Chapter 229: Nightmare
A pair of dark brown eyes looked at me earnestly, and their eyes were bright and intense, as if they had juice hidden in them, and they would splash out with the slightest blink of an eye.
I subconsciously dodged backwards a little, I don't know if I want to see the whole picture of the other person, or I can't bear this eager gaze, maybe, I just feel guilty - I seem to owe something to the person in front of me.
She turned behind her and called, "Lookout, come quickly, Meiyi is awake!"
Watchtower?
A few paces away, I noticed a tall man standing by the window, in a red robe, with his hair in a bun.
He slowly turned around and walked over to me.
I stared at his face in silence, my skin was whiter than snow, and my eyes were cold, like a frozen plant, and my body was cold.
Suddenly, my heart slackened, and my face relaxed—I had returned! Back to the Red Fortress of the Holy Family, back to the room where I had slept soundly for sixteen years, back to the Lord and the Lady!
"Meiyi, you're finally awake!" the adult called me aloud, with a slight smile on his face and his eyes as quiet as ever.
I didn't bother to greet the two of them, I turned my head to look around, this familiar room, somehow, became cramped and cramped, and I was only away for a few days. But that's not the point, I found that there was no fourth person in this room except me, my lord, and my wife.
What about the others?
What about my brother, what about the sea, what about forgetting to speak, and Luoying, Jicheng, and even Kazama, why don't you see any of them?
Little by little, memories come back.
I remember that the water in the lake was so great that the air sacs were bursting, and there was nowhere to stay, and I ordered the Spirit Wings to take me and the others away and join my brothers, and before I could see my brother, I had a nightmare for no reason, in which the dead Zixia, Xiao Nai, the green snake and the elf Xiao Jiao came back to life, but they died again, in a hand that pierced through the dark clouds, and then ...... Then, I screamed and woke up in this bed in the Red Warrior Castle.
"Madame......" I stood up and called urgently, after all, my sister had suffered a lot of sins along the way, and Madame loved her the most, and if Madame knew them one by one, she would be distressed.
"Watchtower, you...... Do you hear that?" Madame looked up at the adult with a look of surprise in her voice: "As soon as she woke up......, she knew that I was her wife! Sixteen years!" said that, at the end, there was a hint of choking in her voice.
The adults looked at me with straight eyes and a calm expression, but they couldn't seem to hide the faint joy in the corners of their eyes.
Madame immediately turned her face to me, and a layer of tears appeared in her dark brown eyes, and before the tears could fall, she reached out and tried to touch my cheek to express her excitement.
This...... That's a bit too much.
I glared at the two of them, straightened my neck and dodged back: Are the adults and the lady working together? On the day of my brother's 900th birthday, I woke up, and I had already introduced and recognized you one by one; I went to the Holy Star Fort to participate in the sacred ceremony to witness my sister's transformation from a human to a blood clan; then I offended the Holy King, the Holy King abdicated, finalized the candidate for the king, and arranged for me to study and exercise with me; in the end, it was the Lord and the Lady who personally sent me and Huahai on the train. At this moment, they actually made a surprise gesture that I woke up from sleep, what are they going to do?
"Since you know Madame, you must know who I am. The lord was not as happy as the lady, but the tone was much gentle.
"Alas......" I sighed heavily, sat up straight from the bed, looked up at the two people in front of me, straightened my expression, and said crisply: "Of course I know, you are the adult of my Holy Clan's Red Fortress, your name is 'Wanglou', I know that you are more than 2,000 years old; I also know that the Holy King of the Holy Clan lives in the Holy Star Castle, he is not a human being, he is not even the same as you Blood Clan, he is covered in black robes, just to cover up ......"
"Shut up!" exclaimed the lord in a deep voice, his face clear, and I swear I saw a chill spilling out of his mouth.
Madame stood beside the bed, her face slightly drooping, her square jaw line, delicate and pleasant, and the long braids that had been wound from the back of her head to her chest at some point, made her beauty look a little tired.
She blinked, and I was in a trance for a moment, did her thick and full eyes finally break?
She stared at me fixedly, then lowered her eyelids, and I didn't have a chance to confirm it. But I saw a heavy, bright sadness on her face that reminded me of a sunset one evening.
They're acting.
Why would they put on such a play?
"I can't keep my mouth shut, please don't act in front of me, please tell me, where is my brother? Where is the sea of paintings? Why did I wake up in the Red Fortress? Tell me quickly, I'm going back, with them!" I said softly, firmly, thinking irrevocably of a man's name—and him, how was he?
Oh, forget the words, forget the words...... The name tossed and tormented in my heart, like a knife that had been left behind by somebody, stirring and stirring gently and tirelessly......
"Could it be that sixteen years of sound sleep is just a disguise?" The adult was finally displeased, his expression was cold, his eyes were cold, and there was no longer temperature in his voice: "Meiyi, I don't care if you are really asleep or fake sleeping, I don't care about what you say, let me tell you clearly, we have raised you for 16 years, and we have waited for you for 16 years! Today, you have finally woken up, of course I hope that your brother and sister can also be by your side and our family to share this moment, but ......"
"So, where did my 'brother' and 'sister' go?" I calmly interrupted.
"The Holy King of my Holy Clan deliberately abdicated and elected a candidate for the new king, and your sister was among them," Madame's eyes regained their clarity, looked at me, and said softly: "And your brother, Chuanyun, as a candidate for the king appointed by the Holy King, accompanied the three candidates for the new king......"
"'Peer', where are you going?" I asked.
"That is the Holy King's order, ordering the candidates for the new king to retrieve five things from this world as one of the criteria for the new king's victory......" Madame told the truth.
Madame did not lie, and I was delighted.
"What about me? Didn't I go with them?" I met my lady's face, and my voice was full of anticipation—I believe in my memory, perhaps...... Maybe the adults and the lady are joking with me?
"You?" said Madame, who had reached out her hand, and at last her hand stroked my hair, and whispered to me in a gentle but noble voice, "Of course you can't go, and who told you not to wake up earlier? ”
