It was a strange feeling, like walking into an illusory emerald dream.A faint fog enveloped me, so that I could not see the scenery in the distance, I could only walk forward step by step, every step was so careful, I kept trying to clear the fog in front of me, trying to see the real world, I even forgot where I came from, where I was, and where I was going.I found that even under my feet there were layers of mist, and I was suspended in an unknown space.A drop of crystal clear water, slicing in front of my eyes and flying from bottom to top, defied my perception.Then, I distinctly heard the sound of falling into the water with a click.Suddenly, I looked up and saw a blue and vast lake overhead.Oh no!
It's not a lake, it's not that big, it's a sea!
A sea of tranquility that is as calm as a mirror.It was the layers of fog that appeared in front of my eyes that obscured me and made me see it at this time.However, in the sea above me, a vague woman's face floated quietly on the surface of the sea, that face was made entirely of water elements, she looked a bit like Ying Li, and some like Qige, or somewhere like Sister Guoguo.In a trance, the face suddenly asked me, "Where are you from?"
”A powerful spiritual force rushed to my face, taking possession of my body and controlling my thoughts, like countless spider silks binding me in place.I tried to recall my past, and it felt like a kind of time back, and the scenery in front of me was rapidly regressing, the bustling imperial capital, the tranquil city of El, the desolate Pai Plateau, the turquoise Star Lake grassland, and the endless Neosiakis Mountains.The picture in my mind is suddenly frozen in front of a burning forest, surrounded by continuous snow-capped mountains, wrapping this burning forest in it, every tree is constantly burning, as if those flames are their leaves, forming a sea of fire, surrounded by endless snow-capped mountains, surrounded by snowflakes floating in the sky.Just among the rolling mountains, an old orc dressed in a tattered animal skin struggled to walk on the snow.He lived in a strangely shaped cane, like a totemic stick, with the skull of a beast embedded in the top of the stick, and every step he took was very difficult, and the cold wind mixed with the snow blew on his face like a blade.Behind the old orc was an orc boy with a wooden bow on his back, his body seemed to have been frozen, curled up in his leather jacket, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, he followed the footprints of the old orc, step by step, it seemed that he could fall at any time.He stopped, his eyes fixed on the edge of the burning forest ahead, where a baby lay in the snow at the edge of the deep forest.It was the place where the wind and the snow met the flames, and the sharp snowflakes blew there, quickly swallowed up by the layers of heat waves that burned the forest, and those heat waves wanted to extend outward, but were blown out by the bitter cold wind.I suddenly remembered why the old orc's face was so familiar, he was old Kuru, and the orc child behind him was not Kuz?
And the baby lying on the ground, is that me?
If it's me?
So why am I still here?
I shouted excitedly, but the voice was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't get it out anyway, and I was sweating profusely."
AhhI finally came to my senses.The burning flame and snow-capped heaven and earth also turned into countless fragments at once, like a shattered mirror.The scene before me was restored to its original appearance, and in the empty parlor lay a round table with a huge crystal ball, and Prince James and I stood in front of it, and my face was as pale as a waking wake from a dream from the smooth surface of the crystal ball.Prince James stood aside with his hands behind his back, his hair meticulously groomed, and his face looked at me calmly."
Follow me!"
Speaking in Chinese, he walked towards the door.I was like a puppet at the mercy of others, and while following him, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my forehead, but I didn't hesitate in my steps, and I felt that if I hesitated at all, he would snatch Ying Li away from me.The cloisters of the castle were eerily quiet, with their scarlet carpets and magical lights on the walls made of pure gold and inlaid with colorful gemstones, that I felt the urge to pull out a knife and pry off a piece.In addition to the middle-aged butler following Prince James, there were two other costumed knights who couldn't see their strength, following Prince James with expressionless faces, followed by two attendants.Fortunately, Prince James did not go far when he stopped at a staircase, and he turned and looked at me silently.He stared at me and asked, "Do you know what it means to be a member of the Angel Bald royal family?"
”I shook my head and stopped with him."
We enjoy the glory and wealth left to us by our ancestors, and at the same time, every Angel Bolder needs to bear a certain responsibility for this huge family, whether it is for the family, for the royal family, or for the Green Empire, this is the fate of every Angel Bald."
Prince James said to me.At this time, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: like the prince of Wales, it is probably the responsibility of those princes to lead a team of Constructed Knights to fight on the battlefield.Obviously, this is much better than the princesses who are going to marry lords who have the right to inherit the title or own the territory, at least they don't have to worry about whether the person sleeping next to the pillow is a pig or a mule.In the final analysis, this is an era where the strong are respected.He walked down the stairs, the middle-aged butler walked to the front, took out a large set of keys, and after looking for a long time on them, he found one of them, reached into the lock hole and twisted it, the antique wooden door was opened with a click, and the two attendants who followed behind hurriedly walked up and pushed the heavy wooden door open.He walked me in, and I felt a lot cooler inside, and he said to me as he walked, "But Ying Li is different, she has given enough to the Angel Boyd family, and I hope she can live happily every day in the future." ”I agree with this, thinking that Prince James and Ying Li are blood thicker than water after all.After a gentle slope, we came across another door around the corner.He stopped in front of the door, his eyes softened a little, and he said to me, "She is my most precious daughter, and I love her as much as Le Die loves Le Die." ”The middle-aged butler opened the door again without a sound, and Prince James led me and I continued to walk inside, looking at his back, my steps inevitably hesitated.I suspect there must be some hidden secrets here, otherwise there wouldn't be so many gates, and the walls here have become a little darker, which makes me nervous.I even wondered if Prince James was trying to let me know a secret that he couldn't leak, so that he would have a reason to kill me.Just thinking about it sent a chill down my back a little, and I quickly shook my head to dispel the messy thoughts in my head.He continued: "Of course, she has the right to choose happiness, but she is so young, and Manda and I are worried that she will regret the choice she has made now and one day in the future. ”He paused, and then said, "But she is a stubborn girl, a little bit of a temper to me, and a little proud of her heart, which is a bit like her mother." ”We walked to the third gate, which was made of fine walnut wood, and the relief on the door panel was two angels with wings on their backs, one angel holding a sword in both hands, looking ready to fight, and the other angel with his hands crossed on his chest. before, make a gesture of prayer.The middle-aged key unlocked the door, but the two attendants did not follow up and push the door.The two knights in costume, who were following Prince James, were also separated on either side of the gate at this time, and it seemed that they did not intend to enter it.Prince James looked at me seriously and said, "I have no intention of hurting you, nor do I want to hate me after winning Li, I promised her that the future path will be chosen according to her heart." ”He pushed open the wooden door with one hand and stepped inside.His voice came from inside: "I will not intervene in your affairs, nor will I obstruct it, but I need you to know that if you take a princess of Angelboy, you will need to face the pressure and responsibility, and you also need to understand that life is actually quite fragile sometimes." ”I hesitated, but gritted my teeth and walked in.Just as I was taking my first steps inside, Prince James added: "If you want to quit now, and it's still too late, you just have to promise me that you won't come near her again, you won't look for her again, and you won't let her see it again, and I can treat you as if you've never been here at all." ”Hearing him say this, I hesitated, my breathing was already a little difficult to keep calm, I clenched my fists tightly, and there was a struggle in my heart.Just when my heart was a little hesitant, the golden reversal of time and the vast field suddenly appeared in my mind, in front of a white tent, Ying Li squatted on the grass, quietly staring at the cluster of small blue flowers at his feet, I knew that the cluster of flowers had a beautiful name.Forget-me-not, I stepped inside.It was only at this moment that there was a slight fluctuation in Prince James's calm eyes, and he looked at me with some surprise.He said to me, "You still have courage, but courage is not enough. ”He continued to walk inside, it seemed that the corridor was very long, and when I entered the gate, I noticed that the color of the walls on both sides had changed to dark purple, and the ornate decorations on the walls had also turned into some dark style murals, with ghost riders riding nightmares, ghosts with death scythes, and corpse witches holding bone staffs, and the entire corridor was shrouded in a dome of death."
This world is not what you see, stable, peaceful, we can sit in a warm house and taste delicious food as we like, we are destined to fight these necromancers, to fight the dark forces of the Hell, to fight the demons who come to Hell."
Prince James continued.I would love to say to him: We northerners have to deal with ferocious barbarians.At this time, I heard him babble again: "Angel Bird is the ruler of Grimm and the guardian of this land, with supreme power, in charge of countless powerful armies, but also to face countless enemies. ”At the end of the hallway was another door.At this time, Prince James untied a string of golden keys from his neck and opened the door.This time, James didn't stop at the door, and walked straight inside.I followed him right behind.Unexpectedly, this was a huge showroom, and there was a row of display cases in the room, on which were placed all kinds of armor and magic weapons with magic patterns, these items were covered with dust, and some old armor with magic patterns had lost their luster and magic fluctuations on the surface.On the wall, there are a row of portraits, and when I first saw them, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but when I looked back, I realized that the people in these paintings looked young.I thought they were members of the Angel Boyd family, but it turned out that they didn't look alike."
That's right, they are all people who married the princess of the royal family of Angelboy, and they all died because of it, some were on the battlefield, some died in an assassination attempt, some died in the curse of necromancy, and some died for unknown reasons Many people cannot escape this fate, or it can be said to be a curse."
Prince James said to me indifferently."
Everyone dies, some die from disease, some die from accidents, some die from war, and in our northern borders, men who have not served in the military are not considered adults, and I am not afraid of death!"
I looked up and said to Prince James."
Maybe one day, you'll be a painting on this wall too, and your name won't be on the royal rolls."
Prince James said to me."
I heard that you are going to marry Le Die to William, isn't William afraid?"
I asked Prince James rhetorically."
Standing behind William is a huge family, and the Mo family will arrange knights to guard him."
Prince James said.I thought that Prince James was going to coerce me or threaten me or something.But I didn't expect to just let me see some oil paintings hanging on the wall, and then said to me: Ah, those people died because they married the princess, are you afraid?
Of course I'm not afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of.But seriously, there are a lot of people who have married Princess Angelboyd, and the walls of the entire showroom are almost covered with oil paintings, and I suddenly wondered if I could really be one of them.Prince James had no idea of inviting me to lunch in the castle.Of course, I didn't meet the elven woman, Lady Manda.When he was sure that he could not convince me, Prince James took me out of the showroom and had the middle-aged butler escort me out of the Prince's mansion.From the beginning to the end, he did not ask about any news about Yingli.Caterina stood anxiously waiting for me at the manor, and when she saw me coming out of it, she hurriedly greeted me and saw that I was in good condition, and then she was relieved.
