"Why doesn't Sister Ieta want to leave here?" Sitting on the white stone steps, feeling the constant trembling of the earth, in order to relieve the vague uneasiness deep in his heart, Medien took the initiative to talk to the girl in the room. "There is no reason." A slightly hoarse and low response came through the old broken wooden door: "As long as I can stay here quietly, that's enough..."
"But, there is no one here." The pink-haired little girl looked around and saw tall and lush trees and colorful primroses growing in the valley. It looked full of life, but in fact it was deserted and lonely. According to Yawei
Judging from the legend of the wind in Ong City, Ieta has been here for at least seven centuries. She has not communicated with outsiders for seven centuries. Medien thought that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to bear this kind of situation.
Loneliness will be tortured to the point of going crazy.
Although Ieta herself didn't seem to think so, she replied flatly: "That's the best."
No one is here, and no one comes to disturb me. Let a person stay quietly in this lonely valley forever, until loneliness, until forever loneliness. That is the best thing for me.
It’s over.
The meaning of decadence and world-weariness revealed in this sentence made Medien not know how to answer. She had always been well protected by the people around her, first her adoptive father Mr. Yanko, and later her brother Ringer, so
He has always maintained his innocent and kind heart, always feeling grateful and longing for this cruel but warm world, which is the opposite of the angel in the room.
Naturally, it is difficult to imagine what kind of experience it took for her to transform from the statue of a lively and cheerful country girl in the square, welcoming the harvest season with a warm smile, to the one where she now locks herself in an empty and monotonous house.
A lonely angel who is deaf to the wonders of the outside world.
Is it just because of the betrayal of David, the shepherd who regarded him as a family member?
But it wasn’t just the shepherd David who she regarded as a relative, right? There were also other villagers in Avignon Village at that time, including the village chief’s grandfather, Aunt Fasu, Grandma Maria, Uncle Jack, and the little boy whom she mentioned personally.
Yin Lian...there are so many villagers who love her deeply. Even if she is involved in a despicable conspiracy and has a soldier's sword on her neck, she still does not betray her like David. In this case, why should she choose
How about punishing herself for a person's betrayal and also punishing those who have never betrayed her?
Metien feels that this kind of thing is wrong.
Although, she is just an outsider and does not have the position or qualification to judge right from wrong.
The little pink-haired girl who understood this lowered her head in dismay. Xie Mi stood on her shoulders, gently stroking her cheeks to comfort her. The lamb was also beside her, nudging her calf with his head, indicating that this was not you.
If you want to blame it, blame Alice.
Saint Xalia walked to the door and whispered through the thin barrier: "Do you mind if I talk to you for a few words, Ieta?"
In the room, the angel's voice was a little tired: "If you still want to persuade me to leave, please give up as soon as possible. I don't want to see you working hard to do a meaningless thing... Although, there are many people in this world
Things are inherently meaningless."
After saying that, she seemed to sigh softly and her mood was very low. It could be seen that the incident with Professor David had greatly stimulated her. As time passed, betrayal and greed would never change.
"I'm not going to persuade you to leave. Maybe you have your own ideas, and I won't force you." Saint Xalia felt that she should learn how to be a good sister, and a good sister would not force her sister.
To do anything, "I just think there are some things I should tell you. Do you mind listening?"
Ieta did not answer, but Saint Xalia heard an inaudible "grace" faintly coming from the wind.
So she started to tell.
About how the goddess created the world, and then assigned her authority to fourteen pure girls, allowing them to take charge of the laws of the world on her behalf; however, in an unknown mutation, the people who were supposed to stay in the Holy Land of Heaven
The fourteen maiden queens of the church were all lost to the world. As the eldest sister, Saint Xalia felt that it was necessary to find them, not only to fulfill her sister's responsibilities, but also to live up to her mother's expectations. But she was missing
It had a lot of memories, so I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. Until one day, I met a young man who ate a golden apple in Linville City. From then on, my destiny changed strangely.
"I was found by Ringer." Ovela interjected when the story came to this point: "At that time, I was locked in a certain castle just like you. Well, although that castle was nicer than your house.
It was much bigger, but there was no light or people, and there were dark and evil shadow beasts everywhere. They wouldn't let me leave, and I gave in because I couldn't resist. But Ringer, Alice, and Saint Shalia
...It was everyone who gave me the courage to bravely cut off the shackles on my body and escape from that dark cage. So, I am very grateful to them and willing to travel with them to see the world that I have never known.
A new world that has never been imagined. The same goes for you, Ieta, as long as you are willing to muster the courage, you will be able to break free from the constraints and regain freedom like me!"
She looked expectantly at the closed door with her sparkling platinum eyes, trying to convince the stubborn angel with her own personal experience. However, she was disappointed. After a while of silence in the room, there was a sound
A faint sigh: "In this way, all my strength is given by that mother, and all the suffering... also comes from her?"
Saint Xalia was slightly startled: "Suffering?"
"Nothing."
In a place where no one could see, the angel shook her head, and then slowly buried her head in her knees. Six holy white wings with dust-covered ends were gently folded, covering her body and letting the other people around her see her.
The voice coming from the feather seemed a little distorted: "Please don't, please take it to heart."
In the gray-white room, the winter snow in my heart never stops.
It lay underground little by little, and in the end, it covered the summer and autumn when the primrose petals bloomed brilliantly, and buried the spring when the wind blew through the mountains and fields, making the windmills on every hill start to rotate slowly.
In the end, all that is left is the gloomy and heavy snow season.
The illusion of vitality in the valley is as prosperous as the gathering of spring, summer and autumn. Only this girl always lives in the snow.
……
The persuasion was fruitless, and both Saint Xalia and Olvera lost their direction. The former bit his lower lip lightly, still refusing to give up, thinking about the tone of the next conversation in his mind; the latter sat on the steps and hugged himself
book, looking up at the wild mist covering the top of the mountain, the lantern flickering beside the princess's ankle.
She saw the rock walls on both sides tremble slightly, and from time to time, pieces of rock and gravel were shaken down, bumping against the rugged and steep cliffs, and finally falling into the bushes with a low muffled sound.
.The noise above seems to be getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know how Ringer and Alice are doing, or what news they have heard.
Ah, just when I thought about them, I started hallucinating before my eyes. It seems that I am too tired because I haven’t slept for several days? But in the castle before, I didn’t sleep for more than 700 years, and I never had hallucinations.
Huh? Or is it because the atmosphere here is too peaceful and makes people sleepy? It's so annoying. I want to sleep, but I can't... Hold on, Olvera, you have to use your own willpower to hold on, don't
Laughed at by Alice.
Well, even Alice in the hallucination is still so annoying. You can hear her yelling from a long distance away. It's just as disgusting as giving random instructions next to you when playing games.
Wait, it seems...not an illusion?
Ove's drooping eyelids suddenly opened wide. She opened her eyes wide and blurted out: "Linger, Alice, are you back!?"
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.
