Chapter 55: Dreams

"I'm so tired—"

Gollum and his party dragged their tired bodies, originally planning to go back, but they couldn't resist Illya's enthusiasm, and everyone decided to stay for another day.

"I'm going to have a lot of fun tonight."

Einzberen Castle has never been so lively, and Illya, who has been lonely since she was a child, seems to like such days.

"Next time, I'm too tired today."

Gollum shook her head tiredly, Shirou and Tosaka nodded one after another, their bodies were about to collapse, and they just wanted to rest.

"No, I'm already ready for entertainment."

Illya's tone changed, and she gave an indescribable bewitching smile, an expression that was the appearance of a little devil who had come up with a great prank.

So under the vigilant gaze of everyone, Illya activated the magic circuit.

As a small-scale Holy Grail, as long as it is what Illya thinks and the magic is enough, even if I don't understand the process, I can realize the magic, as long as the magic can be supported by "theory", the result can be obtained, similar to the fantasy magic of Gollum, which is very convenient.

Boom, it felt like an earthquake, and everyone only felt that there was a huge magic power fermenting, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't notice the change.

"Did you do anything?" Looking at Illya in a daze, Gollum asked suspiciously.

"Woo... I was going to turn the castle into a labyrinth, but it seems to have failed, and my magic power doesn't seem to be enough~~"

With an astonishing momentum, the Holy Grail power that intends to initiate a landslide and earth split, and the power of the Holy Grail, which is intended to be realized, is actually used for such an inconsequential matter.

"Sister, help me too." Illya cast a pleading gaze, Gollum was full of black lines, and although it was possible to construct a labyrinth with magic, what was it?

Of course, the result was unsuccessful, and although Illya was not happy, she was helpless.

At night, it was pitch black outside, and Gollum lay on the bed and looked up at the strangely shaped moon, as if he had been bewitched by the moon.

Lie down and spread your hands and feet to soothe your tired body.

The slowly attacking Sandman anesthetized his consciousness.

Although Heizhen was still nagging beside her, this did not stop the spread of sleepiness, and not long after closing her eyes, she fell asleep.

This night, I slept soundly, and Gollum also had a dream, dreaming of a beautiful Gensokyo, a fairyland-like place. Here, beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere, and even the occasional girl with a charming face can be seen, and there are also cute elves and majestic generals.

If this is a country, there is only one word that can come to mind - fairyland, however, it is very strange that no one is known, but everyone here seems to have a lot of respect for her, and every time there will be a group of people who bow their heads to her to show respect, but this is not the kind of awe of subordinates and subordinates, but similar to respect and admiration, just like the emotions of great people or idols.

There is no hierarchy here, people are not so busy, life is easy, every moment of every day seems to be quick and easy.

Under the rendering of this atmosphere, Gollum also felt relaxed and gradually blended in.

That scenario didn't last long, though.

In a flash of light, she reappeared in another scene, a sun-drenched wasteland.

And he was lying on the dry earth.

The hot atmosphere burns the skin, robbing it of moisture and strength.

His skin became as pale as a dead man, and he gradually lost his blood color. The heart stopped beating, and the blood flow, which had been sustaining life, lost its efficacy.

It feels like life is at the end of its life, but consciousness is there, and it's a strange feeling, and it's not under your control at all.

After a while, Gollum suddenly felt a headache and a special pain, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears constantly urging her, but she didn't want to open her eyes.

"Wake up, senior!" The voice became more and more rapid, and Gurdazi opened his eyes with difficulty, very painful, very vague, and very incomprehensible.

In front of her was a young girl, faintly visible with dust on her face, looking like she had experienced many battles.

- Matthew?

Gollum called out the name unconsciously, although she didn't look like a real girl, but she wouldn't admit it.

No matter what happens, he will never forget Matthew, but Gollum doesn't understand what happened, and no matter how much he thinks about it, it's the result of blankness.

Inwardly, she seemed to have forgotten something.

"Senpai.." The girl clenched her fists tightly and showed an expression of powerlessness.

What is Matthew talking about? Why are you so anxious. Is it something important? But...... Gollum didn't understand what she meant.

"I ......"

I wanted to express myself, but Gollum found that she couldn't make a sound, and it was difficult to even move, so she could only stare at the vague Matthew.

"Senior, I can't continue to protect you, if my predecessor will miss me a little, even if it's just a little bit, I will try to climb up." Matthew smiled, as if he was comforting Gollum, although it was warm but also heartache, this sentence seemed to touch some kind of nerve in the depths of Gollum's mind, and suddenly it hurt.

When I opened my eyes again, there was darkness all around...... There was silence, there was nothing left, and Matthew was gone, only boundless loneliness.

It's a disgusting feeling that she's alone in a dark world.

However, Gollum has no fear, the endless darkness does not seem to have the qualifications to make her afraid, and the abyssal world does not bring her a special negative effect, but just a simple irritability.

She hated the feeling, closed her eyes again, and fell asleep...... I don't feel anything.

After a long time, Gollum felt more and more abnormal, and just when she was about to move desperately, she suddenly opened her eyes from the bed.

"Were all dreams just now?"

After waking up, I was stunned for a few seconds and my head immediately cleared up a lot, but the dream just now was vivid, and what I saw and felt was too real.

I have never felt such a real dream, whether it is the fairyland at the beginning or the wasteland later, it makes Gollum feel very deeply, as if it exists or once existed.

Gollum doesn't think it's a coincidence, she rarely believes in coincidences, everything that seems impossible but happens, has its inevitable reason, it's just not discovered.

Like the apocalyptic dreams I used to have, none of this seemed so simple.

Just as Gura was thinking, a violent roar broke the silence of the night.
