Chapter 7: Dream Fairy Tales
(Special note: It is recommended to watch the music video of Coldplay's Strawberry Swing song after reading these two chapters, or read it while watching.) )
A kind of music completely different from the Nair continent sounded in everyone's ears, and at the same time, the side of the raised edge of the ceremonial platform lit up and down two lines of words composed of colored powder, the words on the top are probably the ancient Lan language that everyone has learned, and the bottom is the official Serqi language of the Serqi country, but it is deliberately written crookedly, as if it was written by a child who has just learned to write, but it is neat. (Note: Seqi is not a Chinese character, I write Chinese characters because I don't know Seqi either, hehe)

Strawberry Swing – Coldplay (Singing)
The words that appeared made everyone a little confused, and they knew that strawberry was a fruit that children loved to eat. As we all know, the swing is a kind of toy that everyone played with when they were young. As a singer, you have never heard of Coldplay, and someone has given their group such a name, and you know that it is enough to make a lot of noise when you hear it.
However, the plucked prelude of this tune gives people a refreshing feeling, like a bouncing child, jumping around you, giving people a lively and lovely feeling, which is really a bit extraordinary in the solemn and elegant musical atmosphere that is popular now.
As the tune progressed, everyone found that there was a drum sound that would normally be used by orcs in this tune, and it was extremely harmonious. But this kind of music is still very beautiful, and many girls who like it have summoned echo flowers and started recording.
As the tune progresses, a large amount of colored powder wafts up to form a very different style, and Ciri begins his performance.
This is supposed to be the second floor of a house, the room is not big, only one bed is placed. On the wall is a portrait of Ciri made of colored powder. Ciri was floating in mid-air, sleeping on a bed made of powder, and there were several symbols on top of her head that could be seen at a glance to indicate sleep in a crooked stack. The whole atmosphere is like a dream that everyone had when they were kids.
Then, a sun suddenly appeared outside the window in the picture. Well, this guy can only be considered a little sun, because he has a childish face, and is peeking boredly through the window to see Ciri sleep.
Then he sat up, rubbed his eyes, stretched wide, and yawned a slightly exaggerated wn. Then I walked slowly down the stairs. However, everyone noticed that Ciri himself was not moving, just repeating the action of walking, and it was the whole picture that was moving, but it gave people the illusion that Ciri was moving and walking downstairs.
When Ciri went downstairs, he sat down on a chair, picked up the cutlery, forked a whole big fish from the plate, and then raised his head with his mouth wide open, and threw the whole big fish high in the air, and when the fish fell, he swallowed the big fish in his stomach.
Looking at Xi Rui's very exaggerated acting skills, many girls couldn't help laughing. Xirui doesn't usually find out, but it's really a spoof, how can anyone eat fish like this, and it's too fake to swallow such a big fish in one bite, and he's not afraid of being stuck by the fish.
After Ciri finished eating the fish, outside the window, except for the little sun with squinted eyes and a simple smile, the words "Help me!" floated in like a cloud, and Ciri also excitedly knocked over the chair and stood up, looking out with his hands folded.
Then Ciri took out a viewing mirror (telescope) out of nowhere, and the colored powder directly outlined the perspective of the observation mirror in the room, and Kayla appeared with a confused face and "tied". Outside the window, the naughty little sun also looked at this picture with the same anxious face as Ciri.
they were sitting
(They used to sit)
A low, slightly nasal singing voice suddenly remembered that in everyone's ears, without using any spells, it brought everyone's thoughts into this illusory and dreamlike story. At this time, the basic framework of the story is almost known to everyone, and it should be the story of the hero rescuing the princess that they loved to hear and dreamed of most often when they were children. But this expression of fairy tale dreams has pulled everyone back to their childhood dreams from the age when they no longer had such fantasies.
At this time, everyone is no longer naïve, but they have been willingly "naïve" by this song and picture, or everyone's childlike heart that has been abandoned in the corner has been activated again.
In the picture, Ciri suddenly changed his pajamas into knight's armor, and at the same time put on a cloak that shimmered with magical brilliance. The abrupt but not surprising nature of the transition, because only "doing what you want" is the law of dreams that are completely different from reality.
Ciri dressed up and with the power of her magic cloak, she flew out of the window and into the clouds.

With that muffled singing, Ciri flew over the clouds and flew to a higher position, looking down on the entire continent of Nair from high in the sky. It seems that the cloak not only gave Ciri the ability to fly, but also the ability to detect advanced Eagle Eyes. From the picture next to Ciri, everyone also found that the legendary ancient city in the sky was floating in the clouds, and the place where Kayla was imprisoned was actually the city in the sky.
Ciri, who found Kayla, flew towards Sky City without hesitation, and at the same time, the villain boss of the story also officially appeared for the first time, and it stretched out its claws to cut off the picture of Ciri seeing Kayla like a curtain.
Unlike the demon devil everyone imagined, the villain boss turned out to be just a weak, somewhat cute giant velvet rat. Well, in fact, for children, the little guy is really the most terrible monster of childhood. Because adults often scare children that the velvet rat will not only steal the children's sweet fruit (a high-sugar dried fruit, a favorite of the children, but you will know what it looks like after watching the music video). manual funny), and will also eat disobedient children until only the skull and a thigh are left.
Well, when you grow up, everyone knows that in fact, the velvet rat just likes to eat sweet fruits, and the others are all stories made up by adults to deceive children to be honest and obedient.
every moment was so precious
(It seems to be a preserves-like moment)
Ciri, who rushed to the rescue, also encountered a magical airship in the clouds that he didn't know which organization, but Ciri quickly overtook the slow airship.
Ciri flew over mountains, rivers, villages.
they were sitting
(They were)
The music continues, and Ciri flies across the bay to a city.

(used to sit on this strawberry swing)
In the sky above this unknown city, everyone can still clearly see the towering castles and churches in the city, as well as the endless flow of carriages and people.
At the same time, Ciri was also sniped by the velvet rat for the first time, and with a branch of arrows shooting at Ciri, the velvet also stepped on the cloud and appeared in the frame. But the weapon it uses to fire arrows is a bit ridiculous, it is actually the porous grinder used to grind spices in everyone's kitchen.
The velvet rat attacks Ciri while also showing her muscles and strength to Ciri a little childishly, as if to make Ciri retreat.
everybody was for fighting
(Everyone is babbling to fill in the trivial time)
Ciri was a little naïve and embarrassed at this time, swaying left and right to avoid the attack of the velvet mouse. This is probably a child's purest dream, full of all kinds of magical and illogical props, but also full of childish villain monsters and the equally naïve protagonist himself.
wouldn't want to waste a thing
(Don't want to miss a topic)
As the battle progressed, Ciri somehow pulled out an umbrella and ridiculously blocked the arrows. The arrows were blocked by the umbrella, and the bullets were scattered.
Seeing that Ciri had blocked his attack, the velvet shook the grinder up with a frown, but the arrow was never able to break through the defense of the umbrella in Ciri's hand, and Ciri also faced the velvet rat with the umbrella, intending to fight the velvet mouse with chivalry.
