Chapter 803 Patty’s Friend

After talking about it, many things can be discussed openly.

Gawain believed that when he, the "outside wanderer", appeared openly in the spiritual network, Selina Gerfen should have been mentally prepared for her own exposure.

After all, judging from the current situation, the psychic network is almost transparent to "extraterritorial wanderers".

"What is the relationship between you and Patty?"

After hearing Gawain's words, Selina's face did not show much surprise, but she remained silent for a moment. , she said with some emotion and a tone as if a stone had fallen from her heart: "You finally asked about this matter..."

Then before Gawain could speak, she took the initiative to ask: "Do you care about Patty?"

"Why, is it weird for an 'Outlander' to care about a little human girl?" Gawain asked with a smile, "I must think the same as you think. Indescribable, lacking the emotions and morals that a mortal should have, can he be considered a qualified 'outlander'?"

Selena was startled, and the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up a little: "The inherent impression is not that easy to break. , I hope you can understand this.

"As for Patty...please don't worry, I'm just 'together' with her, I haven't hurt her, and I don't intend to hurt her. "

Gawain did not take his eyes away from Selina: "Why did you choose Patty? "

Selena's voice was very soft: "As a 'spirit' that has lost its body, my soul is splitting every moment. I need a real mind as my own 'mind. Calibration point', relying on constant self-calibration to repair one's own soul, so as to prevent oneself from slipping into an irrational undead step by step.

"Such a mental calibration point is not easy to find. It requires an innate match of the soul and acquired conditions."

Gao Wen's brows did not relax much: "So, You found Patty because she happened to be a 'match' for you?"

Selena shook her head after a brief silence: "No, what we originally found was not Patty...even though she She was also one of the eligible 'alternatives', but what we originally wanted was the daughter of another wealthy businessman in the south."

"Then why did you choose Patty in the end?" Gawain suddenly said. Somewhat puzzled, "Judging from her physical condition, Patty was obviously not the best choice at the time... Could it be that something happened to your original goal?"

In the lights of the night, Selena's A voice sounded softly: "...because she wants to live."

Gawain glanced at Selina in surprise.

“When I was wandering in the chaotic and dim dreams of the South, Patty’s mind attracted me like a firefly in the darkness. A soul that was about to die, exuding an atmosphere that made me Amazed by her will to live, and when I tried to talk to this frail mind, the first word she said to me was 'hello' - in the classicAfter what happened, she was still very polite.

"As you said, Patty is not a suitable choice. She was even on the verge of death at the time. Maybe I will have to re-select the next mental calibration point soon after choosing her, but there is a saying. I wonder if you still remember: Those who save themselves should always be helped."

"One of the rules of the Dream Church is also one of the psychological rescue rules passed down from the time of Gondor to this day," Gawain nodded. "I just didn't expect that you are still abiding by it."

"...It has been seven hundred years, and I have violated it countless times," Selena smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, " But occasionally I would like to abide by it, just to reminisce about the past."

"So Patty is your 'occasion'," Gawain said, but suddenly remembered Amber in his heart. When reporting to myself some of the circumstances mentioned in the progress of the investigation about Glenling, I couldn't help but rub my chin with my fingers, showing a thoughtful look, "According to people who have taken care of Patty, Patty once had a 'miracle' She survived the most dangerous stage as usual, and her final survival is incredible in the eyes of pharmacists and other professionals. Was it your fault?"

"I didn't do anything. ," Selena smiled calmly, "It was just me when she was in the most pain.

"That crown has no effect at all on shielding pain and perception, except as an ordinary person. Apart from being a medium to enter the dream world, its only function is to exchange me with Patty when she wants to sleep - even she herself doesn't know this.

"Of course, now she no longer uses the tiara and no longer needs it. I know you gave her a magic device to help her sleep. For Patty now, that is There are enough things."

Gawain did not hide his surprise, nor his doubts: "So...it is you who controls Patty's body when he falls asleep...that is in the spiritual network. Who is accompanying Patty? ”

“It’s just me, a split incarnation, but sometimes it’s Wendy, Rachel, or Irelia.”

"...What you did for Patty surprised me."

"This is nothing to me. I have experienced death once, and it was more painful than Patty." "Moreover," Selena shook her head, "And I am also using Patty to calibrate my mind and use her as a kind of container. This is a fair trade."

Selena. Na's voice fell, but there were more words she didn't say.

She knew very well that what she did to Patty...maybe just some kind of self-impression and comfort. It had nothing to do with sublimity, and it was not even a conscience. It was just to make her face the problem. When I'm in trouble... I can feel more at ease.

Gawain just looked into Selina's eyes quietly, and in some kind of tacit understanding, neither of them broke through this.

"Now that Patty is no longer using your tiara,You can no longer access the spiritual network," Gawain broke the silence, "But obviously, you still have the ability to roam in the spiritual world without using a medium. Will you still meet Patty? "

"The current spiritual network is very unsafe, and it is good to keep Patty away," Selena said. "As for me...although I am still with her now, I don't plan to do it anymore. If it appears, let her regard it as a dream from her childhood, just like every child's 'green elf friend' when they were young. "

"Green Elf Friends" is a long-standing saying in many areas of the northern continent. People believe that the giant seeds dropped by the giant tree in spring contain elves. These "elves" can comfort frightened people. To help children fall asleep, young parents usually collect fallen giant wood seeds in spring and carve them into puppets and other things for their children to use as playmates. From this custom, many other traditions have emerged. Stories with "green elf friends" as the core, and even the saying that "every child will have a green elf friend in childhood" are widely circulated in the northern part of the continent.

As for the evidence behind these legends, It was confirmed after the Empire's First Druid Research Center successfully isolated a harmless calming component from the giant wood seeds...

Some slightly divergent thoughts flashed through Gawain's mind, He couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Paddy is now long past the age of believing in 'green elf friends'. Did you choose to fade away from her sight because you didn’t want to disturb her future life? "

"She is recovering and will live a more normal life in the future. In a normal life, there is no need to have a ghost from the dark sect standing next to her all the time. "

"...I don't intend to interfere with your decision, but I just want to remind you that you have no right to decide for Patty what a normal life is," Gawain said slowly, "Sisi We are a more open and tolerant society. Even a plant can become a legal citizen of the empire. You should also learn to be more adaptable to all this. "

"...I will remember your reminder and consider it seriously. "

"I hope so," Gawain said, and then glanced at Selina, who was about to leave. "By the way, before you leave, I have something for you - it may It will be of some help to those who are contaminated by upper class narrators. "

Selena immediately became interested: "What is it? "

"Some runes," Gawain smiled, sketching a few symbols in the air, "gifts from the deep sea..."

...

The invisible spiritual connection gradually faded away, and Selina Gerfen, holding the lantern, disappeared into the air quietly like a waking dream. < /p>

Gawain did not look back, but just looked at the cityscape shrouded in lights and stars as always, as well as the dark mountains in the distance that only showed hazy outlines in the night.

Everything. lookEverything has been very peaceful, but beneath the tranquility known to the world, crises and turmoil unknown to the world are constantly rising.

Before this, Rosetta Augustus could not have known anything about the Order of the Eternal Sleepers hidden in her empire, but for a long time, his main energy had obviously not been put aside On this dark sect.

But that is the past. If he knew that the shadow of the wanderer from outside the territory had emerged in this dark sect, if he knew that the ruler of the neighboring country had extended his hand into the heart of his empire...< /p>

Gawain couldn't help but look forward to the reaction of Emperor Rosetta Augustus.

It is foreseeable that after the Sandbox No. 1 incident, there will definitely be a turmoil in Typhon. Large-scale eradication of cults and internal investigations are inevitable.

Even if the Eversleepers are prepared, their power in Typhon will surely suffer a severe blow and they will have to secretly move towards Cecil.

As for Gawain himself, he actually doesn’t care what will happen after the information about the extraterrestrial wanderers and the Eternal Sleep Order is exposed to Rosetta. First of all, he and the Eternal Sleep Order have already done everything. Preparations have been made, and the transfer of core personnel and information will begin soon. Secondly...

The Cecil Empire’s infiltration of Typhon has not focused on cult forces from the beginning - culture, technology, and economy. , these things on the surface are the key points.

During the negotiations between the two countries, Rosetta must have thought from the beginning that Cecil would use some way to infiltrate Typhon, and even this kind of infiltration was normal in the "exchange" process between the two empires. "Link", in this case, Gawain would like to have something that can attract Rosetta Augustus's attention, so that he can concentrate on dealing with the Eternal Sleeper cultists in the territory, and let him leave the Phantom Theater alone, don't go Pay attention to those Cecil businessmen, and ignore those "private technology companies"...

And in the whole process, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to keep Daniel hidden and pay attention to his own safety - after all, he He is the only key figure who has crossed both the "open line" and the "dark line". He is not only a high-level technical spy installed in Typhon, but also an important node of the Order of the Eversleeper.

So in the next period of time, Gawain will ask Daniel to stay away from the affairs of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers as much as possible to avoid exposing himself.

Anyway, he, the "outside wanderer", has openly participated in the Eternal Sleeper's bishops' conference. He can already do some things in person without Daniel's frequent transit.

......

At midnight, the bright stars shine in the sky of Aldernan, but there is a layer of hazy mist that blocks the cold brilliance from the universe. Shrouded in layers of thick fog, this imperial capital named "Millennium City" sleeps in the darkness despite its youth. Dark spiers, towering city walls, and solemn towers are lined up in the fog, as if reflecting this The empire is well-ordered and hierarchical.

In this imperial capital in the fog, there is only obsidianThe stone palace and a few towering towers can break through the blockage of dense fog and bathe in the clear starlight.

Rosetta Augustus woke up from her dream and saw that the cold light shining into the room through the glass window was dyed with a dusk-like color.

He quickly got rid of the haze caused by sleep and woke up completely.

After putting on a coat, the middle-aged ruler of the empire came to the window with a cold and indifferent expression, overlooking the window.

The light of dusk enveloped everything, and the familiar Aldernan scenery outside the window was no longer there.

The streets and houses of another city were bathed in the sunset, and the indifferent golden glow spread from the distance to the outer wall of the palace, immersing everything in this cursed dream.

It seems to be happening more and more often...

Rosetta Augustus frowned slightly, but the cold and indifferent expression on her face did not change much. He just took a half step back and left the window, then turned towards the door, opened the door and walked out of the room.

According to rumors circulated within the family, choosing to protect yourself in this cursed dream and locking yourself in a safe room is the first step to complete failure and being swallowed up by madness.

Rosetta didn’t know whether this statement was right or wrong. He only knew that from the first time he fell into this dream, he had only one way to deal with it——

Face it.
