Section 414: The Silence of the Past (1)
"See, Mimian, the winner in life, seven times stronger than me." Logan glanced at Marlin, then turned to his lover and sighed. The latter smiled brightly and looked extremely satisfied, which made Marin also sigh - if it was Logan in the past, with his words, this girl would have twisted this kid's waist a long time ago, unlike now, when you can smile while being elegant and vulgar.
"Then again, Logan, how many cousins do you have?" After shaking hands with Logan's two cousins, Marin turned his head to look at his partner, who looked embarrassed: "This, I don't know." ”
Marin felt that the Logan family must have been surnamed Habsburg before.
After greeting all the young people who came to watch the ceremony, Marin also introduced Ruivo to the curious, focusing on her identity - mage, alchemist.
In the face of such an identity, housekeeping goblins is just a small problem.
Marlin brought Ruiwo over, also to give this little girl a name, although everyone said that it was just a combination of what they needed, but Marlin always felt that this girl who was shorter than herself when she was small still needed more care.
What Marin needs is not a union that each takes what he needs, but a love that lives up to each other,
Ivo was timid at first when he was by Marin's side, but gradually, Marin saw the change in this girl, and when Marin introduced her today, the girl mustered up the courage and stood bravely by Marin's side.
This is like the heart that a five-ring mage should have, no matter what, the origin of the strong will always be the most vain existence, in the old historical knowledge that Marin reads, housegoblins are the 'specialty' of Britain, these completely biological artificial beings are the existence of people, after the destruction came, most of them died on that peninsula, but there are still some housegoblins who survived, and now they have a place in the great woodland, still serving everyone.
Fate never seems to favor house-keeping goblins, they can only trade their jobs for a place to survive, but they never give up, maybe clumsy, they are the least distorted existence.
One might think that Marin would marry her because of her family estate and status as an alchemist.
But Marin believes that more people don't think so.
Because it only takes a while for the news of Marin's promotion to Tier 5 will definitely spread throughout the human world like the tide of the battle against the Black Orcs with Sidney's legion.
"Mr. Marin, there is your urgent letter." A steward of the Gallo family walked into the scene with the letter, and Marin took the letter and stamped it on the inbox with his seal, and the steward took it to reply to the messenger.
When he opened the letter, it was a letter written by old Ferrero, and it seemed that he should not be able to find Marin, so he could only ask the church to come to him.
Also a good idea.
Then after reading the contents, Marin found that the problems of those children had appeared, and old Ferrero called to ask Marin if he had any information in this regard.
Marin thought for a moment and was going to write down everything he knew when he went back to rest in the evening, and sent it back to Old Ferrero.
At the same time, give Dorothy a message, ask him to send all the lists of the first two batches of children, and then go back to the local church to distinguish the children one by one.
Putting away the letter and giving Revo an unquestionable smile, Marlin noticed the expectant gaze of the Lady Gaylo.
"I'm going on stage, go back to your sisters." Sending Revo back to the girls, Marlin straightened the collar of his robe.
As he took the stage, he noticed a scorching gaze from behind him.
Turning around, I saw Nova's smile.
Marin laughed happily as well.
At the same time, it was noted that Dorothy was projecting directly within his retina
………………
Colin stood in front of the door of the infirmary, and in the hospital bed in the door, a young girl lay on it, on which she slept peacefully, while the young man holding her hand looked at the medical officer of the Church of Love: "Your Excellency, can't you really save her?" ”
"I'm sorry, young man, her body is decaying, and there is nothing we can do about it." The medical officer of the Church of Mercy couldn't help this, and Colin was very distressed when he watched this scene—these two children were senior apprentices of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, and both children were orphans, but the girl was from the north, and the boy was a local.
Colin watched them grow up, and for twelve years, she and he were both old enough to talk about marriage, and the church was very supportive of this, because both of them were devout believers.
"Your Excellency Liefei, can you surgically remove that thing?" Watching Ferrero walk over, Colin asked softly, in his imagination, because it was the strange thing, it seemed to be connected to the brain.
"It's useless, Marlin just replied, these children are scouts sent by the remnants of an old civilization, they are bred using the genes of technological hunters recovered from the Black Zone, their bodies are inherently flawed, so, whatever that thing is, it has nothing to do with their lives......" Ferrero sighed as he looked at the girl on the hospital bed.
"The Legacy...... Do they still exist, I thought it was just a legend. Colin looked at the choked boy and asked very uncomfortably.
What a poor child, life has just begun, and he has already become like this.
"Marin has exterminated them for what they have done, and has also obtained a list of children, and he says that he will arrange for the messenger to return with them, and will come back once in person when the time comes." Speaking of this, old Ferrero patted Colin on the shoulder: "Okay, Colin, you go and rest." ”
"Well, then I'll go back to church first." Colin scratched the back of his head, then walked into the hospital bed and comforted the boy before choosing to leave.
Walking out of the hospital, Fort Carter on a summer afternoon with enthusiasm, Colin walked back along the shade of the pavement, and as he walked, he suddenly felt some twitching in the back of his head, which seemed to be a minor problem in the last year or two.
Giving himself a treatment method, Colin sighed, feeling that he still couldn't be treated—he wasn't worried about whether he would be these children, after all, judging from the onset of the disease, these children all became ill in about five to ten years, and Colin has been almost twenty years since he can remember.
When his mentor picked him up, he was a very young child.
While comforting himself, while walking around the corner, Colin saw a person standing in the distance, and before he could see his appearance, the strong pain in his brain made the young man unsteady and knelt on the ground.
The pain in the back of his head made him completely unable to control himself, and he reached out in vain to grasp something, but in the end he could only catch the air, and Colin fell to the ground.
Then, one hand held Colin in his arms.
"Sure enough, we were all victims." It was a voice that Colin was all too familiar with, and Colin was helped to sit down by the wall, and he looked up at his mature self.
"You...... Are you me in another timeline? ”
"yes, another timeline, you're twelve years later."
The other Colin smiled, and then he looked at himself, "You should know what kind of illness you have." ”
"Impossible...... I, I'm alive...... Twenty years. Colin said, clutching the back of his head, the pain preventing him from finishing a sentence, but he wouldn't admit it anyway.
"We are different from those children, we are children based on the flesh and blood of ancient people, but ancient people are no longer suitable for this world, the load of magic, the surge of spiritual energy, all this is destroying our bodies, even if I become a believer in Chaos, I can't reverse all this......" Another Colin sat down next to Collin, and he lit a cigarette.
“…… What about your Margaret and the children. ”
"There's no Marlin in my world, what do you think?"
Faced with his own question, the other Colin replied with a smile.
He pumped hard, and Colin saw black blood coming out of his nostrils: "You, what's wrong with you. ”
"My time is up, Colin, me in another timeline, take my head and go to the Lord of Justice when I die, and he will arrange everything for you."
After saying that, the other Colin coughed twice, heard his own call, and he turned his head to look at himself covering his head.
"You're Chaos, why should you help me."
"What happened to me for myself, the people of southern Thailand say, people don't do it, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." The other Colin finished laughing, and a large stream of black blood gushed out of his nose: "After becoming Tzeentch's Great Demon, I learned about why we exist, and then I found that in this multi-faceted timeline, there are always some different mes, and they are happy, just like you...... I'm envious...... Half a year ago, I found that my body was crumbling, and I finally begged the Lord of Justice to allow him to meet me who had found happiness......"
"So, you saw me?"
"Yes...... You are so enviable, there is Margaret, and there are children, all of which are the children named Marin...... Why isn't he in my world......" With that, another Colin began to vomit blood.
"The contact with Anonymous made my collapse even faster, and I knew what I was going to face, and I would be resurrected in subspace...... I don't want to lose the last of my humanity, the other me, take my head, go to the Lord of Justice, help me, purify my ......"
"You say you Tzeentch believer, how can I trust ......", before he could finish speaking, Colin saw his other head completely droop.
"Colin, he's dead."
Hearing the voice in front of him, Colin looked up and saw a warm human form, a divine light, the only one in this multiverse who could still have such light, only the Lord of Justice.
"Your Excellency...... Is it true that he said? ”
"It's true, you, like him, are copies of those ancient people in your eyes."
Hearing such an answer, Colin was silent, and in a trembling manner, he took the cigarette case from his other self, and the divine light purified the chaotic energy that Colin touched, and also allowed him to repair the distortion brought by contact with him.
"Why...... I'm going to be who I am. ”
As he lit his cigarette, Colin finally choked up.
