(xxxi) Commissioned (Yuffie Steinmitz, II)
As a law wizard, mind control spells are indeed not what Yuffie is best at, but they are not something that Bell can fight with brute strength alone. www.biquge.info Even if Yuffie and Lin had taught him the ropes of fighting mind control, all the Belon people could do was to hold on for four or five more seconds.
The one-sided result instead inspired Bell's refusal to admit defeat. He tried again and again, and although each time he failed, he was at least able to keep his body from completely losing control. Therefore, at the end of the training, Yuffie gave Bale a rare good evaluation.
"It's been a lot of progress." "It seems that if you want to do it, you can still do it." Attacking teammates is about ...... It won't be that easy. β
"So, it was just an accident!" Bell said indignantly, apparently still minding about the incident, "And why would those ugly women target meβ"
"Because you look tastier." Lynn raised the corners of her mouth, "Or maybe it's because they've taken a liking to you." Which answer are you going to choose? β
ββ¦β¦ Don't choose either. The Beron man muttered dejectedly, "I don't want to see the ghost woman again in my life!" β
"Good luck then." Yuffie said lightly, "That's all for today, let's go eat." β
Bell's expression instantly became excited. The girl watched as the Beron people ran into the distance, blending into the night, and the smile on her face faded. A cool night breeze blew, and she shivered slightly, raised her hands to wrap her arms around her shoulders, turned her back, and exhaled silently.
At this moment, she suddenly didn't want her intuition to work.
The voice in her heart told her that everything she saw and participated in so far would involve her and the people around her in a grand historical drama. Being able to witness and participate in the transformation of history is fortunate for some people, but it also means that it is unfortunate for many more.
Because blood and fire will run through every change, and the road ahead will be full of thorns. And the cruel truth is that those who are in it will not be able to see the future clearly, nor will they be able to see themselves clearly. Perhaps until the last moment of their lives, they will not be able to know whether what they are doing has meaning or not.
Although I have always wanted to pursue the truth, when the truth lies in the darkness with an unknown attitude, I can't help but feel a little afraid. The girl smiled self-deprecatingly - sure enough, she was an ordinary human being, and when the ideal and reality were handed over, the uneasiness of ordinary people also existed for her.
She wasn't going to bother Lynn again. It's her own subject, and she has to find the answer and make a choice by herself.
She could just walk away and leave everything to Amberly, Mordilola, and the rest of the Erna who lived here. She can return to the academy with Lynn to study arcane spells, or travel across the ocean to another continent in the East. She can also teach her aspiring children about her mystical spells, or live in seclusion in a peaceful town and open a shop just for the two of them, selling the mystical items she makes and the various magical creatures that Lynn raises.
As for what will happen on the mainland, naturally someone will deal with and deal with it. They don't have to face history, and the course of the world doesn't change much because of the absence of two people. Heaven and earth are vast enough to be done, so why choose an uncertain path that may be full of pain and sorrow? It doesn't sound bad to live their lives in peace, forgetting about the fates that didn't belong to them.
Is that really what she wants, and is that what Lynn wants? Yuffie never considered herself an adventurer, and her caution as a witch made her always prioritize safety. Because of this, except for the attack on the Academy, she never voluntarily put herself in an unpredictable crisis.
Only by living can we continue to pursue the truth, which is the wizarding philosophy that Aaron's mentor repeatedly emphasized. However, there has never been a shortage of people in history who fought for their ideals and even sacrificed everything. What exactly is important to them?
She suddenly remembered a sad story that her mother had told her by the warm fireplace.
"A long, long time ago, when the earth was still a wilderness, there was a huge beast in the world, rampaging through the land, devouring everything according to its own desires. Afterward. The intolerable tribes fought a great battle with it, and eventually its body was reduced to seven pieces of great power, which merged into the rest of the earth.
Later, from these locations, huge spiritual veins were generated, and at the same time, seven symbols of different consciousnesses were born. Born of the fragments of giant beasts, they possess great power and are regarded as the spirits of the world. Some of them lived in peace, some lived in seclusion, some tried to conquer the land, some tried to save the people, but in the end, nothing was left. β
The mother paused for a moment, letting the young woman try to understand the story, and then continue to tell.
"A hundred years ago, in the barren far north, there was a girl whose goal was to make everyone on the earth smile. So she walked the world, and tried her best to use her strength to bring happiness to the people in every village and town. However, happiness is what she brings, and it will disappear when she is gone, and where she is not there, there is no happiness.
Finally, when the hearts of the people were in turmoil, the maiden shed the last drop of blood in the place where she was born, and in vain stretched out her hand into the air, trying to hold on to what did not exist. Today, all that remembers all this is the crying north wind. But even so, she was smiling. β
"Why...... Can it be like this? At that time, she couldn't understand what her mother wanted to express, but for some reason tears wet her cheeks, "This kind of thing...... It's so pathetic......"
The mother touched the top of her head comfortingly, and the warm and soft touch quickly soothed the inexplicable sentimentality in her heart. Maybe children are like this, slender and sensitive, but their emotions are changeable, just in the blink of an eye, they can pass the rain and the sky is clear-
And stories are just stories after all. Even if you can write down the plot, even if there is a real past behind it, with the change of time, after the world sings, all that remains is a few sighs.
"The world has always been merciless and unintentional, and only everyone who lives in the world has changed and left. Good people may not be happy, and evil people may not be rewarded, but even so, we will still move forward for what we are pursuing. The mother's voice was long and soft, "Why care about what happens after failure?" Isn't it a pleasure that I've done what I want to do? β
A soft voice sounded directly from her heart, and Yuffie reached into her arms to take out the gift of adulthood that her mother had given her.
What exactly are you looking for, can you understand now? My daughter. β
