"The last book mentioned that in the Huodian City at that time, there were treasure-stealing thugs and minions of the Fallen Abyss inside, and there were Winter Dark Sons, Qingfeng Blood Tribe, and Fire God Alice summoning brave men to return a piece of Yanyu... .Uh, uh..."
In the high-altitude clouds where you can overlook the entire Huodian City, there are two women floating here. One is wearing a fiery red windbreaker with flowing red hair, and the other is tied up in aqua blue witch clothes and has blue hair that reaches her ears.
Just now, I was imitating what seemed to be some special way of speaking from another country. But in the middle of speaking, I suddenly got stuck. I suspected that I had forgotten the words. It was none other than the red-haired woman, Fire God Alice.
Good thing.
"The universe is bright." The blue-haired woman, the shadow of the water god Froka, said calmly.
"Ah, yes! A bright world! Fire God Alice summons the brave men to return a bright world to Yanyu!"
"Oh, sister, you said the word "guili" is so hard to remember. It only has four characters. We thought it sounded quite pleasant to us at the time, but as soon as I really wanted to use it, I forgot it."
Alice slapped her thigh with annoyance in her tone.
"Alice, generally four-character words like this are called idioms in Guili. You can't memorize them by rote. You have to understand the meaning and allusions behind the idioms. Moreover, Alice, there won't be any storytellers in Guili. I will be shameless enough to tell my own story.”
Staring at the ice sculptured face of the blue-haired miko opposite, and the serious and serious explanation from the opposite party.
Alice pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, sister, I just had a sudden whim, and I remembered that old man Yan Shen took us to listen to his folk operas. Isn't this similar to the current Yanyu? I was so moved by the scene that I wanted to imitate it. You Stop taking everything so seriously."
"Alice, there must be a limit to imitation. Let's not mention how many times the difference between your flame domain and the return area is. The difficulty of management is very different. Don't forget that what the Rock God faced back then was a demon. , it was an earthquake and tsunami, and the rock god relied on his own strength to clean up all directions and protect a corner of the floating world, and only then did Guili achieve the current prosperity."
"And you, look at what you used to describe the Yanyu dilemma you solved just now..."
The blue-haired witch shook her head and sighed, her hatred of iron not becoming steel was self-evident.
Alice, on the other hand, seemed to have finally passed the exam. She took the 60-point test paper to show off, but instead of being praised, she was compared to top students and severely criticized.
Alice couldn't refute her retort. She was indeed complacent after scoring 60 points, but she could still fight back.
"Oh? Sister, how come you know so much about Guili? There were several sentences just now that I couldn't even understand, but you said them so smoothly, as if you had deliberately memorized them. I said, sister, should you not Could it be that... you like Yan Shen? Otherwise, why are you so concerned about other people’s history of departure and departure? Do you know so much? "
As expected.
As soon as Alice said these teasing words, the ice sculptured face of the blue-haired witch opposite, the water god Froka, showed rare fluctuations.
She gave her sister a hard look.
"Yan Shen is an elder that you and I should respect, and Guili is a governance model that you and I should learn from. Don't talk nonsense."
"Alice, I see that you have been eroded by the Fallen Abyss, and it has become more and more serious. It is too rude."
The chat and banter just now was considered a brief reminiscence between sisters.
When Froka brought the topic back to the point of "falling into the abyss", the atmosphere instantly became a lot more tense.
"You know your own physical condition, you...shouldn't take action."
Although Alice deliberately pulled her neckline very high and did not even wear a skirt, but deliberately chose a windbreaker that could cover her whole body, Froka could still vaguely see that the evil lines symbolizing abyss and depravity had already climbed up. on my sister's neck.
"Oh, I won't take action... Am I just going to watch the ants in the cold winter be so provocative? Watch them kidnap the little girl I finally found and who can place my hope for the future of Yanyu?"
"Besides, your hard work has paid off, right? Now we have two more local witches in the Flame Territory, oh, and one of the ancestors of Qing Feng's blood clan. If you calculate it like this... tsk, it's a big profit. !”
Alice pretended to be relaxed and said, but in fact, she knew deep down in her heart that her sister opposite, the water god Froka, also knew that the current Vulcan was like a source of plague. It would be better to stay at home honestly. Once out, activities, the consequences would be disastrous.
The most intuitive consequence is that there are many more "Death Abyss" seeds in the Yan Territory. They may bring a new Fall into the Abyss, and they may also erode important people in the Yan Territory. It is conceivable that there will be chaos in the Yan Territory in the future. It’s a foregone conclusion.
If we say, the only hope and hope to resolve the situation is...
"Alice, even if you send people to Thousand Islands to find my true identity, I will not give you the Chain of the Water God." Froka shook her head calmly.
On the other hand, Alice seemed to have expected it when faced with such heartless words from her sister.
"Sister, you are still as cold as ever. Not only do you refuse to save my sister, you even...are not even willing to call me sister, and you always only call me by my name."
"Since we chose to end chaos and become new gods, we should have the consciousness and attitude of being gods." Froka replied calmly.
"Oh, really? So this is why you are so obsessed with "destiny"? You should be able to see me and see the fate of Yanyu. Sister, can't this make you shake and let you try? Change your destiny?"
"Even if it's not for your sister, can't it be for our world, which has finally re-established order?"
By the end of Alice's words, the initial frivolity had long since disappeared, replaced by anger, a kind of suppressed anger.
Faced with her sister's questioning, Water God Froka paused for a moment, and finally said the old words that Alice was tired of hearing.
"Destiny cannot be changed, what changes is just the different paths to reach it."
"Okay sister, I know, destiny is determined." Alice ruffled her ears impatiently and waved her hand.
"I was almost brainwashed by you before, but now... Haha, sister, just wait, wait for my little guys to land on your Thousand Islands, and then..."
"I will change the fate you believe in!"
After saying this in Froka's ear with a sneer, Alice's figure disappeared.
The only message left was that she was angry and had returned to her frivolous tone.
"Tsk, no, I have to urge my little guys to set off immediately and leave the Flame Territory. I can't wait to see how they will harm your Thousand Islands, sister, and cause chaos there. It’s over, cluck...cluck..."
The silver bell-like laughter became farther and farther away, and finally only the blue-haired miko remained in silence.
As Alice said, she can see the Flame Territory and see the fate of all living beings. It is for this reason that she uses the "Water Mirror Technique" to come to the Flame Territory and chooses to see her at this time... .younger sister.
The source of this world line that should not exist is...
"Is destiny determined...?"
With the last word "?" as small as the sound of a mosquito, the figure of the blue-haired witch disappeared completely into the sky of the Flame Domain like a reflection in the water.
"I hope you can pass my test and...the test of fate."
...
...
The residence of Count Thisle.
A room in the castle.
open one's eyes.
It's the familiar ceiling.
Wait, why do you say "familiar"?
hiss...
Take a breath.
Countless memories began to emerge from the depths of the woman's mind, giving her a feeling of being torn apart. An ordinary person would probably be crushed by the huge flow of memories in an instant, but as the Witch of Reason, it took less than a few seconds. Within a few minutes, the woman completely accepted it and even summarized it.
It was from this moment that the woman knew that her name was Alina.
Is...
maid.
And the little girl who is lying beside her bed now, seems to have been watching all day, and now sleeps tiredly on her quilt, her name is Vivian.
It's hers...hers...
"Ah! Great, you're finally awake, Alina!" Vivian was already a light sleeper, and the sound of Alina waking up immediately woke up the little girl.
She grabbed Alina's hand, and then asked nervously:
"Alina, you, do you remember who I am?"
"Of course, Miss Vivian."
"Okay... okay!" After hearing her name successfully called out from the maid's mouth, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of sincere joy on her face.
"Alina, I was really worried. When Liz bit your neck, I didn't even dare to look at you!" Vivian looked scared, just like she didn't dare to watch a nurse give an injection when she was a child.
"Bite...neck?"
The maid looked confused. She took her hand out of the bed quilt and touched her neck. Sure enough, just as Vivian said, there was a small and faint bite mark there.
"Miss Liz..."
"Ah! Liz, um... seems to be looking for Master Bai to check her body and see if there is anything abnormal about her after biting you." Vivian explained.
"white..."
This name made Alina instantly find the memory of her scuffle with Bai and others, as well as the memory of the final battle with Vivian.
"Miss Vivian, Alina doesn't understand." The maid suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" The little girl tilted her head slightly.
"Why would you do this for a maid?"
Alina looked into Vivian's eyes, trying to find the answer.
If her "common sense system" is not wrong, servants should be the lowest and least socially status group of people, and they are used more as "consumables".
Therefore, Alina couldn't understand why someone would be willing to pay so much for a "consumable product".
The most likely conclusion she can make at the moment is that she is a copy of the "Witch of Reason", has powerful abilities and is worthy of being saved.
Or perhaps, he wanted to rely on her to find out the organizational force behind the study of witches.
Or maybe, she can use her special abilities to...
While Alina's brain with powerful computing power flashed through more than ten possible reasons, the little girl beside the bed immediately answered an answer that was completely outside the maid's possibilities.
"Why? Of course it's because you are my friend!" Vivian said without thinking.
"Friend...friend?"
Alina showed an expression of astonishment. It was obviously such a complicated and profound question, but the answer was so simple?
The maid glanced at the face of the little girl opposite.
Through calculation and comparison, Alina concluded that the other party had no facial features consistent with "lying".
This proves...
This "Miss Vivian" really thinks so and would rather become a "witch" to save her.
If you look at it this way...
It seemed that the questions she encountered when she first opened her eyes had answers.
Her relationship with the little girl next to her bed was that of...friends.
No.
wrong.
The original "Alina" was Vivian's friend, and she, she... just had Alina's body and Alina's memory.
So, can she...be considered Alina?
the other side.
Seeing Alina's confusion and confusion, although Vivian didn't show it on the outside, she was still very uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't mean it for herself, but for Alina.
The little girl clearly remembered that Vulcan Alice came to look for her not long ago.
First, he told Vivian that the situation was serious and there could be no further delay. After tonight, he would leave Yanyu tomorrow and set off for Thousand Islands.
Alice then checked on the maid.
She told Vivian that Alina's consciousness and memory had been restored, but nothing could come without a price. The price for becoming the "Witch of Reason" was... the loss of her emotional center.
Even if it's not that pessimistic, at least it's damaged, and the possibility of recovery is almost zero.
"Alina, let's sleep together tonight!"
Vivian shook her head and threw all these things behind her. The little girl regained her composure, mouthed the words "Tiger and Wolf", and her eyes shone with expectation.
"What...what!?" Such out-of-the-box thinking caused Alina's brain to shut down for a moment and she was unable to react.
"Yeah, I'm leaving Yanyu tomorrow, and I won't be able to see you all in a short time, so I thought, the last night, well..."
Vivian smiled a little sheepishly.
"I, for someone like me, do you really feel safe sleeping with me?"
"What are you talking about, aren't we friends?"
"But it was me who was your friend in the past, and the me now..."
Alina hesitated for a long time and finally expressed her confusion.
After hearing this, Vivian held the maid's hand again, looked directly into Alina's eyes, and said every word seriously:
"People will change, so no matter it is before, in the past, or in the future, we are still us. The only thing we need to consider is "which" we want us to become."
"Alina...I understand, Miss Vivian, you are indeed a very powerful person." The maid said respectfully.
"So, can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Well, if Miss Vivian is willing, Alina doesn't mind, because we are... friends."
"Great!"
Watching the little girl who was already changing into pajamas and getting ready to wash up, Alina, who was already on the bed, fell into deep thought.
Now, she may not be qualified to use the word friend.
Then...she must work hard to change until she can truly match her past self and inherit the weight of a "friend".
If it were Alina in the past, what would she do if she knew her friend was going to travel far away?
Alina did what she said and began to think quickly.
Then, she came up with a 78% match rate.
The answer is...
oracle!
