Chapter 232: Like a dream, not a dream
"Your Highness, a small group of thieves has been found on the other side of the Nelly Hills."
"Again? How many times this month? Ronald rubbed his forehead, looking impatient.
"Meow~"
"It's okay, not about you." Subconsciously patted the little head of the cat in his arms, and then Ronald thought for a moment before continuing, "Continue to send someone to clean up, and find someone to find out who is doing small actions, although it is rumored that it is a foreign spy, but the truth is not a guess." ”
Of course, Ronald said this only because it was unlikely to be other countries, such as the Duchy of Borgia of Sabrina to the south of the empire, the Duchy of Neverl of Rita to the west, and the Duchy of Prusunli and Bachessati to the west. The first two countries, Ronald, can be sure that he will not fight the empire, at least not now; As for the latter two, they are still busy hammering each other, and if he guesses correctly, Rita may also intervene in the near future, after all, such a good opportunity will definitely not be given up if it is him, so how can the two countries have the spare time to go to the territory of the empire to make trouble.
And to the east, the countries outside the eastern defense line have been bulldozed by mutant beasts more than a year ago, and even if there are people, they are just small villages of three or three, and the military threat is naturally impossible.
"It's just the north......" Ronald slowly knocked on the table, the north of the empire is the ocean, but not far across the sea is another continent, no, to be precise, it should be an archipelago, there is only one country on it, although the land area is less than a quarter of the Arms Empire, but in terms of strength, it is very powerful, especially in terms of naval warfare.
"Is Your Highness worried about the Syalanna Islands?"
"Don't worry, you should also know, the empire is a short board compared to that side in terms of navigation, it's okay if they don't come, if they come, the place where the war will start can only be within the empire, and we ...... Even if you want to attack the other party, you are not likely to succeed. Ronald sighed, and said this gave him another headache.
"Actually, there may be a solution on Queen Rita Evel's side on this issue."
"She?" Ronald was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded again, "Well, if it were her, it was indeed possible, but the last time it was ......"
The sudden silence made Navis speechless, but because he didn't forget his duty, he quickly opened his mouth again: "In that case, let people continue to stare at it first, if the other party really wants to call, it's better to prepare in advance, and as for the rest of the matter, let's talk about it later." ”
Navis doesn't want to escape from reality, but the current situation in the empire is really not optimistic, especially after the last mutant beast wave and this time the food harvest is not good, the atmosphere in the entire territory is not very good, whether it is civilians or nobles, and there are many restless people who take the opportunity to do things. Thinking of the bandits and missionary organizations in the recent period, Navis has a headache, especially on the side of the church this time, I don't know what the reason is, and I am surprisingly peaceful.
"That's all there is for the time being, I just hope nothing goes wrong in between." Ronald looked down at the little thing lying in his arms, and the cat "meowed" as if in response to him, and then closed his eyes again after licking the back of Ronald's hand.
"It seems to be sleeping longer lately, right?" Navis followed Ronald's line of sight and glanced at the white cat, and it can be said that he was not surprised by the scene in front of him, of course, don't look at this one so well-behaved now, if it were someone else, it is estimated that he would have been scratched out of a blood mark or two.
"Indeed." After Navis's reminder, Ronald did notice that something was wrong with the white cat, but he was not a doctor, so he naturally couldn't see anything wrong inside, of course, even if he came over, there must be no way, after all, doctors don't heal animals, and they are not veterinarians or anything, and there is no concept of veterinarians on this continent.
Time flies, it is more than a month in the blink of an eye, and winter is also destined to be the season of heavy snowfall, looking at the white snow in the courtyard, Ronald can only feel a chill constantly drilling into his body.
"I don't know when you'll get enough sleep." Looking down at the little thing curled up in his arms, Ronald sighed, since the last time, he can be said to have been paying attention to the state of the white cat, although even he himself does not know why he did this, maybe it is because of the white cat's dependence on him, or maybe it is a touch of luck in his heart.
That's right, from the moment he first saw the white cat, he had the illusion that this was the person, although he knew that this idea was ridiculous, but he couldn't stop this idea anyway, so he would keep the white cat, so he would allow it to act recklessly, otherwise it would be impossible to have a pet by virtue of his preferences, but ......
"Are you ready to leave me now?"
In fact, Ronald can feel the passage of the white cat's vitality, he can't tell what kind of feeling this is, but the bad heart is certain, after all, even if the person in his arms is not that person, but after such a long time together, it must be a lie to say that there is no emotion.
The white cat didn't make a sound, it only felt very tired now, and just wanted to sleep like this, of course, if it wasn't for the breath around it that could give it a sense of reassurance, it wouldn't have been able to do so.
Is comfort enough to make people forget everything?
The white cat struggled to squint an eye, and the darkness inside and outside the house only gave it the illusion that it would fall into the abyss at any time and place.
Maybe it's time for it to leave? But it always feels like it's forgotten something, what is it?
The white cat's eyes closed again, and at the same time, his consciousness fell into darkness, and the endless darkness only had the existence of a light not far away, as if it was the only exit. Cats like the sun, especially the habit of curling up in the sun to sleep, and the white cat naturally does the same, so it wants to go and see if the place behind the light is where it wants to go. It's just that before it could take a step, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of it, and then it didn't wait for it to react, and the shadow pulled away in vain, seeing that the white cat thought it was an illusion, of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was an illusion.
"Are you still confused?"
The voice was ethereal and nowhere to be found, and the white cat, which was already a little full of grass and trees, suddenly arched its body, and at the same time looked ahead vigilantly. It's not stupid, so naturally it can guess where the voice came from, and of course it can only come from there, after all, there is only one place on the scene that is abnormal.
"I know you're nostalgic for your present life, but do you remember your mission? Have you set a goal? ”
The black shadow gradually approached with the sound of footsteps of "da, da, da", but the white cat directly ignored all this, because at this time it was already at a loss because of the content of the sound.
Task? Target? What is that?
"That's it, I should have forgotten the way I looked at you, but it's a pity that ......"
What is a pity?
The words behind the black shadow were not spoken, and this made the white cat even more puzzled.
I always feel that I have forgotten something, is it related to that task or goal?
The white cat didn't know, but in his heart he vaguely felt that he was not wrong, after all, intuition is not only limited to humans, not to mention that the white cat is extraordinary, so it is not surprising that this is the case now.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer, but the voice did not appear again, and until this time, the white cat took the time to see the appearance of the black shadow: first of all, it was a human woman from the appearance, with long hair scattered behind it, but the face was not clear for some reason. Of course, even so, it can't be denied that the woman in front of him is beautiful, in fact, this is a very contradictory psychology as far as human beings are concerned, but cats don't care about these, after all, the worldview is different anyway, how can it ask for the same way of thinking about problems?
"Who are you? Meow!? I can talk!? The sudden sound startled the white cat, but it quickly reacted that it was its own voice, but it always felt familiar, as if it had heard it somewhere.
"Does that sound familiar?" The woman walked not far from the white cat and stopped, and this time the white cat also made sure that it was the person in front of him who spoke, but it was a little less ethereal than before, just like its ......
"My voice ......"
"Looks like you're reacting." The woman's voice sounded complicated, in fact, even she didn't know how to face this scene, saying that she had expected it but she didn't take precautions, but she didn't expect it, but she did calculate that something had changed.
"Who are you? Who am I? Why do we sound the same? ”
"Maybe you'll be more stunned next, but before that......" The woman didn't answer the white cat's question, but raised her hand to the white cat's forehead, and then a burst of white light shrouded it, and the white cat turned into a girl with silver hair, well, the naked kind.
"You should know who you are now, right?" From the initial dazedness in the eyes of the person before meeting to the last suddenness, the woman knew that the person in front of her had recovered her memory.
"Yes, I know, I know everything......" The girl looked up at the sky, and by this time the darkness around her had all dissipated, replaced by the singing of birds and flowers in the wild, "So, are you me?" ”
The girl looked at the woman in front of her, and now she could see the woman's appearance clearly, although there was a difference in temperament, but just by looking in the mirror-like face, she could already guess the matter.
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?" The girl frowned, a little puzzled.
"You'll be able to figure it out then, at least not yet." The woman smiled, but the girl was in a trance because of the smile: this one in front of her could never be herself.
The girl was so sure, because after recovering her memory, she knew that she would never be able to show such a temperament no matter what, but before the girl could ask her inner question again, the woman's voice sounded again: "When the time comes, you will know everything, and now is far from the time when you should know, so...... Go ahead, do everything you want to do while you still have time, or when the time comes, even if you want to do it, it will be too late......"
With the change of voice, the girl found herself farther and farther away from the ground, but even so, the girl could still see the gentle smile hanging on the corner of the woman's mouth, until the woman turned into light and disappeared, and the whole world fell into darkness again......
"Go, take your own ideas and do everything you want to do, Xiaoyueluo Evelina, I only hope that you will not come to this world in vain......"
