(This chapter was originally published after the two volumes of StarCraft were finished, but I decided to publish a chapter in advance now! You can read it in advance. I think you all understand why!)
After finishing the StarCraft volume, Anne, the head of the Federation of Heroes who ruled most of the Koprulu sector, finally took out her treasure again, opened the portal of the space gem, and set foot on her homeward journey. journey...
This time, to Anne's surprise, the space gem that always caused trouble seemed to suddenly become somewhat reliable?
"Huh? Tibbers, are we...really back home?"
After temporarily bidding farewell to the reluctant Galen, Darius, the two Federation generals, Leona the Consul, and other people in the Federation, little Annie walked out of the space door and came to a planet that she was very familiar with. .
At this moment, she was floating in the air, looking at the forest below, smelling the familiar air, and the star in the sky that she had seen for several years, and its familiar and warm light...
This...should be Valoran, right? You can’t go wrong!
Aha! This time, my Majesty can finally come home?
(Little Master Anne, actually, I really don’t want to bother you right now... because I discovered something strange: although this is 100% Valoran, it is definitely not the Valoran you are on. Planet Roland!
——I don’t know if he discovered something special. After being silent for a while, Tibbs struck his master Anne mercilessly. )
"Tibbers! You must be talking nonsense again! This is obviously our world of Valoran!"
Just floating in mid-air, little Annie raised the little bear in her arms in front of her with both hands.
"Look at the forest here, the vegetation here, the familiar smell of magic elements in the air, and the sun in the sky! This place is clearly Valoran!"
Annie can be 100% sure: this must be Valoran, it can't be wrong!
What makes her a little strange is that she can't seem to locate the coordinates of the teleportation platform of the main castle of Gray Order in the land of voodoo?
This made it impossible for her to locate it directly and teleport it back!
There must be some lazy guy who accidentally closed the teleportation circle and then forgot to open it, right?
That must be the case!
So, after she first figured out the location and determined the orientation, she could then use a few long-distance teleportation spells to teleport directly back to the Voodoo Land. These little things would definitely not trouble little Annie herself.
(Yes! This is indeed the world of Valoran, but it is not the Valoran you are in! It is another parallel plane, just like the Earth where you have been to many different worlds...
——Tibbers sighed again, his little master was actually quite pitiful. Look, after traveling to so many worlds, I finally returned to Valoran, but who would have thought that here is actually a parallel world of Valoran...)
"How do you know?"
Anne looked at Tibbs in her hand with disdain, this bad thing.
Why does it dare to say that this is Valoran in the parallel world? I didn’t even notice any difference!
The planet is still the original Valoran planet, and the sun is still the same sun she has seen since she was a child. Even the stars in the sky that ordinary people cannot see during the day are the same!
So, how does it know that this is parallel time and space? What evidence is there?
It must have been nonsense!
So, little Annie didn't care, she had to prepare to determine the location, and then teleport home directly with a whoosh! Mom, Amorin and the others must miss me very much, right?
If you do the math carefully, it seems that you have been away from home for several years...
(Of course I know! Look at the two little girls below, playing in the woods... - This is why Tibbers dares to assert that this is the world of Valoran in parallel time and space! There is nothing better than this More evidence!)
"Ah? Huh?!"
This, this, this... this is impossible!
Annie, who was using magic to float, finally came back to her senses from the excitement of returning to the world of Valoran after being reminded by her little bear Tibbers.
Then, when she looked in the direction indicated by the little bear, she suddenly became stunned. She just stood there in mid-air, with her mouth half open, motionless...
————
Following little Annie's gaze, two little girls were playing on the grass at the bottom of the forest.
"Andy, come here quickly..."
Today, Annie and her sister Andy were going out for a routine play and picnic. The two of them brought a basket of apples and some lunch boxes.
And playing with her was her sister Andy.
Annie still remembers that soon after Annie's father found her a new mother, she had this sister Andy who was almost two years younger than herself.
Andy can be said to be one of the few people she can play with.
Because Anne herself also knows that her own body seems to be a little different from ordinary people... terrible things often happen...
Therefore, in normal times, other children would not dare to come and play with me...
Although, Anne also knows that her new mother hates her, and she doesn't like her very much either...
However, Annie still likes her sister Andy very much! Like it very much!
Also, she also likes her father very much!
only……
Why did they bury their mother...
Did you...did you do something wrong before?
…
"Look! Annie, there is a beautiful blue butterfly?!"
Suddenly, Annie and Andy, who were playing on the lawn, soon discovered a large blue butterfly with black spots. It lay on the nose of Tibbs the bear who was placed under the root of the tree. There it flapped its big blue wings slightly.
It looks so beautiful! All of a sudden it attracted all the attention of the two little girls.
So, the two little girls quickly abandoned the fruits and other lunches that were in the basket and placed on the tree stump, and began to move cautiously towards the butterfly.
"ah!"
Unfortunately, just when Annie's little fingertips were about to touch the blue butterfly, her sister Andy swooped over and scared the butterfly away.
"Wow! It flew away?!"
Seeing the beautiful butterfly about to fly away, of course little Andy would not give up easily!
So, she followed the butterfly with her bare feet, trying to reach out to catch the beautiful little thing that was trying to escape.
"Ah! Andy! Wait!"
Soon, Anne, who was following her sister, realized that there was danger ahead, and she quickly spoke, planning to call her sister.
Because, she discovered that in front of her, in the direction where the butterfly flew away, was a small, fast-flowing river! Normally, they would never come here to play easily, and their father and mother wouldn't let them either!
But today, after chasing butterflies, the two of us unexpectedly ended up here inadvertently?
"Andy! Stop, there's danger! Stop!"
Seeing her sister still laughing and jumping around chasing butterflies, and jumping onto the big rocks in the fast-flowing river, Annie could only quickly catch up and try to hold her sister back.
"Wow!!"
Either because of carelessness or because she was chasing the butterfly and forgot to look at her feet, her sister Andy suddenly fell on the smooth pebbles and fell into the rushing river.
Before her eyes, she was about to be washed away by the flood...
"Ah! Andy! Catch it!!!"
At the critical moment, Annie lay on the big pebbles and stretched out her hand to grab Tibbs. Then, how pitiful it was, her sister Andy also grabbed Tibbs's hand in time. Little brain.
"Hold on tight! Andy! Don't let go!"
While lying on his own pebble, he pulled Tibbs' leg hard, trying to pull his sister Andy back from the river.
"Andy! I got you, I got you!"
Anne gritted her teeth and continued to exert force to resist the force of the river.
It's a pity that she is just an ordinary eight-year-old girl now. Her strength doesn't seem to be enough to pull her sister up from the rushing river?
So, when Annie was secretly worried and emotionally agitated, the strange power of fire on her body and her little bear Tibbers actually began to burst out that terrifying and hot power of fire...
"ah!!!"
At this moment, Andy, who could barely hold on to Tibbs' head, was so burned by the suddenly hot teddy bear Tibbs that he subconsciously let go...
"No! Andy!!!!"
No, how could it be like this...
Anne lay on the pebbles, stretching out her short little hands helplessly, and just watched helplessly as her sister was gradually swallowed up by the rushing river...
How could this be...
No……
————
No, how could that be?
It shouldn't be like this...
Why does she look so much like me?
High in the sky, little Annie murmured to herself in disbelief.
She looked at the little girl lying on the big pebble below, calling her sister heartbrokenly. She looked exactly like her and had a little girl named Tibbs the same toy.
(Ouch! My little ancestor! Don’t ask why, hurry up and save people first! The little girl below is about to drown!
——Compared to his little master being shocked by the cruel reality, Tibbers is much more reliable! Therefore, after it saw the little girl below who was about to be submerged in the river, he immediately reminded his little master. If that little mortal girl was drowned for a long time, she would definitely die! )
"Huh? That's right..."
The hand of the mage!
Without thinking, little Annie stretched out her little hand and subconsciously pointed at the little girl who was about to be submerged in the river!
Then, she quickly and easily lifted the other party out of the river...
"Ah...great! Andy! Are you okay?!"
Annie, who was originally in despair, saw her sister Andy flying up from the river inexplicably. She was shocked for a moment, and then immediately became ecstatic.
Very good! My sister is okay!
This is really great!
"Why?"
Huh? Is there a weirdo who can fly?
wrong! A flying...self? !
While her sister was flying towards the river bank, Annie also saw another version of herself with a face exactly like her own, but with different clothes, slowly flying down from the sky.
Huh? Is she waving to herself? What exactly is going on?
Seeing her sister lying in shock on the grass on the bank of the river, choking on the water, and the weirdo waving to her, Annie didn't need to think too much, and quickly hugged her arms tightly, which was missing from Andy's hold just now. Tibbers, who had a blind eye, wiped the tears from his face, and jumped from the big pebbles to the river bank in a few seconds.
"Ah? That's strange. Am I dazzled? Why are there two sisters Anne?"
Finally, Andy stood up unsteadily after lying on the ground and choking on several mouthfuls of river water.
When she saw two sisters Anne who looked exactly the same standing on both sides of her, she was not only a little stunned, but also rubbed her eyes vigorously.
"Thank you for saving my sister... But who are you? Why can you fly? And why do you look exactly like me?"
Anne breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that her sister was okay.
Just now, I almost caused another big trouble!
Then, she looked at the strange man opposite her with doubtful eyes, who looked exactly like her and was wearing very gorgeous clothes.
"That...this matter is a long story..."
Looking at the wet little girl, then looking at the other person's face and Tibbers in his arms, little Annie suddenly became frustrated.
Here, it may be exactly what Little Bear said...
This world of Valoran seems to be really a parallel world...
Although it is also Valoran, it is not my own Valoran...
So annoying!
The space gem is indeed an abominable piece of broken stone!
————
Finally, after the three of them got to know each other, they returned to the tree stump where the two little girls had played before.
"Although I don't know why you look exactly like me, but in order to thank you for saving my sister Andy, we treat you to eat this apple!"
While curiously looking at this weirdo who looked just like her, Annie picked out the largest and reddest apple from the basket, and then handed it over carefully, while glaring at the little bear in the other person's arms.
Her little bear... seems to be the same as hers?
What happened today is really strange...
"Thank you... In that case, I'll treat you to these magic cakes too!"
After taking the apple handed to her by another person, little Annie felt a strange feeling in her heart.
So, she generously took out two of the most delicious Quel'Thalas magic cakes from her space pocket.
She doesn't have much of this kind of cake, and she usually doesn't want to eat it!
"Wow! That's great! I actually have two sisters Annie! One of them can even conjure delicious things!"
Andy on the side couldn't understand why there was another sister Anne, so he stopped thinking about it.
Soon, she carelessly pounced on the big piece of magic cake and started eating it without thinking.
"What's wrong? Why don't you eat it? This is delicious!"
Little Annie asked curiously while nibbling the apple given to her by the other party.
"Is this... magic?"
Anne looked at the cake that was conjured in front of her, and when she thought about this weirdo who could not only fly, but also used magic to save her sister, she suddenly became a little hesitant.
"Yes, this is magic! Can't you do it too?"
After taking another bite of the big apple in her hand, little Annie asked curiously.
She doesn't quite understand why she is so strange.
Little Annie could see that the self in this different plane also had surging magic and fire power in the other person's body, although it was not as strong as her own!
So, why didn't she save her sister who fell into the water just now? Just lie on the big rock and cry? What's the use of that?
"They all say...I am a weirdo...and magic...is very bad..."
After hearing that the cake was indeed something related to magic, Anne's hand that was about to touch the cake quickly retracted.
She just hugged her little bear Tibbers, staring blankly at the cake, not saying anything at all.
"That's nonsense!"
"Who said magic is bad? Let me beat him to death!"
Seeing some people say that magic is bad, little Annie felt a little angry.
"Annie, you have to believe me. Only magic can allow us to do whatever we want! Only magic can allow us to protect everything we love! Only magic can allow us to do things that many people can't easily do! Who dares to say If the magic is not good, we can beat him! If anyone dares to call us weirdos, we can burn him!"
Little Annie grabbed the big apple with one hand and raised her little fist.
This feeling of oneself persuading another self is so strange!
How could she have such a bad idea about magic in this plane? This is wrong!
Therefore, little Annie decided that she must correct the other party's outrageous and wrong view!
Magic, it is magic!
How could magic be wrong? What's wrong can only be the misunderstanding of mortals and people who can't use magic!
If there is really something wrong with magic, it can only be that the magic that the person knows is not strong enough and cannot use magic to achieve his own wishes!
(My little master, is it really okay for you to distort the world view of an eight-year-old girl like this? - Tibbers couldn't stand it anymore.
The Anne of this world is obviously an inexperienced and well-behaved little girl. She can't just let her bad mistress teach her bad things! )
"Shut up! Tibbers, I'm eight years old myself!"
(…)
"But... terrible things often happen to me... Mom Amorin also..."
Thinking of her buried mother, Annie's eyes began to fill with tears.
She just hugged her little bear and curled up next to the tree stump, staring blankly at the cake on the tree stump and sister Andy who was eating the cake vigorously.
"..."
Little Annie squinted her eyes seriously and thought for a while. She didn't quite understand why she was like this in this world.
"Okay, Annie...let me teach you how to use your power correctly! I also want to teach you what real magic is!"
After taking two more bites of the apple in her hand, she looked at her "sister" Andy who was blooming in another world in her name. Little Annie seemed to have guessed something very bad.
She had a vague idea that she and her family in this world seemed a little different from her own voodoo land? Otherwise, why could she still not be able to control her body's power at the age of eight? Even her own sister fell into the water and there was no way to save her?
Thinking about myself back then, when I was just three years old, let alone this small river, even the old dragon that had been rampant in the voodoo land for many years, wouldn't it have been burned at my own request?
Hum! Who dares to say that Annie is a weirdo, and whoever dares to say that magic is bad, that old dragon is the best example!
"Sister Anne, are you going to teach little sister Anne magic? I want to learn too, I want to learn too!"
Little Andy, who was eating a delicious cake from the High Elf Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, came over with her hands full of cream after hearing the words of the new big sister Anne.
Normally, Sister Anne is the only one who knows magic! And now if she had the chance, of course she would also learn it, especially the flying trick!
If she could do it herself, then she would never be afraid of falling into the river again!
"But...magic is bad...Dad will hate Annie...and so will the new mother..."
Seeing that this weirdo named Annie wanted to teach her magic, Annie seemed a little hesitant and didn't dare to agree.
She has known for a long time that flames will erupt from her body for no reason. This is why others say she is a weirdo and dare not play with her...
And today, because of the flames on his body, Andy's sister almost drowned...
Therefore, she is somewhat subconsciously resisting this terrible thing called magic.
"That's nonsense! Come on, let me teach you what real magic is!"
Little Annie has already figured out that the other party doesn't know any serious spells at all? !
This Annie in this plane, what she knows is just the instinctive magic flame! Thinking about it this way, she has never been able to learn magic seriously and systematically, right? That's why there is such a statement?
and……
The Tibbers in the opponent's hand... actually dared to appear casually and devour the master?
Just now, if I hadn't happened to be there, sister Andy would have drowned because of it, right? This is really great!
Hehehe...
Little Anne decided: Later, she would teach Tibbers in this world a lesson, and she would let him know how terrifying Head Anne was!
She also wants to let Tibbers in this world know what kind of miserable end will happen to any pet that dares to disobey its master's orders and turn back on him? !
Anne decided that her newly invented 10,000 ways to torture people would be tested on Tibbers in this world! You must let it know, why is the flame so red?
(…)
(Lord Anne, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please don’t come against me! I am your best little bear, your most humble servant, and your most capable assistant! I am not from this world. This heartless, stupid thing!
——As if he had a premonition of something very bad, Tibbers the Bear quickly jumped out and clarified.
It must let its little master know that Tibbers himself is definitely not the same person as the Tibbers in this world! She must not be too general...)
…
Time flies so fast, one afternoon has passed!
"Sister Anne, are you really not going home with us? I think my parents will be very happy to see you!"
Not far from Annie and Andy's home, little Annie sent them back here and was about to say goodbye and leave.
This made little Andy, who had only been exposed to it for one afternoon, very reluctant to let go!
She finally got another eldest sister, Anne, who seemed to be more powerful, but now they are about to be separated so soon?
"Annie..."
Anne was also very grateful to this person who looked exactly like her and was said to be from another world.
Because the other party not only saved his sister, but also opened a door to the magical world for him!
Recalling the endless knowledge that the other party had forced into her head, she felt that she would never have that kind of magic runaway in the future, right?
It turns out that the series of bad things that happened to me were not my fault, let alone the fault of magic, but the fault of ignorance?
Therefore, she secretly made a decision: she must carefully and carefully learn this knowledge from herself who came here from another world!
She wants to be a powerful mage who can use magic to protect herself, her family, and her sister!
Most definitely!
Since she in another world can be so strong, then Annie believes that she can too!
"No...they are just your parents, but not mine...so, it's better not to meet..."
From a distance, little Annie saw a man and a woman in front of the big wooden house in the distance.
Although that man looks almost the same as his father, the mysterious warlock, he is too weak!
His own father, his own father who was a powerful mysterious warlock, there was no way he could be such a weak scumbag with a combat power of only five!
snort!
"Goodbye, Annie, and sister Andy, I'm getting ready to go home too!"
After waving goodbye to the two reluctant sisters, little Annie teleported and disappeared in front of the two of them with a snap.
Now she really has to find her way home.
Since this world is Valoran, she remembers that there is a certain existence that seems to be able to help her travel through different planes and find her way home?
Come to think of it, I am not far away from returning to my true home in the land of voodoo, right?
As for whether the other party will help her, little Annie has no worries at all!
Because if the other party dares to refuse, she will accidentally open the space door and summon several nuclear arsenal Star Destroyers from the Koprulu sector. Then...
Hehehe...
Feel the end of the world and embrace the light of the sun... Foolish gods!
Are you afraid of 10,000 high-yield fusion bombs?
In the Koprulu sector, the glory of the great Head of State Anne can shine on countless galaxies!
————
"Dad, Mom! Let me tell you good news! Today, I accidentally fell into the water, but I was rescued again! It was a big sister also named Annie who rescued me!"
In the distance, after Annie teleported and disappeared, little Andy quickly threw herself into the arms of her parents and said coquettishly.
"What?! Is this happening? Annie?!"
Hearing their little daughter He Mo's words, the couple quickly checked Little Andy's body carefully. It seemed that the clothes on the other person's body really had signs of being soaked by water?
"Don't worry, Dad, everything is over! Nothing bad will happen again in the future..."
From now on...I will never get into trouble again...
Because, I am different now!
Anne looked at her little hand. In the palm of her right hand, a flame that no one else could see was beating gently according to her will.
It turns out that magic can still work like this...
Look at Tibbers on his left hand again. It is said to have been repaired very badly today? And he forcibly signed a magic contract with himself?
In this case, Tibbs can be manipulated by him at will? Never mess around again? This is really great...
Thinking of this, Annie couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Huh? You kid, why did you suddenly become weird today? Forget it, come back for dinner."
Seeing that nothing happened to the two children, he didn't want to go into details and quickly waved to Anne.
"Dad! Let me tell you, today's other sister Anne also gave me a bracelet. Look, isn't it beautiful?"
After being held in the crook of his left arm by his father, and seeing that the other party also bent down and picked up Sister Annie with his right hand, little Andy stretched out his little hand.
On her right wrist, there is a beautiful little bracelet...
"Little Andy! Are you accepting expensive gifts from others casually again? Return them quickly!"
Andy's mother immediately became a little nervous after seeing the exquisite bracelet on little Andy's wrist.
At first glance, you can tell that this thing is not a cheap item, right? It's not a good idea for Andy to accept gifts from others casually like this! The best thing is to return it to others as soon as possible?
"I didn't accept random gifts from outsiders! This was really given to me by Sister Anne!"
Hearing that his mother wanted to return this beautiful bracelet, little Andy was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
"Annie?"
Seeing her father and her new mother looking towards her, Annie could only cover her cheeks with a headache.
How should she explain this matter...
