Epilogue: The History of Partition and the New Dawn

FIN

Night was falling.

Almost the entire port of Elovi is asleep, but there is one area that is just beginning to wake up: the "bar area" that clings to the port area.

Oil lamps are hung in front of all the shops to illuminate the entire area. In front of several particularly large shops, there are even colorful magic lanterns - that one is worth hundreds of elf platinum coins, which is an out-and-out luxury. Warblers, swallows, and laughter filled these neighborhoods.

It is a huge derivative watered with the wealth of the New World.

"It's only when you walk here that you feel like you're in the atmosphere of our time. This nostalgic illumination ......"

The blonde girl, still wearing a tight black leather armor, walked down the street and sighed. Wearing this tight-fitting clothing, her figure of the "supermodel of later generations" level is particularly dazzling.

"There is only a red-light district, which is an eternal existence that transcends all eras. ”

The brown-haired girl walking beside her had a flushed face all the time, and she didn't know where to put her eyes. On all sides, there are women who are dressed as much as possible in erotic ways. It's not very revealing, but it's very provocative.

"Is it because underwear has not yet become popular in this era......?

"If you go any further, it's time to get to the scale. Sister, let's stop here. ”

Anne suddenly stopped at the front door of a large store and stared at a glass lamp. It was a glass magic lamp with a very beautiful shape and a very complex shape, emitting an iridescent light.

"Wow! There's a Baroque magic lamp! This thing is a sky-high antique in two hundred years!"

"This technology is about to catch up with our time, isn't it?" Bonnie stopped and looked at the appearance of the lamp.

After evaluating the craftsmanship level of this glass, the two sisters looked at each other with regret: "It seems that you can't make money by opening a glass workshop......

Just as the two of them were appreciating the level of seventeenth-century glassblowing, countless hungry men surrounded them with straight eyes.

"Two ...... Excuse me, how many platinum coins do you have together?"

"I'll give 5, 5!" "10!" "10 platinum coins, which is already an astonishing priceβ€”ordinary slave girls can already buy a dozen to go home.

"Glamorous female warriors, please beat me with the back of the knife in your hand!"

The two of them realized that they had stopped where they shouldn't, and they hurried out of the place.

"Good, so terrible! don't people of this age tell the difference?" said Anne as she ran.

"In this day and age, there shouldn't be a woman of a good family who lingers here at night. It's still our fault. Although she was also running, her sister's voice was not panting at all.

The two sisters trotted all the way to keep up with the mistress in front. Lessa's position was conspicuousβ€”there was no one within twenty meters of her. At night, all the magical costumes and accessories on her body emit a dazzling golden glow, making people afraid to approach her.

"What's the matter, slaves A and B? are there boring flies chasing after you?"

The alchemist's arm shook, and a chain of spikes unfolded in midair! The chain shot straight out of the golden scepter, across the entire avenue, blocking the road, provoking a scream, and many passers-by were bruised.

"If you want to touch my slave, no way!" Lesa swept her cold eyes, and the bored men around her immediately fled.

"This ...... Is it a new form?" asked Anne.

"That's right, Spearline, it's finally ready for long-range attacks. Resa put away her scepter, "We've arrived. ”

Anne and Bonnie looked up to see a huge sign running overhead: "Eloway Dynasty Hotel: Magic doesn't work, it's safe!".

"It's the best. The Admiralty of St. Sen's ...... full of generosity"

"Well, I think the Duchy of Soma should pay the bill. ”

A few people walked into the bar and sat down in a secluded corner.

The light shines through the stained glass, turning a dull red onto the bar filled with dishes and wine glasses. A faint and inexplicable mist surrounded the entire bar hall, and the corner table was placed with fine New Island tobacco. The sailors who liked to swallow the clouds and spit fog went there to get tobacco and wrapped it in cigarette paper to enjoy it. Tobacco was introduced from the New World and is now a popular phenomenon.

Seeing that people were using paper to roll cigarettes, the two sisters looked at each other with regretful eyes: "I'm afraid I can't make money from cigarettes......"

"One bottle of white wine, two bottles of lemonade. Once seated, Lesa said, "Annie, get some tobacco." Are you two smoking this?"

"Sorry, no. Sister Bonnie shook her head.

"I used to smoke, but now I quit......" replied Anne with a slight melancholy, and stood up to get the tobacco leaves and cigarette paper.

Taking the cigarette paper, Lesa skillfully rolled up the flue-cured cigarette, popped out a magic flame and lit the cigarette.

Seeing the flames popping out of Lessa's fingertips, and thinking of her mountain of blazing glue, the two sisters could only look at each other with regretful eyes: "Even the way to make a fortune by matches has been blocked......

"Why is this fortune so miserable after we go back to the past?" Anne was finally unwilling.

"It's the Age of Enlightenment. Bonnie replied calmly.

Waitress in low-cut sleeveless tops walked between the tables, occasionally pouring wine and serving side dishes to the bigwigs. The sound of laughter echoed in the mist, and the casual topics that the men of the sea could talk about were nothing but women and women. The ladies sat quietly in the corner, sipping their wine and lemonade, keeping a sense of reserve. Only a group of people in the corner, saying lines that don't fit the environment.

"In other words, you were able to escape today only because of the generosity of Brother Leonard Kakawi! who sacrificed his position in exchange for the lives of you scumbags! Ask yourself, who has no blood on his hands, who has no sin on his hands?" Kezmi Stichhaus waved his arms impassionedly, shouting at the group of pirates who had just been pardoned.

"No, we are guilty!" replied in unison.

Kezmi nodded with satisfaction: "So, you guys must work hard to atone for your sins, reform your ways, and become new people, and strive to get ahead and repay Brother Kakkawi! If you let me know which of you will run away to become a pirate in the future, I will use this knife to cut off his head!"

"Whew!never!" replied in unison.

"You guys......" Resa snuffed out her cigarette and slammed her heel on the floor as she staggered to her feet with a cold face. "Leonard!"

"Huh?" The half-elf turned his head from not far away, and his face was slightly drunk.

"Come here!" said the alchemist, slamming the wooden wine glass in his hand on the table. Hearing this commanding tone, Leonard even sobered up for three minutes and hurried over.

"Let those guys go out and make a noise! aren't they your men?"

"Yes, yes...... The half-elf turned around with a bitter face, thinking about how to get the evil gods out, and as soon as he turned around, he was stunned.

The corner was empty, and all the former pirates had fled at some point. Even the former captain Kezmi, who had an unparalleled momentum and speed in the world, had an expression of "big brother's woman can't be messed with" on his face, and crept out from the front of the bar.

"Well, well done. Lesa burped and sat back down, a faint aroma of wine wafting from between her lips. She pointed to the empty seat next to her and said to Leonard, "Sit down." ”

The half-elf's heart skipped a beat, and he sat down with some restraint. He cautiously reached out to touch the slender jade hand next to him, but every time he saw that he was about to touch it, he carefully stepped back a little, never holding Lacea's hand.

"Actually...... I'm no longer serving in the Elven Navy now. He said with a stumbling voice.

"I know," Lesa smiled, rolled another cigarette, brought it to her mouth with her right hand, and lit it with her left index finger, "because I did it." ”

Leonard was stunned again, stammering and speechless. He was going to pretend not to know, but this woman was too ...... Too......

"Because you said that I would bless you with a triumphant return. The alchemist puffed out a puff of smoke, which also shone crimson in the light. "But you should be paid for this blessing?"

"Pay?" Leonard asked worriedly.

"Yes, the pay. By the way, it's hard to pay my debts......" Lesa smiled slyly, "since you're out of work, why don't you come and be my bodyguard?" ”

"Guard?!" Leonard's eyes lit up, his face flushed, "That is, you, you accepted ......?"

As he spoke, his right hand rested quietly and gently on the back of Lessa's left hand.

"Ahh The alchemist took a casual puff of his cigarette and pressed the end of the cigarette against the back of the half-elf's right hand. "Convergence point. ”

Everyone in the tavern covered their ears as if they hadn't heard the screams of the hero of the Masu Islands, Leonard "The Stabber" Kakkawi. Anne and Bonnie looked at the half-elf in front of them with very sympathetic eyes, but they didn't dare to say more.

"Is that cigarette butt so hot?" asked the blonde girl quietly.

"It's the Age of Enlightenment. Bonnie replied calmly.

"Well, when this debt will be paid off, of course, I have the final say. When it is paid off, I will give you back what I have protected. Lesa began to roll up new flue-cured cigarettes again, "So, let's work together from tomorrow, Mr. Kakkawi." Oh, and by the way, the guy with the knife can also bring it with him. ”

With a flick of Rysa's slender left index finger, the red flame flashed again. At the base of her index finger, with the ring he had given her.

It's late at night.

"It's been a long time since I've been in bed...... I can't sleep. ”

As she said this, Anne Seffir lay relaxed on her bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling of the inn.

Nicely decorated room, solid floor, carved wooden bed, clean sheets...... These things have been completely and completely absent for a long time.

"Oh, sister, are you starting to miss life on the ship?" said the brown-haired girl lying beside her, with a slight sarcasm in her tone, "the kind of life that doesn't even change clothes every day, and sleeps in a cold bilge corner every day?"

"No, it's just amazing. Anne turned to her sister and said, "Imagine that not long ago we were living an ordinary, day-to-day life in the bustling modern city, and now that ordinary life is like a dream. ”

"Of course, now our youth, as well as this perfect body, are also like a dream. Isn't this all done by you, sister? Bonnie pursed her lips disdainfully, and began to complain in a quiet tone, "I think we'd better find a way to get some consumables first." Sanitary napkins may soon be gone, and the bathing conditions in this era are horribly poor......"

"Well, I guess we'd better change the subject, let's talk about where to go next, shall we?" Anne wiped the cold sweat from her head.

Bonnie chuckled, "Ah, sister, do you still need to discuss?" Where is that man now?"

"Well, it should be Lennie, the capital of the free countries of the South, wait for me to look it up......" Anne pulled out a copy of "The Biography of Namen Hugh Corman" out of nowhere.

Her sister scratched her hair and said in surprise, "Sister, you even have this...... Brought them all? Really well prepared. ”

Anne ignored her, opened the book, and began to read.

"Well, let's look at the location first...... When Namen was a child, his family was very poor, living in poverty, barely hungry, and had no money to buy toys, comics, and books. Every day, seven-year-old Naimon goes out into the field to pick branches, dig roots, get firewood, and carry them home and pile them next to his house for cooking and heating. Due to poverty, Naimon dropped out of primary school after only four months of primary school as a child, and has not received formal schooling since. But in the middle of the night, he leaned against the big fire with a book in his hand and read it with relish, and gradually accumulated a wealth of knowledge, and became the prime minister revered by the Corman people. The wealth of knowledge that Namen later possessed was acquired by his long and assiduous self-study......"

Reading this, the blonde girl clapped her hands: "Well, there it is! Let's go find the surrounding area where we can pick up branches......

"This ...... Lenny is a big city, and I don't think I can pick up branches. This story should be nonsense. Were there really toys and comic strips in the seventeenth century?" Bonnie calmly poured cold water on the bewildered sister's head.

"Hmm...... So the next ...... When Naimon was a child, he received a gift - a small axe, and in his excitement, he cut down the family's cherry tree. When Dad found out and asked him, the little guy readily admitted it, and instead of reproaching him, Dad praised him for being an honest and good boy...... By the way, let's go find a house with cherry trees!"

"Cherry tree ......, and even if there were, all that was left of the cherry tree was the stump. ”

"So...... Then look for a ...... with a cherry stump."

"Sister, be funny in moderation. ”

"Well, then, the next one......" Anne turned another page, "When Namen was a child, one night, my mother suddenly fell ill, and she was tossing and turning in bed in pain, sweating profusely. Naimon hurried to the doctor. It happened that the doctor was at home, and as soon as he heard Namen's report, he hurriedly picked up the medicine box and went out. By this time, my mother had rolled to the ground in pain, moaning incessantly. After the doctor's diagnosis, he said that he had to perform surgery immediately, otherwise his life would be in danger. At that time, there were no electric lights, so Naimon quickly found all the kerosene lamps in the house, put them on the table and lit them, but when the doctor saw it, he shook his head and said that the light was too dim to see clearly after surgery. So Naimon thought about it, and finally came up with the idea of using a mirror to reflect light to help doctors perform surgery, which is the reason why he invented 'mirror surgery' in the future......"

"Why go to a doctor instead of a priest? Besides, when was surgery invented, it probably didn't exist in the 17th century, when magic reigned supreme?" Bonnie ruthlessly debunked the facts of the biographer's fiction, "I have the impression that surgery was only done in the 18th century." ”

"This ...... 'first time in the army', Namen Hugh Coman joined the Southern Army at the age of seventeen and became a defender of the free nation. The sister who began to sweat quickly flipped through the table of contents of the book, "'College Spring and Autumn', and then studied magic at the highest university in the empire, Kirman Imperial University, and became a top student. 'Study Tour', and then traveled all over the world, escaping the catastrophe of 30 years of war. At the end of the Thirty Years' War, he joined the exiled Koman Dynasty and turned the tide to successfully restore the Second Dynasty of the Empire and become a hero who saved the Empire......"

Bonnie sighed, "That's it. I'm sure the first half of the book is all fake. ”

"Why?" said Anne. "The review of this book is not bad, it was personally approved by that person......"

"But that's unconscionable," Bonnie said, frowning, "and he must have wanted to cover up something to write his biography like that." What year was that man born?"

Anne replied without hesitation: "In 1649." ”

"Well, sister, you remember it so clearly...... Not to mention the fact that the surname 'Hugh Curman' is used throughout the book, and the strangeness of the previous name is not mentioned, when did the man get the surname of the emperor?"

"Well, in the early nineties of the seventeenth century, five or six years before the end of the Thirty Years' War. ”

"How old was he that year?"

Anne's face turned slightly blue: "This, probably...... In your early 40s? Well, as a man, age is acceptable. ”

"So, sister, would you believe that a young man with sufficient ability would do nothing in the middle of those thirty years of war? ”

"Although I don't know why that last wish sent us to this era, I have a hunch that if you go to that person like this, sister, the dream will probably be shattered. ”

"No one would try to hide their glorious resume. ”

"What's more, history has been changed by us. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future......"

Sentence after sentence of analysis rushed into her sister's ears, and she wanted to avoid listening, but she couldn't prevent herself from hearing this somewhat cruel analysis.

The brown-haired girl grabbed her sister by the shoulders and continued, "Do you still have to go? With our ability to stay ahead of the times, we can live a good life even if we don't find that man." Why do you want to shatter your good memories? I really don't want to see your dreams shattered, sister. ”

"Thank you, Miley...... Anne's eyes moistened slightly, calling her sister's original name. She knew that her sister's concern for her was all from the bottom of her heart. She also knew that her sister's analysis was not wrong, and it was all likely true. Miriana Quilahia was a genius two hundred years later, and she was a genius two hundred years ago. "Let me think about it again. ”

The room fell silent. The two of them lay on their backs in unison, quietly staring at the ceiling.

Night streamed in through the windows and cast on the ceiling and walls. At first it was pitch black, then dark blue, light blue, grayish white.

On the first night they returned to land, they stayed awake all night.

"Ah...... Ganda, get up!

When the first rays of light fell on the ceiling, Lessa's piercing voice came from the downstairs of the inn;

"What? I'm also responsible for these downed thieves? What are you kidding, it's justified defense, justified defense! Damage something? You are responsible! Who made them think when they saw the gold?"

The girls from the afterlife lay on the windowsill, poked their heads out, looked at the angry golden figure below the inn, and snickered eating. Outside the inn, at the foot of Ganda, who was standing vigil, was filled with ravenous thieves and innocent passers-by who had passed out, and anyone who was curious about the big golden creature had been knocked down by it.

Soon, Leonard also ran out, and it took a long time to get everything in order to persuade the onlookers and the protesting shopkeepers to get out of the way, and ordered the ex-pirates to clean up the mess.

"It's going to be a lot of fun. Bonnie counted and smiled knowingly, "'Alchemist of Freedom' and 'Miracle of Sealed Bay'...... This calculation can be very incorrect. ”

"I've decided, Miley. Looking at the busy crowd below, Anne suddenly spoke, her tone unusually calm and powerful.

"Is it decided?"

"I'm going to go to that man. I am confident that he will live up to my expectations. ”

"What if he fails it? As I said, it's very likely. ”

"Well, we'll talk about it then. Perhaps, it may be possible to kill that negative man...... We will take over his historical task. History has changed anyway, hasn't it?"

"This ......," the eyebrows of my sister, who was accustomed to keeping everything under control, twisted into a ball, "are you going to read the spell halfway through the spell, sister?"

"I only know one thing: if I do it, I will probably regret it. But if I don't do it, I'll definitely regret it. Reth Quilahia raised her right hand and slowly clenched it into a firm fist.

"I'm going to have to find that person, no matter what the end result is. Certain. ”

The brown-haired girl smiled softly and reached out with her right hand, stopping her sister's hand in mid-air. The palms of the two struck each other, and there was a crisp "pop" sound.

"That's right...... If you give up like that, you're not the sister I know. So, let's go along. ”

Miriana Quilahia sighed and smiled.

Anne stretched her waist widely, facing the dawn, and pointed her finger straight to the east: "Then head to Lenny, let's go!"

"Because it's the Age of Enlightenment...... Right?"

On June 15, 1665, a week before the beginning of summer, history was divided.

However, the southwest trade winds are still blowing as usual today, and the southwest trade winds will blow as usual tomorrow.

(End of Butterfly in the Storm: Trade Wind Scroll "Trade Wind")

Preview of the second volume

The traveler who returned from the East returned to his homeland.

An unexpected visitor, visited the capital of the United Provinces Republic.

The largest city in the South, the free city of Lenny.

"What kind of store should I open?"

"It's better to ......"

Disturbed coup nights, pre-stationed troops, magic and fire intertwined in the dark.

The male protagonist who is manipulated by fate, and the heroine who ignores fate, meet in iron, blood and fire.

"I warn you, don't cross that line. ”

History is not only one possibility, sometimes there are two occurrences of dusk.

It was a double twilight, leading in different directions.

"Isn't the reason why we are here to change history!"

Butterflies in the Storm Volume II, Twilight Scroll, "Twilight Again".

Lennie ...... It's burning. ”

The twilight of that winter seemed particularly long.

A brief afterword to the volume of the Trade Winds

Finally finished a volume. But this volume is just the beginning. The author also wiped the sweat of hard work...... There is a long way to go for an unpopular work (laughs).

However, the author's own confidence in the later stories is very strong. It's full of all kinds of YY elements (laughs), and as the trailer says, there's everything from fantasy, romance, military, and cultivation.

Needless to say, the worldview is naturally a surprisingly large worldview...... However, except for magic, all the remaining settings are very rooted and logical, and the author is quite confident to say that "rigorous setting". Spoof, it's still hidden between the lines in all places, hints and foreshadowing, please look for it with all the readers who are interested!

The structure of the first volume, to be honest, is capricious. Some misleading narrative techniques were used, and then it was not until verse 18 that the truth was revealed. I know my skills aren't very good, but I guess I'll scare 90% of readers. If you look closely, you should be able to draw this conclusion in chapter 18. I don't know how many readers have carefully read the foreshadowing and inferences of the previous article...... I hope I'm not working day jobs.

From the second volume of "Double Twilight", the plot is really going to be in full swing. The actor Namen Hugh Corman will also appear soon...... All the characters set in the afterglow chapter will also appear together. Most of the characters will be introduced by heroines who are familiar with the "history of the afterlife", but in this new history, the identities and personalities of these characters will also change dramatically.

Some readers in the first volume have suggested that Resa Helmont's personality is too templated. Although it's not the real heroine (the position of the real heroine, if there is no accident, it will probably be Anne Seffer's...... But Lesa is also a very important character in the back. Almost all of the characters in the Trade Winds Scroll have a big role to play in the back, and as I said before, this volume is actually the location of the second volume in the first draft of the outline, and the first volume is mentioned for the sake of the author's wayward narrative structure.

The next section will be the prelude to one of the interludes, Trade Winds, as a transitional passage between the first and second volumes, and by the way, a small synopsis for readers who have not read the previous work (it is a romantic story of Valentine's Day in the modern world, which serves as this year's Valentine's Day essay). The previous work was really not well written.,There's no need to look for it.,Just look at the synopsis-_-b.

"The rule of this world is that the spirit determines the power. ”

The author has put enough spirit into this work this time...... I just want everyone to experience it, and that's enough.

By the way, ask for reviews, publicity, advertising, criticism, and praise ...... ^_^
