Chapter 573: Stars

When Sissi regained her sight again, she was no longer in the courtyard of the villa.

The warm sea breeze fluttered in her hair, and in the sound of the waves, she saw a full moon falling on the ground.

She quickly reacted to the fact that there was a clear and calm lake in front of her, reflecting the stars in the sky and the full moon.

The fragrance of flowers all around is blowing in the face, and at a glance, under the bright silver light, there is a beautiful sea of flowers.

At the end of the sea of flowers, there are colorful trees, and under the trees, there is a villa that is not too big.

Grass, lakes, flowers, woods, wooden houses, and distant forests all make up a beautiful ink painting.

Sissi fell in love with this place at first sight.

She walked a few steps slowly, and just as she saw a beautiful cluster of red primrose flowers standing on one side, she immediately noticed that the lovely gentian grass there had small blue flowers, and on top of it there was a large patch of delicate golden cistus with delicate petals, and they smiled and nodded in the moonlight.

This field of colorful flowers swaying in the wind directly captivated her.

A breeze blew, and with the sound of the grass rustling, the fragrance of flowers refreshed people's hearts.

"I think I've been here before." Sissi muttered softly.

She looked up at Char, "What's the name of this place?" ”

"Avalon." Char said.

Sissi repeated the name, "What a nice name, King Arthur's ideal home?" ”

Char smiled, "King Arthur really lived here. ”

Sissi raised her eyebrows and looked at Char.

Char, on the other hand, pointed to the lake, "where he used to wrestle with his lions. ”

"What does he have to do with you?" Sissi asked.

"I'm his teacher." Char said, "But if you count it by blood, he should be your uncle." ”

"Uncle?" Sissi lowered her head, "I never knew I had any other family. ”

"You've got quite a few." Char smiled, "I'll always see you later." ”

"Come with me." He said.

So saying, he walked forward up the hillside to the villa on the hillside.

Sissi glanced back at Lisa, who smiled, "I'll overhaul Grace, you can follow." ”

Sissi nodded, and followed quickly, but she walked very carefully, lest she trample on the flowers.

There were other creatures on the grassland, and Sissi saw some majestic horses, cattle and sheep, all of them in good spirits, grazing with their heads bowed.

The road is not too close, but the sea of flowers along the way and the fragrance of flowers brought by the refreshing sea breeze make you feel happy, so it doesn't feel particularly far.

Sissi followed Char's side, and if he walked slowly, she would also slow down a few steps, just parallel to him.

She would sneak a glance at the strange and familiar man beside her.

My side face is more like his, Sissi thought to herself.

As if sensing that Sissi was looking at her, Char turned her head and smiled lightly.

"What are you looking at?"

Sissi hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and after a moment she said, "Why are you white-haired, and I'm not?" ”

Char raised her eyebrows.

"I used to be dark-haired." Char turned his head and said, "Your mother used to be too. ”

"Mother?" Sissi's heart beat slightly.

Many years ago, when she was very young, she always felt as if she had forgotten something, and there was always a gap in her heart.

But she couldn't think of anything anyway.

But after Char uttered the word "mother", Sissi felt as if something had struck her heart, and the gap was touched.

"Is she still there?" Sissi asked softly.

While they were talking, they were already at the door of the villa.

Char lifted her hand and put it on the doorknob, then opened the door.

Walking up a flight of stairs, they entered the interior of the villa.

The interior of the villa has not changed for hundreds of years, and some of the furniture and tableware are still from hundreds of years ago. It is well preserved under the protection of magic.

Sissi followed Char in and looked around.

Compared to the mansion she lived in before, the interior of this villa is naturally not particularly good, but it has nothing like the mansion she lives in.

A sense of warmth, something called life gas.

Tablecloths spread out on the table, neat cupboards, paintings hanging on the walls, sofa cushions on the sofa, and flower arrangements placed on the table.

Everything is full of life.

Sissi felt that she should have been here in the past, because the things here were so familiar and strange to her, as if. Seen in dreams.

Sissi walked into the room, looked around, and then focused on a painting hanging in the living room.

The painting depicts a starry sky full of movement and change. The night sky is high and far, large stars and small stars swirl in the night sky, the golden full moon forms a huge whirlpool, and the short lines of the nebula are tangled and swirling, as if people can see the passage of time.

Her eyes were directly attracted by this painting, and she stopped here for a long time.

After a moment, Sissi turned her head and asked curiously.

"Who painted this painting?"

"A friend, but he's no longer alive."

"What's your name?"

Char thought back for a moment, "It seems to be called. Van Gogh? ”

Sissi opened her eyes, turned her head sharply to look at the painting hanging on the wall, and said incredulously.

"This is a Van Gogh painting?"

"That's right." Char laughed, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know how much a Van Gogh painting sells for now?" Sissi said excitedly, "One painting can buy my villa twice!" ”

"Is that so?" Char raised his head and looked at the painting and sighed, "Then it looks like he's famous."

"You know him well?" Sissi asked curiously.

"Well, I talked to him all night and drank some wine. He was a very gifted man, but unfortunately people at the time did not understand his art. Char said.

Sissi nodded, she looked at the painting and said, "I actually don't understand, in my opinion, this is an oil painting that some children can paint, but his painting is very expensive." Still."

She looked at the starry night and whispered, "I can understand when I see this painting, the world in his eyes does have a different kind of beauty." ”

Char smiled, "Do you want to go to the place where this painting is?" ”

Sissi turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, "How to get there?" ”

Jingle bell~

The turntable above the gate as they entered rang a crisp bell.

Then, she was drawn to the whistling sound coming from the window.

Outside the window, it was no longer the sea of flowers of the peninsula, but an endless sea of clouds.

The soft full moon casts a silvery glow over the white clouds, revealing endless coldness.

Sissi approached the window in some confusion. She found that they were no longer on earth, but in heaven.

The house had been transformed into a massive mechanical structure, with wings made of canvas on both sides, but the full extent of the mechanical structure was not visible here.

"It's actually very close to Lake Selim." Char said, "So it shouldn't be long before it arrives." ”

"Is this a movable house?" Sissi's eyes lit up.

She has been moving all her life and has never had a stable place to live, so naturally, she has developed the habit of not deliberately decorating the house.

That's why she thinks the house is very lively, something she didn't have in the house she used to live in.

Very early on, she dreamed of a house that could move with her.

In this way, she no longer has to go to familiar and unfamiliar houses, and she can see a lot of scenery.

That's why she loves the frigate so much, because it's the perfect fulfillment of her dreams.

But unexpectedly, this house is much more perfect than the warship.

It's more comfortable, warmer and more homely.

"Pretty much." Char laughed.

Sissi leaned against the window, wanting to get a closer look at the castle. She saw some dirt, wood, and steel, and vaguely a chimney belching with smoke.

"What's its powertrain?" Sissi asked curiously.

Char pointed to the fireplace.

Sissi turned her head to look at the fireplace. The orange flame on the hearth was burning with firewood and crackling.

Nowadays there are many houses that do not have fireplaces anymore because of the environmental protection regulations of the imperial capital. Many houses are mostly heated collectively in winter.

However, Sissi actually prefers this kind of house with a fireplace, which is warmer and more lively.

Just as Sissi was staring at the flame on the fireplace, she saw that the flame suddenly opened her eyes, and even showed a mouth.

Cassifer winked at Sissi, "Long time no see, kid. ”

Sissi's sudden appearance startled Sissi. But fortunately, although she doesn't look big, she is actually more than a hundred years old, so she accepts everything quickly.

"His name is Cassifer, and he's a demon." Char said, "Of course, he is very friendly, and the energy of the entire castle is provided by him. He also provides hot water, so you can call him if you want to take a bath. ”

Sissi nodded, she looked at Cassifer curiously, "Have we met before?" ”

"Of course." "You used to talk to me a lot, and you like to tell me a story with a book." Your mother used to like to do that. Sometimes you'll pour me a drink. ”

After a pause, he muttered, "Of course only you could understand that beer is actually non-flammable."

"I'm sorry." Sissi said.

"It's not gone." Cassifer waved his hand,

"Take you to a place." Char spoke softly on the side.

He led Sissi open a door under the stairs, revealing a staircase that went down.

Sissi followed Char down the stairs.

They passed a break room and pushed open a double door.

Behind the door was a library, a large library, with a tall roof, the floor was also covered with marble, and the soft orange light cast from the ceiling, like a royal library.

Rows of coffee-colored solid wood bookshelves are neatly arranged in parallel, and the bookshelves are neatly placed with books of various colors, and the fragrance of books is permeated.

Sissi opened her eyes, she would never have imagined that there would be such a large boundary under this seemingly small room.

"I thought you'd be happier." Char said.

Sissi raised an eyebrow.

"You used to love to read." Char added.

"I used to love it." "But I read a lot of books. ”

"There are a lot of books here that you can't see in the world." Char said.

Sissi looked around, the bark of these books was very similar, it looked like it should be made uniformly, and it looked very comfortable to distinguish it with different colors.

The names written on the spine she had never seen before, all related to magic. She saw a book about the Demon Illustrated Book.

After that kind of disaster, she really developed some interest in demons.

Char continued to go deeper, and Sissi followed him.

At a glance, she saw the wonders of the deep sea behind her desk.

Behind the glass is the deep sea of the peninsula, where countless glowing schools of fish roam, and even whales, revealing the world of the ocean up close to her eyes.

Her eyes shone brightly.

She'd been to the beach and swam before, but she'd never seen anything under the sea.

Of course, she didn't think there would be glowing fish in this world, so it must have been magic that played a role.

"Aren't we in the air?" Sissi asked curiously, "Why do you see the bottom of the sea here?" ”

"It's a moving castle controlled by Cassifer in the air." Char said, "For magic, the boundaries of time, space, reality, and illusion can actually be non-existent. ”

Sissi seemed to understand something, and nodded.

Soon, though, she found a glowing stone that had been placed behind her desk.

The material of this stone is very strange, it is pitted, like the moon, but it is shining.

"It's a star. Char said, "I plucked it from heaven for you." ”

His words were calm, as if he had bought her a lollipop when he went out.

Sissi opened her eyes and looked at the strange stone in astonishment.

To be honest, in her vague memory, or rather, she had vaguely dreamed of it.

But because it was so outrageous, Sissi felt that it must be just a dream.

But she never thought that what seemed the most outrageous thing might be the most real thing

"This thing didn't light up before." Char said, "But you kept saying that it wasn't the stars that didn't shine, so I added some magic to it, and now it's the night light here." ”

After a pause, he commented, "It works well. ”

"You can sit down here." Char said.

Sissi heard what Char meant, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go pick up someone." Char said.

He smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

Sissi was silent for a moment, she looked at Char, "I thought you would have a lot to say to me. ”

"There's still a long way to go." Char said calmly, "We have a lot of time to talk, don't we?" ”

Sissi didn't say anything more, just turned her head to look at the "star" and was silent.

And Char waved his hand, and directly turned into countless lights and shadows and disappeared in place.

Sissi looked around, then walked to the bookshelves, found a demon book from the shelf, went to the desk, and sat down in the chair.

The chair is very comfortable, and as soon as you lean up, the cushion on the back sinks in.

Books open like birds flapping their wings, and a whole new world is gradually revealed in front of her eyes. (End of chapter)
