Chapter 626: A feeling of expectation and the key that has not yet been lit
In the afternoon at the dazzling manor, the auditorium garden on the top floor of the villa,
The light comes from the row of narrow arched windows several meters high on one side, covering the deep red carpet, the ornately embossed pillars, and the white gauze curtains that sway high in the wind.
Different from the tranquility and tranquility in the evening, the afternoon in the garden...
The sun is shining brightly.
The angle of light, the flow of air, and the angle of shadow movement in the afternoon that are most suitable for sitting on the balcony. What many people don’t know is that the entire villa was originally
In fact, it is all just to build this garden for one person who can most perfectly overlook the sea of flowers.
Without the obstruction of tall buildings, the wind in the manor in the northern suburbs of Beijing is freer. The balcony that happens to be covered by the shade of the courtyard,
At this moment, the figure in the dark blue dress looked at the young man who had finally returned safely, and finally felt relieved.
"Welcome back safely, Fangran."
And hearing her say such words, facing the comfort and gentleness that really belonged to the elders at this moment, Fangran suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and felt apologetic.
Part of it was because of his reckless behavior this time, and more of it was because of when he faced Shui Linlang before...
"that..."
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."
But before he even opened his mouth, Shui Linlang smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't need to apologize for the previous meeting.
Then he looked at the young man in front of him who had just recovered from a serious injury, as if looking at a child who had run away from home and finally returned, with a touch of distressed tenderness in his eyes.
"Compared to that, how does it feel to be on a long journey alone in a foreign country?"
The moment I heard her ask this question, I was slightly in a trance. Starting from the forced expulsion of anxiety and nervous boarding of the flight, I traveled to Northern Europe, Norway, Oslo...enemies of unknown origin and the voyage on the icebreaker.
Trekking in the uninhabited North Pole made Fangran lower his eyes and smile with a sigh.
"To be honest, it's more tiring than I thought."
Shui Linlang stared at him, at this young man who was extremely attached to his daily life, but yet personally forced himself to get on the plane to the North Pole.
Seeing him scratching his head and smiling slightly, he raised his head and looked at the sea of flowers outside the balcony, but his eyes were unfocused, as if he were looking at the ice field in the far north of the world.
"When I really trekked through the seemingly endless ice field by myself, I realized that I was even more uneasy and hesitant than I thought."
"Every minute and every second I am thinking about whether there is enough food, whether the energy of the life-support armor needs to be replenished, how far I still need to go, how much magic energy I still have..."
Withdrawing his unfocused gaze, Fangran looked at Shui Linlang and smiled bitterly, not knowing what expression to show:
"I kept imagining in my mind what kind of situation I should use when facing Zero Cavalry, imagining various situations,"
"In the end, I even began to wonder if there was really an operation by the Nightless Palace in front of me. Could this all be just my conjecture? When I got there, I discovered that no one was actually there."
Thinking back to the more than ten hours of wandering in the North Pole, maybe I could only sit at the courtyard table as usual like this, or maybe I could only face Shui Linlang, who knew everything and was an elder,
Only then could Fang Ran openly confide all his uneasiness at that time without any reservation.
"but...."
The moment when I fell into the ice sea and my tears melted into the sea water, I felt the boundless powerlessness and despair,
Suddenly, the world was turned upside down, and I returned to Italy a hundred years ago. I recalled the wonderful and incredible time I spent with that young girl.
Fangran lowered his eyes to look at his smiling reflection in the black tea in front of him, and rubbed the pattern on the side of the tea cup with his hands.
"feel good."
"In my divination, in addition to the Night Angel in the scene a hundred years ago, you also saw the Queen of the Nightless Palace of that era?"
Although he had predicted a certain scene in it, but actually knowing that Fangran had entered a scene that went back a hundred years was beyond Shui Linlang's expectation.
"Um..."
Speaking of the figure that seemed to be covered with a layer of light, Fangran looked quiet and nodded.
"How did it feel to meet that queen?"
"It feels... not like the perfect and selfless saint in religion as I guessed, but more like a real 'person',"
"It's amazing that a person can reach such a high level and have such a great and enviable personality."
Hearing Shui Linlang ask about his feelings, Fangran let go of the teacup and recalled all the experiences he had with the figure he met.
Whether it was the scene or the reality, the meaning of the name 'Varline' gave him an incomparable shock.
"Almost a hundred years ago, when I was a little girl who had just awakened my abilities, the queen once came to the nightclub to meet my teacher about the war."
teacher...?
Could it be that ‘sir’ from Midnight?
Listening to Shui Linlang recounting the memories she knew, recalling the 'sir' she heard from Le Guien, and recalling the figure she saw sealed by thousands of light locks in the narrow room, Fangran was slightly startled.
"She left a very strong impression on me. Maybe I have been influenced by her from that time on. That queen always has the charm to influence the people around her..."
Smiling softly as she talked about her childhood memories, Shui Linlang looked at the young man in front of her who was different from before and smiled slightly:
"Is not it?"
The memory in the narrow space of the battlefield, the tenderness in the profound wisdom displayed by the queen, the power of will in the bright torrent of the ice sea polar night,
Fangran could only admit with a smile that it was truly a glory he had seen that made him respect and admire him more than the great men in the textbooks.
"Do you remember what I told you the first time you came here?"
Shui Linlang smiled and looked at the changed Fangran after returning from the journey with her glassy eyes.
"Those words about the Origin One and learning to grow... I remember Grandma Shui when you asked me why I participated in the night battle..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking back to the first time he followed Ye Sheng to this garden, Fangran scratched his cheek softly in ecstasy. So many long moments had happened.
The night was unforgettable for him.
"Originals are randomly involved in the system. Compared with normal participants who have no awakening scene, you will always be more confused about why you want to be exposed to night battles. Facing a huge and extraordinary world, you can't find it.
Your own reasons to move forward,”
Thinking of the young man standing in the shadow of the evening that night, Shui Linlang chuckled softly, then raised his eyes and stared at Fang Ran at this moment,
"But now I see in you the answer you found,"
Her voice was gentle, but she was also somewhat distressed and pleased with this smart child who knew how to make his own choices:
"You have grown up, Fangran."
Perhaps it was a blessing or perhaps a comfort. After hearing Shui Linlang's words, Fangran was slightly silent.
Then he smiled with a slight sense of helplessness.
He looked at the bright and beautiful sea of flowers outside the balcony with calm eyes, letting the gentle breeze in the afternoon gently blow the ends of his hair, and spoke softly in a quiet and lost voice:
"I just understood that night. I just want to stand where I am, and I can't protect everything I value. If I want to be someone's strength, I must first stand by her side..."
On that overly happy bonfire night, everything I cherished was perfect around me. Only when I saw the last light of the power bank extinguished did I understand this truth.
A slight wry smile appeared on his face as he looked at Shui Linlang in front of him.
"Perhaps I should have understood this truth since the last time you told me to take on the responsibility of protecting my senior sister. But at that time, I was just like the first time I pushed the door open and left. I didn't want to meet you again.
If there is any danger, I just ask Ling to help me, but I never thought about it."
Recalling the exquisite figure who had always been aloof from the moment they met, making people unable to worry about her, Fangran looked at the black tea in the cup and sighed quietly in her eyes.
"What should I do if Ling is in danger..."
I have never thought about what I would do if the figure who is my origin and salvation encounters danger...
It just so happens that she is the one who does not completely belong to her daily world.
Perhaps no one else would be able to make Fangran make such a change.
Except Ling.
"so...."
Speaking of this, Fangran seemed to have shaken off all the quiet and depressed expressions before. Fangran sighed deeply and regained his usual energy. He spread his hands and smiled at Shui Linlang:
"At least I want to move forward a little bit. I don't want to stand still, knowing nothing and being unable to retain anything."
Even if I think about the joyful daily life of the last month now, I feel peaceful and peaceful, extremely beautiful, without any pressure or burden. I wake up lazily from the morning sunshine from the things that need to be prepared, and I am incredibly happy.
But perhaps it is just to protect this beauty that there is no sadness and everyone is around,
Only then do you need to make a decision to move forward.
Growth is about losing what you have never lost to gain what you have never gained.
In order to protect this carefree beauty, he chose to lose the stability and ordinaryness that he had never lost.
Have you grown up?
He has grown up.
There is no question of whether it is worth it or not, only whether you are willing or not.
There is still a little bit of reluctance...
After saying this with a slight smile, he found that Shui Linlang had been watching him calmly and tenderly. At this time, Fangran felt a little embarrassed and ashamed and moved his eyes away to pick up the black tea, coughing twice and saying with a serious look:
"But...but it's still impossible for me to save the world. I can't do such a great thing yet..."
Shui Linlang smiled.
He seemed to be laughing out loud with great joy.
"Is that because of this? It seems that the Night Angel is really important to you,"
After the words fell, Shui Linlang's eyes showed a trace of deliberate teasing, like the curiosity of an elder looking at a child.
"Do you like her?"
"puff--!"
Fang Ran, who had just taken a sip of black tea, immediately spit it out when she heard her suddenly say such words. He choked and coughed and raised his head in panic. He couldn't help but trembled his brows and lips.
ha!!??
What are you talking about when you’re already a grandmother!?
They say older people shouldn’t be so naughty!!
"Ahem... Speaking of which, what's going on with that time inheritance scene? Is there such an incredible type of scene in a night battle?"
Wiping the corners of his mouth, looking at Shui Linlang Fangran who was still laughing and gossiping despite having lived for a century, she looked at Shui Linlang and silently raised her forehead and asked.
"But I still think my Lian Xin is cuter, alas... although my innocent granddaughter is too innocent and too alert."
"No! What I'm saying is that the timing of that scene was too coincidental. I've long wanted to ask all the various things I've encountered since my awakening. If I think about it carefully, what's going on with the unusual coincidence?"
Seeing Shui Linlang who was still focusing on the topic of junior love, and even started to promote her granddaughter, Fangran wanted to change the topic and asked quickly,
"She has no idea how many potential competitors she has. This really worries me as a grandmother."
"Don't change the topic, Grandma Shui, you must know something, right?!"
"Why don't I tell you where her room is? You can use your ability to go to her room at night and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. With my official permission, grandma, I guarantee that no one will disturb you, and even at your age..."
(╬╯///Д///)╯︵┻━┻Listen carefully!!
And as a grandmother, do you know what you are talking about? How could you deceive your granddaughter so much... Bah! I am not a wolf!
Looking at Shui Linlang who completely ignored her own questions, picked up the enamel teacup and said this with a smile on purpose, Fangran hesitated to speak and finally resisted the urge to complain about the elder's eye roll. Even if you don't want to answer,
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Grandma Shui, do you dare not to use such a strange method to frustrate me.
Then when he was still about to say something, the sound of completely broken lines growing suddenly sounded out of thin air.
Fangran's expression froze, and then he reluctantly took out the Silver Broken Dragon Tooth, still looking at Shui Linlang with a speechless expression and wanting to complain:
"It seems that this core can't hold on anymore. It seems to have been exhausted too much when we were in the Arctic."
Yao Jiao opened the joints on the hilt of the slender and graceful silver dragon, and a transparent core full of cracks flickered dimly, as if it had reached its limit.
"It looks like it will take a long time to repair it. Senior Tiangong who is responsible for the repair may have another headache. By the way, are you going back now?"
The young man's figure had begun to become a little transparent, and he smiled as he was a little worried about his credits:
"Yes, I can finally get out of bed today. I missed class for a week and I don't know how many times I will be called on..."
"Then if this happens, remember to remove the railing on the balcony door when you go back."
"ha!?"
At the moment when [Double Cards] began to gradually expire, Fangran looked confused and saw Shui Linlang smiling mysteriously at him:
"As for the reason, let's save it for the surprise when we go back."
Do you prophets all like this kind of half-said way...
Can't you hear me?
The last thought before the two consciousnesses merged into one, and then Fangran looked at Su Qun who came in during the fight with Fang Shu to end the war and sent him back, opened the door and got into the car, and then
The previous conversation with him continued by asking:
"Brother Suqun, your injury doesn't matter. Is Sister Hualing willing to let you out?"
"There is no problem with the penetrating injury on the shoulder. The main reason is that the injury on the back involves the spinal nerves. But after a full month of rest, there should be no problem. You don't have to worry."
The Suqun in front of him is still calm, reliable and serious. He is sitting in the driver's seat wearing sunglasses, shirt and collar, and has a cool and handsome aura. Fangran can already expect to enter the city and drive slowly.
On the street, there are countless scenes of women with straight eyes.
"What about you, how do you feel now?"
When Su Qun looked at him and asked, looking at the silhouette of the capital getting closer and closer on both sides of the speeding car, he smiled softly, making people wonder what he was answering.
"I feel a little bit hopeful..."
The moment the words fell, the black Audi sped away on the suburban road towards the bustling city...
.
..
...
....
.....
...
Too much comfort and stability are immutable.
Only one can never change. He always needs to move forward, constantly encountering scenery and people. His own footsteps intertwine with the fate of others.
Only then will things begin to change.
Reaching out to take out the transparent core, which was more than 90% damaged, Shui Linlang looked at the various cracks on it and smiled softly. The young man in front of him slowly disappeared here because he had no 'infinite' support.
Having made the decision to move forward, he seemed to become even more dazzling.
The water mirror changes and turns into a divination astrolabe full of mysterious light spots. Countless stars sway on the illusory mirror surface.
Then, at the moment Shui Linlang tapped her fingertips, all the scattered traces and countless miscellaneous light spots on the star track of the main position were eliminated, and finally only seven of the most critical ones remained.
A person can only change himself.
You always have to travel to many places, meet many people, hear their stories and laughter, taste their lips and emotions, and then you will slowly be affected and changed.
And those people you meet, those figures whose fate intersects with yours, are like keys to you,
Open up the rest of your life.
Thinking of the clear decision that the young man had made in front of her just now, Shui Linlang chuckled in a complicated way:
"Have you finally decided..."
Then she looked at the astrolabe formed by the water mirror in front of her. The light spot that symbolized 'progress' had become as bright as 'power' this time.
And the remaining ‘key’….
The only one that can rival the two that have already lit up, the most massive 'bond' is still slowly accumulating and growing.
The one that symbolizes the ‘past’ remains as quiet and unchanged as ever, and the one that symbolizes ‘collapse’ appears and sprouts,
And the 'awakened' one has not yet recovered.
As for the end, it was Shui Linlang who vaguely felt that changes were about to happen right now.
The one that symbolizes 'love' is still mysterious and she can't predict any trajectory, not even whose shadow it is...
