Chapter 20: London
Not long after, Orris brought back a chestnut warhorse.
"It's great to see you, Your Majesty the King!" Philip knelt down and saluted Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded and put down the book in his hand: "Don't be too polite, Philip!"
After Philip got up, Jiang Ning stood up: "Where did Peter go? Where did they disappear?"
Philip replied: "The king and queen went to the southern forest. After they saw a street lamp, they walked into the forest. After that, they disappeared. No matter how I searched, I couldn't find them." Philip was very helpless .
"Don't worry about them Philip! Peter and the others just returned to their own world, they are safe. Now, I want you to take me to the forest where they disappeared." Although he was puzzled why Jiang Ning went there, Philip agreed .
"Okay, please ride on my back, Your Majesty the King!"
Jiang Ning waved his robe, turned over and rode on Philip's back, and then Philip ran towards the forest.
...
"Is this the place? Philip!" Jiang Ning asked, looking at the street lights and the surrounding forest.
Philip nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the place."
"Philip, you can go back. Tell Orris and them that I have important things to deal with and I will be away from Narnia for a while. Let them not worry, I will come back again." Jiang Ning entrusted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." After Philip finished speaking, he turned and left.
And Jiang Ning walked into the forest following the traces left by Peter and the others on the ground.
"The traces disappeared here, but where did the magic wardrobe go?" There was nothing in front of him, only some leaves, and the magic wardrobe that could go to and from Narnia was gone.
"That wardrobe is hidden at the junction of the two worlds, and now it has disappeared." The butler said.
Jiang Ning was thoughtful: "Then as long as it shows its traces, the magic wardrobe will appear?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "It's very simple!" After finishing speaking, he recited a mantra silently: "The enchantment appears quickly!"
An invisible wave appeared as the spell took effect, and the next moment, the invisible magic wardrobe was revealed as the spell took effect.
Jiang Ning straightened his robes and walked in calmly. After he left, the Wardrobe disappeared again.
...
Seeing himself returning to the appearance of around sixteen or seventeen years old, Jiang Ning was a little speechless: "Have the rules of the world changed?" He looked at the room in front of him. There was nothing in the room except a wardrobe.
Turning his head and looking at the wardrobe, all he saw were coats and solid walls. The forests of Narnia have long since disappeared.
...
Carefully opened the door, looked around, after all, quietly appeared in someone's house. In case of being regarded as a thief, it is really unclear. Seeing that no one was passing by, Jiang Ning quickly came to the window, opened the window to bless himself with invisibility witchcraft, and flew out directly.
...
After several hours of flight, Jiang Ning came to the sky above London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
Looking at the buildings below and the meandering Thames River, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the famous St. Paul's Cathedral. Compared with oriental architecture, European architecture has an alternative freshness.
The streets are filled with old cars and the occasional horse-drawn carriage that drives by, as well as double-decker buses.
In this era, the smoke of World War II has just passed. When everything was in ruins, Marshall's European recovery plan provided funds for the reconstruction of these war-torn countries. And the former British Empire, even if it has fallen, but with its hundreds of years of heritage, even if it has been consumed, there is not much left. With Yankee funds,
It was the first European country to recover. Internationally, it still maintains a strong influence.
At the same time, China is still struggling with redoubled efforts.
...
Looking at the bustling city under his feet, Jiang Ning couldn't help feeling that the British guy who started as a pirate did have something special about him. In a short period of time, London flourished again.
After changing his wizard robe, Jiang Ning wore a suit and strolled around the scenery of London.
When you don't get a carriage, don't talk about traveling abroad. I have never been to a province that is a little closer. In the world where superpowers are out of control, I have been to the United States, but I didn't have time to visit the United States that time.
Everything he did at that time had a purpose. Where do you have the idea to play around? Now, Jiang Ning can finally play around with peace of mind. Although there is nothing worth visiting in London in this era.
In terms of entertainment, it is far behind the 21st century. Entertainment activities in all aspects are extremely scarce.
So he just goes around looking at the sights and tasting the famously dark British cuisine. After tasting it, Jiang Ning found that it was really difficult for him to eat. His appetite had already been spoiled by his mother. As a king in Narnia, he would naturally eat well.
Eating local British food these days is almost like eating pig food.
...
Jiang Ning finally couldn't take it anymore, found a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown, and had a delicious meal. The long-lost hometown food made him feel better instantly. After living in Narnia for ten years, how could it be possible to eat Chinese food? Chatted with the boss for a while, asked him where he could buy a house, and bought a small villa under the guidance of the boss. Throw away all the things inside, ask someone to clean it thoroughly, and then buy a full set of high-end furniture. Live in comfortably... As for money? According to Jiang Ning, this is not a problem at all. As the king of Narnia, he had as much gold as he wanted, and it was all stored in the carriage now.
In today's London, buying a house is too easy.
With money, why not enjoy life? Blind penance, that is not the life Jiang Ning wants. His pursuit of a higher realm is just for better enjoyment. At this point, all the people in the multiverse are running for this purpose.
Otherwise, why are you practicing so hard? If it is to explore the truth, to explore the mysteries of the multiverse. It can only be said that this person is stupid in reading.
According to Jiang Ning, it is to enjoy life. They have longevity, but they don't have the strength to protect themselves, so the wizards desperately make themselves stronger. Only when one is strong can one's life be guaranteed, one's life is protected, and one can enjoy life more happily.
And eternity, the pursuit is eternal enjoyment!
Only with invincible strength and an immortal life, can one completely let go of everything and enjoy it. No matter what others say, Jiang Ning is for this purpose.
Although Jiang Ning is not strong now, he is invincible in this world.
...
Therefore, Jiang Ning put aside everything for the time being, didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, and had the right to take a few days off for himself, to enjoy it quietly and happily. Whether it is mentally or physically, how comfortable it is.
