"Oh~"

Kerong showed an expression of being touched.

"Wow~"

Tiat's eyes sparkled.

"..."

Laqixu opened her mouth in a daze.

The little ones in the fairy warehouse, who are always lively and energetic, rarely showed their own different expressions of emotion, and watched the plot quietly and absorbedly.

"..."

Abigail, who was accompanying him, watched the whole process with an emotionless expression on her face.

Abigail had some basic knowledge and knew that it was a movie similar to a love story. If we only talk about the plot, it can be said to be the most clichéd one. Well, it was the template of the folk tales that Abigail had heard in Salem before.

But Abigail couldn't understand more deeply, or rather, couldn't empathize.

For love stories, you basically have to find a character to invest your emotions in, just like Abigail would mostly put herself in the shoes of the heroine or supporting actress; if she can't, then at least there are handsome men and beautiful women that everyone likes to see so that you can enjoy the show.

But it would be too much of a stretch for Abigail to watch a film in which all the characters are reptilians.

Maybe Sister Xueyue or Miss Tavel are knowledgeable and can see some meaning. For Abigail, she can only finish watching this kind of movie by treating it as a program for observing animal ecology, such as "Animal World" (Xueyue told Abigail).

But Abigail was just accompanying the little ones to watch, so as long as they were happy, that was enough.

The thing that plays this film, which is a bit like a "movie" in human society, is a "recording crystal". It is a special quartz that can capture the surrounding scenes and record them. The accuracy and total amount of images that can be taken will vary depending on the type and accuracy of the polishing method, as well as the purity and size of the crystal itself.

If the direction and wavelength of the crystal are matched and light is projected, the recorded scene can be projected to the outside world; of course, the angle can be fine-tuned to select different videos for projection. With this technology, a series of recorded scenes can be broadcast vividly. Since the required equipment is not too expensive, even a small town's image crystal hall can be set up with medium-sized or smaller crystals.

Although the implementation method is slightly different from what Abigail knows, the effect presented is somewhat similar, and this kind of video recording culture is becoming popular among the floating continents.

Even if you don't go to the theater in a large town, you can watch the play you want to watch by visiting the Image Crystal Hall in a small town, although there is no sound and the image is not clear enough. But even so, there is still a big difference between "no" and "yes", which has played a big role in promoting the cultural popularization of the floating continent group's creation of stories.

Logically speaking, this kind of knowledge has nothing to do with the tasks Abigail needs to do, but Abigail still tries to learn about it. Because as Xueyue said, "If you want to improve the world, you must first understand the world." To understand, you must collect all relevant information, including diet, clothing, culture, social system, etc. Only when you know enough can you make the right choice when the time comes - make a correction, a decision that you will not regret.

“How wonderful~!”

Tiat exclaimed with a sparkle in her eyes.

"So mature~!"

Ke Rong agreed, but it was obvious that she herself didn't understand the meaning of her somewhat confusing comment.

"uh-huh!"

Pan Libao, breathing rapidly, straightened her shoulders.

“I want to be like that in the future…”

Laqixu looked into the distance in ecstasy.

After the video ended, Abigail led the four little ones out of the Image Crystal Hall. It was obvious that they were still immersed in the previous video.

It had not been long since the four little ones were born as fairies. In appearance, body, and mind, they were all children under ten years old, so if they wanted to enter the Image Crystal Pavilion, they would be required to be accompanied by a guardian.

This is why Abigail is here with these four little ones. Sister Xueyue is out, and Miss Nigolan, who is the most adult, also has warehouse affairs to deal with, so the responsibility of [guardian] naturally falls on Abigail.

However, to be honest, Abigail only looks like a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. From a normal person's perspective, she is still quite far from being an adult who can represent the position of guardian. However, Abigail does have a dignified temperament in the military uniform she is issued. In addition, she has a military certificate (although it doesn't seem formal), which makes the staff of the Image Crystal Hall believe in Abigail's identity as a guardian. In short, this is the situation.

For many adults, noisy children are a bit troublesome, but for Abigail, who has a completely opposite personality to noisy ones, noisy little ones are not very annoying, but...

(Sister Xue has been gone for a while. What is she doing now?)

Abigail looked at the sky, thinking unconsciously.

"Sister Abi, are you worried about the administrators and seniors~"

I have to say that children are really keen on observing emotions.

"I just thought about it a little bit. As for worrying... Sister Xue is super strong, there's no need to worry~"

Abigail smiled and stroked the little ones' heads.

Chapter 209: Corina Dierchi City

At night, Thyate had a dream.

She was somewhere she shouldn't have been, saw something she shouldn't have seen, and talked to someone she shouldn't have met.

Just listening to her own narration, it didn't seem too strange, because dreams are mostly like this, with recollections of actual experiences and also dreams of complete lack of impression and fragmented phantoms.

For humans, dreams that seem like "precognitive dreams" seem to be a different matter for fairies.

The moment they wake up, they seem to realize that this is a special dream. Even though there is warmth and fear, joy and sadness, it is fundamentally different from ordinary dreams that will not leave any trace after waking up in reality.

They don't need any reason or logic, they just know that it is a sign.

-------------------------------------

"It's a little far, but I have a place I'd like you to go to."

Miss Nigolan asked her to do this with a smile, but there was nothing she could do. With no one else to be dispatched, Abigail was the only one who could take on this task.

only……

"Although I know it's a bit far, but isn't this distance a bit..."

After several transfers on the airship, Abigail spent almost a whole day swaying in the sky with the wind. She rested her head on the table, looking like a wilted kohlrabi.

In sharp contrast to Abigail, who has been tortured to the point of being "half dead", is the green-haired Tiat, who still maintains great energy and looks out through the porthole of the airship.

"Wow, we're almost there, Sister Abby."

Abigail heard the little one's happy voice and forced herself to smile:

"What happened, Tiate?"

"Sister Abby, look, we are almost there, the city of Corinadilchi."

Abigail looked out of the porthole following Tiat's excited finger, and sure enough, a floating island that looked quite large with vaguely visible complex buildings on it was right in front of her.

-------------------------------------

Floating Island No. 11, Corinadilchi City.

As soon as she set foot on this land, Abigail felt a rare sense of security. It felt really good to step on solid ground again.

Well, although this is a floating island suspended in the sky and not a continent in the strict sense, it is at least much more comfortable than a swaying airship.

Then, Abigail followed the wind and smelled an indescribable scent. Perhaps, it was the scent of "history"?

If I were to describe it in a little more detail, it would probably be like the smell of stones or red bricks that have been tested by history, and the scent of the long-standing existence of this area brought by the wind.

You don't need to look too far, there is a trading square next to the harbor area. It seemed that the regular market was held that day, and some old canvas tents were neatly arranged in rows.

The races of the pedestrians on the street were diverse, with no obvious difference in numbers. There were also some [unmarked species] like Abigail and Tiat, but they did not deliberately cover up their appearance with clothes like windbreakers or hats. It was obvious that this floating island was not very averse to [unmarked species].

"Oh~"

Abigail couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This place is a little older and more prosperous than it looks in the photo album~"

According to the information Abigail had learned, this city had a history of more than 400 years, and was one of the oldest cities in the floating continents. During such a long period of time, it had neither been burned down in the flames of war nor attacked by invaders from the earth - [beasts]. It was a rare city that was built up by time and luck.

It is also important to note that this place is located in the sky, which means that building materials are limited. Especially on a floating island, cutting stone is equivalent to directly cutting off the land on which one lives. Therefore, stone has naturally become a relatively expensive building material on a floating island. At the same time, considering the consumption issue, the stone used to build the streets is naturally more than what can be seen from the outside.

Therefore, unlike the ancient cities in other worlds, although the city in front of us does not look outstanding, in the context of this world, it is indeed one of the few metropolises and the leading historical ancient capital.

"Wow--"

Of course, there were people who were more excited than Abigail. On the ramp of the airship, Tiat's eyes were shining, and she stood there blankly.

She opened her mouth in amazement, her expression a mixture of joy, astonishment and awe. Although she didn't move, her heart had already flown away.

"Hey, Tiat, it's time to come down~!"

Abigail waved to Tiat who was still on the gangway and shouted a warning.

Tiate regained consciousness. She rushed down the gangway excitedly, took Abigail's hand, and began to speak impatiently:

"This is really the Floating Island No. 11, the real Corinnadilchi City! A city full of history! A jewel box of blue sky! A potpourri of romance and legend! Many masterpieces are set here!"

Tiat said this loudly, stomping on the spot to express her excitement.

Abigail could understand why Tiat was so excited. Just like Sister Xueyue had told her, when fans actually arrived at the filming location of a favorite work, it was called a "pilgrimage" and it was normal to have some natural excitement and piety. For Tiat, this city was the stage of her favorite work, and she had basically never left Island No. 68, so it was normal for Tiat to be so happy.

Perhaps it was because the noise was too loud, Abigail could clearly feel the eyes around her gathering around her. However, those eyes were not of exclusion or hostility. Instead, they were looks that expressed love and care for a warm family. Abigail and Tiat should have been mistaken for sisters who had come to the big city for the first time from a floating island in the countryside.

However, this idea cannot be said to be wrong. After all, Abigail has indeed played the role of "sister" in front of those little ones these days.

Chapter 210: The Turmoil in the Dark

"Well, I want to go over and see that!"

Tiat excitedly grabbed Abigail's hand and ran in one direction. Perhaps in order to appease Tiat's mood a little, she let her pull her hand and follow her.

"Be careful, watch the road~!"

Abigail still had to remind Tiat to pay attention to the front, as it would not be good to bump into others on the noisy streets.

The first place Tiat went to was the large square in the center of the city, which had a wide area, a fountain, and a striking statue.

"Look, that's the statue of the Great Sage in the Falcita Memorial Square!"

Abigail looked in the direction of Tiate's finger. No, strictly speaking, anyone who arrived at the square for the first time would not ignore such an eye-catching statue.

It was a several-meter-tall statue of an old man with a sturdy face and a hood, standing in the center of the fountain.

Abigail was not particular about works of art, so she naturally had no way of telling the quality of the statue.

"Is there anything special about this?"

"That's a statue of the man who founded this city a long time ago. It's also a must-go place for couples to meet, because it has been the stage for many stories!"

(The person who built this city a long time ago, it seems necessary to collect relevant information...)

Abigail thought so.

Of course, Tiate didn't know what Abigail was thinking, so she just continued to talk:

“In the last scene of The Stars and the Wind of Corinnadir, Rusty Nose was eating fried potatoes here!”

Apparently, Tiate was not interested in the artistic value of the statue, or rather, it would have surprised Abigail if she had any artistic appreciation for a statue.

"There is a popular saying that if two people who are in love swear to love each other forever in front of the statue, they will be able to have five years of happiness..."

(It sounds a bit unreliable in various aspects...)

Abigail complained silently in her heart,

(Generally speaking, making a wish is a wish anyway, so why not just be bold and say forever? And they specifically limit it to five years. Will something happen to those couples in the sixth year? And according to Sister Xueyue, the Seven-Year Itch also lasts for seven years. Five years is a bit too short of the mark in some ways...)

In this square, people were bustling about, and gray autonomous puppets that looked like stone piles with hands and feet were running around transporting wooden boxes.

Abigail took a step back to make way for them, fearing that she would block their path. The self-disciplined doll simply bowed and said "thank you" before continuing to run away. Even the self-disciplined dolls are designed to be so friendly and polite. A city that thrives on tourism and trade is indeed unique.

"Yeah, Tiate, that's good!"

Tiathe suddenly encouraged herself.

"Don't forget why you came here. You want to become a fairy soldier as outstanding as Senior Chtholly!"

(It turns out that this little guy can realize what he needs to do on his own.)

Abigail was slightly surprised.

However, just one second later...

“Waaaaa——!”

Tiat seemed to have seen something that interested her very much, and her eyes sparkled.

(Well... As expected of a child...)

Abigail found it somewhat amusing to see Tiat's conflicted expression as she thought about her "mission" while unable to suppress her curiosity.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that my appointment at the sanatorium is still a while away, and it's on my way there, so it's okay to take a walk for a while~"
