Lilith suddenly felt that she could wake up laughing from her dreams.
Magnus and Gul'dan both completed the questions they had given them, which were "nightmares" for the average alchemist.
Resolving an unknown potion is not a trivial task, especially if you don't know who made it, and there is a time limit.
Magnus did figure it out, and he let out all his excitement with a cheer at the last moment when the time was about to expire.
Of course, his answer was not wrong, as Lena had seen, and the research had turned out that it was an ordinary potion with complex ingredients, but it had no obvious effect. So he qualified, but......
It's just a passing grade.
And after half of the time, Gul'dan began to look at the bottle in a daze, that look was the same as encountering a problem, and even Lilith almost thought that this Gul'dan was just a child who didn't know anything, but also stubborn.
However, I was wrong.
I didn't draw conclusions on the spot, this is my usual method, and my face-to-face thinking and decision-making lack accuracy. However, just as he and Lucifer were about to leave, Gul'dan hurried up and stuffed himself with a letter.
Don't be a love letter...... At that time, I actually felt that it was a little fresh after a long time, and I hadn't received such a thing as a love letter for a long time. After opening the envelope, the contents were unexpected.
I'm afraid, in a sense. This is really a "love letter".
"Gul'dan figured it out. Lilith burned the letter on the fire. "This kid. It only took half the time to realize that the real effect of the potion was not the effect, but the opportunity. β
β...... So, bring him here?"
Lucifer's face was a little reluctant, and it could be seen that he didn't want to lure a "rival in love" into the room.
"Wait. β
It's been a few days since Gul'dan surprised her, and Lilith has gotten information that her "little daughter" is chasing her.
"I'm going to ask my daughter. Let's make a decision. β
I have already made a decision in my heart, so this is no longer an act of changing history. I just want to know what the answer my daughter has given me.
With Cecia's guidance, Lilith quickly found the location of her youngest daughter, whom Cecia had been following for a long time.
After waiting for the youngest daughter to scare "herself" away, Lilith quietly walked behind her.
"How? See who you used to be?"
It's kind of funny, Lilith suddenly thought. It would be interesting to put your two "little daughters" together.
β...... Not. Yes...... Why are you here?"
After a while, the youngest daughter's expression became stern, "You killed Rena?"
"It's not killing, it's just letting her sleep. β
That's right, just let her sleep, and if I could, I didn't want to let this mother get such a painful result.
Daughter, you forgot to judge, and began to blame your mother, who do you think is the most blameworthy of this matter?
"It's uglier than killing her! Do you know your ......?"
"Watch your words!"
"It's okay, Lucifer. After stopping Lucifer with her hand, Lilith looked a little lonely. "Of course I know what you said, and I originally wanted to give her a beautiful dream as a relief, but what I did was asked by Rena herself. β
Uncomfortable...... Of course, if you are hated by your little daughter like this, you will definitely be sad.
"What are you kidding......"
"Not kidding. β
After that, Lilith could no longer remember all of what her daughter had said to her, and what she had defended herself, and seemed to be far more joyful than the fact that her daughter had told her that Gul'dan was her last alchemist.
Yourself, did you do something wrong?
"Now, Lucifer, am I doing something wrong?"
The day passed in such a hurry, although he successfully coaxed the little daughter to the daughters' home, but the little daughter's angry eyes still did not disappear.
She was still blaming herself. Why, for what, for reasons that you couldn't have predicted?
But I'm just a witch, a daughter, your mother, not a god.
"No, Lilith, you didn't do anything wrong. β
Lucifer shook his head, "If I were you, I would have chosen to kill her." Only in this way can I believe that history can flow smoothly. β
I am not a god, and even if I am a god, I can't know the future.
I can only think about the next direction through my own judgment. The original plan, if the youngest daughter was not there, Lucifer would undoubtedly take Frey away and let her live alone, but it was disrupted because of the younger daughter.
So, what you can do is obvious. Myself, and I didn't do anything wrong.
But the youngest daughter's eyes clearly told herself that it was a mistake to kill Rena, and the youngest daughter had become much wiser, and it was impossible not to understand the reason for her actions, but to still resentful herself so much that it could only explain one thing.
Whether you kill Rena or not, it's the same result. Thinking deeper, Frey alone is not the key to historical development.
"Cecia!"
Lilith seemed to understand something, and muttered to herself, "What did she and Frey do after Lucifer left? No, can't you use that day to do what they've been doing since you observed them?"
"During the day, it seems to be playing, and at night it is basically in the room, but then things have changed. β
Cecia suddenly popped up from behind Lilith as usual, "Later, little Lilith seems to be teaching Frey astrology. β
...... Horoscope?
I know this kind of ethereal magic, and I know some of it, but why would my youngest daughter teach Frey such a thing?
It's not ordinary magic, isn't it...... Is her purpose to turn Frey into an astrologer?
"Lilith, did you notice the change the night ago?"
Cecia continued, "The other night, there were suddenly a lot of galaxies in the sky, and I went to explore them a little. β
β...... What is it?"
"It was the Heroic Spirit of the galaxy that was beginning to take shape, and at that time, Frey and little Lilith were doing astrological astrology, and little Lilith left Frey after that day. I'm afraid ......"
His daughter's purpose has been achieved, I'm afraid, is to make Frey an astrologer.
But even so, he didn't do anything wrong, Rena didn't die, how could that playful and naΓ―ve Frei have the patience to sit there and take an interest in the stars that ordinary people seem boring and abnormal?
History must still be walking at its own pace, and as long as it doesn't change its direction, it's not a big problem whether it's fast or slow.
That's right, there must be something wrong with her method, she can't be like Rena's thing, using clumsy methods to correct the mistakes made by her little daughter, and sometimes, as a future, she knows a lot more than she does.
She knows where history is changing, and she can only guess through her actions, and correct her mistakes when she may feel that she is going to make a mistake.
"What a worrying child. β
Lilith stood up helplessly, if she only used her own knowledge that she didn't need, she would definitely not be able to help her daughter.
I had some friendship with Loki's guy before, although I don't know if she has a way, so let's go and ask her.
"Lucifer, Chessia, you don't have to come along. Lilith said, "I'll go to the Demon Realm later, and talk to the young girl in the pajamas for a while." β
(Because there will inevitably be repetition from the mother's perspective and the pig's foot perspective, I will skip the large repetitive dialogue) (To be continued......)
