And according to the memory fragment, "he" himself mentioned in the past, his name when he was a mortal was the same as the baron.
That means, he was also called Alex before.
After "he" disappeared, Mother Nail has been looking for "him" for many years.
It never occurred to her that she would one day use the former name of Alex to look for him. But when the name came out of Vannessen's mouth inadvertently, her heart, which had been silent for many years, suddenly thumped.
Although she knew that it was very likely that the Alex Vannessen mentioned was just a coincidence, and the name just happened to be the same as him.
But this is the first time mother-in-law has heard the name Alex in so many years.
Maybe it's feelings, maybe it's excitement, or it's a kind of feeling in the dark.
After thinking about it again and again, Mother Nail decided to come and see the protagonist in Vannessen's mouth: Alex.
Even if Granny Nail knew that this was just a drama refined by Angel, even if the drama was most likely fabricated and the protagonist's name was fictitious, she still didn't want to let go of any clues.
What's more, the name really touched her mood and memories. Maybe it was also a harbinger of a wizard, guiding her subconsciously to come here.
…
When the strange and long terrifying sound was getting farther and farther away from her, Granny Nail only felt as if she had entered a long, narrow and secluded passage. Pushed into the dark and unknown Little Garden by a pair of invisible hands.
This is a sign of entering a phantom.
With the ability of the nail mother-in-law, you can easily break free. But she didn't do this, but sank herself into an unknown ocean of fantasy along with the dark tide swaying in the air.
When the tip of the nose was slightly cool and the wind whistled in her ears, Granny Nail opened her eyes with anticipation.
It was a night without stars and moon.
Nail-in-law's perspective is high in the sky, overlooking a lonely town shrouded in the gloomy night.
At a glance, she collected the general distribution of this small town. As a wizard with rich experience, she also subconsciously evaluated the environment, town buildings and possible corresponding locations.
Because it was too dark, the moonlight added a layer of forest white to the town, which deformed the original appearance of the town. And the mother-in-law can't use energy to change the visibility, so it is difficult to judge the specific location for a while.
However, in terms of the distribution and style of buildings, it is a typical human town, but it still looks a bit primitive. There are neither railways nor reinforced buildings.
When Granny Nail wanted to continue to observe the situation, the screen suddenly changed.
From a bird's-eye perspective, she entered a bystander's perspective. But now she is not in the sky, but in an old chapel.
Although the church is small, it is brightly lit. A group of believers clasped their fists and faced a somewhat broken stone statue, reciting prayers full of religious flavor.
Granny Nail slowly walked down the central aisle of the church, observing the surroundings as she walked.
She remembered that Vannessen said that only when you come near the core characters of the current scene and activate the plot will you enter the next scene.
And the core figure of this church, she remembered very clearly, was a priest with an indifferent character.
Also the protagonist of this special drama, Alex.
When Granny Nail walked to the center of the aisle, she suddenly heard a voice: "Everything starts with the teachings of the divine canon. Your way of thinking and logical proof also need to be based on the teachings of God the Father, do you understand?"
In the church where the whispers were recited, the voice was very abrupt and immediately attracted its attention.
She turned to look.
But on the side of the church, an old priest was talking to a young man in a low voice.
When her eyes were focused on them, the perspective of the picture began to narrow very naturally, and Granny Nail understood that she had found the core character of the scene.
Granny Nail looked at the two with expectant eyes, to be precise, at the young man. She knew that this teenager should be the Alex Vannessen spoke of.
When she saw the boy's first glance, her heart trembled slightly.
The young man has white hair, and under the oil lamp of the wall candle, the strands of his hair reflect light and have a dazzling silver texture.
And "he" also has white hair, pure like the first snow.
Although the lengths were different, white hair of the same color and texture appeared before her eyes. Her heart began to beat faster. Could it be that this boy is really related to "him"
When the perspective got closer and closer, and finally completely focused on the old and young, Granny Nail frowned instead.
Because the appearance of the young man has nothing to do with the "him" in his memory.
"Sure enough, the expectations have failed again." Granny Nail sighed softly. Although she didn't hold out much hope, the feeling of being lifted up by expectations and pushed to the ground by reality once again made the She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The mother-in-law has been disappointed many times over the years, and quickly adjusted her mood. Anyway, come here, just watch an emerging drama.
The story behind it unfolds slowly.
The serial murder case was laid out in front of her with extremely shocking visual expression.
Immediately afterwards, the characters of all parties appeared slowly, and while each character had his own role, he was also pushing the plot forward. Among them, the most eye-catching is naturally the character who is shrouded in brilliance and calls himself a time traveler. He has become the protagonist's living body. Originally a good case-solving story, because of his appearance, it has moved towards a strange development.
The cage that was solved later, as well as the slowly uncovering the truth, Father Burren Lang, and the nun hidden in the deepest part were all discovered by the time traveler in the dark.
However, Granny Nail didn't care about the plot of the story. First, Vannessen said the outline of the plot, which also explained the hasty blank of the ending. Second, all her attention was once again attracted by the protagonist Alex. live.
She had already put it down and stopped thinking too much. However, when the protagonist began to communicate with the time traveler, her doubts rose again.
In this play, everyone else's accent is very weird. Nail mother-in-law has been in the Southern Region for so many years and has never heard a similar accent.
But the accent of the protagonist Alex, she has a strange sense of familiarity.
The treatment of some of the onomatopoeia and the final sound is very biased towards the intonation of the Thirteenth Indian Continent of the Shisang Dynasty.
The reason Granny Nail paid attention to Alex's accent was because... If she remembered correctly, "he" was also from the Thirteenth Indian Continent of the Shisang Dynasty.
Although the accent of the protagonist Alex is also incorporated into the intonation of some other places, among the several accents that occupy the main body, there must be Thirteenth Indian.
This makes the mother-in-law a little suspicious: the names are similar, the hair color is the same, and even the tone is similar.
"Really, is it just a coincidence?"
Granny Nail didn't dare to give birth to expectations immediately, but there was a seed of doubt sprouting in her heart.
After the fantasy was over, most of the people in the class were still immersed in the previously shocking fantasy.
Although the ending was a little too fast, the story was overall intact, and what they appreciated more was the alchemy fantasy itself, and the way this very special emerging art was represented.
Even though some people have tried to use illusion to construct stories before, this is the first time that Angel has used the natural switching of pictures to represent the advancement of the timeline and the deepening of the story.
While everyone was amazed, Granny Nail's eyes were in a trance.
"What is the source of this story? That protagonist..." Granny Nail looked at Angel beside him: "Does he have a prototype?"
Angel was a little surprised that his mother-in-law would ask this question. He refined the shadow of the cage originally to see if anyone knew where the cage was, so as to determine the ability of the gate of fantasy.
But so far, apart from Sanders' confirmation that Alex's accent is skewed towards the Shisan dynasty, he has received no other information.
Angel has already made up his mind, and when he goes back, he will ask Dodolo to make a prediction. If it doesn't work, he will go to the Thirteenth Indian Continent of the Shisang Dynasty to try his luck.
But now Granny Nail's solemn expression seems to be explaining a fact.
Does she seem to know something
Angel didn't answer immediately, but said to mother-in-law Nail: "I'll end the class first, and I'll talk to mother-in-law later."
After all, Angel came to the center of the ring classroom, briefly said a few words of summary, and then ended the class.
Half an hour later, in Mongshi Magic Materials Street, inside the nail alchemy room.
In the empty hall on the second floor, only Angel and Granny Nail sat opposite each other.
Granny Nail was silent all the way, and seemed to be immersed in her own world. Even when they sat down, they never spoke.
After a long time, the fragrance of time drifting in the air has changed from the fragrance of noon to the fragrance of night, and the mother-in-law of nails finally recovered.
Granny Nail looked at Angel and spoke slowly.
She asked the same thing as she said in class before: "What is the source of the story in Shadow of the Cage? The protagonist Alex, does he have a prototype?"
Angel: "Why does my mother-in-law ask that?"
Granny Nail pondered for a few seconds and said, "Because, I have something to confirm."
This sentence, before entering the illusion of the cage, Granny Nail once said. Angel asked curiously: "Could it be that after experiencing the illusion, mother-in-law still can't confirm what you want to know?"
Granny Nail nodded: "Yes, I always think it's a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences, so I have the idea of 'maybe it's true'..." extravagant thoughts.
Angel didn't know what Granny Nail was referring to, but he didn't ask questions immediately, but answered her previous question in one sentence.
"What is the source of the story in Shadow of the Cage, it's hard for me to answer. But what I can say is that although the fantasy is made up by me, the story is real."
