Chapter 30: State of Mind
When Rico came to her senses, she was no longer in the forest, but in a very large library. At this time, she was holding a skill book in her hand.
[What kind of place is this?Am I not in a trial?How did I get here?] Rico's mind was full of questions.
Huge bookcases, huge quantities of books, it's clear that this is a library. Hmm? How does this give me a very familiar feeling? Library...... Suddenly, Rico's pupils shrank suddenly, as if she had thought of something that scared her.
It won't be ...... here A memory that she didn't want to remember came to her mind.
Originally...... I'm back to that day.
That day, in the library of this temple of light, everything was changed for me.
Rico instinctively wanted to escape, but she found that she couldn't control her body. Only then did she notice that this body was not her own, no, to be exact, it was Little Richard's.
"Ah~ It's so boring. A child's childish voice came from Little Ricole's mouth.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the doorway.
"Hey, there's someone here, it's great, there's someone to play with. "Little Lico ran in the direction of the gate.
[Don't go! Stop, I don't want to go through that day again.] Rico tried to control the body, but to no avail.
When she was about to meet them, she hid behind a bookshelf.
Hee-hee, I'm going to surprise them. Xiao Li Ke thought so.
It was three little girls, and they were talking at the moment, unaware of the hidden little Li.
A: "The heirs of this generation are really lively and cheerful, every time I play with her, I feel a light in my heart, and it feels comfortable." ”
B: "Well, I think she's even better than Her Highness Kelly before." ”
Xiao Like, who was hiding, heard their praise and was very happy.
C: "Hey, what's good, it's not like the other heirs, they are all poor creatures of fate." The third said disdainfully.
B: "Yes, when she goes through the ceremony, she will become the same as the hall master, and she will have no other feelings in her heart except for the belief in light, which is really pitiful." ”
A: "Yes, she wouldn't have cared about us then. My dad told me not to let me have a deep relationship with her. ”
C: "We should stay away from her, and after she becomes the hall master in the future, she will trouble us." ”
"Hmm. The other two nodded.
And at this time, Xiao Like, who was hiding and eavesdropping on all this, curled herself up as if she had been drained of all her strength, and cried lowly.
Like Lico, she felt herself squeezed by a great sadness, and that sadness soaked into her heart, and let herself bear the sadness at the same time, which made her heart ache faintly, and she was also like little Lico, curled up in her heart.
Xiao Li remembered her father's indifference to everything around her, and she suddenly realized. Is that why even my brother doesn't want to get close to me? Because I'm going to be an emotionless person after all, don't you want to have more contact with me? No, I don't believe it, I'm going to ask my father.
[No, don't go.] Rico shouted in his heart, but he could only be a bystander.
"Boom" The sky began to rain, and Xiao Li Ke ran wildly in the rain, ignoring the rain to get wet and become embarrassed.
Little Lico stepped into the main hall, faced the high and holy father, and asked eagerly, "Father, am I going to be erased of my feelings?" ”
Kevin Raphael frowned as he looked at his embarrassed little daughter in the main hall, dissatisfied with her untidy step into the main hall, and an indifferent voice reached Little Ricco's ears.
"Yes, that is the inheritance of the temple, and you, as the heir, must accept it. ”
The last hope is shattered, and Lico runs out of the main hall, and the despair of the dashed hope fills the hearts of the two of them.
That day, he was so indifferent, so ruthless, that he shattered my last hope.
Liars, liars, all liars. Those superficial goodies are all lying to me, and I hate you.
Endless darkness enveloped Rico in the sea of hearts, and the surrounding scenery gradually disappeared, and all kinds of sounds filled Rico's ears.
"You will be an emotionless person in the future, let's not play with you. ”
"You have to accept your fate. ”
"You little liar, you don't deserve to be a light magician. ”
"You've disgraced the Temple of Light. ”
Since then, scenes have appeared in Lico's mind, and the words of sarcasm, exhortation, or anger are like knives slashing through the heart, leaving wounds one after another.
"Don't, don't say any more. Lico clutched her head and cried out in pain. The light in her eyes faded and faded, and finally vanished.
The surrounding sounds faded away, and there was a dead silence. Lico slowly stood up and muttered to herself into the endless void, "This identity makes me so painful, I don't want to ask for it anymore." How do you get rid of it? Hmm...... By the way, if I die, someone will replace me. Yes, you can be liberated when you die. ”
A dagger appeared in Lico's hand, and she slowly approached her abdomen with both hands on the hilt. Suddenly, just as she was about to poke in, the bauhinia pendant around Lico's neck emitted a faint glow, turned into a turquoise butterfly and flew between Lico's eyebrows, disappearing.
"I think Rico is a very qualified light magician. ”
"The light in her body infects us and makes us feel warm. ”
"She can definitely become a great light mage in the future. ”
Affirmative and resolute words reached Ricko's ears.
Who? Who is talking, why does it feel so familiar to me, but I can't remember who he is?
"Ricole, don't eat too many desserts, eat staples. ”
"Look, I'm not lying to you, this soup is delicious. ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, it's going to be fine. ”
"I want them to be happy like this, so I'm going to protect them. ”
......
More and more voices appeared, turning into points of light that coalesced together, forming a phantom in front of Rico.
The Phantom stood in front of Rico, took her hand holding the dagger, and said to her, "Come with me." ”
The warm feeling was like a key that opened the door to memories, and those memories that were hidden by darkness poured out like a flood.
A tear slipped from his eye socket and dripped into the void with a crisp sound.
