The light female voice continued to laugh, and although Emilia was very smart, she was a little confused about the time relationship at the moment. She smoothed over the entire process of the matter in her mind, and then she was surprised to find that the other party said
That's quite right.
The contract was signed in the present, so it is eligible to collect the debt in the present; but after arriving in the present through time, Thomas Bennet went to the past, and the contract in the past was not signed, so it cannot collect the debt.
.
This seems to have become an unsolvable problem, and unsolvable means that it seems that the man who just lost his hand suddenly broke free from the shackles of the ancient man in the forest in this way, and gained powerful power from the being behind the door.
His power, and even because he voluntarily admitted defeat, even the fate of the chosen one would not come to him again.
Emilia vaguely felt that everything tonight was a game. In this game, she was used to give the other party a chance to get rid of everything and gain freedom.
She came here tonight with anxiety, and was concerned about how to defeat the powerful enemies one by one. Finally, she and Sha De walked to the ancient man in the forest, but she did not expect that the "goalkeeper" in the first level had planned it from the beginning.
Take advantage of tonight's opportunity to escape it all.
Emilia Siam Nord, who has been free since she was a child, does not have a deep understanding of the concept of "freedom", but after thinking about it all, she somehow understands what "freedom" means to those who are trapped in the whirlpool.
How important it is.
"The Bennet family of Vesta Grove has been the servants of the tree here since the early sixth era. This has been true for generations, until you came here. He has been dissatisfied with everything about his family since his youth.
After knowing the date of his wife's death, he hated the power of time even more.
So these dissatisfactions gave rise to thoughts of escaping from it all, and these thoughts became a reality tonight."
The smiling voice continued to ask Emilia:
"Young tree elf, can you help me and give me the answer on how to go to that nasty 'liar' to collect the debt?"
The smile became more and more intoxicating, and when he said this, the voice coming from the darkness behind the door actually sounded a bit sad and self-pitying:
"If you help me, kind elf, I can give you a reward~"
But even Amelia could tell that the other party didn't feel angry at all after being "cheated", nor did he feel any urgency to collect the debt:
"I don't want your reward! I don't want anything!"
The elf hiding behind Shade said this, and Shade was particularly pleased with this.
But this does not mean that Emilia really can't think of a solution. This solution is obvious to her as soon as she thinks about it. After all, it is her instinct to go to Shade when she encounters a problem:
"But I know you can ask Shade for help. In the early summer of 1854, you could ask Shade to help you collect debts.
Although the contract at that time has not yet been signed, you can prepare to take action first. As long as you don't take the initiative to find him to ask for debts, you have not violated any rules; and for you today in the Frost Moon of 1854, when Sha De came
When I came to you, it was actually your preparation to find Xia De in advance to prevent someone from defaulting on the loan that really worked."
The more Emilia thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was the best:
"So you only need to tell Shad before Shad enters the Vista Grove that you want him to find a person named Thomas Bennett to collect debts, and then wait until Shad meets that person before guiding Shad."
She suddenly closed her mouth, and a series of stories told by Shade in the past were connected together, and she finally realized what was happening now.
Then the half of the face behind the dark door smiled even more happily:
"When I was in Moon Bay this summer, I couldn't directly say the name 'Thomas Bennet', otherwise it would be equivalent to my power violating the rules of time. So I only need to tell your sweetheart a surname."
, after all, as long as the two meet, there is definitely no possibility of peaceful coexistence."
Shade didn't speak again until this moment:
"Did you really believe that I would meet Thomas Bennet, who traveled through time and escaped from the present, just this summer?"
After Shade asked the question, she did not get an immediate answer from the woman's voice. Instead, Emilia felt that Shade took a step back. So out of thoughts that she did not understand, the elf boldly looked out from the side of Shade's body.
After taking a look, I saw that the open door of the concert hall was illuminated at one corner by an unknown light.
On the side of the door, a white hand pressed on the door frame, and the face that looked very weak and charming poked out from the edge of the door frame.
Emilia Siam Nord felt that she even forgot to breathe at this moment because of the astonishing beauty. It was difficult for her to use specific words to describe what kind of face it was. She was in the Witch Academy of the Fifth Era.
She had seen countless beautiful faces that made her feel ashamed, and she had also seen the faces of the great witches who surrounded Shade in the Sixth Age, but together they were probably not as attractive as the face that appeared behind the door at the moment.
The elf was very sure that he was not the kind of person who liked pretty girls, but at this moment he still felt that his heart was touched.
But fortunately, Shade is by her side, and although that face is very beautiful, if you think about it carefully, that beauty is a bit too fake.
"I'm pretty sure of that."
The half-smiling face behind the door smiled. Even though her whole face had been revealed, only part of her fair neck could be seen, but her shoulders could not be seen. It was as if there was a strip of hair connected under her head.
A white and tender neck like a big snake.
The soft hand holding the door frame tapped the door frame itself with its fingertips:
"I'm pretty sure that as long as you enter the Vista Grove, you will definitely meet him. This is destined. As for why, someone will tell you the answer later. Or, haven't you already guessed it?"
The same purple eyes as Luvia stared at Shade’s face:
"Then now that the debt collection mission is over, give him to me."
Shade then reached into his pocket and took out the toy that the corpse had turned into. The monster that ran out of the cupboard when he first came to the local area and the monster that ran out of the doomsday crack was actually Thomas Bennet.
.
The correct timeline should be that Shade witnessed Bennet signing a contract with "Desire" tonight in the Frost Moon, and then he escaped into the blurred time and space, and somehow entered the doomsday era, and finally last week
He escaped from the doomsday rift, his face was burned by the moonfire, and his right eye was blinded by the witch's arrow.
The explosion in his right eye caused him to enter unknown time and space again, until he escaped from the cabinet of the Accordion Hotel during the Harvest Moon two months ago, and finally died at the hands of Grace and Helen.
But the real beginning of the story should be this summer, when the "mermaid" under Count Darmanin's mansion told Shade that since she helped him, Shade needed to do something for her.
So after the Battle of Moon Bay, Shade heard the surname "Bennet" for the first time during the Flower Moon in summer.
Shade took this surname and the task of collecting debts with him and went down the timeline; while Thomas Bennet, who escaped into the cracks in time, somehow traveled back through time and met Shade again and again. Therefore, in
Tonight in the Frost Moon, for Thomas Bennet, was the first step towards his freedom; but for Shade, his story with Bennet came to an end at this time.
After all, everything that should happen has happened in the past.
The corpse fell on the pink snow, and immediately disappeared as if it had merged into the water. The reason why even Sister Devlin could not channel this corpse is finally clear - the time has not yet come, the soul
Although it does not yet belong to "desire", it will not allow others to get involved in this soul.
Shade protected the two elf girls behind him, but he still had his own questions:
"I believe that you, who are now at the beginning of summer, already know so many things that will happen in the future. But what are you doing all this for? You have already seen through Thomas Bennet's thoughts, but you have tried your best to let me participate.
Acting out this drama, I don't believe you were really deceived by him.
So, what is it about him that attracts you?"
If he knows this, Shade can work hard to change the same traits he possesses, so as to reduce the degree of attention from the "mermaid".
The face behind the door reveals more of that beautiful face to the light, and the resulting neck is longer:
"Now that you know the story of Thomas Bennet, do you really need to ask this question?
His love for his wife was so deep, but because he already knew the date of his wife's death, he spent the entire marriage with fear and uneasiness. Because of his love, he chose to resist the ancients, and because of his love for his wife, he was even willing to sacrifice his three daughters.
It was 'entrusted' to me, but in the end it was because of this love that I got the fate I deserved.
Love ferments in fear and worry, just like pearls polished by gravel, and like charming wine brewed in repeated torture. Don't you think that this kind of tragedy caused by the truest and pure love is worse than any other
Do all the burlesques have to be exciting?"
The corner of Xia De's mouth trembled. The other person's metaphor of "making wine" reminded him of bad memories. But Xia De understood the general meaning of "desire". She fell in love with this pure love, so it was disgusting.
Added a funny ending to this story:
"So, you think Thomas Bennet is a clown?"
The face smiled and said:
"I'm not a clown, but I like this kind of tragedy caused by love. Think about it, an interesting soul. From his perspective, he has done the best in every step he makes.
Every decision was not a mistake at the time.
But the final outcome is that even after tens of millions of years of time and space, even if he truly reaches the end of time, he still cannot undo this tragedy of love and life. Time seems to be a circle, and he has walked a long way.
Will come back later."
After a moment's pause:
"Just like what you said, I could have stopped him when he was escaping just now. It would not be difficult. But don't you think it would be more interesting to let him leave and then let you throw out his body?
?
Only such an infatuated soul, such a funny story, and such a tragic life are worthy of my collection."
PS: Is the picture in the previous chapter really scary (face covering)? The author thinks it looks stunningly beautiful.
