old dream

Chapter 365 Two Long Roads
"Now, is it convenient to go to the Red River Valley?" After a while, Ke Lin suddenly asked.

Nancy was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but quickly nodded and replied:
"of course can."

To go specifically to the Red River Valley is to have something really important to say.Therefore, Nancy's expression became a little more serious.

Eight days had passed since the incident at Gallo Hall, and she had not once asked what had happened there.This does not mean that Nancy is ignorant of the mutation in Colin, it is impossible for Nancy to be so dull.The reason why he didn't take the initiative to speak was just waiting for Colin to prepare himself.

Now, the moment has finally come.

Nancy still had a wound on her hand, so she called the young night maid and instructed her to set up a simple tune-up ceremony.The maid's black hair was still completely wrapped in the square handkerchief, with a serious expression, she bent down on the floor and set up the ceremony site step by step according to the instructions.

The maid was indeed just an ordinary person, but Anhe never shy away from performing or even teaching witchcraft in front of them.Nancy said it was because Donglu didn't fool the civilians so thoroughly. After all, the people there were not very good at telling lies with their eyes open.

So every nightman has heard more or less from his parents that the world is full of ghosts and invisible things.There is no doubt about this, and it cannot be changed by closing the eyes or covering the ears like the Anhe people.

But in the current era, this calmness has instead become the reason why they are constantly being slandered and framed.

"finished!"

The maid raised her head and said happily, with a bit of unconcealable pride in her crisp voice.After all, before coming to this safe house, I was just an inferior person who didn't even know what redstone was.But in the past few days, she has been assisting Nancy in arranging the ceremony, which can be regarded as a heavy responsibility.

It's really amazing...Nan Xirou claimed to praise the maid's progress, raised her uninjured left hand, and wiped away the sweat beads on her forehead due to concentration.Colin was also a little bit surprised. Although he was only doing the same thing under Nancy's command, it is already very impressive for an ordinary person to do this in just a few days.

It was just being praised in this way, the expression on the young servant's face remained unchanged, but his ears turned red quickly.After all, her mistress would never say these things to her servants, and she never even treated her as a human being:
"I, I'm going out to wash the bandages first."

The servant said in a short voice, the blush almost spreading from the ears to the cheeks.After briefly saluting Nancy, he left as if fleeing.

Afterwards, Colin used the trigger of the simple FM ritual, and together with Nancy, entered the huge dreamland floating above the alliance.

…………

…………

The magnificent scenery in the red river valley remains unabated, and the dream capital they have been looking for for a long time is still missing.But this time I entered the valley not to visit the distant stars, but to avoid everyone else.

"Kane failed." Colin said straightforwardly:
"But I also saw Edmund's crown hidden in the Grand Theatre... a bird of radiance."

"Well, I know that." Nancy said quietly.Through the reports of those members of the Underworld, she also had some understanding of what happened in Gallo Hall.

"And besides these? Do you know anything else?" he asked.

Nancy looked up at him, puzzled.Colin continued:
"You and I both know that if you want to seize the principality, it is not enough to execute the Grand Duke with a theater ceremony... You must also solve the crown they control, whether you kill him, suppress him, or release him. Kane's appearance is a An accident that no one could have predicted, an episode. So before he appears, how are you going to deal with the Crown Holy Spirit?"

"..."

Nancy didn't answer, because the answer was right in front of her eyes:

Thin Ives.

Colin had already guessed it when he heard that the Grand Duke also had a crown.Why did Nancy have to wait years in Stade?Because she was waiting for Colin's body to transform, waiting for the pale earth to break free from the shackles left by Lenz before his death and return to the world.

"If you think I'm using you..." Nancy said.

"Use it? I'm not hypocritical enough to care about whether I use it or not." Colin said:

"But I have to figure out something more important right now before I go any further, Nancy, watch me."

Colin stares into her eyes, literally into the soul.When a person is in a spiritual state, everything can be seen through, and it is almost impossible to lie.

He had to figure out—how far Nancy knew about Pale Earth.

Or to put it further, was Nancy's intentional design of Bod Aves' loss of control in Gallo Hall?

Nancy's eyes were not clear, even a little cloudy, but she had a clear conscience and was steady and resolute.A person who is qualified to mirror General Sylvanus is not necessarily a hero, but he is also absolutely impossible to be a dog.

Just as Colin himself said, Kane's appearance was an accident that no one could have expected, so it is impossible for anyone to use this matter to make any clever designs.

What's more, before entering the theater, Nancy had already handed over all the options to herself.

This is not the first time this has happened.

The same goes for the night of the winter solstice in Stade.

"...Whenever this happens, you will leave the choice to me."

Colin gradually became sure that Nancy was not malicious, so he relaxed a little, and whispered:
"I tried my best to gather all the conditions, but in the end I just put the choice in front of me."

In fact, there are two opposite roads in front of my eyes, which extend infinitely towards the distant fog.

One is the road left by Lenz, the father of this life, as smooth as a doze in the afternoon, everything has nothing to do with him, and he is unknown.And the other is the road paved by the dark river. It may be a bit like a hero marching in the dark. It is magnificent, but it is also full of cold use. If you don't pay attention, you will be swallowed up by someone.

Nancy didn't force herself to go any way, and even selfishly, she seemed to prefer to choose Lenz's side, and sometimes Colin could feel this.

For a long time, this person just silently put one option after another in front of her eyes, even if this option is related to the success or failure of all her efforts in the past ten years.

"And then, it's the same result twice." Nancy said, sighing silently in her heart.

It seems to me that the answer is clear...you just don't want to accept it just yet.
