Chapter 1097: The Heart of a Child
Ice and snow gems that can turn dreams into reality.
If used correctly, Jeno can allow Lisandro to regain control of the Watcher's dreams, putting them to sleep; It can also be used to create Frost Ice, re-complete seals, and prolong the time it takes for the Watcher to get out of trouble.
In short, making good use of the Ice Gem to delay the end of the day until Orn smelts the molten iron is what Jeno must achieve no matter what.
Jeno picked up the gem and pressed it to his forehead, imagining the magic flowing from the gem into his body, giving him the ability to do what he wanted.
However, I don't know if it's the wrong method or what, and the Ice and Snow Gem doesn't respond to his call.
At this time, Jana, who had been silently watching from the side, saw some clues: "Jeno, you don't have the qualities that the gem needs, and you are not the kind of person it identifies, so no matter how hard you try, don't try to activate it." ”
That made Jeno frown, for he already knew why.
"Ice gems can only be used by Nunu and Willumpu." Jeno said, "Nunu has a childlike heart, and his heart is full of love, a love that resists despair. ”
After learning why he couldn't activate the gem, Jeno let out a long sigh.
The heart of a child or something, he was thrown away as early as when he recognized the reality. Daydreaming, only children do.
"Child's Heart......" doesn't quite understand this new term, but Kai'Sa knows she doesn't have it. Once in the lost Acacia, the monsters there made her realize the cruelty of reality early on, and in order to survive desperately, she had already lost the power of dreaming.
As for Jana, she didn't have a childhood, she was born like this.
"Let's go back to Nunu, that's all we have to say." Kai'Sa suggested. However, Jeno did not directly agree.
"Maybe we can let someone else try." He said.
"Who will try?" Kai'Sa knew very well that none of the three had the ability to activate the gem, and it belonged to Nunu and Willamp...... Suddenly, she stopped speaking, and her eyes were fixed on the little girl who didn't know where it came from.
Don't......
"Zoe, come here, show you something."
Jeno's voice caught Zoe's eye, and she rolled in the air and floated in front of Jeno.
"Have you figured out how to answer my question?"
"No, let's see if you can activate this gem." Jeno held the Ice Gem in his hand, and Zoe arched her right hand into the shape of a magnifying glass, placing it in front of her eyes, observing this rare gem full of magic with twilight-colored pupils.
"Wow, what a beautiful stone, do you want to give it to Zoe?" Zoe jumped to her feet, grabbed the gem and prepared to hide it in her enviable hair.
"I didn't say that." Jeno's face immediately darkened.
"Don't you want to use it to make amends to me?" Zoe's smiling face suddenly turned into an angry face.
"No, I never thought of it that way, I just wanted you to activate its power."
"Hmph, stingy! Don't give a broken stone, I've never met someone as stingy as you! ”
Hearing Zoe say this, Jeno was also stunned, this is a matter of survival in the world, how can he be involved in his own stinginess?
But as long as you think about the kind of people Zoe usually comes into contact with, then it is not surprising that he says this. Those astral beings spoil her so much, and give her whatever she wants, in contrast, Jeno, who is unwilling to give a "broken stone", is naturally extremely stingy.
Angry is angry, but Zoe still assists Jeno because it's Ezreal's request, she thinks to herself.
She held the gem in her hand and blew lightly on it. Something unexpected happened -
As Zoe blew, many dream bubbles suddenly erupted from the gem. The bubbles were filled with bizarre dreams, bouncing into each other and gathering into a cloud over the heads of the four. The ice under his feet glowed with a magical cold light and shot into the bubble cloud, which was immediately refracted into a beautiful rainbow, full of childlike whimsical imagination.
"Haha, that's so much fun!" Zoe let out a happy laugh, she had grabbed a lively rainbow to use as a jump rope, but the thing in her hand was many times more fun than a rainbow.
As Zoe playfully explores the uses of the Ice Gem, Jeno falls silent.
At first, he wanted to try his luck and let Zoe try it, and if he succeeded, he would save a lot of time...... But he didn't expect it to be successful, and he didn't have much hope.
Why did Zoe succeed? Is it because she and Nunu are both mental children?
He seems to understand, but he doesn't.
Yes, although Zoe was taken to the astral realm by Twilight Titan to travel for thousands of years, her mentality is exactly the same as when she left the mortal world, she is only less than a year older, not much older than Nunu.
Lively, curious, optimistic, and imaginative enough.
Is that Zoe kind? Or is it like Nunu who is full of kindness? That's where Jeno puts a question mark.
Many times, Zoe's jokes will go too far, even disrupting the laws of physics and bringing havoc and disaster, but she has no malicious intent. Probably because of this, Zoe was judged to be qualified by the Ice Gem.
Jeno used his talents to enter Lisandro's perspective through the connection on the soul level. When he found that it was still dark, he withdrew and said to Zoe:
"Alright, Zoe. Test the power of the Ice Gem on Lisandro, and I'm going to enter her dreams. ”
"Okay, okay, just let you dream together, right? I'm coming! Zoe finished the sentence as quickly as she could, and then began to cast the spell the way she could think of it.
Jeno always wondered if Zoe had misunderstood something, but then he said what she said was wrong.
The Ice Gem was like a bubbling soap under her rubbing, and these bubbles gathered into a dreamlike cloud that surrounded Jeno and Lisandro.
When Jeno closed his eyes, he realized that Lisandro's dream had begun, and he could follow her gaze to see everything Lisandro could see. This should have been a good thing, but when Jeno realized that his consciousness could not return to his original body, this joy turned to sadness.
He couldn't hear the sounds that his body could hear, he couldn't feel the cold stinging pain when his body touched the ice, and he couldn't control his body's every move.
At this point, he finally understood what Zoe had misunderstood—she had thrown his consciousness into the dream world as well, as a participant, not as a spectator or operator as Jeno had intended.
In other words, Jeno was now really dreaming with Lisandro, rather than peeking into her dreams with his natural abilities.
Worst!
