Li Ang finally couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing this, and burst into laughter.
"Just tell me whether you want to see it or not!"
Ethan's face turned dark, he began to think this little thing was not cute!
"Want to see it!"
Great, cuteness is back.
"But I still don't understand, did you suffer from some childhood trauma--"
What the fuck...
Luca started laughing too.
Li Ang had already fallen to the ground laughing. He held his shoulders tightly with both hands and his whole body was twitching. He was completely unable to make any sound and was shaking like a patient.
"Emily Hitzfeld?" Ethan narrowed his eyes.
"It's Emily Imael Hitzfeld!"
The girl looked up proudly.
"Very good! Then I want to teach you a lesson today. Well, your mothers may not have taught you. That is, don't ask about other people's privacy. This behavior is very impolite."
"But." Emily widened her watery blue eyes.
"I just want to comfort you..."
"Hahaha……?
Li Ang couldn't laugh anymore.
"Ok?"
Luca's gesture of stroking his beard suddenly froze.
They looked up in shock and saw little Emily taking out a card... They could vaguely see the outline of cracked earth on the card, and a scary tree shadow standing in the distance in the background.
"My mother taught me that it is better to break the illusion early than to live in darkness and pain all your life."
The girl handed the card to Ethan.
"This is not your nightmare, Ethan Heidegger."
"You have to defeat it in your heart before you can be yourself again."
What the fuck... why!!!
Li Ang's heart was broken when he saw this.
My Emily, my little Emily...Have you forgotten who plays with you every day in Shadow City?
I've been traumatized too!
I need comfort too!
How can you treat people differently like this?
You are going to break my heart!
Luca was also surprised.
Hmm...surprise and jealousy...
"I……"
Ethan took the card, and his thoughts seemed to be brought back to the past by the picture on the card.
My nightmare...
The Death Tree...
"Did your mother tell you about me?"
"Yeah! She said you are great! You were able to bear such pain for so many years."
"You are so considerate, so you are worthy of being her child..."
Forced to be moved and emotional, Ethan picked up little Emily and sat her next to him, then waited for the vice president who arrived after hearing the news.
Moren-Shaw.
He was once the leader of the blood mages in the city of Elsa. After being purified by Xie Yang, he spat out the pollution from evil and regained his purity.
He is now the vice president of the society. If the other two are not around, the intelligence summary of Shadow City is usually given to him.
“…That’s basically the situation.”
Ethan exhaled.
"The information about the 'Eclipse' is not optimistic. The pits seem to be expanding endlessly. We must solve this problem, otherwise sooner or later they will swallow up everything, including Sarah."
"Isn't that why they sent an envoy to negotiate?"
Luca narrowed his eyes.
"I heard about it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."
There is actually quite a bit of intelligence from the outside world.
But how to say it.
Since joining the Engineering Council, he has developed a habit of "only trusting internal intelligence."
"What are the movements of your two Lords?" Leon looked at Morn.
It has nothing to do with friendship.
Official business must be handled in an official manner.
Programmatically, the other party was one of the sequences closest to the two people, and he didn't feel that he was wronged.
"Not sure yet."
Moran shook his head.
"I guess they went to explore the dream world and haven't come back yet... There are some secrets, maybe there are unexpected gains."
"So do we need to sound the alarm? I remember Bellamore conveyed her meaning that the bloodline heritage can be activated when necessary."
"I don't think it will be useful for the time being... We don't even know where the enemy is. It's hard to define the so-called 'Eclipse' as an enemy. We don't even know if it's a natural phenomenon."
After some conversation, they basically reached a consensus on the matter, which was to try their best to contact all members of the Engineering Committee, order everyone to assist in the investigation, and strive to submit a feasible plan before the two His Majesties returned.
Otherwise their existence would seem useless.
Morn still thought that this was an alternative "Mechanical Kingdom", and they had to play some role.
"Tell me about your story, Master Luca."
Morlun looked at the old man with white beard.
"I heard that the person you recommended has already arrived?"
"Three. Also, don't call me a mage. I am just an ordinary person now."
Luca shook his head.
"Two of them are descendants of the Time Dragon, and I have had encounters with them in reality... and one is from the Chesman people, their third princess. She should have a special talent in this area, so I plan to bring her here to try."
"Then follow the procedure and take them to see Dr. Fermi first."
Moran pulled a few sheets out of the drawer and quickly signed them, then tore them off and handed them to Luca.
"If Dr. Fermi is not here, you can take them back to reality, or you can find Dr. Sixus."
"In any case, we have to verify that they are 'safe'... To be honest, your behavior of bringing people here directly is a bit reckless."
"It's okay if you're just on the periphery."
Li Ang interrupted.
"This is the 'Shadow City'."
"Not everyone is qualified to tamper with the Great One's dream creation."
"Nothing can logically do that."
Moran glared at him.
"I'm afraid there are still some of those things left. Some of them are even difficult for Your Majesty to deal with."
Then he stood up.
"Is everything alright? Then we can..."
Looking at Emily, Morn seemed eager to come over and hug her.
"and many more!"
Li Ang interrupted him.
"You think I'm sitting here because I have nothing to do, right?"
"I'm sorry Cornerel...what do you need?"
"The White Shadow Palace has submitted the latest application for advancement. They are from Pusilint. They have a group of students who have met the requirements and can come in to begin their 'transformation'."
"Give the list to Bellamore later and ask him to screen the identities again."
Moran was getting impatient.
"This kind of thing...inspection and physical examination, basic procedures!"
“But it has to be done.”
Emily suddenly interrupted.
"This is 'order'."
“Everything has to be built in accordance with this.”
"You're right!"
Moran walked over with a smile and pinched her soft little face.
"Goodbye, Your Highness."
"I still have something to do."
"If you can return to that place, please give my regards to the two Lords."
"Me too."
Li Ang stood up.
Luca and Ethan followed suit.
"Please give our regards as well."
"I will!"
Emily clenched her fist in assurance.
"This is also 'order'."
The body was sent.
When I was taking a shower last night, I thought I would feel hot later, so I took a bottle of iced Sprite and sipped it while showering. After the shower, I squatted down to wash clothes, sipped a few more sips, and when I stood up to pour water for the third time, I felt something was wrong. I changed clothes and sat for a while, but still felt something was wrong, so I just lay down on the bed.
After all, there will be a supplement in February, either today or tomorrow, 2 yuan~
Chapter 7: City of Shadows (2 in 1)
The group said goodbye to Emily in batches and left her in this slightly empty office.
It was a very strange behavior, as if they had no concern at all about what might happen if a little girl of only 4 or 5 years old was left in a place where she had no food or water and could not lie down properly to rest.
But the fact is they know Emily has ways to get around it.
"You know that Shadow City is the 'Fantasy Realm'." On the way, Leon was explaining this to Ethan. "The 'Fantasy Realm' is actually a deeper dream, deeper and more unreachable than the dream where Puslint is."
"I know that." Ethan frowned, "But what does this have to do with you leaving her there? Aren't you afraid that she'll run around and get into trouble?"
"Oh, use your brain, dear." Leon spread his hands. "Since even dreams are said to be layered, have you ever thought that Emily actually came from a dream that is much deeper than the Shadow City?"
