"At that time, I had some experience on how to digest potions, so I told your father and left Backlund. But I didn't expect that your mother died after giving birth to you, so Mason's spirit almost collapsed.
By the time I found out, it was too late. Even if I thought the Earl asked for advice on how to digest the potion and learned about the 'acting method', there was no way to save Mason's unstable spirit."
Alas! Rawls sighed inwardly. Until his death, he thought that Mason valued his work more and didn't care about his son. The result was that Mason's spirit was not stable at all. But now he knows, so what, both of them are gone.
"Two years ago, your father asked Ken List to send me a message, hoping to meet me."
"Is father dying?"
Bird Mustang did not answer Rawls' question, and continued in a low voice: "After receiving the news from Ken, my spirituality told me to return to Backlund as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely regret it."
Everyone has spirituality and can communicate with the spirit world and higher-level information related to themselves, but ordinary people cannot detect this. When using divination tools, this information will be presented with the help of the tools. Even if
Without divination, as a Sequence Five "Chaos Mentor", Bird Mustang also has a strong grasp of his own spirituality.
"By the time I quietly returned to Backlund, Mason could no longer hold on any longer. He had overly tortured his body when he was young, and after he became a Beyonder, his mental instability increased the burden on his body. Coupled with his hard work,
Let Mason be like a burning candle that may be extinguished at any time.
Originally, I planned to let Mason take the Sequence 8 "Barbarian" potion to make him stronger. As for the effect of the potion, that can only be discussed later. But Mason was unwilling to take it, so I had to let him drink some.
The healing potion came, but that would only delay it for a little longer."
Bird Mustang, the "Viscount of Fear", sat on a chair, as if praying, with his hands crossed and pressed against his buried forehead.
Rawls just watched quietly there, that was all he could do.
After a while, Bird Mustang straightened up and breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Rawls and asked:
"Did you know that your father didn't want you to be extraordinary?"
How could it be? Didn't Mason want to invite Bird Mustang back and make his predecessor an Extraordinary?
No, Mason should know the formula of the "lawyer" potion. If he doesn't want Rawls to come into contact with Bird Mustang and the extraordinary world, he shouldn't be allowed to come back.
Seeing Rawls' shocked look, "Viscount Fear" felt a little better, but then he became sad again and said: "Your father doesn't want you to become an extraordinary person, doesn't want you to step into the extraordinary world, and even wants me to never be there again."
Contact you!"
"Why?" Rawls asked, he really couldn't figure out what Mason meant.
"Are you asking me why Mason doesn't want you to become an Extraordinary, or are you asking me why I ignored Mason's entrustment and allowed you to become an Extraordinary?"
"Both."
"Mason said that even if your relationship is not good, he believes that you can live a good life without becoming an extraordinary person. And with Edmund here, the firm will not collapse, and with the property he left you, you will definitely
We won’t live the same life we had before!”
Rawls was a little dumbfounded, whether he trusted or distrusted.
"Mason told me that his destiny changed because he became an Extraordinary, and because he was an Extraordinary, he became like that. He does not regret becoming an Extraordinary, but he does not want you to become an Extraordinary and become a child of Lian He.
Poor bastards who can't get along with each other normally."
Only now did Rawls truly understand that sentence. We are guardians, and we are also a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness. Although Mason is not a Nighthawk, once he becomes an Extraordinary, there is no way out, or he will die.
, or crazy.
What a crazy and chaotic world!
"I originally planned to follow Mason's words, take away the extraordinary characteristics he extracted, leave Backlund, and never return. But I really don't worry. Mason is my last friend in the world, and you are his only one.
Child, so I stayed and hid in this secret room."
"I originally planned to wait for you to return from Tingen and officially take over the office before leaving. But before you returned, Edmund had a heart attack when he heard the news of your father's death. If I hadn't had some remaining potions there,
, maybe Edmund will be dead before you come back."
No wonder Uncle Robert didn't look very good and looked very weak during the funeral held for Mason in his predecessor's memory.
"I had doubts about Mason's arrangement. After thinking about it all night, I decided to let you become an extraordinary person. Only when you have the power, you have the right to choose."
"So you broke in on the second night after I arrived, pretending to be a ferocious big pirate, and forced me to become your intelligence spy in Backlund."
Rawls found it a bit funny. When he was forced to become a pirate intelligence officer, his predecessor was scared to death, and the result was like this.
"What do you mean by pretending to be a pirate? I am a pirate! And a big pirate with 18,000 pounds!"
Rawls almost forgot that if Bird Mustang was not the second officer of the Black Emperor, his own strength would be enough to make him a pirate general. After all, "Hurricane Vice Admiral" Qilingos is only a "Wind Blessed" in Sequence 6
, with his "creeping hunger", he also joined the ranks of pirate generals.
"The relationship between you and your father is not good, and I was afraid that you would misunderstand Mason, so I hid everything about him, hoping to explain it later.
You are different from your father. After taking the magic potion, I will tell you about the acting method, and it will not become like that."
After saying this, "Viscount Fear" became quiet, presumably thinking of Mason Adrian.
Rawls comforted: "Father will not blame you. If I had not become an extraordinary person, maybe I would not be like this today."
"Well, when I stayed here for a week, I saw that you were very resistant to me teaching you extraordinary knowledge, so I had to leave first, hoping that you could learn by yourself later. But when I came back a year later, I found that the secret room had returned to the way it was before.
The books I left you containing mystical knowledge are covered in dust."
Bird Mustang pointed at the books on the desk. The dust on them had been swept away by him with the "Hurricane Ring".
"Because I was forced by you at that time, I was a little resistant to these things." Rawls was also helpless. He didn't know whether he should blame Bird Mustang for being rough or his predecessor's stubbornness.
