The Spirit World

Chapter 897: Sweet Dreams (7)
Colin was filled with thoughts. Although the food cooked by the Hall family's top chef was delicious, when everyone got together, almost no one was actually acquainted with her.

She could vaguely call out a few people's names, but it would be very embarrassing to call out the wrong names in front of so many people, so it was really difficult to open her mouth.

She chewed a portion of tender foie gras in oil sauce made from a thousand-feather goose breed, but she didn't think it tasted good at all. Instead, she felt that the foie gras was too light.

In her memories and five senses of her previous life, the food she ate every day when she was down and out was rich in oil and salt, simply because it was easy to preserve and could even be eaten for several days when the weather was not hot.

She only knew the magic she learned before she was six years old, so she was naturally no match for anyone else, and she had never attended a regular college. However, she had gained a lot of social experience through repeated tortures and hardships.

She, now, couldn't get used to eating this damn aristocratic food.

Maybe it will be better in the future. After all, you still have to eat.

She didn't take the initiative to talk to others, but just kept her head down and worked hard, and naturally someone would come to talk to her.

In front of her was Liliantu, the third son of the Carolingian family.

Lilliantu watched her eat. Although she didn't eat with gusto, at least she didn't act like a noble lady. When she ate something very delicious, she would gently suck on her chopsticks, spoon and fork. Her memory of family etiquette was also there, but there was no doubt that she simply didn't want to eat so hard. After all, except for the host Lili Marlene, everyone else was a child.

She ate generously and decently, without any problems, but this attracted Liliantu's attention.

Lilliantu watched her eat for almost the entire meal, which sometimes made her feel embarrassed.

His deep purple eyes kept looking at him, as if he was looking at something very natural yet very strange.

"you like me?"

In front of Colin, the third son of the Carolingian family was still a little kid. To her, this childish look was just a joke from an older sister to her younger brother.

Lilliantu is quite handsome, but unfortunately, he is just a child.

Colin touched his mouth with a handkerchief, put it aside, and looked at Liliantu. Liliantu had been staring at Colin, so he certainly knew that this sentence was directed at him.

This is not a good sentence to respond to.

For an ordinary little boy, he would most likely answer with a nod seriously, or shyly, or simply refuse.

But Lilliantu was obviously different. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a very natural smile. This smile seemed a little weird to Colin, but he was also puzzled.

Liliantu said in a childish voice: "If that's the case, that would be great."

Liliantu's food was untouched. Although everyone was still eating slowly, Liliantu had already stood up.

"You are very interesting...woman...we will meet again..."

Liliantu touched her collar with her hand, her eyes fixed on Colin, but her hands had already straightened her clothes, making them neat and tidy.

Colin looked at Lilliantu with half-understanding confusion, watching him say goodbye to Lilimaren and leave the small hall.

While the adults were discussing important matters, the children could only eat.

But those who want to get to know each other may still be able to get to know each other.

Colin looked at the second sister and third brother of the Carolingian family. They both looked at her at the same time, so she looked away.

It's so weird...

today……

Why did she travel through time?

Why did I travel to today...

she,
what should I do?
What can be done?
Just to live again?

Although this suggestion is good, she will not agree to it if she has to live a life with her family broken up again!
So now... maybe there should be some hints... or a turning point...

Her father’s death was the starting point of her family’s financial ruin and also the starting point of her tragic life.

Why does she only forget this period of time in her memory? Or is it because it was too long ago that she forgot it?

Impossible! She knew her father died, but she didn't know when or where it happened! How could this be possible?

She had such a tragic past life, so her father's death must have been deeply engraved in her mind and she would never forget it...

Why...I just can’t remember?

As long as she changes! If she changes the history of her father's death, her life will definitely change!

"Hello~ Are you Miss Colin Colridge?"

Lili Marlene held a glass of juice and sat in front of Colin.

Colin pulled himself out of his reverie and straightened up when he saw Lili Marlene.

Lili Marlene was twelve years older than her, and only eighteen years old, in the prime of her life. According to the logic of the big family, she could go to the hall to dine and participate in the Dragon Assembly, but perhaps because someone who could control the situation was also needed here, she just happened to be suitable, so she appeared here.

"Yes...Colin Collidge."

Colin nodded.

Lili Marlene also smiled and nodded.

"Dear Miss Colin Colridge, don't mind my brother. He is sometimes even weirder than my father... But don't worry, he means no harm..."

Lilimaren was obviously paying attention to her brother's actions, but out of politeness and Liliantu's face she didn't want to point out his embarrassing behavior to his face.

Liliantu staring at Colin was naturally extremely rude in Lilimarlene's eyes, but no one knew what Liliantu said to Lilimarlene that made her sit here and talk about this matter specifically.

That was even more strange, because he didn't know any Lili Marlene. Even if it was Lillian Tu, she was famous because he was able to secure the first place in the magic group at the Dragon Conference.

He is in the same class as me, so naturally he will remember it more clearly.

But there is no intersection!
In my memory of my previous life, they never appeared, or even provided help.

When I was displaced, I did not expect help from others. I had already experienced the hardships, so why would I need so many unnecessary things?
"How are the preparations for the Dragon Expedition going, Miss Coric? Have you contacted Fran's mentor?"

Lili Marlene's two questions were connected so that it didn't seem like she was mocking Colin.

Because everyone in Wenti County knew that Liliantu would be the champion of the magic group of this Dragon Exit Conference. Even though Colin, a water element magician, was extremely talented, he could only serve as a foil for Liliantu.

Colin didn't care, because as far as she could remember, she had never participated in a dragon conference.

The Dragon Conference represents a new step. Anyone who ranks high can be favored by colleges across the Principality. However, as the top college in the Principality, the Royal Academy of Flanders only accepts top talents such as the first and second place.

In her memories before the time travel, Lili Marlene gave up on the Dragon Conference and chose to study in a new college in the new United Public City [Lastar], which made her obviously more... rebellious.

In other words, they know how to avoid the limelight and seize opportunities.

The emerging city of Lastal is thriving and is destined to have extraordinary development opportunities. While everyone is still scrambling to go to Fran, Lastal's reputation is getting better and better, which can be seen from this woman's vision.

The most important thing for a woman is a broad vision and outstanding insight. There is nothing new under the sun. If you follow the clues and see the leopard through the tube, you will be almost right. It is not new to make wild guesses.

Everyone understood that it was a matter of personal opinion, and those who were confused just dealt with it perfunctorily, not very happy. "No... Sister Lili Marlene..."

Colin was going to address her as Lili Marlene, even though he didn't use it.

"That's it..."

Lili Marlene looked a little regretful.

Colin saw Lili Marlene's disappointment and became even more confused.

Why……

He looks lost...

"Is your mother all right?"

They are not familiar to each other to some extent, but at least they are not strangers and there is still something to talk about.

Lili Marlene's eyes looked at Colin, and inevitably drifted towards the necklace around Colin's neck.

"My mother is fine...thank you for your concern."

Colin answered naturally, but seemed a little awkward. No, it should be said that he felt uncomfortable, too uncomfortable, because they were not familiar with each other at all.

"I heard that Shadow Hunters are rampant recently. Some people have seen them near the Morbin Lake District. Is that true?"

Lili Marlene seemed to have made a huge turn and asked Colin, as if she was speaking more truthfully about the matter: "I hope it's not like that..."

"Shadow Hunter... What Shadow Hunter?" Colin looked confused.

She had never known what a Shadow Hunter was. On the honor of the Colic family, no one had ever told her about such a thing.

This is of course, as she has been spoiled since childhood and protected in the manor, there will naturally be no threats or... information supply to her.

"No, I mean, the Shadow Hunters showed up at Lake Morbin? Really?"

Now, Colin certainly understood what the Shadow Hunter was. As a time traveler, she should naturally know that.

A notorious organization! This terrible evil organization that burns, kills, and robs people is active in the Principality. It can be said that it is a nightmare that the Principality can never get rid of.

The Morebin Lake area is exactly where the Corich Manor is located!

Do not!
Although this news has not been confirmed, but! How can it appear there!

Wherever the Shadow Hunter appears, there will be no peace...

No……

In the "time and space" of the tragic life that caused great pain, did anyone remind me of the existence of the Shadow Hunter? Was there? Was it Sister Lili Marlene?

Is there? There must be... Shadow Hunter...

Maybe it was the damned Shadowhunters! Were they the ones who caused the tragedy in his life? !

The hatred flowing from her chest was reflected on Colin's face. She gnashed her teeth, and she had to gnash her teeth, because she could foresee that her father would be killed by the Shadow Hunter in the near future...

The Corridge family fell into decline from then on... bringing her, the eldest daughter of the Corridge family, into a miserable life!
No!
Although in her "previous life", she could do nothing! She didn't even know or care about the news of the Shadow Hunter! But now she can definitely do something!
"It seems to be true..." Lili Marlene saw Colin's hatred and comforted him, "Before the Ministry of Internal Affairs goes to investigate, Miss Colridge should pay more attention to safety."

"So when the family got together, in addition to discussing matters concerning the Dragon Conference, they also had to deal with this headache."

Lili Marlene seemed to be muttering to herself, and she spoke very quietly. To her, Colin was still just a child, and her expectations for a child were perhaps even smaller. After all, Colin was still too young, and was notoriously willful, so she naturally sighed.

"Hmm..." Colin pinched the handle of the soup spoon, took a big sip of the soup, and gulped it down.

She had to wait for the meeting to be over and for her parents to come home, so she could only sit here...

Just sit there and wait for death?
Of course not! She is no longer a little girl! The willful, indecisive and courageous her has long disappeared!

Sitting there and waiting for death is not her character right now!

She stood up and said goodbye to Lili Marlene who wanted to say something, but Lili Marlene stopped talking and watched her leave.

Colin quickly glanced around... As if on impulse, she suddenly wanted to rush to the Morbin Lake area, to the vicinity of Korich's manor, and defeat those shadow hunters...

This is really a crazy idea.

How could she be so worthy of such a reward? How could she be able to do all this?

She suddenly stopped, angry and miserable. Perhaps it was because of the Shadow Hunter that she had to bear this fate!
How many people are living on the streets because of various accidents? How many people learn to cherish only after losing something? Or how many people suddenly feel helpless when facing an accident...

A calm face suddenly flashed across her mind.

The face looked like someone from the Empire, with long blond and white hair. He looked at her calmly with black eyes...

A glance that lasts for a thousand years, burning with blazing light!

"what……"

She felt a sharp pain in her head, which made her lose her voice. She grabbed her head and had to hold on to the stairs.

A name!
long……

long……

She raised her head suddenly and almost stepped back in fright. In front of her eyes, there was a scarlet and sticky scene like a sea of ​​blood and corpses. Her hair mixed in the blood and mud were intertwined together like shackles, tugging at her white bones with a creaking sound.

She took a step back and saw her hands, which were no longer tender but looked like dry bones. She took another step back in horror. A huge and bulging bubble rose in the pool of vermilion and sticky blood and exploded in an instant!
She was blown to pieces, bloody and unrecognizable!

Like a moth drawn to a flame, her bulging pupils were filled with a deep, dark red light.

long……

"Ah--" Colin fell down the stairs and became the ultimate focus of the party in the second half of the party.

She fainted in her father's arms. She could feel the urgency of her father's embrace and his eagerness in calling for a doctor.

Colin Corridge...

My name is...

Colin actually felt that maybe his name wasn't Colin Corridge anymore...

As she fell into a deep sleep, an ancient saying that she had repeated hundreds of times came to her in response to the ancient call...

That is not a name that can be called out by a human throat...

Colin's throat and vocal cords continued to tremble in his coma, calling out softly...

Jia'ke'suo'la, ke{keng}hong……
