Chapter 1098: Long Dream
13-year-old Freda? Verzer had a long dream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNo, or rather, it's not a dream, it's another life, another experience, or even another world.
Miss Maria had always been the gentle, kind, and amiable priestess, and though a clergyman, she was still the woman who had the most crush on the boys of the town. She presides over the small church in the small town of Vermont, teaching the children in the town and nearby townships to read and write. In that remote town that can't be found on the map, she is the only enlightenment teacher who can teach people to read, and the only good doctor that the villagers can find.
The town is very remote, and the church is naturally not rich, but Miss Maria has always been an optimistic person. In her free time, her favorite side hustle is to weave flower baskets out of thatch, and she has already made some straw ornaments and toys. When they have saved up a cart, they will ask Uncle White, who is driving the car, to sell it in the city, so as to subsidize the expenses of the church and the medicine expenses of the villagers. It's not an easy job, but Miss Maria weaves flower baskets and sings all sorts of cheerful and beautiful songs. She has always been such a contemplative and happy person, and if there are children who want to learn music and singing, she will teach them carefully without reservation.
Freuda was one such child who loved music and singing. When Miss Maria came to the town to preside over the church at the age of six, she became her musical student.
She feels like she's very talented and works very hard at the same time.
"You should go to the conservatory in the city, otherwise it would be a pity to delay such a good voice." Miss Maria earnestly persuaded, "Yes, Freda is the most gifted child I have ever met, and so beautiful. It would be best if it could be sent to the art academies of Serokhia or Neosfia. ā
However, Freda's family was a miller and baker in the town, and although she was a wealthy person in a remote town, she could not afford to spend a child studying in the imperial capital of Auckland or the capital of the Seven Seas.
Freuda was a realistic child, and she decided to give up her dreams...... Until one day, Dad didn't know where to go, and pulled out a bag of some years of Auckland gold coins.
"It's not a tuition fee, but when it comes to Neosfia's living expenses, it may be necessary for our whole family to work together and continue to find a way." The father disturbed his head and said a little embarrassedly, "What? Where do you say the money came from? Uh-huh, so you know, dear Freda, a mature man must have private money! When you grow up, you must pay great attention to it! ā
He was a wealthy member of the Weerzer family, married his mother, and inherited his grandfather's mill and bakery. All along, according to what her grandfather instilled in Freda, her father was actually a cynical, upside-down person, with a lot of unrealistic and cranky thoughts in his head, like a bear child who never grew up and was completely unreliable. If it weren't for the fact that he was handsome, physically strong, and saved the lives of his grandfather's family, and his mother fell in love with him at first sight, his grandfather would not have married the most beautiful girl in the town to this stranger of unknown origin.
However, at that time, Freda suddenly felt that her father, who was usually hippie and smiling, was so tall, standing up to the sky and the earth, like a mountain.
She began to tie baskets and straw with Miss Maria, and then took Mr. White's carriage and went out into the city through all the streets, selling them all along the streets. She was beautiful, had a lively brain, and was a good speaker, and she sold more and more baskets, hats, and other small straw handicrafts, and slowly saved a lot of money. Of course, a beautiful little girl like this who is not familiar with life goes to the city to do business, not to mention being bullied, even if it is possible that the world evaporates that day. Fortunately, Miss Maria kept Essen, the best boy in the village, five years older than Freda, to follow her.
"No matter what, I'll protect you! I'm sure I'll protect you, even if it's my own life! Essen lowered his head shyly, not even daring to look at himself, and smiled innocently. In front of himself, he couldn't even say a word.
After Essen, wielding an iron rod and smashing down seven or eight big men who had come to look for trouble, Freda's small business in the city was completely smooth sailing.
By the time you are 16 years old, you should be able to save enough for half a year's living expenses, right? That's enough for me to find some temporary jobs in Neosfia. No problem, you must be able to! Freda! She looks forward to the future like this, and her life is full of hope.
However, when he was 13, his mother fell ill and needed a large sum of money to heal her. Unless she took out the savings that were originally prepared for her studies, those priceless rare medicinal materials would definitely ruin such a happy and prosperous little family.
It was a dilemma, but Freda walked up to her worried father, sister and brother and said seriously, "It's all about the whole family being together!" Without any of them, it is impossible to have happiness again. ā
"Freda, you shouldn't sacrifice your future for me!" The mother, who was on the sickbed, kept shaking her head and refused to accept treatment, until the girl called Miss Maria to persuade her.
"Your daughter has made up her mind! If you give up treatment in such a hurry, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life, and she will naturally not be happy. What do you want to talk about your dreams and future? ā
Miss Priestess's words made her mother cry, but after crying, she finally accepted the kindness of the whole family and was ready to face life and treatment positively.
Soon after, my father brought back a potions doctor who was known to be very famous, and brought with him a lot of valuable and effective medicinal herbs. He was busy for a month, and his mother finally regained her smile and health. Of course, on the other hand, Freda, who has the most beautiful face and the most moving singing voice in the nearby villages, also lost the opportunity to go to Neosfia to further her studies. However, at that time, in the face of everyone's guilty expressions, although she was a little pity, she really felt happy.
For the rest of her life, the girl never left her hometown town of Vermont. At the age of 18, he married Essen, who had been silently guarding him. The other party was neither handsome, nor wealthy, and even a little silent, and had no merit other than a bit of brute strength and ruthlessness, but he loved himself deeply, there was no doubt about it.
Freda still had a deep love for music, so she procured second-hand music materials from traveling merchants, ranging from singing pronunciation to instrumental playing and composing lyrics. She began to teach her children the sentiment and nature of loving music, and the eldest son and eldest daughter really became well-known professional composers and singers.
In her later years, her grandchildren formed the Wiesel Choir, and their fame spread throughout the coast and the nations.
It's a happy life, and there's nothing else to ask for, so much she thought in her old age......
No, no, no, it's not real at all! This is not the case at all!
Dad was indeed like a child who had not grown up, and he was not at odds with the farmers and townspeople who had never traveled a hundred miles in his life, but he was definitely not an ordinary traveler, and he had no private money. The so-called "tuition" was something he had brought from the local lord's treasury overnight.
Miss Maria is a traveling priestess, but this is nothing more than a disguise, but she is actually a mage who has been wanted for violating the refining and selling of forbidden potions. The reason why she came to settle in Vermont was because the valley outside the town was very suitable for the growth of special medicinal herbs. She sold the straw weaving goods in the city, which actually concealed the newly refined illegal medicines.
Essen, a childhood sweetheart, does exist, but he is a battlefield orphan picked up by Miss Maria, a man who has already seen killing and bloodshed at the age of seven or eight.
It is also true that Freyda helps Miss Maria in her business. Few would have doubted that a little girl's small, cute, handmade fabrication would be a forbidden potion, and she was paid a handsome amount in return.
But...... The others are true!
Mom and Dad and older siblings are real, and the family is happy! It's true that Miss Maria loves to sing, and it's also true that Miss Maria taught herself to sing! Mr. Essen, who followed him with an iron rod with a hidden blade and protected himself, was also real, and his longing for himself was also real, and the precocious Freda could see it!
In the same way, my mother's serious illness is also real...... However, it was not the potions doctor who followed his father back to the town, but the heavily armed Black Sea and pirates.
In the midst of the fire, the whole town was burning. Brutal pirates and Black Sea soldiers, slaying down all living creatures in their sight. The father and elder brother seemed to have known the origin of the opposition, and it was an opponent who had absolutely no way to compromise, so they immediately took out the weapons hidden in the cellar and fortress of the house, and fought bravely against each other. My mother and sister hid themselves in a secret compartment in the room, which was so small that only the underage self could barely hide in it.
She crawled out of the house through the passage behind the dark grid, escaped from the bushes behind the courtyard, and ran with all her might towards Miss Maria's church. In the girl's simple mind, only the mysterious Miss Maria and Essen represent strength, and only they can save their parents and siblings.
However, when she came to the door of the church, she saw Essen who had been cut in two...... Miss Maria, on the other hand, had her limbs broken and lay on the ground dying, letting the pirates press on her and vent round after round. Miss "Priest", who had been tossed and was about to die, turned her head to see Freda hiding behind the fence outside the church door, and her gaze, which was about to lose focus, suddenly became a little focused at this moment.
"Run!" She sent a silent message with her eyes, and it was the last message she left behind before she died.
"Can't escape! Can't escape! Can't escape! Freuda said to herself. At that moment, it was as if something hidden in the blood had finally broken out of some of the prison engraved on the soul and spirit and rushed out. Then, with a calm and calm that scared even herself at the time, she sneaked into the church and took out all the traps and potions that Miss Maria had left behind.
She began to fight enemies in a town that had been reduced to a sea of corpses and fire, using simple magic items and potions, and also killed a large number of Argonians and pirates. She did the best she could, not even the slightest mistake...... However, the reality is not a Mary Sue game where underage girls are allowed to farm monsters. In the final analysis, when the power is in an absolutely unshakable advantage, no matter how hard you try, it is only to delay the coming of defeat.
She ran out of all her poisons and props, and was eventually grabbed by the neck by a wurmist and carried to the square.
"You're not their own daughter, my sweet little princess...... Here, you are the only one who is a descendant of Goldenbeard Drake! Naga's woman looked at herself in the flames of the square and smiled: "If you were willing to come out early, there wouldn't have been so many things happening, would it?" ā
"Again, you're not just a descendant of Goldenbeard Drake, are you? The daughter of a miller in the countryside and a retired snitch gave birth to a daughter with such beauty and natural temperament, the daughter of the lord of the city...... No, even the princess of this country can't be compared! Doesn't anyone find it strange? ā
"You should go where you need to go! Descendant of Goldenbeard Drake, West? Drake, also known as the 'Grey Shore Knight' West? d, and the 'Star Chantor' Garangier? Moondew's daughter. Your father is the grandson of Drake and his Night Elf lover, and your mother is the famous half-elf witch and the saint of the Star Worship Order, the original cult that worships the stars? Lovely child, you have a noble golden blood in your body, right? ā
"But why? Tell me, child, why are you able to hide the physical characteristics of the noble golden species, and why can you grow up naturally like an ordinary human child? ā
Freda didn't seem to hear the other at all, and kept lying on the cold stone slab, staring blankly at the center of the square, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes not blinking. Beside the roaring flames in the center of the square, there were the heads of all the townspeople, friends who had grown up together, aunts from the dessert shop next door, fat owners of the town's only tavern and restaurant, grandfathers who were old-fashioned and serious, and Uncle White who was smiling and driving cars...... and Miss Maria, Essen...... And, of course, mom and dad and older siblings.
"After a person dies, the memories of the head can be preserved for a while. Many spellcasters can not only obtain information through this, but also judge the truth of life and death. Our action is very important, and everyone who has seen us must shut up forever! ā
Tears flowed silently from the girl's face. She didn't cry, she didn't beat her chest, she didn't even react to jump up violently to fight people, she just sat there like a soul had left her body.
After the last trance, the world in front of the girl's eyes collapsed.
She opened her eyes suddenly, the dizziness in her eyes, and the trance in her mind, the sudden sense of unreality and dissonance of reality when she woke up from a big dream, all the complex emotions turned into an avalanche in an instant, pressing from all directions, making her almost unconscious again. However, although she closed her eyes and began to tremble, she did not faint again, apparently bearing the physical and psychological resentment of her own will. After a while, the girl seemed to finally get used to the situation, and slowly opened her eyes.
āā¦ā¦ Don't waste your efforts, please kill me. She looked up at the ceiling she didn't recognize, didn't squint, and said in a flat tone, as if she had already understood life and death. (To be continued.) )
