When Lorraine Hill opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in a room in a tall tower.

    Dim light on the table, the window is already late at night, quiet.

    There was no one else in the room, just herself.

    After waiting for a while, nothing happened, Lorraine Hill turned his attention to the desk in front of him.

    A thick book with a copper shell is quietly placed there. Its edges and corners are worn and shiny. It seems that it has been used for a long time.

    She opened the book and began to read it slowly.

    Most of them are complicated formulas, calculation process, some design sketches, inspiration, etc. until the last part, there are some diary like records.

    ————

    Suddenly feel a kind of fatigue, even if it is me, there are also tired and powerless.

    Ozzie''s domestic affairs, big and small, have never been cut off, more than I imagined.

    It''s time to decentralize, as Edwina said, everything has to be balanced.

    But these are just a little troublesome things. What makes me tired is the despair in the endless search.

    ......

    When I was very young, I met Trina Sha for a short time, the butterfly witch with the same time name.

    I do not know why, it is a short, ordinary, less than half a day to meet, but the scene of that day has always been in my mind.

    I was taken by sister Selene and met her. At that time, she was also carrying a little girl, heidis.

    "Are you Dorothy?" Those eyes looked at me and didn''t treat me as a child who didn''t understand anything.

    ...

    "Want to pursue knowledge and truth? But that''s not necessarily the way to happiness. " At that time, the butterfly witch led me and Hades to walk in the flowers among the trees.

    "The more you touch, the more you know, the more holes and ugliness you''ll find."

    "So as to become more and more suspicious of past opinions and opinions, and finally remain skeptical of everything, so as to refuse and do not believe in any good things. Because that''s a departure from interest and reason. "

    "But ah, even so, after seeing so many misfortunes and ugliness, I still miss and appreciate the little irrational warmth."

    "At least they make me feel at ease."

    .....

    This is all the words I heard when I was with the butterfly witch for a short time.

    Just a few words, I did not care, because the exploration of knowledge is so wonderful, strength is so happy, I can do anything I want to do.

    I think so until the last few years.

    However, it was only recently that I gradually came into contact with my own ceiling and limit, and realized my weakness and insignificance.

    Although the country of Oz is becoming stronger and stronger day by day, I can no longer grasp every aspect when the number of people reaches tens of millions. It''s hard to get out of control.

    And in the exploration of the galaxy universe, there are also many adverse news.

    Ivar galaxy is located at the end of the spiral arm of the Milky way. There are few star systems around it, and they are very far apart. If we want to open up more suitable stars in the future, we have to go to the center of the spiral arm.

    However, the situation on the other side of the rotating arm... (Lorraine hill looks at here, Dorothy seems to pause for a long time and fall to several deep origins.)

    The ancient people are really great and crazy.

    How many stellar systems have they colonized and built, so that the huge number of corpses form a wall of sighs that blocks everything. Those illusions wandering in the void, like immortal ghosts, linger forever and chase the living wisdom.

    Maybe this planet is the only paradise and home. It''s a happy and sad word.

    Now that I know all this, I also begin to hesitate. Is it to continue to maintain the illusory happiness for thousands of years, or to tell everyone the cruel truth that we are just small animals living in cages.

    Truth is not necessarily good, it can even bring more harm, and it is not good for life. It''s like telling a young mother that your child is bound to die. It''s inevitable. She should be very sad and unhappy.

    But now, I can''t go back.

    Now that the road has been established, countless people and friends have tied up the train and rushed to the inevitable future

    ——————

    Lorraine Hill looked at the following scribbled and messy record, which was Dorothy''s constant reflection and self argument.

    In the later period of Oz, Dorothy''s thoughts split.

    Some still insist on fighting against the endless mirage, even if it will lead to the destruction of everything.

    The other part thinks that it is important to maintain the peace and happiness of the moment. There are so many things in the starry sky that people may not need them.

    For this reason, she also asked Titus to make a similar illusion for herself. They often argued with each other and told each other in academic seminars, so as to convey both views and let the domestic mages choose by themselves.

    Such behavior, of course, led to the division of the domestic mages. Finally, after the collapse of Oz, the two sides also came to the opposite situation.

    Under the pressure of green threats and ambitious goals, the rurnas pay more attention to efficiency and data, and gradually go to the extreme of pursuing power. This is almost a historical necessity.

    When the copper book was finished, Lorraine Hill''s eyes darkened, and the scenery around him changed and appeared in another room.

    Now she was in front of the mirror, looking at the girl in the same black skirt and stockings.

    Suddenly, the girl with black hair in the mirror smiles.

    "Are you the one who reads my diary in the future?" It was as if Dorothy was standing on the other side of the mirror talking to her.

    "Who could it be? Suqin, tidys, Edwina, Agatha, and I are going to fight the night

    "But if you can get this diary, that means I''m not here."

    "In fact, there is a lot of nonsense in the front of the diary, which has nothing to do with the truth."

    "You are not very careful, but also guess what clues, ha ha."

    "In fact, although these deeds have nothing to do with the truth, they are important experiences of my personal growth. If I don''t tell you, how can I understand how great the owner of this diary is? "

    "Well, now let''s get to the point. What kind of world do we live in

    "There is no doubt that this is a world with brilliant civilization. They live in an era about 50000-60000 years from now. This group of past existence created many races in the world, and today''s humans, elves, orcs, can be said to be its branches. "

    "It sounds unbelievable, but it is true that the unimaginable ancient civilization, like a God, transformed the world and created new life."

    "But this kind of civilization has not continued. They seem to be extinct, and they also seem to have left this star, so we are left behind."

    "The extinction of such a powerful civilization must be some kind of powerful disaster."

    "That''s right. It''s the chaos disaster familiar to us on the mainland."

    "The source is the ancient wisdom of life, they were infected with the same virus, died in all over the disaster. And the souls of the dead are broken and polluted, and become new chaotic phantoms. "

    "If it''s just so good, the corpses and ghosts will slowly decay and dissipate."

    "But in fact, they are not. They seem to be held by something, and they are not completely dead. That is to say, there are still some instincts and unconsciousness."

    "It''s hard for common sense to understand. For example, if a fish is cut into three sections, it should be dead. But the soul is not like this. The broken soul is still the soul. Under the influence of a special power or power, these existence still retain weak activity, which means that even if they become fragments, they will slowly grow and copy. "

    "That''s what''s terrible about it."

    "The population and quantity of ancient civilization are incomparable to that of the Ivar world, and its people are innumerable. Even if there is only one percent left, it is hundreds and thousands of times of ours."

    "The strength of life at that time was not something that today''s fragile human beings can contend with."

    "As a result, my final idea slowly went bankrupt. Even if we fly out of this world and go to other parts of the galaxy, we will have to face endless disasters. "

    "The existence of intelligent creatures, like the lights in the dark, attracts these phantoms to approach constantly."

    "The more powerful and active its existence is, the more illusions it will attract."

    "According to my observation, maybe it''s because there are more and more extraordinary people on this planet, more and more powerful, and chaotic phantoms are gradually attracted, slowly approaching in the galaxy, as short as hundreds of years, as long as thousands of years. One day they will arrive at this last paradise. "

    "In addition, the chaotic eddies on the earth and the ocean are the gate of time and space for ancient people to other planets."

    "The planets that can be directly connected to the capital by ancient people must be important and prosperous. Maybe there is a living environment for life there."

    "If we can''t support it one day, we will have to fight against it, open one of the doors, open up a new home, and transfer life to another planet."

    "So that we can continue to maintain the peace of the Millennium until the next time the army of phantoms comes across the galaxy."

    .....

    "Sacrifice is inevitable, even for us witches."

    "In addition, the orcs of the barbarian age may be right. We, the witch, are just the fragments of the gods, just like the flame in the night, attracting the pursuit of those chaotic phantoms."

    "To kill the witch can keep the darkness to the greatest extent and delay the disaster."

    "It''s a sad and cruel fact. It''s clear that the gods are the most brilliant crystallization of ancient people, but now they are the source of all disasters."

    .....

    "Finally." Dorothy in the mirror blinked her next eye and seemed to relax a lot.

    "Now my mission and mission are over. And you, who know the truth of all this, how will you deal with and solve it? "

    "Just like me, regardless of everything, try to use the weak power to break the situation, or tell the truth to everyone, let everyone bear the cruel reality with you, and then consider the final choice."

    "Besides, I have to remind you that if you tell the truth, I think the witch will be the victim of everyone''s shouting and beating, just like the orcs did in the past."

    Dorothy in the mirror closed her eyes slightly, breathed deeply, and then spat out a few words.

    "Hard work, my successor."

    As the voice fell, the world in front of Lorraine Hill darkened rapidly. At last, he only saw the fuzzy face in the mirror and a drop of tears on his face.

    Everything is going away, everything is disappearing. When lorenthal comes back to herself, she has stood in the small underground room again.

    There was a slight sound of fragmentation, and the diary in her hand turned into tiny particles in the sound of disintegration, and then dissipated in the air without any trace.

    This seems to be Dorothy''s way of staying, to prevent the endless spread of things recorded in it.

    Looking at the hands that gradually empty, Lorraine hill has a kind of unreal feeling, as if everything just like a dream. But it was a real moment in history.

    The stormy red Empire, the fleet across the sea, the phoenix flying in the East, the famous mage''s Kingdom, the legendary time and space witch, and the truth of the coming disaster.

    Standing quietly in the same place for a long time, Lorraine hill slowly calmed down his heart.

    "Dorothy, Ho..." she recited the girl''s name slowly and recalled her wonderful and legendary life.

    One of the five phoenixes in the East, the consul of mercury Dynasty, the pioneer of magic sequence, the great Witch of Oz, the leader of the frontier of the times, and the prophet of the truth of the crisis.

    No wonder she is so confident and proud.

    Lorraine Hill swung her head slightly and walked slowly out of the room as she came to the last door.

    Although there was stone and soil behind the door, she now knew how to open it.

    As if in memory Dorothy often used some action, hand on the doorknob, and then recite.

    "Open the door, the appointed one has arrived."

    There was a light in the gap of the door, and then it opened to reveal the downward passage.

    ————————

    Somewhere thousands of meters underground, a woman in a long white dress looked up in surprise and looked at her head.

    "What''s the matter, sister?" Beside her, there was a woman in a black skirt. Their clothes corresponded to each other, just like twins.

    "Nothing. It seems that someone opened the door I left behind."

    "Well, who''s late?" The woman in the black dress asked askew.

    "No, the last ones we invited are all here. No one is absent."

    "That is to say, some unknown outsider knows the door''s secret language."

    "Strange, who would know? Even when she was in Oz, only Dorothy knew, and she promised not to tell anyone." So said the woman in the black dress.

    "Forget it, don''t think about it. No matter which sage or Witch comes, we can''t be stopped. And we''re going to open the door to a new world, where death and innovation come to this world, where Dorothy''s sister is no longer here. " The woman in the white skirt stood up.

    "Let''s start with us." One side of the black skirt woman also answered.

    When they walked out of the room, the underground square outside was full of people. There was a tall magic statue and an elite mage wearing frost flame. They all stood still and waited. At the end of the underground space, there was a huge ring standing up, with a diameter of nearly 100 stories.

    A track runs from the ground, and then all the way up to the center of the ring. At the end of the track, the train full of frost and elite is ready.

    About seven extraordinary series 9 are standing quietly in the square, waiting for the last moment.
