Chapter 31: Awakening
Olwes felt her consciousness sink into the unfathomable sea again, the previous time was in Orman's palace, when the ocean of the healer Elsa gently wrapped her, but now the ocean was pushing her fiercely, the salty sea water poured from her mouth and nose and rushed straight into her lungs, stinging, swelling and suffocating together, with the greatest malice to strangle her in the darkness of the deep sea.
Scattered in the ocean like the ashes of a whale, as helpless as she was, as naked as her soul, as if she were about to fall straight into the ruins.
The endless void reflected her bright blue eyes, and such time seemed endless, until the teacher's kind voice suddenly sounded dreamily and softly in her ears, "Olves, why are you so obsessed with the night sky?"
She woke up with a violent cough, stood up, sat up from the floor to be precise, thumped her full chest or pinched her long throat under the gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and finally vomited out a pile of half-rotten food mixed with stomach acid without any image.
There is no doubt that the pile of soup poured into her by the maid of Lord Cosimo's house passed through the carriage, and the cause of her nightmare.
Olwes glanced at Reagan and Virgil, who were twisted together, and the dozen or so unfathomable but tense magicians behind them, the space magic did not tear apart her body, but the location of the teleportation and the timing of waking up were not good.
Although she didn't understand why she didn't have the injuries on her body that had been pierced by ice crystals, she was grateful for the touching aftermath of the catastrophe, and she put her hand behind her back and gently stroked the amethyst ring that she still had on her finger, thinking that it would be right to pay for her life when the time was right.
The whole secret room was silent, everyone's shocked eyes were focused on her, and Olwes also covered her chest in shock, since it wasn't a robbery, was this a secret club that any man would understand, and they almost fought for themselves.
Olwes took a few steps back slightly, judging from the experience of her previous life, pretending to be weak and pitiful or stoic and strong at the moment would satisfy the tastes of some people, and she suddenly didn't know how to manage her expression.
Old Magician Reagan was the first to come to his senses, shed tears of emotion, and shouted, "Go and ask His Majesty Constantine!
"No need to please. The young emperor had his own attendants to help him push open the door, "I have been outside all along, and I have seen everything!"
Constantine's sudden appearance was like a thunderbolt in the day, and the faces of the old magicians and the court magicians turned pale at once, and some of them were even more incontinent on the spot, and the crisp sound of knees trembling on the floor was messy and untidy, like the last low, faint gasps of those who had been skinned for treason, like bellows.
Reagan seemed to feel that time had flown by, and everything had turned into a pale hue and shattered, and he pressed his face to the ground, not daring to look at the expression of his daughter, Queen Belle.
"You have seen with your own eyes the fact that you are entangled with many court mages in a sacred place like the church, and you are trying to beat up the deputy head of the Royal Knights Fergil, and now you are being stripped of your status as the chief magician of the court, and you are a disciple to repent in the royal prison for a year and reflect on your morality, do you have anything to say?"
Reagan could hardly believe his ears, and looked up in shock, he had thought that His Majesty was going to put him to death, but now he was giving him room for forgiveness in disguise.
Lionel's indifferent gaze mixed with evil anger made him sweat soak through his back clothes, and he realized that His Majesty was only thinking about Belil's feelings, if it weren't for his daughter, his life and death might not be as important as an ant.
"Weichen, there is nothing to say. Tears rolled down to the ground with fear, and the old man's throat made a whimpering sound, and perhaps only now did he understand his incompetence and weakness, and why he had parted ways with his former companions.
"That's good. Konstantin patted Reagan lightly on the shoulder, he never thought that such an old man could make any big waves, although Reagan had the strength of a magister, but this world was indeed just like his father told him, it was an eagle, a dog, a mountain, and a sea, and it was clearly distinguished.
"Say anything, I hate it when people whisper in my heart, even though I know almost everything. ”
"I see, Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Constantine looked at the girl who was cowering in the corner vigilantly, and couldn't help but smile, it must be said that today's forgiveness of Belile is also related to the haze that has been shrouded in his heart for a long time in the past year has been blown away.
"Did you wake her up? Reagan. ”
"I don't know, Your Majesty, I've only cast a blessing spell on her, and she should have woken up on her own. ”
Constantine gestured, and Lionel leaped over and grabbed Olvis, interrupting her chanting, and Olwes was annoyed and relieved by Lionel to walk towards Constantine, muttering and scolding, "If the glass wand is still there, it will be your turn to catch me, the Raj knight." ”
Lionel's ears twitched, and he could hear Olves's soft words clearly, but thinking that she had indirectly saved the life of his friend and subordinate Virgil, the knight smiled generously and threw her in front of Constantine, warning her not to make a small move.
"Where is this?", Olwes glanced around, the confined environment and powerful retinue made her a little calm, coupled with the previous farce, she was already vaguely aware of the identity of the person in front of her, so she had to pretend to be confused.
"The Church of Tiforni in the district of Sile, the imperial capital. The Emperor replied simply, but he clearly did not have the patience to answer a girl's many questions, "How did you wake up, and do you remember what happened before?"
Olwes could feel drops of sweat oozing from her back, and it was clear that the answer would determine her life or death in the Titan Empire, but she had no idea what he wanted to know or how to answer.
Fortunately, the age at which she was most troubled had become her shield, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old would not have a clear understanding, and she described the feeling of being immersed in the deep sea, and watched Constantine and Reagan pondering there with some extraordinary laughter in her heart.
It has to be said that Lord Cosimo's maid made a terrific dinner.
Perhaps consciously holding the initiative in his hands, Emperor Constantine was no longer in a hurry to go into the mountains to kill the tiger, and once again entrusted Reagan with the more impossible task of breaking the curse, and he was anxious to return to the palace to deal with the official affairs that had recently suddenly piled up in the Duchy of Laura.
If it weren't for the fact that this mustard disease was too bad, he wouldn't have focused too much on this group of illegal citizens hiding in the Titan Empire.
"What's your name?" Reagan looked at the girl like a lifesaver.
"Virginia. ”
Reagan looked at his disciples, this group of court magicians shook their heads in doubt, magicians have been ostracized by the upper circles of the Titan Empire for a long time, and it is natural that the name of a noble girl is completely unclear.
It's just that such a beautiful girl doesn't know anything about it, and they don't like to move around a little.
"It's okay and I'm leaving. Olwes watched Lionel and Konstantin go away, and breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to live in the imperial capital of the Titan Empire, the old enemy of the Otan Empire.
"No, you can't go!", Reagan stopped in front of Olvis, and suddenly he touched her shoulder in some surprise, only to see the figure standing in front of him shatter like a mirror image, turning into a splash and flowing on the ground, "Magister-level water mirror?"
He hurriedly looked back, only to catch a glimpse of the corner of Olves' cloak disappearing at the end of the hallway, and the magicians scurried around the church like plucked ducks looking for her traces, only to drown in the crowd outside the secret room.
Olwes ran out of the church, taking out a cloak to cover her long hair, she looked at the porcelain crystal bottle given to her by her teacher with some distress, the only little Tessis's magic spring in it had dried up, but she could only organize her mood and run out of the city.
The city of Barsalomu is quaint but not rudimentary, in fact it is quite complicated, Olweis had only visited once four years ago, but even four years ago she had passed through the inner and outer cities in a carriage to the palace.
The noise around her and the gaze of passers-by made her feel strange and uncomfortable, and even when she asked the vendors for directions, the spiraling network of urban staircases and the system of fountains and cisterns were enough to stir her up as an outsider.
As night fell, she could not escape from the city of Barsaromu, even with the cost of precious magic items, but could only sit on the cobblestone next to the fountain, and heard the creaking of the heavy gate being hoisted by iron cables in the distance.
She was inexplicably a little depressed.
She looked up, and the night sky of this world was still as clear and bright as ever, unlike the distant and light-year galaxies of her previous life, and she sometimes really wanted to believe that there were gods living on this starry sky, as if she had never felt that it was an accident that she had come into this world in such a way.
Lucia, Mia, Yulai, Tien, Marcas, and Anka, are they okay? And Novka, Peterson, Helos, Frederick, and Jarfred, they might be doing well!
Olwes wrapped her cloak in the cold breeze of early spring and quietly walked into the warm inn, neither in her past life nor in the present, she did not like to be alone.
