Even the stables and kitchen servants knew that among the alliance's diverse and mixed rebels, the Celestial Thoughts on their territory were undoubtedly the most powerful and terrifying one on the border.

This rebel army will never repeat the defeat under Jiyingling. Now it has so many fallen spirits that it provides them with an almost endless source of power. Free and powerful fallen spirits are everywhere - whether in the misty morning, or on the moonlit night, whether by the River of Sighs, or on the dirt road leading to a neighboring town, as long as you are in the territory of the Celestial Song, you can often see the shadows cast by these magical creatures unintentionally.

In the western sky, a lush forest grows faintly in the clouds, and the roots of the trees hanging from the clouds are like vines blown by the evening breeze. There are always two water-loving fallen spirits entrenched in the River of Sighs, sometimes they arch back the person who jumped into the water, and sometimes they drag the person on the river bank into it. Except for the horses and livestock, which were still very uneasy, everyone was immersed in a sense of pride and security: Tianxiangqu was stationed here in the open, next to the large and small noble territories, but no one, not a single nobleman, could move them.

Soldiers have never been so safe, and never have they been so useless. The last casualty worth mentioning was before Dolan's group returned: a troop was sent to a nearby town to loot food and grass, injuring nearly a hundred soldiers, but it was also the heavy rain that night that fell a new Fallen Spirit, adding a Fallen Soul Messenger to Tianxiangqu - the fortune of this army is really staggering.

Compared to the panicked aristocratic realms, the River of Sighs, occupied by the rebels, looks vibrant.

Under such circumstances, it was really hard to believe that Feng Lian left quietly for no reason.

"Sister Lianzi must have gone by herself,"

Dolan jerked to a halt, nearly causing Lull to crash into her back. She turned around and reiterated, "Didn't she always say that she didn't want to be with the rebels?"

"Yes, but ......"

In addition to Lul, several other young daughters-in-law in the village have already returned. Only this girl with a slender face and high cheekbones is still unwilling to give up.

"I don't think she's walking on her own," Lull frowned, freckles on his forehead squeezed into the lines. It seemed that she was approaching the castle where the Fallen Spirits lived for the first time, and even though she hadn't entered the gate yet, she only glanced at the towering city walls, and couldn't help but lower her voice: "She didn't even tell me a word before she saw me. Besides, how could she have the guts to be alone...... There is chaos outside......"

Dolan caught her gaze and smiled almost immediately.

"Sister Luer, Sister Lianzi is different from you. She complained a lot, but you forgot," she lowered her voice and said softly, "She's a Fallen Soul Messenger after all." ”

I don't know if it was the words "Fallen Spirit" or the sound of brisk footsteps coming out of the castle, which suddenly made Luer purse his mouth tightly. Dolan looked back and smiled softly at the rusher, "Salome, are you going out for a walk again?"

She knew Salome wasn't going for a walk, but she didn't say it.

Ji Xuelun's falling spirit, the shape of which was like a slender girl wrapped in seven layers of light veil, was so light and graceful that it seemed to spin and dance next, and it stretched out its excessively long fingers, and took off the veil on its face, revealing a face far from that of a human being—its eyes were too large, and its gray pupils were soaked in a deep blue, which was creepy in the moonlight at the beginning of night.

When Salome nodded, Lull couldn't help but take a step closer to Dolan a little nervously.

Doran held her hand tightly, still not letting go after Salome was gone.

"Listen to me," she said calmly, looking into Luer's eyes, "Sister Lianzi has always been cautious and cautious, and she has never held grudges with anyone, so she will not be in danger." She must have her own reasons for her sudden departure. But as a fellow villager, I will definitely let people pay more attention to her whereabouts. ”

Luer's shoulders relaxed slightly, and he exhaled: "Uncle Lin said the same thing...... You've seen him, haven't you?"

Dolan tightened her jaw and kept her smile smiling, "No, I haven't gone to see him yet." ”

She wasn't lying.

"You Soul Fallen Envoys are very busy. Lull answered, narrowing her eyes again and glancing at the faint shadow of the castle behind her, as if trying to suppress a thought, but the effort was unsuccessful, and she finally couldn't help asking, "I remember...... Isn't it half ruined?"

"It's half ruined,"

Even without looking back, Dolan knew what she was asking.

"The other half of the castle you see now is a mirror image of a fallen spirit, identical inside and out to the undestroyed half. In the past, it had to save energy, so it almost didn't use its abilities, but now that there are enough spirit stones, its owner simply called out the mirror image and lived in it for a long time. Doesn't it look symmetrical?"

Luel's mouth opened slightly, and his gaze quickly swept back and forth on the two halves of the castle that were tightly connected and reflected like each other, and his face was mixed with a little awe in addition to surprise.

Dolan took the opportunity to pat her hand, "Sister Lianzi's falling spirit is no worse than this, you can rest assured." ”

Feng Lian refused to reveal her falling spirit ability to anyone, but made things much easier, in fact, Dolan didn't know what her falling spirit was like, but she made up a few words casually, and successfully sent Luer away. She turned and walked in to the right hand of the castle gate, the ground rippling like a wave at her feet.

When she stood alone in the outer court, Doran no longer had the strength to maintain a smile on her face.

As the night deepened, candles lit up in the castle's main building and towers, like fireflies hovering over the deep blue lake on a summer night. Each room lit with orange-red flames represented a fallen spirit envoy. Dolan subconsciously counted the lights for a while, and suddenly sighed slightly: maybe Commander Jie Li didn't realize it at all, even if you add the lucky person who got the fallen spirit recently, there are actually only thirty-one fallen spirit envoys in Tianxiangqu. Not one more, not one less.

After the appearance of the Mirror Castle, several Celestial Soul Bearers also moved in, and the Fallen Spirits who created all of this were so powerful and subtle that people had to admire.

If Doran closed her eyes and turned around a few times, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to tell which side was real and which side was mirrored. As she walked through the stone corridor, the cool stone slabs beneath her feet made the same faint rustling sound, and when she turned a corner, she met the same wall of creepers, rich and green. Even a gap in the stone steps that Gaia had knocked out was perfectly reflected on this side - Doran reached out and touched the gap, the rough stone was cold against her fingers, no different from the real stone steps on the left.

Ji Xuelun told her that Romandan's room was on the second floor of the main building, and he was also one of the first fallen spirit envoys to move in.

Speaking of which, it's weird, isn't it?

I didn't live in the real, safe, and down-to-earth castle, but I moved into the ability effect of another fallen spirit - although everyone was a colleague in the same army, and the owner of the fallen spirit had no reason to hurt him, he was indeed too relieved. Who knows what power is in the mirror?

Maybe it's because Romandan has a good relationship with the owner of the falling spirit? In this way, there are really a lot of fallen spirit envoys who have a good relationship with him, and it seems that there are more and more of them.

As Doran walked up the steps, she remembered the owner of the fallen spirit.

She hadn't really paid attention to him before the Mirror Castle appeared. The man was an ordinary man of speech, and there was nothing to remember except that he often wrapped himself from head to toe in a gray robe, but this garment gave him no mystery at all, but only a dull and boring appearance. Ryan Fleck, the name is also almost as long and boring as his robes.

Dinner had just ended, but the Mirror Castle was already in silence, as if everyone was ready to go to bed. Doran listened to her own monotonous footsteps all the way, and when she suddenly heard a half-murmur in the depths of the corridor, she was stunned to realize that there was someone else there—she hurried a few steps, turned a corner, and sure enough, she saw a thin shadow in the moonlight.

"Is that you?" Doran remembered his name, lowered her voice, and walked briskly. "What are you doing here?"

Green looks thinner than last time. His pale blonde hair was whitened by the moonlight, and as he lowered his head, it dimmed into the shadows. He snorted, one hand still resting on the stone fence, subconsciously grasping it.

"This, this half of the castle...... It's all made by the Fallen Spirit......"

Doran exhaled and understood.

"You're not a fallen spirit envoy, and if someone finds out that you've slipped in, you'll be in trouble. She pulled Green's hand off the fence and whispered, "Just look outside later, you know?"

"There are ordinary people living here," Green said, bowing his head and stubbornly, "I'm just walking." ”

Is there one?

"Maybe it's a servant of the Fallen Spirit, not like you. ”

Green looked at the stone bricks beneath his feet, and didn't know if he heard it. The misty moonlight fell on the ground, white as a shadow in a mirror, and it looked unreal. After a while, the boy finally nodded as if he was very tired, and asked in a low voice, "Falling spirit...... What kind of creatures are they, I have heard, they are immortal, and they have been passed down from generation to generation in those aristocratic homes for nearly a thousand years...... Is it true?"

"It's true, I guess they're not creatures. Doran thought for a moment, "Like an elf or a devil, you can live for a long, long time." ”

Green stared blankly at Dolan, a pair of big girl-like eyes with long eyelashes almost pitch black under the moonlit night: "Elves or devils don't exist, do they......?

A soft-hearted man might have comforted him that he might one day get the Fallen Spirit, too—but Doran didn't have the idea at all. There was no need for him to have unrealistic wishes, she thought.

"So what? you can't decide if you can own a Fallen Spirit, so don't get too obsessed, it's not good for you. They do not belong to this world, and if they are not related to them, it may be a kind of luck. ”

Green didn't say anything, and buried his head deeply. Looking at him, Doran even suspected that he might have forgotten that there was still a person standing in front of him. She had to call him twice, urging him to leave, and then she went to Romandan's room and knocked on the door.

When she opened the door and found that it was Dolan, Romandan's face flashed with surprise that she almost thought that she had a sea anemone on her face, but the other party quickly calmed down, and she felt that her next behavior was also natural - it should not have been for him to see anything.

The conversation didn't last long, and Dolan heard the news she wanted after ten minutes, and got up to leave.

She was so distracted that her limbs and bones froze, and she didn't know how she had managed to get out of the mirror, and after standing straight for a while in the night breeze, she seemed to have learned to walk again, and slowly entered the tower on her left, step by step.

Compared to the Mirror Castle, the side where the people of Elrington live is much more lively. Joey and the wine bag set up a game in the room, and before they could get closer, they could hear the clattering of the dice and the sound of drunken laughter and swearing. Other spirit envoys may have moved away because they couldn't be clean—Duolan had just floated this guess, and she happened to see the person she was looking for, and immediately shouted, "Xiao Wei!"

The child, who had just poked his head out of the hallway, trotted over, and Doran motioned for him to descend the stairs, and the two stopped at a corner near the outer edge of the castle. As soon as someone came from here, they could spot it in advance, and behind them there was only a stone fence and a moat of the River of Sighs. The night breeze blew countless moonlights on the waves, and the broken mangs gradually disappeared into the dark distance.

"Sister Dolan," Xiao Wei was pale, with a pair of dark eye sockets, as if he had never slept well. He seemed to be more nervous since he stopped here, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

"Did you keep an eye on me while I was away?"

Xiao Wei nodded.

She already knew the answer, but Doran still had a hint of luck, hoping that the child would prove her wrong. She heard her voice tighten and asked, "How's it going?"

"I don't know what to look out for...... I also saw a few things. But I don't think it's a big deal...... I do not know. There are many fallen spirits that I haven't seen before, and I guess maybe they are the fallen spirits in the original Tianxiang Qu Army. If they don't usually come out to act, Little Fork and I can't see, so for a while, we didn't notice anything......

Dolan didn't rush him, just listened quietly, and when Vivi was nervous, he would tug and pull and talk about it. After listening to it for a while, she found something that she cared about from the narrative of the running account.

At Dolan's prompting, Xiao Wei seemed to have finally found the head of a mess of wool.

"Yes, that's right, Sister Lianzi often came over a while ago, and she seems to be worried that Uncle Lin will leave. Ah, for the last time? Let me think...... The last time I saw her was about three days ago...... By the way, that night, Xiaosha felt that a falling spirit that had never appeared in the outer courtyard before, and he didn't know where it came from. It was far away, so it was difficult to activate the ability to observe the morphological characteristics of the fallen spirit...... Just as I was about to walk over to see who it was, the falling spirit suddenly disappeared. Later, I didn't know if Sister Lianzi had been here. ”

"Gone?" Doran frowned, trying to sort through his confusing description, "and then?"

"I—I thought the host of the fallen spirit had put it away," Xiao Wei said with a slight stammer, "I went around the outer court, and I didn't see anyone, so I came back." ”

Despite Dolan's disappointment, she wasn't at all surprised that Vivi would get nothing.

Before she returned, the Mirror Castle had not yet been made by Ray Flecklion—the name was terrible—the walls of the outer court had been half destroyed in battle, the ruins of the breaches had not yet been cleared, and the broken bricks and stones had been poured on the ground like a bucket of wheat that had been kicked down to the banks of the River of Sighs.

Xiao Wei can only capture the tracks of the fallen spirits and their abilities, and as long as they are put away, anyone can sneak away from the rubble without noticing.

Dolan's gaze swept and immediately fixed on Xiao Wei's face.

The child bit his lip and looked at the River of Sighs outside the stone castle with a wistful expression.

"What's wrong?"

"I ...... One thing suddenly came to mind. He frowned lightly, as if he was a little unsure: "As I walked back, I faintly heard a sound. Now that I think about it, it's kind of like something fell into the water. ”

She fell three days ago, will she be able to find it tonight?

Just as Dolan hurried down the stairs, Xiao Wei stopped her from behind.

"Sister Dolan, Uncle Lin asked about you this morning," his hair formed a shaggy shadow in the night, "Aren't you going to look for him?"

Her heart seemed to be burned by the word "Uncle Lin", and for a moment she couldn't say anything—Dolan wasn't ready to see him at all. She replied vaguely, and turned around and rushed towards the River of Sighs.
