Creating a Different World - Chapter 2604

[Chapter 2604: Strange Cohen]

“Cohen! Cohen?” Julian knocked on the door early in the morning. “Come on, let’s go to the city together!”

The door of the wooden house opened, and Jia Zhengjin came out wearing a full set of iron armor and holding a helmet.

Seeing her childhood sweetheart who was completely different from her impression, Julian was stunned. She had never seen Cohen wearing a full set of armor and looking like a real adventurer. In my impression, he has always been a friendly boy next door: “You, you…”

“What’s wrong?” Jia Zhengjin looked at Julian who was bewildered, “Didn’t I tell you before that in order to prevent misunderstandings and being harassed by your suitors like Martin, we should try not to go into the city and go home together?”

Julian was stunned just now, but when he heard this, he reacted all of a sudden: “You don’t want to accompany me because of this? We have been together since childhood…”

“It’s different now!” Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said, “You and I are not children now, and we both have our own lives. You are an excellent student in the magic academy with a bright future, and I am just an adventurer with no future. The people we come into contact with are different. Just like Martin, and other boys in the academy who like you, they either have a bright future or a prominent identity. Even if they come out in the future, they will join a regular adventure team. And I, I come into contact with all kinds of people, the lowest level adventurers. We are no longer in the same world, do you understand?”

“Can you stop mentioning Martin all the time?” Julian frowned slightly, “It was fine before, and I feel that we are suddenly much more unfamiliar. Is it because of his affairs that you are scared?”

“That’s about right!” Jia Zhengjin walked towards the woodshed. “In the future, I will focus all my energy on adventure missions and work hard to improve my strength. You should also get used to going to the city alone, or with your other friends.”

Seeing Jia Zhengjin leading a group of horses out of the woodshed, Julian was even more surprised: “What’s wrong with this equipment and horses? Where did you get so much money to buy them?”

Jia Zhengjin led the horses to the front of the yard: “I was just lucky. I picked up some bargains during the exploration mission yesterday. So I will continue to explore today.”

“Exploration missions are very dangerous!” Julian said anxiously, “Do you think you can be so lucky every time? Cohen, isn’t it good to be safe and sound like before? Although the money earned is very little, I know you are very happy every day!”

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin turned around and looked at Julian, thinking that it was not about how much money, but that the real Cohen liked you, and he would be happy as long as he was with you every day, regardless of anything else. But I am not the real Cohen, and I don’t have the same idea as him.

Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly and jumped on his horse: “I’m leaving first! You go to the city by yourself!”

“Wait a minute!” Julian hurriedly pulled him back, “The guards came to report this morning that there was a murder on the road and many people died. You let me, a girl, go to the city alone, isn’t that too much? If you really don’t want to accompany me back and forth every day, you have to give me some time to arrange it, so that I can find classmates to go together, or just live in the academy. Such an incident just happened, how can you let me go alone?”

“This” The murder case Julian was talking about should be the ambusher who was killed by her when she came back last night. In addition, Martin’s murder before may indeed cause some panic. Although Julian is an excellent student of the magic academy, she is a girl after all, and it is normal to be afraid.

If she really doesn’t care, it seems a bit unreasonable. After all, the identity she is using now is Cohen, her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhengjin hesitated: “Then let me accompany you to the city today, but you have to deal with this problem yourself. Whether you ask a classmate to accompany you, or just live in the college. In the future, I may accept different tasks and go to different cities or even countries. It will be normal for me not to come back for a month or two, or even a few years.”

“Cohen, why do I always feel that you are strange?” Julian approached and stared at his face.

Of course he is strange. The person standing in front of you is a completely different person inside except for using the identity of Cohen! Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, but his face had no expression: “People will change! I have lived in a daze for so many years, and it’s time to change! I can’t continue this hopeless, completely muddled life like before.”

“What’s wrong with this kind of life? At least you are happy every day!” Julian said puzzledly, “and we are the same as when we were kids, isn’t that great?”

“Julian,” Jia Zhengjin looked into her eyes and said seriously, “we have all grown up! It’s impossible to be like when we were kids, understand? You have become very outstanding now, and you have met so many more outstanding people in the magic academy, and many boys like you. One day, you will fall in love with one of these boys, get married, and start a new life. Do you want me to stand in the middle and influence you? Or do you have no such idea at all, and would rather play with me like a child for the rest of your life?”

Julian was silent after hearing this, and her eyes stayed on Jia Zhengjin for a few seconds: “So you have considered all these things? Calculation… Even if I really fall in love or even get married, can’t I have my own good friends? We have been playing together since we were young.”

Jia Zhengjin shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, Cohen! Fortunately, you are finished. If I heard this, I would probably collapse directly, right?

If Julian had any interest in you, she would never say such a thing. It is precisely because she does not regard you as the opposite sex, but just an ordinary playmate, that she can say it so easily. He

said to her immediately: “Julian, we are not children anymore! Stop saying willful words. We all have our own and completely different futures. It’s getting late, you don’t want to be late, right? So, I will take you to the city today, but as I said just now, you have to plan it yourself in the future. Come!”

Seeing Jia Zhengjin stretching out his hand, Julian hesitated for a moment, grabbed it without saying a word, and let him pull her onto the horse’s back, and the two of them rode on the same horse.

“Go!” After Julian sat firmly, Jia Zhengjin squeezed the horse’s belly, took her on the horse and galloped along the road towards the village entrance.

Julian looked at the extremely unfamiliar back in front of her and realized that Cohen was really different from before.

Maybe it was really because he had grown up?

Everyone was no longer a child, so they couldn’t be the same as before?

But what he said made sense. Last time, Martin almost killed Cohen in the mouth of the monster. If someone hadn’t assassinated Martin, he might have continued to attack Cohen. Martin would have done this, so there is no guarantee that others would not do the same thing.
