When Sissi regained her sight again, she was no longer in the courtyard of the villa.
The warm sea breeze blew her hair, and amidst the sound of the waves, she saw a full moon falling on the ground.
She quickly realized that she saw a clear and calm lake in front of her, reflecting the stars in the sky and the full moon.
The fragrance of flowers from all around came to my face, and at a glance, under the bright silver light, I saw a beautiful sea of flowers.
At the end of the sea of flowers, there are colorful trees, and under the trees, there is a villa that is not too big.
Grass, lakes, flowers, woods, wooden houses, and distant forests, everything makes up a beautiful ink painting.
Sissi fell in love with this place at first sight.
She walked forward slowly for a few steps, and just saw a cluster of beautiful red primroses standing on one side. She immediately discovered that the lovely gentians there had small blue flowers, and there were a large number of delicate petals on them. Golden cistus, they smiled and nodded in the moonlight.
This field of colorful flowers swaying in the wind completely mesmerized her.
A breeze blew by, and along with the rustling of grass, the fragrance of flowers was refreshing.
"I seem to have been here before." Sissi whispered softly.
She raised her head and looked at Xia Ya, "What's the name here?"
"Avalon." Char said.
Sissi repeated the name, "This name sounds really nice. Is it King Arthur's ideal land?"
Xia smiled and said, "King Arthur really lived here."
Sissi raised her eyebrows and looked at Char.
Char pointed to the lake, "He often wrestles with his lions in this place."
"What does he have to do with you?" Sissi asked.
"I am his teacher." Xia Ya said, "But if we count it by blood, he should be your uncle."
"Uncle?" Sissi lowered her head, "I never knew I had other family members."
"You still have quite a few." Xia Ya said with a smile, "I will always see you in the future."
"Come with me," he said.
With that said, he walked forward along the hillside towards the villa on the hillside.
Sissi turned back and glanced at Lisa, who smiled and said, "I'll check out the grace. You can follow me."
Sissi nodded and followed quickly, but she walked very carefully for fear of stepping on the flowers.
There were other creatures on the grassland. Sissi saw some majestic horses and cattle and sheep. They were all very energetic and grazing with their heads down.
The journey is not too close, but the sea of flowers along the way and the fragrance of flowers brought by the refreshing sea breeze make people feel happy, so it does not feel particularly far.
Sissi followed Xia Ya. If he walked slowly, she would also walk a few steps slower, just parallel to him.
She would secretly look at the strange but familiar man next to her.
My profile looks more like his, Sissi thought to herself.
Seemingly sensing that Sissi was looking at her, Xia Ya turned her head and showed a faint smile.
"What are you looking at?"
Sissi hurriedly looked away, and after a moment she said, "Why do you have white hair and I don't?"
Char raised his eyebrows.
"I used to have black hair." Xia Ya turned around and said, "Your mother also used to have black hair."
"Mother?" Sissi's heart beat slightly.
Many years ago, when she was very young, she always felt as if she had forgotten something, and there was always a gap in her heart.
But she couldn't remember it anyway.
But after Xia Ya said the word "mother", Sissi felt as if her heart was hit by something, and the gap was also touched.
"Is she still there?" Sissi asked softly.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the villa.
Xia Ya raised his hand and held it on the door handle, then opened the door.
Walking up a flight of stairs, they entered the villa.
The interior decoration of the villa has not changed for hundreds of years, and some furniture and tableware are even from hundreds of years ago. Well preserved under the protection of magic.
Sissi followed Xia Ya in and looked around.
Compared to the mansion she lived in before, the interior of this villa was naturally not particularly nice, but it had things that were not found in the mansion she lived in.
A sense of warmth, a thing called life energy.
The tablecloth on the table, the neat cupboards, the paintings hanging on the walls, the sofa cushions on the sofa, and the flower arrangements on the table.
Everything is full of life.
Sissi felt that she should have stayed here before, because the things here were so familiar yet strange to her, as if she had seen them in a dream.
Sissi walked into the room, looked around, and then focused on a painting hanging in the living room.
The painting depicts a starry sky full of movement and change. The sky at night is high and far away, with big stars and small stars swirling in the night sky. The golden full moon forms a huge whirlpool, and the short lines of nebulae are tangled and swirling, as if people can see the passage of time.
Her eyes were directly attracted by this painting, and she stopped here for a long time.
After a moment, Sissi turned her head and asked curiously.
"Who painted this painting?"
"A friend, but he is no longer alive."
"What is your name?"
Xia Ya thought about it for a moment, "It seems to be called Van Gogh?"
Sissi opened her eyes, turned her head sharply to look at the painting hanging on the wall, and said in disbelief.
"Is this a painting by Van Gogh?"
"Yes." Xia Ya smiled, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how much a Van Gogh painting can sell for now?" Sissi said excitedly, "A painting can buy my villa twice!"
"Is this so?" Xia Ya raised her head and looked at the painting and sighed, "It looks like he is famous."
"Are you familiar with him?" Sissi asked curiously.
"That's right, I chatted with him all night and drank some wine. He is a very talented person, but it's a pity that people at the time did not understand his art." Xia Ya said.
Sissi nodded, looked at the painting and said, "I actually can't understand it. In my opinion, this is an oil painting that some children can draw, but his paintings are sold very expensively. But... "
She looked at the starry night and murmured in a low voice, "I can understand after seeing this painting. The world in his eyes does have a different kind of beauty."
Xia Ya smiled and said, "Would you like to see the place where this painting is?"
Sissi turned her head and looked at him doubtfully, "How to get there?"
Ding bell~
The turntable above the door as they entered rang a clear bell.
Then, her attention was attracted by the whistling sound coming from the window.
Outside the window is no longer the sea of flowers on the peninsula, but an endless sea of clouds.
The soft full moon spreads its silver brilliance on the white clouds, revealing endless coldness.
Sissi approached the window in surprise. She discovered that they were no longer on the ground, but in the sky.
The house turned into a huge mechanical creation with wings made of canvas on both sides, but the entire scene of this mechanical creation could not be seen clearly from here.
"This place is actually very close to Sailimu Lake." Xia Ya said, "So it shouldn't take long to get there."
"Is this a movable house?" Sissi's eyes sparkled.
She has been moving around all her life and has never had a stable place to live, so naturally she developed the habit of decorating the house without deliberately decorating it.
This is why she feels that this house is very lively, which is something that the house she lived in before did not have.
From an early age, she dreamed of having a house that would move with her.
In this way, she no longer has to get familiar with an unfamiliar house, and she can also see a lot of scenery.
This is why she likes the frigate so much, because the warship perfectly fulfills her dream.
But I didn't expect that this house was much more perfect than that warship.
It's more comfortable, warmer and feels more like home.
"Absolutely." Xia Ya smiled.
Sissi clung to the window, wanting to take a closer look at the castle. She saw bits of dirt, wood, and steel and a faint glimpse of a chimney spewing thick smoke.
"What is its power system?" Sissi asked curiously.
Char pointed to the fireplace.
Sissi turned her head and looked at the fireplace. The orange flame on the hearth was burning the firewood, making a crackling sound.
Nowadays, many houses no longer have fireplaces because of the environmental protection regulations of the imperial capital. Many houses mostly have collective heating in winter.
But Sissi actually prefers this kind of house with a fireplace, which is warmer and more lively.
Just as Sissi was looking at the flame on the fireplace, she saw that the flame suddenly opened its eyes and even revealed a mouth.
Calcifer blinked at Sissi, "Long time no see, kid."
Calcifer's sudden appearance startled Sissi. Fortunately, although she looks young, she is actually over a hundred years old, so she accepts everything quickly.
"His name is Calcifer, and he is a demon." Char said, "Of course, he is very friendly, and the energy of the entire castle is provided by him. He also provides hot water. If you want to take a bath, you can call him. "
Sissi nodded and looked at Calcifer curiously, "Have we met before?"
"Of course." Calcifer said happily, "You used to chat with me a lot, and you especially liked to tell me stories with a book. Your mother used to like to do this. Sometimes you would even pour me wine. .”
After a pause, he muttered, "Of course it would be great if you could understand that beer is actually non-flammable."
"Sorry." Sissi said.
"Not dead." Calcifer waved his hand.
"Take you to a place." Xia Ya said softly from one side.
He took Sissi and opened a door under the stairs, revealing a staircase going down.
Sissi followed Chara down the stairs.
They passed a lounge and opened a double door.
Behind the door is a library, a very large library with a high roof and marble floors. Orange soft light shines down from the top, making it as magnificent as a royal library.
Rows of brown solid wood bookshelf cabinets are neatly arranged in parallel, and books of various colors are neatly placed in the bookshelves, filling the air with the aroma of books.
Sissi opened her eyes. She never thought that there would be such a large area under this seemingly small room.
"I thought you would be happier." Xia Ya said.
Sissy raised her eyebrows.
"You used to like reading books." Xia Ya added.
"I used to like it," Sissi said, "but I read a lot of books."
"There are many books here that you can't see in this world." Xia Ya said.
Sissi looked around. The barks of these books were very similar. They seemed to be made uniformly and were distinguished by different colors. They looked very comfortable.
The names written on the spine were names she had never seen before, and they were all related to magic. She saw a book about the "Devil's Manual".
After experiencing such a disaster, she really became interested in demons.
Xia continued to go deeper, and Sissi followed him.
She saw the wonders of the deep sea behind her desk at a glance.
Behind the glass was the deep sea of the peninsula, with countless luminous fish swimming nearby, and even whales. The world of the ocean was revealed in her eyes at close range.
There was a shimmer in her eyes and she looked very bright.
She has been to the beach and swam, but she has never seen the scene under the sea.
Of course, she didn't think there would be glowing fish in this world, so magic must have played a role.
"Aren't we in the air?" Sissi asked curiously, "Why can we see the bottom of the sea here?"
"It's the moving castle controlled by Calcifer in the sky." Char said, "For magic, the boundaries of time, space, reality, and illusion don't actually exist."
Sissi seemed to understand something and then nodded.
But soon, she discovered a glowing stone placed behind her desk.
The material of this stone is very strange. There are pits on it, like the moon, but it is glowing.
"This is a 'star'." Xia Ya said, "I picked it from the sky for you."
His words were calm, as if he just bought her a lollipop when he went out.
Sissi opened her eyes and looked at this strange stone in surprise.
To be honest, in her vague memory, or in other words, she had vaguely dreamed about this incident.
But because it was so outrageous, Sissi felt that it must be just a dream.
But she never thought that the most outrageous thing might be the most real thing.
"This thing didn't light up before." Xia Ya said, "But you always said that it's not the stars that don't light up, so I added some magic to it, and now it's a night light here."
After a pause, he commented, "The effect is good."
"You can sit here for a while." Xia Ya said.
Sissi heard what Xia Ya meant, "Where are you going?"
"Go pick up someone." Xia Ya said.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Sissi was silent for a moment, looking at Xia Ya, "I thought you would have a lot to say to me."
"There is still a long time ahead." Xia Ya said calmly, "We have a lot of time to talk, don't we?"
Sissi didn't speak any more, she just turned her head and stared at the "star" in silence.
And Xia Ya waved his hand and turned into countless lights and shadows and disappeared.
Sissi looked around, then walked to the bookshelves, found a devil's illustrated book from the bookshelf, came to the desk, and then sat on the armchair.
The armchair is very comfortable, and the soft cushion on the back sinks in as soon as you lean on it.
The book opened like a bird fluttering its wings, and a whole new world gradually unfolded before her eyes. (End of chapter)
