The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

When Vanessa woke up, she was in a freezer.

Help--!

This was her first thought.

--why?

This was her second thought.

She pushed open the freezer door and sat up. The edge of the freezer where her fingers touched was slightly dented, and her name, "Vanessa", was engraved in beautiful cursive characters. She knew that this was the handwriting of the most outstanding craftsman of the dwarves.

Vanessa looked around in a daze, and of course, she didn't see any of her own race.

This is beyond doubt, rather, her waking up is the most incredible thing.because……

"If anyone can hear this sentence."

"What?! Pretending to be a ghost, come out!"

Vanessa, who was trying to climb out of the freezer, fell to the ground. The pain made her eyes red. She gritted her teeth and sat up while holding the freezer.She stroked her empty trouser legs with an extremely ugly expression.

"You may have discovered, yes, that the gnomes are extinct."

The voice came from all directions, briskly speaking explosive messages, "Maybe you are the last dwarf, who knows? Hey, are you a dwarf? Or a foreigner who strayed here? Well, whichever it is , sorry, but you won't see any live gnomes anymore - except for the sleeping gnome corpses here."

"Of course I know!" the girl with black hair and black eyes screamed loudly, "Damn it! Why am I still awake? Why haven't I returned to my original world? Why am I still here? Why am I still a dwarf? "

No one could answer her question.

Around her, there are rows and rows of freezers, and in each freezer lies a dwarf with a mutilated body.

In other words, this is not a freezer, but... an ice coffin.

This is the last burial place of the dwarves. The physically disabled dwarves were frozen and placed here, avoiding the fate of turning into nothingness with the rest of the dwarfs, but they will never wake up again.But their corpses can be left behind, and maybe other races who came to Kalodia can discover and study them.

However, she woke up.

When Vanessa collapsed and was unwilling to accept the reality, that voice continued to sound, with a brisk tone that seemed to be talking about things that had nothing to do with her.

"Hey, do you want to know why we exterminated the family?"

"Of course I know why the dwarves will exterminate the clan, you shut up! Who are you!!"

"Because of strong curiosity and outstanding action, we have created things that do not belong to this world. I am sure you have never seen such a great creation - no magic as a drive, no alchemy, hey , how can it be said that it is an alchemy creation? It is a complete mechanical product! That's right, we have touched the realm of the 'true god'!"

Vanessa gasped for breath, her mood fluctuated very much, sweat rolled down her cheeks, and her eyes were wide open. If she could find the guy who made this sound, she would be able to pounce on it and tear it apart !

"The research process is very difficult, but that doesn't bother us..."

"In the end, we also paid the price for our own pursuit of creativity, but you have to admit, it's a very beautiful thing, isn't it?"

Vanessa gritted her teeth and muttered to herself: "Yes, it's beautiful. How beautiful!"

Without the need for magical power, a mechanical puppet that can move freely can be created only by virtue of exquisite mechanisms and liquid flowing on intricate lines.

A power system that does not belong to this world at all is a miracle that belongs to another world.

But, she doesn't want to hear it!

Vanessa clearly knew that she was not a dwarf.

In other words, the original Vanessa was not a dwarf.

The author has something to say: she has an enviable family in another world. In another world, Vanessa is a mechanical engineer. She is free from illness, has a harmonious family, and lives smoothly.Until one day, when Vanessa opened her eyes, she found that she had become a disabled dwarf. She didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't accept it, so Vanessa collapsed.

When she finally accepted the fact, as the parents of this dwarf body, the parents who helped her accept the reality died tragically in front of her.

She thought maybe it was just a dream, a nightmare.As long as she dies, she will be able to return to her own world and return to the parents she misses.

Therefore, when the dwarves were self-destructing, she did not hesitate to advance and retreat with the dwarfs. It can even be said that Vanessa, who imparted all the knowledge she has, is accelerating the untouchable areas of the dwarves. , until the condition of extinction.

But why?Why did she wake up again?

This time he didn't even have anyone to talk to, everyone was dead, but she was alive!Why the hell is she still alive? !

"Shut up, shut up, shut up shut up shut up!!!"

Vanessa escaped.

The veins in her hand holding the ice coffin throbbed violently, and she dragged her legs to move out desperately. As long as she could escape from this basement, the damned voice would disappear, right?

Why only her?Why only her?Why only her? !

Vanessa was thinking hysterically, but her body was trembling uncontrollably—is she going to face the eternal silence in Carodia alone, looking forward to the foreigners who don't know when they will enter this place?

No, no, she won't!

Anyone is fine, no matter who, whoever comes—

"Are you okay?" The young man with white hair and white robes appeared out of nowhere and reached out to her: "Are you Vanessa?"

His smile was extremely gentle, and his tone was so gentle that water could be squeezed out. Vanessa looked at him blankly, and didn't even care that the other party called her name.

"Sorry, I seem to have brought back bad memories for you."

The young man with his eyes closed held a box in his hand, which was a creation of a dwarf. The sound that made Vanessa mad came from this box, connecting to the underground room where the dwarf's ice coffin was placed.Following the man's words, the voice in the box also disappeared.

"I'm Cecilia Sager. I originally wanted to visit an old friend and ask for help, but I didn't expect... The glory of the dwarf clan is the chief culprit for the downfall of the dwarves."

The young man heaved a long sigh: "...the dwarf race is already extinct. Fortunately, there is still you."

Vanessa didn't speak.

The young man's voice had a strange rhythm, which miraculously subsided her restlessness and uneasiness.

The white-haired young man opened his eyes, and those gray and out-of-focus pupils "looked" at the embarrassed Vanessa: "The last descendant of the dwarf clan, please help me."

"What do you want me to do? What can you give me?" Vanessa asked in a strange way.

True words: Tomorrow I will defend my defense!The groundhog screamed.Thank you "fdcb5" for the grenade and rocket launcher, it's expensive>/////
