Dreams filled with memories are as intoxicating as fine wine, but people cannot be immersed in dreams forever, and they will eventually wake up.

Roman opened his eyes. The room was dark, but there was already some hazy morning light on the sky outside the window. It was dawn, and it was also the quietest time in the world.

Roman didn't stay in bed. After washing, he walked out of the bedroom. Looking from a distance, he saw a thin autumn rain falling in the sky. The wind blew away the raindrops, causing ripples in the stagnant water.

There were many people in the open space outside who woke up as early as him. They must have been unable to sleep on the eve of the war.

As soon as daybreak comes, the rebels will take the initiative to launch an offensive. No one knows who will survive after this battle and who will fall on the battlefield forever. It is better to enjoy the last tranquility before the blitzkrieg starts now.

Roman did not go downstairs, but walked upstairs. He stopped in front of the room at the end of the corridor. The wind gently played with the ajar windows and doors, making a creaking sound, as if singing a song.

This is Nicole's room. Looking from the window, she is still sleeping soundly on the bed, her little body curled up into a ball, and she is sucking her fingers childishly, like a well-behaved bunny.

"How old are you, and you still eat your fingers..." Roman whispered to himself, walked into the room and helped Nicole pull the quilt to cover her cold shoulders. He looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face and thought deeply, and finally He patted the back of his head and said, "It doesn't seem that big."

Roman helped Nicole close the creaking window, closed the door and left quietly.

There were still two hours before the assembly time. Roman found Shangguan Ba ​​in the cafeteria who was eating breakfast frantically and asked, "Is your sister up?"

Shangguan Ba ​​answered honestly: "Get up, she's on the roof over there."

Roman came to the roof of the building Shangguan Ba ​​mentioned. Sure enough, Shangguan Xue was sitting on the edge of the railing holding a flower umbrella, silently looking at the eastern sky. Although the sunrise could not be seen on a rainy day, she could still see the thin light in the clouds and mist. shimmer.

Shangguan Xue noticed the person coming and glanced here, but said nothing. After all, she was not familiar with Luo Man, and the two of them had probably never spoken more than ten words together since they worked together.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Roman wanted to start a conversation, so he walked up to Shangguan Xue and took out a candy from his arms: "Would you like some candy?"

Shangguan Xue rolled his eyes at him and began to speak venomously without mercy: "How old am I? You still ask others if they eat sweets? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

Roman apologized awkwardly. He was subconsciously treating Shangguan Xue the same way he treated Nicole. Although they were both dwarfs, they had completely different personalities.

The atmosphere was so awkward. Roman didn't know how to talk to Shangguan Xue and stood there in isolation.

Shangguan Xue was having a good time blowing the wind, but suddenly someone stood next to her. She didn't want to chase him away, nor did she continue to blow the wind. She felt a little bit on pins and needles, so she took the initiative to ask: "What are you doing, are you looking for me if you have anything to do?"

Roman quickly answered: "Ah, yes, I want to ask you something, just...just..."

Under Shangguan Xue's puzzled gaze, Roman hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously: "Can you make a peace charm?"

Shangguan Xue thought she heard wrongly and asked with confusion: "What talisman???"

"Peace Talisman!" Roman gestured with his hand in the air and explained, "It's the kind of thing in your Far Eastern legends. It has magical power after being illuminated. When worn on the body, it can eliminate misfortune and eliminate evil, seal away evil and block evil...

You can make one for me! You can make whatever price you want!"

Shangguan Xue was stunned for a long time and looked at Roman with a stupid look: "Brother, are you mistaken? I am an Onmyoji, not a fortune teller."

Roman asked cutely: "Um...is there anything different?"

Shangguan Xue lost her temper completely and said feebly: "Of course it's different. Those fortune tellers are all charlatans. We Onmyojis are all practical people and never engage in metaphysics."

"Don't read what the books say about Onmyoji's search for gods and the soul's connection with Yin and Yang. They were all made up by the royal family in order to create power. Our ability is to control curses and kill people, nothing else.

"

"The peace charms are here...Are you Dogulanders so superstitious?"

Roman was a little reluctant and asked: "But... peace charms are very common in the Far East, right?"

Shangguan Xue said helplessly: "It is very common, but in the final analysis it is a superstitious thing. Wear it if you like it, but it is of no use if you wear it."

Seeing Roman dumbfounded, Shangguan Xue couldn't help laughing: "You don't really think that the Peace Talisman can help people ward off any bloody disasters, do you? Please, if it is really that useful, I will get myself a thousand Peace Talismans to wear on the battlefield.

Aren’t there a thousand lives on earth?”

Roman asked blankly: "Then...is the Peace Talisman really useless at all?"

Shangguan Xue said slowly: "Tell me about its effects...it's really useless. Even if you find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures as raw materials and ask the chief Onmyoji to consecrate them to make you a top-level peace talisman, it's not as good as a top-level peace talisman."

Simple defensive charms work well - of course, no one else except the Onmyoji can use the charms."

"However, it is not accurate to say that it is of no use at all. At least it can be a psychological comfort. Just like shouting twice before a fight, uu read a bookwww.uukanshu.com Give yourself a boost, similar to that effect."

After hearing this, Roman sighed sadly: "Oh, it's a shame that I still have such high hopes..."

Shangguan Xue glanced at him and said in a mocking tone: "What are you doing, the war is coming, and you are afraid that you will die too soon, so you want to get a peace charm to save your life?"

"It's not for myself..." Roman's voice trailed off, and he muttered, "I want to ask for one for someone else."

Shangguan Xue was a little confused. She thought for a moment and quickly realized something. A deep smile appeared on her face: "For Nico?"

Roman was shocked: "You...how do you know..."

Shangguan Xue snorted: "If I can't see your little thoughts, I won't be an Onmyoji anymore. Hey, do you like her?"

The crimson color began to creep up on Roman's cheeks, and the hot temperature on his face formed a temperature difference with the surroundings, making him faintly smoke, and he began to stutter when he spoke: "What what?! We are comrades in arms, war, comrades in arms, do you understand? To comrades in arms,

Is it wrong to seek peace and prosperity?"

"You can't tell, a grown man can still blush, so innocently." Shangguan Xue was amused by Luo Man's performance and couldn't help but laugh at him.

Roman was now at a loss, his face was red, and he simply kept his head silent and stopped talking.

Shangguan Xue coughed lightly and brought the topic back: "So, do you still want the Peace Talisman?"

Roman was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say it's useless?"

Shangguan Xue caressed the flower umbrella in her arms and said quietly: "It's useless. All mortals are destined to die. Life and death are determined by destiny. The ways of non-ghosts and gods can be changed at will. But..."

"In my opinion, the Peace Talisman does not need to have any effect. It is a kind of intention that entrusts people's yearning and affection. At least it is very romantic, isn't it?"
