For the next month, Yun Wei was extremely busy.
He visited Catherine more frequently and compiled and recorded the secrets she recounted. After a month of hard work, the tangled materials had been initially collected, but figuring out how to begin writing was a challenge.
He told Isaac about it.
He seemed very happy about his "harmonious" relationship with Catherine, and kissed him so passionately that night that he was breathless.
At the same time, Yun Wei did not forget his companions in other corners of the continent.
He consulted with Sid about several advanced transformation arrays and also communicated with Xie Mulang to urge Bili City to make preparations for immigration and development as soon as possible.
Although the conflict in Bili City has been temporarily eased, it is only superficial and far less effective than diverting the conflict through outward expansion.
He had spoken with Catherine, and since there was no binding force of the contract, adhering to the so-called ancestral teachings and isolating oneself on an isolated island would be tantamount to courting death.
Of course, this will inevitably cause a great deal of discussion in the City of Jade, but that is none of his business.
"Once upon a time, a knight was traveling through a desolate wilderness under an oak tree when he encountered a proud mage..."
He stopped writing, read the beginning he had written himself, and found it utterly unbearable to read. He crumpled the thick, rough paper into a ball.
Sure enough, he probably overestimated himself.
Yun Wei slumped back in his chair, lost in thought, listening to the lively chirping of cicadas outside the window.
Actually, he didn't sleep very well last night.
To be precise, he had a nightmare, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
The good news is that he didn't dream about those persistent nightmares.
The bad news was that he dreamed of a stranger named Isaac.
In the dream, the other person stood on a high platform, looking down at me condescendingly, and then coldly commanded—
"Call me Your Majesty."
Without a doubt, he projected the negative emotions he received from Catherine onto Isaac.
Although he knew it was just a dream, he still felt uneasy.
Magicians should try to avoid dreaming, and even if they do dream, they should try to dream things that have nothing to do with themselves.
Lunagal Academy has a course offered only to senior students called "Dream Divination and Interpretation".
Dreams themselves are the highest mystery.
A magician's dreams are usually omens of the future.
As a magician, Yun Wei was well aware of this, so he found it difficult to offer empty words of comfort.
Such comfort is nothing but self-deception.
Then he suddenly noticed that the wall clock had already struck 1:30.
That afternoon, he had arranged to have afternoon tea with Vivian.
The appointment time was 2 PM, and the location was in the newly opened commercial area in the northwest corner of Moonflower City, far from the palace.
The area, which had been damaged by the Blacksock Legion's attack, has become a new popular destination in the city after more than two months of repairs.
Time is running out.
Yun Wei quickly got up and hurried out of the palace.
As a result, he bumped into Isaac, who was returning home.
That day, the other person was wearing a dark blue fitted robe with a light purple patterned cloak tied behind him, looking majestic and extremely handsome.
Why are you back?
Why haven't you left yet?
The two spoke almost in unison.
"I'm coming back to take a nap. Dealing with those old foxes is really tiring." Isaac looked at Yun Wei with regret, appearing extremely aggrieved. "If you could stay with me, I definitely wouldn't be tired."
Yun Wei knew he was joking.
He gave the other person a hasty hug, then walked around the tall knight. "I forgot the time, I'm going to be late. I'll talk to you tonight."
Isaac leaned against the door, watching with amusement as Yun Weifeng hurriedly ran away.
He took off his coat, hung it up, and then lay down on the bed.
The afternoon sun shone through the thin gauze curtains into the bedroom, except for the desk by the window, which gleamed exceptionally bright. The reflected light shone on the ceiling decorations, casting an ornate yet impractical shimmer and ultimately illuminating the room.
A solitary afternoon nap brings an inexplicable loneliness.
It's so quiet here.
In the distance, one can still hear the clamor of cicadas, but nearby, all one can hear is the relentless ticking of the second hand. In this deafening rotation of the wheel, it is moving forward to the next second without hesitation.
After much thought, Isaac finally took the pillow that Yun Wei had used and hugged it tightly to his chest.
The other person also had a very faint aura, which always reminded him of the snow that never melts on Mount Moriti.
Perhaps he should have come back half an hour earlier.
The king frowned in annoyance, tightening his grip on the pillow.
...
A beautiful duplex platform has been built in the northwest corner. Yun Wei finds it hard to believe that this red and white building could be completed in just two months.
It is said that a new technique from Bethlehem was used during its construction. When magic and craftsmanship were combined, a profession with distinctive characteristics of the continent of Zhuyuan was born: the "Magic Craftsman".
At that moment, he and Vivian were sitting by the window in the private room, enjoying the warm afternoon sun.
Strangely enough, sunlight is also very precious on the Zhuyuan Continent.
His hometown was the same.
Sunlight is scarce there, and a strange sun worship has existed since ancient times. On sunny days, the streets, alleys, squares and parks are filled with people sitting or lying down, basking in the sun.
Just like the folk song goes, "The sun is rising, how joyful!"
“You look beautiful when you smile,” Vivian couldn’t help but compliment. “It’s much better than before. Just now, you seemed worried and didn’t know how to start a conversation.”
"Really? You noticed. I have been looking a bit tired lately." Yun Wei snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "Let's not talk about me. How have you been lately?"
"I'm alright, I guess." The blonde girl narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly. "Speaking of which, I'm currently working as an apprentice assistant for Lord Victor. Perhaps after I graduate, I'll stay at Lunagal Academy."
Actually, she was being very modest.
In fact, the other party intended for her to inherit the dean's mantle.
The position of Dean of Luna Caleb Academy was originally held by the Moon Goddess Luna, as nothing is better for cultivating spiritual power than being a priest.
"That's great. From now on, I can call you Teacher Vivian." Yun Wei thought for a moment and then asked, "Lord Victor, have you returned to the academy recently?"
Vivian nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. They seem to have made a new discovery underground in Red Moon City, um... it seems to be about ancient equipment. They've been busy communicating with Senior Sid lately."
When the alchemy master, who has recently gained increasing fame in mainland China, was mentioned, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
It was perfectly normal for the ruins of the Second or First Dynasty to exist beneath Red Moon City, and Yun Wei didn't take it to heart.
The two chatted casually for a while longer.
Yun Wei took a piece of tea snack.
Today's tea snacks are a new style of baked pastry, with a golden and crispy crust on the outside, and a sweet and soft filling like pudding, mixed with fresh baked jam.
It tastes good, but for him, the sweetness is really too much.
However, at that moment, Vivian suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Yun Wei, I want to apologize to you."
The other party spoke so solemnly that it startled Yun Wei.
He quickly covered his mouth and hastily swallowed the tea and snacks. "What's wrong, Weiwei?"
"Yes, that's right. I didn't realize before that my behavior might not have been appropriate." The girl lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected. "But later, after seeing what happened between Allen and my brother, I realized that the feelings of the people involved are the most important."
Yun Wei was unaware of Allen's relationship with Alejo, so he was completely confused.
So Vivian then gave him a brief explanation.
This is a tragic love story that most likely doesn't have a happy ending.
A devout little beggar fell in love with an ice blade that could never be warmed.
The icy blade pierced the little beggar, but it also froze and merged into his blood.
Perhaps one day, Iceblade will discover this, but by then, the little beggar who watered him will no longer belong to him.
“Actually, I saw it very clearly. To my brother, Allen was definitely different. After he went to the monastery, Alejo was restless for a long time, but I didn’t know that at the time…” Vivian said, tears welling up in her eyes.
After listening, Yun Wei remained silent for a long time.
He awkwardly tried to comfort him, saying, "Actually, you can't entirely blame your brother; he's just sick. As for Allen, perhaps when he sees the truth, he'll meet someone better..."
Whether he said something wrong or not, Vivian cried even harder after hearing it.
The other person's crying was also very elegant, without any wailing. Instead, they just sat there, tears streaming down their face as if they didn't care about money.
This reminded him of the legend of the Rose family members turning into bubbles.
Yun Wei could only remain silent.
He suddenly realized that the other person just wanted to find a suitable person to confide in about this embarrassing story.
This can be considered a 'secret'.
The girl in front of him was not only his friend, but also Vivian Rose.
He is the first in line to inherit the Kingdom of Blackthorn.
Once the other person had calmed down, Yun Wei continued gently, "At least, you've helped me and Isaac a lot. Personally, I really like Isaac. So, I should be thanking you."
Upon hearing this, Vivian was stunned for a long time before finally bursting into laughter through her tears.
She covered her eyes with her lace gloves, as if blushing. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I was really out of line just now. If possible, Yunwei, please forget what I did."
Yun Wei readily agreed.
Vivian didn't stay any longer. After promising to meet Yun Wei again next time, she got up and took her leave.
Once the other party had gone far away, Yun Wei let out a soft sigh.
In fact, personally, he doesn't like to hear stories with bad endings.
After all, life is already difficult enough. If we can't use stories to express some beautiful aspirations, it can really make people depressed.
For example, the story of Alch and Aragorn that he heard from Catherine.
That was another "version" of the "truth" about Holy Night, far from the beautiful script written by those involved.
He sighed again.
It was nearly dusk, and the shops downstairs were already packing up to close, the sound of wooden planks hitting each other muffled and dull.
Yun Wei was also preparing to return.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, he saw a tall and imposing knight standing opposite him on the high platform.
The other person's hair was fiery red, and at that moment, they were staring at him intently.
