Chapter 81: Faith and Courage
Inside the luxury villa of the Hall family in Beckland, Queens. Audrey, who had just returned home from a New Year's party, excused herself from being tired and entered her bedroom.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for streamlining this year's New Year's Ball, otherwise I would have ventured out of Sodrak Palace and to Ossaith Square in Jowood.
"Although Mr. 'Tower' helped me cover at the prom, it shouldn't be much of a problem······ But I really don't want my father and brother to be misunderstood.
After muttering a few words in her heart, Audrey first took a blue cloak and draped it over her body, and then took out a palm-sized notebook from Susie's backpack, the shell of which looked hard and patina-green, which looked quite ancient.
It was the "Lemanor's Magic Book" that she had borrowed from Miss Magician.
Audrey first turned one of the pages, poured the spirit into it, and created an illusion of herself on the bed, just in case.
Then, she flipped a few more pages back, using her ability to "record" to create a "portal".
Then, Audrey took a deep breath and walked through the round gate with the big golden retriever with a backpack on her back.
Ossaith Square is located in the Jowood district, when the "Cathedral of the Holy Winds" was still the headquarters of the Storm Church, the then Pope Ossaius built this square with a capacity of more than 30,000 people, used to hold large religious services.
It has a circumference of about 300 acres, with a towering obelisk in the middle and a fountain on each side.
- 300 acres, which is roughly equal to 45 acres on earth, or 24 acres, 3 hectares.
At this time, the Ossaith Square was already crowded, with about 12,000 spectators pouring in, and about 8,000 people waiting in line. Fortunately, the preparations for "Bryan Film and Television" were very well done, and everyone inside and outside the square was in order, and there was not a single crowding or stampede.
Audrey, who turned on the "psychological invisibility", did not try to squeeze the dense crowd, but relied on the "Lemanor's Magic Book" to take Susie directly to the back of a "lion" statue in the square and sat on it gently.
Condescendingly observed the people who came to watch the movie, Audrey found that they rarely did not have too many sad emotions today, and it seemed that the New Year brought everyone a good mood.
Before you know it, all the audience members have finished entering the venue, and a few minutes later, as the music plays, the main creators of the film take to the stage in front of the big screen to address the audience one by one and say New Year's greetings. "This kind of premiere format seems to have been pioneered by Mr. Ta', which was not the case in previous plays······ I don't see any effect yet, but maybe there is some deep meaning."
As Audrey muttered to herself, all the lights around the square were extinguished······ And with the exit of the main actors, the big screen also lit up, and "Battlefield Rose" officially opened.
Although this story is called "Battlefield Rose", the opening scene of the movie is not about war, but about a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl living happily under the love of her parents and four brothers.
But happiness is always short-lived, and with the sudden outbreak of war, four brothers who work in different fields have gone to the front line and joined the battle.
Then, the bad news came back almost monthly, first the eldest brother, then the third brother, and finally even the news of the fourth brother's death in the hands of the girl.
Her parents fell seriously ill because of this, and they instantly aged a lot.
So, the girl who has liked shooting and fighting since she was a child, and has quite good skills, decided to disguise herself as a man and go to the front line to bring home the only remaining second brother.
Although only a quarter of the movie has been shown here, the content on the screen has a strong resonance in the hearts of most of the audience!
Yes, the kind of person who suffers every day, and is most afraid of the knock on the door, and the bad news of his children, parents, brothers, and lovers, isn't it the people present themselves?
And every father, child, lover who has lost a loved one
, who wouldn't want to emulate the heroine of the movie and bring back their only remaining loved ones?
Feeling this strong resonance in her heart, Audrey instantly understood that the citizens who could get tickets to watch the movie here today were obviously screened by Mr. "Tower", and most of them had similar experiences with the heroine of the movie!
She no longer hesitated, no longer waiting for a better opportunity that might arise at the climax of the film, and bent down to take out a bottle of potion from the leather pouch that Susie the golden retriever was carrying.
The potion floated with countless fragments of light, like the embodiment of the sea of the collective subconscious.
Audrey did not hesitate, and in such a scene, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.
Unlike in the past, where you could experience potions sliding through her throat and into her stomach pouch, Audrey suddenly had an abnormality.
She felt that she could no longer sense her body, and her whole person seemed to be condensed into a mass of thoughts, blending into the illusory sea around her.
This is the first time that she has seen the collective subconscious ocean directly without going through the "island" where her dreams and hearts are located, just like returning to the pre-birth period, to her mother's arms, to the beginning, washed away, disintegrated, and affected by the imprint left by the ancestors of mankind. There was fear, madness, and all kinds of terrible spiritual pollution, and Audrey was difficult to resist for a while, her consciousness faded, and her "figure" swayed and was about to dissolve.
However, the nearby "sea" was not quiet, and the belief in finding her home in the midst of grief deeply affected Audrey's soul, so that she finally came to her senses, skillfully soothed herself, and kept giving hints to remove pollution until she regained her senses.
And family is also the most important belief in Audrey's heart, and she instantly resonates with the "spiritual sea" around her, giving birth to endless "courage".
"Don't give up, don't give up, never give up!" The belief became stronger and stronger, and Audrey recited the oath of the heroine in the movie before departure, and her figure quickly became clear.
"Susie, I made it...
"I've always been worried, worried that I'm going to be more and more affected by potions as I progress through the sequence, becoming more and more aloof, more and more like a mythical creature rather than a human."
Susie looked up a little dazed, only to see the blonde girl next to her eyes shining with the same "brilliance" as the girl in the movie who seemed to be the "sun".
Then she heard Audrey say in her heart:
"But I'm sure now that as long as my belief in protecting my family remains strong, I'll never become like that!
"That's good······
At the same time, in the villa at 28 Kingst Street, Abner's promotion ceremony for the "Queen of Stars" Gardelia has also been completed.
