Arknights is too real, right?

After leaving Styx's home, Xia Feng stood outside the door holding the "Earth and Wind" given to him by Xina.

At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart.

This was not the first time he had seen the book "Earth and Wind". He had seen this book at Sister Mira's house a long time ago.

Obviously, the book that Hina gave him was not the same book as Sister Mira's, but the content inside was the same, that is, a copy.

This is not surprising. Books are different from paintings. There is no so-called original at all.

Books are things that use words to convey information to readers. For wider transmission, they need to be mass-produced.

Gently opening the book, just like what Xina said just now, she translated the contents in the book using modern words.

Starting from the cover, she marked the words "Earth and Wind" under the title of the book.

Turning back further, Hina's translated handwriting will appear every few pages.

Some contents are very detailed, while other contents are briefly mentioned or not stated clearly.

Ignoring the mysteries of spells that I didn't quite understand, Xia Feng quickly turned to the back of the book.

Sure enough, the only picture in the book still existed, exactly the same as the one he saw in Sister Mira's home.

In this black and white picture, there is a girl.

The girl in the picture is standing under a tree. She is about ten years old. She is holding a wooden object in her arms. Careful identification shows that it should be a pony-shaped toy.

The girl looked indifferent, as if she had lost all interest in the world.

Just like the scenery she sees in her eyes, it may be something that no one else but herself can ever notice.

He had doubted the identity of the girl in the picture before when he was at Sister Mira's house. Now, he was 100% sure that this was Xina.

Sister Mira once said that the content of this book is as profound as the stars and the universe. In addition to the mysteries of magic, there are also things that the world has never heard of.

Once upon a time, Xina traveled the world as a magic master, and her name was Moximina.

Hundreds of years later, all magic researchers who have read "Earth and Wind" firmly believe that the author of this book is Moximina herself.

However, Xia Feng, who saw this book at this moment, didn't think so.

Xina's purpose of traveling the world was just to find the River Styx. She had no interest in writing books at all, and the girl in the picture was herself.

Because the picture is black and white, it is difficult to determine whether it is a photo or a portrait, but it is enough to explain the problem.

Xina's appearance will never change, and for her, the so-called commemoration has no meaning. If she really wants to leave an image as an author, then this picture should be on the first page or the last page.

Xia Feng noticed that the part before this picture in the book was about magic, while the part after the picture had almost nothing to do with magic.

What's more, if this book is really written by Sheena, there is no need for her to always read what she has written.

Therefore, combined with his intuition, a more appropriate possibility emerged in his mind.

Xina is not the author of this book. She only provided part of the content in the book. The original author left her portrait in the book out of respect for her, gratitude, or other reasons.

According to Sister Mira, this book appeared hundreds of years ago.

As we all know, the current time is 1095 in the Terran calendar, and the origins of Terran civilization can be traced back thousands of years.

In other words, even if it was hundreds of years ago, the ancient words in the book are still awkward and do not belong to this era.

In other words, the author who wrote "Earth and Wind" hundreds of years ago knew things far beyond his time.

Therefore, the contents in the book are incomprehensible to those professionals, and at the same time they do not realize how serious it is.

Standing outside the door, Xia Feng looked at the book with wandering eyes. In his heart, the chaotic logical relationship seemed to be sorted out.

If his guess is correct, Xina is one of the content providers of "Earth and Wind", and she also met the real author of this book hundreds of years ago.

It’s not surprising that Xina can directly understand the text in the book, because according to Mr. Xiao, Xina’s existence can even be traced back to the primitive tribe period before the formation of civilization.

The moment when night and day alternate, there will always be traces of the previous "era".

After sorting out these things, Xia Feng's mood did not become clearer.

Because he still couldn't figure out something.

He doesn't know magic, and he doesn't understand Origin Stone skills. He relies on the power of the black and white twins of the ancient stone.

Why did Xina give him this translated copy of "Earth and Wind"?

While Xia Feng was struggling with his chaotic thoughts, a hearty call brought him back to reality.

"Lao Xia, what are you doing standing there stupidly? By the way, I heard that you are going to the north for a meeting tomorrow?"

Looking up, he saw Ergou walking towards him from the other side of the street holding a football.

"I'm going to Londinium tomorrow."

Ergou is a person who doesn't hide his emotions. When he heard that he was sure to go to the north, the boy immediately curled his lips in disappointment.

"No, Lao Xia, I have to leave just after I got back. I have an important football match next week, and I want you to cheer me on, hey."

Xia Feng thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be a football match.

"You can ask Lily to cheer you up."

Ergou shook his head.

"No, Lily has student union activities that day. She is now the first-year representative of the college's student union."

Since the end of the Victorian Dark Ages, social order has returned to normal.

Under Nancy's arrangement, Ergou and Lily both went to the Royal Academy, Victoria's highest institution.

Of course, Lily's grades have always been among the best, and she was admitted directly to the college. As for Ergou, she just relied on connections to stuff money, and they reluctantly accepted her.

Seeing Ergou's aggrieved expression, Xia Fengyi frowned.

"Then you can ask your mother to cheer you up."

The second brother shook his head violently.

"No, no, no, my mother has recently reached menopause and has a bad temper. She was originally opposed to me playing football, saying that when I grow up, I still play with these things like a child. Can football be used as a living? Damn it, I I don’t want her to go.”

Seeing Ergou like this, Xia Feng felt a little soft-hearted.

It can be said that he has watched Ergou grow up. If you think about it carefully, it is actually not easy for this kid.

My father died early, and one of my sisters ran away from home. For so many years, mother and son could only rely on each other in Baigui Street.

Before he, Guigui and others moved in, Ergou could only play ball by himself at the door every day. The neighbors were all weirdos, such as black market boxing champions, noble killers, court magicians, Captain Roger, and so on. He stays behind closed doors during the day and acts like a ghost in the middle of the night.

The only peer is a female top student, which can be said to be extremely lacking in friendship.

Xia Feng raised his wrist and glanced at the date on the bracelet.

"What time is your football game next week?"

"Next Thursday at 2 p.m., Royal College North Campus, Stadium No. 1, I have a place for the team members' relatives and friends group. If you come to cheer, you can sit in the front row and have free Coke."

Seeing the gloom swept away from Ergou's face, Xia Feng suddenly felt like he had been cheated.

"You really have arranged things very carefully."

"Hehe, I know you are a good person, Lao Xia, and you will definitely come to cheer me on."

Xia Feng sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I'll be back in time next Thursday. Come on, kick. If you win, I'll give you a reward."

"Reward? What reward?"

"I can give you the most expensive football you can buy in Victoria."

Upon hearing this tempting reward, Ergou excitedly kicked the peeled football in his arms into the air.

"Great!"

The next second, the sound of breaking glass came, which made me extremely happy and sad.

The football accurately smashed the glass of Ergou's house.

After a brief silence, Sister Li's roar in the house resounded throughout the street.

"Ergou, if you play football again, I will break your legs!"
