Chapter 63: Dreaming

Gwen massages her melted buttocks.

Surya has proven that the scales' resistance has a strange flaw, and that is that its magic is best able to resist spontaneous bursts of energy, but it does not perform well in the case of gradual changes in temperature.

Frightened, Gwen quickly got up from her chair and let out a tearing roar. The embarrassment made her feel ashamed, but she could barely scold her female doctor now for giving her such an incredible gift.

At one point, her grandfather was having a good time, and Sulya also advised her to abandon the iconic look of the floating IOU stone. Instead, she will "implant" the scales on her skin. Surya explains that if she wants to avoid unnecessary attention, she needs to be subtle.

Lifting her hair, her doctor placed the "Al Ain scale" at the base of her neck, below the hairline. In a word, Surya taps Luke's warmth scale to her skin, and it will remain on her skin until she is willing to release it.

Surya explained that as a passive effect, this ratio would be constantly drained from the surrounding mana diffused by her body. That's why mages have a limited number of "slot" passive items. Too much coordination means that the caster weakens their mana pool.

After the surgery, Gwen returned to her friend. In her absence, her classmates lodging on the long balcony, bathing in the fiery sunset, lit up the infinite pond.

"It's beautiful here," Elvia exclaimed as Gwen approached, and I've never seen anything like it before. ”

"I've never seen anything like it. Yue pouted. Unlike the other two, she is an ordinary girl with a middle-class father. They live in a house overlooking a narrow street. Gwen recalled that Xiao Yue's bedroom looked directly into the neighbor's bedroom.

She pulled up a chair and joined them.

"What's the plan?" Yue asked.

"Okay. "Gwen enjoying the breeze, we'll get you both dressed tomorrow. Then we can rent a few horses. I know somebody, Tommy, and he's a top guy. There's a lot to do here. We could hunt, barbecue, or visit local landmarks. We could even camp outside for one night and enjoy the starry sky. ”

"Sounds fantastic," Elvia muttered.

"I'm here," Yue agreed.

The girls were satisfied, and began to take a bath and get ready for bed. Gwen returned to her bedroom, thinking about the sunset and the days ahead, dreaming of tomorrow.

"Kalinda!" someone shouted in her ear.

Gwen straightened up, supporting herself on her elbows.

Just not in her bed.

Instead, she lay comfortably on a straw mat spread on powdery clay. In the distance, the shimmer of the setting sun casts an orange mist on the ochre-colored horizon.

Impossible, Gwen thought to herself. Isn't this another reincarnation?

Next to her, old Tejupura pinched her arm, pursed her lips, and pointed to a towering maroon thing. Compared to herself, the withered Mamunk is the worn bones of the skin, held together by dry bones. The skin of the Spiritwalker is traditionally scarred, as well as mottled markings.

Above her head, a huge landmark looms, too famous to be recognized.

Is it Uluru? Gwen exclaimed. She had never seen the stone in real life before. The matter had been on her bucket list, but work stepped in.

Following Tejuprullah's fingers, her eyes fixed on the cloudless sky above the epic monument of nature.

"Kapi!" the spirit walker clapped vigorously.

Thunder rumbled, followed by a downpour.

Rain fell from the sky, buckets and buckets, a solid wall of water, falling from the sky without clouds.

Where does the water come from? Gwen marveled.

Tejupurula moved closer. His skin was as black as obsidian and smooth as an eel.

Gwen looked down and saw a pair of caramel-colored breasts protruding outward. It is worth noting that she is not ashamed. Why is she like this? Is it not that men and women come to the earth naked and trembling, and leave naked and trembling in the same way?

"Rainbow - Rainbow comes from Earth and comes back here. Gwen heard herself talking, but her voice was strange. It was a woman's voice, but not her own. "Grandpa, I see. ”

"Yes. "Almudegi is such a brazen man. Old Tejuprullah bared his mouth full of yellow teeth. "It lives in Uluru and has a long beard and sharp teeth. It doesn't need a man or a woman. It dreams and does not need a ritual. ”

"Will the snake wake up hungry, will it eat us?" Gwen asked innocently when she heard herself. Her question made Juprullah laugh.

"Oh, snakes are dangerous when they're grumpy. The land dried, and the pine people drank the earth. When it's hungry, we have Kutanguru and nothing!"

Gwen felt the cloudless cold water soak her skin, washing away the dust and dirt. As the water flowed from her hair, she could almost feel the seeds buried deep in the ground erupt violently, breaking through the surface and gasping for air.

She opened her mouth and filled it with water.

She swallowed, quenching her thirst.

Juprulla grinned and looked at her.

That's why Binnturby was able to calm down. Not like those usurpers. This snake is really cheeky, yes. It attacks intruders. It will return their bodies to their ancestors. All of them. It's all over the place!"

Suddenly, there was a tremor. The ground began to move. From the top of Uluru, she could see a huge shape sliding inside the stone, winding its way.

"In the early days, when the Iriti people first carried the song, they took it all over the country from stalkers and hunters. They carried it on their backs during the drought, traveled through an arid country, and traveled at night. I've met once, Kalinda. I'm a young lad and my eyes are bright. ”

"Bintubi comes from the old countryside and walks towards the rocks. Follow the tracks. Follow the trail left by the snake. Quietly, watching, watching, coming to this place. Go to your mother's house. Someone's coming. We had a lot of people at that time. ”

Juprullah's gaze was glazed with a nostalgic look.

"Mother, father, children. They came to sing to the serpent. From Putadi, Kundan, from Kali Kalu, from Tamarama, from Wampalaku. They're coming. From the south. from the north. From the East. From the West. They share their meat, their eels. I shared my kung fu. No bloodshed, no hatred. When we go a long way, there is no argument. No eyes. ”

"In Uluru, with our special songs. Bounce song, we sing to the serpent. We can remind snakes of when the world was young. It was a friend. Before the usurper came, all the people sang this song. ”

Thunder rumbled across the sky.

"Kapi, Kapi, Kapi!" Juprullah began. "Come on, Ngak!"

The old UU's hand gestured in the air. Around them, Gwen saw thousands of people gathering, singing, dancing, and partying.

Gwen laughed and got up from the ground. The pouring rain washed the mud off her body. She joins the dance, hundreds of bodies in motion, moving circle after circle, bare feet snapping on the flowing earth.

Crack! An earth-shattering explosion was heard. From the top of Uluru, the snake began to move, moving towards them, getting closer and closer.

The ground shook again. Something else began to pour out from the top of the rock. And the water gushed out of the stones, and poured out the form of blood, and shook the earth, and filled it with life. Gwen cried because this is the birthplace of every river in the world.

Her world turned bright red. Everywhere the red liquid touches, the land itself is changing rapidly – weeds and wildflowers sprout violently, erupting from the earth in a vigorous eruption. A verdant rainbow appeared in the land of death where there was only sand and dust.

"Kapi, Kapi, Kapi!"

The singing continued, and hordes of corpses formed an endless spiral around Uluru.

"Kapi, Kapi, Kapi!"

Gwen turned her gaze upwards and saw the snake's twinkling eyes looking at her curiously.

"Almuji has seen you, Kalinda!" the old Peeyan patted him on the thigh. "Talk to it, girl!

Dependents?

The snake's voice drowned her heart, drowning Gwen in the raging white water.

Gwen forced her to open her eyes.

Carefully, a hand moved towards the back of her head, stroking the scales of the snake around her neck.

Gwen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Her dream didn't feel like an astral projection, nor did it feel like an out-of-body experience. Rather, it's a vicarious sense of immersion. She felt as if she had been there, as if she were the woman who spoke to the ancient soul walker Tejuprullah.

Of course, her Tjupurrura never mentions anything about the scale of bringing decrees from the earth gods, so what should her vision be?

It was already morning outside.

The cacophony of women arguing could be heard in the hallway.

Since these voices were familiar, Gwen tried to find out the source of the trouble. There was no doubt that the loud and piercing screams were Yue. The other is rude and imperious. Dobora Tjupurrura Gwen realized. Deborah is back.

She hurriedly put on a shirt and shorts and walked out of the room.

Outside, Elvia, dressed in white, is trying to play the peacemaker.

Xiao Yue leaned against the railing of the balcony with a sullen face, crossed her arms, and raised it angrily.

Deborah stood on the other side, hands on her hips, furious.

There is static electricity in the air.

"Good morning......

All three pairs of eyes will come together.

Gwen sensed worse was yet to come. For some reason, she felt like a cheating husband who had put her mistress and family on leave.

"Hey, Gwynnie, I'm back. "Deborah's voice maintains a suggestive, hoarse candor, do you miss me?"

Yue and Avia's gazes looked directly at Gwen.

"I didn't know you were coming back so soon," Gwen replied, realizing how Christmas was going to be when she sounded like a guilty housewife?

"Received my blessing from the archbishop and ate some candied ham at home. Deborah pouted and said come back and see how you were doing. ”

"Fuβ€”" Yue began.

"You know what?" Gwen interrupted before things escalated further. "Let's go horseback riding together!

Fuck the ducks. Gwen groaned.

She completely forgot that only she and Deborah had horses on the estate.

Due to her inconsiderate plans for the party, the four are now trapped in Tess's car, on the way to McGuigan's estate. A confused Rhodes is informed of their arrival, and he sends Tommy to make sure all the girls are saddled and sorted.

Merck's atmosphere is already suffocating. Gwen sat in the passenger seat, while Avia sat in the middle, sandwiched between a Yue and a Deborah.

After ten minutes of silence, Gwen could no longer bear the silence.

"Listen, nothing happened between Debbie and me. We're just fooling around. ”

Deborah looked hurt. Xiao Yue was about to break a washer.

"Well, that's a terrible wording. Deborah and I are partners......"

Deborah looked happy. Yue looked hurt.

β€”at a party. Damn it. We're working in a strictly professional capacity, okay?"

"But...... How's that?" Deborah held up a hand.

"Debbie, help me out!" Gwen snapped.

"Okay, okay. Deborah held up her hands. She turned to look at Yue, who looked at her suspiciously. "Gwen and I share some intimate memories that none of you know. ”

"Deborah Jones!" Gwen's patience ran out. She completely forgot how obnoxious Deborah's possessiveness and stubbornness were.

"Uh-huh!" even the angelic Elvia felt insulted. Deborah's body language does not indicate that her interest in Gwen is platonic.

"You will, little slut. "Yue didn't bring any prisoners.

"Hey, you guys, do you want me to crash the car into a tree?" Tess endured an hour of pain, and asked gloomily if my tin was okay. But it will quickly free you from your painful position. ”

"Thank you, Tess. "It's so morbid. Gwen sighed, okay, guys. No more until we get to the horse farm. Otherwise, I swear to God, I'll turn the car around!"

"Boss!" Tommy leaped off his horse, bowing as he kicked up an impressive puff of dust. His eyes scanned the girls. "Oh my God! Is Madame Mage always so pretty?! I must be dead and go to heaven!"

No one answered him, and Tommy was stunned by the silence. What happened? His sycophancy rarely fell on deaf ears.

"Hi Tommy, we need to lend you and four horses, can you help my friends, Elvia and Yue, pick a few docile mares?" Gwen's voice looked solemn and defeated, which scared Tommy. "We're going to look at the stars too, and if you can pack the horses and go camping, that's great. ”

"Sure, but you're alright, hostess, you don't sound comfortable and unhappy. How can Tommy help?" Tommy suggested thoughtfully, the landlady seemed expensive.

"I'm fine, Tommy. Now please pay attention. ”

Gwen walked alone to the paddock where the horses roamed, leaving Tommy busy with supplies, wondering if the weather had suddenly gotten worse.

"Uh-huh!" Avia had always been a mother, but she couldn't stand Gwen being unhappy for a minute anymore!

The two girls looked at the doctor and her blurred eyes.

"Yes, ma'am," Yue replied in a dejected voice.

"I'm sorry, Elvia," Deborah replied earnestly, and Xiao Yue and I were just friends. Frankly. ”

"I'm sorry too. I'm a bitch. ”

The girls went to find their friends.

"I'm sorry!" the troublemaker apologized. Make a supplication bow, which is a sign of a junior mage bowing to his superiors. "Please don't get upset. ”

Gwen turned, her piercing emerald eyes red and swollen.

"I'm fine. Gwen rubbed her eyes and promised me that you two wouldn't fight again for stupid reasons. ”

"I promise. Deborah prayed in her heart.

"Me too," Mr. Yue added stiffly.

"Okay. Now is a good time. "OPA will be joining our 5-5 team," added Yue Deborah and I hope we all work together and win. You know how much I need this. and how much we all need to win to advance our future careers. ”

"I'm not going to argue with you," Yue raised his hands. Then she stretched out a hand to Debord. The two trembled, though reluctantly.

"Alright!" Gwen smiled, happiness shining on her face once more. "Go and pick up your horses. I need to wash my face. It's embarrassing to see yourself like this. ”

Gwen watched her friends leave, and her friends breathed a sigh of relief, a mysterious smile on their lips.

"Hehe, you ducklings are still too tender for an old bird like me. ”

Gwen winced, rinsing her eyes with water. Eat too much with half an onion. In hindsight, only a fraction of the people were up to the job.
