Chapter 47: The True Mistress
"You weren't supposed to be in this world, Annie. ”
This short sentence kept echoing in Anne's mind, and for the first time her eyes became hollow, like Encore standing behind the girl.
If it's really like what the girl said, she shouldn't exist in this world...... What should have happened in this world?
"Oh, I'm sorry, but it looks like you can't take these things...... It's true, though. The girl patted Anne's little head lightly, then reached out and snapped her fingers.
"Speaking of which, this place is still somewhat familiar to me...... It seems that even if it weren't me or Akasha who took possession of your body, Lemon would still ...... Forget it, it doesn't matter......" As soon as the girl's voice fell, Anne felt a dazzling light suddenly appear in front of her, and this light came and went quickly.
The moment the light faded, Anne was surprised to find herself in the garden of Blackthorn Castle! The girl was now lying comfortably on the chaise longue that belonged to her and Leemon, and she didn't know when she had picked up a tea set full of black tea, and looked a little enjoying it.
Could it be that you have finally gotten rid of that place and returned to Blackthorn?
So, Anne subconsciously looked at the Wing of Mokavi in the Black Thorn Castle - that was the location of the lord's hall, and Lemon was there!
But to Anne's shock, the most important part of Blackthorn Castle, the Wing of Mokavi, had disappeared...... In its place, there is a void of nothingness!
Blackbrath Castle still exists, as does the garden between the outer and inner forts, but ...... The main body of the Black Thorn Castle, including the Wings of Mokavi, has disappeared a large part of it!
That's when Anne realized that she wasn't out of the world.
Realizing this, Anne looked into the distance, and then, once again, affirmed her thoughts.
Yes, Blackthorn Castle is located high in Gadlin City, and even though it is sheltered by the outer fortress walls, in the garden that Anne deliberately built between the inner and outer walls, you can still see some views of Gadlin City and the harbor.
Anne did see the city of Gadlin and the harbor, as well as the rest of the city, but it was ...... It's like a painting...... A ...... Dead Silence Painting.
Because, look at the sun hanging in the sky, it's not night, the city of Gadlin shouldn't be so quiet during the day, and the harbor shouldn't be so quiet!
Anne stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, and she struggled to observe for a long time before she confirmed...... The entire city of Gadlin, the harbor of Gadlin, and even the Blackbrach Castle, there was no one but her and the maiden!
The girl looked at Anne with interest, she didn't say anything to interrupt Anne's conjecture, but just watched her, expecting to see the shock she wanted on her face.
It's a pity that Anne was only stunned for a moment at the beginning, and then she lowered her head and pondered for a long time.
And the girl maintained her rare and precious reserve, and still chose to wait.
Time flew by, and the sun still hung high in the sky, showing no signs of deflection.
"The world...... Is it still?" Anne spoke suddenly, she looked up at the girl and asked, "I am in this world, I can't feel ...... Moreover, this world is definitely not the real world, and I can't feel the familiar rules of the world!"
A smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth, she put down the tea set, changed to a comfortable position and continued to lie down before slowly speaking.
"Yes, Annie, this is not the real world...... There is no end to the real world...... Or rather, it's a cycle! We call the ground under our feet Anvita, Anvita...... If you spread your batwings and fly long enough towards the east, you'll find that you'll eventually get back to square one...... And if you keep going underground, you'll be crushed by gravity until you can't take it anymore...... However, suppose you have the ability to cross the center of the earth and are lucky enough not to go towards the center of the earth, then...... You will find that after a certain 'point', you will feel the gravity that has been pulling you downward, which will gradually shift, and finally prevent you from continuing to explore forward...... And after breaking through the dark end, which is full of dirt and rocks, you will find ...... You're still on the ground......"
"Uh...... Wait, what is gravity, and what exactly are you talking about?"
"Well, gravity is a ...... I'm sorry I forgot, Anne...... Limon hadn't discovered those things yet, and he hadn't told you them. When I talked about this, I remembered him, so I couldn't help but say more...... In short, you can understand that we live on top of a 'big ball', and it is precisely because this 'ball' is so big that the ground you feel is flat. In the future, if you have time, you can take Li Meng to the beach to have a look, maybe ...... He can be inspired early......"
“...... But...... Well, I got it. So, what are you telling me all this for?"
“...... Just to let you know that there is an end to this world now, and you should have discovered it, right? Oh, yes. In return for what I just told you, I wish you could get that guy Randy to stop digging underground!
Anne and the maiden chatted with each other, and in most cases, it was the maiden who spoke, and Anne stood by and listened.
Anne didn't understand why the girl was so ...... Talkative, but seeing her getting happier and happier, she still couldn't help but speak.
Finally, at the end, Anne heard the girl mention Grand Elder Randy and the matter of asking her to stop Randy......
Hearing this, Anne frowned, and the girl, too, found this, so she asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just, I'm kind of disgusted with Randy's ......"
"Oh...... That's right. It's okay, anyway, after all this is over, you will be the real Mistress of Mokawi, and when the time comes, whether you want to use him or want to wipe him out, it's your personal choice, and no one can interfere, understand?"
"Hmm...... Wait, you just said that I would be the real Mistress of Mokawi, but shouldn't I be in this world?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's been so much fun talking to you, I forgot to tell you the story about me and Limmond. ”
