Arcane Age

This was a wonderful adventure for Meryl, but it was also a difficult test for Xi Wei.

There is a profession in the Federation, called a dream maker, who can help clients create dreams and restore their spirits.

But what Xi Wei did in Meryl's Heart Lake went one step further than the dream maker. This was Meryl's home field, and during this process, Meryl's consciousness was always awake.

"Swallow" is a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages, and it was Xi Wei's favorite poem since he was a child in his previous life. Therefore, when he helped Meryl create a challenging environment, his first reaction was to choose the storm described in "Swallow" .

He did it successfully and perfectly helped Meryl enter this realm. As for the harvest, he will not know until Meryl wakes up from meditation.

Xi Wei's consciousness slowly withdrew from Meryl's heart lake. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Charlotte who was looking at the two in front of him playfully.

"How long have you been back?" Xi Wei put his hands off Meryl's shoulders casually, and turned to look at the tired young woman curled up in the large magic robe.

It was raining lightly outside the window, the night was dark, the breeze was gentle, and it was very peaceful.

Stroking through some messy hair casually, Charlotte gradually slipped to the ground, staring at the front with a sense of loss, without any focal length in her sight. After a long time, she sighed: "In your eyes, am I a very unscrupulous and snobbish woman?"

Xi Wei keenly noticed that at this moment, Charlotte seemed to have removed the closed and tight shell of the past, revealing the true and fresh inner self.

Xi Wei slowly laid Meryl down on the recliner, wrapped her petite body in a blanket, and then walked in front of Charlotte, looking seriously into her eyes from a very close distance.

In her eyes, there are remorse, sadness, persistence, and pride, but the most is endless darkness and sorrow.

"My mother is a nun from the Church of the Lord of Radiance. She was supposed to dedicate her life to the Lord of Radiance, but she is pregnant. No one knows who my father is..."

"Mom found the quietest job and the most remote place to give birth to me, but my crying still exposed all these secrets!"

"My mother was sent to the gallows, and I became a street child. Mother Teresa, my mother's best friend during her lifetime, secretly raised me, but I was still old when I was five years old..."

"I was controlled by a thief. He controlled all the vagrants in the city of Turin to steal and deliver news. I snatched a piece of black bread with a mouse, and fought with three boys for a handful of boiled beans..."

Charlotte began to talk about her miserable childhood, shrinking and twitching, as if she had fallen into that dark and terrible world again.

She unbuttoned her magic robe, revealing the tight-fitting clothes inside and her youthful and graceful body.

However, it was the dozen or so shocking scars all over her body that attracted Xi Wei's attention.

These scars are very old, but they have accompanied Charlotte's life and grown up with her.

When chatting at Xi Wei's advanced senior apprentice party, Charlotte told him that he came to the tower at the age of six and had no memory of his hometown.

However, it is clear that this childhood memory is not forgotten, but sealed in the most hidden and darkest corner of her heart, and she can only dig it out and taste it when she dreams of being alone in the middle of the night.

"When that guy who trafficked children appeared in front of me, I immediately recognized what he was doing." Charlotte smiled nervously, but this smile was so innocent, as if the Lord of Radiance He was as pure as heaven: "At that time, just like that, I quickly smiled at him, and that silly boy was really dumbfounded, and actually took away such an obviously worthless waste like me."

"I came to the tower in this way. It is a paradise. I can sleep peacefully every day. I have three meals a day, and there is meat every now and then... What's more, no one knows that my mother is an adulterer. Nun, no one knows I don't have a dad, no one!"

Even though Charlotte was so persistent, with her nostrils twitching, clear tears overflowed her eyes unstoppably like a rushing clear spring, and then slid down her pale cheeks like strings of pearls.

"Since Mother Teresa died at the age of five, I haven't really cried!" Charlotte emphasized the word "true", her voice trembling, like a wild horse galloping fast on a rugged mountain road .

Xi Wei sighed, at this moment he missed Zero so much.

If Ling is still there, she can help him find the most touching words from the huge library to warm the girl's lonely heart and guide her out of this dark and desperate situation.

However, Zero is still sleeping, and there is only Xi Wei who is sailing alone in the vast sea of ​​stars.

"Here you are!" Xi Wei sat side by side with Charlotte.

"What is this?" Charlotte stopped crying, looking at the emerald green elastic ball that Xi Wei handed over.

"Eatable!" Xi Wei replied simply.

Charlotte put the emerald green ball into her mouth without hesitation, but the weird taste turned her whole face into a weird face.

Bitter and sour, bitter to the extreme, sour to heartbreaking.

However, Charlotte didn't spit out this emerald green ball, she chewed it stubbornly, crushed it, then forcibly blocked her sense of taste, and swallowed it.

After a long time, Xi Wei asked softly, "How do you feel now?"

"It seems to be flying! My whole spirit is active, and I have a much clearer sense of the magic elements in the air!" Charlotte was a little surprised to find that she held Xi Wei's sleeve tightly: "I just now What exactly are you eating?"

"Small things that can refresh you!" Xi Wei smiled. He had originally prepared this for his evening meditation work, but it went smoothly just now, so he didn't use it.

"The Ao Neng Affinity Potion seems to have this effect!" Charlotte grabbed Xi Wei's hand very hard.

"If you eat a hundred pills, it may be worth a bottle of Ao Neng Affinity Potion! But I have no materials!" Xi Wei gently held her hand, giving her warmth and strength: "Charlotte, life That's it, suffering is a kind of wealth, first bitterness and then sweetness, you will be happy!"

After hearing Xi Wei's words, Charlotte fell silent.

Her breathing became very rapid, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak in the end.

Gradually, her breathing became more and more gentle, as if she had completely integrated into this silent rainy night.

After an unknown period of time, Xi Wei turned his head to the side, and saw a delicate face sleeping on his shoulder, so peaceful and comfortable, as if a baby was sleeping in a cradle.

Xi Wei took a deep breath. Every apprentice on the tower left their family and parents in their childhood, and every child has the deepest pain behind them.

Sorry, there is still a towering mountain in front of me that needs to be crossed.

When I can really smash the shackles on me and break free from this cage, I will give you a future, a bright and beautiful future!
