"Nords?"

"That's right, the uncivilized mountain barbarians."

The dim candlelight and the flickering magic hum brought a bit of ambiguity between the two people who were gradually approaching, but there was no ambiguous expression between the two people who looked at each other, and the hand holding the spear of the intimately called Xue Lingphantice did not even show any signs of letting go, and the face of the man in gorgeous clothes who was listening to the answer in front of him was also full of vigilance at this time: "As early as five years ago, I had already questioned the Shangguan Academy's agreement to recognize the existence of their group of barbarian peoples. Not only do the unruly ones not know what respect is, but they also try to steal the glorious fruits of magic from us...... Hum. ”

"The magic of the Norsric dynasty can be easily learned by you guys in the mountains?" The man turned to look into the equally dim distance outside the room, with a faint ridge line in the background: "In order to develop your own home? I think it's just to insult us dynasty nobles! ”

"I don't know what they asked for." Carefully organizing her words, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had frowned for a moment, gently opened her red lips: "I just want to know what their existence has to do with our bridge." ”

"Ah, you don't know what their 'chips' are this time, do you?" His eyes returned to tenderness and doting, and the man turned to Xue Lingbing and said, "They are trying to prove that they have something to do with the source of this 'natural disaster', and claim that they have a solution to this disaster—there are really things that are arrogant enough that even the Ministry of Magic can't solve them, how can they solve it?" ”

"The Nords who live between the Andachel Mountains have knowledge and heritage that we don't know about, and they may even hold some secrets that we don't know." Euphemistically said his thoughts, and the snow spirit phantom ice that was shining in the warm light slowly crossed the body of the man in gorgeous clothes: "Since they said so, it's okay for you to believe them once." ”

"But before-" Looking at Xue Ling's side face in surprise, the man in a gorgeous costume who looked like Duan Qing finally slowly pressed back what he originally wanted to say: "Hmm, okay, since this is your idea, then I'll reconsider." ”

"Does my word work that well?" So Xue Lingphanta raised her eyebrows helplessly: "It sounds like something that affects two countries, and you changed your mind just by listening to my words?" ”

"After all, you are the princess of Coloria, the most beautiful and intelligent person on this continent." Shaking his head, the face of the man in the gorgeous costume with his hands behind his back also showed deep admiration and glory at this time: "To be able to marry a woman like you back to the royal family of Nosrik and marry back to me is the only gift this world has given me, how can I not respect your opinion?" ”

“……”

The fluttering eyebrows trembled for a moment with the silent voice, and the snow spirit phantom ice who was holding the wooden spear in his hand finally sighed and turned his gaze: "If the world can really have such a beautiful ......"

"What did you say?"

“…… No, nothing. ”

Looking at his face surrounded by long white hair through the reflection of the glass, Xue Lingphantom Ice focused his gaze on the endless surface of the bridge that stretched out of the window along the front of the tower, as if the bridge body embedded in the dark blue blue waves was also carrying countless magical flying machines carried above at this moment, and spent a strong stroke in the endless scene facing the tower: "But I really didn't expect that you seem to attach great importance to this bridge." ”

"Of course it's not as important as you." Gently hugging Xue Ling's waist and arming the waist, the man in the fancy clothes who also walked to the window replied softly: "After three layers of watertight protection, and with the power furnace specially designed by the Ministry of Magic, even if we don't pay attention to this bridge connecting the two directions of the continent, it will survive on this continent forever." ”

"But the Norsric dynasty won't." Without resisting the other party's intimate actions, Xue Lingphantom Ice replied indifferently: "What I can be sure of is that the Nosric Dynasty must not survive as long as this bridge, and this country that lives and prospers on the sea will definitely die out because of the sea in the end." ”

"If the future really goes the way you say, then I have no regrets." The voice paused for a moment, and the man in the fancy dress replied in a low voice, "At least let Levine and his descendants have a glorious life, and the rest will be left to fate-"

"Do you really think so?"

His brows furrowed deeply as these words appeared, and Xue Lingphantom Ice turned around solemnly: "No one cares about the demise of the Northrick Dynasty, and no one cares how long you and I will live in this world, but even if this bridge of miracles will be gradually annihilated in the storm in countless years, it still has the meaning of being here at this moment." ”

"Think about why you care so much about this bridge!" Her voice became louder and louder, and her heavy voice echoed in Duan Qing's ears like a morning bell: "Think about why you exist here!" ”

"Think about who you really are!"

Rumble!

The deafening sound then exploded in the ears of the Snow Spirit Ice, accompanied by countless equally scattered space fragments flying away from the eyes of the Snow Spirit Ice, and the luxurious and warm tower hall then rolled away with the fragments of these spaces towards the revealed white mist in the distance, and gradually disappeared in front of the white-haired woman with an illusory brilliance. The calm in her eyes gradually turned into inexplicable sadness, and the woman named Xue Ling Phantom Ice then raised her hand again, and a necklace composed of beautiful patterns and silk gold edges also replaced the wooden spear that should have been in her hand at this time, and quietly reflected in the sight of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "...... No matter how beautiful it is. ”

"Dreams are still just dreams."

Exhaling heavily, the white-haired woman then pinched her fingers in the direction of the man in the gorgeous clothes beside her, and the golden necklace that was almost about to pierce her palm suddenly turned into thousands of scattered silk threads in the next moment, intertwining in front of the snow spirit phantom ice. Along the road formed by the intertwining of golden threads, she took her own steps, and the white-haired woman with a low brow then continued to remove the fog in front of her under the guidance of these warm golden energy, and the blurred pictures full of Duan Qing's figure were also presented in front of her in turn in the process of the woman's gradual progress, and the story of the same man with different identities was constantly staged in front of her with a marquee lantern like a movie: "Rescue team!" Rescue team! Our ship is sinking! Help us! Our coordinates are - you! Get the distress signal out! ”

"Please get in line! Although today is the day when the Bridge of Freedom is temporarily open to the public, you can't just go in and visit without even buying a ticket, right? After all, the bridge has not been repaired! 50 gold coins per person, only allowed to visit the Sequans bridge...... Don't cut in line, this young lady! ”

"You're in the wrong place at the wrong time, adventurers! This is a place of vigilance! It's not a place you can break into! Get me out of here! Otherwise, I'm going to ...... Hey? You, you're that Ayayuki? Right? How did you get here? ”

"Superior magic materials! A high-grade magic material certified by the Ministry of Magic! It's good against water and it's very durable! Hey, a few big heads, and this noble lady! Aren't you going to have some? I've heard that the eastern section of the Bridge of Liberty is leaking again, and the repair team has been on the road for several days. ”

Crew, Merchant, Soldier, Guard...... Just like a different sitcom, the "Duan Qing" who is being staged in front of the snow spirit phantom ice has turned into thousands of different figures running around in the flashing fantasy, sometimes noble and sometimes lowly identities seem to have different effects on the survival and behavior of these characters, only the central idea of running around the seemingly endless bridge that runs through the east and west sides has not changed in the slightest. From time to time, she turned into passers-by or helpers around the man, and the white-haired, scarred Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also mixed into the sitcoms that "Duan Qing" kept staging in these illusions in her own way, and the bridge that had been submerged in countless rivers then slowly extended forward with her help and guidance, intentionally or unintentionally, gradually connecting a certain tower that was already standing in the center of the ocean-like water surface with the endless edge of the continent on the left and right: "...... Call. ”

"This should be done."

The picture shifts to the other side of the continent, on the shore of the westernmost continent across the ocean, where countless jubilant voices suddenly rise at the sparkling water's edge, throwing a large number of hoes and tools under the sky where the last bridge head has just been combined. Also wiping his sweat and throwing away the last piece of masonry he had just prepared to pile up, the snow spirit phantom ice that had completely integrated into these illusions raised his head that was submerged in the crowd, and his eyes showed a tired look and then began to look left and right, and finally found the back of the man who was standing still in that direction on the shore away from the crowd: "Is it over?" ”

“……”

Without any further doubts about the identity of the comer, nor did he answer this question immediately, Duan Qing, who was dressed in rags and had also exhausted the last bit of strength in the previous repair, just stared blankly at the bridge deck that continued to extend in the opposite direction towards sea level, and his body seemed to be as unshakeable as the surrounding reefs: "...... Call. ”

"It's really a very long dream."

Tears welled up involuntarily in his eyes, and he slowly knelt down in the direction of the sea, and the hands that were clutching the land were also clenched deeply in front of his knees at this time, and he convulsed like a sigh or a cry: "Although it has not completely reached the level of overlap, I have reenacted the entire history of the construction of the Bridge of Miracles, I really, I have really ......"

"You've done your best."

Kneeling behind each other with scars and mud, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who approached at some point, reached out and gently hugged the other party's back: "You have all done your best, you have done a good job." ”

“…… No, it's not over yet. ”

Reaching out and holding the other party's arm around his waist, Duan Qing, who clenched his teeth and did not cry, replied intermittently in a suppressed tone: "Now we have only reached the level of completion, and there are still thousands of years away from completely recreating the broken bridge of our era, if I want to rebuild the bridge of freedom that we know, I still need to completely walk down the road of decay that has been left for thousands of years——"

"Who told you to do this?" The strength between his arms was used a little tighter, and Xue Ling's Phantom Ice interrupted the other party's words in a low voice: "With that bridge recreated, can we achieve the result we want?" ”

"If we don't, we may have to sacrifice more people." The voice became lifeless, and Duan Qing's face, which was still stained with tears, gradually lost its original expression: "Rather than watching those people disappear, I would rather bear these guilt on my own shoulders." ”

"Then you should at least tell us." There was a slight silence for a while, but Xue Ling's face became unusually soft: "A person's strength is limited after all-you told me this truth." ”

"It's useless."

The surrounding scenes seemed to begin to disappear and shatter with Duan Qing's sigh again, but the figure belonging to Duan Qing kneeling in front of the beach did not follow at this moment, and these broken scenes disappeared together: "You don't know how much of a problem Molna left me, even if we are all included, I am afraid that the speed of the advancement of this dream will not even increase by a fraction of a percent." ”

"Molnar?" The topic that was originally intended to be preachy shifted to a different place, and Xue Ling Phantom Bing gently leaned on the side of Duan Qing's back and suddenly raised a little: "Did he tell you that you should do this?" ”

“……”

"I don't know what he told you, but I've always had a not-so-mature idea."

Feeling the reaction of the other party no longer answering, Xue Lingphantom Bing said his next sentence to himself: "Since the other party is also a special person who understands our true identity and never gets along with us according to normal routines, then we should naturally treat him with the same attitude that we should treat our opponent." ”

"For example, it is possible that he is hiding the truth."

Letting go of his hands, Xue Ling Phantom Ice slowly pulled Duan Qing's weak upper body over: "Even no matter how difficult the task is, there should be a possibility of completion, he will not give you a completely impossible task." ”

“…… What do you want to say? ”

"Your dreams are not a necessity for what he has arranged, what he has laid out is just 'trading chips'."

Pointing to the endless bridge between the sea breeze and the blue waves standing in front of the two of them, Xue Lingxue whispered, "You sketched the bridge of miracles in the virtual world for him, and he is responsible for sending this bridge back to the real world with 'us'—isn't that his ultimate goal?" ”

"What he wants may be a small expectation, and you might have given him a big miracle."

The rumbling sound spread around the two of them with the collapse of the world, and the light from the top of the world was gradually dispelled by the white mist around Duan Qing and the two of them, and the countless figures who were originally celebrating and cheering around them slowly disappeared like phantom foam, presenting the fresh air unique to the real free world and the bridge of freedom that seemed to be intact between the blue sky and the end of the sea.
