42 Lucid

In the cold room......

"Milo, can you hear me? Wake up, can you hear me? ”

Milo narrowed her eyes, only to feel that her mind had just cleared up from the chaos, her heavy eyelids slowly lifted, and her blurred vision gradually became clear—Kelan's face appeared in front of her, full of worry and anxiety.

"Great, you're finally awake." Seeing Milo open her eyes, she also breathed a sigh of relief, "Fainting like this in such a cold place, if there is no one around, you will die." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Melo gradually adjusted to the light of the oil lamp, touched his empty head, and asked with a frown. The strength of the body has not fully recovered, and the blood is still active, coupled with the cold local climate, the torso is stiff and numb.

"You get up first, and I'll tell you." Koran struggled to help him up and sit down on the bed beside him, lighting the oil lamps around him to make sure the room was warmer. Melo took a few deep breaths and rubbed his hands, his body gradually regained its temperature, and the blood began to flow again, allowing his memories to slowly recover in his empty consciousness - he only vaguely remembered that he was in Heidi's room, but judging by the rudimentary furnishings next to him, he had no place to move.

"I passed out?" He said slightly weakly.

"Hey, just now Erin suddenly ran out and said that you might be crazy, and as soon as I came, I found you fainting to the ground." Klan explained, still checking Milo for injuries.

"How did I pass out?" Milo tried to move his stiff limbs, barely getting some sense.

"I'm guessing you've encountered something you can't accept for a while, so much so that you panic and cause confusion...... Did you just see any vision? Erin said you talk to the air all the time. ”

"I talk to the air? And you said 'just now'? How long have I been in a coma......"

"It's midnight, and it's almost the middle of the night...... It should be considered March 8th. ”

"March 8...... Wind Chimes told me that today is the princess's birthday......" As she remembered Lilith's birthday, Milo's memory gradually returned, remembering the long story that Wind Chimes had told at night.

"Wind chimes? Princess? Kran looked confused, but not as shocked as Erin and Snow Dog just now, "Sure enough, you really saw something we couldn't see." ”

"Can I see that? Can't you see? Melo muttered to himself, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he cried out, "Magic letterhead! Wind Chime's letter to the princess on the battlefield of the Black Gate! ”

"Magic letterhead?" Kelan asked suspiciously, "Do you know this thing?" ”

"Wind chimes once gave me one, and as long as I wrote something on it, she would know." The fragments of consciousness were constantly replenished, and Milo's mind was completely awake in an instant.

Kelan also added in time: "As far as I know, what you said is just a use of magic letterheads, and I heard that some magic letterheads can also reflect the appearance of the letter writer, which is no different from a real person." That would explain it - you can't see an illusion reflected in a magical letterhead, do you? ”

"If Erin they can't see it, then it should be." With that, he hurriedly looked around the room.

"Are the illusions still there? Should I say that the 'wind chimes' are still there? Kelan also looked around and asked, of course she couldn't see anything unusual.

"Gone, not there......" Milo didn't see the figure of the wind chime, and he began to recall some details: the "wind chime" who told the story did show some reactions that were different from ordinary people, the most intuitive thing was that he couldn't answer Milo's questions, but just told his story in a certain way.

"When the letter is finished, the illusion will disappear." Kran stood up and said, "Then this letter should be in this room, or nearby...... Hey, here. She leaned over and took out a piece of paper from under the bed and read it softly: "'Dear Milo, if you see this letter, it means that I am dead...... 'Oops!' ”

Startled, Milo hurried to get the letter from Klan's hand—a suicide note that Heidi had left for him, and Klan let go, and she immediately realized that she had taken the wrong thing. After carefully folding Heidi's suicide note and putting it away, Mello also found that his body had regained his vitality, and in order to avoid being too embarrassed, he first proposed: "Let's find it together." ”

"Hey." Kelan promised that her behavior of reading the letter just now really embarrassed Milo, and it was not appropriate for her to read it out loud without consideration.

"By the way, Erin, what about them?" Milo asked.

"I told Erin to wait outside the fortress now, and when you find the letter, you should go to her first to tell her that she is safe...... If I could, I would like to read the contents of the letter, and I would like to know what kind of secrets are hidden in that desperate desert, if any. ”

"Well, if it's Kelan who wants to see it...... But I also have something I want to ask you for help with, and that is...... This room was the one Heidi had stayed in before she was alive and Erin had just seen me here and thought I was ......"

"Well, I know...... I'm going to explain to her that the vision of this letter has been in this room and you can't leave, right? "Klan knows, she knows Heidi, and she understands what Milo's presence here means to Erin.

"Thank you very much, Kolan...... Also, I really didn't mean to hurt Erin......"

"Well, of course I do. Don't be so polite, because ...... I would also like to say thank you. ”

Subsequently, the two searched the room, but found no shadow of the magic letterhead, including the secret door.

"Let's take a look outside the door, maybe in the hallway." Kelan proposed. As expected, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the room, they saw some letterheads in the recess of the doorway of the opposite room, which were difficult to spot from the corridor because they were in the corners of the recess. Klan was the first to walk to the letter, but retracted her outstretched hands—to avoid the same embarrassment as before, she motioned to Milo: "You can open it, this is for you." ”

"Hmm." Melo picked up the letterhead, there were about four or five sheets, densely filled with words, and a piece of parchment with a map-like pattern printed on it, Melo pulled it out and looked at it carefully, "This is ......"

That's when —

"Oh no! Captain Entekoman, and the Administrator! ”

The old servant ran panting from the other end of the corridor, anxiously and nervously shouting, "Outside...... Something big is going on out there! Go check it out! ”

When Milo and Koran heard this, they didn't care to read the letter, and immediately turned around and ran towards the main entrance of the fortress.

They are about to see something they didn't expect......
