On the Seven Towers

At the same time, Xiao Chen was in his own meditation world.

He was sitting on a rock, looking at a small speedboat in the distance, riding the wind and waves back from the lightning-thundering sea.

It was Tasia who drove the boat. She is working on transforming her spiritual power day by day. Tasia parked the boat at the dock, walked out of the boat holding a small box.

This boat was specially made by Xiao Chen for Tasia to sail to the edge of the safe sea to collect the spiritual power in the subconscious. He originally wanted to go there with Tasia, but Tasia refused.

You can't stay here with me all the time. When you are gone, I have to learn to survive here by myself. she said.

She walked slowly, and the sea breeze blew her skirt and silver hair. Xiao Chen jumped down from the stone and asked, "How was the harvest?"

She smiled and said: "More than last time. In fact, I don't know when the last time was. There is only daytime and no night here. I go to bed when I feel tired. When I wake up, I read a book and collect my mental energy. This way It goes on and on, I can’t remember the days, I can’t feel the time.” Tasia’s box contained small, dusty stones. She temporarily shaped the collected mental power into this shape, then returned to the island and slowly processed it.

Xiao Chen was going to use his mind to help her lift the box of things. However, Tasia grabbed her and held her in her arms.

"Don't be like this, just let me hold it. I don't like the feeling that everything can be solved with my mind. This will make me feel very unreal."

Xiao Chen followed him to a hut on the beach. It was said to be a house, but in fact it was just a simple shed, but every piece of wood inside was made by Tasia using her own spiritual power. She would transform the stones into slats one or two meters long each time, and then slowly make them into wood textures like painting. Unlike Xiao Chen, who can make a realistic tree with just one thought, Tasia, who does not have the inheritance of the Tower of Dreams, has great difficulty in doing the same thing. It is as if Xiao Chen is a painter with sophisticated skills, but she is a A child who has just learned to hold a pen. But she slowly built this house like a foolish old man moving mountains.

However, the mental power she has honed in this way is her own. These "materials" derived from Xiao Chen's subconscious became hers.

Therefore, this cabin is very unique in Xiao Chen's world. He cannot directly control and peek into this cabin with his consciousness. Just like Tasia's body, it is an inaccessible black hole in his meditation space.

"Shouldn't you be busy? Why are you looking at me here?" Tasia sat on a small bench and started making new wooden strips.

"Ah? I just wanted to see... if there is anything I need help with. Do you want me to leave?"

Tasia rolled her eyes at him: "How could that be?"

"I'm afraid you won't be used to it. After all, this is a very lonely world."

"Actually, the outside world is also very lonely, isn't it?" Tasia saw Xiao Chen hesitate and said, "So you don't think so. Maybe there are people outside who can understand you very well."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I think so."

"But I didn't. I have been alone since I took on the mission of the Seven Towers. Even Belia only knows a small part of it. This is the source of loneliness. I will move forward in silence until Met you.

I have been thinking about the process of our acquaintance these days, and the scenes that led to this point. Now it seems that this is the reason why I insisted on being with you that night. What I was afraid of was that only one person could move forward. "

"But it's okay now, I don't have to worry about you ever leaving." Tasia said, "Every time I think about myself being dead and want to cry, I think like this, so I don't feel so sad when I think about it. ”

Xiao Chen touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Tasia, there is something I have to tell you. I have someone I want to pursue."

"What do you want to say? I'm just talking about our current situation. I'm really tied to you and can't go anywhere, can I?"

"That's right. Well, I want to tell you that the person's name is Luo Ling. She will be here soon. Come to the capital to meet me."

"Tell me what to do with this? The outside world has nothing to do with me."

"Ah, what I'm saying is, maybe, maybe if you get busy, you'll have less time to come here. If you have any requests, you can tell me and I'll make preparations in advance."

Tasia looked at him steadily, making Xiao Chen at a loss.

"Sometimes you are really self-righteous and annoying." She dropped the wooden board in her hand, "Forget it, can I really ask for anything?"

"Of course. I will definitely do it if I can."

"I want to see the stars."

"What? Looking at the stars? There is only daytime here, I never thought I would need night..."

"Can you understand the pain of someone who lives in daylight all the time?"

"It's a bit scary to think about it. Especially when you want to stay in bed." Xiao Chen agreed.

"So, I want to look at the stars."

"Okay." Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged, and the world began to change.

Suddenly, the "sun" dimmed, and a layer of black mist appeared around it, and then the whole world rushed from noon to dusk, and from dusk to night, as if pressing the fast forward button.

But the night was a bit monotonous because there was neither moon nor stars.

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky and said: "I only remember the general appearance of the starry sky in my hometown, but I am not familiar with the starry sky here. Can you tell me where to place the stars?"

"Just do it as you remember it."

"Okay." As Xiao Chen finished speaking, little lights began to appear in the sky. The Big Dipper appeared first, which is the Ursa Major, and then Draco, Leo, and Boötes... Xiao Chen only remembered the general appearance of the famous constellations. , simply added many constellations from the other hemisphere, and those constellations that could never appear together were displayed on the sky.

"The starry sky in your hometown is so beautiful." Tasia stood up, tilted her head and slowly circled, "But they can't shine yet."

Then the stars began to twinkle.

"You know? Lonely people often like the stars."

"Why?" Xiao Chen looked very sleepy. The change of world just now exhausted his energy.

"Because there are some things that cannot be said to others, but you can say them to them."

"Really..." Xiao Chen's eyelids kept trembling, and he could no longer hold on. He sat on the beach and fell asleep. The moment before he fell asleep, he felt as if a pair of hands were holding his body. , a head rested on his shoulder and said softly: "Thank you..."
