Kuchakucha's rolling steam train drove away quickly, and the devil's vignette steam engine emitted billowing white smoke.

The window of the car reflects Lilian at this moment, the past is reflected in the glass ball, and the train is driving to the future.

Lilian heard what the strange woman said, and read along with her.

But in the end she said: "I have gained a lot, but in the end not only lost what I got, but also lost everything I once had."

A faint sadness flowed on Lilian's face. She used to think that she was strong and brave enough to never cry, and that she would face the most vicious enemy with her minions.

She would rather shed blood than cry.

But at this moment she understood that what really brings you pain is not the enemy, but the loss.

In the end, it is not the enemy that destroys everything for her, but the choice she made at the beginning.

Because of this, they went to success, and because of it, they went to perish. "We want to live better, we want to change our destiny."

"We may be doing it wrong, but how can we do it right?"

Lilian couldn't figure it out.

But the pictures in the bead didn't end, those pictures seemed to be intermittent, one after another.

Not only is it incoherent, but even the chronological order is misplaced. There are witches' ships, kings and nobles, grand ceremonies, and crazy sacrifices.

finally.

She saw the thunder storm.

Dark clouds and storms that cover the sky and the sun are coming quickly, and with the storm, there are also a large number of giant jellyfish like mountains.

That is the son of the giant god.

They ride the storm and dance with the thunder.

The scion of the titan radiated light to dispel the darkness, and lightning bolt after bolt tore through the sky.

In the end, the darkness of the sky cracked a line, and then kept opening, opening wider and wider.

A blood-red eye appeared in the sky, and that eye stared at the Thunder Swamp, carrying the power to destroy everything. Even though Lilian didn't know anything, she vaguely understood what it was.

That is God.

"Boom!"

The hollow thunder came from the sky in the picture, and it also exploded in Lilian's ears.

The moment Lilian heard the thunder, she seemed to hear a voice of doubt.

Then, she fell into a complete coma.

"Is that... the words of the gods?"

These were her last thoughts before she passed out.

And as the tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, it seemed that something had left her body together, and her body seemed to be connected to something.

the other side.

In the Witch's Palace of Thunder Temple.

The girl was served and put on the gorgeous clothes of the witch. The blue loose robe was retro in style and printed with noble and sacred patterns. Wearing it was like covering the sky on her body.

The girl stood in her own bedroom, her beautiful makeup and figure were reflected in the mirror beside her, and she looked up at the ancient painting that had been hanging in the palace for a long time, the "Lost Kingdom" replica.

in the picture.

The sea of ​​clouds is untouchable, and the kingdom of God is out of reach.

She stretched out her hand and touched it, as if she had grasped everything that was once untouchable and unreachable. The girl still feels like she is in a dream, and she has become a "witch".

The most perfect existence she dreamed of when she was a child, now she has replaced her at this moment.

In this case.

Did he become perfect himself?

She is no longer a washerwoman, nor the second sister of the Yann family, but the spokesperson of God.

She let go of her hand and asked the maid beside her, "Did anything happen today?"

The maid talked about a lot of things, about the king, the minister of the interior, border conflicts and various temples, but none of these big things seemed to be her concern.

She just asked, "How about Chengnan, did anything happen today?"

The maid thought for a long time, and finally remembered something: "It seems that a villain who committed crimes and crimes was hanged, but it's very strange. I don't know why Lord Como has also passed by. How can an adult like him pay attention to such a villain? How strange."

If it weren't for Lord Como, even this maid might not have known about it. After all, who would remember the life and death of an insignificant person!

Of course the girl knew what the other party was doing, and she was responsible for arranging and watching the "villain" be hanged, and also to lead another "villain" to arrest him.

She shook her fingers, as if she wanted to ask something more, but she didn't ask for a long time.

At this time, Mr. Como, whom the maid just mentioned, also came back.

The other party stopped outside the bedroom and began to salute without entering. The girl let the others retreat, and looked at Komo's servant: "How is it?"

Cuomo's servant said this: "No one knows your past anymore, Your Highness!"

"starting today."

"You have only one name, and your name is Liz."

"A great and holy name."

"His Royal Highness Sky Witch!"

Nothing has been said, but everything has been said. In an instant, the girl in the gorgeous robe felt that the feeling of falling into a dream deepened, her whole body felt light, and even the images and sounds of the surrounding world were blurred.

She swayed back a few times.

Stumbling, she saw herself in the mirror.

In her sight, the self in the mirror became blurred little by little, as if she was becoming another person.

She seemed to be leaving this world and becoming out of tune with it.

The girl didn't know what expression and attitude she should use to face the illusory self and the real world, and whether she should be happy or sad at this moment.

It seems like she should be sad because she's missing something. And she seemed to be happy, she also got a lot of things, she became the perfect existence that she yearned for.

Cuomo's servant spoke again at this time.

"His Royal Highness Liz!"

"Stop worrying about irrelevant people, you have more important things to do."

"This year's sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. In the past few years, you were unable to appear because of your deep sleep. This year, you should also show it in front of people." "You don't need to let everyone see you, you just need to accept the worship of mortals in the temple. "

Reminded by Cuomo, the girl looked at her own shadow in the mirror and gradually settled down.

I can no longer see the appearance of the washerwoman in the slums of the past, only a noble and holy witch with an indifferent expression remains.

"Yes, I am a witch."

"I'm not her anymore."

Komo Godservant: "Go, go and accept the cheers of the people, Your Highness the new witch."

After finishing her dressing up, the "Witch" put on a pendant emitting divine light, and sat on the seat beside the giant statue.

She watched the opening of the ceremony, and watched the noble and powerful man knelt outside waiting for her, and then bowed to her.

Even the king prostrated himself at his feet.

Everyone needs a witch.

The Temple of Thunder needs it, the kings and nobles need it, even this country needs it.

She heard cheers coming from below like waves. "His Royal Highness Sky Witch..."

A smile flowed from the corner of her mouth, but a tear flowed from the corner of her eye for some unknown reason.

She felt as if a big hole had opened in her heart, but a trickle of happiness flowed out from that hole, and more and more flowed out, even drowning her.

The blissful sweetness covered her head, so much that she couldn't breathe.

She opens her arms.

Feeling fulfilled, surrounded by happiness, she had it all.

She laughed and wiped away her tears, talking in her mouth.

"I am Witch Liz VIII."

Lilian woke up.

She opened her eyes, only to find that her eyelids were closed.

"What's wrong?"

She tried repeatedly to open her eyes, but even if she opened them to the maximum, she still couldn't see anything.

Only then did she realize that she had lost her vision in both eyes, and she couldn't see anything.

She turned her head to look around, but she faintly felt the heat around her.

Without eyes, she seems to be able to feel things in the dark that she couldn't feel before. She can't see light and darkness, but she can feel the rhythm of everyone's life.

Some are young, like torches.

Some are old, like candles.

She didn't panic, it seemed that there was nothing to scare her now.

She just got up and followed others. Although she couldn't see, she was still able to walk smoothly.

When she got out of the car, she heard someone shouting.

"It's time to stop."

"The Oriental Station of the Ten Thousand Snakes has arrived."

Only then did Lilian know that she had left Thunder Kingdom. She stood at a border station in another country, a place she had never been before, and watched hundreds of "fire of life" pass by her side.

She looked at her hands and her chest, as if she could also see the flames jumping.

She suddenly remembered what her elder brother said to herself at the end.

"Get out of here and don't come back."

"Be whoever you want to be!"

However, Lilian didn't know what kind of person she wanted to be.

She once longed to be a rich man and change her poor life.

she says.

I want to be a person who does not follow the rules, not a mediocre person.

But in the end, she just talked about wanting a change, and in the end, all she wanted was more to live happily with her siblings. She said she wanted to break the rules and not obey any order, but when she saw the rules being completely broken, she was the one who was most disturbed. She said that she would do anything to get something, but when she really lost everything, she cried and regretted it.

She is like a naive and impulsive child, bumping around without knowing where to go.

She didn't have an answer and didn't think about it anymore.

She decided to just go with the feeling.

next.

She walked among the various cities of the Ten Thousand Snakes Ruling Country, and then left the Ten Thousand Snakes Ruling Country to walk among various countries.

Since losing her vision, she can not only see the rhythm of human life.

She also seems to have acquired some other abilities.

She could always sense where it was going to rain and where the wind was going to pick up, knowing where the weather would drop and warm again. She can't see with her eyes, but she always seems to be able to see some strange pictures.

She can always look at the clouds in the sky from a strange perspective, see which way the wind is going, and see thunder and rain somewhere.

Not only that.

What's even more peculiar is that it seems that wherever she goes, it will rain, as if the rain clouds are chasing her.

And the rain will change according to her mood, from big to small.

Those places with a lot of rain don't like her, and some people even curse why the rain is always falling, and hate this dark and humid weather.

Therefore, she can't always stay in one place.

Because as long as she lives in one place for a long time, it seems that the sadness and darkness in her heart are passed on to everyone else.

But one day, she arrived in an arid region, and it was as if a whole new world had opened up.

Everyone here welcomes the rain and welcomes her warmly.

Lilian was very happy, so she stayed here for a while longer. But it's just staying for a while.

But in the following time, she would wander around these places most of the time. Sometimes she chose to come to the country of yellow sand, and sometimes she would walk on the northern wilderness.

She began to use her ability to walk in various places, bring rain to others, and guide others to plant crops. And when some serious astronomical disasters are about to happen, she will also remind the people around her and tell them to be prepared.

"There will be heavy rain tonight."

"It will be very windy tomorrow, you have to be prepared."

"Hail is coming in the afternoon."

"A cold snap is coming in a few days..."

She grew up little by little, from a girl to an adult woman, and gradually matured.

Wherever she went, her supernatural ability was amazed by people, and no one knew how she did it.

In these places, she is called like this: "Weather Prophet Lilian."

Later, it became: "Prophet Lilian."

Many people think that she is omniscient and can even predict, otherwise how can she know when it rains and when it thunders and winds so accurately?

She wandered around these places for many years, and many people even regarded her as the incarnation of a god.

After all, in the eyes of mortals, perhaps only the gods can control the celestial phenomena and predict the future.

Whenever she came, people in some cities and towns would even kneel to greet her, shouting the great prophet Lilian.

She felt it was a little ridiculous, she said to everyone. "I'm not great, and I'm not some kind of prophet."

However, no one believed what she said.

She could only stand outside the town, facing everyone's kneeling and yearning and mockingly said.

"I still haven't figured out what I really want, and how to choose when facing the road of life."

"I don't know anything about this path of life."

The eastern part of the country of yellow sand.

Lilian wandered here, she felt a little tired, so she looked for a place to stay temporarily.

She lives in a beautiful small farmyard, where a family of four lives together. Her father is a farmer, who leaves early and returns late every day, while her mother always weaves upstairs.

Listening to the sound of the weaving loom, Lilian didn't feel noisy, but felt very at ease.

However, the two children in the family don't like this small town very much, and they always want to leave here and go outside to do some "big business". While the two children were fighting, one of them ran in front of Lilian.

"Master Lilian, can you really predict the future?" "What kind of person will I become in the future? Will I become a big shot?"

"I don't know the future," Lillian said.

The child was a little disappointed, thinking that Lilian was unwilling to say, "Ah!"

Looking at the child, Lilian seemed to see her former self.

She suddenly asked the child: "If you are asked to give up something and do something you don't want to do in order to get something you want, would you be willing?"

The child said: "Hey, why is this, can't I have all of them?"

Lilian thought the same way when she was a child, but at this moment she shook her head.

"It's a pity that in this world, many times, you can't get it if you don't give up?"

"It's even a luxury to get something by giving something up."

"Most of the time we give up a lot and end up with nothing."

The child thought for a while, then said.

"In order to get what I want, I should give up some things and do things I don't want to do."

"But at least, some things cannot be given up, and some things can never be done!"

Lilian smiled wryly, but she felt very relieved. "You're smarter than me."

"However, once people start to give up something, they can't stop sliding towards the abyss."

"Staying true to one's heart is much more difficult than imagined!" She rubbed the child's head and raised the corners of her mouth.

"I hope you can do it!"

After Lilian talked with the child, she gradually recalled herself when she was a child, and suddenly remembered everything that she didn't want to remember in Thunder City.

She got up and looked into the distance, lost in memory.

"Maybe it's time to go back and take a look."

"Buzz buzz!"

As the propeller rotated, a fish-shaped mechanical creation passed through the clouds, and saw the boundless lake and cloud mountains in the distance.

And below, there are cities.

The monster in the cockpit turned his head back, and after knocking, a snake man inside stood up and reminded all the passengers present. She said loudly: "Get ready, we will arrive at the station soon."

Someone asked, "Where are you?"

Answer: "Next stop, Thunder City."

There is a silent woman in the back corner of the airship. Her figure looks mature and beautiful, but she is wearing a hat with black gauze covering her entire face.

She looked out the window without saying a word, watching the fish-like mechanical empty boat land on the high empty boat docking station, and looked at the hometown she had been away for a long time.

Twenty years after leaving her hometown, Lilian finally returned to Thunder City.

She looked down hard, and although she couldn't see anything, she could feel the familiar aura.

But when she walked down, she walked into the city.

But I feel that I don't recognize my hometown anymore.

"A lot of magic obelisks." She felt the fluctuation of that special power everywhere. Thunder City, which originally had only one magic obelisk column, has erected dozens of magic obelisks. Cities that have entered the magic net are also undergoing transformation with the arrival of the magic net era.

"Public magic crystal cars, there are also here." Lilian stood on the side of the road, listening to the sound of wheels rubbing against the track, and seeing the flames representing life riding on them, she knew what it was.

She felt one after another public magic crystal cars driven by the magic crystal power passing by the track on the spacious road. This thing was not available when she was a child. At that time, they had a second-hand magic crystal car in the south of the city. Steamboats are already very powerful, but now most people in the city can easily ride on this magic crystal prop.

She was walking slowly with a suitcase, as if she wanted to retrieve those childhood memories from this city.

The former city south pier has undergone earth-shaking changes. There are already a large number of magic crystal steamboats docked on the pier, and there are even magic crystal ironclad ships passing by, making violent jetting sounds.

The magic net has covered the entire city, and there are more magic crystal props that can support and drive it.

She passed by the wall of the former shipbuilding workshop, where she used to pass by with dirty clothes in her arms, and now she passed by again, and found that it had become a magic crystal car manufacturing workshop, but the noise of the workers was still there. As usual, it came out from the wall. She returned to the slum where she lived in the past, but everything here is the same as before, and there is not much change from twenty years ago, but their home is no longer their home, and there are not many familiar figures.

"People are gone!"

Until she heard someone distributing gospel tracts, shouting loudly. "Master Cuomo, the Chief God Attendant of Thunder Temple, distributed the Gospel to everyone for free..."

She just heard a familiar name and recalled something.

She looked at the person distributing the Gospel booklet, and suddenly thought of her dead second sister. At that time, she liked to receive this kind of booklet and take it home to read.

"Has Cuomo become chief?"

She came to the place where the former Yann Transportation Company was located. The small warehouse was still there, but the signboard had already been removed. The door was tightly closed, as if no one had rented it out for the time being, and there was no one inside.

Lilian looked around and found that there was no one outside. She cautiously approached the door of the warehouse, with a smirk on the corner of her mouth~lightnovelpub.net~ as if she had become that impulsive and courageous girl again. She took the stone and smashed the lock, and entered. But after entering it, after she groped for a while, her expression was a little strange.

"?"

She felt a little strange.

Many places here are the same as before, without much change.

She touched the table where her eldest brother lit the lamp every night to settle accounts, and also touched the lamp that he brought from home back then.

The makeshift bed in the corner was there too, and it was neatly made.

The secret grid hidden in the wall is still there, as are all the valuable items inside.

But after opening it, there was an old and yellowed gospel book inside, which said the day of the sacrificial ceremony of the reincarnation day of His Royal Highness Liz VII.

"Someone has kept this place and has been here?"

Lilian took out the old yellowed gospel book and touched it vigorously, with deep doubts on her face.
