"What are you standing there for? Where's the report? The young lady is still waiting."
"Ah! I'm sorry, miss!"
Jill woke up as if from a dream and quickly handed all the collected information to Xia Yi.
"Miss, according to your request, we have found many locals in Seaside City and asked them if they had any dreams last night. To be honest, when we learned the details, we were also extremely shocked. This situation... can be said to be unprecedented."
Xia Yi looked through the information and her expression changed.
Sure enough, something was wrong.
Last night, almost 90% of the residents had dreams, and the contents of their dreams were almost exactly the same.
Wrapped in sea water, it starts from the sea surface and keeps falling into the deep sea.
The sea water is not cold, it is very warm.
As for the singing, most people heard the singing, but a few people did not.
However, the people of Seaside City, whenever they dreamed, all had the same dream.
The younger brother next to him couldn't help but said, "Boss, this is not right! Why are we having the same dream? It can't be that we are all telepathic!"
"I don't know either. This phenomenon has never happened before." Jill shook his head.
Xia Yi sorted out her thoughts and asked, "Let's call this dream the 'Dream of the Sea'! Jill, I have a few questions for you."
"Ask, young lady."
"After having the dream of the sea, did you have any negative emotions in your heart, such as fear, disgust, resistance, etc...."
The Penguin Gang members looked at each other, and no one gave a positive answer.
“Although my mental state wasn’t very good the next day, I didn’t feel anything unusual. Instead, I felt very comfortable,” Jill said.
There was another younger brother who made even more exaggerated statements, which confused everyone.
“It feels like I’m back in my mother’s body.”
"..." "..."
After a brief silence, everyone burst into laughter, and the laughter almost blew the ceiling off.
The person who spoke felt embarrassed and just laughed awkwardly.
But although it was funny, no one denied his analogy.
Even for the Goldians, perhaps the illusory beauty in the dream of the sea is more desirable than the terrible reality.
"This is an ominous sign." Xia Yi muttered.
……
Last night, the people of Seaside City all experienced a sea dream. The results of this survey were shocking, but nothing changed.
Xia Yi stood by the sea, looking at the ocean, still troubled.
At this time, Sera came over and opened the umbrella.
"Your Highness, do you plan to stay in this city?"
"...Yeah. We are originally here to investigate the Kuroshio. If the Sea Dream is related to the Kuroshio, wouldn't we be missing out on a great opportunity if we leave?" Xia Yi replied.
"Your Highness's judgment is very reasonable."
"Sera, after reading the report provided by Jill, do you have any new ideas?"
"Yes, but it's useless. After all, we are not Goldians, and we know very little about the ocean." Sera paused, "If I must say, I think the Sea Dream is not a normal natural phenomenon. Perhaps, as you said, it is some kind of omen, perhaps related to the black tide."
For a moment, Xia Yi thought of a superior species.
Incubus.
A nightmare demon can control other people's dreams, and Xia Yi had seen a nightmare demon last time.
but……
The nightmare demon controls dreams in order to absorb essence. The dreams it creates must be stimulating enough to cause drastic fluctuations in the sleeper's emotions.
A peaceful dream like the Sea Dream is of little benefit to the nightmare demon, as it is not convenient for absorbing its essence.
Most likely it can be ruled out.
Xia Yi's eyes were fixed on the horizon, and a new speculation suddenly came to her mind...
"Hey, you guys are here too?"
A voice interrupted Xia Yi's thoughts. When she turned around, she saw that it was the human girl she met on the coast last night.
There were many people around her wearing similar uniforms, and they all looked like students of Laurel Academy.
The students of Laurel College that Jill mentioned before are these people, right?
Xia Yi counted them and found that there were seven people in total, plus the human girl, there were eight people in total.
At this time, Hill's eyes were on Xia Yi, hesitant to speak, and he was very concerned.
But she finally endured it.
The other party is a dangerous person, especially this maid... I can't let my students get into danger, and I should try to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
"let's go."
Without giving his students a chance to ask questions, Hill took his students away and went to the other side of the coast to conduct research on the project.
"Your Highness, there's something wrong with that woman," Sera warned, "especially the way she looks at you."
"I also feel a little strange..."
Xia Yi looked at the girl's back.
It should have been a very serious atmosphere, but at this moment, Sera suddenly said something strange, leaving Xia Yi at a loss.
"Your Highness, I think she fell in love with you at first sight."
14 For Pineapple (Additional Update)
Originally, Xia Yi was still thinking about some serious things.
For example, the students of Laurel College traveled thousands of miles to Golde. They must have had some purpose, otherwise they would not have expended so much effort.
But her personal maid suddenly said:
"Your Highness, I think she may have fallen in love with you at first sight."
"What are you talking about, Sera!!"
Xia Yi almost didn't react.
"Be serious!"
"I'm serious, Princess," Sera said, "Don't forget, I told you something before, that is, to help you prepare for the banquet for the upper species."
"What is it?"
Xia Yi herself had almost forgotten what Sera said at that time.
"I said, you have an outstanding charm now, whether it is to the opposite sex or the same sex. As a human being, it is normal that I can't resist your charm."
"Eh?!"
Xia Yi had never thought about this kind of thing.
For example, if you have a cute appearance, you will be particularly likable.
On the contrary, there is no self-awareness!
After all, as a sword master of the human race, he has always relied on strength to speak, and doesn't pay attention to anything other than strength!
"Do you still remember? That human girl was stunned when she saw you for the first time, and she couldn't take her eyes off you. It was the same when you met her today. She seemed to have a lot to say to you, but she was too embarrassed to face you. It must be because she was nervous around strangers and felt ashamed. She even ran away from here, but before she left, her eyes were still lingering about you."
Sera conducted an analysis.
How strange!
I didn't feel anything before, but after listening to Sera's analysis, I felt something was increasingly wrong.
How does she know so much?
"Is that so?"
Xia Yi herself has never been in a relationship, so she doesn't understand this feeling at all.
If you have to say it...
It's sword love!
He only likes swordsmanship, and women will affect the speed at which he can draw his sword.
"Your Highness, are you also..."
"Stop!"
Xia Yi raised her hand and said expressionlessly.
"I'd rather discuss the Black Tide."
"Well, okay, Princess," Sera smiled, "Actually, I was just talking nonsense. I don't understand what humans are thinking."
"Ah? I took it seriously!"
"Don't worry about it. I see you're too nervous and I want to help you relax."
Xia Yi looked helpless.
But I have to say, after talking about this topic, I did feel a lot more relaxed.
……
Xia Yi returned to the hotel.
The owner of the hotel moved a lounge chair and basked in the sun with a dull look in his eyes.
There are almost no tourists coming to Seaside City now. Xia Yi and Sera are the only two guests of this hotel. After seeing this, the owner is too lazy to even open the hotel.
