Chapter Seventy-Five: Have You Two Ever Formed a Band?
Janis turned around when she heard the voice, and saw Ivus, who was riding on top of the unicorn and being held in the arms of Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
Her expression suddenly became a little strange beyond words.
She bowed slightly, stroked her chest with her right hand, and saluted the Holy Maiden of Grey above the unicorn: "Your Highness, Holy Maiden, I haven't seen you for a long time. May the candle shelter you. ”
"May the candle protect you. Long time no see, Janis. ”
Grey smiled and said softly, "Just call me Grey." ”
This is the real name of "pure white" - theoretically, not many people should know about it.
"Then ...... Grey. ”
Janis lifted her hat and tugged at the front of it slightly. As if subconsciously wanting to cover his face with it: "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine."
Grey stared at Janis, her right hand on her chest.
She lowered her voice and said very seriously, "But I miss you so much." ”
Janis clearly realized something. She let out a meaningless moan, reaching out to cover her forehead as if she was pretending to have a headache, so as to cover her face with the back of her hand.
But her cheeks were a little red, even spreading to the tips of her ears.
Oh no.
It was the first time that Ivas had seen Janis who was as free as the wind and had this kind of reaction.
He raised his eyebrows, and his whole person suddenly became energetic.
Did the two of them know each other?
And it seems that this attitude ...... It seems like......
Ivus pondered in silence for a moment, and came up with a subtle description:
- It's like the two of you formed a band when you were kids.
Originally, he watched Janis stand motionless, and even hallucinated her as a sculpture for a moment.
Just now, Ivas was a little worried, if Janis had been here for a long time, would he have been condensing...... But now it seems that there should be no need to worry.
It's not just Ivas who hears this.
Although the Pure White Saint lowered her voice, she was at least five meters away from Janis. At this distance, if Janis could hear it, the three people around her could hear it too.
Sherlock and Lily next to them both brushed it and looked at it.
Fortunately, there were no other elves around, and there were only these acquaintances nearby. Janis took a deep breath and adjusted back.
She tilted her head, reached out and stroked the hair that fell from her ear, and smiled as cheerful as usual: "Indeed, Grey...... We haven't seen each other in more than 200 years. ”
"One hundred and ninety-five years. It's less than two hundred years, and you're mistaken. ”
The pure white saint replied, stretching out her hand to the sculpture: "1704 Bettinatia Master Ningpo...... Since then you have left the church. ”
Hearing this, Ivus subconsciously looked at the statue in front of Janis.
It was an elf dressed as a painter. She didn't look much older than Yanis, in her early thirties.
It's different from the fashionable, casual and carefree style of Janis's dressing style...... The elf was dressed in a short dress, her hair curled up high, and her slender neck was exposed.
Her face was beautiful and gentle, and there was a concentration in her lowered eyes that slowed down time. If she wasn't holding a paintbrush in her right hand, she might even think she was holding a spoon and feeding her child.
Her crystal clear sculpture takes on a beautiful yellow-green color, like a faint yellow salt, that suddenly falls from a high altitude into the emerald green lake. While sinking, it melts and decomposes. Eventually, the left and right areas of her chest and abdomen completely melted, turning into a mass of flowers that spread like tentacles.
"It's like potassium manganate crystals melting into water...... Is it related to the path? ”
Sherlock had a serious expression and muttered in a low voice, "The two paths are blended together...... Why did you get this color......
Lily, who was on the side, patted his arm lightly and motioned for him not to say anything.
Ivus, on the other hand, looked at the sign underneath the sculpture.
Bettinatia Blossoms, 1388-1704, five months of condensation due to the breakthrough of her painting skills
He realized...... This is the equivalent of the burial ground of the elves who have condensed the am.
The essence of condensation is spiritualization. The so-called amber refers to the amber that is wrapped in insects and other life.
Once solidified, it means entering a state of neither life nor death.
The soul has not entered the dream realm, let alone been reincarnated—the soul is still in the body. Therefore, the spirit of the spirit also refers to the soul that is solidified in their body.
The elves who were condensed seemed to have entered a long sleep. They still have a little sense of the outside world, but the perception of time will become very long, even if it is hundreds of years, it is only a flick of the fingers. For this reason, it must be inhumane to kill or destroy them directly...... I had to find a place to store them.
The thirteenth ring, just right.
…… She's not even four hundred years old.
It's so young. Ivus sighed silently.
Even if Bettinatia is still alive now, she is not much older than Janis.
- Janis is now older than her teacher was when she was a teacher.
Is this a young genius of the elf race?
But it took less than five months from the first onset of coagulation to death. This speed is relatively fast even in cancer......
Thinking of this, Ivas glanced back at the pure white saintess with some concern.
Although, according to the game, Grey's condition seems to have stabilized eventually.
But now the situation is different, and it is not easy to say that she will definitely recover...... And Ivus had no idea why she was condensed.
It's a heart disease - just for elves, a heart disease can destroy their bodies.
At this time, Gray did not look down at Ivus.
She just looked at Janis and said softly, "You must still remember the day when Master Bettinatia was borne. So why do you forget the time we parted?
"Or did you forget...... Did I see you off the day you left? ”
"Imaginary fingers, imaginary fingers...... It's like a year......"
Yanis was about to break out in a cold sweat, and said hesitantly: "Because I miss you, I subconsciously counted a few more years." This is...... This is an exaggeration......"
"—You've been back to the church three times."
Gray interrupted Janis.
She rode on the unicorn, subconsciously grabbed Ivus's shoulder, and stared at Janis with a calmer expression: "Why didn't you come to see me?" ”
"I've actually seen you...... Glance at it from afar...... Well, more than one glance, I've been following you for a long time......"
"—Do you think I'm going to forget you? Why don't you come and meet me? ”
"I think ...... Uh, you're probably going to be busy......"
"One hundred and ninety-five years. In terms of human lifespan, five generations have already been sent away. One hundred and ninety-five years ago, both the Duchy of Narcissus and the Duchy of Black Hawk were independent states; One hundred and ninety-five years ago, Lloyd's was just founded; One hundred and ninety-five years ago, the goblins had not yet started trading in trolls, and the third water war of the good lords had not yet broken out. ”
Grey interrupted again, calmly and solemnly, "This is longer than we grew up together. ”
Janis wanted to explain, but she struggled for a moment, sighed decadently, bowed her head, and said, "Yes...... Sorry Grey. ”
- This is the first time Iwass has seen Master Janis look so embarrassed.
This camera is good, and he was always handsome when he was in Avalon. He never walks through the door, he basically walks through the painting, as if he knows all the secrets, and always has an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.
That's a real reliable old-timer. Even in front of Queen Sophia, she can always maintain a fairly high posture.
When she left Avalon, it was a free and free one. That romantic and reliable temperament even touched Ivas and Isabel.
How much I admired her back then, and now after the filter is broken, I feel how embarrassed she is now.
It turns out that Yanis and the pure white saintess are childhood sweethearts for more than 100 years...... No wonder Isabel was able to reach her, and no wonder she was the one who came to her when she fled in the original game......
This is indeed knowledge that Ivas does not know.
During the game, the two men didn't communicate at all - or maybe Janis was more able to run at that time, and he didn't get caught the whole time.
Now it seems that I am afraid that the saint was not looking for Isabel at that time, but wanted to use Isabel as a clue to catch Janis who didn't know where to run......
And for Master Janis, if she made up her mind that she didn't want to see anyone, it would be too difficult to be caught.
Before the advent of the Fallen Celestials, the lowest-cost, longest-distance teleportation ability was the reflection of the "Art Giant". This is currently the only teleportation capability that can be used at will. It's much stronger than Shafiya's portal that has been holding back for a long time to pass a thirty-meter portal.
After Janis apologized honestly, the White Maiden didn't say anything about it.
She didn't say yes or no, she just looked at Janis quietly.
Janis panicked and suddenly began to change the subject: "Ivus, why are you sitting on a unicorn?" ”
"Why...... I'm looking for answers. ”
Ivus said quietly, "Do you think I might know?" I only saw a unicorn for the first time today. ”
"I guess it has something to do with your ability to reflect in the mirror."
Janis said, smiling and pushing her hat up a bit, her body starting to become a little illusory: "I still have some things, so I'll go first." I'll come to you when I'm done......"
"Then we might as well be together."
Grey suddenly spoke, "It just so happens that Ivas is going to be inaugurated as a bishop. It's better to have more acquaintances for this kind of thing. ”
"I'm really something...... Forget it, okay. ”
Yanis muttered twice, and her half-blurred body solidified again.
Ivas also took the opportunity to get off the unicorn and walked over to Master Janis.
He whispered, "Is there really something?" ”
"It's really something—it still has something to do with you."
Yanis also lowered her voice and glared at Ivus: "You kid won't help me watch the excitement ......"
"Because I also think it's a bit too much to leave behind my friends for 200 years."
Ivus said solemnly, "So what's going on? ”
Although it feels like Janis can do such a thing - she is a woman as free as the wind. It's impossible to stay in one place for too long. But hanging friends for two hundred years also sounds too outrageous.
Janis subconsciously glanced at Grey, shook her head repeatedly, and said nothing.
"I'm telling you, you kid ......"
Yanis lowered her voice and said viciously, "It's your sister who invited me over. If it is delayed, it will also delay her time. ”
“…… Freya? ”
"Yes—how many sisters do you have?"
Hearing this, Ivas glanced at Grey with some hesitation.
Grey glanced at Janis calmly, but whispered, "I've caught you, Janis, you can't run away." Three days later, the twenty-first layer. I'll give you a day to explain. ”
“…… Good. ”
Janis nodded, glared at Ivas again, and vanished.
At this point, Grey sighed.
She bowed to the air, "I'm smiling you, Cardinal Matilda." ”
"It's alright."
It was a voice as gentle as water: "I am also glad that you two can be reconciled." ”
The air rippled slightly, and a young female elf with long blue hair who looked to be in her twenties and thirties appeared there.
Neither Iwas, Lily, nor Sherlock had noticed her presence before.
But Ivas recognized at a glance that she was wearing the cardinal's robes—the biggest difference between cardinals and archbishops was that their robes were custom-made, one color for each person, not red or gold and red.
However, the body will be embroidered with a black sin thorn pattern, and the middle of the pattern must be hollowed out, to expose the skin or set with gems.
Cardinal Matilda's robe, on the other hand, is violet, with a thorn in the middle of her chest and a ring of thorns. The biggest feature is that the cuffs are large and reminiscent of flared flowers.
For some reason, Ivas always felt as if he had seen her somewhere.
He thought about it for a moment, could this person be the elves who had advanced the ritual with Pure White...... But in terms of age and appearance, it seems to be a bit wrong.
Matilda nodded slightly at Ehuas, put her right hand on her chest, and introduced herself, "I am the rank of the Holy Order, Matilda. I am responsible for the promotion of the Holy Rank of Bishop and above. ”
"Cardinal Matilda."
Ivus stretched out his hand and tapped it three times, and said respectfully, "May the candle watch over your light." ”
Matilda nodded, turned to the others and said, "After this, there is the Holy Order Department in front of you." Others, please wait here...... Ivus will come with me to change clothes first. ”
