1749th That's All

"——"

As Fang Li's words fell, the entire tomb room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

"Roswaal, you..."

Beatrice even looked at Roswaal with mixed eyes of surprise, anger and joy, not knowing what it was like in her heart.

Because Beatrice is the person who is most familiar with the history of the Mezzas family.

Four hundred years ago, when Beatrice was created by Echidna, she also had friends.

And one of them is Echidna's disciple, Roswaal of the first generation.

However, later, when Echidna was attacked, Roswaal was seriously injured in order to block the enemy. His career as a magician was completely cut off, and he could only be reduced to a useless person.

Under such circumstances, coupled with her mother's anticipation of her own death, Beatrice, who had almost lost all hope of survival, would fall into a state of self-abandonment. Guardian, then Beatrice should have committed suicide long ago.

Then, Beatrice lived in the Roswaal Mansion together with the Forbidden Library, and the first generation of Roswaal also gradually became estranged from Beatrice, and left the dazed Beatrice aside after the fall of Echidna , as if being possessed, he kept pursuing something, and finally died unknowingly.

However, the descendants who inherited the surname "Mezzas" also inherited the behest of their ancestors. While honing their own magical talents and magical powers, they kept approaching the astounding talent that was favored by the lustful witch. The first generation of Patriarchs, while each Patriarch still uses "Roswaal" as their own name, making the Mezas family continue to grow, and at the same time following the obsession of the previous generation, trying to revive Echidna.

Finally, almost ten generations later, the current Patriarch, the Roswaal in front of him, appeared.

This generation of Roswaal has displayed outstanding talents even among the Roswaals of all generations since he was young. In less than a dozen years, he caught up with Beatrice and got three attribute titles with peak magic, which is staggering.

This level of strength, this level of talent, is even better than the first generation Roswaal who was directly favored by Echidna.

To be honest, even from the perspective of Beatrice, it is impossible for a magician like Roswaal to exist in the world.

From the perspective of magical attainments only,

Roswaal is undoubtedly the strongest magician.

And Beatrice always thought that Roswaal of the first generation just passed on his obsession to the next generation before he died, so that the heads of the Mezzas family would live under the curse for generations. The Gospel, copied from the Book of God, is constantly pursuing the path of resurrecting Echidna.

It never occurred to him that the heads of generations of the Mezzas family were all resurrected existences after the original Roswaal transcribed the soul.

so…

"You are not the only one who has endured four hundred years of loneliness, loneliness, despair, and even pain, Beatrice."

Roswaal turned around and looked at Beatrice.

The face of that elegant and handsome man has now completely overlapped with the shadow of the boy in Beatrice's memory who has been chasing after Echidna.

"We are all the same, we are all cursed by the witch."

Having said that, what Roswaal showed was not resentment or hatred, but nostalgia and madness.

"However, even after four hundred years have passed, I have never forgotten to revive the teacher, but you seem to be different from me. You have abandoned the mission that the teacher gave you, and you have been freed from the long-standing cage and started to take a new step. It looks like a step."

As Roswaal said so, there was no irony in the eyes that looked at Beatrice, but only envy.

Envy Beatrice finally able to be reborn.

It was this kind of envy that freed Beatrice from her complicated emotions.

Facing Roswaal's gaze, Beatrice said something as if suppressing her emotions.

"If you want to despise Betty and scold Betty for violating the contract, that's up to you."

After all, the Forbidden Libraries had been burned, and even the Gospels had been consumed in the fire.

It is impossible to keep the contract between Beatrice and Echidna any longer.

Therefore, even if she was scolded for breaking the contract, Beatrice had nothing to say.

only…

"It's just that this is Betty's own choice."

Beatrice stretched out her hand involuntarily, and took Fang Li's palm.

Then, under Roswaal's stunned expression, he spoke without any confusion.

"Betty's Gospel only has this man's record, so Betty chose him."

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Another reason is...

"Fang Li said that what he wants is me, so Betty responded to Fang Li's expectation, that's all."

Beatrice's tone was full of sighs.

During the four hundred years of solitude and waiting, Beatrice has not never met someone like Fang Li who can break into the forbidden library and meet her.

However, those people were either interested in Beatrice's power as a great elf with the ultimate yin attribute, or the amazing knowledge left by the witch of lust in the forbidden library, none of them yearned for Beatrice herself.

But what Beatrice longs for is redemption, but love.

Fang Li is just the one who can give Beatrice the love she longs for.

"Who made this man not need Betty's power at all, let alone a guy who pursues knowledge?"

When she said this, Beatrice's tone was full of dissatisfaction and bitterness.

"The elf envoy is stronger than Betty who is an elf, and he is so independent, but he finally said that he wanted Betty, so Betty is in trouble."

That's why Beatrice couldn't help holding Fang Li's hand.

Now Fang Li has completely become the only meaning of life in Beatrice's heart.

Therefore, even if she was scolded by Roswaal, even if she was blamed by Echidna, Beatrice would accept it calmly.

This is the price of impulse.

"……yes?"

Roswaal was silent for a while, and then smiled wryly.

"Then I don't have the right to say anything. After all, I'm just the teacher's disciple. I have no right to say anything under your contract with the teacher, and I have no reason to scold you."

After finishing speaking, Roswaal turned his head and looked at Fang Li who had remained silent.

Immediately, Roswaal spoke like this.

"The world has deviated from the future I want, and the guidance of the Gospel will no longer have meaning, but since there is still hope for the resurrection of the teacher, I will never give up."

"Don't forget the contract with me?"

"Fang Li."

This is the last conversation in the tomb.

Fang Li didn't say anything, just took Beatrice's hand, and left the tomb under Roswaal's watchful eyes.

Roswaal was left here alone, sitting beside the crystal coffin, muttering something to Echidna's coffin, turning the heaviness in the air into loneliness.
