Chapter 3: Awakening
He saw a pair of eyes, the only luminous objects in the darkness that seemed to swallow people's hearts, and they were very dazzling. The scarlet pupils are printed with dark golden patterns, and those eyes are lifeless, like a dead corpse staring at you in the dark, and staring at them will make you feel a sense of loneliness.
"Zero. ”
“......”
"You still have a mission to complete. ”
"We must not sleep here forever!"
"Zero ......"
"Zero!"
Zero snapped his eyes open, gasping for breath. He was pale and sweating, looking at the empty room with a bewildered expression.
He seemed to have had a long dream, in which he kept looking at a stupid teenager. The dreary and depressive atmosphere, the suffocating feeling, made him want to shout loudly many times, but he was silent, he was like a drowning person floating and sinking under the water, trying to shout for help, but when he opened his mouth, water poured into his mouth, making him constantly drowsy......
I don't know how long it took for him to come to his senses. All the most basic perceptions of being a human being gradually awakened, he sat up slowly, then looked down at his palms, clenched his fists weakly and released them, panting slightly.
"I ...... Who is it?"
Zero raised his head and scanned the room, which was a very Western retro style room, richly decorated and warmly styled. He got out of bed, no shoes, he could only step barefoot on the soft carpet, the sun fell to the ground through the window, he looked out the window in a daze, and walked to the door.
He opened the door of the room, looked at the rows of pavilions and palaces in front of him, took a few deep breaths, the sun fell on his face, he slowly raised his head, raised his hand and opened his five fingers, squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun in the blue sky through his fingers.
Wayne stepped into the mansion and watched as Rune approached him. He moved steadily, Rune following by his side.
"How's Jeno doing?" Wayne asked in a deep voice.
"I'm in good physical condition, but there's still no sign of waking up. Rune replied.
After a moment of silence, Wayne paused as he looked up at the front. Rune followed and looked ahead, only to see Jeno standing in the middle of the main courtyard and looking up at the huge front hall in front of him.
"Look, Master!" said Rune, in surprise.
Wayne curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Jeno as he slowly turned around. The young man's eyes were misty and dazed, the breeze blew his slightly curly brown hair, he looked at Wayne and calmly asked, "Are you my father?"
"It's me, my child. ”。
"Wayne, Wayne, Jano, where is he?" Nasha asked Wayne as she walked in surprise as she sat on the high chair in the main hall, her eyes red and her voice trembling.
Wayne pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at the ecstatic Nasha and Leah who followed behind, took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "I don't know, I should be wandering around somewhere in the house." ”
"Why don't you look at him?" Nasha said reproachfully.
"He has hands and feet, what are you looking at him for?"
Wayne put down the teacup and beckoned to Leah with a smile, Leah obediently walked up to him, Wayne picked her up and asked her, "How is it?
Leah nodded, then looked at Wayne, opened her big clear eyes and said, "Dad, I want to go see my brother." ”
Wayne smiled and put her down and said, "Then you go and get your brother." ”
Leah laughed and ran away, and Nasha asked Wayne, "Jeno...... Can you really talk?"
Wayne looked at Leah's departing figure, then looked at Nasha, and said with relief, "God still favors our son, and Jeno has returned to normal." ”
"Oh my God......" Nasha covered her mouth, her eyes moistened.
Wayne got up and walked over to her and hugged her into his arms.
On the side of the stone bridge in the garden, Zero looked at the lake in a daze.
The people here call him Jeno, which is the original name of this body. He had never had such an experience, as if he had been transferred to this world after death, but retained his original memories, which was very unconscionable.
The feeling of this body was very strange, but he couldn't tell what it felt, maybe it was that the young body contained his adult soul and he couldn't adjust to it for a while. Zero looked up at the blue sky with a few white clouds, and the gentle breeze swept across his cheeks, and he let out a long sigh of relief......
He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with this, in the original world, he no longer had any worries, there were no relatives and friends around him, and the only girl he liked since he was a child was going to get married soon, and he lived a worry-free life from now on. But what about him? The original company collapsed, he was unemployed and couldn't find a good job, and he had planned to stay away from that city after attending her wedding to earn a living, and his life was nothing to look forward to, but now it's okay......
Zero slowly lowered his head and looked at the fish flicking their tails and making ripples on the surface of the water from time to time under the calm lake, he had never seen such fish, but they were beautiful, he smiled.
Zero suddenly had a strange sensation, his head heating slightly, feeling like he could grasp something. He stared at a small fish with beautiful light blue scales under the water, and felt it struggle, its body shook unnaturally, and suddenly with a "poof", the fish jumped out of the water. It is not accurate to say that it jumped out of the water, but rather, it was more like it was "caught" out of the water by something, and at this time, it was floating above the surface and writhing and struggling.
Zero was startled by this sudden scene, and suddenly a childish voice sounded behind him: "Arnold, you are here!"
Zero turned his head sharply, and the floating fish also fell into the water.
Leah looked at Zero who was squatting by the lake and ran to him excitedly, she looked at him with bright and clear eyes, and asked childishly, "Arnold, what are you doing here?"
The first time Zero saw this little girl, he was attracted by her bright eyes, which were a pair of beautiful eyes, large and double eyelids, because of his young age, those eyes were full of innocence, and he could clearly see the beautiful lines in the clear light blue pupils, as if two exquisite blue crystals were inlaid on the girl's childish and beautiful face. It was a pair of very gentle eyes.
"Arnold, are you alright?" the girl asked, gently stroking Zero's cheek with a look of concern.
Zero came back to his senses and subconsciously took a step back.
"Uh...... Are you my sister?" he frowned slightly, vaguely remembering the little girl in front of him.
"Hah! Arnold!" Leah pounced on Zero excitedly, he looked at the girl in front of him unprepared and hugged him with a smile on her face, "You're really okay, great!"
Zero was dragged by Leah to the front hall, and many of the attendants he met along the way looked at them with amazement. Zero lowered his head uncomfortably, whispering at the sight of the people around him seeing him.
He knew what everyone was discussing, and he also knew what had changed in this body, and in this strange world, he was very uncomfortable to be watched and talked about by so many people just after waking up. Leah had no idea how her "brother" was feeling at this time, so she just took his hand and walked forward.
"How's Archbishop Sainz doing now?" Wayne asked Rune, who was standing nearby.
Rune replied, "I've regained consciousness for now, but ...... His mind had been greatly damaged, and now the Royal Infirmary was doing its best to stabilize the Bishop's condition, but could not treat it further. Unless...... You can find the sacred land of the ancient dragons, and it is said that the fruit of the World Tree, which has been guarded by the dragons for generations, can heal the broken sea of thoughts. ”
Wayne frowned, exhaled heavily, and said, "That's just an undocumented legend......"
Then he shut up and gritted his teeth, and his cheeks followed with a few agitations.
Everyone knows that once a person, especially a magician, is greatly damaged, it cannot be cured. Mindfulness is an abstract substance that exists in the brain, and Mindsea is the storage place of human mindfulness, everyone has mindfulness, and everyone has to practice mindfulness in the enlightenment education received since childhood, it is like language, it is a skill that must be mastered by a person, and mindfulness will be used in big and small things in life, even if it is just to read a book, it may also require the most basic mindfulness operation.
As a magician, telekinesis is extremely important to him. The profession of a magician is to major in telekinesis to sense the magical elements that exist in nature, and to use telekinesis to resonate with them to achieve the purpose of using magic. The more powerful the magician, the more diligent and demanding the cultivation of mental power, the larger the sea of thoughts, and the stronger the mental power.
Nianhai is extremely difficult to be injured, precisely because it is extremely difficult to be injured, and there is very little research on Nianhai's medical treatment in the history of medicine, not because the medical community does not make progress and does not study, but because medical repair Nianhai, which is almost impossible to do. The substance of mental power itself is mysterious and mysterious, it really exists but cannot be seen or touched, and can only be felt by heart, and the sea of thoughts, the storage place of mental power, exists in the brain of the human body. Once it is damaged, there is nothing outsiders can do with it. If it is only a slight injury, with the assistance of medicine and the medical mage of the Nian system, the owner of Nian Hai can repair it by himself, but once he has suffered a huge injury, if it is a profession that does not rely on telekinesis such as a warrior, even if he can't use basic telekinesis, it will only bring some inconvenience to his life at most, and through treatment, he can still exercise his strength. But for a profession like a magician that relies entirely on telekinesis, once the Nianhai is damaged, it will undoubtedly bring a devastating blow to his life.
Wayne looked at the empty courtyard in front of the door, sighed and said, "The Cretan family owes Archbishop Sainz a great favor......
"Mom and Dad, I've got my brother!" a young female voice came as Leah pulled Zero into the front room.
Zero looked at the people in front of him, Wayne and Nasha who were sitting in the front seat and Rune who was standing on the side, everyone was staring at him, and the atmosphere became solemn for a while, and Zero lowered his eyes and said "Hello everyone" embarrassedly.
Suddenly, Nasha stood up and ran towards him, and he took two steps back in fright. The next second, she crouched down and hugged him.
"Uh......" Jeno panicked, not knowing what to do, his whole body was held by her and he couldn't move.
Nasha cried out in surprise, "My child...... You're finally back to normal, great......"
"Mom...... Mother. Jeno shouted dumbfoundedly, and he suddenly felt that he was wrapped in a warmth, like suddenly falling into a large hot spring in the ice and snow, warming his heart.
He had never uttered the word "Mommy", and he had been an orphan with no relatives.
"It's me, it's me, it's me, it's mom......my," Nasha said in surprise.
Then she raised her face to look at Zero in front of her, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with red eyes, then put her hand on Zero's cheek, gently stroked him, and laughed.
Zero looked at this beautiful and gentle woman in front of her, her facial features were upright and graceful, her light blue eyes were filled with tears, a beautiful smile hung on the corner of her mouth, her hair was jet black, straight and thick, this was a woman with great oriental classical beauty, her mother.
"You're me...... Mom ......" Zero suddenly blushed and opened his mouth hesitantly.
She suddenly picked him up, supported his armpits with both hands, lifted him in a circle in mid-air, and said as she turned: "Yes, yes, I'm your mother, Jeno is finally well, our Jeno is finally heal......ed!"
"I'll go ......" Jeno was lifted in the air and turned dizzy, bitter in his heart.
Wayne looked at the happy scene in front of him, and his heart was very comfortable. In the past few years, there have been people who have laughed at the Cretan family for giving birth to a useless fool, and the family has been depressed because of this incident in recent years. Now that everything is fine, the family finally has a normal appearance, and I believe that the elders of the clan will not make irresponsible remarks about their family.
"Wayne, let's take the kids out to celebrate tonight~" Nasha turned back to Wayne and said. Leah gathered around Nasha's feet, looked up and stretched out her hand and said, "I'm going to hug my brother too."
Wayne nodded, Zero was a little uncomfortable being held in Nasha's arms, he pushed Nasha's shoulder, and said, "I want to rest...... I feel a little tired. ”
Nasha looked at Zero in her arms, stretched out her hand and stroked his forehead and said, "Are you not feeling well? Mom forgot that you just woke up today, so let's rest at home that night, and by the way, call the doctor to check your body, and when Jeno is well, let's go out for dinner together, okay?"
Zero looked at Nasha in front of him and saw that her dark blue eyes were as calm and beautiful as the surface of a lake. He blushed suddenly, turned his face away and said "whatever" sullenly.
