Chapter 268 Special Edition: Luo Qixi's Dream (Part ) (Don't order)

Shillong Palace, late at night.

"Squeak, squeak."

In the wide bathtub, a white arm was climbing on the edge of the bathtub, with fingers tightly grasping the edge of the basin. The water surface ten centimeters below the edge was rippling in circles. The girl's pigtails were spread out and draped over her body like seaweed, covering half of her small face. Her brows were frowned and her eyes were closed.

She used her small feet to push hard against the edge of the wooden bathtub, as if the bathtub was too deep and she needed to use her feet to push against the wall of the bathtub in the water to keep from drowning.

Finally, as if she had adjusted her posture, she opened her eyes and looked at the smiling maid not far away with a dazed look.

Everything is good about palace life in Shillong, unless one has to say there are any disadvantages.

There are two points.

1. Well, I can't see you in the morning. What word should I use? I can't find a suitable one, so I'll just think about you day and night.

Yes, the person you miss day and night cannot be seen in the palace.

Thinking of this, Lokixi blinked, her face flushed a little, she buried her head in her arms, secretly glancing at the maid in the distance through the gaps in her hair.

Second, the maids were too enthusiastic.

There are even maids to take care of daily life when sleeping, which makes people have too little privacy.

So it is better now. There should be blind spots in the vision.

Well, it seems that no one has been discovered.

Today I found an interesting historical biography in the library. It seems to be a fairy tale. I can read it before going to bed. It happens to be related to Asura. Maybe Alan will be interested in it. After reading it, I will have the inspiration for the draft of the letter.

When the next letter from Alan comes, just copy it.
superior.
go.
! !
The fingers holding the basin wall suddenly became tighter.

Then it became very fast, skillful and quick.

The words in my heart continued to fall.

call.
All right.

The blue-haired girl relaxed her body and was about to change her posture and turn around.
"Eh!"

"Pfft!!"

But because her legs were a little weak, her feet slipped and she screamed and really fell into the high wooden bathtub, which was 1cm higher than her height. Luo Qixi suddenly jumped into the water and took a sip of refreshing water. Before she could use magic to steady her body, she was pulled out by the maid who came hurriedly.

"Are you okay? Miss Lokishi!"

"Ahem, it's okay. Ahem, it's okay, it's because..." The blue hair was completely stuck all over her head, and this time it really looked like algae. Loki spit out the bath water in her mouth rather embarrassedly, but because some water got into her ears, the voice of the maid beside her sounded very distant.

"Ms. Luo Qixi, you are fine. I will take a bath with you."

She couldn't hear clearly and rubbed her ears subconsciously.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. I am..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly stopped talking, and his somewhat lazy expression revealed a look of astonishment about burying horses in the earthen fort.

The maid came close to her face and gently combed her hair, speaking with a smile.

"Miss Luo Qixi, you don't have to stay in the bathtub every time. Are you worried about causing trouble for us? It's okay, the bed is also fine. You can ask us to boil water for you to take a bath in the middle of the night. Don't think you are bothering us."

Luo Qixi: "Oh, is that so? But, I, you...how..."

The daredevil finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Can you guys see it all the time?!"

The maid smiled very naturally.

"Yes, we can help if you need it."

"Help what?!!!! No! No thanks!!!"

"Then I'll take my leave. If you need me, feel free to call me!"

"Can you please get out?!"

"No, I can't. I am your personal maid as the court magician. If I do this too often, I will probably be fired. I can just turn my back. Is that okay?"

"TT, okay."

"Then please continue."

".Okay, alright."

-

after an hour.

The blue-haired girl was crouching on the table.

A bathrobe was draped loosely on her body, the corners of her cold mouth were pursed even in her sleep, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

There was an even breathing sound.

He actually fell asleep on the table after taking a shower.

Normally, Lokisi should have gone to bed at this time, but perhaps today she found a fairy tale with historical elements that she really liked deep in the library of the Shillong Palace.

So she sat at the desk and thought about waiting until she finished reading, then writing her thoughts on a draft of a letter and sharing it with someone.

But maybe it was because she was too tired from some actions during the bathing process, which caused her to feel exhausted soon after getting out of the bathtub and she fell asleep without realizing it.

Luo Qixi had a long-lasting dream.

No, in fact, compared to her age, the time when this dream happened was not too long ago.

But she did have a feeling that a very long time had passed.

Because she and Allen had indeed been separated for a "long time".

In fact, considering the life experience of this 30-year-old demon girl, more than two years is a short time.

But measured by emotion, she felt that a very long time had passed.

And, most importantly.

She did not wake up.

But I woke up from my dream.

The feeling of dreaming was very clear, and Luo Qixi could clearly feel it.

This is a lucid dream.

In the dim bedroom, there was a history book in front of her. A patient, deliberately gentle voice rang in her ears, which even surprised herself.

"More than 100,000 years ago, it was said that there were seven worlds on this continent, and each was ruled by its own god~"

"The world of humans - the human gods, the world of demons - the demon gods, the world of dragons - the dragon gods, the world of beasts - the beast gods, the world of the sea - the sea gods, the world of the sky - the sky gods, the world of nothingness - the godless gods."

"This time is called the 'Ancient Age of Gods'."

So, it has already started so early.
She blinked and stopped what she was about to say, seeming a little dazed.

Why do you feel this way?
The facts were right in front of her.

The candlelight flickered, the light and shadow flickered, she sat on the chair. Opposite her, there were three futons on the ground, the three people who were staying together sat on them one by one, looking at her with different expressions.

In her dream, she returned to the training camp days in Buena Village.

And in those deep blue eyes, Alan was looking at her smiling face with his chin propped up, his eyes curved with a strong smile.

Allen.

Was this his expression at the time?
The eyes and smile are quite pretty, I haven't seen them for a long time.
——Although it was an 'open class', the deep blue pupils were only mixed with the dark grey pupils.

The air fell silent, and the flames licked the air, making a hissing sound.

Sylphy, still with green hair and still a crybaby, saw Roxy and Alan staring at each other and asked timidly.

"Old. Teacher? What happened after the ancient era of gods?"

Luo Qixi was stunned.

Oh, it's a lucid dream.

I replaced my dream self.

Stop being in a daze, it's time to continue with the class.

Subconsciously, she held the hair on the side of her face with a guilty conscience, glanced at the smile in Alan's eyes again, and immediately lowered her head to look at her very familiar teaching notebook.

This class was a history class, but in her current state, she was very clear about what the teaching goal was 'now', because she had dreamed about this memory several times, but before it was always hazy and she was immersed in it, unlike this time which was a lucid dream.

Luo Qixi pulled the hair on her forehead and continued with the current course progress according to her memory.

"The world is isolated by something like a barrier, and it is impossible to travel to other worlds at will. The residents of a single world do not know that there are actually other worlds. It is said that the only people who know the existence of other worlds are some gods and people who are powerful enough to pass through the isolation barrier."

"Oh, I see." Alan said with a smile.

For some reason, Luo Qixi suddenly didn't dare to raise her eyes. She took a deep breath to calm her accelerated heartbeat.

It's a dream.

Not a reunion.

Don't be nervous.

It's a dream.

".That's, um, 20,000 to 10,000 years ago."

"In the world of dragons, an extremely evil dragon god was born. He broke the barrier and led his subordinates, called the Five Dragon Generals, to destroy other worlds. After the world was destroyed, the remaining people had nowhere to go and could only flee to other worlds. When only the last world was left, the Five Dragon Generals betrayed the dragon god. "

"As the leader of the Five Dragon Generals, the Dragon Emperor and the other four Dragon Kings fought against the overwhelming power of the Dragon God. It was a five-on-one fight, and the result was a draw. In the aftermath of this battle, the dragon world collapsed. In the end, only the human world remained. That is, this world. Hmm, is there anything confusing?"

"It sounds a bit ambiguous. Only the human world is left? Then where did the other gods go? Did they die with the world?" Alan responded immediately.

Luo Qixi's cold mouth corners unconsciously raised, "The records of this part are not very clear, but I have read many books, and they all speculate that the gods are dead, and only the gods of the human world may still exist~"

"Oh~ Then what is the motive of this Dragon God to do this? What is the motive of the Five Dragon Generals to betray the Dragon God? From this perspective, aren't they leading themselves to death?" Alan's voice.

Luo Qixi scratched her face without looking up. "I'm not sure, um. This part of history is almost legendary, it's hard to get a glimpse of the truth."

She paused for a moment, scratched her hair, and added two words.

"Alan."

Alan smiled and looked into Luo Qixi's eyes. "Since this part is a legend, how about we play a game in the form of dialogue to speculate what happened at that time?"

Luo Qixi looked up at Allen, then lowered her head and blinked, with a puzzled expression.

By the way, the conversation has been wrong since I asked a question just now. Up to now, in these conversations, Alan didn't seem to have said anything similar. Yes, Alan was always looking at the map in his hand, planning to take revenge outside the city of Rigate. He didn't really listen to me at all.

It's really annoying. I was so serious when I was talking to him about this. Now I think it's like I was talking to a deaf person. How embarrassing.
Hmm. But this time Alan said a lot. Is it because of lucid dreaming? My thoughts are clearer and more flexible, so my dreams have changed along with my current thoughts?
That’s the only explanation.

Luo Qixi grabbed the "teaching plan" book in her hand.

because
I hope Alan can talk more.
It has been like this since the first time I tried to guide him in his dream to answer questions.
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi responded in a low voice.

".Sure."

Clap, Clap. Alan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Let me start with this. This historical legend lacks a protagonist. I think it would be better to use a villain as the protagonist. Let's call him Laplace! Household names are easy to remember. If I were to write a novel about another world, I would definitely write a great devil Laplace or something like that, so that it would be easier to spread."

"Well, now that we have the protagonist, we're still missing a villain. Let me think about it."

During these few words, Lokixi had blinked several times. She finally faced the fact that "this was just a dream". She was no longer shy, raised her eyes, looked at Alan's face with trembling eyelashes, and listened to his words.

The deep blue eyes were as deep as a deep spring, yet they were filled with understandable emotions.

This dream was a little strange, however.

Somewhat happy.

Just say a little more.

Allen.

As this thought came to mind, Alan's face in the dream seemed to become clearer, his "existence" became more vivid, and the entire dream became brighter.

Too much presence.

Instead, the faces of Sylphy and Rudy beside them looked blurry and dark, as hazy as in a dream.

Luo Qixi's feeling is very fast in the time dimension of thoughts.

Allen's reaction was equally quick.

He raised his eyes and looked back at Luo Qixi, tilted his head to look at her face, his eyes flickering, and after a while he smiled.

"Got it. According to history, the Dragon God is a bad god, but the problem is that the bad god seems to be dead. Well, let the current vested interests be the villain, in this case..."

"Human God."

"It's the villain."

(Updated 10/11.

It was a bit embarrassing, I wrote a (一) and was told to stop. I thought about it and it would indeed break the rhythm, so I'll just put it aside for now.

The original intention here was to write a dream, set up some foreshadowing, and then reveal some of the circumstances of Allen's time travel. At the same time, I would like to introduce and analyze the worldview of humans and gods as a whole. When I was writing today's plot the other day, I mentioned the Battle of Laplace, and I found that too much explanation would break the story, and too little explanation would make it confusing. I feel that passers-by and anime fans will not understand it, so I made some plot designs in the dream, and this dream looks more interesting.

But the story is separated from the main plot, so I wrote a side story with the idea that it would not affect the main text even if it was ignored.

But, after it was released, everyone still wanted to see the main storyline (happy).

If there is a need later, I will see if I should go back and make up for it, or... or introduce the world background in the main story as usual.)
　Write a dream, introduce and analyze the people, gods, and the world view as a whole. When I was writing today's plot, I mentioned the Battle of Laplace, and found that too much explanation would break the story, and too little explanation would make it confusing.

　　I feel like casual fans and anime fans are almost confused.

　　Let's remedy that.

　　Of course, this dream still has a plot, but even if we ignore it, it will not affect the main text.

　　Updated on 10/4 Everyone still wants to read the main storyline.

　　Let's put it aside for now, I'll come back to it, and focus on writing the main story first.
