Axes didn't know until the next day that Jenny and Martha had been sent back to Carter's embassy.

"Did something happen?" Ax was delighted inwardly, but on the surface he asked Mr. Gray seriously.

Mr. Gray got Chen Jing's instructions, so naturally he would not talk to the little prince about those details, but said that Jenny tried to buy off a guard in the mansion and was discovered, and such behavior was serious, so the general asked Mr. Butler to arrange it immediately and send them away.

- It turned out to be Jenny...... That means that Martha was affected by the pond fish, and now the two "artificial monitors" around him were packaged and solved together?!

However, since Ax's "awakening", the general has isolated the two maids, and barely let them get close to the little prince. So it wasn't until Mr. Gray offered to mention it that Axes knew they were gone.

Qiuqiu was very satisfied with Chen Jing's efficiency: "Now you can walk swaggeringly in the Marshal's Mansion!" ”

"......" Akers.

- He's not a bully, why is he swaggering in the Marshal's Mansion......

"But it's weird, why didn't Princess Rebecca react at all this time?" Qiuqiu recently got a mat with a carrot motif, and whenever he was alone with Akers, he immediately appeared and lay on the mat without getting up.

Akers stood next to the sofa and wore a coat, and when he heard Qiuqiu's words, he also felt very puzzled: "Yes, why didn't the princess make trouble?" ”

"Shouldn't she immediately shout that Jenny and Martha are Axes' maids, Chen Jing, why are you in charge, and then immediately communicate with you, asking why you let Chen Jing damage the face of the royal family so rudely?"

Akers was amused by Qiuqiu's imitation of Princess Rebecca's tone, thought for a while, and analyzed: "Could it be because this time Jenny did something wrong and took the blame, so Princess Rebecca has nothing to say." ”

After all, buying the guards or something, it is inappropriate to say that it is small, and it is ill-intentioned to say that it is big!

"Jenny is nominally your personal maid, she made a mistake, how can it be counted on your head, what does it have to do with Princess Rebecca," Qiuqiu shook his little head: "If something happens to Martha, then it's her problem." ”

Because he had to hurry up and go out for breakfast, Akes discussed with Qiuqiu for a few words without a conclusion, and put aside his doubts for the time being - the process is not important, the important thing is the result!

Although he didn't know what twists and turns were behind him, his mood was much brighter, and he was happier than usual when he even went to the Guide Association to make up for the class.

……

Early in the morning, the entrance of the General's Building of the Marshal's Mansion was very lively.

First of all, Akers, who had finished breakfast, was going to class, and as soon as he said goodbye to everyone in the house, he was bitten by the little wolf cub who rushed out of his trouser leg before he reached the steps at the entrance of the General's Building.

Ax said so much that the little one finally relented, but he was rolling on the ground and screaming, looking cute and pitiful.

When Ax couldn't bear it, he squatted down and rubbed it to comfort him, and he was hugged by the other party's little claws, and the other party's little fat legs were also desperately hooked on Aks's wrists, and the whole hung on his hands, looking like he would never let go of his claws.

Lin Zexin watched Akers and Chen Xu's little wolf cub perform a "parting" drama at the door, and couldn't wait to die of laughter: "You guys come once in a while to look at the fresh, do you do this every day, are you hitting the wall with ghosts?" ”

The little prince glanced at Kobayashi, who had all the winter vacation classes over, and was quite helpless in his heart, but he had to honestly coax the little hairball that fell down because his little short legs couldn't support his body and continued to roll on the ground.

In the end, Xiao Zhengtai saw that the time was almost up, and stepped forward to hug his spiritual body, and the little hairball gave up.

Finally completed the parting game of "one gift a day" with the little wolf cub, and Ax, accompanied by Mr. Gray, took a special flying machine to the Guide Association.

My friend Lin Zexin's course was only more than half a month, and it was completed long before the Carter ambassador group came to Sist, and after that, Akers went to the Guide Association by himself, and it was about a week before it ended.

The course that Ax attended was tailor-made for him, and involved entering the sentinel's intermediate or even subconscious.

This is very important for him to help Chen Jing carry out middle-level spiritual counseling and take him out of the moderate fugue in the future. So not only the Guide Association and the military are very concerned, but he himself also attaches great importance to it.

After a one-day pause yesterday for the reception of Crown Prince Calvin and Carter's mission, classes resumed immediately today.

He looked out the window, looking forward to today's lesson, because Madame Reynolds, the vice president of the Guide Guild, would come and teach him herself.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After arriving at the Guide Association, Ax went directly to Mrs. Reynold's office as agreed.

"Your Highness, good morning." Mrs. Reynaud rose from her chair, nodded to Mr. Gray and exchanged greetings, and then guided Ax to the sofa.

The vice-president of the Guild, who was about the same age as Mrs. Bailey, had a quiet, calm scholarly temperament, and seemed to have a very knowledgeable and reliable feeling.

She has been doing research on guides at the graduate school directly under the Guide Association for many years, and she is also in charge of some of the courses open by the Guide Association and holds regular lectures, so she is a very popular teacher among students.

This time, Prince Ax's special course is also under the sole responsibility of Mrs. Reynolds, and the main teachers include her, and Prince Ax's enlightenment teacher, Mr. Rolands, and a teacher who focuses on building spiritual barriers.

Seeing Madame Reynolds get up, Ax hurriedly greeted her politely: "Good morning, Madame!" I'm sorry to teach me a lesson today. ”

"Your Highness is gracious." Madame Reynaud smiled as she beckoned him to sit down—but instead asked him to sit on the chaise longue in the room.

Akers wondered, "Are you sitting here?" ”

As soon as he entered the door, Ax noticed that Mr. Bob, the sentry who usually cooperated with him in class, had not arrived early as usual.

He was about to sit down and ask Mrs. Reynolds, when he was asked to sit in what seemed to be Mr. Bob's seat.

"Yes, Your Highness, there is no Mr. Bob today, only you." Mrs. Reynaud opened the instrument next to her, and took out some bottles and jars of reagents from the locked cabinet, as if there was a big move.

Looking at the puzzled little prince, Mrs. Reynolds explained gently: "In the previous course, you have tried to enter Mr. Bob's intermediate consciousness, but the effect is not very ideal, is this the case?" ”

Those lessons were the responsibility of Mr. Rowlands, and under his direction Axes did make a few attempts, but only once remained in Mr. Bob's consciousness for more than ten minutes.

Mr. Rowlands reassures Ax that the intermediate consciousness, though not as subtle as the human subconscious, is already a more private part. There is a real difficulty in getting into the middle consciousness of a non-intimate person without the help of pheromones.

For example, it's like someone who has saved money at home without telling his wife.

In his shallow consciousness, you can know that he has the intention and behavior of hiding private money, but in the middle consciousness, you can find the specific location where he hid private money, and finally, only in his subconscious, you can know the password of the box hidden on the top of the cabinet.

The most important thing is that although Ax's mental power has been steadily improving, it still has not reached a normal level.

After Chen Jing learned that Ax had indeed taken a medicine that damaged his mental power, he immediately arranged for a professional team like Chen Xu to examine the prince, and quickly formulated a treatment plan.

However, according to Chen Xu's treatment cycle, it will take him at least one to two years to fully recover to the level of his healthy state.

(Qiuqiu: With the blessing of the baby, it is actually not spicy for a long time, three or five months is appropriate!) ）

Therefore, the method of using the difference in rank between the secondary guide and the escort to suppress the other party will not work here in Axes.

Akes was a little frustrated, but Mr. Rowlands' encouragement worked, and the two tried another lesson, but still not much progress.

Madame Reynolds clicked on her terminal and showed Prince Ax the star map of a certain star sector of the A galaxy, and after half a minute, she looked at the star map of another star sector, and then asked, "Do you think there is a difference between this star map and the one just now?" ”

The two star maps are very similar, and the shooting techniques are exactly the same, Akes took a closer look for a while, and tried to recall the previous star map, and hesitated: "It seems that the density of planets here and here is different?" ”

Mrs. Renault immediately smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, you are right. Both Mr. Rowlands and I have found that you are always very attentive and very attentive when you are doing something, which is very rare among young people. ”

- Of course he was very happy to be praised by his wife...... However, what does it have to do with your own curriculum to find the gap between the two star charts?

Akers was still confused.

"The world of consciousness of our human beings is like countless star fields in this vast universe, if you can't see the complete star map like this, or if you haven't personally experienced this star field, but sail through it alone for the first time in a spaceship, and explore the direction, then the process must be very abstract and confusing."

She paused, helped Ax adjust the angle of the couch recliner, and continued: "When you try to enter Mr. Bob's consciousness, it is as if you have entered a strange star field, he and you are completely separate individuals, with different backgrounds, living environments, personalities and hobbies, and you are seeing completely unfamiliar fragments of memory...... Most importantly, you don't know how these pieces are connected. ”

Madame Reynolds opened the two star maps at the same time, and pointed to the obvious differences that Ax had just identified: "The most important thing for the guide to enter the sentinel's consciousness is not to find a single fragment of memory, but to find the pattern and path that connects these fragments, as if you find the difference in the star map because you notice the difference in their local combinations and the number of planets, not because you know the difference between these single stars." ”

Hearing this, Ax seemed to understand what Mrs. Reynolds meant.

The other party continued to explain: "There is a world of difference between people's consciousness, and the memory fragments in the shallow consciousness have distinctive characteristics, that is, their ordinary, ordinary, they are very simple fragments of life, so our guide is easy to find the context, and even forge memories, but when it comes to the intermediate consciousness, this kind of falsification is too shallow, too one-sided, and it is easy to make mistakes and be discovered by sentinels." ”

Mrs. Reynolds turned off the holographic screen of the terminal, turned on some reagents on the table in turn, and said to Axes: "But when we have done countless studies and explorations, we will find that human consciousness has something in common in nature, and those ways of connecting memories are not traceless, although there is a strong subjective consciousness of individuals...... And human beings always discover the truth in the alternating process of knowing themselves and understanding the world. ”

"So, I'm going to get to know my intermediate consciousness first, experience the difference between that consciousness and the shallow consciousness, and then try to get into Mr. Bob's consciousness." Ax looked sideways at Mrs. Reynolds.

"That's right, Your Highness," Madame Reynolds nodded, "All along, our guide has been exploring the mysteries of the spiritual world in the consciousness of the sentinel, in fact, in our own brains, there are also many things worth studying in depth, it will be a familiar and unfamiliar world, are you ready, to experience it?" ”

Akers nodded, a little excited in his heart.

"The guide's entry into his consciousness is not a hypnotis of the outside world," Mrs. Reynolds handed the reagent to Axes, "you need to act completely autonomously, I can't see your consciousness, you can't follow my guidance, we need to create a temporary independent space for you, using sentinel substitutions and everything else, to build a stable sensory barrier for you." ”

Acers immediately understood what Mrs. Reynaud meant, hypnosis is the outside world through sound signals to guide people to carry out brain activities, but what he needs is to explore and understand independently, so he has to form an island of consciousness like the sentinel's "fugue".

"So this time we'll have Mr. Gray with you all the way, so you can be completely relaxed." Madame Reynolds carefully injected the sentinel substitution and other auxiliary potions into Ax's body.

Akes looked in Mr. Gray's direction, and received a smile of affirmation and encouragement, and Ax closed his eyes.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Entering one's own consciousness is actually a bit like the feeling of dreaming.

The picture in your head is all three-dimensional and continuous, so it looks very realistic, but sometimes you can still find yourself "dreaming".

Akers "saw" the star map just now, but he couldn't tell if these two were the two he had seen.

He then "looked" at the little wolf cub when he went out in the morning, and Yangyang hugged Miao'er to look at him.

He even "saw" the ball rolling around on the carrot mat......

Akers knew that this was his shallow consciousness, because those fragments of memories were always up-to-date, or the most common and frequent things he had to experience every day.

In the process, he is sometimes Akes himself, and sometimes he seems to have become a simple bystander, coldly watching everything that "Ax" has experienced.

"Isn't it interesting to see what you usually look like?" Qiuqiu asked in Akers' mind.

"Hmm." The experience was very peculiar indeed, and Axes was fascinated by the state.

……

But soon, things are a little different......

It was when he "saw" a group of people walking through the entrance of the covered bridge in the distance.

"It's ...... Memories of greeting Prince Calvin at Seaster Airport? Akers muttered.

However, he didn't get a response from Qiuqiu – in fact, he couldn't hear the system anymore!

But he didn't realize it all at once.

Because the picture in front of him was like slowing down in motion, the special rhythm immediately attracted Ax's full attention.

Every movement of Prince Calvin is extremely clear, his noble and elegant temperament, as well as the arrogance and invincibility of the royal family, are undoubtedly displayed!

But strangely, the others seem to be very blurry, and they can't see clearly when you look closely.

Axes watched Calvin walk in step by step, with that smile that was both gentle and dangerous...... It looks strange and familiar......

- Familiar? Could it be that he saw it somewhere?

INTERVIEWER Where did you see it?

At this point, as if the camera was switching, the scene suddenly changed.

It was a room, a room with a small window, a room that was somewhat dark and somewhat cold.

He looked out through the glass of the small window, and it was a beautiful but silent little garden.

Obviously very strange, obviously the small garden that I have never been to...... But he just knew it had to be a quiet place......

While he was still confused, thinking about where there was such a small garden in the Marshal's Mansion, a tall figure appeared next to him!

It's silent, even a little ghostly.

But Ax was not at all frightened, as if he had known that the other party would appear, and knew that the other party would caress his cheek......

Those blue eyes were so deep, gentle and longing, that they seemed to reflect the figure of Ax...... I don't know why, but this made Ax's heart rise with joy, as if seeing his own shadow reflected in the other party's eyes, what a happy thing!

At this time, the other party's thin lips opened slightly, and he seemed to let out a sigh, as if he had pronounced a person's name, and then said a word......

It seems to be ......

"Ax...... My Axes...... I...... You ......"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Madame Reynaud saw that the little prince suddenly opened his eyes, and knew that he had come out of her consciousness, and did not bother him, and let him slowly savor what he had just felt.

"What's going on? What do you see? Of course, the system immediately noticed Ax's anomaly, as it had just lost contact with him for a split second.

Qiuqiu had a hunch that Akers probably didn't stay in his middle consciousness for too long just now, but inexplicably entered his subconscious, and even a very, very deep place in his subconscious.

That's a memory that can't even be captured by the system, and it belongs to the real "Axes"!

"I see...... Ax's memory...... It seems to be in the Shvik Palace in Carter. Akers paused for a long time before he said, "I saw Prince Calvin and Akers talking......"

That scene is actually quite ordinary, and the two of them even maintain a certain distance at all times—a sweet and painful distance.

It was the kind of extremely strong emotion that suddenly came to his heart, which made Axes feel a little frightened and out of breath inexplicably.

- Maybe on the way to the Federation, when he didn't die and be born again, he knew what he had eaten......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Crown Prince Calvin had just arrived in the Commonwealth, and the next day Princess Rebecca was forbidden to leave the embassy, and the members of Carter's ambassadorial corps couldn't help but look at each other when they got the news.

"Although His Royal Highness Calvin is the eldest son and the half-brother of His Royal Highness Rebecca, is it not appropriate to control the princess like this?" Carter officials of the mission were cautious in private.

Princess Rebecca, as the second child of Augustine the Great, naturally has the legal right to inherit, and she is also the second in line to the Carter royal family.

Without announcing any reason, she was placed under house arrest in her room, which is easily associated with roommate by the outside world!

And because the aircraft sent by the Marshal's Mansion came in broad daylight, many people noticed it, so they learned one after another that the personal maid arranged by Emperor Augustin for Prince Ackes, and the maid that Princess Rebecca gave him when the little prince went to the Marshal's Mansion were also imprisoned by the crown prince's personal guards.

The members of the ambassadorial corps included many politically sensitive diplomats and politicians, who immediately thought of the relationship between Princess Rebecca and Prince Ax, and the status of the little prince today.

Their first reaction was that His Royal Highness Calvin planned to abandon Princess Rebecca and instead offer an olive branch to Prince Ax, who was already the fiancé of the marshal.

The pro-princess faction among them naturally panicked, and some immediately began to operate privately, hoping to let the princess regain the favor of the crown prince and at least resume her free movement.

But there are also people who have been shaken in their hearts and have begun to think of a new way out for themselves.

This vacillation is all the more evident when those people have tried in every way, and Crown Prince Calvin is still hard-lined, and does not seem to care about the feelings of brother and sister at all.

……

Chen Jing, who also learned the news, sat in the study, looking at the photo of Ax on the table, and fell into deep thought. 166 Reading Network
