Chapter 1 01: First Arrival (Revised)
The air smelled of damp earth and the strong body odor of animals.

Chi Qingsui woke up groggy, her blurred vision gradually focused on the scorched yellow thatched roof.

At the same time, the numbness from the forehead became more intense.

She subconsciously reached out to touch it.The moment his fingertips touched his forehead, intense pain swept through his body.

The girl who was still in a daze last second took a deep breath and woke up completely.

As the vision gradually became clearer, Chi Qingsui realized that he was sitting on a pile of messy straw, wearing a thin long linen shirt.

This is clearly not what she should be wearing.

And on the finger that touched his forehead just now, there was a bright red blood stain.

She reacted quickly: her head was hurt, possibly seriously.

But everything here is so strange-stone houses, thatched roofs, and cattle and sheep walking leisurely not far away.

Even the clothes on his body, and this body.

Chi Qingsui can be sure that he has never been here before.Last night, she just slept in the bedroom normally, and she definitely didn't run around.

Just as she lowered her head in thought, the sound of metal clashing and arguing came from outside the house.

"Master Knight! Please forgive me, my daughter is wounded, and she has only her last breath left, so she cannot go on the road!"

"Shut up! Serfs who can't even pay the poll tax still want to negotiate terms? If it weren't for Lord Slade's protection, you would have died in a foreign land long ago!"

Strangely enough, these quarreling voices were not in any language she knew well, yet she could understand what they were saying.

But after hearing the word "foreign land", Chi Qingsui felt an inexplicable sense of urgency and anxiety.

In the next second, a flood of information flooded in, almost tearing her head in half.

She clutched her head in pain, struggling to sort out the information pouring into her mind.

This was originally medieval Europe.

300 years ago, a sudden change occurred on this continent.Something called "curse" spread rapidly, turning all places into forbidden areas for life.

The thing happened too suddenly, and people lacked the means to fight against it. For a while, there were countless casualties.

Millions died in the first three days.

And many more people lost their precious lives and turned into cold corpses within just a few minutes of the curse appearing.

Just when the remaining people had all but given up hope, the first lords appeared.

They built barriers that could resist curses in their respective territories, and called the areas full of curses outside the barriers foreign lands.

Since then, people who want to survive have turned to lords everywhere.

Once someone offends the lord, he will be expelled from the territory, which is equivalent to the death penalty.

The overwhelming pain in my head finally subsided gradually.

Curse, lord, foreign land...

These words, which are completely unfamiliar to her, make up this strange world.

It's also clearly a more dangerous world.

Before the girl could finish digesting these contents, the sound of the wooden door being pushed open came from next to her ear.

What came in turned out to be a few soldiers in armor.They came in menacingly, with sabers of similar size hanging around their waists, and the medieval wind armor on their bodies made a crisp sound with their steps.

The leading soldier was a middle-aged man with the deep facial features of a Westerner.With a calm expression and beard on his face, coupled with a tall and burly figure, he looks calm and majestic.

Beside him, there was a middle-aged peasant woman with a timid expression.

The man stepped forward and looked down at Chi Qingsui who was sitting on the ground.

"Is this what you said was your last breath?"

This sentence was obviously addressed to the women on the side.

Sensing the anxiety in his tone, the woman panicked instantly: "Master Knight, Angie has been in a coma before, we thought she wouldn't be able to survive today."

Before she could continue, the man called the knight waved his hands impatiently and looked at Chi Qingsui.

"You, get up and come with us."

"it is good."

At this time, Chi Qingsui was feeling irritated by the information flooding into his mind before, so he simply gave up thinking and responded casually.

The girl's overly calm face and overly crisp answer made the two soldiers who were exercising their muscles and bones ready to forcibly take her away froze.

And the peasant woman couldn't help but widen her eyes.She hurriedly approached Chi Qingsui, deliberately lowering her voice.

"Angie, didn't you say before that you would not go to Lord Lord's castle even if you died?"

Under the worried gaze of the woman, Chi Qingsui stood up easily, and patted the dust on his clothes casually.

"Do I have another choice?"

With her mortal body, it is unrealistic to fight one against three.

Under the sharp urging of the knight, Chi Qingsui ignored the depressed woman, but silently followed the three soldiers and walked out together.

At the same time, she glanced at the stone wall beside her.There was a piece of fresh blood that hadn't solidified, which was obviously left on purpose by someone.

Chi Qingsui recorded this detail calmly, sighed silently, and stepped out of the room with the soldiers.

--------

Unlike the damp and stuffy inside, the air outside the farmhouse is dry and fresh.

It was after the autumn harvest.A large piece of golden straw fell on the field, bathed in the bright afternoon sun, so brilliant that it was dizzying.

Chi Qingsui followed the soldiers to the other side of the field.There, three sorrel horses were parked.

There are three bulging sacks hanging on each of them, which should be the tax in kind handed over to the lord by the farmers from all over the place and the entanglement of the soldiers.

One of the sacks was full of energy, not only struggling crazily, but also constantly making muffled crowing sounds.

This guy was so noisy that the leading knight couldn't bear it anymore and punched it a few times through the sack.

After hastily ending the farce, a group of four set off immediately, heading towards the distant forest.

With the gallop of the horse, the unfamiliar and familiar scenery swept back quickly.A hazy feeling of nostalgia began to emerge in Chi Qingsui's heart.

This kind of emotion seemed to trigger some mechanism, making the memories that did not belong to her emerge clearly.

The owner of the memory is a 15-year-old girl named Angie.And the place they are leaving now is her familiar hometown - a remote village called Grand Village.

The woman who tried to stop the knight was Angie's mother.

Other memories are fragmented—the final image is of a spinning world, endless darkness, and a sense of receding agony.

This fits well with Angie's mother's description that Angie would not go to the lord's castle even if she died.

Chi Qingsui looked at his body.These white hands, which obviously did not belong to her, were still stained with blood from the wound on her forehead, forming an obvious connection with the blood-stained stone wall.

Most likely, the original owner of this body couldn't think about it, so he slammed his head against the wall, and something happened...

In addition, there are obviously some basic memories left in the girl's body.Because of this, Chi Qingsui can use the language here proficiently, and even remember the common sense of this world from time to time.

Just when Chi Qingsui was trying to recall more details, the pleasant conversation of the soldiers interrupted her train of thought.

"Master Scott, where are we going to spend the night today?"

"This ruined village is too remote." The knight behind complained. "I've looked at the map and we won't pass through any towns on our way to Kent, but a little village called Bruce."

Using "Kent County" as the key word, a new memory emerged in Chi Qingsui's mind.

That is the most prosperous place in the Groskland economy, and it is also the city where the lord is located.

But then, why would Angie rather bang his head against a wall than go to the lord's castle?

The corner of Chi Qingsui's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he thought that the head of this body was still injured, and it was still a little chilly under the wind.

At this time, they have come to the depths of the forest.

Looking around, there are dense and tall oak trees on the left and right sides, covering the sky and the sun, causing the temperature here to be slightly lower than the outside world.

The three horses galloped along the narrow dirt path, making the sound of their hooves clattering.

At this moment, an accident happened.

The horse that was galloping just a second ago stopped suddenly, neighed loudly, and raised its front hooves sharply, almost throwing Chi Qingsui and the knight off the horse's back together!
"what's the situation!"

The knight's roar was completely covered by the horse's cry that resounded through the sky.

Since the horses the two of them were riding were at the forefront of the team, the sudden sudden brake directly brought the whole team to a standstill.

Fortunately, the two soldiers behind them also stopped the horse in time, otherwise it would have turned into a large stampede scene.

"Master Scott, what happened?"

Faced with the soldiers' inquiries, the knight was also at a loss.He said a few perfunctory words, got off the horse, and began to carefully observe the situation of the horse's hoof and the ground.

At this moment, Chi Qingsui suddenly realized that the chicken that had been struggling in the sack did not know when it calmed down.

The warm yellow sun in the afternoon turned into cold light without knowing when.

A chill ran up her spine.

Chi Qingsui's pupils trembled at the moment his gaze fell to the ground.

A pool of pitch-black liquid was slowly crawling out from the shadow of the forest, creeping towards their position.

curse.

The word came to her mind.

Before she had time to think about it, her body exerted all her strength, grabbed the knight who was still under the horse, and ordered loudly:

"Get on the horse! It's too late to explain!"
