Luo Xiu glanced at Amu beside him and saw that he was looking at him nervously.
The two looked at each other, and Amu spoke up without thinking:
“I refuse, Lord Luo Xiu. I assure you, I have never turned to the second page.”
Amu left quickly, and Luo Xiu turned to the second page of the booklet in his hand. Then, his heart was filled with a turbulent storm.
If you are my junior or junior student, you are likely to be disappointed, because even if you open it, you probably won't understand it.
[If you're one of my senior classmates, that's interesting, because you must have also suffered from learning this kind of language, hahaha]
[But actually, this booklet wasn't written for my senior classmates, nor for my junior classmates.]
The person I want to write to is you.
【May I have your name?】
This is the content of the first page, only a few lines, which looks ordinary and seems to be a girl's ramblings, but Luo Xiu is completely stunned.
Because what's written on it is in Chinese.
Chinese!
Luo Xiu was completely unable to control his trembling hands, nor could he suppress the pounding in his heart.
His heavy breathing echoed throughout the tent, his heart pounding powerfully like a pump.
He turned to the second page.
There are significantly more words on this page.
What would your name be?
The teacher said that your name will definitely contain the character "修" (xiū).
So what should I call him? Shulas? Shugu?
Okay, whatever it is, I hope the word "repair" is at the beginning; that's less common and more interesting.
The teacher said you would save this place. To be honest, when I heard that idea, I wanted to find you and beat you up, because I always thought I would be the one to save this place.
But the teacher also said that I might not succeed, which made me feel a little more at ease.
I asked my teacher what my chances of success were, and he said very, very small.
The teacher said three things were very small, and they really were. So I asked him, "How does your chance of success compare to our chances of success?"
The teacher said it should be much, much, much bigger.
I suddenly feel a little sorry for you.
Because my teacher once said that success comes at a price.
I think we've already worked very hard, but the chances of success are still only a tiny fraction. So you must be working even harder than us.
So I asked my teacher, "What did you sacrifice to achieve success?"
The teacher said, "You spent a long time, did a lot of things, and traveled a very, very long way."
How far does a person have to go to be considered very far? I don't really know, but thank you in advance for working so hard to save this place, even though we may never have met.
Let's borrow a phrase our teacher taught us: "Seeing this letter is like seeing the person in person."
Chapter 236 Diary 2 (Secret Revealed)
[Seeing these words is like seeing the person]
Looking at the familiar Chinese characters on the paper, Luo Xiu's hand holding the booklet trembled slightly.
Although these characters are written crookedly, it is clear that the person who wrote them was not very proficient in the language, but they are indeed Chinese characters.
According to what Selena wrote on the first two pages, these words were taught to her by the [Guide], which means that the previous [Guide] was most likely a time traveler like herself.
Is it possible that every generation of "Guide" is a time traveler?
If all the "Guides" are time travelers, why would they relentlessly help this kingdom escape the land of divine ruin after arriving in this world?
Unlike the ability to become stronger by killing monsters, Tata once told him that the [Guide]'s rank is generally not high and their lifespan is not long, so they probably don't have a stat allocation system like his.
In that case, there must be other driving forces propelling them forward.
Luo Xiu had a clear understanding of his fellow transmigrators; not everyone could be so selfless and compassionate, and there must be some other reason behind it.
He continued flipping through the booklet and found that most of the content was Selena's ramblings, as if she were using the booklet as a diary, recording the events of each day in spoken language and relaying them to Luo Xiu.
It seems she started recording in this booklet not long after she began learning Chinese characters, because the characters in the booklet became more and more neat as she went on. After flipping through the pages, Luo Xiu finally saw what he wanted to see.
A major event happened today.
I've learned a secret about you.
The teacher accidentally let it slip and immediately corrected herself, asking me to pretend I hadn't heard anything, but I ultimately decided to write this secret down.
It's not that I disobeyed the teacher, but I know him too well. His expression when he spoke indicated that this matter wasn't strictly forbidden, so I decided to write it down.
If you are lucky enough to see this booklet, then hopefully this secret can help you.
If you're unlucky, then this secret is simply not for you.
The teacher said he wanted you to know the 'truth' so that his efforts would be meaningful, the experience would be memorable, and the time would leave a lasting mark.
But when I pressed the teacher for an answer, he changed his tune, saying he didn't want me to know the 'truth' so that I could maintain my original intentions and get through this difficult time.
This is the secret I know, but what exactly is the 'truth', I don't know either.
It seems this is all the help I can give you right now.
【come on】
"the truth……"
Luo Xiu murmured to himself, naturally having no clue what the so-called 'truth' was.
But he had a slightly different opinion about this page of Selena's diary.
Selena's diary says that the previous "Introducer" let slip that he initially said he wanted her to know the 'truth,' but when Selena pressed him for details, he changed his story and said he didn't want her to know the 'truth.'
Luo Xiu read this page carefully several times and felt that the "introducer" did not seem to have changed his tune.
Rather, both statements are true.
In other words, if he knew the 'truth,' then the [Guide's] efforts would be meaningful. But if he knew the 'truth,' he might not be able to maintain his original intentions, and thus wouldn't be able to bring Dorrant out of the Land of Gods' Remnants.
This is just one of Luo Xiu's guesses.
Whether it is really as he guessed remains to be seen and requires further verification.
However, Luo Xiu's doubts only grew stronger.
How did the [Leader] foresee his own appearance, and how did he foresee that his name contained the character "Xiu"? Was he summoned from a previous world by the [Leader], or did he use a method similar to prophecy?
How did he know he would definitely save the Kingdom of Dorant? And what was the so-called 'truth', and what was his original intention...?
These questions, like countless threads, were tangling around Luo Xiu's mind. He didn't even realize that his palms were covered in sweat.
Turn a few more pages.
Luo Xiu saw a new turning point.
[Brother Earl has left.]
Our teacher always says that he and I are the two most talented people of our generation, but I know that my talent is still not enough compared to that of my senior, Earl.
He was so dazzling, like the sun in the sky, radiating warmth and brightness every moment.
[I am just the moon. Although we are equally eye-catching in the eyes of others, the real reason why I can attract attention is because I can always stand next to Senior Brother Earl.]
Just as the moon's light comes from the sun.
Now, Senior Brother Earl has left to pursue his opportunity to advance to the sixth rank, while I am still just a pitiful upper-level fourth rank.
I told my teacher that I wanted to leave, but she said it wasn't the right time for me to leave yet.
But I can't wait a moment longer.
I want to go to the battlefield and teach those damned beasts a lesson, and I don't want to always hide under my teacher's wing. I want to prove to my teacher that I am really good enough.
[It's not because of Senior Brother Earl]
After my repeated requests, the teacher finally agreed.
But you know what? I ended up having some regrets, because I'd never seen a teacher like that before.
As the page ended, Luo Xiu looked at the last sentence, "But do you know what?", and realized that Selena was actually still talking to him.
He turned to the next page.
I ran up to the teacher, ready to plead for the third time. I had prepared a whole bunch of reasons, thinking that this time I would definitely get the teacher's permission to go out and explore.
Just as our teacher has told us many times, true knowledge comes from practice.
But strangely enough, the teacher agreed to my request immediately this time.
I think I'll never forget the way my teacher looked today. When I told him I wanted to go out and explore the world, he looked at me quietly. Although he still had that gentle smile on his face, his eyes were filled with sadness.
That kind of sorrow seemed to spread through the air like a damp breeze, much like a wine cellar that has undergone thousands of fermentations. Without the yunniang (sorry, I forgot how to spell this word), it would be absolutely impossible to reach this level.
He looked at me silently, as if this were the last time we would see each other. If I left now, I might only be able to meet him in my memories.
Finally, he smiled gently: "It's alright, Selena. Go if you want to. Haven't you always wanted to see the sea? Go to Rovamp; you'll find the stars and the sea you desire there."
I was so happy at the time that I didn't notice anything unusual about the teacher. Looking back now, I realize something was wrong.
When I left my teacher's residence, he watched me from the window. I don't know how to describe the feeling, but I'm a little sad now. Do you understand this feeling?
Oh, by the way, the teacher also gave me a note.
[The above is a message from my teacher.]
The moon will eventually return to the stars.
Do you think this means the teacher hopes I can fly high in the sky?
Luo Xiu finished reading this page.
A sea breeze blew through the tent flap and onto the back of Luo Xiu's neck, causing a sudden chill to rise in his heart.
