Chapter 16: Conjecture
Trevor Paganey did answer some of her questions through Atley's letters, but at the same time it caused her to have more questions.
Agnes rubbed her head with a little headache, folded the paper in her hand, set it aside, then took a piece of paper, picked up the pen and began to write. She was ready to write down the questions she felt could ask Trevor directly on a piece of paper to see if Trevor would actually answer her questions as seriously as he said.
.......
The morning at the Château de Anwa seems to be colder than in Seville, and the wild fruits picked from the trees are covered with a thin layer of frost. The most obvious sound in the entire castle is the sound of the wind burrowing into the cracks, giving people an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
It seems that it is more clearly felt here that it has been autumn for a long time.
Agnes went around after breakfast, probably because of the slight secrecy of the Pagani family, there were no other inhabitants around the castle, and it was as if it had been abandoned by the whole world, only the forest and wild beasts.
Of course, this doesn't seem strange to the extraordinary. A castle in the wilderness is buried with a family's secrets, which is very much in line with the novel's unfolding.
Agnes thought teasingly, opened the door and walked in. At a glance, she saw that the suit she had asked for from Atley the previous day was ironed and hung neatly on the coat rack, and a piece of paper was pressed with a pen on the desk.
Agnes nodded, walked over to her desk, picked up the piece of paper and began to read.
"Dear Lord Agnes,"
"You asked me why I was sure you didn't understand the contact, and I can tell you that this is an inference based on years of observation of your state. Of course, if you deliberately concealed this ability in your previous life, I would have gotten a false inference. ”
"You asked me what the members of the Pagani family paid for using the power He gave, and I can only tell you that everyone paid a different price."
"For example, after I use this power, I will constantly relive my nightmares, and I will clearly dream again and again the whole process of killing Shara; My father, the previous ruler of the Pagani family, was always immersed in the illusion of the ancestors of the Pagani family, and was constantly questioned by them. ”
"The Pagani family has always believed that what you will suffer will be your price."
"But that price seems to be a boost to our strength. We find that the more pain there is, the stronger the power gained, and the closer the woman in the dream gets, the closer she is to being harvested by Him. ”
"In a way, if the members of the Pagani family hadn't transformed the 'Beacon', they would have been at their strongest when they were about to be harvested by her."
"We think that the power we gain is more like empathizing with Him through our suffering, using that resonance to bring out His power. Our transformation into a 'beacon' is a kind of remedial that solidifies our strongest emotions with His pollution through occult means, and when we activate it, we only let that emotion begin to resonate with Him through His pollution, and then exert its power. ”
"His pollution is more like bringing our souls closer to Him, more easily resonating with Him, transmitting His power."
"That's part of why we call ourselves 'soul senders.'"
"On the second floor of the third row of bookshelves in the library there are some thoughts of the Pagani family on how to use the power he has given, I hope it can give you some reference."
"In addition, the answer to the question of how many non-Pagani 'soul senders' there are in your world can also be found in the library, and on the top floor of the fifth shelf, there is the information of non-Pagani 'soul senders' recorded by the Pagani family over the years, I hope it will be helpful to you."
Agnes thought for a moment, she put down the paper in her hand, and she was going to take a look at the library later.
Trevor's description gives Agnes a sense of déjà vu. The members of the Pagani family relied on their extreme emotions to empathize with Him and exert His power; And she can have some kind of irreverence with people who are in extreme emotions, and reach some kind of connection with each other.
It's just that she and the members of the Pagani family play a different role in the resonance: the Pagani family is in the main position in the resonance, and is the initiator of the resonance; And she is in the object position, a responder of resonance.
What does this mean? Agnes didn't dare to think about it, she had a vague suspicion about it, but she always had a sense of foreboding that she shouldn't delve into it now.
"Is it 'me'?" Agnes muttered something and put the paper away.
She walked over to the coat rack, took off the suit, and placed it on the bed. Atley seems to have taken into account the gradually cooler weather, and this outfit for her is obviously an autumn and winter outfit.
Long-sleeved off-white mercerized blouse, black leggings, gray plaid felt wide-brimmed hat, and brown leather boots. As for the long brown leather coat, Agnes made a visual inspection and expected it to reach her knees.
Agnes unbuttoned her headscarf and the nun's robe, took off the nun's robe, and put on the outfit. The nun's robe seemed to affect Atley's estimation of Agnes' size, and Agnes was slightly oversized, especially the shirt was a little loose. But the pants are just the right length.
She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned a little unpleasantly, the long leather coat looked like a wide cloak on her body, making her a little short.
"But this leather jacket has some pockets inside, which is convenient for carrying things."
Agnes took out the "Laugher's Mask" from her suitcase and put it on her face, the flesh and skin of the person in the mirror reshaping like a melted block of wax.
Not long after, a woman with brown hair and brown eyes, ruddy and heroic facial features, looked about twenty years old.
This is what she had previously prefigured in Seville would be as Ella Boyesia, a little older than Agnes Pagni.
Agnes moved casually, then picked up the hat she had set aside and put it on her head.
Brushing a handful of hair scattered over her shoulders, she took off her hat with some dissatisfaction.
"The shirt and pants are a little tight, and the hair should be tied up."
She set Ella's height to be 10cm taller than Agnes, and the pants that fit Angnes became cropped pants on Ella's body, and they were slightly tight.
And for an underdeveloped girl, a somewhat loose shirt, in a mature woman, a little tight, this should be the reason for the difference in the cut of the shirt between a girl and an adult woman.
"In a few days, go to the ready-to-wear store in town and see if there are any suitable shirts and pants for sale."
Agnes braided her loose hair into braids and put her hat back on.
"I think I'm right, Ella Poyecia is okay dressed like this."
