Chapter 3: The Quest for the Indivisible

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

This is not normal! You must understand that this is an alternate world, with two moons, griffins, and unicorns, filled with fantastical colors, and it is not at all like ancient Earth

For Lanling, the greatest aspiration on Earth is merely to marry his sister and move into a larger new house. It is important to note that the housing price in his city is 40,000 per square meter

What is also different are their outfits: one is clad in a black tight leather suit, while the other wears a red tight leather suit. However, the figures of the two individuals are identical, both possessing curves that are almost devilish. Even on Earth, it is rare to encounter such a devilish physique, with supermodel long legs, astonishing peaks, a serpentine waist, and remarkably rounded and perky hips, making it utterly impossible to look directly at them

Indeed... the breath of the woman in black became rapid, and then the curved dagger in her hand sliced through the air like lightning

The woman in red anxiously said: "You must speak quickly; as long as you can speak the Common Tongue, it means you are not a barbarian, and I will not kill you."

I did not expect that her alluring and captivating figure was filled with such immense strength

"Where is your home? Why are you here?" the woman in black asked

The woman in black said, "Since I saved your life, you should repay me, right?"

Lanling could see clearly that the person lying here looked very much like him, at least an eighty percent resemblance, though he was much more handsome. In terms of physique, the height appeared to be almost identical to his own.

I... I do not know where home is. " Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and said, he came from another world, so it was truly difficult to explain his origins

Three horses and one cart raced swiftly, drawing ever closer to Lanling, who lay on the ground, his fate uncertain. The sky was dim and unclear, and as they were about to step on Lanling, it was certain that if he were to be trampled, he would undoubtedly meet his demise

She began to entice Lanling with wealth and power, but Lanling was hardly swayed. His mind was now solely focused on one thing: to find any means to return to his sister's side to protect and care for her

Having said that, her curved dagger was aimed directly at Lanling's neck.

We are the vassal samurai of the Sosh family. Our master, Count Soron, has passed away, and the young lady has instructed us to search for the young master Soren in the Tianmo Mountain Range to inherit the title. However, all we found was his corpse. The woman in black said: "Thus, we traveled a great distance to transport the coffin back to the Count's residence in the royal city, only to encounter you, barely clinging to life, along the way"

The woman in black said: "Lanling, although I do not know your identity, it should be evident that you do not come from a wealthy family and have lived a rather difficult and impoverished life, am I correct?"

"I am not a barbarian, who are you?" Lanling inquired

They place such great importance on this carriage, unaware of what is inside it

Lanling only felt a sudden chill on his face, the light of blades flashing chaotically before him, and then the disheveled beards fell away, revealing a smooth face.

Upon seeing Lanling awaken, the black-clad woman placed her curved dagger directly against his neck and coldly said: "Speak, say something"

The younger sister walked up to Lanling and said: "What if he is not a barbarian? Let us first wake him up and see if he can speak the language of the Central Plains. If he can, we will not kill him"

At this moment, Lanling discovered that there was actually a coffin on the carriage, and what the two sisters had been escorting all along was this coffin

The woman in black said: "Barbarians who eat human flesh and drink blood should all be killed"

Lanling was truly astonished; after crossing over into the world of strange and *illustrated* books, there was actually someone who looked so much like him, and moreover, he was already dead

With a long cry, the steed galloping beneath her was abruptly halted by her, its hooves raised high as it came to a stop

"Sister, please don't." The younger sister quickly jumped down and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

At this moment, the two twin female warriors were completely stunned, gazing in disbelief at Lanling's face

I am not a barbarian" Lanling quickly interjected

Lanling is about to be trampled to death by a towering horse.

The woman in black continued, "Do you know how large Tianshui City is? It spans an area of five hundred miles, with a population of five hundred thousand and an army of twenty thousand. If you agree to my request, not only will you become a count of the kingdom, but this entire estate will completely belong to you"

Lanling already knew what he wanted to say, and for a moment, he did not know how to respond

Lanling organized his words in his mind, and after he had thought them through, he spoke: "Ladies, although I come from humble beginnings, I wish to be myself, rather than a vassal or a puppet, nor do I wish to impersonate anyone, even if that person is a thousand times more affluent than I am"

The woman in black did not speak, but pointed to the side of Lanling

The scimitar of the woman in black suddenly came to a halt, as she looked at Lanling with some astonishment

This matter came as a complete surprise. Lanling opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words. After a while, he finally said: "Although I resemble him, we are not identical; the differences can still be discerned."

However... however... Lan Ling wanted to refuse in her heart, yet she did not know what to say.

The woman in the red dress said, "Sister, just say a word and it can be proven."

Despite the desolate mountains being devoid of any presence, the female warrior's demeanor was still filled with vigilance and alertness, her eyes resembling cold stars, wielding a curved blade, her entire being akin to that of a she-leopard, poised to spring into action at any moment

Lanling nodded

The woman in black fell silent for a moment and said: "Lanling, life is the most precious thing for everyone, and I believe it is no exception for you, is it?"

Not only does the voice resemble that of the young master, but even the appearance is quite similar, sister said

"Alright, sister, be careful." The two were indeed twin sisters, and the younger sister also drew her curved dagger to guard the carriage

The woman in black said, "No, the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range has countless mysterious ruins, which are extremely dangerous"

Another woman in a red leather outfit, with her delicate hands, managed to firmly grasp two fine horses; one was the one she was riding, and the other was the one pulling the carriage. The carriage behind, due to inertia, continued to rush forward, but it was also halted by her other hand.

The woman in black said: "He was unaware of the vastness of the world and pursued Princess Zhi Ning, only to suffer unprecedented humiliation and setbacks. Consequently, he left the royal city to seek solace in the Tianmo Mountain Range, where he ultimately met his demise"

Lanzhou." Lanzhou replied.

The woman in black approached Lan Ling, first placing her curved dagger against his neck, then checking his breath. Noticing his disheveled hair and beard, and his clothing resembling that of a sack, presenting the appearance of a wild man, she immediately frowned and said: "He is a savage, on the verge of death; it would be better to kill him directly."

How did your young master die?" Lan Ling asked

The woman in black said, "Rest assured, I have a way to make your appearance exactly like his."

30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters

The woman in black fixed her gaze on Lanling and said, "You, say another word, anything will do."

What do you mean by what you said?" Lanling inquired

"Sister, stay by the carriage and do not move," the woman in black commanded, then drew her curved dagger and leaped off her steed, heading towards Lanling.

Although it was already dark at this time, the woman in black leather discovered Lanling lying in the middle of the road. She suddenly became alert, pulled the reins, and stopped her steed

"Sister, I told you he is not a barbarian; his Common Speech is even more standard than ours," said the woman in red.

It is unknown how long has passed, but Lanling quietly awakened.

The woman in black was taken aback, not expecting Lan Ling to refuse such a seemingly grand opportunity. She looked at Lan Ling earnestly, confirming the truth of his words, then revealed a hint of admiration in her gaze, and slowly said: "I appreciate your thoughts; you are a proud person. So, how do you intend to repay my life-saving grace?"

Having said that, the woman in black directly lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing the corpse inside

Having said that, she had already helped Lanling to his feet, circulating her dragon energy to clear the blood vessels in his chest, and then she placed a pill into his mouth, which he swallowed with water

... ...

The woman in black said: "The young master Sauron, whom I have asked you to impersonate, is the sole heir of the Count's estate. The Suo family is not only a noble of the kingdom but has also been a hereditary lord for two hundred years, ruling over Tianshui City for generations."

Is this, is this the will of heaven? Does heaven not wish to annihilate my Su family?

Due to the influence of a certain medication, the body was preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of decay

This Sauron was born as the heir to this legacy, truly born with a golden key, but unfortunately died young

Lanling grew up relying on her sister, and initially, it was indeed very difficult. Later, as her sister earned a bit more money, and after Lanling worked part-time while attending university, their lives improved somewhat. Among her classmates in university, it is true that she came from the poorest family.

The carriage protected by the two individuals is long and large, drawn by two fine horses, yet it does not appear very luxurious

After hearing the second sentence spoken by Lanling, the younger sister also looked at Lanling in astonishment and said: "Sister, he... he sounds very much like the young master."

"Indeed, it is a barbarian. Die!" The woman in black said coldly, as she raised her curved blade to strike down.

"What is your name?" asked the woman in black.

Languages of the world are certainly different, yet this woman speaks Chinese. What could be the reason for this? Could it be a coincidence? Such coincidences do not occur.

At this moment, I found myself in a carriage, and what caught my eye were two identical beautiful faces. The only difference was in their gazes: one was cold and sharp, while the other was innocent and romantic

Sister, be careful, there are people on the road

The woman in black said: "Indeed, you must repay my life-saving grace. Therefore, I want you to impersonate the young master Sauron and go to the royal city to inherit the title."

Lianling Road: "Was he killed by someone?"

Lanling's heart skipped a beat, not because he was particularly moved by this wealth, but rather due to the astonishment at the enormity of this estate. With a radius of five hundred li, that amounts to over fifty thousand square kilometers, equivalent to two or three prefecture-level cities in China. This is truly an immense fortune; even the richest person on Earth does not possess such wealth and power.

It is said that Lanling is undoubtedly doomed. This is because he is an Earthling and does not speak any Middle-earth language at all

However... the so-called Middle-earth language they spoke was exactly the same as Chinese. Although there were slight variations in accent, Lanling easily discerned every word.
