Chapter 395: A Guy Called Russell
But then again, what's the value of that book?
Louise found nothing more strange than the fact that it was easy to be overlooked...... Well, in addition, with her current strength, she can't damage it, which may also be a big plus.
However, it just fell into Adam's eyes, which made Louise vigilant, and at the same time became a little troubled, in case that "wordless heavenly book" was really a magical item equivalent to a "0" level seal, wouldn't it be a big loss!
Think about it from another angle, the person who proposed the deal is Adam, the king of angels, can he still refuse?
Louise gathered her thoughts and asked curiously:
"What's the use of that book?"
Adam smiled, his clear and warm gaze falling lightly on Louise's face, and said:
"Does that matter?"
Louise was familiar to her, she had just heard the phrase, and the person who spoke was Hermes, who was also an angel in the "audience" way...... It is worthy of being in the same vein, and even the habit of speaking is almost the same.
She smiled politely, bowed slightly, and agreed:
"Everything is as you want it to be."
Adam's mood probably didn't fluctuate at all, but the corners of his mouth outlined a vague arc, stretched out his right hand as if to invite, turned around and took a step forward, and said as he walked:
"Now that the deal is struck, let's talk about you."
Louise couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds, and found that Adam did not stop and wait for her meaning, so she took two quick steps to chase after her, and said strangely:
"What are you talking about me?"
The two stand side by side, walking slowly but steadily, Adam is dressed in a priest's robe, and Louise is slightly bowed, showing a little humility and inquiry, and the picture is unusually harmonious.
From behind, the image looks like an old man and a young man chatting and walking, as well as a priest explaining the teachings to devout believers.
"Just talk about you as a person, Louise." Adam spoke kindly, without stopping.
Step by step, the two of them slowly walked into the depths of the hall, as if there was no end ahead.
…………
After a long time, Louise returned to the magnificent Hall of the Giants alone.
It's just that at this time, she frowned, and there was an indelible doubt on her face, as if she was thinking about the three philosophical questions:
"Who are you? Why here? What are you doing here? ”
In the hall, the discussion among the members of the "Dusk Hermit Society" was not over, and it seemed that they were talking about the core issue of profit distribution, and the atmosphere was more enthusiastic than before.
Louise's scrutinizing gaze quickly scanned over and suddenly spotted a familiar figure walking towards her.
His beard and hair were all white, and he was smiling and holding his hands, like the old man next door, an angel without the slightest majesty, Hermes.
Louise temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart, walked up quickly, and greeted:
"Lord Hermes, we meet again, and you lied to me before that you were just a guide!"
Hermes laughed twice and replied:
"Haven't I done my job as a guide?"
"How so?" Louise smiled brightly and complimented, "You are the best guide in the world. ”
Hermes waved his hand: "It's over, it's over." ”
Then He leaned slightly to the side, as if to invite:
"Let's talk?"
Louise looked flattered, and immediately replied:
"Absolutely."
Before she could make a move, Louise glanced back inexplicably, but found nothing, then met Hermes's gaze, smiled at each other, and walked away.
…………
In the Chapel of Bones, Adam stood under the tall cross in the center, his gaze facing forward, through the layers of obstacles, and landed on the backs of Louise and Hermes walking together.
Then He raised his right hand and grasped it lightly in the void, and a half-cut but very fresh ear of wheat appeared in his hand.
After a moment of silence, He spoke:
"The story is back on track."
As soon as the words fell, the half of the ears of wheat shook slightly, as if in response, but in the next second, the ears of wheat quickly withered, and the grains fell off one by one, but they disappeared completely before they landed.
Eventually, Adam's palms were empty.
He rarely folded his hands behind his back, and his gaze seemed to shoot into the distant unknowable, and whispered:
"Oh, mysterious."
…………
Hermes has been documented since the Second Age, creating the ancient Hermetian language that can communicate with nature and spirit, and can be called a living fossil level figure in the extraordinary world of human beings.
Unfortunately, in a sense, he can also be called a "tragic figure".
The angel who became the "audience" path early, but because of the existence of the "fantasy dragon", there was no way to continue to promote, and then although the "fantasy dragon" fell, the characteristics and uniqueness were taken away by the ancient sun god, and finally fell into the hands of Adam.
In this way, Hermes has been missing the opportunity to be promoted, and has been "stumbling" in the angel sequence for countless years.
It seems a little inappropriate to use the word "stumbling" for the angel in sequence two...... Louise corrected it silently, and all this was just her guess, and there was no evidence of it, it could only be regarded as a pastime of leisure time.
In short, the more you know, the more you think, especially if you don't have to deal with it.
Otherwise, if a random person is cranky in front of the angel of the "audience" path, then he should have changed another person unconsciously, without knowing it.
"You haven't answered my question yet?" Louise asked persistently.
Hermes seemed to have forgotten, and wondered:
"What's the problem?"
Although you look like an old man in my eyes now, it doesn't mean that your memory will fail...... Louise reluctantly explained:
"Before you led me to this Hall of Giants, you said that this hall was just my imagination, but you didn't say what you saw when you first came here?"
"Oh, that's the problem!" Hermes suddenly realized, and for a moment he thought for a moment, as if he were reminiscing, and as if he was distracted, and at last, looking into Louise's eyes, answered earnestly:
"I forgot."
Louise took a deep breath and said secretly, "I just can't beat you!" ”
She continued to maintain an elegant smile, automatically skipped the topic, and took the initiative to ask:
"Do you often make cameo appearances in the role of 'guide'?"
Hermes shook his head and said:
"No, you're the second."
Louise cooperated and asked, "Then who is the first one?" ”
Hermes was silent for a moment, and replied in a slightly complicated tone:
"A guy named Russell."
