Chapter 1368: Help Across Dimensions
"Nip Nip! Nowalu, come here quickly, isn't this the commander we haven't seen for a long time!"
"Neptune, don't make trouble. How could the commander... Huh!? Is he really the commander?!"
I don't know how much time had passed, but Lin Lan suddenly heard the energetic voice of a girl talking next to her ears.
Maybe I close my eyes for a second, maybe a minute, or maybe a year.
In short, he felt as if he had regained some consciousness from the chaos.
"How did the commander travel across dimensions? And he's not in a good state... Neptune, please contact Beru and Bran quickly. The commander needs our help!"
Accompanied by the familiar low voice of a girl, Lin Lan's consciousness fell into a deep sleep again.
But for some reason, he felt that the four names Neptune, Novalu, Belu and Bran were very familiar to him.
…
I don’t know how much time has passed.
"Wow! Commander, wake up, wake up! You, why did you show up in my bed!"
Another noisy and familiar girl's voice awakened his consciousness, but Lin Lan almost instantly heard that this girl's voice did not belong to the four names last time.
Along with the sound of the door opening, a gentle and elegant voice sounded from a girl who was slightly sleepy and had just woken up:
"Lysa, the passage from our world to the Commander's Port has not yet been restored. I also know that you want Commander, but it will be very painful if you make such a noise so early in the morning... Commander?"
"Look, look! Clodia, what a commander!"
"That's not the point! The commander must be in big trouble like this. I, I'll contact other people in the Chamber of Commerce. You take care of the commander first."
The two girls seemed to have decided on something quickly, and Clodia quickly left at the door.
Before his consciousness fell into darkness again, he heard Lysa's confident voice ringing in his ears:
"Commander, everyone and I will definitely try our best to help you with alchemy.
"So you have to keep this commission fee in mind until we come back to you again..."
In the reassuring voice of the girl approaching him, Lin Lan's consciousness disappeared again.
…
"Ah! It's Commander. Although I don't know what happened, since you have come to Kizunai, it means you must need help. I will use the power of the virtual world to help you!"
"Remember to say hello to Santiago-chan for me. Kizuna Ai will definitely come to Minato and hold another lively virtual concert!"
…
"Chise-chan, go and ask Akane and Raccoon to come here quickly. The commander needs their help."
"Okay princess! But Rikka, Minami, and Miss Namiko..."
"Contact them as well, as soon as possible."
…
"Something is going wrong! Miss Yukibugui, Miss Ikaruga, Yukiizumi-chan!"
"Why are you in such a panic, Miss Bird, you are too impatient and reckless, please calm down."
"Huh? Miss Asuka, why do you smell like a commander on your body?"
"Snow, Snow Spring-chan, Commander, Commander, he..."
…
"Mary! You said the commander came to our world, where are the others?!"
"Don't worry, Miss Honoka and Miss Luna. I, I have asked Sister Helena to send the commander to the best hospital under DOATEC. Sister Tamaki, Nyotengu, and Kasumi are all accompanying the commander."
…
Lin Lan's consciousness was repeatedly awakened from nothingness by familiar and friendly voices, making Lin Lan confused about what was going on.
But every time he briefly regained consciousness, he kept etching one thing into the bottom of his consciousness.
I am the commander...
He is the commander.
I am the commander!
…
Carlo Village in the southern part of the continent of Saint Rosolon's teaching country is a rural village adjacent to the South Wind Plains and far away from any large towns.
Nearly a hundred villagers have lived here for generations.
One of the two most conspicuous buildings in the village is the ancient chapel in the center of the village.
This small church stood in the center of the village long before many of the villagers of Kalo were born.
It is said that there used to be a priest resident in the church, who would often bring miracles from the gods to the villagers.
But as the number of miracles gradually became less and less, the Holy Light Church gradually stopped sending priests to such small villages.
As a result, the church lost its original role.
Only when monsters or goblins attack, the villagers will drag their families and hide in the church, use the terrain to defend themselves, and wait for dawn.
The second conspicuous building in the village is a hotel built in the past two years at the call of the village chief to accommodate foreign traders and mercenaries.
That's right.
The remote Carlo Village, which was originally extremely difficult to defend against goblins, finally became lively with the appearance of the entrance to the dungeon maze in the South Wind Plains.
Even the lord of Carlo Village, who originally belonged to Carlo Village but had never appeared in Carlo Village, Earl Conard, sent a team of guards from the castle to stay in the village to collect taxes from mercenaries and traders.
This also allows the villagers who have been infested by monsters and goblins to finally live a peaceful life for two years.
The dungeon maze is an ancient ruins with randomly opened entrances in the Teaching Kingdom.
In these dungeon mazes, there are always various treasure chests, which contain lost alchemy and spell-casting materials, or rare weapons with ancient magic, or potions that can increase a person's strength...
In the taverns in each city, there are always some rumors of getting rich overnight and becoming a powerful person, which are talked about by mercenaries.
However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks.
The treasures in the dungeon maze are not easily obtained by anyone.
In these dungeon mazes that were created not long ago, there are often guardians with exaggerated strength stationed on each floor.
Or monsters, or undead, or ancient magic creations and foreign kings who are hiding and dormant in them.
Compared with the rumors of lucky people who have conquered the maze or got the treasure with great luck, there are more sighs and sighs in the taverns about the tragic annihilation of a certain well-known mercenary group in a maze somewhere.
However, these news are not worth paying attention to for the villagers of Carlo Village.
During this period, they found that fewer and fewer mercenaries came to Carlo Village.
Even the guards of the lord have basically withdrawn, leaving only the oldest, white-haired fourth-level warrior responsible for collecting taxes.
After repeated inquiries by the village chief and villagers, the villagers learned a bad news.
It turned out that the underground maze of the South Wind Plain was in the past two weeks. All the mercenary groups that entered it were attacked by explosions of unknown reasons and suffered heavy losses.
If it was just that, it would be fine.
But the mercenaries who entered the underground maze and continued to enter the lower level found that the treasure chests around the original guardian had all disappeared.
This news has been spread to the nearest main city where the lord is located, and many mercenary groups have completely lost interest in this maze in the South Wind Plain.
Even the Mercenary Association has revised the maze rating, defining it as a maze with A-level difficulty and not recommending strategy.
It is said that there are also mercenary group mages who said that they sensed the evil breath of paganism in the maze.
Although this news has not been confirmed by the association and the church, it is enough to make all mercenary groups stay away from the maze in the South Wind Plain.
This sudden change made the villagers of Carlo Village look worried for the past two days, and they were worried about the goblin group and the monster attack again.
Of course, there were also many young villagers who were very angry.
Those mercenaries only boasted about how powerful they were, but they were unwilling to help them with such a small favor as destroying the goblin nest.
But what the villagers of Carlo Village didn't know was that at this time, two big figures from the church were rushing here without stopping.
