Chapter 101: The Legend of Light and Shadow
"Girl, have you ever felt like this? The world we are in is just one of the thousands of timelines. In different timelines, we live completely different lives?"
After a long silence, King Arthur deeply raised a question of direct hitting the soul.
Hearing this, Gu Tiantian felt cold, and shivered for a while, and his goose bumps all over his body.
"Wake up, you're over a thousand years old."
At King Arthur's age, it was a bit too terrifying to suddenly return to the second grade level at this moment. This kind of topic is philosophical at first glance, but in fact it is a slap in the forehead. She has heard it many times in the occasional conversation between boys in her class.
Gu Tiantian felt that the topic was a bit wrong. If this continues, King Arthur might have to walk out of the storage room, stand down the teaching building, and look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"I'm serious."
The scene that Gu Tiantian thought of successfully made King Arthur get goosebumps. He only felt that the young people nowadays had a variety of ideas. Old antiques like him were getting closer and closer to the thoughts of contemporary young people. "In the depths of my mind, some fragments that have never happened will appear from time to time, both like dreams, but also extremely real."
"What segment?"
In order to prevent King Arthur from embarking on a path of no return from now on, Gu Tiantian could only temporarily act as a psychological counselor, although she was a high school student and showed a strange atmosphere everywhere for her grandfather who was over 1,000 years old.
“For example, on another timeline, we failed to achieve the final victory of that war.”
The biggest difference between history and fairy tales is that not everyone can get a perfect ending.
For example, during the long war, Merlin developed feelings for a semi-demonic woman. He disobeyed the ban, rescued her from the cell himself, and escorted her out of the military camp, and there was no news since then.
After losing his right-hand man, the Expeditionary Force soon fell into a deadlock. After his last defeat, he led the remaining troops back to his hometown in a despair, but they were greeted by a completely strange kingdom. The Knight of the Round Table, whom he once trusted the most, usurped his throne under the bewitchment of the demon. Although he killed the usurper in the civil war, at the same time, he also saw the scene of the entire kingdom falling apart under the control of the demon.
With exhausted strength, he sank the sword into the bottom of the lake in disappointment.
At this point, after the glory, the legend of King Arthur came to an end in desolation and sigh.
The intertwined dreams outlined another historical trajectory for him again and again, both false and extremely real.
In contrast, Merlin got a magic book before the final battle and worked with them to seal all the ancient demons into another world. This ending was like an ending that someone specially rewritten for them.
This is also the reason why he wanted to meet Merlin before. Only he knew the origin of the magic script and the meaning of the intertwined dream fragments.
Merlin was once his good mentor and friend. Whenever he was confused, he would quietly listen to the other person's views.
But this time, before they found Merlin, he was completely dead.
"Girl, I have a request."
"you say."
This time, Gu Tiantian became much more cautious. She began to carefully consider the possibility of fragments of King Arthur's memory. After all, this was no longer the world that could be measured by common sense in the past.
"I want to hold a funeral for Merlin, and this is something you need your help."
"Okay, I'll contact Garland later."

On the other hand, when Gu Yun returned home, a passionate figure came up.
"Oh, Lao Gu, I heard you are going to investigate the devil's movements. How is the situation going well?"
Dong Ning was dressed very casually today. His white shirt and sweatpants made him look several years younger. He was holding a bottle of beer in his left hand. When Gu Yun was a few doors, he was watching the video of football matches on Shen Yue’s sofa. There were two boxes of beer next to the coffee table. On the table were snacks and snacks bought from the supermarket. Next to the snacks were two boxes of unopened playing cards, which seemed to be prepared.
As he said that, he handed the pickled pepper chicken feet in his hand to Gu Yun, "Try this, it tastes really good, it's much better than the staff meals in the division."
This style is a lively and a middle-aged person who realizes economic freedom and retirement life.
"It's okay...why are you here?"
"Isn't this a man who came back and came to greet you?"
Dong Ning said happily that the threat of Siren was lifted, and the foundation would not have any more worries in a short period of time. "We plan to make our own barbecue and hot pot in the evening. The wine has been in place, and the remaining ingredients are Anling has already gone out to buy."
Since withdrawing from City X, he has never felt so comfortable today.
Not only because the crisis was resolved, but also because the X City branch finally had someone who could restrict President Shi, the wind direction of X City was no longer the same. The entire branch was united. Under the leadership of Chen Jiang, everyone was a practical person. I don’t know how high the atmosphere was than the intrigue headquarters.
"When did she leave?"
"It's about ten minutes ago."
"Okay, you're waiting first, I'll pick her up."
Gu Yun thought for a while. Since Dong Ning mentioned the dinner, it was at least a specification of more than four or five people. With Anling's thin legs, it would be difficult for him to take so many ingredients by himself.
"Ouch, it's so nice for young people."
Seeing this, Dong Ning seemed to be pointing something. He pretended to look around, lowered his voice, and asked, "Where is the beautiful female detective I met on the train last time?"
"Maryan? I don't know, she should be dealing with the witch association now."
"I knew your kid had a relationship with Marianne."
Dong Ning immediately showed a "very sure" expression. He heard some inside information about the conflict in City A. At that time, Gu Yun did not leave any face for President Shi for Marian's deputy. The general of the god clan said loudly and made a little rain. Before the war started, he boasted about Haikou, but it was settled not long after.
"Um."
Gu Yun did not deny this and said seriously, "The plan to negotiate with several other spokespersons next needs to be asked her to help."
Marian is very efficient in work and is definitely an excellent comrade and work partner.
"Don't you have any idea?"
Dong Ning narrowed his eyes and asked unwillingly - Gu Yun's reaction was a little different from what he imagined. Not only did he dodge the eyes at all, but he expressed his views on Marian very calmly. With his years of experience, most of the time, Gu Yun was so calm that he hadn't happened between the two.
Although Marianne is a natural disaster, she is also a charming beauty. After getting along with her closely, few men should not be moved.
"some."
Gu Yun's tone was as serious as ever, "When I finish what I'm doing, I have to ask her if she is interested in getting rid of the spirit school as a teacher."
With Marianne's extensive experience, students should enjoy her courses very much.
"That's it?"
Dong Ning widened his eyes.
"What about that?"
