I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

And today, a ready-made relationship is placed in front of her.

The long-buried desire had already quietly engulfed Theresa's heart without her knowing it.

Ask yourself, is Theresa really no way to isolate herself from that feeling?

Even though each year in the dream will continue to become a part of Theresa's memory.

But in the final analysis, apart from the twisted obsession and love that had accumulated over hundreds of years.

The Duke of Manchester accounted for less than one-tenth of the dream.

In other words, if Theresa would not develop feelings for the Grand Duke, even if she was influenced by 'herself' in the dream.

Theresa, who has her own 200 years of memories, will never fall in love with Ikaros because of this.

In the end, it was the demon king named Theresa who was moved.

And it just creates the emotion called love.

The influence of dreams does exist, but it is ultimately just an inducement. It is Theresa herself who ultimately develops feelings.

This will not disappear because of Theresa's self-denial, nor will it change because of the existence and influence of dreams.

After all, many times, the emotion called love is so unreasonable and sudden.

But... isn't this also what makes it so attractive?

Chapter 118 True Dragon: You said that the fragments of Duo Shao have gathered together? Six? Ah↗↘

Kazdel was still calm.

But over there in Da Yan, under the same calmness, countless people have already started to become anxious and worried because of some 'small' things.

Especially the Heavenly Masters inside the Simuitai of Dayan, at this moment they seemed to have become ants on hot pot. Not only did the people below begin to carry out emergency mobilization, but the old Heavenly Masters at the top were also arguing fiercely at this moment.

Affected by this, there is now a tense and uneasy atmosphere inside and outside the main hall of Simuitai. The depressing and tense atmosphere is like a wooden barrel filled with gunpowder, which may explode at any time due to the slightest disturbance.

Logically speaking, as one of the most important departments in Dayan, there should be few things that could cause Si Suitai, a pillar of the country, to lose his composure like this.

Not to mention that the reason they lost their composure now was because of a family gathering.

I'm afraid if this gets out and outsiders find out, they'll laugh at me.

After all, Simuitai, one of the three special agencies of Dayan, ranked above the six ministries, actually became so flustered because of a small family matter. It was really laughable.

But...if the word "fragment" of God is added to the beginning of this family gathering, then what was originally a laughable joke will become a matter of great importance concerning the fate of the Great Yan nation.

You have to know that this is just the case when two or three fragments are gathered together.

The Simuangtai would begin to secretly monitor the gathered fragments and prepare necessary force measures.

But this time, it is not as simple as two or three fragments coming together.

At the moment, the number of fragments that can be confirmed is six, which is already half of the number of fragments.

The moment he learned of this information, the candle holder at Simuitai let out a sharp explosion. After confirming again and again that the information was correct and even that it was underreported, he was so frightened that he almost died.

One can imagine how devastating this news was to Simuitai and even to the inner circle of Dayan.

This made the current emperor uneasy, and he quickly sent someone to deliver the imperial edict to interrogate Si Suitai about what he was doing and what the current situation was.

After all, although Da Yan has been recuperating for hundreds of years, the scars left by the battle with the Sui Beast still cause Da Yan's wounds to bleed continuously.

Even after hundreds of years of recuperation and development, Da Yan, which has not yet fully recovered, will never be able to kill gods again.

Therefore, once the Sui Beast revives, even if it is only incomplete, the Sui in a weak state is enough to destroy all living things in Da Yan and turn it into the dust of history.

Therefore, the True Dragon, as the ruler of a country, must figure out what is going on now, and how it is possible to gather together the six fragments that are usually scattered across Da Yan.

Otherwise, if he couldn't figure out what was going on, Zhenlong felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight. He would have to start thinking about how much land he could seize to rebuild Da Yan after mobilizing the entire country to go north to the snowy plains in the heart of Ursus.

There is no way, although the tradition of Dayan has always been to "the emperor guards the national gate and the king dies for the country" even when facing the crisis of national destruction.

But today's Da Yan no longer has the confidence and qualifications to fight to the death with Sui even if he is in a weak state.

There is no difference between reckless courage and foolishness.

Meaningless sacrifices were never what Dayan needed.

Therefore, preserving the fire of Da Yan is the top priority when facing the worst situation.

The True Dragon can allow himself, his relatives, his family and his soldiers to fight for the mountains and rivers of Dayan until the last moment, but he will never allow Dayan to be destroyed.

Therefore, both for public and private reasons, no matter from which perspective he thought about it, he had to find out the current specific situation from Simuitai as soon as possible, so as to make plans and considerations for Dayan's future in advance.

In a hall of Simuitai, an old man in black with white hair and beard, who looked majestic without even getting angry, finished reading the imperial edict from the True Dragon. After putting it away, he frowned and questioned the female celestial master in front of him, thinking about the dire situation at the moment:

"The emperor is in a hurry, and this matter is indeed the fault of your Si Sui Tai."

"But this shouldn't be your fault. I don't think hundreds of years have made you so confused that you can approve the gathering of more than two fragments in the same area at will, right?"

"Don't you know what consequences this might cause?"

The old man's tone was unfriendly, or perhaps this was the best attitude he could show.

Otherwise, if the person in front of him was not the old Taoist priest, but someone else, then when something like this happened, the old man would not say much, and his usual choice would be to execute first and report later.

After all, this was not just a simple dereliction of duty, it was a dereliction of duty that accidentally caused the reopening of Da Yan. The old man, who had always devoted himself to the country and the people, almost fainted when he heard the news.

It's impossible to say that I'm not angry.

“Ah…Ahahaha, ah this, this can only be considered a technical error.”

Facing the old man's questioning at this moment, the old Taoist priest could only smile awkwardly, scratch his head and pretend to be ignorant. After all, although this matter had nothing to do with her if facts were put aside, the old Taoist priest also understood that it was impossible to ignore the reality now.

Although he knew that he would not be executed later, if he did not give a proper explanation now and solve the problem in the end, it would be easy to be dismissed from his post and locked up in a small dark room for a year or two.

Therefore, after seeing the old man's gradually cold eyes and the momentum gathering around him after hearing his words, the old Taoist priest realized that he would most likely be beaten if he said anything else, so he sighed. After realizing that he could not hide anything, he simply told the truth of the matter with a somewhat regretful tone after sighing.

"Oh... I know. It was indeed my fault this time. I didn't know that the nagging old woman Shu had said that she would gather everyone together and make such a big scene."

"You know, in the past few hundred years, Shu has never succeeded in gathering more than two fragments in the Great Wasteland City, so I didn't think much about it and approved it just like in the past few decades."

"Who knew that Shu would become more capable this time and actually shook so many fragments away directly? This is really an unexpected disaster..."

As she spoke, the old Taoist priest herself could not help but shake her head and sigh. Looking back now, she was indeed biased at the time because she agreed without much thought.

But she really didn't expect that Shu would bring her such a big "surprise" in the end.

Alas, it was mainly because she was old and could not stand being bothered by others. She was also scared by the old woman's character. Otherwise, if she changed other fragments, would the old master agree? If I don't ask you clearly about your purpose, I will open your head, okay?

But in the final analysis, it was her fault for failing in her duty, and the old Taoist priest had nothing to say.

But the old Taoist thought that things might not be that bad.

After all, it is a family gathering organized by Shu. Although there are a little more fragments, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

What's more, in that family gathering of the Fragments, there was also someone who dominated the party.

"But... if Zhongyue is here, the problem shouldn't be too big, right? He is still worthy of our trust, otherwise Sui would have awakened a thousand years ago."

Thinking of the steady figure who had been stationed in Yumen for who knows how many years before he was stationed in the northern border of Dayan, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The same was true for the old man in front of her.

"Yes, if Shuo were here, there would be no need to worry so much, but..."

"Huh? But what?"

"But... why was such important news not recorded and reported? Do you know how troubled the court is now because of this matter?"

"Uh, ah this, haha, is there anything I can do? After all, I'm still guarding the border. It's normal to forget some things, isn't it?"

"Oh, I think you have too much free time, but...is the situation stable? And how is your health now?"

"...It won't be a problem in a few decades, but the aura of the things under the land of Dahuang City has become a little strange recently."

"what do you mean?"

"The evil spirit may break out of the ground ahead of time."

“…This is not good news. Do we need the court to send officials?”

"No need to worry. It's enough for Shu and I to guard the north. What I'm more worried about is the relationship between the emperor and Longmen. You know, because of that incident, the two sides have been in a state of tension."

"Don't worry about that. Duke Wei and His Majesty are both people who understand the overall situation and take the overall situation into consideration. Dayan is still safe. As long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will be fine."

"Well, then I'm relieved."

It was a brief conversation and exchange, but the information revealed in it was not simple at all. Although the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward at the beginning due to some reasons, after confirming that Zhongyue had participated in the gathering of fragments, the old man began to care about the situation of the person in front of him while feeling relieved.

He naturally knew that the real body of the old Taoist priest in front of him was not in Dayan, and what was left here was just an illusion of a clone, but the things he needed to say and the condolences could finally be conveyed to the old Taoist priest.

After explaining his current situation, the old Taoist priest also expressed his concerns.

Fortunately, after sharing their good and bad news with each other, Dayan's situation was still within control.

Therefore, after the final communication, both parties no longer asked each other too much about each other's well-being, and tacitly did what they were supposed to do after the conversation.

After the false alarm, the Simuitai and the imperial court finally resumed normal operations.

And what about the family that caused so much turmoil in a short period of time?

At this moment in Dahuang City, everyone was sitting in a circle around the table in Shu's house, facing the table full of steaming delicious dishes, but no one was picking up their chopsticks. They all sat there in silence.

When someone wanted to say something that was intended to cover up something, everyone just looked at that person, and the person who wanted to speak suddenly couldn't open his mouth.

The current atmosphere remained deadlocked.

And in fact, the intelligence network within Simuitai and the old Taoist priest made a slight misjudgment.

The number of fragments in Shu's house today is not six, but except for the deceased Jie, all the fragments have been present at the scene as much as possible in their own way.

Even if there were fragments that really couldn't escape and come here, they all projected their illusions here through their own authority or the power of Ling.

So, actually, it is now in a small room inside the small Dahuang City.

In a sense, all the fragments of the Sui Beast have been collected. If the people of Simuitai knew about this, even the news that Chongyue was in the battlefield would probably scare them so much that they would immediately bypass the current True Dragon and mobilize comprehensively.

After all, the six fragments almost scared the people holding candles in Simuitai to death, and they lost consciousness after making sharp explosions.

What if the news that the eleven fragments have gathered together gets out?

I'm afraid that it would directly make the people of the Candle Holder feel peaceful, and at the same time cause the usually stable Tianshi Mansion to explode, directly putting Dayan into an emergency combat readiness state.

Fortunately, the fragments that gather together with almost the same purpose in their hearts are not stupid.

It didn't allow Dayan to fully understand the situation here.

After all, they don't want to really become that thing of the year old, and develop human nature. And with their own thousands of years of experience and insights, they have already become "people" rather than simple "fragments".

The reason why they gathered here now is actually very simple.

That is, they all want to figure out the extremely realistic dreams they have been having in the past week.

Unlike Theresa, who only gained a dozen years of memory in two weeks.

Perhaps it is because the lives and memories of the fragments are too long.

The time in their dreams is much longer than that in Theresa's, and their dreams have been doubly strengthened.

The influence they now receive from their dreams and the length of the extra memories are incomparable to Theresa's.

Plus some characteristics of the fragments.

Today's fragments cannot be said to doubt that they really have a little sister named Tao, they can only say that they have fallen into complete mental exhaustion over this issue.

For example, Shu, who was supposed to invite everyone to eat, now looks at the table with two people missing. The joy in his heart after reuniting with his brothers and sisters has turned into a sad face.

Xi was staring at a large box of meat pies on the dining table, his hands on his legs tightly clutching a scroll with a gloomy and complicated expression.

Zhongyue also closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, trying to stabilize his state of mind and avoid being overly affected by the dream.

Ling just chose to play badly without any concern.

Nian started to draw on a piece of paper and began to think about the method of making the long sword named Tie, in order to relieve his inner anxiety and emotions.

What about Wang?

Wang, at this moment, was constantly repenting in his heart for the 30th time today, while thinking about how to resurrect Tao and Jie together.
