Chapter 242 We Have Seen Ordinary Statues
"Miss Vifia."
…
"Miss Vifia."
…
"Please wake up."
…
"Please wake up!"
…
The [Eyes] hidden in the sky kept calling out, "Miss Vefiya, Miss Vefiya..."
The girl was quiet and didn't respond.
[Eyes] instantly raised their own height and looked down at the surroundings.
The world of [eyes] has always been blurry, but here, [eyes] see the world clearly.
[Eyes] have long understood what joy is. [Eyes] are not happy that they can see clearly. [Eyes] never see clearly. Seeing clearly is an exception. [Eyes] do not like the so-called exceptions that appear in themselves.
The zenith was a series of semicircles like shooting stars, shining brightly in the night sky and strangely lingering for a long time.
The endless ground was so bright and colorful that the eyes could not tell what it was.
The ground is like the reflection of dead tree branches. Each irregular shape has different flowing lines. The [eye] cannot distinguish what constitutes the surface.
The colorful blocks in irregular shapes have clear edges, or are strips, with colors interlaced, bright, gorgeous and dreamy.
The black-haired girl was placed on the left side, with branches passing through her body and holding her up. Black is a very dull color, but when the colorful light in the space falls on her, it strangely becomes much lighter.
Her figure became more clearly visible in the brilliant light.
[Eyes] knew it was Vifiya, although her appearance was different from before, but [Eyes] knew it was her.
The Eyes did not need vision; they could always feel the line connecting them to Vefia, a line that had existed between them since the promise they had made in Yoko Village.
Because the agreement is special, the agreement is to stay by her side, so no matter where she goes, [Eyes] will be by her side.
[The Eye] would not mistake Vifia, except for the lines, at least [The Eye] had never seen a second person with the same colors as her, and the same space as [The Eye] saw.
The same colors, the same mixture, the same interweaving, the same brightness...
Her colors are in the interlaced blocks of color, but she is not swallowed up, she seems to be integrated into it.
Her position seemed random, but it gave [eyes] a strange feeling. Every time [eyes] followed their feelings to search, their search would be interrupted, as if something blocked [eyes]'s thinking.
"Ms. Vifia, please wake up."
"Miss Vifia, Miss Vifia."
The reason why [Eyes] kept calling her was not only because of the color, but also because of the countless corpses that were faintly visible under the color of the ground, and the corpses that could not be seen clearly.
[Eyes] saw the surging corpses, the corpses climbing in the sea of blood, the corpses were excited, and the corpses ran towards the girl on the branches.
The corpses' hands seemed about to break through the colors and the thin and fragile surface.
[Eyes] flew back to the girl and saw her face clearly. This was the first human face [Eyes] had seen since he could remember.
Being in a sea of corpses should be terrifying for human beings.
"Ms. Vifia, please wake up!"
"Please wake up! Miss Vifia..."
Unfortunately, the girl kept her eyes closed and did not respond.
[Eyes] release their invisibility and spread out their six pure white wings standing behind their pupils of the sun and moon.
The pure white light suppressed the colorful things around the girl, and black slime slid down the six wings and squirmed to her side.
The bracelet on her wrist emitted wisps of light red mist, which continuously wrapped around her in the air.

The food brought by the elf servants was placed on the table, but no one touched it.
"I don't sense any magical fluctuations." Isidore spoke first. Without Vifia, all the gentleness in him disappeared. Although he was still calm, the tone in his words became cold and hard.
Osa stroked the hilt of her sword, trying to dispel the uneasiness in her heart: "I don't feel anything."
Isidore noticed that a different person had replaced the blonde girl with red eyes in front of the statue. He originally thought it was just a normal exchange, because Vifiya and the other [Vifiya] would sometimes switch people to take charge of the body.
His heart was trembling in his chest. He still couldn't get used to Vifiya's sudden disappearance, but he would no longer panic like before.
Instead of panicking, the right thing to do is to calmly gather information and not miss any clues to find her.
This was the result of Isidore's constant rehearsal in his mind during the eight years when he had no news of her.
Unlike five years ago when Vifiya fell into a coma, he could not be sure of Vifiya's safety now.
He suppressed the magic power that was flowing in his body at a slightly faster pace, keeping his mind clear.
So far, there are only two kinds of magic that he cannot perceive: the power of God and the rules of the world.
Unlike the power of God, the rules of the world do not seem to have a specific consciousness, and Isidore is not sure under what conditions the rules of the world are willing to let others perceive them.
The world rules have their own operating system, and the world rules are everywhere, but only when something that violates the rules occurs will the world condense and reveal most of the world rules.
"Are your eyes there?" Isidore raised his eyes and asked tentatively.
It was quiet all around.
"Will [Eye] be with Vifiya?" Osha felt a headache. If [Eye] and Vifiya were together, they might be able to find a way to contact [Eye].
But the problem is, what happened to be with Vifiya was the [Eye].
[Eye] has been with Vifia for a long time. Apart from Vifia, [Eye] hardly communicates with anyone else. For Osa and the others, [Eye]'s presence is very low, and even Osa sometimes forgets that there is an [Eye] around them.
Or rather, [the eyes] didn't give them a chance to connect at all.
[Vifiya] sat on a long wooden bench beside her with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes slightly, and the light of the magic lamp flickered in her red pupils.
"Do you have any impression of a piece of blue cloth?"
[Vefiya] had been silent since she entered the room and did not join in the discussion between Isidore and the others. As soon as she spoke, the two of them looked at her.
Her breathing was steady, her eyelids drooped, and she looked more like she was sleeping.
Noticing their gazes, she didn't move. "It's a very ordinary piece of cloth. It's blue, and it looks very similar to Miss Osa's eyes."
After saying this, she raised her eyes and looked directly into Osha's.
Osa frowned. Blue fabric?
She turned her head away, avoiding Vifiya's gaze, and lowered her eyes to think.
Blue fabric?
The blue fabric was ordinary, but the real Miss [Vefiya] had made a point of mentioning her eyes.
In the corner of memory, a flash of light blue passed by.
Osa's brows twitched slightly.
[Vifiya] took in her subtle expression with her calm eyes, and she slowly stood up.
She lowered her eyes to look at the two people in front of her, her pupils revealing an undisguised scrutiny. As if making a concession, she pointed her finger in their direction and said, "Looking for the Elf King."
Without waiting for their questions, [Vefia] didn't bother to explain and walked straight out the door. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to Isidore and asked, "Your magic power won't be detected by the Elf King, right?"
Osha and the other two had already stood up. They didn't care about [Vifiya's] temper, after all, they had seen it before.
On the other hand, when it comes to matters concerning Vifiya, she will stand on the same side as them and can be trusted.
"Yes," Isidore replied. He could sense the magic that covered the Elf King's Court.
After receiving the correct answer, [Vefiya] walked towards the two of them and said, "Teleport directly."
Under the interwoven light of the magic circle, the palace seemed as bright as day.
A magic circle appeared silently in front of the palace, and the elven knights subconsciously drew their weapons.
The three of them stepped out of the magic circle.
[Vefiya] ignored their vigilance and the elves' swords pointed at her. She took a few steps forward, raised her eyes, and stared at the faceless statue with an unfathomable gaze.
She suddenly smiled and tilted her head, "I want to see your king and tell her I have an answer for her."
“We have indeed met before.”
The knights turned around when they heard the familiar voice. Their king walked out of the palace, and they bowed their heads and made way for him.
Ariana beside her looked at Osa with a complicated look.
[Vefiya]'s eyes were dull: "Did I deny it?"
She didn't hide her purpose. She stared at the statue and said, "Let's talk right here."
Arianna glanced sideways. Nimuvi didn't look at her, but she still understood: "All elves, please withdraw first."
This was the order of the elders, and also the order tacitly agreed by the king. The knights around left without hesitation. They were not worried about the king's safety. Elder Ariana was by the king's side. Besides, who could hurt the king in the Elf King's Court?
For a moment, only [Vifiya] and three other people and two elves were left in front of the palace.
Arianna's soundproofing magic covered the entire palace grounds.
Vifiya's features seemed to soften, and she smiled slightly, saying, "We're not here to cause trouble."
She turned around and met Nimuvi's eyes. "Could you please tell me what's different about the statue?"
Nimuwei didn't reply immediately, but asked, "Are you Miss Vifiya?"
[Vefiya] replied, “Of course.”
Nimuwei secretly observed her for a long time. The feeling she had now about Vifiya was different from that in the afternoon, yet it was different, yet also very similar. She glanced at Isidore and Osha. Their attitudes...
Her words were still gentle: "Miss Vifiya, shouldn't you tell me first what answer you have for me?"
Upon hearing this, [Vefiya] smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to listen to the former king's last words now?"
Ariana didn't know what expression she should show. Why would a human know the former king's last words? The former king's death was a secret. It was not an ordinary death. The current king didn't have time to hear the former king's last words. Fortunately, she had set up a soundproofing magic in advance.
Nimuwei chuckled and turned her gaze to the statue. "Miss Vifiya, you guessed wrong. The statue is an ordinary statue. The elves used ordinary stones when they built it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the God's favorite behind you."
Vifiya didn't turn around to ask. Or rather, she hadn't even glanced at the two people behind her since she arrived at the palace. Her eyelids drooped and then lifted. "It's most convenient to ask you."
She asked word by word, "After it's built, what will run inside?"
The silver-haired girl's green eyes seemed dim under the night sky. She stared at Vifiya with a smile on her lips.
She suddenly turned her head and said to the pink-haired elf beside her: "Ariana, I didn't take the initiative to explain."
The pink-haired elf placed her hands on her chest and bowed, clearly relieved. "Of course, King."
