Chapter 622: Those Pasts
The inn in Cesaro, though the best in the area, was in much worse condition than in Messina, and Charles was able to warm a large glass of honey water with his own reserves.
While Charles was preparing the hot drink, Ida lay quietly on the bed like a rice dumpling.
After warming the honey water, Charles helped Ida re-wrap the quilt so that her hands were free.
Charles shoved a glass of steaming honey water into Ada's hand and asked, "Can you tell me what the hell is going on?"
Ida held the warm cup in both hands, quietly looked at the faint water vapor at the mouth of the cup, and said softly after a long time, "I'm tired." ”
Then she raised her glass and took a sip of honey water, but her face became more and more pale, and her body trembled slightly.
She continued, "The method of obtaining artifact abilities through us is not some unknown secret, and those families with a long tradition know it. ”
Charles, who was sitting next to her, reached out and patted her hand gently, and found that her hand was shaking more and more, and there was even a ripple in the honey water in the cup.
There was a sad speculation in Charles's mind that there was no limit to the greed that could be born in order to gain power.
As Ida said, she was also a girl, and what would those people do to girls for the sake of the power of the Book of Wisdom...... Charles didn't dare to think about it.
Ida raised her glass and took two sips of honey water in an attempt to calm her mind, but was unsuccessful.
Charles sighed in his heart, then took Ada's trembling and cold hand, and said, "I can't do anything past or future, if you want, I can help you live the life you want to live in my lifetime, even if you eat and sleep in my territory, sleep and eat enough." ”
Ada's body stiffened, she didn't let go of Charles's hand, but looked at Charles with a sad face, and said: "Don't say those rhetoric anymore, just say your conditions, is it to be your lover, or to be your secret blade, or to offer you a happy enjoyment on a single day, and bring you the head of the enemy on the double day?"
Charles shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, I just can help ...... if I can"
Ida sneered twice and said, "I've heard too many similar words, and someone once promised me that he would be crowned queen when he became king, who would have thought that he would ...... later?"
Ada said that she seemed to remember something extremely terrifying, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Charles took Ida over and hugged her in his arms, patted her stiff back gently, and said softly: "If you don't want to think about the past, don't think about it again." ”
Ida didn't react to Charles's movements, and she continued, "If Flicka and Freya hadn't arrived in time that day, the power of the Wisdom Tome would have been divided between them......"
"And him, he told me at first that he just wanted to live in seclusion with me, but the war was over, and there was chaos everywhere, and he gave me flattery in order to gain my power to rule the continent, and as a result, I changed my wine glass, and he drank himself to death......"
"Honey-like lies, dark captivity, ubiquitous ......"
"You can't imagine what I've been through with Flica and Freya. ”
"Among our sisters, they represent the power of the elements, and only the three of us represent the power of the laws. ”
"Flicka deliberately asked the user to change into a woman's clothes, which was to keep the man away from her. ”
Freya eats and drinks a lot every day, just to make those people think that if they invite her to eat enough, they will achieve the so-called favorability. ”
"I ......"
Ida didn't say any more, she paused, and suddenly hugged Charles and howled.
Charles gently patted Ada's back, not knowing how to comfort her.
Humans can easily grasp the "Elemental Power", but the "Law Power" is different, and in order to master it, diligence and talent are indispensable.
In terms of use, the power of the law is much higher than the power of the elements, and the ability of the Demon Breaking Sword is enough to turn other elemental artifacts into butter tea.
The function of the Wanfa Scepter Charles only learned a little about it, and without Flicka's help, Diana had studied it for so long and hadn't heard her say what she had achieved.
Although the Wisdom Book is in front of him, it is not suitable for Charles to explore it now.
Charles could deduce from the forbidden tornado alone that one of the functions of the Wisdom Book was to increase the output power of the energy.
There is a limit to the output of mana and divine power, just like a hundred points of mana can only be used for ten points at a time, unless you want to burn your soul and die with the enemy, and the Book of Wisdom allows you to use up that hundred points at a time without burning your soul, and there are no side effects.
A figurative example is the fire delivery of rocket artillery compared to that of a barrel artillery.
It's no wonder that those people will stop at nothing to get Ada's abilities.
As for why he could get the artifact's ability through friendship, Charles got a clue from the information Reimu left him.
The soul of this world is too strange for Charles, it is a source of power, and it has all kinds of strange properties.
The "union of flesh and spirit" is real in this world, and two souls will have a mutual impact when they are extremely happy, and they will resonate when the conditions are right, and then there will be a trace of connection depending on the degree, the most obvious is that there will sometimes be a "heart and soul with a little understanding" between lovers, and the number of this connection will deepen.
The "bandwidth" of the soul connection between Harry Potter and Voldemort who can "watch movies" with each other is too high, and the old husbands and wives in the elves are barely there, and there are only a few dragons who live longer.
Unlike the innate "heart and soul" between relatives due to the inheritance of the soul, this phenomenon between lovers is acquired, and it can also be controlled and manufactured.
In the same way, factors such as friendship can also cause soul-to-soul resonance and connection, but this is rare.
The soul of a person grows when he grows, and the soul of an underage intelligent creature is also fragile, just like a sprout that has just sprouted, and only when it is an adult will it grow a woody part and become strong.
Therefore, families that are strict with their offspring forbid young people to have sex before the age of sixteen, in order to prevent the fragile soul of the young man from being irreversibly damaged by the excessive impact.
Charles therefore speculated that the soul of the artifact spirit was related to the ability of the artifact, so it was possible to establish a soul connection through the method of communion, and then obtain the ability of the artifact.
Thinking of this, Charles sighed in his heart, this kind of law of pit people obviously made Ida and them suffer a lot.
Ida was crying because she thought of her sad past, and Charles just hugged her quietly, trying to comfort her like a child.
Suddenly, as if the levee finally burst under the impact of the flood, Ada's crying became louder, and the emotions she expressed became more grief, and the strength of her hands holding Charles gradually increased.
Charles felt like he was entangled in a python and almost couldn't breathe, and at the same time, he noticed that Ada's originally stiff body gradually softened.
In the second half of the night, Ida was probably tired of crying, and she fell asleep in Charles's arms.
Charles gently put her on the bed, and the night was already quite cold, and Charles took out a spare quilt from the storage ring to help her cover it.
Seeing the tears on Ada's face, Charles shook his head, took out a towel moistened with warm water and gently wiped her face.
The next morning, Charles, who had woken up, sat up from the bunk and stretched.
He turned his head to find that Ada's shadow was missing from the bed, as was the broom and her body that had been placed next to the bed.
The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a note on the quilt that read in Juanxiu font: "I will definitely come back." ”
