Putting down the phone, she remained silent for a while before sighing, "Then... let's just do it for Seele and give it a try."

From Bronya's own point of view, she didn't care much about whether she could contact Natsukawa Tora, because when he was away, Bronya had lived like this before, and now she was just going back to the way she was before.

However, since Seele wants to talk to Natsukawa Tora, then Bronya, as her older sister, naturally has to do her best to satisfy her.

(Bronya remembers that Sister Xiaomo said it was...)

Recalling the method that Mordred told her during the day, Bronya gently closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and focused her spirit bit by bit.

This was not a difficult task for Bronya, because every Valkyrie had been trained to control her mental state so that she could enter combat state anytime and anywhere and maximize her combat effectiveness. Now it was just a matter of slightly changing the purpose.

(Concentrate, calm down, and call your brother's name seriously and sincerely...)

According to Mordred, Bronya gradually adjusted her spirit and soon entered a state of meditation.

And at the moment of entering this state——

(Eh?)

As if sinking into the ocean, or as if flying into the clouds, Bronya suddenly felt her body... no, it was her consciousness, which became extremely light and comfortable, as if she had entered a whole new world.

Everything in my eyes gradually changed.

The vision that should have been pitch black when eyes were closed was gradually transformed into a deep blue world.

White clouds are floating above my head.

The surface of the lake beneath my feet was spreading with ripples.

In the distance, the sky and the lake seem to be connected together, and the end of the sky and the horizon merge into one, indistinguishable from each other.

(here it is......)

Standing in the center of the lake, Bronya felt the world she was in with some astonishment.

(......where?)

35. Millennium City under the Moonlight

Bronya had meditated before, but she had never experienced a situation like this before.

After all, meditation in the past really just involved closing your eyes, not like this...

"Whoo~~~~"

A breeze, not too strong, blew from somewhere, causing ripples on the surface of the lake, and the clouds in the sky also floated and drifted with it.

Bronya tried to take a step forward.

"Ding~~~"

The crisp sound of water drops falling to the ground sounded quietly.

The originally calm lake surface disappeared in an instant, and before Bronya could think of anything, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, directly from the clear sky and lake to an extremely dark space. Bronya almost instantly felt that her breathing became very difficult, and the surroundings were filled with waves of oppression.

next moment--

“Gah~~~~!”

The cry of crows broke the darkness, and a bright red light suddenly descended from the sky, illuminating the scene in Bronya's eyes.

"......city?"

Bronya couldn't help but feel puzzled as she looked at what was coming into her field of vision.

It was a city, a castle located not far in front of her, surrounded by mountains. At first glance, it looked like a castle in a horror movie, and right above the castle, a red moon was quietly suspended in the sky.

However, what was incredible was that the moment Bronya looked at the red moon, the extremely bright red moon suddenly turned into a cold and bright full moon.

The moonlight, which was slightly cold but not turbid, gave people a sense of purity and cleanliness. It turned into streaks of light and hung down, covering the entire castle in the moonlight, as if covering the castle with a layer of light moonlight curtain.

[The Royal City under the Full Moon]

Bronya had a sense of déjà vu for no apparent reason.

(Hmm? Royal City?)

Suddenly, Bronya paused.

(Why does Bronya think this is a royal city?)

There should be other explanations, and more importantly... why did she come here? Where is this place? What are the sky and the lake that were connected at the end?

Is she...is she really still meditating?

You are finally here

At this moment, a green fallen leaf seemed to be riding on the wind and slowly floated in front of Bronya.

Bronya subconsciously reached out to catch the fallen leaf, and at the moment of catching it, Bronya suddenly found a vague figure of a man with his eyes slightly closed appearing in front of her.

(who?)

[First meeting, the girl who made a contract with the gods]

While Bronya was questioning, the man had already spoken. His gentle and kind voice, like a warm spring breeze, directly penetrated into the depths of Bronya's soul.

[I'm sorry to meet you so suddenly. I'm Su, and I'm someone who has been observing the world you live in.]

Someone who observes the world?

Bronya frowned in confusion: "...Bronya doesn't know you, did you come here specifically to find Bronya?"

[Yes. Of course, to be more precise, I have actually been looking for the alien god who made a contract with you.]

The man named Su explained.

[However, maybe he is too far away from me, or maybe he has set up a mental barrier that is too strong. No matter what method I use, I cannot get in touch with him. So now I can only use the power of you, the contractor, to try to communicate with him.]

"...You want to contact your brother? Why?"

[On the one hand, I was entrusted by someone, and on the other hand... it was to better fight against the collapse. I know that my words cannot gain your trust, Miss Bronya Zaychek, but please believe that I have no ill will towards you or that god. ]

[As a token of sincerity, I think I can guide you here]

"Do you know where this is?"

[Yes. This is the realm of consciousness, or it can be said that this is a dream world that belongs to everyone and will never dissipate.]

Su explained.

[Generally speaking, ordinary people who want to enter this realm either have to go through a long period of practice or through some special means - and Miss Bronya, you should be the latter.]

[Because you are the contractor of that god, you have received the blessing and protection of that god to a certain extent, and even have a certain degree of authority to connect with his consciousness.]

[For example, it's like a river flowing into the sea.]

Different people have different consciousness fields, and what determines the scale, size, and nature of the consciousness field is the strength of each person's spirit and soul. Compared with Xiachuanhu's consciousness, Bronya's consciousness is as small as a trickle, so the moment Bronya's consciousness came into contact with his consciousness field, it was enveloped by Xiachuanhu's consciousness.

Bronya pondered for a moment: "So... Bronya is now in her brother's... dream?"

[You can say that]

"Then...where is my brother?"

[I think the god should be in that castle? ]

After Su said this, Bronya immediately looked towards the royal city bathed in moonlight not far away.

Is Xia Chuanhu in that royal city now?

[Before I came here, I learned something from an old friend who had a connection with the gods. If I am not mistaken, then the castle in front of me should be called Millennium City.]

[It is said that this was the place where a True Ancestor Princess named Elquit lived in the past. Now it is forever in the dream of that god. It can be said to be a fantasy city that exists in fantasy.]

Millennium City.

Bronya looked at the royal city not far away, and then subconsciously... or involuntarily, she took a step and slowly ran towards the direction of the Millennium City.

[Are you going to find that god? ]

Sue's voice came into his mind again.

"Well, Bronya came here to find her brother. Her brother hasn't contacted us for a while, and Seele wants to see her brother, so Bronya wants to get in touch with her brother again."

Bronya said as she ran.

And very quickly, perhaps because the distance between her and the Millennium City was not that far? Or because this was a dream? Anyway, when Bronya realized it, the Millennium City had already arrived in front of her, and she didn't know when she was standing beside the moat outside the Millennium City.

However, Bronya just stood there in a daze.

"No...door?"

There is no gate on the thousand-year-old city that should be facing the moat.

This doesn't mean that the city gates are closed, but that there are no doors or windows on the entire wall.

Standing before Bronya was a completely sealed wall that prevented even a wisp of wind from getting in.

36. Communicate what you want to say

"Huh...huh..."

After a while, on a grassy slope next to the Millennium City.

Bronya sat down panting, supporting her upper body with both hands. "I can't find a door or window. This is totally unreasonable."

【Nothing unreasonable】

Su's voice echoed among the falling leaves.

[From our human perspective, a castle should be built brick by brick. Doors and windows, these passages that connect to the outside world, may have been built just for people to enter and exit at the beginning.]

[But there is no such need for this thousand-year-old city]

"......What's the meaning?"

[Because the people in the Millennium City do not need to have contact with the outside world, it can even be said that it would be best if they could be completely isolated from the world - this is what I heard from the old friend of the god.]

[The Millennium City is a prison in itself]

Cage?

The unexpected statement made Bronya frown deeply.

You actually said this magnificent royal city was a cage? If that was the case, then wouldn't Xia Chuanhu, who was now inside it, be... a prisoner?

"How can there be such a statement?"

[I just heard this from other people.]

[It is said that in the distant past, the Millennium City was not a cage, but a castle where the True Ancestors lived. However, from a certain point in time, as the True Ancestors were all killed, the Millennium City became a cage to imprison the last True Ancestor. And from that time on, the Millennium City became an isolated city that no one could enter or leave.]

"So... someone transformed Millennium City?"

[It can be said that the person who transformed the Millennium Castle was the imprisoned final True Ancestor.]

"Eh?"

This is another statement that is deeply surprising.

The imprisoned people turned their own homes into cages to imprison themselves?

[Did I say this just now? The construction methods we know are unnecessary for the Millennium City, because this Millennium City is not a real castle, but an imaginary city created by imagination.]

The Millennium City...was just a figment of my imagination?

Bronya suddenly remembered what Xiachuan Hu had said to her during a previous conversation.

......

[Hmm? Ask me how I can help you? Let me think about it...]

[It’s definitely not possible to attack directly. Even if Kongxiang materializes, it can only affect the world I’m in now…]

「I think the most I can do is to use magic to influence you based on the connection between you and me.」

......

Because Bronya had only asked casually at the time, she was not very clear about what Xiachuan Hu said, but at this moment she could inexplicably recall clearly the matter about the materialization of fantasies.

In Xiachuanhu's own words, it seemed to be a power that could "rewrite the world."

(Is this entire thousand-year-old city actually the product of fantasy materialization?)
