Are you sure you're really okay? 】

"What can happen?"

Josh picked up another thumb-sized doll, dressed almost the same as the one he had worn to the prom not long ago, and brushed the dust off it with his hand.

So far, he has found several dolls in total.

[I sense that you are depressed and absent-minded. 】

“……”

Josh didn't answer, just remained silent and continued to look for the doll under the rubble.

On the other side of the ruins, Gwen is also looking for the ghost doll that has just participated in the ball.

Gawyn, on the other hand, stood guard in the ruins, on the lookout for attacks from the Black Mist and the undead.

After being pursued by the Iron Regiment and witnessing Josh's strength, even if Josh and Gwen don't look like normal humans, Gavin is willing to take a risk and follow them.

Following them may be in danger of losing their lives, but if you act alone with the big bell behind you, the probability of being haunted by terrible evil spirits is close to 100%!

[Hey, cheer up, isn't it a thousand years?] For the Vastayas, this time was fleeting. 】

[Look at me, I have been sealed in a weapon for seven hundred years, and more than five hundred of them have been spent alone, suffering inhumane torture. 】

[Your little fox is so infatuated, you used the time projection to tell her that you are not dead, are you still afraid that she will empathize and say goodbye? 】

Runicia tries to comfort Josh.

However, she proved to be very good at sarcasm, but she needed a lot of practice when it came to comforting people.

When she said this, Josh's mood was not good, but he was more eager to leave the place of right and wrong, to see his heart, and wait for his thousand-year-old Ahri.

Lunihia also seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate, and simply shut up and stopped talking.

The dreary between the two lasted until Josh rummaged through the debris, found a few more dolls, and asked impatiently, "Have you found the magic core that built the white porcelain castle?" ”

[Walk 20 steps further on, behind that wall.] 】

Josh followed Lunicia's instructions to find a butler doll dragging a tray behind the dusty wall, which was devoid of weeds or creepy creatures.

At the ball, Josh was also seen serving his guests a "cup of tea" glowing blue.

It's just that there was no transcendent blessing at that time, the magic on the scene was chaotic, and the distance was relatively far, and Josh still had to focus on the dance with Gwen, and he didn't perceive it carefully.

[Buried under the soil, although the breath is faint, you should be able to feel it.] 】

Josh uses his magic to peel through the damp dirt, and several of them are matched with the doll's butler tray, and the "toy teacups" that appeared at the dance party come into view.

With such close contact, Josh naturally felt the abnormality instantly.

"The water of life? No...... This is the breath of the World Rune Fragment Life Source?! ”

[It seems that the reason why these dolls can be revived is still a little different from the little dolls. 】

After thinking for a moment, Lunicia analyzed: [Could the dolls here have anything to do with the little dolls? I think they have the same style, they should all be from the queen you said, right? 】

[This place is far away from Helia, but considering that the little doll is also reviving on the beach, there may have been an unprecedented explosion in Helia at the beginning, these dolls were left here with the flow of magic waves, but they were affected by the power of the world's runes, and stored a certain amount of recovery power?] 】

"Pretty much."

It's just that the Holy Haze will be coveted by the black fog, as can be seen from today's encounter.

If these dolls were to recover, with just a trace of the power of the world rune, they would not be able to resist the black fog for too long.

In other words, today's banquet was indeed Gwen's awakening, sensing her breath, and the dolls revived one after another, tailor-made for her.

But...... Why?

Josh's fingers twitched, and he used his magic to pull the doll's teacup up.

As he cleaned the surface of the dirt, he added a little bit of magic to it and fixed it to the tray.

Staring at the doll butler in his palm for a moment, Josh retracted it into the cloth bag around his waist.

At this moment, Gwen from the other side exclaimed, "Josh, come over here!" ”

Josh gathered his thoughts and walked quickly to Gwen's side.

Her harvest was huge, and she found the buried white porcelain castle directly in the dirt, but it only collapsed more than half.

Josh used his magic to dig it out of the dirt completely, revealing a "miniature version" of the castle he had seen not long ago.

It's like the pocket dollhouse that Josh used to see before he crossed over, and that little ones used to play house games.

Even though Kamavia, a thousand years ago, was far less productive than the modern industry on Earth, its workmanship was still not as refined.

"There's no other doll smell here, I've probably found them all."

Josh pulled the doll he found from his pocket and placed it in front of the white porcelain castle with Gwen finding.

There are a host, a butler, a band leader and members, a total of 5 bandmasters, and 20 pairs of male and female couples, and a pair of twin sisters wearing the same dress......

"Looks like it's just right."

"But I have one more ...... here."

Gwen was stunned and showed Josh the male doll in her hand.

It wears a half-cut gold mask with a ribbon, is dressed in grace and luxury, and has a nobleman's sword at its waist, which looks like it is exclusive to the Kamavia royal family.

"Doesn't he have a dance partner? I didn't seem to see him at the prom just now. ”

Gwen was confused, but soon overwhelmed by the deep sadness in her heart, and with teary eyes she turned to Josh and grabbed his cuffs.

"But I used to see him somewhere, memories, dreams, or thoughts of my master...... I can't remember.

"Josh, I feel so much pain......"

[How does this doll look more and more like the infatuated king who caused the curse of ruin? 】

Lunixia's doubts woke Josh up in an instant.

yes, I said why is it so familiar!

This chin, this thin cheeks, the removal of the blindfold, is it not a proper Foyego template?

Josh was silent, but his right hand went down, and through the cold silk glove, he gently grasped Gwen's small hand.

But sad girls always need a shoulder to lean on.

Before Josh could react, Gwen approached and leaned into his arms.

Josh froze, but fortunately he didn't hear Lunicia take the opportunity to tease, so he relaxed a lot, and then fell into deep thought.

This Foyego doll is a symbol of Isolde's love for him.

It seems that Isolde wants to use himself as a model and equip him with an elaborate dance partner, but he has not had time.

Gwen's body holds the fragments of Isolde's soul, so when passing through here, under the influence of the soul breath, these dolls will take the initiative to revive.

They mistook Gwen for Isold and prepared the ball for her, which was a thousand years late......

It's just that Gwen has herself as a dance partner by her side, and the "prince" doesn't have a chance to appear.

Or maybe Gwen made her choice, so Isolde sacrificed her prayer for her sake and didn't let the "prince" appear?

Josh didn't know what to think.

It wasn't until Gwen calmed down that he asked, "What are you going to do with these dolls?" Take them away? ”

Gwen bit her thin lip, her eyes glinting with pleading, and she lightly scratched her fingers at the back of Josh's hand, looking pitiful and offended.

Gwen, who has just recovered from her doll state and inherited the good side of Isolde, has never been in contact with the sinister of human society, and has no scheming, all of which are the outpouring of her true emotions in her heart.

"But, is that okay?"

[Oops...... How is it a little fox who hooks the soul again! Lunicia looked disgusted.

But Josh could still faintly hear it, and she seemed to wish she could help Gwen.

Gwen is so cute, how can there be someone who doesn't like Gwen?

Josh glanced back at Gavin, who was carrying the clock on his back, peeking in this direction from time to time, curious about what was going on.

Upon noticing Josh's gaze, Gavin swallowed and quickly shifted his gaze, pretending to be casual.

"Gavin."

"Yes! I'm here! ”

Hearing Josh's shout, Gawyn couldn't help but snort, and immediately trotted over, smiling and rubbing his hands together.

"Do you have any instructions from your benefactor?"

Josh glanced at the old clock with psychic magic attached to his back, and then pointed to the set of dolls on the ground.

"The clock you found...... It should fit all of this, right? ”

……

……

Because the timeline between the rune war and the current major events is too long, the rune war official has skipped it again and has not described it in detail.

If you write rune wars, you need a lot of original secondary content, and there are not a few familiar heroes, it's too slow, it's not that I don't want to write, and if you write it, it's not friendly to those who are familiar with the background and those who are not familiar with the background, so just skip it......

The follow-up content involving the rune war will be briefly described through Ahri's memories, or the plot will be presented in a serious way, depending on the situation.

There is also a millennium, which is equivalent to Ahri's direct empathy and don't fall in love, the child is someone else's, and the protagonist is green? I stepped on the horse and was speechless.

Let's not say that a thousand years is nothing to the Vastaya people, I haven't written it yet, just give me a hat, y brother?。。

Can you understand the background setting before jumping to conclusions?。。 Ahri is an infatuated person, okay (≖_≖)
