Chapter Seventy-Nine: Crossing Time
The entire letter was a little smaller than the standard size, as if it were one size smaller along with the owner who used it. The dark brown envelope www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was covered with dust, but the wax was intact.
Not to mention someone opening the envelope, this was the first time since Igna's death that a living person had entered.
Judging from the position of the envelope, it is believed that Igna was originally holding it on his right hand, but the Hidden Blade, which had not been removed over the years, crushed the right hand of the skeleton and brought the envelope to the ground with him.
The Elders of the League of Assassins also noticed the envelope on the ground along Karil's woodpole.
Karil ignored them, looked at the envelope for a moment, and then sobbed softly and bent down to pick up the envelope, patted off the dust, and turned over the front of the envelope.
A smooth and graceful handwriting with a beautiful line of floral characters written on the front of the envelope.
"To Natalia. Vita, and the current elders of the Assassin Guild. ”
Kahlil secretly wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said to the group of people behind her, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
Prejudice and Dust consciously took a step back in both directions, out of the way for Karil to walk through, and watched as Carlil stepped up the stairs up the ladder and everyone followed along.
The things in the ground won't run away, so there's nothing to lose by leaving it there for now, so let's take a look at Igna. What was written in the envelope that Merjie had left behind was the most pressing thing on everyone's mind.
Suicide note...... Or something else.
Compared with the inexplicable exploration when he came down, the depth was much clearer when he climbed up and up, and everyone with their own hearts had no time to care about the depth of the stairs, and Kahlil slowly walked down the road to adjust her mood several times before finally climbing this section of the stairs.
In just ten minutes, when I returned to the library again, it was like coming back from another world, and the state of the whole person changed dramatically.
Finding a chair in the open space in the center and sitting down, Kahlil looked at the envelope in her hand in a daze, a group of elders had already gathered around her silently, and it was difficult to urge Karil, so she had to wait for Karil for a while.
"Ahem...... We are pressed for time...... "Qing Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, standing in Kayl Crimson coughed vigorously and said slowly.
Only then did Karil pull herself back from her memory, her pupils gradually refocusing, and she flipped over the envelope and landed on the bright red wax seal at the opening. Then gently, with the fingernail of the little finger of your right hand, you can pick the sealing wax off it. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly unfolded the envelope.
The brightness of the library was much brighter than below, allowing people to see the layers and lines of the pulp on the envelopes, and Carlil's fingers brushed lightly over it, and finally reached in and took out the letters with two fingers.
Two pieces of white paper, folded in half twice, were stuffed into it, and the fold was already carved into the paper, as if the force of turning it over was a little greater and it would be neatly cut along the fold, so that Karil carefully unfolded it and spread it out in her hand.
There were two contents, neither of which filled the letter, not like a continuous content, and Carlil glanced at it a few times, pressed one of them underneath for the time being, and showed the other one first, moving it a little away from herself, so that the circle of people next to her could also see it clearly.
"It's very conflicting whether to leave this letter, when I sorted everything out and prepared to return to death quietly, the god of death may have a little mercy in his heart, let my heart beat here for a while, so I still chose to write this"
Kahlil read softly, maybe it was the relationship she had just cried, and her voice was a little hoarse at this time, and she couldn't hear the sound at all when her voice was lowered all of a sudden, and Caryl, who was aware of this herself, also consciously gave up the idea of reading it after this paragraph.
"If the Assassins' Guild is still under the management and development of the Internal Council of Elders, then the contents of this letter are considered valid, and if the Assassins' Guild has developed better by the time of reading this letter, then it is okay not to read this piece of paper."
It was as if Kahlil could see Igna's expression as he saw the last of these words.
"All property left behind by the Assassins Guild is considered to be the public property of the Guild, and is located outside the underground library and all books in its collection, and the Presbyterian Council has the right to use or destroy all property."
"The underground headquarters building is considered the common property of the Presbyterian Church, but when it is necessary to abandon it in order to obtain a better place to live, the traces must be strictly destroyed and filled in as much as possible.
"The books, equipment, and other materials in the underground vault are my last contribution to the Assassins' Guild, and I have not left it directly to you for my consideration, if there is any inconvenience caused...... I can't help it, right? ”
Karil snorted suddenly.
This guy is still not as serious as he was many years ago, it is rare to look serious for a while, and in the blink of an eye, he immediately relaxes again.
"There is not much property, if there is any omission, dispose of it at will"
The letter changed its line here, and Igna wrote whatever he thought of, as if he had no plan, and he didn't have any score at all.
"Secondly, at the beginning of the establishment of the Assassin Guild, the primary goal was to help me complete some tasks that must be completed, after that, the Assassin Guild turned into a mercenary and protective Assassin organization, providing a joint for the Assassins, and providing a platform for communication and research, absolutely not killing civilians indiscriminately, and trying to minimize the accidental injury of innocent people, I have no strict requirements for this, you have helped me a lot, and the future development of the union depends on you."
There was a long pause in the note, and after a few dots of ink on the paper that had been formed by the quill tips on the paper, and after a few more lines were written and crossed, Igna finally wrote:
"I'm sorry, maybe I'm not suitable to write something like this, maybe there's nothing missing, maybe it's the Grim Reaper who has made my thinking no longer flexible, so that's all for this final message."
"Thank you for your help, I have nothing else to ask for in this life"
"Silvery Shadow. Igna. Meijie"
The first one ends here, and the letter itself is not large, and the few strokes on it do not have much content, which may only be regarded as the last bit of consolation left for posterity.
Coolel silently folded the letter and handed the first one to the trick, letting the trick accept it, and spread out the second chapter herself.
This one...... It seems to be the main content of the letter, what Igna left behind and wanted to say to her.
Looking at this piece of paper, Karil wanted to smile a little, just like she had smiled at Igna before, but after several efforts, she couldn't laugh after all.
"To Natalia. Vita"
"Sister, I know you'll find it, but I'm afraid I can't wait for the day when you come back, I finally completed my mission, don't worry, I'm fine now, and even said, probably never been so easy."
"Maybe this is a precursor to leaving this world, you're right, I've overdrawn my potential, and if I don't do this, I won't be able to accomplish my life's goal, and I won't get this last ease, so don't worry, I'm fine, really."
"It's hard to find here, I'm afraid few people can find it except you, eh, I don't know if the molecular formula is right in the end, this thing is too strange."
"What are you busy with now? Have you met new friends again?,I really want to see it again.,The friends my sister makes.,There are a lot of interesting people every time.,It seems that you can always gather all kinds of the most interesting guys in the world.,And you can connect these people together.,Maybe this is the most powerful place for my sister besides alchemy."
"Hmm...... If I want to say regrets, I haven't been able to contact my sister after I finished what I need to do, and it's a pity that I didn't see the last one, really, I miss the time when we used to sit at the desk together and hand me all kinds of things, and it's a pity that I couldn't talk to my sister for the last time until late at night."
"But,If my sister can read this letter in the future,This last regret can also be filled.,Even if the time of the conversation may be measured in years.,But the exchange and the heart are still reached.,I don't know what I'll be like when my sister sees me again in the future.,I hope it's not too embarrassing.,Haha"
"It's almost time, and the message to my sister is really much better than the suicide note, and I always feel like there are still a lot of things I haven't finished, but unfortunately it's too late, death has embraced me into my arms, and the feeling of exhaustion is extremely strong, I'm afraid I can't wait for the dawn again this time."
"By the way, the fangs will be left to my sister, although I may not need a Hidden Blade, but this is my proud work, it can be regarded as a souvenir, I hope it can bring my sister good luck as it brought me."
"The last thing, a little gift, is written on the back of the suicide note, sorry, the front has been signed before I remember, I always feel that it is not good to add it under the payment, so I have to write it on the back."
"Well, then goodbye Sister Natalia, if it's true that there is an afterlife as my sister said, let me take care of my sister"
"Igna. Meijie"
"At the Last Dawn"
The last part of the letter was a little wrinkled, left by the liquid soaked and then dried, in the middle of the letter, a few speckled drops, probably long dried teardrops.
Kahlil slowly raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Turn the letter over and look at the back, what is written." ”
The last thing Igna said was a little gift......
A sentence was written on the back of the letter.
"If the Assassins' Guild is still under the control of the Presbyterian Council, with my consent, Natalia . . . Weta is a working elder and has the right to skip the certification step and will be effective immediately when this letter is opened. (To be continued.) )
