Arcane Journey

Chapter 202: Heart

Sometimes time is very slow, like a year, and sometimes it is fast, like a fleeting moment, but time passes through Helisite's heart, but it is calm and calm, without causing any waves.

Since Brian brought her into the territory of Mokou Town, the lord who had been in office for less than a month, did not let himself follow him into the town immediately, but asked her to wait here for a while and go back immediately.

In this regard, Helisite, who has always been indifferent, has no objection and obeys her words.

Recalling the mysterious smile in his bright and deep eyes, she understood that his every move had his own deep meaning.

She looks calm and relaxed, standing facing the wind, under the morning light, her complexion is as crystal clear as jade, like a crescent moon.

While waiting patiently, Helisite couldn't help feeling dazed when she recalled her journey along the way, and some memories that were out of reach for her inexplicably appeared in her heart.

"Harris, for psionians who practice the secret art of all-spirited power, there is nothing more than the word 'quiet'. Only by being calm can one realize the beauty of the soul and penetrate into every corner of the heart. I know you."

These are the words that Herister's mentor said to her when she was 15 years old when she first mastered the spiritual power inheritance of the world of Atas.

Helisite has been extremely talented since she learned the way of psionic energy from her mentor since she was a child.

But for some reason, her mentor thought that the spiritual talent of the mind like still water is not an insurmountable shackle of the secret method of all-spirited power.

At that time, she didn't know the true meaning of these words, and had been following her mentor's last words to practice spiritual power.

She thought her heart was as calm as water, but she never expected that the appearance of Brian caused ripples in her seemingly peaceful heart.

As the warm wind blows past, Helisite raised her slender jade hands, lightly brushed her hair that was blown by the breeze, her beautiful and indifferent face gradually showed a little bit of a comfortable smile.

Once, the ancient evil that destroyed the world, the Death Star, searched for the lost world of Atas... This heavy burden was on her shoulders, making her delicate body overwhelmed.

She lived in the dark like a walking corpse, until a faint starlight appeared, like the hope in her life, shining on her body.

On the edge of darkness, the light is most dazzling.

At that time, she seemed to be wandering through the ruins of ruins when it was warm and cold, immersed in the desolation, and inadvertently, her fragile heart had a little expectation.

In the late winter, everything is still dormant in a dark corner, drunk in a gentle dreamland.

Among the dead branches and rotted leaves everywhere, there is all withered yellow, without the slightest greenness, and without the vitality that life should have.

Life seems to be telling the tragedy after decline.

Under the ruins, I don't know how many laughter and greenery have been buried.

She was alone, walking silently, and could only look forward to meeting something to comfort her traumatized soul.

However, it seems that everything is being annihilated, except the withered yellow...

Disappointed, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of some greenery. Under a collapsed corner of a wall, some greenery seemed to emerge from the soil.

She stepped forward quickly, hoping, perhaps, that was what she was looking forward to—an encounter, that is, the so-called hope.

As it got closer, she finally saw its face clearly - a few grasses under the ruins.

Xiaocao's slender body swayed with the wind, as if she was still afraid of the severe cold, but she never fell down.

The two tender green leaves stretch gently, as if giving the world a warm hug.

It contrasts with the surrounding withered yellow and sets off its green. What kind of green is that? It is not like the dark green after growth, without its maturity, nor like the miserable green before withering, without its decadence.

It is a pure light green, not mixed with any color, descending to this unawakened world in the most primitive form when it was born.

It is the most courageous greenness, it is the hope of all births, even though it is immature, but the touch of greenness under its withered yellow, in Helisite's heart, it is the most beautiful surprise in the world!

The north wind howls, even if the wind blade hits the body, it will tenaciously cling to the ground, even if it sways, it will not fall down. It is a kind of fearless spiritual pillar.

At this moment, it is ups and downs in the bad, like a dance, in the hearts of desperate people, it is performing its own splendor.

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful moment.

Perhaps Brian met her during this relationship. When she was most frustrated and helpless, Brian was like a star guiding her, guiding her forward in the dark.

He told her: "In desolate hopelessness, there is never a lack of hope for another door at any time."

So she understood that success or failure lies only in having a beautiful encounter.

Because he can inspire her and raise the sails for her to sail out of adversity.

Helisite couldn't help sighing secretly: A simple meeting, whether small or huge, will always change people's state of mind and give her the source of spirit.

Perhaps this is not the first green grass in early spring, the first greenness, but the tenacity under the ruins, the hope of life under the ruins, the infinite growth under the ruins, after all, is full of desire for success.

She met the person she wanted to meet in thousands of years, in the wilderness with no limit of time, neither one step too early nor one step too late.

They seemed to have nothing else to say, they could only ask softly: "Oh, are you here too?"

She wants him to know that there is always someone waiting for him in this world, no matter when or where, he just needs to know that there is always such a person.

She still remembers deeply that the two of them stepped into an astral dimension leading to the main material world, and because they were far away from the rules of the small world, her strength was briefly confused.

Doom never spared anyone, and they encountered the 'Star Pirates' githyanki.

Although Brian was seriously injured, he still stood in front of him.

She remembered him saying: "Come on! You chicken breeders, if you want to hurt my friend, you have to step over my dead body!"

She still remembered that he couldn't even breathe smoothly at that time, but his eyes were so tenacious. She would never forget him at that time.

"You go first, see you in Silvermoon City!"

He pushed her away, dropped a word, destroyed the astral vascular in the growth stage, and got involved in the psychic storm with the githyanki.

She was rescued by the Yinyue Dragon Queen who happened to pass by, but when she turned around, she could not find him.

At that time, she shed sad tears for the first time, knowing that tears are so bitter.

For countless days and nights in Silvermoon City, she kept searching for his traces in the star realm, wrote his name on the paper, drew his voice and smile, and looked forward to meeting him again in Silvermoon City.

In terms of age, she is hundreds of years older than Brian. Since the beginning, she has been trying to treat him as a young half-elf student as a mentor, even if he successfully found the way to the main material world. She didn't even give him a word of approval for his astral realm management.

But it wasn't until that day that she really felt that her Brian was a man who could withstand all difficulties and was her only reliance.

He was young and ambitious, and for the promise he made when he was young, he traveled thousands of miles and wandered, delaying the time of the world's destruction by himself.

Facing the inhumane genocide, he drew his sword to help save the civilians from fire and water. He even refused to listen to her dissuasion and beheaded the butcher king himself without hesitation.

He was tenacious and unyielding, and led the mercenaries and adventurers in Longshou Port to fight against the invaders. He revived all the way, and as soon as he climbed to the top, countless capable people with lofty ideals loyal to him, and restored the prosperity and clarity of this troubled world.

Before she knew it, he had become her center, her hope of saving the small world and finding the lost Athas.

Only now did she realize the true meaning of her mentor's words.

"The psychic talent with a heart like still water is an insurmountable shackle for the secret method of all-spirited manifestation."

indeed so.

Psions discover more extensive and powerful spiritual power through continuous study of their own spiritual consciousness.

They meditate on their memories and their nature, wrestle with fragments of their personality, and reach into the dark corners of their minds.

I know you!

Not just a psion's motto, but a path to great power.

It is true that the psychic talent with a mind like still water can allow her to master all the six domains of psions as quickly as possible, but when she is looking for herself, her mind that cannot splash a single ripple will become the biggest obstacle to her understanding of your body. Tough bondage.

Helisite was really glad that she met him. He quietly opened her heart, let her have layers of emotions in her heart, and gave her new hope.

She could feel that the perfect fusion of the personalities of the remaining two psicrystal servants was not as far away as she imagined.

This made her recall that the two of them had a pleasant exchange in their own sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

That feeling is as if she was intoxicated in the colorful clouds, sleeping peacefully in the warm sunshine, making her nostalgic for going back and forth, unable to extricate herself...

The sudden sound of galloping horseshoes interrupted Helisite's deep thinking, and she couldn't help but secretly blamed herself for being able to lose her mind in the wilderness.

She flicked her loose silver hair and followed the sound.

The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were whirling. A troop of cavalry was heading in its direction, and the flag of the purple dragon fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

This group of tall and burly cavalry were all dressed in field plate armor, steel helmets, and a battle robe with a purple dragon logo.

A gorgeous carriage was clustered in the middle of the procession.

Purple Dragon Knight of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

Helisite recognized the origin of this group of people and nodded thoughtfully.

When the team was about to approach them, they stopped suddenly, lined up, got off their horses, held the reins, and stood straight on the spot, as if they were welcoming them.

As she imagined, she saw Brian lift the curtain and step out of the carriage.

As usual, he was wearing a new woolen coat with a wide belt and silver-plated buckles, and a dark purple cloak that flapped in the breeze.

As the lord of Mokou Town, he dressed in such simple clothes, but this still couldn't conceal the nobility of human royal family and the elegance of elves revealed in his behavior.

Especially those eyes that impressed her deeply, as deep as if there was a vast starry sky hidden inside, and shining like obsidian stones.

When she was slightly lost in thought, Brian had quietly come to her. She could clearly see the sharp-edged face, and when she smiled, there was an elf's softness.

Only now did she realize that she had always been attracted to Brian's eyes, but had never paid attention to his face.

"I kept you waiting for a long time."

"No."

His voice brought her back to reality, she subconsciously avoided looking, and hurriedly answered.

Seeing Hellist's strange expression, Brian was startled slightly, smiled and stretched out his right hand, and said to her: "On behalf of the Kingdom of Cormyr, I welcome the lord of Silvermoon, Ms. Kou Town."

His voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

The row of purple dragon knights behind him all showed shocked expressions when they heard the words, and they looked in disbelief at the handsome and refined Silver Moon City Lord standing against the wind.

After all, the Purple Dragon Legion is mainly composed of young nobles who joined as officers and knights. They naturally know what the arrival of this female lord from Silvermoon City means.

They subconsciously looked at the back of their lord, as if they were thinking that during the time when the lord disappeared, they actually got involved with the Lord of Silver Moon.

As a Psychic, in the face of such a scene, Helisite quickly regained her composure, calmed herself down, and controlled her voice.

"It's really flattering to be greeted by the lord of Mokou Town in person." She held Brian's slender and powerful right hand and said in a slightly teasing tone on purpose.

"It's my honor." Brian let go of her slender hand, stepped out of the way, and pointed to the carriage, "Please get in the carriage."

He sent Hellist to the carriage, and greeted the purple dragon knights.

"Let's go, go back to Mokou Town."

The horses neighed, the wheels rolled, and a group of people drove towards Mokou Town.

In the spacious carriage, Hellist leaned on a comfortable cushion and looked at Brian who was only a small table away from her with a strange expression.

He sat cross-legged, playing with a deck of cards on the table in his hands, and she said in a soft voice, "Actually, you don't have to bother. Brian, these are all polite, I don't mind at all."

"But I don't mind." Brian glanced at her and joked with a smile:
"Anyway, you are also the lord of Silvermoon City. With such a noble status, you condescend to my small place. If you are wronged again, those members of the Silver Federation will not poke me, the little lord of Mokou Town. scolded by the spine."

Helisite brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and a smile could not help but float on the corner of her mouth.

Brian glanced at the psion opposite him with a subtle expression.

He could clearly feel that the goodwill between himself and this beautiful elf had increased by one step.

He didn't think much about it, after all, it was a very rude behavior to stare at women all the time.

"This is the wizard tower blueprint I designed."

So, he took out a dozen sheepskin scrolls that he had already prepared, and said to her, "I have prepared all the materials for the construction of the wizard's tower. Before you return to Mokou Town, you can check in advance to see what you need." place to change."

Helisite is a psion in the legendary field, who has mastered the "Legendary Supernatural Art". With just one thought, she can instantly build her wizard tower, which can save him a lot of time.

"There are definitely things that need to be changed."

Hellist studied the drawings carefully, looked up at Brian, parted her red lips, and said seriously:

"I invested at least half of the wizard's tower for you, but you didn't even design a private room for me."
