In the curtained palace on the hillside, Xiao Meng watched Tamashi dancing wildly in the air.
In fact, there were only a few pillars surrounding the wishing well, which was far from being a palace. But after seeing Tamashi and the others building a house, Xiao Meng suddenly felt that she also needed a house, so she tinkered with it herself, summoned a lot of dream spirits, and decorated the wishing well with pink curtains.
Of course, the Dream Spirits would only be willing to serve Xiao Meng. If others tried to catch them, they would disappear with a snap.
Tamashi was the only person who could enter the Veil Palace, and he ate and slept here. It was precisely because he lived here that he had an absolute deterrent power over the Senluo people - in everyone's eyes, Yashajin was a mortal who could command the gods at any time.
In fact, this is true.
This is why Tamashi is referred to as His Highness, for he actually lives in the palace now.
Bang!
With the sound of fists and feet breaking the sound barrier, Tamashi's fight seemed very intense, but he was alone from beginning to end. However, as Xiao Meng watched, she felt as if Tamashi was fighting someone else, and as time went on, the "invisible person" became clearer.
When Tamashi struck hard with his right hand, Xiao Meng seemed to see Tamashi grabbing the sword hand of "that person", and then Tamashi twisted it hard and pressed the blade of his right hand against the neck of "that person", completely subduing his opponent.
This action lasted for ten seconds before Tamashi finished the training. Xiao Meng immediately stood up and applauded: "Well done! So powerful! Hey, hey!"
Xiao Meng imitated Tamashi's punching, and Tamashi laughed: "Don't move your feet when you punch, move your waist first, then turn your shoulders..."
"No, no, Xiao Meng is so tired, I need to rest!"
Xiao Meng knelt down to catch her breath after practicing for a while, looking so tired and pitiful. Tamashi didn't know whether it was true or not, so she squatted down and tapped Xiao Meng's forehead. Xiao Meng suddenly jumped up, grabbed the three-winged crow on Tamashi's shoulder, and held it in her arms and touched it.
The three-winged crow kept struggling and calling at Tamashi, but Tamashi could only spread his hands to show that he could do nothing to help.
Unlike others, Tamashi had no fear of the gods. Perhaps it was because he arranged the fate of the Silver Lamp God, perhaps it was because Xiao Meng was very close to him, or perhaps it was because of the huge legacy of the Lord's knowledge that he had not digested in his mind.
While Xiao Meng was playing with the crow, Tamashi walked to the wishing well, lifted her hood, took off her black feather cloak, untied her armor, belt, steel boots, vest, shirt, chaps, pants, and underpants, and finally untied the bandages around her chest one by one, and she couldn't wait to jump out, trembling and tight.
She first untied her low ponytail and pushed her hair up to reveal her smooth neck. She held a hairband in her mouth and tied her long hair into a high ponytail. She then made a circle around the high ponytail and finally tied up the outside so that her hair would not get wet when she soaked in the wishing well next time.
Yes, although magicians cannot soak in the wishing well, mortals can. Without magical powers, the wishes in the wishing well will not produce any reaction at all.
After Tamashi was dragged into the wishing pool by Xiao Meng once, she would go in and soak in it for a while every day after training.
But tonight is the last time.
She touched the milky white water of the wishing pool with her toes. The temperature and color of the water in the wishing pool were different every night. Tonight the water was ice cold. She sat by the pool with confidence, dipping her calves into the water to create ripples, and then gently moved her buttocks over until the water level passed her chest and gently rippled against her collarbone.
The cold penetrated into her soul along her limbs, clearing her mind and dispelling her fatigue. The coolness made Tamashi sigh lazily. She stretched her arms and legs, straightened her toes and slightly lifted them out of the water. She watched the ripples on her toes and suddenly found it very interesting.
After resting for a while, she picked up the towel next to her and washed her face slowly first. Then she grabbed her ears and carefully scraped the outside and inside. She slid along her chin and neck, roughly wiped the general area, focusing on the sweaty parts, such as the armpits, inner thighs, inner knees, inner arms, and under the breasts.
She felt very embarrassed every time this happened, after all, she took a bath after sweating every day, and was afraid that it would pollute the wishing pool and make the magic spirit and Xiao Meng unhappy. But the magic spirit in the wishing pool had no objection, and Xiao Meng also said that the cleansing power of the wishing pool could easily melt a magician, so taking a bath didn't matter at all.
"Quack!"
The three-winged crow finally escaped from Xiao Meng's clutches, flapped its wings and flew to Tamashi's shoulder. Xiao Meng did not chase after it, but took off all her clothes in seconds, jumped into the wishing pool with a snap, and waved her five tails to get closer to Tamashi.
"Help me press my head, help me press my head!" Xiao Meng raised her hands and shouted.
Tamashi once pressed the massage while washing Xiao Meng's hair, and Xiao Meng fell in love with the feeling. She never thought that one day she would be favored by a god because of her frequent washing of Tanomu's hair.
Tamashi's fingers were as slender as green onions, and she used a certain degree of strength. Xiao Meng shuddered as soon as she started, and the hair on her tail exploded. When she pressed her head, Xiao Meng suddenly asked, "Were you imagining fighting with the master just now?"
"Yes." Tamashi naturally knew who the master Xiao Meng was talking about, "Do you have any news about him?"
"No, Xiao Meng can't establish contact with the master. The master can only come to the Thousand Wishes Heaven." Xiao Meng was a little depressed: "Xiao Meng misses the masters too, but the wish center is in your hands, and the master can't come to the Thousand Wishes Heaven."
"I'll give it back to him soon," Tamashi said calmly. "I promise."
"Well, I believe Tamashi!" Xiao Meng nodded seriously and said, "But why did your mood become so 'thump thump thump' at the end of your training?"
Tamashi asked back, "Do you know how I feel?"
"I am the Dream Awakening God, and the temporary governor of the Thousand Wishes Heaven!" Xiao Meng put her hands on her hips: "How could I not know your mental state? I know the mental state of everyone in the Thousand Wishes Heaven!"
Tamashi nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What is the feeling of 'thump, thump, thump'?"
"Ah?" Xiao Meng tilted her head: "Just... plop? Oh, don't ask such a difficult question, Xiao Meng doesn't know the answer!"
"I don't understand it myself." Tamashi shrugged. "I just heard someone say that there is a kind of love that makes you want to be close to the other person. I thought about it. When I was training with Ash in the Dead City, sometimes we got too close and I had a strange feeling. I wondered if it was another kind of love, so I just tested it and imagined that I subdued him at close range."
"Is that so?"
"Probably not."
"Maybe?" Xiao Meng blinked.
"Because when I get close to him, I feel like pushing him away," Tamashi said, "but after pushing him away, I kind of want to get close to him again."
"So I think I should be the third kind of love," Tamashi swung his fist forward and casually sent out a supersonic cloud explosion, which excited the wishing well, "I like him so much that I want to hit him. Yeah, that's for sure."
Xiao Meng stared at Tamashi blankly, feeling that her master was in danger.
"Speaking of which, since Xiao Meng can sense everyone's mental state, can you do this?" Tamashi suddenly asked, "That is, add or deduct points based on each person's behavior."
Tamashi suddenly remembered that when they were in Black Robe Town, one night everyone suddenly started to talk politics on the keyboard. Because Ash casually criticized all the systems of Blood Moon, Gospel, and Senro, Igula asked him, "You look down on all systems, so you must have a brilliant idea." Ash proposed a very special plan: moral points.
He said that this was a fantasy setting that he had seen in other books. Simply put, many behaviors in this world are not illegal, or are illegal but cause little harm. Even if the law can be enforced every time, the normal punishment is not painful, and heavy punishment is unreasonable.
For the social machine, murder and other vicious cases are harsh but recognizable noises, and these small contradictions and small evil deeds, like fish bones stuck in the throat, will eventually destroy the corrosion and wear of the social machine. Blood Moon, Gospel, and Senluo all have their own solutions, but they all use external forces to reduce corrosion. The mechanism of moral points is to make people spontaneously reduce wear.
"Just like in a game, you get extra points for good performance and deduct points for bad performance. It's OK to cheat on your score, as long as it helps society. This system encourages cheating on your score, and implements the principle that good people will be rewarded. This score should be visible to everyone. High scores can get preferential treatment, and low scores don't need to be punished, because low scores themselves are the best punishment."
Tamashi has no other options now. She doesn't want the Blood Moon System, and she can't do the Gospel System even with the help of the Awakening God. She is not interested in the faith system for the time being. So the only system she knows is the moral system that Ash proposed when they were chatting after dinner.
She was prepared for failure, but a fool who did something wrong was better than a fool who did nothing.
Xiao Meng thought about it seriously, "I should be able to do it, but it will take some time to conceive. However, doing so will consume Originium. I have Originium left by my master, but I will not consume it for you."
Tamashi asked, "But what if I provide you with Originium?"
"That's fine." Xiao Meng said, "But I have to take a commission for the master, about 10%."
"good!"
塔玛希离开许愿池，她最后看了一眼这汪池水，心想从今以后再无这种泡澡体验了。
她穿好衣服，盘腿坐下，伸出手臂，三翼乌鸦旋即站在她手臂上。
“告死。”塔玛希看着乌鸦认真说道：“拜托你了。”
三翼乌鸦鸣叫一声，化为流光汇入塔玛希的灵魂。塔玛希在灵魂里找到它，很快便从它体内找到即将改变自己一生的门扉——
真理之门。
这瞬间，塔玛希心里溢满难言的情绪，有委屈，有悲伤，也有喜悦。她当初只花了一天就接受自己无法成为术师的宣判，然后奋斗至今，成功让所有觉得她不行的人都刮目相看……她以为自己早就与命运和解，但看着这扇属于自己的真理之门，她才发现，根本没有。
那个四岁连一个字都认不出来，夜晚在妹妹睡着后才敢哭的小女孩，从来就没有离开过。
但离开森罗，脱离天廻鳞粉的笼罩后，她彻底恢复正常，只花七天就认全两千常见字，并且在第十天，召唤出她的第一只术灵。
三翼术灵·告死。
既然是三翼术灵，那塔玛希自然只能去遥彼空域，直接错过知识之海和时间大陆。本来这种‘跳过虚境底层’就已经很少见，但塔玛希还掌握更少见的知识——如何补充自己缺失的虚翼。
她脑海里庞大的知识，就有‘湛主复活后该如何尽快取回力量’的内容。湛主这种存在，虽然祂无法直接召唤神灵，但召唤四翼术灵也是轻而易举。
当然，祂也可以先召唤一翼术灵，慢慢从知识之海升上去。但如果是正常晋升速度，知识之海一年、时间大陆一年、遥彼空域一年……复活之后时间何其宝贵，怎么可能浪掷在练级上？祂自然要想办法补全前面的虚翼。
除此以外，湛主在每层虚境还布置了财宝，虽然不多，但都包括源晶和重要术灵！只要能拿到湛主的遗产，塔玛希不仅能供养小梦术灵，而且湛主掌握的术灵，有一个术灵可以直接联通这个世界最神秘的交易平台——
禁猎区！
禁猎区里的客户，全都是半神乃至神主！
在那里，塔玛希可以买到足够高级的资源来开发千愿天国，甚至是缓解千愿天国的诅咒，让千愿天国真正变成天国！
现在塔玛希即将成为圣域术师，也就是说她可以在虚境里遇见亚修等人，将心愿中枢还给亚修。
等找到他们，她要让伊古拉、哈维看看，她确实有好好守护亚修的天国了！
带着这样的期盼，塔玛希意识沉入真理之门。
意识连接虚境，灵魂降临泡影。
等塔玛希缓缓睁开眼睛，映入眼眶的灯红酒绿，浸透耳蜗的熟悉喧嚣，让她一时间以为自己做梦了。
黑夜里，小镇步行街人流如织，无数美女摩肩擦踵，两旁的小吃店食客不绝，喝醉的女人直接躺在路边呼呼大睡。
她转头一看，看见不远处的‘狐灯冰室’。
她认得这里。
这里是黑袍镇的梦幻泡影。
这里是森罗圣域的梦。
但所有森罗圣域都已经死了啊，现在还知道黑袍镇的圣域术师，就只有亚修他们——
‘不对哦……’
忽然，塔玛希再次听到湛主那似有若无的低语，一段隐秘知识流入脑海，才知道遥彼空域的梦幻泡影并不都是‘活人’的梦。
当圣域术师死后，他们的梦也会在空域间断出现，只是刷新时间会越来越长，直到十年后才会彻底消失不再出现。
所以，这个黑袍镇泡影，大概是哪一位死去的森罗圣域的残梦吧。
她在街道上呆站许久，注视着路过的每一张面孔，心知这里所有人都已经死了。过了一会儿，她轻轻叹了口气，刚踏出一步踩到街上的积水，就从水的倒影里看见自己的模样。
没有斗篷，没有面具，没有兜帽，她只看见一个穿着吊带抹胸和半透明护袖，运动超短裤外面套着透明短裙，穿着过膝袜小短靴的劲装少女。
为什么我会穿这套衣服？
塔玛希在脑海里找了一会儿，终于找到出处——有一晚她跟亚修在黑袍镇大街压马路，亚修忽然指着一个路人说衣服好看，她认真看了一眼，发现对方衣服搭配确实好看，跟其他人完全不一样，应该是花了心思搭配的，这一点在森罗极为罕见——很少人会在衣服上面浪掷时间。
那套衣服就是她现在穿的这套，某位已逝森罗人精心搭配的服装设计。
她不知道那人是谁，但她和亚修都记住对方的作品。
塔玛希低头审视了一下自己，稍微舒展一下身体，发现比现实那套装备更容易发力，就是防御力降低了，道具也减少了——但未来会拥有圣域，防御力也不需要那套铠甲，有术灵也不需要道具——因此也没什么不满。
就是跟现实形象相差有点大，不是很习惯……
就在塔玛希准备探索这个泡影的时候，她忽然聆听到旁边传来一个敏感词：“……亚修该不会没发现那是个女人吧？”
塔玛希猛地转过头，看见三个女人从她身边路过。
那三人里，站在中间是头发浅粉，前臂有一层薄薄媚毛的媚娃，左侧是黑发红眼的少女，右侧则是一身紫色情调的成熟女性。
“你怎么知道那是女人？”红眼少女问道：“没露脸，身材也不显，没有任何女性特征啊！”
“她不肯露脸也不肯一起吃饭，就是最大的证据！”媚娃信誓旦旦握着日记本说道。
“但那不是说有宗教的原因吗？”紫衣女士说道。
“但她非要亚修的术师手册记住她啊，你们听听，这多心机啊！”媚娃痛心疾首：“我都不确定亚修的术师手册有没有记住我！”
“那不是为了传播鸦杀尽信仰吗……”红眼少女无语：“别说亚修记住了，我也记住了。塔玛希·鸦杀尽，确实是很有意思的人，不知道她最后有没有复仇成功，希望亚修能写快点。”
紫衣女士也点头：“要不是亚修写的，我肯定不会相信，居然有普通人能达到圣域级别的战力……真想见见是什么样的人。”
“你们等着吧，过不了几章亚修就会发现她是女的。”媚娃哼哼说道：“我从她出现开始，我的雷达就感知到她肯定是女的，而且将来还会纠缠亚修！”
红眼少女：“你那是什么雷达啊……”
媚娃：“外遇雷达！”
紫衣女士：“但你自己不就是亚修的外遇吗……”
“我是第一个，当然不一样！”
这还能有鄙视链的吗！？
这时候，红眼少女忽然转过头：“你跟着我们干嘛？”
媚娃和紫衣女士回头，才发现后面不知何时跟着一位又好看又涩的黑发单马尾女生。后者明显被吓了一跳，后退一步说道：“我没有恶意，我，我只是……”
“你看我们是术师，想加入我们？”紫衣女士猜测道。
“嗯！”塔玛希猛点头，她们明显知道很多亚修的情报，跟着她们或许能提前找到亚修。
红眼少女和紫衣女士明显犯难了，她们这个队伍并不是可以随便加人——
“好啊！”
媚娃飞扑过来抱住塔玛希，脸蛋贴上去跟塔玛希的脸蛋蹭来蹭去，嘻嘻笑道：“耶～又有美少女加入我们了！”
“你这个中年大叔一般的语气是什么鬼啊！”红眼少女狠狠抽向媚娃的屁股：“又不是你的后宫，有美少女有什么用！？”
“养眼不行吗？”媚娃抱紧塔玛希不放，“这是第一个主动加入我们的人哎！还好看！还涩！抱起来还这么舒服！答应她答应她吧好不好嘛～”
红眼少女跟紫衣女士对视一眼，紫衣女士说道：“虽然我们可以答应，但我们也不知道你能不能加入我们，说不定明天你就遇不见我们了。我们是每晚11点登录虚境，如果你明天登录虚境还能遇见我们，那就是正式加入我们了。”
或者说，如果连续两晚都能碰一起，她们就算不愿意，也只能让对方加入了。
塔玛希点点头表示明白，媚娃欢呼一声：“太好了！”
看着媚娃这么高兴，塔玛希有些恍惚——她还是第一次受到这么欢迎的待遇。是因为外貌，还是因为术师，又或者是缘分？
但无论如何，森罗已经没了，她曾经奋斗的一切，都已经烟消云散。千愿天国与虚境，都是她崭新的起点。
是时候，重新开始了。
就在这时候，她听见媚娃问道：“对了，你叫什么名字啊？”
