122. The Power of Dallas Gonne (5k)
"Really? It sounds like there are a lot of interesting things in college, but where did you live at the time, with your classmates? ”
"It's a classmate, but he wasn't in the same college as me, he studied business, which was a new and popular college at the time, and many wealthy families wanted their children to study magic, and occasionally learn a little philosophy and humanities."
After watching the huge winged whale, Valentina and Fisher walked along the seashore together, perhaps because the way she learned about the North Ocean was through the photos her mother gave her, and the scenery of the ocean next to her was always repeated, like a repetition of a scene that was constantly overlapped, so that Fisher kept his eyes on Valentina, who was walking not far in front of her with her hands behind her back.
She didn't run anymore, talking to Fisher about the past, and if you look at Fisher behind, you will see that her fair cheeks and ears are stained crimson, which is why she didn't walk with Fisher.
The young and immature Valentina, in front of the noisy scene just now, perhaps because of a certain sentence in Fisher's mouth, or perhaps because she saw his handsome face, under the push of emotion, she suddenly and impulsively kissed Fisher, who was quite fond of her.
Obviously, she had never done such an intimate act before, she had never even held hands, but at this time, she made a rather impulsive action, she may have just kissed to the point of being shy to death, so she didn't even dare to listen to Fisher's response to her name, for fear that his extremely flustered appearance would be discovered by him.
But after all, impulsiveness is the prerogative of young people, the kind of appearance that is driven by emotions without thinking or criticized or praised by others, Fisher, who had not yet graduated at the time, dared to scold Damian at the graduation ceremony for giving him a degree certificate, and even Elizabeth, who had no last resort, tasted the forbidden fruit of kissing with Fisher because of impulsiveness when she was a student
Therefore, Fisher, who did not suffer at all at this time and was just enjoying it, decided not to comment, just pretended not to know that Valentina was too shy to look at herself now, and kept quietly following her behind her back and chatting with her.
"School of Magic, so you and Queen Elizabeth also met when they were in college? Did she study magic too? ”
"No, she's studying in the military academy."
"Oh, I didn't expect to be together without being in the same academy, it's amazing."
“.”
Fisher, who had just looked quite relaxed, slowed down a little, apparently not expecting Valentina to suddenly mention Elizabeth.
Also, she should have known that her relationship with Elizabeth was not ordinary when she was in Nari before, but at that time she didn't get to the bottom of it because of her respect for herself, and at this time the relationship between the two went further, she was very honest with herself, and of course she hoped to know more about Fisher.
Hearing that Fisher behind him didn't reply, Valentina, who was kicking the ice on the ground with her hands behind her back, turned her head in disgust, looked at him looking at her expression and sighed, and said with a smile,
"Why don't you speak, I don't care who you had a relationship with before, even if you do, it's not now, it's just asking. After all, I haven't been to school either, so I'm a little envious of the feeling of being in love while studying in college, and I know that it's a precious memory for you or her, even if it's a person now, you won't easily throw it away, right? Rest assured, I don't take these things to heart. ”
"Thank you."
Because of Fisher's invisible but rather careful care, after this time of small talk, the extremely conspicuous crimson on her face finally faded a little, but Fisher did not feel relaxed at all when she heard Valentina's gentle words, but could not speak at all.
Valentina seemed to feel that she had only been in a relationship with Elizabeth.
Fisher followed her steps without showing his face, and soon came to her side, it didn't matter if there were Emhardt who had been beeping bad things, not to mention that there were only two people alone now, Valentina didn't notice Fisher's inner thoughts at all, and only carefully converged her steps with Fisher beside her.
They walked quietly for a distance, until Fisher was about to say something, when he suddenly heard something, a crisp sound like glass shattering one after another, and it came from nowhere.
"Click!"
Fisher and Valentina's footsteps stopped at the same time, but unlike Fisher's looking around, Valentina seemed calm, she gently patted Fisher's shoulder to make him focus on herself again, and then she pointed to the sky and said,
"The magic is failing, Fisher, be careful, relax, don't get up and knock my tent down."
Before Fisher could reply, he felt the scenery around him crumble and shatter little by little, and the next second, he immediately felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot, from the warmth of the sun to the cold of the Mia night, and his vision was filled with darkness again, only the gasps of Valentina beside him remained.
"Valentina?"
In the darkness, he spoke softly.
"Well, I'm here, are you okay? I was in a daze for a long time when I saw you enter the magic just now, and I was really not used to using the magic that my mother gave me at first. ”
The bed in the tent was simple, and the stout Fisher and the petite Valentina looked a little crowded when they were lying together, but they didn't cover the futon just now, and Fisher was worried that she would feel cold, so he didn't get up rashly, but just replied,
"I'm fine"
Hearing Fisher's voice, Valentina smiled slightly, she lay straight on the bed, hesitated for a moment and gently stretched out her cold hand to Fisher next to her, and put it on his lower abdomen,
"When I was a kid, I loved to go here and play there, and I had to stay until the magic energy I released was exhausted. The older I get, the less time I spend going in, and then I don't go in at all, and if it weren't for the desire to take Fisher to see what was in my mind, I probably wouldn't have used this magic again. ”
Fisher turned his head to look at the magic pendant she was holding in her hand, the pendant with a faint pink glow on it looked very warm, but he soon found that the perpetual magic crest on it had become very faint, and it was estimated that it would be scrapped after a few more uses, just like his magic wand in the Southern Continent, so he asked,
"Is it because the coat of arms is about to expire, if you want, you can study it for me, and then I can engrave it for you."
But Valentina shook her head when she heard this,
"No, it's not because the magic is about to fail, but you see, in the dream of magic, I am a whole person, and I can experience the feeling of running and moving freely in it, which is what I have always dreamed of. But since it's a sweet dream, there must be a time to wake up, like now."
"It is often said that if you don't give a person light, you don't know what darkness is. After experiencing such a beautiful feeling, and then returning to the cold reality, that sense of disparity is enough to drive a person crazy. I've heard that there are many addicts addicted to illegal drugs in the Western Continent, but how can they not fall into the abyss of destruction? ”
Her voice became calm again, but Fisher, who had night vision, clearly found that her eyes had been looking at her legs, there, now, she didn't feel anything, as if she had been cut in two by a blade, and only occasionally there was an unbearable phantom pain, as if she was going to be embedded in a wheelchair,
"So, since a long time ago, I rarely go into dreams, because it will give me a choice, when I can't stand the torture of genetic diseases or are overwhelmed by other stresses, I'm afraid I'll really stay in my dreams and never want to wake up, but if so, it will make me live up to the kindness of others, and I don't want that."
"Valentina."
"I know, I know, you're going to say what you said before, right?"
Valentina seemed to want to turn sideways and face Fisher beside her as in a dream, but when the lower half of her body was as iron as she could not move, she was stunned for another second, and her upper body returned to a flat position,
"I understand, don't get me wrong, the things I did in my dreams were just to repay you for your kindness to me. I'm just happy because you're still with me, so when you ask me if I have any desire to give everything for, I think it would be nice if I could actually run and fight with you like that in reality. ”
"I see."
As she spoke, Fisher next to her suddenly sat up from the bed, so frightened that Valentina suddenly reached out and covered her body, for fear that Fisher next to her would rise up and fulfill the prophecy she had seen in the ice
But Fisher didn't do that, he just looked back at Valentina and held out his hand to her,
"In that case, I'll definitely take you to the Sycamore Tree, but the journey won't be easy, there's a terrifying enemy waiting for me to deal with, and there's a good chance we'll both die as a result."
"Is it the Nari who are hunting you, or is it some curse?"
"Neither, don't worry about that, just leave it to me."
Fisher was talking about the secretary of life named "Earwinder", originally he thought that the level of life would probably catch up with Earwinder and be able to fight him, but before that, even one of his creations made him need a lot of high-ring magic to deal with, although there were other factors to interfere, but so far, Earwind's body has not been fully attacked
And he, only one step away from the mythical rank.
So far, Fisher has never really seen the appearance of a mythical rank battle, Elliog only had a fourteenth-order soul when he appeared, and Xuan Shen only had a relationship with himself, and of course he couldn't really pay attention to the means of high-level creatures that appeared in ancient times that could be called "mythical" by humans, and Fisher could only deal with Earwin with the worst plan.
Now he doesn't have much magic materials to prepare for magic, with the curse of the sycamore tree in front of him, Elizabeth and the Turan family chasing soldiers in the back, he has to take the disabled Valentina to face the ambush of Earwind, and he has to climb the endless life-forbidden Sema Snow Mountain without any equipment
"It's getting late, get some rest, and you'll be preoccupied with good night from tomorrow morning, Valentina."
Fisher sat on Valentina's bed, the pressure on his body heavier than ever, but he spoke to Valentina in as relaxed a tone as he could, and he immediately stood up, ready to leave Valentina's tent to rest.
The conditions here are too simple, the sound insulation effect is equal to nothing, and it is estimated that before it officially started, it was rushed in and beaten by Hedilyn, who lived next door to Valentina. Moreover, Valentina has done a good job today, such a bright girl in her dreams, he does not want to tarnish her feelings for himself in order to vent her desires, even at this moment.
"Wait, this is for you"
Fisher turned his head to look, but saw Valentina hand him the necklace engraved with the magic of "Sweet Dream", and the pink light on it was dense, which immediately attracted Fisher's attention.
"Are you sure that isn't what your mother left you?"
Valentina didn't return her hand, but said with a smile,
"It's okay, it won't be used a few times anyway, and my mother has left me a lot of things, and I keep them properly. And I've found something better than 'sweet dreams.'"
Fisher in the darkness was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly, and reached out to pick up the pendant that was still stained with her body temperature from her hand,
"Then it's better to be respectful, thank you."
"Good night, Fisher."
Fisher didn't say anything more, but just draped the futon of the snow fox next to her, which seemed to be made of some kind of animal hair, so it was quite heavy, and covered her just right, revealing only her small head, which should be enough to keep her warm at night.
Then Fisher turned away from her tent, and walked back to her tent in silence, and on her bed, Emhardt, who had fallen asleep, was not snoring, but sat up quickly when she heard the sound of the door, and lay down again after seeing Fisher's figure, and murmured,
"Then the little girl of the Turan family was persuaded by you to go back to sleep? Why didn't you go for so long, you won't do anything bad with her, oh, no, you do what I know, how can you come back in a few hours."
"Shut up and sleep."
"Yes, yes, ouch, you're still holding the things that people gave you and coming back to sleep, what do I see, pendant? Oh, a token of love, wait for me to put her name on the list a little bit more precedent, I think. Oops! ”
Fisher lay down beside Emhardt, and was so distraught by his chirping that he clutched himself under the covers to prevent him from speaking again.
But at this time, he really didn't feel sleepy, the girl's appearance, and the dangers that were coming during the day made it a little difficult for him to sleep, so he simply didn't bother to sleep again, and concentrated on studying the strange magic that Valentina had just given him.
He turned the strange magic crest on it, and as he thought back to the details of the strange state he had just entered with Valentina, he fixed his gaze on the beginning of the magic.
It was a very strange magic ringhead, composed of two parts, the upper and lower parts, on the top was an upside-down figure-of-eight symbol, like a strange figure of a paper strip twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, spliced together, with only one side, and the rule symbol below he recognized, was the [World] ringhead, a kind of low ring head that was less widely used.
And the faint pink light burst out from between the upper and lower symbols, and the part that seemed to really take effect was formed on one side of the upper and lower parts respectively, and combined with the experience of his soul entering the dream just now, Fisher suddenly understood what the meaning of this ring was.
When he entered Valentina's dream before, he felt very magical, because he had also entered that place when he left St. Nari, but at that time he and those demons had entered with physical bodies, so he did not appreciate the nature of it at all
Yes, there is a gap between the spiritual world and reality.
I still remember that when Fisher was studying the Soul Supplement Manual, he was a little curious about this strange nature of the gap, and did not know its specific function, but now Fisher can roughly come to a rough conclusion.
In the spiritual world, there are turbid souls, except for a few distinct "stars", they are all chaotic and cannot be sorted out, but in the real world, everyone's consciousness is clear and independent, these are two extreme states, this transformation is not achieved overnight, but requires an excessive buffer zone.
According to Caleb Uzi, the spiritual realm does not belong to the forbidden place interfered with by any god, so Dallasgon's duty is actually not only to act as a door, but the gap between the world and the spiritual world is the rule of his creation, a tool for translating the chaos of the spiritual world, and the specific manifestation is in consciousness, which is somewhat similar to the [subconscious] or [dream] state of consciousness between waking and chaos.
The strange ring head created by Valentina's mother is to pry the reverberations of the world, allowing the soul of the subject to temporarily leave the body and enter this intermediate state, and based on the translation rules formulated by Dallas Gon, what he and Valentina constructed with their souls in their dreams is also in between.
It has the appearance and nature of the real world, but it can only have an effect on the soul, if a soul is strong enough, he can even create a very complex and complex creation out of thin air in the cracks, but the magic power consumed is too great, and it will cause very serious damage to the soul, no wonder Valentina reminds herself not to construct creatures, because that means that you have to use the soul to construct another conscious soul, which may need to pry the consciousness in the spirit world.
Fisher gasped, his previous impression of the god Dallasgun was completely "gatekeeper", and it seemed very low-level to the gods mentioned by Ramastia or several other Caleb Uzi in the manual, and only now did he realize that Dallas Gon's power was very exaggerated.
The feeling of finding knowledge was exhilarating to Fisher late at night, and he loved to study all the magical structures, refusing to miss even the slightest detail, until finally, he poetically gave the ring a name "Dream" to commemorate the wonderful journey with Valentina tonight
And Emhart, who was beside him, originally wanted to wait for him to sleep together, but seeing that he was fascinated by the study of magic, he was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it, so he sighed, quietly got into his arms and fell asleep alone.
Fisher glanced down at him and patted him helplessly, but he didn't move him away.
