As soon as the heartwarming dream ended, the most terrifying nightmare followed. In Vivien's more than twenty years of memory, there is actually only one thing that really feels terrifying like a nightmare, and the only one. Vivien forgot who had told her that if something could get worse, it would happen, and so the more she feared the memory, the more it appeared in her dreams, and she couldn't escape it. So, a good dream was followed by a nightmare, and in fact, in her memory, the interval between the two memories was actually only a short three days, less than sixty hours.

"Vivian, Vivian, dear, we're back. The mage girl in the dream was still only six years old, sitting in the living room of the house, with a large amount of paper spread out on the table in the living room, Vivien kneeling on the chair to maintain her height, her whole body lying on the table, holding a pen in her hand but not writing, but frowning, biting the barrel of the pen in her mouth, looking thoughtful. A third of the spread paper was already covered with patterns, which were intricate and mysterious, and looked like they should be part of some kind of magic array. The little girl bit the pen more and more tightly, and even made a clicking sound, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she drew several strokes on the paper in a row. However, an accident happened, perhaps because the concept of the magic circle was not perfect, and the paper carrying the faint magic power suddenly exploded into a flame with a bang, quickly igniting the surrounding paper. The six-year-old girl, as if she had experienced this countless times, did not even blink her eyes much, but waved her hand casually, and a ball of water spread out on the flames, dousing the spreading flames. Disposing of the flames casually, Vivien sat down in her chair with a face full of chagrin, biting her chubby fingers angrily, her bare feet swinging on the chair, ignoring the information on the table, and lowering her head to think again. While he was thinking about it, the sound of the door opening came from outside the house, followed by his mother's voice: "Are you still reading? We bought dinner by the way and came out to eat. ”

"I see. Vivien responded, just in time for the failure of the experiment, so she simply put the experiment aside for the time being. Jumping out of the chair, he ran out of the living room barefoot, and as soon as he went out, he saw his parents who had been dead for many years and only occasionally appeared in dreams. What her parents looked like when she was six years old. The memory has long been blurred, and what appears in the dream is the last time I saw them a few years later. At that time, in order to treat her, her parents not only spent all their savings, but also because of overwork, her temples were already gray, and people in their thirties looked old. Vivien ran to her mother, and only then did she stop looking like a genius. And like a real child, he threw himself into his mother's arms, buried his head in his mother's stomach and rubbed it hard.

The mother smiled, gently picked up the young Vivian, and touched the little girl's red face with a little mid-autumn coolness, and gently bit the little face, in exchange for Vivian rubbing her cheeks hard and constantly snorting. The silent and serious father did not speak, but watched the warm interaction between his wife and daughter with relief, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't until the mother and daughter were tired of being together for a while that they expressed their thoughts about each other that the parents put the food they bought on the table. The food wasn't hearty and the taste was just ordinary, but after a few days apart, I had the opportunity to have dinner with my parents. The genius mage girl felt extremely satisfied. The little girl likes this the most, delving into the magic of her beloved for a day, and then spending a wonderful and warm evening with her parents, parents and knowledge, as long as there are these two companions, no matter what kind of life. Girls will feel that it is the happiest time.

"How have you been these days? Have you gone out for a walk?" Vivien's family is just an ordinary citizen family, there are no strict rules like nobles, and you can talk casually at the dinner table. After the dinner began, the family laughed for a while, and the mother asked with concern, "That little sister of yours, Catherine, must have come to look for you, did you listen to her and go out to play together?"

"She's annoying. The little girl complained impatiently, but she didn't notice it herself, and when she complained, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned: "Nagging, in the end I can't help it, I can only go out with her and waste an afternoon outside, don't do this next time, let her force me to go out to play, I annoy her." ”

"You don't look like you're annoying her. The mother debunked Wei Wei's inconsistent answer on the spot, and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that she takes good care of you, and next time I entrust her like this, so I decided." ”

"Mother. Vivien's eyes widened in disgust, and she shouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't do such superfluous things. ”

"Okay, okay, you mother and daughter don't make trouble. The majestic father couldn't help but laugh and coughed, knocked lightly on the table and said, "Let's get down to business, Vivian, how are the results of the past few days?"

"The theoretical knowledge is not very ideal, the modeling problem of the Millaine equation has not been thoroughly understood these days, but the progress of Potions is good, Master Camille is worthy of being the most famous Potions expert five hundred years ago, his analysis of Potions is extremely thorough, and most importantly, the classification of medicinal properties he proposed is very meaningful, although slightly flawed, but the induction of medicinal properties is unprecedented, and it is a great inspiration to me. Speaking of these topics of interest, the mage girl couldn't stop at all, her excited face was a little red, and her words were as rapid as raindrops, and she introduced her research results in the past few days for ten minutes in a row, and the little girl stopped to take a breath and continued: "As for personal strength, it is making good progress, Master Merlin and Master Antuin both said that if nothing else, I can advance to the bronze level in half a month." ”

"So fast. Hearing Vivien's words, this was the only reaction in the parents' hearts. Vivian's introduction in the first half, the couple didn't understand, it felt like listening to the pastor's preaching in the church, there was always a feeling of drowsiness, but the second half did understand, although some psychological preparation, but was still shocked by the speed of the little girl's strength: "You only became a professional last year, and now you are already about to advance to the bronze rank? Why is it so fast?"

"It's been almost a year, and it took a year to advance to the bronze rank, and the speed can only be said to be moderate, and as a magical genius, this speed is already very humiliating. Vivien was not satisfied with her speed, and said unhappily: "In the records, the fastest advanced genius, from black iron to bronze, only took four months, I am really too bad. ”

"That guy isn't as young as you. Although Vivien felt ashamed, her parents were very excited, and as parents who loved their children, there was nothing more to make them happy than that their children could have a bright future. Father and mother looked at each other and nodded to mother, as if they had made a decision. Mother gave a gentle sigh of gratitude, put down the utensils and smiled at Vivien: "Baby, since you are about to achieve such excellent results, we are going to give you a reward. ”

"I'm not interested in rewarding anything. Vivien, however, was not at all happy about this, but shook her head and said, "It's better to save the money for the reward, you have already spent a lot of money on my magic experiments, and I would rather keep this money so that you can work a little less." ”

Vivian's words made her mother's eyes redden, and she wiped her eyes, but she still insisted: "I think you should listen to the content of the reward before making a decision, this reward will not cost too much." ”

"Okay. Vivien sighed, put down her knife and fork and raised her head: "What kind of reward?"

"We can have three days off these days. Mother said with a smile: "Didn't you always want us to go out with you? It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the harvest festival, you are six years old, and you have not participated in the harvest festival, so we decided to take you to set off tomorrow, and the three of us will go to the nearby village to participate in the harvest festival together, and there will be a fireworks display at night, this is the first time that our family has gone out to participate in the festival after you became sensible." ”

"Really?" Vivien said with wide eyes in surprise and even ecstasy, "You didn't lie to me?

"Of course. The mother leaned over and touched Vivien's head and said dotingly, "We all know that you have always wanted to hang out with the whole family, but unfortunately the two of us are too busy and always don't have time. Well, this time, I finally have time, how about it, would you like to go together? It will take two days, oh, you are not allowed to think about magic anytime and anywhere in these two days. ”

"Of course I do. Vivien shouted, "I like my father and mother the most, haha, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”

"Then hurry up and have dinner. My father also smiled and said, "After eating, I will go back to my room to pack my things, and we will set off together at noon tomorrow." ”

"Stop, stop. Vivien struggled in her consciousness to stop herself from dreaming about what was about to happen, but all efforts were in vain, the dream was not under her control, and everything continued.

In the dream, young Vivien was full of anticipation, ate the rest of the dinner as fast as she could, put the cutlery on the table, and rushed to her room without looking back, shouting: "I'll go back to my room to pack my luggage, I'll see you later." ”

When she turned around during the run, she saw her parents with a smile of relief and doting on their faces, and this was the last time the girl saw them smile like this. On the way to the room, the girl suddenly felt a throbbing from her soul, the same feeling as in a dream, pain, despair, sadness, all kinds of negative emotions emerged from the depths of her soul, enveloping her consciousness, young Vivien's eyes darkened, and she fell straight to the ground, the last thing she heard in her ears was the anxious and frightened call of her parents.

Since then, the genius Vivien has never stood up with the strength of her body. (To be continued.) )

PS: It seems that the monthly pass finally no longer shows 0, which is worth celebrating.
