Chapter Thirty-Seven Girls' Anxiety
Time is a strange thing. When you have nothing and feel bored, it will pass very slowly. But once there is something urgent and I hope it will pass slowly, the better, it will playfully speed up its pace, like a girl that stirs your mood. You can only watch its passing back, but you are unable to reach out and keep it.
At the top of the snow mountain above Mina's cave in the Dragon Mountains, the girls in the adventure team felt this way. Mina has been away for more than ten hours. According to her, she will definitely come back for one day and night at most, but the girls are still very anxious and hope that she will come back as soon as possible, because the girls can clearly find that Vivian's physical condition is getting worse and worse with time. Not only the magic channel, but also the breathing is getting worse, and even her vision, hearing, and taste are declining. No one can be sure that even if Mina's surgery is successful after she comes back, what Vivian will become before finding a full-body repair therapy device? If this strong and proud mage girl really falls into a situation where she loses all her feelings and movement ability, even if it is only temporary, it will be a spiritual greatest torture for her.
However, no matter how eager the girls were, they could not change the pace of time. Time still passed by minute by minute. As the sun gradually rose, crossed the sky of Yara world, and gradually set. Vivian lay on a stone recliner that had just been carved out at the edge of the entrance of the cave, quietly watching the sunset disappearing little by little in the sky. The mage girl's eyes were calm with a little reluctance and nostalgia. Even she herself did not know whether she would have the chance to see this scene again at the same time tomorrow. Or, even she herself did not know whether the scene in front of her would be the last sunset she saw in this life.
The cold wind blew in from outside the cave and blew on the face of the mage girl. Vivian was wrapped in thick clothes and blankets, and she would not be affected by the cold wind. But she insisted on exposing her face outside and letting the cold wind make her face red. In her heart, she liked this feeling. The coldness of her face allowed her to know that she was still alive. This was the only part where she could feel the external environment. Now, the girl felt her face slightly numb. I don’t know if it was because of the cold or the erosion of diseases, but these were no longer important. No matter what the reason was, she could only wait patiently and wait for the judgment of fate.
Lina was with Vivian, sitting on the ground with her knees in her arms, and a thin storybook spread out on her knees. The priest girl did not dare to look up at Vivian's face. She just buried her eyes in the book and chanted the story in the book for her. The cold wind blew into the cave, raising the girl's long silver hair. Only when the silver hair was raised to cover her vision, Lina would quickly wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes, and then pretended that nothing had happened to continue chanting.
Inside the cave, three other girls were busy. According to Panis's request, Freya was transforming her mobile fortress, and the hemispherical fortress walls were repeatedly thickened. All observation windows were closed, leaving only a door and a breathable hole on the top of the spherical top. Be sure to create a stable environment without wind interference. In the center of the fortress, a bed was formed by metal parts, and the bottom of the bed was deeply embedded in the cave, requiring no shaking. Catherine and Eva were also inside the fortress, and Mina left.
In the past, Bass was forced to cooperate with the girls to work, so the poor Red Dragon had to carry Catherine and spent an hour to travel to the nearest city on the snowfield. He purchased hundreds of light-attribute crystals of more than one thousand tels at any cost. Now the two are climbing up and down in the fortress, installing these crystals in a fixed position. When needed, directly activate these crystals, and emit light for several hours, illuminating the interior of the fortress without dead corners, providing sufficient conditions for subsequent work.
As for Panis, he was not here, nor did he say what he was doing, but Catherine could keenly feel the energy fluctuations symbolizing the energy of his inherent spiritual realm, and was always moving in the forest at the foot of the mountain. The energy bursting from time to time shows that he would fight with some monsters every once in a while. Although he didn't know why he did this, Catherine was not ready to ask. She completely believed that Panis was concerned about Vivian and would never do something meaningless at this time. Since he was doing this, there must be his own necessary reasons and there was no need to ask anything more.
The Dragon Mountains were calm, not as some artists imagined in their works, with dragons flying everywhere. Apart from Bass and Mina, the girls had never seen any other dragons appear. The lazy dragons did not know what was happening outside, and they all slept comfortably in their nests. No one would care about the appearance of a few humans in their territory, and they would not care about the possibility that a human being, a creature with a short lifespan, might die.
"Huh, it's done." Catherine installed the last crystal stone, looked at Eva, who was also empty-handed, waved to Freya, and the three of them left the metal fortress together. When they walked to the entrance of the cave, they saw Lina and Vivian squeezing together on the stone recliner, hugging each other, and making a low laugh.
"What are you so happy?" Catherine adjusted her emotions secretly, smiled on her face, and said to the girls who were embracing each other: "What are you talking about?"
"We are talking about what happened when we met just now." Vivian's voice didn't sound abnormal, which made Catherine's tense heart slightly relieve. Vivian said happily: "I remember when you came to see me, you told me that you picked up a silver-haired idiot home. As soon as you entered the house, you hid in the cabinet. When you caught her out for dinner, you almost got a bite with your hand. You thought you accidentally picked up a puppy home."
"You are the puppy." Lina habitually reached out to pinch Vivian's face, but her strength was as gentle as she was stroking a fragile canvas: "Where do you think you are going? When you first came to live, you would lie in bed and sleep every day when you have time. It would be difficult to wake you up. Who dares to mess with you? If you touch you one by one, and then you lie down, who knows whether you are sleeping or..."
"You two guys." Catherine shook her head and said with a smile: "As soon as she has time, she will quarrel, and she will get tired of being together after the quarrel. Do you think this is a good relationship or not? Well, it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, it's just two fools."
"You guys are very strange." Ava kept standing aside, her unchanging expression could not tell her thoughts, and her mechanized voice could not hear the ups and downs of her emotions: "I can't understand your current state. Everyone obviously wanted to cry, but she had a strong smile on her face. She looked very fake and fake. I don't know what you were thinking, and she didn't look like you at all."
"I can't say if it's so annoying, although I think so too." Freya patted Eva's head, turned to face the wall, leaving her thick back for everyone, wiped her face a few times, hiding her expression, and said calmly: "It's not time to despair yet, don't you think it's too early to make such a gesture now?"
"That's it." Vivian said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not going to die so early. You promised me that there are too many things that have not been achieved yet. I won't let you go like this. Humph, wait for me to get entangled in the future."
"You said it nicely." Lina's smile froze on her face, and she suddenly hugged the mage girl's neck, buried her face in her blue hair and cried in a low voice: "That guy Panis said it, this is just a solution. The success rate is so low that he dared not tell us, how could we not worry?"
Catherine raised her head and blinked her eyes hard, walked behind the two girls, putting her shoulders on the left and right, and whispered: "Don't think so much, now there is no point in talking about success rates. Let's do our best together."
"So, Lina, you and your elder sister are both fools, especially Lina." Vivian pulled Lina's hair hard and poked the paternal girl's fair cheek and said, "You forgot yourself. We were in Bingjie Town before, what did you say after the treatment for Betty's child?"
"Ice Town?" Lina was full of doubts and didn't even bother to save her hair from Vivian: "What did I say?"
"You've said it yourself." Vivian said angrily: "Let you prepare the worst mentally in advance, and then give you an unexpected surprise after the treatment is over. This is the most appropriate method. If you are full of hope in advance, if you fail, the psychological blow brought by that time is the most terrifying. You just used this method to deal with others a few days ago, but when it's your turn, you don't remember it at all. I can't believe that you are not a fool."
"Well, I did say that." Lina scratched her head: "Maybe it is really that way."
"No matter whether this is the case or not, there is only one way to go." Vivian said naturally: "Then instead of worrying about depression, it is better to think about the good side with hope, what do you think, sister."
"I was educated by you this time." Catherine was silent for a long time, sighed and pressed Vivian's head, "That's right, just believe Panis. He has never disappointed us, I believe it's the same this time."
"So you wait for me to get better with expectations." Vivian said with a thumbs up: "In the future, the six of us will take risks together."
