Chapter 129: The Truth (I)
Rob took out a bottle of healing potion from his backpack and poured it into the old man's mouth.
A moment later the potion took effect, and the old woman in the chair opened her eyes, but there was nothing in the empty eye sockets, and her eyeballs had somehow disappeared.
"Mother Teresa?" asked the future Ultra Magister.
The old man nodded when he heard the voice, his expression a little puzzled, "...... Are you?"
Luo Luo had been waiting for too long at this moment, but when she really stood in front of the other party, she didn't feel the slightest joy in her heart, perhaps because the scene in front of her was too far from what she imagined, and she couldn't even appreciate the quick pass brought by revenge.
Mama Teresa looked old and frail, as if she could die at any moment.
She was like a tattered rag doll, with no intact place on her body, all relying on the divine tattoo under her body to support her life.
Luo Luo couldn't understand why the other party had become what he was now.
She used Elulia's trust to kill her, and then quietly left under the protection of the temple, evading the Crimson Sword's pursuers, and soon disappeared from the North, where no one knew her whereabouts for more than a decade.
She's like the best magician, playing with everyone.
Luo Luo never thought that the other party would fall into such a miserable situation when they met again.
The girl stood there and did not speak for a long time.
However, Mama Teresa seemed to sense something, and turned her head in the direction of the girl with difficulty, and hesitated, "Where is it......?" Is there anyone else?"
Luo Luo was silent for a long time and said, "You don't know me, I'm just here to ask you a few things." β
The old man shook his head, "I'm very old, and there are many things I can't remember anymore. β
"No, you must remember it. The girl took a deep breath, "Elulia, is this name familiar to you?"
"Of course, she was one of my students, my favorite student, and although we are not related by blood, she is like a daughter to me, and I know that as a convent grandmother, I should treat every child as equally as possible, but believe me, if you have met her, you will love her. Talking about Mama Elulia Theresa's face with a strange look, it made her dead and dry face appear with a touch of life, "Sincere, kind, pure...... She is like the embodiment of all the good things in the world, and every time I see her, I praise the gods from the bottom of my heart. β
Although Loro had never met Elulia, he had heard from many people about her mother, father, guards, knights, peasants in the fields...... Everyone's Elulia is different, but without exception, everyone sincerely likes that simple and kind little girl.
She is very gentle to everyone around her, even a small grass can't bear to hurt, who would have thought that someone would put a poisonous hand on her.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, Luo Luo looked at the old man, and finally asked the question that had been in her heart for more than ten years, "Why?"
Mama Teresa did not answer.
Lolo's right hand pressed against the elven sword named Fiassis, and took another step forward, "Tell me, why did you kill her!"
"I didn't hurt her. The old man shook his head.
"Impossible! Elulia was the only one who stayed with her before she died, and only you had a chance to do it, if it wasn't for you, why did you run away the day before the funeral, why didn't you meet with Crimson Sword and make everything clear?"
"I didn't run away, I was taken away. Mama Teresa sighed," Those people didn't want me to meet Karoff, and they were afraid that I would tell him what they knew, but you were right, in a sense that Elulia was killed by me, and the child had always trusted me, but I had failed to protect her, and I still don't know how they got it, and I spent almost all this time by her bedside, drinking the same water and eating the same things with her, and I would take a sip of every food that was brought in, keeping an eye on everyone who wanted to get close to her, and I thought that those people would not find a chance to do itγ β
"No, I don't believe it, you must have said that you were afraid that someone would avenge her!" Luo Luo's heart was already in turmoil.
The old man smiled, "Child, do you think I am like a person who is afraid of death now?"
Indeed, it was not so much the divine pattern under her body that kept her alive as it was to maintain her punishment, and she couldn't help but lose her eyes, half of her hip bones and more than half of her toes, and the four iron nails were firmly embedded in her limbs, and death was more like a relief for her.
His Excellency the Future Superior Magister, who had been listening quietly from the sidelines, also spoke at this time, "What she said should be true, Konstantin also said before that she came here more than ten years ago, and if you calculate the time, it should be that after Elulia was killed, she was captured and imprisoned here, which also explains why Karoff has never found her whereabouts for the next ten years." β
Before pushing open the iron door, Lolo was so focused on how to avenge Elulia that she ignored many things, until she listened to Rob's words, she realized that the other party had been here for more than ten years, in other words, she had endured unimaginable torture for more than ten years.
"Don't feel sorry for me, kid, I deserve it, I knew there would be a day when I turned those people down. The old lady looked calm.
"Who are those people, why did they kill Eluria, and why did they do such a thing to you. β
Instead of answering the girl's question, Mama Teresa asked, "Son, do you know what the name Hatfilia means?"
Luo Luo was stunned, "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes, Elulia is my daughter, and how could I not recognize her child. There was a hint of kindness on the old man's thin and pale face, "I chose this name for you, when I was discussing the child in her womb with Eluria, and your mother said that she wanted your life to be ordinary and carefree, and in the ancient Vitro language Hatfilia means that there is no sorrow." β
The girl understood what the old man meant, shook her head and said, "My mother was gone when she gave birth to me, and my father disappeared a few years ago, he was to investigate what happened to my mother back then, I can't pretend that nothing happened to me and deceive myself, you are one of the witnesses of that incident, I hope you can tell me the truth." β
