Tess was already two months pregnant at this time, suffered a shock, and felt deeply disillusioned.
When she returned home, she couldn't help but tell her parents about her experience.
When Tess's parents found out about this, they were angry and scared, so they quickly found a family for her to marry into to cover up the scandal of being pregnant out of wedlock.
The "successor" chosen by the DeUrbervilles for their daughter was Angel Gray, a poor student who had just graduated from the business school and worked as an intern accountant at the business firm across the street.
Tess was obsessed with Alec, the dashing young man, and looked down on Angel, a poor man. She had no choice but to ask him to take over the business to cover up the scandal.
On their wedding night, Tess couldn't bear the guilt of her conscience and couldn't explain why she was not a virgin, so she had to reveal the truth to her husband.
Angel Gray felt deeply humiliated, so he left Coast City the next day, took a boat to work in the Grabelon Colony, and was never heard from again.
Seeing Tess's belly getting bigger, the D'Urbervilles became worried and hesitated whether to let her give birth to the child.
If it is born, it can only be claimed to be the child of Tess and her new husband Angel Grey. But if Gray refuses to admit his guilt after returning from the colony and announces the truth that he was defrauded into a marriage, he will claim that the child is an illegitimate child and belongs to the d'Urbervilles.
The reputation is ruined!
After much deliberation, in the end I could only try to abort the fetus that was about to reach full term.
In the Holy Ashan Empire, which has strong religious traditions, abortion is illegal, and one can only secretly ask quacks to prescribe abortion pills.
After Tess took the medicine, she successfully aborted the fetus. Looking at the poor little guy, she almost had a nervous breakdown in pain.
Tess dressed the dead baby in small clothes that she had sewn by herself, put it in a small coffin, and buried it under the fig tree.
I thought that was the end of the matter.
Unexpectedly, the baby's resentful spirit would never die, and soon after, he would turn into a ghost and cause trouble in the home.
After listening to Mrs. Gray's confession, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin all fell into silence, deeply sympathizing with her experience.
When he was writing the module script, Gao Fei did not describe in detail the causes and consequences of the ghost haunting incident. He just wanted to find an entry point for the male and female protagonists to meet.
The plot completed by the design department was largely divorced from his first draft, so during the game, he could not fully grasp the development direction of the plot.
As far as Tess’s experience is concerned, it is actually nothing new.
It's nothing more than the old routine of the rich second generation playing tricks on poor girls, starting with chaos and finally giving up.
However, it is precisely this kind of vulgar tragedy that can best make people realize that they are not special.
No matter how the times develop and how society changes, the vast majority of players, like Tess and Angel, are ordinary members of the insulted and damaged class, and at the same time have the vanity to achieve a class jump.
The tragedy that happened to Tess and Angel yesterday is still happening countless times today; tomorrow, maybe you and I will also fall into a similar predicament.
Jiang Feng sighed, turned around, walked to the grave of the dead baby, and sprinkled holy water.
A small black shadow floated over quietly.
The ghost baby is suspended above the tomb, with a look of horror and grievance on its face.
Jiang Feng turned around and looked at Tess sympathetically: "If you have anything else to say to this child, this is your last chance."
The young woman sobbed and nodded.
She walked to the grave, stretched out her trembling hands, and tried to hug the illusory baby.
"Son... I'm sorry, mom loves you and will always love you!"
The resentful expression on the baby's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a relieved smile.
He stretched out his chubby little hands, imitating his mother's gesture, and hugged her.
After that, the little figure disappeared.
The mother's sincere repentance resolved the resentment of the dead baby.
This haunting ghost can finally sleep peacefully.
At the same time, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received system prompts:
Gu Jian
"You have completed the main plot of this chapter, astral energy and career level 1!"
Goofy's "Spell Thief" has been upgraded to level 4.
HP7, attribute 1 (charisma 20).
Two new professional abilities have been added, "Evasion" and "Remote Technique".
…
Remote Sleight of Hand: The character learns "Mage's Hand" and can use "Mage's Hand" to perform a long-range "Sleight of Hand" check.
…
The 0-level magic "Mage's Hand" is the most elementary mind control technique.
The palm shaped by magic power can extend up to 30 feet and can bear a maximum weight of about 5 kilograms.
Due to the low weight, the "Mage's Hand" is almost unable to cause damage, and its main purpose is not to attack enemies, but to grab lighter items from the air.
The magic thief's unique skill "remote technique" significantly enhances the flexibility of the "mage's hand" and allows for more precise operations.
After learning this trick, Gao Fei can use the "Mage's Hand" to remotely pick locks and open doors, dismantle traps, or steal wallets from others.
Speaking of "stealing", Gao Fei naturally thinks of the spell thief's signature skill "stealing spells".
"Remote techniques" are also applicable to stealing techniques.
With this move, Gao Fei can hide 30 feet away and steal magic from the caster, which greatly enhances the practical value of stealing magic.
When the spell thief reaches level 4, he can save up to 4 stolen spells.
Counting the two additional spellcasting levels provided by "Skilled Spellcaster", Gao Fei's current comprehensive spellcasting level reaches level 6.
According to the rules of magic theft, he can now steal up to 2 levels of magic.
After looking at his spell list, Gao Fei felt that level 0 "Magic Explosion" and "Whip of Thorns" were pretty good and necessary to keep. As for level 1 "Detect Undead", after completing the ghost incident in the grocery store,
It seems that there is no need to keep it anymore and can be replaced with more practical spells.
Calculated in this way, Gao Fei can also steal two magic spells, preferably both of them are 2-level magic.
Unfortunately, there is no suitable target yet.
There's no need to rush this.
Tomorrow he will be able to enter Ma Yun's mage module "The Wizard of Oz" as an ally. The most indispensable thing there is magic, and the good times are yet to come!
Jiang Feng's "Temple of the Temple" has also been upgraded to level 4.
HP7, attribute 1 (perception 20).
The newly learned professional ability is "cutting with the trend".
In addition, Jiang Feng also obtained the second level 1 divine spell.
After some deliberation, I finally chose “reduction surgery”.
When necessary, shoot a "shrinking spell" on yourself, which can increase the agility attribute by 2 points and dodge by 1 point. It is still very practical for a quasi-thief profession like "Raiders of the Temple", which is more dexterous.
In addition, "shrinking" can also be used as a debuff, applied to the enemy.
Especially those big guys with brute strength will be easier to deal with after they are reduced in size.
Martin is promoted to level 4 ranger.
HP9, attribute 1 (perception 18).
Acquire two professional abilities, "Trap Expert" and "Emerald Vision".
…
Emerald Vision: Line of sight penetrates the obstruction of plants.
