Chapter 258 The mature main task will be completed by itself
When a crew member really hopes to meet someone by chance, "Silver" will never let him see that person; when a crew member wants to take another look at a certain place, "Silver" will never let him
Pass by this place.
As long as you stay on the boat... you are destined to pass by the people you want to see and the places you want to go.
This is the curse called "So close to the end of the world".
But if it is used in reverse, it can also be used as a shelter.
For example, Arthur sincerely hopes that he can become a gold-level person and return to the family to control power - then the power of "silver" will make him avoid his own people;
The centaur Lucia wants to find her own race and return to the hermitage of centaurs. So as long as she is still on "Silver", she will never encounter any centaurs, and she will never enter the hermitage of centaurs.
.
When a person has some kind of "impulsive wish" hidden in his heart, silver will never give him the chance to realize this wish.
For example, he confesses to a girl who knows he doesn't like him, assassinates an enemy who is absolutely unable to fight, and a wanted person returns to his hometown to meet his family, etc.
This is something many people will have, [the wish to commit suicide].
Therefore, Selicia’s selection of candidates is very particular.
All the crew members she chose were losers with "a strong desire to commit suicide."
If they don't ascend to Silver, the burning fire in their hearts will eventually completely destroy their lives.
And as long as they are still on "Silver", they will never take the next step.
This is a lag. It is a constraint.
And Celicia believes that this is also a kind of salvation——
It allows them to stay away from those "dangerous wishes", hibernating in a dark place where no one can find them, quietly accumulating strength and tempering their will.
In fact, even Selicia herself was one of the people saved by "Silver".
Of course Celicia wants to see her teacher again from the bottom of her heart... This is her most sincere wish.
But her rationality also told her clearly - even if she saw it, what would happen?
Just meeting once, what's the use?
Does the teacher really still need her?
You must know that the teacher is also a gold-level transcendent, and is the former leader of the Hand of Winter. He is proficient in intelligence collection and analysis. If you really want to find her, every time she arrives at her destination and leaves "Silver"
, is enough to contact her.
Since he doesn't come to see her, it means he has no need of her.
——This is a relatively optimistic estimate.
Another thought hidden in her heart was...
...She may have been abandoned.
In the plan of the Inverse Winter so far, she seems to have reached the end. All the roles that Selicia can play have been exhausted. Even she herself doesn't know what else she can do for the teacher.
The teacher didn't even issue any more tasks to her.
Does this mean that she is no longer needed?
Even if she has reached the gold level?
Even if she is no longer the weak and powerless Solonik?
Even if she...has obtained such a beautiful body?
So, is her existence meaningless?
Once she thinks about this issue carefully, she can't help but shudder - if she thinks about it carefully, it will even destroy her entire worldview so far.
The reason why she was willing to accept the curse of "Silver" at that time... was actually just because she wanted to deceive herself.
If she blames all the blame for her inability to see her teacher on Shirogane, it seems that the teacher is not so ruthless. She can also temporarily forget her wishes - wishes that cannot be achieved are meaningless.
That can only be called a fantasy.
...But now, the situation is different.
Perhaps it was precisely because he was sucked into an alien-level nightmare that his connection with "Silver" was severed. Only then could he contact His Majesty Annan and have the opportunity to fulfill his wish...
——There is no doubt that all this is fate.
But if she thought about it this way, a nightmare-like thought climbed up in her heart and she couldn't get rid of it:
Is it possible that the curse of this ship is really so strong that even the teacher can't get around it? Maybe the teacher has been looking for me a long time ago, but was stopped by the curse of this ship?
It's a kind of fear that after unexpectedly discovering "Damn, when did my phone run out of battery?" and suddenly feeling "Did I miss a call when my phone ran out of battery?" - especially when this call is really, really bad.
It's important, and her cell phone has been out of battery for several years.
If this is the case, this opportunity is not to be missed.
Even though he knew that what he said was very irresponsible - almost equivalent to abandoning his own crew members.
But Celicia didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Our Silver Brigade sails with ‘dream’ as fuel and ‘dream’ as destination.”
Selicia said seriously: "And now, I think... I have touched the edge of my dream. I must go to the Principality of Winter. If this time goes well, my wish will be fulfilled... If this
If it didn't go well this time, I probably wouldn't be able to come back alive.
"If any of you still wants to continue on this 'journey of chasing dreams,' I will transfer the captain's position to him now."
The meaning of her words was very clear.
No matter what, she won't come back.
Then the Silver Troupe, which was united only by her personal charm... should be disbanded.
"——I'll stay. Give me the 'silver'."
Unexpected.
In the silence, the only one who spoke was Ophishi holding the golden harp.
At this moment, all the crew members - even Arthur looked over in surprise.
They all know... among these crew members, only Orpheus is the one who truly falls in love with Selicia.
Arthur's feelings for Selicia are almost like comrades supporting each other, while Euphemia's feeling for Celicia is that of a friend from her fellow countrymen, and Lucia's feeling for the captain is one of trust and dependence.
But Orpheus really abandoned her right to inherit the throne and secretly followed "Silver" out - he really came for Selicia herself.
But now, he chooses to stay on "Silver"?
Orpheus silently fluctuated the harp strings a few times, and the black-haired man with amber eyes looked at Selicia with his gentle eyes.
"I will park the silver underground in the winter. If you end up...I will come to pick you up. When the time comes, I will return the captain to you."
It sounds a little unlucky and a little humble.
But Selicia just looked at him and nodded slowly.
For the first time, a look of unbearability and entanglement appeared in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Ao Feishi. I..."
"I understand."
Ofishi took a deep breath and interrupted her.
There was no sadness in his amber pupils, but instead they were gentle and bright: "If I had such a chance, I would leave too.
“I don’t think ‘So Far So Far’ is a curse, it’s more like a trial. A trial that gives people the courage to give up everything and chase their dreams.
"I don't have that courage now, but I hope I will in the future."
"...Then I will stay with Ao Feishi."
The centaur girl lowered her head and said in a very low voice: "I don't want to meet strangers..."
"I think I'll leave."
Arthur and Euphemia looked at each other and said without hesitation: "I will travel with Your Excellency the Pardoner. Until she confirms her status as the Pope, I will start to establish the Church of Resistance for her."
His meaning is clear.
Even if he can't be the pope, he still has to be a cardinal.
Euphemia quickly understood what he meant and said quickly: "Me too."
"But, I probably won't be returning to Winter recently..."
The Pardoner tilted his head in distress.
At this moment, Longjing Tea suddenly said: "Miss Selicia, if you want to go to the Principality of Winter... you might as well come with us.
"We are the most trusted confidants of Annan Lingdong. The reason why we came to the Principality of Song Song is because the Grand Duke wants to see you."
Although the love and hatred were too complicated to understand, he still understood that Selicia wanted to see Annan.
——It’s really amazing, the main mission has been perfected.
If you just leave it alone, the target of the "arrest" will come to you and ask for arrest?
Is there such a thing as pie falling from the sky?
What is this called?
You are already a mature main quest, it’s time to complete yourself...
