Seven o'clock in the evening is when the Central Avenue Pedestrian Street is at its busiest, with crowds of people rubbing shoulders with each other. When Felix saw children in battle uniforms running past him, he suddenly realized that today was the War Dance Festival.
The origin of the War Dance Festival is the first Duke Vosloda. As the chief legend of the Golden Star Dynasty, the first Duke was not only an undefeated commander, a charging general, but also the source of courage for millions of soldiers on the battlefield.
On the eve of every war, the first Duke would build a high platform, put on a ferocious ghost mask, and wear armor all over his body. As the military band beat the war drums, war songs resounded through the starry sky. The Duke stood on the high platform with two swords in his hands, dancing with his swords, promising to win the war.
Inspire the fighting spirit of the whole army with victory and sword dance!
Since then, war dance has become a traditional performance of the Star Army, and the people also celebrate the decisive battle day of the last war of the Gold Star Dynasty as a festival. On this day, war dance performances will be performed all over the country. On the 100th anniversary of the Gold Star Dynasty,
The War Dance Festival was officially designated as an official holiday. Later, because many children liked to dance the war dance with the performers, some parents gradually began to dress their children in exquisite and beautiful war clothes on this day, so that they could have fun on this day.
It has become a traditional custom over hundreds of years.
Even not just children, many teenagers, girls or adults will put on battle clothes. For ordinary people and most magicians, they may never have the opportunity to wear battle clothes and participate in battle in their lives. The War Dance Festival is one of the few places where they can enjoy a little bit.
An opportunity to experience war.
Recalling last year's War Dance Festival, Felix was still taking care of the sleeping Ash, while Sonia and the others were planning to destroy the starry sky. At this time, she was shocked to realize that it had only been a year. Looking back now, she felt like she was in the stars
The peaceful life I lived was like a lifetime ago.
Perhaps it's because what happened this year was more exciting than her past twenty years. It seemed like she was born into this world just for this year. After seeing the extremely gorgeous fireworks, even the twinkling stars seemed dim.
Light.
"Does it disappoint you that nothing unexpected happened?" Deda Rose, who was wearing a veil, suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Last night, you were actually looking forward to being pulled into the realm of thinking they mentioned many times, right? When you saw Ash, if I hadn't supported you..."
"No way!" Felix retorted anxiously: "I just saw him scared! He pulled us in without even saying hello...even Miss Laina, that trash can!"
"Actually, when you found out that I was there, you should have realized that nothing was going to happen." Deda Rose said leisurely: "It's better that something happens, so that at least you don't have to be as upset as you are now."
Last night, Freya, Shiffrin, Annan, Tamashi, Felix and Deda Rose were all pulled into the realm of longing by Ash to establish a bond.
However, this time Ash was very serious. After explaining to them the world-devouring snake, the stars and the content of the mission in detail, he ended this long-awaited conversation. Nothing that he had been waiting for happened.
According to Ash, he, Sword Princess and the others have not rested for a minute these days. All their time and energy resources have been wasted on the construction of the spell. It was not completely completed until last night. Everyone had to continue to check and fill in the gaps.
. He didn't promise anything, because even if this incident didn't happen, Freya and the others would still be able to get help from Ash after they were promoted to demigods.
He just extended his palms to everyone and said: "Please be my strength again as before."
When the seven hands were stacked together, Felix and the others returned to reality. The sorceresses from different countries gathered together again because of this promise.
Felix originally wanted to refute Deida Rose, but at this time Deida Rose took him to a nearby store and bought two cups of taro paste pop milk tea. The second Miss Vosloda held the warm milk tea and lowered her head to bite the straw.
, the impatience in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an unknown reason for being upset, and he said dullly: "Only Miss Laina will find out."
"Am I the only one who found out?"
Deda Rose's expression was quite subtle:
"Last night in the field of longing, there were only two people with drawn eyes. One was Miss Freya who rushed to hug Ash from the beginning. I won't say who the other one was."
"Really, really?" Felix felt that the blood vessels on his face were getting hot: "Isn't that true?"
"Guess why you have jewelry marks like them? And you happen to have the habit of wearing necklaces." Deida Rose smiled and said, "Even Ash can see it."
"Even Ash can see it..." Felix covered his face weakly: "What's the difference between this and writing it on their face! They must be laughing at me in their hearts!"
“The milk tea in this shop is pretty good.”
"Forget it." Felix quickly regained his composure and sipped the milk tea fiercely: "Anyway, I will complete his mission honestly, and then I will exchange this favor when I am promoted to demigod in the future, and then he and I will never be together again.
It’s related.”
"There is no trace of hell now. If you want to be promoted to a demigod, you can only enter the seventh heaven and become an angel." Deida Rose glanced at her: "Not to mention whether there will be other gods in the future, but if Ash invites you to become him
Angel, will you refuse?"
"... Even if I become his angel, it doesn't mean that I will have a relationship with him and continue to work for him as before." Felix glanced at the lantern hanging on the street: "I have made up my mind.
Pursue power, dedicate my life to magic, and explore the limits of truth. I will suppress those emotions no matter how they arise. Anyway... he has so many lovers, and he will not notice me."
Determination could not hear it, but she could hear the love mixed with grievance... Deida Rose thought for a while and asked: "Then can you and his child be anonymous?"
"Even if I have no name or status, I will still be good...what kind of child!?"
Felix suddenly reacted mid-sentence, blushed and said: "I already told him that I would have nothing to do with him, let alone have any children! And it should be difficult for high-level magicians to breed offspring!
"
"I don't doubt that your current oath is serious, but there is nothing you can do if you can't control yourself when you are in love." Deida Rose glanced at her sideways: "When Ash disappeared before, you always regretted that you didn't
Can you follow Sword Lady and the others into the seventh heaven? Even if you deny your feelings repeatedly, you can't help but long for an opportunity to burn for love... Only in this way can you feel the meaning of your life."
"I originally thought you and Yin Lina were different, but in the end you are both the type who fly to the fire. You know that the fire will burn you, but you are deeply fascinated by the pain."
"Mother?" Felix was startled.
"Have you ever thought about a question," Deida Rose said: "Beverly and your father were childhood sweethearts. Before they met Yin Lina, they were the model couple that everyone in the world of Galle aspired to. It's not like Yin Lina didn't know your father's identity.
, that is to say...she knows very well that she is the third party."
"But it's also that man's fault." Felix said immediately: "If he hadn't been half-hearted——"
"Actually, there was a time when Yin Lina and Beverly were very good friends." Deida Rose suddenly broke the news: "The three of them studied together, traveled together, whispered in the library, and watched under the stars.
We chatted... Vosloda and Yin Lina had tried hard to keep a distance and treat each other as good friends who had lived and died together."
Felix was fascinated: "Then what?"
Deda Rose said: "I don't know the specific details, but Yin Lina told me that when she and Vosloda made up their minds to be together, Beverly once asked her personally, "Take happiness away from me."
If you have something for yourself, can you really feel happy from the bottom of your heart?”
"Mother...how to answer?"
"She told Vosloda about it and said, 'Of course I can't do such a thing and still feel happy from the bottom of my heart.'"
"So they separated?"
"If they separated, how could they still have you?" Deda Rose smiled: "Vosloda also thought she refused, but Yin Lina continued, "As long as I can be with you, I don't care even if it is like this.
"."
Felix was stunned, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although she has always complained about her father, doesn't she hate her mother at all? How is that possible? The fact that she always calls Deida Rose Miss Lena instead of aunt is a subtle indication of her resistance to her mother.
On countless nights when she couldn't sleep, she pulled up the quilt to cover herself, as if she was lying in her mother's arms, until her tears wet the pillow. Why did she give birth to me, why did she leave me, why didn't she love me, those people who screamed hoarse
Her screams kept echoing in the quilt, and gradually she stopped making any sound; the pillow was filled with tears that would never dry up, and gradually she stopped shedding tears.
She gradually became a quiet adult, but her hatred for her father became deeper and deeper. She even joined the Four Pillar Cult just to destroy the starry kingdom that her father valued. But did she also superimpose her hatred for her mother on her father?
?Even she herself couldn’t explain clearly.
But as Deida Rose talked about it, Felix seemed to be able to see a girl with bright eyes and white teeth. She was quirky, smart and cute, as passionate and blazing as the sun, and she couldn't even hide herself...
She once thought about accepting a fate that was difficult to live with, but in the end she was willing to fight against everything and cling to her own happiness. She was the kind of person who was so stubborn that she had to finish the road she chose on her knees.
Her mother was once as young as her.
"Vosloda and Yin Lina once left everything behind and eloped," Deida Rose continued to break the news in a nonchalant tone: "It's a pity that two small things happened later."
"What little thing?"
"The first thing is that your uncle you have never seen is dead, and the second thing is that your grandfather you have never seen is critically ill." Deida Rose said: "Even if he ran away, Vosloda still has
Your uncle is the heir, but your uncle was accidentally in danger while adventuring into the abyss, and then your grandfather, the old Duke, was severely injured while exploring the virtual realm. His soul was almost dead, and he could hardly do anything while lying in bed."
"Vosloda came back because he really had no choice. The old Duke asked him to marry Beverly on the day he returned to Kalashi. However, he insisted not to inherit the title and delayed it until the old Duke passed away three years later."
Felix thought thoughtfully: "Dimi is three years older than me..."
"I actually doubted whether your uncle's murder was related to Beverly. After all, this is the only way to force your father to go back." Deida Rose sighed: "Beverly is also the kind of woman who flies into the flame and does not burn.
I’m totally unwilling to do anything.”
The milk tea in her hand only had a dull warmth. Felix looked up at the starry sky, and the stars in the sky seemed to fall into her eyes.
She remembered the fairy tale her mother told her when she was a child. The dead people did not leave, but turned into stars in the night sky to protect their relatives on the ground.
So, father, mother, are you watching me...?
Felix suddenly laughed and said to himself: "A magician can't be so childish."
She took a long breath, looked back at the bustling street in front of her, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and drank the milk tea in one breath.
There are always people with whom you have to reconcile, because if you don't reconcile with them, your life will be impossible.
"So, what should I do?" She looked at Deida Rose: "Auntie."
The most beautiful woman under the starry sky was startled for a moment, then a smile bloomed under the veil, and she held Felix's hand affectionately, "Don't worry, I will help you."
"Now let's complete the task first," she looked up at the cathedral standing at the end of the pedestrian street, and tightened the white gloves given by Asher: "The seventh heaven is our battlefield."
Virtual wings, unfold!
Felix and Deda Rose flew to the bell at the top of the church, and all the passers-by on the street raised their heads to look up at them. Originally, the legendary virtual wings and the holy virtual wings were rare for ordinary people to see, but their colorful tail feathers
, which makes heaven and earth eclipse.
Everyone stared at them blankly, their minds absorbed by the coquettish and agile Supreme Void Wings.
Deida Rose took off her veil, and as the peerless singer sang, the miraculously enhanced natural sound walked in the sky, just like walking on the earth! A white feather appeared in Felix's palm, and as she gently blew the feather,
The air currents with a radius of thousands of miles also flowed accordingly, conveying Deida Rose's song to the farthest corners of the starry earth.
When all sentient beings were lost in the ethereal singing, Felix's command penetrated their eardrums and reached their souls: "I dedicate the stars to the great Lord of the Void Realm, who is the supreme, the most powerful, the most virtuous, the most powerful.
The existence of kindness rules the entire world with fetters and connects the fate of all lives!"
She raised her head and saw the bright starry sky gradually dissolving under the pressure of colorful colors.
"The world surrenders to the glory of the Lord of the Void Realm!"
"I dedicate the gospel to the great Lord of the Realm. He is the supreme, most powerful, most virtuous, and most kind existence. He rules the entire world with fetters and connects the fate of all lives!"
In the Yisu Palace and Witch Office, An Nan, dressed in purple gauze, sat on a chair and issued the highest order to the whole country with the help of the gospel system:
"In the name of the sound of the flute, I pray for the protection of the Lord of the Void Realm!"
Black Crow sat opposite her, with a hint of disbelief in his tone: "Is this okay?"
"If this doesn't work, then have I worked hard to rule the gospel in the past two years in vain?" An Nan opened the freezer and took out red wine and ice water. Black Crow said she would only drink water and gave her the ice water, then flicked the red wine away.
He filled his mouth with a cork and poured it into his mouth.
Finally, she wiped the wine that slipped from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "I used to pour it into a cup and slowly sober up, but one day it was too much trouble and I just drank it. Suddenly I thought it was quite interesting."
"If the gospel can be conquered in this way, then there is no need for me to come." Black Crow said, "I should go to other countries to help."
"It's not like you don't know their strength, no problem. And it's useless for you to go. What you need to conquer the world is wide-area deterrence. The melee combat you are good at cannot be said to be useless, but it can only be used to prevent emergencies.
An Nan iced his cheek with a wine bottle: "And don't you think it's interesting to group them up like this? Freya and Shiffrin, Felix and Deda Rose, me and you."
"Do you have something to tell me?" Tamashi frowned: "I'm not used to this roundabout way of talking... It's just as troublesome as Yingula and Tanomu."
"If nothing else happens, from now on Yaxiu will be the supreme master of the virtual realm." An Nan stood up and opened the curtains and said: "With his ability, it will be easy for us to protect us and become demigods. However, I guess you should
You’re not in a hurry to enter the seventh heaven, are you?”
Tamashi nodded: "I want to perfect my ideas and strengthen my beliefs in the world. Before that, I will not step into heaven."
"I'm about the same." An Nan said: "My Majesty the Queen definitely does not plan to return to the human world. I must at least train the next generation of chief witches in the gospel and thoroughly implement my policy agenda before I can be promoted with peace of mind."
"Have you noticed, Black Crow, you and I are both aliens." She turned to look at Tamashi, "Although it's not that we don't like Ash, for us, liking is just the most gorgeous packaging of this relationship. We
What I’m looking for in Ash is different from others.”
"For you, Ash is not so much a lover, but your closest comrade. You want to follow him until the end of time, and you want to practice your idea of killing all the crows with him."
"For me, Ash is a shortcut to realizing my ideals. By conquering him, I can conquer the world and seize supreme power."
"If there were a ranking list for people who like Ash, we might not even be in the top ten."
Tamashi tilted her head: "That seems to be the case, so what?"
"By the time we step into heaven, the division of power within the kingdom will probably have been completed." An Nan approached Tamashi and put his hand on her shoulder: "We may be excluded."
"I do not care."
"Do you really not care?" An Nan massaged Tamashi's shoulders with both hands, and whispered into her ear: "No matter what ideas you have, no matter what you want to experiment, no matter what you need, maybe the Lord of the Void Realm
Any thought can help you realize it.”
"I'll just ask him for it."
"Of course Ash will meet your request, but don't you feel embarrassed? If it is an equal exchange, shouldn't we also pay something?"
Tamashi hesitated: "He can mention——"
An Nan smiled and said: "If he is willing to satisfy you unconditionally, can you enjoy his kindness with peace of mind?"
Tamashi was silent for a moment, and a depressed voice came from under the mask: "I'm really not used to this way of talking. Just tell me what you think."
"Let's form an alliance." An Nan sat back in her seat and stretched out her hand: "As people who also have needs for Ya Xiu, let's work together to make Ya Xiu happy."
Tamashi took a deep look at An Nan and held her hand.
A small part of the starry sky outside the window has been eroded by the colorful waves.
"I dedicate the blood moon to the great Lord of the Virtual Realm. He is the supreme, most powerful, most virtuous, and most kind existence. He rules the entire world with fetters and connects the fate of all lives!"
In the Blood Moon Kingdom, Freya spread her empty wings and flew under the night sky, repeating these words as if singing. Wherever the sound reached, the earth was covered with flowers, the creatures were intoxicated and laughing, and even the night became gentle.
"Friya, wait for me!"
Shiffrin followed behind, feeling indescribable frustration in her heart - she was a blood saint who was famous for flying, but she couldn't fly fast enough for a Veela!
And it was obviously a task for two people, but Freya did all the work alone. In just ten minutes, she had conquered three Blood Moon cities, and Shiffrin didn't help at all!
Freya slowed down slightly and waited for her to catch up, urging: "Quick, quick, quick, we must conquer the Blood Moon Kingdom as quickly as possible!"
"The fastest is definitely An Nan and the others, let's not even think about it." Shifflin was angry and funny: "Are you so anxious to see Ash? This is the first time I've seen you work so hard."
"What are you talking about?" Freya looked confused: "Ash is saving the world, and we are the only ones who can help him. How can we not be careful? This is a major event related to the fate of the world!"
Shifflin was speechless by what she said, and even felt that she was out of touch: "I'm sorry."
"And Ash said he wanted me to help him!" Freya clenched her fists and her eyes turned into the shape of a heart: "Ash is so cute when he needs help! And he should be able to help me after this incident is over.
After being promoted to demigod, I can go to the Seventh Heaven and be with him forever, hehe, hehehe~"
Seeing the flowers blooming around the Veela again, and being indulged in a completely indescribable fantasy of peach color, Shiffrin raised her forehead and felt that the Veela who was wholeheartedly saving the world just now was cuter.
She hesitated and asked: "So Freya, will you be promoted to demigod as soon as possible and become Ash's angel?"
"Of course!" Freya waved her fist randomly: "I don't want to stay in a world without Ash for a moment!"
"But have you ever thought about it," Shiffrin said carefully: "The time you spent with Ash before was actually relatively short, and you didn't have much contact. Once you really live with Ash, he might -"
"Are you asking me if I have ever thought that he would hate me? I have." Freya shook her head and said, "I actually know that I am unlovable and boring. I am as ordinary as an advertisement. Ash and
If you keep in touch with me for a while, you will definitely get bored and choose someone cuter and better——"
"No!" Shiffrin pressed her shoulders and retorted loudly: "You are the cutest and most interesting Veela!"
"Hehe, Sif is also the cutest and most interesting little bat." Freya smiled sillyly, "So don't worry, I've thought about it very seriously."
"But if Ash really doesn't like you anymore, won't you be... sad?"
"I will definitely be sad if I am sad, but as long as I can be with Ash, it will be fine."
Shifflin was startled: "Why? He obviously doesn't like you anymore, why are you still with him?"
"What does it have to do with me that he doesn't like me?" Freya blinked and reached out to touch Shiffrin's face: "The most important thing Ash taught me is the ability to love others."
"We are worthy of being loved, and we are worthy of loving others."
"Whether Ash likes me or not, just liking him makes me very happy."
Freya took Shiffrin's hand and said in a light voice: "Let's go, let's continue to help Ash conquer the world!"
Shiffrin looked at her stupidly and was dragged forward by her. The Blood Saint legend suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Veela's waist tightly. Veela was surprised and happy: "Wow~ Shiv actually acted like a baby, it's so strange
!”
"You just need to follow your heart and like Ash as always," Shiffrin said seriously, "I will help you seize happiness."
"We will all seize happiness." Freya rubbed Shiffrin's head and said softly: "Because we are opening up the future of this world, how can fate treat us badly?"
They raised their heads and saw the dazzling sea of stars that could not be obscured by the blood moon. At this time, nearly half of it was infected by the colorful waves. The stars and the colors complemented each other, weaving a dream-like night sky, and together they shed the supreme glory.
