The gate of light stands in the empty northern land. Displaced refugees walk out of it in long queues. Under the arrangement of uniformed coordinators, they enter the pre-prepared temporary housing and get hot water, food and Warm clothes, stay safe for now.

"This assembled Dracula County is not suitable for refugees." Locke looked at the busy scene in front of him, sighed, and said, "We have enough food reserves, as well as enough houses and clothes. But the winter here is It's very unfriendly, and those who are frail, probably won't get through it."

"No way, it would be too conspicuous to do this in Tara Khan." Sanyu sighed, "In the Sea Dragon Kingdom, the preparations have not been completed - even if it is done, the fragile natural balance of Longtou Island , I'm afraid it won't be able to support too many people."

Locke nodded, of course he understood these truths.

"Have you not convinced Liu Daoqing yet?" he asked again.

"This guy, Yuguo, now thinks his wife more than anything else." Sanyu sighed and said, "Katerina is currently at the critical moment of hitting the legendary realm, and she is almost in a semi-reclusive state. Now Alanz The major affairs of the kingdom are basically decided by him, the Duke of Spinola, and the Duke of Candy. The decision not to accept refugees for the time being was also decided by them-they were afraid that the sudden good news would make Katerina emotional Unstable. And a sudden increase in the population of a country can also trigger some mysterious so-called 'changes in luck'... They are now focused on stability and don't care about anything else."

Locke shook his head with disdain on his face: "This guy really thinks of himself as a king! It's really hard to learn, but if you learn it badly, you can learn it!"

Sanyu smiled and said: "Fortunately, the disasters over there are not seamless one by one, there are some breathing gaps in the middle. It is estimated that Dracula will only accept two or three refugees from the disaster, and then Longtou Island Accept it twice, and then Ivyin's side can accept it again... After this circle, it should be summer on your side, enough to arrange more refugees. "

Locke nodded: "Don't worry, as long as this winter is over, the rest will be easy to handle. Even if the northern side can't make arrangements for the time being, the barbarians can still arrange some - Jian Shisan and Xingzhao are now the northern forest. The brains of the barbarians, they can mobilize a lot of human and material resources. Moreover, the attitude of the northern barbarians towards refugees from other places is okay."

Just as he was talking, Sanyu received a private chat. After a while, he said with a smile: "Xingzhao has just captured a space fluctuation that contains our traveler's information. It is expected that the analysis will be completed within half a year to a year."

"This is really good news!"

"Yeah, every world can find some people... By the way, have you ever played an old game called 'Fantasy Water Margin'? In that game, the protagonist is constantly gathering partners, and finally gathers one One hundred and eight stars, save the world..."

"I have an impression, but it's a very distant memory." Locke looked up at the sky, and after a while, he said, "Sanyu, do you think that we have been in this world for a long time?"

"It's been more than ten years, it's quite a long time indeed."

"This is just the beginning," said Locke, "and we'll be here for the second decade, the third decade...even the first hundred years, the second hundred years...until we If we truly become 'people who have come out of the depths of history', at that time, will we be regarded as people of the earth? Or people of this world?"

Sanyu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course it's Earthlings. In any case, the attributes of our traversers will not change."

Locke shook his head: "You didn't think about this issue carefully, take it for granted."

"It seems that you have thought about it carefully, so let's hear it?" Sanyu asked with a smile, "Could it be that Locke Watson found any blind spots?"

Locke also smiled and said: "I think that a person's personality is related to the environment in which he grew up, but it is also related to the environment in which he lives for a long time. We have not spent many years on earth. Even the oldest Volibear is only less than sixty. And the young Laisha and Xingzhao are only twelve or thirteen years old. If we live in this world for a hundred years , Two hundred years, our thoughts and habits will inevitably become more and more inclined to this world, and the distance from the earth will be farther and farther away.”

"The youngest left home and the eldest returned, but the local accent has not changed, and the hair on the temples has faded. Some things will not change until death."

"It's just 'something'." Locke was not as optimistic as Sanyu, he looked a little sad, "For example, if I were to return to Earth now, would I really be able to get used to life on Earth?"

He lowered his head and sighed deeply: "Farewell to the hot construction here, goodbye to these people who make me worry, go back to the earth, re-employment, 9 to 5, can I really get used to it, can I really get used to it? I don't have that confidence."

Before waiting for more than three to answer, he said: "Let's take you for example, now let you go back, bid farewell to the identity of the castle chef and the guild president, and return to the ordinary restaurant owner and chef, can you really adapt? Can you endure nodding and bowing to greet people from all walks of life? Can you endure a lot of nitpicking from diners? Can you endure that any cat or dog can point fingers at you?"

Sanyu's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes became deep.

"I remember when I left the castle and started my own business, I told you that - we traversers must adhere to our own thoughts and habits, in order to avoid being eroded by this world, to maintain our original appearance, to be able to No longer being 'not me'... I now feel that I was really too optimistic at that time!" Locke shook his head repeatedly, "No matter what we do, we will be constantly eroded by this world, and eventually we will not be like ourselves. , even unable to return to life on Earth."

Sanyu was silent for a long time and said, "Have you told anyone else about this?"

"I've talked to Panda, and I've talked to Jian Shisan." Locke smiled wryly, "Besides that, I don't actually have many friends I can talk to."

"What did they say?" Sanyu asked.

"Jian Shisan thinks that I think too much, life is too short, I can do whatever I want. It's boring to think so much, God knows if I can live until then-maybe the Dragon of Doomsday will come out in a few years, and everyone will It was sprayed into a pile of ashes, clean and flat..."

"He really thinks about it! What about the panda?"

"Panda said he didn't plan to go back, so he didn't think about what the earth would be like."

Sanyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Panda doesn't plan to go back?"

"Well, that's what he told me."

"why?"

"I asked at the time, but he didn't answer." Locke said, "He just said, since he's here, let's live here. It doesn't matter to him how the earth is." Locke smiled, "It's a A good solution to the problem."

Sanyu frowned, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind. After this migration, he found the panda in private.

"Panda, I think we need to have a good talk..."
