Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lily's Ballad
At noon the next day, Lily, who had turned into a cat, was awakened by a knock on the door, and she jumped off Abayr's chest and stretched, "It's quite too much to disturb the cat's sleep," Lily said angrily.
The people who came to find Lily came at noon, and if they heard Lily say this, they would probably want to cry without tears.
When he opened the door, there was a young sailor standing at the door, waiting very crampedly for Lily to open the door, although he had long known that magicians were different from ordinary people, and the pair of cat's eyes peeking out of the crack in the door still startled the little sailor.
"Gee, they all think Lily is a magician. Lily thought happily, "Even that strong ship doctor thinks I'm a magician, eh, hehe." ”
And the young sailor, who was initially startled by Lily's cat's eyes, couldn't help but let out a lovely exclamation in his heart when he saw Lily's full picture.
With her turquoise cat eyes and supple hair color, as well as her delicate angel-like face, Lily exudes beauty far beyond her peers.
"Hello?"
Lily's bewildered urging woke the young sailor before he remembered to get down to business: "Miss Lily, it's rude! I have invited you to harvest at the request of the captain...... The loot of you and that gentleman. ”
"Okay, I see, take me now. Lily thought for a while, Abailou had no signs of waking up, and his breathing was very steady, so it seemed that there was no major problem for the time being, and she should go and count the loot for Abailou.
A shadow mage's belongings, thinking about it is still a little exciting, and Lily is a little looking forward to it.
Before leaving, Lily also carefully instructed the sailors to keep Abay Lou safe.
People in the pan-continent generally maintain respect for the strong, such as now, the behavior of collecting the spoils of war for the strong and notifying the strong to come and take it, on the one hand, is respect, on the other hand, it is a show of goodwill, and more is the customs and customs.
However, Lily's expectations were disappointed.
The sailors were terrified of taking out the belongings that Bock had left behind, eager to throw away what they were holding sooner.
Lily also looked at the loot and felt particularly disgusted.
The five crystal bottles all contained two eyeballs, soaked in a green potion, and were hung together on a leather belt and rolled together, outsiders might think that it was probably some kind of evil sacrificial item, Lily was not very old, and the eyes still had it, these things had nothing to do with the sacrifice, and it was clearly Bock's own disgusting interest that was left behind.
Disgusted glanced at these eyeballs: "Throw them all away, it's disgusting." ”
In addition to these, there were a dozen gold coins, some magic materials, a brain with eyeballs soaked in potions, and a strange black stone.
The eyeball with the brain...... When Lily picked it up and looked at it, the eyeball was staring at Lily as well. Lily suddenly felt a wave of overturning, pushing the big jar far away, and the eyeball was still staring at Lily after being pushed away.
"What is this, it's really disgusting. "Even if it was disgusting, Lily thought it was unusual, so she asked the sailor to put it away and pack it with the other things.
As for the more useless things—bones, sharp knives, and strange little bloodstained torture instruments, there were too many Lily to throw them away.
And that strange coat, the one Bock wore when he asked Abay to ask Lily to turn into a cat.
Lily spread it out in confusion, and quickly threw it away, and it was an inner tank made of various animal skins, which was much more disgusting to touch than to touch the eyeball bottle and brain bottle.
The ordinary people who were in charge of throwing these things were even more uncomfortable, not only because they felt disgusting in their hearts, but also because of the fear of ordinary people about mysterious magic, "I threw these strange things, and I won't be cursed by the magician." ”
Lily packed up her things and sniffed the strange smell on her hands, "Hey, I'm going to have to wash my hands." ”
"Miss Lily, we have prepared a sumptuous meal, you can come to the restaurant on the second floor, we are always waiting for you. The sailor said graciously, and he quickly packed up the things that Lily had left behind, ready to put them in the storage room, "We'll clean them." He said.
There is a room at the end of the corridor where Lily is located, there is no running water in the other world, and the washing room is just to scoop water into the basin and wash your hands.
Lily rubbed her hands hard, "Woo woo woo I knew I would have found a sailor to help me get the soap," and then smelled it again, it smelled weird.
A figure appeared behind her.
"Lily?"
Lily was startled by the sudden appearance of a female voice.
Lily squeezed the seal in her hand and slowly turned her head, so that if there was a situation, she could fight back immediately. It turned out to be the mother of the deceased Lily.
She breathed a sigh of relief and removed the seal from her hand.
Lily's mother, who had lost her daughter and learned the truth, now looked very haggard, without the feeling of strength before, and even spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The captain told me that the girl who helped me find the truth was the same as my daughter's name. I was curious, so I came over to take a look. ”
Lily didn't speak, she was curious about the woman's intentions.
"Oh, this isn't the place to talk, there's benches in the hallway, would you mind coming. ”
Now Lily, who had nothing to do, agreed to the woman's invitation, and the two sat down on the bench, and as soon as Lily sat down, the woman was already sitting on the chair and hiding her face and weeping.
A family shattered in just one day, and Lily's mother was strong enough not to break down.
Lily has no good impression of this mother who forced her daughter to death, as a witch who is not accepted by society, Lily is not polite to women, "If you asked me to come here just to cry, I don't need to accompany you anymore." ”
"Because you are really similar to my daughter when she was a child, it reminds me of her. Lily's mother was afraid that Lily would really leave, and tried to stop crying: "I love her so much, she is my only daughter. ”
"Oh?" Lily felt a little amused, she was young and not childish. "You love her, treat her like an object, don't listen to her pleas, and then give it to two people as fiancées, and send someone to kill her childhood sweetheart's servant. ”
Lily's mother didn't expect Lily to know so clearly, "I don't, I'm all for her good, and she can have happiness by listening to me." ”
"It's too embarrassing for a noble lady to be so close to a servant, and I can't make her the laughing stock of the nobles. ”
Lily showed a shameful smile that did not match her age, and looked at Lily's mother with a look of contempt: "The first fiancé died before he got married, and the second fiancé made Lily's death very painful, is this the happiness you gave her?"
"What about the happiness you gave her?"
"How long has it been since you killed her childhood sweetheart?"
Lily's continuous questioning, each of which made the woman's face pale, maybe she would regret it, but now she was still unforgivable.
Lily disdained to communicate with such people.
She left a letter in her bosom where she had sit.
This is the suicide note of the deceased Lily.
"As for Lily, she has not had a family with her since she was a child, so she is very envious of those who have a family. As she left, Lily said, "But even then, Lily doesn't need the love that comes from charity." ”
"This is your daughter's suicide note, and I hope you will spend the rest of your life in repentance. ”
Lily left after speaking, leaving the woman who opened the suicide note alone.
"I came to meet my lover in the world, and I wanted to get love with my laughter.
Until I lost the freedom of my body, my mother said to me:
Love is false.
Words that lash the soul are always more heart-wrenching than stab wounds in the body.
I hope that my humble body can remind you:
Everyone is lonely. ”
This is the ballad written in the first paragraph of the deceased Lily's suicide note, which simply summarizes her simple and tragic voice.
The witch Lily made up this ballad and sang it, which was very beautiful and also hit Lily's mother's heart.
When she realizes her mistake, she will live in remorse, and if she doesn't realize her mistake, she will live an even more miserable life.
There is no happiness.
