Evetrona's old stories

Could this time and space—this strange world be a stellar spherical shell transformed by an advanced civilization?Or the remains of an abandoned civilization?

"So... I may be from another parallel time and space?"

"This is highly probable, but it is also possible that you came from 'here' in a certain time period. The uniformity of time and space is still reliable at present. If you can provide some mathematical and model descriptions, maybe we can figure this out-but, after all, the time and space where people exist almost have similar systems. It is not easy to distinguish them. So, if you want to find out about this issue, you might as well ask Evtrona directly... But I don’t think it’s important, after all, even if you know Can't change anything."

"Is Evetrona still alive?" Eve suddenly thought of this question.

"I don't know, but based on what I know about her, I guess she must still be alive." Aixin said.

This is the first time that Eve heard more credible news about Evetrona.And then, Eve asked a question that she had always wanted to know: "What is magic...?"

She also asked Olukin the same question, but the other party's answer did not satisfy her.

"Magic is a kind of resource, and everyone has the right to use it." Aixin replied immediately: "But it does not exist for the sake of equality for everyone - its existence actually exacerbates the gap between people, At least in our time."

"What the hell is it? Where did it come from?" Eve was still reluctant.

Ai Xin looked at her, but didn't answer immediately. There seemed to be an expression in his eyes that Eve couldn't understand, a kind of kindness and helplessness.

"You... don't know either?"

"There are some things, it's not good for you to know too early. If you really want to understand the essence of magic, you might as well stay..."

"Not yet, if there is a chance in the future... I will consider it."

Aixin laughed, stood up, and filled the glass in Eve's hand without any explanation.

"I... don't really want to drink anymore." Eve looked embarrassed.

Ai Xin looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if asking her why.

"This wine made me a little dizzy."

"It's called 'drunk', didn't you know that before?"

"Of course I know, but this wine doesn't seem to be the same as what I've had before."

"The wine that can intoxicate is the best wine. What have you been drinking before?"

Under Eshin's persuasion, Eve drank another half a glass. For some reason, she was not too wary of this scholar.

Aixin knew many of her secrets—about her past and her origins, just like Iftrona; perhaps it was because of this that Aixin was able to gain her trust in a very short time.

"I can see—although you don't know what you want, but you know what you don't want." Aixin nodded, "Maybe this is why Iftrona chose you, yes, it's the current state... Don't rush to act, first see how big the world is."

［208］Rebirth under withering: the microscopic appearance of the stalwart·Part [-]

In this maze-like corridor, Erinde walked aimlessly.She is looking for traces of Eve—in the process, she is also investigating the building, hoping to help the status quo.

Most of the rooms are locked, and in those unlocked rooms, there always seem to be some instruments and equipment that she can't understand.

Among them, there is a room that looks a little different-there are obvious signs of wear on the door frame, but the brand new metal door seems to have been replaced recently.

Erinde stepped forward and turned the doorknob—the room was unlocked.The room was pitch black, she chanted the spell lightly, causing a ball of white light to float above her head, illuminating the surrounding environment.

She saw that there was a whole wall of bottles and cups in this not-so-big room. These exquisite glass products contained liquids of different colors, which looked dazzling under the light.In front of the "bottle wall", a row of long cabinets occupied a large area of ​​the room - in the witch settlement that Erinde was familiar with, there was no drinking place like this.

A small photo frame stood alone on the long cabinet polished as bright as a mirror. Elinde stepped forward and picked up the photo frame.

This is a group photo of a man and a woman - the white-haired woman is sitting on a chair with a smile on her face; behind her, the black-haired man is leaning on the back of the chair with both hands, with an easy-going and friendly expression.

The facial features of these two people gave Elinde a feeling of deja vu.

While she was staring at the photo in a daze, a hand suddenly appeared from the darkness and snatched the photo frame from her hand.

Erinde yelled out in fright, and the other party covered her mouth mercilessly.

"Stop barking," said the man.

Erinde recognized that it was the voice of a scholar.The scholar let go.

"Why did you come here?" At this moment, Aixin shaved off his beard, and Elinde finally discovered that the man in the photo was actually him.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "I came to find Eve, where did you take her?" As soon as she mentioned this, Erinde became a little angry.

"It's still early, and she and I still have some important things to talk about." Aixin put away the photo frame calmly, "When she goes back, that's up to her, girl—you'd better go back and rest first, this place is not as fun as you think."

"What is your relationship with her?" Erinde asked again.

"Accordingly so." Essin bent down and took out two cups from the cabinet.

"But I always feel that you seem to have some prejudice against her."

"I recognized the wrong person, so now the misunderstanding is resolved."

Erinde still wanted to continue asking questions, but in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. It even made people suspect that the conversation just now was just an illusion.Erinde looked around, but found that the environment she was in had also changed. At some point, she returned to the bright corridor.At this moment, a door just opened, and Lelier glared at her, and pulled her into the room.

"Where have you been? Don't run around here." Lelier warned her in a low voice, "That guy is not an ordinary person, don't provoke him—be careful not to be silenced."

Erinde didn't speak, she glanced at Yuqie who was standing aside, and seeing that Yuqie was still indifferent, she sighed helplessly.

"You've been out for so long, is there a room here where you can sleep?" Stricky asked Erinde.

"I don't know." Erinde was a little upset, "I think——it's better for us to go out and set up a tent, so as not to be silenced."

But it was getting late, and everyone actually didn't intend to go out.Stricky spread a tarpaulin on the spot and asked everyone to sit against the wall, planning to rest here for a while.The children sat side by side, eating cheese and slices of bread-if they were not dressed appropriately, they would be almost the same as homeless refugees.

In the middle of the night, the tired people gradually fell asleep in such an environment, and in Aixin's room, Eve was already half drunk.

"In other words, the strange-shaped tree we saw was also formed naturally?" Eve said.

"Yes, unlike humans or animals, plants have strong adaptability. Their trunks are not limited by nerves. As long as the environment is suitable, they can grow across dimensions."

"That place is so weird, I still don't understand how Lelier brought us here."

"The inter-dimensional area you passed through was called a 'passage' before, but now it can only be called a 'gap'." Aixin sighed, "After the 'gate' leading to Qingkong was destroyed, in order to accommodate the human beings of the old era, we built a new sanctuary in the dimension above the ring continent, and connected the sanctuary with the corresponding places of the three continents with countless 'passages of descent'—of course, the feathers and the sky at that time were much larger than they are now. A 'hub passage' was established on the ground, and at that time, those passages would eventually lead to here—Midvalley City."

Zhongguzhou has a low gravitational bondage, and its special geographical environment has also formed the unique sea area and natural wonders around it.Almost all of this continent is surrounded by surging, peak-like icebergs and ocean waves. Even in earlier eras, no ships or aircraft dared to approach this dangerous low-pressure zone rashly.

As the name suggests - here is a "valley".

"But...due to the large-scale distortion of time and space under the doomsday, these passages finally collapsed and broke, and some were cleared out, and now they are barely passable, such as the one you took when you came—that road spliced ​​the breaks of the two passages together...In the past, these passages were carefully laid out, and the scenery inside the passage can be described as 'dream'." Obviously, this scholar still remembers those old things clearly.

"We were still tied with a rope when we came here—what would happen if we got lost here?" Eve was very curious about this.

"There are no protective measures for these passages now. It can be said that you are walking on a narrow knife-shaped ridge. At this time, there are steep cliffs on both sides. If you accidentally step on the air, you will fall - and you will return to the original dimensional space in an instant. But the problem is that you have already walked a certain distance in the passage, so...you may not appear somewhere when you come back. It is best to be on land, but it may also be in an environment such as the sea or high altitude."

"I didn't expect that part of the road to be so dangerous."

"If you insist on coming here, this is the safest and most convenient way..."

"I actually have no reason to come." As the drunkenness surged, Eve felt her body warm—she hadn't felt this way for a long time. "Mr. Scholar, I want to hear about Iftrona. What kind of character is she?" she asked.

"Her personality?" Essin smiled, "I can see that you are very easy-going, but she is just the opposite of you—a very extreme person."

"extreme?"

"If I hadn't left her behind, there would have been one more force in the world that could compete with Yafantu or the White Fox Society." At this point, Aixin paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about this possibility.Then he said: "But she still knew too little at that time. It is impossible for a person to make a favorable judgment if his knowledge is too short. In order to prevent her from doing too many wrong things, I have an obligation to guide her and let her Know the truth. Later, she learned more, and that extreme temper seemed to have disappeared—but it didn’t really disappear, she learned to restrain herself.”

"Is she good?" Eve asked again.

"Which? Brain or force?"

"Tell me about it."

"Of course she is powerful. After all, the blood of the Crow Clan and the Fox Clan is flowing in her body at the same time. Both her mental and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people - I believe you feel the same way."

"me too?"

"Of course, in terms of blood, you can actually be regarded as Evetrona's sister... Didn't expect that?"

"It—I really didn't think about it."

After learning about Eve's identity, Aixin quickly deduced her true origin—because Evetrona had discussed this matter with him in detail, and even discussed various feasible options for action, and relying on her old friend Karoqi's understanding, Aixin did give her a lot of ideas—including how to sneak in and use the "incubation facility."

"Eve, do you really not consider staying?" Essin asked her the same question again.

"No, this place is not suitable for me." Eve said, "I think it might be better for you to go out for a walk than to stay here."

"Maybe, but it's not necessary."

The conversation between the two was quite enjoyable, and Aixin almost knew everything to answer, and in it, Eve also asked him about his inability to use magic.

After hearing her narration, Aixin was not surprised. Although he gave a reply, he didn't explain the reason: "Don't worry, it will recover on its own in the future." He just said this.

Eve drank the wine in the glass again, and decided to leave—half drunk and half sleepy, she felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

So, Ai Xin didn't try to keep her anymore, he got up and sent her out of the room.

When everyone saw Eve coming back, they planned to leave immediately. After all, they didn't rest well that night, so they might as well start their journey early.

"Where are you going now?" Aixin asked them.

"Elf land." Lelier replied truthfully, "Parnas Forest."

"They are all dangerous places." Aisin said, "Sorry, it's not convenient for me to set foot there, but I can still give you a ride... In fact, I suggest you take a rest here for a day."

"It's okay, we will be careful ourselves." Lelier was a little flattered.

The first light of dawn dispelled the phantom of the ether, and the starlight gradually faded, replaced by a touch of fish-belly white in the center of the zenith.They stood on the top of the cliff, and there were fine black cloud shadows floating on the surrounding sea level, and against the background of the rust-red sky, the surging tide was faintly visible.

Breeze rippling nearby.On this relic of the old civilization, all the storms have stopped, as if all the disputes have passed away, leaving only this empty peace.

Before departure, Eve and Yuqie suddenly had a dispute - considering Eve's current state, Yuqie suggested that she ride with him, but the girl insisted that she was sober and not drunk.

Indeed, the Eve that everyone saw at this time seemed to be the same as usual, with a calm expression, but only those who got close to her could smell the strong smell of alcohol on her body.

"Some people are like this. They don't look drunk, but they are actually quite drunk." Yuqie rode on the horse and reached out to Eve, "Only you know what state you are in now. Even if you are not drunk, it is always good to close your eyes and rest for a while."

Eve stared blankly at the outstretched hand, then gently put her own on it.

But just when Yuqie wanted to pull her onto the horse, he felt his hand suddenly sink—he was pulled off the horse by a huge brute force.

When everyone saw the knight fell to the ground, they realized how drunk Eve was.So, they persuaded each other one by one, just like coaxing a child, and persuaded her to get on the horse.

Yuqie sat behind her, holding the rein with both hands, allowing her to lean on her chest.

In the eyes of these witches, the knight had fulfilled his duties as a servant, and his attitude was correct, and there was nothing wrong with it. But on the other hand, Essin frowned—although Essin never admitted it—but deep down in his heart, whether it was Eve, Evetrona, Orosa, or Iate, he would treat them as half daughters—this is probably the so-called love house and black.

After everyone was ready, Aixin also rode on his strange motorcycle.With him leading the way, everyone embarked on the journey again—this group of men, women, old and young, riding on machines and animals, walked on this lost wasteland, and the scene seemed a bit ridiculous.

But just like this squeezed and patched world, the chaos has its own unique order and the value of its aesthetic direction.

"Eve, are you still insisting that you're not drunk?" Streki seemed to be teasing her—she was also riding a horse, walking side by side with Yuqie.

"I'm not drunk..." Eve leaned on Yuqie. She poked her head out of the knight's arms, thought for a while, and then changed her words: "Maybe I'm drunk, but at least I'm still conscious."

"you sure?"

"Of course."

"Are you hungry now?"

"Not hungry."

"Are you drunk?"

"Not drunk."

"Want something to eat?"

"Don't eat."

"Oh--"

The degree of interestingness of a person may be reflected in the multi-faceted and self-contradictory aspects of his personality-although it is difficult to discover, as long as we spend enough time together, there will always be unexpected gains.

Nearly everyone around was laughing, and so was Yuqie, but as a knight, he had to remind Stridge: "Let her rest more."

"It's okay." Eve didn't seem to appreciate this - she has maintained a serious and serious expression since she came back.

The time between dawn and early morning is always precious, it is quiet and energetic, as if reborn, but unless necessary, Eshin almost never goes out during this time.Talking and laughing came from behind him from time to time, but he did not intend to participate in it. The noise is indeed desirable, but it is also easy to lose oneself.

At such moments, the scholar can always recall some vague memories of the past, such as those light and tall buildings, those bustling floating streets, those travelers passing by his side, and his two best friends—Karoqi and Yisheng.

For a person living in the past, there always seems to be such an illusion that the best times are behind us.

But is this really the case?

"Yuqie, I want to ask you a question." Just when Yuqie thought Eve had fallen asleep, the girl tilted her head and asked him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You took me away at that time." , What are you going to do to me?"

［209］Rebirth under withering: the microscopic appearance of the stalwart · Part [-]

The two were so close, as a man, it was impossible for Yuqie not to be shaken.
