Regardless, Leon gave everyone a new password. Using the password, they entered the depths of the illusion, which, like last time, led to a book.

Based on the previous experience, touching the book will take you to Amy's room.

But this time, things took a slight turn; the place where they appeared wasn't in Amy's room, but in the hallway.

Last time, Amy's room was sunny and warm, but this time the corridor was dark and cold, as if one was daytime and the other was nighttime.

[Fischl's voice came through: "Your Majesty, Father and Mother, may you be well. Today should be a day of celebration for the Pure Land of Night, and I hope that you two can spare some time..."]

Fischl was interrupted by her father before she could finish speaking: "Little Amy, you're already this old, and you still say those things."

Fischer's mother added, "You're a big girl now, don't believe those things in fairy tales anymore."

Fischl: "But..."

But no matter how old you are, you can still love fairy tales, heroes, and magic!

Little Amy couldn't find the words to refute it because she was too young, had lost her parents' support, and was doubting herself.

Am I... supposed to grow up by now? Everyone's been urging me to 'grow up,' and I should let go of this 'childishness,' right? Little Amy was filled with doubt.

Little Amy's mother bought her a new book, but this time it wasn't a fairy tale book; it was a book for practicing the piano.

Many people have heard Fischl's mother say, "Spend your time on more meaningful things."

It turns out that at this very moment, Amy's parents are also 'evil dragons'.

Fischl said dejectedly, "...Mom, I...I...I understand."

Character Voice Line - Elhesen: On 'Meaning'

"You ask me what meaning is? Meaning is when you feel that your time has not been wasted. Everyone has their own perspective, so there's no need to judge or ask."

Chapter 447 The Deepest Affection in the Pure Land of the Dark Night

Spend your time on more meaningful things.

Xin Yan had heard this, Jiu Qi Ren had heard it, and Ni Lu had heard it too. Everyone had experienced the feeling that what they loved was being treated as meaningless.

Such words would be widely accepted in the Sumeru Academy, because they are meaningless to the academic clique.

Those old pedants can only reap profits from geniuses who possess 'knowledge'; artists like Nilu are irrelevant to their interests, and they dislike them.

How can you expect to be taken advantage of? Can't you do something meaningful?

Ehrlich could not accept the doctrines of the Church.

Al Heisenberg loved knowledge and reading, but reading was never the whole of life.

How do you evaluate whether something someone does is meaningful? Don't evaluate it, because the meaning belongs to the person doing it.

Don Quixote's actions may seem meaningless and even inexplicable, but what about for himself?

Fischl's parents were heartbroken; they never imagined those words would cause Fischl such deep harm...

It can only be said that adults can no longer see their 'childhood' after they grow up. In their eyes, such fantasies are indeed 'childish', and adults should act like 'grown-up' adults.

Even if you're just pretending, you should at least pretend to be an 'adult'.

However, from an outsider's perspective, things take a different turn: Aren't their children outstanding?

D'Artagnan sighed. So, a child's dreams are the most fragile things; even with the most careful protection, they can still shatter...

A shattered dream is very difficult to piece back together, just like once you wake up from a dream, it's hard to dream that dream again.

D'Artagnan and Rosalind didn't actually fight; they were just exchanging their usual playful banter, which is normal.

Wendy watched very carefully. His story was actually closely related to his childhood. He didn't use that prop to see Fischl. If he had, he probably wouldn't have gotten anything.

Did her childhood shatter? Did her childhood friends disappear?

No, quite the opposite. Fischl created his own 'childhood' and his own dream.

She protected this world all by herself, without needing anyone else. Oz was her childhood friend, born from a fantasy world.

It was because of Oz's birth that Amy was able to transform back into Fischl.

Oz came from the fantasy world to reality, and everyone else also returned from the fantasy world to reality.

I just got back and saw that 'Arnold who longs to be asked for directions'.

He came here specifically to tell everyone about the information regarding 'Volume Three,' which is on the top floor of the Royal Castle.

The reason he was so attentive was, of course, because Mona was there.

Oh, my dearest Mona, you are light, you are electricity, you are the only myth! I love you only!

You are my superstar!

Arnold: "My dear lady, you don't need to do anything for me. Your beauty is the greatest compliment to me. I will now offer you the answer you seek."

"Your face is so captivating, and so full of wisdom."

Indeed, Mona is very beautiful, and the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes, but she doesn't like this licking crow, and she wants to leave after getting the information.

Mona left, and Arnold sighed with sorrow. He was still thinking: how can I win Mona's favor?

[Arnold mutters to himself: "Madam, would you like to have a coffee with me? If you don't like coffee, black tea, milk tea, or hot cocoa are all fine!"]

"It's alright if you don't want to. You can have a drink by yourself; I'll just keep you company from afar. Your happiness will make me happy too!"

Arnold could be considered the most affectionate lover in the 'Pure Land of Night'.

If this is truly a reflection of Fischl's inner thoughts, just how much does she want to be close to Mona?

No wonder Fischl used his own savings to treat Mona to a delicious meal.

However, Arnold is quite adorable like this, and no one dislikes him.

Some readers even quite like him; after all, it's quite cute for a night raven statue to say such things.

Unfortunately, Mona wasn't among his fans. Whether in the story or in reality, Mona wasn't interested in him; she was only curious about what happened next.

This time, as the group searched for the third volume of the story, they encountered the two night ravens guarding the royal castle again.

I don't know why they no longer believe what the travelers and others say, and they refuse to let them pass no matter what.

They even said, 'Her Highness the Princess doesn't know people like you.'

He was so respectful before, but suddenly he seemed like a completely different person.

He can be arrogant at first, then respectful, and then arrogant again. He can jump back and forth like this, which means he has a good back.

People with back problems can't handle the back strain of constantly switching between arrogantly leaning back and respectfully leaning forward.

The night raven in the story is in a state of 'arrogance and backwards' at this moment, and speaks sarcastically.

Before Nightcrow could finish speaking, Fischl arrived: "Who did you just call a nobody?"

Fischl appeared like a dragon king coming to the rescue, making a powerful entrance and shooing away the two guards.

She really values ​​the group of five and plans to come back and be with them for life.

But she's just a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), how can she possibly shoulder the burden of 'others' (herself)'s lives? It's difficult, isn't it?

Little Amy didn't really want to face this illusion, but she was worried about her friends, so she searched for a long time and finally found them.

Although the problem of the night crows blocking the road was resolved, some astute readers still felt that something was amiss.

Why are these two night crows suddenly acting like they don't recognize people? They even called the travelers and their companions insignificant people—the contrast is too great! Who gave them the courage?

In the book, Fischl tells everyone that her reluctance to face the illusions is not due to the 'shame of having her diary read,' but because there are other troubles involved.

Nobody cared; everyone was only thinking about themselves and figuring out how the story would end.

The third volume still features Xiehuang Fortress, but this time the illusion is both magnificent and fragile. The sky above Xiehuang Fortress looks as if it has cracks, as if it is about to shatter.

Fischl: "Ha... magnificent yet fragile, immense yet cowardly... I marvel at it, yet I also feel nauseous!"

The lady meant: It's so big, it makes me dizzy from 3D.

The group moved forward and discovered a model of a castle, which Fischl had accidentally knocked over and broken when he was a child due to excessive sadness.

This is like Amy's shattered childhood dream, and now everyone is trying to piece it back together.

Her 'castle' shattered, and the sky in the space where everyone is now also looks like it's shattered, making it seem as if everyone is truly inside her 'castle'.

It seems that this dream also fulfilled Fischl's wish, allowing her 'small paradise' to be revealed.

Is it just a beautiful dream?

Character Voice Lines - Venti: About Fischl

"Her 'small paradise' is her freedom; isn't she amazing?"

Chapter 448 Black Stockings and White Stockings

[Narrator: "Speaking amidst a torrential downpour of dragon's blood, she declared: 'Set my people free, unbound by ancient laws.'"]

Now the readers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They finally understand what they missed earlier – it turns out it was a password they already knew!

[The narration continues: "Our magnificent kingdom is a small and forbidden paradise."]

[“Her subjects bowed before her, and she said, ‘Celebrate for me, the princess; put on a play in the wilderness. Bow before me, offer me your pure dreams in exchange for the glory of eternal night.’”]

If that's how the story goes, then it's a good ending: the dragon was defeated, and a paradise was established.

However, the story continues, and it seems the ending is not so simple.

The characters in the book continued on their journey and encountered the night raven named Leon again.

How are you?

How old are you?

He's back again for a re-release, trapped and waiting for rescue once more. It's always him, why is it always him?

If nothing unexpected happens, he must be Bennett from the Pure Land of Night, right?

Although each time was dangerous, he still loved his 'job'.

For the night ravens, finding their role is their destiny.

Leon tells everyone that the book, "The Chant of the Holy Kingdom," is actually a book of prophecy, not a biography.

In other words, the story inside either hasn't happened yet or hasn't ended.

Readers were astonished: we were actually reading a book of prophecy within a book of prophecy?!

Mona was shocked. Was it really a prophecy? Are prophets this complicated these days? Not only do they have to be able to predict the future, but they also have to be able to write books?

Mona fell silent, recalling how Fischl had described her novel as a "lump of garbage."

Could it be that Lin Qiu didn't actually trick me? Was he actually trying to teach me how to write a book? Was he really so kind?

However, this book of prophecy cannot actually be said to have been written by Fischl; it is more likely written by Oz.

When the Pure Land of Dark Night was shrouded in gloom and faced a major crisis, the Princess of Judgment seemed to have lost her motivation and took no action.

Mona understood that this was probably around the time of the second volume, when Fischl began to have the idea of ​​giving up 'Nightfall' because of his parents' demands.

However, things took a turn for the better when Oz suddenly appeared in the Dark Realm, and it was he who brought the book.

This is probably when Fischl obtained the Eye of God, and Oz was born.

The prophecy brought by Oz said that the ravens would overcome the gloom, and the ravens sincerely believed it.

[Leon: "So I stepped forward, to play the warrior. I was willing to overcome all difficulties, to cross mountains of knives and seas of fire... to offer her my true heart."]

So, just like in the book, they put on a play for the princess!

The crows believed that, in this way, one day the princess would defeat the dragon, dispel the gloom, and deliver her speech amidst a downpour of dragon blood, declaring victory!

Although Leon is unlucky and clumsy, always getting into crises, he still relentlessly explores the future because he has this unwavering determination in his heart.

This actually made some readers who were initially annoyed with him stop being annoyed; the kid is actually quite handsome...
