Chapter 358 - Chapter 358 Chapter 357 Could It Be Another Time Travel (25)

Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Could It Be Another Time Travel? (2/5) Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Could It Be Another Time Travel? (2/5) Reaching out, Shao Zifeng lifted the backpack he had coveted for a long time, just as he was about to sit cross-legged on the ground when the little deer stopped him.

The little fellow’s eyes swirled with starlight, and several vines instantly wove together to form a chair.

On the chair’s backrest, some vines entangled, covered with large green leaves and small white flowers.

At this moment, starshine particles in the cave began to gather around, adorning themselves amongst the flowers and leaves.

“Yo~”

The deer circled around the chair, nodding its head in satisfaction.

Then, with a vine, it made a gesture inviting Shao Zifeng to sit.

“Cough, isn’t this a bit too grandiose?” Shao Zifeng sat on the vine-crafted chair, flattered.

Well.

Acceptable.

Very ergonomic.

If this were posted in an online store, it would definitely be a hit, though targeting only female customers clearly was a minus point due to the chair’s lovely appearance.

Sitting in the chair, Shao Zifeng let his thoughts wander aimlessly.

“Yo!”

The deer stepped forward a few paces and lay down, gently resting its small head on his legs and closing its eyes.

Only the occasional twitch of its small ears proved it was still vigilant about its surroundings.

Gently stroking the little deer’s head and inhaling the tranquil floral scent around him, Shao Zifeng grabbed the backpack.

The bag, rather than a backpack, was more similar in style to a crossbody bag.

The backpack wasn’t very large but felt quite weighty when picked up.

The person who sewed this bag must have been a beginner, with a very rough sewing method, simply stitched together with thick thread, without any real technique to speak of.

There was no zipper on the backpack, just a rope made of cowhide that tied it closed.

Shao Zifeng rubbed his hands together, muttered “Luck be with me,” and then carefully opened the rope sealing the opening.

The rough feeling of friction came, the cowhide bag’s opening didn’t deform at all, surprisingly sturdy given the material used.

A somewhat musty smell from inside the bag was instantly masked by the fragrance of flowers.

Shao Zifeng instinctively held his breath and, aided by the starlight on the chair, peered into the bag.

The items inside the bag were neatly stacked, one layer on top of the other.

Brushing away the dust, the first things that caught his eye were several pieces of cracked bread and blackened jerky–edibles from who knows how many years ago. Shao Zifeng casually removed these items and tossed them onto the ground.

The deer sniffed curiously at the food, then cutely sneezed a few times.

Shao Zifeng, amused, patted the deer’s head and continued to reach deeper into the bag.

At that moment, his fingertips touched something cold, and he grasped a flat metal object.

Blue starlight particles flickered as a silver whiskey flask with exquisite patterns came into Shao Zifeng’s hand. This flask was not the kind used in ancient Daya.

Its full name was the “whiskey pocket flask,” also known as a whiskey carry tube, flat in design and easy to carry. It could hold about 200 milliliters of alcohol, so it could be pulled out anytime to relieve cravings. This item was once quite popular in the West.

Although it’s called a whiskey pocket flask, what kind of alcohol to fill it with was up to the individual. However, because it was hard to clean inside, such flasks usually contained spirits.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, the silver flask was oxidized and turned black, barely revealing a hint of its original silver gleam.

Shao Zifeng carefully unscrewed the cap, and a strong smell of alcohol hit him straight in the face.

It had the aroma of fruitwood, and the deer stretched its neck to look, seeming quite interested in the flask.

But after a few more whiffs, Shao Zifeng’s face was flushed, and he quickly screwed the cap back on.

Staring at the pocket flask in his hand, Shao Zifeng frowned and fell into deep thought, his face turning serious.

Since when had he become so delicate, that merely inhaling the scent made him feel tipsy?

Could it be, just like in the legends?

Those who would get drunk eating fish braised with cooking wine?

Just like myself!

What a hassle.

After tossing the whiskey flask to the deer for fun, Shao Zifeng reached into the leather bag once more.

Although it would have been better to just pour everything out, Shao Zifeng really enjoyed this kind of gambling thrill.

This time he touched two items.

When he pulled them out, one was a cowhide water bladder stitched with gold thread, its wooden stopper adorned with silver filigree.

The other was a wooden box, which upon opening, revealed it to be filled with small cigars.

Shao Zifeng didn’t know much about cigars, and had no idea if they were still good to smoke after such a long time.

But if he gave them to Cang Haiyuan, that guy might be very pleased.

The deer took the items handed over by Shao Zifeng, wrapped in vines, looked at them, and then neatly laid them on the ground.

From these goods, it was evident that the owner of the bag must have lived a life of considerable quality.

“Huh.”

There was even a notebook, Shao Zifeng had just picked it up when a spot of light in the corner of his eye suddenly quivered.

Shao Zifeng instantly perked up, forgetting about the notebook.

He propped open the leather bag, swept away the dust at the bottom, and a short sword-like object appeared before his eyes.

Beyond the short sword, there was also a purse at the very bottom, which he decided to take out as well.

Setting the notebook and purse aside, Shao Zifeng picked up the short sword that emitted a reactive energy and gently brushed the dust off it.

The sword was about thirty centimeters long, with its hilt, guard, and scabbard all made of pure silver.

The scabbard was intricately carved with large, ornate floral patterns, topped with a sparkling and translucent ruby, while the guard was carved to resemble the head of a snake with its mouth wide open, its gemstone eyes blazing red and greedy as if wanting to Devour the ruby on the scabbard.

The snake body Entangled around the handle, and its tail rested on the cross at the top of the blade, creating an overall look that was beautiful and full of religious connotation.

The only imperfection was that, like the whiskey flask, it was slightly blackened due to oxidation.

Shao Zifeng grasped the hilt and gently pulled it out.

The blade, shimmering with cold light, was silently drawn out.

The sword was slender and unlike traditional blades, tapered down from the guard to a point, like a long and narrow isosceles triangle.

Large ornate floral patterns were also carved on the blade, with a phrase in English inscribed in the center.

A screen of light slowly unfurled before Shao Zifeng.

[Name]: The Glory of the Karen family

[Attribute]: Light

[Quality]:

[Condition]: Intact

[Effect]: Evil Breaking: Applies ‘Soul Burning’ status to targets with Dark/Ghost-like attributes.

[Description]: The ancestors of the Karen family distinguished themselves in the witch-hunting campaign, and the church, to recognize their contribution, crafted this Enchanted short sword as a reward. At the request of the Karen family’s ancestor, the Archbishop personally inscribed ‘The Glory of the Karen family’ on the blade as the sword’s name.

‘Witch-hunting campaign’

‘Enchantment’

‘Church’

These familiar yet foreign terms combined together gave Shao Zifeng a surreal sense of illusion.

In the damp and shadowy Underground Cave, Shao Zifeng sat frowning on a vine-woven chair.

‘The Glory of the Karen family’ glinted with cold light under the starshine.

Shao Zifeng examined the short sword filled with Western fantasy style, his mind flooded with various question marks.

This script doesn’t seem quite right.

Could it be that I’ve traveled through time again?
