Chapter 6 Chapter 6 People who wake up

Mount Lunaxio, located in the north of the royal capital and about half a day away on horseback, was completely shrouded in damp and dense mist. In the winter wind, even wearing a fur jacket can still feel the biting cold.Zhou Yilang and Dameng did not wear the costumes of the Caladova Kingdom, but asked to change into the usual sweater, jeans and sneakers, so they added a fur coat to that attire and came here. Since neither Zhou Yilang nor Duo Meng could ride a horse, they sat behind the knight respectively and were carried forward by the knight.At the entrance of the mountain, just as Charpino's beloved horse stopped in the lead, a strange cry suddenly came from the depths of the mountain.Like a bird, like an ape, like a lion.Hearing this sound, the chirping of the birds stopped in an instant.

"What's that sound?" "Chiandronus, guardian of Mount Lunasio." Zhou Yilang asked a question in simple Caladovan, and the translator sitting behind the knight immediately asked Charpino, and then answered in a written conversation mixed with Caladovan. "Chiandronus?" After listening to Charbino's explanation, the translator explained to Zhou Yilang with written conversation.It seems to be a beast raised by a witch, the purpose is to drive away people who approach the mountain and block intruders. "The beast..." Charpino dismounted.Zhou Yilang and the translator rely on their own strength, while Duomeng is dismounted by the knight.The soil at the feet was almost completely covered by fallen leaves, and it was full of moisture from the fine mist, making it quite damp.

According to Charbino, no one seems to have ever seen Chiandronus.Because, it is said that no one who has seen its true face can come back alive.Because of this, perhaps the rumors were too exaggerated, Chiandronus was described as a bird with a huge body like a bear, wings like a bat, and a snake tail, with a lion-like body hidden in a sharp beak. tusks.Anyone who steps into the mountain will be pecked and chewed by it.In addition, it has sharp claws on both feet, and even a grizzly bear can tear apart with one palm. "Mr. Zhou..." Duomeng became more frightened the more he listened, so he held Zhou Yilang tightly.

"Oh, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Charpino, who said something like that, smiled brightly. "Miss Duomeng, Mr. Follower, if you are indeed fairy goddesses and messengers, then the witches of Lunaxio Mountain will never make things difficult for you, and of course they will not release Chiandronus, so There is nothing to be afraid of, right? Please rest assured." As soon as Charpino finished speaking, the translator immediately mixed in written words to convey the meaning. All in all, as long as Zhou Yilang and the others are fairies or messengers in this world, there should be nothing to worry about...

"Just aim for the top of the mountain." Charbino said through the interpreter. The moment the fog dissipated, the top of the tall and sharp mountain was clearly visible. "That's the end of my guidance. Because if I don't have a relationship with the fairy goddess, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to continue. Please, from here on, I invite Miss Duomeng to advance alone." The reason why a fierce general like Charpino showed an unusually hearty smile was probably to hide his fear of this mountain. "Which way should I go?" Although the road ahead could be seen, but in the dense fog, the situation beyond one meter was invisible.To Zhou Yilang who asked if there was a map in a written conversation, Charpino replied with a smile that there was no such thing.Probably because no one ever came back alive.Seeing Zhou Yilang whose expression turned uneasy, the man laughed loudly again.

"I heard that this mountain will automatically open a path for the people it welcomes. And this path should have appeared in front of your eyes by now. Don't worry. Please go." After speaking these words through the interpreter, Charbino turned his horse's head and left the scene with the guards and the interpreter.The sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared beyond the thick fog. "Even if it's unpopular, we can only move forward and have a look." It turned out to be no different than being dropped here anyway.Zhou Yilang sighed, the fog did not seem to dissipate.

"Mr. Zhou..." Hearing the high-pitched and terrifying birdsong from the depths of the fog, Duomeng couldn't help cuddling Yi Yilang tightly in fear.Zhou Yilang gently put his arms around Duomeng's shoulders, and stepped out in the fog. "Is it lost, or is it moving forward without confusion?" It must have been about thirty minutes since I climbed this slope.The fog was still thick, and everything in the field of vision was almost covered by the white fog.The broken flashlight is still stuffed in the pocket of the jeans, but unfortunately it has never been repaired and is still in a malfunctioning state.If it is repaired, it should be useful in this thick fog.The road they were walking tremblingly seemed to have been walked by someone before. Since the visibility was only about one step, they had to take a step forward before they could see what the next road would look like. They just walked to this place step by step.Although the surroundings are completely invisible, there is a pungent green smell mixed in the dense mist and moisture.And every time you take a step, when the fog is rippling, you can still vaguely see the trunk of the giant tree located in the corner of the field of vision.They should be in the woods deep in the mountains.

"Should we be welcome?" While walking forward side by side holding hands tightly, Duomeng raised his head and asked. "I don't know either. It's just that this road seems to be guiding us bit by bit." "Then, are we really the Goddess Goddess and her messengers, and came to this world for a certain purpose?" "It should be like this. However, I don't know, and I don't know how to say it." Things just happened naturally.Zhou Yilang didn't like the word fate.He didn't want to attribute everything to fate.He will do his best within the scope of what he can do and within the scope of his ability.

"Mr. Zhou, you can hear the sound of water." "real." Listening intently, the sound of gurgling water seems to be heard on the left.The moment he looked over there, only the fog in the vicinity suddenly brightened. "It's a river! There's a river!" On the other side where the fog dissipated, at a place about ten meters away, a clear river gurgled by, causing a slight sound of water. "Is the road leading us? Let's go and see." Feeling that the soles of their feet seemed to be covered with wet leaves, the two of them headed towards the sound of water. At this moment, an extremely huge black shadow, about three times bigger than Zhou Yilang's outstretched arms, followed the high-pitched With a chirping sound, they swooped down from the air in front of Zhou Yilang's eyes, his body was like a bear and his tail was like a snake covered with scales.

Suddenly, the giant bird with bat wings and snake tail landed on the branch above Zhou Yilang's head and asked them questions from there. "Who are you?" "That bird can talk!" The two heard the sound of a strange bird.The chirping sounded when it came flying sounded quite high-pitched, but the voice of the speech was very low, as if it came from the depths of the abdomen, no, it was almost like the voice sounded directly in the mind.The so-called telepathy is probably this kind of feeling. "Are you Chiandronus?" "I am the one asking. Who are you?"

The beak of the bird-like creature didn't move, and the voice came directly from the minds of the two of them.Moreover, the bird's eyes exuded a kind of sage-like light. "Quickly answer, who are you?" "My name is Bai Chuan Zhou Yilang." "I'm Shirakawa Tammon." Answering with sound seems to work. "For what purpose did you set foot on this mountain?" For a moment, Zhou Yilang found it difficult to answer, he didn't know how to explain to make the other party understand.After thinking about it for a while, he decided to tell everything truthfully in order. "We want to know whether there are really so-called fairies in this world, and what mission we have come to this world to confirm these." "Confirm? In this case, it's good to confirm." "Can you confirm? How to do it?" Before Zhou Yilang had time to ask back, Chiandronus uttered a sharp cry while flapping its huge wings.In this way, the surrounding fog quickly dissipated in an instant. The road appeared.There is a five-story hut on the top of the steep mountain, and what you are stepping on is the only road leading to the hut.There is only less than 500 meters left, as long as they can reach the hut along the road, they will probably be approved. "Then go ahead." The green eyes of Chiandronus looked down at Zhou Yilang and the two of them in the air. What will happen?He didn't think the road would be smooth and unhindered. "Mr. Zhou..." Duomeng, who looked restless, tightly grabbed Yi Yilang's sweater. "Let's go." Zhou Yilang took Duomeng's hand and started to move forward. At this moment, Chiandronus took a deep breath, and blew the slightly blue breath towards Zhou Yilang and Duomong.That breath didn't have the stinky smell of a living thing, but an unexpected, sweet flower-like scent wafting from it. "Little girl, your name is Duomeng, right?" Holding hands with Zhou Yilang, before taking three steps forward, suddenly, the voice of an old woman appeared in Duomeng's mind. "who is it?" Duomeng looked around, but couldn't see any old woman at all.She felt that the voice appeared directly in her mind, probably the voice of the old witch who lived in Mount Lunaxio. "Shh, don't make a sound. Listen to me quietly." "What's wrong, dreamy?" Looking around at Duomeng on the left and right, he stared at Zhou Yilang with an incredulous expression.It seems that Zhou Yilang didn't seem to hear that voice. "Oh, nothing." After answering, Duomeng listened intently to the old woman. "Are you ready? Listen carefully. Besides, you must not say what I want to say, and you are not allowed to make a sound. You must not let your uncle know. Be quiet and listen to me carefully." "Next, a cliff will appear in front of you. At that time, Chiandronus will push your uncle down." what!Duomeng, who couldn't help but want to scream, swallowed her voice in a panic. "You must not reveal this to your uncle." "But, but, Mr. Zhou, he..." Duo Meng asked the old woman a question in her heart. "Even so, I still can't say it. Otherwise, Chiandronus will push the two of you to the bottom of the valley together." "So, what should I do?" "Then it's up to you. When you reach the edge of that cliff, let your uncle fall. For this mountain of witches, only one person is allowed to enter. However, maybe you will prevent it from happening." Maybe. Keep your uncle from falling. However, even if you save your uncle, there is only one person who can enter the Witch Mountain. You should understand what this means?" There was a choked sound in Duomeng's throat. "Do you want to save your uncle?" Duomeng nodded in her heart. "In this case, you can't tell your uncle. Then, you can try it according to your own ideas." "Mr. Zhou..." Tears seemed to come out of her eyes, she must save Mr. Zhou.But, in this way... Will she never be able to see Mr. Zhou again?Why can't we be together forever?Thinking of this, Duomeng felt a stabbing pain in his chest.However, if Mr. Zhou can avoid death, then such a choice is still worthwhile. The cliff ahead gradually appeared in the field of vision.Duomeng stopped and stood completely still. "You can't stop." She heard the old woman's voice in her head. "If you stop, Chiandronus will kill you both." Duomeng gritted her teeth, took a trembling step, and started to move forward again. "Dream, what's wrong with you?" To Zhou Yilang, who was concerned and inquiring, Duomeng responded with a cheerful smile that had nothing to do with it.Never let Mr. Zhou know. Immediately to the edge of the cliff, the moment of separation is approaching step by step.However, Duomeng thought—— (I must protect Mr. Zhou.) (When Chiandronus attacks, I must save him.) The fear and tension in her heart made her heart beat wildly, and the moment of separation was getting closer and closer.The grief of that moment, and the fear of facing death, brought her close to tears. Finally, they came to the edge of the cliff. She heard Chiandronus beating his wings. "Mr. Zhou, run away!" Chiandronus swooped down with sharp claws in the sky, Duomeng pushed Mr. Zhou away from the scene. "Goodbye, Mr. Zhou..." "Dreams?" Pushed by Chiandronus' claws, Duomeng's body flew into the air and fell to the bottom of the valley. Feeling the severe pain in the body, Duomeng opened his eyes. "Is this the bottom? Am I dead? Ah!" Looking around, Duo Meng let out a scream of surprise. "Mr. Zhou!" Mr. Zhou fell beside her, and red liquid was oozing from his chest. "Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou! What to do? Mr. Zhou, what happened, what happened to you?" He should be the only one who fell down.Why is Mr. Zhou here?Moreover, this is not the bottom of the valley at all, but above the cliff.She has indeed fallen. Duomeng pressed Mr. Zhou's wound with his hands, desperately trying to take care of the wound.Zhou Yilang asked him: "Duomeng, are you okay?" Then he showed a reassuring expression. "What happened?" Duomeng's body has no abnormalities at all!The person who fell was obviously dreamy, so why was Zhou Yilang injured instead? From a tall tree Chiandronus looked down at the chaotic Dreaming with icy green eyes. Just after Chiandronus blew the slightly blue breath towards Yi Yilang and Duo Meng, when the old woman's voice sounded in Duo Meng's head, on the other hand, Yi Yi Lang also heard the voice of the old woman in his mind. A woman's voice. "Chiandronus will attack your niece." "what?" "Hush, don't make a sound. Only one person is allowed to enter this mountain of witches. Therefore, one of you must die, and that's how it is." The voice in my mind told Zhou Yilang the same thing that I told Duomeng.It’s just that the positions of Duomeng and Zhou Yilang are reversed here, saying that the person Chiandronus wants to kill is Duomeng, and he also threatens not to tell Duomeng about the matter, otherwise Chiandronus will tell him the truth. The two killed together. If Zhou Yilang dies, Duomeng can be saved, and of course Zhou Yilang chooses to save Duomeng.However, unlike Duomeng, Yi Yilang not only wants to save Duomeng, but also intends to keep himself alive.He sacrificed himself in order to save Duomeng, and left indelible pain in Duomeng's heart. He didn't want such an ending.Zhou Yilang decided to take action after careful consideration. In addition to saving Duomeng, he also wanted to defeat Chiandronus. "What a dream, run away!" Zhou Yilang, who was pushed down by Duomeng, picked up the stone beside him and threw it towards Chiandronus who stretched out his sharp claws.However, the stone disappeared out of nowhere before Chiandronus's eyes, and Zhou Yilang's chest was scratched by sharp claws instead. Chiandronus, flapping its huge wings, circled in the air, just as it was about to further attack Zhou Yilang. "Wait, Chiandronus!" A sharp voice came from the top of the mountain, not from the head, but the sound that was actually heard from the ears.Just like that, Chiandronus withdrew his claws, flapped his giant wings, left Zhou Yilang and the other two, flew to a tall tree, and perched on a thick branch. Suddenly, an old woman appeared in front of Duomeng.Although the blue eyes are sharp, she is an old woman with white hair and a sense of intimacy everywhere.A white woolen shawl was draped over the plain beige thin dress.Her appearance is translucent, making Duomeng feel as if she is looking at a subject image. "Both of you are qualified." The old woman spoke in Japanese. "qualifications?" While taking care of the injured Zhou Yilang, Duomeng stared at the old woman like a stare. "I'm sorry for the trial. I'm Malfisa, the witch who lives in this mountain. What you see in front of me is a magical image. It's like a mirage." "Witch? Malfisa? Trial?" "That's right. Take a test to see if you are suitable for entering this mountain. I'm really sorry, but the man's injury, I will help him heal as soon as possible. Please ride Chiandolonus, Chiandolo Nous! Let those two go up, and bring them here." Chiandronus flew up to Dameng and landed. "Mr. Zhou, take heart." Under Duomeng's call, Zhou Yilang only pressed his chest and moaned. "The claws of Chiandronus are poisonous, and it is impossible not to treat them immediately. I am really sorry. But those who cannot die for each other cannot enter this mountain. You two protect each other. The opponent, so I passed. But I didn't expect him to attack Chiandronus in turn, so I was a little late to stop him and hurt him. I'm sorry. I will heal him immediately, hurry up and ride Go to Chiandronus." It seems that as long as you ride that strange bird, you can be carried to the hut on the top of the mountain.The coldness in Chiandronus' eyes has disappeared, replaced by overflowing gentleness and kindness.However, relying on his petite Duomeng power alone, he couldn't lift Yi Yilang's body onto the huge bird's back. At this moment, the wings of Chiandronus suddenly turned into giant black hands, picked up Yi Lang's body, put it gently on his back, and then placed Duo Meng beside Yi Lang.The giant hand turned back into wings, and Chiandronus flapped his huge wings with a high-pitched cry, and his giant body flew in the air. "Please come here, you are Duomeng and Zhou Yilang, I'm waiting for you." Chiandronus flew in a straight line towards the triangular house visible from the top of the hill in the direction of the sound. The current home of Dommon is the House of the Witches, a five-story building made of stone and wood on top of a hill. This is a triangular building with greatly sloping roofs on the left and right sides almost touching the ground.You can tell at a glance that it is a structure designed to prevent heavy snow. Duomeng is currently in the central room on the second floor.Through the foggy windows, flakes of snow could be seen just beginning to fall.However, it was very warm in this room due to the huge red flames burning in the fireplace. "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou." Under Duo Meng's call, Yi Lang, who was lying on the bed by the fireplace, just groaned. The ones taking care of Ichiro are the witches of Mount Lunaxio—Ruby Stella, Sapphire Starville, and Emerald Alantilla of the Valnera clan.All three were girls around sixteen or seventeen years old, and each wore a gemstone ring that matched their own names. Ruby Roger Stella is a beautiful girl with fair skin, dark brown hair that reaches to her waist almost black, and black eyes that exude a youthful temperament. Sapphire Starwell, who was slightly shorter than Ruby Rosetella, had brown hair.The dark blue eyes are full of intelligence, wisdom and gentleness. Emerald Arantilla, who was about half a head taller than Rosestella, had her golden-brown hair tied into a ponytail behind her head. She was a girl with lively green eyes and rosy cheeks. "Mr. Zhou..." The great-grandmother of the three witches, Malfisa, with the assistance of the three great-granddaughters, opened the wound on Yi Yilang's chest with a well-burned knife, wiped it several times with a clean cloth, and put Chiandoronu on the ground. The poison of Si's claws is removed.The blood oozing from the wound was stopped by Duomeng's pressure with a clean cloth. If Mr. Zhou died like this... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed tears.No, Mr. Zhou is a strong man, and he won't die because of this little injury.Duomeng forced himself to be firm in his determination. "By the way, what's the boy's name?" Looking at Duomeng who was desperately holding Zhou Yilang's wound, Malfisa's eyes narrowed. "Her name is Duomeng. She is the niece of Mr. Zhou Yilang." For some reason, it was Aranti who came forward to answer.Although this conversation was in Caladovan, it was quite simple, so Duomeng could understand it.It seems that Malfisa is the only one who can understand Japanese, and Arundilla and others seem to be unable to speak it.However, they all tried their best to talk to Duomeng in simple Caladovan, and only used written conversations when they couldn't communicate at all. "Both of them came to this world through the gate opened by the globe, right?" Although Alantilla could understand about 80% of the Kaladovan language, the meaning of this sentence was guessed by her.Alan Tilla's words made Duomeng nod inconceivably, she didn't remember saying this, could it be that she knew it because she was a witch? "No, it's not like that. It's because of the child's strength." Malfisa said in Caladovan. "Miss Dreamy's power?" Alan Tilla was full of doubts. "I don't see that much. No, I can't see it." "Is Mr. Zhou saved?" Dameng asked Malfisa who was sitting next to her in Japanese.Malfisa hugged Tammon's head tenderly, and then she spoke to Tammon in Japanese. "Don't worry, the poison has been wiped clean, and the depth of the wound is not fatal. Besides, no matter what, as long as he has your power, he will be saved." "my power?" "That's right, as long as you have your magic power, you can definitely save it." "My magic?" This was a bolt from the blue for Duomeng. "Did you say I have magic? What kind of magic? Is it really me?" "Why, didn't you notice? Your hand." "hand?" Duo Mengzai stared carefully at his hands pressing Yi Yilang's wound. "In Caladovan's language, if the word healing is written in the words bestowed by the fairy goddess, it is 'treatment'." Malfisa wrote to Duomeng with the pen and paper at hand. "In our world...that's actually a country called Japan, and it's also called treatment. Usually, if you have a stomachache or some pain, you will naturally press your hands on the painful place." "That's it. When it hurts, I press it with my hand, because the power that promotes healing is gathered in the hand. As long as I press it with my hand, the pain will be relieved, right?" "yes." "There is healing power gathered in your hand, which is also a kind of magical power. And your power seems to be quite strong." "I……" Duomeng stared at his hand again. "How, do you want to practice with me?" "Practice?" "That's right, practicing as a witch." "Witch?" Duomeng never thought that she had the talent to become a witch. "Can I use magic too?" "Hey, isn't there magic in your country, that place called Japan?" "No." Duomeng shook his head. "It's really strange, don't you feel peaceful and peaceful because you hold someone's hand?" "Peace and serenity from holding hands? Yes, but..." "Isn't that what it is? This is indeed magic." "Is that considered magic?" "Yes, it's magic." Malfisa smiled.The pain on Zhou Yilang's face disappeared unconsciously, and his breathing became quite steady and regular. Duomong possesses a quality that Roger Stella and the others do not have. It is the most important thing for a witch, and it would be a pity to bury it. "Do I have the most important thing for a witch?" "That's right. The powers of those children are all destructive, but your power is completely opposite. It is a power that can heal and create." "The power to create?" "There are quite a lot of people with destructive power, but there are not many people with creative power. Although girls should have the ability to produce and create." Malfisa stared piercingly at her three great-granddaughters.The three people who were busy circling around in order to treat Zhou Yilang's injury were startled and slightly shrugged their shoulders. "Creative power like you is exactly the goal that magic should pursue. Oh, what a dream, you seem very troubled. Is there any trouble?" Malfisa noticed that Duomeng seemed to be fidgeting and fidgeting. "Ah, this, because our world has no magic at all, so..." "So, do you hate magic?" "No, how could it be? On the contrary, I never thought that I would have such great power, so I was overly surprised for a while." "Such an amazing power? That is the power that everyone has more or less. In your world, isn't there also healing?" "Yes. But healing is the job of doctors, using medicine and science." "Medicine and science? In your world, can something called science solve all the problems in your world?" "Yes..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Duomeng shook his head in denial. "No, some things still can't be resolved." "Magic is not omnipotent." "Are all these things created to make up for the shortcomings of their respective worlds?" "What a clever boy. I like you more and more... just wait for me." Malfisa stood up from the chair leaning on her crutches and walked into the next room. After a while, she came back with a small box in her hand.Looking at the great-grandmother who was wobbling and walking unsteadily, Arundilla hurried over to support her.During this time, Duomeng continued to hold Zhou Yilang's wound through the cloth. "Put this on and see." Malfisa opened the small box in the velvet bag, and inside was a beautiful citrine ring.Malfisa handed it to Duomeng. "Are you going to give me this?" Under Malfisa's persuasion, Duomeng put the citrine ring on the middle finger of his left hand.The silver ring was obviously too big, but the moment he put it on, Duomeng immediately screamed "Ah", because the ring automatically shrunk instantly and became just the right size. "How, do you like this ring?" Duomeng was puzzled when asked this question, she had never worn any gems.But even Duomeng, who doesn't know how to appreciate it, can tell that this is a rare boutique, and the excessively gorgeous and dazzling brilliance doesn't seem to be commensurate with him. "Do you not like it?" "No, it's just a little too flashy for me." "Really? But, you are really the most suitable person for this ring. This ring seems to like you very much!" "The ring likes me?" "Yes. Doesn't it come to just the right size? Because the ring doesn't want to slip off your finger." "ring?" Duomeng stared at the ring, full of doubts in his heart. "There is a mysterious power in the jewel of that ring. It is the magical power accumulated bit by bit by our witch ancestors wearing it on their fingers. My great-granddaughters also wear different powers. What about the mysterious gem?" Roger Stella wears a ruby ​​on her left middle finger, Stawell wears a sapphire, and Arantella has an emerald on her hand. "His name is Mr. Zhou, right? Try it, use your ring-wearing hand to cover your important uncle's wound." Duomeng stretched out his hand to Zhou Yilang who was lying on the bed. "Meditate in my heart, I want to cure him, and hope he recovers soon." Let Mr. Zhou get well soon, please. Then, Duomeng's hand began to emit a warm pale golden light, although it was only a faint light. "The vitality in Mr. Zhou will be supported by your thoughts." "Hands are hot." "Because your hand is carrying Mr. Zhou's vitality. Mr. Zhou must also feel your warmth." As Malfisa said, at this moment Zhou Yilang also felt a warmth like body temperature appearing on the wound.The warmth eased his pain gradually. "Why didn't the wound heal? Isn't it cured immediately?" However, Zhou Yilang's wound did not heal dramatically and quickly, no matter how many times he was covered.However, the swelling of the wound seemed to subside slightly, and the blood seeping into the white cloth seemed to have stopped. "That depends on your future practice level." "Can't it be cured immediately?" There were tears in Duomeng's eyes. "Don't worry. A small injury like this won't kill you. Besides, besides magic, we also have something called medicine." At this time, Malfisa suddenly switched from Japanese to Caladovan. "Staywell, go to the pharmacy and get the purple jar. Alantilla, Roger Stella, you guys go prepare it too." Under the instructions of her great-grandmother, Sapphire Starwell walked out of the room, and a few minutes later, she came back with a cyan jar that she could hold in her hand.During this time, Arundilla wiped the wound for Ichiro with a cloth soaked in boiling hot water and wrung out vigorously, while Roger Stella tore the clean cloth into a bandage and prepared it. "The swelling should be completely subsided tomorrow morning. The wound will heal in less than three days, and then you can get up and move around. Before that, you have to change the medicine three times a day, first apply this medicine and then replace it bandage." Duomeng, who took the potion from Malfisa, looked up at the old witch and asked her questions. "Then...in addition to applying medicine, will it get better faster if I cover it with my hands?" The old witch laughed.Eyes that usually shone sharply were buried in deep wrinkles. "That's right. It usually takes about five days to get out of bed and walk around, but judging by your current strength, it might be cured in about three to three and a half days." "Thank you! Thank you for your guidance, I will give it a try." Looking at Duomeng who was nodding vigorously, the old witch's eyes sank deeper in the wrinkles. With the help of Roger Stella and others, Duomeng gave Zhou Yilang medicine, then sat down on the chair next to Zhou Yilang's bed, and covered the wound with her left hand wearing the ring. Never stopped. The next day, Zhou Yilang woke up, and the next day, he was able to sit up and drink soup on the bed. Then, the next day, as Malfisa expected, Zhou Yilang recovered to the point where he could stand and walk. "Great-grandmother, do we also have the same power as Duomeng? Or do we no longer have it?" Looking at Duomeng who was desperately taking care of Zhou Yilang, Roger Stella raised a question.She learned from Malfisa that Dameng has the ability to heal, and if they also have that power, they can help injured people like Dameng.Especially when Master Fabiang was injured, it must be of great help. "Let's do it like this. Maybe it would be a good idea for you to practice with that child." The witch of Mount Lunacio smiled at her great-granddaughters and girls from another world. "It seems that I haven't seen that stern great-grandmother smile for a long time." Alan Dela said with a smile. "The child named Duomeng may have the ability to soothe the soul of great-grandmother." Roger Stella smiled. "Maybe it's magic too." Starwell also smiled. "Maybe it's true." The three witches just laughed together. "Rodestella, Arundilla, Starwell, it's almost time for Master Fabian to wake up. Go get ready first." "Master Fabiang..." "Wake up!" Upon hearing the call of their great-grandmother Malfisa, the three witches immediately stood up from their chairs and hurriedly separated to make preparations. An iron block like a huge lion ran towards this direction.As if hearing the sound of thunder, the stone statue beside Fabiang shattered and turned into dust the next moment.A strong wind mixed with stone fragments hit suddenly, and the pain piercing through his whole body made Fabiang groan. Countless soldiers and people were lying on the ground bleeding. "Cheer up! Be sure to support me!" Ignoring that he was also bleeding, enduring the pain, Fabiang picked up the person who fell at his feet!It was a woman with a young child in her arms.The woman passed away after entrusting the child in her arms to Fabian. Fabian turned his gaze to the child in his hand, and found that the child was already dead with scars. A strange black bird that has never been seen before appeared in the sky, flying with a rumbling sound.Then there was a regular sound of moaning, moaning, moaning, and I realized how the bird could emit sparks, and immediately saw the people fleeing in front of me falling down one by one. As far as the eye could see, countless people fell down, and the green grass was dyed bright red. "What's going on here? What's going on here?" Under the intertwined emotions of anger, sadness, and despair, Fabiang shouted loudly. 雷声般的声音再次轰然响起，大地开了个大洞，尘烟像柱子般高高地耸入云霄。 灰蒙蒙的砂尘平息之时，倒在血泊里的人们不分兵、民、男女、老幼，几乎足以将整个大地淹没。 "Stop! Stop it!" 法比昂对着铁块咆哮。然而，像是根长长棒子的什么东西，却直直地瞄准了他。 "stop!" 叫喊传达不到，不知什么东西喷出了火花，沉重巨大的团块在雷声中破风前进，正对着法比昂飞来。尽管背后有许多人在保护着他，但法比昂仍然感受到死之觉悟而不知不觉地闭上眼睛。强烈的冲击穿透法比昂的全身，接着他感觉到自己的身体化为碎片，意识在黑暗之中慢慢坠落。 “法比昂少爷，法比昂少爷！” 听见不知从何处传来的呼唤，法比昂缓缓地睁开眼睛。 “法比昂少爷，您醒了吗？” 眼前是一双忧心忡忡的黑色眸子。 “啊，萝洁丝缇拉，是你吗？” 身体下方是床铺，不是泥土，四周并没有尸体，这是一个升着温暖炉火的房间。 “那么，刚才那些是梦吗？” “您刚才做了梦吗？肯定是个噩梦。” “是啊。我做了个既奇妙又可怕的梦……” 确实是栩栩如生极为逼真，他的全神都被冷汗浸得湿淋淋的。 “梦？或许是梦，但也有可能并不是梦。” “不是梦？” “是的。我们也都看见了，法比昂少爷。” 法比昂看见站在萝洁丝缇拉身后的亚兰蒂拉和丝妲薇尔。 “你们几个也……梦见了那个可怕的铁兽之梦吗？” “铁兽？不，我们三个人的梦并不相同，我们各自都做了奇妙的梦。关于梦的事情，待会再说吧。” “也好……对了，现在是什么时候？早上吗？我觉得自己好像睡了很久似的，应该已经过了中午对吧？我睡过头了吗？” “说到早上，现在的确是早上……不过，您大概是忘了吧，法比昂少爷。现在是第十年的早上呢。” “第十年？是啊，确实如此。我喝了醉梦酒，进入长眠之中了呀。原来，我已经睡了那么长的一段时间……” “是的，曾祖母让我们几个提早三天醒过来先做好准备，以便迎接法比昂少爷的苏醒。” 被冤枉定罪、逐出宫廷的法比昂，在萝洁丝缇拉等人的曾祖母，也就是这座山的主人女巫玛尔菲莎的建议之下，和三个女巫一起进入长久的沉睡。 “从那一天算起，已经过了九年一个月又两天。” 比起沉睡之前苍老了不少的玛尔菲莎，从三个女巫身后拄着拐杖出现，恭谨地走到法比昂的身旁。 “九年……” 法比昂在萝洁丝缇拉的搀扶之下，从床上抬起上半身坐了起来。大概是刚做了一个过度强烈的梦，所以他整个头都昏沉沉的。 “法比昂少爷，醉梦酒的效力仍然残留在你的身体里面，请把这个喝下去。” 在亚兰蒂拉的劝诱之下，法比昂将玻璃杯里的绿色浓稠液体一饮而尽。随着液体流入胃中，仿佛是利用强烈的苦味将身体彻底唤醒一样，一阵清爽的感觉在体内蔓延开来。 “好残酷的梦。那个梦究竟有什么涵意呢？你们几个也做了梦是吗？” “是的。我梦到一个来自别的世界，名叫枫子的女性。”萝洁丝缇拉说。 “这名女性企图侵略我们的世界。” “侵略……这么说，我所做的梦就是那些人的侵略场面吗？” 过去，三个女巫曾经事先做过亚斯图鲁弗四世的崩逝之梦。当时法比昂猜想，假如那是正梦的话，事情也许即将会发生也说不定。但尽管如此，法比昂却无法采取任何行动，以致于眼睁睁地看着亚斯图鲁弗四世死去。这次这个逼真的梦境也是一样，是个即将会发生的预知梦境。法比昂的内心相当确信。 “我所梦到的是名叫多梦和周一郎的两个其他世界的人，因为受到这边世界的呼唤，所以来到了这个世界，为人们治疗病痛的情况。”亚兰蒂拉说道。 “多梦、周一郎？” “是的。这位就是多梦。” 亚兰蒂拉推着站在她身后看着一切的多梦的背，让她站到法比昂的面前。 多梦身上穿着据说是亚兰蒂拉的旧衣服，一件淡金黄色的洋装。“您好，法比昂先生，我是多梦。”多梦恭敬地以卡拉多瓦语寒暄。 “我的舅舅周一郎，目前因为受伤，所以还在休息当中。”她把周一郎的事情也顺便报告了。 这个时候，多梦才明白，为何亚兰蒂拉在她们初次见面之时，就知道他们是从大门而来的理由，原来她早就梦见了。 “多梦小姐，你好，我是法比昂，别那么拘谨，称呼我法比昂就行了。” 法比昂说完之后，多梦慌张地向他行礼。 紧接着，从亚兰蒂拉的眼神里接受到继续话题的讯息，丝妲薇尔开始说话。 “我所梦见的是在我们沉睡的这段期间，卡拉多瓦以及整个大陆所发生之事。卡拉多瓦王国在不久之前，已经并吞了帕得拉翁大公国。” “什么？那个帕得拉翁吗？” “是的，那个叫做君特兰姆的男人，在九年的准备之下终于获得成功！而且还并吞了另外的两个小国。除此之外，我还梦到即将降临在卡拉多瓦三王子身上的恐怖阴谋之梦。” “是吗？详细情况待会再说吧。眼前我最担心的是，卡拉多瓦国民们现在的生活如何？是否因为连年征战而苦不堪言呢？” “好的。关于这点，目前不仅没有饥荒，比较起来，国民的生活反而更为富庶。那个君特兰姆在施政方面的手腕似乎相当干练。” 丝妲薇尔对君特兰姆这个人并无好感。但是，在这九年的时间里，由于他的施政而使得国民们更富裕更幸福这一点，她却无法不认同。然而丝妲薇尔始终有个感觉，那就是，君特兰姆之所以施行德政，并非出自于他对国民的关心。 “是吗？卡拉多瓦是幸福的吗？” 法比昂一边喃喃自语，一边下床站了起来。虽然有些摇晃不稳，不过双脚并未忘记如何行走。 挂在墙壁上的镜子里所映照出来的影像，和九年前、进入沉睡之前的自己并没有什么两样。只不过，胡须和头发确实长长了不少。 “您一定饿了，先吃点东西吧。”玛尔菲莎说道。 “吃饱之后，热水也差不多准备好了。等您好好地把睡了九年的疲惫都消除之后，接着再把头发和胡须修剪一下。” “嗯，就这么办吧。真是太感谢你了，对我如此照顾。” “哪里，都是些小事而已，无须放在心上。未来还有更重要的责任，等着法比昂少爷去承担呢。” “说得也是。可是，凭我一人之力能够做些什么呢……” 想起梦境，法比昂重重地叹了一口气。 “我想，这位多梦，和法比昂少爷即将要从事的事情肯定具有相当密切的关系，而且这个小女孩的舅舅周一郎，也一定是个能够帮助法比昂少爷之人。” 玛尔菲莎把手搭在多梦的肩膀上说话。 “是吗？那么，在周一郎先生醒来的时候，可得让我第一个去跟他打声招呼才行。” 在法比昂的温和笑容之下，不知怎地，多梦的脸颊竟然发烫了起来。
