Chapter 137: White Quartz's Invitation
Judging by the light of day, it was about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, but perhaps it was the knowledge of the summer withered grass that the scene before him was nothing more than a conjugation of the Arena of Judgment, so he did not feel hungry, but felt a little sleepy in the shadow of the dilapidated church dome above his head in the shadow of the sunlight cast, and could not help yawning deeply.
He would not admit that the reason why he felt this way had something to do with the friends around him—although they seemed to be snuggling up to each other and warming each other from a distance, but even so, he only admitted at most that he was only infected with the other's laziness because of being too close to the other person's convenience, not because of some trust and the sharing of trust, and still less because of this warmth and the word 'good' that came out of the other person's mouth, and his mind was inevitably tired.
-- Because that would be too literary and too pretentious, it would not apply to each other.
......
......
The white quartz on the side of the prunella grass was silent for a long time after making that decision, and then said: "The matter on my side is very complicated, and for some extremely cliché reasons, I can't tell you all the secrets, so you wait for me first." ”
Saying this, Bai Quartz's face gradually appeared an extremely complicated look, he inevitably recalled a lot of past events that happened a long time ago, but these past events were too sad or too dramatic, so he didn't want to reminisce in detail at all, so it wasn't until a long time passed that he asked himself a little vaguely: "How many years?"
"Right...... It's been five years. Bai Quartz raised his hand and gestured to five words, and then continued: "When I was twelve years old, something happened. ”
Bai Quartz's words were extremely vague, but Xia Kucao did not ask, because although that matter was also a secret, it was a private thing buried deep in his heart, and it had nothing to do with him, so it was not worth mentioning or asking.
So Bai Quartz skipped that paragraph and continued: "After that, I lost hope in many things, such as my people and the friends I made at that time, but other than that, I became disgusted with my own incompetence and ease of giving up. ”
"I came from a blue-blooded aristocracy, so my parents were very different from ordinary people, and I didn't get much love at the age of twelve, and they thought that the choice was right, so after a while, I went into exile from my family. ”
Bai Quartz's eyes calmly looked directly at the shadows under his feet, and the peach blossom eyes that used to smile in the past and didn't know how many girls and young women had been killed looked extremely gloomy, and then he smiled leisurely and commented: "Now that I think about it, this is really not enough." ”
"At that time, my family let me go - where could a twelve-year-old child go? It's a pity that they didn't understand how stubborn a child who always looked at things mainly by emotion could be driven by emotion, so even though I knew that if I bowed my head a little, the clan would take me back into my arms, but I wandered away for a few days. ”
And then ...... I met a man. ”
Bai Quartz turned his head to look at the prunella grass beside him, and said in an extremely serious and serious tone: "A person who does not matter realm, resourcefulness, courage or responsibility...... They're all such wonderful people. ”
Prunella looked back very seriously and commented, "That's good." ”
"yes...... That's really good. ”
White Quartz slowly turned his head and smiled slightly—the smile was extremely dim.
"It's a pity he died. ”
Xia Kucao could see the heaviness and sadness in her friend's eyes, but she could only be silent for a while.
"I was aware of his greatness at the first time I met him, and he did show me a lot of things when he took care of me, and he talked with great interest and unscrupulous in front of me, a blue-blooded nobleman, and even insisted on inviting me to join the organization he inherited, despite the fact that I was only twelve years old at the time. ”
"It's incredible. Bai Quartz's expression was calm, but he was very touched in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile lightly: " The nobles are indeed very dirty, and there are indeed a lot of wine bags and rice bags, but after being a blue-blooded nobleman, even if I was only twelve years old, I was already at the beginning of my appearance at that time, but I was only twelve years old at that time, I was still a child, and even my personality was uncertain, but he dared to pull me, an enemy of the class, to join his organization, and he was far from seeing the class and status I was in, and he only wanted to overthrow the big man who stood higher. ”
"It's a pity that he dares to think so, and he dares to do this, but I ...... But I didn't dare. ”
Bai Quartz laughed at himself, and then said: "Although I was self-loathing and self-exiled at that time, I had some self-destructive tendencies, but after all, I was young, and I was just a little cold and misanthropic, how could I dare to really break out of the door without any doubts like now and do something to my foundation?"
"No—even in my most chaotic and confused days, I was just world-weary and never had a thought as bold as his. ”
So I didn't dare, so I turned him down, so when he died, when I learned the cause of his death, I regretted it exceedingly. ”
"You must know that I was only a self-exiled from my family, but I had indeed severed all ties with the past, so that in the days between my absence from him and the time before I heard of his death, I was extremely miserable, and I was not able to make any friends. ”
"And though he failed to win me in, and I never treated him for long, his words ...... It still leaves a shadow in my heart. ”
"So after I left him, I began to verify what he had said, and began to find out what had happened to me in the first place—was it really what he said?
Bai Quartz sniffled slightly, then shook his head calmly, "That's right, I couldn't find anything at that time, but what I couldn't find was only evidence-I was a blue-blooded nobleman-I knew a lot of strange things, and the knowledge and the information I obtained in the past in the clan through fragmentary coincidences made me far from being an ordinary person of my age at that time. And I knew what he wanted to do, and he could smell some of the anomalies in various places, so even if I couldn't be sure of anything at that time, I already had a faint idea in my heart. ”
"It still takes some support to turn these ideas into action, and there are only two paths before me – to return to my family, or to return to him. ”
"I chose the second one. After a moment's pause, Bai Quartz said this, and then he smiled softly and sighed: "It's a pity that he is already dead before I can leave." ”
"As I said, I had cut off all ties with the past and didn't make any friends, so I really cared about half of my friends and half of my elders outside of my family at that time...... It's just him, and because I have so few friends, there's no one missing. ”
"But I'm missing...... So when I learned of his death, I didn't go back to the clan to verify my thoughts, but went back to the organization first to find out the cause of his death. ”
"I quickly found the Order--Isn't it??That guy just spoke to me and sketched some blueprints, who would have thought that he would dare to tell me about the Order's secret stronghold like a funny toy without a penny of discount--Unfortunately, the members of the organization at the time were also unbelievable, so my rash visit to the door did not end well. ”
"It's just that since I can talk to you now, I naturally didn't die at that time - the leader of the organization is newly mourned, in order to improve morale or engage in some mourning to win, the organization has implemented the suicide note updated by the leader from time to time, and fortunately, my name is also on that piece of paper. ”
"So even if the members of the organization were puzzled, they had to tell me the reason for the leader's death according to the contents of the suicide note, and after that, they were unwilling to let me leave on my own. ”
"But I didn't go. ”
Bai Quartz smiled slightly and said, "Although this is difficult, and you may not understand it, I chose to stay after thinking about it for a few days. ”
......
......
Xia Kucao rubbed her face in some silence - Bai Quartz's words had stopped, and there was not much revealed in his story - there were no specific names of people or organizations, no specific things or that, and no explanation for Ao Dongling's reminder that Xia Kucao should be careful with him, but even so, he still revealed a lot.
There will not be a few big people who can exist higher than the blue-blooded nobles in the entire Codex Country or even the entire continent, and the organization that has the ability to target those big people will inevitably have a lot of origins, but Xia Kucao has never cared about the current political situation and cannot judge - if it is replaced by Hai Jinsha, he must be able to guess a thing or two.
But Prunella didn't care, for the question between them was over long before White Quartz was willing to share it with him, and whatever the content of the words that followed, it didn't matter—except for the last one.
"The reason why I have started these things from the beginning, rather than simply going through them, is not to influence you in any way, but rather to the more practical reasons and explanations, these vague and emotional words are undoubtedly more suitable for the reasons why I have chosen to share my secret with you, and that is what I can reveal to you, and as to the reasons for my change of position and what has happened in the days of reflection that has caused my change of position - the reasons for which I cannot tell you unless you join us. ”
"Finally - I know you have no affection for the nobility, but unlike the example you have given - there are no pyramids in this world as far as I know, and I don't care where you heard it, but it is not only the commoners, the nobles, who are oppressed at the bottom, but the nobles. Even the blue-blooded nobles have many things that they can't do about it, and I am only fortunate enough to discover the deformities that cause them, and as a victim of those deviants, I am also fortunate to have the determination to do something to change something, and as for you and me, I cannot guarantee that there will be no contradictions and conflicts, so in order to avoid them, I hereby solemnly invite...... Your joining. ”
(This chapter is written in a 'brush-brush' manner, and if you write it with some excitement, you will probably be a little wrong and want to change it - but this chapter is an introduction or a display of the worldview opened by the main line, so I will find a time to change it slowly and better express what I want to express, so ...... That's it for today. )
