Verse 411: The Old Days Were Silent (4)
"Lady Teresa, why did you become a wizard." Marin looked at the lady in front of him and asked softly. To help a person, you must first know what he is worthy of your help, Marin looked at this lady, hoping that his sincerity could be exchanged for a true answer.
“…… Me, the story is going to be long, would you really like to hear a dark wizard say that. Lady Teresa's answer was full of worries, doubts, and memories and nostalgia.
"Say it." Marin smiled in return, hoping that this story would move everyone.
Lady Teresa smiled as well, and she began to recount her past.
She came from the Northern Kingdom, where she was the youngest daughter of a minor nobleman, and because of her talent for magic, her father thought twice and decided to give her to the Mage Tower, which was exempt from tuition and fees, and in the North, the Mage Tower had an advantage.
There, she met her future husband, also from a noble family in the Northern Kingdom, who was also the youngest son, and his similar family background, identity and status made her and him quickly confirm the existence of each other from the apprentices.
Until the age of fourteen, the relationship between the two was as pure and beautiful as it is written in all love, until he was hurt by a curse - an expedition to the underground ruins, the eldest boy was injured by a rusty broken blade, and the wound never healed, but began to worsen the abscess.
They began to look for a cure, but the church was unable to do anything, and the church believed that this was the cause of the broken blade, so Teresa found the broken blade, but the church was unable to determine the source of the poison and curse on the blade.
In the end, his family chose to give up - spending too much money for an incurable young son, which was also unbearable for a baronial family.
The Mage Tower was unable to help the two, so the older boy committed suicide, but he did not succeed because Lady Teresa proposed to him.
The two people who decided to come together finally chose to become wizards, because they had the foundation of mages, they deeply understood the limitations and dangers of wizards, and after bypassing the dangers and limitations, this man lived for more than ten years, until finally, unable to bear the pain, knowing that his will was about to collapse, in order to avoid his complete distortion, the man begged Lady Teresa to let her end his life for him.
Lady Teresa fulfilled the promise, but she must have kept her husband's soul and sealed it in a soul crystal, and for ten years she had been searching for a way to resurrect him.
"Your Excellency Marin, I want to say a word to John again, I want him to bathe in the sun again, I want to tell him that I have never given up on him, I am entangled with his fate, and I will never give up, but I have never been able to have a chance, if I can, I can exchange everything, I only need this chance, my life, my strength can be used as a bargaining chip, I just ask you to give my soul a freedom, because my soul belongs only to John."
As Lady Theresa finished speaking, everyone saw the circle at her feet, a sign that she had passed the lie detection, and Marin heard the sigh of the Charioteer.
There was no longer ridicule in the man's eyes, only sighs and sadness.
"Your Excellency Marlin, do you have a solution?" Miss Lover looked at Marin with anxiety in her eyes and more anticipation.
Looks like you're a man with a story, Miss Lovers.
Thinking of this, Marin thought for a while and decided to invite someone directly: "I am touched by the relationship between you and your husband, Lady Teresa, I have decided to help you, and next, I will invite a Your Excellency to enter, and if any of you are in the evil camp, or do not want to see the Excellency who appeared in the Great Wasteland, you can leave now." ”
There was a hint of surprise in the wizards' eyes, and Mr. Sigma let out an exclamation, "Can you just invite him!" ”
Marin nodded, and then looked at the fact that no one had left: "Since everyone is confident in their identity, then, Your Excellency Anonymous, are you free?" ”
With Marin's words, a communication immediately opened behind him, and a child wearing a gray robe with similar appearance characteristics to Marin walked out: "Marin, you always call me at an unsuitable time. ”
Marin glanced at the marks on his face and rolled his eyes, and told him everything about this and Lady Teresa.
During the feast, the faces of the wizards could be seen to change, and when they heard that Marin was an intruder, uprooting the organization that had conducted countless forbidden experiments here, several wizards' faces turned pale.
"You want to inject the soul of this witch husband into those soulless bodies, but as you said, these shells are mutilated, and usually only have a life of about ten years." Anonymous said this, and the body projection of a five-year-old child suddenly appeared in front of everyone: "Very perfect body, it seems that the old humans in this world have enough power comparable to the gods, and the recreation of the body of the life god system is nothing more than that, the mutilation of these lives is just the reason for the raw materials, if they have your genes, they can create perfect lives, hundreds of years of life, powerful flesh, and extremely high ceiling of surgical affinity...... It's a pity that they met the wrong you at the wrong time. ”
"I know, so, Lord Anonymous, do you think it's okay to do that?" Marin asked.
"I want to know what you think." Anonymous looked at Marin and asked rhetorically.
“…… Give Lady Teresa a chance, it is far better to let a dark wizard born of love have an end of love than to let her twist and evolve in endless pain, so we give this opportunity and limit it......" Marin turned his head to look at Lady Teresa: "Madam, you said that you have a chance, and you can pay with your life for it, right?" ”
"Yes, Lord Marlin! Your Highness, I want only one chance to meet John again. The lady's face was full of tears, because she saw a glimmer of hope.
"Well, I'll give you this chance, but your husband's body may only have a life span of ten or even years, and since you say you love him, and he loves you, then...... Your life will be bound to his life, you will live together and die together, and he will live a few more years for this, and you will lose some because of this, are you willing to accept such conditions? ”
"I do, I've been longing for such an opportunity, as a wizard, I can't ask the gods for help, but Lord Marlin, you can help me, and I will always remember your kindness."
"I don't need your kindness, enjoy the rest of your life with your husband." After Marin finished speaking, Anonymous snapped his fingers, and the young boy began to grow, and it was visible to the naked eye, Lady Teresa was also getting younger, a soul crystal was taken out by her, Anonymous extracted the soul in it, confirmed it, and then put the gray mist human form into the body of the grown boy.
"It's not a great traitor, congratulations on passing my test." After Anonymous finished smiling, Marin saw that the big boy opened his eyes, he looked around a little blankly, caught the robe that Marin threw over and said thank you: "By the way, where am I...... Where's Rowlingsa. ”
"Here I am, John." Lady Teresa, who had turned back into a maiden, threw herself into his arms.
"I, how young we are, where is this, I remember you helped me get liberation......"
As Mrs. Rorinsha's real name explained, Mr. John finally hugged her: "No, how can you sacrifice for me to such an extent." ”
"No, John, to be able to hear your heartbeat again, to be able to face death with you, this is the best compliment that fate has given me, thank you Lord Marlin, thank you Lord of Justice, John, don't say anything more, we will not be separated again."
“…… No, we will be together until one day, when death knocks on the door. ”
Marin looked at the two of them hugging each other as they spoke, and sighed with some emotion.
This is true love, touching, true love.
"I am touched by your kindness, Lord Marin." Lord Power saluted Marin.
"Hats off, Lord Marin, in you I see true virtue." His Excellency also bowed his head.
"My compatriots say that you are a true sage, and I used to think that you were too young, but now it seems that my vision is too little." His Excellency clasped his hands together and saluted.
"Don't thank me, I just want my lover to be happy...... I would like to thank you, or Your Excellency. After Marin finished speaking, he bowed his head and stroked his chest.
"You are willing to salute me for the reunion of my strangers, Marin, you are really a fellow that makes me wonder, but because of this, you are so favored by the World Tree...... In that case, I have given you this abode by means of the kings of the earth, and from this day onwards you are the master of it, and if you have new candidates suitable for symbiosis, tell me, and I will bless them......"
Speaking of this, the passage opened behind him, and the god turned his head to look at Marin as he turned around: "Marin, perhaps, it would be a good choice for you to become a god like me who holds the authority of love. ”
"It's too early for me to say all this, and thank you for coming."
"I don't need to be grateful, it's also a joy for me to see a lover finally become a family."
Marin watched the god leave, then turned to look at the wizards, "John and Lady Rowlingsa will leave through my channel, do you have any questions?" ”
"No, Your Excellency." His Excellency replied first: "As a participant, I would like to tell Your Excellency Marin that it is best for you to have a title of your own and not to use your real name in the gathering. ”
"So...... Just call me a stargazer. Marin nodded, using his serial name as his own title.
Sounds good, isn't it.
