Alice in the Land of Steam
Chapter 827 Did you make me dream?
Chapter 827 Did you make me dream?
This long night will eventually pass, but before that, there will need to be some entertainment as a curtain call.
When Tiantis returned to the Crimea Palace, it was already completely dark. Standing in front of the huge French window and looking out, he could not see a single star in the sky. The city beneath his feet was crawling in the deepest darkness, like a tired giant beast silently slumbering. Those lights that flickered from time to time were its last breath, and those homeless people and beggars who were still running around in the streets and alleys in the middle of the night would rekindle their passion in this body and become the firewood for its awakening tomorrow.
The world is waiting for a new life in the midst of chaos, but who will bring it new life? Perhaps many people have similar ambitions, such as the fanatical religious believers or the soldiers who once fought under the Elf King. But so far, the person closest to this goal is Tiantis. She guides the direction of the giant beast of the Witch Society and has left all competitors behind and is far ahead.
However, from today on, there may be one more name added to the list of competitors.
Although the young man has been resisting something based on some keen instinct, Tiantis believes that he will make a choice one day. After all, there are many things in this world that you cannot avoid being affected by just by facing difficulties. Only by facing difficulties can you get the opportunity to grow.
In that holy temple beyond the sky, the home where the young royal powers were born and grew up, he and his companions will witness the truth, and then make a new choice -
If gathering the royal powers of seven girls can open the door to the Holy Temple of Heaven, why has the Witch Society never done so?
If he thought that his mother would not approve of the Witch Society's plan, why didn't he step in to stop it?
If it is determined that there are only fourteen young girl kings, then what are the others?
……
In the past, the young queens of order were skeptical about these "ifs", or perhaps they were prejudiced by certain practices of the Witch Society. Sometimes, even after seeing the facts, they were unwilling to let their souls fall into the abyss of darkness. They always believed that there was a way to have the best of both worlds, and that all difficulties could be solved with their own hands. Isn't this naive?
But if it were you, maybe you could understand the meaning of that sentence? There is an insurmountable gap between realism and idealism, so some things are not a means to achieve an end, but an inevitable result.
"Well, I'm at Promise Harbor, and I'm expected to arrive at Lenwitin tomorrow... Let's not talk about that for now. Both Timis and Victoria sent me communications. I heard that your operation tonight failed? Timis said that you underestimated the other party, but Victoria said that you let them go on purpose. Why do I feel that neither of them is your style?"
"what why?"
These words were very impolite, but Tiantis knew that this was the other person's character, so he didn't take it to heart. He just commented: "You are a little too radical, Favrona. Don't forget our real purpose: to explore the possibilities of the world."
"Defeat them mercilessly." The voice on the other end of the communication device seemed so matter-of-fact: "Since it is destined that they will not follow the same path as us, there is no need to show mercy. Showing mercy to the enemy is an insult. You know this better than I do."
"It's Favrona." Tiantis smiled and said, "Are you back already?"
"why?"
"What kind of path can they take?"
Tiantis knew exactly what her doubts were based on, so he summarized his thoughts succinctly: "Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it doesn't happen now."
Favrona's tone was full of doubt, which was not surprising, because she had always been the most unfriendly person to her former sisters among the eight witches. This was not because the two sides had turned against each other. In fact, even if they were in a hostile position, Favrona was happy to respect her enemies, but the premise was that the other party must have the tenacious will and belief of a warrior. In this way, the hostile position was transformed into a confrontation of will and belief, which was something to be happy about.
"Two people? What kind of two people?"
However, her former sisters, the young queens on the side of order, were precisely those without will and faith. When they learned the truth about the world, they still chose to be enemies with the Witch Society because they were dissatisfied with some of the practices and methods of the society. Whether this goodwill to protect the weak is right or wrong, Favrona did not comment. She just felt that if you think our path is wrong, then at least you should firmly believe which path is right and walk on it unswervingly.
"Yes." Tiantis said softly, but firmly: "If the realistic plan is a possibility, then the path they are going to take is also a possibility."
"Does this mean that they are beginning to change?"
"I think so."
"So you think they can create possibilities?"
"As for the reason...if I have to give a reason, it's probably because of two people."
"Oh? Then what style do you think I should have?"
“A person you were very familiar with in the past, but may not be familiar with now; a person you were not familiar with in the past, but will definitely be familiar with in the future.”
On the desk in the room, Tiandis's communication device suddenly beeped, interrupting her thoughts. The black-haired girl left the French window and connected the signal of the device. A very familiar voice came from the other end, with a passion and publicity like a flame, but deliberately suppressed, so that it seemed low, like a volcano that had been accumulated for a long time, waiting for the most blazing moment of eruption: "Hey, can you hear me, Tiandis?"
However, when the Order monarchs opposed the plans of the Witch Society, they did not propose new plans to change the world and cure the stubborn diseases that entrenched in it. This made their good intentions seem weak, at least, the kind of weakness that Favrona did not like.
"Why did you change?" Favrona asked, "There's a reason for this, right? We didn't change when we were betrayed before, and we didn't change when we gathered so many believers. Why did you suddenly change now? You have to give me a reason, right?"
"Why are you playing dumb?" Favrona was a little dissatisfied: "You should know that I am not Carabosse. I never like this kind of thing."
"Then try to like it." Tiandis smiled and said, "Just like you have to learn to adapt to the changes in the world, you have been in the East Continent for so long, and the West Continent today is not what you know."
"That's better." Favrona said angrily, "But speaking of the East Continent, I do have a few very important things to explain to you."
"for example?"
"Solomon's Thirteen Hermits seem to be very active recently. He has been trying to connect the countries of the East Continent to form a so-called Holy Alliance. At present, it seems that he is about to succeed. Many countries have joined this military alliance, hoping to stop the Axis forces from advancing further through a strong alliance. I have said long ago that the guy is a scourge. It is really annoying if we don't get rid of him." Tiantis did not seem to take the so-called allied forces to heart. He still had a calm expression and just asked softly: "So, what about Assyria?"
"Assyria... As far as I know, Solomon once came to visit, but the Assyrian leaders did not meet him. I think they are used to being conservative and are not interested in this alliance."
"Then their conservatism does make some sense."
In the dim room, the corners of Tiandis' mouth slowly curled up, forming a shallow arc: "Because soon, the King of Elves that they have been waiting for for a long time will appear."
After the words were spoken, the other end of the communication device fell into silence for a long time.
After a long while, Tiantis ended the conversation with one sentence: "Mid-year meeting."
“Remember to attend on time.”
……
Saint Charity went to bed very late today because she was busy decorating the room and preparing furniture for Gloria who had just arrived on the island. After she finally finished her work, she found that Medien and Ovira were still awake in the middle of the night and were eating supper in the hotel lobby. The culprit was a traveler fairy who had just returned from the windmill tower room. So, with her sister's aura bursting out, she severely reprimanded the three guys for their bad habit of not keeping a regular schedule. It was not until Medien whispered to her that half an hour had passed that she reacted and ended this endless torture.
Before going to bed, I stopped by Sister Livia's room. I wanted to ask Lingge what you talked about when you were alone together, but considering that it was so late, the nun might have fallen asleep, and she was also injured, so it would be best not to disturb her easily, so I gave up the idea.
After that, she went back to her room and went to sleep. As soon as the back of her head touched the pillow, she fell into a dream. This was a skill she learned from the old Moruya wizard. It was said that the Moruya people were very good at treating insomnia through self-suggestion. Saint Shallia simply turned it into a small habit in her life.
Then, she had a dream.
In the dream, in a place that seemed very far away, she saw a girl with black hair and black eyes. She had a very familiar aura and was looking at her with gentle and expectant eyes. The dream was not stable. The scene was clearly in front of her, but it gave her an indescribable sense of blurriness. Some places were even eaten away by holes of nothingness. Therefore, her voice seemed intermittent, as if it came from another world: "Really... don't consider it anymore...?... The path we chose... is difficult, but it is also... the right one..."
As a bystander, Saint Shallia heard her own answer: "Whether it is right or not, I don't know, but... sacrificing innocent people is definitely not what my mother wants to see... There must be other ways to avoid... the future you mentioned..."
The other party said: "It was because of... the mistake made by my mother... that I was born..."
The self in the dream seemed very surprised: "You also call Him... Mother? Who are you? There should only be fourteen of us young queens in this world..."
"Because..." She raised the corners of her mouth, sketching an intriguing smile: "I am not... the twin offspring of... this world... the other world..."
The words drifted away like the wind, and the next moment, the dream began to break, with cracks extending along the horizon to the end, and a cracking sound like glass being squeezed was heard. Gray mist emerged from nowhere, floating around, gradually covering the entire dream world in a gray and hazy ocean. Saint Shallia found that the sounds and images were moving away from her. She tried to move forward, but it was like wading through a quagmire, and her steps were difficult. In the end, the dream completely broke in her eyes, turning into countless fragments and dispersing. The shepherdess also realized in an instant that it was time for her to wake up.
Her consciousness gradually sank, and before she came out of the dream, she vaguely saw a cold face flash by from the depths of the gray fog. At the last moment, he gave her a stunning glance, but it was gone in a flash, as elusive as mist.
Then she woke up.
……
When she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling. Saint Shallia blinked her clear golden eyes and did not react for a while. It was not until the sound of birds chirping came from outside the window and a ray of sunlight quietly climbed through the window frame and fell on her face that the girl was awakened by the warm touch and realized that she had returned to reality.
What a strange dream.
Should I talk to Lingge? Maybe he knows what the dream means.
Saint Shallia thought as she lifted the quilt and slowly sat up from the bed. At this moment, she was surprised to find that she was not the only one in the room. There was a person sitting on a chair by the window not far from the bed, quietly looking at the floor under his feet, as if the wood texture on it was worth studying. At her feet, there was a little lamb with fur as white as clouds, lying down, sleeping soundly at this moment, with a very peaceful expression on his face.
The lamb always sleeps in Saint Shalia's room, usually by the window. It says it is to prevent someone with ulterior motives from attacking its owner at night, such as Alice. So no matter who enters Saint Shalia's room, it will warn them immediately. But there was no movement last night. Was it because it slept too soundly?
Of course, it is also possible that it did not detect the intruder at all.
"Gloria," Saint Xia Liya looked at the girl sitting on the chair in surprise: "Why are you here..."
The gray-haired girl slowly raised her head. The cold expression made her react all of a sudden. The words on her lips naturally changed into another meaning: "Wait, you... are not Gloria, you are Bai Ye?"
"Yeah." The other party nodded expressionlessly, which made Saint Xia Liya's suspicion suddenly turn into certainty, but then another doubt arose: Why did Bai Ye suddenly appear in her room? What did she want to do?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind and she understood something in an instant.
"The dream I had before," she stared at the cursed personality of her most difficult sister, and asked word by word, "Did you make me do that?"
Bai Ye was silent for a while after hearing this, then he lowered his chin slightly and gave a brief reply: "Yeah."
Give me some meow
