dedicated to violets

"The realm of the sky." Viri chewed on the name, and couldn't help looking at the city at the end of the sky again.

"Don't look at it for too long, you'll hallucinate," Ignace said.

Viri looked away obediently, and the vast forest was slowly unfolding under his feet. He could feel the breeze brushing his cheeks, and he felt an indescribable joy.

Even though he knew very well that he was going to the dangerous and unpredictable Asgard, he still felt happy.The lover is by your side, and you fly into the sky with you, and fly through the forest, accompanied by the breeze and the blue sky, and your mood will also soar.

Along the Taotao river, through the valley, they came to the sky above the abandoned temple.

Asgard was still on the horizon, as if he couldn't get close no matter what.

If the world where humans and elves live is called the first space, then the altar is the second space, and the space opened by the bishop to overlap the altar is the third space.

Ignace explained that this was a deliberate obstacle set by the bishop.

——If you want to enter Asgard, you must find the second dimension, which is the altar.The real entrance, however, is miles away, in a temple in the valley.

Not only that, but the bishop deliberately moved the entrance into the third space, that is to say, he had to enter the third space from the altar and then go to the temple to find the real entrance.

Wei Li's head was confused: "He deliberately set up so many obstacles, why?"

"I don't know either." To his surprise, Ignas shook his head, "I haven't figured out what my father intends."

"Yes, you were a baby when the bishop died," Willie said.

Ignace laughed: "Perhaps there will never be another baby as old as me in the world."

Viri pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Ignas led him to land in the open space in front of the temple, and the collapsed building looked a bit lonely in the sunlight.Viri thought of something, and suddenly asked: "What about Asgard? Is it in the fourth dimension?"

Ignas chuckled: "No, it's hidden in the first space."

This was the first time Viri and Ignas walked into the temple side by side. The snow-white rock was covered with a dusty color due to its age.Ignas held Viri's hand, and they came to the stone sculpture in the center of the temple together.

He raised his head and stared at the melancholy and handsome face of the stone carving.

Viri finally discerned the subtle difference between the stone sculpture and Ignace.

Viri thought to himself that Ignas would not have such compassionate emotions. His emotions are actually very light, and he hardly talks to outsiders.He seems to have a normal expression only when facing him and his parents.

"This stone sculpture?" Willie wondered.

Ignas smiled without saying a word. He put his five fingers together like a blade. With a wave of his hand, the light of the blade danced and spun around the stone statue.The lifelike statue cracked with a crackling sound that made teeth ache.

"Low your head, squat down!" Ignas shouted while pressing his shoulders, staring fixedly at the broken stone sculpture.

Viri squatted down immediately, countless gravel exploded in all directions, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless.Ignas raised his cloak and covered Willi's head, blocking all flying stones.The relief of the cross of eternal life made of violets began to collapse inch by inch, dust was flying outside the temple, and the wind howled, rolling the gravel into the sky.

Ignas stood firmly in front of the stone sculpture, looking towards the skylight.

The cross hanging on the dome is slowly retracted, and the sunlight flows through the skylight in the temple.

The mural above the head peeled off in pieces to reveal another layer of paint underneath.

There a rainbow appeared, leading to the skylight and to the mountains outside the window.

Viri curled up beside Ignas, eyes closed tightly, unable to see anything.This made his other senses sharper. The murals peeled off from the dome, the gravel fell like sand, and the strong wind passed through the forest, causing the trees to dance with the wind...

And Ignace, the already faint scent of flowers on his clothes was almost gone at this moment.

A few minutes later, the temple was razed to the ground, and the forest and mountains disappeared. They stood on a cliff with the river roaring under their feet.Standing on the edge of the cliff, there is a wilderness on the other side of the river, with rolling mountains at the end, and the tops of the mountains are covered with snow that does not melt all year round.

In the wind, the grass waves in the field are surging.

Ignas lowered his head: "Veri, get up."

Viri slowly opened his eyes and saw a rainbow on the edge of the cliff, stretching into the sky, and finally disappearing in the clouds.He stared blankly, shocked.

"This is?" Viri looked at Ignas and stammered, "Are we going to walk over the rainbow?"

Ignas smiled and took his hand: "Yes, Willie, come with me."

Viri never thought that he would step on the rainbow.

This was his dream when he was a child. After the rain, the sky will clear up, and there will be a rainbow across the sky above the flower fields.He was still very young, lying on the window sill, looking up at the rainbow, and foolishly said to Ignas: "I want to play on the rainbow."

What did Ignace say then?

Willie thought about it, and he said, "Okay, one day I will take you to play on the rainbow."

Thirty years passed by like running water, but Ignas still returned to him, took his hand, and led him to the rainbow.

The temperature belonging to Ignas in the palm of his hand made his heart settle down. He shook his head and put the past memories behind him.He didn't have to raise his head again and again for those old memories, striding onto the rainbow.

"This is the Rainbow Bridge," said Ignace, "and it connects the human world to Asgard."

The clouds floated by the bridge, and Viri asked, "Where is that temple?"

"The statue is the center of the magic circle, and the temple is between the real and the fake. As long as the stone statue is destroyed, the whole temple will collapse." Ignas said lightly, "Not only the temple, but the valley is actually It's also a human illusion."

Willie couldn't help asking: "But I clearly saw those trees were burnt before."

"Illusions deceive people's eyes." Ignace said, "The scorched trees, the mountains that change with the seasons, and the collapsed temple are all illusions that my father deliberately constructed. As long as you are in the magic circle, You will be bewitched by the magic circle."

Viry: "Is that the magic of the gods?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Ignas shook his head, "That's not some god's spell. Father doesn't think there is any insurmountable gap between humans and gods."

While speaking, they were already on the top of the cloud.

At the end of the rainbow bridge is the magnificent city, Asgard.

The high city walls spread out to both sides, no matter whether you look to the left or to the right, you can't see the end.After crossing the city wall, he could vaguely see a spire protruding from the city.An incomparable momentum came suddenly, Viri's legs went limp, and he almost knelt down.

Ignas beside him said: "Veri, I can only go this far, and you need to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Viri was startled, and found that Ignas' figure gradually became transparent.

He panicked: "Then what should I do? Will you come back?"

Ignas raised the corners of his lips and revealed a gentle smile.

"Don't be afraid, I will come back, but you must hide it well before I come back, and you must not be found." Ignace said slowly, making sure that Willy could hear him clearly Every word, "Asgard's time flow rate is different from the world where humans live. Maybe you only walked a short distance, and the Holy See or the Magician's Guild appeared in Asgard."

"We must find the trace left by my father." His body turned into specks of light dust, floating in the air, "You can find it."

As the voice dissipated, Viri loosened his fingers, and the fabric in the palm finally turned into light.

The piano box seemed to be hot and buzzing, and he was the only one left on the Rainbow Bridge.The clouds gather and then disperse, and the wind blows the grass on the field like rolling waves.

Willie took a deep breath and collected himself.

Ignas' body was still sleeping in the World Tree, and he would have left, but he was already prepared, and now is not the time to be sad.

He raised his eyes and looked at the majestic Lost City in the sky.

As long as he enters Asgard, he can get all the answers.Randall's, Holy See's, and Ignace's...

The violet of the scepter was bathed in the power of the bishop, and over time, Ignas was born.

He wanted to know everything about Ignace, not just the past 30 years, but even earlier, going back to his birth.

Viri walked for a long time, and the Rainbow Bridge was endless.

There are only a few colors left in his vision, the green of the fields, the white of the snow-capped mountains, and the blue of the sky.As for Asgard, he could not tell what color it was, perhaps gray, perhaps black, or red.

From a long distance, he could also feel a vague smell of blood.

It weighed heavily on his heart, and it made Willy very uncomfortable.

He thought again of the snowy owl.

It seems that since he entered the altar, the snowy owl has disappeared.If Snowy Owl was around, he wouldn't be so boring and lonely.What's more, the snowy owl is the bishop's magic pet, and it may provide many clues when it enters Asgard.

Willie sighed, but it was useless to think about it now.

In order to relieve his loneliness, he began to think wildly.

He recalled the bishop glimpsed in the world tree, the seemingly ordinary Valentine couple.Those memories were mixed with a lot of information, stuffed into his brain, but he had no time to review and organize them.

And Randall, in order to avoid the Holy See, Randall told him everything he knew, choosing to end his life in such a tragic way.However, until now, Viri still can't figure out what is the mechanism of memory emergence?

He is often pulled into the memory for no reason, and the information he reads is also messy.

Rainbow Bridge is still very long, and he has a lot of time to recall and sort out.

Wei Li was thinking this way, but found that the sky darkened and suddenly turned into a magnificent azure color.

The snow-white clouds were also dyed red, floating over Asgard.The Rainbow Bridge under Viri's feet has also changed its appearance, becoming as clear as ice, and under the ice, there are flames burning like flowing gold.

He raised his head and saw Asgard not far away.

This time, he was only a few dozen steps away from this lost city, never approaching before.

The city gate opened slowly in front of his eyes, and Viri held his breath, trembling uncontrollably.This is the city where the gods lived before the twilight of the gods. In the past hundreds of years, no human beings may have been able to step here.

He will be the first to step into the Kingdom of God.
