That night, Lorna slept soundly, but Solandel did not sleep well. She had a long dream.

In the dream, there is a wilderness with the setting sun. The sunset curtain dyes the world with the color of blood, spreading to the end of sight. The sky gradually shrouded in darkness is filled with stars that have shone for hundreds of millions of years, like countless dense forests.

The world is shining.

The vast earth is like a speck of dust at this scale, and the wilderness is full of broken laurel flowers. She stands among the withered petals and looks into the distance. The stream of light converges in the sky, dead and violent, and finally condenses into a giant eye overlooking the world.

...

...

The next day, Kino got up very early to deal with official duties.

Lorna also got up early and ran to the training ground to practice swordplay with the Twilight City soldiers. Then because she was too strong, she chopped down more than a dozen wooden mannequins and was driven out by the quartermaster with begging.

At half past eight, when Lorna had breakfast with everyone, she found that Solandel had also gotten up, but she kept yawning and her little head was biting, obviously she had not slept well.

Lugo gnawed on the oatmeal bread and asked Lorna: "Why does your servant look so sleepy? Is he so tired from serving you?"

"You're a bastard -" Lorna half-cursed, swallowed back what she wanted to say, forced a smile and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, I'm in trouble."

"A woman can't always rely on servants. You have such a bad temper and fight fiercely. If you don't learn to do housework, who will dare to marry you in the future?" Lugo packed a whole loaf of oatmeal bread in a cloth bag, and took away a few pieces of chicken breast.

He picked up a bottle of wine and swaggered out, "Let's go~ You are not allowed to cause any more trouble for me today. The Public Security Department is already too busy with its troubles."

"Drinking at work... just wait, I will go to Chino to report you later!" Lorna muttered at Lugo's back, and then trotted to Solandel's side.

"Solan, are you okay if you didn't sleep last night? Your eyes are red." Lorna held up the uneaten bowl of oatmeal in front of Solandel, "If you don't want to eat it, I will."

"You can eat." Solandel rubbed her face, looking very lethargic, "Hey, I had a strange dream last night."

Lorna didn't look good when she was eating. She was holding the bowl and picking at the spoon. She felt like a wild child. She chewed oats, raised her head and asked, "What kind of dream?"

Solandel muttered: "I don't know how to put it... Anyway, it's quite strange. I was standing in a wilderness, with broken laurels everywhere, and then... above my head... there was an eye, a big eye.

, watching us from heaven.”

"Eyes? You mean the sky?" Lorna was amused, "How can there be eyes in the sky? I used to ride Fei Ye and fly to very high places, until I couldn't breathe. Lenglie Valley

It's as small as a sesame seed, but it still doesn't fly all the way. If there were eyes in the sky, how big would they be?"

"Hmm... So it's just a dream, don't worry about it." Solandel held her face and looked at Lorna who was eating oatmeal, smiling expectantly, "Kino is very busy today and can't accompany us, let's go

Where to play?”

Lorna suddenly sped up, ate all the porridge in one go, put the bowl away, and said enthusiastically: "I'll take you to a very interesting place! How about we go to the slums?"

"Slum area?" Solandel tilted her head.

Lorna's tone was very excited: "Yes, I asked about it yesterday. The North City of Twilight City is a slum area. The security there is very chaotic. You can often see people fighting, and their heads will be bloody. It is said that they will use knives if they disagree.

!”

Solandel was immediately dumbfounded: "This, this, this... what's so fun about this? It's too dangerous. We are guests and cannot cause trouble to Kino."

Lorna jumped up and down eagerly: "Don't worry, I won't take you to those dangerous places, we will just hang around on the edge. I want to observe the life of the people at the bottom of Twilight City and see how it is different from the Royal City."

This reason persuaded Solandel. Although she went out to the palace once in the New Year and went to the royal city and saw many different things among the people, the royal city is the richest place in the entire kingdom after all. The so-called "folk" is also relative.

She knows nothing about the lower-class life in other cities, and the lives of ordinary people will not be recorded in the palace books. This is very attractive to the little princess who lives deep in the palace.

"Okay, let's go to Beicheng today." Solandel's curiosity was aroused and she quickly agreed, but she still added, "But we must remember that we can't cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I will take you out to play this time, and I will definitely be responsible for your safety. In this way, I will do an experiment first." Lorna held Solandel's wrist and began to look at it carefully, "Kino gives you a gift

Did you put on that red rope?"

"Put it on." Solandel lifted up her sleeves, revealing the red rope on her fair arm.

"Come, let's go to the office door to do the experiment." Lorna led Solandel to the door of Chino's office, but she did not knock on the door to enter, but stood outside.

"Kino told you to wear this rope 24 hours a day. I guess it is some kind of alchemy tool. I want to try the effect." Lorna said and touched Solandel's wrist.

But she touched it here and there, but the thread remained motionless and showed no reaction.

So, she touched it a little harder and poked with her fingers, which made Solandel laugh and dodge, but the thread still didn't respond.

Lorna scratched the back of her head, recalling the ancient dragon crystal's defense mechanism, and said tentatively: "Solan, you stand still and don't move. I'm going to punch you now, so don't hide. Don't worry, I will control the force.

It won’t really hit you.”

"Okay." Solandel trusted Lorna and stood up straight.

Lorna gathered her strength and punched Solandelle with a fierce punch.

When her fist was still half a meter away from Solandel, the string on her wrist suddenly collapsed, and the fine red threads instantly intertwined into a dragnet, encompassing Lorna's fist, and all the strength was reduced to nothingness.

Almost at the same time, rapid footsteps came from the office.

As soon as the door opened, Chino was stunned when he saw the two people outside the door: "What are you doing?"

I saw that Kino was wearing the same red rope on his wrist, which was emitting red light. The closer he was to Solandel, the brighter the light became, as if there was some kind of automatic sensing mechanism.

Lorna chuckled and said, "I'm testing the effect of the rope you gave Solan."

Kino made up a lie casually: "Don't try, I'll tell you directly. I snatched this rope from the aliens. Solan's rope is the main rope, and mine is the auxiliary rope. As long as the rope is

When Lan is attacked, the red rope will protect her just like before, and my red rope will also send out a warning. I let her wear it 24 hours a day, just for her safety."

Kino had already thought about it. If he needed to bring out any strange reincarnation props on certain occasions in the future, he would say that they were snatched from extraterrestrial visitors and figured out how to use them by himself.

This reason is not perfect, but it is difficult for outsiders to falsify, and the safety factor is very high, so that one's identity as a rejecter will not be exposed.

The only drawback is that these reincarnation props may be regarded as "stolen items" in the future and required to be turned over.

How to weigh it depends on how you choose in the future.

After Lorna's attack was neutralized, the red thread wrapped around her fist was re-interwoven into a red rope, which was automatically tied back to Solandel's wrist, returning to its original state.
