Alice opened her eyes and looked at the endless yellow sand in front of her.

She knew she was in that dream again.

This should be the mysterious world that Claude said.

According to common sense, the average person should be afraid of such dreams.

But Alice was not afraid.

She looked down and saw a group of people barely supporting their bodies walking in the desert.

The cataclysm of the world has begun.

The raging black waters engulfed the islands one by one, catalyzing life on the islands into a myriad of terrifying sea monsters.

Alice stood on a high place and saw this catalytic process with her own eyes.

The sea engulfed the buildings, enveloping all those who had not had time to escape, they tried to struggle, they were wailing, but nothing could stop the sea from dyeing them black.

So, they became puppets of the Black Sea, reaching out from the water, trying to grab their former compatriots who were trying to escape ahead.

In just half a month, half of the world's masters have fallen.

The fallen lord has become the nourishment of the sea, making this terrifying Black Sea even more dangerous.

In the last dream, the body that Alice occupied, known as the Voyeur, also fell under the swallowing of the Black Sea.

However, all that the Black Sea devoured was the remnants of her body and energy that belonged to the Secret Man, and Alice's soul and consciousness were preserved under the protection of the Sacred Spring Fish King's blessing.

Theoretically, without the reliance of dream travel, Alice should not dream anymore.

Yet Alice is here again.

Why is that

Alice was puzzled.

"Because in your heart, you still retain compassion for the human beings of this world." A beautiful female voice came from behind Alice.

Alice immediately turned her head, and a familiar red hair appeared in front of her eyes.

The red-haired girl smiled and said to Alice: "Deep in your heart, you want to save the innocents of this world, and when you fell asleep, your subconscious followed the previous route to this world. The consciousness of this world perceives your presence, it finds you interesting, and it captures your consciousness. ”

"My subconscious." Alice looked at the people fleeing below, they were all powerless mortals, and it was already the limit to be able to walk in the desert.

Escape the sea!

Escape the sea!

That's the only thing that keeps them going.

"Want to save them?" The girl smiled and asked Alice, "Look at your appearance, this continent seems to be the only remaining continent in this world with normal life." ”

Alice subconsciously wanted to agree, but then she thought of the Dawn Continent, the Twilight Legion needed her own support, and Claude also needed her own help to reforge her body.

In that moment, countless excuses flashed through her heart.

I am not a person of this world in the first place, this is just a beautiful misunderstanding, and it is not my responsibility to save this world.

But Alice knew that no matter how good and reasonable such an excuse might be, she would not be able to convince herself.

It was as if she couldn't convince herself to ignore the Twilight Legion.

Some people change their hearts and personalities as their strength and power increase.

But some people don't. - Alice is such a person.

The girl seemed to see Alice's entanglement, and said with a smile: "I may have a good solution, you just need to leave your will, and then come back occasionally to strengthen your will, and that's it." ”

"What. Way? Alice looked at the girl suspiciously.

The girl snapped her fingers, and an undetectable flame appeared on her fingertips.

"Look at it and think in your mind what it would be like if you were saving the world." The red-haired girl said with a smile.

Alice asked warily, "What is this?" ”

Even if she was just a village girl at the beginning, she maintained basic vigilance in the face of Claude, not to mention that now she has some basic understanding of the world of extraordinary powers, so she is naturally more cautious.

The girl tilted her neck, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, you can call it a candle illusion." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Alice stared at the girl, feeling a hint of familiarity, "Have I seen you somewhere?" ”

"Ah, maybe you've seen me in the future." The girl held out her hand and said to Alice in a friendly manner, "You can call me Vivien, thank you for helping me destroy that nasty academy." ”

"Alas??? Vivien? Alice was startled, and then immediately understood where the girl in front of her came from, she lowered her head, but a thought moved, and a notebook appeared in her hand.

This is the Vivien's production notebook that I got at the Rollin School of Magic.

"Uh-huh! This projection was the first candle illusion I made, and I kept it in my production notes as a souvenir. ”

"Hee-hee, looking at the way you look, you've seen the future me." The girl smiled very happily and asked curiously, "Then do you recognize Claude?" ”

"Ah, yes." Alice said.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately approached Alice: "Then I'll follow Claude."

Alice looked at the expectant eyes of the girl Vivien and pursed her lips.

"Ah, aren't they together?" The girl Vivien was a little disappointed, "Obviously, my body already has such great power, but in the end, I couldn't be with Claude?"

Alice was a little confused, she didn't know whether to tell the girl Vivien about her current situation.

"It's so strange that they are so powerful, they should be able to press Claude to the bed." The girl Vivien got rid of the loss, and judging from her words, it seemed that she could sense the existence of the ontology, and perceive and even borrow part of the power of the ontology, "Could it be that something happened in the middle?" Could it be that the winning underwear I prepared was not to Claude's appetite? ”

Alice listened to the words of the girl Vivien, and a stirring in her heart quickly interrupted: "You are together, Claude is even by my side, but for some reason, the two of you are separated, and Claude is planning to find your whereabouts." ”

After a pause, Alice was keenly aware of the essence of what the girl had said before: "Speaking of which, can you perceive your essence?" ”

"That's right."

"She, ah no, you're not dead?" Alice's eyes lit up, although Claude had said many times that Vivien could not have died so easily, but if this kind of clear news was told to Claude, he would be very happy, "Can you sense where she is now?" ”

"Huh? Did my future me die once? The girl Vivien couldn't understand, "It shouldn't be, with such strength, even daylight can't kill me." It can't be that Paris is behind Claude's back to steal me from me, right? ”

Speaking of this, the girl Vivien was a little angry and said, "If that's the case, it's too much! I also promised to make her a candle apparition to fool the Daylight Church. ”

The more the girl Vivien spoke, the more angry she became, and she even raised her fist, but she coughed a little embarrassedly when she felt Alice's gaze.

"Huh? Claude next to you? The girl Vivien suddenly realized something, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then circled around Alice, "Where?" Where is it? ”

"Dear Brother Claude, where are you?" The young girl Vivien lay on Alice's shoulder and sniffed with her nose, as if that way she could smell her sweetheart.

"Have you forgotten? It's just my subconscious. Alice pointed to herself and said.

The girl Vivien blinked, slapped her palm, and then said with some indignation: "Yes! Damn it! The ontology must know that Claude is by your side, and she deliberately didn't wake me up! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Alice grabbed the stubble from the mouth of the young girl Vivien and asked, "Huh? Did Miss Vivien wake you up? ”

"Yes, she sensed your inner hesitation through props, and this hesitation seems to be having an impact on your spirit and will harm your growth, so she thought of me and woke me up again to help you." The girl Vivien's red eyes looked at Alice, as if she was looking at a scarce species, "However, you are really a good person, last time I was in the Rollin Academy of Magic, it was obviously not related to you, and I went up very much to get involved and provoked the Lord of Thunder." ”

"Now, too, this world has nothing to do with you, and you have demons in your heart because you can't help this world." The young girl Vivien looked around Alice and said in amazement, "So much nosy, but it is indeed quite a good match for Claude, and he is also the kind of person who has nothing to do with passers-by who are attacked by evil people and go up to help, although he always says that it is to test the damage of new skills." ”

Wake up again

Alice recalled this sentence in her heart, and then immediately recalled the figure that appeared behind her when she was in the Rollin Academy of Magic, the moment the Lord of Thunder came: "That person turned out to be you." ”

"Ontology, to be exact." Vivien, the girl, said, "That's when she activated me in the notes, and then came through my projection. ”

Alice said heartily, "Thank you." ”

"Hee-hee, this is what you deserve, looking at so many props I made on you, I know that you must be very loved by me." The girl Vivien clasped her hands over her shoulders and nodded very comfortably.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice something, her eyes lit up at Alice, and then she touched her chin and thought about it, still muttering to herself:

"Deeply loved by the body, the props are almost armed to the teeth, obviously afraid that you will be hurt a little, with Claude by your side, isn't it right that your personality is so similar to Claude, and the hair color is not right, can the black-haired father and red-haired mother give birth to a blonde daughter? But if it's not, the ontology's behavior can't be explained."

Alice heard something intermittently, and her head was full of question marks: "That. Any questions? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warm hand run through her bun and ruffle a strand of her hair.

The girl Vivian looked at the blonde hair in her hand and looked at it carefully: "Is your hair dyed?" Was it black or red? ”

Alice laughed and cried, "What are you talking about, Miss Vivien?" ”

"Ahhhh No matter! Hum! Why do the two of them want me, a person from the past, to be entangled in the sins they will create in the future? The girl Vivien scratched her hair haphazardly, and then said to herself, "Forget it, let's get down to business, or you're going to wake up from your dream, although I'm expecting you to wake up, so I can see Claude, and I don't know how Claude is now, if he's still staring at my chest like before." ”

"Huh?" Alice was startled by the presence of the girl Vivien, and forgot what else was going on.

The girl Vivien sighed, and the flame in her hand reappeared: "This, this!" Hurry up and set your candle illusion, so that even if you wake up from your dream, she can continue to move according to your will to stay, according to your settings, so that you don't have to worry about what will happen to the person you protect when you are awake. ”

"Really?" Alice's eyes lit up.

The girl Vivien covered her mouth and smiled, "It's the first time I've seen someone who has to work two jobs in reality and dreams and still be so happy, you're very suitable to go to those magic workshops as an apprentice." ”

Only then did Alice realize the problem: "In this case, my spirit"

If you have to do other things in your dreams, will your body not be able to rest effectively?

"It's okay, although this dream is actually real, but it is indeed a dream for you, although it will not be as effective as other sleep, but basic rest can still be done." The girl Vivian said, "It's a big deal to drink some mental recovery potions, they are all magicians, isn't it normal to stay up late to do experiments?" ”

Alice was relieved and began to set up the Candle Phantom under the guidance of the girl Vivien.

The setting of the Candle Phantom cannot be divorced from reality.

In other words, Alice can't set up a character that surpasses her personal ability, let alone an invincible character who can directly turn over the clouds.

She is now a ninth-order, so the character she can set up is also the ninth-order at the highest.

Although she knew that the strength of the ninth order was far from enough in the current situation that the world was about to be overturned by the sea, Alice always believed that even in the face of great difficulties, it would be irresponsible for herself to surrender without trying.

The setting of Candle Phantom is not as simple as it seems.

The moment she touched the candle flame, information from the whole world poured into Alice's brain, and if it weren't for the help of the girl Vivien, Alice would have died in that instant.

Candle Flame Phantoms can be fabricated out of thin air, but they must be plausible.

So, when setting up Candle Phantom, you have to make a reasonable amount of settings for all the details of the character you're pinching, and this setting must conform to the rules of the whole world.

The higher the Candleflame Phantom identity you insert, the more complex the amount of information you'll have to process.

If you want your Candleflame Phantom to become Emperor, you'll have to deal with a stream of information that even Vivien herself can't handle.

"So, the easiest way is to set your identity as an orphan." "In this case, you don't need to set up her relatives at all, you don't need to set up the emotional connection between her and her parents. It's like writing, if the protagonist has parents, if you don't mention your parents in the later plots, the reader will definitely say that your protagonist is unkind, and the plot of the parents is not easy to write, so it's better to be set as an orphan. ”

"Nope."

"Huh?" The girl Vivien was stunned, and Alice's answer made her completely unexpected.

"I need a fief." Alice looked at the refugees below and said with certainty, "A fief that can contain refugees." ”

"Then you need to be a very high nobleman." The girl Vivien said to Alice very seriously, "Do you know the amount of editing in this identity? Probably will break your soul. ”

Alice hesitated.

It's not about his own life or death, but that if he dies, he thinks that if he dies, will he hurt Claude.

The girl Vivien sighed, raised her head and rubbed Alice's head: "Forget it, I'll help you." ”

With her help, Alice began to edit her new identity.

Name: Finsisti Josephine Leonis.

Identity: Daughter of the Leonis family.

Background: The daughter of the Leonis family, unwilling to bear the fate of marriage and practice swordsmanship, at the age of eight received the guidance of the fairy of the lake (played by Andoli), and became a famous knight at the age of thirteen, and the most ferocious monsters are trained to obey.

At the age of fourteen, he left his family to embark on a knightly trial (process omitted).

She accidentally gained the remaining powers of the Voyeur (process omitted).

At the age of eighteen, she completed the Trials of Knighthood, after which the sea began to churn and the world began to fall apart.

Now she is ready to return to her hometown and inherit her title of nobility and fiefdom.

"That's it!" The girl Vivien clapped her little hands and said.

It was a very tedious and exhausting job, and even with the help of the young girl Vivien, Alice's face turned pale.

"Well, I think you're running out of it." The girl Vivien hugged the crumbling Alice and said, "After you control the phantom to contact this group of refugees, you can really sleep for a while, and for the rest of the work, your phantom will act according to the enthusiastic personality you set." ”

"Thank you."

"Hee-hee." The girl Vivien grinned and said with some excitement, "Hurry up and sleep, I can see Claude then." ”

As she spoke, she was a little shy, and a little expectant, and muttered, "When the time comes. Do you want to do something bad? ”

However, before she could carry out her plan, she found that the power given by her body was rapidly fading.

Without the support of the ontological power, as the first candle flame phantom, she could only exist independently for a short time.

The girl Vivien didn't know what she meant?

Pouting his mouth, he muttered to himself very unhappily: "Bastard himself, even his own vinegar has to be eaten!" Claude is so, if you open a harem, you don't want to be! ”

There is a problem with the model drawn by AI, and I don't know why, no matter what model I change, the drawing is blurry.

The illustration is for Vivian, a girl from the academy period, drawn by AI, for reference only.
