Did she understand?
Looking far towards the top of the city, Hitzfeld stared at Dong Tian's face with his divine eyes.
Has she discovered the truth about the times she lives in?
Have you discovered the truth hidden in the world?
Do you find yourself being targeted?
uncertain……
Although the hair in reality seems to indicate that Winter survived the war.
But they still didn't know the method she used.
It is still unknown whether the Winter Queen will stick to her position at the last minute.
"Whoo~"
A piece of newspaper was blown by the cold wind, and Xia Yibing grabbed it quickly.
Opening it, she ignored the headlines and stared at the release date in the upper right corner.
[March, winter of 1900]
"The century-long journey has come to an end for now."
The black-haired goddess threw the thing aside.
"There are still 227 years left."
“We need more mediums.”
--------
Say it.
At the end of the day, I was feeling extremely anxious. Actually, I knew I had missed out on the reward list for about 2 issues, but I just didn't have the energy to check the backstage.
I plan to finish it and thank you all together. I won’t miss the chance to thank you. It’s just that it will be delayed for a while. Sorry...
Chapter 26: Differences in Mentality (Two in One)
In the White Shadow Palace, in the garden courtyard, a little girl with long straight black hair ran on the grass, dodging the hands of the ladies-in-waiting as she screamed and laughed.
“She’s very happy.”
With a flap of its wings, a strange crow, completely black but with dark red edges on its feathers, descended and landed in front of the ruler of this country.
"Then I guess you must be Ms. Yusilian." Alwin, who was staring into the distance with a smile in a daze a second ago, stood up from his seat and bowed to the crow.
"It's not decent to bow to me, is it?" Although she said so, judging from the half-closed eyes of the Blood Crystal Crow, she still enjoyed being treated like this. "According to my status, I am a commoner, and you are the heir of the ancient kingdom of God. It would be bad if someone saw us, right?"
"Whether it's out of respect for your origin or gratitude for your help, this little bit of courtesy is not worth mentioning."
Shaking his head, Alwin sat back on the stone and reached out to tighten his cloak.
Spring had arrived, and everything was coming back to life. The plants in the courtyard began to sprout, and the stream beneath her feet began to flow again, making clear and melodious sounds from time to time.
Many girls who love beauty would abandon their winter clothes and put on summer clothes at this time, but this is an unattainable dream for Alwin because her body is far from recovering to its best condition.
After sitting back, Alwin did not pay much attention to the Blood Crystal Crow. She just rubbed her hands from time to time and looked at the playful scenes in the distance. Occasionally, she smiled and exhaled white air. It can be seen that she is in a very good mood.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I came here?" Blood Crystal Crow finally couldn't help but said, "You know who I am and what I have done. Those two people must have told you this, so I don't care."
"But why did I suddenly come to the White Shadow Palace? Aren't you curious?"
"I'm not curious." Alvin lowered his head and looked at her, grinning again, "Because I know the answer to the question."
"Really? What's the answer?"
"You have known Aisuen and the others not recently. You had countless opportunities to visit me in the past but you never came. Why did you come today?" Alvin shook his head and looked at the petite figure jumping in the distance again. "I can only wonder if there are any changes here."
The previous King Sarah had good vision.
The Blood Crystal Crow sighed in his heart.
Just as Alwin guessed, she came here to help little Emily with her homework.
Emily has had many teachers, the first of which must be her mother Aisuen. Her most basic understanding of the world and her currently vague world outlook, values and outlook on life were all instilled by her mother.
However, after she was weaned, Hitzfeld couldn't keep an eye on her all the time. At this time, the teaching work of some subjects had to be evenly distributed to Old Man, Walnut, and Blood Crystal Crow himself.
It sounds a bit strange to let an ancient tree man, a cursed puppet, and a drop of blood of an ancient god-king teach her, but the Blood Crystal Crow dares to say that at least in some subjects - such as ancient history and those legends, no one is better qualified for this job than them.
Humph... Even this child's mother often asked me for advice on this aspect. I am more than capable of teaching her and I would still have new things to say even if I taught her for a hundred years.
As for why she wanted to launch a surprise attack, it was just that she wanted to test this young queen...whom she had only heard of in the past.
The female king...
Looking at the outline of Alvin's eyes, Crow felt both emotional and sighing.
Even if Seran is included, this situation is rare. She couldn't help but recall the hazy memories before the gray fog came. Some of them were intermittent, and seemed to hide several faces that she missed very much.
"Miss?"
My eyes blurred, and I saw Alvin waving his hand in front of him.
"Are you thinking about something?"
"Oh...yeah, I was thinking about some things from the past."
"Aisun said that your true identity came from before the first year of the Gray Mist, and that you are the king of the Mimics, who is older than the Age of Disaster." A curious look appeared in Elwin's eyes. "I have always admired the history of ancient Seran. Madam, can you tell me about it?"
"This is not something that can be explained in a few words, and I don't know your level of literature and history."
"We have excavated many ruins." Alvin smiled, "There are records about those periods in the materials, but they are very few. So you can just look at them and tell me about them. I'm sure you know more than I do."
"So, what do you want to hear?"
As soon as these words came out, Blood Crystal Crow frowned inwardly.
She regretted it.
Originally, she didn't want to say so much... After all, she had nothing to do with this little guy. He was a descendant of Harwin's relatives, not her own. Moreover, she didn't know whether Alwin's ancestors stayed behind because they committed mistakes.
But the truth is - the other party's "affinity" is a bit unreasonable.
In this girl, the Blood Crystal Crow felt both the loneliness of a superior and the warmth of a spring breeze. When these two contradictory feelings were closely intertwined and converged to form a faint smile on the girl's face, even her old heart, which had seen many vicissitudes of life, could not help but beat a few more times.
Like.
They really look alike.
Just like the descendants of Victoria who could use the affinity hidden in their blood to express the emotions of all their kind and even lower life forms, the Blood Crystal Crow vaguely saw some shadows of his lover in Alwin.
So I unconsciously relaxed...
Facing this face and this smile, it was obviously much more difficult for her to refuse than to agree.
"The one I'm most curious about is, of course, the Sun King, His Majesty Amen-Haven!"
Seeing that there was a chance, Alvin immediately put away his previous faint smile and his attitude became much more earnest.
here we go again--
Blood Crystal Crow only felt her eyes brighten. It is no exaggeration to say that she really had that feeling that "spring has arrived".
Yes, for her, the beauty of spring created by nature was not as great as the joyful smile from the heart of a younger generation.
Damn it…why is her temperament so similar to Ha Wen?
While trying his best to resist this feeling, Blood Crystal Crow was also thinking about why he was affected in this way.
The descendants of Victoria can influence the emotions of lower-level life forms through the power of their bloodline - or blood contract - and make the Serans, Sarans, and some small animals unconsciously approach them and trust them.
But I am not a Seran or Saran, nor an animal. Even my only blood relationship has been severed, so why is this...
“You really know how to ask.”
The crow flapped its wings and deliberately turned its head to the side.
"Harwin is quite an egomaniac."
She also began to look at the distant scenery.
self?
Alvin didn't say it, but he was certainly confused.
She thought of many possible evaluations, including strong, beautiful, elegant, and extremely intelligent.
But I didn’t expect it to be “self”…
It is very difficult to move this word from the derogatory category to the neutral zone, let alone force it to be understood as a positive one.
"Once she has made up her mind about something, no one can stop her. Isn't that self-esteem?"
The Blood Crystal Crow sneered.
"Let's not talk about the small things, they are meaningless... But for all the big things, especially those involving people around us, as long as she is sure that a certain plan is the most beneficial, then she will not care what we think in our hearts. No one can change her mind at that time."
is that so……
Alvin held his chin in thought.
If this is true, then the Sun King can indeed be said to be a very selfish and even arbitrary person.
Sarah was the successor of Guthran. As the King of Sarah, she naturally admired the legendary King of Guthran.
--------
①: Ninety-nine percent of Amen-Hawin’s titles were made up by outsiders. The only official status she enjoyed was “King of Serran”. Even the “Sun King” was not as formal as this.
--------
Sometimes, Alvin would wonder if he had some similarities with His Majesty.
Can I do as well as this ancient God-King?
So she felt a little bit like her filter was broken. If Amen Harwin was such a person, then he was completely different from herself.
"She is much more decisive than you."
Blood Crystal Crow saw what she was thinking, "But how should I put it... Mentality is not something that is innate, but is determined by the circumstances acquired and the power that one controls."
"Just like you now, weak and powerless... a strong wind can blow you down. Then you definitely don't have any mentality of 'self' or 'arbitrariness'. Even if you have made many correct decisions, you must be very cautious when making arrangements, and even make a gamble with the determination to die."
"…Indeed."
Touching her lips sheepishly, Alwyn recalled the time she and Sheena had spent together.
"But she's different."
The crow looked into the distance again.
"Her mentality is that of killing."
"kill."
"The God of Death."
"Ever since she was still a mortal, and younger than you, she has been forced to face those annoying things. She has long experienced the feeling of being deceived and betrayed. At that time, no one helped her. She could only rely on herself, relying on the sword in her hand, to chop and kill, to stir up the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder, and to force the world to face herself."
"How did you get your throne?"
Raven suddenly asked Alwyn.
"This...was passed down to me by the previous King Sara."
"It's not hers." Crow said immediately, "Although I heard her say that the position was legally passed to her by Kanso, but if she hadn't fought hard all the way, if she hadn't returned from the abyss, the position would probably have been given to her sister."
"Everything she has is something she has gained through her sword. I think her unique personality must have been gradually formed in this process. She believes in herself just as much as she believes in the sword in her hand. As long as it involves matters that can only be solved by force, she will not allow others to raise any opinions."
“This is her heart…”
When the crow said this, its voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Why didn't you understand it sooner?"
"Rather than saying that she is arbitrary and egoistic, it is better to say that she needs to confirm again and again that 'she still has such power' in order to move forward calmly..."
What a pity, I understood this truth too late. I couldn't even comprehend my own essence.
"In other words, once she makes a decision, she firmly believes that she can do it?" Alvin asked.
