Chapter 50: The Story (Part II)
Hours have passed since arriving in this strange but familiar world, but the sun in the sky still shows no signs of moving.
This lifeless world didn't bring too many surprises to Anne, as for the girl...... She seems to know a lot about the world, as she said earlier...... But at the same time, the words she said were inexplicable.
The girl pondered more this time than the previous times combined. And Anne, too, showed unprecedented patience at this moment.
Time passed imperceptibly as Anne waited. Just as Anne couldn't help but open her mouth to remind her again, the girl's face suddenly changed, and then, she stood up and looked at the outer gates of Blackthorn Castle.
“...... What's wrong?" Anne followed the girl's gaze, but found nothing unusual.
"It's nothing, let's talk somewhere else...... Someone...... Here it comes. The girl replied indistinctly, and then lightly stomped on the ground with the heel of her shoe.
"Wait, who is that person you are talking about......" Anne was about to open her mouth to ask after hearing the crisp sound of her heel hitting the stone floor, but found that the scene before her eyes began to become illusory again, and when the unreal finally returned to reality, she found herself in the study of Blackbrazind......
That's right, it's where she and Li Meng often stay. At the same time, this is also the place where the story just told by the girl takes place.
This time, when Anne came to her senses, she found herself sitting on the bench made of Ferreth crystals, while the maiden stood beside her and quietly surveyed her surroundings.
Unbeknownst to Anne, not long after she and the maiden had left the garden, a slender figure had appeared.
The owner of the figure looked a little ...... Crazy, he seemed to be looking for something, when he saw that there was still tea left in the tea set that the girl had just drunk tea, he was stunned for a while, and then began to unwillingly look up to the sky and roar, after that, his red eyes turned into a thick blood mist, drifting towards the direction of the Black Thorn Inner Castle.
"Ah...... No matter how long it takes, this place is so ...... Miss ......" The girl looked around the rows of bookshelves full of books with emotion, she approached and took out one casually, and when she saw the book cover in her hand, she was slightly stunned. Then, a hint of meaning and emotion appeared on the girl's face...... Smile.
"Anne, do you believe in fate?" asked the girl, turning her back to Anne.
"......Fate? I don't know......" Anne opened her mouth, probably because she was unfamiliar with the person she was asking the girl for, but she still couldn't answer.
"I used to be dismissive of fate, always thinking that it was just a trick by some god to deceive the ignorant...... In ancient times, I had an elven friend whose name was Kyle Koran. He finally prophesied that I would die for the sake of my beloved...... I didn't believe it at the time......" The girl turned and handed Anne the book in her hand, smiling at her, and then said, "Anyway, let's leave that to ...... Now, look at what this book is called, Anne ......"
“...... Oh good. Anne originally thought that the girl's beloved should be Li Meng of her "that world", and just wanted to ask, but seeing that the girl was obviously unwilling to speak, she had to give up and obediently took the book handed by the girl.
However, as soon as she saw the words on the book cover, Anne couldn't help frowning.
Because this book is the "Enlightenment of Nature" that Li Meng once accidentally found on the bookshelf!
"Doesn't that feel weird? But it happened...... I'm in the fragments of this world's trajectory, confirming that this is ...... The book that interests you for the first time in your study...... And my Limon and I are ...... because of this book," the girl said here and paused, as she noticed the unintentional displeasure on Anne's face.
As a more experienced party, the girl quickly understood that this was caused by Anne's exclusive desire for Li Meng...... This made the girl laugh for a while, and it was obvious that Anne had no intention of giving them up to herself, whether it was "your Lemon" or "my Lemon......
But so what?
The ancestor of Mokawi, the leader of the Thirteen Bloods, and the Speaker of the Bloodline Council...... With the blessing of these identities, how can the pride of a girl be comparable to that of Anne?
So, the girl shook her head, caressing the top of the desk without care, and continued her story.
......
"Hmm...... Most of the furnishings in the study have not been touched...... This shows that at least we, or rather, I have the same taste as the master of this world. ”
“...... The first time I saw Li Meng up close was at night. You know, our bloodlines are far stronger than the other races, but that doesn't mean we don't need to rest...... After Limon took over Spiegel's task, I didn't take him seriously at first...... Or rather, simply ignore him. I let him sit in the study, and I was still dealing with the documents that needed to be decided. ”
"Until the third night, I inevitably fell into a state of exhaustion due to the overabundance of things I was dealing with. So, I decided to lie down on the table and sleep for a while. However, probably because I had been asleep for too long, I seemed to have gotten used to sleep, and by the time I woke up again, it was already the morning of the fourth day...... I didn't blame Limon for not reminding me, because I subconsciously ignored him at the time. But when I woke up, I found ...... I was covered with a white velvet blanket...... And the papers that had been in front of me, and which I remember piling up on the third night, before I fell asleep, were neatly placed on my right hand...... Lemon was gone, but I didn't have time to take care of him, and at the time, I wondered if he had messed up the papers, and I was going to ask Randy to come over and help me deal with it...... However, when I flipped through the top paper...... Well, I was surprised...... Those documents have been processed...... I flipped through it a little and found that there were no loopholes in it, and some of the decisions were thoughtfully annotated...... Although I didn't want to attribute this to Li Meng, he was the only one in the study at the time besides me......"
......
The girl walked around to Anne's side, and her hand gestured in mid-air, indicating that the document was so high. But it seems that he deliberately ignores Anne's increasingly ugly face.
