Chapter 106: Home (2) The Heart of the Ocean

In 1912, it was freezing rain in London in March.The gray sky, the gray Thames, the gray stone roads lined with dark shops of all sizes.

A bright red Ford sedan passed through the middle of the road, its loud horn shattering the sound of the rain.

In the car, a well-dressed young man with a shiny back comb adjusted his bow tie. He frowned and scanned the newspaper headlines, "Coal Miners Strike!" ", "The Socialist Party Protests the Atrocities of the Capitalists and Demands a Minimum Wage! "Can't help but let out a sneer.When I turned the page and saw "Suffragettes Created Chaos in West London Street", I shook my head contemptuously.

"Current affairs are really no fun at all." The young man sighed while skipping the news about "Northern Bay Earthquake, Fishermen Captured Sea Monster" and "The Duke of Arda Suspectedly Owning a Mysterious Fleet".

His driver was a white male in a black suit, about 50 years old, who was also his housekeeper.Mr. Steward glanced back in the rearview mirror and said,

"Perhaps you can look at the fourth edition. They say there's an auction the day after tomorrow."

"Oh?" Carl Hockley flipped to the fourth page, flicked the headline with his slender fingers,

The grand finale of the "London Auction" was revealed to be the legendary cursed gem, the Heart of the Ocean! "

"That's kind of interesting," he said with interest.

"Curse the gem? It really is a woman's imagination. I blame the failure of my marriage and acting career on the gem, as if there is no curse, Duke Francis will not leave an old woman."

Joey, the housekeeper who was driving, smiled restrainedly, cheering for his master.Carl didn't stop talking,

"Duke Francis is also amazing. Marrying an actress, how shocking his previous love story is, it is estimated that only those new upstarts in New York can understand his taste."

As he spoke, he smiled arrogantly as if he had expressed some insight.

In fact, Carl Hockley has always firmly believed in one thing, that is, a successful man cannot be dazzled by beauty, no matter how many lovers he has, his wife must be of noble birth and be on the stage.He has always been secretly shameless to marry a nobleman who is a female celebrity like Duke Francis.

As the heir to a steel tycoon in the United States, his purpose in coming to England this time is to marry a lady of noble birth. If she can be young and beautiful, then everyone will be happy.

He read with relish the cursed story about the heart of the ocean compiled in the newspaper, and inadvertently thought of the pair of blue eyes he saw at the reception just now.Carl had a determined smile on his face.

But at this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the streets of London, and the raindrops hit the car windows densely. Several large black umbrellas belonging to pedestrians on the street were overturned by the strong wind, and the black umbrellas were blown into the middle of the road by the wind, and the car had to be stopped. down.

"Di!"

Loud honking, exclamation, and howling wind ran through the long street, and Carl Hockley leaned forward because of the sudden braking.

"Damn!" He couldn't help shouting, and when he sat up straight again, he looked out viciously again.

However, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the strong wind, and the remaining clouds accumulated together. From a distance, it seemed like an isolated island floating in the sky!And there is a huge tree growing on that island!

Carl was shocked!But when he took a closer look, the "trees" had been scattered by the wind into irregular "sheep flocks".Immediately afterwards, the isolated island also became an irregular sea of ​​clouds.

It turned out to be a mistake.Only then did he withdraw his gaze from the sky in a state of uncertainty, and when he saw a Mediterranean passerby chasing his hat in a panic on the street, he showed a proud smile again.

"Damn the weather, let's go back quickly." Carl said,

"Okay, sir!" the butler Joey said immediately.

Then the beeping whistle sounded again.

At this time, in an alley in London, a figure suddenly appeared on the wet stone steps.

The raindrops poured down densely all over the sky, and when they were about to touch the hair of the figure, they were blocked by a huge black umbrella.

Qiao Yunzhou grabbed a black umbrella from the space to block the raindrops, but didn't notice that it was the same umbrella that Sam gave her back then.She scanned the surroundings with mental power, and found that there was no one here, so she exhaled lightly.

This time from the Bazaar World to the Transit World, everything went smoothly.

Although the registrants of the transfer world seemed to be confirmed dead, the only space-time channel was functioning well.The deserted island walked smoothly in the space-time passage, and the few accidents that Qiao Yunzhou paid special attention to before leaving did not happen until he reached the destination!

She originally thought that the exit of the space-time passage would be built in a place with a large area and few people. After all, the exit of the time-space passage in most worlds is relatively hidden.Unexpectedly, the exit of Transit World turned out to be in a bustling city.

Continuous rain, industrial pollution, bad air!

All this is simply not too familiar!

And the deserted island rushed out of the passage without any precautions. Fortunately, the mental power she released felt wrong, and the protective cover that had been placed on the island before also began to warn. A city in this world directly collides!

"Huh, this is really exciting!" Qiao Qing sighed loudly on her wrist.

A master and a servant looked up to the sky.

The desert island was just above London, above the thick re-gathering clouds.Due to leaving the passage too suddenly, Qiao Yunzhou only had time to hide the island, making the island float above the top of the city in an instant, at a high altitude that even planes could not reach, so there was no "car accident".

And as soon as she arrived in this world, the ID card flashed to remind her that there are messages and fixed-point missions left by the space-time channel owner and the world authority registrant in this city, please ask Qiao Yunzhou to check.

Generally, the owners of the space-time channel will provide some cheap information and disguise their identities to the customers who buy the way at the exit.Fixed-point missions are rare. This kind of mission can only be received within a certain space-time coordinates. Most of them are material collection and purchase.

Qiao Yunzhou checked the camouflage above the desert island, and decisively chose yes.

Although she is just passing by, the space-time passage to the next world will only open when the moon is full, so she will stay in this world for a few days to wait for the passage to open.During this period of time, she can just use it to find the heart of the ocean and learn about the transit world.After all, as a necessary transfer point between the market and his hometown, Qiao Yunzhou is sure that he will come here again in the future, and it is always beneficial to know more about it.

Then the green light of the ID card passed through the clouds and fell straight into an alley in London.

Qiao Yunzhou followed the guidance of the green light to the alley.Her mental power turned around the whole city, and she stopped for a while on the rain-soaked newspaper in the corner, and she couldn't help but sigh, "It's London again, I really have a destiny with England."

I lived in England for a long time in the HP world, and now I am in the New World, and I have settled down in this London again.

"But the timing should be different." Thinking of the date in the newspaper, Qiao Yunzhou smiled.

At this time, the light on the ID card flickered, and it shone straight to the end of the alley.

Qiao Yunzhou turned around and found that a wall at the end of the alley was slowly melting in the green light.

An old villa appeared behind the wall.The green light shone directly on the dark red gate of the villa, leaving a trace of a palm-sized leaf there.Then, the leaf instantly grew bigger, and a paragraph of words suddenly appeared on the door.Qiao Yunzhou read slowly,

"Fixed-point task: Anne Hockley, the registrant of this world, left a last wish before her death, requesting the passing space-time contractors to hand over the financial assets left by Anne Hockley to her descendants, Williams Hockley, and eliminate the descendants The curse of doom on Cal Hockley.

Space-time contractors who fulfill their wishes will automatically receive the right to register in this world, a 5% discount on the purchase of time-space channels, and a small map of the cursed gem deposits in the Heart of the Ocean provided by Anne Hockley.

Assignment Posted by: Anne Hockley

Supervising party: Space-time Contractor Bazaar, Space-Time Inspection Team.

Do you accept the task? "

Qiao Yunzhou was surprised, "The mineral map of the heart of the ocean?"

I really do whatever I want.

And Qiao Qing had already shouted happily, "Master, accept it."

Qiao Yunzhou also thought it was good.Handing over the inheritance and removing the curse, the former is very simple, but the latter is a bit difficult, but she still has a few lucky star roses and the potion to remove the curse from the HP world, so she can really give it a try.

And if she can buy the registration right and space-time channel of this transit world, it will be more convenient for her to go back and forth between her hometown and the market.

So Qiao Yunzhou asked, "After the 5% discount, how many energy stones are the world registration rights and space-time channels here?"

The ID card flashed again, and said, "20 high-level standard energy stones after discounting the world registration right, and 12 high-level standard energy stones after discounting the space-time channel."

"It adds up to 32 high-level energy stones." She pondered for a while.With the bonus from the previous market, she can afford the money,

"accept!"

As soon as the voice fell, a string of keys inserted in the lock suddenly appeared on the dark red door.id say,

"The task has been accepted. The publisher will give away a real estate in this world, a set of disguised identities, and a pair of Hockley family descendant locating instruments for free. The legacy of Anne Hockley is located in the study."

Qiao Yunzhou, "There is also a locator? This is convenient."
