Chapter 16: Elizabeth the Troubled
Elizabeth's godmother has taken on the role of both a mother and a close friend in her life, and that is probably the most charming woman a girl has ever seen since she was a child.
Even though her godmother doesn't manage everything like her father, she doesn't always find time to spend with the girl. But every time we say goodbye, the godmother can always guess the girl's careful thoughts and prepare a gift that fits her heart. Not only that, but as a visiting professor at the Royal Academy of Arts, this woman was often a guest at the salons of Paris, and her godmother once boasted that she could bring down half of Parisian high society if she wanted to.
"It can't be!" The girl retorted, after all, even if there are so many secret scandals, those "upper-class" people are very good at covering up their ugliness.
Her godmother just looked at her with a tolerant look in her eyes. Of course, such a look is not good for Elizabeth, and no one likes to be treated as a child who has not grown up.
"Lisa, as long as we know a person's motives, we can easily crush him if we grasp the weakest point of the wall." Her godmother's eyes were deep, and this sentence was not for the carefree girl in the future, people always liked to talk to themselves, and she would rather the girl never be useful to the scheming of power.
But that sentence still remained in the girl's mind, like a whale diving into the deep sea, and one day it surfaced.
"Why did you escape from Kassel?"
"No one wants to live in prison."
Elizabeth understood the flaws of her words and spirits, Chen Mo did not tell lies, some of the truths were not considered to be fakes, and not answering and answering questions was beyond her reach.
"You are a disciple of Flamel, the secret party will not refuse an alchemist, and you can even leave the front line of the dragon slaying battlefield in accordance with the law."
"Yes, that's right." He nodded: "I can graduate from the academy with peace of mind, and then get a good job in the equipment department or somewhere else, build alchemy weapons, and then one day the dragon king will wake up, and I will stay under Kassel like the rest of the academy, stay in a bunker that can't be destroyed by a nuclear strike, and wait for the dragon slayer added by Destiny, or simply a dragon, to destroy all the awakened dragon kings, and wait for the destruction of the world or the great victory of mankind." He chuckled faintly.
This does not sound very good, but it is much better than the possible ending of being cut into seven or eight pieces by the secret party or Gattuso's lackeys, and not even having a piece of monument.
"Let me ask a question." Chen Mo stood up, lay his hands on the table, and leaned forward slowly, "Wirther showed me your information--- Elisabeth Laurent, the pride of the sky, the only daughter of Mr. Georges Laurent, a top student in the art academy. If your father is saved and becomes the head of his house again, will you be able to go back and paint your paintings with peace of mind? ”
Elizabeth was stunned, she naturally knew her answer, how sad it would be for a person to want to see others clearly if he couldn't even see himself clearly. Not only that, but the rhythm of the conversation was once again in the hands of others.
Chen Mo replied on her behalf: "You can't go back to paint again, maybe you like to paint in the rare sunshine of London, who knows?" Even in the future, you will always keep your hobby, but you will not be able to continue to be your art student. ”
"The Dragon King is about to wake up."
"Whether it is the four monarchs or the black emperor, the first thing they do when they wake up is to kill the rebels, we have dragon blood in our bodies, humans will treat us as monsters, and the dragon king will only recognize us as ants to steal power. Half-breeds are things sandwiched between two sides, and the elders will study the bloodlines and collect the half-bloods of the world in order to send the dragon king to reincarnation instead of sending him to cocooning. They will be the first to deal with the dragons, and then the pure-blooded humans, and by then the half-bloods have usurped enough power for us to become the new dragons. Doesn't that sound tempting? ”
"It sounds disgusting." Elizabeth commented.
"yes, they call this kind of thing politics."
"So you're hoping to find your place in the presbytery's ambitions?"
"No, the grand picture of the future is not a matter of thinking about it now, and what you have to think about is not what I want, but how to get information about your father's life with less things from me later."
"You're damned." It was supposed to be a narrow word, but the girl didn't look embarrassed but smiled lightly, but the words didn't have a little smile.
Chen Mo looked at her smiling face, together with the black evening dress on her body, like a blooming flower, and her body was covered with thorns.
"So my goal should be to get what belongs to me and not be hacked to death by Gattuso, the Executive Department, and your people, instead of thinking about things further afield." He also responded with a smile and words.
In the end, Elizabeth left the hotel restaurant full of dissatisfaction, her purpose of testing the bottom line was not achieved, and there was a lot of information that disturbed her mind. In the end, it was not clear what Chen Mo wanted.
Compared with the troubled Miss Laurent, the young master of our Gattuso family has been a little restless in the past two days, the death of his mother is the biggest mystery in his heart, in his childhood memory, the woman who seems to have a transparent light lying quietly in the crystal coffin, as if she is asleep, her elders are celebrating the death of the Gulwig family, why are they celebrating? What did they do? Caesar knew nothing about all this, and Gattuso would grant almost all of his material requests, but could not give him the truth.
Knowing that the target of the trip was in the hotel where he lived, Caesar was not interested in going down the line with Patcy to find the answer.
It wasn't that he didn't think of putting the Desert Eagle on Chen Mo's head to ask about Gulveig, it was better to say that this was in line with Gattuso's fine family style, but he still dispelled this idea, in case of making a big move for Patsy to discover, his family would not allow him to explore the truth.
So Caesar began to try to focus on other things, such as the new city in front of him.
