Chapter 413 - 322: The Curious Adventures of Old Barak and His Granddaughter

"Grandpa, can’t your location tracking be more accurate?"

Looking at the bustling metropolis of steel and concrete, with hundred-meter-tall buildings everywhere, severely obstructing her view and exploration, Alola rubbed her temples in frustration once again.

"Your grandpa only learned the Teleportation Gate when I was an Undead, being able to accurately locate in this world is already an exceptional performance. What’s more, I’ve already pinpointed the correct city, rather than somewhere tens of thousands of miles away in the mountains. I think I’m pretty amazing; asking me to accurately position right next to Xue, that Grandpa really can’t manage!"

Old Barak really couldn’t do this. He himself was a Holy Knight, more of a warrior type, and when it came to magic chanting, he was at best an amateur, even now.

Being able to successfully locate in Jiang City through the phone Xue Dili gave him, instead of ending up halfway across the world in Boston, Old Barak felt he was already quite impressive.

Any higher demands, he simply couldn’t fulfill. He had even feared that they might accidentally arrive outside the planet, considering turning into armor form to shield his granddaughter.

Alola felt even more at a loss. In this world which was completely unfamiliar to her, her grandfather, who originally seemed so reliable, appeared to be just as inadequate.

But she didn’t blame him much, just as Old Barak said, he was merely a Holy Knight, not a professional Mage. Being able to use the Teleportation Technique to get here was already beyond expectations.

The main issue is this world...

Absolute Forbidden Magic meant she didn’t dare use magic casually now. With every bit of magic power used, there was one less bit remaining. From then on, the mana bar would only go down and not up, rendering them capable of only a few uses before their magic power was exhausted.

In fact, when the people from Silver Country first arrived in this world, they were also under Absolute Forbidden Magic. It’s just that at that time, Old Watson only used animal communication twice, which didn’t consume much mana. Plus, they were in a state of being hunted, too anxious to notice this point. By the time they found out about Absolute Forbidden Magic, they had already encountered Xue Dili and got beaten up.

Therefore, not daring to use magic made things even worse.

Walking down the street, Old Barak was dumbfounded by the diverse crowds around him.

He had never strolled in Jiang City before; the farthest place he had seen was the vegetable market at the entrance of Xue Dili’s family’s village home.

And he had observed this world through tokusatsu dramas, but now he realized even Xue Dili’s city seemed more prosperous than those in Ultraman.

Children going to school used various vehicles, while a large group of elderly men and women practiced a slow martial art in a distant square, and those bizarre traffic lights virtually dazzled them.

People from Silver City likely had the same look when they first arrived here. They stayed in jail for two weeks before gradually understanding and adapting to this world.

Although their advantage was having slightly understood this place through tokusatsu dramas, they were essentially in the dark.

The situation was similar to putting a modern person in a foreign city without a mobile phone; they would be utterly confused too.

And very clearly, the attire and appearance of these two quickly attracted the curiosity of the locals.

After all, Old Barak, with his scruffy white beard and cloth armor, carrying a Greatsword on his back, and Alola in Ranger Leather Armor along with two Swift Strike Swords and a hammer, looked very much like cosplay.

It’s just that their weapons were of too good a quality.

And soon, a kid who seemed to be a female college student couldn’t help coming forward, seeing they both appeared to have Western features, she organized her language and asked, "Hello, are you going to the anime convention?"

"Huh? What are you saying?" Old Barak was momentarily stunned.

He did understand Chinese, well enough to communicate without obstacles in Chinese with Xue Dili, but what this young girl just said made Old Barak lose his confidence.

Did I end up in the wrong place?

"Oh, you speak Chinese! I’m sorry, are you going to the anime convention?" The college student continued to ask, looking at their worn-out armor full of marks, and their impressive-looking weapons, there was a sparkle in her eyes.

"Anime convention?" Old Barak questioned back.

"Maybe you’re not familiar with the term; it’s a gathering place for people like you. Hang on, there really is an anime convention happening these days in Jiang City!" The college student suddenly perked up with interest.

"People like us?" Old Barak suddenly realized, was the world developed to such an extent? There was even a gathering place for otherworldly visitors like us, that’s great!

Old Barak’s thinking was simple: since there was a gathering place for otherworldly visitors, it must have something to do with Xue Dili. And as long as it was related to Xue Dili, they could follow the clues to find his location, and then have a big reunion.

Plan secured!

"Yes, just like this. So, where is the anime convention?" Old Barak immediately responded.

"It’s at the Exhibition Center in the distance, let me check; it’s 14 kilometers from here," the young girl said.

Old Barak immediately jotted down the address, and after incessantly thanking the young girl and agreeing to her request for a photo, he excitedly returned to tell his granddaughter, "Alola, Grandpa has gathered some information!"
