Chapter 30: That's Good
Seeing Fiona's eyes roll rapidly, Agu knew she was shaken.
He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully distanced himself away from the arc of dark light in front of him.
"I still remember the bits and pieces that happened in those ten years, if you don't believe me, you can ask me. We were separated when you were fifteen, and after all this time, I couldn't have searched your father's soul temporarily, could I? ”
Fiona did ask a few questions, several of which were vague in her memory, but Agu could recall them quickly each time. It's like these memories often play over and over again in his mind.
"Then why did you leave when I was fifteen?"
"I borrowed your father's identity because I was running away from other people. And I left because my pursuers discovered my borrowed identity. If I don't leave, you'll be killed by my enemies too. ”
Fiona frowned when she heard this, she looked at Agu, who was completely unfamiliar, but she couldn't match him with her father in her memory, "Who is chasing you?" ”
Agu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "If I don't know myself, can you believe it?" ”
"Ridiculous!" Fiona immediately shouted.
"Nana." Agu looked at Fiona's face, which was no longer young, "I'm sorry, Dad didn't protect her." ”
Fiona's distrust that had resurfaced froze after hearing Agu's apology.
Many, many years had passed since her father left, and Fiona was no longer the helpless fifteen-year-old girl. After becoming an official wizard and joining the Stargate Council, she almost forgot her original sadness.
The only thing that hasn't been forgotten is the abomination of Facelings.
Because the person who rescued her said that her father, who had worked so hard to raise her, was killed by the Facelings. There are many people in this world who have also lost loved ones because of Facelings. Facelings, on the other hand, not only killed their loved ones, but also transformed into the faces of their loved ones, enjoying the good lives of others.
Over and over again, the brainwashing education made Fiona completely hate the Facelings, and even if she ruined her future, she would make the Facelings completely disappear from the world.
But who would have thought that her father, who had been dead for many years, was also a faceling.
Fiona's long-standing perception was so shocked that her chest heaved and heaved like a fish being dragged ashore.
"Fiona ......" Agu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Fiona.
"Don't talk. I want to be alone. ”
Despite her resistance, Fiona unraveled all the dark arcs that trapped Agu.
"You go first, I have to think about it, and when I think clearly, I will go to you."
Agu also knew that it would be difficult to convince Fiona of herself immediately, and her current performance was very unexpected.
"Okay." He naturally couldn't bear to watch Fiona in pain, and after the arc disappeared, he took the initiative to take a step back, "Then I'll go back first." If you want to find me, you can always go to the Byron's wizard's quarters. ”
Fiona lowered her head and did not respond to Agu.
Agu gave Fiona a deep look, then reluctantly turned to leave.
But at this moment, the door of the warehouse, which had just been closed by the witchcraft circle, was suddenly opened from the outside.
The light shone in, making Agu subconsciously shrink his eyes.
Then he saw a familiar face walk in.
Murrich's two telescope-like eyes shrank almost to the extreme. He first looked at Fiona, who was silent, before turning his head to Agu and smiling.
"Are you going back?"
Agu didn't have a good impression of Murrich, but since the other party was also a third-order wizard, he still nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Master Murrich."
"Well, I heard Fiona asked you here to learn more about the Facelings. This kid is sometimes impulsive, she didn't hurt you, did she? ”
"Nope. We've cleared up the misunderstanding, so please don't embarrass her. ”
Murridge smiled, but his eyes were still short, making Agu uncomfortable to look at.
"Of course not, Fiona is an important wizard to me."
As strange as this sounded, Agu had instantly risen to the worry of an old father, instinctively not wanting Murridge and Fiona to be alone.
"Then, Lord Murrich, can you get me out of here?"
"Of course!" Murridge didn't show any, "But I have a few questions for you. ”
When he heard Murrich say "but", Agu was already nervous, "You ask." ”
"Do you know anything about the other Facelings?"
Agu narrowed his eyes, Murridge meant, still trying to find traces of other Facelings for experiments.
Asking such a question in front of him without concealing it is obviously not really taking Agu seriously.
Despite the disgust in his heart, in order not to affect Fiona, Agu replied honestly, "I have been trapped in Lord Gorsa's wizarding tower since I left Iskeper, and I have only left with Master Thor in recent years. So I don't really know the whereabouts of any Facelings. ”
Murridge sighed in disappointment, "Looks like you really don't know." By the way, is there any way you can make it easier for us to find Iskepper's Facelings? ”
Agu still shook his head, don't say he didn't know, even if he knew, how could he tell the person in front of him?
"Oh well. It seems that there is really no way. Murridge strode towards Agu.
Agu was immediately alert, ready to send a signal to Thor.
Murridge, however, calmly walked around Agu and walked over to Fiona, "You hear you, there's really no other way for us to get a new Faceling now. ”
Fiona raised her head and said to Murrich with a guilty face, "I'm sorry sir, I'll think of other ways as soon as possible." ”
She didn't mention Agu again, afraid that Murrich would directly decide to loot Agu's soul.
Although she is still struggling with the news she suddenly gets, she has instinctively begun to protect Agu.
"I have a backup plan." Murridge's voice didn't rise or fall in the slightest, and he didn't seem to be angry at Fiona's loss.
Fiona was about to ask what it was, when she suddenly felt her vision suddenly rise a lot.
She seemed to be lifted up by tacit understanding, but she couldn't feel the presence of her body anymore.
She vaguely realized something, but instead of looking down to find her body, she used the last of her strength to raise her eyelids and glance at Agu who was standing in the doorway.
Agu turned his back to the light and couldn't see very clearly.
But such a vague outline suddenly reminded Fiona of memories that had been forgotten for decades.
The vague outline was so familiar, like when she was fifteen years old, her father left home to work, and she had just woken up in bed, rubbing her eyes and saying goodbye to him in a daze.
At that time, she seemed to see such a figure.
Fiona saw her father running towards her, as if to say......
"Nana, Daddy isn't going to work today."
That's nice.
"Ah!!!!h
Agu rushed up like crazy.
At this time, he had forgotten that he was only a second-order soul body, and he had also forgotten that the man opposite was a third-order wizard who was highly valued by Alik.
He just wanted to kill Murridge in front of him.
He's going to kill him!!
