Chapter 81 Faith and Courage

Latest website: Backlund, Queens, in the Hall family’s luxurious villa. Audrey, who had just returned home from the New Year's party, excused herself to be tired and entered her bedroom.

"Thank you to Her Majesty the Queen for streamlining the process of this year's New Year's Ball, otherwise I would have had to risk sneaking out of Thordrak Palace and rushing to Osseus Square in the Jowood District.

"Although Mr. Tower is here to cover me at the dance, it shouldn't be a big problem...but I really don't want my father and brother to misunderstand me.

After muttering a few words in her mind, Audrey first took a blue cloak and put it on her body. Then she took out a palm-sized notebook from Susie's backpack. Its outer shell looked very hard and made of copper. Green, it looks quite ancient.

That was the "Lemanno's Magic Book" that was rented from Miss "Magician".

Audrey first opened one of the pages, poured her spirituality into it, and created a phantom of herself on the bed, just in case.

Then, she turned back a few pages and used the "recording" ability on it to create a "portal".

Then, Audrey took a deep breath, and together with the golden retriever dog carrying a backpack, they passed through the circular door that seemed to be outlined by flames.

Osseus Square is located in the Jowood District. When the "Cathedral of the Holy Wind" was still the headquarters of the Church of the Storm, the then Pope Osses built this square, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, to hold large-scale religious activities. Look, this square is like a keyhole, with two semicircular colonnades formed by four rows of Doric columns forming a huge ellipse.

It covers an area of ​​about 300 acres, with a towering obelisk in the middle and a fountain on each side.

—300 acres, which is roughly equal to 45 acres on earth, or 24 acres or 3 hectares.

At this time, the Osseus Square was already crowded, with about 12,000 spectators pouring into it, and about 8,000 people waiting in line. Fortunately, the preparation work of "Brain Film and Television Company" was very good. Everyone inside and outside the square was in order, and there was no crowding or stampede accident.

Audrey, who turned on "Psychological Invisibility", did not try to squeeze through the dense crowd. Instead, she relied on "Lemanno's Magic Book" to take Susie directly to the back of a "lion" statue in the square, and gently Qing sat on it.

After observing the people who came to watch the movie from a high position, Audrey found that they rarely felt too sad today. It seemed that the New Year had brought everyone a good mood.

Before they knew it, all the audience had finished entering. A few minutes later, as the music played, the film's main creative staff stepped onto the stage in front of the big screen, addressing the audience one by one and giving New Year blessings. "This kind of premiere format seems to have been pioneered by Mr. Tower. Previous drama openings did not have this kind of opening... I still can't see what effect it has, but maybe it has some profound meaning."

While Audrey was talking to herself, all the lights around the square were extinguished... and as the main actors exited the stage, the big screen also lit up, and "Battlefield Rose" officially began.

Although this story is called "Battlefield Rose," the opening scene of the movie is not a war, but a scene of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl living a happy life under the love of her parents and four brothers.

But happiness is always short-lived. When the war suddenly broke out, the four brothers working in different fields came to the front line and joined the battle.

Then, the bad news came back almost month by month, first to the eldest brother, then to the third brother, and finally the news of the death of the fourth brother in the battle also reached the girl's hands.

Her parents became seriously ill because of this, and they became much older in an instant.

Therefore, the girl who has been fond of shooting and fighting since she was a child and is quite skilled decided to disguise herself as a man and go to the front line to bring home her only second brother.

Although only a quarter of the movie has been shown here, the content on the screen resonated strongly with most people in the audience!

Yes, the kind of people who suffer every day and are most afraid of the knocking on the door and the bad news of their children, parents, brothers, and lovers, aren't they the people here themselves?

And every father, child, lover who has lost a loved one

, who wouldn’t want to imitate the heroine of the movie and bring back their only remaining relatives?

Feeling this strong resonance in her heart, Audrey instantly understood that the citizens who were able to get tickets to watch the movie today were obviously selected by Mr. "Tower", and most of them were the same as the heroine of the movie. Have a similar experience!

So she no longer hesitated, no longer waited for a better opportunity that might appear at the climax of the movie, bent down and took out a bottle of magic potion from the small leather bag carried by the golden retriever Susie.

Countless fragments of light floated in the potion, like the manifestation of the sea of ​​collective subconscious.

Audrey did not hesitate. Under such a scene, she unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

Unlike in the past when she could still experience the potion sliding down her throat and into her stomach, Audrey immediately experienced abnormalities.

She felt like she could no longer sense her body, and her whole body seemed to be condensed into a ball of thoughts, blending into the illusory sea around her.

This was the first time that she directly saw the ocean of collective subconsciousness without passing through the "island" where dreams and souls reside. It was like returning to before she was born, to her mother's arms, to the beginning, to the imprint left by the ancestors of mankind. Like the tide, it washes away, disintegrates, and affects. There was fear, madness, and all kinds of terrible mental pollution. Audrey was unable to resist for a moment, her consciousness faded, and her "figure" shook and was about to melt.

However, the nearby "sea" was not peaceful. The belief in finding her family in grief deeply affected Audrey's soul, making her finally sober up. She skillfully comforted herself, constantly giving hints, and eliminating Contamination until sanity returns.

Family is also the most important belief in Audrey's heart. She instantly resonates with the "soul sea" around her, giving birth to endless "courage".

"Don't give up, won't give up, never give up!" The belief became stronger and stronger. Audrey recited the oath that the heroine in the movie made before setting off, and her figure quickly became clear.

"Susie, I succeeded..."

"I have always been worried before. I was worried that as my order improved, I would be more and more affected by the magic potion, and become more and more indifferent, becoming more and more like a mythical creature instead of a human being."

Susie looked up in confusion, and saw that the eyes of the blond girl next to her were shining with the same "brilliance" as that of the "sun"-like girl in the movie.

Then, she heard Audrey say in her heart:

"But now I am sure that as long as my belief in protecting my family remains firm, I will never become that kind of existence!

"very nice······

At the same time, in the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, Abner's promotion ceremony for "Queen of Stars" Cattleya has been completed.
