"Leah must be having a nightmare right now."
Lamia looked through the window at Leah, who was lying on the bed with a look of pain on her face, and spoke softly.
Ever since that day when Elina used the magic of dawn to sort out Leah's thoughts, she hasn't had a nightmare for a long time.
"It seems that today's battle has indeed brought back painful memories for Leia. This child has once again fallen into the nostalgia and guilt for her parents."
Elina sighed, but this time she didn't go in to help Leah out of the nightmare.
Because Elina knew that Leah had nightmares due to external factors, and her help could be effective.
But this time, it was the shadow in Leia's own heart. If this shadow was not completely eliminated, even if it was suppressed this time, it would only be more tragic when it erupted later. And Elena could not stay by Leia's side all the time.
Just then, Lamia's small voice came from beside Elina.
"Elina, are parents really important to you, to you humans?"
Lamia lay on the windowsill, looking at Leah who was sleeping inside, and asked a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
“Parents…”
Elina was an orphan in this life, but when he thought of the time on Earth that made him leave his longing and get closer to his annoying parents, he couldn't help but smile and answered decisively.
"Yes, it is very important. It is one of the most important things in our lives."
Hearing Elina's decisive and firm answer, Lamia looked at her in a daze for a moment, then turned around, lay on the windowsill, looked at the blue sky above her head, and her voice sounded a little melancholy.
"Sometimes, I envy you humans. You have parents and people you cherish and miss, but we Dragons have nothing."
After hearing Lamia's words, Elina remained silent. This was the first time that Lamia took the initiative to tell her about Dragon in all the days they had been together. For all this, she only needed to be a good listener.
“We Dragons will be abandoned by our parents soon after we hatch from the eggs. All our knowledge will continue to appear in our memory palace as we grow older, and all our abilities will slowly emerge on their own. We have no parents to raise us, and we don’t need them to raise us. We are hated by all races and are destined to be lonely from birth, so... I don’t understand your feelings, and I can’t resonate with you humans..."
Lamia's voice became lower and lower. Not long after she was born, she was mistakenly trapped in the seal. A thousand years of loneliness did not make Lamia collapse. One of the important reasons for this was that Dragons had no heart and they had almost no emotions.
But after seeing Leia today, she suddenly felt that human emotions might not be bad.
"Elina, I suddenly want to possess your human hearts and emotions. This may bring different changes to my life. Unfortunately..."
"Lamia."
Lamia was interrupted by Elina before she could finish her words. Elina took off her mask, and the long-lost cute face appeared in front of Lamia.
"You now have human emotions."
"Me? Already have it?"
After hearing what Elina said, Lamia pointed at herself somewhat bewilderedly, then touched the small dragon horn on her head in confusion.
"Yeah, it's friendship. Aren't we partners?"
Elina's matter-of-fact words made Lamia stunned for a moment, and then a small blush appeared on her crystal clear face.
“Aaaaah! What are you talking about! Friendship... friendship? I... I am the noble Dragon. I am just using a human like you temporarily. What kind of partner? Dream on! Humph!”
After saying that, Lamia hit Elina hard with her dragon horn, giving her a dragon chariot. Then she flew up and fell headfirst into Elina's pocket. She decided to ignore this guy for one day, no, two days!
Lamia hid in Elina's pocket and covered her whole body with her little tail and wings.
A smile appeared on her face that she herself was not aware of, and she spoke softly.
"Friendship... seems pretty good."
"Lamia?"
Seeing Lamia rushing into her pocket quickly, Elina shouted in surprise.
"I'm tired! Don't call me! I want to rest!"
Lamia's muffled voice replied from within his pocket.
Hearing this, Elina smiled and shook her head.
How can I put it, this guy is worthy of being called a golden retriever!
After that, Elina turned her attention to Leah, who was lying on the bed with a look of pain on her face.
This child, is there any problem?
Elina was a little worried in her heart. The state of mind is very important for a person's practice. In the history of the human race, there are many people who are very talented but in the end they are unable to break through because of the problem of their state of mind.
If Leia doesn't untie the knot in her heart, her future practice will inevitably be affected. However, no one else can help her untie this knot. Only when Leia herself truly lets go of everything in her heart and feels truly relieved can she completely solve this problem.
However, the death of parents is not so easy to resolve.
"Come on, Leah."
All Elina can do now is to silently cheer for Leah, she can't do anything else.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was night. All the villagers came back from outside in groups of three or two, and the soldiers in training also finished their training and prepared to have dinner. After eating, they went back to rest and wait for the arrival of the next day.
During dinner, Alina went to see Leah, but when she found that Leah had no intention of getting up, she did not wake her up.
But when it was late at night, Elina was worried and went to check on Leah, only to find that there was no one on Leah's bed.
"Awake? Where are you going at this hour?"
Alina hurried out to look for it.
I have to say that summer nights are really beautiful. The bright stars and the quiet evening breeze give people a relaxed and happy feeling. In addition, Yas Village is surrounded by a wide and flat grassland, which makes people feel that they can pick the stars with their hands.
On a night like this, Leia sat on a high slope, staring blankly at the starry sky above her head.
The bright starry sky inevitably brought her thoughts back to the past. In her vague memory, she once remembered that her father seemed to like to do most, which was to point out the stars in the sky with her mother on summer nights and tell her the stories and legends about them one by one.
The legends told by her father were so moving that Leia would always be immersed in them involuntarily. In those legends, she felt like she was traveling in the starry sky, free and carefree.
But now she is the only one who can come out and appreciate the starry sky again.
"so high."
Leia stretched out her hand as if trying to grasp the stars in the sky, and whispered softly.
"So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.
Chapter 71: Go forward boldly
"Teacher Elina? Why are you here?"
Looking at the familiar figure, Leia was a little surprised.
"I woke up at night to check on you and found that you were not in the room. I was a little worried, so I came out to look for you."
Elina sat next to Leah and said with a smile.
The summer night breeze blew across their cheeks, and the evening breeze with the smell of grass made their minds refreshed.
"Sorry for making you worry."
Leia lowered her head, feeling a little apologetic. She didn't expect that her momentary impulse would make Elena so worried.
"It's okay. You are my first student. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?"
Elina said with a smile, then raised her head and looked at the deep and brilliant starry sky in the sky, and continued.
"Why, stargazing?"
"Well, after I woke up, I felt a little depressed, so I went out for a walk. Then I saw that the night sky was nice, so I sat down to take a look. I didn't expect that it would be so late."
Leia nodded gently. After she woke up, the smiling faces of her parents and the demon who died under her control kept appearing in front of her.
That's why I came out to relax.
"Seeing that you like the starry sky so much, I guess your family must have told you a lot of legends about the starry sky."
Elina lay down directly, facing the starry sky. She had never noticed it before, but she didn't expect the night sky here to be so beautiful. It was much better than the seriously polluted Earth.
"When I was little, my father's favorite thing to do was to tell me all kinds of stories about the stars. At that time, he would put me on his neck and point at the stars one by one and tell me about them. Although I can't remember many of them now, I will remember that comfortable feeling for the rest of my life."
Leia looked up at the sky, her voice a little dreamy, as if she was completely immersed in memories of the past.
In Leah's memory, summer is always the most beautiful season because that is where her loved ones are and where she lives the most comfortable life.
"The starry sky."
Looking at those twinkling stars, even Elina felt a little fascinated. Maybe the Earth exists among these stars in the sky.
“It would be great if we could go back to the past.”
The starry sky was reflected in Leia's pupils, so brilliant, and the starlight in the sky was also scattered on Leia's body, giving her a layer of silver glow, which made Leia look mysterious.
Looking at the exceptionally beautiful Leah sitting next to her, Elina knew that at this moment Leah was completely trapped in the memories of the past.
The death of the demon made her think of her parents involuntarily. If she didn't do something now, the child would definitely fall deeper and deeper.
"Leah, I like the future more than the past."
Just as Leah was immersed in her memories, Elena's voice sounded in Leah's ears.
"future?"
Leah tilted her head, looking at Elena who was lying comfortably on the ground, feeling a little confused.
"Yes, it's the future. There are certainly many nostalgic memories in the past, but looking forward, there will be more beautiful scenery in the future. I don't know what kind of people I will meet, what kind of things I will encounter, and what kind of unforgettable scenery I will see. That's why I am fascinated by it. Just like my meeting with you, a month ago, neither of us knew that we would have intersections, or even become teacher and student, but a month later this happened. I am happy to meet you, and you are the same, aren't you? In fact, the unknown is the most exciting thing in life."
Elina looked at the stars in the sky and stretched out her hands, as if the future was in front of her.
"So, Leah, for your future, for Hill's future, and for the future of the entire Yas Village, you must move forward boldly, see the scenery you have never seen before, meet more people, experience more things, and create a bright and glorious future."
"I think your parents must have the same idea. They risked their lives to save you, not to let you dwell on the past, but to give you and Hill a better future."
"Teacher Elina..."
After hearing what Elina said, Leah looked at Elina wearing a mask and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.
"how?"
"I am also happy to meet you."
Leia nodded firmly. Seeing Leia being a little silly, Elena burst out laughing.
"Speaking of which, Leah, do you want to get closer, closer to this starry sky?"
As she spoke, Alina stood up and held out her hand to Leah.
Recalling the tragic experience of the previous flight and looking at Elina under the starry sky, Leah finally plucked up the courage and handed her hand to Elina.
"let's go."
After saying that, Alina took Leah's hand and slowly rose into the air.
It was also at this moment of taking off that Leia closed her eyes involuntarily and shrank her whole body into Elena's arms. It was unknown how much time had passed before she heard Elena's soft voice in her ears.
"Leah, it's okay, open your eyes."
After hearing Elena's words, the feeling of losing control completely disappeared. Under this circumstance, Leah opened her eyes cautiously in Elena's arms.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the sky full of stars.
The entire continent seemed so small beneath her feet, and she seemed to see the early sun about to rise on the distant horizon.
The golden morning sun and the silver starlight seemed to divide the world into two. This scene, which was difficult to describe in words, was something Leia had never seen before, and it made her remember it for the rest of her life.
"How about it? It's spectacular, isn't it? If you hadn't worked hard to get here, how would you be able to see such a magnificent view?"
As she spoke, Elina cast a [Levitation Technique] on Leah, and then slowly released her hand.
After all, Leia was extremely talented. In just a few minutes, she was able to completely control her flight.
"Wuhu!"
Leia controlled herself and flew freely in the starry sky. At that moment, she seemed to have returned to that summer, the summer when her father carried her around and chased the stars.
Leia's bell-like laughter echoed under the starry sky. At this moment, she was free.
Yes, Teacher Elina was right. I shouldn’t always dwell on the sadness of the past. I should move on and look forward. If I hadn’t lived to this day, how could I have met Teacher Elina and how could I have seen such a beautiful scenery.
Looking at the unrestrained and completely self-releasing Leah, Elina crossed her arms, suspended in the air, and nodded with some relief.
She knew that doing so would not completely resolve the knot in Leia's heart, but she believed that after tonight, Leia would be able to resolve the knot one day, and all she needed next was an opportunity.
"It seems you have solved a big problem for your students."
Lamia, who was ready to ignore Elina at this moment, poked her head out.
