Chapter 1007: "Harbor"
The Grand Prince's Mansion.
A middle-aged lady with a morbid beauty leans against the window, and the night breeze blows up to five layers of light yarn, undulating dreamily.
"Your Highness, why are you up?"
Susie, the personal maid on duty at night, woke up, caught a faint figure on the terrace in her drunken hazy vision, hurriedly picked up the thin coat at the head of the bed, draped it over her from the back of the noblewoman, and complained softly:
"His Highness Saxon has just come in the afternoon, and if you know that you are disobedient, you will definitely punish me again!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman - to be precise, should be the widowed princess, smiled slightly, and her smile contained indescribable softness.
This noblewoman, who was recognized as the first beauty in the imperial capital when she was young, is nearly forty years old, and there is not even a trace of wrinkle at the corners of her eyes, if it were not for the sickly appearance between her eyebrows and pale appearance, much older than usual, no one would doubt that she is a Saxon sister.
Judging from the courteous and intimate attitude of the personal maid when treating her, this eldest princess is a rare noble-born nobleman who is truly approachable, gentle and humble.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, the Saxons know my character, and I won't blame you."
"What are you talking about?" The maid was angry, "As long as you are well, I am willing to be punished a hundred times by His Highness!" Please, but don't blow the wind on the terrace anymore. ”
"It's me who is not good, I woke up just now, looked through some of Odin's past letters, and I couldn't sleep when I looked at them."
The maid fell silent for a moment, and Odin was a point in their conversation that could not be lightly touched.
The noble lady did not need to look at the expression of this personal maid whom she regarded as a daughter, and knew that her eyes must be full of pity and sorrow at this time, and looked at her silently.
A smile appeared on the corner of the eldest princess's mouth.
"Bring me the letters in that box on the table, and the candlesticks."
The maid obeyed.
"What are you going to do...... Ah, why burn them! ”
The maid was anxious.
These letters are the most important relics of His Highness Odin, which contain many secret connections that only His Highness Odin himself can grasp, and are an important basis for His Highness Saxon to inherit and drive the legacy resources of His Highness Odin.
The eldest princess usually cherished these letters, and kept them in a secret mezzanine next to the bed, and only His Royal Highness Saxon, her, and the eldest princess knew how to open the mezzanine.
Now these letters were lit one by one by the eldest princess, and the ashes swirled with the night wind, blowing farther away, and the maid almost thought that the eldest princess was crazy.
But once the eldest princess showed such a look, even when His Royal Highness Odin was alive, she would think twice about her words.
The maid could not stop the eldest princess's moves, and had to protect the precarious candle flame for the inexperienced eldest princess, and be careful to help, lest this noble lady with ten fingers do not touch the spring water to lead the fire to herself.
When the red flame fluttering on the last letter flew away with the night wind, the eldest princess was finally satisfied, and covered her mouth gracefully and coughed twice, and the maid hurriedly urged her back to her room.
The eldest princess was unusual, not as gentle and obedient as before, and insisted: "Wait, wait, just let me stand for a while." ”
She looked out at the Grand Prince's Mansion at night.
This mansion, every corridor, every piece of grass and trees, was designed by her personally.
Since marrying in and becoming the hostess of this palace, this has always been the place where everyone in the imperial capital yearns for and the powerful people are full.
Since her husband's death, it has almost decayed.
But her son, the Saxon, soon made it more noble and impossible to ignore.
Her child has not tarnished its former glory.
In the top-level circle of the imperial capital, the rumors of the canonization ceremony have gradually begun to spread with the acquiescence of the emperor.
In another half a month......
The lady's eyes became hazy, and she seemed to have seen the splendor and liveliness of the ceremony half a month later.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it with my own eyes, my child ......"
The faint whispers that only I could hear drifted away with the night wind......
……
The seat of the Royal Arcane Order, the Tower of Amber.
Aside from the royal family, few people know that in addition to the ten floors of the tower that are exposed, there are also ten floors under the Amber Tower, which are like reflections on the ground.
And even the royal family didn't know that in addition to the ten floors above ground and the ten floors underground, there was a twenty-first floor in the middle of the connection between the two, which could not be seen or touched, but was real.
It is like the layer of water between reality and reflection, which exists by the means of matter, but is also illusory without a real entrance.
Even the Elder of the Mystic Order, who has the power of the Amber Tower, can't open it normally.
It is only when some special events occur that the twenty-first layer of this non-existent zài comes into play.
Legend has it that outside of the main material plane, there are several transitional planes where the main material life is difficult to find, but there is really a zài.
These planes and the main material plane almost coincide exactly, and if you want to compare them to a specific one, they are probably like several layers of paper that are glued together, almost completely overlapping.
Among the more well-known are the shadow planes that can only be accessed by those who have shadow talents, or who have special bloodlines or secret spells;
Another example is the other one, as long as it is a creature with mental power and dreams, it is possible that it has accidentally visited the dream plane in the dream world, but does not know it after waking up.
There is no material existence in the dream plane, and all existence is composed of spiritual individuals.
If all the spiritual entities in the entire material plane together form an ocean, then the twenty-first floor of the Amber Tower is probably a bay -
And the archmage who has opened up the spiritual sea and has been able to swim on the dream plane for a certain distance with the help of spells is probably a drop of free water that has broken away from the earth group and has his own will.
Any ordinary person, in his own dream, can do thousands of miles in an instant, move mountains and reclaim seas, and even become an omnipotent creator.
So it is conceivable that whoever they are, if they are able to stay awake when they visit the dream plane, they will undoubtedly be able to do many things that would not be possible in reality.
Including ignoring the tens of millions of miles away in reality, converging on each other;
This includes slowing down or speeding up the flow of the sands of time - as we all know, the speed of time in dreams varies from person to person and is very different from reality.
Manipulating time and space is a power that only the primordial and powerful gods of ancient mythology are said to have been born from the origin of the law.
However, this does not mean that these sober visitors are able to do whatever they want in the dream world.
As we know, the main plane can give birth to some inherently powerful individuals, and they possess talents that ordinary races can hardly achieve in a lifetime.
In the same way, in the dream world, many beings who are idle and mediocre in the real world have no sense of existence, but in the dream world, they exist like gods.
Perhaps the mental turmoil caused by their turning over in reality can shatter the dreams that thousands of people generate at the same time, be expelled from the dream world, and wake up from sweet dreams or nightmares.
Therefore, in the dream world, whether the individual is strong or not depends on the perception of the dream medium.
This is also a very rare talent.
Mages are able to use certain spells to make themselves waking visitors, but they are limited in what they can do to strengthen their own existence in the dream world, so there is such a rare and rather demanding special branch of mages - dream builders.
Mages with a strong sense of the dream medium are extremely rare, but that doesn't mean they can't use the peculiarities of the dream world to help them achieve certain goals.
It's just that this often requires some prerequisites.
For example, in the ever-changing, unpredictable spiritual sea of the dream world, a relatively closed and safe harbor that can escape the storm of the outside world.
And the twenty-first floor of the Amber Tower is such a harbor.
This harbor has special access privileges.
To make a figurative analogy, it is similar to the spatial coordinates in reality, and only those who have this coordinate can become the legally berthed ship in this harbor.
Thus, while many people in some hidden circles are known to the outside world about the rumors of such a special and safe meeting place, few know exactly what kind of existence it is and where it is located, and they can only refer to the rumored place by "harbor".
But only those who have been recognized and invited know the true place of this "harbor".
When a calm, silent, yet flame-like droplet of water entered the "harbor", there were already fourteen similar beings in the harbor -
They come in a variety of forms.
Some resemble a misshapen hexagonal snowflake, the size of a normal palm, while others resemble a pearl, but are as big as a ship;
Some are like slugs that have been flattened, constantly dripping pus, while others are like a black hole, constantly absorbing the surrounding qiē, so that the rest of the storage is far away from it......
All the depositors were silent, as if waiting for something, but there was no quiet in the harbor, because some of the depository zài themselves were constantly creating movements that could not be ignored.
But when the blue flame-like droplets of water entered the harbor, all the storage zài moved, and the harbor immediately appeared at the same time with a violent storm, fire, and silver flowers, and all kinds of unimaginable and impossible coexistence.
The blue water droplet is used to this situation, time is worthless in the dream world, after waiting for a long time, as soon as Qiē calmed down, the blue water drop said a word:
"I succeeded. ”】
And then?
Then Master Rice, who had just closed his eyes for less than ten seconds, opened his eyes again.
He glanced at the dome that came into view, and then closed his eyes again, a misty aura of magic enveloping him again.
