Chapter 1260: The Same Kind
He had revealed the existence of White Rock and the Whisperers to his friends, but he hadn't even told Filly about Felicity's true secrets - he didn't care about Felicity's "anomaly" and the fact that he had two souls, but not everyone could be like him...... Not all of them are like Sean, who has a deep-rooted adoration for Felicity that will not waver no matter what.
They saw the real Felicity in a different way, and not just in her name as a Sage.
"Good boy. The crow praised him almost lovingly, and even seemed to want to touch his head.
Ed's scalp tingled, and he cowered back imperceptibly—he would rather be called "the little one"! he had indeed sympathized with the crow's unrequited enthusiasm for Isna...... But he didn't want the same enthusiasm!
"So, you've been to White Rock Island too?" he continued to probe with a stiff face, "You already know her?"
"Or else?" said the white crow running her fingers around her hair in boredom—many of her movements still had a natural, girlish innocence, and there was no hint of pretense of stiffness...... Or maybe it's been pretending to be too long, and it's been carved into the bone marrow.
“...... But Felicity should not have been born when she left Whitestone. Ed was still skeptical.
"Really...... Thank you for remembering this!" Raven pressed his chest exaggeratedly, sarcastically, "I'm much younger than her!, but she's ...... Especially, even though she has been gone for a long time, there is still a legend about her on that island. ”
Probably realizing that Ed would not let her go easily, she changed her position to make herself more comfortable, and chatted lazily, "I was really surprised when I first heard that the white-haired and blue-eyed 'Sage' was also an alien like me. You should know that that place is almost a 'holy place' for people like us...... But neither she nor I could have trapped ourselves on such a small island—no matter how beautiful the guide was. ”
Although with undisguised disdain, her eyes gradually drifted away, and she was not without nostalgia for those times that had passed:
"When we actually met, it was at the Archmage Tower. I used another face to hide from everyone, but she saw through it at a glance......"
.
For thousands of years, the whisperers of White Rock Island have come and gone, most of whom have spent their lives on that peaceful island, but many have chosen to leave.
The Sachses didn't stop anyone from leaving. Some of them, like Rey, will go about their lives by hiding in the crowd as ordinary people - and when they learn to control their powers, it won't be difficult. Others are like crows, using their power beyond ordinary people to get a better life, a higher status, or more for themselves...... Nor will the Sachses stop them, whether they do good or evil.
But there is one thing that all who leave will follow - everything they learn on White Rock will remain on White Rock when they leave. The secrets shared by the whisperers are not revealed to people outside of their own kind, and even if they are enemies of each other because they have taken different paths, they will not use revealing each other's identities as a means of attack.
They have been rejected by the whole world, and none of them want to lose their last foothold.
So the white crow didn't tell anyone that the sage of the water god was actually an alien with "demonic blood", and Felicity didn't tell the archmage tower, the gray-robed Candian shell who had taken his place in the east tower in a grand way, was a bold and unscrupulous whisperer.
That's probably because the real grey-robed Candian, though he died at the hands of the Raven, deserved it—he tried to use the Raven as his test subject, a specimen of the "magical creature" he had so hard to pursue, rather than a living person. He approached the disciple of the white crow for this purpose, but was killed by the master and apprentice who were originally deliberately luring him, and died silently. Then, in order to take advantage of the resources of the Archmage Tower, the White Crow entered the East Tower in a grand manner as Candian, and Abner Rhine soon "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" and became a disciple of "Candian".
After determining the truth of the incident, Felicity did not do anything to the crow, only told her before leaving the Archmage Tower, "Enough is enough".
"It's her ability to make threats look like she's really good for me, and to be able to make me listen to them. Raven sighed, "I used to think that if the two of us joined forces, the whole world would be under our control...... Guess what she said?"
“...... It's too much trouble. Ed replied.
The white crow laughed loudly.
"Pretty much. "When I think about it later, it seems right...... So when I lost interest in the Archmage Tower, I simply 'disappeared' - no one would come looking for a snarky, selfish, and ugly old man anyway. ”
She touched her face, as if remembering the days when she had an ugly face, and her brows furrowed.
"So Abner Rhein has always been your disciple?" Ed took a breath, remembering the time the White Raven pretended to be Inglis...... It took a while for Isis to find out.
What they wanted to know was the origin of Abner Rhine, the necromancer who "resurrected" a dragon. They got the answers they wanted, but they didn't think that there was another story hidden in them.
"Is he also a whisperer?" said Ed, who suddenly thought of a more serious question, "Rhine...... Is he really a necromancer?"
"What do you think?" asked the crow slyly.
Ed was silent for a long time.
He thought of the ordinary-looking middle-aged man—too ordinary for him to remember, but the deep lines on the mage's lips, the snarky and tired expression, made him stand out to him.
"I think he's more like you, Ed. The mage propped her elbows on her knees, leaned over him with her chin propped up, her low voice was graceful and charming, but her words were like a thunderbolt, "He is clearly not a whisperer, but he can cast spells like a whisperer...... He can turn the power of this world into his own, and he knows the skills of mages. Give him more time, and he might be able to create life like God...... You too, right?"
Ed was horrified.
"Let me guess. Raven slowly cocked up his fingers, "You can probably easily use the so-called 'necromancy', after all, life and death are like light and darkness, they are originally one. So, guess ......"
She looked at Ed and smiled meaningfully, "What about Felicity?"
