vs 56 The One Chosen by the Shadows
The fifty-sixth day into the eternal world.
Wilson's question is exactly what everyone is curious about: Why me?
The old woman looked at everyone, "This is actually a big reason why I don't want to make the secret public: we were chosen by the Shadows, and this is not a coincidence, but because of each of our little secrets. "Everyone," she stressed. ”
"So—"
"It's not just me, it's all of you who are hiding something, or you are unconsciously hiding it." The old grandmother pushed her glasses, "Woody's transformation, Wolfgang's body changed due to fullness and hunger, do you think this is really normal?" ”
"Huh? I thought it was my family inheritance, wasn't it sick? Wolfgang tapped his head, "If it's a secret, then I'm not hiding it from everyone." ”
"No one doubts you." Willow turned to Wolfgang and said.
Wilson got into thinking: Everybody. This coincided with his suspicions, he had always believed that everyone had reservations about their companions, what was it? Willow's Bernie the Bear, who had protected her in the dark; Grandma's magic book, she had already admitted; Wigford's golden spear and unicorn helmet were not weapons that should be found on earth; Woody is the secret of the full moon with Lucy's axe; Wolfgang was reduced in size by extreme hunger, and his abilities seemed to be limited; Chef Wally has portable tools, and Wilson has always felt that he is not fully accommodating; and Wendy and Winona, Wendy's ghost sister and Winona's transcendent craftsmanship; Not to mention the robot, his existence is a big secret. What about the others? Why was Dumb Badis chosen, and what are Maxwell's abilities? Is it also books and magic?
Most importantly, Wilson's heart is shaken, and what about me? What commendable skills do I have to match these afflicted companions?
"Got it?" The old grandmother interrupted everyone's musings. They looked up at each other and said, "I understand why I'm here, but you?" What are your reasons?
Only Wolfgang did not understand: "Understand what?" Grandma, can you make it clearer and stop playing pantomime here? ”
Wilson laughed and cried, and then asked the old woman, "We understand why you're hiding something here." Then, about the kings of this world, why don't you encourage everyone to fight as soon as possible? ”
"On the one hand, I am worried about everyone's safety, the resurrection table can bring the dead back to life, but how many resurrection platforms are there in this world, are they still effective? It's not certain, I don't want anyone to risk their lives, it's better if we're prepared and go all out against the king. ”
"So, it's true that if you defeat all the kings, you can go home?" Willow also spoke.
"It's true, this world is connected to our homeland through an ancient gate, which is in an ancient area underground. It is said to be guarded by the Lord of Shadows, but according to the liar, Charlie is the current ruler of the Shadows. I speculate that if we're going to go home, we'll have to defeat both the Shadow Lord and Charlie, and they must have the key to open the Ancient Gate. ”
"It's complicated." Wolfgang sighed, "Just stay here." ”
"No way!" "No way!" Wilson and Willow shouted together, "We must go home!" ”
After listening to the old woman's words, Chef Wally proposed: "In that case, let's go and explain the facts to the rest of the companions, and get back to normal, right?" ”
"Yes, there is great strength in unity!"
The old grandmother shook her head: "I'm afraid, they won't listen to me." Maxwell is also telling the truth, in fact, the occurrence of this incident is not a simple matter of trust, but a difference in philosophy, Woody and Winona, they are all radicals, and their belief in returning home is far firmer than ours, and their execution is stronger; The old lady sighed, "And all of you who stayed, you are all out of affection for me, and I am grateful." ”
"Don't say that, grandma, you'll always be our best family!"
Wilson stared at Willow, who had become Grandma's most solid advocate since she went out with her to resurrect Wigford. But he still had questions: "Then what Maxwell said is all true?" If he knew the truth, it was obviously intentional to divide us, so why would he do it, just for the good of everyone, to speed up the process? ”
"Hmph, I don't believe he has such a good heart."
"I don't know," the old lady shook her head, "and he doesn't necessarily tell the truth, as I said, my magic book is a history book, and it records history, not methods. I've speculated on the power of the king, the shadows, how to get home, and so on, based on the contents of the book, not facts. Presumably the same is true of Maxwell, whose purpose is a mystery. I think it's okay to trust him, but you also have to be vigilant about him at all times. ”
Wilson understood, and he made a judgment in his heart: Grandma must be trusted, and Maxwell must be cautious. In fact, he still had a good impression of this magician at first, but after so much happened, if he heard this guy's oily tone again, Wilson would definitely want to punch him first.
