A towering mountain peak stands on the ground. The top of the mountain is as flat as if it had been cut off with a knife, and a gorgeous palace is built on it.
Inside the palace gate, the sound of wind chimes can be heard, making people think they are in a fairyland.
This is the most noble place of the Plantagenet Dynasty. On the raised eaves of the palace, on every corner is a beautifully shaped copper peacock, spreading its wings and ready to fly, lifelike.
Under the eaves are rows of copper wind chimes, or "wind chimes" as they should be called. These copper wind chimes collide with each other in the breeze, making a crisp and sweet sound.
The palace has carved jade railings, black pillars, red painted railings, and winding corridors connecting large and small palaces.
There are horizontal sills every few meters in the corridor. When you look up at these horizontal sills, you will see thousands of paintings of flowers, plants, trees, characters, stories, scenery and rocks carefully painted with colorful colors. No one is the same.
The breeze blows from the sea of clouds from time to time, passing through these majestic palaces, bringing a comfortable touch and refreshing people.
After walking through a long corridor and arriving in front of Yuzhang Mountain, there is a high platform on the mountainside. On both sides of the high platform there are huge bronze immortals, holding jade plates in their hands, facing the east.
The fiery red sun gradually rises from the sea of clouds and shines on the tile eaves of the palace. The sunlight is refracted by the blue glazed tiles to create colorful light.
One by one, the maids in white clothes carried all kinds of rare and colorful things, walked forward in small steps, came to this high platform, arranged tables, chairs, and scenery.
Then several more female officials came. After repeated inspections, they led the maids present to leave quietly, leaving only two senior female officials waiting on both sides.
In the afternoon, a woman wearing golden clothes climbed onto the high platform, followed by eight accompanying maids.
She looked around, nodded slightly, and then motioned for the others to leave.
After a while, she was the only one left on the high platform, and she sat in front of the jade guqin and started playing it gently. The long sound of the piano rippled through the palace.
A black spot appeared on the sea of clouds in the sky. As the black spot continued to get closer, it was discovered that it was a carriage with two black unicorns running rapidly in the air.
The unicorn neighed, and the carriage slowly stopped beside the high platform. A girl with silver hair and golden eyes stepped out of the carriage with her skirt held up.
"Long time no see, Suqin."
Tidais was wearing a black lace skirt, smiled slightly, took a gift box from the car, and gave it to the black-haired woman in gorgeous clothes in front of her.
"This is the flute that Sister Hades gave you, and the latest skirt from the Green Empire. Moonlight fabric of this grade is very rare."
"Thank you, you two are too polite sometimes." The black-haired woman playing the piano accepted it with a smile, and then invited Tidais to sit aside.
They have known each other for a long time, so they started chatting casually without having to deal with too much red tape.
"Is Sister Hades okay?"
"It's still the same as before. Sister Hades still doesn't want to change the order. I will occasionally go to Everdark Island to chat with her to prevent her from being too lonely."
"Since she has her own insistence, we can't persuade her anymore. I will go and see her when I have time."
"Really? You're such a busy person, how can you still find time?" Tidais didn't believe it.
"Don't say that, I have brought up several groups of little ones, and now they are gradually able to help me share the burden."
"You say this every time, but in the end you still feel uneasy, just like those old mothers who are worried about their children. They are afraid that their children will fall into a ditch and they have to keep an eye on them at all times."
"If this goes on for a long time, it will actually hurt each other."
"No, I won't interfere with their choice."
"It's still hard to believe." Titus lay on the black-haired woman's knees, picked up the grapes next to her, and threw them into her mouth one by one.
"By the way, Tidais."
"Um?"
"What happened over there in the past few years? I also saw that wonderful scene in the sky."
"Oh, that's right. That's a cute junior."
Tidais recalled the quiet and serious girl she met in the forest a few years ago and spoke.
"She inherited sister Trinasha's knowledge and triggered the change when she awakened."
"Trinasha...? It's such a nostalgic name."
"Yeah, I'm a little surprised too. I didn't expect Sister Trinasha's successor to be a witch."
"How is she now? Don't you like Sister Trinasha the most? You actually didn't bring her to see us."
"She is now living alone in the forest. She said she does not want to be exposed to the world of witches for the time being. She wants to be herself."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be rejected by others. I should say that you are indeed Trinasha's student. You are so similar to her. You are always so independent, stubborn...and gentle."
"Well... I can't help it. After all, she is sister Trinasha's student and has inherited everything from her. It is impossible for me to take strong action against my sister's student, so I can only respect her choice."
"Well, but you don't have to worry. Sooner or later she will walk out of the forest. Sooner or later she will encounter some difficulties in life. By then, if you help her more, her image will be improved."
"After all, we will live for a long time, and the only thing left in the end will be each other."
"Yes, so many years have passed without realizing it since Sister Trinasha left, and these are the only people who are still alive and in contact with her."
Tidès thought back to that distant time.
"At that time, within the Mercury Dynasty, there were the popularity of magic sequences, ideological differences, the outbreak of anti-war sentiment, and most importantly, at the end of the dynasty, the Necromancer sequence began to decline."
"In the end, under internal and external difficulties, the Mercury Dynasty disintegrated. The once glorious era was gone forever. At the same time, it also announced the end of the Second Era."
"After the disintegration, the extraordinary beings in the Necronomicon sequence were liquidated one by one. They either disintegrated themselves and modified other sequences, or they went to the Island of Eternal Darkness and were not allowed to leave forever."
"The Necromantic Sequence, this once brilliant and extraordinary sequence, has become synonymous with evil. Even if the mainland's high-level officials no longer suppress it thousands of years later, very few people practice it."
--------------------------
In the Tisilan Mountains, Maple Leaf Garden.
The afterglow of the setting sun pours into this crimson world, coating the leaves, sea of flowers, and huts with a light layer of gold.
Occasionally, some weeds sprouted from the steps of the hut, a few small flowers protruded from the round roof, and the stone steps in front of the door were also covered with moss. The owner of this hut has not been out for a long time.
In the closed bedroom, the windows were closed, and only a sliver of light shone through the gap, slanting into the room, and some tiny dust particles were flying in the air.
On a small reddish-brown maple bed, a silver-haired girl was sleeping quietly, with waterfall-like hair scattered on the pillow and quilt.
The entire crib is wrapped in a transparent red crystal, like amber where time has been suspended.
It has been a long time since Lorraine Hill fell asleep, and the time outside the window has passed by seven springs, summers, autumns and winters unknowingly.
Some children slowly grow up and begin to step into the ranks of adults, while some old people gradually fall silent, and finally rest in peace underground.
Now is the new year again, the flowers outside the window are blooming, and the girl gradually opens her eyes.
