"It's beautiful!"

The countess expressed her surprise in the exaggerated tone that young mothers used to encourage their ignorant children, and unsurprisingly satisfied the twins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is what we helped do!"

The girl rushed to the airship and shouted at it: "Open the door!"

Then the side of the white boat stretched out of a gangway and landed at the girl's feet.

She ran to the deck and stood on the side of the ship, jumping and waving to the countess and Magellan: "Come on!"

The boy laughed and ran, he lifted Miss Betty high, rushed to the deck, stood beside the girl and jumped together, and then put the kitten's face in front of him in bewilderment: "What a day to talk about......"

The countess smiled and walked up to the deck, stood between the white sails, and took off her wide-brimmed hat: "It's beautiful. ”

"What is this ship called?"

"The Swan!"

"That's a nice sound!" the countess smiled and stroked the girl's head, then turned to face the huge iron door. "Let's go. ”

The hissing of steam rushing through the cracks in the pipes began, then the massive crash of steel approached, and finally the dull thud of the heavy iron doors as they began to move. Right in front of Magellan, the whole hall began to move, the sound of gear clashing came from all sides, and a wall opened from it to reveal a large door, while at the same time a dozen skylights opened on the roof of the hall.

"Let's go!"

The twins laughed and ran to the side of the ship, waiting for the moment when the airship would take off.

Then a current of air appeared out of thin air, puffed up the sails, and blew the countess's long hair.

The levitating airship began to rise slowly, and then floated out towards the gate.

The Swan flew through the dark steel gates with graceful silence and out of the towers of the Academy of Magic, swirling in the wind, the spires of the academy and the monsters on the roofs passing by the side of the ship, eliciting a wave of amazement from the twins.

The countess turned and walked into the captain's room, and Magellan followed, leaving the elated twins on deck.

"I don't know if you've ever been on an airship when you didn't know where you were going. ”

The captain's room was a small room, but clean and exquisite, and the countess sat at the table, which took up most of the room, and took a bottle of liquid with a dreamy clear blue from the shelf at hand, and poured it into two goblets.

"If you don't drink, that's going to take a lot of fun out of life. ”

Magellan took a glass and put it to his lips, and a clear and elegant aroma swept through his brain: "Is this wine?"

"No, I got the juice from the goblins in the lake. The countess shook the glass gracefully, letting that distinctive aroma spread through the room.

"It's true that I've never been on an airship when I didn't know where I was going. Magellan took a sip of the liquid from the glass, and the world turned upside down in an instant.

"In ancient times, almost all the transcendents of the world believed that illusions brought them closer to the essence of the world, and the memory of the sun god Emenkai reminds me of this legend. ”

Before Magellan's eyes, the countess turned into a huge diamond, and the intricate tens of thousands of facets shimmered with brilliant flames, which danced with her voice, illuminating the colorful darkness.

The whole world was like a cave with countless treasures buried, except that the greatest treasure was in front of him, Magellan looked around, there were shining gems everywhere, and above his head was a crumbling sea, on which large shadows floated.

"No one will ever get knowledge from hallucinogens. ”

Magellan frowned, then woke up from this fairytale scene.

"And how do you explain the memories of the sun god?" the countess did not touch the liquid in the cup, she was completely unaffected by the hallucination.

It was an allegory, a symbol, and that might be what the gods saw with their eyes. ”

"You...... Why haven't you told me for so long?"

This was the first time Magellan had heard the countess accuse someone.

"I don't know if that's correct, but now your conjecture is in the same direction. ”

"And I'm just standing at the beginning, you've reached the end. The countess shook the liquid in the cup, and the blue changed into a myriad of brilliant colors, and although it was all blue, it felt very different, and she placed the cup on the shelf as if it were a witch's crystal ball, with a whole world in it.

"There is a kingdom whose inhabitants are cursed by powerful magic, and they will involuntarily forget the number three, and they will skip it when they count to three, and the same is true when they do addition, but not when they do multiplication. The mathematicians of the kingdom soon became aware of the number three, which they called magical, and soon became accustomed to it. ”

Blue swayed in the pure white room, illuminating Magellan's eyes.

Until one day, a man from outside the kingdom broke in, and he soon discovered the number three that had disappeared, and although mathematicians described this phenomenon objectively and exhaustively, everyone was accustomed to it, it was never acceptable to outsiders. It took him a long time, through a lot of dangers, to find a witch and wonder why. ”

The witch showed him her crystal ball. At first, there was only pure gold, then a bit of black suddenly appeared, and finally the whole crystal ball turned into an earthy yellow. The outsider asked the witch what this meant, and the witch told him that the crystal ball represented the kingdom, represented its isolation, gold represented its original appearance, and black represented the change of the outside, that is, the disappearance of the number three, and the final earthy yellow represented the current kingdom, and no one would think that the disappearance of the number was anything strange, everyone had accepted it and took it for granted. ”

Magellan's story came to an abrupt end, and the countess let out a sigh: "So my speculation is another dead end at the end...... But your story is interesting. ”

Magellan didn't say anything more.

"Comfort me, Magellan. ”

"You are the only one in the world who recognizes the existence of this thing, a thing that determines the way the whole world exists, and all the difficulties you encounter are taken for granted, and by no means meaningless. ”

"That's not much comfort. The countess shook her head, then fell silent for a moment, "No one asked me to delay you. ”

"I know. ”

Magellan didn't know what to say, he knew that the countess could always guess what he thought.

"No one doesn't want to see a new world, whether they want to conquer more lands or just want to see something they haven't seen, you've done everything you can. ”
