Chapter 1080 The Mysterious Advisor
As Velez walked down the stairs, the surrounding light began to change, turning into a warm yellow light.
It looks like a sunrise, but it's not, it's just a cycle of light.
There are no windows here, and no trace of the sky or the outside world can be seen from inside.
When she came to a sealed iron door, she spoke to the communicator on the side:
"It's me."
The Thinking Machine buzzed, then the light turned from red to green, and the heavy door opened.
The room is a circle, and the walls and floors are made of obsidian. But here, there is no sunrise in the lights. There is always darkness here. Hundreds of tiny linear light tubes surround and hang in the black Around the stones, stars in space flashed.
A human figure emerged from the darkness and moved across the room in Velez, shifting in his chair.
Veletz herself also found a simple wooden chair. After sitting down, she put her hands on her slender and elegant thighs.
"It looks like a nice night, Kalima."
"Yes."
The other party replied calmly. In fact, Velez has always been curious about why the other party wants to live in this kind of place. place, but the man never gave her a real explanation.
Her most common answer is usually -
"Only in the shadows do stars always shine so brightly."
Then, the human figure stood up from the chair and walked out of the darkness. She wore the same light and flexible armor as hers, her pale hair was tied up with a row of gold buttons, her body was strong and well-proportioned, her curves were exaggerated, and her blue eyes were sharp and firm.
She smiled at the high nun when she saw her.
“Anna, are you dreaming again?”
“Isn’t it always like this?”
Kalima Seid Olsson, Velez in The most trustworthy person in the order, she is not only a master nun with superb martial arts, but also has a certain talent for touching other people's souls.
More importantly, she is also an expert in dream interpretation and is very good at interpreting dreams.
And there is no doubt about her purity. According to the data, the 26-year-old she comes from an ancient family in Terra and has served the empire since the Great Crusade.
Originally, she was even qualified to compete with Velez for the position of nun, but she voluntarily gave up and told Velez that she saw some kind of unique light in her body and concluded that She must have a huge mission and responsibility.
Kalima Said Olsson not only has outstanding personal strength, but also has an extremely profound background. She even influenced the will of the top leaders of the state church. It was with her support that Velez became the The nun
“Let me see.”
Tina smiled and put her thin, cold hands on Velez's face.
She was silent for a long time, and finally when she put down her arms, she uttered three words——
“——Pai Ming Xing.”
That one In an instant, some force rushed through Velez like a storm, making her feel as if she had lost her balance. The false night sky in the room around her quickly disappeared, and the world began to churn and change.
She suddenly blinked uncontrollably.
When Velez opened his eyes again, he saw a completely different towering corridor.
This corridor was lit by shaking candlelight - hundreds, even thousands of candles. The floor and walls were made of pale stones, spliced together like broken pottery. The sound of a storm echoed in the corridor, bringing a biting wind that slightly blew the candlelight.
“This place…”
Veletz looked at Kalima, who smiled at her.
"Your home."
The nun nodded.
“Yes, home.”
They walked down the corridor together, Kalima whispering beside Velez, observing all the details of the dream.
Usually the shape of a place in dreams will be different and distorted, but not here. Except for those candles, this place is exactly the same as the home in Velez's memory, and even the smell is exactly the same.
The smell of candle smoke, the smell of rain and cold air, and the earthy fragrance of the pine forest.
Every hanging was in its place, every book and parchment in the little hole in the wall was exactly where it should be.
“I have never seen this place.”
“Because I have not dreamed of it since I left, and it has been many years.”
Veletz He found that he was holding a lamp in his hand, and then raised the lamp slightly higher. "Here."
She pointed to the stairs leading up. The bare stone steps were smoothed by generations of footsteps. If I listened more carefully, I could hear the chirping of the birds above.
The two began to walk up the stairs, which were narrow and steep, spiraling upwards.
The chirping of the birds became louder and louder until the door to the top of the tower appeared at the end of the stairs. The floor was covered with feathers and straw, as the sound poured in from the huge windows. The wind is shaking.
Several black swallows curled their claws and perched in their nests, crying toward the storm.
Veletz did not look at them, and neither did Kalima. They were looking at the mountains in the distance and the terrible storm that enveloped them.
Then Velez put his hands on the stones of the window frame, feeling the coldness under his hands, and the mountain wind blowing on his face was still cold, mixed with rain.
“Why did you bring me here?”
The elder nun turned to look at her most trusted advisor.
Kalima nodded towards the distant mountains, Velez took a closer look and saw a lonely figure of a bird coming through the storm.
She shouldn't have seen it, the sky was still dark, but the bird shone like the lamp in her hand.
Its feathers burned brightly in the violent thunderstorms and predawn darkness, scattering some of them with each flutter, leaving a trail of light.
"The dawn will soon follow him."
Weletz looked at the shining birds in the sky and whispered:
"If the dawn never comes, What if darkness always covers the sky?”
Kalima smiled and looked at the young nun patiently.
"The dawn will eventually come, it is destined. After all, if there is night, then day must also appear. You just have to follow your heart."
Veletz shook his head.
“But I am afraid, I am afraid that one day I will live up to my vows”
Kalima stepped forward, put her arm around the nun’s shoulders, and pointed to the rainy sky.
"Follow the silver eagle, Anna."
She pointed to the bird, the raptor.
"The light will follow him and burn away all the shadows."
Veletz did see a dazzling light behind the silver-gray falcon. Light up the whole sky.
The storm is easily driven away by it.
No, it's not just light.
It is a miracle.
The light continued to radiate from the eagle in the center, until that light was the only thing she could see, until she was enveloped in light and heat, and not just her skin, but her soul felt an incredible warmth .
“Follow the eagle.”
Then the eagle and the rainstorm disappeared, and Velez returned to the secret room of the monastery in a dazed moment.
“Then the time has come.”
Kalima grabbed Velez's face so that she could only look at her, her blue eyes bright and firm.
"You have realized that he is in danger while dispelling the Death Star, so don't hesitate. This is your mission."
A tear flowed from Velez's eyes, Kalima He wiped it clean with his thumb, tracing the line of her jaw.
“Remember, we will not break our oath, I will always stand by your side.”
After the other party removed his hand from his face, Velez smiled emptyly .
"Yes."
She has broken many things in her long life, but she has never broken her oath, no matter how much pain she would feel if she kept it.
“We will not break our oath.”
After Velez left, Kalima returned to her chair, as still as a statue——
