Chapter 603: The Mirror Comes to the Door
Abner looked at the mirror that kept rubbing against his feet, and the corners of his mouth twitched, deeply thinking that the horrific scene he had seen when he first entered this dream might be a hallucination.
"What the hell is going on? Isn't this mirror the embodiment of the Duke's Miss Nasari's nightmares? How do you seem to be afraid of being abandoned by me...... Will you still sell cute?
"Is the nightmare's desire to survive so strong these days?"
Complaining in his heart, Abner ignored the "coquettishness" of the mirror, and "ruthlessly" simulated the "divine light" to "purify" it.
Who would have thought that when the magnificent and pure pillar of blazing light shrouded the mirror, it would actually show a stick figure expression symbolizing "comfort" on the mirror, but it quickly reacted, eliminated that expression, and fell to the ground on its own, becoming torn apart......
What's going on? Comfortable suicide? Or is this thing acting? But with its "death", this nightmare seems to be coming to an end......
Abner was a little confused by the mirror's performance, and was in no mood to "perform" in front of Nasari again, and when the dream was shattered, he sent it back to reality.
At the same time, Dunn looked at the empty dream of Siltana, a member of the "Witcher" team, and was also a little dazed, as a nightmare, he was the first time he entered other people's dreams and did not find the main owner......
……
In the twilight of the castle, Syltana, with a sword at her waist and a wine bottle in her hand, followed a "real" giant who was half a body taller than her captain and senior deacon, across the hall, across the corridor, and finally into a living room, where she saw a man in a silk top hat and a black gown, of medium stature, with a bronze complexion and vicissitudes of life.
Her eyes widened because Siltana recognized the man in front of her, who always appeared in her drunken dreams to help her dispel a girlhood nightmare......
She also always joked that the other party was the one she liked, so she would be like the famous saying of Russell the Great: what she thinks during the day, she dreams about at night.
But that doesn't seem to be the case now...... Could it be that this man has been living in this dream relic? What I have dreamed of in the past...... Is it really him?
While Siltana was thinking, the giant, after respectfully paying homage to the man, withdrew from the parlor, leaving the two of them alone.
"That'...... What's your name? Siltana was the first to ask.
The man did not answer immediately, he looked at Siltana carefully, and his face showed a look of trance, and after a long time he said in a low voice, "You can call me Mr. Azik." ”
Azk ...... Siltana chewed on the word, but didn't remember any of the beings who had used it, so after thinking for a moment, she carefully asked again, "Mr. Azik, did you come to me for something?" ”
"A friend told me that there was a lady who looked a little like me, so I had the idea to meet you......" Mr. Azik laughed and continued, "I know your name is Siltana, but I don't know what your last name is. ”
What do you look like? Didn't you lose your daughter, so you're looking for it? But I'm sure it's my parents' biological daughter, and my parents are also my grandparents' biological daughters...... You're probably looking for the wrong person......
But maybe I have some occult connection with this Mr. Azik somewhere else? Otherwise, I wouldn't have dreamed of him all the time.
After a few words, Siltana replied, "My last name is Stirling...... At this point, she tactfully reminded me, "Although my parents are dead, I remember clearly who they were." ”
Stirling...... I remember using this last name for a certain period of my life...... And, if I'm right recalling, Silica...... She should also be surnamed Sterling!
As for the meaning of Siltana's later words, Mr. Azk naturally understood, so he smiled and asked again, "Your family moved from Conston in Rune to Indor Harbor?" ”
"How do you know?" Siltana looked surprised, and her heart quickly turned, thinking: Could it be that this gentleman is a relative of his own Rune?
"Why move out of Rune?"
Siltana's thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Azik's question, and she recalled for a moment, uncertainly:
"My family was more than 400 years ago...... It seems that it was because he wanted to avoid the enemy that he moved his family to Indo and bought many properties......"
As she spoke, she sighed again, and continued as if caught in a memory: "Unfortunately, even so, the family has not been able to develop, and when it reached my father, there was no property left in the family, so he had to go out to sea to fish, and as a result, twelve years ago he witnessed the skeleton of this ruin, and finally died of madness......
"My mother also died of mental illness shortly after, and I was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time when I was taken away and protected by the captain who was investigating my father's madness, and later became an extraordinary person and joined the 'witcher' team......
"Hehe, I always thought that my father had seen the battle between His Excellency Panin and a 'corpse collector' path high-level powerhouse...... But this morning, I learned that Panin had never fought that strong man at all...... My father really strayed into the ruins of this dream. ”
At this point, Siltana, who realized that she seemed to be talking too much, suddenly came to her senses, then looked at Mr. Azik vigilantly, and asked in disbelief, "What did you just ...... Have you induced my spirit? ”
"I see...... "Mr. Azik nodded first, then shook his head, "I didn't induce you...... But you do have the power that surrounds me in your spirit, and it makes you feel a little close to me, so that you can't help but say so many things. ”
"Your power?" Siltana did not doubt the other party's words, first, with the ability shown by the other party, there was no need to lie to herself; Second, in the past drunken dreams, there was indeed a man with the image of the other party to protect himself...... Maybe it's because of the strength of the other party that this happens.
"Yes...... Your father and mother may have died from the 'spiritual plague' left over from the Mind Dragon, after all, it died 12 years ago, and its traits have not yet been taken.
"And that dragon was killed by me, and it was already tainted with my power.
"I'm guessing that your father didn't change on the spot after witnessing the dragon's skeleton, and that's why......
"It's a pity that he was too close to the mythical creatures...... Even if the dragon only had a skeleton left!
"And you're lucky...... The 'pollution' that your father brought to you is not only weak, but it also contains my power. ”
Mr. Azerk glanced at Siltana with pity and analyzed.
"I see...... But why did my mother ......?" said Siltana but stopped herself, for she had already guessed the reason from the other party's series of questions.
"Because she is not my descendant...... My strength cannot shelter her......" said Mr. Ajke what she had not spoken.
Siltana was silent for a long time before she said, "Mr. Azerke, do you have any wine?" ”
"It's still a dream, and there's never a shortage of things like that in dreams." Mr. Azike nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he conjured a barrel of Sunia blood wine.
"It's not cheap...... I haven't dreamed of it before! Siltana's eyes lit up, and she quickly poured a glass from the bucket and drank it to herself.
The wine was made from Sunia's golden spring water, which was very expensive and not at all enough for Siltana's salary......
To be honest, it was the first time she had tasted Sunia blood wine.
It's a pity that the mood is not right.
"Do you get drunk in your dreams?" When she was drunk and dazed, she suddenly heard Mr. Ajick's question again: "Who is the enemy of your family to hide?" ”
"I don't know...... But I had secretly read some of my grandfather's notes...... The record says that you can't plot against your enemies, and it's even better not to think about them...... Otherwise they may know the location of my house......"
As she spoke, Siltana lost consciousness completely, and the last time she fell asleep, she saw a bird with silver wings leap over her head.
Mr. Azerke pondered for a long time, then touched Silica's little head, and seemed to ask:
"Is it a 'spectator' or a 'demon'?
"Silica, do you think the enemies of the Siltana family have anything to do with your death?"
Celica tilted her head when she heard this, but her eyes were full of confusion......
Mr. Azerke, who did not intend to get an answer from him, looked through the window of the castle at the collective dream in the courtyard, and said to himself, "It seems that this friend of Abner has succeeded...... Well, it's time to clear the scene, and then completely plug the loopholes in the dream! ”
……
Indo Harbour, in the villa of the docklands.
Abner, Dunn, Jane, and Cross Fia all unwittingly escaped the dream ruins and abruptly returned to the place where they had set off.
Crossfia glanced at Abner and Dunn and complimented, "You've done a great job, I'll give you another reward later!" ”
Then, without waiting for Dunn and the others to excuse herself, she added, "But I have some things to attend to now, and I will talk about it tomorrow morning......
"Abner and Jane, you can stay here today...... Dunn, you can help arrange this. ”
With that, Cross Fia hurried back to her room.
Miss "Lazy" seems to be really anxious...... Could it be that something went wrong with the ceremony?
Abner just wanted to open his pure white eyes to take a look, but he intuitively felt that this might not go well, so he gave up.
Later, under Dunn's guidance, he went to his room, and just wanted to take a break, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Immediately after, Miss Plant appeared in front of him with a mirror that was somewhat familiar to Abner.
"Sir...... This mirror has something to ask you for......"
