Sword of Daybreaker

The room was quiet for a long time.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Betty's soft exclamation suddenly sounded: "Wow!!"

She seemed startled, staring at the golden dome in front of her, looking at a loss, but apparently she knew what to say to break this awkward and strange situation, so she held back for a long time and thought for a long time. She whispered: "Hello, Enya...Madam?"

"Hello, Miss Betty." The Dome made a polite voice again, and a soft, magnetic female voice sounded pleasing to the ear.

"You... So you can talk?!" Betty's not very bright mind finally reacted little by little, and I don't know if it was because of her slow reaction. Faced with such a strange situation, she accepted it smoothly. He lost the reality of "the dome can talk", and even started to talk to the pale golden "egg", "Then can you see me too?"

"Of course, but my'looking' may not be the same as the'looking' you understand," the "egg" who claimed to be Enya seemed to have a smile in his tone, "I have been looking at you, little girl, since Days ago, from the first time you took care of me here."

Betty listened blankly, surprised and confused: "Ah, is that so... Then why didn't you speak before?"

"Because I can't speak until today," the Golden Dome said softly, "and it will probably take longer for me to do other things...I am waking up from my deep sleep. It is a gradual process. ."

Betty thought for a while, and shook her head honestly: "I don't understand."

"Haha, this is normal, because you don’t know who I am, and probably don’t know my experience," the dome’s tone really laughed this time, and the laugh sounded very happy, "It’s really funny Girl...you seem a little scared?"

"It's the first time I saw a talking egg..." Betty nodded cautiously, keeping a distance from the dome. She was a little nervous, but she didn't know if she was afraid-since the other party said Yes, so be it, "And it's so big, almost as tall as Mr. Wright or the master... When the master asked me to take care of you, he never said that you can speak."

"Your master...?" The golden dome seems to be thinking, or it may become drowsy and mentally sluggish in the process of sleeping, her voice occasionally sounds erratic and slow, "Who is your master? Here? what is the place?"

Betty thought for a while, thinking that since the other party is a "noble guest", there is no need to conceal this question, so he nodded and said: "My master is His Majesty Gawain Cecil, this is his palace-I am Betty , The maid here."

"Gavin Cecil? So, I came to the human world? This is really..." The golden dome's voice stopped for a while, it seemed very surprised, and then there was a little helpless and stunned voice in the voice. With a smile, "So they sent me together... It's surprising, but maybe it's a good decision."

Betty blinked and listened to a huge egg whispering to herself there. She still couldn't understand what was happening before her, let alone what the other person was whispering, but she at least understood It seemed an accident that the other party came here, and at the same time, he suddenly thought of what he should do: "Ah, then I'll go and inform Her Highness! Tell her that the egg in the hatchery is awake!"

After speaking, she turned around and planned to run out, but was stopped by the dome as soon as she was about to take a step: "No, wait a minute - don't tell others for now."

"Huh?" Betty stopped in confusion, "Don't you tell others?"

"Don't worry," the dome said gently, "I haven't enjoyed such a quiet time for too long, so don't let people know that I am awake...I want to stay quiet for a while."

"That..." Betty looked at the pale golden eggshell carefully, as if she could see the expression of the "Ms. Enya" from the eggshell, "Do you need me to go out? You can stay for a while. ..."

"It's not necessary," a voice with a more pronounced smile came from the dome. "You are not noisy, and it is not bad to have a person to talk to. It's just that you don't have to tell others for now."

"Oh," Betty nodded seemingly, and then couldn't help but look up and down on the surface of the pale golden dome, as if thinking about where the other party's "voicing organ" was. After looking at it, she finally couldn't restrain herself. I was puzzled, "That...Ms. Enya, do you live in this eggshell? Do you want to come out to breathe?"

The golden dome’s voice fell silent for a while. Although no expression could be seen on the eggshell, a strong emotion of "I am confused, you are not right" seemed to seep from the fine lines on the surface of the eggshell. After a few seconds of embarrassment and quiet, she finally said: "Come out... come? No, I can't get out, girl, this is what I am now. Maybe you think this is an egg, but it is actually It is an aggregation of human nature, a material carrier with symbolic significance. I need to use this form to solidify and gradually transform my human nature to realize... No, forget it, you should not understand it. In short, this It’s who I am now."

Betty listened in a daze to an egg explaining these incomprehensible concepts to herself. After a lot of effort to combine information, she finally had her own understanding, so she nodded vigorously: "I understand, you haven't hatched yet. come out."

"..."

Seeing the egg without making a sound for a long time, Betty suddenly became nervous and asked carefully: "Ms. Enya?"

"It's nothing, I just have some... I don't know how to respond. Perhaps from a certain point of view, your summary is not bad, but... forget it," the golden dome said helplessly, and the faint golden light flowing on the surface gradually slowly Restore as usual, "By the way, where is your master now? I don't seem to perceive his breath."

"Your Majesty is out," Betty said, "I have to do something very important-discuss the future of this world with some big people."

"Discuss the future of this world?" The Golden Dome's voice sounded with emotion, "It seems that this world finally has a future... it's a good thing."

While talking, she seemed to remember something suddenly, and asked curiously: "Little girl, I just wanted to ask, what are the runes flashing around for? They seem to have been maintaining a stable energy field. Is this... some kind of seal? But I don't seem to feel its blocking effect."

Betty looked at the shiny runes around her, with a happy expression on her face: "This is a hatched rune group!"

"Incubating... wait, you just mentioned that this is the incubation room?" The golden dome seemed to have finally reacted, with consternation and dumbfounding in its tone. "Could it be... are you trying to hatch me?" '?"

"Yeah," Betty nodded, "has been incubating for several days! And it worked well, you can talk now..."

The room suddenly became very quiet again. The golden dome fell into a very strange silence. When even a dull girl like Betty became uneasy, there was a sudden burst of joy, and even some venting. Suddenly burst of laughter from the dome: "Ha...haha...hahaha!!"

This laughter lasted for a long time, and an egg obviously did not need to be breathed, so her laughter did not stop at all. It was not until a few minutes later that the laughter finally ceased, and some were scared. Betty finally had the opportunity to speak carefully: "En...Ms. Enya, are you okay?"

"No, I'm okay, I just really didn't think of your thoughts...Listen, girl, I am not able to talk because I am about to hatch, and you can't hatch me like this. In fact, I don't What kind of incubation is needed, I just need to transform myself, you... forget it," the first half of the Golden Dome still couldn't help but smile, but the second half of the voice became extraordinarily helpless. If she had a hand at the moment, she might have pressed it. Lived on her own forehead-but now she has no hands or even a forehead, so she can only work hard and helplessly, "I don't think I can explain it to you at all. Ah, you guys are actually going to hatch me out, this is really... "

She seemed to be laughing again, but this time she held it back, and Betty couldn't help but patted her chest lightly, and said with a sigh of relief: "You just scared me a little bit, Ms. Enya, you You laughed so hard just now, I even worried that you might laugh so badly..."

Golden Dome: "......???"

In the next second, the uncontrollable laughter echoed in the room again...

But fortunately, this time the laughter did not last that long. Less than a minute later, Enya stopped. She seemed to have unimaginable happiness, or after such a long time, for the first time, Free will feels happiness. Then she once again focused on the maid who seemed to be a little dumbfounded, but found that the other party was already tense again-she clutched both sides of the maid’s skirt, with a panic expression: "Ms. Enya, did I say something wrong? I always say the wrong thing..."

"No, you didn't say anything wrong, I should pay attention to my emotions, after all, it is no longer constrained by thoughts now... Although it has nothing to do with'San Huang'," Enya said with a smile. "You are really funny, kid, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this, but it's really funny... Is this wonderful way of thinking influenced by your equally interesting master?"

"I don't know what you mean," Betty scratched her hair, "but the master did teach me a lot."

"What did he teach you?" Enya asked with interest.

"Spelling, mathematics, history, some common sense of social operations... Although I don't understand this part, ah, there are also occult and'logical thinking'-everyone needs logical thinking, the master said."

"...It seems that this is indeed very interesting," Enya's tone seemed to change a little, "Can you tell me? About what your master usually teaches you. Of course, if you have more free time, I I also hope that you can tell me about the current situation in this world and what all things you know are like."

"Of course, I have finished my work today, and I don't know what to do in my spare time at night!" Betty said very happily, and then as if thinking of something, she hurriedly walked towards the door. "Ah, since you want to chat, you have to prepare refreshments—you can wait a moment!"

This time Enya had no time to stop the turbulent girl who was a little stiff, Betty trot out of the "hatching room" before the voice fell, leaving only the golden dome quietly in the middle of the room. On the pedestal.

"……Interesting."

There was a self-talking voice in the room.

Fortunately, as a skilled maid, Betty didn't take too long.

She ran out of the room hurriedly, prepared refreshments hurriedly, and quickly ran back with a large tray carrying a large tray. The two soldiers standing guard outside the room looked at the maid maid in confusion. They moved in a row, wanting to inquire, but couldn't find the opportunity to open their mouths-when they reacted, Betty had already ran into the room in the thick door with the big tray, and had not forgotten to close the door.

The two soldiers outside the door looked at each other, and Betty and Enya stood opposite each other in the door.

There were no household furnishings for daily use in the incubation room. Betty put the big tray directly on the ground next to her. She picked up the big teapot she usually liked, blinked and looked at the golden dome in front of her, suddenly feeling a little confused.

……Similar confusion, I seem to have encountered it before.

No mouth.

Enya also fell into a confusion similar to Betty, and as a client, her confusion was mixed with many dumbfounding embarrassments-but this embarrassment did not make her feel unhappy, on the contrary, this series of absurd and helpless situations Instead, it brought her great joy and happiness.

"You can't seem to drink tea..." Betty tilted her head, she didn't know what Enya was thinking, "Same as Mr. Egg..."

"Oh? Is there a ‘person’ similar to me here?" Enya said unexpectedly, followed by some regrets, "Anyway, it seems to be wasting your kindness."

"Mr. Egg is also an'egg', but he is metal, and can float around," Betty said while thinking hard, then hesitated to make a suggestion, "Or, I'll give you some to try ?"

Enya actually felt that she often couldn't keep up with the human girl's thinking: "Pour some?"

"Just fall directly on your eggshell..." Betty also seems to think that this idea is not very reliable, she sticks out her tongue, "Ah, just treat me as a joke, you are not a potted plant..."

"No, you can try."

"what?"

"You can try," Enya said with a strong interest in her tone, "This sounds like a lot of fun-I am now very happy to try everything I have never tried before."

Betty listened in a daze, took the heavy teapot and took a step forward, looked down at the teapot, and then at the giant egg: "Then...I really tried it?"

"Try it, I'm also curious about the way I perceive the world now."

...

Outside the heavy door studded with brass runes, two elite guards on guard are watching the movement in the room. However, the barriers and the sound insulation of the door itself block all prying eyes, and they cannot hear any sound. Came.

After a long time in this way, a royal guard finally couldn't help but break the silence: "You said, what did Miss Betty do when she went in suddenly with tea and snacks?"

Another guard said casually: "Maybe I'm just hungry and want to eat some supper in it."

"I don't think it is like—Miss Betty is very self-disciplined at night, and she goes to the kitchen even if she wants to eat occasionally."

"Then I don't know, she is the chief maid, the highest maid of the inner court, and there is no need to report this kind of thing to us," the guard shrugged. "Can't it be watering that huge egg?"

"……makes sense."

Silence fell outside the gate.

Half a minute later, the two guards suddenly murmured in unison: "Why don't I think it's not necessarily?"
