"I had a nightmare."

Adrian admitted.

"Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary dream. Although it has been a long time since this happened, but..."

He was a little helpless, but when he thought about it carefully, this magic shop had already witnessed the most embarrassing moment for him and Feit, so the next words were not so difficult to say.

"When I was the 'Duke of Langton' and Veit was on a lot of adventures, I used to wake up in the middle of the night. Well, he doesn't know that, please don't tell him."

Guanlan listened and replied politely: "Of course."

Adrian continued: "The reason why I said 'originally'... I soon realized that this dream would continue to move forward. In the beginning, I was just taken away—taken out of the forest .”

Li Ang did not appear, but other adventurers found him.They exchanged the delirious Adrian for a large sum of gold coins, and what happened next made Adrian's brows furrowed deeply.

Even if it's just a dream, and I'm just a bystander in the dream, it's still not a pleasant memory.

Fortunately, this part of the content is over quickly.Anyway, some dark mage showed up.Adrian felt that he had seen the other person's face on a wanted warrant, but that was too long ago.

He was not quite sure, so he could only reluctantly describe it to Guanlan: "He wanted to find an elf to do magic experiments. Unfortunately, just after hearing about the whereabouts of the elf, he learned that the other party had been taken away by Jonalin's caravan. It was at this time , he found 'I'.

"Probably thought I might be a half-elf, or at least try. Anyway, he took 'me' with him.

"'I' was subjected to some experiments. The good news is that during that process, I regained my sanity a little bit. The bad news is that by the side of the dark mage, 'I' was gradually polluted."

It was a dream.Adrian told himself.

His real experience is quite different, so there is no need to worry about the content of a dream.

Sitting here now, it is just that he wants to confirm with Guanlan——

Adrian: "The 'me' has changed a lot. In a way, that's... probably not 'me' anymore.

"About a few years, yes, that's what the dream told me. In short, 'I' used some methods to get rid of the control of the dark mage, and finally returned to the capital.

"At that time, of course, there was no room for 'I' in the capital. But the dark magic was easier to use than I imagined. With its help, 'I' quickly regained the title and territory.

"It's not enough, 'I' have always felt that way. But what is missing?

"Wealth, power...these are all within reach. Although 'I' is still just a duke, Kadir VII is obsessed with elves, and other nobles are not worried.

"Although I don't have the title of regent, 'I' has indeed become the undisputed person in the kingdom. Even other countries are gradually being controlled by 'I'.

"But it's not enough. 'I' was not satisfied with it. On the contrary, the darkness eroded 'me' and made 'me' want more... 'I' was full of hatred, ah, there is 'hope' in this world Bury with me' thoughts."

Having said that, Adrian smiled wryly and rubbed his forehead.

"Actually, I discovered very early on that Faith is not by 'me'. However, 'I' doesn't seem to care about this. After all, after becoming the Duke again, it is impossible for 'me' to lack knights.

"But none of them are Feit. I thought the 'I' didn't care, but in fact, he probably did.

"So on the following day, he saw a necromancer and a knight controlled by that necromancer. Although I was just a bystander, I seemed to feel his mood.

"Desperation, pain, people who thought they were already swallowed by darkness, can be overwhelmed by more darkness.

"He killed the necromancer." Adrian said, "but, Fayt—— Fayte who has become an undead knight, his consciousness has disappeared. Even if he keeps the undead knight by his side, it can't be changed. What."

Unknowingly, Adrian changed his name in the dream.

He was quiet for a moment, as if trying to calm himself down.Then, he looked at Guanlan again.

"Two questions." Adrian said, "Is it still possible for this to happen? I mean, the me who was polluted by the curse, and the... Faith."

Guanlan looked at him with a calm and objective tone, "You also said that the real situation is that you left the Emerald Forest ahead of time, and Feit also found you in the Iris City."

Hearing this, Adrian's expression softened slightly.

Then, he asked again: "But why did I dream these things? I've heard that some mages have dreams related to the future."

Guanlan thought about it and said: "There is such a situation. You can understand it as a kind of 'conditions are met, magic is activated'. Just like a contract document, the words themselves can constitute magic. The conditions for the formation of prophecy magic are more complex. It is more difficult to summarize. You may have completed its requirements in the past day or two, or it may have been in the past year, two years, or longer."

Adrian listened intently.

Guanlan corrected himself: "Well, it shouldn't be 'one day or two days'. You also said that the situation presented in the prophecy is completely different from your later experience, so the magic should have been activated earlier. .”

"That is to say," Adrian grasped the key point, "the things I dreamed are indeed 'possible' to become reality. But, has it been changed long ago?"

Guanlan said casually, "It can be understood in this way."

Adrian's heart beat a little faster.He didn't know whether he was more fortunate or more afraid, so he murmured at this moment: "How could it be?"

"At certain moments, certain people made different choices," Guanlan said.

Adrian looked at him, and saw a ray of light appearing in front of Guanlan.

That point of light began to move forward, bringing out a long line in the air.

The owner of the magic shop said slowly: "Everyone, every day, has to make a lot of choices... These choices may not have much impact, or they may change the whole world."

The thin lines branched in the air, becoming more and more complicated.Adrian was almost fascinated by this scene, and faintly felt the magic elements around him vibrate accordingly.

Guanlan realized.As a dragon god whose life form is far higher than this world, his random demonstrations carry the power of "rules".

He had no choice but to withdraw the aura, and quickly concluded: "The prophecy is not 'something that will definitely happen', but 'something that may happen'. But any change can make the original prophecy irreversible." exist."

Adrian's eyelids trembled, and he felt that the stone in his heart was shattering and disappearing.

He suddenly asked: "Then, the bottle of potion you gave Feit back then—" After a pause, he met Guanlan's eyes.

Adrian stopped.He didn't say his question again, but just said sincerely: "Thank you."

Guanlan said: "I have heard these two words before."

Adrian: "But I still have to say it. When Feit comes back, I will bring him again."

Guanlan shrugged, with a look of "you are free".

Adrian couldn't help but asked again: "By the way, what you said before, the tree of life?"

In various heroic epics, this is the sacred object of the elves.Now that the kingdom of elves has left, will the tree of life still exist?

To this, Guanlan replied: "The blood of the elves can be passed on to you, and so can the tree."

"...so," Adrian concluded the next night, facing the dusty knights, "to be honest, I don't think this plan is better than adopting a child, teaching him, letting him break through the pressure of blood magic, before we leave And then sit in that seat ... keep it simple."

Faith looked at him quietly and said, "We can go both ways at the same time."

Adrian blinked.

He wanted to say whether there would be some kind of unfairness in this way.But soon, he remembered another sentence that the store owner said.

If he and Feit really have a child, everything about that child is uncertain.

"I'm kind of looking forward to it," Adrian murmured. "Maybe it's a good idea?"

Faith nodded slightly.Adrian thought, well, this topic should end here.

Then comes the next question.

Adrian: "However, Mr. Guan mentioned these all of a sudden. I went to him because of another matter."

After his words fell, Feit's expression was a little more surprised.

Adrian raised his eyebrows: "Of course I won't hide these questions from you... Well, at best, I need to confirm a little more details."

Faith listened, smiled and shook his head.But soon, the smile disappeared from his face, leaving only pity.

It was as if a hand had pinched his heart, making him almost breathless.

If he hadn't found Adrian back then, if he had really died in that forest—he had even met a necromancer!

After a while, fear came to Veit's mind.At the same time, Adrian's eyes fell on his face, observing carefully.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time.

"I'll never..." Faith said

Adrian: "I might—"

They stopped at the same time.

Looking at each other, Adrian smiled and said: "I may become the 'Dark Duke' and almost destroy this world. Although that day will not exist, but——if I really become like that, Fay Te, what are you going to do?"

He didn't want to admit that at this moment, he was actually a little nervous.

"I will be with you." Feit sighed softly, "I will never be separated from you, Adrian."

This is not a clear answer. Is "together" obedience or destruction?However, Adrian didn't care about this detail.

"Will you love me no matter what I become?" he asked.

Feit looked at him with deep eyes, and his shadow was full of brown pupils.

He said, "Of course."

Adrian smiled, and said briskly: "Me too—" When you were still a human being, you had a heartbeat and body temperature, and you could hold me in your arms.When you become a dry bone, you can obey all my requests, but you can't give me a heartfelt response.

It's just that the latter kind of love is too sad and desperate.Adrian was extremely fortunate that he was facing the previous Faith.

And he knew that Faith must have the same thoughts.

Their eyes met for a long time, until their breathing blended and their body temperature blended.

Another long night.
