Chapter 397: Chapter 189: Ether and Titanium, welco to Schiper’s—Golden Country!_4
Ronan instinctively took a step back, when the light chuckle of “Schiper” reached his ears.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s greeting you.”
Only then did Ronan make out that the shadow leaping out of the sand pile was a pitch-black dog, but it had no facial features.
It affectionately rubbed against Ronan’s pant leg, and despite its peculiar appearance, it seed quite ta and docile.
Ronan crouched down, trying to stroke the back of the black hound, his touch t with a cool hardness, like that of tal.
The strange black dog seed to enjoy Ronan’s affection, stretching so comfortably that it suddenly opened its mouth wide on its face.
With a mouth resembling shark teeth, it suddenly opened in front of Ronan, which startled him but also made him think of the Giant Magic Box Monster he saw in the chanical Heart Ruins.
The shapes of their mouths were almost identical.
“It seems to like you a lot…”
Schiper chuckled, saying, “Its na is Titanium.”
“Ether?”
Ronan was taken aback by these words, but quickly Schiper corrected him: “It’s Titanium.”
Ronan had read about it in an ancient Wizard Book.
In ancient tis, when the Wizard civilization was just erging and the types of Free Energy Particles in the world had not yet been fully understood by the Wizards, they would routinely refer to those unfamiliar Elents as ‘Ether.’
Once the Wizard system beca fully established, the term ‘Ether’ gradually got left behind and buried in old books.
Ronan wondered if the na “Schiper” gave to the black dog had any connection to the ‘Ether’ he knew about.
But the na also confird Ronan’s prior speculation that the odd black dog might just be a kind of “tal”… life form?
The two humans and one dog continued to wander in the desert.
This ti, they walked for so long that by the ti Ronan turned around and could no longer see even a hint of the shadow of the Golden Apple Tree they’d left behind, Schiper suddenly said, “We’ve arrived.”
Ronan turned sharply around.
And then he saw a majestic, colossal, indescribably magnificent Golden City appear abruptly before his eyes.
For a mont, it felt as though Ronan was struck hard by sothing.
Even though he had prepared himself ntally beforehand, upon seeing the grandeur of the Golden City, he still felt a deep, soul-deep stirring.
“You said… it was just a story, didn’t you?”
Standing atop a tall dune of golden sand, Ronan looked dazedly upon the Golden City before him, murmuring.
Schiper walked past him with a smile, and as he walked, he spoke softly, “Indeed, it is a story.
But I didn’t finish telling it…
Once upon a ti, there was a boy who, when he was very young, heard this tale. A golden seed was planted deep within his heart…”
Schiper stood in front of Ronan, with a faraway look in his eyes as he gazed toward the distant Golden City, with golden light blossoming between his fingers.
“Later on, that seed took root and sprouted, growing bigger and bigger…”
“The boy grew up, he beca capable, and at last…”
Schiper slowly stretched his hand shimring with golden light toward the distance as if trying to grasp sothing.
“He could turn those dayti fantasies into reality, one by one.”
Schiper’s monologue stopped, and it seed his story had finally co to an end.
In a certain mont, Schiper suddenly pulled away from his reminiscences.
He turned abruptly, standing against the backdrop of the Golden City and facing Ronan, he spread his arms wide and smiled with the innocent and bright joy of a child.
He shouted to Ronan, just like the many calls Ronan had heard countless tis before in the Wanxiang Treasure Pearl Space.
He said:
“Successor, welco to… the Golden Country of Schiper!”
