Chapter 125 Even an ugly duckling may become a white swan
Takaki thought Mariella would need some time, but she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
It is not an easy task to investigate all the secret locations of the Assassination Department in the Diamond Kingdom. Even if Mariela is also a member of the Assassination Department, it is impossible to easily obtain information on the hiding places of all assassination members. p>
In order to take revenge, Mariella really worked hard.
After wiping all the tables, Taoki stretched his arms, raised his head and looked at the darkening sky outside the tavern, and smiled slightly.
The people in the Assassination Unit probably also like to operate at night.
Takaki is preparing to take action against the Diamond Kingdom's assassination force, not just to avenge Mariella.
Night.
"In the end, the ugly duckling turned into a white swan and lived happily with the other swans."
In the tavern, Takaki finished the story with a smile on his face and a calm tone.
"Great."
"The ugly duckling will definitely have a happy life in the future."
"Wow, that's amazing."
Mal and others sat around Takaki, and each one spoke happily.
"How did the ugly duckling turn into a swan?" A puzzled voice came from the child.
Before Taomu could say anything, another voice had already sounded.
"How is this impossible? Brother Asta can join the Magic Knights without magic power. How can the ugly duckling not turn into a white swan?"
Luca’s firm voice immediately sounded out among the children.
As soon as these words came out, Rebecca's younger brothers and sisters suddenly became quiet, and each of them looked thoughtful and approving.
"Luca, you can't say that!"
Rebecca was originally calculating the accounts at the counter. When she heard Luka's words, she immediately raised her head and said in a serious voice.
"Yes, sister." Luka shrank in fear and glanced at Takashi cautiously.
"Haha, your metaphor is quite vivid."
"Magic itself is full of miraculous power. When you grow up, you may become a member of the Magic Knights, or even a more powerful person."
Takaki smiled and said.
Rebecca walked over from behind the counter, reached out and smoothed back her red hair, pretending to have a serious expression.
"Now that you've finished listening to the story, why don't you go back to your room to rest? The tavern will open tomorrow, and you guys will have to get up early to help."
Rebecca spoke with a somewhat stern voice.
"Good night, sister, Brother Takaki."
Mal, Luca and the others stood up quickly, bowed to Takaki and Rebecca, and ran towards the room upstairs at a trot.
When Takaki saw this scene, he burst into laughter.
"You can't always be too gentle when dealing with children." Rebecca looked at Yamu next to her, her cheeks were slightly red, and the serious expression on her face disappeared, and she spoke in a low voice.
"That's true."
Takaki nodded with a chuckle.
Facing Tasaki's relaxed smile, Rebecca remembered the story she just told and suddenly spoke subconsciously:
"The ugly duckling can turn into a white swan, maybe it itself is a white swan."
"Huh?"
Zaki was startled and looked at Rebecca with a little surprise.
This argument has actually been made in previous lives, and the story itself actually encourages people to be positive. It was a bit surprising to Takumi that Rebecca would suddenly say such an argument given her character.
"My father was a businessman who traveled between towns to deliver goods. Because he accidentally entered the territory of a noble lord, he was killed by the noble lord."
"When the news came back, my mother was pregnant with her youngest brother Cobb. When she heard the news, she also died in childbirth."
Rebecca was very calm when she said these things, as if telling another unrelated story. At the end, Rebecca looked at Tagi with red eyes:
"I just hope that Mal and the others can be safe. Whether it's the Magic Knights or the nobles, that's all the business of the big shots."
Takaki looked at Rebecca in silence.
He knew before that Rebecca's parents had passed away, but he didn't know how they died, and Takaki didn't ask about it. After all, it was a very private matter.
"I'm sorry to remind you of sad things."
Takaki looked at Rebecca, who had red eyes and a tough look in front of him, and said apologetically.
"This is in the past, and there is nothing sad about it." Rebecca shook her head, her voice was calm, and she didn't seem to care much.
Takaki knew why Rebecca showed no concern. Rather than "not caring", it was better to say "powerless".
Is it illegal for nobles to kill people?
Maybe or not, the key lies in who the other party is.
If a civilian breaks into his own territory, he will be killed naturally.
"So, you just want to open an ordinary small restaurant or pub, and then raise your younger brothers and sisters. But is this really what you want?"
Zaki looked at the stubbornness on Rebecca's cheeks and suddenly asked.
He did not directly ask Rebecca if she had any thoughts of revenge, because it did not make any sense to Rebecca at the moment.
"It doesn't matter." Rebecca smiled solemnly, then turned and walked towards the counter, "I have an account to calculate. It will open tomorrow, so you can go to bed early."
While speaking, Rebecca's reddish eyes disappeared and returned to their usual appearance, as if the conversation just now did not exist.
"I don't know if the ugly duckling is a white swan."
"Even an ugly duckling may become a white swan and possess the power of a white swan."
Taoki's voice was soothing and he spoke calmly, as if he was joking but also very serious.
He has the ability to bestow magic on others. This "endowment" is not simply giving a magical attribute, but the source of magic!
Magic comes from the soul.
The source of magic power is the foundation of a magician's power.
Among the many magic sources in Taaki's hands, there are three strongest ones. One is Fagrain's fire magic source, one is Mars' ore magic source, and the other is Yuno's wind magic source.
These three magic sources are not only a kind of power, but also represent potential, leader-level potential!
As long as Takaki bestows these three magic sources on others, then the other party has the potential to become a leader!
Rebecca paused and looked at Takashi with some surprise and confusion, obviously not understanding what Takaki said just now.
"It's nothing. I'm going back to the room now. You should have a rest early." Zaki shook his head and walked towards the room upstairs.
Rebecca stood behind the counter, watching Tasaki disappearing up the stairs with the corner of her eye, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Takaki returned to the room and locked the door.
"Rebecca's mood seems a little different today."
Takaki murmured softly to himself, and then put this thought behind him. It is difficult to guess a woman's mind, let alone a little girl.
Maybe it’s just that there are a few days every month when I feel bad.
Shake your head.
"I hope Mariella is not in a hurry."
Takaki raised his hand and grabbed the void in front of him, and took out the mask magic tool he had received from Domine in a different space.
When Mariella turned into him, she used this magic tool.
According to the impression in his mind, Takaki put the mask on his face. With the help of the magic tool, his entire body shape immediately changed dramatically.
