Act 32: The Labyrinth of Illusions
In the clear blue sky, several birds flew by, leaving fleeting shadows on the ground.
The carriage moved forward, steadily on the stone pavement.
In the car, a young girl was looking at the birds and flowers outside the window, looking melancholy.
Her long silver hair is slightly curly, her blue eyes are like a calm sea, her skin is fair, a pair of pointed ears are hidden in the ends of her hair, the girl is wearing a light green long dress, and the corners of the skirt are also decorated with four-leaf clover patterns, she looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but she can already vaguely see the beauty of growing up, if she is not frowning now, but showing a smile, she will definitely capture the hearts of more people.
Passing through the road in the forest, the carriage came to a magnificent castle.
The girl stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and glanced at the tall castle made of pure white bricks, and the melancholy in her eyes became a little thicker.
She saw several nobles dressed in fine costumes walking down from several equally luxurious carriages, but the maiden did not care, but followed the maid into the castle.
Looking at the figure of the girl, several nobles nodded in praise.
"Princess Rivendell must be a beauty in the future. ”
"The alliance between elves and humans is finally coming to an end, and it depends on the efforts of Lord Grésius. ”
"I really envy the Sage, who can marry a woman as beautiful as Princess Rivendell. ”
Among the aristocrats who were talking, there were two people who were pandering, watching Princess Rivendell's figure gradually disappearing, and exchanged ears.
"It seems that this is the Elven Queen's Law Realm, how can it be more like an illusion?"
The person who spoke was a tall man, with black hair, a not handsome, but rather reliable face, a black gown, and a decorative sword at his waist.
He clenched his fists, feeling the strength level of this body, although it had been exercised, it was obviously only at the level of black iron, which could be regarded as quite weak.
"The queen doesn't want that monster to simply find the weak point in her heart, so she created this illusion labyrinth, where we have to find the monster first and prevent it from breaking through the queen's will. ”
The answer was a young girl with black hair, with clear amber eyes, fair skin, and a navy blue dress, as if she were the daughter of some grand duke.
These two are none other than Rosen and Tia who have entered the realm of Queen Rivendell's law.
After they came here, they found that this law space was not as barren as they imagined, it was not only inhabited, but even cities and countries, but later the two of them realized that this world was actually a phantom labyrinth, made of a small memory of the elf queen.
If Rosen remembers correctly, this memory is supposed to be the time when the Chaos armies invaded and the ancient covenant was about to be concluded.
Through conversations and clichés with other people, they also roughly figured out the background here.
This castle is the castle of the Grand Duke of Aster, and if there is no mistake in the next plot, it will be Princess Rivendell who marries the human world and marries Greysius, one of the Sages, as an opportunity to officially conclude the ancient covenant.
It's just that Rosen didn't find any relevant records of this period of history in the records left by Isrul, and I don't know if it was hidden by later generations, or if there were some changes in it, and it became a history that cannot be explained.
In any case, in this context, what Rosen and Tia are looking for is the unusual thing about this memory, because according to Queen Rivendell, when the monster entered her heart, it was trapped by this automatically generated illusion labyrinth, so as long as they can find an existence that is incompatible with the things in this illusion, then they can locate the location of that monster.
To put it simply, it's just to find bugs.
"But this labyrinth is also the heart of the Queen's mental world, and only by relying on this power can the monster be imprisoned, and if the monster is allowed to find the queen's will, then it is very likely to invade the queen's body. ”
Rosen said, glancing again in the direction of the young Queen Rivendell's departure.
"While I don't think the infant Queen of Rivendell would be a target for the monsters, we'd better engage with them a little more to lure the snake out of its hole. ”
Instead of investigating in this unfamiliar environment, Lawson thought that it would be more convenient to find the target of the monster directly and wait for the rabbit on the sidelines, and Rosen was also very curious about the secrets that the elf queen said could not be known to other elves.
They followed the other nobles to the castle, which was full of the Star Flag, which was the flag of the later Kingdom of Aster, presumably the Grand Duke of Aster, the ancestor of the Kingdom of Aster, Rosen thought, and then followed the nobles into the parlor, but suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?"
Tia had some doubts, her current identity should be Rosen's sister, the daughter of a nobleman in a remote area, and when she saw the people around her suddenly stop, she thought that Rosen had noticed something unusual, and suddenly became alert.
But Lawson quickly returned to normal, and led Tia to a corner of the lively living room, pretending not to care, and picked up the wine glass on the table.
At this time, Tia also realized the problem, and she looked at the place where the nobles gathered in the center of the meeting room.
There, in the center of the crowd, there was a man.
Blonde hair, green eyes, handsome face with an uninhibited smile, he is dressed in a gray shirt with an open neckline, and looks like a playboy.
But Rosen knew that this was not some dandy.
Years later, the man had a name known to almost everyone across the continent: the Wolf Herder.
That's right, this man is the sage who existed in the memories of Queen Rivendell thousands of years ago, Reed Gray the Wolf Shepherd.
"Since this is the place where ancient covenants were made, it doesn't seem strange that the Sage is here. ”
Rosen muttered to himself, although these sages are just projections of the illusion, but Rosen knows that the illusion of the golden order is not just a simple record of the past, and the ones that exist here now can almost be regarded as the clones of the sages, they have the memories and characters of the sages, and naturally know many secrets.
Even the secrets of Lawson's body.
Just as the wolf herder Reed Gray was chatting and laughing with several noble daughters, a woman slowly walked down the stairs from the side of the stairs, attracting the attention of many aristocratic men.
Rosen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, looking at the woman he knew all too well.
Look at Avinia Kainz.
