Chapter 27: Comfort
"Virgil, you weren't sent to the Holy Hell?" asked Yuri in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"Not really. Later, the place where I was placed under house arrest was the sanatorium of the headquarters of the Knights of the Grand Templar of the Royal Capital. There were many lovely priestesses, and gentle nurses, and even the gardens and decorations were more beautiful and elaborate than all the buildings I had seen before. Virgie replied with a smile.
"What's going on? Aren't you convicted of war crimes?"
"This is because a military advisor who can bring victory, even if it is a war criminal, still has its usefulness. In other words, a living war criminal with extraordinary intelligence is more worthy of protection than the dignity of the law. β
Virgie smiled lightly and said, "So I knew before you that the laws of the Order of Light are not trustworthy at all." β
Yuri had a sore throat, he never expected Virgi to have such an experience, and he couldn't imagine how Virgil survived that period of time in house arrest in a nursing home.
Indeed, those days seemed to Virgil to be a false paradise, a real hell.
The screams of the victims kept in their ears day and night, and the wind blew the pure white curtains, as if it were the woman whose husband had been killed, dressed in a white dress, and pounced on her own figure. Even the delicate steak smells of a shattered corpse.
Feeling like she was about to fall into madness, she was burdened with sins but could not atone for them, but she was still well cared for, and after a long period of insomnia, Virgi would see hallucinations during the day, the red floor would turn into scorched earth, and the gushing spring water would turn into blood, and Virgi was sure that the place that would treat sinners well was hell, and this was the real hell.
From lucid to hallucinating, and from hallucinating to lucidity, Virgy went through more than a dozen of these back and forth, and finally grabbed the other party's collar angrily when the Grand Knight Captain came to visit.
"Why don't you kill me!"
"Child, I want you to contribute your strategy to the light and sweep away the remnants of darkness for the continent. β
"But I committed a capital crime!"
"On behalf of the God of Light, I forgive you for your sins, for you have destroyed more of the remnant of darkness than innocent people have died because of you. β
Can it still be calculated like that!, Virgie sat on the ground in shock.
"No, I'm not going to give any more advice, I'm not going to kill anyone again!"
"You're just sick, kid. And I hope you get well soon. Miss Nurse, let this patient rest. β
Every day is a fine food and clothing, and every day is taken care of in the best way. But Virgy knew he had made a big mistake and just wanted to wait for an encounter with death. The fine food that was kept in the room until it was moldy and hairy, and Virgil would not take a bite. He shut himself in his room, watched the sun and the moonlight alternate, listened to the incessant night rain during the long rainy season, and was so weak that he could not sit up, and finally collapsed on the bed.
Priests came and went, many of the clergy responsible for healing the soul also returned in vain, and Virgi was indeed about to die of hunger strike, but on a sunny day after the rain, she was the one who came.
She sat by Vicky's window, leisurely crossed her legs, grabbed the apple on the plate next to her, and lifted her blonde hair, which was as smooth as a golden waterfall, behind her, and her relaxed tone carried a hint of lively and coquettishness.
"It's all good food, and you don't want to waste it. β
She turned around and turned the apple in her hand with a smile: "If our native dog boy Yuri has three times as much lunch next to your bed, he can eat it all, it's super powerful." β
"May I ask ...... you," Virgi asked feebly.
"My name is Qiao Luya, and I have adopted a child about your age. The child's name was Yuri, and he was so thin when he first came to me, but he quickly became very strong. I have to say that I am quite talented in raising children. β
Miss Qiao Luya picked up another apple and handed it over kindly: "So be good, obedient, and eat an apple." β
Of course, Virgy just stubbornly turned his head away.
"It's really willful, come on and give me the knife, and I'll peel off the apple for you." β
After a few seconds, Miss Qiao Luya smiled and patted her head again and said, "I'm such a fool, if you had a knife, you would have used it to kill yourself, right?
Virgie was stunned, this beautiful blonde sister, talked about suicide in such a relaxed tone?
What a weirdo.
Miss Joluya's oddities don't stop there. First of all, she would come every day, complaining about why the Order had given her the task of persuading Virgy to eat, and while grabbing the food around her and munching on it, it was very sweet. Virgil's already firm will began to waver, because Miss Qiao Luya's eating appearance was too appetizing.
"Hey, why do you come here every day to eat?"
"What's the matter if you don't eat it? Besides, I haven't eaten something so expensive for many years, and the main sanatorium is really something that only a powerful man can enjoy. Although I am a Seven Holy Horseman, that meager salary is enough just to raise Yuri and drink alcohol, so you just let me eat a little. β
Virgi is speechless, when will I not let you eat......
"This soufflΓ© is superb! This beef patty is so delicious that it makes me cry! I'm going to be a fan of this bacon and asparagus roll! Virgil, do you have any wine? preferably red wine. β
"Sister, are you looking for a hunger striker to ask for red wine?" Virgil felt broken.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I accidentally forgot about it. Yuri is the same age as you, and he and I will always fight for food, and it will become natural for a long time to get used to it. β
Virgie was speechless.
"It's better for a child to be a little thicker, Yuri, this kid, never has any sorrow, the biggest worry is that he can't beat others, but even if he loses the battle, he will come back the next day and carry a stick to find trouble. Although he doesn't have a very bright brain, as a guardian, I still prefer that the child doesn't need to be smart, and that he is as strong as a dog like Yuri. β
Virgy smiled wryly, "But no one cares what becomes of me." β
Miss Qiao Luya stretched out her index finger and tapped it lightly on Virgie's forehead: "Maybe I'll care." β
Taking advantage of the moment when Virgy's heart was in turmoil, Miss Qiao Luya smiled slightly and left the room straight.
Virgie didn't want to admit that the deep black shell that shrouded his soul had been shone by Miss Jolua's light, and she gently peeled open a hole that shone through the light, but it was.
A person who is dying should not have an emotion called jealousy towards another peer.
And even less when Miss Qiao Luya repeated about Yuri's daily life, she shouted out in a frustration: "What the hell is going on with you! Why do you keep talking to this guy named Yuri in front of me! His affairs have nothing to do with me! Since you were sent by the Order to persuade me not to commit suicide by hunger strike, you should preach to me, just like the priests before you! Tell me that sinful people can be atoned for their sins as long as they face the light with all their hearts and devote their lives to the god of light!"
"Or ...... Does it matter?" said Miss Qiao Luya in a whisper.
"What does it matter!" Virgil erupted in great rage.
"Yuri is strong but brave and unscrupulous, and Virgy is wise but too delicate, and the two of them complement each other together. Kids, I'll adopt one, or two, and it's all the same. And Virgy is so good-looking, so kind and considerate, and presumably you will be able to earn a high salary in the future, and you will definitely be able to subsidize the family. If one day, Yuri has to go on a journey alone, with you as his companion, I can rest assured. β
Virgy clenched his fists and shouted, "Strange sister, what the hell are you talking about!"
"It's not a mess, that's what I really thought. β
Virgil's already cold veins flowed through the raging heat again, though for a moment it took the form of anger.
"What do you think of me, a boring child?" Virgie slammed the plate on the table to the ground, "Don't forget that I'm a sinner! I'm a war criminal who took countless innocent lives with my own hands! Even if the God of Light could forgive me, I wouldn't forgive myself!"
"That's not right. In my eyes, you're just another kind child. β
Virgie slammed into his body.
"True sinners do not repent and torture themselves, but only become complacent about their evil deeds. And Virgil, I know very well that if you had known that things were going to turn out like this, even if you were asked a hundred times if you wanted to use such a strategy, your answer would never have been. So in my opinion, you are not a sinner, just a gentle child who wants to do things well. Even more gentle than other children, they want to help others. β
Virgy began to sobbed involuntarily.
"Since I'm not a sinner, of course I'll have to treat you as a friend. Conversations between friends can't always be preaching, right? Besides, I can't memorize the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, so I have to do a lot of work. If you hate that I always mention Yuri, then start tomorrow and talk to me about your past. β
Miss Giorgio left the room, and Vicky was surprised to findβ
I haven't eaten or drunk for so many days.
But he still has the strength to cry loudly.
