Chapter 3271 The Trial of the Great Fool (Seventy-four)
At 0:20 in the morning, in the cemetery on the outskirts of Edinburgh, a figure gradually approached.
Before that figure approached a certain tombstone, another person had already been waiting in front of the tomb.
"Sa, Brother Saab?" Melissa looked at Saab who suddenly appeared there and said in surprise: "Why do you know this place?"
"I asked Uncle Petrus to help with the investigation." The gray bunny young man left the tree trunk he was leaning on and slowly approached the blonde girl: "I had doubts before. And when you tell the truth, tell me
When you were the Songstress of the Deep Sea, I had basically guessed your intentions. So I waited here, in front of your mother's grave."
"I really can't hide anything from Brother Saab..." Melissa looked at the tombstone thoughtfully: "Yes. This is the place where my mother is buried. Before marrying to Iceland, my mother was from Great Britain. She died
After that, we buried her in her hometown, the city where she was born."
It was a tombstone that had been in disrepair for a long time and was so weathered that the inscription was almost invisible. But because she was so familiar with the owner of this tomb, she could still easily identify her name from the broken inscription.
[Lisa Valentino of Edinburgh sleeps here. May she sing loudly in heaven forever.] - This should be the full text of the inscription.
And this Lisa Valentino is the previous [Diva of the Deep Melissa].
The mother of the blond girl Melissa in front of Sabo.
"Is there anything you want to explain to me?" Sabo asked.
"Okay," the girl sighed: "After this series of events, Brother Sabo has the right to know the truth."
The gray rabbit young man stood quietly.
"Where should I start..."
Melissa tried to sort out the language.
"Let's start from the very beginning. About [Diva of the Deep Sea].
Brother Sabo should also know. My mother is the previous [Songstress of the Deep Sea Melissa].
The most basic mission of [Diva] is to appease the sea monsters of the abyss, so that those monsters will not easily land and cause damage to the town. But in addition, [Diva] also has another mission, which is to keep the transplant at all times
The activity of the nanoscale micro-golems in their bodies.
The so-called maintenance of activity is actually to make the golems work through singing. Because if they do not work for a long time, the activity of the micro golems will decrease, and they will not be able to be effective immediately when they are really needed. If you wait until the abyssal sea monster attacks,
It only took a few days to revive the golem, and it was already too late.
So [The Songstress of the Deep Sea] will be like now - touring around the world, using her singing to prevent the sea beasts of the abyss from landing, and at the same time singing constantly to maintain the activity of the miniature golems in her body. Before I took office, my mother had always done this
. She has the sweetest singing voice in the world, and she can enchant all living beings just by singing. Even those violent abyssal sea beasts will be impressed by her singing and return to the deep sea honestly.
However, the good times did not last long. In fact, the mother's physique was not fully adapted to the transplanted miniature golem. Just transplanted into her body, the golem's erosion of her body would increase day by day.
Gradually, she lost her hearing. This is fatal for a singer. Even though she maintained her singing skills and continued to work hard to train herself, she still sang tone-deaf without hearing.
The world does not understand her suffering. The world only knows that [Melissa, the Songstress of the Deep] began to go out of tune, her singing became worse and worse, and she had lost her former talent. Slowly, her supporters and followers became fewer and fewer.
, in the end almost no one wanted to listen to her singing.
However, my mother did not give up. She sang day after day, year after year. Even if it was out of tune, and even if she was made a laughing stock by people, she still did not stop.
What she loved most in her life was singing. Even though she lost her hearing and her throat became hoarse, she still sang with her life until the last moment of her life.
My mother never betrayed her ideals until her death, even though her ideals had long faded and were so insignificant in the eyes of the world."
Melissa paused and carefully wiped the tombstone with a clean wet cloth.
"...Today is your mother's death anniversary, right?" Sabo asked in a low voice.
"...Mr. Petrus told you?"
"I guessed it." The gray rabbit young man replied: "Because you insisted on staying in my house and hiding for a week before leaving. I was wondering if this week has any special meaning."
"Yes. It is true." The blonde girl sighed: "Ever since I became the new [Diva of the Deep Sea], the whole world has been revolving around me. Those journalists, those media, they will not let go
There was no chance of harassing me. I took advantage of the convenience of touring in Great Britain and sneaked out. I just didn’t want the media to know the connection between me and this city. Otherwise, they would definitely find this place. Then
Speaking nonsense in front of my mother's grave, disturbing the peace of the deceased.
I just want to worship my mother quietly on her death anniversary. In order to achieve this goal, [Melissa, the Songstress of the Deep Sea] must disappear for a week. This is why I asked you for help."
Melissa turned her head and looked at Sabo head on.
"I'm sorry, Brother Sabo. I didn't expect that my momentary willfulness would bring such huge trouble to you and this city." The girl lamented: "Please accept my heartfelt apology... and thank you."
"In fact, it was me who was saved." Rabbit said, "My mother's death was a big blow to me. I couldn't bear the feeling of emptiness in my home. Just when I was about to go crazy, you appeared."
I didn't even think twice about taking you home, just because you said you needed help. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive this difficult time."
"Brother Saab..."
"No matter what the process was, in the end, you still saved me. You also achieved your goal and can worship your mother without being harassed." Sabo shrugged: "This is probably how people help each other.
That's it. So you don't need to feel that you owe me something. We are just each other. If you still care about who helps who more, it will be endless."
"You may be right." The girl smiled bitterly.
"But I have a question. Why was the timing of the sea monster's landing so precise, and it happened specifically yesterday? Could it be...that you had planned it? To...take revenge on this city?"
"I don't."
"……real?"
She was silent for a moment.
"I won't be angry. I just want to know the facts." Sabo whispered.
"Okay." The girl sighed again: "When my mother passed away, I originally planned to bury her in Edinburgh, her hometown. However, the administrator of this city rejected my request. The reason is... just now
She died not long ago, and her body will bring disaster."
"Causing...disaster?"
"It's the same as what happened today. The nano-scale micro-golems in our [Diva of the Deep Sea] bodies can both inhibit and attract the sea beasts of the abyss. That was originally used by the Sea Royal Family to control the abyss.
A human implant device for sea beasts. As long as there is this device in the body, the army of sea beasts from the abyss will continue to follow. It is like...a walking command tower.
Of course, the Sea Royal Family is now extinct. Due to their bloodline, the previous [Diva of the Deep Sea] can only activate the [Soothing] ability to make the sea beasts stop attacking. They, including me, cannot control those sea beasts and do whatever they want.
launch an attack."
"But they will still follow you all the way..." Sabo touched his chin: "And not long after your mother passed away, the miniature golems in the body were still active and could attract the abyssal sea monsters. This place in Edinburgh
The city managers are afraid of that..."
"Yes. If my mother is buried here immediately, it is equivalent to burying a transmitter in this city, attracting abyssal sea beasts to attack the city at any time. That is indeed a very dangerous thing." Melissa revealed
With a bitter expression: "In order to avoid any possible danger, they did not agree to let my mother be buried in Edinburgh under any circumstances... Then the matter was delayed for three years until the micro-golem in my mother's body was completely confirmed.
Until the activity completely subsides."
"Does it take three years for the activity to disappear?"
"No, it was supposed to only take three months. Various testing procedures and confirmation procedures delayed the matter for a full three years. Damn bureaucracy."
"Ah..." Sabo showed a helpless expression.
It was impossible for Melissa to not feel regret when things turned out like this. But Sabo couldn't imagine that the Melissa he knew would bring danger to the city because of this level of resentment.
All of this is indeed just accidental and force majeure.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Since my identity has been exposed, of course I will go back with the army of the Kingdom of Iceland and continue to do my job." Melissa smiled bitterly.
"I will miss you." Rabbit scratched his head: "Speaking of that prince... who is he to you?"
"It's nothing." The girl smiled: "Although he has always wanted to pursue me, I have not agreed. And Prince Tristan has another engagement. In the end, he will give up on me because of his status as a prince."
"I'm not asking about status and engagement. I'm asking about your thoughts." Sabo whispered, "Are you interested in... the prince?"
"He's a good guy, but he's not my type," Melissa replied.
(What about me?) Sabo wanted to ask. But in the end he failed to ask and just remained silent.
"Anyway... I wish you good luck." He said: "I hope you will be relieved of this heavy responsibility one day and gain your freedom."
"That day will come," the girl smiled bitterly: "The duty of [Diva of the Deep Sea] will only last until the day I can still sing. If one day I lose my voice, this duty will come to an end."
This statement is almost as if she will lose her voice one day due to singing for a long time.
"If one day I lose my voice, my honor as [Diva of the Deep Sea], and even be cast aside by the world... will Brother Sabo still like me at that time?" she asked in a low voice.
"Hmm..." The gray rabbit young man scratched his head awkwardly: "You can come to me again then. You can stay in my house for as long as you want."
"Brother Sabo, you idiot." Melissa chuckled angrily.
At this time, a group of people were approaching quietly in the distance. A group of people wearing the military uniforms of the Kingdom of Iceland. It was Prince Tristan and his subordinates who came to pick up Melissa.
"It seems it's time for me to leave." The blond girl said with a hint of regret: "Goodbye (Kama), brother Sabo."
"Well, see you later." The bunny boy watched the blond singer leave the cemetery until the group of people completely disappeared from his sight.
He knelt down weakly, feeling as regretful as he had been before. But he knew that no matter what he did, he could not save Melissa, because he and she were originally from two different worlds.
... There is no room for extravagant thoughts. The only reason to blame is that he is a person of humble status. Even when his mother left, he had never cursed his origin like this. But now, he couldn't help but curse it.
His tears fell silently, moistening the marble floor of the cemetery.
