Chapter 2649 Past Events
After Sisia finished telling the story behind the leather paper, she summoned Doakes' "ticket"-the Holy Light Vine from the darkness.
"As for this staff..." Sisia frowned slightly: "The emotions contained in it are the most complex among the treasures handed over by your teammates."
"The kindness you are determined to repay, the friendship you insist on guarding, the love you can't wait for, the ruthlessness you don't take for granted, the separation that is rare when you say goodbye, and the lovesickness you wait for silently...etc."
Angel was a little confused: "The emotions in this are the stories of how many people?"
"Four, if you count the maker, there are five stories."
Angel: "..."
I originally thought that if it was a story between two people, he would have been able to imagine a bloody drama. I didn't expect it to be a story about five people... Hey, no, a story about five people would be even more bloody, wouldn't it?
Angel thought for a while: "Of these five people, which part of the emotions does Doakes belong to? Doakes is the one who handed over this treasure to you."
If you follow the script that Angel guessed, Doakes should belong to "love and lovesickness". After all, in the end, the cane was kept in his hand, so it is normal to miss lovesickness after seeing things.
But if this is really the script, then Doakes' seemingly indifferent ease before was actually just a performance? She must still be reluctant to give up in her heart, after all...I loved her.
However, before Angel's crazy drama could take shape, Sicia poured cold water on it.
Sisia: "He doesn't account for a big part of these emotions. Is it considered friendship?"
Angel: "Friendship that you insist on protecting?"
Sisia nodded: "Yes."
"Then he used this cane in exchange for tickets, and it seems that the 'Insistence on Guarding' has also disappeared?"
Sisia turned her head and looked at Angel: "Why do you think giving away the cane doesn't count as guarding? Don't be limited by your thinking. Sometimes, giving up is also an option. As for your teammate, he chose Instead of retaining, he now chooses to give up. Perhaps in his view, giving up is also a way of protecting his friends.”
Angel thought for a while, and it seemed that Sicia was right. He has always thought too one-dimensionally and superficially about similar emotional issues. In fact, no matter what kind of emotion it is, it is very complex, just like human emotions, they always fluctuate.
What you think may not be what you think, what you deny may be true.
People are unpredictable, and so are emotions.
"I don't know the specific story of this cane yet, but it should be very entangled." After Xixia finished speaking, she murmured in a low voice: "I actually don't like this kind of treasure with complicated meanings. I'm so immersed in it." Among them, I will also struggle with it, but this kind of treasure is the best way to pass the time. If you look at the whole story from different emotional perspectives, you will have different feelings. "
"Even if I don't like this kind of treasure, I would rather choose this kind of treasure than your two gold coins."
Angel: ...Have the two gold coins he sent out now become Sisia's weights and measures? Compare each one.
Sisia glanced at the cane with complicated eyes for the last time, and then threw it into the mist.
The last treasure flew out of the mist, a stone slab.
It was the same stone slab that held the Black Earl's nose.
Angel didn't care about the treasure itself, but he wanted to know the story of the Black Earl and what he talked about with Sicia?
"This slate is the carrier of the Black Earl's nose clone that you mentioned." Sisia did not hold the slate in her hand, but let it float in mid-air: "The slate carries the Black Earl's nose clone for about sixty years. Years have witnessed some emotional changes in Black Earl’s Nose over the years.”
"However, his emotion is very weak and does not mean much. I can only say that it is barely a treasure."
"If it weren't for the fact that he said he was from the Noah family, I really wouldn't have planned to accept him."
Upon hearing this, Angel knew that the topic was getting to the point, so he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Is there any relationship between the Noah family and the Source Worshipers?"
If you ask Sicia directly why she treats the Noah family so differently, Sicia may not answer. But Angel directly brought Baiyuan and the Noah family to the same level, and the probability of Sicia's explanation was much higher.
As expected, Sisia frowned: "The Noah family is just an insignificant wizard family in Naruo City. How can it be related to us Source Worshipers?"
Angel: "The current Noah family is a giant in the Southern Territory."
Sisia snorted coldly: "So what? In the Southern Territory where legends are unknown, any organization or family would have been called insignificant ten thousand years ago."
Angel touched his chin: "That's true."
"Since the Baiyuan clan is not related to the Noah clan, why does Miss Xicia give preferential treatment to the Black Earl? Could it be... because she takes a fancy to the current power of the Noah clan and wants to pave the way for the Baiyuan clan to rise again?"
Angel knew very well that the following sentence was definitely not the reason for Xixia's preferential treatment, but this did not prevent him from specifically mentioning it. After Xicia and Bobota meet, they will understand the current situation of the Baiyuan people. Apart from Angel, they basically have no connections at all. If Sicia is really like Bobota, she wants to restore the Baiyuan people. Rise up, without the support of more forces, they will still be eaten by the wolves just like the original worshipers.
Xicia didn't react at first and thought Angel was teasing her because the second half of Angel's teasing tone was too strong.
Just when Xixia was about to retort, she suddenly stopped. Thinking carefully, Angel seemed to be teasing, but under the tone of laughter, there was a very realistic problem.
The Baiyuan tribe did not rise just because they had the source fire and the ancestral altar was rekindled.
Rising is a goal and a result. But without the process, how can there be a result?
And can this process of rising really be achieved by Xixia and the Bobota who had not yet met?
Xixia's eyes gradually became solemn, and the more he thought about it, the narrower his thoughts became, and the more he thought about the prospects, the more bleak they became.
At this moment, Angel said, "Suddenly we are speechless. Do you not want to answer this question? Or are you thinking about how to perfunctorily answer me?"
Cisia rolled her eyes at Angel: "I am just thinking about something!"
Angel said with an "I understand" look: "Is this your normal state for ten thousand years? You start to ponder when you think of something, and when you ponder, you don't know when the sky is dark, so time just passes by like this?"
"If that's the case, I don't care. Do you plan to let Bopota wait until he is completely old and dead?"
Cisia: "...Little Pohai, you have a lot of wild ideas, but unfortunately, all of them are wrong. "
Angel said indifferently: "It's wrong. I don't care about right or wrong. I just want to remind you that those things that are out of reach should be remembered in your heart; when that day comes, think about how to face it. After all, the Baiyuan clan is blessed by heaven, and it may be destined to rise again, just like the distant mountains seem unreachable, but when you get close, you find that there is a staircase leading directly to the top of the mountain. "
Hearing this, how could Xixia not understand that Angel completely saw through her thoughts. Or rather, her thoughts were guided by Angel.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
"Do you know that you are very annoying. "Xixia looked at Angel fixedly.
Angel looked innocent: "Did I do anything bad? I even arranged for you to meet with Popota."
Cisia was silent for a moment, and snorted: "I don't want to bother with you. Also, I want to take back what I said before."
Angel: "Oh?"
Cisia: "I said before that nothing is permanent, and nothing is destined. I take back the second half of the sentence now. I hope some things can be destined."
And what this "some things" is, Xixia and Angel both know tacitly.
As Xixia said this, her mood, which was gradually gloomy, dissipated a lot. In terms of merit, Angel should be the first, but Xixia didn't want to admit that she was emotionally ups and downs because of a little brat, so she simply changed the subject.
"Let's get back to the topic. You just asked me why I treated the Black Earl preferentially. There is a reason for this." Xixia pretended to have a long talk.
Angel was also quiet at the right time, as if giving Xixia a lot of face.
Xixia: "Back then... that is, ten thousand years ago, I was sent to Naraku City by the prophet. Because of some reasons that I can't explain in detail, I met a friend."
The so-called "can't explain in detail" actually has two answers: due to the oath or due to the mission sent by the prophet.
Angel couldn't judge which one it was. However, as long as it didn't affect the overall situation, he was too lazy to guess at this time.
"My friend has a very special identity. She has an extremely good background. However, although she seems to be high and mighty, she is actually a bird trapped in a cage. Everything in her life has been arranged long ago."
"She longs for freedom and all life outside the cage."
"My status in Naraku City was very special at that time. Her family would not oppose my friendship with her. On the contrary, they were very happy about our friendship."
When Xixia talked about the past story, her eyes gradually became blurred: "At first we were wary of each other, but then something happened and we became best friends..."
"After becoming close friends, I also learned about her situation. With pity in my heart, I used an excuse to let her family agree to let me take her out of the 'cage' and go out to relax."
"Speaking of it, to the present I don't know whether I was right or wrong to take her out that time. "
Angel didn't want to speak, but Cecilia was still thinking, so he could only speak to praise her: "Why do you say that?"
"Because she met someone outside."
In order to prevent Cecilia from falling into deep thought, Angel spoke again: "So far, the story has never mentioned the Noah family. So, it's the turn of the Noah family, right?"
Cecilia nodded: "Yes, that's a young wizard from the Noah family."
"Will the story behind be another love-hate entanglement?" Although he said so, Angel had basically guessed it at this time. The best friend Cecilia mentioned should be Margaret, the daughter of the warden; and the young wizard from the Noah family must be Augustine.
"As you guessed, yes, there is indeed a strange attraction between them. However, there is love and entanglement, but no resentment." Xixia said lightly: "The wizard of the Noah clan has a mysterious temperament, and is a strange person whose thoughts and actions are unexpected. My friend was attracted to this aspect of him."
"So is this a one-way secret love, or a two-way rush?"
Xixia: "Interesting description. But it's neither. It can be regarded as... a two-way secret love."
"It was rare for my friend to go out, so I became a sounding board between them. My friend liked Noah, but they only met once, and she thought Noah only regarded her as a friend. But I knew that Noah was very interested in her. My friend fell in love at first sight and hoped that I could help him pass the message, but I knew very well that there were insurmountable obstacles between them."
Angel: "Then did you pass it on?"
Sisia nodded: "I passed it on, but every time Noah wrote those love poems, I would inadvertently give some pointers to make the love poems look less explicit."
Angel: "Even if it's not explicit, it's still a love poem. Can't your friend see it?"
Sisia: "So what if you can tell? She hopes to escape from the cage, but she also knows that this is just an expectation."
Angel: "Then they continue to send letters between them?"
Sisia nodded: "Noah's expressions are becoming more and more explicit, but my friend is becoming more and more restrained, but it is difficult to hide feelings, especially when the other person is a keen wizard. From my friend's words He can also feel the friendship of my friends in his hesitant but lingering strokes."
"It's just that at the moment, neither he nor she can do anything."
Angel: "What happened next?"
Sisia shook her head: "I didn't know about it later. I only served as a mouthpiece for a while. Then, I encountered some inevitable choices. I chose a path that no one expected, and I became what I am now. "
"Has it been transformed into a box?"
Xixia nodded: "After I transformed into a box, I slept for many years. After my soul was completely integrated into the box, my consciousness gradually recovered. At that time, Naraku City had almost reached its end."
"Have you never heard from that senior Noah and your friend again?"
Sisia asked strangely: "Are you very concerned about their ending?"
Angel: "It's not that I care about their ending. Think about it from another perspective, if I tell you a piece of gossip that involves the ancestors of my teammates, and then pique your interest, but don't tell you the ending, what will you do? Do?"
Sisia: "...It will probably drive you crazy and make your heart itch."
Angel: "So, do you understand how I feel now?"
Sisia: "I don't know their ending. I asked the Wise Lord, and it gave me an ambiguous answer. No matter how I asked, the Wise Lord was unwilling to elaborate."
"That's probably the case. I got to know the Noah wizard because of my friend. Although he has an average talent for writing love poems, he himself is a very mysterious person."
Angel, who had written love poems for Augustine, thought to himself: His talent for writing love poems is not average, but rather average.
Angel: "Mysterious? This is the second time you describe him like this."
Sisia thought: "He has a very strange temperament, it is difficult to explain what it feels like. Moreover, he is quite knowledgeable and seems to know everything. As long as you have been to the Noah clan, you can clearly feel that he Completely different from other idiots in Noah’s family.”
"The temperament is very mysterious, the source of knowledge is mysterious, and one more thing, as a prophetic wizard, I can't see through him."
Angel: "It seems that this senior Noah has a big secret."
"Maybe." Sisia looked at Angel: "But speaking of secrets, don't you have any secrets? What you know, know, do, and think are obviously not in line with your age."
Angel didn't answer, but smiled.
Xicia really wanted to know Angel's secret, whether it was the Source Fire or the Source Worshipers he knew. But Angel didn't accept the move, so she had no choice but to put it aside... Maybe she could ask the tribesman named Bobota?
As for whether the tribe will be bribed by Angel, Xicia will not think so much at this time. Even if Popota is really bribed, in her opinion, people from the same clan must be better than Angel, an "outsider". It is easier to get close to them and it will be easier to instigate rebellion.
"Although this Noah is very mysterious, I also learned a lot from him. It can be said that he is the second best friend I met in Naraku City."
"So, for the sake of my best friend, I will naturally be more lenient towards Earl Black, a descendant of the Noah family."
Angel showed a look of sudden realization: "So that's the case. However, Noah's ancestors probably didn't expect that you would treat their descendants' clones leniently, but kick their real descendants away."
What Angel was talking about was Vai, who was kicked out of this dark space by Sisia from the very beginning.
"Can you blame me? I'm not omniscient and omnipotent. Who knew that Vai is also from the Noah family?" Sisia said angrily: "Even if I really knew, I wanted to be lenient to him, but I wouldn't be lenient enough to exchange for ten magic crystals." The point of passing eligibility.”
When Angel mentioned Vai, he simply felt that Sisia's mood was still stuck in past memories, gradually slipping downwards.
Once Sisia's mood is low, it will probably be a bit difficult to ask her questions later.
That’s why the incident of Angel Tiwai happened.
Xicia is indeed easy to divert her attention. When Angel said this, her mood immediately changed.
Taking advantage of Sisia's silence, Angel quickly asked: "By the way, when it comes to the Noah family, I really have some questions to ask you."
Sisia wondered: "I don't know much about the Noah family. The only person I know a little about is that person."
Angel: "What I want to ask may actually be related to that person."
“Oh?”
