Just like flipping through photos to form a dynamic animation, gradually, she saw the images in front of her move.
White clouds are floating and giant trees are growing.
It was an extremely mysterious and strange tree. It was different from the Tree of Death, nor the blood-red tree she had seen from Elsa. Instead, it was completely dark as an abyss, like a chaotic void.
In the blink of an eye, she was standing not far from the tree, and this position was enough for her to clearly see that there was another person in front of her.
From the back, it's a woman...
Who is she?
"Aisun?"
The woman was originally walking towards the giant tree. She seemed to notice someone coming, so she stopped, half turned sideways, and slowly turned her head back.
Hitzfeld finally saw her face clearly.
Her expression also gradually distorted during this process, from shock to disbelief.
But the other party ignored her shock, she turned completely towards her and smiled at the girl.
"Yeah……"
"You here, is this the case..."
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
You will regret this.
……
The spider web of time materializes in consciousness, gradually evolving into all the experiences along the way.
Killing, betrayal, revenge, redemption...
Is such that……
If she is the mother tree, and all the disasters that have arisen from it are part of her, then everything I have done...
What is the meaning of all this?
Under the Baimu tree, the spirit named Aisuen Hitzfell suddenly disappeared.
The world lost its sound at this moment. She suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from reality, only to see countless people in white coats surrounding the bed. Her body was also tied up with belts and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried.
They care about me...
At the first moment, Hitzfeld realized that these people had good intentions.
She finally understood.
Why do I have no memory of my past?
Unit Summary
Yes, that’s right—the previous chapter is actually the conclusion of all the plots in this volume.
I have to apologize to you. Originally, this chapter should have been shown to you at least two days in advance, but due to various reasons... such as being dragged to visit friends and do some shopping, and some of my own human weaknesses being exploited by the great enemy "laziness"... and so on, I have only started writing it now.
As usual, let’s summarize the main story described in this unit.
From the title "The Crown", it can be seen that it has revolved around this element from the very beginning, from the "Crown Theft", to the investigation of the "Corner Tower", to "Amera's fake death", and then to the promotion of the "Art Exhibition" through James' relationship.
I tried to make all the plots interlocking, for example, why is there a "light of salvation"? ... Because Sarah did not do a good job in dealing with the evil disaster in the past.
For example, why have these people done such a bad job over the years and have hardly achieved any results? ... Because they are extremely weak, I must consider that in such a structured era and society, there are also people struggling in such dark corners, and they have such special demands - this possibility must also exist.
It also includes "Why did they choose to cause trouble at this time", so it has to be written in conjunction with the current situation. Oh... it turns out that this is also the influence of the protagonist, because Hitzfeld did something to Elsa, she also caused Insel to die, liberated the crown's fear... These various reasons contributed to this opportunity.
If I hadn't chosen to set the tone of the book at the beginning, I wouldn't have to think so much. But the tone has been set, so the death of the victims, who were killed indiscriminately just for prevention and control, is an extremely heavy thing that cannot be ignored.
I can only say that I try not to talk about it too much... I try not to use this thing as the core idea and express something mixed with my personal views, because that would become what many people call personal opinion.
It also includes some things about aesthetics. Because I have seen some examples in real life, I feel particularly touched by this, but I also tried my best to retain my point of view - I let the little angel say "She also admires people who can do well, but she doesn't want to be that kind of person."
right~
I don't quite agree, but I maintain the most basic respect.
I try to present the events and plot from a neutral perspective. I won't go into details about who is right and who is wrong, or about philosophy and politics. This way, I won't be preachy and won't be banned. It's the best of both worlds. Isn't it wonderful?
But although it is the best of both worlds, there is a major problem that is difficult to solve. That is, if these things cannot be written in depth, this unit will seem empty.
It just isn't thick enough, especially when compared to all the previous units.
I have to say that serializing long online novels really tests one's ability to control the overall situation and make temporary adjustments. The last Hunter Group was blocked because Emerald was blocked in the middle of writing. A lot of things I had planned to write freely were cut out, and in the middle of writing, the political struggles started and it was like playing house for Xiaobai Wenshi. At that time, I had to consider that the Hunter Group was the only source of income. If it was blocked again, I would be completely out of business and could not afford to waste money, so I was forced to be more cautious about the subsequent layout.
As for the final effect... I'm very honored that someone thinks it's good, because my writing state at the time was quite contradictory, but I also did my best to remedy it, including some descriptions that are more conscious and imagery-oriented.
But I am not satisfied with it, so this time I paid special attention to handling this kind of plot, very directly - take the French as an example.
How to solve the problem of thickness? Finally, I decided to go back to the element of "crown".
Vona?
The Dodgers?
I wondered whether I should focus on portraying these characters, such as Vona's mental journey after being missing for many years and the psychological changes of the Dodges.
In my original plan, Vona was a small bomb, or even a big bomb at the beginning. When I first conceived it, I was going to create enough suspense to focus the hidden clues on Vona and detonate her. When this person came out, this part of the plot could be said to have officially entered its climax.
However, as I was writing, I found that this was not interesting enough. The scale seemed too small, and the most important thing was that Vona had been disconnected for too long. I estimated that only a few readers would think of who Vona was when her name popped up.
In other words, without the foreshadowing of the character arc, the shock would be much less.
Obito's revelation of his identity is foreshadowed by the side story, but Vona's appearance is a bit abrupt, so I think Vona can appear. There is a reason why she is necessary, because it must be her - only she has this noble identity, who can induce this action, which was initially considered a farce, to truly converge into a tsunami rushing towards the royal power.
But she can't be a bomb anymore. A character without enough foreshadowing suddenly appears to tell her own love, hate, and vengeance. It's too cliché and too bloody. Not to mention that readers don't like it, I can't continue writing it myself~
The Dodges weren't a good idea either; they were the bomb in the first draft of the outline, but for well-known reasons, portraying them meant portraying that aspect, so I gave up halfway through writing.
Then there is only the crown.
So... adjust the follow-up plan and extract some factors that were originally supposed to belong to the next volume.
A plan was established with the crown as the absolute core of the story, and the plot that was originally the focus of the story was downplayed.
If I have to describe it, it's like a documentary, or a historical document, or an atmosphere group.
The focus is on the plot of the last few chapters.
That is...
"..."
I won’t write something that is too difficult to understand. I always think: if I want to express something, I don’t intend to say it directly, but only intend to let the readers understand it themselves. If I write such a thing and most readers understand it correctly, then I think I have done it well.
On the contrary, if most readers misunderstand it, then I have definitely failed.
Judging from the comments on the barrage, I did a good job. The hint was quite obvious and most readers guessed it correctly.
So…that’s the problem.
It makes sense... Guests who travel from another world must pay a heavy price for launching a powerful spell. This price is likely to be merging with the roots of the other world to form a new "mother tree".
Hitzfeld must accept a cruel fact, that is, many of her experiences along the way, the gray fog and mystery... the collision of worlds... the Ice God Tree... the Wisdom Fruit Tree... the Death God Tree... are actually all related to the Mother Tree.
The new mother tree no longer has a human personality, but that person still leaves the mother tree with the last bit of human memory.
Myself as a wife.
Myself as a woman.
Myself as a mother.
Among the Trinity's super consciousness, it was the "Mother" side that ultimately triumphed over everything, and so was able to accomplish this miracle - being able to preserve such a trace of memory in the Mother Tree and the roots can itself be described as a miracle.
Unfortunately, no one can see this memory.
No one can reach the mother tree and the roots. The transformation of the Namiia world involves too many secrets. It is an endless void and abyss, a forbidden place that even gods dare not set foot in.
It should be like this.
But, it was another coincidence… Many years ago, the young King Charuni stole a Baimu seed from the palace treasury.
Bai Mu gave birth to the awakening of the crown. It had thoughts and could, as an intelligent life, receive knowledge directly from the source according to its own power.
So it heard it.
It heard the message that man had engraved in the Abyss of Origin.
The omniscient and omnipotent artifact, the secret treasure that knows everything, why did the great Crown of Wisdom choose Aisuen Hitzfell as its perfect container?
Is it because of that memory?
Perhaps it felt something from that memory and image that was enough to shock it, and it also wanted to possess this thing, and it could only get it by becoming "Aisun Hitzfeld".
That's why.
It is also the possible truth hidden in the story.
Hitzfeld realized how many times she had missed the person she was looking for - even on Bartlett Beach, where she had had the chance to fall into deeper darkness and meet her, but she had ruined the opportunity with her own hands.
Of course she couldn't stand it...
But unlike the time with Lengdis, she is now mentally mature, so this time she finally accepted the reality.
She did not corrupt nor did she split into anything else, she just indirectly forgot what happened last time.
Then think about it again.
Forget it again.
Think about it again.
Forget it again.
In this way, the negative emotions it causes will gradually fade away, until one day she is able to adapt to it and truly accept it, and then she will return to her complete self.
It sucks, but it's the way to go.
[Buried in the mire, the crown that knows everything, omnipotent and almighty... this time, finally a mortal picked you up. 】
Can she bear this weight?
[Can she bear the 'curse of knowledge'? ]
【Is it a good thing to know too much? 】
[The earrings 'Lies' and 'Truth'. 】
【Why. 】
[People always desire the other more when they have one...]
So that's pretty much it.
I promise that the little angel will come out in the next volume, and there will be a bigger change in some aspects, the kind of change that you hope to see.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
Happy National Day~!!
Chapter 1 Transformation (Two in One)
Open your eyes.
A new day begins in darkness.
But it seems unable to move.
The whole body was restrained.
"..."
Hitzfeld didn't think she was a pretentious person, but it had been a long time since she had felt the feeling of being tied to a bed and waking up.
