0510 Honesty and Forgiveness
"Taylor, you need to get ready now, we'll leave for the east at once, Bella, and if you want to go, you'd better get ready. Downing went into his room to get ready briefly, then came out and handed Marquez a vial. "The contents of this bottle can be given to the members of the troupe and Wyatt, and it will be able to relieve Anruida of those potions, of course, telling Wyatt not to continue chasing the paladin, and now the news is not important. ”
As for the news that the paladin brought back, even if Anruida knew that the person who left Corona Island was Tangning, because the war had already begun, and Anruida could no longer recover the current war situation with His Majesty the King.
Bella refused, she didn't want to go to the East, only Downing and Taylor, so it was okay, she needed to be distracted by the two girls on the way.
As the two left, Márquez poured some of the green potion into another vial, frowning. "It doesn't smell good, Miss Bella, and you'll have to get to Wyatt with this portion. ”
Wyatt's current whereabouts are uncertain, he is chasing the paladin, and Márquez must notify the other forces to join the fight, so Bella can only track Wyatt alone.
Bella gladly took the potion. "No problem. ”
Traveling to the East by water is obviously not realistic, it will take too much time to waste, and the land route is the best way, Taylor happens to be familiar with the land route from the Eternal Continent to the East, and there is also that magic carpet, which can speed up a lot.
There are also wars in the East, in the middle of the East and the West, where the wars are going on, and civilizations are being destroyed and then rebuilt, or civilizations are merging, and new civilizations are being born, but the merchants and the rich here have not changed.
The few cities that have not yet been destroyed tell of their former glory and have become the epitome of civilization, with few pedestrians on the streets, and most of them have taken refuge in their homes, or to their relatives, or have fled to leave the war-torn land.
The prosperity of the Wishing Fountain is also absent, and the coins that have been dropped in the Wishing Fountain have been taken away by some insatiable fellows, and it used to be a sacred place in everyone's minds, and you only need to throw a gold coin into the huge pool to get the chance to make a wish.
Whether it is love, or career can be gained, originally this is the place where the previous princess made a wish, when the princess was still a Cinderella, she threw a silver coin into the pool, then folded her hands and closed her eyes, made her wish, when she turned around, she happened to see the man who was observing this strange behavior.
No one would know that the man was the king's heir, and the man went up to ask the girl, and then a wonderful love affair began, and the girl did not know the man's identity until the day of the wedding, and then the man inherited the throne, and the girl Sora became the princess.
This wonderful love story began to spread, and along with it the story was the pool, named after the princess, called the Sola Trevi Fountain.
The pool is thus endowed with magic, as long as someone makes a wish here, it can be fulfilled, and couples from the East flock to this place to add an insurance policy to their love and career, as for whether it is useful or not, only those who have made a wish know.
Now, the war has calmed down the Trevi Fountain, and some of the murky waters are shimmering, and the occasional pedestrian passes by without even bothering to glance at the blessed Trevi Fountain.
Someone walked up to the Trevi Fountain and took off the mask on his face, which the Oriental woman always wears on her face, followed by a man whose face is also covered.
Looking at the dilapidated trevi fountain, the girl's face was a little sad. "When I heard about it, there were always a lot of people in this trevi fountain, and the water in the trevi fountain was so clear that you could see the gold coins at the bottom. ”
"It's okay, no one bothers now, you are the only one who makes a wish, and the wish will come true sooner. The man behind him also took off his mask, looked at the muddy pool, took out two gold coins and handed them to the girl.
It took a long time to get here from the Eternal Continent, especially when they came here by water, and there were a lot of troubles in navigating on the sea, such as storms and waves, which delayed the trip for a long time.
Anna and Cybertron were standing in front of the Trevi Fountain and threw the gold coins into the Fountain, and the girl closed her eyes and folded her hands.
Cybertron glanced at it, if this wishing fountain was really useful, those in power would definitely not let the civilians here get involved, obviously this is just a good wish and sustenance, if it was before, he would not hesitate to laugh, but at this moment he will not do it.
He also took out a gold coin and threw it into the wishing fountain, closed his eyes, his wish was very simple, he hoped that the people around him would be healthy and safe, that Anna's illness would disappear, that Selena would be safe, how simple and simple, he was not interested in power and money, and his long-term experience had taught him what was the most precious.
The wish lasted for a while, Cybertron opened his eyes and looked at the girl who was still closed, he turned around and sat on the edge of the wishing fountain, the war here burned very fast, it was not safe to stay in the East, at the moment there were only some coastal cities in the East that were safe, there were many people who had fled, and after the wish was over, he had to continue to accompany Anna to where she wanted to go, in short, he had to accompany the girl before Anna died, at least to finish the last journey of her life.
Soon after, Anna opened her eyes, looked at the two gold coins in the Trevi Fountain, and sat back next to Cybertron, holding his arms and resting her head on her shoulder. "Cybertron, what would you do if you knew someone was cheating on you again?"
Cybertron laughed miserably, saying that of course he would be angry that he had been deceived, but perhaps not as strongly as he had been before, for he had been deceived by the young man countless times. "Maybe angry. ”
Simple answer, Anna looked up at the paladin's side face. "I'm talking about what you'd do if someone tricked you into saving Selena, and she could be the closest person to you. ”
Cybertron never thought that the closest person around him would deceive him, the young man had deceived himself before, but he had never regarded the other party as his closest person, although there were not many people around him who cared, but the young man obviously had no way to join the ranks of the closest people and stroke the girl's hair. "No, it won't. ”
The lie will eventually be exposed, and one day it will be necessary to be honest, and Anna is quite guilty in her heart, and she lets go of the other person's arm. "Cybertron, because you've lost a lot of time, it's time for you to go back to Selena's rescue, don't waste too much time with me. ”
If Cybertron hates herself because of deception, Anna has no way to accept it, she can only separate from the paladin, at least she remembers the best time when she is separated, and when the other party knows that this is a scam, she should not come to her, and the two will never see each other, which is probably the best ending.
Cybertron affectionately took the girl into his arms. "No, there is no Selena now, she doesn't exist, it's just me and you, and my time belongs to you. "The paladin still wants to accompany the girl to the last journey of her life.
Anna couldn't bear it, pushed the paladin away, and got up with red eyes. "I'm sorry, Cybertron, I cheated on you, I'm not a good girl. ”
Cybertron did not understand the meaning of the girl's sudden words, and waited for the other party's answer.
"I'm not sick, it's just a hoax on my part. "Anna confesses everything about this scam and awaits the paladin's punishment.
Cybertron sat on the edge of the Trevi Fountain, looking at the girl, he had never thought that Anna's illness was all a hoax, and that night when he saw Downing enter his room, he had been guessing about the other party's intentions, and now he realized that it was just to let Anna keep it a secret for him.
So going to the East is also Anna's way to stall for time, Anna is not terminally ill, and he is the only one who has been kept in the dark from the beginning.
After a moment, a faint smile spread across his face. "It doesn't matter. A simple answer, the smile on his face did not show the slightest sign of anger.
Anna was a little surprised to see the paladin's reaction, no roaring, no movement, only a bland three-word answer, which made her heart even more tormented. "If you feel angry, you can vent it, I did something wrong in this matter, and I can accept any punishment. ”
Cybertron got up, walked over to the girl, took her back into his arms, and stroked her hair, still smiling on his face. "There are many kinds of lies, and you decided to continue the lie just so that I would not be hurt by Downing's lie, and no one would be angry with a good lie. ”
Anna was ready to lose the Paladin, but the result was completely different from what she had imagined, leaving her a little overwhelmed. "You're really not going to blame me?"
"Of course, if necessary, I will accompany you wherever you want to go until you are satisfied. Cybertron spoke calmly at the moment, not like he knew the truth.
"He promised me that as long as the Holy See is settled, he will take you to heaven, and you can find Selena. "Anna thinks that the paladin must have kept all his anger in his heart, which is not a good sign, and maybe he will do something unpredictable, such as killing the young man, if that is the case, the paladin will never be able to go to heaven.
"He should have told me that the Holy See is also my enemy, and that I can help. Cybertron complained lightly, "I hope it's too late to go back now." ”
The two immediately embarked on the way back, heading to the port and returning to the Eternal Continent by water, but Tang Ning had already reached the east at this moment.
