The nearly transparent crystal emits a soft blue light, like a rippled lake, wrapping Yuffie in warm magic. She turned around and saw her friend's face full of surprise and her lips opening and closing, but she heard
Not any words.
The light was flowing, Yuffie closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the world in front of her had changed——
The sky was still dark, and the sparks from the distance replaced the real stars, pointing the way to the town for travelers. It seemed to be the twelfth lunar month in winter, and the biting north wind blew by like a sharp blade, making her cheeks a little raw.
It hurts. There was dozens of centimeters of snow on the ground, and heavy snowflakes fluttered from the sky, falling into the companions on the ground, gradually smoothing out any possible traces left by travelers.
Few people travel overnight at this time of year. If it is a prosperous and wealthy important city, the guards will shovel the snow on the main streets in time to allow the carriages and travelers to pass normally. But there are few visitors in this kind of city.
In a small town, the cost of clearing snow is far greater than the return, so naturally no one will waste time and effort to do those things.
This makes traveling in winter more dangerous, and the town where people occasionally pass by seems even more deserted at this time. The residents are quietly nestling in their homes, lighting the firewood that has been prepared in the fireplace, leisurely and leisurely
Spending the winter waiting for spring to come again.
However, at this moment, a traveler was walking in the heavy snow. She wore a leather cloak and hood, and raised her collar, allowing the thick leather to block most of the cold wind and snow flakes. She was standing on the soft snow.
As we walked leisurely, the deerskin short boots left only a thin layer of traces each time, which were quickly covered by newly fallen snowflakes.
Yuffie watched her every move - it's actually not appropriate to say this, because the girl seemed to be in her body, experiencing the chill of winter and the warmth of the leather cloak, but she could not change the other person's actions.
.
The female traveler walked into the town. At this moment when no one was visiting, there were naturally no guards. The doors and windows of every house were closed tightly, showing no concern for this rare visitor. She didn't care about that, she just felt like it.
He walked through the snow-covered paths, bypassed the deserted square, and finally stopped in front of a wooden single-story house. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the closed door.
The door opened inward. A woman enthusiastically held the traveler's hand, pulled her into the house, and gave her a familiar warm hug. The fire in the room was beating, and warm air rushed into her face. The female traveler took off her clothes.
I took my cloak, shook the snow off it outside the door, and hung it on the wooden frame at the door.
She familiarly pulled out a chair and sat down, resting her chin with her hands, and exhaled in relief. Yuffie saw a few strands of long pink hair falling in front of her eyes - and she suddenly understood that this body's
Who is the master?
The owner of the house sat down face to face with her. What Yuffie saw in front of her was that her face seemed extremely friendly and her figure was as beautiful as a dream - however, just after taking his attention away for a moment, he could no longer remember her appearance.
That was probably the effect of some kind of spell, Yuffie thought. What she couldn't be sure of was whether this spell was aimed at the traveler, her mother, or whether she was just a bystander in this 'dream'.
The latter takes effect? If it is the latter, what is the meaning?
The female traveler smoothed away the long hair that fell in front of her eyes and spoke first - it was Yuffie's familiar voice, which seemed to have never changed in more than ten years.
"Have you really made up your mind, Merlin, to no longer be a bystander but to personally participate in history?"
The woman opposite nodded, her eyes soft and calm.
"Well, I have decided that I can't keep watching things get worse without doing anything. Tiana has lost contact with her for nearly ten years, and Alex, who died hundreds of years ago, seems to have disappeared recently.
A new heir has been found. If they are no longer spectators, it would be meaningless for me to continue to watch."
"But if you don't do this, you will be in danger." The female traveler interrupted her softly, "And, according to my intuition, the best time may not have come yet."
"Your intuition has always been very accurate, Sister Alicia." The woman opposite called out a familiar name. However, Yuffie, who had already confirmed it, was not surprised at all. After all, her mother had always been mysterious, which made her a girl.
He has a unique position in his heart, "It's just this time, I want to listen to my own voice. Even if I can't get the best result, I will definitely be able to leave something behind."
"Well, good luck to you. But Meilin, what are you going to do?"
"First of all, let's make sure. Since my sister doesn't agree with my idea, then your "Oath of the Lily of the Valley" will not accept my proposal, right?"
It was a harmless and simple question, just used to confirm an inevitable fact from a friend's mouth.
"Yes, we will continue our travels - and counting the time, Annie and I will probably get married soon. It will probably be a while since we can't be together. Thinking about it, we are still a little lonely."
The woman opposite her eyes widened, seeming quite surprised by this fact. However, Alicia waved her hand and quickly moved the topic away.
"Stop talking about that, what's your idea?"
Mei Lin showed a confident smile and answered in a bright voice.
"Everyone has the potential to become a hero. I will find them, guide them, and then - just like what is mentioned in the novel, let the heroes change the world." Her eyes were full of yearning, "Bei
Yade agreed to my request, sister, just wait and see, we will definitely produce results that will surprise you too!"
Alicia raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Yuffie couldn't feel her mother's emotions, but could guess her current expression.
"It's really like what you would say. Ah, by the way, what do you plan to call those heroes?"
"Hmm... It's not that the reason why heroes become heroes is because they can do things that ordinary people can't do. Then, how about naming the team they form after "Miracle"?"
The traveler woman clapped her hands gently. Suddenly, the girl realized what she was thinking - it was a blessing for her friends that was mixed with reluctance and expectation.
"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Through her gaze, the light in front of Yuffie suddenly became blurry, and the entire wooden house seemed to melt and turned into a ball of soft blue light - she blinked her eyes, and the cool breeze of the autumn night brushed her cheeks again.
The surrounding scenery has also returned to its original state.
