Although the afternoon sun was bright, it couldn’t add even a trace of warmth to this icy snowfield.
A cold wind gently blew up snowflakes from the ground and, through the unclosed tent flap, poured into the tent.
“…” Enjoying the cold brought by the passing wind, Griseo raised her hand, dipped her paintbrush into the colors on the palette, and added a warm tone to the otherwise somber painting in front of her.
As her final stroke fell, the painting, created with Tallulah’s colors, was officially complete.
Then Griseo also withdrew from her painting state and began to examine the artwork in front of her.
In the painting, a red young dragon, entangled by a illusory black snake, lay fallen in the snow.
The young dragon’s eyes revealed numbness, despair, and an undeniable hatred.
The pristine white snow beside the young dragon was stained with large patches of crimson, and at the same time, an orange Reunion Movement armband, stained with blood, drifted down from the sky… All of this fell into the black snake’s joyful vertical pupils, to be quietly admired and savored by it.
“…” For some reason, Griseo felt that the painting she had made this time might not be so ordinary… but it hadn’t reached the point where strange things were materialized.
This made her hesitate, wondering whether to give this painting to Tallulah… After a moment of internal debate, Griseo decided to give it to her anyway, reasoning that with her watching, nothing too major should go wrong.
With that thought, she picked up a canvas and temporarily covered the painting.
Subsequently, Griseo seemed to recall something and summoned the system panel, carefully looking through it.
Although the system interface looked very much like a game, it didn’t have as many armors as in a game.
Except for a few special characters, all other characters only needed to be unlocked once, and when unlocked, they were at the peak of their strength.
Then, through more than a day of exploration, Griseo discovered that the characters she transformed into had no framework restrictions in terms of power usage, and their strength could continuously grow.
After all, just this morning, she had even conjured up Uncle Tyrant, who had never appeared in the game’s storyline… However… currently, Griseo could only stare longingly at the characters, as she didn’t know how to unlock any other characters besides Herrscher of Sentience.
Moreover, if she had unlocked a Valkyrie related to mental aspects right now, she wouldn’t need to be so cautious; she would have just cut down the black snake first.
With that thought, Griseo’s gaze swept helplessly over Aponia, then slowly continued to scroll back… But when the face of the next character appeared in her big eyes.
An audio effect automatically played in Little Girl’s mind… [Huh?
Hey!
You!
What!
Me!
Hey!
Hmph hmph!] [Are you out of your mind!
No, are both of you out of your minds!… ] “So scary…” In an instant, Griseo recalled the fear of being dominated by the great Herrscher of Sentience before she transmigrated… After a long while, when the audio effect in her mind finally faded, Griseo looked at Herrscher of Sentience’s interface again, and subconsciously began to think about who on this continent would have a good compatibility with Senti.
Then, in the next instant, the face of a large American… Sarkaz girl, appeared in Little Girl’s mind.
“…” At this, Griseo fell completely silent.
But she had to admit that W was indeed the closest person to her right now, and seemed to have some compatibility with Senti.
However, getting close to W… just thinking about it made Griseo’s petite body tremble involuntarily.
What kind of hellish difficulty was this… she would definitely be scolded to death.
One must know that W was not like Senti, who, even after searching all of Fu Hua’s memories, couldn’t find a few curse words.
W’s vocabulary was definitely rich enough… But, Senti was really strong, and could also deal with the black snake… Ugh!
“I’m back!” And just as Griseo was agonizing back and forth, her CPU almost burning out, Alina, who had gone out for something, returned.
“What’s wrong?
Why does Little Griseo look so conflicted?” Alina, entering the tent, asked curiously, looking at Griseo, whose big eyes were full of dilemma.
“No… nothing, I was just thinking about some things.
Also… the painting is finished.” Looking at the curious person in front of her, Griseo first gently shook her little head, then changed the subject.
She didn’t want Alina to know that she had just been struggling with whether or not to approach W… Such a thing would be truly impossible to explain if she said it out loud.
“That was fast, Little Griseo is amazing.” Although she knew that the Little one in front of her was changing the subject, Alina was very cooperative.
She gently stroked Griseo’s little head and praised her without reservation.
In Little Deer’s opinion, it was normal for children to have secrets they didn’t want to tell others.
So, if Griseo didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t press her for answers.
“However… it’s best to show it to Tallulah when she’s free tonight, because I don’t know what might happen… Alina, you shouldn’t look at this painting.” Saying that, Griseo tugged at the canvas again, covering the already hidden painting even more securely.
“Okay~ I understand.” Upon hearing this, Alina first nodded, then said in a gentle tone: “Alright, Little Griseo has been in the tent all afternoon; now let’s go out for a walk.
Didn’t I see you like Yelena a lot?
She’s already back from outside now.” “Mm.” After agreeing, Griseo put away the freshly painted artwork and all her painting tools, then followed Alina outside.
Griseo felt that she really should go out and relax; otherwise, staying cooped up in one place would indeed lead to overthinking… As expected, she should interact more with Yelena, build a good relationship, and then protect her!
And while she’s at it, unlock another character.
Speaking of which, Griseo hadn’t even thought about how to use the Herrscher of Sentience identity yet… But no matter what, having an extra identity was an extra trump card, especially since Herrscher of Sentience’s strength was not weak… The sky over the snowfield quickly darkened, and it was soon dinner time.
Everyone gathered around the campfire again.
Tonight, Griseo, Yelena, and the Yetis sat around one campfire, while Patriot, having matters to discuss with Tallulah and her group, sat with them.
Tonight’s dinner was still not particularly good, but just like before, Griseo didn’t mind such things.
However, some other things did make her a bit concerned… P.S.: Oh no, it’s another late night today.
I actually started writing this afternoon, but I wrote two thousand words and wasn’t satisfied, so I deleted it all.
And I actually feel this chapter has a bit of a sudden shift in style; I wonder what you all think?
