Chapter Ninety-Four: Being an Avenger
"I have never regretted it so much as I do now...... "Mrs. Dalk said as she wiped tears from her eyes, "my son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Burrestu, and Alyssa was raised by me as an avenger from an early age to avenge them...... But now that the revenge has not been avenged, she will leave me first, just like them......"
Alan couldn't help but be a little moved when she saw this old man so sad, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but Cynthia had already walked up to her and squatted down.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, perhaps, this is the fate of her born in the Dalke family...... Just like us, we have been carrying a special mission since we were born, there is no room for refusal, all we can do is accept and then do our best. Cynthia said, stroking Mrs. Dark's hand.
Mrs. Dalk was slightly stunned when she heard this, and began to look at Cynthia carefully.
"I think, in a way, I can relate to her feelings...... Cynthia continued, "and I don't have anyone to call 'parents', just a name they left for me...... Since I was a child, I have worked hard to gain the approval of others, just to prove that they were wrong to abandon me in the first place, and she is the same, it is precisely because she has a goal in mind that she will always stick to it...... Although it seems that she has embarked on this path from your request, in fact, if it were not for her own willingness, she would not have persevered, let alone achieved what she is today...... So I know she's not going to complain about you, at least me, and she's only going to thank you......," Cynthia said, "she's really good enough, not only talented but also harder than me...... There aren't many people I can think of as a competitor, she is the only one, and I feel honored to have her as a friend. ”
Mrs. Dalk was silent for a long time before she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that her mood calmed down, Cynthia said again: "And you don't have to be too pessimistic...... She's in the mire now, but she's not completely hopeless, and we'll do our best to get her out. ”
"I'm too old to do anything, so I can only pin my heart's desire on her...... I don't know how much you know about it, but as the only witness to it, I think it's necessary for me to recount the whole thing to you, and that's the greatest help I can give you......" Mrs. Dalk spoke again after a moment, "I will always remember that night...... Our family originally lived in Krivari, not far from the murderer's house, and my ears were keen, so I knew about the incident at their house that night...... I almost witnessed the whole process...... He created the bloody case of the school of magic and fled all the way home, but his father chose to kill him in order to uphold justice...... I was shocked, but at the same time admired his father's actions, and few people could have made such a decisive choice in the face of such a situation, so they decided not to report it to the Ministry of Security as if they had seen nothing...... But what shocked me even more was that I had seen him breathe with my own eyes, but it didn't take long for me to get up from the ground again......"
Mrs. Dalk pointed to her ear as she spoke, "My magic allows me to hear the sound of a broken neck clearly, and I'm pretty sure he really has stopped breathing, so I decided to follow him all the way to find out until he and Finn ...... encountered."
Alan listened attentively, and so far it was exactly the same as the information he had.
"He was the one who instructed the werewolves to kill Finn and Christie...... "Mrs. Darker said with some sadness, "I was trying to help my son catch him from the covers, but after listening to him muttering a few strange spells, the team members who were traveling with my son suddenly turned against me...... Out of trust in Finn and Christie's abilities, and because his magic was so weird, I didn't act rashly, but chose to look at it again to find a way to solve it, but when he recited the spell again, Finn and Christie were hit in an instant......"
"The other two weren't trying to help Bresto, and they were also controlled by magic...... Allen said.
"Yes, I realized it right away, so I had no choice but to run away when they found out...... For I know very well that I have no ......chance of winning against his strange abilities and strong werewolves," continued Mrs. Dalke, "but thankfully he seemed to be tired and did not choose to chase after him, which left me with a chance of revenge...... Since that day, the seeds of revenge have been planted in my heart. I knew that the key to defeating him was in this magic, so I pondered and tried again and again, and finally learned a little secret of this magic from some of his spell fragments...... In order to obtain as much information as possible about him and to find out all the mysteries about him, I followed his father all the way here, and although there was little hope, it was the only possibility of seeing him again one day......"
"So the weather in Beiya is also caused by you?"
"Yes, it is necessary in order to hide my scent, in order to be able to raise Alyssa smoothly...... If you have a feud with a werewolf, you'd better be prepared for trouble for the rest of your life......" said Mrs. Dark, "and it's not difficult for someone who is proficient in wind elemental magic to use magic to trap a rain cloud in a fixed area, especially in such a mountainous environment......"
"Sure enough......"
Although he had already speculated on these things, hearing Mrs. Darke tell the truth still made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Well, I have a request......" After a long silence, Alan spoke again, "about this unique magic...... Can you teach me?"
Mrs. Dalk was a little surprised when she heard this, but the next second she understood: "Indeed, if you can learn this magic, you can increase your chances of victory...... But unfortunately, this is not possible......"
"Why?" Allen's heart instantly chilled.
"This magic can't be learned by ordinary people...... At least, it is impossible to use it without years of accumulation and practice......," said Mrs. Dark, shaking her head slightly, "This magic is too burdensome for ordinary people, and if you are not careful, it will drain all your energy in an instant, and if I hadn't seen and heard it with my own eyes at the time, I might not have been able to grasp it by now...... Truth be told, I started to develop Alyssa's abilities when she was very young, but until now, she has barely learned a thing or two......"
