It wasn't that she had to doubt it, but - this thing was indeed the most suspicious.
Xia Yibing nodded and briefly described to her what happened in the outside world.
"Really? I fell unconscious after I touched that fire knife." Hitzfeld closed his eyes and recalled the details.
No problem... She also remembered that she was indeed... because she had touched the knife, the recollection was activated. It did not come suddenly at the beginning, but gave her enough buffer time.
"Then there's nothing to worry about." She opened her eyes. "Connie is a qualified doctor. If she determines that my body needs energy, she must have been planning to give me a sugar injection."
Is this a sugar problem?
Xia Yibing glared at her.
Sometimes she just couldn't understand what Hitzfeld was thinking.
"That might be because this is your first time here." Hitzfeld nodded, "You're not used to...relying on this thing to find clues."
The first time the two of them came into contact in the dream was probably in Blackwood City. She was almost dragged into the abyss by the Golem God and eaten. It was then that the woman split the deep nightmare with a knife and forcibly brought her back to reality.
But there are differences between dreams... Simple nightmares and dream worlds are not as mysterious as traveling back in time and historical projections, because only the latter are completely generated by the left eye - they are created out of nothing and are records that should not have existed.
"Anyway." Hitzfeld held the woman's hand and interlocked their fingers. "Don't worry too much. This may be a rare opportunity..."
Next, they huddled together, carefully watching the bearded man interact with the children, while Hitzfeld filled in the gaps that Xia Yibing had not seen, or that she did not quite understand.
"My left eye wouldn't go crazy for no reason," Hitzfeld said. "I've always suspected that this thing has its own consciousness... In many crises, it has actively triggered backtracking to give me hints. I believe this time is no exception. The memories of the fire starter must contain important clues."
"Maybe." Xia Yibing's brows were still furrowed. "The question is whether this clue can help us, and how much damage will it cause to you to maintain such a detailed illusion scene."
She didn't care about some lousy fire starter.
Judging from Hitzfeld’s description just now, this historical projection is hosted in the fire-starting knife. It may not just be a dead object, but also record the history of changes and development of the Wenquan Dragon family.
But is there any value in this?
Who would care about what the hot spring dragon was doing a hundred years ago... This period of history was neither the period when the Dragon Guard family was just born, nor did it involve the mystery of the division of the Dragon God Kyle, nor was it the period when the Dragon Guard family first opened the Dragon Tomb and a civil war broke out. No relevant clues could be found.
Even if they learned through this projection that there is a lost language called "Borunian" and that there is a "Fei Che Holy Spring" that can refine magical weapons such as the Fire Blade, it is of no use to them in dealing with the difficulties they have to face in reality.
They want to find out the mastermind hiding in Kerg.
The goal is to find a way to help Kaloni and others fight against the Undead Party, at least to prevent the treasures on the fourth floor of the Dragon Tomb from falling into the hands of the Undead Party and the Mimic Demon.
Most importantly, they need to save their lives in the struggle and conflict between these forces.
Compared with this, the secret of Fei Che Holy Spring is really useless. She doesn't want the girl to stay here any longer from the bottom of her heart.
This damn place is said to be a time projection, but it should also be a kind of dream...
She stared up at the ceiling.
As long as it is a dream... and it is extraordinary... in theory, "Long Summer" can be touched...
I don't know if it will be like the barrier between reality and dreams, which can be torn apart with a little effort...
"Don't have any bad ideas." Hitzfeld saw what she was about to do and raised a finger to warn her.
"Don't forget that this is my dream, not some other nightmare or dream channel... If you cut this place, you might hurt me."
"……you're right."
Xia Yibing was helpless.
She really had no experience with this kind of situation.
What else can be done?
Let's just do as she says.
Seeing that she was really deflated and looked like she was "letting it all go", Hitzfeld felt amused and also a little moved.
Just like the care of loved ones.
Sometimes I feel annoyed... and think it's too long-winded, but it's undeniable that it's well-intentioned.
It is never the kindness that is wrong, but the way of expressing and treating kindness. She thinks she is not such a naive person, so all this does not prevent her from extracting touching feelings from the complex reality.
Xia Yibing didn't know that her instinctive behavior had made someone feel good about her again, and she was still analyzing on her own: "So the last time we dreamed of a similar scene... dreaming of the Dragon God Kyle and Queen Severi was also the work of the Nature Orb?"
She agreed to stay here with the girl and observe, but that didn't mean she was focused on it.
She was still thinking about the outside world, trying to find as many useful clues as possible from this incident.
"That should be the case." Hitzfeld also felt that this was the only possibility.
But there was one thing she disagreed with.
"Just consider it a reward for you..." the girl muttered softly.
"What?" The woman turned her head.
"Nothing." Hitzfeld glanced at her, his lips curled up slightly.
"Do you really think that we were dreaming about the same person?"
Chapter 94 Fei Che Holy Spring III
"What do you mean?" Xia Yibing frowned slightly.
Hitzfeld described his dreams to her in detail.
The history of the Dragon Kingdom, the descendants of the Yamen, the struggle for power, and the stories surrounding those core figures are all described in great detail.
She didn't understand, if the people she saw in the study-like environment at that time were not the Dragon God Kyle and Queen Severi, then who else could it be?
"Others may not be able to see it, but I think if it were you, you would be able to notice it." Hitzfeld nodded at her, "About 'I actually have some guesses about the mastermind'."
As expected, the woman was not surprised this time. It was as if she had expected this.
"I can understand why you keep things to yourself sometimes." After thinking for a while, Xia Yibing said to the girl, "I rarely give in to others... but in terms of professionalism, at least in terms of talent, I admit that you are qualified to be ahead of me... so if that is your judgment, no matter how unreasonable it seems, I will force myself to think that it makes sense."
"Although this always makes me worry to death..." She sighed, then looked up and smiled at the girl, "But I can't force you to say it, right?"
"I believe you trust me, just as I trust you...so I don't think you are avoiding something by not saying it. I support your approach, and you don't have to force it."
"..." Hitzfeld looked at her speechlessly, thinking that she might have misunderstood.
She wasn't that arrogant.
After she woke up and discovered that she had a talent for acting, she really couldn't get out of that stage, or the nature of that age, and she showed off in front of others several times.
But after all, she is not Sherlock Holmes. Their personalities are very different. She does not need to rely on this kind of show-off to satisfy herself or meet any spiritual needs.
Especially after she officially... um, confirmed her relationship with the other party... she further restrained her past edge. In other words, she no longer planned to keep people in suspense.
In the past, they kept the secret either because they were afraid of alerting the enemy or because they hadn't decided whether the secret involved was appropriate for Xia to know.
But now these hidden dangers no longer exist, so what's the point of her hiding it?
She suddenly felt a little unhappy, feeling that Xia's attitude towards her was no longer "conceited", but had turned into "self-righteous".
I have imagined so much, thinking that I am noble in making sacrifices. At least think about whether I am that kind of person...
"What's wrong?" Xia Yibing finished reading what was taught in the book, but found that the effect was not as good as she expected.
The last second, Aisuen looked at me with some affection in his eyes...how come they suddenly turned cold?
Did I say something wrong?
She couldn't help but go over what she had just said in her mind again.
I do care about what she said, so it should be fine...
Unable to figure it out, she could only tentatively touch the girl's hand with her "ghostly" hand.
Hitzfeld simply pulled his hand back: "Just tell me whether you want to hear it or not."
"I want to!" Xia Yibing nodded desperately, "I'll listen to whatever you say!"
"You really listen to everything I say?"
"real!"
"What if I asked you to kill someone?"
"No problem." He continued to nod, "Anyway, you won't let me kill a good person."
"What if I want you to leave the Security Bureau?"
"Well...if I can get around the oath, that's fine."
"What if I want you to get out of Alvin's control?"
"..."Xia Yibing was silent.
She stared at the girl for several seconds, ignoring the bearded man pulling the two children out of the study, and said to her: "...Do you suspect that the person who planned all this is Alvin?"
This is incredible.
But she also knew that Hitzfeld would not speak without purpose, and every question she asked herself must have meaning.
"We were too narrow-minded before." Hitzfeld nodded to her and floated to the window to look at the street scenery. "What do you think Alvin should be worried about now?"
"What?" Xia Yibing was still confused.
What the hell...
She is not Alvin, but the king... How can she understand the king's thoughts...
"We have solved many regional risks similar to the Golem Curse, opened up wastelands like the Crystal Sea, crushed the subversive plots that the evil followers were planning in the country, and now we have even brought the Worm Plain under our control... The cohesion and comprehensive strength of the entire country are unprecedentedly strong."
The girl continued, "Think about it, if you were the king, what would you be most worried about right now?"
"This...is the threat from overseas?" Xia Yibing tried to guess.
Sarah is a very good person now, but human civilization is not limited to Sarah.
There is Talignan, there is Goliath, there are united kingdoms big and small, and there are other continents behind the gray fog.
These are all hidden dangers and threats. If she were Alwyn, she would definitely worry that evil spirits and evil followers would gather in these places to develop again and make a comeback many years later.
"That's right..." She heard the girl whisper softly.
"That's right... Xia... But you are still too conservative. It's not just the threats from overseas. It should be all threats from abroad - as long as the human territory is not under Sarah's control, riots may break out."
"This..." Xia Yibing frowned at first, then suddenly realized what she was talking about.
Sarah probably doesn't want Talignan to return to normal.
It seems to be nonsense. Facing the gray fog and the evil god, we should unite and resist together, but everyone's definition of unity is definitely different.
The present situation at Tariignant could have only two consequences.
Either the country will be controlled by the faction of the Undead Party, and the whole country will be completely corrupted, with gangs rampant and demons running rampant... or even a tragedy more outrageous than all the curses may break out, and all the living beings in the country will be eaten by evil spirits.
Either the count successfully usurps the throne, uses the secret treasure of the fourth level of the Dragon God to master the secret art of transforming into a dragon, and uses his powerful force to suppress the Undead Party and various heretical parties, consolidate his regime, develop people's livelihood, and gradually build Talignan into the Sara of the West.
Neither of these two outcomes is in Sarah's interest.
The former would cause Sarah to lose a powerful ally, while the latter would make this ally too powerful.
This was not what Sarah wanted to see.
The best outcome for Sarah is:
①: Either Tariqan maintains the status quo.
On the one hand, he cooperates with Sarah as an ally who is not overly powerful, while attracting the attention of evil spirits for Sarah. On the other hand, he is extremely dependent on Sarah's assistance, whether it is industry, medicine or food.
This is obviously no longer possible, because the news of the Dragon God's treasure can no longer be suppressed, and everyone will go crazy about it.
Then we can only settle for the next best thing and initiate plan ②: try to support an "insider" who is loyal to Sarah and let her ascend to the supreme throne of the Fire Dragon Alliance.
That candidate can only be Ezun Hitzfeld.
On the one hand, she was close enough to Queen Elwyn that the two had a good personal relationship.
On the other hand, her character and morals have been tested, and she also has a smart enough mind and sharp thinking, which makes the plan of "pushing her to become the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom" possible.
And it can also eliminate her threat to Sarah...
You know, Hitzfeld once had the opportunity to become King Sara.
Charuni had invited her, but she refused.
But she is qualified, and the concentration of divine blood in her body may be higher than that of Alvin.
