[Yuanshen] After full favorability, the dimension wall is broken

The Unsullied Land , and the Last Garden

--7--

"Someone whispers in the day,"

"Said we would die in a light thinner than the moon."

"And we are when the wind travels through the leaves,"

"A shape made."

Memories that don't belong to you flooded into your heart like an undercurrent, and the strong impact it brought made you a little dazed.The young man arched his back and hugged you, and you curled up with him in the corner of the wall with your legs bent.

In the small locker room, the sound of your breathing intertwined.The blue lake of the snow-capped mountain trembled slightly, and the white-blonde hair like pale sunlight was mixed with the smell of cedar in the mountains, filling the blood-smelling mouth.

Dandelions wafted through the open door, and sunlight streamed in through the windows.The smell of wine and the fluttering singing of the choir came from the warm wind, bit by bit dispelling the chill that solidified on your body.You raised your head and stared blankly at the blue sky like cornflower petals outside the window.

what……

……yes.

The cold winter has passed, and spring has arrived.

"...Abedo?" You coughed, raised your hand and gently brushed away those messy platinum hairs, looking into those clear blue eyes, "...do you know the "Wind Flower Festival"? "

Abedo was startled, and replied in a low voice: "..."Wind Flower Festival" is a major traditional festival in Mond, which originated from "Bright Crown of the North, Capital of Freedom".It is taken from the allusion of "Flower of the Wind", this so-called flower that represents the spirit of freedom and wind was actually originally just a code word for people to communicate with each other and to fight together in the old Mond era..."

"Shh."

You put your fingers to your lips and gave him a faint smile.

""A tribute to freedom and love, a pilgrimage of poetry and flowers"..." You stood up with your support on the wall, looking out the window at the spring, "I know the so-called definition and introduction of these "Fenghua Festival". "

"However, if the "Flower of Wind" belongs to every Mond, everyone has their own "Flower of Wind"..."

"...So, does everyone have their own "Fenghua Festival"? "

You pushed open the door, turned around and gave Abedo a big, bright smile.

"Shall we go find it together?"

"Who caressed your wounded but resolute face/by the creek/by the rock"

"Who hugs your tired and noble soul/in deep dreams/in high heaven"

"To experience, to find—"

The door is opened, the curtains are raised high, and the dandelions, the smell of wine, the laughter of people and the warm wind pull you out together.With noisy voices and drunken smiling faces, this free and romantic city-state is immersed in grand celebrations and carnivals.The poet who was parading in the city plucked the strings, and the soft singing spread to every corner of the city.

"Dear friend/I hold your hand/Take you into the night lights"

"I will tell you from the beginning / the movement of freedom and dreams in the festival"

"—At this moment, the Fenghua Festival belongs only to the two of us."

Abedo stood up and looked at the fluttering white skirt like the petals of the Cecilia flower.The spring is in the bouquet, pinned on her skirt; the bright sun is clustered on her fingertips, and her skin is full of warm sunshine like a pale snowfield.

She was right.

... Spring has arrived.

""Thousands of flowers in the wind"—"Thousands of flowers in the wind"—" The brown-haired young man folded his hands into a trumpet shape, stood in the shadow of colorful flags and bouquets, and enthusiastically greeted the citizens coming and going in and out of the city, "Don't miss it when you pass by, the most classic event of the "Fenghua Festival", come and try it! "

After seeing the two of you, the young man paused.His emerald green eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to remember something—then he clapped his hands and looked at you excitedly—to be precise, at Abedo.

"Mr. Abedo!" He slapped his head, grinning widely, showing a big smile, "Are you Mr. Abedo? - Oh, it's been a long time since you came to Mond City - you don't remember Am I, I’m Kain! Back then you drew a sketch of Lina and me, do you remember?”

Abedor paused, then nodded slightly: "I see. Long time no see, Kain."

You: "..." Absolutely don't remember, right? Absolutely don't remember——

Cain didn't care whether Abedo was "perfunctory diplomatic rhetoric", but cheerfully welcomed you into the shadow of colorful flags, bouquets and clusters of green leaves: "The last time I saw Mr. Abedo was three years... Uh? Three years? Or is it four years..." He scratched his head, showing an embarrassed smile, "Anyway, it's been a long time! Why haven't you been to Mond City for so long this time?"

You looked at Abedo's white and indifferent side face, and the strange feeling that had been lingering in your heart resurfaced again, intertwined with what you just experienced and the scene you saw, forming a somewhat complicated mood.

From the day you wake up from the icy snow field, your brain rarely thinks.In retrospect, you spent most of the time in pain and sleep; the short waking time was spent snuggling with Abedo, whether it was eating or having a short conversation.

Even if you see the time and know that spring has come, and at the same time have some doubts why no one has ever visited Abedo's camp, so you insist on going out-you haven't thought about a very important question.

Why did you come to Tivat continent?What state are you in?Live or die?

A long, long time ago, when you were most confused on your own life path, you met in the real world with partners who should only be met in games.

And when that tunnel was completely closed, all records about them were gradually erased from that world.First, the disappearance of the game, the silence of the company, and the large-scale forgetting of the crowd.Even in the end, even you yourself start to forget.

In order to resist forgetting, you choose to condense your own memories and perceptions of the world into portraits, texts or exhibitions.Your memory keeps blurring, and the countless marks you left along the way remind you all the time that you have walked this road and met many people on this road.

But no matter how hard you try to keep the memory alive, time keeps running on relentlessly.Your life has come to an end——

——But at the same time, you also ushered in a new life.

As Fengshen who just visited suddenly said, Abedo disregarded the opposition of others, and transformed his master's inheritance from Kanria - "The Art of Black Earth", trying to create a body that can accommodate your soul.

His behavior was opposed by many people, and even Fengshen remained silent about it.Maybe it's out of recognition of his freedom, or out of respect for his will, or maybe it's out of other reasons——

——In the end, Fengshen extended a helping hand, and Abedo's countless failed experiments finally ushered in the dawn of hope.

...If this is the truth and fact that you were able to come to the continent of Tivat...

You pursed your lips and looked into those blue eyes.The young man in front of him was talking with Kain—er, even though it was a conversation, most of it was Kain himself talking...

Kain: "Mr. Abedo, when you came last time, Lina and I were not married yet! It was also the Wind Flower Festival, and we had a quarrel in front of the Cattail Tavern because of the ownership of the "Wind Flower"... "

Abedo: "Well, yes."

Caine: "...At that time, we ate ragout, manor baked muffins, and Northland smoked chicken. Ah, what a delicious meal! Thanks to Deer Hunter's, and Sarah's Long! Those exquisite recipes have always brought relief and touch to Mond City!..."

Abedo: "Well, you continue."

you:"……"

As expected of Abedo... no matter how long it has been, or which world he is in, he is too indifferent to things he is not interested in...

Just when you were dazed for a while, Kain's eloquence has entered a new stage: "...Then, Mr. Abedo suddenly came over and handed us a sketch..."

"Huh?" You raised your head and looked at Kayin curiously, "Abedo...suddenly handed you a sketch?"

The moment you raised your head, Abedo, who was originally perfunctory and careless, also raised his head immediately, rubbing his eyebrows in embarrassment: "...Okay, it happened a long time ago——"

"—Yes!" Seeing that an audience was finally interested, Kain immediately pulled you back enthusiastically, "Is this lady interested? I mean, I haven't seen you before, you and Abedo Could it be that sir's relationship is—oh! that's offensive..."

Abedo: "..."

you:"……"

Abedo, I understand why you don't want to listen to him...

...Most of what this guy says is useless, hey!

"...Ahem, Mr. Abedo said at the time—" Cain coughed, and just when you were full of curiosity, he suddenly showed a sly smile, "If you are willing to participate in the "Thousands of Flowers in the Wind" activity, It's okay to tell you, okay? "

You crossed your hips and widened your eyes: "...Hello!"

Kain shrugged his shoulders helplessly and spread his hands: "No way - this is my duty. As you can see, there will be various fun activities in Mond during the Wind Flower Festival; however, Events don’t have to be in town, and if no one introduces them, these great games will be missed.”

Abedo hugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: "Oh? Of course. As we have seen all along, you are very responsible."

You: "..." Mr. Abedo satirized others calmly.

Kain rubbed the back of his head and coughed in embarrassment: "...cough... oh, well - "Thousands of Flowers in the Wind" is a traditional event; er, Mond City has often conducted some public opinion surveys over the years , and the new activities of the "Fenghua Festival" are also increasing..."

"The result is——" Cain lowered his upper body, shaking his head exaggeratedly and sighing, "—nobody participated in these traditional classic events."

"And we, as Zephyr knights, of course need to increase the utilization rate of the arranged activities. ——Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing." Cain coughed twice, and approached you mysteriously, "You know The "Perfect Balloon" next door, the celebration balloons that were not finished last year, were released directly at the entrance of West Wind Church because they didn't know how to deal with them. The supervisor was fined to clean the church for a month! "

You: "..." So whose master is it to fly the celebration balloons for the Wind Flower Festival in the West Wind Church——

Caine: "—Yes, and a few balloons have exploded."

Abedo: "...Well, I have an impression." The original experimental plan was postponed for several days because of the sudden whim of the spark knight...

"Ahem——" Kayin put his palms together and winked at you, "In short, "Thousands of Flowers in the Wind", it's definitely not worth it—how about it, don't you come and try it?Why don't you come and have a try?I mean--"

In order to prevent this mouth from going on, you raised your hand unbearably: "——Let's participate! Isn't it okay to participate——"

"Okay! Then, let me explain to you how to play this interesting event!"

"..." The status switching is a bit too fast.

"As the name suggests, the main idea of ​​"Thousands of Flowers in the Wind" is to jump down from a high place, fly in the air, and shout loudly, Yaho——"

Abedo: "...Mr. Cain, please get to the point."

"—Anyway, with such a celebration board sign—" Fearing that the two players I found with great difficulty ran away, Kain coughed and quickly got back on track, pointing to the board with the windmill logo engraved next to it, " They are all challenge locations for "Thousands of Flowers in the Wind". "

"After the challenge starts, jump off the high-altitude platform and collect all kinds of flower balls in the air within a certain time limit." Kain took out a small box from behind and handed it to you with a smile.

"Although it is said to be "ten thousand flowers", there are actually three main types. "Kain pointed to the three points on the index mark, "they are the "Flower Flower Group", the "Honey Petal Crown" in the shape of a windmill chrysanthemum, and the "Destination Garland" in the shape of a wreath.Collect their petals and put them in this box, and submit them uniformly at that time. "

When you left, you suddenly remembered, and looked at Cain with your hips crossed: "—so, what exactly did Abedo say at that time?"

Cain's smile froze, and he looked at Abedo cautiously; while Abedo looked at you helplessly, and finally just shook his head in acquiescence.

"Well——" Cain finally relaxed, showing you a playful smile, "At that time, Mr. Abedo suddenly came over and handed us the sketch, saying—"

"——The way you guys talk makes me think about "Love"..."

"...It seems that I understand a little bit."

The fair-skinned young man is leaning slightly, lowering his eyes to carefully check for you whether the Wing of Wind has been installed properly.You are standing on a slightly higher hillside near Xingluo Lake, preparing to take the first test flight of the Wing of Wind in your life.

The scenery here is very good.Go all the way down from the high hillside, from under the blue dome, you look at the canopy of the Whispering Forest not far away.

... Come to the Tivat Continent, really use the wind wings developed by the predecessors, and fly freely in the air, how quietly you have dreamed about it.

However, if the truth and the fact of being able to come here are true...

... How much did this young man in front of him, who looked so calm and indifferent, suffer silently behind his back?

The gentle breeze passes by your side, the green grass leaves on the shore and the reflection of the lake sway slightly in the breeze; and the young platinum hair also trembles in the wind and sweeps across the back of your neck, making you endure I couldn't help chuckling.

Hearing your voice, the young man turned his face suspiciously, as if asking you what happened.

"...What, is there any discomfort?"

...Look, not only did I think it in my heart, but I even actually said it.

"Trying to use Wing of Wind for the first time, nervousness is inevitable. I have done a fairly complete study and consideration of the structure and usage specifications of Wing of Wind again."

"Then, let's start with this "Flight Guide" again. First, please confirm your physical and mental health before flying; second, please take advantage of the wind field or higher terrain when taking off; in addition, please pay attention to the wind and wind when flying with the wings of the wind. Wind direction, maintain..."

Standing up, Abedo's unique voice was calm and calm——

——Of course, if he has read similar theoretical knowledge all the way.

So, who is nervous!

"——"Maintain flight balance, retract the wings of wind at a safe height when landing"——" You let out a long breath, "Abedo, I just test flight from this hillside, not from Star Picking Cliff or The lookout point jumps straight down, don't be so nervous! "

So, when you stand confidently on the hillside, you aim at a piece of grass that looks quite soft and comfortable.Confirmation of wind direction - correct; slightly bowed posture - correct; judgment of terrain - correct.

Then, there is only one next task——

— Jump down, spread the wings of the wind, and fly!

Abedo stood a little behind the hillside, staring blankly at his flowers.

She flies.The white skirt spreads out to the petals of the Cecilia flower; two carefully selected wind wings burst into bloom in the wind, and the clusters of blooming wing feathers are like white doves in the forest, ready to fly, And like a light kite.

...that was his flower.

His flowers are literally...alive, blooming, and flying in the sun.

"...Hmph, Wings of the Wind, it's just—————"

...the kite, the string is broken.

Just when you were frantically trying to adjust the Wings of Wind, and Abedo behind you was so anxious that he opened the Wings of Wind and created a lot of sunflowers constantly blooming along the path you might pass, regardless of his posture and reason. The arrow-like red figure rushed over with a whistling sound——

"--Ouch!"

You blinked, and after you realized it, you didn't even bother to straighten the device behind you first, and quickly squatted down, reaching out your hand gratefully to help the kind person who saved you just now: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's the first time I use Wings of the Wind, I'm not very good at..."

"It's all right! ——But, have you really obtained your Mond City flight license? During your flight just now, you obviously lost your balance in a few places..." The girl in red stood up while holding your hand, While patting the dust on his body briskly, "Although it is a pretty good attempt for beginners, if you want to participate in the challenge of "Ten Thousand Flowers in the Wind" alone, it is better to be more cautious. "

"If you want, as a scout knight of the Zephyr Knights in Mond City, I can also—" She stood up straight, exhaled a long breath, showed a warm and sincere smile, raised her head and looked at about you.There seemed to be a burning glow in those amber eyes, and her playful words seemed to never stop.

Her tone is still so lively, vibrant and enthusiastic, and the hands holding you are still so warm and firm.

everything……

...just like the day we first met.

The day when you set foot on this romantic and mysterious continent for the first time through the Internet a long time ago.

However, all of this—whether words or smiles—stopped abruptly when you looked at each other.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and even the bunny-eared bow on her head trembled slightly.She took two quick steps forward and moved her lips, as if hesitating for something.The young and energetic boys and girls ran down the hill laughing, shoving and laughing affectionately, but stopped the moment they saw you.

On the soft grass, the girl's lips moved, and her amber eyes trembled.

After a few breaths, she asked with a somewhat uncertain tone:

"……is it you?"

"—Amber! Are you all right?"

"Well, it should be due to luck...? Why did the wind direction suddenly change?"

"Hmph! This is an evil wind from another world——with my left eye, the "eye of condemnation" that penetrates the thread of cause and effect, the momentary wind of the moonlight here is like a turning point of fate—"

A familiar voice rings in your ears.Countless memories that have faded away emerge like a tide, making you a little dazed.A warm touch came from your shoulders, and you slowly raised your head in the direction of the heat, and met a pair of blue eyes.

Abedo didn't know when he stood behind you, gently holding your shoulder with some relief and encouragement.

You suddenly feel that the emotions that have been bubbling up in your heart have found a place.After a pause, you showed a big smile towards the familiar face opposite:

"……Um."

"long time no see."

"...So, is it true what Captain Qin didn't tell me before?" Amber pulled you to sit on a high hillside, holding your hand curiously and nervously, with a few hints in his words. Surprised and careful.

"Huh?" Speaking of it, you are also a little curious, "Head Qin...didn't you say it?"

Amber shook her head: "No..." She looked at Yula and Abedo who were standing not far away talking, "I knew about this at the time because I saw Mr. ... Afterwards, Captain Qin sighed for several days."

"Huh...?" You were startled, and following Amber's gaze, you also looked at the direction where Abedo was standing.Bennett and Fischer seem to be working on a tricky finish wreath.

Just now they shook hands with you cordially and warmly one by one—in fact, at first Bennett wanted to give you a warm hug, but Abedo politely refused; I forgot to bring the sentence patterns, and I cared about you from top to bottom.

The soft grass is full of gentle sunlight, outlining the outline of the wind.The youth's platinum hair shone brightly in the sun, shining like gold, reminiscent of an incomparably pure and quiet snowfield bathed in the sun.

"Yes," Amber hesitated for a moment, then pulled you to whisper, "After all, it's a dangerous thing... In fact, most of the insiders are against it. If it wasn't for Miss Lisa's persuasion, Fengshen wouldn't have thought about it. If you have no objections, I guess Captain Qin couldn't help but want to stop him personally..."

You moved your lips and looked at the young man's peaceful face.The metal pendant on his wrist swayed slightly with the swing of his hand, collided with each other and made a crisp sound, shining brightly in the sun.

At the beginning, under such circumstances, did Abedo choose countless attempts that were almost hopeless...?

"—so," Amber's large amber eyes blinked curiously, "are they telling the truth?"

"Eh?"

"Oh, that's it..." She seemed a little embarrassed, and after a bit of trembling, she approached your ear and asked in a low voice, "They said that Abedo used the heart of a dragon to shape a new heart for you. Really?"

You: "... who said that?"

Amber: "Everyone says so."

You: "... who are you?"

Amber: "Oh, it's everyone in Mond City..."

"..." Mond people, it is indeed you.

"Okay," Yula came over, looked at you and then sighed, "...specific things...that's all. In short, you really don't feel any discomfort right now, right? "

You looked at Yura's eyes full of worry and concern, your heart warmed up, and you nodded with a vigorous smile.

Yula looked at you for a long time, and finally just sighed and waved her hands: "I have caused so much trouble for the Zephyr Knights... Hmph, I will remember this grudge!"

Amber ran behind her, stuck out her tongue at you with a smile, and made a sneaky grimace with a smile.Guess she's probably saying something like "this guy just doesn't know how to show he cares" - of course she ends up smiling and waving "see you next time" -

"We still have to continue to ensure that everyone can experience the activities of the Wind Flower Festival safely." Bennett rubbed his nose with his hands, and showed you a bright smile.

"...Traveler from another world, I, the convict princess, wish you well. After all, there are no nightmares and disasters, dare to get involved in the holy people of Youye Pure Land..."

"Miss means, I wish you all the best on your journey."

"...Ozzy!..."

Abedo stood behind her and looked at you silently.After you said goodbye, I held out my hand to you.His smile was still so calm and calm, and his palm exuded a touch of warmth.

Lush and lush trees are overgrown, and the wind from Benlangling brings a bit of coldness and loneliness.Looking down from the hillside here, you can see the red roofs surrounded by grape groves.The Wind Crystal Butterfly fluttered its wings and passed through the little lamp grass and the hook fruit.You walked all the way down the high hillside, looking for the next competition point of "Ten Thousand Flowers in the Wind".

The twilight light gradually entered the clouds, and the glow emerged from the gaps in the leaves of the trees.The light in the mountains casts down, and the shadows flow slowly on the soft grass.Looking into the distance from the hillside, one can get a glimpse of the towering and sharp pine tops, as well as a corner of the proving ground carved with intricate patterns.

"The scenery here..."

Facing the wind mixed with the fragrance of pine wood, you exhaled a long breath and showed a faint smile.

"...It's been so long, but it's still so beautiful."

Abedo's figure paused.He turned his head slightly, looked at you for a long time, moved his lips, but finally said nothing.He stands by your side, consciously blocking the downwind for you.

From a distance, clusters of petals can be seen in the air.The wind makes people feel so comfortable, with a hint of coolness that has not completely faded away, but it seems to sweep away all your doubts, hesitation and all heavy things.You suddenly feel freed from a certain heaviness.Whether it is the memories you want to remember, or the sadness and pain that weighs on your heart; you suddenly feel light in your body, and the sky is high and wide.

This is the continent of Tivat.After a long history, before the gods walked on the earth, it has quietly existed in this world.It has experienced prosperity, and it has also experienced countless wars.In the ashes, life blooms again.In the blind spot where the gods stare, those who want to dream spend their lives exploring the boundaries of the world.It is full of the past, full of memories; full of death, but also full of new life.

Thousands of winds pass by your side, as if encouraging your courage to move on.The platinum-blonde hair of the person beside you is swaying in the wind, and the blue eyes like cornflower petals are quietly watching you.

You smiled at him, spread your arms loosely, and jumped down.The wind-filled wings of the wind spread, and you seem to become a real bird.

This is the continent of Tivat.The blood of the giant Pangu turned into rivers, Pulusha's body was cut to nourish all beings in the universe, and Ymir's brain became the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.The seven gods walk on it, and the traveler's journey has just begun.

This is the Tivat continent——

- and the beginning of your journey.
