Chapter 218 White Mist Blockade
Alan led the two of them into the house and said:

"As you can see, Jenny is indeed my wife. In fact, Lois and Jenny grew up in Giethoorn. The three of us can be said to be childhood sweethearts. At that time, there were one more villager in Giethoorn than now. times, but after all, this place is too remote. Later, some young people moved away here in order to make life more convenient. My family was one of them. When I was ten years old, my parents took me to live with relatives in the town. From then on Fewer have come back.”

Jenny glanced at him: "Yes, in the early years you were very stinky and ignored me. Who knew that when you left, you would actually cry with snot and tears on the carriage? I don't know I thought we would never see each other again. But within half a year, my brother and I went to school in the town, and my brother laughed at you for the whole year. "

Alan's face turned red and he scratched his head: "Don't mention this embarrassing thing again."

While Yun Xiao listened carefully, his eyes also fell on the room.

Most of the furniture in this house is made of wood and looks very old. Looking at the shocking wall-to-wall bookshelves in the living room, as well as the simple yet elegant flowers and complicated-looking vases, almost every piece of furniture stands out. It reflects the taste and cultivation of the owner.

"There are so many books? Are they all by Lois?"

Seeing Yun Xiao looking at the house, Alande sighed and said:

"This shop was originally run by their grandfather, Mr. Jaxo. In the early years, Mr. Jaxo was not a businessman, but an exchange student at [Paente University City]. Students who could enter there would eventually be He went to work for the Eastern Empire. Unfortunately, the birth system was still very strict in that era. Mr. Jaxo, who was from another continent, could not rely on his knowledge to enter the Eastern Empire and pursue a political career, so he had no choice but to return to Giethoorn. "

"Paint University City? Isn't that in the [Eastern Empire Continent]? It's still far away from here."

Alande invited people to the sofa in the living room:

"Yes. To get there, you need to take a carriage to the east coast port, and then take a boat. It takes three months anyway. It is probably faster now. I heard that the [Eastern Empire Continent] has been connected to trams and even boats. The speed is also much faster.”

Lu Bei hoped for Alande and said: "But since old Mr. Jacques came from such a top university, it stands to reason that he would be appreciated by the lord of the royal court, and he would not come back to such a remote place to do business, right?"

Alande shook his head:
"Things are far from that simple. Seeing that you are not very old, you should not know much about the past. You must know that the relationship between [Olivedo Continent] and [Eastern Empire Continent] was not as harmonious as it appeared. Because of the change of people in power in the [Eastern Empire Continent], the relationship between the two continents later became tense, and the old Mr. Jacquesso who was stuck in the middle as an exchange student was more embarrassed. If he stayed there, he would be regarded as a spy. , and you will be squeezed out by those old powerful officials when you return to the Royal Court. You should know this better than me before coming from the Royal Court, right?"

"Well, that's true."

Yun Xiao was talking about it, but in fact he didn't know anything about it, but at least he probably understood it now.

Old Mr. Jacquesso had no knowledge, but he couldn't survive anywhere, so he returned to his hometown to develop.

Jenny poured hot tea for the two of them: "I have arranged for your friends to stay in the guest room upstairs. They have been busy all night. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Yun Xiao and Lu Beixi nodded in thanks, then each picked up their teacups and took a sip. As the aroma of black tea penetrated their hearts and spleens, they both sighed comfortably.

Yun Xiao put down the tea cup and continued to ask: "Then how did old Mr. Jaxo think of opening a store?"

After hearing this, Alande's eyes drifted to the black and white photos placed on the cabinet in the distance. The two of them followed his gaze and saw that the photo showed a man sitting upright. The man had lively eyes and a beard. He was upright, wearing a suit and a top hat. A very reliable feeling.

Thinking about it, it should be a photo of old Mr. Jacques when he was young.

Alande sighed:
"He has lived in a bustling metropolis for many years. When he returned to the village, he realized how inconvenient life was in Giethoorn because there were no shops. But who among the businessmen from distant towns would come to such a remote place to open a shop? So The old Mr. Jacquesso decided to open a store by himself and travel between towns every month to provide convenience to the villagers.

You see, the daily necessities used by many people in the village, including laundry soap and glass, are all shipped back from the towns to the east of the wilderness. At the same time, he also sends wool, goat milk, and some agricultural products produced in the village. Sell ​​it elsewhere, otherwise the village would still be in dire straits. "

Yun Xiao nodded:

"and after?"

"Later, when he got older, he passed the shop to his son, Mr. Wayne Jacques, the father of Lois and Jenny. Mr. Jacques did a much better job than the old Mr. Jacques , after all, I have been following old Mr. Jacques in several towns since I was a child, and I am very familiar with doing business. But he is willing, but Lois does not like it. Lois and Jenny are both smart, at least when we were young, the village When the children there went to enlightenment school together, the teacher praised Lois in this way, saying that he should go to the Eastern Empire to gain knowledge, otherwise it would be a pity.

Probably following his grandfather, Lois finally relied on his knowledge to get into the [Paint University City] from a town school. Fortunately, decades passed, and the relationship between the two continents has eased again. Little, but it was at that time that strange things began to happen on the mainland. "

"Strange thing?"

"Haven't you heard? At first, people just disappeared occasionally without attracting anyone's attention. Later, strange white fog suddenly appeared on several continents, and the cities shrouded in white fog disappeared directly from the continent. Every The lords of the mainland have sent troops to search, but those who entered the white mist either disappeared together or died in the white mist. Logically speaking, as adventurers, you should know better than us, and I am also curious about how you did it. Came from [Wangting] safely..."

When Lu Beixi heard this, he paused while holding the teacup, and then said calmly:
"You know, [Wang Ting]'s spiritual stone transmission is still very convenient."

Alan didn't question it after hearing this, but nodded:
"What you said is right, but it's a pity that ordinary civilians don't have such convenient conditions." Lu Beixi and Yun Xiao looked at each other, and then looked at Aland:
"We have been working inside [Wangting] and don't know what's going on outside. How long has this white mist you mentioned been around?"

This time Aland didn’t speak, while Jenny sat aside and sighed:
"Seven or eight years ago, Lois was still in [Paint University City] at that time. His father wanted him to go home, but he refused several times. His father was afraid that something would happen to him there, so he went to the Eastern Continent alone. I planned to bring my brother back directly, but who knew that he disappeared directly when passing through [Rosa Town]. Since then, the road leading to [Rosa Town] has also been shrouded in white mist, and many patrol teams have been dispatched. Each time they returned without success.

I remember that my mother cried every day and even ignored the advice. She set off overnight to find her father. As a result, she herself was lost in a white mist. Fortunately, she was later discovered by a roving adventurer and sent back. However, after returning, her body It's getting worse day by day. But fortunately, because of this incident, I sent a letter to [Paint University City]. My brother knew about my father and mother, and finally decided to come back. "

Yun Xiao asked: "Does your mother have any specific symptoms?"

Jenny pursed her lips and said: "My mother's illness is very strange. At first, she would repeat a memory, and it would be like living the same day every day. Not long after that, her memory became worse day by day, and even slowly, she stopped talking, every day It’s all a state of confusion.”

Lu Beixi frowned: "Have you seen a doctor?"

Alande shook his head:
"I've read it all, but it's of no use. Mrs. Jacques has taken almost all the medicines she can take, but she doesn't seem to be getting better. It's because of this that Lois even wrote a letter specifically to ask for advice from the experts at [Paente University City]. The professor who studied medicine suggested that he go to the [Future New City]. Lois saw that his mother's condition was getting worse every day, so he had no choice but to leave the village again and go to the [Future New City]."

Yun Xiao digested what the two said and was a little surprised.

From this point of view, the sudden white mist may be the period when the doomsday system gradually swallows up the Garden of Eden, which is also the time when the game is overwritten and tampered with.

Lu Beixi raised his eyebrows and said:

"White mist? Is the white mist you're talking about the same as the white mist in the west of the wilderness?"

Alande paused and was about to say something when he saw him looking up in the direction of the restaurant:
“Jenny, is your soup going to be dry?”

Yun Xiao looked up along the dining table and saw an iron pot hanging on the stove nearby, and the fragrant and rich cream of mushroom soup in the iron pot was still bubbling.

In fact, as soon as she entered the door, she smelled the rich milky aroma in the air. It turned out that Jenny was making soup.

Only then did Jenny realize what she was doing, and she stood up from the sofa with an exclaim:
"Sorry, I almost forgot my cream soup!"

She hurriedly walked to the pot and stirred the soup a few times with a wooden spoon. When she saw that it was almost cooked, she picked up the iron tongs on the side and skillfully moved away some burning charcoal.

After her skillful movements, only a few pieces of charcoal were left burning, and the iron pot was left to rest on the residual heat without completely extinguishing the firewood.

At this time, the room was exuding an alluring aroma, not just the rich soup. Yun Xiao looked for the smell and saw that the wooden dining table had already been set with freshly baked butter bread, and a plate full of burnt fragrant bread. Bacon and ham were also neatly placed on the table. The golden and attractive cheese is neatly cut into pieces and mixed with many foods to emit a rich food aroma.

"Do you usually eat so much?"

Jenny turned back and smiled:

"Of course not. I thought that everyone must be hungry after a busy night, so I made breakfast in advance and planned to ask Alan to take it out and distribute it to the people in the village. If you don't mind, everyone can have breakfast first. , we can chat while eating, by the way, your friend has been arranged in the room, you can go and ask the gentleman to come out together. "

As Jenny spoke, she began to serve the cream of mushroom soup. Seeing the rich and attractive taste of the milky white soup soaked in shiitake mushrooms, Yun Xiao swallowed hard and suddenly felt very hungry.

Seeing that Arland specifically pushed Jenny away, Lu Beixi looked at Arland:

"Do you have any concerns about Baiwu?"

Alan looked at Jenny who was still serving soup and preparing breakfast in the distance, sighed with complicated eyes, and then saw him saying with a frustrated look:
"I have been to several towns in the past few years and have inquired a lot about the news. In fact, not long after Lois left, there have been more and more places shrouded in white mist like that there on several continents. As long as more people go in, there will be more places. She was more or less injured and lost. Mrs. Jacquesso was relatively lucky to have met an adventurer. Otherwise, she would not know whether she was alive or dead.

At the beginning, I was afraid that Lois would never come back, so I would exchange letters with him almost every time he arrived in a city. The letter you picked up was the last one, and it was also the last time I sent it a few years ago. 's letter.

Maybe my worries were right. Sure enough, there was no news about Lois who later went to [Future New City] to look for medicine. I heard that the road leading there was also blocked by white mist after he entered. It was only a month ago that we learned that even [Wang Ting] had no news.

Fortunately, you showed up. The village chief once thought that the missing contact with [Wang Ting] was a fake news, and we couldn't verify it. Fortunately, you sent it, and we are very happy for this... Otherwise, even the king's capital in the mainland would have lost contact. The entire continent would be in chaos. "

As Alande spoke, his voice dropped again:
"It's just that now, the white mist has spread to [Wild of Hope], and you don't have as powerful spiritual stones as [Wang Ting] has, so I..."

Yun Xiao whispered word by word:
"So you think it's very possible that we might be trapped here and unable to get out?"
