dream world.

The world behind the gate of truth.

The information of the ancient era has been condensed into a city, which recorded every house, clock tower, workshop, and shop in the former Anhuo city.

Like an old photo.

There are thousands of trefoils in the photo; although all of them are gone, their shadows are all here.

Every bit and every drop here is formed by the power of a powerful ghost.

An extremely powerful special spiritual body created the city in the form of a ghost advanced death monarch.

At this moment.

A colorful flower branch falls from a height.

The flower branches penetrated the time-fixed barrier little by little and fell into the ancient city.

Everything in the old photos also moved with the fall of the colorful flower branches.

It's like pressing the play button.

In the Sheng'an District of Anhuo City, a three-story building near the city wall. .

Asai put on close-fitting clothes, held a cane and put on a hat.

In front of the mirror, he puffed out his chest and carefully looked at himself in the mirror.

"really not bad."

Just like those people in the big cities that I longed for when I was a child, those full-fledged aristocrats.

From a young age, he was a proud man.

And now he finally proudly put on this suit and walked on the most prosperous avenue with his head held high.

After studying with the old priest in the temple of Rolling Stone Town for two years, he finally seized an opportunity and became the priest of the Ice Ritual Temple in Anho City with his excellent talent.

In a few years, if he can't go further in the Temple of Ice Ritual, at least he can enter other important institutions of authority in Anhuo City.

You can even go on your own and open a ritual workshop to produce all kinds of miracles.

Anyway.

No matter what, a better life and future are beckoning to him.

Asai walked down the stairs on the second floor.

Downstairs, the mother was urging the maid to prepare the food. Seeing that the maid was not quick, she went into battle herself.

However, Asai walked down and didn't plan to eat at all, so he shouted and was about to walk away.

"I am going out."

Seeing Asai's style, his mother rushed over and grabbed Asai's collar.

Asai's feet stagnated, and the whole person leaned back.

No longer aristocratic, he has become a struggling mud monkey under his mother in a small country town.

His mother grabbed his hand and dragged him back.

"What are you going out? Haven't eaten yet?"

Asai's mother dragged Asai hard and made him finish his breakfast.

Asai thinks this is too troublesome: "There are also outside, why do you do it at home?

Mother stood watching Asai eat: "There are people who want money outside."

Asai didn't care: "I have money."

Mother glared at him: "If you have money, you have to save money."

Mother watched Asai start to eat honestly before finally turning around and leaving.

But she immediately noticed Assai's cane.

The mother took his cane and tapped the ground a few times, like a blind man on the side of the road exploring the way.

"I'm not blind, I'm not old or eighty, and I'm still leaning on crutches."

Asay told his mother: "It's not a crutch, it's the latest cane in the city. Nobles and scholars use this."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand: "You don't understand."

Anyway, his mother disliked it: "I don't understand the people in this city."

While eating, Asai turned to look at his mother who entered the house.

The mother is carefully wrapping the money that Asai gave her to herself and putting it in a small box, and is now trying to find a place to hide it.

That cautious appearance, for fear that the money will be stolen by others.

Asai raised his voice and said, "The thief is really coming in, you can find it wherever you hide."

"Besides, where did so many thieves come from?

But the mother looked serious: "We used to live in Rolling Stonehenge, we didn't have anything, and no one was going to steal it!"

"It's different now."

"You have money, and thieves will definitely come."

Asai shook his head: "No thief would dare to steal the temple priest's house without his eyesight."

This is true.

Not only because of the status of the temple priests, who knows what the **** is in the homes of those priests who master magical techniques. There are many things and traps in the homes of these powerful people that involve extraordinary power.

Even if it is stolen, who knows if there are any future troubles and marks left on you, the other party will find you immediately.

finished eating.

Asai then turned his cane, straightened the hat on his head and left.

The old building at the intersection was demolished, and a new workshop will be built here.

Asai looked at the tall buildings, the glass shop windows stretched across the entire commercial street.

Look at the three-leafed men and women dressed in gorgeous and bright clothes.

This is a big city that can be counted on one's fingers even in Xi'ensai, not to mention in the eyes of the snake people, in the eyes of ordinary three-leaf people, it also looks like a paradise on earth.

Since the sage Sandan brought the power of miracles to the world, Xiyence has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the development is faster than the day.

Heinsai could have used this power to break through this harsh environment and push civilization to a peak, but all Sanye people just immersed themselves in the richness and extravagance brought by this miracle technique.

But at this moment.

Nobody noticed this.

Asai walked to the street, and the entire commercial street was lit up.

Three-leafed people dressed in various costumes stood in front of the glass window, poking their heads and looking into the distance.

"coming!"

"coming."

There is a huge festival going on in the city, known as the Festival of Salvation, in honor of the second generation saint, Stan Tito.

That's the day Stan Tito saves the city from the troll plague caused by the mad King Samo.

Also on this day.

The great **** Insai took back the trolls of the royal bloodline family, bestowed upon mortals the power of rituals and miracles, and brought happiness and redemption to the lives of mortals.

"Dong dong dong."

Dense drums and accompanying conch horns sounded, and a procession in festive costumes came from afar.

The team carried a puppet from a distance and gradually approached. People on both sides of the street saluted one after another, and many even knelt down and prayed.

In the festive atmosphere, the team came to Asai.

The crowd also became crowded, everyone crowded together in an instant, and everyone wanted to be closer to the team.

Asai raised his head.

On the shelf being carried is a puppet propped up by a cloth shell, which comes with the light of the morning.

This time, Asai was no longer standing on the other side of the street looking at it against the light. What he saw was a bright sunshine.

The sun not only shines on him, but also illuminates every detail of the doll.

There were cheers from the crowd: "Heroes and saints."

"The great Stan Tito."

Asai stood on the street and followed the crowd and chanted, holding up his hands and holding up his cane and hat.

"Stan Tito!"

"Stan Tito!"

"..."

The sound of the crowd turned into an ocean, and everyone was immersed in joy.

"so good!"

"This is the big city, this is An Huo City."

"I like here."

With a smile on his face, Asai kept waving his arms along with the crowd.

until the team is completely gone.

The festive atmosphere has turned on, everyone on the street is smiling, and acquaintances greet each other.

Asai was walking on the road, he met the captain of the security team in San Ann District.

He knew each other very well, because as a child he had thought that if he could not become a priest, he must become a vigilante captain who arrested criminals.

The captain reached out and greeted Asai: "Asai!"

"morning!"

Asai imitated the noble's etiquette response, put on his hat again, and asked the captain curiously.

"I heard that you caught a vicious criminal yesterday, is that true?"

"The other party also killed a noble outside the city?"

The captain said seriously: "There is no trial yet, so I can't tell you."

"But there are some details that I can tell you about."

Asai asked the captain, "What details?"

He was curious: "Did you discover the details of the criminal's criminal evidence from small clues?"

The captain told Asai: "The criminal looks a lot like you!"

Asai turned his head: "You are joking again."

The captain said, "It's true, I almost thought it was you."

Asai followed the security captain all the way and came to the ointment shop opposite the security office in Sheng'an District.

Although he has already eaten at home, he is still used to buying things here and taking them to the Temple of Ice.

Before he could speak, a voice came from under the counter.

"I still want a mass of icing sugar!"

"right!"

Inside the store is a cute little girl, just a little higher than the counter; the parents of this store are usually busy at the back, and let their children help to watch the store in the front.

Asai likes to watch this little thing jumping and jumping, it is a kind of bad taste.

But his bad taste will soon be destroyed, because the child grows very fast, and it has grown a lot in just a few months.

In a few months, he may catch up, because Asai, who has been malnourished since childhood, is not tall.

Asai was lying on the counter: "Little one, how come she looks so big!"

The girl replied: "Do they grow faster? Colin and the others grow faster!"

When Asai mentioned his student, he shook his head: "This guy Colin doesn't know what to eat, he's growing so fast."

"They're taller than me."

Asai put the money on the stage and took the massecuite wrapped in paper.

He came to the Temple of Ice Ritual, and his student Colin, an apprentice of the Temple of Ice, was waving at him.

"teacher!"

"teacher!"

Asai stepped up the steps and walked up, Colin saw the paper bag in Asai's hand at a glance, and said unceremoniously.

"It's so nice to know that I'm hungry, teacher."

Asai clutched tightly: "I didn't buy it for you."

But after that, it was given to Colin.

In the Temple of Ice, Asai completed the tasks assigned by the temple, practiced depicting ritual formations, and created various miracles.

Then he went to the library to read books for a while, and in the afternoon taught Colin several priest apprentices.

Although he has only been studying for a few years, because of his strong talent, he has become a second-order priest and can already teach priest apprentices.

Asai returned the books in the library, and it was already dark at this time.

on the way home.

Suddenly the whole street twisted.

A looming figure appeared on the deserted street and looked at Asai.

It was a guy who should be in prison in the city at this time. He was wearing a priest's robe and had a symbol of truth on his right hand.

Ghost Porick.

"Asai God!"

"Xiao is about to be resurrected, and he has embarked on the road of wisdom, although it is not a complete reincarnation."

"He already has the door of spirituality, and then maybe..."

Assai clearly saw the other party and heard the other party's words, but just walked past him with his head down.

"I do not know you."

"I don't know Xiao either."

He had seen the other party many times, but he knew that the other party didn't exist at all.

The other party is just a phantom, an existence imagined by oneself.

That's a welcome that doesn't exist in this world,

"What's wrong with me? Is there some strange disease?"

"Check the collection of books in the temple tomorrow to see if there is anything like me."

Assai walked through the streets, and everything was calm again.

However, after returning home, the house was full of chaos.

Some people exclaimed, some people shouted.

Asai was stunned for a moment, thinking that a thief had really entered the house.

He strode into the house, and saw the mother and the maid standing together, watching something in the yard yelling.

When the mother saw that Asai was back, she immediately pointed at the thing and shouted.

"Look."

"Asai!"

"What kind of weird thing is this!"

"It just grew out of nowhere, and it wasn't there in the morning."

It was a tree with colorful flowers.

It looks a bit like the Goblet of the Sun, but it's very different.

There are no trees in this era, and plants can only grow in the sea. The three-leafed people have no idea what it is.

The maid also said, "It's so beautiful, what kind of plant is this?"

Asai didn't know what it was either, he just told his mother and maid not to go near the tree.

But he also instinctively felt that this thing should not be a dangerous item. He thought of the figure that suddenly appeared just now, and he felt that this thing should be related to the other party.

"What kind of extraordinary item should it be, maybe a prop?"

"I'll take care of it."

That night, Asai woke up suddenly.

The look in his eyes changed.

From the original sunshine, it has become gloomy and deep.

He walked downstairs slowly and entered the courtyard.

The rainbow tree in the yard shimmered under the moon, more beautiful than it was seen during the day.

It is a beauty that transcends this era, a miracle that transcends time and space.

Asai stretched out his hand and touched the flowers of the rainbow tree.

Missing passes through mountains and seas, through space.

Heaven and earth change.

Various pictures that did not belong to An Huo City appeared in front of him.

He saw the vast green earth, and the beasts running in the jungle; he saw the flock of winged men soaring in the sky, accompanied by white clouds.

That was the last epoch, an absolutely unseen sight.

He saw the beautiful fairy in the forest and sent the paper origami letter to a distance.

finally.

I saw the dreamy sea of ​​stars.

The dazzling stars are densely covered in the sky, and every twinkling shimmer is the mark of a life that once existed.

Those who existed and lost all turned into stars and stayed here.

At this time, the figure of Ghost Polik reappeared beside Asai.

Polik stood under the tree and said to Asai.

"Asai God!"

"The messengers of the gods will pass on your thoughts to those who have passed away, and to the dream sea of ​​stars, the destination of all beings and spirits."

"This flower branch."

"Be able to say what you want to say, what you haven't been able to say before."

"Bring everyone you care about and can't let go of."

Asai didn't respond, just quietly raised his head and looked at the sky.

------------------

the next day.

Asai woke up a little early today, and her mother was always busy before dawn.

She was wiping things in the hall, over and over.

She is very satisfied with her current life.

The mother turned her head to look at Asai who came down the stairs: "It's strange!"

"Are you up so early today?"

Asai didn't speak, just sat beside his mother.

Mother also sat beside Asai, and she seemed to feel Asai's mood too.

She knew that Asai wanted to talk to herself, although Asai didn't want to, just listened to herself.

As long as he hears his mother's voice, Asai can feel at ease.

"Life is so good now!"

"It's like a dream."

Asai looked at his mother and smiled.

"As long as you like it."

The mother smiled from ear to ear: "It's different in the city! Return you?"

My mother went on to talk about the past. After a good life, I always remember the hard times in the past.

"The house we lived in used to leak all day long, and it rained tickly. It was incredible."

"And where have we eaten such a good thing before."

As he talked, the mother's topic became farther and farther away.

"do you remember?"

"When you came back from the shrine, you failed to become a priest apprentice. Those bad boys in the town came to bully you."

"They're all broken."

Asai suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother with his mouth open.

However, the mother was still immersed in her memories and continued to speak unconsciously.

"You go to work in the warehouse in the town. I originally wanted to go to the mayor's house to work and pick up some cloth heads to sell, but it rained and fell ill..."

Asai stood up, his eyes suddenly changed.

His pupils revealed pain, and he said hoarsely.

"Do not!"

"None of this happened."

He looked at his mother and asked him in disbelief.

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

"I succeeded in becoming the apprentice of the temple priest, didn't I?"

"We managed to get out of Rolling Stones, and we managed to live the good life we ​​wanted, didn't we?"

It was only at this time that the mother reacted. The things in her memory were completely inconsistent with what was happening now.

In that memory, Asai failed to become the apprentice of the priest of the temple, and his brain was distorted because of the failure of power guidance.

Asai's brain was oppressed and he was blinded in one eye and lame in one leg, and completely cut off the idea of ​​becoming a priest.

Under his own arrangement, Asai went to the warehouse in the town to work.

But because of the heavy rain, he became seriously ill.

Then.

died?

The mother felt very strange and did not understand what it was.

"what?"

"Didn't it happen?"

"Why do I……"

Mother's face was blank, she didn't know where her memory came from.

These things have never happened in the illusory city of Anho, those terrible things only exist in the outside world, not in the door.

Asai stood stiffly, and he could see his body shaking constantly.

Mother also noticed Asai's situation, she first looked at him, and then hugged him carefully.

"Asai!"

"Are you afraid?"

She stroked Asai's face and said to him.

"Ace."

"Do not be afraid."

"Cover your eyes if you're scared!"

"You can't see anything, so you won't be afraid."

"Don't look at the outside world, I will always be by your side and protect you."

Asai's eyes were dark, but he recalled the touch of his mother's palm again.

Tears streamed down his face like a majestic rain.

He reached out and hugged his mother.

"no."

"I'm not afraid."

"I just... miss you so much."

Mother looked at Asai, she seemed to understand something.

The mother's eyes became gentle, and she gently stroked Asai's face, looking at her son who was so arrogant and arrogant that he never let him worry.

"Live well!"

"Asai!"

"Whatever you become, whether you are blind or lame."

"Whether you are a priest or a king."

"Or..."

"It's a god."

"I hope you live well and live well in this world."

A long, long time ago, Asai's mother once said the same thing.

That's what Asai said to him after his failure to become a priest's apprentice.

He was blind in one eye and lame in one leg.

Asai's mother was an ordinary woman living at the bottom of the Xiyence Kingdom. She couldn't say anything philosophical, and she was always calculating.

Live well.

This is her view of life, and the only expectation for Asai.

Live well.

That's enough.

When Asai heard these words, he immediately knelt on the ground weakly.

He hugged his mother's legs tightly, and lowered his head deeply.

His voice was almost sobbing, and he wanted to roar out his despair and anger together, but in the end it all turned into reluctance.

"Um!"

"Um!"

"I know I know……"

Asai finally understood.

No matter how he hides it, no matter how much he deceives himself.

The illusion here is just an illusion, just the mother in his memory.

There is no one else here, only his own memory.

And his longing for his mother cannot be given by these illusions.

The sun shines into the house.

Sitting at the table, Asai was writing something, scribbling on the cloth with a pen.

Mother came over and asked Asai, "Who are you writing to?"

Asai turned his head and said with a smile, "Here you are!"

Asai wrote several letters, which were divided into scrolls of cloth.

He walked into the yard and threw the letter into the hole of the rainbow tree.

Colorful fluorescence surrounds, and petals fall into the air.

The letter in the tree hole also disappeared.

Asai looked up at the sky.

"If you can get it."

"Just tell me!"

As these words began, everything around them began to slowly dissipate.

From this hut like a paradise in heaven, to the street outside.

to the whole city.

Those familiar and unfamiliar, one by one, disappeared into the void.

finally.

Only Asai was left.

-------------

Dreamland.

In the stationery wonderland, the fairy who is on duty today is Saint Raphael.

This somewhat sloppy fairy sat under the tall rainbow tree, and the paper planes in the sky were spinning one by one, and finally landed on her hand.

"Chirp!"

The fairy Saint Raphael held the paper plane and flew it out.

into the tree hole.

Every time one flew out, she would imitate the sound of breaking the wind in her mouth.

It's a sense of ritual.

The rainbow tree radiated light again, and several special letters were delivered to her.

Saint Raphael was very curious and picked up these letters.

"A letter from a god? The **** of truth and knowledge?"

"Not paper?"

"Is this the first time you have seen a letter of this style?"

The fairy looked at the scrolls, a little distressed.

"But how do you fold it into a paper airplane?"

In fact, it can be delivered without folding it into a paper airplane, but San Rafael always feels that that kind of flying has no soul, and that kind of delivery is not dreamy enough.

In the end, she decided to deliver it herself.

Just right.

The destinations of these letters are the Fantasy Xinghai.

The fairy in the forest shuttles through the fantasy star sea, looking for the corresponding recipient and the corresponding dream of life.

The fairies in the forest themselves are dream races, and they leap into the sea like fish in this dream land.

But it's weird.

She found the first few, but she couldn't find the last one.

"Is there no such person?"

"Why can't I find it?"

"Could it be... this God of Truth and Knowledge is mistaken?"

------------

Inside the door of truth.

Asai, the **** of truth and knowledge, had a dream, and the power of the dream came from the kingdom of creation, dragging him into a dreamland.

Asai did not refuse, he was happy.

dreaming.

He dreamed of the captain of the security team in San Ann District, he dreamed of his student Colin, he dreamed of the owner of the face cream shop.

He dreamed of many people and saw colorful dreams of life.

But only.

Did not dream of his mother.

He went from anticipation, to loss, to doubt.

At this time, a beautiful girl with black hair and a wreath appeared in the dream.

The girl told him, "I didn't find the recipient, did you make a mistake?"

"If you're wrong, you have to vote again next time!"

After speaking, the girl disappeared.

Asai opened his eyes.

A powerful force spread along the void, and the door of truth burst open.

"Buzz~"

The two huge doors pushed slowly, making a roaring sound of friction.

A huge transparent shadow appeared inside the gate of truth~lightnovelpub.net~ and then slowly condensed into a figure in a black dress, it was a young man with a hat and a cane in his hand.

A group of ghosts of the Polik family appeared in front of the gate of truth and knelt down facing the young man.

"The Porick family."

"Highest homage to the great God of truth and knowledge."

Polik looked at the young man with unparalleled enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Asai God."

"You finally... finally woke up."

"You are the embodiment of truth, the most learned scholar, and the **** who seeks truth."

"We are willing to follow in your footsteps, in pursuit of eternal truth."

"Whether it's 250 million years."

"It's still longer."
