Chapter 786 Grant's Little Patty

Although the winter is not over yet, there are still cold winds blowing outside, but the sun is exceptionally sunny these days.

On a sunny day, Patty's favorite thing to do is stay out of the sun, listen to the maid tell her stories in the rare physical relief, or watch those funny magic web shows.

There are many interesting things on the magic net, there are stories about distant places, unheard of knowledge, and new and interesting magical creations, and recently, the smart people in Cecil City have also made a kind of magic Movies" thing.

It's a play that was put on the lewd terminal, and more and more people are talking about it lately.

Patty hadn't been to the theatre—she lost the chance to go out when she was just old enough to go to the theatre with her parents, but she still went to theatre, and her mother had invited the best theatre company in the neighborhood. , let them perform the classic burlesque in the castle, and Patty can't remember exactly what the play was about.

She didn't last until the end of one scene, and was sent to the doctor by the maid and the housekeeper.

But only from those fragmented childhood memories, she still felt that the drama she had watched was definitely not as interesting as the "Magic Drama" on the magic net terminal.

The sun quietly poured into the room, which outlined a warm and bright area in the room. Patty sat happily in his small wheelchair, and stared at the magic net terminal not far away, the sky above the terminal. In the holographic projection, the migrants who finally arrived safely at the southern port after suffering hardships are helping each other down the springboard, and the port personnel in the uniform of the sheriff are maintaining order.

This is the third time she has seen this scene.

The maid stood quietly by the side, this gentle lady looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, when the young lady appeared on the screen, she heard the excited voice from the little lady: "The witch The lady lives in Cecil City, doesn't she? Will she really welcome travelers in the port?"

"This is just a show, Miss Patty," said the maid, bending over slightly, smiling, "but Miss Witch does live in Cecil City."

"It's so good..." Patty couldn't help sighing softly, "I also want to go to Cecil City to see..."

"When your health is better, there may be a chance." The maid said gently.

"...No, Mom will be worried," Patty shook her head slightly, then returned her attention to the Phantom drama, "Is everyone watching this? Will there be a new Phantom drama?"

"Yes,

Everyone was watching it. Madam showed it three times for everyone in the castle. Everyone in the castle watched it. There were more and more people watching it outside the castle. Many people watched it more than once. As for whether there will be any The new ghost drama... I don't know either, but there should be. "

"That's good..." Patty sighed again. "Then do you like watching it too? Do you like that Mr. Knight?"

The maid thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "That Mr. Knight? Of course, many people like him, and I like him too, but my favorite is the female textile worker..."

"why?"

"Because I have a sister who is a female textile worker," said the maid. "She works in a factory now."

The maid answered patiently, but the little girl still had many questions: "Is the mechanical ship really that big? Can everyone live on the ship for a month or two? Is it really that cold outside the castle? Why didn't the lord at the beginning not Distribute charcoal to someone who is about to freeze to death? He already has so much charcoal... When everyone is very hungry, they really go to catch mice to eat? Now? Why did the knight see the sheriff running after getting off the boat What? He's obviously a good guy..."

The maid looked at the girl in the wheelchair in disbelief. She had already answered some of these questions more than once.

But she bent down again and patiently explained from the beginning.

...

In the long hall of Gulen Castle, Madame Gulen, who had high cheekbones and a tall stature, had regained some of her former beauty, standing in front of the steps, welcoming Gao Wen and his party who came here as guests.

When Duke Gawain became His Majesty Gawain, this ordinary visit also became very meaningful. Although His Majesty's New Deal has been implementing a system of streamlining etiquette norms and reducing ceremonial expenses, as a well-educated nobleman Ladies, Ropeney Glenn still strives to be as formal and meticulous as the system allows.

"Salute to you, my supreme majesty," the Countess lifted her skirt and bowed, while the attendants and knights in the castle were lined up on both sides of the long carpet, like two rows of neat sculptures, "You ordered this castle be honored."

"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome -- the etiquette was much simpler the last time I came to visit," Gawain replied with a smile and nodded in a relaxed tone, "Just treat it as a visit from a friend."

"I'm honored—but the necessary etiquette is always there," Countess Ropeney straightened, and a sincere smile appeared on her once stern face, "and arrangements have been made for your entourage. I have a room to rest, and dinner is prepared - of course, in full compliance with the regulations of the Government Affairs Office."

"That's good, hard arrangements," Gawain nodded, "Is Patty in the room?"

"Yes, she should be watching a ghost play at this time, and there is a maid accompanying her," the lady replied, "Do you want to see her first? I'll send someone..."

"No, she's not in good health, I'll go look for her," Gawain interrupted the baroness and said with a smile, "She hasn't seen me 'Uncle Gawain' for a long time, she doesn't know what I am today It was a surprise for her to come."

"Of course—she's mentioned you more than once recently," the Countess smiled, "and she wishes you would continue to tell her those stories."

Gawain was silent for less than a second, then said softly, "That's right... that's great."

...

The mind network, the city of dreams, in the central temple.

In the splendid conference hall, the archbishops gathered around the round table depicting many mysterious symbols (decorative lighting effects). In the atmosphere, a crucial meeting is going on.

"...This is the whole process of this exploration," Archbishop Yuri's voice echoed in the hall. In front of him, the memory projections restored with the power of the mind are showing several key paragraphs in the phantom town. Image, "There is no need to go into details about the various strange properties and psychological symbolic meanings of Phantom Town. I think everyone has done a lot of research in these fields. This time, we should mainly focus on the 'upper narrator' priests have The case of 'magic'.

"At present, we can at least be sure that the 'magic magic' cast by the projection priest can take effect in the phantom town and can effectively attack the minds of us 'real people'. This is already the sublimation of the power of the upper-level narrator. , Proof of proximity to the gods.

"The 'God's Arrival' released by the projection priest was unsuccessful, although the most likely reason was that his 'projection essence' prevented him from releasing such a high-level magic, or because of Phantom Town and No. 1 Sand The box is isolated, but it does not rule out the possibility that the upper-level narrator in Sandbox No. 1 has not yet been fully formed or an unexpected situation has occurred..."

The starlight aggregates above the hall swelled and wriggled, and the voice of Megall III entered the minds of everyone on the scene: "Archbishop Yuri, Archbishop Magnum, you were almost polluted by the upper-level narrator in the process of calibrating your minds. , according to your own experience, do you think the upper-level narrator has spied the situation outside the sandbox in the process of this pollution? Did it extend part of its own body into the small town?"

"...I don't think so, Your Majesty," Yuri thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although that kind of pollution is difficult to prevent, its essence is still just a projection, and after the pollution fails, it does not show any 'active'. Sex', it should have no connection with the upper narrator in Sandbox One."

"The Phantom Town has now completely disappeared," Archbishop Magnum also stood up and said, "I then 'flushed' it with Psychic Storm a few times. Follow-up monitoring can confirm that the data area has been completely emptied. In theory, there is no need to Don't worry about it anymore."

"The Phantom Town has disappeared, and the No. 1 sandbox is still there," a deep and hoarse female voice sounded. A beautiful and mature woman in a black dress stood up and looked at the Pope in mid-air. " Your Majesty, it seems that we have to take some risks. The danger of the 'monster' bred in Sandbox No. 1 has exceeded the limit. It is not meaningful to continue to maintain the status quo of the sandbox. A 'active disposal'."

Archbishop Magnum glanced at the woman in the black dress, whose ears were more pointed and longer than human, and had the characteristics of an elf hybrid — at least, so was her avatar.

Magnum nodded slightly: "I agree with Archbishop Miyue. Entering the sandbox, facing and solving the problem, this is probably the only solution. Your Majesty the Pope, the archbishops, we should convene our psionic choir and spiritual The knights are here."

Yuri frowned, he opened his mouth, and after some deliberation, he said: "Our number of spirit knights is limited, maybe..."

Before Yuri could finish his words, a loud siren suddenly interrupted him, and then a slightly nervous young female voice entered the hall: "This is the monitoring team - there is a big hole outside the West 16th District of Dream City! "

The archbishops who were participating in the meeting were suddenly startled, and then one after another silhouettes disappeared in the hall in an instant. In an instant, the silhouettes of the twenty-three archbishops came to the sky above the area where the big void appeared on the periphery of the city of dreams.

In the splendid and majestic border area of ​​Dream City, a shocking crack penetrated the outer barrier of the city, connecting a small block of blocks with the vast wasteland outside the city. An inexplicable force is raging in the crack area and will be swept away. The blocks and wasteland that entered the city were torn and squeezed into a huge vortex of chaotic light and shadow. The gorgeous palace vaults, towering towers, and flat streets were all stirred into this terrifying vortex, and they went crazy in the "big hole". Spin and whizz!

The archbishops floated above this "big void", staring at the spinning fragments of light and shadow, and the expressions on everyone's faces were particularly ugly.

They could see that there were a large number of dazed and panic-stricken congregants gathered outside the torn block, and in the huge swirling vortex, there were probably also congregants who were involved in it...

This is no longer a problem that can be solved with a memory flush and a zone reset.

Archbishop Magnum's short red hair stood on end, he looked at Yuri, his tone was very solemn, his voice was the same as before: "Archbishop Yuri, we must assemble our troops immediately—"

"As you said," Yuri took a deep breath, "we must gather our troops."

Selena Gerfen floated silently in the bishops' conference, suddenly tilted her head slightly, and muttered with a strange expression: "Assemble the troops..."

...

"We assembled our troops at that time, and with a single order, everyone came," Gawain sat beside Patty's wheelchair, with a gentle smile on his face, slowly telling the story from his memory, " At that time, it was not as good as now. Our food was not enough. Every time the army assembled, no matter how much the lords emptied their families, they could only get enough food for one or two months. Therefore, many knights, even knights and apprentices brought their own. Dry food. The war with the aberrations, there is no benefit at all, everyone is willing to pay."

Patty's eyes widened: "As Dad once said to me, 'Go on a Glory'?"

"That's right, the word honorable expedition came from that time, meaning that everyone went to the battlefield not for plundering profits, but only for the glory in their hearts, but this concept was later destroyed by the corrupted nobles and became A vocabulary used to glorify predatory behavior."

Patty thought for a while, then nodded: "...I seem to understand."

Gawain looked at the girl in the wheelchair quietly, and said slowly, "Is that so...that's fine."
