Chapter 288: True

Beds lying on a large soft and comfortable bed always make people forget the passage of time, at least for Lily.

The girl lay on her back on her back and looked at the high dark ceiling, and the walls were carved with all sorts of intricate patterns and some peculiar runes, all decorated to the liking of the castle's owner.

She narrowed her eyes, as usual, and began to make out the runes with difficulty, remembering the runes that belonged to Lord Kate, and reading them softly.

This is already a very big improvement, compared to the confusion of these runes when I first came here, it is very rare to be able to identify and remember these runes in just a few days, or ten days, without anyone specially teaching.

She didn't tell anyone about it.

The décor here always makes people feel a little lonely, although Ying Lan often comes to visit her, continues to teach runes, completes unfinished schoolwork in the castle, and often takes her outside the castle to admire the strange city built on the top of this craggy mountain, takes her to the tavern to listen to stories, listens to the bards play and sing softly on the lute, and sees her with that very charming smile- Lily always felt that Ying Lan's smile was very beautiful, although she was very envious, but she couldn't learn it, seeing her smile and refuse other people's invitations to drink and dance, and then take her hand and look out at the edge of the street, she followed her, waiting for the wind to blow regularly from the sky, bringing a faint fragrance from Ying Lan's side, and the hair fluttering in the wind.

In the distance, balls of light hung in the sky, followed by mountains and colorful ground, supposedly because there was also a city there.

Maybe she never imagined in her life that she would stand on the top of a mountain and look down, as far as the eye can see, there is no black fog, there are no monsters, and there are only people who come and go on the streets with warm smiles and praise her lovely kindness—

It's so unreal. She seemed to have spent a long and false good time in a trance.

She looked at the ceiling, the muttering on her lips blurred her vision, and it seemed that in an instant, she was back in the castle that was walking in endless darkness, the stars were shining on the ceiling, and she was sad and anxious at that time, the fear of the unknown future and the pain of losing her loved ones, although she always told herself to be strong, but she would still hide herself in the bed and secretly cry when she was alone.

The scene changed abruptly, and she seemed to wake up at home again, a lone lantern hanging from the bare wooden ceiling, and the light of the jumping fire was particularly fragile.

Happy times are always short-lived, and at that time, she seems to have become depressed since she became sensible. Parents often go out, repeatedly admonishing themselves not to touch the terrible black fog, not to leave the area shrouded in firelight, to be sure to carry lanterns with them, how to hide in the face of possible accidents, how to dodge. and the death of his closest sister in the "trial".

But that seems to be the most real.

It seemed that in the next trance, she would return to the city of flames that was forever shrouded in black fog, and she would walk with Lynch, with lanterns and a little fear, walking through the streets shrouded in black fog, vigilant for anything that might come out of the darkness.

Then, after all the dangers, she would go back to the house, where she would sit and wait for her father and mother, laughing and caring, and the mother would prepare the food, and then the father would ask her if the little boy named Lynch had done anything that made her blush.

Maybe one day she will pick up a little child named Polysius on the street, and she will help him, take him in, and then work with Lynch to protect him from the Black Mist.

The cold hilt of the sword at hand spurred her back to reality.

Lily sat up straight from the bed, clenched her sword in her hand, stepped out of the bed, picked up the robe that hung beside the bed, and tidied up the bed—the owner of the castle provided her with a variety of gorgeous dresses, but in the end she chose a gray robe, which was actually funny to wear.

The sound of her leather shoes on the floor was particularly crisp, and Lily combed her hair in the mirror, then straightened her gray turtleneck shirt, carefully buttoned it, and tugged at the dark tights that fit her legs. Although this body is very good-looking, it is still a little unaccustomed.

Then she sat down on the couch and looked again at the broken sword, which she didn't know how many times she had seen, the wide hilt was extremely incongruous with the small blade, and the scratches on it also witnessed the vicissitudes of the sword, Lily's hands were too small to hold the hilt with two hands, so the sword might not be practical for her.

There was an inexplicable aura wrapped around the sword, but she still couldn't fathom it.

Normally, Lily would carry the sword behind her back, which would seem redundant and inconvenient for her to move around.

This room is big enough, but because the owner likes to be quiet, there are very few people in this castle, basically only a few people, a few days ago Ying Lan and Kate left because of "something" and didn't bring themselves, so now she is the only one left here, and there is an old housekeeper of Longzhong.

Suddenly, distant footsteps sounded, one relatively slow, the other a little hurried.

Lily's heart skipped a beat, and she gave up looking at her weapon and calmed down to hear the footsteps coming from afar.

"Are we looking for that one in so many rooms, do we still have to knock on the door one by one?" Lynch's voice said helplessly: "Let you be in such a hurry, can't you ask first and then come over?"

"Shut up!" another crisp and beautiful child's voice responded angrily: "You hurry up and find it!"

"Tsk......"

Lily took a deep breath as she walked briskly to the door, pushed it open, and looked over the hallway.

"Oh!" first came the child's crisp cry, and Lily watched her cheer and ran towards her, and then a flutter threw herself into her arms: "Lily!"

Lily subconsciously hugged her reluctantly, and then watched the child smile in her arms, she looked at the excitement on this angelic little face, and laughed unconsciously, the child's crescent-like curved eyes made her familiar, and then she found that she recognized her: "Perrisius?"

Perlicius pouted, "I've changed my name! Now it's Vidlow! Lily, you have to remember!"

A question mark appeared in Lily's mind, but she didn't ask it, just took one of her free hands and gently pinched the child's face, just like someone else had done to her.

"Alright, our side should have come to a successful conclusion," Lynch walked over, looked at the girl who seemed to have been seen for a long time, and felt a little sorry for the girl in his heart, he pulled Vidlow off Lily's body, ignoring little Lori's protests: "How are you here?
