Chapter 1: "New Life"
In the court of Zwick Island.
The silver spaceship did not immediately return to the cloud world, but flew here under the guidance of the Black Lord.
Like Pirate Island, the land where this court is located is also one of the few remnants of the magic web in the world under the clouds. Mr. Palamedes, the Lord of the Black, built his base in the world under the clouds "according to the suitability of the place". In fact, he only showed his hand a few times in front of the poor Zwick King, and the king followed him.
Compared to the palaces built by magic in the clouds, the Zwick court was somewhat shabby. When landing, the Black Lord used a little tricks to hide the ship's hull, and finally did not cause a riot. Only the king greeted the crowd with a few princes and nobles.
For Dimi and the girl, this means that they can finally take a break from their hard days.
However, there is another guy here who is out of step with everyone in the Empire......
……
In a secluded courtyard of the Royal Palace.
"Mr. Wei," Goeth reminded him kindly, "you've been staring at this glass of red wine for half an hour. How about just drinking it? ”
"Eternal Blood" - that is, Wei glanced at him.
"I'm not like you," he said, "and I have something to think about now." Alcohol dulls the brain, but there's no other drink here. Not to mention ......"
He sighed, and the sunless face - the silver mask of the past had long been thrown into the sea by him - showed a melancholy expression: "Actually, I secretly drank a little. It's really hard to drink. ”
Goth laughed: "Then you just said that it won't be over if it doesn't taste good?" ”
Wei shook his head: "I asked the servant, there are no other drinks here." I don't want to be stunned by a glass of water. ”
Goeth said leisurely, "Your Majesty has not ...... But that doesn't mean we don't either. ”
Then, under Wei's astonished gaze, he conjured a glass of sour plum juice.
"This is what you prepared a long time ago," Wei said, looking at the crystal cup filled with sour plum juice for a moment, "The magic net here does not support you to use such a spell. ”
He took a sip: this sour plum juice is really sour...... Out of courtesy to Goth, he did not point this out.
"Of course," Goth sighed, "most of the food in the Floating City is supplied here, and we will provide some goods for the people here. However, some fruits that are not available locally are a rarity. After all, we ourselves are not very rich, and even fewer can transport it to the clouds. ”
"I can see that," Wei said, looking around, "you haven't even made this 'broken courtyard' more beautiful. ”
This isn't the first time he's complained about the shabby here. The area of the palace is quite large, but the earthlings seem to be a landlord's compound with higher walls.
"The teacher didn't want to be too conspicuous," Goth said, "and we didn't want to suppress the whole cloud world by force, so we had to avoid causing a massive panic." ”
A moment of silence. Wei stared at the sour plum juice that still had more than half a cup left, and did not speak.
This small courtyard is specially designated for "a few distinguished cloud visitors" to live. Dimi and the maiden are not there. Queen Ligenta meditates in the corner of the courtyard - but Goth is quite sure that she is just staring at herself and the "eternal blood".
No wonder she ......
"How does it feel to have memories again?" Goth asked.
"Very good," Wei replied, "but also chaotic. As I said earlier, what I have now is something to sort out. ”
"How are your memories made up now?"
"Well, I had the clearest experience of living in my hometown, and then I had all my experiences in Okad. I identify with these memories......" Wei said, "'These are what I do.'" I have no doubt about it. ”
If I remember everything from the beginning...... Probably going directly to the French Power Country, Wei Yuanhe thought depressedly.
However, it was precisely because he stayed in Okard and accepted the help of Nicholas that he was able to meet Lijie.
Sadly, the Light World has transferred some of her remaining masculine concepts to herself, and according to the Black Lord, it seems that it will take some time for its effects to take effect.
Add some masculinity...... Well, probably not a bad thing.
"I see," the singer nodded, lowering his voice, "you and the 'Bright World' are the same person. The memory of living in this world in the 'Bright World', do you also ......?"
As a puzzle controller, Goth has a strong curiosity about the mental condition of the personality after it is divided into two. It is unrealistic to call the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" and "The Day of the End" as a memory comparison, and it is very likely that the "Bright World" and "Eternal Blood" will be on the same front in the future, and they are suitable interview subjects.
Wei Bai glanced at him: "No!" ”
"Really?"
"Really," Wei said honestly, "I do see some silhouettes of that woman's memory...... But it's like a 'slideshow', and I can only understand what the other side is experiencing. The specifics are not at all. I don't think it's 'me' in the slightest. ”
Goethe didn't know what "slide" was, but he still figured out what Wei meant.
"You're really different people."
"Of course we're completely different people." Wei said strongly.
"And what are you going to call her in the future?"
Wei was silent for a moment.
"We haven't decided yet," he said, "and maybe, I can call her ......."
“…… What to call her? ”
"Sister...... I mean, I think it's worth considering that I'm a brother and sister to the Bright World. ”
"Ah," Goth winked, "then you'll have to be prepared to be beaten by a parasol." ”
"But I don't have a better ...... either"
"No, I mean, she'll stick to being your sister." Goth said with a blank face.
"Is that the reason?"
……
One was wearing a white robe and the other was a black robe, and the two walked leisurely in the small courtyard.
Empress Licenda seems to have really entered a state of complete meditation. The sky is overcast, but the sky of the world under the clouds is not at all in a state other than "gloomy".
"The battle to come," Goth ended his rambling, "will you be on our side?" ”
Wei smiled.
This guy is finally willing to get to the point.
You have to be cautious......
"'We,'" he asked rhetorically, "Mr. Goth, do you mean the Floating City?" Or Elrios, or the Empire? ”
"Enemies of all Nicholas, my friend," said Gort, "and no matter where we end, the only enemy I have at this moment is Nicholas." ”
"I will not point my gun on the 'Bright World,' my 'sister,'" Wei said, "as to whether I will be an enemy of Mr. Nicholas......
In front of Goth and others, he had quietly changed his name to Nicholas.
"He is gracious to you," sighed Goth, "if you will not ......."
"Even if I am still the 'eternal blood' of the past," Wei said, "I am seriously considering whether or not to disobey his orders." ”
'Really?' Eternal Blood' is Ocard's great loyalist. Nicholas has unconditional trust in you. ”
"If he really trusted me unconditionally, he wouldn't have let me go to White City without telling me his plan to attack White City. You must know that I am a 'soulless', and it will be difficult for Erios to obtain information from me. ”
"So you've long been dissatisfied with him?" Goth was amazed.
"It's not disgruntled. I'm grateful that he has me as his heir, but that doesn't mean I identify with everything about him. At least, I don't want to see the tragedy in White City happen again. ”
"In good conscience?" Goth stared into Wei's eyes.
"Not only my conscience, but also my reason tells me the same conclusion," Wei said peacefully, "whether it is my hometown or this world of Seerland, no one can conquer the world on his own." An invincible ruler whose lifespan is endless...... Such a rule will not last long. ”
"Maybe that's why he chose you, 'Eternal Blood'." Goth's bite on the word "eternal" very hard.
"If so, my will should be respected," Wei said, "and I have been in the dark all along, Mr. Nicholas's true purpose. I can perceive it...... Beyond what is on the surface, Mr. Nicholas is hiding other secrets that even I, including Mr. King, do not know. ”
"What are you going to ask?"
"If I had the right time," Wei replied, "I would go to him." As long as I'm his heir, I've the right to know his hole cards. ”
Although the girl said that "Eternal Blood's sense of belonging to Okard will be greatly reduced now", Goth is still unsure whether "Eternal Blood" will defect.
And for Wei......
Truly.
Nicholas was a tyrannical and even evil ruler, and now he was gaining the upper hand. Obviously, his own betrayal may well be the key to defeating Nicholas......
Nicholas Ocard.
Wei is not a foolish loyalist who only "repays the favor". Wei, who has been working for Nicholas for a long time, instinctively sensed that Nicholas was still hiding some important secrets. Perhaps, I can find out the truth behind it.
Even if he really wants to part ways with Nicholas, he must take Lijie with him......
"So you're going to go back to Okad first?" Goth asked.
"Even if I say, 'Well, I'm willing to betray Okard right away,'" Wei said, "you won't give up my 'nail' next to Mr. Nicholas." But can you trust the information I conveyed? ”
Goth was noncommittal: "We will check the authenticity of this information." ”
Wei shook his head.
"Whatever you think. Speaking of which," he asked, "Dimi and ......"
He almost said "my sister". The girl will definitely not agree, and if Goth hits her own little report to the girl, she will die......
"Dimi and the 'Bright World'. Where did they go? ”
