudden improvement.
The most obvious point is "mental power".
Scientifically taking "Essence Fruit" has allowed his spiritual attributes to grow steadily.
Now finally from ~lightnovelpub.net after the end of the "Navy Rising Star Mission", it has come to 0.99 completely, and there is a basis for lighting up the "brilliance" of the eighth element.
Looking at the time of the last big jump, just over an hour ago, when I heard the violin song called "Contemplation" and fell into deep thoughts for my relatives.
The world of Idealism is so magical, and a piece of music can be topped by months of painstaking meditation!
after this.
As long as the three prerequisites of the apprenticeship stage are completed, which is mainly for the production of "psychic potions" and "wild talisman" for Aiwen, an advanced ceremony can be held to realize the transformation to a second-order official wizard!
However, Irvine, who had received a surprise, did not notice.
In an alley not far from her, the girl who had just talked and laughed to him with the frame on her back, her face had faded away, like a very delicate doll.
looked back at the position where Ivan was standing across the wall, raised his hand and gently stroked the corners of his pale pink lips:
"Is it a Galliot who has the breath of the'Golden Compass'? This generation has a very interesting guy... Is it more brutal? Maybe it is the excellent'adventurer' that Thetis needs. ...."
As he spoke, with the slight fluctuation of his mood, the deep breath in the body was slightly overflowed.
The "silver talisman" on her belt suddenly ignited without fire, and in the blink of an eye it burned into a pile of pitch-black residue.
