The upper winding did not go as the clerk imagined, angry or directly hurt the killer or something.

She just smiled and put the gem back on her, and the anger on her body faded a little.

"I knew it was fake, but you were the only one who dared to tell me about it. ”

Winding gently stroked the gem and looked out the window.

Following her gaze, the scenery outside has changed abruptly, reaching the idyllic Zheng in the countryside

"Since you want me to join, accompany me through a journey from the past. ”

She looked at Iserti, "Would you like to?"

"Hmm. ”

Iseti got up and looked at Ifu and Canary with worried expressions, and she smiled lightly. "Don't worry. ”

She pushed open the mausoleum gate and headed to the winding past.

"How long are you going to be stunned over there? As the door closed, Shangfeng yawned and instructed her to go down and make tea, and she did not mention the episode that had just happened, but as usual.

...

Walking in the country town, Iseti suddenly felt like she was back in Moss Town.

I don't know how long ago, when the Wild Rose was founded, they also strolled through the town on such an afternoon, planning a new future together.

In such a peaceful place, even the sound of the cat's sleep can be heard clearly.

"Sister, is it good-looking?"

Suddenly, a glutinous voice caught her attention, and she stopped and looked at the source of the sound.

The younger girl held a "brooch" made of clay in her hand and handed it to the taller girl.

"Good looking. ”

The upper winding took over the brooch and loved it like a treasure.

"I hope I can be a jeweler when I grow up. ”

There was an innocent smile on the childish face of the lower string, and the upper string also smiled and quipped, "Don't you want to be a magician?"

"Good thing it's peaceful and... I'm not as good as my sister, my sister is going to save the world, and I'm here to create the most beautiful jewelry for my sister. She looked up at her and asked, "Sister, do you really not mind my background?"

"Of course. Shangfeng took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off her hands: "You are my sister." ”

Iseti stood still, her color unchanged, but time flowing.

When I saw the sisters again, they had grown into big girls.

The top string wears a robe similar to a magic academy, while the lower string wears a languid and simple white shirt.

"Sister, your Thousand Silk Technique is really amazing, but fortunately I skipped class to see you. ”

"You can watch it whenever you want, you pay attention to your schoolwork, don't you? ”

"Of course, but your debut is more important than that. ”

Later, with her impression of her hometown, Xia Xian designed a lot of rustic-style jewelry, which was sought after by those who were tired of pompous money, and she also got the qualification to go to the city college to study.

Before leaving, the winding was very reluctant to give up on it.

"Take good care of yourself. ”

"I will. ”

The lower string in the carriage took out his own design book, on which was painted a beautiful jeweled collar buckle, and each facet was carefully considered.

Underneath that collar clasp was written the words: To the wind.

Upon arriving in the city, she smiled inadvertently and turned back into the unknown lower string.

She touched her face, which was adorned with a few scales, and walked into the academy with her luggage without saying a word.

Yes. She and Shangxian are not half related in blood.

She was the product of, and a victim of, a crazy experiment many years ago.

A magician has kidnapped a mermaiden in the outside world of Galani, hoping to create a new race with perfect appearance, legs, and the ability to breathe freely in the sea and on land.

Experiments have failed countless times, and many of the children born in the experiments have either died at birth, or have mermaid-like tails, or, like her, their faces and bodies are decorated with scales, and they have no beauty, but they cannot live in the water.

If it's okay like the first two, it's nothing more than leaving without experiencing the beauty and dirtiness of this world, or returning to the water and living the life that a mermaid should live.

But "outliers" like them are different, they have no racial protection, no parents and relatives, and as a product of the failure of the experiment, they are subject to controversy and discrimination from birth.

Such an identity is tragic enough, but the magicians did not take responsibility, but threw them everywhere and left them to fend for themselves.

The next string is fortunate to read, she met the upper string, and the two depend on each other.

Shangfeng never said anything like "you are different from others" or "you are pitiful", but completely treated her as a normal person, and when she grew up and had a certain understanding of this dark world, she also gave her encouragement.

"What's good about being the same as any other race, you can make more people remember you right away. ”

- But you are the only one in the world who thinks so.

Instead of letting her thoughts out, Lower Chord responded to her with a smile.

The winding is her light, and she is trying to be her light.

It's just too hard.

As soon as she left the upper strings, the vicious words poured into her ears, and even if she was strong inside, after being irrigated by curses and denials, she would gradually wither or bear the fruit of hatred.

Passing by the hot classmates who were talking about it in the academy, the laughter would come to an abrupt end, followed by a burst of whispers accompanied by ridicule.

“...”

Iseti followed behind the lower strings, and she could fully feel what kind of pain was hidden beneath her careless exterior.

"Sister Iseti has been in the orphanage since she was very young. ”

"Doesn't anyone want to adopt her?"

"Hmm... Because she is not a pure flower generation, those adults want to adopt children who match their race. ”

"The Dawn Clan has been wiped out, and it seems that Iseti is going to stay here until she reads. ”

"It's so pitiful..."

"I didn't expect our new queen to be the illegitimate daughter of Duke Capethian. ”

"At such an age, I don't like to talk, and my life is still stained... Why did the Astrology Academy and the Holy Church agree to her being the queen, if you want strength, then you can directly make the strongest magician in Moon City ascend the throne. ”

"Who knows, but the queen is not bad, and the policies she proposed after she ascended the throne are quite good. ”

"Do you really think that she thought of it herself? Looking at her sullen appearance, she can come up with any policies that benefit the people, and she is probably a marionette. ”

There is simply too much prejudice and malice in this world.

As long as you deviate from the world's perception of "normal people", you will be labeled with all kinds of strange labels that cannot be torn off, like a brand, scalding over your skin, even if the wound heals, it will still leave a scar, always reminding you of those gloomy past.
