Chapter 50: The Man (2-in-1 Chapter)
"How?"
Wood and Caiyue looked at Beatrice who walked in from the outside, and their faces were a little teasing: "Are you sure?" β
Beatrice nodded, looked at Wood, and said, "That is...... Am I not affected because you are integrated into the energy of my 'gate'? β
"Probably." Wood nodded casually.
"It's time to explain to me the Jealous Witch, right? Who is that jealous witch? Why did she give me a death ...... someone I didn't know" Natsuki almost blurted out those four words again, but after being glared at by Wood, he hurriedly swallowed back: "...... This ability. β
"If you don't want to kill someone, don't mention the words 'death returns' in front of people in this world."
Wood reminds that the previous brief contact was not without gains; The legend that the Witch of Jealousy devoured nearly half of the world is not pure fiction, she does have a certain ability to control the world, so Wood did not deliberately prevent the Witch of Jealousy from leaving after draining her soul.
Although Wood under the succubus constitution is lustful, he will not choose such a stupid thing as 'death under the peony flower' when it comes to his life, as Wood said before...... It can be said that it is extremely difficult to control a part of the soul of a jealous witch in this world.
But erase it...... It's not like he can't do it.
However, erasing this part of the soul of the Jealous Witch may not make the Jealous Witch who has a certain connection to the world die, but it will definitely make the grudge between him and the Jealous Witch surge.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wood resolutely admitted.
"The jealous witch Shatilla, who devoured the six witches who were once named as great sins, and devoured nearly half of the world, can be said to be the most terrifying person in the world."
Beatrice sniffed the lingering fragrance of the witch on Caiyue's body, kept observing him, and continued: "Some people say that she longs for love; Some say she doesn't understand human language; Some people say that the body is eternally immortal, immortal, and endless; Some people say that even if she is sealed by the power of the Divine Dragon, Sword Saint, and Sage, she will not be able to destroy her body; Some people say ......"
"That body is a silver-haired half-elf!!"
"Silver-haired half-elves?"
Natsuki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Emilia had also borrowed the name 'Shatila', and now that she thinks about it, she doesn't want to get too close to her, so she came up with this name that makes the world fearful, right?
Pity......
But he's a guy with no common sense.
A smile appeared on Caiyue's face and asked, "Why would such an existence pay extra attention to people like me?" β
Although I don't want to admit it, after the experience of the Millaud Mansion, Caiyue Pleiades also has a clear understanding of her own position in her heart; It can be said that if there is no death reset, he does not have anything special in this world at all.
Beatrice shook her head.
Wood put aside the book introducing the Jealous Witch in his hand: "It is the Jealous Witch who pulled you into this world, and as for which mad woman who dares to be the enemy of the world should take extra care of you, you have to ask her face to face." β
"Don't you even know?" Caiyue said with some disappointment.
ββ¦β¦ Do you really think I know everything? β
The corners of Wood's mouth moved slightly, and then he spoke: "Let's put this aside first, you better think about how you will survive in this mansion in the future, I don't want to repeat this day all the time." β
ββ¦β¦β
Caiyue's face darkened, why did this sound so uncomfortable? It's like who wants to die.
"Betty doesn't care, anyway, no matter how the outside world changes, it's all with Betty in the forbidden book vault...... It doesn't matter. "Beatrice used her 'Door of Opportunity' ability to pull a chair from a room in the mansion once again.
As soon as I sat down, dessert and tea appeared on the only table.
"It's really a convenient ability."
Wood muttered enviously and reached for dessert on the table.
Syllable!
However, as soon as his hand reached for dessert, he was knocked aside by Betty.
"It's Betty's, if you want to eat it, get it yourself."
"It's all in one room, so don't be so stingy."
"It's already a great honor for Betty to agree to you living in the forbidden library, do you still want me to take care of you?"
Syllable!
Wood took advantage of the words to secretly stretch out and was beaten aside again, and after glancing at Beatrice, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of black tea: "Older Lori is really stingy, those little Loli who meet the age are much stronger than you, and any good things will be shared with me." β
"Hehe, you can be so proud of eating little girls' things, it's really rare for a scumbag like you to be seen."
"It's called 'love', you know."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cai Yue looked at the two people who suddenly shifted from the topic of their own death to the dessert competition, and black lines stood up on their foreheads.
"Hey! Your focus is clearly on the wrong side, right? I'm dead!! β
Caiyue yelled angrily, even if her little life is cheap, it should be better than that plate of desserts.
It's really sad for me to do this!!
"Whether you die or not has nothing to do with Betty."
Beatrice looked at Natsuki with an idiotic gaze: "What's more, when did Betty agree to let you into my library?" Although the words were said to Cai Yue, in the end, her eyes fell on Wood.
"Don't look at me." Wood took a sip of tea: "He found the opportunity door position by himself, after all, there is never a shortage of people with opportunities in this world." β
Beatrice was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then snorted coldly, and no longer pursued Cai Yue's escape to her forbidden library.
As Wood says, there is no shortage of people with opportunities in this world.
It has been 400 years since she made a contract with her mother...... Although there are few people here, it is not impossible.
"Since you don't want to repeat this day all the time, why don't you help me figure it out?"
Taking advantage of Beatrice's inattention, Wood hurriedly took a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth, causing Beatrice to snort.
"You just haven't figured out why you're dying, have you?"
Wood muttered a vague sentence, then swallowed the dessert in his mouth, and continued, "I told you. β
"Huh?" Caiyue was stunned.
"Don't trust strangers casually, there is no one in the world, including me, that you can absolutely trust."
Wood shrugged his shoulders: "It should be said that no matter what world you are in, being wary of strangers is an extremely normal reaction; In this mansion, apart from Emilia and Parker, you are just a stranger in the eyes of everyone else. β
"Carefully at the Mirod house."
Wood sneered, looked at Caiyue and said word by word: "Look at the big with the small!" β
Small, big?
Caiyue was silent for a moment.
If so...... It can be said that the person who killed himself must have been someone in this mansion.
I came to this world from another world, and I didn't know where I came from.
Normally, Rozval would not have left an unknown person like himself in the mansion at all, after all, Emilia's identity is the heir to the king's choice.
The struggle for the rights of a family is already so cruel, let alone the struggle for the rights of a country, it is normal to be careful.
Not to mention......
I'm still so suspicious.
With a small amount of kindness, choosing to work as a trivial servant must seem suspicious to others.
The Mirod family competed for the position of a small head of the family, and Pelisa had planted spies under her three Burpats, not to mention fighting for a country, and the possibility of a guy from unknown origin like herself was a spy was extremely high.
Although he had helped Emilia a little favor, if he thought about it deeply, it was even more suspicious that he had coincidentally appeared in the swag vault by using the memories he had previously reset; You must know that when he was in Rasmez, Wood used Wihairo to attack the residential area, so that Peilisa could gain the gratitude of the residents of the residential area.
When you think about it, it's as if the gut hunter was sent by himself... The goal is to get Emilia's gratitude, so that she can lurk beside her openly.
Wrong!
Cai Yue hurriedly shook her head, she is not a spy!!
(Think about why the House of Mirod was destroyed.) οΌ
Caiyue suddenly remembered Wood's words in her mind, and couldn't help but look at Wood a little weirdly, did this bastard have thought that there would be such a day?
And what did he do when he came to the Mezath mansion?
The first job was to send the division of Mezath to the president of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, who was also the successor of the king; When he returned, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead to find out the truth of Rozval; Add to that the ominous witch aura in Wood and Beatrice's mouths.
Combined, these factors ......
"I'm so suspicious!!"
Wood glanced at Natsuki, this naΓ―ve guy has finally opened up a little.
"Who killed me?"
Natsuki asked, the first thing he thought of was the twin sisters, but he couldn't be sure; Because if they reported to Rozval about their own investigation of Rozval, they might also die at the hands of Rozval.
"You don't need to know that."
After Wood said that, he set his eyes on the book in his hand, and said in a cold tone: "The more you know, the more suspicions will be exposed, and the easier it will be to arouse suspicion." Just remember not to ask sensitive things and you won't be killed. β
"......" Caiyue Pleiades.
It's the same as not saying it, that's why he hates this scumbag.
Caiyue stayed where she was and thought for a while, then turned around and left the forbidden book library.
His departure left the Forbidden Books vault once again in silence, but it didn't last long.
"It's those two little girls of the ghost clan."
Wood turned to look at Beatrice next to her, and saw that she was still holding a book and reading it, as if she hadn't said it.
Seeing this, the corners of Wood's mouth hooked slightly: "Why?" β
"There's no need for any other reason, just having the scent of a witch on your body is enough to cause Rem to kill someone who can smell the scent of a witch." Beatrice closed the book and turned to look at Wood, "Do you really think that human imp can gain the trust of the twin sisters in this situation?" β
"Hmm."
Wood took a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "NaΓ―ve people, whether they are enemies or friends, are they easy to get along with, aren't they?" β
"Boring humans."
Beatrice snorted, picked up a book, and turned around to go back to her room.
"Tsk, it's really awkward."
Wood looked at Beatrice's departing back and smiled bitterly, "I wanted to take the opportunity to talk a little more." β
β¦β¦
"This is an incomplete copy of the 'Book of Wisdom' that I hold. The Book of Wisdom is so complex that I haven't been able to unlock them all...... But this weakened copy can give some simple hints about the future of the holder, and it should be worth looking forward to. β
A pair of familiar white palms took the handed book and stroked the epidermis with trembling hands.
The beautiful woman in front of her continued, "There are two books. One for you, and the other for Rozval. The rest should have been handled by Rozval with that book. It's a selfish request, but I hope you'll accept it. β
Looking down at the book in her hand, she wanted to refuse, but the understanding of the mother who created her in front of her made her understand...... Whatever the reason for refusing......
Acedona......
Her mother had already made up her mind to answer everything.
Even if I weep and plead now, and do not choose to exist, but follow my mother, I am afraid that she will not change her answer.
Becauseβ
Lust Witch Akidona is such a person, such a witch.
"Even if I don't come back, someone will have to open this library one day. At that point, hopefully you will understand for yourself who it is. There will definitely be someone who is suitable to inherit my knowledge to visit you. β
"Come and visit...... Betty? β
"Let's say 'that person'. The deadline for the end of the mission is set at the moment when 'that man' opens the door to the forbidden library - this is my last request! β
A final request.
The words made her swallow a breath, and she looked up again, looking at her mother's face, which was the same expression as usual.
But......
In that expression, there was only a moment of now, mixed with this kind of emotion that he didn't know.
"Beatrice. At least I hope you can grow up healthy! β
β¦β¦
Beatrice opened her eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling that she had been looking at for more than four hundred years, and a look of exhaustion flashed across her little face.
"Dreams?"
In the blink of an eye, four hundred years have passed.
I still haven't waited for 'that person' in my mother's mouth.
In the past four hundred years, many people have come here without her permission, but none of them are the 'person' that Beatrice has been waiting for, and even if 'that person' really exists, Beatrice doesn't know...... Because 'that person' may have just been woven by my mother in order to keep me alive.
But......
Beatrice suddenly remembered someone who was here now, and whispered to herself, "If it's him......"
"It's a pity!"
A voice suddenly remembered, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "I'm not the 'person' you imagined, although it is a bit arrogant to say this, but don't say a copy, even if it is a genuine book of wisdom, it is impossible for me to have my existence track, and it is even more impossible for your mother to know about my arrival." β
Beatrice was stunned for a moment, then her face changed, and she hurriedly jumped off her big bed.
After running out of the room, I saw Wood on the other side, also yawning and walking out of the room.
"Morning!"
Wood waved lazily.
Beatrice's face sank, and she said in a cold tone, "What did you do to me?" β
"I should say that."
Wood glanced at Beatrice, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water: "I was dreaming of millions of cute little Lolitas taking turns to offer me lollipops, but I was interrupted by someone's past that I didn't want to know at all, which is very refreshing." β
Beatrice frowned, and her big eyes stared straight at Wood.
"Don't get me wrong, I can tell you for sure that the person in front of you is definitely not the 'person' you are waiting for." Wood scratched his chicken coop-like hair, and couldn't help but yawn again: "The reason why I saw your dreams happened is probably because of my divine power." β
"As for why this happened, judging from the previous dreams, I also have a certain guess...... Judging from your conversation with the witch in the dream, as an artificial elf, you do not have a so-called 'door' in your body, but a 'powerful soul crystal' as the core. β
"And after my divine power was poured into the so-called 'powerful soul crystal', it changed the essence of the soul crystal, causing a temporary connection between you and me, so this phenomenon happened."
Beatrice frowned when she heard this: "What exactly do you want to say?" β
"Nothing."
Wood shrugged his shoulders and threw himself directly into the chair: "I just think that the replica is very troublesome, and I hate trouble very much, so in order to avoid your misunderstanding, I will explain it to you in advance." β
"Humph!"
Beatrice snorted coldly, and a sneer appeared on her face: "Don't be too presumptuous, a guy like you can't be the person I'm waiting for." β
β¦β¦
