Suellen had lived in Rose Manor for a while, and everything here was very familiar.
After entering, not only the gardens and courtyards were exactly the same as in the memory, but also almost all the servants in the manor were the familiar faces from before.
The servants looked at Su Lun coming, and no one treated him as a guest at all, but as the master of the manor.
As they had done before, they all stood on both sides of the road and bowed: "Sir, you are back."
"Um."
Su Lun didn't feel any barrier and walked all the way.
In addition to Martina and Jessica, the other four personal maids were already waiting at the door.
He walked over and several maids greeted him in unison: "Hello, sir~"
Their smiles were as bright as flowers.
Su Lun also smiled.
A few maids once served personally in the catering and daily life, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
As soon as she entered the door, Martina took her windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack. Several other maids also greeted her, sorting her boots, cleaning the dust, and taking out the clothes at home to help Suellen change into.
Su Lun originally just wanted to meet Ekaterina and didn't want to live here. But before he could say anything, the maids had already done everything naturally.
Just like in those days, they took good care of the male master's daily life.
While Jessica was helping to arrange the clothes, she asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to take a rest first? If you feel tired, the slave can give you a massage. The lady may not be back for a while."
When Su Lun heard this, he recalled the palace secret massage that was indeed worth remembering, but he also said: "No. I'll go to the study and sit for a while."
Most of the time I spent with Ekaterina at Rose Manor, the two of them stayed in the study on the second floor. That familiar environment was perfect for waiting for someone.
"Okay, sir."
Jessica responded with a smile, and then led Su Lun up to the second floor.
The decoration in the house was exactly the same as a few years ago, and Su Lun was not unfamiliar with it at all.
Jessica helped open the study door, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider and walked in.
The maids brought hot drinks and pastries and left consciously.
They all knew that their master had the habit of reading quietly.
Su Lun walked to the sofa by the window, and memories emerged before his eyes. He and Ekaterina had been quietly busy with their own affairs by the window, spending a peaceful but unforgettable day.
The moonlight outside the window was pleasant, the wind rustled the leaves, and the light and shadow danced on the wall.
This corner of the study always makes people feel at ease.
Su Lun sat on the sofa he was used to sitting on, took a sip of the warm coffee, and casually glanced around the bookcases all over the wall.
There are few alchemical books on the bookshelf by the window, but mostly poetry and literature.
This is also Ekaterina's favorite book to read in her spare time.
She has the habit of leaving a label after reading a book.
Su Lun looked at the many extra labels and knew that the one who became the emperor still maintained his love for reading.
His eyes passed by, and suddenly, Su Lun's eyes flashed.
In his current vision, the alchemy plane has no secrets. At a glance, there is a very special book on the bookshelf.
This book with a purple gold cover contains complete world rules. It is a very powerful cursed object. It is very similar to the characteristics of the [Death Novel·Land of Underworld] obtained back then.
There is a name on the book cover: "Xiangri's Windmill Castle".
Su Lun's expression suddenly changed, from sharp to soft, as if he had thought of something.
If he remembered correctly, "The Windmill to the Sun" was the steam castle where "Fick" and Ekaterina went on their honeymoon after their wedding.
Unfortunately, in order to ambush the "immortal monster monk" Rasputin, that trip ended right from the beginning.
Looking at this note now, Su Lun's thoughts are mixed.
He walked over and took out the notebook. As he looked through it, the surrounding scene changed, and he had entered the world in the book.
The first page of the book reads: It was a spring day with brilliant mountain flowers and a bright sun. In the breeze-swept valley, a steam travel castle was emitting white smoke. On the light green lawn, a man with a flaxen whip
, the girl with freckles on her face is painting an oil painting about spring
The words turned into pictures, and the pictures suddenly came alive before my eyes.
You can see the colorful wild flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains.
As soon as Su Lun came in, the breeze blew on his face, bringing with it the fragrance of wild flowers.
Not far away is the punk-style and romantic Windmill Castle.
The time is quiet and unfocused.
There is a girl wearing a hat on the hillside not far away. She is wearing a plain white dress, and the skirt is dotted with tiny yellow chrysanthemums. She looks into the distance from time to time, and lowers her head from time to time to draw on her drawing board.
What are you wearing?
"Huh~"
Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew by, causing ripples on the grass.
The long skirt swayed lightly in the wind, and the girl quickly pressed down the skirt with her hands, but the beige wide-brimmed hat with a lace bow on her head was also blown up by the wind.
The girl panicked and tried to grab the hat, but as soon as her fingertips touched it, the hat fled happily on the wind, only catching a wisp of breeze.
In a blink of an eye, the hat was carried by the wind and fell into the hands of Su Lun who stopped to watch.
When she turned around, she saw a girl with big flaxen braids. She had slight dimples when she smiled, as if all the pure and beautiful things in the world were left on that innocent face.
The two looked at each other, and the girl seemed to recognize the person. She grinned brightly and greeted excitedly: "Long time no see, Mr. Su Lun~"
When we met again, she opened her mouth just like before.
Su Lun still remembered clearly that the first time the two met was at the Star Hotel in Luying's Northern Blizzard City.
At that time, he went to look for his lost ring and met the buyer face to face in the hotel.
When we met for the first time, the girl with big braids and freckles on her face introduced herself seriously: "My name is Katyusha, and I am a trainee 'astrologer'."
It was like reuniting an old friend who has known her for a long time, Katyusha's eyes were filled with happiness from the bottom of her heart.
As she spoke, she held down the hem of her skirt and ran down the hillside happily.
The girl rushed into her arms, and a girl's fragrance rushed into her nose. She looked up at herself, her eyes were like the stars on a summer night. Su Lun suddenly felt a familiar warmth surge into his heart, and a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth.
, "Katyusha, long time no see."
It was as if they had never been separated.
"Mr. Sullen, can I write you into my story?"
"I wouldn't mind if I was the protagonist."
"You are so greedy. But in my story, what should I do if I want to be the protagonist?"
"Ah, in that story, just write a romantic love story."
"I don't want it! Astrology tells me that I will be the brightest star in the future. Superfluous things like love will only hinder my speed of drawing the sword!"
"If you haven't experienced heart-wrenching love, how can you write a good story that makes people cry?"
"Hey, it seems to make sense. I'll tell you later when I've figured out how to write our story."
"."
It turned out that she actually wrote their story into poetry.
The world of this poem is not as complete as the "Land of Underworld" in terms of laws, but it uses poetry as a carrier to record a complete love story.
There is a little girl who is as ordinary as an ugly duckling. She is innocent, loves poetry, loves time, white clouds, and the night. She loves all beautiful things.
She traveled the entire continent as a bard, originally thinking that she would be an aloof poet.
But on the way she met a man named Su Lun, and it turned into the most romantic encounter in her life.
"Mr. Su Lun, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems like it's been a long, long time."
"yes."
"."
Su Lun and the girl with big pigtails sat on the pedals of the windmill, blowing the cool spring breeze and looking at the beautiful scenery of blooming mountain flowers in front of them.
Katyusha posed with her white legs happily, and the two of them were as close as they were in the Emerald Holy Land, with no barriers at all.
She is not Catherine, and she does not have the domineering power of the empress in charge of the United Empire.
She is just a kind, pure girl who likes poetry and life.
"Do you remember why I bit you in the first place?"
"Ah, I was drunk and lost my mind at the time. It took me a long, long time to remember it."
"You hateful guy, I obviously let you take advantage at that time, but you still despise me for being young?"
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't grown up either."
"Hmm? Just try again, there will be a change, okay?"
"."
In Su Lun's current state, he can see through any illusion at a glance.
Even a book world of the level of [Land of Underworld] is the same.
But, in this "Windmill Castle toward the Sun", he was immersed, obsessed, and wanted to stay in this world for a long time.
He even had an idea in his mind that he wanted to travel the world with that girl and complete that romantic journey.
As we chatted, my thoughts seemed to be in a very mysterious state.
Hazy, psychedelic, imaginary and unreal.
Su Lun has actually been thinking about a question: Do people in low-latitude worlds really exist?
Just like the characters in the world of the book.
The higher the rank, the more this doubt is not resolved, but becomes more blurred.
Can't deny it.
It can't be confirmed either.
This question will probably only be answered when you truly reach the divine level.
No matter how thick a book is, it will always be finished one day.
Su Lun couldn't bear to turn to the end, but it became thinner page by page.
Pictures flashed through his mind like a slideshow, and he realized that there was that girl on every page. She was playful, lively, and cute.
When he turned to the last page, the girl stood in the place where the mountain flowers were blooming, smiling awkwardly, waving her arms towards him: "Mr. Su Lun, goodbye, you have to take good care of yourself."
It was like saying goodbye in the Emerald Holy Land.
She once said: I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, because this is the best ending I can think of for the story.
Su Lun sighed slightly.
The best story ending is left in poetry.
At this moment, he completely understood what was the most precious thing that Fujiwara Hayato left in his novel.
The great writer wrote down the story of his youth, waiting for the white-haired girl to be found again and see their original appearance.
Use pen and ink to smooth out the changes of the years.
From the moment they opened the first page of the book, they got to know each other again, just like before.
"Hello, my beautiful deskmate, my name is Gustave. Nice to meet you. My dream is to become a great writer and adventurer! Now, we are classmates."
"Hello, my name is Natasha~"
That beautiful period will remain in the novel forever.
When it is reopened, the story begins again.
Another hot and romantic love.
With the thought in mind, Su Lun also opened the notebook from the beginning.
It was still the valley where mountain flowers were blooming, a steam castle called Xiangri Windmill, and a girl in a floral white dress was leisurely and attentively painting an oil painting on the hillside.
The wind blew up her hat, and she reached out to take it off. She looked back and saw the man standing by the roadside, and smiled: "Long time no see, Mr. Su Lun~"
Su Lun also looked at her with a smile in her eyes, "Long time no see, Katyusha."
He saw the girl in his memory again and again.
again and again.
The world in this book is so beautiful that it makes you sink.
In the quiet study room, Su Lun stood in front of the bookcase and carefully read the book of poems.
His whole person fell into a very mysterious state.
Looking through "Windmill to the Sun", he felt that his world seemed to have made up for something very important.
Something he seemed to have overlooked was caught in his hands.
Su Lun suddenly felt as if he was complete.
He can look down upon life and death.
But when I really have to leave the alchemy plane, it seems that the only things I really can’t let go of are the most important people I’ve met in my life.
No one disturbed him, and the moonlight poured in from the window and shone on his face.
And the slightly raised curve of the corners of his mouth.
He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
But at this moment, there was a small sound outside the door.
The maids would never bother him unless summoned.
Su Lun also looked slightly sideways.
At this time, I saw a pair of white lotus-like arms pushing open the slightly open study door, and then a little head slipped in through the crack in the door.
It was a little girl with beautiful purple hair who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
About four or five years old.
She looked at Su Lun in the study, her jewel-like eyes still a little strange. But she blinked curiously and looked at the stranger in front of her.
Su Lun saw this little girl who looked very similar to Ekaterina at a glance, and couldn't look away anymore.
When he saw the crystal pendant hanging on her chest, he immediately understood what was going on.
This is the space pendant that I once gave to Ekaterina.
I used to wonder why I was in the manor,
It turned out to be on her.
Su Lun looked at it, and suddenly there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart, and his eyes became gentle.
The purple-haired little girl didn't seem to recognize strangers. Her big watery eyes stared at Su Lun again and again, and finally she timidly asked: "Are you daddy?"
She asked in an uncertain tone, and then added: "Mommy said that only Daddy will come to the study."
When Su Lun heard this, the corners of his eyes suddenly felt wet.
I have been a man for two lifetimes, and this is the first time I heard this title.
Very strange feeling.
But it goes straight to the bottom of my heart.
"OK."
A gentle smile appeared on Su Lun's face, and after thinking about it, he opened his arms.
When the purple-haired girl heard the response, her blue eyes lit up like shining stars.
At a young age, she is already charmingly beautiful.
Her little porcelain face instantly burst into a happy smile. After hesitating for a moment, she trotted over and ran into Su Lun's arms.
Su Lun raised the girl and looked at his reflection in her eyes. He suddenly felt that there were more and more things in this world that he missed.
The little girl was very happy, as if she had got the most precious treasure. She seemed to have held back a lot of words, and she chirped very quickly: "Daddy, why haven't you come home for so long? Mommy said, you are
The great adventurer and the great hero will go to many places to destroy monsters and maintain world peace."
"OK."
Su Lun had mixed feelings in her heart as she listened and didn't know how to respond.
He wanted to call the little girl's name, but found that he didn't know it.
Fortunately, the little girl said it herself.
She became even more excited when she heard Su Lun's response. She raised her arms and waved: "Vivian will become like her father in the future, become a great adventurer and defeat monsters!"
Originally, all children liked to hear stories about heroes and adventures.
But for a father, it seems empty and too far away.
With so many thoughts in his mind, Su Lun looked at the shiny purple hair scattered, and suddenly thought of something. He drew strokes in front of him with his fingers, and a red nine-pointed star alchemy array appeared.
Seeing this scene, the little girl's face was full of excitement, "Wow~ It's a nine-pointed star. Teacher Ma Qi said that this is the most powerful alchemy!"
"Um."
Su Lun smiled slightly when he heard this. He didn't know who "Teacher March" was.
Early in the morning, he discovered that there was a dark-type ninth-level professional in the shadow in the corner who was secretly protecting him. If he guessed correctly, it should be the deputy commander of the Military Intelligence Department, codenamed "Black JOKER", March Keton.
The little girl didn't know that just by mentioning her name, Commander Ma Qi, who was considered the strongest shadow guard in the empire, shuddered and swallowed his saliva.
If the masters can tell the difference with just one thought, then the gap is really huge.
The ninth-level man knew very well that this person in the room was the real terror.
There was no malice, and Su Lun ignored the shadow. While holding the little girl, he threw a lot of high-level materials into the alchemy array with one hand. Then he pinched the warlock's seal, and a hairpin slowly took shape.
This thing is similar to the [Celeiya Blessing] that his teacher gave him, a small thing with the characteristics of blessing, protection, and luck.
Su Lun made it, and then used his hand as a pen to inscribe a line of words on the hairpin: "To my dearest baby——Vivian".
He held the shiny hairpin and asked: "Vivian, I have a small gift for you. Do you like it?"
The face of the little girl in her arms was full of anticipation, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah! I like it very much!"
Even though she couldn't wait, the court etiquette she had been taught since childhood prevented her from reaching out to take it. Instead, she tilted her head, looking elegant and waiting for someone to help her put it on.
Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes were full of tenderness.
He reached out and put the hairpin on Vivian's head himself.
The little girl was very happy.
Coincidentally, at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Su Lun knew who was coming without looking.
The maid pushed the door open, and a beautiful face came into view. Her head was full of purple hair, and she was wearing a gorgeous golden imperial robe. Who else could she be if she wasn't Ekaterina?
Su Lun and Catherine who came back looked at each other.
Suddenly, two figures overlapped in Su Lun's eyes.
She is not Katyusha.
But Katyusha is her.
Haven't had time to say anything yet.
Vivian Xing, who was in Su Lun's arms, shouted excitedly: "Mommy, Mommy~ look, daddy is back!"
Ekaterina smiled slightly.
Su Lun also laughed.
Just looking at each other, it seemed like they didn't say anything, but they seemed to say a lot.
Ekaterina blinked her eyelashes slightly, her eyes were smiling, and she pondered for a moment, then softly said: "Long time no see."
Su Lun listened and sighed in his heart for a moment, then said: "Well, long time no see."
Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and I don’t know where it is scattered.
The last time we saw each other was many years ago.
See you next time, I don’t know how many years later.
