Mercury Dream

Chapter 77: The fairy tale of Zhan Yan… (2)

.

Yayi's message: Saya, I was free to create during the art class today. I originally wanted to make some interesting origami and cut some three-dimensional shapes, but it seemed that I had done it a bit too much. The two classes have not been completed yet... But I didn't plan to give up and planned to take them home to continue making! Come on!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Cat, big cat!

Compared with other cats around, the body is as big as a bull, and the presence it gives is so huge that it cannot be ignored. It can be said that even if you are mixed in a toy store full of dolls, you can find it at a glance.

...Styling books?

Although she rarely comes into contact with this type of books, it does not mean that Sayya is completely unaware of it. In some aspects, her career has even reached the ranks of cultural publishing. More or less, she knows about this type of books often used in fairy tales or other early childhood education categories.

Therefore, there are many sample books that Sayya has seen in the past, and there are various designs... but when he saw the book that suddenly appeared in front of him, he was still a little stunned.

In addition to being a little old, this book seems to be a little... rough.

It is not because of the long-term placement that the pages and the book cover are damaged, but because the content of this book and the paper sculptures that pop up seem a bit monotonous, and the color is too simple. It is completely different from the colorful and rich content on the market. It is even systematic and combined with the voice function.

Moreover, the most important thing is that it is impossible to find any news about the publisher or author at the end of the page, just as if they were not in the beginning.

Thinking of this, Sayya frowned faintly.

At the same time, the curiosity hidden in the heart gradually began to sprout and take root, and gradually began to spread throughout the heart, and could not be avoided no matter how hard it was.

This book has probably been a while...

Continue to put your attention and gaze back on the book, and the first thing you see is naturally the extremely eye-catching huge cat. At this point, Saya also sat up gently, then held the book with both hands and placed it on his knees, and began to read the content carefully.

Although it is not the first one to start reading, but the introduction from the middle page, there is no need to be too nervous, because the story seems to have just begun.

It's the new Venice... no, is it a story set in the Venice of the past?

New Venice is naturally a city built by inheriting Venice, which was flooded by sea water in the past.

No, not just that, maybe the entire planet of Mercury is like this. Looking at the scenic villages of each other, you can understand more or less that these are the scenery of the earth in the past, but they have disappeared now and come to this new beginning planet.

Thinking of this, Shaye understood a little bit why he could always find a feeling of nostalgia here. Even if he had never seen before, he could feel the deep thoughts and imprint his thoughts on every place in this city to people.

Now, the same is true for the book that appears in front of you.

Although the background is in Venice, which can only be learned from books or video materials, when you look closely, you can find many resonant places, which make people think that it is the current New Venice.

The city where people's thoughts are concentrated.

...Does the cat's king still have conversations with each other that are about to sink?

The story in the picture book is quite simple, and there is nothing too complicated.

When Venice was about to sink, the people living in that city naturally left one after another, but not just humans, but also the cats who have accompanied the city since the city was established... Perhaps they came here at the beginning because of dealing with the plague, but as time passed, the emotions between the two sides became increasingly deeper and deeper, and even the kings of the cats settled in the city.

However, having a beginning means having an end.

Now, it's time to prepare for the end.

However, the cats did not leave immediately, but accompanied this city that had been with them for hundreds of years, and belonged to its last.

The sea water gradually rose and gradually flooded the floor. The cats did not leave, but came to the roof. The huge Cat King, like a bull, stood on the bell tower of Piazza San Marco, overlooking the city that was beginning to be flooded by water.

And at this current pace, I believe that the entire city will never be able to see it again soon.

The cat king looked at it.

The cats watched.

.

――How long has it been, my friend.――

.

It is difficult to tell whether it is an old or young person, and it is difficult to detect whether it is a man or a woman, just the sound that comes to mind.

Just when he heard this sound, the cat's king did not waver at all, but the big eyes moved faintly, and the beard on his lips shook slightly.

I have forgotten it, I can only know that it was a quite long time, but now it seems... all of these are about to end.

.

―――――Indeed, everything is about to end. The laughter and joy, sadness and pain that happen here are all about to disappear, and all return to the calmest origin. Thinking of this, I am still a little lonely.――

.

When the cat king heard Venice's words, he did not pause for too long. He just raised his head and put all the cities in front of him into his eyes. Then he said softly: It's indeed a little lonely. If you can't see you or the various things happening in this city in the future, it would be a pity.

.

――Yes, it’s indeed a pity. It’s also a pity that I’m going to end my time with you. My friend, I believe you are facing a journey like the past, floating around, chasing various wonderful scenery, and coming to new and different places everywhere.――

.

The cat king did not answer, but did not deny it.

It just looked at the city quietly, and the floor was no longer visible at this time, and the cats gradually moved from the roof to the bell tower where His Majesty the King was staying, making the big bell tower full of cats of different colors and types.

And they did not feel any panic about the rising water level below. Each cat lies or stands, just looking calmly at the cities that are gradually flooding the roofs... Soon, except for some particularly towering existences, there was no existence in front of them.

The traces of the city seem to be deeply erased like this.

The cat king's eyes narrowed slightly and turned into a straight line, leaving only a faint light to tell everyone that he did not completely close his eyes.

Water capital, pearls of the Adriatic Sea, Venice of the blue, my friend...

The Cat King's voice was high and long, and it was as if it was in an opera house, chanting the sighing lines.

His right hand gently reached his left chest, his waist slowly bent down, and he gently bowed his face forward.

And the sound was sent out from a distance along the wind, towards the vast dark blue sea in front of you.

Connecting the past and the future...the legend belongs to cats.

Read gently, the words pointed at by your fingers, and this is also the line of the cat king.

After reading the last word, Sayer did not rush to open the next page, but just raised his head a little and forgot to go around him. But just like just now, he couldn't find anything. There was nothing except a little sound in the kitchen, so naturally it was impossible to find what Sayer wanted to find.

I almost forgot that President Alia seemed to go out with her sister in the lamp today. Thinking of the information that Sister Alicia told her not long ago, Saya seemed to feel a pity in her breath, and then she lay on her back on the floor, without any idea of ​​maintaining her image, just completely relaxing her somewhat stiff body. Is the story of a cat? It is really incredible to connect the future and the past cats.

Although I knew that all this was just a fairy tale and did not intend to really believe it or experiment, the sigh with a slight regret still breathed out from my mouth.

He smiled, and at the same time rolled around one and a half times, and he was half lying on the floor, and a pillow appeared under his elbow, which was the pillow that Saya had just pulled off from the nearby sofa.

The left hand supports the cheek, while the right hand is ready to continue turning on the next page.

But just as I was about to turn the page, I heard footsteps from the door, and immediately asked Saya to raise his head and look at the person who came with joy.

Sister Alicia!!

Oh, Xiao Shaye is reading a book.

Well! The book I just found! I'll help get it too!

Speaking of this, Sayya immediately prepared to stand up.

Seeing Saya's movement, Alicia did not speak to stop it, but shook her head gently, then her steps slightly accelerated. It took not long to come to Saya's side, and at the same time, she also handed over the buttery hot cocoa that was emitting hot in her hands.

Oh, I didn't help...

I took the buttery hot cocoa and felt the deep warmth through my palms. But when I raised my head, I was still a little shy. After all, I had spent so long here without knowing it, and I didn't go to the kitchen to help... Thinking of this, my cheeks turned slightly red.

Seeing the child in front of him, Alicia, who had already planned to relax Saya, couldn't help but smile gently. When she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed the story book that was placed on the floor and spread out half of the storybook.

Suddenly, the whole attention was completely attracted.

The delicate face showed a small surprise.

Oh, hey, Xiao Shay actually found this book.

Oh, it's hard to find this book?

Alicia shook her head gently, then laughed softly.

Not that, I just suddenly remembered that I was working on this book with my grandmother and President Aria, so I was a little surprised.

So that's it. This book is Sister Alicia, you guys...

Speaking of this, Saya's voice suddenly got stuck, and then he was surprised and filled with small faces.

Hey! This book was made by you sister Alicia--!?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Saya’s comment: Is it free to create... Woo! I suddenly remembered that in the past art classes, I always made some bad finished products that could make the teacher’s headaches. Either I don’t have artistic talent or I’m too slow to do it… But it’s really interesting. If you can create something from your own hands, you will definitely feel deeply satisfied. So, Yai, come on! Come on!
