As Villets walked down the stairs, the light around him began to change and turned into a warm yellow light.
It looks like a sunrise, but it is not, it is just a cycle created by the light.
There are no windows here, and there is no trace of the sky or the outside world from the inside.
When she came to a sealed iron door, she spoke to the communicator beside her:
"It's me."
The thinking machine buzzed, and then the lights turned from red to green, and the heavy door opened.
The room is a circle, with the walls and the floors made of obsidian, but here, there is no sunrise in the light, and the night is always maintained here, hundreds of tiny linear tubes surround the black stones, flashing the stars in space.
A human figure emerged in the darkness and walked through the room as Villets moved a little in the chair.
Villetz also found a simple wooden chair herself, and she sat down and placed her hands on her slender and elegant thighs.
“It looks like a wonderful night, Kalima.”
"Yes."
The other party replied casually that Villetz had always been curious about why the other party lived in such a place, but the person never gave her a real explanation.
Her most common answer is usually-
"Only in the shadows, the stars are always so bright."
Then the human figure stood up from the chair and walked out of the darkness. She was wearing the same light and flexible armor as hers, her pale hair was coiled up with a row of golden buckles, her body was strong and symmetrical, her curves were exaggerated, and her blue eyes were sharp and firm.
She smiled at the Grand Sister when she saw her.
"Anna, are you dreaming again?"
"Hasn't it been like this all the time?"
Kalima Seid Orsson, the most trustworthy person in the Order of Villets, is not only a nun with superb martial arts skills, but also has a talent for touching other people's souls.
More importantly, she is also a dream interpreter and is very good at interpreting dreams.
And her purity is beyond doubt. According to the information, she is twenty-six years old this year from an ancient family in Terra and served the empire during the Great Expedition.
Originally, she was even qualified to compete with Villets for the position of Grand Sister, but she voluntarily gave up and told Villets that she saw some unique light in her and concluded that she must have shouldered a huge mission and responsibility.
Kalima Seid Orsson not only has outstanding personal strength, but also has a very deep background, and even leverages the will of the senior officials of the state education. It is precisely with her support that Villet became a major monk.
"let me see."
Tina smiled and stretched out her two thin cold hands on Villets' face.
She was silent for a while, and finally when she put down her arm, she spit out three words from her mouth—
“——Paishangxing.”
At that moment, some force rushed through Villets like a storm, making her feel as if she had lost her balance. The false night sky in the surrounding room quickly disappeared and the world began to churn.
She suddenly couldn't help but blink.
When Villets opened his eyes again, he saw a completely different towering corridor.
The corridor was lit by the shaking candlelight—there were hundreds, even thousands, and the floors and walls were made of pale stones, splicing together like broken pottery. The sound of a storm echoed in the corridor, bringing a biting wind to the candlelight.
“This place…”
Villets looked at Kalima, and the other party smiled at her.
"Your home."
The Grand Nun nodded.
“Yes, home.”
They walked through the corridor together, and Kalima whispered softly beside Villets, observing all the details of the dream.
Usually, a place in a dream has different shapes and twists, but there is no place here, except for those candles, which is exactly the same as the home in Villets' memory, and even the smell is exactly the same.
The smell of smoke from candles, the smell of rain and cold air, and the fragrance of the soil from the pine forest.
Every hanging cloth is where they should be, and every book and every parchment placed in the small hole in the wall is perfectly correct.
“I’ve never seen this place.”
"Because I haven't dreamed of this place since I left, it's been... for many years."
Villets found himself holding a lamp in his hand, and then slightly raised it up.
"here."
She pointed upwards, and the bare stone steps became smooth by generations. If I listened more carefully, I could hear the chirping of the birds above.
The two began to walk up the stairs, which were narrow and steep, and stretched upward in circles.
The birds' chirping became louder and louder, until the door leading to the top of the tower appeared at the end of the stairs, the floor was covered with feathers and straw, shaking with the wind pouring in from the huge windows.
A few black swallows bent their claws and perched in their nests, crying towards the storm.
Villets looked at them, nor did Kalima, they were looking at the mountains in the distance and the terrible storm that enveloped them.
Then Villets placed his hand on the rocks in the window frame, feeling the coldness under his hands. The mountain wind blowing on his face was still cold, mixed with rain.
"Why bring me here?"
The Grand Sister turned her head to look at her most trusted consultant.
Kalima nodded to the distant mountains, and Villets looked closely and saw a lonely figure of a bird passing through the storm.
She shouldn't have seen it, the sky was still dark, but the bird shone out on its own like the lamp in her hand.
Its feathers burned dazzlingly in the violent thunderstorm and pre-dawn darkness, and they scattered a little with each flapping their wings, leaving a shiny path.
"Dawn will follow him soon."
Villets looked at the shining bird in the sky and said softly:
"What if dawn never comes and darkness always covers the sky?"
Kalima smiled and looked patiently at the young grand nun.
"Dawn will finally come, it is destined... After all, if there is night, then day must also appear, and you only need to follow your heart."
Villets shook his head.
"But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will one day let my oath down..."
Kalima walked forward, put on the shoulder of the great nun, and pointed to the rainy sky.
"Seeking the Silver Eagle, Anna."
She pointed at the bird, the raptor.
"The light will come with him, burning all the shadows."
Villets did see that a dazzling light behind the silver-gray falcon illuminated the sky.
The storm was easily driven away by it.
No, it's not just light.
It is a miracle.
The light continued to radiate from the eagle in the center until the light was the only thing she could see, until she was wrapped in light and heat, not only her skin, but also her soul felt an incredible warmth.
"Follow that eagle."
Then the eagle and the heavy rain disappeared, and Villets returned to the secret room of the monastery in a dizzy moment.
"The time is coming."
Kalima grabbed Villets' face and made her look at herself, her blue eyes bright and firm.
"You have realized that he is in danger on Pai Shangxing, so don't hesitate. This is your mission."
A tear flowed out of Villets' eyes, and Kalima wiped it clean with her thumb, stroking the outline of her chin.
"Remember, we won't betray our oath, I will always be with you."
After the opponent's hand was removed from his face, Villetz smiled emptyly.
"Yes."
She has ruined many things in her long life, but never broke the oath, no matter how much pain she would feel when she kept it.
“We will not rebel against our oath.”
After Villets left, Kalima returned to her chair, motionless like a sculpture-
