The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

The last time I set foot on this land, the destination was completely different from this time.

Looking at the damaged fortress in the distance, Perlis seemed to see the scene during the [College War]. Like some strange temptation, she decided to go over there and take a look.

......

"That prince...how can he be so calm?"

The steam train was running on the wasteland. Looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, Carly sighed in annoyance, as if her heart was being tormented by a small fire. At this moment, she and Perlis were sitting face to face by the window, waiting for the train to arrive at the supply station at Aston Plains.

"What you're saying is 'Wilkin wants to establish diplomatic relations with the New Kingdom'. You're just up to something. You're not a good person!"

When she thought of Aloi's shrewd and cunning face, Carly was furious. That stinky man actually proposed to Perlis, and Carly wanted to go to the first class cabin and kill that guy right now.

"It's a good thing," Perlis said calmly, fiddling with the ends of her hair. "Aishiliya can get Wilkin's support, which is an extra layer of protection."

"The question is, his target is you!" Carly looked at Perlis anxiously, "Maybe just like the Star Track, he will intercept you on the way!"

"This time is different from that time," Perlis said, "There are not many Wilkin guards in this car. Most of them are from the kingdom. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for their reputation."

Seeing that Perlis didn't take Aloy seriously at all, Carly sighed helplessly and fell silent. The scenery outside the window always showed a picture of a barren wilderness, which even had a hypnotic effect after looking at it for a long time.

After a while, Carly suddenly stood up, frowning slightly.

"No, I have to go and arm the carriages. I'll be back in time for dinner."

Without waiting for Perlis to say anything, Carly disappeared in a flash, leaving Perlis alone in the carriage.

Carly is rarely so anxious, Perlis thought. She had never seen Carly so uneasy before. Maybe the experience on the star track line made her a little scared.

When fighting a poisonous snake, one must always pay attention to its fangs. Carly didn't need to tell her, and Perlis knew this very well.

But... I'm so tired...

Perlis lowered her head and rubbed her forehead with her hands. Before entering La Vatino, she had not recovered from the severe injury in Thebite. After forcing herself to overdraw for nearly a week, Perlis felt that her body was about to fall apart.

I am only 18 years old... Why do I feel weaker and weaker? What should I do if this continues...

"You can have some strawberry yogurt!"

A voice suddenly sounded in front of Perlis, and she immediately threw the butterfly knife out of her sleeve and pointed it forward fiercely -

"you!"

I don't know when it started, but Ikan Geller sat opposite Perlis and looked at her very friendly. Perlis's blade was only a few centimeters away from his neck, but he didn't care at all.

"Why are you here! How did you get in the car!" Pearlis asked harshly.

"What's wrong? Don't you like strawberry yogurt?" Icahn answered irrelevantly, "You liked it when you were a kid."

"Answer my question!" Perlis pushed the knife closer to Ikan, "How did you get in the car?"

"What? Don't you want to chat with me?" Ikan tilted his head slightly, and looked at Perlis strangely with his blood-red eyes. "Last time we chatted, I obviously played a role..."

After hearing what he said, Perlis remembered the three sentences Icahn had said to her before. Those three sentences almost always played a role at very critical moments, allowing Perlis to escape danger countless times.

The hand holding the knife hesitated for a moment, then slowly put it down. Perlis put the butterfly knife back into her sleeve, leaned back in her seat, and looked at Ikan coldly.

"Who are you?" Perlis asked, "Why do you know those things?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary poet who likes to write in my spare time," Icahn smiled friendly, "Do you want to read my book?"

"No, I don't read anything written by third-rate poets," Perlis ruthlessly rejected Icahn, "How did you get in the car?"

"Ah... That hurts..." Icahn pretended to be deeply hurt, but actually pushed his glasses up calmly, "Do you really want to know how I got in the car?"

"Yes," Perlis nodded, as if she felt something was wrong again, "Uh... No... Actually, I want to..."

"You want to know why I appeared in front of you, right?"

Seeing that Icahn pointed out the doubts in her heart so accurately, Perlis was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Actually... this is..."

Icahn pretended to think deeply for a moment, then he stroked his sleeves lightly and spoke calmly:

"'The gardener has scattered the beloved seeds and is anxious to see the new sprouts break through the soil', nothing more."

For a moment, Perlis was stunned. She had a strange feeling: as if in her subconscious, she knew what Icahn was talking about.

A sea of ​​flowers, an endless sea of ​​flowers.

When she came to her senses, Icahn was looking at her with a smile. From the look in his eyes, it seemed as if Perlis had been controlled.

"What...what a boring sentence..." Perlis pouted slightly and said in a low voice.

“Hahahahaha… Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, intellectuals seem quite boring. I’m used to it!”

Ikan straightened his expression slightly, and with a slight movement of his hand, a small pure white flower quietly appeared at his fingertips. The small white flower was very similar to the one in Wilkin's sea of ​​flowers, but there was always a subtle difference.

"But this time I don't have any special purpose, I just came to give you something~"

Without waiting for Perlis's consent, Ikan gently pinned the small flower on the tip of her hair. She was always quick to react, but strangely she didn't react -

"Huh? You!"

"It's just a small gift. Don't get excited." Icahn smiled friendly. "The one you wore before was lost in La Vatino, right? You can't not wear the little white flower."

"But!"

Just as Perlis was about to say something, her expression froze, and when she came to her senses, Icahn had disappeared.

Disappeared...disappeared?

Perlis stood up quickly and looked around, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find Ikan.

Where on earth...did you go?

At this moment, Carly suddenly opened the door of the carriage and walked in——

"The defense is complete!" Carly looked relieved. "Little White Flower, do you want to have dinner?"

When Carly was halfway through her question, she noticed that Perlis's expression was a little strange:

"what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay..." Perlis rubbed her head gently, "Maybe...it's an illusion because I'm too tired..."

Perlis looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was almost time for dinner. How could it be so fast? It was only about 3pm when Carly left...

While thinking, Perlis suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the table. She looked over and found that it was a book with a note inside. Perlis picked up the note and read the contents carefully:

"Don't get drunk if you can help it."

A sentence that made no sense was written in very ordinary handwriting. Perlis didn't know what it meant, so she opened the title page of the book.

"This...this is..."

It was a book from Wilkin's Anthology of Fairy Tales, but that didn't surprise Pearlis.

To her surprise, the poet's name was clearly written on the signature of the collection:

"By Icahn Geller..."

Ending) Bowing my head and gently caressing the dust (Part 2)

The remains of the fortress stood on the wasteland. The altar that was once at the top had long been destroyed by some terrifying force majeure, leaving only half of the dilapidated stone building complex.

Fourteen years ago, this was the [Freedom Attack Fortress], the outpost defense line of the Kingdom of Grau Yad located on the Aston Plain.

Fourteen years later, this place is just a desolate ruin.

The kingdom and her border were now separated by an entire wasteland.

Perlis slowly walked to the ruins of the fortress and gently stroked the broken stone wall. The grainy lime rubbed against her white palms, shaking off layer after layer of ash, which fell into the dust on the ground.

It's been so long since the [College War] that changed everything...

The walls were covered with all kinds of strange characters, and Perlis guessed that they were the language of the Old Kingdom. She couldn't read those rune-like characters, so she looked for words she could understand among the sentences on the wall.

She was not disappointed. Soon, she saw a familiar common language:

"The kingdom still exists."

The stone carving marks were very new and looked like they were carved not long ago. Perlis guessed that it was carved by the secret prince of La Vatino. This little discovery made her very happy, so she continued to search.

Soon, she saw another line of common language:

"Great king, when the morning star returns, you will wake up again."

Then, more and more common languages ​​came into her sight:

"Let's march toward the morning star!"

"Defeat the Federals! I must try my best!"

"For the sake of the late king, we must continue on."

"The morning star will shine again! Mom said that as long as we look at the sky, there will be a response!"

"I am going to Charon... I will never come back. Morning Star, please shine on me."

"I want to compete! I want to be the best!"

"Please bless my love with Longlong to last forever! Even though I am penniless, she is so cute!"

"I curse that guy, he's so arrogant, who does he think he is?"

"The former king has passed away and his crown has fallen, and the thin horse in green clothes has fallen alone."

"I hate that guy... Who wants his love? I have to stay away from him, for sure."

"Tomorrow, I will definitely do it starting tomorrow."

"..."

Countless words, joy, happiness, sorrow, anger, all appeared in front of Perlis in the form of this engraving. She saw a lot, whether it was the nostalgia for the kingdom or those extremely personal whispers, all appeared in front of her like a corridor of time, showing her the various forms of life that had passed through the wasteland.

Perlis would sigh at those hopeful words, or curl her lips at those worldly groans. She seemed to be reading a book, a collection of quotations interwoven with the desires of countless people.

When she was absorbed in her thoughts, a light laugh suddenly came from behind her:

"It's really rude to carve words on the ruins, isn't it?"

Perlis turned around suddenly and found that it was Aloy Aziz walking over. The eyes of the [Golden Sand Snake] were slightly narrowed as usual, looking at the girl in front of him.
