"Your Excellency Scroll, have you changed your clothes?" Ling asked outside the locker room, "If you need my help, you're welcome."
"No, no, I... I'll be fine soon." Scroll's slightly nervous voice came from behind the partition.
Roland couldn't help raising his eyebrows. This was the first time he saw Scroll showing such uncertain emotions. In the past, she was always calm and calm, no matter what she did. This also made him look forward to the appearance of Scroll after putting on new clothes.
"Whoa-"
The partition was pulled open, and Scroll carefully walked out of the dressing room.
"is this OK?"
Roland suddenly felt his eyes lit up.
I saw that the book was wearing a slim-fitting dark blue turtleneck sweater, which perfectly showed the outline of the upper body. Outside is a black and red half-length robe, the opening of the robe starts from the lower part of the shoulders and extends to the calf, which has the charm of an evening dress. The chest is open, and is gathered around the waist in an inverted V shape. The towering chest and the flat abdomen are half hidden and half visible. At first glance, there is an indescribable beauty.
The overall top is mainly decorated with dark tones, and there is no sense of frivolity at all, but it looks extremely solemn. In addition to the pair of black-framed glasses on the book's face, and the black braids that reach her waist, it adds a bit of mature and intellectual beauty to her.
"It's so beautiful," Phyllis exclaimed, "even among witches, it's enough to be praised."
"I just said I made the right choice!" Ling's tone was quite smug.
"But... will it be too revealing?"
Scroll subconsciously covered his hand to his chest.
"Why, isn't this wrapped tightly?" Falti smiled, "You can accept the dress for the banquet, not to mention this improved winter dress."
"And in the dream world, everyone wears it like this, am I right, Your Majesty?" Ling coaxed.
Roland chuckled and shook his head. Although there are underwear and a long sweater underneath, this kind of jacket with slits is indeed a bit uncomfortable compared to the long robes she often wears. "The key is not how other people wear it, but what Scroll's own opinion is." He paused and looked at Scroll, "Do you think you like this outfit?"
Scroll looked at herself in the glass mirror—it was something she had never seen before. Even though the two worlds were very different, beauty was something that could cross countless gaps and resonate in people's hearts. She couldn't help but admit that she liked her current outfit.
"Yes... Your Majesty," she replied softly.
"That's it." Roland called the shopping guide over, "I want all this set."
"Sir, you are really discerning, these are the latest models this winter, and they are a perfect match for this lady!" The shopping guide took out the calculator and pressed for a while, "A total of 24,000 yuan, please come here. Payment!"
"Uh—" Roland's breathing stopped for a moment, which was almost one-third of the price of a van. However, Haikou has already boasted, and now it is too late to retreat. He tilted his head to look at Ling, "How did you choose your clothes?"
"Choose the one with the larger number on the label!" Ling stuck out his tongue, "The classmates in the school said that the only thing in the world that won't deceive people is the price."
Roland couldn't help holding his forehead.
"Your Majesty, are these clothes... expensive?" Scroll leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you just forget about it..."
"I'm the creator of the dream world. How could I be stumped by money? It's just trivial." He pretended to be indifferent and bought the clothes. "Next, have dinner on the second floor of the mall!"
"As ordered!"
The three witches of God's Punishment cheered in unison.
"Your Majesty... what about the test?"
"Don't worry," Roland waved his hand. "The flow of time here is faster, so the actual delay won't be long. Besides, it's your first time in the dreamland. Of course, you have to enjoy it first, and talk about what you want to eat later!"
Anyway, the big head is already out, and it won't cost much to eat it later, so let's just make everyone happy, he thought to himself.
Scroll looked at the excited four people, and shook his head helplessly and amusedly, "I understand."
…
When they walked out of the bustling shopping mall, everyone was full of food.
Under Roland's leadership, the group scoured almost all the restaurants, and ordered one when they saw a good one—from the steaming crab buns to the ice cream mixed with nuts, each of which was very specific to the book. Words are delicious. Although some food is also available in Neverwinter, compared with the food here, it is almost as disparate as His Majesty's trolley and steam truck.
Even if she tried her best to control herself, she just kept a good diet.
"Such a world... how nice..." Scroll murmured while walking on the wide street, looking into the deep night sky. Even though the stars have been obscured, the city is still brightly lit. Street lamps illuminated the streets brightly, and snowflakes fluttered under the soft lights, like elves that adorn the night. "The city is bright and beautiful, with smiles on everyone's faces, and it looks like a dream... Can we build reality like this one day?"
"Of course, as long as we have enough knowledge." Roland said as he walked with his hands behind his back, "This is also the biggest difference between the two sides - Border Town can be transformed into Neverwinter City through knowledge, then Neverwinter City will one day become Dream world. And the key to start this process is right in front of you right now."
"My... in front of me?" Shu Scroll was stunned.
"That's right." Roland raised the corner of his mouth. The reason for bringing Books here is not just for shopping. After crossing the road, a group of people stood in front of a beautiful building. I saw a golden plaque hanging at the gate with the five characters "City Library" written on it.
Entering the museum, Scroll couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
The spacious hall is about the size of Neverwinter Central Square, and the top of it leads directly to the roof more than ten meters high, like a transparent patio. The escalators that run around automatically take people up and down, and the five-story corridors are stacked around the hall. Countless bookshelves are lined up, and each bookshelf is full of books.
Obviously, the entire Graycastle… even the books of the four major kingdoms combined cannot compare to the collection of books here.
Scroll involuntarily put her hand on her chest, she obviously understood why His Majesty brought her here.
"This will be a place you will definitely come to often in the future." Roland smiled, "Bring the key to that world for me."
She took a deep breath, bowed her head to Roland, and said solemnly, "The scroll will live up to your entrustment."
This is bound to be a time-consuming task, and it is difficult to see any results in a short period of time.
But change has always started from such small places.
Knowledge is like nourishment.
As long as it is sprinkled, it can catalyze people's growth.
He has been promoting the progress of this matter before, and sending Ling and others into the school is also for this purpose, and the promotion of the scroll will undoubtedly speed up this process.
The so-called ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, Roland believes that after a hundred years, people in the real world will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.
It doesn't matter if it is a person without demons, or a witch with a witch.
At that time, they will use their own hands to create a new "dream".
