old dream

Chapter 66

On the opposite side of Colin, Ji Lian was flipping through the documents he brought. Her pale blond hair was hanging down on her forehead, and most of her face was covered by a thick cotton mask.

It's afternoon, and here is an open-air coffee shop next to the wooden plank road in Hegang District.Because there are umbrellas, the river is not too hot, and there are many tourists from foreign countries sitting nearby.

Passers-by did not cast any strange glances at Ji Lian's outfit. There was a major flu more than ten years ago, and the epidemic prevention and sanitation were generally poor at that time. The disaster eventually spread to the entire territory of the League and killed hundreds of thousands of people.It was also because of that incident that the concept of bacterial infection and masks became popular among the people.

Ji Lian was forced out of the small apartment by Colin, on the grounds that staying out of the sun for too long was not good for her recovery.

The record I just bought was wrapped and placed on the empty seat beside it. It was said to be made of shellac, and the sound was much better than the previous steel record.

Colin has no confidence in her own musical taste, so to avoid being teased and ridiculed again, she thinks it is better for her to choose.In the end, Ji Li'an just picked up two unknown singers in the store. After paying the bill, she put all her heart into the materials brought by Ke Lin.

The descriptions of the image of Jia Tu in the previous pages have been removed by Ke Lin.Only a few accounts of Zhelan witchcraft were handed over to Ji Li'an.

Ji Lian turned over the pages again, her fingertips brushed over the crisp paper, and made a crisp "kwacha" sound.Before the paper fell completely, the white palm immediately smoothed out the new page.The dry surface of the paper rubbed against the pulp of the finger, and a soft and slightly itchy rustling sound sounded in the ear.

The picture of Ji Lian concentrating on reading the book is indeed extremely peaceful and beautiful.

But Colin always incoherently associated with these voices that there was a group of tiny bugs quickly eating something.

A somewhat abrupt imagination, but Ji Lian's way of reading is indeed reminiscent of "gnawing".

Maybe it's because she flips through pages much faster than it looks, and is almost never satisfied.Colin knew that it only took someone else's time to chew and digest all these materials, and of course she came up with opinions far beyond Colin's own.

I feel a little disgusted by such reading, probably because of the pressure her talent brings to me.

Now that she has such feelings with her past life experience, it is estimated that in the eyes of her real peers, Ji Li'an is undoubtedly a person who will make people feel hopeless.Because whether it is appearance or talent, she may make those children's expectations and illusions about themselves to be shattered prematurely.

That little church school could hardly contain her aura.Even teachers with low standards will only regard her as a monster, but as long as they have really gotten along with her, they will definitely feel their mediocrity from her.This intense and tragic experience came so easily, and there was no room for it.

Ji Li'an's fault was that she never knew about it, nor did she hide it at all.I am afraid that in her eyes, the mediocre of the same kind are just boring stage sets, not even more worthy of thought than the clouds in the sky and the stones on the roadside.She is immersed in her own world all day long, devoted only to the things she finds interesting and the profound knowledge that fascinates her, but she is indifferent to the feelings of others.So when she was diagnosed with tuberculosis by a doctor and was shot down from the top of the cloud into the dust in an instant, many people must have been secretly crying.

But even those who were hurt by Ji Lian's brilliance, besides scolding her for what she deserved, couldn't help but feel a little bit of regret.The most beautiful things are always disturbing, as if ready to fall.There were too many possibilities in her body, but she died early before she could make any noise to the world.

Today, she is just a person who is numb and struggling to survive, perhaps the most boring type in her own eyes in the past.

But even so, she was still able to do amazing things, such as designing that huge cracking ceremony from scratch within half a year, and verifying it was effective.

Colin thought silently, this was the result obtained without giving her complete materials.Her talent is truly enviable, even dangerous.

Ji Lian suddenly put away the bound book pages in her hand and pushed it aside, and untied a small cloth bag placed beside the table.Inside was the tableware she brought herself, and the long handles were decorated with simple and incised cutlery, and the patterns were vaguely shells and leaf-shaped flower decorations.

In fact, she doesn't have to carry these things out, just use public utensils.It's just that she herself seems to take the issue of contagion very seriously.Perhaps because she was a victim herself, she resented passing tuberculosis to innocent people.

She cut a small piece of dark brown brownie from the plate, pulled down the corner of her mask and tasted it.

"How do you feel?" Colin asked.

"Excellent, how can I describe it..."

She hesitated for a moment and said:
"It's like an uncut gem that hasn't been organized into a rigid format. While some may be considered flaws that need to be removed, from another perspective, it may be the most beautiful. The place."

Colin just casually asked her how she felt about the store and the taste of cakes, so this inexplicable answer made him a little startled, and he couldn't understand what Ji Li'an was talking about for a while.

Immediately he realized that she was talking about the material from Kayu.

If you count the incomplete one, it records four witchcraft secretly popular among the auxiliary soldiers of the Zhelan garrison.The incomplete one is written at the beginning of the chapter, and it is probably the most typical and important one, which has the meaning of providing interpretation directions for the following text.

After this piece is missing, the original complete text also becomes blurred.

If you completely mechanically imitate the records in the book, it may not be able to reproduce the effects of those witchcraft, because this is already another completely different land tens of thousands of kilometers away from Kayu, and the environment of the etheric field is completely different.

And from the perspective of the structure of those witchcraft, it is completely inconsistent with the alliance's definition of the two major magical systems of "ritual" and "elf", but it is also possible that their real structure is blurred by some cumbersome rhetoric and decoration , so it becomes very inconspicuous.

Without knowing these, it is difficult to modify them so that they can be used in Stade.

Colin was originally troubled by this situation, and it is estimated that countless allied scholars are also struggling to analyze the mirror structure in these unfamiliar witchcraft, or to identify and find the elves involved.

But Ji Lian said that she saw "uncut gems".

It can only be said that her focus was completely different from that of Colin from the very beginning.

Suddenly feeling his dullness and shallowness, Colin wiped the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer her words for a while, and the table was cold for a while.

In the end, it was Ji Li'an who asked a new question. She sipped some kind of soft drink with ice and asked:

"What are you going to do with the wine still in my house?"
