Volume 3 Sword Art Online Chapter 143 My Promise with the World
Alice was stunned: "What? โ
The White Queen glanced at the hairy monster, the hairy monster roared briefly, the white queen nodded, and her gaze turned back to Alice: "This is the original words of the March Rabbit." โ
"Six things...... Alice muttered.
"Do you remember anything?" The White Queen looked at Alice expectantly.
Alice nodded, looking a little uncertain: "Yes, but ......"
Alice took a deep breath and shook her head, "No, it's nothing. โ
The White Queen took her hand.
Alice looked up.
The White Queen looked deeply into her eyes: "We are with you. โ
Alice nodded slowly.
โฆโฆ
The moon shines like water.
Alice sits in the White Queen's garden.
The White Queen's palace is an interesting place because it was built on the edge of a cliff, and from the other side of the cliff you can see the endless sea, and I heard that no one who has ever sailed far has ever been able to return from that sea alive.
Judging from the location of the palace, the cliff with no way out may be a failure, but no one has questioned this, probably because there is really no need to retreat if you can attack here.
Perhaps there is another reason.
The sea in the moonlight is really beautiful.
Alice hummed a vague tune from her memory, looking out over the endless sea, with no focus in her field of vision.
The sea of broken silver did not see the horror that others had told her about.
"Is it pretty?" A calm voice came from behind him.
Alice glanced back, then turned her head back, "Pretty." โ
The Mad Hatter sat down beside her, took off his hat, and gazed with her at the sea for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but he said, "You know, I'm actually scared. โ
Alice looked at him and didn't speak.
The Mad Hatter didn't wait for her to respond, and said to himself, "Not only when I just decided to become a knight and beheaded my enemies for the first time, but even if I ordered the slaughter before, or now, I feel scared. โ
"I'm a hatter." "I knew from birth that I would inherit the craft and reputation of the Hightop family of hat-making and make all kinds of hats, from the king's crown to the homeless man's turban," he said in a firm voice. โ
"But when I was eighteen, I had an argument with my father, and he insisted that I shouldn't be in those inferior hats." Mad Hatter's eyes were misty: "I asked him what an inferior hat is, and does it mean that even hats should be divided into superior and inferior?" โ
"My father told me that hats are order, things that help people understand their identities and responsibilities, and inferior hats, of course, mean inferior people."
Alice looked at him seriously: "What do you think?" โ
The Mad Hatter smiled calmly: "I don't agree with him, I think the hat should be made to make people happy and bring convenience to people." โ
"The king's crown is set with precious stones, and that's because the king needs majesty."
"The round hats of gentlemen were originally meant to protect their heads with hard materials, and many decorations were added later."
"The workers' headscarves absorb sweat so they don't get hurt by sweat on their eyes."
"I agree that the hat represents duty, but I disagree that the hat represents class. My father thought that the homeless people's headwraps were just rags, but I loved their joys and sorrows. The Mad Hatter said, "So I had a big fight with my father and ran away from home. โ
"Then the next year, the Queen's decisive day broke out, and my family was killed."
Alice asked softly, "Do you regret it?" โ
The Mad Hatter nodded, "Regret." โ
"But the Queen, they say you don't want to inherit the reputation of the Hightop family and pass on the skills." Alice was a little puzzled: "If you feel guilty about them, you should at least keep their skills." โ
The Mad Hatter shook his head, "I'm not going to inherit the reputation of the Hightop family. โ
He paused: "If my skills can indeed be passed on, then it should be in the name of 'Mad Hat Hightop', not 'Hightop's,'"
Alice was silent for a moment: "So you're just regretting your family's death, but you don't think you've done anything wrong?" โ
The Mad Hatter nodded, his eyes determined: "Of course, I didn't do anything wrong. โ
"What I regret the most is that I couldn't prove to my father that I was doing the right thing." Mad Hatter clenched his fists: "So at the Hightop family, my last comment is what my father said, 'You can never be a good hatter.'" โ
"That's why I'm fighting, revenge as the ultimate survivor of a family." He turned his head to look at Alice, "But what is your reason for fighting?" โ
Alice was a little confused: "I fought ...... Reason? โ
The Mad Hatter looked at her calmly: "No body that has been trained, no hard swordsmanship, no determination to kill, these are actually not important, because even if there are these things, no one can kill the Exploding Dragon." โ
"The oracle calendar indicates you, then you have the possibility of killing the Exploding Dragon." The Mad Hatter turned to look at the sea: "But it seems to me that you are not ready. โ
"Because what kills the Exploding Dragon will not be a virtuosity, but a determination beyond the mundane and imagination beyond the world." The Mad Hatter spoke firmly.
"It's a strange world because I can only see darkness whether I look forward or backward." Mad Hatter's tone was serious: "I don't know why, but whenever I think about this, the feeling of imprisoning my 'vocation' and wanting to take my life at any moment disappears. โ
He pursed his lips: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with my 'vocation', I just don't want to be forced to make hats." โ
"Whenever I start thinking about the problems of the world, the noose around my neck is temporarily loosened." He struggled a little: "But it's not all easy, there is also the fear of being helpless, like a kite with a severed string, seemingly floating freely in the wind, but it can fall from the sky at any moment." โ
"If you think the world is fake, then why are you still avenging your family?" Alice asked softly.
The Mad Hatter smiled at her, "Because, of course, they're my family. โ
"Man is a constantly changing creature formed by everything in the past, and if he denies his past, then his present self is not himself." Mad Hatter's tone was light: "I can regret it, I can be afraid, I can even hate my past, but for the sake of my current self, I have to accept them." โ
Alice looked at the sea from afar, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face: "Thank you." โ
The Mad Hatter chuckled, "Have you found your reason to fight?" โ
Alice nodded.
The Mad Hatter asked curiously, "What's that?" โ
Alice stood up and smiled brightly, "I won't tell you!" โ
โฆโฆ
"Bellโ"
"Bellโ"
"Bellโ"
The distant bell rang in the ears of every inhabitant of the underworld, and everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
Huge battlefield phantoms appeared in the sky, and then one by one the figures disappeared around them and appeared on the chessboard.
The day of the decisive battle has begun.
The Red and White Queen, the Mad Hatter, Anriel, Miley the Mouse, the Big Dog, the Chess Corps, the Poker Corps, the Twins, Alice, the Furry Monster, the Treant Elankoth and her people, the unknown beasts...... And so on - a black dragon.
All the warriors recognized by the Red and White Queen appeared in the vast battlefield in the sky.
The White Queen looked at her sister who she hadn't seen for many years on the other side, and her mood was complicated: "Sister, are you still not going to give up your atrocities?" โ
The Red Queen's eyes were empty and indifferent: "Atrocities? I have never committed atrocities. โ
The White Queen pursed her lips: "But you killed a lot of people......"
The Red Queen was expressionless: "They are not people. โ
The White Queen choked for breath and closed her eyes.
When it was reopened, it was filled with unshakable determination: "Then, I will have to defeat you!" โ
The Red Queen looked at the White Queen, and her eyes rarely revealed a trace of complicated feelings, but then she was decisively cut off: "Don't talk nonsense, let's start." โ
With a wave of her hand, the huge black dragon flew into the battlefield.
"So, where is the legendary warrior Alice?" The Red Queen looked across the side.
The dragon roared and let out a thunderous laugh: "Which bedbug? Bring me a toothpick to get my pedicure? โ
The White Queen looked at Alice.
Alice smiled and shook her hand and stepped into battle.
The dragon's orange-yellow eyes looked down at Alice, who was dressed in silver armor, and let out a low laugh: "You are Alice?" โ
Alice looked back at his huge vertical pupils and replied firmly, "Yes, I am, Alice!" โ
The dragon silently looked down at the little human girl whose head had been severed on the oracle calendar, and cautiously scanned back and forth for a long time, but never found anything about this human to threaten him.
He is a symbol of invincibility in this world, and it is precisely because of his existence that the throne of the Red Queen can be so stable.
Unable to find Alice's specialness, he simply gave up thinking, no matter what kind of brave person he is, as long as he dies, then there is no threat.
He opened his mouth and spat out a dragon's breath, and the heat of thousands of degrees turned into a cone-shaped flame that sprayed towards Alice.
Alice rolled forward in embarrassment, dodging the flames, but her expression was not flustered, but unusually solemn, and she spoke, "You know what? I always promise six things in my dreams. โ
The dragon slapped it with a claw, and he heard Alice's voice, but had no idea of responding.
Alice sideways to dodge the slap and continued, "Talking bunny. โ
The giant tail is like a whip, and the wind is swept away!
Alice jumped back lightly, the wind sweeping in front of her, curling her hair but failing to hurt her.
At this moment, she was like a divine help, and she was able to dodge all the dragon's attacks by just following the spontaneous movements of her body.
She continued: "The door that connects the world. โ
"A big tree that moves."
"A magical cat."
Walber's sword began to tremble lightly and hum with excitement, and after a long time, he was finally about to slay his old enemy again!
Alice's hand was steady: "The sword that cuts everything." โ
Jianming seems to want to carry out this world.
The dragon began to attack frantically, but neither the dragon's breath nor the clawed tail could break through the silver-white light shield on Alice's side.
Alice raised the sword in her hand and said softly, "Unique, Alice. โ
