I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

The distance from the inner hall to the main entrance of the palace is shorter than expected, and I don't know why.

Logically speaking, no matter how simple his palace is, he should at least pass through several halls, and meet wave after wave of people along the way...

But that's how weird it is.

It seems that just after going out of the inner hall, after a slight turn, the main entrance is in front of you.Of course, I have never met anyone other than Antaxia.

Vaguely, the man still noticed something strange.

It's just that, subject to some kind of limitation on his thoughts, he couldn't get out of the limitation that covered the top of his head in a short time.

"Is it that close?"

He was a little puzzled, and soon he didn't bother to care.

There are no guards at the main entrance, maybe a group of people have made an appointment to have dinner?

They knew that he wouldn't mind this dereliction of duty, and he usually only put on a show to ensure the majesty of the king. After all, the king who stayed in the palace didn't need protection at all.

The tightly sealed high door is made of heavy granite, and the surface is carved with twists and turns that are extremely fancy in the eyes of men.

With one hand, he pushed open the door that usually requires the efforts of several people to open, and when the light from the outside world officially fell in front of him, he narrowed his eyes indiscriminately.

In addition to the reason that the sun is still exceptionally bright, there is also the reason for the scene outside the door seen at this time.

"..."

"How not……"

Still so weird.

Immediately outside the palace was an empty square, and there was no one in sight, and it was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

——Why is there no one?

The doubts in the man's mind made him pause for two seconds with an unclear expression, and then he couldn't help thinking why he subconsciously felt that there must be someone outside.

Still without any hesitation, he concluded that what he saw when he opened the door must be a crowded and lively scene.

……strangeness.

It's indescribably strange.

His head was aching, and the difference between imagination and reality brought a brief blank period to his thoughts, which just provided some weirder and completely contradictory ideas to breed.

——Lively, don’t I hate noisy and noisy places the most?How could it be possible to think...

—Wait a second, is it really annoying?Why does it feel like, a long time ago...

Men do not like places that are too loud, and their intolerance to noise is not limited to taking a nap, and they don't like being in trouble because of it.

The man seems to like lively places, no matter the location is remote or prosperous, and the people he meets are tall, short, fat, thin, poor or rich, as long as there are voices and laughter, he will be very happy when he hears them.

No matter how you think about it, these two ideas are diametrically opposed, but they are both extremely distinct, and neither of them can be avoided at all.

The position of the temple suddenly tingled sharply like a needle prick, the man really couldn't explain why these two split thoughts could coexist.

He closed his eyes slightly in front of the upright door, and lost his mind for a moment because of being dazed for no reason.

And just after this period of loss of consciousness that I felt was very short, but I couldn't tell how long it had passed.

The voice calling to him appeared again.

"How do you..."

"It's just... come here..."

"If... it's..."

very noisy.

Not surprisingly, the sudden noise woke up the man who was frowning for a while, and raised his eyes in an instant, revealing the uncontrollable sharpness in his eyes.

However, no one was overwhelmed by this momentary eruption.

As if the pointer manipulating time quietly changes from static to rotating, in an instant, the internal mechanisms of all things in the world are reopened, and the sound of gears clicking and clicking turns into the most vivid and flexible sound in the world.

"King! You are here!"

"Are you out again to breathe? Haha, it's not good to be too busy. You should rest more."

Another moment, when the man opened his eyes amidst the clear noise, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

In the empty square, not to mention the sea of ​​people, but there are also some more people from scratch, out of thin air.

A lot of people popped up in front of him, but the man didn't even notice...

No, this is not normal.

The man was startled, no matter whether it was self-sufficiency or strong confidence, it was absolutely impossible for him to make such a big change without a trace in front of him.

But what happened to the person who suddenly appeared here?

With a suspicious look, he slowly scanned the people in front of him, and there was nothing unusual about those plain and unremarkable faces.

They seem to be just the most ordinary common people, just because they happened to see respectable people coming out of the palace when they were leisurely walking in the square one step away from the palace, so they rushed here enthusiastically.

"Have you eaten? Come to my house for dinner."

Someone actively invites first.

"Wang, thanks to your help, the broken roof of my house was repaired by the guards in just half a day! I'm going to trouble you for such a small matter..."

Someone's face was full of gratitude, with sincere emotions, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Let's go, Wang, it's almost time now, we just went to drink some—"

"It's not evening yet, and the tavern hasn't opened yet!"

That's right, some people even opened their mouths and asked him to go to a tavern for a drink-although they were first dismissed by the people next to them.

All the things that come in a crowd are all commonplace chores.

"........."

The man was a little speechless for a while.

It was very similar to the situation when he met Antaxia not long ago. After such a sudden encounter, his memory was inevitably messed up again.

The strange transformation of the front square from empty to noisy with human voices was strangely erased from the impression by the invisible hand.

He seemed to have forgotten the astonishing thing that happened just now in the blink of an eye, and thought hard for a long while amidst the chatter that was not afraid of him at all, and finally remembered that he should remember these people.

Every face that appears in the eyes has more or less impressions.

That's right, although he couldn't name everyone at this time, he had seen them.

And it's not just seeing him once or twice, it's the kind of familiarity that you can see once every half day or day.

Perhaps without knowing the details, the appearance of this scene is even more unimaginable than a dream.

If I'm not mistaken—it shouldn't be mistaken—a man is a king.

No matter how casual he behaves, no matter how narrow his palace is, he is still the king of a country.

These people are most likely his "subjects".

Under the huge concept of the country, the king is the highest status, and the subjects all accept the rule of the king, and they should have awe of the supreme ruler.

However, something is wrong with what's happening here.

The ordinary people who were the subjects were so enthusiastic that they blocked the king at the gate of the palace, and the noise was so loud that the noise was almost loud. They all wanted to invite the king to eat at their home/hang around/drink together at night...

It is not true that they do not respect the king of men.

It's easy to see that people just respect him so much that they genuinely—

... Pull him to chat?Chat with him?Meet him again to eat, drink and have fun?

They did, no doubt, respect him quite a bit.

There will be a result that seems to deviate from common sense... Although I still feel a little unbelievable after thinking about it, this can only be explained by this reason.

The people living in this country, while respecting the king, moreover, regard him as a friend and relative!

--why?

It is self-evident how surprised and shocked the man who discovered this is.

The intimacy between people, the respect, love and trust from the heart, even if hidden in the heart, will be revealed from the eyes.

Can't hide it at all.

This is still under the premise that I have not seen more people and only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

A restricted area that had always been solid as a rock suffered a huge earthquake, and after a crackling sound, a deep crack appeared on the surface.

It is impossible to determine what consequences this shock will bring besides the rift. After all, the thoughts of the man whose inner world has undergone such twists and turns are completely confused.

He wanted to know the reason—his subconscious told him the reason he must know—why the confusion, why he felt so full of mistakes and weirdness around him?

He didn't move for a long time, until this moment, the man was still standing firmly in front of the palace gate, his tall figure was like a stone carving, he didn't take another step forward.

Until one...or, countless voices quietly appeared.

They asked him softly: "You still don't want to come in?"

"For a long time, all the causes and effects, all the answers you want to pursue—"

And who sent the sigh from a distant and untraceable place.

"We will always be waiting for your return."
