because i am stel

Feeling the gathering and circulation of power in the body, feeling the scorching flame.

Maybe it's time for a change.Maybe it's time to look at the world from another perspective.

Tomorrow, when I wake up...let's try to say hello to someone I know.

She let go of her hand, leaning on the pillar and gently lowering her eyes.The moon is in the sky, and the right thing to do now is adventure in the dream world-she hasn't used the word 'adventure' in a long time.After all, in the past, she has always regarded the trip to the dream world as a responsibility rather than her own luck.

So she closed her eyes, perhaps for the first time on Terra, and fell asleep with hope rather than mere business.Levantine flew up soundlessly and floated beside her.And at the moment when she sank into the deep dream, she seemed to feel a slightly cold wind blowing in front of her.

Is anyone here yet?

She didn't know, but she cared a little.

However, at the same time, the dream world had appeared before her eyes.

....................................

It's 4k again...ah, my brain hurts_(:з」∠)_

No.40 Section [-]. To live, one must have a positive attitude

dream.

At the end of the dream is the ocean and the starry sky.

Under the pure black curtain covered with stardust, the transformation of the world is achieved here.

..............................

"Come back... No, I'm here again."

Miss Shirter opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was the familiar yet unfamiliar sacrificial square.She saw that poor ashes Guda was planted indiscriminately on the platform in the center of the square like a piece of rubbish, the sturdy halberd and spiral sword were thrown aside indiscriminately, and there was a circle of panicked footprints around it.

She specially adjusted the time, choosing the landing point to be half an hour after the last time she left.And as she expected, the fire-proof lady who showed her unknown side in front of her has already retreated, and maybe she is sorting out her image in a suitable place now.

but……

— But is this guy in such a hurry?Could it be that she was actually more surprised than me when I ran away?

——And it’s a little strange that I ran away because of my own cognitive problems.But she... She shouldn't know me, and this world shouldn't be a world that emphasizes gentleness, kindness, respect and thrift.There's absolutely no need for her to panic just because she's showing her violent side, even if her ancestors have something to do with me...

—— Strange, really strange... Could it be that this guy really wants to trick me into spreading fire?

There are doubts in my mind, and these doubts will not be answered for a while - since I can't figure it out, let's put it there and don't think about it.After all, the car has already driven to the front of the mountain. Whether it is a trail or a road, it is always possible to find a way and drive there.

——Let’s go to the sacrificial ground first.

The flaming-haired girl was thinking, she stepped forward and picked up Guda's halberd—the relatively bad touch and weight made her frown slightly—this weapon was specially customized for Guda, and every day Every detail is adapted to the original owner's habits and rejects the use of outsiders. Although she knows how to wield a halberd, the power must be compromised before recasting.

——but I don't need it, for me, a better weapon is already in front of me.And on me... I remember that there are still some wedge-shaped stone fragments used to strengthen weapons.

She touched her bag, she didn't have a four-dimensional pocket, so she had no choice but to carry the loot dropped by the miscellaneous soldiers on the last trip.And although reality and games should not be confused, there are always things that should be there.

A few wedge-shaped stone fragments, the element bottle containing the flames, the flame pot she originally planned to use against Guda, and the spoils of war after killing the crystal lizard during the previous recovery—these things are not many, and It's not heavy and doesn't impede movement in the pouch on the belt.In addition to these, she also has a few materialized souls on hand.

Soul, soul is the hardest currency in the Age of Fire.

As an ashes, even if she, Miss Shirtle, has not yet digested these souls, she can use her body as a container to contain them inside her torso.After all, Ashes' body is different from ordinary people's. The body is just a soul container that can be reassembled at any time. Even if it is a severed limb or even a severed head, as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, it can maintain action for a long time.

To put it simply, it is a templated body.Only the blood bar, no vitals.Even with a special dragon hunting pole made by Arnoel Londe on his head, he can rush into the monster group and drive Wushuang like a normal person.

Then everything is ready.

——Well, very good, everything is there, as long as you successfully reach the Fire Passing Sacrificial Field, you can replenish it well and strengthen the state of this body.In that way, I can at least recover one percent of the level of when the soul passed the fire, and it should be no problem to at least clean the high wall.

——But... that's all, I won't play any speedrun this time.Now that you have decided to look at the world with a new perspective.Then the view of the dream world also needs to be corrected.

——Enjoy this time, no... Let’s experience the various styles of this world.In the past, I always had the mentality of handing over the public rations to get it done early, but this time it can't be the same as before.

She put down the war halberd, and then picked up the spiral sword that fell at Guda's feet - a familiar feeling came to her heart immediately, from the spiral sword lingering in the embers, there was a warm heat flow silently, and spread over her limbs Rotate back and forth between.

Spiral sword, king weapon, base of bonfire—after the game becomes a reality, many things that are convenient for playing will naturally cease to exist.In Soul One's era, she saw and touched only one spiral sword from the beginning to the end.Undead campfires exist, but they work in a very different way than in the game.

The difference that it can be burned without a spiral sword.

And it was precisely because of this that this weapon that was similar in effect to Levantine was wielding in her hands.It was so in the past, and it is the same now.

—Try it.

She took a light breath, and raised the spiral sword in her hand above her head, and the end of the sword immediately emitted pieces of fiery fire, and the body and her will were in harmony at the moment when the spirit gathered.In an instant, a small part of her mental power flowed out from her mind, gathered inside the spiral sword and exploded with directional power!

——Combat skills, embers.

The flames boiled, shot, and descended like sea waves following the pointing of the sword. The substantive flame waves had a height of nearly three meters and expanded rapidly toward the distance—accompanied by the impact of high-speed air waves and the burning of the air, a The embers of fire, which was more than one meter wide and more than ten meters long, remained in this not very wide sacrificial square—the ground on the ground showed obvious signs of melting, and at the end of the square, the path leading to the fire transmission The thick gate of the sacrificial field was also opened under the concussion of the shock wave.

The Spiral Sword was stained with flames, and gradually faded in the next half minute.And the spirit flowing out of Miss Shirtle's mind is also replenishing rapidly, and along with the loss of some unowned souls stored in the body, it may return to normal within a minute or two.

"Huh..." The girl exhaled lightly, the familiar touch, the familiar fighting style, and the familiar sword.Except that the sword in her hand was not Levantine, everything was exactly the same as at an ancient time in her memory.And the next thing to do is just...

"Ok?"

She turned her head, and out of the corner of her sight, she saw a white shadow fleeing quickly out of her sight—a little familiar, a little strange, that shadow seemed to be hiding around the gate of the sacrificial field and had been observing her.But when she looked carefully, she didn't know where the other party was hiding.

Is it Bai Ling?Or the fireproof girl in hiding?Or did the white saint who was imprisoned come early?

Unfortunately, this body is still very weak, and it is still far from being able to search for traces of the visitor through the sound of the wind.But that doesn't really matter.After all, I have to stay here for a long time, whether it is a well-intentioned visitor or a malicious spy, there will always be a place to meet in the future.

No rush, no rush.

You can't rush to clear the exclamation mark when you see the task like before.

She rubbed her forehead.With a different body, the loss of two horns on the head is really uncomfortable.Although it can be adjusted quickly, it always feels a little strange.

So she headed towards the Fire Passing Sacrifice——

And half a minute later, from the place where the white shadow finally disappeared.A pair of white rabbit ears, which are absolutely impossible to appear in this world, protrude from behind the hidden stone, and the gray and white crystal eyes are watching someone's distant figure, and the ends of the ears hop lightly.

"Sirtel...is that you?"

....................................

There should be another session tonight

No.40 Three Sections When Trouble Blocks the Door

—Something is wrong.

Miss Shirter walked into the outer ring gate of the Fire Passing Sacrificial Ground, and the scenery in her eyes made her feel a little wrong.

What's wrong?Nothing is right.

She did see a leaden, gray, bleak sky.I did see the continuous thick fog and the occasional city outline on the other side of the cliff.I saw the tombstone and the sealed sarcophagus all over the field of vision.I saw a group of crows whistling low and passing line by line through the air.

She saw death, she saw decay, she saw the decay of flames.However, apart from this, there was one thing missing that appeared in her eyes.

What is it?

do not know.

She looked around and searched around with her eyes, trying to find an answer to the doubts in her heart - she soon discovered a small abnormality.

What about corpses burned to ashes?

What about the living corpses who used to be pilgrims, carrying simple weapons and inhabiting everywhere?

What about those pale bodies that burned out their souls and died around the sacrificial grounds?

where are they

She walked up the stone steps, but all she could see were clumps of green grass growing stubbornly on the dry land.The outline of the building as far as the eye can see is somewhat similar to the game content in the memory of the other world, but they are quite different in many key or less critical parts.

She didn't see a living corpse or a dead body on the way up the mountain—considering the force displayed by the fire prevention lady, it is reasonable to speculate that the small fish soldiers who cleaned up the sacrificial field for this lady Not unacceptable.However, after letting herself reluctantly accept this explanation, the doubts in the girl's heart still haven't dispelled.

That's not it.

There are no living corpses here, and the lack of dead bodies is certainly an anomaly.But 'wrong' doesn't mean that.This doubt comes from the bottom of her heart, from another area that cannot be confirmed by the eyes, from intuition, from wisdom and instinct - something unexpected happened to her.And this matter is closely related to her.

"Is there something wrong?" She stopped and glanced in the direction she came from behind.There seemed to be a ray of cold wind brushing her fingertips, but when she looked closely, she only saw the grass swaying.

——It was the stalker, that Shiro.

Although she didn't see anyone, she was sure that someone was sneaking nearby.After all, physical fitness belongs to physical fitness, but experience and skills will not be weakened.She only needs subtle clues, and she can guess many things.

So……

—Do you want to catch it?Or just wake up directly and see if there is any strange movement in the real world?

The girl thought to herself, but quickly denied her last thought.

—Be normal, I want to keep being normal.Now that I have decided to face the world in my eyes in a more relaxed way.Then you won't be able to be as nervous as before...

"—a ghost!"

Exhale, open your voice, and burst out with strength.

In the blink of an eye, Miss Stelter, who was holding the Flaming Spiral Sword, rushed to the surrounding area of ​​the swaying grass like a swift shadow.The sword comes out and the shadow follows, leaving three points and seven points of strength, the flexible grass leaves are all cut off.

"come out!"

Her voice blasted the air, resounding around and knocking down all the blades of grass nearby.However, outside of this, the area of ​​sight is still empty.

not here.

But certainly not far!

She sensed the flow of air and the change of her breath. It seemed that cold water vapor was condensing, and the place where the energy gathered was definitely not far from here!

--on the right!

The figure swayed slightly, and the spiral sword blade was stained with molten fire.A sharp ice edge grazed the position where she had stopped before and shattered on the surface of an old stone tablet.And without any hesitation, she slashed in the direction of the cold air——

'Bang——' The sound of the ice breaking was familiar to her, and she subconsciously withdrew some strength.A fighting killer move that was ready to go also turned into a grab that restricted the movement at the moment of the shot-the white figure seemed blurred in the high-speed movement but seemed familiar, and the girl's exclamation made her suddenly widen eyes.

--what happened?This voice...how did this voice appear here?

The voice of her heart moved faster than her movements, but when she turned her thoughts, she felt a soft touch in her palm.As the rotating field of vision stabilized, a familiar face immediately appeared in front of her eyes—grey eyes, snowy hair, delicate face, erect ears—how could this person appear here, in this world? How could there be her!

She was even held down by Zheng himself and pushed to the ground covered with soft grass! ?

"Yelena?" Shirtel couldn't help but exclaimed, she couldn't believe her eyes.

And the moment she blurted out, the struggle in the girl's hands and the resistance in her eyes faded away in an instant.The limbs became a little softer, which made her press a little tighter.

"Sirtel? Is it really you?"——The familiar voice completed the last fragment of speculation.

well.

This is just great.

Although I don't know whether the problem is the world or myself, but in short, the trouble is big now.

"...wait for me." Shirtel took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

——I want to go back... No, not back, but open the way back for me!

The girl's will pried the principles of the world, and the portal to the present world opened in her cognition.Like every trip to the dream world, her ego rose to the surface of the ocean of worlds like a light in the depths.This should have been a road of return without any surprises, but this time the unfolding was different from usual.

Can't get in!No matter how you think about it, you can't get in!

The gate between the two worlds is indeed open, but my own thoughts can't push me in the direction I came from!

Is the door smaller?No, the door is the same as before... It's because my scale has increased, there is a margin around me, and I have brought other things during the journey between the two worlds!

Although I don't know how she got here.But now, only one channel of will can be crossed, and there is no way to take away two souls at once!

Shirtle, opened his eyes.

She looked at the girl below her with complex eyes.

- Big trouble, big trouble big trouble big trouble big trouble big trouble big trouble.

— Phew... Calm down, calm down, the most urgent thing now is to find a time machine — Gan!But I'm a time machine but I can't figure out what to do!

Her mind turned, and she kept this action of pushing Yelena to the ground for a full 15 seconds.Until Yelena's cheeks were stained with a touch of blush, she never paid attention to the details that should be noticed no matter how you look at it.

She just let out a long, faint sigh.

"You are not mistaken, I am indeed... I am Shirtel."

..........................................

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and there will probably be three more (limited on the day).I hope that the first order will be at least five hundred _(:з」∠)_
