"I want to know, how many years later was the magic of traveling through time completed?"
She heard him ask the question.
"How far back are you from, Anne?"
Anne's breath stopped. She realizes that even she herself uses spells in the environment. The roof of his dilapidated bungalow was also cracked by the earthquake, and two or three o'clock of daylight filtered in through the small holes where the cracks gathered.
He sat next to her, held her right hand, and while listening to the story of the future, he was always ready to deal with various accidents.
But none of this will affect the progress of this long story.
"Three years after the Prime Minister's death, the military government of Teresa surrendered. Corman was re-divided into the non-threatening ** state, and its capital became the only neutral free city in the world. It was my hometown. This is' The prime minister's era' is over."
Anne fell silent, licked her lips, and quickly handed the water glass to her mouth.
After drinking the water, the blond girl let out a long sigh, closed her eyes, and stopped talking for a long time.
Naimen put the water glass back on the table and used a water-generating technique to refill it: "Is this the end? I thought you were going to talk about how you and the future me met."
Hearing this question, Anne suddenly took her hand out of his, supported the bed board, and deliberately turned her face to the inside of the bed to avoid Naimen's gaze. She held her breath hard, not wanting Naimen to see the shyness on her face.
"Noactually this is not the end. My history ends here, but your future has not yet."
She said with her eyes closed, her tone sounding extremely low.
"Then, I returned to this era and changed your destiny without authorization. You should have gone to the empire. The queen will not appoint a stranger as his prime minister, and the nobles will not surrender in front of the stranger's military flag. The empire Nor would he accept a charter drafted by an outside adventurer"
Annie suppressed her emotions and said the apology. When she said these words, she kept her eyes closed tightly, not daring to look at his expression.
"And I changed everything. I'm sorry."
This apology has been lingering in Anne's heart for a long time.
She already knew he was the same person. She already knows that fate can be changed. She no longer cares how much effort she puts into fighting fate - but she still feels that she may have wiped out the future of "Naimen Hugh Coleman".
"So what?" Naimen gently grabbed her hand again, "I don't see anything worth apologizing for."
He responded like this. Anne had guessed that he would answer this before, she just didn't know how he would answer her.
"The reason why I fight for my motherland is because my past experience has made me decide so. If I will become the Prime Minister of the Empire in the future, it will also be because the future situation will make me make that decision. This is not because Anne, you changed my destiny. , but because this is my choice. Fate does not exist, and this is not your responsibility, Annie."
She struggled hard twice, but this time Naimen's hand was much stronger and held her wrist tightly. This level of grip was not strong enough to hurt her, but it was enough to ensure that she was still trembling with only one arm left. One after another tentative magic hit the magic network, triggering one echo after another. The Liberty Bell rang wildly and the ground shook, but the air in the room still seemed dead. He and she could only feel each other's nervous breathing and pulse.
Finally, it was Annie who spoke to break the dead silence.
"I'm afraid Lenny can't hold on anymore. You can't wait here any longer, NaimenSir Soleton. Today the parliament will definitely pass the order to retreat, and it will take two or three days to withdraw across the Metebesi River. Emperor He will definitely recall his Northern Front Army and come back with renewed strength, and by thenand by then"
Naimen could hear the nasal sound in her voice. The nasal sound was well hidden, but he could still hear it. He noticed that she quietly changed her name for him again.
"And by then, they will definitely be able to master the laws of the Lunni Magic Network. There are already many people doing this. So, before that, you must go to the parliament and control the Lunni Army, at least the Lunni Army. The best part of the Nigerian Army. I can give you some names if you want."
Anne Seifer is playing her role as a future person conscientiously. Naimen*s sight ranges fromThe severed thigh moved to the back and waist, from the waist to the neck, staying on the pearly and delicate skin, looking at the suppressed trembling. He could feel that those suppressed emotions were being conveyed through the magic network.
Naimen*s hand moved forward unconsciously, and then stopped again.
It was as if the nerves in his upper arm no longer obeyed his command. These few minutes felt longer than the entire battles of Stilburg and Jena. If there is an enemy attacking, Naimen is confident that he can respond quickly and decisively; but now there is no enemy attacking
Just when he was about to start praying, "Give me the pressure to make a choice," the floor of the room did start to shake again. This time the vibration was bigger and more violent than before. Naimen could even see that the magic network that originally existed as light blue ether lines melted into the background color.
Annie sniffed hard and said in an unbelievable tone: "How could it be so fast? Someone has already mastered how to use the magic net? Even if the basic principle is the same, the principle was tested without any reference materials. , this is too exaggerated Newton is not in Lenny, but that bastard Io? It can't be Huygens or Locke"
As she was talking to herself, the house shook harder, as if the epicenter was near them. The dust on the roof beams fell one after another, and even the water glass on the table began to slide.
At this moment, Naimen suddenly realized what Anne called the "elasticity of history." It always happens in unexpected places - like now. This invisible and intangible "elasticity" is forcing him to make a choice.
Maybe everything she said is true.
Either hold her or let her go, there is no third way.
"Think about it carefully, there is no need to choose at all."
Naimen Solayton put aside all worries and worries, stretched out his right hand without hesitation, crossed Anne's thin and light torso, and hugged her body tightly.
The girl who was caught off guard struggled in panic in front of this unexpected fierce hug, and used her only hand to pat Naimen's arm hard: "Wait, wait a minute, why suddenly"
But Naimen has no intention of letting go. He has made his choice.
"The hope you have is my hope. The future you want is my future."
He picked her up, lifted her body off the bed, held her in his arms, and continued to whisper his commitment and responsibility in her ear.
"We will go to the Capitol together and see Marshal Fox together. We will find capable priests and we will find a way to cure your body. As you said, we cannot admit that a thing cannot be solved - Otherwise it*s really unsolvable.§
"Wait, wait a moment"
Hearing these words, Anne blushed and shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to deny something. Her hair rubbed against Naimen's cheeks and chin, making her feel a little itchy. But he decided to ignore the signals.
"I will accompany you to the end of the story, no, even to the end of everything."
Naimen hugged Annie tightly and stood up suddenly from the bed.
"Because I like〞no. I should probably say, I"
Naimen*s words suddenly stopped as if someone had cut them off.
〞〞Because he had already seen the cause of the huge vibration just now.
Right in the center of his room, there was a huge tunnel opening.
Next to the tunnel entrance, two uninvited spectators were looking at him and Annie in surprise. All four eyes were as big as silver coins, and the expressions on their faces were very complex and wonderful.
Zalt Foran was still wearing the military uniform. He opened the corners of Sister Valentina's mouth with both hands to prevent her from making any noise to disturb Nemen and Anne. Because the corner of her mouth was pulled, the nun who had changed into casual clothes made some unintelligible grunts and pointed at the two young men in front of her, her index finger wagging in the air.
Naimen*s head started to hurt. He turned his attention to the entrance of the tunnel, looking at this building that he knew nothing about even though it was clearly in his room.
The walls of the entire corridor are paved with lighting crystals, emitting a faint blue light. The steps made of obsidian stone lead all the way to the depths, and all the building materials are inlaid with runes to prevent detection and block the exits - generally a mage's secret base will only take some precautions at the entrance.
No matter what standard you use to measure it, the architectural standards of this secret base are outrageously luxurious. This was obviously something he couldn't afford, nor could a nun or Zalt. If Zart can afford to repair this thing, heThere was no need to defect from the empire; if he defected from the empire so that he could afford to repair this thing, then the empire would never let him go.
So there is only one suspect left.
"I, I have wanted to tell you for a long time I just didn't find the right opportunity."
Annie said hesitantly, turning her head to one side. The blush on her face caused by embarrassment had long since reached her ears, and even her fair neck had turned red.
"If I had known it was a trap, I should have taken the time to eat the bait just now."
Naimen? Solayton thought bitterly, and began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him that was still full of traps.
