Chapter 44: A Test of Will
Clarence was a little nervous when he heard Andy's question, and he grabbed the blonde boy in front of him with trembling hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info's sudden contact made Andy a little uncomfortable, he didn't know what the ancient soul wanted to do, and even felt that the rash inquiry just now had caused Clarence to fall into painful memories, which was his unintentional fault.
Andy flexed his fingers, but he didn't refuse the translucent hands. Clarence gripped Andy's palm tightly and slowly pulled it in front of him. As two huge eyeballs landed on Andy's hand, the Auston teenager was completely stunned.
Clarence felt the breath of the living expressionlessly, and when Andy's nervous snort approached the pair of eyeballs, the throbbing eyeballs suddenly stared directly at the blonde boy opposite. Andy was immediately attracted by these strange eyes, the deep pupils seemed to be full of all kinds of complex thoughts, maybe he wanted to get rid of Clarence's fallen eyeballs, but this ancient soul said loudly: "I am the clergyman in the Horn Desert, I am the great polymath Clarence." ”
For a moment, the beating eyeballs brought Andy into another dimension, where there was no desolation of the ancient soul, no strife in the world, only infinite tolerance and serenity. As the eyeballs in Andy's hands lit up, a surge of energy reached the dome, floating books dancing around him, and the rapidly flipped pages brought the obsessive teenager back to reality.
Andy didn't see any hint of hatred in Clarence's eyes, and he didn't understand how Clarence could so easily forgive those who had hurt him. He asked, "Why can you abandon hatred?"
Clarence smiled, "I used to curse those who hurt me in dark corners, but hatred didn't give me the courage to keep fighting, nor did it bring me any joy before I died. When I plunged into the depths of the sea with the Ghost Temple, the terrified Ancient Spirits did not listen to my persuasion and hid in the depths of the Abyss. Little did they know they would encounter Jacob, the vicious soul hunter who was chasing these ancient ghosts. I hid in the closed library and could still feel the miserable cries. When I was about to give up hope, Harris repaired the temple and protected it with the Pillar of Energy. I know that he did not make these sacrifices because of us who were being chased, but this selfless dedication gave me a taste of the power of forgiveness. As Dylan opened the doors of the library with a heart for nature, I finally found myself able to see not only my surroundings, but also everyone's heart. I'm ashamed that I'm still surrounded by a cold body, and I'm desperate to absorb the breath of the living, which is why I did those dirty things. ”
Andy sensed Clarence's sincerity, he looked at the ancient soul in front of him and said, "I would appreciate it if you would still teach me architecture and implantology." I don't take the past to heart. Clarence withdrew his eyes, he looked at Andy and asked, "I have been baptized by the magic of light, so I am willing to tell you the secrets of the greatest wealth and the fountain of eternal life in the vast continent, and I can even mark the location of these secrets for you on this parchment map with the royal sigil." Won't these favorable conditions discourage you from studying architecture and implantology?"
Andy looked at Clarence and said, "I don't think I have anything to do with protecting the dragon and the fountain of eternal life, maybe I had a very poor childhood, but I didn't change my mind during Rebecca's torment. Maybe those great riches could make me like Bishop, but I would lose the freedom of my soul and the true joy of my soul. I want to help the people of Bounier who are suffering, and not appear to them as a rewarder. ”
Clarence heard Andy's honest answer and said, "I really didn't expect you to pass the test of will, as a ghost I still have the greed of the living, but you actually gave up the clue of pursuing the fountain of eternal life for those who have nothing to do with you." ”
Before Clarence could finish speaking, there was a round of applause outside the library. Harris and Dylan led the untold Triste to Andy's side, and Dylan patted Andy on the shoulder and said, "You are not moved by the wealth of the vast continent, nor are you greedy for the fountain of eternal life, I think you are very suitable to start the next stage of study." ”
Trist walked to the alchemy book and said proudly, "Dylan has agreed to my request, and I can start studying, if there is more advanced knowledge than herbology, then I can ......." Andy looked at the ignorant Trist and said, "What can you do?" Trist smiled and said, "I won't tell you now." ”
Dylan, who was chatting happily in the library, suddenly felt a slight shaking of the temple, and he told Harris the information. The two of them hurried to the temple hall, and Dylan saw Achill spinning rapidly in the open space outside the temple, and the surrounding sand and gravel were swept up by the stone element and formed a huge vortex.
Harris watched as Little Naughty and his long-tongued woman sat next to Archer, staring intently at the shellfish piled up on the side of the Abyss, and the excited Achill kept shouting, "It's so delicious, I officially announce that the Abyss has become my territory." After saying that, the enchanted stone elemental changed its position and continued to dig a pit.
Seeing Achille's actions, Dylan shook his head helplessly and said, "I hope it doesn't turn its body into Jacob's mouth." Harris looked at the long-tongued woman and said, "I can only beg this Achill not to overfeed my mount, if she gets used to this quick way of eating, I don't have Archier's ability to make such a big meal every day." ”
Andy looked at the crazy spinning Archer and said, "You can't stop for a while, I'll be by you sooner or later." Achill came to Andy with a circle of gravel and said, "Master, this is my first meal, please don't stop me, you are about to disturb my good mood for the meal." As he spoke, Archer spun faster, and the entire Ghost Temple began to sink in a trembling state.
Dylan summoned the monsters, and the behemoths lifted the spinning Achill, and the stone elemental looked innocently at the tall monsters and said, "Oh, have you disturbed your rest? The monster threw the restless stone elemental out of the temple shield, and Andy looked at Dylan and said, "Is this really okay?" Dylan said, "Achill should be fine, but Jacob may be in trouble." ”
