Chapter 65: Come Back to the Continent With Us

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Or… was there any other meaning?

The princess’s professional habit as a scholar acted up.

She muttered to herself, “Contacting the following, this substance should be called white fog because the scroll said that it looks illusory, but it has a true form. Ordinary methods can’t control and destroy it. We can only let it spread endlessly and devour…”

Suddenly, Head Maid Bedolla reminded softly, “Your Highness!”

Tina subconsciously looked up, then froze.

This was because Kang De was looking at her in a daze.

She had never seen such a gaze.

What kind of experience did someone have to have such a gaze?

It was as if his soul had suffered a sudden shock. That disbelief and surprise, that sudden fear and sorrow, and even a little… despair.

For some reason, looking at Kang De like this, she felt the same way. Her nose turned sour and her heart trembled.

She said softly, “…Kang De?”

Kang De suddenly grabbed her wrist and stared at her, “What else did it say? What else did it say? Will the speed at which the white fog spread hurt people and produce anything? You said that it was the earliest phenomenon. What happened after that? What does the Curtain Invasion mean?”

Tears flowed out of Tina’s eyes. She cried, “Kang De, it hurts…”

“Your Highness!”

Maid Bedolla was first shocked, then she quickly reached out to grab Kang De’s wrist. “Let go!”

His wrist hurt, but he did not let go. At the same time, the gorilla suddenly stood up, bared its sharp fangs, and roared at the maid.

This roar woke Kang De up.

He suddenly came back to his senses and let go of Tina’s wrist. The girl hurriedly covered her wrist, but she still looked at Kang De worriedly. “What… what’s wrong?”

Kang De took two steps back.

He whispered, “I… I…”

Tears involuntarily flowed out.

“I… I just… just suddenly…”

He kept retreating, then turned and ran to his room. He pulled open the door with the password lock and returned to the modern room. This was his home, the place which was most like Earth.

He closed the door heavily.

Kang De leaned against the door and slowly sat down. He bit his hand and tears streamed down his face. He could not control them. He tried his best to suppress his voice and whimpered softly like an injured cub.

“I’m thinking too much… I must be thinking too much…”

He muttered to himself.

“No, how can such a thing happen? Such a thing…”

He hugged his head and grabbed his hair.

“This is just a coincidence…”

He muttered to himself like a lunatic.

“Don’t let your imagination run wild… This kind of thing…”

Outside the door, Tina and Bedolla looked at each other. The gorilla ran to the door and wanted to knock, but a trace of sadness flashed through its eyes. It could hear a low sob behind the door, but it could not comfort it.

Bedolla said in a low voice, “Your Highness, let’s leave for the time being and come back tomorrow.”

Kang De’s strange actions made the head maid feel a little uneasy. She did not want Her Highness to be in danger.

Tina was silent for a moment, then shook her head. “No.”

She walked towards the door.

The gorilla suddenly turned around, bared its fangs, and issued a silent warning. Tina only paused for an instant, then continued forward. She mouthed silently to the gorilla, “Trust me.”

Her eyes were clear and calm, filled with determination and confidence.

The gorilla was silent for a moment before slowly moving aside.

Tina pressed her hand against the door. Instead of knocking, she lifted her skirt and slowly squatted down.

“Kang De.” She said softly.

“Can you hear me?”

There was no answer, but the door was vibrating gently. She could vaguely hear voices behind it.

As long as that person was listening, it was fine.

“I don’t know what happened or what you experienced. If you don’t want to say, I won’t ask. Learning to restrain your curiosity is one of the good qualities of a cultured person.”

She said softly, “I only want to say that the crimson scroll is the ancestral relic of the Seven Heroes family. It records the various details of the huge event back then. The contents of every scroll are different. For example, this scroll records the phenomenon of the Curtain Invasion, such as the white fog that was mentioned, what happened after that, even the measures to deal with it, and even the method to crack it…”

“The few crimson scrolls held by the seven hero families also record knowledge related to this.”

A little sound came from behind the door.

Tina said quietly, “Although I really want to analyze it for you now, my knowledge is limited. Without more ancient books and reference documents, it’s difficult to interpret the ancient words on it.”

“However, just because you can’t do it now doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future.”

“The Empire’s National Library, the Memory Palace of Sky City, the All-Seeing Tower of

Tueshala… These places preserve a large amount of knowledge about ancient times. There are also many scholars who study ancient words on the continent. It’s not impossible to analyze the entire content of the scroll.”

“Or rather, it’s a very simple thing.”

“Because we want to bring this news back to the continent and hand it to the elves and the Empire. We want to hand it to the various races on the continent. It’s only a matter of time before we gather the strength of the various races and scholars to decipher all the words on the scroll.”

She said softly, “With a complete translation, it can help you, right?”

There was a thud behind the door as if his head had fallen back.

Kang De still did not speak.

Tina said nothing either.

After a while, Tina took a deep breath, as if gathering her courage.

“I said last night that I have something to say to you after the battle is over.”

“Actually, I wanted to tell you before, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable opportunity and don’t know how to ask. I’ve thought of many plans and practiced them many times to consider how to convince you.”

“However, I’m not a politician who’s proficient in speech after all. I don’t know how to move people with words. Instead of using carefully modified words to persuade them, it’s indeed better to be more direct.”

“Therefore, Kang De…”

Tina said softly, “Come back to the continent with us.”

“Once the news of the curtain is sent back to the various races on the continent, the peace of the Holy Seal Islands will be completely broken. If Kang De still stays here, it will be very troublesome.”

“Moreover, you also need strength, right?”

The girl lowered her eyes and slowly said, “You accepted the Knighting Ceremony and obtained the inheritance of an ancient hero. We picked up the fragment of your axe outside the camp. I guessed your ability. It’s an ability related to enchantment, right? That’s why you want enchanted equipment and magic items.”

She said calmly.

It was probably a conversation strategy that no shrewd person would use… However, Tina still said it directly without hiding or beating around the bush.

She said, “Kang De, you need systematic guidance and cultivation. There are many famous alchemists on the continent who are good at enchantment. There are a few who are on good terms with the Tedrell family. One of them is in the capital. I can introduce him to you as a thank-you and repayment for these past few days.”

“Let’s go to the capital together. At that time, you can stay there and stay in the rich and peaceful capital. That’s the most prosperous place on the continent. With your wealth and ability, you can definitely live very well there. When you’re successful, you can do what you think you should do.”

The girl’s face was calm and beautiful. She whispered, “Can I?”

The person inside did not respond for a long time.

Tina waited for a while and slowly stood up. She said softly, “Then, I’ll leave first, Kang De… No matter what, I hope you can pull yourself together. Although it’s a little presumptuous to say this, sorrow alone can’t change anything. That’s why I chose to go to the capital to fulfill my mission.”

“I think you must have your own mission, right?”

With that, this beautiful girl nodded at the gorilla and left.

Kang De leaned against the door and hugged his knees in silence.

Tina left with endless thoughts. On the way, she asked Bedolla, “Head Maid, are my words too presumptuous and direct?”

The head maid replied, “Your Highness, you’ve always thought that a sincere heart can move another, right?”

When the girl heard this, she became happy. She nodded and said, “Yes, I almost forgot. The world is unpredictable. We just have to do our best… That’s it.”

They returned to the Goethe camp.

The knight came out to welcome them with a slightly serious expression. He did not even have the time to ask Tina about the gains of this trip.

“Your Highness, you should see this. It was found on that elf adjutant.”

In his hand was a tablet computer.
