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

And now, she herself has become a kind of existence similar to a ghost story: tearing apart space, controlling the flow of factor energy, using factor energy to repair injuries and strengthen the body.

I accepted it so quickly, as if all of this was innate and should be so... Perlis muttered to herself as she walked along the side of the ship, and after turning several corners, she reached the living area on the upper deck.

The rooms near the outside belong to Captain Furukawa Wataru, first mate Shibata Kazuki, and the room at the deepest part belongs to the ship's "civil servant" Mei Hoshiki.

Perlis walked through the corridor and soon arrived at the wooden door. She thought for a moment and then knocked on the door:

"dong dong dong..."

After a few seconds, a clear and indifferent female voice came from the room:

"Come in (Dila)."

Without hesitation, Perlis opened the door and walked into the civil servant's room.

What caught her eyes was the extremely simple decoration. The room was not big, but it was still fully equipped. A huge bookshelf occupied an entire wall of the room, filled with books marked with strange symbols. In front of the bookshelf, a brown wooden table was placed neatly, on the table were some instruments that Perlis could not understand, and a few half-opened books.

Behind the desk, Perlis caught a glimpse of the chestnut-haired girl in a palace burgundy dress. She was looking at Perlis quietly, half-opening a black book marked with a star symbol in her hand.

That is the "civil servant" on the ship, Miss Mei Xinghui. According to Aoi, she is probably the person who knows the most about strange things in the entire Panhai.

It can be seen...Perlis glanced at the strange instruments on the table, and then slowly walked to the front of the desk.

"Please sit down." Xinghui Mei nodded to Perlis, with no expression on her indifferent and pretty face.

Perlis nodded slightly, then pulled a chair in front of the desk and sat down, looking at Xinghui Meiyi.

Her eyes were a beautiful violet color, which immediately reminded Perlis of the deep starry sky, dreamy and beautiful.

.She is pretty, no wonder Gleason Trent seems to be interested in her..

"..."

After taking her seat, Perlis looked at Mei Xinghui, waiting for her to speak.

And Mei Xinghui just stared at Perlis with an expressionless face.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Eh? Why isn't she talking...?

Perlis's expression remained indifferent, but a series of doubts were bubbling in her mind.

And there was no change in Mei Xinghui's expression. She just looked at Perlis, and there was no ripple or wave of emotion on her face, which was full of oriental feminine charm.

Is she waiting for me to speak? Perlis was a little flustered. In her impression, it was usually others who talked to her. She rarely took the initiative to ask strangers about these unimportant things.

And Mei Xinghui in front of him seems to be such a person.

"..."

It's really hard to deal with people who are similar to you...For a moment, Perlis suddenly missed Aoi's noisy mouth that talks nonsense all day long.

We can't keep on being in a stalemate!

"cough..."

Perlis lowered her head slightly, cleared her throat, and spoke with effort:

"Hello, I am..."

"Perlis Havrgard, I have heard of you from the captain."

Mei Xinghui said in a clear voice, her expression still indifferent.

You can talk, right? Perlis clenched her fists silently, but her expression remained unchanged as she spoke:

"Ms. Xinghui Meiyi Civil Servant, I..."

"You can call me Mei." Xinghui Mei nodded, her big violet eyes staring at Perlis motionlessly.

Hmm...Perlis's delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then she took a deep breath and said:

"Ms. Mei, I would like to ask you some legends about the sea."

Hearing this, Xinghui Mei's violet eyes flashed, and there seemed to be some starlight twinkling in them.

Her expression was calm, she just lowered her head and spoke in a clear voice:

"Which aspect?"

"About Imhotaros." Perlis went straight to the point.

"This is the ancient divine name of the Black Island," Mei Xinghui nodded. "To know this name, you must have done some research on the legends of the Panhai Sea?"

"Not much," Perlis shook her head slightly, "but I still know a little bit."

"In that case, have you ever read any legends about 'Mother Goddess Ersa' or 'The Wall of Eternity'?" Mei Xinghui asked, "Any version."

"Mother Goddess Ersa" and "Eternal Wall"? Perlis had heard these two terms from some missionaries in the Federation. They were the ancient god symbolizing the "earth" and the sanctuary where he lived.

But that was just religion. There had never been any miracles in this world, and Perlis had never believed in gods. As for the ancient god, she only knew his name, but had never learned much about him.

So, Perlis shook her head honestly and said:

"No."

"I can tell you more about Imhotaros, but the prerequisite is that you need to know something about the story of Mother Goddess Ersa."

Mei Xinghui said as she stood up and turned around to look through the bookshelves:

"The gaze comes from the starry sky and also from the earth."

It feels like a charlatan... Looking at Mei Xinghui's back, Perlis felt as if she had entered the set of a wizard-themed movie, and was inexplicably excited.

"Where can I learn about those stories?" Perlis suppressed the curiosity in her tone.

Mei Xinghui didn't answer, but continued to search. Soon, she stood on tiptoe with difficulty, trying to reach the book on the top of the bookshelf.

But she obviously couldn't reach it, so she carefully moved a stool from the side, stepped on the stool, and then took the book down.

"Hey..."

Mei Xinghui jumped off the bench, placed the book on the table in front of Perlis, and patted the cover:

"In a fairy tale."

When Perlis took a closer look, she was shocked: it was a collection of Wilkin's fairy tale poems.

Looking for the real-life basis for the legend in the fairy tale book? For a moment, Perlis felt that Mei Xinghui in front of her was immediately equated with the word "idiot", and the difference was inextricable.

But in the next second, Perlis' pupils shrank, and she suddenly realized something -

——The author of "The Wilkin Collection of Fairy Tales" is Ikan Gellert! He is the mysterious bard!

This was the information that Perlis learned when she left La Vatino on the Wilderness Line: the poet left behind a fairy tale book when he left, and the signature on it was Ikan Geller, his own name.

At that time, Perlis didn't care too much about it. She seemed to have given the fairy tale book to Carly to keep, and she never took it out to read it again.

Now it seems that Icahn Geller left a fairy tale book during that period, which obviously had a deep meaning...

"..."

Perlis calmed down her emotions a little, then raised her head and asked tentatively:

"Who is the author of this book?"

As Perlis expected, Mei Xinghui shook her head and said softly:

"Initially, he had a name, but after the black tide submerged the earth, his name dissipated along with the blessing and became a whisper in the wind. Only a few people with destiny can know the secret and use it to open the door to the starry sky."

What the hell is going on here... Perlis was suddenly confused and suddenly realized that she couldn't understand anything. She could only get one message from it:

Almost no one knows the name of Icahn Geller.

Who is he? Perlis recalled the poet's face, and her doubts grew.

I always feel like I'm walking on a planned path... planned by many people... Perlis puffed up her cheeks imperceptibly, and then said:

"Can you tell me the story about 'Mother Goddess Ersa' and 'The Wall of Eternity'?"

4) Gaze from the Abyss (Part 2)

"of course."

In front of the desk, Mei Xinghui spread out the black-covered "Selected Fairy Tales and Poems by Wilkin" and turned one page very skillfully.

She glanced at Perlis with her beautiful violet eyes, and then she began to speak softly:

"She has many names, Ursa, Mother Earth, Lord of Embers, Eyes Looking Up at the Stars. She is a blessed being, the essence of the fertile land under the gaze of the High Eaves beyond the starry sky."

"In the ancient Odin Dynasty, when the kingdom that spoke the ancient language of God still stood on the earth, the god once wandered in the mortal world, brushing the petals in the sea of ​​flowers and leaving footprints on the earth."

Having said this, Mei Xinghui pushed the book to Perlis and motioned for her to read it.

Perlis took the book and found that it was a manuscript. The slightly yellowed parchment was covered with beautiful and neat handwriting, which was obviously written by Xinghui Mei.

She might really be interested in this aspect... Thinking so, Perlis carefully read the story in front of her:

Son of Man, Son of God (note 1).

The story tells about the Earth Mother who transformed into a black-haired girl walking on earth and met Prince Odin in a sea of ​​flowers. After Odin fell asleep, the prince stole the blessing from his sanctuary "Eternal Walls" and conquered the whole world.

At the end of the story, the Mother Goddess of Earth reawakened, faced with a world ravaged by war and the changed prince, she flooded the earth with an angry black tide, destroying everything.

Wait... the black tide is flooding the earth... it seems...

Seeing this sentence, a scene suddenly appeared in Perlis's mind:

The dark earth, the fiery clouds in the sky, and the spires on the horizon.

That was the scene of the "other shore" that Perlis had seen in the ocean of her own subconscious mind.

Is everything really such a coincidence?

"..."

After a brief silence, Perlis raised her head and softly asked Mei Xinghui in front of her:

"Is all this true?"

To her surprise, Mei Xinghui shook her head, her long chestnut hair swaying slightly.

She doesn't think this is true? Just as the doubts in Perlis's mind flashed through her mind, Mei said:

“For fairy tales, we don’t have to examine their authenticity, but rather look for the symbolic meaning in them.”

Mei Xinghui said as she took out a pair of round silver-framed glasses with thin chains on both sides from her chest and put them on. Then she gently turned a spherical metal instrument on the table and said softly:

"As we all know, the land we live on is only a part of the entire world, one-fifth or even one-tenth."

"After passing through the storm at the edge of the ocean, the 'other side' that only the Federation people have been to is the true appearance of this world. For some reason, it is no longer suitable for living, so there is no civilization."

"As for the reason that turned everything upside down, there is no record in history. However, if we extrapolate from this fairy tale, and regard 'Prince Odin' as 'human', and 'Mother Earth' as ​​'some kind of horrible irresistible force', then the real situation is probably that the humans at that time triggered a force that they could not control. That force destroyed everything, leaving only the pure land on the ocean current of the continent of Ademir, which still retained the spark of civilization."

This makes a lot more sense... Perlis thought to herself, and suddenly felt that many phenomena could be explained: the huge differences in civilizations in different regions of the Ademir continent, and the Tower of Babel that did not belong to the modern technology tree at all. If it was the legacy of some previous civilization, then it would make sense.

However, there is a high probability that there is civilization on the so-called "other side"... Perlis recalled the Great Wall and spires she had seen in the ocean of subconsciousness, as well as the blasphemous figure in black armor.

"..."

Perlis did not tell Xinghui Mei about this. After all, she had only seen those things in her own subconscious ocean and had no evidence.

There was evidence... Perlis recalled the photos she found in Edward's old house. Unfortunately, those photos have been seized by [Black Cape] Mercury, and are probably destroyed now...

After thinking for a while, Perlis spoke again:

"So, what does this story have to do with Immortalus?"

"It does matter," Xinghui Mei said, quickly turning to another page of the "Wilkin Fairy Tale Poetry Anthology" and pushing it to Pearlis.

When Perlis saw it, she found it was the nursery rhyme she had read as a child:

"A sailor walked onto the Black Island..."

"A butcher walked onto the Black Isle..."

"A hunter walked onto the Black Isle..."

"Their boats are black..."

"Their shadows are black..."
