The world of dreams is collapsing layer by layer, but Brando knows there is still a final way to go. He put away his things, turned off the experience prompts, and raised his head to see a long corridor appearing in front of him.
This deep corridor seems to extend forward in a circular space, and the surrounding fog is filled with flickering fragments of the past.
He knew that this was no longer Viscount Cardel's dream, but a dream that truly belonged to him.
Self-salvation is often an opportunity hidden deep in the human heart.
Brando moved forward slowly, experiencing the darkness, and then light came from all directions and sprinkled on him. Finally he saw a door, which was immersed in darkness and silence. The patterns on the door were bronze keys and silver crescents. This memory was as new as yesterday. Brando did not stop, Instead, he walked forward and pushed open the door.
The heavy wooden door creaked open.
Behind the door is the center of the palace.
Jinteng Palace, the Hall of the Sages——
A beam of dim light hung from the dome, and the hall was silent. The throne was located in the center of the palace, and there was a silver crown on the red throne. The crown has a slender elf style, with the mountains of the south and the clouds of the north painted on it. Many people in Brando's memory have worn this crown, because it was once a symbol of Eruin.
An unknown craftsman forged this laurel wreath, and the late King Ekk took it to be crowned king in Gray Wind Fortress. In the long years that followed, dozens of kings successively held this honor, but they tried their best to transform it into a laurel wreath. for dust.
After the pages of history were turned, it ushered in its final owner, a beautiful half-elf girl.
Brando saw the faint silver light reflected on the crown, which was almost the same color as Princess Griffin's silver hair, but after the luster dissipated, the moment seemed so bleak.
Does it know where its former owner is now?
Has it ever watched that beautiful princess sleep forever in this palace?
It may not care about the blood stained on it, because it is a dead object and only relies on the greed of mortals.
Brando walked to the center of the hall, but there was no one in the palace. He knew that at some time, many kings had sat here, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess had gracefully walked through the red carpet leading to the main hall, and the knights bowed to her here. .
In another period of time, he and his senior stood here together, in the same dilapidated hall, dim light, the sounds of wind and fire outside were mixed together, and fighting could be heard far and near.
That was the last cry of the dying Eruin, which seemed to symbolize the groan before the palace collapsed.
But now, he was the only one left.
Everything is as before.
Brando saw the flames burning in from outside the palace, turning the palace into a blazing hell in the blink of an eye. The pillars collapsed, the gorgeous works of art turned to dust, and he stood alone in the center of the flames.
"Why aren't you afraid of failure?" asked a weak voice.
That was the voice of Viscount Caddell.
"I'm afraid of failure," Brando saw the pale figure emerging from the flames. He picked up the crown, put it aside, then sat on the throne and replied, "But I'm even more afraid of not being able to see my own heart. "
"Death is not terrible, what is terrible is losing oneself."
Viscount Cardel stood silently opposite Brando without saying a word.
It wasn't until a long time that he let out a sigh.
Brando saw him turn around and walk toward the sea of fire, his back disappearing into the flames. He heard the faint sigh: "I'm sorry, Bedis. I'm sorry, Lord St. Osol."
Brando closed his eyes.
He seemed to be having another long dream in a dream. In the dream, Viscount Caddell was not called Viscount Caddell. He had another identity. People call him the King of the Sun, Cadelfred. He once had a fiancée, a woman named Bedice Ramona Moonleaf, because only such a noble name can bear the surname of the wind elf royal family. .
But the Viscount Cardel in that memory had already died in the woods with his fiancée.
Brando opened his eyes, and the fire had burned under the throne, but he was still sleeping. He was sitting on the throne, not knowing whether it was wrong or right - but it was indeed his choice. There was a loud collapse sound in the flames. Brando thought it was a pillar on one side of the hall that had collapsed, but a figure suddenly rushed out of the fire and grabbed his hand.
"follow me--"
Brando was startled slightly. He raised his head and saw the familiar back advancing in the flames. The flying black hair was particularly dazzling in the scorching air.
"Senior?"
The figure did not answer, but just dragged him through the sea of fire. The palace collapsed beside the two of them. It was almost impossible to distinguish the direction in the thick smoke. The temperature seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and the billowing fog gradually covered all sight.
After a while, Brando felt like he was walking completely in the black fog, and he couldn't tell whether he was still in Jinten Palace under his feet. But the mist suddenly parted from left to right, and the cold moonlight seemed to fall from the sky, shining on him.
Brando was startled slightly, and he raised his head.
There were no palaces or seas of fire around, and only the shadowy cedar forest was left. Only then did he notice that the cold light before was not moonlight at all, but an arc of light blue light on the horizon.
It was a tidal wave of magic.
The surging cloud shadow reflected the light on Brando's face. The female knight in front took him two more steps, then let go and turned around.
Both of them were sweating profusely.
Brando looked at the pale face of the female knight, was startled for a moment, and then blurted out: "Nimesis?"
The female knight didn't answer, she turned around and walked into the forest. Brando saw Haruze curled up under a tree, sleeping soundly, with a shiny line hanging from the corner of his mouth - this guy was actually drooling in his dreams.
When Brando thought about what the little prince looked like in his dream, it was really unimaginable.
Nymesis did not wake him up, but walked to His Highness the Prince, took off the cloak from her body, and then put it on him. When Brando saw how she took care of others, he thought of Senior Bai Jia more than once.
"Are you hiding something from me, Ms. Nymesis?" He suddenly asked.
"Don't ask, thank you," Nymesis turned around and replied softly: "Just this once, give me some time -"
Brando was slightly startled——
He just looked at Nymesis. The two looked at each other in silence for a while, but soon, there was a soft sound in the woods. Brando turned around and watched Laurenna and Firas holding hands as they walked out of the bushes. walked out.
The female knight from the Cruz Empire also gave them a strange look when she saw Brando and Nymesis together.
"Ha, Lord Earl, I didn't expect you to be faster than us." Ferras' performance was much more direct. He shouted: "I had a weird dream just now. It really pissed me off."
"What's going on?" It was not beyond Brando's expectation that this lucky couple was the first to come out of the dream, but he was curious about what could make this guy so angry.
Before Laurenna could stop her, Ferras blurted out: "I dreamed that that bullshit eldest prince actually wanted to marry Laurenna, huh, it's just wishful thinking."
"So how did you solve it?" When Brando saw the female knight blushing because of Feras' words, he knew that the dream must be very exciting. He calmed down and continued to ask curiously.
"Nonsense, of course kill him." Feras replied bitterly.
Brando was sweating profusely after hearing this, thinking that this guy was too tough. Cruz's eldest prince, who was not the first in line to succeed the empire, actually killed him as soon as he told him to. You know, the dream is so real, maybe Feras didn't even think about whether he was in a dream or reality when he did that.
But when he glanced at this guy, he suddenly realized that only such a person would never be confused by the fog in his heart.
"You are lucky, Miss Laurenna." Brando said.
The female knight's cheeks were slightly red, and she punched Feras hard: "This guy does things without thinking, and it scares me to death."
Feras chuckled, and Brando also smiled slightly. He felt lucky for Feras and Laurenna. Not everything in this world can go as planned, but few people have the ability to persevere in the face of adversity. Nature.
He raised his head, but there was no moonlight in the sky. The surging clouds had just passed over the forest, and the demonic tide had already reached its most intense moment.
…
A few hours seemed to fly by, and Freya and Akane walked out of the dream one after another. Medissa, Charles and Hipamira themselves no longer dreamed. They were just lost because of Brando's loss. After Brando left the dream, they came over not long after.
Then there were the scattered knights and other entourages in the team. Afterwards, Nymesis counted the number of people and found that more than half of the team was scattered. All the missing people had been lost in the forest forever and could never be found again. not coming back.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and had a new understanding of the horror of this forest.
Brando asked Freya privately about her experience with Akane, and as he expected, Freya relived the nightmare of escaping from Butcher. However, she said that Brando did not exist in her dream, which made Brando break into a cold sweat.
And Freya also told him that she had experienced a completely different Butchi Night. The future Valkyrie did not go into too much detail, but just said thank you gently to him at the end.
Brando could probably guess what happened to her, just like he could guess the night she would return to Butchi. Perhaps for this Valkyrie, that is the most important memory in her life.
A memory that changed her life.
As for Qian, the mountain girl didn't say much, she just looked at him quietly for a moment, then followed him and never left. Brando couldn't figure out what she was dreaming about.
But like everyone else, everyone seems to be particularly quiet after leaving their own dreams.
Most people leaned on each other and sat huddled in the forest, as if recalling their dreams.
The morning that can never be seen in the eternal night forest brings a new day to everyone in the sense of time——
