They seek comfort in assimilation, and gradually erode in this comfort.

It is in this environment that there are refugees who have nothing all around them.A boy who has never experienced despair, seems out of place in the all-inclusive Eredel.

"This is... the world of painting, and it is also your hometown."

——Start a new story from the perspective of the protagonist.

At the beginning of the chapter, Claire and the others described a sufficiently comfortable and peaceful world.Instead of continuing the previous story of the abyss and ashes, a brand new story was printed in front of their eyes.

It is distinguished from the present world, and this is the only destination for all the abandoned.

——The "painting world" isolated from the world in the ice and snow.Obviously it should be a setting like a paradise, but the description in the book makes people feel inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.

'World in a picture'? !

What an amazing setting!Claire's eyes widened in shock.

'It actually stuffed the world into a small picture scroll. Is this the handwriting of the gods? ' Claire was in awe.

For things that are far beyond cognition and common sense, she can't help but associate them with the gods she thinks are the most powerful.

"Sullivan... what are you thinking?" In the snowy painting world, the gentle beauty with long hair asked her son softly.

The black-haired boy withdrew his gaze from looking at the arakkoa lying on the ground in the distance, and finally raised his head to look at his mother.

"Since it is a place where refugees with nothing survive. Mother, have you lost anything?"

"Maybe. But it doesn't matter anymore. I've forgotten it," Sullivan's mother said softly and affectionately.

"Although this place is regarded as a gathering place for waste, it is much more peaceful and peaceful than the outside world. With Sullivan's company, my mother is now living at ease."

Seeing this, Clare hesitated to speak, and felt even more strange in his heart.

This woman—what's going on.

Mingming said 'waste gathering place', but he didn't feel caring at all, but the reaction was very gentle.

In the book, Sullivan's ascetic handsome face is still silently watching his mother expressionlessly.He thought for a while, and asked his mother softly if she ever thought about going out into the world.

People who fled from the outside world had nothing for a long time, so how could they be willing to return to the world full of sadness and despair for them.Mother naturally gave a negative answer!

... Sullivan was silent.

The plot advances rapidly. Although the boy named Sullivan in the book didn't say anything after that, Claire and the others faintly felt from the lines that the boy still had certain ideas about the outside world.

Seemingly feeling that Sullivan was paying too much attention to the outside world, the somewhat disturbed mother began to teach Sullivan the special freezing magic that only exists in the world of painting.

She hoped to use this magic to make Sullivan happy, and by the way, turn her attention to magic instead of worrying about external affairs.

She knew her son must be interested in the outside world.

Unlike others, Sullivan has lived in the painting world since he was born, and he has never seen the outside world.

'Whether the outside world is as comfortable and peaceful as the world of painting, as comfortable as dead silence.Or will it be another completely different wonderful-world? ’ Sullivan often pondered such thoughts when he sat quietly by himself.

"..." Claire felt a little blocked when she saw this.

A bird trapped in a cage will one day want to spread its wings and fly high.Although the girl didn't know any allusions about yearning for freedom, she was very touched by that feeling.

' Poor Sullivan!I have been living in such a lifeless painting world since I was born.If I were allowed to live in a place like this, I would definitely go crazy. ' thought Clare.

Although there are no settings or deeds related to Ashes and Abyss, the story still inherits the usual heaviness and darkness of the Black Soul.

Claire, who had been looking forward to the scene of Ashes and Fran's Undead Team, was completely attracted to the plot, temporarily forgetting her previous purpose.

'Would Sullivan try to sneak out? 'Suddenly, an idea was born irresistibly in the girl's mind.

at the same time--

In the palace, Princess Chenxi looked at the story in the book silently, and then looked at the illustrations on the new page.

It was a picture of his mother hugging Sullivan. The woman in the picture was gentle and quiet, and Sullivan, wrapped in his mother's warm embrace, was also sitting quietly looking at the unchanging painting world in the distance.

Covered in silver, year-round... The world of painting has never changed.

In the lower right corner of the illustration, there is such a sentence written, which is the expectation that the mother gave to Sullivan: "Lean in my arms with peace of mind!"Sullivan!Just stay with mother like this.That's fine, as long as it's fine.Stop worrying about the outside world. '

The little princess was a little complicated in her heart, she suddenly thought of herself, and she had never left the capital to see the outside world.

For a while, she looked at Sullivan who was restrained by her mother's tender embrace in the book, and was stunned.

Did Sullivan's mother love him?

Of course I love it.But his mother prevented Sullivan from yearning for the outside world.

The little princess looked depressed for a moment.

She didn't know if Sullivan's mother was right or not, but she... didn't like it.

Thinking that she and Sullivan seemed to be in the same situation, the little princess became even more absent-minded.

The world outside the book is just a flash, but the protagonist in the book, Sullivan, has been in the painting world for several years.

At this time, Sullivan had thoroughly learned that special freezing magic, and even created the new magic of [Frozen Weapon] by himself.

For the first time, his superb magical talent and talent were revealed.

"It's amazing! Sullivan!"
