Game of the World Tree - Chapter 951

951. Chapter 943 Theresa’s Dream (VII)
The galloping train passed through the wheat fields and crossed the forest.
Theresa leaned against the window, staring at the speeding scenery.
She saw the endless green wheat fields, and the tall oak guards helped the farmers water and fertilize.
She saw the silver-like river, where the wizards and elves controlled the armored puppet giants and built a majestic dam.
She saw the hot air balloon moving slowly in the sky, the children laughing and chasing on the ground, and in the cabin of the hot air balloon, the elf Chosen One waving to the children on the ground could be vaguely seen…
She saw too much, too much, scenes that she had never seen or even imagined ten years ago.
The train traveled for six hours.
On the way, Theresa ordered a lunch on the train. It was not too expensive, only two silver coins.
The taste was not bad. She specially chose the elf fruit set meal and especially liked the elf flower tea in it. However, Feng told her that the authentic flower tea and elf food in the Elf Forest were much better than those on the train.
This made Theresa feel itchy, and she had a little impulse to go to the Elf Forest for adventure.
However, she knew that although it was open to races other than elves, the prerequisite for entering was that one must be a believer in life.
Inexplicably, she felt a little regretful.
At about three o’clock in the afternoon, the magic train entered the city of Manya.
After entering the city of Manya, the train began to slow down slowly, and the music played by the magic phonograph suddenly changed, becoming softer. At the same time, a beautiful female voice began to introduce the various customs and customs of the city of Manya, welcoming the passengers.
Theresa watched all this in amazement, and then cast her eyes out of the window again.
The first thing that caught Theresa’s eyes was the familiar outer city wall, but the eagle flag belonging to the empire above the wall was no longer there, and it was replaced by the two-color flag of the Republic.
The city’s buildings were much cleaner and tidier than Theresa remembered, and many of them looked brand new, and should have been renovated.
Looking down from the viaduct of the train, you can see the busy streets, horse-drawn carriages coming and going, and some magic rail coaches similar to magic trains.
The city is very lively, full of vigor and vitality, even on the train, Theresa can feel it.
Suddenly, a towering castle came into Theresa’s sight. She was moved and looked over, and then her eyes were a little complicated.
It was the Doloria Castle Prison.
However, unlike the prison in Theresa’s memory, the prison that flashed by was hung with decorative flags, and it seemed that the figures of civilians watching the view could be seen on the tower.
At that moment, Theresa realized that this castle prison might become a scenic spot like Orsburg.
After entering Mannia, the train slowly drove for nearly ten minutes before finally stopping.
What surprised Theresa was that the station was located in the former Holy Square, but it was not surprising to think about it, because this was the center of the entire Mannia city.
The former Noble Parliament Building, the Eternal Temple, and the Imperial Palace are all located here.
“We’ve arrived at Mania City, let’s get off the train.”
Feng said with a smile.
After hearing her words, Theresa hesitated.
When the train really stopped and her hometown was in front of her, the girl began to retreat.
But it was not a complete retreat, but a mixture of complex emotions.
Nervous, uneasy, but expectant and novel.
Standing here, she couldn’t help but think of the terrible day ten years ago.
She would think of the anger of the people, and the angry expressions when the people mentioned her name…
She was afraid.
She was afraid of being recognized.
She didn’t know what she would encounter after being recognized…
At the same time, she was curious.
She was curious about what Mania looked like now.
“Don’t be afraid, no one knows you, and even if there is, it doesn’t matter, everything is over.”
Feng’s gentle voice came, and Theresa felt a soft hand on her head, rubbing it gently.
At that moment, she seemed to feel a warm force flowing into her body, and the tension and uneasiness in her heart slowly dissipated.
It seemed to be the elf magic that calmed people’s hearts.
“Don’t be in a daze, let’s go.”
Feng said.
“Thank you… Ms. Feng.”
Theresa looked at the elf priest who was traveling with her with gratitude, and then took a deep breath, suppressed the worries and fears in her heart, and followed the footsteps of Feng to get off the train.
Leaving the magnificent magic station, Theresa came to the square.
The square seemed to be the same square, but it seemed to be more lively than ten years ago.
Because here, there are more civilians and tourists who rarely appeared in the past.
The inner city of Mania has been completely opened to the people.
Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar square, Theresa’s vision was a little dazed.
At this moment, she finally felt a little bit of the feeling that things have changed.
Her eyes fell on the statues on the square. The former statue of the Lord of Eternity was gone, replaced by the beautiful and holy statue of the goddess, and this sacred square was also renamed the Square of Life.
The Eternal Cathedral on the right side of the square also hung the flag of the Church of Life and was rebuilt into the Temple of Life, while the former center of the empire, the Noble Parliament Building, Gray Castle on the left, erected the two-color flag of the Republic.
Theresa had good eyesight and quickly saw the name carved in front of the new sculpture of the revolutionaries in front of Gray Castle – the House of Representatives.
Everything seemed to be the same, but everything seemed to have changed.
The tram slowly passed in front of her, and the girl retracted
her sight and looked forward again. At this moment, her eyes became a little complicated.
Right in front of her was the former palace of the Manya Empire.
And that was where she had lived for nearly fourteen years, her real home.
The palace that was submerged in the fire ten years ago seemed to have been renovated and was no different from the palace in the girl’s memory.
However, the fluttering imperial flag was gone.
Surprisingly, fully armed guards could still be seen in front of the gate of the palace. Their armor seemed to be more gorgeous than what Theresa remembered, but the girl could not sense any extraordinary power from them.
They seemed to be ordinary people.
At the gate of the palace, people of all kinds also gathered. Most of them were dressed in simple clothes and were undoubtedly civilians.
They went in and out, lined up, and looked at everything curiously and excitedly.
A guide with a small flag and a magic loudspeaker walked in front of the team, introducing something enthusiastically. Although it was too far away to hear clearly, it seemed to be popularizing the history of the palace. At
this moment, Theresa knew that her former home might have become a tourist attraction…
“Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Noticing the girl’s sight, Feng asked with a smile.
Theresa hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.
Summoning up her courage, the girl walked towards the palace.
As she approached the crowd, her mood became more and more uneasy.
However, what she was worried about did not happen.
People were all doing their own things. No one noticed her, and no one cared about her. At most, when they saw Feng passing by her, they would stand up straight and salute respectfully.
However, even in the face of the wind, the people here were not as surprised as the people in Ors City. It was obvious that they should often see the Elf Chosen on weekdays, and they were probably used to it.
Think about it, after all, Mania City is the largest city in the human world, and naturally there are more Elf Chosen.
Theresa was thinking about it, and came to the gate of the palace nervously.
She took a deep breath and was about to step in, but was stopped by the guard.
Theresa’s heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but was slightly stunned by the other party’s next words:
“My beautiful lady, please wait a moment, you haven’t paid the ticket yet.”
“Ticket?”
Theresa was confused.
The guard smiled, looked Theresa up and down, and then explained respectfully:
“Beautiful Mage Miss, to enter the Imperial Palace Museum for a visit, you must buy a ticket, 20 silver coins per person, children can pay half price, here, buy it over there.”
The guard pointed to the ticket office.
Theresa: …
So… I want to go back to my former home now, do I need to pay? !
Her eyes widened.
However, just when the girl with a wonderful expression was in a messy mood, two tickets were handed over:
“Me and her, two people.”
It was Feng.
Seeing Feng’s look, the guards were instantly full of smiles, with a face full of respect and flattery:
“It’s the Elf Priest! Elf Priest, you don’t need to pay the ticket, all priests can visit the palace for free!”
“It’s okay, I’ve bought it anyway.”
Feng smiled.
After taking the ticket, the guard quickly made way and asked enthusiastically:
“Priest, do you need a guide? I can find the best guide for you! I was a former court noble and I am very familiar with the palace. I can definitely give you two a great tour experience!”
Court noble!
Theresa’s heart trembled and she was a little nervous.
She was afraid of being recognized.
“No, no.”
Feng shook his head and smiled:
“We already have the best guide.”
Seeing Feng reject the other party, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief.
“Well, since you don’t need it, forget it, I wish you a good time!”
The guard smiled.
…
After ten years, Theresa entered the palace again.
The tall palace and palace walls seemed to be no different from ten years ago, but the strict guards were gone, replaced by tourists coming and going, and gardeners trimming the garden.
Looking at all this familiar yet unfamiliar, the scene of the bloody battle ten years ago flashed before her eyes from time to time. The girl stroked the gray-white boulders of the palace with a complicated look.
She sighed and continued to move forward. Unknowingly, she came to the palace that once belonged to her.
Not far away, a middle-aged guide who looked like a ruined nobleman with tattered clothes but vaguely recognizable as fine materials was holding a magic loudspeaker and enthusiastically introducing something to curious tourists.
Theresa looked over and always felt that the other person looked familiar. The middle-
aged man had a weathered face, gray temples, and tanned skin.
He was full of smiles and chattering, and from time to time he would make tourists laugh.
Theresa couldn’t help it after all, and curiously approached and finally recognized the other person’s identity.
This guide was actually a former court viscount, and his name seemed to be something like… Felix.
At the same time, she finally heard what the other party was saying.
He was actually talking about the secrets of the court in the past!
In the middle, it even involved Maria II, and Theresa’s father and mother.
The guide seemed to be quite familiar with the old court. He could easily mention the names of various nobles, and he could talk about many things in a very coherent and vivid way.
For example, the affair between Maria II and Bishop Winster, the underground love affair between Theresa’s mother and the guards… and so on. All kinds of secrets, pornographic, exciting and explosive.
The tourists around listened with great interest and kept cheering.
But Theresa was shaking with anger.
There was no other reason, because the other party was completely talking nonsense!
Those so-called secrets were completely fictitious and lies!
Listening to the flattering guide’s disgusting mouth spitting out the completely non-existent e*otic history related to her parents, Theresa felt sick and extremely angry.
Finally, anger overwhelmed nervousness. She stepped forward and trembled as she rebuked:
“Shut up! These are all lies! All lies!”
As soon as Theresa interrupted, everyone instantly focused their attention on her. Some tourists said with some displeasure:
“How do you know it’s fake?”
“That’s right, the nobles have many ugly things…”
Theresa was stunned, and even more angry. She glared at the stunned middle-aged guide and angrily rebuked:
“Felix, you hypocritical bastard! Don’t slander my…former imperial family!”
The middle-aged guide was stunned. He stared at Theresa, staring at her for a moment, and suddenly trembled, with an excited face:
“Your Majesty? Are you…are you Your Majesty Theresa?!”
“Your Majesty?”
The tourists around were stunned.
Their eyes wandered between Theresa and the middle-aged noble, and their expressions were stunned.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are still alive! You are still alive!”
Felix crossed the crowd, knelt down in front of Theresa with a plop, and said with snot and tears.
Seeing him like this, the tourists suddenly became agitated, and their eyes were focused on Theresa.
“Your Majesty Theresa?”
“Is he crazy?”
“No, no… I heard that he was a minor noble in the court…”
“Hiss… Could it really be the little queen? Theresa II?”
“But isn’t the little queen dead?”
“God knows… Isn’t there a rumor that the little queen faked her death and escaped?”
“Hiss…Looking at it this way, she does look like the portrait in the palace!”
“…”
Being stared at by scrutinizing eyes and listening to the discussions of the tourists, Theresa’s heart tightened and she became nervous in an instant. She
was recognized…
She was recognized!
In an instant, all kinds of scenes flashed through the girl’s mind, and she seemed to have returned to that terrifying night again.
She seemed to see angry people besieging the palace, she seemed to see angry people shouting her name…
She seemed to see that the angry faces gradually overlapped with the tourists in front of her.
She seemed to see… the tourists who recognized her identity pushed her to the execution ground again.
Unspeakable fear struck her heart, Theresa could not control her body and could not help but turn around and run away.
