After Sisia finished telling the story behind the paper, she summoned Doakes' "ticket" - the Holy Light Cane 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 feelings in this are the stories of how many people?"
"Four, if you include the maker, there are five stories."
Angel: "..."
He originally thought that if it was a story about two people, he could already imagine a bloody drama. But he 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 love each other when seeing things.
But if this is really the script, then Doakes' seemingly indifferent relaxation before was actually just a performance? He must still be reluctant to let go, after all... he loved it.
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. And your teammate, he chose before
He wanted to keep it, but now he has chosen to give it up. Perhaps in his view, giving up is also to protect his friends."
Angel thought for a while, and it seemed that what Sicia said was right. He had always thought too one-dimensionally and superficially about similar emotional issues. In fact, no matter what kind of emotion it was, it was very complex, just like human emotions.
Emotions are the same, always ups and downs.
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 get entangled. 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? Each one must be compared.
Sisia glanced at the cane for the last time with complicated eyes, 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 and Sicia talked about?
"This slate is the bearer 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, which is about sixty years old.
Years have witnessed some emotional changes in Black Earl’s Nose over the years.”
"However, his emotions are very weak and his meaning is not 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 accepted it."
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 directly ask Xicia why she treats the Noah family differently, Xicia may not answer. But if Angel directly brings Baiyuan and the Noah family to the same level, Xicia is more likely to explain.
A lot.
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: "Now the Noah family is a giant in the Southern Territory."
Xixia 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 Baiyuan is not related to the Noah clan, why does Miss Sisia give preferential treatment to Earl Black? Could it be... that she is interested in 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 Xixia and Bobota met, they would understand the current situation of the worshipers, except for An
There are basically no connections in Guerwai. If Sisia really wants to revive the Baiyuan tribe like Bobota, without the support of more forces, he will still be grouped in the same way as the original Baiyuan people.
Wolves share food.
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 Sicia was about to retort, she suddenly paused. Thinking about it carefully, Angel seemed to be teasing, but underneath the playful tone, there was a very real problem hidden.
The Baiyuan Clan does not rise up just because they have the Source Fire and their ancestral altar is rekindled.
Rise is a purpose and a result. But without a process, where will the result be?
And can this process of rise really be achieved by Xicia and Popota, whom she has never met yet?
Sisia's eyes gradually became serious, her thoughts became narrower and narrower, and her prospects became more and more dire.
At this moment, Angel said: "We were suddenly speechless. Is it because you don't want to answer this question? Or are you thinking about how to deal with me?"
Sisia rolled her eyes at Angel: "I'm just thinking about something!"
Angel looked like "I understand": "Is this your normal behavior in the past ten thousand years? You start to meditate on whatever comes to mind. As soon as you meditate, you don't realize that the sky is getting dark and the earth is dark, so time just goes by?"
"If that's the case, I don't care. Are you planning to let Popota wait until she dies of old age?"
Xicia: "...little bastard, you have a lot of wild ideas, but unfortunately all of them are wrong."
Angel said nonchalantly: "It's just wrong. I don't care about right or wrong. I just want to remind you that those things that are out of reach can be remembered in your heart. When the day comes, you can think about it again.
How to face it. After all, the Baiyuan clan is favored by heaven, and its re-emergence may be destined in itself, just like a distant mountain seems unattainable, but when you get closer, you find that there is a ladder leading directly to the top of the mountain."
Hearing this, how could Sicia not understand that Angel had completely seen through her thoughts. In other words, her thoughts were simply guided by Angel.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
"Do you know, it's disgusting for you to do this?" Sicia looked at Angel intently.
Angel looked innocent: "Did I do anything bad? I even specially arranged for you to meet Popota."
Sisia was silent for a moment and hummed softly: "I'm too lazy to argue with you. Also, I want to take back what I said before."
Angel: "Oh?"
Sisia: "I said before that nothing lasts forever and nothing is destined. Now I take back the second half of my sentence. I hope some things are destined."
As for what this "some things" are, both Xicia and Angel knew it tacitly.
As Xicia said these words, her originally gloomy mood dissipated a lot. In terms of merit, Angel would be the first to recommend it, but Xicia didn't want to admit that she was screwed over by a little kid.
His emotions were ups and downs, so he simply changed the topic.
"Back to the topic, you just asked me why I gave the Black Earl preferential treatment. There is a reason." Sisia pretended to have a long conversation.
Angel also kept quiet at the right time, as if giving Sicia a lot of face.
Sisia: "At the beginning...that is, ten thousand years ago, I was sent to Narok City by the prophet. For some reasons that cannot be explained in detail, I met a friend."
The so-called "cannot elaborate" actually has two answers: because of the oath or because of the mission sent by the prophet.
Angel couldn't decide which one it was specifically. However, as long as it didn't affect the overall situation, he didn't bother to guess at this time.
"My friend has a very special status. She has an excellent background. However, she seems to be aloof, but in fact she is a bird trapped in a cage. Everything in her life has been arranged long ago."
"She longs for freedom and also longs for all life outside the cage."
"I had a very special status in Naraku City at that time. Being friends with her would not cause any objection from her family. On the contrary, I was happy for our friendship."
When Sisia told stories about the past, her eyes gradually began to blur: "At first we were wary of each other, but then something happened and we became best friends..."
"After becoming a close friend, I also learned about her situation. Out of pity, I used an excuse to get her family to allow me to take her out of the 'cage' and go out to relax."
"To be honest, I still don't know whether I did the right thing or the wrong thing when I took her out that time."
Angel didn't want to speak at first, but Sicia was deep in thought, so she could only open her mouth to give him a proper compliment: "Why did you say that?"
"Because she met someone outside."
To be continued...
