Chapter 224 I Didn't Lie
After the painter left, Jodi looked at her husband.
"Is he really good?"
"who knows?"
Pava poured himself a glass of ale: "At least Iron Seal is moving. If he doesn't move, there will be no hope."
"Whether he makes a mess or gets a happy harvest, he has to bear the consequences."
"In fact, he has always wanted to do this. We are just letting him face his true self. If a person is not willing, it is useless what outsiders say."
Pava took a sip of wine: "The "Hero" has been handed over to the Temple of Yaocheng, right?"
"Well, the first batch of books will be transcribed next month at the latest."
"I can rest assured that."
There was some hesitation on Jodi's face: "Have you really decided to do this?"
"Of course, is this even a joke?"
Pava took a deep breath and stood up: "Come on."
Jyoti went to the window and closed the curtains.
She turned around and walked slowly to Pava: "It's not too late to regret now."
Pava held Jyoti's face in his hands and kissed her: "No, I don't regret it. The story of my life belongs to you."
Then his face stiffened.
Pava slowly fell backward.
Pava, the famous traveler and storyteller, died at the age of 66 when his heart stopped beating at his home in Saniro.
…
Three days later, Fabiani, who received the obituary notice, hurried outside the fountain on a sandworm.
Outside Pava's house, there were many people commemorating this great storyteller. They put down bouquets of flowers in the corner, talked softly, and felt sorry for Pava's death.
Fabiani knocked on the door.
The oak door was slowly opened, revealing Jodi's slightly haggard face. She was wearing a black dress, a sacred flower on her chest, and her eyes were red.
"Madam, my condolences."
Fabiani's voice was hoarse: "I'm late."
"Please come in."
Jodi glanced behind him: "Who is this?"
"This is my apprentice, Uluru."
Uluru is short in stature and wears a robe that almost covers his entire body, hiding his whole body in the shadows.
Fabiani said: "He is from Uzi, just let him wait outside."
He gestured to Uluru.
Uluru nodded and returned to the sandworm to wait.
After entering the house, Jodi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "Want to drink water, honey or wine?"
"Water."
Fabiani was a little uneasy.
He thought he had foreseen his death, but the sudden death of his best friend was still difficult for Fabiani to accept, and his mind was completely blank along the way.
I have received so much care from Pahua, but I can't give any feedback.
This made Fabiani feel deeply lost and his body felt extremely heavy.
He saw a painting solidified in resin on the wall, which was a portrait of Pava and Jyoti. The painter's brushwork was exquisite, and he faithfully and accurately restored the characteristics of Pava and Jyoti, as well as all their subtle expressions.
Pava has a smile on his face in the painting. At this time, he did not know that death would knock on the door so quickly.
Fabiani suddenly realized something was wrong.
This is Sanillo.
If Pava is dead, the ghost is still there.
He looked at Jyoti: "Madam, has Pawar's ghost appeared?"
"No, it didn't show up."
A trace of sadness flashed across Jodi's face, and she pursed her lips: "No one knows where his soul has gone."
No wonder she was so sad.
Fabiani sighed: "Perhaps he was too tired during his lifetime. Pava needs to rest. Please don't worry, he loves you very much and will definitely come back to you."
Every time he had dinner with Pava, Fabiani could feel his friend's anxiety.
Pava was always writing and revising manuscripts, but the progress was getting slower and slower. As his fame grew, Pava could hardly find a quiet place in the city.
He was visibly tired and nervous.
Pahwa once said that his biggest worry is that everyone expects too much from him. In the eyes of many people, he is not only a narrator, but also an observer of the world who hides countless secrets.
He was unable to surpass the original "Pava's Bizarre Adventure" and lamented this, often saying that living like this was boring.
After eating fried black water strider, it’s hard to like fried little bugs again.
"He's not coming back."
Jodi shook her head.
Suddenly, a stranger in full armor walked out of the inner room. This man was wearing brass-colored ghost armor, with a long sword tied to his waist, and his steps were steady and impressive.
Fabiani was shocked at first.
Pawar just died and Jyoti found a new partner?
Is this a bit...
It took him a moment to realize something was wrong.
A bold idea came to his mind.
"Could it be that...Pava?"
The ghost in the ghost armor said angrily: "You have recognized the wrong person, my friend. Standing in front of you is the ghost from the mountains, the warrior who died a hundred years ago, Matthews."
Fabiani couldn't help but laugh: "You bastard, you actually faked your own death and everyone was fooled by you!"
There is nothing better than having a good friend alive.
Matthews emphasized: "My friend, I have said before, my name is Matthews. Your good friend Pava is dead, and his body is buried in the backyard."
Fabiani was stunned and looked at Jodi.
Jodi nodded and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "I killed it with my own hands... and buried it. It was a complete death."
Fabiani was silent for a while, his face a little helpless: "You are willing to commit suicide to start over in order to get rid of the pressure of the name Pava... I'm afraid no one would have thought of it."
"My friend, I solemnly declare to you again that I am Matthews."
The other party emphasized again.
"Then why are you at Pava's house?"
"Because I am a fan of Mr. Pava's books, I came here to pay tribute. I decided to inherit Mr. Pava's will and continue to write everyone's story."
"I will record the brutal war between the Fifth Fearless Empire and the Kingdom of Uji, tentatively named "Crystal Empire". Please continue to support me in the future, just like supporting Mr. Pava."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"I'm not lying."
"Stop it, Pava."
"Sir, please pay attention to your wording, I am the battlefield narrator, Matthews."
Fabiani didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He could only nod: "Okay, nice to meet you, Matthews."
Jioti blinked and lip-synced lightly.
——Let him.
Fabiani relaxed and rubbed his stomach: "I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"There are honey wheat cakes and some cold beef, just eat a little." Jyoti pointed his finger, and the plate flew, and the food was immediately placed on the table.
Fabiani ate and drank lavishly.
After eating half full, he said: "We recently dug up the ruins of the Rose Kingdom in a cape in the south and found a batch of rose seeds, thanks to Uluru."
"The Uji people are indeed natural underground navigators. Their underground boats are very wonderful. They look like stone pillars, but they are very flexible underground, as if they have life."
"Uluru is also the first geologist."
"He told us how the underground moves, how the interior is structured, what characteristics the exterior has, and there are many more types of rocks than we imagined..."
"That kind of black, flammable stone is called coal. It can also be found in some mountains. Cave monsters and sandworms can find some, but it is very difficult. Uluru has a way to accurately find coal mines!"
"In addition, Uluru can also find fire wells. The flames that continue to spew out from the ground can burn for hundreds of years. In Uluru, there are many kinds of coal mines. Wuji Kingdom has it! "
"If there are fire wells and a lot of coal, smelting and casting will become very easy, and the price of making various props and equipment will also come down. More people will be able to get relatively cheap metal tools, or even sophisticated equipment. "
Hearing such a strange thing, Matthewston couldn't pretend anymore, jumped up and said hurriedly: "Really? Call Uluru in quickly."
"Okay. Although the Wuji people can't speak, they have keen hearing. They can see the surroundings through their bodies, but the way is different from ours. In theory, their whole body is considered an eye. "
"They have their own writing and are used to recording history with carvings. It's just that because there is no need to speak, they have never developed a language. But Uluru can already understand the Yao language, so it's quite convenient. "
The young Wuji was invited in and looked at the three people inside nervously.
Before coming, he had heard from his teacher Fabiani.
Mr. Pava is a respected celebrity who tells stories to everyone and spreads them to the public. Ms. Jyoti is Mr. Pava's wife, an elegant and extraordinary person, and she must be treated with respect.
Uluru bowed to the armored warriors and elegant ladies inside nervously.
He made a famous gesture, which meant: I am honored to be here, sorry to bother you.
Fabiani said something to them.
Ms. Jyoti smiled and gave him a small seed, with a faint green light lingering on the surface of the seed.
Fabiani said: "Ms. Jyoti's gift to you is the seed of the symbiotic tree. After planting, it can grow into a forest and attract elves. If you grow a forest, it will be a fortune, and the elves will be willing to buy or rent from you."
Uluru carefully took the seed and stuffed it into his body.
This is both life and treasure.
He hit his head against the wall three times, expressing his solemn gratitude in the traditional way of the Uji people.
The whole house was creaking.
