Two similar flowers are not the same flower. Luo Ya is very clear about this. If he has the chance in the future, he really wants to go to Dayan to have a look. Of course, it is impossible to bring Abrana, Tallulah and others with him because their identities make it inconvenient for them to go anywhere.
And according to Kasheina, Luo Ya also has acquaintances in Dayan, which means he has been active there before. Judging from the time, it should be a thousand years ago. There should not be many people in Dayan who can live for more than a thousand years.
"Can't find it?"
Viviana subconsciously thought of Agor. That country is not on land and is blocked from the outside world, so there is no way to enter. But I heard that there are only Agor people there. Roya is clearly a mutant Vaifan.
No matter what Viviana was thinking, Luo Ya subconsciously held his hand. He really wanted to go back.
"I can't find it. I probably can't go back."
"It seems your hometown is a very beautiful place."
This statement almost made Luo Ya laugh, but fortunately he forced himself to keep the corners of his mouth in an arc.
"No, Ms. Viviana, you guessed wrong. My hometown is definitely not a good place, at least in my impression. If you have seen the slums of Casimir, you can use the environment there as a reference. I grew up in that environment."
After so many years in prison and traveling here for so many years, being away from his hometown did not make Luo Ya have any subconscious beautification of that place in his heart. On the contrary, it only made his impression of that place more and more clear and more disgusting.
But he still wanted to go back. There were always some people he wanted to meet, some things he wanted to do, and some things he couldn't let go of that he wanted to take back. This is the so-called hometown.
Has Viviana seen slums? Of course she has. She has seen those women who are dressed in fancy clothes and can only survive by selling their bodies, those children who don't even know who their parents are but know how to steal since they were young, those who died of freezing, starvation, and those who are feared by others because of mineral sickness. If he lived in that kind of environment, it would be a miracle for Roya to become the person he is today. How much did he go through to become what he is now?
Just as Viviana was thinking this, the red curtain on the stage was slowly pulled open, and Arturo, holding a black and white cello, gradually appeared in front of the two. With a peaceful smile on her face, she bowed to Roya and Viviana to express her gratitude.
There seemed to be something wrong around her. Arturo always felt that there was something different about the audience today. She glanced around the audience and found that there were indeed only three listeners, Viviana and Roya. Three?
Raising her eyes and scanning the audience again, Arturo finally realized that perhaps because the stage lighting was not adjusted properly, she subconsciously ignored Roya's horns and tail when she glanced at him just now. In addition, in her impression, Roya also had these racial characteristics, which made her instinctively think that there were three people present.
Having figured this out, Arturo no longer delayed the performance. She slowly closed her eyes, then placed the bow on the strings of the cello. Melodious yet strong notes came from the cello, and when the sound of the cello reached her ears, Roya couldn't help but raise her brows.
The music seemed to carry a certain power, which Roya could not feel clearly. He was not sure of Arturo's intention, but he could feel that Viviana beside him was affected by this power and fell into the world woven by her inner emotions.
Arturo played to her heart's content. Today, the cello seemed to play more smoothly than any other day. Her musical sense was also exceptionally clear. She was completely immersed in her performance, but then quickly broke free from this state. She knew what kind of impact her ability would have on others, so she needed to control the degree. After all, she only hoped that everyone could understand their innermost thoughts, rather than wanting everyone to be immersed in their own fantasies.
To Arturo's surprise, she wanted to use her music to feel Roya's emotions, but she saw that Roya was unmoved. His fingers were even tapping the armrests intentionally or unintentionally to match her rhythm, as if for Roya this was just a nice song.
But Roya certainly couldn't just listen to the music. Arturo's power could stir people's deepest emotions, and he could feel other people's consciousness. The two powers reached a resonance under such a coincidence, and he could peek into the depths of Viviana's spiritual world just like entering Tallulah's spiritual world.
This was very rude behavior. Luo Ya could only silently apologize for Viviana in his heart. He would definitely apologize in person later, but that had to be after the plan was over. After all, he needed to get to know Viviana in depth so that he could better achieve his goals in the next plan.
As for why Arturo only targeted Viviana and not himself, Roya felt that this might be the intention of the theater's behind-the-scenes sponsor, the man suspected to be Viviana's father?
According to Roya's perception, Viviana was not in much danger at the moment, and Arturo did not have any ill intentions. He simply pretended to know nothing and pretended to be a listener who simply appreciated the music. But apart from Arturo's cello performance, Roya was still listening to Viviana's voice.
It must be said that Arturo was indeed an excellent performer. Her cello playing was at the master level even without any Originium skills. Roya was doing two things at once, and then he listened to Viviana's inner voice. With the help of the cello, he heard a childish voice.
[Mom, can I go over there to play? It’s the Grugaci Botanical Museum. You can see its green roof here. Wow, it’s spring now, and the Uncaria rhynchophylla are blooming. The roof has turned pink. I wonder what it looks like from below.]
A faint ray of light broke through the darkness that had been in Roya for many days. It was the moonlight that pushed aside the night clouds and illuminated the little girl who was lying on the bed in the high tower, pointing expectantly at the botanical garden not far away, and another woman who was 70% similar to her. Judging from her appearance, she looked like the grown-up Viviana, but her horns were more like Alina's.
"No, dear little Vivian, we can't go. That will make it difficult for your father. He has been working so hard... Come on, dear child, let mommy tell you a story."
Facing her mother's open hands, young Viviana's face showed a little loneliness. She glanced at her mother, then put on a smile and threw herself into her arms.
Viviana's mother didn't know whether to feel relieved or sad about her daughter's understanding and obedience. She picked up a new book her husband had brought the day before and gently stroked her daughter's soft golden hair.
"My dear child, today I will tell you something other than poetry. This is Casimir's book. It tells the story of the last knight charging towards the sea..."
The huge room was warmly decorated with exquisite furniture and carpets, and a fireplace was burning, but Luoya could not feel any warmth. He just watched it all, and then looked at Viviana who was also hiding in the corner and watching it all.
Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, anxiety and fear. Theoretically, she could not see Luoya's existence, but Luoya could observe her consciousness, so he simply walked to her side and stood with her, only looking at what she was looking at, and not trying to spy on anything else.
At least there are some secrets belonging to Viviana that Roya will never pry into. This is the courtesy that people should have.
Chapter 165 Viviana's Dream
Ever since Viviana could remember, she had always been trapped on top of that high tower. She had no idea what the world outside the tower looked like and could only get a glimpse of the outside world from the tower.
Her mother always accompanied her gently, reading poems to her and telling her stories of different countries, whether it was Leitania, Victoria or Dayan. She described a whole world to Viviana in the small room. Even though she didn't say anything, she hoped deep in her heart that her daughter would be free in the future.
Young Viviana leaned in her mother's arms, listening to her story about the last knight who raised his spear and rushed into the sea, fighting against the raging waves, with a bright light in his eyes.
"When I grow up, I want to be a knight."
"Then our dear Vivian will definitely become a great knight."
Looking at her younger self and her gentle mother in her memory, Viviana wanted to reach out her hand, but she silently took it back. She sat in the corner with her legs hugged, and the surroundings seemed to become a little dimmer.
This was probably the result of a change in mood. Luo Ya glanced at Viviana and probably guessed what had happened to the girl. Her mother was a very good person, but it was a pity that she couldn't stay with her for long.
Just as Luo Ya was thinking this, Viviana turned her head towards him and then spoke slowly.
"When I was a child, my mother always told me a lot of stories and poems. She didn't want my knowledge of this land to be limited to that tall tower and the roof of the botanical garden that I had never been to..."
Luo Ya was a little embarrassed after being discovered. He thought Viviana couldn't see it. Fortunately, he just sat next to her and did nothing else. He imitated Viviana and sat down with his legs hugged.
"She loves you very much, and so does your father."
"I know they love me and each other very much." Viviana looked at the mother and daughter over there, "It's just that my father has too much to do to protect us."
Everything around him became a little unreal, the warm light gradually dimmed, and it seemed to become a little cold. Luo Ya took a look and found that the warm mother and daughter who were originally sitting on the bed had disappeared, and the fireplace had gone out. Viviana did not indulge in this dream for too long.
"So, that's why you want to become a knight?"
"My mother said that knights would travel far and wide, so when I was a child I thought that if I became a knight I would be able to go to more distant places. But now I can't even go back to my hometown. For so many years... I haven't been able to give her a bouquet of flowers."
Viviana lowered her eyes, and Luo Ya felt the same way. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and gently placed his hand on Viviana's shoulder.
"Then go back."
Seeing the surprise in Viviana's eyes when she raised her head, Roya put on a reassuring smile. In this spiritual world, they could not only see each other, but also feel each other's feelings. Therefore, Viviana could feel that Roya felt particularly guilty and lost when he said this, but with a strong background.
"Don't worry about it, and don't care about what others think. You just want to go back to see your hometown and give your mother a bouquet of flowers. No one has the right to stop you. While you still have a chance, don't let yourself regret it."
The surroundings seemed to be warming up again, but the candlelight and the fireplace had been extinguished, and the whole room was plunged into darkness. All the doors and windows were tightly blocked, and not even a ray of moonlight could be seen. Viviana hugged herself and leaned against the wall. Fortunately, Roya beside her could still see clearly.
This scene surprised Luo Ya a little. Viviana's face was filled with undisguised fear and terror, but it was not because of him.
"Are you afraid of the dark?"
Viviana nodded slightly and looked in a certain direction in the darkness. According to Luoya's memory, that seemed to be her bed.
"It was a dark night. I suddenly felt very warm, as if someone was caressing my head. But then the warmth disappeared like a candle in the wind. I woke up and found that my mother's body had turned cold."
The past came flooding back before her eyes like a tide. It was a night that Viviana would never forget. She was afraid of the dark when she was a child, and in that dark night she lost the person who loved her the most.
"I shouted desperately for help, but I didn't have the courage to step out of the tower. No one heard me. I tried to light a candle or the fireplace, but the candle had already burned out and there was only ashes left in the fireplace..."
Viviana no longer mentioned what happened later. She knew that those servants actually looked down on her and her mother because she was just an illegitimate daughter and her mother was not from a noble family. Although her father loved them very much, as the Elector, he always had no time to take care of them.
Luo Ya didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the candlestick, and found that all the candles had burned out. After all, this was Viviana's heart, and everything here was imagined by her. Wait a minute...so it was not that Viviana discovered that Luo Ya had entered her heart, but that she subconsciously longed for someone to talk to, so she imagined Luo Ya next to her in her mind, so she saw him by accident?
"Darkness is not scary, Miss Viviana, come on, let's get out of here."
After realizing that what he needed to do was not to light the candle but to guide, Roya walked in front of Viviana and extended his hand to her.
"Leave...but the doors and windows of the room are blocked."
Viviana seemed to have returned to that night more than ten years ago. Her voice could not reach anyone's ears, she could not open the door, she could not push open the windows. All she could do was watch her mother lying coldly on the bed, waiting for someone to come and deal with the situation the next day.
"is it?"
Roya wanted to use Draco's fire to set the surroundings on fire, but soon found that he could not use Draco's power in Viviana's inner world. This was probably because Viviana did not understand Draco as well as Tallulah. In her heart, Roya was just an ordinary person who was more get along well with her. Therefore, being in her inner world made Roya bound by this rule.
He reached out and pushed the door, but it didn't move. He tried to open the window but got the same result. This room symbolized Viviana's self-isolation, and it was not so easy to break through.
"Look, there's no way to break... this door..."
Vivianna's voice became childish. Luo Ya turned around and saw that the gentle Candlelight Knight had disappeared, replaced by the little Vivian in aqua blue pajamas.
This meant that her heart had sunk further into a deeper state of closure, and she even maintained a younger image in order to escape the past. After all, she would not be so sad at that time.
Luo Ya walked up to little Vivian and rubbed her head with his hand.
"If we can't open the door, then we can try another approach."
"Change your thinking?"
"Yes." Luo Ya nodded with a smile, "If we can't get through the door, then we can tear down the wall!"
The shadows around him shrank and solidified in an instant. Roya placed his hand on the wall behind little Viviana. Although he couldn't use Draco's power here, his original power was not bound by the real world or the inner world.
"Loosen, break, open."
As Roya finished speaking, the originally solid wall shook violently, and then the hard bricks and stones instantly collapsed into broken sand, forming a passage in front of Roya that was just enough for them to pass through.
In order not to hurt Viviana's original consciousness, Roya did not mobilize much strength. Surprisingly, there was no light at the broken exit. Roya looked around and it was still pitch black. After thinking about it, he returned to Viviana.
"Viviana, has your mother ever told you what the outside world is like?"
"The world outside... Mom said there are green forests and golden plains, and beautiful lakes."
When this was mentioned, little Viviana gradually raised her head. Luo Ya stared at her eyes closely and saw a hint of determination in her gloomy eyes. This made him feel a little relieved. This girl was really strong.
"Yes, but you have to go outside to see these. There's also your favorite botanical garden. Can we go there together?"
Luo Ya still remembered that he had comforted Miyue in the same way. At least he felt that he was experienced in this area. Especially since Viviana still had a yearning for the outside world, it was easier for him to win the heart of this girl.
"Can I really go?"
"Of course, you can go to any corner of the world, to the snowfields of Sami or the deserts of Sargon, to experience the mountains and rivers of Dayan or the new era of Columbia, but before that we have to leave here."
Reaching out his hand to little Viviana, Roya felt the changes in the world, while Viviana just glanced at the exit that Roya made, still a little afraid.
"But...it's dark outside."
"It's okay. I'm still with you. I'll stay with you until dawn, until the sun comes out."
Luoya took little Viviana's hand and led her up. Although she was still a little uneasy, Viviana held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the sun could dispel all the darkness. At least with Luoya by her side, she wouldn't be so afraid.
Catching the hint of expectation deep in Viviana's heart, Roya magnified it the next moment, and immediately took Viviana to the rooftop of the high tower outside the room. There was a golden light in the distance.
"Look, the sun is out."
That was the color of the rising sun. Viviana recognized it, and all the uneasiness in her heart was suppressed. A hint of joy appeared on her face, and soon the golden sun peeked out.
Roya let go of his hand. Arturo's performance evoked Viviana's nostalgia for her hometown, but also evoked her negative emotions about the past. What Roya had to do was to guide Viviana's mind to imagine those beautiful memories in order to dispel the shadows deep in her heart.
The young Vivian disappeared at some point, and was replaced by the Vivianna that Roya knew. She watched the sun illuminate the familiar street scene and the botanical garden, and also illuminate herself.
Luo Ya soon noticed that Viviana was not looking at the street or the sun, but was staring at him instead, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Thinking back on what he had just said, he still felt ashamed.
"Watch what I do?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly realized that Mr. Roya's eyes are as beautiful as the sun. Thank you."
By now, Viviana has realized that the Roya beside her is not a companion she imagined, but most likely the real Roya. Although she doesn't understand how Roya entered her heart, he did help her resolve some of her problems.
"Just don't blame me for intruding into your inner world without permission. Is that the botanical garden you've always wanted to visit?"
"Yes." Viviana looked over and then looked at Roya, "It's a pity that I have never been there. I don't have a complete picture of it in my heart."
"Then just wait until next time and go see it in person, in reality."
Arturo, who was distracted by the outside world, was still playing. Roya felt that it was time for them to leave. Viviana nodded slightly, with a playful smile on her face.
"Then you must not break your promise."
Luo Ya didn't know how to respond to this, so he could only quickly disappear from Viviana's sight and leave her inner world.
Back to reality, Arturo's performance continued, but this time Roya could feel that Arturo's Originium skills were not aimed at Viviana, but at him. Viviana was just affected.
Combined with the previous experience, it was not difficult for Roya to feel that Arturo wanted to explore his inner world, or wanted to understand something, but to him it sounded like very nice and simple music, and had no other influence.
(But those words Viviana said just now... should have been just a joke to me, huh, but at least it has brought me closer to her. Now, let alone kidnapping her, I guess she would nod and agree to help if I just tell her the plan)
This time, Arturo helped Roya a lot by accident, but Viviana's past was really pitiful. Roya couldn't bear it and wanted to help her. In his heart, he also took a look at Viviana's appearance. She was really beautiful and had a good temperament. No wonder she was so popular.
....................................
All that Roya was thinking about had nothing to do with Arturo. She had wanted to awaken Roya's inner feelings and learn more about this interesting person, but she didn't expect that her Originium skills had no effect at all. This surprised her. So far, no one has resisted her music. No... Is Roya resisting? He seems to be enjoying it.
Arturo has always believed that everyone has things they want to do. Some people want to go on a trip without any preparation, some want to confess their love to their beloved girls, and some hope to achieve something big. But everyone keeps these ideas and high emotions firmly in their hearts because everyone has concerns.
People who want to travel will worry about their family's concerns, people who want to confess their love will worry about being rejected, and people who want to achieve success in their careers will worry about failure. Everyone is bound by various reasons and excuses and suppresses themselves. What Arturo does is to release all their feelings and thoughts so that they no longer imprison their true selves.
She had performed for many people. Some of them made up their minds to let go of their worries after the performance, but some made mistakes. Roya was the only audience member who behaved so normally.
After thinking for a while, Arturo closed her eyes and prepared to personally feel Roya's inner voice. Her consciousness flowed into Roya's spiritual depths along with the music, and then she opened her eyes to see something...
