old dream

Chapter 314 Natural Enemies
…………

…………

In the deep and lightless sleep, there was a faint sound of wind.

Gradually, Colin saw big red rivers again, and the breeze blowing from the valley still made people feel at ease.

He was stunned for a while before realizing that he had once again entered the Red River Valley in his sleep.

"It's been so long since you came here?"

Nancy's voice sounded directly next to her ears, and Colin turned around. She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Accidentally fell into a deep sleep." Colin said vaguely, still not quite sober.

"Let's go."

Nancy didn't dwell too much on this issue, after all, there were times when Colin was waiting for her.Her figure floated up and dived into the etheric layer above the valley first.

Colin followed closely, and the two ghosts continued to search for the distant star, the capital of the dream, in this frequency.

"Did the operation go well a few days ago?" Nancy didn't talk about her recent situation, but asked casually about the investigation department.

"There was an accident."

Speaking of business, Colin began to wake up.He sorted it out and briefly told Nancy what happened that night.

"Ok?"

Nancy seemed a little surprised by what Colin said, she opened her mouth, and then laughed silently.

"...Is it funny?" Colin was puzzled.

"It's nothing." Nancy said, "It just feels like you've changed a bit."

"Perhaps," said Colin, who was aware of it himself, but could not understand it.

"The you in the past should have struggled for a long time." Nancy continued:

"But in the end, you will use your reason to suppress everything and force yourself to make a seemingly safe and effective choice...but it will actually be a life-long painful choice."

"It sounds like you know me better than I do," said Colin.

"Otherwise," said Nancy.

After all, it has been monitored for so many years.

And many things are originally clear to the bystanders.

"You always think of yourself as too indifferent and too powerful..." She sighed and said:
"Be kinder to yourself in the future, Colin."

At this time, the clouds in the sky suddenly pressed down, like someone pouring a bucket of milk into clear water, and the wisps of cloud and mist were engulfed by some heavy thing and sank, and kept escaping to the surroundings.

Nancy looked up, put away her teasing tone, and said seriously:

"Here they come."

"Who?"

"...the Aboriginal people called it, 'the enemy of the sky.'"

natural enemy.

A gap was opened in the thick clouds, revealing a corner of their true faces.It was a piece of black skin, maybe it was black in the first place, or maybe because it completely blocked the light, it appeared as a huge black shadow.

The faintly visible outline resembles the open jaw of a whale, as if it is preying on something, slowly sliding through the clouds.

No, its speed is actually very fast, and the reason why it looks slow is only because it is too large.Even the wind in front of Colin was shaking, while the sound from afar was as dull as thunderclaps.

However, Nancy didn't seem to see this terrifying scene, but silently accelerated her speed again. In the dense and coherent ether network above the Red River, they, as spirit bodies, were like two parallel lightning bolts, so A split second later, the breach in the cloud was left far behind.

During this period, Colin looked back. Even at this distance, he could still vaguely feel the terrifying momentum brought by the "natural enemy".But since it directly stirred up the nearby wind and cloud, it meant that.

"...is that a purely physical creature?" he murmured incredulously.

It is also the aborigine of the Red River Valley, and the reason why it can overcome gravity and grow to such an astonishing size may follow the same principle as those rivers that flow countercurrently to the sky.

Fortunately, he didn't exist in this space in the form of a physical body, otherwise, Colin didn't know if he could survive the aftermath it caused.

"That should be the biggest one among the natural enemies." Nancy also looked back and said:
"I didn't expect to meet here...the villages within hundreds of kilometers are probably in danger."

She stopped and thought for a while:
"Today's progress may end here, and I will talk a little bit about the current situation."

"It is difficult to advance the theater ceremony for the time being, because the Grand Duke's people are already vigilant." Nancy said with a smile:

"So in the next period of time, you may not hear news of the successful assassination. But don't worry, because this is also expected, and the situation will be broken soon."

After saying these words, Nancy flickered away from the ether above the river.

"Where are you going?" Colin asked her from a distance.

"I want to send a message to several nearby aboriginal villages." Nancy looked at the broken clouds in the distance and said:
"The Enemy Has Appeared"

At the same time as she finished speaking, her figure had disappeared from the end of Colin's vision.

…………

In recent months, rumors have surfaced among the servants of the Garden Palace that the Grand Duke has become prone to forgetting things.

As if it was a sign of aging, Edmond's memory was fading little by little.It's not to the point of delaying important things, but some trivial things will always be forgotten, such as a name that a servant has said several times, or some small things that he himself explained.

Melita didn't quite believe these rumors at first, because it was hard to imagine that the shrewd and capable Grand Duke would grow old one day.

What's more, he is less than 50 years old.Except for the unlucky one who was sent to the guillotine by General Sylvanus, the average age of the previous Grand Dukes was 74 years old.Numerous servants and personal doctors took good care of his body, it would be too early to talk about aging now.

But now, Melita had to consider this rumor.Because, Edmund seemed to have forgotten about Mrs. Tuwana.

"...Oh...is that Otu woman?"

After being reminded by the working secretary next to him, the Grand Duke remembered who this foreign name represented.Melita half-kneeled in front of the luxurious oak desk, feeling that the pressure in her heart has been relieved a lot.

Because it will be forgotten, it means it is not important.

So my dereliction of duty, and even the subsequent deception, seemed insignificant.

Yes, for some reason that even Melita herself couldn't understand, she decided to hide what she saw with her own eyes that night.

Maybe she is really a jealous person, as the legend says.If the world finds out about the resurrected doll, she will lose the status she had so hard to regain on stage.

However, this is far from the whole reason for Melita to conceal the facts.

More thoughts, on the contrary, are like after a child discovers a treasure, he just wants to hide it and prevent it from being discovered by anyone again.

After the eye contact in the rainy night, a primitive and ignorant emotion slowly sprouted in Melita's heart.
