Chapter 483: Thunder
776
"Mr. Richard, this rain is making me feel chills all over my body."
Audrey sped up to keep up with Richard, who grabbed the rocks on the ground and turned them into an umbrella, standing in the middle of it, helping his subordinates and the doctor to block the rain. Audrey stretched out her hand from the area covered by the umbrella, touched the rain again, and couldn't help but say sadly:
"My spiritual perception and perception have weakened. There could be a fight next, and I don't know if I can help. β
Only under the umbrella could she feel her spiritual consciousness functioning normally, but once it spread out and came into contact with the heavy rain curtain, she didn't feel it at all.
Now the rain has become so frightening that it is almost like pouring water on the ground.
The torrential rain was pouring down, and the water in the ground was already two or three centimeters, and it gathered on the ground along the sloping street to form one rushing stream after another. There was a faint thunder in the sky, and it was not necessary to say who was beneficial to such an environment.
Since such a favorable scene has been arranged, then the gods should not be condescending to do anything to this small country......
Audrey looked up, and although her own perception could not penetrate the rain, she saw that Richard still looked left and right from time to time, reaching out to grab something in the air, and then several or a dozen finger-sized rag dolls appeared in her hands. He stuffed all the dolls into his pockets, and he caught hundreds of them along the way, but the pockets were not full.
Was it loaded in, or was it teleported somewhere else? The Prisoner Path seems to be very good at sealing and suppressing spirits, and it's not surprising that this pocket is something with a teleportation function, like a "traveler's backpack......
Audrey looked at it a few more times, but the thought of her imminent encounter with the Extraordinary of the Church of the God of Thunder made her trepidated.
The "psychiatrist" in Sequence 5 clenched her fists hard - she has strength, she has quite good strength, but she doesn't know if she still has the courage to throw her fists when facing the "authority" she has since childhood and ancient times.
The rain is getting heavier......
Hearing her words, Tawfik, who was already holding back a breath of anger, immediately couldn't get angry.
Richard, who was of mixed Fersak blood, was taller than both of them, but in order to prevent Miss Letty Orr, the smallest of the three, from getting caught in the rain, Richard pressed the umbrella almost above his head, which caused Tawfik to not move, and could only stand stiff shoulders.
The man had to bow his head under the umbrella, but his mouth did not bow his head:
"I said a long time ago that you would only add to the chaos if you stayed here!"
"Go back as soon as possible, and wait to be buried with the rest of us? Don't expect someone to collect your body! β
He thought that he had made a rather vicious curse, only the people of the Southern Continent gave the burial to the Northern Continent, how could there be nobles from the Northern Continent to accompany the inferior people of the Southern Continent to the burial!
It's going to make her humiliated and want to go home!
"I ......," Audrey said, wanting to say that she was indeed afraid, but she was afraid of death, not death with you.
Immediately afterwards, Tawfik was knocked on the back of the head lightly and heavily, and the Angel of Temperance said to Audrey unhurriedly: "I'm sorry, this kid is like this, he has a hard mouth when he is young, and he is still dead." He used to wear clothes, others said that he was wearing red, he had to say that he was wearing brown and gray, whoever said that he had to go back, and he fought several times, and later found out that this kid was born with red-green blindness. β
Tawfik thundered like five thunders, and his expression suddenly turned into an overflow.
His mask was broken, he threw it away, and now he wants to tear off a piece of his clothes and cover his face.
β¦β¦ Mr. Richard, you have a great ability to liven up the atmosphere...... Audrey's face was complicated, and she felt slightly embarrassed that she had heard a little secret that she didn't want to explore. And Richard casually led the two of them on, and added by the way:
"Later, drinking potions cured me."
The left and right did not answer, and the sound of rain echoed in their ears.
Richard seemed to casually ask Audrey, "Do you really want to stay here?" Honestly, I invited you to improve the mental state of the neurotics on our side, you don't have to be part of our fight. β
"Audrey, what is the purpose of your involvement? If you want to challenge yourself, you don't have to rush it, and you don't have to choose now. β
Well...... Richard knew that the child was an outlier among the nobility, but not so outliers.
With sufficient material conditions, people naturally begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction.
Obviously, the spiritual satisfaction pursued by Miss Audrey in front of her is not luxury, not gorgeous clothes and jewelry, not pomp, not waste, not status and power, but relatively simple and simple help and kindness. She is happy to do these things, good at doing these things, even if she can't let go of her body at first because of her own conditions, but she always accepts it quickly.
Richard's face was as usual, and he looked left and right.
"Three." He meditated in his heart.
He kept walking, and Tawfik noticed a few streaks of blood sliding past his feet by the rain, and soon disappeared.
ββ¦β¦ I want to see something with my own eyes. β
Audrey hesitated for a moment and said:
"To tell you the truth, I'm still scared, I'm so scared, Mr. Richard, I'm so scared that I'm really dying here, suddenly dying in my nap for no apparent reason, my mom and dad and my brother crying for me, my friends coming to my funeral."
And Susie, and everyone in the Tarot Society......
"I'm so scared I'll never see them again."
What does it feel like to die? Audrey didn't know and couldn't imagine it.
She is too young, even if she is an ordinary person, she has only just completed about a quarter of her life. Medical resources are tilted in her favor, and even in times of war, she can go to relatives in other countries to save her life...... She didn't need to think about it, but now she had to.
If she dies in divine punishment, she will definitely not be able to go to the kingdom of the goddess.
If she hadn't died in divine punishment, would she have been able to go to the kingdom of God in the future, and would she still be able to sleep with her father, mother, elders, and brothers?
Richard yawned and asked:
"Then why are you staying? It's still too late to leave, and if there is a fight in a while, you should know that thunder can cause near-lethal damage to spirits. β
Taufik left the group silently for a moment, and he followed the bloodstained guide and saw three Storm Church priests who had broken their necks. Their hands were clasped tightly around the sides of their temples, their necks were twisted a dozen times, and they were half a meter long, while their heads were facing inland, as if they had just arrived.
Tawfik opened his mouth to eat their spirits, erasing all traces of them, and then allowing the extraordinary properties to be accelerated and brought to his side.
"I think it's too dangerous for you to stay."
Richard said, "You should leave, leave immediately." β
While talking and laughing, Richard broke the neck of a Sage who had been unlucky enough to hit him, and dragged his hand forward, looking for a suitable place to dump his body. His fingers sank deep into the flesh of the deceased, causing the body to dry up so quickly that no blood could flow out. Audrey's spirituality was limited and she didn't notice what was at her feet.
Walk a little longer...... He thought, in a little while, bring that pope in. Share their pressure.
As a nobleman of Rune, she is willing to come to the colony, rather than taking it for granted that "the people of the Northern Continent have given this place civilization and civilization, jobs and modern construction", or treating the people here as livestock and beasts, which is already quite good.
Therefore, if such a person wants to go further, to feel the colonial system itself, to challenge his identity, there is no need to choose this dangerous moment.
Intellectually, Richard felt that it would be a pity for Audrey to die like this, and emotionally speaking, he would not mind taking her deeper into danger and then destroying her vessel at the most dangerous moment.
"There was just some hesitation, hesitation and confusion."
"It's normal, everyone will be like this until they really make up their minds, unless it's in front of principles and bottom lines, otherwise what is done to escape can be understood." Richard said calmly.
Audrey didn't respond directly to this topic, but said with a light smile:
"Ever since I became a 'spectator', I've always shown the most acceptable side of others and taken care of their most delicate emotions, which is not a bad thing, but then I can't know what my truest self looks like in the eyes of others, I can't uncover the gorgeous clothes, I can't see the rotting flesh hidden underneath, I can't figure out what the problem is.
"I've been trying to show my true state in some detail to see what the attitude of the people around me would be in the current situation, to see if they still think of me as the kind, kind, well-behaved young lady, or Dr. Letty Orr."
Tawfik returned quietly, as if he had never left.
At this, she was suddenly silent, and after a few seconds she sighed softly and said:
"The ...... of the chasm"
"Heavy ......"
"Stinging ......"
"Shame ......"
Richard listened quietly and did not comment on Miss Audrey's words.
ββ¦β¦ Rune's emperor, who failed to be promoted but did not die, may have a hostile relationship with the God of Thunder, who made the Pope the temporary emperor, but in fact ignored the choice of the next royal family, obviously intending to attack the original order of that emperor. β
Because He's thinking about something else.
He has not yet perceived the emergence of a strong person in the path of "judge" or "lawyer", that is, this should be a unilateral action of the god of thunder, emphasizing the majesty and power of the church, and has nothing to do with the secular order.
"Hehehehehehe, that emperor will definitely not let go of the colony...... Even if the divine and imperial powers are hostile, they still have common positions and interests......"
Audrey didn't ask for any feedback from the other party, just shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't see myself clearly, or I'm not sure that what I see is myself, show some details that I usually deliberately cover up and deliberately avoid, and see clearly what the real me looks like in the eyes of others." β
"All I can say is that my time as Dr. Letty Orr was a very happy time."
"I don't have to be bound by status, I don't have to be bound by etiquette and blood, it's okay to roll in the sand pit with the kids, it's okay to use some force against disobedient patients, there's no bodyguard to pull me away, no people say it's unruly."
After a pause, she moved the corners of her mouth with a smile and said:
"However, I can only maintain this status, because once I show my noble status, it will cause chaos."
"Also, well, my country is a little weak, which is probably why the gods are doing something here. I wanted to help others, but I just said that it was easy, and when I actually did it, I realized that I couldn't be as resolute and decisive as I imagined. β
"Some of them are my uncles and aunts, some are my cousins and cousins, some are friends I have known since I was a child, some are elders who take care of me very much, and some are very friendly people who can often meet at various banquets and various charity activities, they constitute my childhood, they have given me so much, they are part of my growth, and they carry my good memories of the past......"
"Moreover, none of the food they have accumulated has been looted, and their explanation actually has a certain degree of reasonableness."
Richard looked up, and the twine on Tawfik's wrist moved.
"This is really a bunch of bad relatives, can you tell me their names?" Richard asked with a smile.
Audrey shook her head decisively.
"I can't really do anything if I want to target them like this, try to deprive them of some of their wealth (and even give them their lives), at least for now."
As she said these words, Audrey's voice unconsciously became a little louder, as if she was arguing with someone.
She immediately noticed her little gaffe, and was silent for two seconds before continuing:
"So, I want to recognize myself more deeply, strip away the illusion of warmth, and ask myself what I really want under different gazes, whether my past thoughts are impulsive, hypocritical, naΓ―ve, or strong thoughts from the heart."
"That's why I haven't left yet, and if I did, I'd definitely miss out on a lot of things."
Speaking of this, "Justice" Audrey suddenly smiled:
"I used to feel like I was sticking to that 'you're just playing' rule, but now I realize that I'm almost addicted to acting."
"Unlike other ways that need to play the image of different identities and professions, part of the role of the 'audience' channel is completely integrated with one's usual daily life, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish clearly."
"The simplest example, who doesn't aspire to be loved by all? Therefore, when I face different people, I will wear different personality masks, and use the ability of the 'audience' approach to create an image that best meets the expectations of the other person. When there are more and more things like this, when you do it in front of everyone, you are actually addicted to 'playing' and are about to lose yourself. β
Audrey was silent for a while, and then said slowly:
"During this time, I have had a different experience of many things than before."
"Before the war, many poor people, workers and farmers lived a difficult life similar to today's, suffering from hunger and misery. The revision of the Poor Law, the mandatory regulations on working hours and the environment, and the control of air pollution have indeed brought some improvements, but only some ...... But after the end of the war, nothing changed. β
"When the war is over, if, if we don't change, will something like this happen again?"
As she spoke, Audrey pursed her lips and fell silent.
Richard exhaled lightly, and in the face of Audrey's confusion and confusion, he pondered for a moment, did not say the answer in his heart, and asked a little tactfully:
"Do you think these people are dead, will everyone have a good life?"
The thunder in the sky suddenly grew larger, as if a roar came from far and near.
Richard sneered, judged the direction, then looked at Audrey's sluggish expression, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled in a relaxed tone:
"Got it? You need to find the answers to these questions, including what you just said about your truest thoughts. β
"You've done a great job, and the prayers that happened in the hospital were more religious than in any church."
"Next, even if you go to work as a farmer, a pauper, or a wanderer, it is estimated that you will get a lot of negative feedback. But you want a solution, not a pile of despair. β
Audrey listened attentively, nodded earnestly and said:
"But I'll try to do it."
Very good. Then, Richard thought, he handed the umbrella to Tawfik and left Audrey under it.
"Since you are witnessing, you should not be involved in the battle of the angels." Richard said, "Take her to another town." Save as much as you can. β
"Forced repatriation when necessary, don't care about her thoughts."
TBC
ββββββ
As he spoke, Richard's figure disappeared from the physical world and appeared directly in the spirit world.
At first glance, he saw a magnificent triple crown, the second saw a middle-aged and elderly man with black hair who looked peaceful, and finally, he saw a red moon and stars hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was like a sickle.
"That's interesting." "Two hundred years ago, I could not have imagined that I would have such a big show. β
