The dream came quietly, to the ancient continent, to the Principality of Xisai, and to a dead end alley in High Court. To put it bluntly, faith is just an obsession and a shackle for everyone.
The aroma of midnight ale gradually spread, and Lulu's figure disappeared completely, and the dragon crystal on her chest seemed to have never appeared.
However, while she was in a dream, she seemed to be riding a time machine, constantly going back to the past. Scenes of the past passed by her, and the High Garden changed into Ogu City, but the alley remained the same.
"Hurry up and hand over the black bread. If you run away again, I will beat you to death. You are useless!"
"Damn little beast, how are you still alive, eating shit and surviving the dark rainy night?"
"This trash can is mine, get out of here, you unruly guy."
"Are you worthy of receiving alms from the monastery? Hand over the food and go to the sewers to find food."
Time went back many years ago, to Aogu City, where the sky was full of clouds, and to Lulu's miserable childhood. In her impression, Aogu City was gray, almost black.
She doesn’t know who her parents are, or her name, or even why she is alive today.
In childhood, Lulu was like a little wild cat who could speak human words. She hid herself in the alleys during the day and only went out to look for food at night.
However, most of the time, not to mention getting some leftovers, even the rat meat in the trash can was taken away.
The same thunderstorm moon, the same dark sky. The streets outside the alley are extremely noisy, but Lulu is huddled in the corner, staring numbly at the crowd.
Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and the images in her pupils began to become blurry. A strong sense of fatigue rolled over her like a tide, and Lulu slowly closed her eyes.
"If you fall asleep, you will never wake up again. If you still want to live, eat this food." A boy's voice sounded quietly, breaking the dead silence in the alley.
They are about the same age, with a worn-out gray linen hood mended and mended, and the steel knife in his hand reflecting the sunlight. His black pupils are like abyss, and his disheveled hair is covered with dust.
There was some meat soup in the cracked clay bowl. Although the taste was a bit sour, it was better than the smell of rat meat. Lulu looked at the other party, but the other party stopped talking.
Two pairs of eyes met in the alley, and the sound of chewing gradually sounded. This was Lulu's first meal in two days, so she ate extremely quickly.
"I'm Boom, what's your name?" the little boy asked softly while playing with the steel knife.
"I...I don't have a name, and I don't know where I come from." The girl replied timidly.
"Then pick a name for yourself. People always have names. You are not a wild cat." The little boy climbed down from the trash can and walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley.
"By the way, this is my trash can. I'll leave it to you from now on, so you can take care of yourself." The little boy disappeared, and the girl sat there blankly, turning to look at the trash can not far away.
The banana peel is astringent, but you can still chew it to reveal a hint of sweetness. The apple core is a bit hard, but the remaining pulp is extremely delicious.
The little girl guards the trash can every day, quietly waiting for those who spit on her. She survives because of this, and because of this, the figure of Boom is imprinted in her mind.
But this wonderful day only lasted for five days. The airtight black hood, the strong and heavy huge iron shackles, the noisy and bumpy wooden wheels of the carriage.
The girl doesn't know where she is, and she just hopes to see her trash can and even the little boy named Boom every day when she wakes up.
The cold pool water, the unfamiliar streets, the mentor's voice echoed in the basement, and the companions who had not passed the magic test disappeared.
With soft bedding, clean meals, and her status as a high-ranking priest, she completely got rid of her poor status, but she offended a certain noble noble by telling the truth.
In a dirty prison with iron bars as thick as an arm, Lulu was casting spells while clutching the bronze angel statue on her chest.
At the beginning of the game, she managed to survive, and then left this strange city. A voice kept echoing in her mind, guiding her to the Nightingale Grassland.
Warm fire, fragrant meat soup, familiar faces, and strange girls. Lulu suppressed her inner joy and moved on with tears in her eyes.
The huge palace and garden, the girl who was cursed by the dark elves. Lulu finally used the help of dragon crystal to display the "Echo of Destiny", but the price was that she disappeared into thin air.
Her soul was condensed again by the powerful energy of the dragon crystal. Lulu lowered her head and looked at her chest, then smiled and ran towards the High Court. Her last wish was a short time to truly live for herself.
A beautiful "unexpected encounter" and bad words got through. Lulu saw the little boy again, but the other boy had already forgotten her.
She is not discouraged, nor does she expect the other party to remember. Lulu doesn’t have much time left, and she only hopes to finish it happily.
Friends also start from strangers. If the other person doesn't remember you now, just get to know him again. Lulu's face never stops smiling, as pure as an angel descending.
Simple meals and short family chats. Most of the time, Lulu just listened quietly, listening to Boom and Rikka teasing each other.
But time passed so quickly that the sunset turned into stars before I knew it, and my story seemed to be self-defeating.
Lulu left in a panic, completely ignoring the suspicion of the other party. Lulu was walking in the High Court, but she had no intention of wandering around, she just hoped that the sun would appear soon tomorrow.
Crash, crash, crash! The sudden noise woke Lulu up, and she saw countless leftovers pouring into the trash can, even with some glass fragments mixed in.
However, the visitor did not notice Lulu, or could not see it at all. Although there was still a lot of energy left in the dragon crystal, without Boom, maintaining the human form was just a waste.
The filthy greasy stuff slowly approached and spread along the lines on the wall towards the sewer ditch. Lulu didn't dislike it at all and just sat still.
She used to be an orphan in the royal city like Boom. Although she became a priest halfway, she ended up in prison. Therefore, she has long been accustomed to these things. Even if she were not a spirit now, Lulu would have had the intention to taste them.
.
Under the night, Lulu blinked her big, watery eyes, sometimes recalling her life in Augu City, and sometimes resenting being trafficked to Xisepama City.
But in the end, her expression settled on a smile, and a figure appeared in her mind, a little boy holding a steel knife.
Slowly getting up, Lulu floated to the entrance of the alley and secretly looked at everything in the High Court. This was her first time here, and it should also be her last.
Occasionally passers-by turned a blind eye to her, and even some drunkards' vomit penetrated her shadow. However, Lulu's eyes kept wandering around, hoping that she could find some topics to talk about to Boom tomorrow. Time passed quickly, and the night was replaced by blue mist. A new day began quietly, and Lulu, who was hiding behind the trash can, turned into a physical entity and walked out of the alley with a smile.
