Act Seventy-Eight: The Truth
Even Lawson was a little surprised by Isaac's nonchalant attitude, as if he was not facing a human explorer, but a sophisticated machine.
Moreover, what Isaac said just now is that he should have transformed his body into an alchemy puppet to avoid the rising load, which is even more unimaginable.
It was because he had lost most of his body in the fire of the orphanage that he had undergone a human transformation of the Sanctuary to become an alchemy doll in order to get back on his feet, while Isaac had apparently transformed himself only to be able to walk in the endless abyss more easily.
"Sorry, I'm a little special. ”
Rosen replied, the Wolf Knight's greatsword in his hand once again covered in flames, ready to strike.
"Fina Noelle. ”
Isaac didn't rush to make a move, as if the previous battle had been just a temptation, he mentioned Fina's name and said.
"Do you know why so many people want you?"
"Huh?"
Fina was a little dazed, and the other party suddenly mentioned this, and she couldn't understand what it meant.
"They all said that my father had left me with an important clue, but I didn't know what that clue was. ”
So Fina replied, though no one who walked in the endless abyss would believe such a statement, for if it was true, then Fina was going down the abyss at this time and it was incomprehensible.
It's not a lie, but it's not the truth either. ”
Isaac said slowly, and at this moment, like a gentle scholar, he explained earnestly.
"The truth is that Grimm Noelle did leave something in this world, and that is the key that can unlock the deepest secrets of the Endless Abyss. ”
His unfathomable gaze swept over Rosen and rested on Fina's body.
"The so-called lie, that is, what Grimm Noelle left behind is not a clue, not a riddle or a key, not a map and a secret method, what Grimm Noelle left behind, is you, Fina Noelle. ”
"What...... What do you mean?"
Fina still didn't know, but Rosen had figured out the ins and outs.
"You are the key, Fina Noelle, the key to the treasure of the Endless Abyss, and I was there when your father took you out of the Endless Abyss. ”
Isaac's voice was unsettling, but the facts narrated in it were shocking.
"At that time, you were actually no longer breathing when you were born, and you were able to regain your life by merging with that thing, no, maybe the real Fina Noelle would have died a long time ago, and now you are just a disguise disguised as Fina Noelle. ”
"How could it be ......"
Fina was a little shaken, she originally thought that she was just like the other children of the abyss, born in the endless abyss, and went through hardships to return to the surface and grow up, but now it seems that whether what Isaac said is the truth or not, Fina's life story is not so simple.
Rosen did not intervene to block Isaac's speech, because he believed that what Isaac said now was likely to be the key to solving the problem next.
"Green Noelle didn't let me test it, after all, he also found that thing, and the ownership belongs to him in theory, so I naturally don't want to interfere, but right now, I'm very interested in your body. ”
Isaac said, as if Fina wasn't a human being, but a guinea pig for experiments.
"Besides, the guys on the ground have also given me some conditions, although they are all small benefits for me, but it is a good deal for the city, not to mention, I would also like to visit the seventh floor again. ”
"Have you ever reached the seventh floor?"
Rosen asked, there are not a few people who have entered the seventh layer of the Endless Abyss, but there are very few people who can come back alive, because the vast majority of people will be attacked by monsters in the deep and unknowable seventh layer and die, the other part will fall due to the strong rising load in the process of returning, and some people will stay in the seventh layer forever for the rest of their lives.
"Just a cursory glance, I don't rush down without preparation, I just watched Glynn Noelle enter the seventh floor, and watched him bring that mass of stuff up from the seventh floor, that's all. ”
Isaac was quite patient and told Rosen about this without reservation.
"I don't know what Green Noelle saw and gained on the seventh floor. ”
He said, looking at Fina, who was in a messy state.
"Fina Noelle, your life is given by the Endless Abyss, and at the same time, you will eventually return to the Endless Abyss, which is your destiny. ”
"My Destiny ......"
Fina muttered to herself, everything in the past was flowing before her eyes, everything her father said to herself was repeated in her mind, and Fina was a little abrupt at this time, it turned out that everything her father had been doing was to make herself safe when she returned to the endless abyss.
"Did my father always ......?"
"That's right, your birth is meaningless, your life is all hypocrisy, you are just a pawn in fate, no need to struggle, no need to cling. ”
Isaac said, seemingly trying to convince Fina to abandon the rest of her journey.
"So, Fina Noelle, hand over that thing from your body, I don't want to add to the casualties that don't matter. ”
"I ......"
Fina was confused, and the shocking facts confused her, and even Irandall, who was standing on the sidelines, could feel the uneasiness of the girl beside her.
Edlandall gently took Fina's hand, trying to calm the girl down.
Fina looked at Irandall a little bewildered, she was now like she had been denied for the past ten years of her life, she couldn't see the future, and she couldn't look directly at the past.
"The children of the abyss will return to the abyss, this is a sign of fate. ”
Isaac held out his hand.
But Rosen's sword was in the middle.
"Her fate should be decided by herself, even if everything you say is true, so what?"
Rosen said that he would not follow the so-called guidance of fate like Isaac, and that if he did, he would have burned himself long ago.
"What I know is neither a key nor a child of the abyss, but Fina Noelle, a girl who dreams of the unknown, nothing more. ”
Rosen knew that the truth in Isaac's mouth should be partially different from the truth, but there was no time for explanation, only to see whose fist was stronger.
