At this time, the child who had never spoken suddenly turned to the bewilderment and said:
"Confused, I want to meet that person."
The deceiver turned around.
"Mortal, your current situation——"
"It doesn't matter, even if it doesn't take a little longer to survive, I want to confirm it myself. Although I agreed with this plan at the beginning, the passage of time has made me waver. That's it. I hope you can help me.
"
The confused man nodded slightly.
"All right."
During the conversation between the two, the other three seemed not to care about the child's attitude and were still talking to themselves.
However, the hourglass had reached its final moment, and the singer suddenly raised his voice.
"I request the implementation of Article 19 of the Holy Contract, with unlimited discretion. During the execution stage of the plan, the Bewitcher can no longer leave Thunder Stone!"
As soon as he said this, the signs of the three arches lit up at the same time, and then countless golden chains flew out from the dome, dragging the confused person into his own arch, and the confused person did not resist and accepted it all quietly.
The next second, he reappeared in the scripture room of Thunder Stone Church.
Shaking his head with a sigh, the Bewitcher turned around and put the hourglass back on the table, but when he saw the small white porcelain cup on the table, a relaxed hum came from under the mask.
"I said that if you act like this, you will definitely force them to use unlimited discretion."
A soft voice sounded from behind, and the confused man turned around and saw a boatman in a brown robe pushing open the door and entering at some point.
After she came in, she lifted her hood, revealing a face with smooth lines, bright and deep eyes and a tall nose. Her healthy wheat-colored skin paired with her blond hair made her look very graceful and luxurious, even though she was wearing
The simple robe also looks like a noble imperial queen.
The confused person looked at the other person and nodded.
"I know."
"So it seems you have a new plan?"
"There's no plan to speak of. If the unlimited discretion that can only be used once in a thousand years is used on this matter, then they will lose the last trump card to restrict me. It's not a loss."
The woman walked slowly to the table, and then glanced at the still steaming tea cup.
"Jaghatai has arrived."
"Well, I asked him to bring a letter to Clarks."
The woman frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Are you going to drag him into this?"
The confused person did not answer directly, but tapped the table with his fingers a few times, and after thinking for a long time, he said:
"They have already found that one."
The woman just looked at him silently, her slender hands crossed in front of her belly, and a black ring with a jade-like texture on her left ring finger. She looked like a widow who was paying her respects to her husband's grave.
It seemed that he was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party. The confused man coughed lightly and said:
"If possible, I actually don't want to involve him and let him complete his revenge freely, but the situation..."
"Confused, the reason why I was willing to follow you and help you was because you promised not to hurt those children again."
Although her voice was slow and soft, it was so powerful that even the candles in the scripture room began to sway.
"But now your various behaviors have made me suspicious."
The confused man sighed softly.
"Everything I did was to protect them, including Soshyan, although he is not your child -"
"He counts."
The woman firmly interrupted the bewitcher.
"Since Xerxes chose him, he is also my child...I don't have such narrow thoughts as you."
The confused man remained silent.
The two of them stood in silence until the sand on the hourglass on the table fell away.
"Xerxes' queen Elena...did she come looking for you?"
Upon hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on the woman's face.
"Why, would you care about an ordinary woman?"
"Sigh, there's no point in holding your breath like this. I hope we can communicate more smoothly."
The woman suppressed her smile and said softly:
"Yes, she came to see me more than once."
When she spoke, only her lips moved slightly, but her body was like a sculpture.
The confused person was not surprised by this and asked:
"It's probably because of your help that she can live so long."
"yes."
"What is she going to do?"
"You should have guessed."
"Then why are you helping her?"
"I couldn't ignore her despair, especially when she knelt down helplessly and called me mother."
The confused man gently covered his forehead with his hands.
"After all these years, you are still so emotional."
Hearing this sentence, the woman's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and her tone suddenly increased by several decibels.
"Then who caused all this tragedy!"
The confused person did not give in this time and responded in a deep voice:
"This is not a reason for you to act willfully! This will only amplify the tragedy. Since you keep claiming that Soshyan is also your child, where do you put him? You already know Xerxes's wish back then.
, what does your current behavior mean?"
The woman was silent, and her right hand gently clenched her left hand unconsciously.
After a long time, she whispered:
"I actually didn't give her much help, I just gave her some power and my Tarot cards..."
"you--"
The confused man let out a long sigh and tapped his head twice with his fist.
"Well, at least it's not the worst outcome. Now that I know the situation, it's easier for me to deal with it."
At this time, the woman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly moved her steps, walked to the side of the bewitcher, and whispered:
"One more thing, the mark I left on Veronica seemed to have a reaction..."
"Hmm? Engraving? Was it on the ship?"
"Yes."
"What does it mean?"
"She...may be pregnant. I'm also guessing because the reaction of the engraving is very weak. I won't know the true situation unless I confirm it myself."
The confused person suddenly froze, and after a while he slowly turned around, walked to the bookshelf, pulled out an unknown ancient book, and flipped through it a few times.
Soon, he found what he was looking for. After reading it, he nodded.
"Although the drifting sanctuary was discovered a long time ago, there has been no way to enter it. Now it seems that that place should be the place where the ancient saints used to create life. Soshyan and Veronica are likely to be in the sanctuary.
They had intercourse inside, thereby breaking the layers of isolation... Surprise, surprise, I am afraid that even Tzeentch could not have expected this. After all, that sanctuary can isolate all invisible peeps, but if it is true, then this seems to make the plan possible.
New possibilities, um..."
Just as the confused man was thinking, the woman suddenly interrupted him.
"Then tell me, if the two of them really gave birth to offspring, what would it look like?"
"Well - I can't tell you, why are you suddenly asking like this? Aren't you even sure about it?"
The woman shook her head.
"Just a casual question."
But then she changed the subject.
"How do you see the relationship between two people?"
The confused man replied while flipping through the ancient scroll in his hand:
"Relationships...Although they are ethereal, I don't know why they were born, and I don't know why they were formed, but they are extremely stubborn, and it is difficult for external forces to destroy them. However, the difficulties those two people will encounter are not ordinary external forces.
Whether you can bear it depends on luck and your own control."
The woman was silent for a while, then turned to leave without saying anything, but the bewitcher suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a minute, can you listen to me talk a little more?"
The woman stopped and turned around gracefully.
"I'm listening."
"Don't tell anyone about Veronica, and before making any decisions, calm down and consider the consequences, okay, Alda?"
The woman called Erda smiled slightly and bent down.
"As you command, the supreme Lord of mankind."
After saying that, she walked out of the scroll room without looking back. Faced with such an attitude, the confused man behind her could only shake his head helplessly and continue to read the ancient scrolls.
