59. Crying, parting, and new beginnings
When Mr. Seamus opened his eyes hesitantly, the first thing he noticed was that he was still tied, and he was tied to death, and he couldn't move, and his whole body hurt, which made Mr. Seamus almost cry out with joy.
Please don't get me wrong, it's not that Mr. Seamus has awakened any special physique, it's that he found that his body is still original.
"What's going on?" / "Tabasa, what's going on? ”
Just as Seamus was wondering, he heard Louise's questioning, and then, looking up at the voice, he saw something unbelievable: Shesta, Ilukuku, and Tabassa had each restrained Tifania, Anrietta, and Louise with their own magic, and looked at them playfully.
"Ahh Ahh???h ”
Infighting???
Such a situation, such a scene, Mr. Seamus is completely incomprehensible, and the spoils are unevenly distributed? Lower gram up? Upper? Six people are too many, it's better to divide three people?
[If at this time, shouting that you are all my wings and mediating their conflicts, will I escape afterwards? Although Mr. Seamus is not handsome, he has always thought of beauty.
However, before Mr. Seamus could speak, Ann Rietta was the first to notice the anomaly: "No! Lois! She's not Tabasa! ”
After being reminded by Ann Rietta, Louise, who was still immersed in the pain of betrayal just now, discovered the abnormality: how could Shesta, who could not do magic, use the elemental cage? The Ilukuku who is the dragon actually uses a wand to cast a spell? In the end, how is it possible that Tabasa, who has always had a paralyzed face, would look at himself with a playful expression?
"Who the hell are you? What about them? Louise looked at the disguise posing as Tabasa with a look of resentment.
"Don't worry, anyway, the 'ex' girlfriends of my students are also my students, and we won't be heavy-handed."
After saying that, the pseudo-object raised the index finger of his left hand and cut a gap in the air, and then, Tabasa and the others, who were tied to another dimension, were exposed.
Louise breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that they were safe, but in a blink of an eye, she stared at the three pseudo-objects with a more ferocious gaze: "What are you doing with your head and tail so far?" Do you like pretending to be girls so much? Hum! Sure enough, it's a pervert! ”
The trio of disguises, looking at each other, nodded to each other, and then removed their disguises.
Seamus, who was watching from the sidelines, was the first to call out: "Professor? ”
What appeared in front of him was the smiling face of the ever-sunny Professor Verne, a white-bearded old man with a temperament similar to that of Headmaster Dumbledore, and a bald head that looked familiar.
"Hmph, it's you."
In fact, by this time, Louise had almost figured out their methods, first subduing the non-magical Shesta, and then ambushing Tabassa and Ilukuku, who had come to pick up Shesta, and then swaggering to pretend to be in front of her.
But there is one thing that Louise can't understand, she didn't notice Verne before, and even used the actions of Osman and Gruberu (Quirinus) to spell Verne, immersing him in the dream of cracking the ancient magic text, and sent Shesta to quietly spy on the other party.
So at this time, Verne should still be trapped in his room by illusion, but not only did he appear here, but he also unwittingly unraveled the magic he had put on Gruberu and Osman.
"When the hell?" Louise asked reluctantly.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, to put it simply, Principal Osman has been trying to break free from you for a long time, but he's always disguised himself well." Verne leisurely explained, anyway, now that the big picture is decided.
And in order to find out the whereabouts of the Holy See in the future, I have to ask her, so Verne doesn't mind being kind to Louise, anyway, with Seamus, the kid is there, and the buffer between the two sides is very large, and no matter what Louise wants to do, judging from the current result, she is only an attempt.
Professor Verne continued: "Ostensibly, he complied with your instructions and asked me to translate the literature for Torlistine, and asked Querrey to give me the literature that had been tricked by illusion.
But you didn't notice that Principal Osman was haggling with me as a hint to me. ”
"Hint?" Louise was puzzled.
"Yes, the most famous political events before the tail of Sylvester II, and the three documents about Marcia that were deliberately sent by Miss Secretary. All point to a truth - "Pornocracy".
Several women of the Roman nobility gained power by becoming mistresses of the Pope, and their sons, as well as their sons' sons, were made popes, and they became the masters behind the real power.
Pretty much like it, isn't it? ”
"Hmph, we are different from that group of Biki, we rely on our own strength!" Angela retorted.
"Either way, at least Osman brought the anomaly to my attention."
Verne casually flipped through a book and appeared in his hand: "So when he asked Quirinus to give me the Book of Memory, with the previous hints and reminders, I quickly noticed some anomalies in Querinus. Therefore, before the illusion that Quirinus had cast on me was completed, I had cracked the accusation you had against him. ”
"And then, you untied Osman's shackles, easily controlled the unmagical Shesta, and then asked her to provide me with false surveillance records every day, right?" At this point, Louise basically understood, so she followed Verne's words and added.
"Yes, that's right, that's it." Osman nodded.
But this made Louise a little incredulous, she couldn't understand it, so she asked, "Why?" Osman. Why are you rebelling against us? ”
Osman replied calmly and tiredly, "In order to end this cycle of more than 40,000 years." ”
"Why? You should understand by your strength! If it weren't for us, if there was no reincarnation, how could you stay here for a long time, you would have been assimilated by the origin of life and death! Why betray me! ”
Louise's hoarse roar made Verne frown a little, he thought that Louise's reincarnation was just for the soul of a talented person to appear, but he didn't expect that there was another reason - to prevent Torlistine's people from being assimilated by the origin of life and death.
This made Verne even more convinced that although they claimed to be witches who manipulated humans and violently interfered with the will of others, they were not really heinous, but they had gone a little astray.
Don't you understand what it means to do that? And you see, reincarnation is not useless! He's back! ”
And here Louise was still hoarsely questioning Osman, she couldn't believe that the headmaster grandfather, who had loved and cared for her the most, would one day part ways with her and his students.
"Yes, reincarnation did work, not only successfully preventing us from being assimilated, but also really bringing him back. But what about after that? In order not to completely fall into the side of death, will you end the reincarnation because he returns? ”
Osman's rhetorical question made Louise and the others speechless, and seeing the girls bowing their heads and being silent, Osman had to sigh deeply: "Child, I am so tired, at the end of that war, I expected that my time was short, although I only kept repeating it, but it was you who kept me here for countless years.
But that's enough, that's enough, let's choose for ourselves whether we want to stay or start a new journey. There may be people who want to continue living here, but I believe that there are many people who want to leave and rest completely, just like me.
Let's decide for ourselves, you've worked hard for so many years. ”
"Grandpa Headmaster!"
Louise finally couldn't hold back her tears, she didn't achieve her goal, and the principal's grandfather, who had been with her, was going to leave completely.
"Don't cry, Louise." Osman stroked Louise's hair and comforted, "You've done enough for you all these years. You should be proud, just my old bones and go away with those weary souls, as for the remaining children. ”
Speaking of this, Osman paused and knelt down on one knee facing An Rietta: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for his previous rudeness, and forgive the old minister for not being able to accompany you anymore, and please continue to guide the people of Torristeen in the future." ”
"Please call Osmanqing, for so many years, thank you for your hard work. When I get there, please say hello to my father and mother on my behalf. Also, do you think we can have a 'future'? ”
Angela looked at the magic that bound her with some bitterness.
"Rest assured, Verne will not embarrass everyone." Understanding the concerns of An Lietta and the others, Osman looked at Verne with some pleading: "Huh? Mr. Kaedmon. ”
Although he knew that the old guy relied on the old man to sell old clothes, Verne really couldn't refuse. Not to mention that he will have to cooperate with Louise and others in the future, the relationship can't be too stiff.
Let's just say now, seeing Louise crying, there is a very burning and murderous eye that has been staring at him since just now. As for who that look came from, do you need to say?
As a professor of Hogwarts magical literature, Verne now really wants to destroy this bastard who "forgets his senses" and "deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors", and he really wants to ask Seamus if this idiot still has a position?
However, the "pot-bellied" Professor Verne still decided to forgive him, there is no need to be like a child, and he is still a child who is carried away by love.
"It's not impossible to let you go, and even I have a way to solve those causes and effects in you." Speaking of this, Verne deliberately glanced at Seamus, only to find that the other party immediately looked at him with pleading eyes like a faithful little animal.
And Seamus's expression naturally fell in the eyes of Louise and Ann Rietta and others, which made them not very "comfortable": "Say, what do you want?" ”
Verne smiled, and then it was time to negotiate.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to do a little favor, of course, although some things can be regarded as a punishment in a certain way, after all, you have done so many things, well, from the point of view of the result, it is an attempt, but the impact is really not good.
However, I will not force you to do what you don't want to do, so I will discuss with you one by one, and you can do what you agree to do. ”
As he spoke, Verne took out a thick stack of papers, and then added with a smile: "Of course, the number cannot be too small." ”
Everyone present, except for Seamus, thought of one word: [Profiteer! 】……
