The dream world was collapsing layer by layer, but Brando knew there was still a final stretch to go. He put away his things, turned off the experience prompts, and raised his head to see a long corridor appearing in front of him.
This deep corridor seems to extend forward in a circular space, and the surrounding fog is filled with flickering fragments of the past.
He knew that this was no longer Viscount Cardel's dream, but a dream that truly belonged to him.
Self-salvation is often the opportunity hidden deepest in the human heart
Brando moved forward slowly, experiencing darkness, and then light came from all directions, covering him. Finally, he saw a door, which was immersed in darkness and silence. The pattern on the door was bronze.
The key and the silver crescent moon, this memory is as new as yesterday. Brando did not stop, but walked forward and opened the door.
The heavy wooden door opened with a creak.
Behind the door is the center of the palace
Jinteng Palace, Hall of the Sages——
A beam of dim light hangs down from the dome, and the hall is silent. The throne is located in the center of the palace. On the red throne is a silver crown. The crown has a slender elf style, with the mountains of the south painted on it.
With the clouds in the north, many people in Brando's memory have worn this crown, because it was once a symbol of Eruin.
An unknown craftsman forged this laurel wreath, and the late King Ekk took it to be crowned king in Gray Wind Fortress. In the long years that followed, dozens of kings successively held this honor, but they tried their best to transform it.
for dust
After the pages of history were turned, it ushered in its final owner, a beautiful half-elf girl.
Brando saw the faint silver light reflected on the crown, which was almost the same color as Princess Griffin's silver hair, but after the luster dissipated, the moment seemed so bleak.
Does it know where its former owner is now?
Has it ever watched that beautiful princess sleep forever in this palace?
It may not care about the blood stained on it, because it is a dead thing that only relies on the greed of mortals.
Brando walked to the center of the hall. There was no one in the palace, but he knew that at some time in the past, many kings had sat here, even the eldest princess, who had gracefully walked from this pavilion to the main hall.
Walking on the red carpet, the knights bowed to her
In another period of time, he was standing here with his senior sister, in the same dilapidated hall, dim light, and the sounds of wind and fire outside were mixed together, and the fighting came from far and near.
That was the last cry of the dying Eruin, which seemed to symbolize the groan before the palace collapsed.
But now, he is the only one left
Everything is as before
Brando saw the flames burning in from outside the palace, and in a blink of an eye, the palace turned into a blazing hot hell. The pillars collapsed, the gorgeous works of art turned into dust, and he stood alone in the center of the flames.
"Why aren't you afraid of failure?" asked a weak voice
That's the voice of Viscount Caddell
"I'm afraid of failure." Brando saw the pale figure emerging from the flames. He picked up the crown, put it aside, then sat on the throne, and replied: "But I'm even more afraid of not being able to see my own heart."
"Death is not terrible, what is terrible is losing oneself"
Viscount Cardel stood silently opposite Brando without saying a word.
It wasn't until a long time that he let out a sigh
Brando saw him turn around and walk towards the sea of fire, his back disappearing into the flames. He heard the faint sigh: "I'm sorry, Bedis, I'm sorry, Lord St. Osol"
Brando closed his eyes
He seemed to have had another long dream in a dream. In the dream, Viscount Caddell was not called Viscount Caddell. He had another identity, and people called him the King of the Sun. Cadel Fred once had a fiancée.
, a woman named Bedice Ramona Moonleaf, because only such a noble name can bear the surname of the Wind Elf royal family.
But the Viscount Caddell in that memory had already died in the woods with his fiancée.
Brando opened his eyes, and the fire had burned under the throne, but he still hadn't woken up from the dream. He was sitting on the throne, not knowing whether it was wrong or right - but it was indeed his choice. There was a loud collapse sound in the flames.
Brando thought that the pillar on one side of the hall had collapsed, but suddenly a figure rushed out of the fire and grabbed his hand.
"follow me--"
Brando was startled for a moment. He raised his head and saw the familiar back walking in the flames. The flying black hair looked particularly dazzling in the hot air.
"Senior?"
The figure did not answer, but just dragged him through the sea of fire. The palace collapsed beside the two of them. It was almost impossible to distinguish the direction in the thick smoke. The temperature seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and the billowing fog gradually covered all sight.
After a while, Brando felt like he was walking completely in the black mist. He couldn't tell whether he was still in Jinteng Palace under his feet. But the mist suddenly parted to the left and right, and the cold moonlight seemed to fall from the sky, shining on him.
body
Brando was startled slightly, and he raised his head
There were no palaces or seas of fire around, and only the shadowy cedar forest was left. Only then did he realize that the cold light before was not moonlight at all, but an arc of light blue light on the horizon.
That's the tide of magic
The surging cloud shadow reflected the light on Brando's face. The female knight in front took him two more steps, then let go and turned around.
Both of them were sweating profusely
Brando looked at the pale face of the female knight, was startled for a moment, and then blurted out: "Nimesis?"
The female knight didn't answer. She turned around and walked towards the forest. Brando saw Haruze curled up under a tree, sleeping soundly, with a bright line hanging from the corner of his mouth - this guy was actually drooling in his dreams.
When Brando thought about what the little prince looked like in his dream, it was really unimaginable.
Nymesis did not wake him up, but walked to His Highness the Prince, took off the cloak from her body, and put it on him. Brando saw the way she took care of people, and thought of Senior Bai Jia more than once.
"Are you hiding something from me, Ms. Nimesis?" he suddenly asked.
"Don't ask thank you," Nymesis turned around and replied softly: "Just this once, give me some time -"
Brando was slightly startled——
He just looked at Nymesis, and the two looked at each other in silence for a while, but soon, there was a soft sound in the woods, and Brando turned around and watched Laurenna and Feras bridge hands from the bushes.
came out
The female knight from the Cruz Empire also looked at Brando and Nymesis strangely when she saw them together.
"Ha, Lord Earl, I didn't expect you to be faster than us." Ferras's performance was much more direct. He shouted: "I just had a weird dream that really pissed me off."
"What's going on?" It was not beyond Brando's expectation that this lucky couple could be the first to walk out of the dream, but he was curious about what could make this guy so angry.
Before Laurenna could stop her, Ferras blurted out: "I dreamed that that bullshit eldest prince wanted to marry Laurenna, huh, it's just a wishful thinking."
"So how did you solve it?" When Brando saw the female knight blushing because of Feras' words, he knew that the dream must be very exciting. He calmed down and continued to ask curiously.
"Nonsense, of course we'll kill him," Feras replied bitterly.
Brando was sweating profusely after hearing this, thinking that this guy was too tough. The eldest prince of Cruz, who was not the first heir to the empire, actually killed him as soon as he was told to kill him. You know, in the dream it was
It's so real, maybe Ferras didn't even think about whether he was in a dream or reality when he did that.
But when he glanced at this guy, he suddenly felt a little enlightened. Probably only such a person would never be confused by the fog in his heart.
"You're lucky, Miss Lorena," Brando said
The female knight's cheeks were slightly red, and she punched Feras hard: "This guy does things without thinking, and it scares me to death."
Feras chuckled and Brando also smiled slightly. He felt lucky for Feras and Laurenna. Not everything in this world can go as planned, but few people have the essence to persevere in the face of adversity.
He raised his head. There was no moonlight in the sky. The surging clouds had just passed over the forest. The demonic tide had already reached its most intense moment.
…
A few hours seemed to pass by in a flash. Freya and Akane walked out of the dream one after another, while Medissa Ciel and Mira were no longer dreaming. They were just lost because of Brando's loss. In Brando's case, they were lost.
After leaving the dreamland for a long time, I came here early
Then there were the scattered knights and other entourages in the team. Afterwards, Nymesis counted the number of people and found that more than half of the team had dispersed. All the missing people had been lost in the forest forever and could never be found again.
not coming back
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and had a new understanding of the horror of this forest.
Brando asked Freya privately about her experience with Qian. As he expected, Freya relived the nightmare of escaping from Butchi. However, she said that Brando did not exist in her dream, which made Brando
I was so surprised that I broke into a cold sweat
And Freya also told him that she experienced a completely different Butch Night. The future Valkyrie did not go into too much detail, but just said thank you gently to him at the end.
Brando can probably guess what happened to her, just like he can guess the night she will return to Butchi. Perhaps for this Valkyrie, that is the most important memory in her life.
A memory that changed her life
As for Qian, the mountain girl didn't say much. She just looked at him quietly for a moment, then followed him and never left. Brando couldn't figure out what she was dreaming about.
But like everyone else, everyone seems to be particularly quiet after leaving their own dreams.
Most people relied on each other and sat together in the forest, as if recalling their dreams.
The morning that can never be seen in the eternal night forest brings a new day to everyone in the sense of time——
