Honkai Impact: Travel Notes of the Tree and the Sea

"So, after that, A'an embarked on a journey by himself?"

Alicia raised her head and looked at the starry sky above her head. This place that Alicia was once very familiar with seemed to have a different kind of scenery now.

"Ah."

Tian'an and Alicia sat back-to-back, recounting memories of an unknown amount of time.

"I remember that I got up very early the next day. I went to the canteen and bought each of them a breakfast, which was what they liked to eat."

"I also went to help them get their diplomas and degree certificates back and put them on their desks. Then I took my luggage and left alone."

"When I stood alone outside the school gate, I realized at that time that I would probably be alone for a long time in the future."

Recalling what happened back then, Tian'an couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He himself would not have thought that that journey would completely change his destiny.

On this ocean where all things are born, the traveler seemed to be telling a story, while the pink girl leaned against him quietly, wanting to understand everything about him.

The narrator continues.

After that, Tian'an visited almost all the scenic spots in China that he had never been to before, and then he began to move towards those inaccessible places.

And when he saw the scenery he had never seen before, the young man seemed to have an emotion called "desire" in his heart for a moment.

So since then, the young man has set foot in almost every no-man's land in the country. Every time, the young man can feel that he desires something more, but every time he cannot satisfy it.

Until the boy's footsteps reached a fork in his life.

That day, the young man had two choices before him. One is to go with a tour group to the ruins of Pompeii, while the other option is to go to a primeval forest that has never been set foot by humans.

The young man didn't like the dilapidated feeling of the ancient city ruins, so he walked into the forest alone with his belongings.

And the day after the boy entered the forest, a fog completely enveloped the area.

……

...

"After entering the forest, there was an inexplicable fog. It felt like a horror story?"

It should be said that it was Alicia. If other people encountered such a situation, they would most likely be scared. And listening to Alicia's voice, she seemed to be looking forward to it.

"And then?"

Alicia turned around and laid her upper body behind Tian'an, urging him to continue speaking.

"By the time I realized that the surrounding fog had begun to affect my vision, I had walked too far, and all communication tools such as mobile phones had failed."

"But I was lucky. There happened to be a small river in front of me at the time."

"So I headed upstream along the river, which at least ensured my water source."

"And after that..."

Having said this, Tiannan paused. He seemed to think for a while and then asked Alicia a question.

"Alicia, if you were an ordinary person, would you believe in the so-called time travel?"

"As a living person, you are suddenly in another world for various reasons."

"Of course you believe it?"

Alicia gave her answer without hesitation.

"A'an, think about it. If you go to a whole new world, you can meet more friends and experience more interesting things. Isn't that good?"

"As expected of you, Ellie."

Tian Na patted Ai Li's hand on his shoulder and motioned for her to sit down.

"Anyway, as you might have guessed, when I walked out of the thick fog along the river, I saw a medieval-style village. Even their clothes were of a style I had never seen before."

"The villagers there regarded me as a lost traveler, so they welcomed me warmly. Their language was very similar to Old English, so I was more or less able to express my thoughts."

"At first I thought that the village was aboriginal in the forest, but when I saw that the blacksmiths there could light the coal stove with just a snap of their fingers, and the doctor in the village just said to the injured After a few obscure words, the dying person fell into a peaceful sleep, and then within a few days he was alive again."

"It was not until that time that I believed that I had really traveled to an unknown world. But the strange thing is that I didn't panic because I arrived in a completely unfamiliar world, or even because of the stories the village chief told me. Excited about the content.”

"Later, I asked the guards in the village to teach me the most basic fighting skills, and also asked the high priest to teach me the most basic use of magic."

"Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past two years, I have gradually become the strongest person among the younger generation in the village. The mother-in-law who worshiped her also said that after her death, the position of worship will be given to me."

"But I refused. On the night when they celebrated their hunting harvest, I said goodbye to the village chief and once again walked into the night alone."

"It was then that I realized that the small village was just an inconspicuous part of the world. When I followed the path pointed by the village chief and walked out of the forest for the first time, what I saw was nothing like the world before. The scenery that will emerge.”

"The city hanging high in the sky, the waterfall cascading down from the sky island, and the roar of the giant beast that sounds from time to time..."

These scenery touched the young man's heart. At that moment, the boy named Tiannan knew for the first time what his heart was longing for.

From then on, the boy began his true journey.

There is no destination, no plan, maybe it is a whim, or maybe it is a longing heard from others...

……

"Wow, is this the starting point of Ana's journey?"

"That's it."

Tian Na nodded noncommittally. After all, at that time, he seemed to think everything was too simple.

The most indispensable thing in this magical world is all kinds of monsters. Why are there those strange sights? Most of the reason is that those places are dangerous beyond human imagination.

Now that the young man who started traveling has seen the scenery that fascinated him, he can no longer tolerate the mediocre scenery.

"So in order to be able to travel to those dangerous and beautiful places, I started to crazily make myself strong enough to travel to various places alone."

"I even discovered that the power that caused me to travel actually came from myself. After I gradually became proficient in controlling that ability, I traveled to many different worlds."

"Those worlds have their own different scenery. Those scenery and the stories that happen in the world make me extremely intoxicated."

Having said this, Tianan let out a long sigh. Alicia also didn't understand why it seemed that the trip she had been dreaming of seemed so heavy after hearing it from Tian'an's mouth.

As if he saw her doubts, Tianna stretched out his left hand towards Alicia, and then a ball of light full of distortion and ominous aura appeared in his hand. The disturbing feeling made Alicia even frown. He frowned.
