1805 Mind
A grand birthday party in the frozen garden of the eternal night.
Since it's rarely open to other forces in the Frozen City, the entire Frozen City goes into a carnival when Eternal Night throws a make-up birthday party for his daughter Gladys.
Representatives of the various forces in the city, dressed up to cater to some of the lesser-known fetishes of the Eternal Night, no matter how hideous their original appearance, had a humble and kind smile when they stepped into the frozen garden, and even those who knew that their smile would look more ferocious only kept their faces as low as possible, so as not to be frightened by a certain lady or some naturally timid creature.
On the terrace overlooking the frozen garden, Gladys, dressed in a snow-white dress, was led by her mother, Madame Meredith, with a reserved smile, and after giving just the right amount of thanks with the appearance of the original Northern Alliance, she quickly retreated, much to the disappointment of the guests gathered in the garden square.
It's just that in this environment, no one will make a discordant sound, let alone make a noise because of it, not to mention that when Gladys disappears, the surrounding area of the floating terrace will be closed by a force field barrier, separating the inside and outside.
Although he had been in the frozen city for a long time, Gladys still couldn't get used to the desertion and the evasive and timid gaze around him.
So after leaving the edge of the terrace, she breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her voice and complained. "Mother, why are you making up my birthday party at this time? I'd rather be by your side every day......"
Meredith, dressed in an off-the-shoulder suspender dress, turned her face and glanced at Gladys' delicate and immaculate face for a moment. Then he sighed. "Gladys, it's because Eternal Night wants to release the news that he's about to wake up from his slumber. It's also specially held for Raymond from the wizard plane, so you don't have to pay special attention to it, just stay with me for a while......"
Gladys was a little confused after knowing that the birthday party would be grandly reorganized, and he became more and more confused when he heard this. "Raymond, isn't he done his retreat?"
Meredith, who had smoothed out the strands of hair that was hanging on Gladys's shoulders, showed a hint of concern in her expression. "Yes, it's because he should have surpassed Gracie after the retreat that he was so valued by your father, and maybe he had other thoughts that I don't know......"
"Other...... What is the mind......
Gladys' confusion made Meredith laugh, after glancing at the area covered by the drapery. Only then did he turn his gaze back and smiled. "You're an adult, and there doesn't seem to be a man in the city who can match you, so I really don't know if your father has other ideas......
Gladys' face flushed with a slight hint of amusement, and she stomped her foot and twisted her body around, letting out a loud sigh of disgust.
It's just that in his mind, he can't help but think of the Raymond in the black wizard robe he saw just now, the porcelain girl Anita standing on his shoulder, and the Chaos Plane creature Becky, who is called the 'True Spirit'!
Thin and thin, he looked indifferent, although he had visited his mother Meredith in the Frozen Garden two years earlier. But in Gladys's heart, he never thought that this seemingly ordinary man would have such an intersection with him, could it be that Eternal Night wanted to ...... himself
Thinking of this, Gladys felt her whole body start to burn, and the shyness in her heart finally turned into nameless fear, so that she could not bear to stay here any longer. So after she shook off Meredith, who was holding her, Gladys, with her skirt in her hand, began to trot, quickly disappearing into the place where Eternal Night and her mother Meredith had belonged. Meredith, stunned, was left on the terrace.
Knowing that her daughter's heart was in turmoil, but her own behavior towards the eternal night was also a matter of speculation, Meredith turned her gaze back to the area covered by the veil. Her expression gradually became dazed.
I have found my happiness, although it is slightly different from my judgment before coming to the Far North. But it's been perfect all these years.
Therefore, when her daughter's future entered the scope of her consideration, Meredith found in vain that Eternal Night's attitude on this matter had not been clear.
After reaching the level of being able to look down on all beings in the plane, Eternal Night's attitude towards himself and Gladys could no longer be judged by common sense, so after knowing that Raymond who was meditating in the Ice Crystal Mountain had made a breakthrough that day, what was hidden behind the birthday party that Eternal Night had asked for in vain made Meredith particularly uneasy.
Ay......
It stands to reason that the Terran wizard is a suitable candidate, but is it a little too abrupt for the young Gladys?
The questions that arose in his heart had always left Meredith without an answer, so after refocusing his gaze on the direction in which Gladys had disappeared, the tangled Meredith gradually fell into deep thought, and no longer paid attention to the qiē around him.
And in the area covered by heavy curtains, the eyes of the eternal night sitting on the top were staring at the palm of Raymond's right hand, and there was a thoughtful expression in his expression.
In the palm of Raymond's hand, the energy transformation that he had once performed was being recreated.
The transformation of the basic attributes has been completely revealed, but this time when the wood energy containing the breath of life was transformed into formless and materialless space energy, the eyes of Eternal Night finally showed surprise.
"The nature of energy can be converted, and it is very difficult to convert it into higher energy because of the low energy rules......
Raymond, who converted the wood energy into spatial energy, the energy in his palm was like steam and was wrapped in a force field film, and after he handed it to the eternal night, with his explanation, Gracie, who was sitting on the side, also nodded as if he had realized. "Raymond, is this the power you have?"
"It's not a power, it's just an ability that comes naturally when you master its rules......"
As he spoke, Raymond's fingers dotted above the wine glass in front of him, and the amber liquor in the glass slowly rose, suspended in the palm of his hand and began to condense.
"At first, it is the energy of the water system, but after mastering its essence, it can be changed in a myriad of ways, and even if it changes its properties, it is only a matter of mind turning......
As Raymond spoke, the surface of the amber ice cube that seemed to have been frozen just now shimmered with a metallic luster, and in an instant, a metal block the size of a thumb was dropped on the table by Raymond with a clanging sound.
The eternal night, who took the piece of metal over, pondered for a moment before considering the words and spoke. "The mastery of the essence can achieve such a process, then what the ancestors have should be the mastery of the rules, it seems that there is a deviation from what I imagined before......"
"It's not necessarily a deviation, such rules and essential perceptions are only part of what I know, and I believe there should be other ways and methods......"
Gracie, who was sitting next to Raymond, was also listening carefully like Eternal Night, these belong to the perception and understanding of touching the Ancestral Realm, which is quite rare for the top-level Existence Zài who has been advancing to the current realm for many years.
Even if you can't understand and grasp it for a while, in short, such a favor can be regarded as owed, and the possibility of repaying it is very small.
It's just that why Raymond would say it on an occasion like today, which Gracie doesn't understand.
It's just that since the topic has shifted to this aspect, careful listening and understanding are the most important things, so Gracie, who is not ready to interfere with the continued development of this topic, listens quietly after quietly exchanging glances with Eternal Night...... (To be continued......)
