The burning sensation was replaced by coolness, and the red light that I felt through my eyelids suddenly dimmed.
A few seconds passed, or was it a dozen seconds? But nothing happened.
Burning, explosion, injury, pain, death, everything that you expected when facing the fire may not happen.
His perception ability did not fail in Iluv. Thinking of this, Ash opened his eyes.
Then he stood there in a daze—
This, where is this?
He was no longer in the cozy room of the hotel, and Yelena was not around. What appeared before him was an exceptionally spacious room. Although spacious, he felt inexplicably depressed.
It was probably someone's bedroom, because at the innermost part of the room, there was an extremely large bed covered with a dark blue velvet carpet that looked very soft and comfortable.
There is a whole row of shelves placed near the walls on both sides, which are simple and elegant, reaching up to the ceiling.
On the shelf on the right are various books, like a wall of books.
On the left shelf were a variety of strange small items. The only thing Ash could identify was the long swords, short daggers, bows, arrows, and sharp thorns hanging together. The outlines looked particularly cool and handsome. As a boy, Ash couldn't help but take a second look.
Apart from the bed and storage rack, as well as the low table and sofa at his feet, there were no other decorations or objects in this spacious house.
Does it feel empty?
——Not at all.
On the plush carpet, there were clothes, books, scattered papers, unrecognizable plant remains, stones of different colors... and all kinds of completely unrecognizable odds and ends thrown around randomly.
Too messy.
Ash thought helplessly that he seemed to have intruded into someone's private territory in the blink of an eye.
Was he teleported again?
Has the wizarding world always been so unexpected and bizarre?
Moreover, the teleportation point was actually a private place like the bedroom... Ash was too embarrassed to observe carefully, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the heavy wooden door. What should he do now? Open the door and walk out? If he met the owner of the house, what should he say so as not to be regarded as a suspicious person?
Just as he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
Should I ask him to come in? Or should I pretend that no one is in the room?
Before Ash could prepare himself mentally, the person who knocked on the door pushed it open and walked in, talking to himself.
"I'm sorry, Signe. I forgot to take the information away. By the way, how is the tower capture token in your hand?"
An old man wearing a Protoss robe (of course, it looked much more advanced than the one Ash had chosen), with a silver badge with a circular wheel on his chest, and snow-white hair neatly draped over his back, walked in. He looked old, but he was also a very handsome old man. Even though he looked humble now, one could not deny his transparent and elegant temperament.
Seems easy to talk to? Ash was relieved... No, wait, what name did the old man mention just now?
Sigourney?
Is this the Sigourney that Fair mentioned, "Sigourney asked me to say hello to you for him"?
coincide?
Ash was confused by this name, which he had only heard once, so he did not immediately explain his identity to the old man.
Then he heard the old man call him again: "Sigourney?"
Ash looked at the old man in confusion. Why was he looking at him and calling out?
Are you calling me?
But I'm not Sigourney.
No! Why wasn't the old man surprised when he saw him and a stranger in the room?
There was no one else in the room except him, so why did the old man keep calling "Sigourney"?
Ash's heart sank as he suddenly realized a horrible truth.
He had just suddenly entered a strange place and only had time to look at the surrounding environment but was unable to take a good look at himself.
Now that I realized this, I immediately noticed various abnormalities in my body.
The sight line is much higher than usual.
It's okay even though I haven't breathed.
And... my stomach is so hungry.
He swallowed and felt a slight itch at the root of his teeth. Looking at the old man again, he no longer thought he was a handsome old man. He just felt like a soft and fluffy cream cake, fresh out of the oven, fragrant and delicious.
Smells good, want to eat!
But the shock brought by the abnormal feeling in the body was too great, and the desire to eat was suppressed.
Ash looked down at himself. His slender body was wrapped in a dark red silk robe. The skin exposed outside was pale and delicate. This was definitely not his body!
So... he looked at the old man in astonishment. The person who was calling "Sigourney" and "Sigourney" just now was actually calling him?
This body belongs to Sigourney?
A girl?
Became a girl?!
Ash was unusually panicked, his mind went blank due to the shock. Without time to think, he first pressed his hand below his lower abdomen - "Huh...", he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was still a boy.
"Sig...Gurney?" the old man's strange voice.
Ash raised his head, and under the old man's strange gaze, he recalled his subconscious actions just now...
“…”
If it were his own body, his face would probably be red enough to fry an egg on.
But in this body now, he felt an overwhelming sense of shame in his heart, but he couldn't feel any warmth on his face.
He silently removed his hands from other people's private parts.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"It's okay. I don't think Sigourney will mind." The old man came over, his light gray eyes wise and bright, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Nance, the guardian of your current body. What about you, boy? No, don't tell me yet. Let me guess, Ash Alwyn from Duogu Village in Broken River Plains?"
Ash was surprised: "How did you know?"
"Because there is enough intelligence and knowledge." Nance nodded his head mysteriously, "A good astrologer can draw a whole leopard from a single stripe."
Ash was confused and looked at him with admiration.
Wow! Cute!
Being stared at by "Sigourney" with sparkling eyes, Nance was almost flattered. After his vanity was greatly satisfied, he raised the corners of his lips happily and took the initiative to instruct Ash: "Actually, this is very simple. Look at the back of Sigourney's right hand."
Ash looked down and recognized it: "Tower capture mark?" It was exactly the same as the one in his hand!
"I just checked which level 3 wizard towers are open for tower capture today." Nans said calmly, "It's the wizard tower in Stone Castle, right?"
Ash nodded.
"I thought about it and it's very likely you are the one who can connect Sigourney to Boulder Castle." Nance smiled, "I also know that Yelena plans to bring you back. Boulder Castle is one of the exits of Broken River Plains, so it makes sense for you to be there."
"My connection with...Sigourney?" Ash was confused. He knew this girl...no, it was a boy now. Did he know this boy? Fair said that, and now Nance said it too. Even he almost suspected that he had lost part of his memory.
"This is the Starry Sky Theater, and we welcome everyone to our performance." Nance cleared his throat, bowed gracefully, raised his head, and winked at Ash slyly, "My appearance was slightly altered at the time, so it's normal that you didn't recognize me. But what about now? How are you? Do you remember?"
Ash's eyes widened in surprise, "Starry Sky Troupe!"
"Oh, Ash, it seems that you are very impressed by our performance." Nance smiled, "You still remember me, so of course you must not have forgotten Sigourney, right?"
Ash was stunned. Could it be that Sigourney was...
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.
Cold skin, long eyelashes, narrow eyes, and thin lips.
His fingers slid down, hooked onto the long braid tied behind her back, and held it in the palm of his hand: it was a beautiful silver-white color, smooth and cold like silk, as if filled with a handful of bright moonlight.
It was enough to make him picture an extremely familiar face before his eyes.
Delicate, cold, beautiful, sharp.
It's like an ice flower blooming on the snow.
Ash stared blankly at what was in front of him, and soon discovered that this extremely beautiful face was not something he imagined, but was printed on a suspended water curtain, clearly presented in front of him.
"Remember?" Nance asked him from the side, "Sigourney's appearance hasn't changed. He's a narcissist to death and won't allow his face to look like anyone else." Well, although he's probably a completely different person now. Nance curled up the corners of his lips, secretly enjoying the fun.
Ash nodded blankly.
I remember. Of course I remember the person who dances in my dreams every night.
It turns out that Sigourney is Scarlet Moon, and Scarlet Moon is Sigourney.
So how many things has this person helped him with?
Saved them from Rachel.
The Red Throne transferred Duogu Village to the Radiant Throne. Now that I think about it, Duogu Village was secretly taken care of by Fel from the beginning. It was able to easily escape from the Red Throne's collar, and there must have been reasons for Fel's mediation. And Fel did all this because "Sigourney asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
It also allowed Duogu Village to have relative freedom under the brilliant throne.
This person made their village and his fate move towards another possibility, a possibility that would shine brightly.
It is hard to imagine what situation he and everyone in Duogu Village would be in now if they had not met this person.
"The connection... between me and him?" Ash muttered to himself, and subconsciously covered his left forearm with his right hand. Then he found out incredibly that the skin under his palm was particularly cold, but there was a small area that radiated warmth.
What is this? Could it be——
He lifted his sleeves almost eagerly and saw a small silvery-white star at the same position as the leaf mark on his forearm.
We felt close to each other as soon as we met.
Nance's voice rang in my ears: "There is a contractual connection between you and him."
"The contract is a chain that binds you together. It is also a bridge that builds a passage between you."
"Because of the contract, the Wizard Tower regards you as one person. You are in the Stone Castle, and he holds the black robe badge, so the Wizard Tower gave (you) the mark to seize the tower." Nans said firmly, "Because of the contract, you are here now, and he has taken your body."
"My, body?" Ash repeated, but suddenly remembered something. He didn't have time to immerse himself in this shocking fact, and spoke quickly in a hurry, "No! We are--"
Nance raised his hands and pressed them gently to stop him from talking.
"Don't worry." Nance smiled. "Whatever happened to you in Stonehenge, now that Sigourney is gone, it's all right."
