Chapter 11: It Was Not a Dream
It was late at night, the silver moon had risen to mid-heaven, and the dark moon had already set in the west.
The city of roses has dimmed, the bonfires that bring joy and delicious food have gradually been extinguished, and the insects in the grass on the top of the mountain have stopped the noise and the night has finally fallen silent.
The aroma of meat and wine still remains, lingering reluctantly above the faint bonfire, the song has drifted in the wind, leaving only the lingering sound still echoing in the ears, but the tearful laughter has always remained in the minds of the participants, becoming an indelible memory.
The song is over, and the people are gone.
Old friends came from all over the world in a hurry, just to send the most heartfelt blessings to their partners, just to leave the brightest smiles in the memories of their partners. I've laughed, cried, made trouble, got drunk, and it's time for each other to leave, tomorrow and tomorrow, and a new day.
So, clothed in the moonlight, the friends left one by one, and under the moonlight, the figures became smaller and smaller, leaving only a mess around the campfire, and the happy times that had been.
The song is not over, and the people are not dispersed.
Melodious music, bathed in the bright moonlight of the silver moon, resounded around the campfire on the top of the mountain.
Moria knelt on all fours, and gently played with the green leaves between her hands, just an ordinary leaf, but she played a gentle tune, like a melody from a dream against the cold moonlight.
In the middle of the music, someone hummed softly.
Shure leaned on Lin Jing, his head resting on Moria's soft deer body, holding an ale glass in one hand, and gently beating the beat to the music with the other, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and the tune humming from his nose, sounding lazy and casual.
Maybe it was the anesthesia of alcohol, Xiuer's calm and sharp eyes were full of confusion at this time, the forest spirit who had been pulling the grass for several days in a row should have just taken a bath, and the faint fragrance came out of the soft fur, lingering in Xiuer's nose, the fragrance was like nothing, just like the elusive smile of the forest spirit.
The smile was on Lin Jing's face, but it was a little less cunning and a little softer, her long green hair was draped behind her, and a few naughty strands of hair like herself brushed Xiu'er's cheeks, itchy, but indescribably comfortable.
A person and a deer, snuggling silently, under the moonlight, it is like a beautiful picture.
The music played by the leaves came to an abrupt end, and Moria's lower body did not move, but her upper body leaned out flexibly, and poured herself a full glass of ale, turned around and gently touched Shure's wine glass, took a few sips, raised her head and spit out a mouthful of wine.
"Wine is good wine. I was really reluctant to have a soft and comfortable pillow, Shuer's neck didn't even move, and he just lay down and put the ale into his mouth, fortunately he was not an ordinary person, otherwise he would inevitably be choked to death, "The party is also a good party, although you pulled Mia up, but in fact, it was your idea at first." ”
"Yo, yo", the clear deer chirp is as always, and the naughty deer chirp sounds warm in people's hearts at this time, "A wild deer can't make up ideas." ”
"Thank you. Xiu'er shook his head and rubbed Lin Jing's back, which was a disguised comfort, "It's not easy to secretly gather them all over without me." ”
"Hey, hey. The standard Lin Jing smirked, the short little tail wagged, like a hairball moving around, Moria threw the leaves aside, well, this side refers to Xiuer's face, "It's not easy, just be happy." ”
"Heh, I'm really happy. Shuer hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "However, there is no need to be so grand. ”
"Huh?"
"Actually, my mission is not as dangerous as you think. Shul squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Theoretically, I have a high chance of coming back alive, otherwise I wouldn't have insisted on going." ”
"How many theories have been successfully turned into reality, don't you feel weak in your heart?" asked Moria with a smile, "and...... You insist that you must go? This excuse is too unconvincing, so let's think about another one. ”
"No, it's not an excuse, you probably don't know, Mistress Kaeya once asked Judy to send me a message, and I also mentioned it directly to Mistress Luna, and I can cancel the mission at any time if necessary. Shure poured a large sip of ale, and his nerves, slightly anesthetized by the alcohol, gave him the illusion that everything was far away, and he closed his eyes and enjoyed the slight drunkenness, and said softly, "I can tell that it is not a polite statement, Lord Kaeya is serious." ”
"Hmm. Moria didn't answer, she knew it was just a nagging stimulated by alcohol.
"But I refused. Shul sighed softly, "I have to go." ”
"Why? Because you promised?"
"That's just one of the reasons. Shul shook his head, the soft deer hair brush on the back of his neck, itching very comfortably, "I haven't elaborated with anyone, a dream I once had. ”
"Oh?"
"I don't want to repeat the details. Shuer seemed to have returned to the original dream, the flames of war, the fallen gods, the tears of the maiden, the fallen soldiers, the world on the verge of extinction, the completely destroyed hope, everything was so desperate, but what was even more desperate was the sword and arrow that pierced him, for Shuer, that was the real despair, "It was not a pleasant dream." ”
"You mentioned it to your mother. Moria's half-turned, her soft palm gently brushing Shure's hair, like a mother soothing a child awakened from a nightmare, "You also said that you would never want to see a dream come true. ”
"Well, I did tell her. Shul nodded, "I used to think that it was just a dream, and it was my suspicion that made it a dream. ”
"Isn't that so?"
"No, absolutely not. Shuer denied without hesitation, "I found out the problem a year ago, it was not an ordinary dream, it was probably a possibility in the future, but for some reason, I saw a fragment." ”
"Luna-sama......"
"No, it's not her, I asked, and if she showed it to me, she wouldn't hide it, because she knew what I was dreaming about, and she knew that concealing such a thing would seriously interfere with my judgment. Shul frowned, confused again, but soon returned to normal.
"Well, maybe you're right. Moria didn't insist, and wagged her tail very casually, "But why do you think it's a future fragment and not a dream?"
"Because something appeared in the dream that I shouldn't know. Shuer's voice became low, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously, "At that time, you ...... I mean, I heard a word, heh, a ritual. ”
"Huh?"
"A ceremony on a very grand scale. ”
