Chapter 89 Inheritance (I Wish Everyone a Happy New Year's Eve)
Hearing Cattleya's words, "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette looked at her silently for a few seconds before saying:
"It's your choice and it's your freedom."
Cattleya looked at the queen in front of her without giving up, and then pursed her lips and said:
"I know, you must have destroyed all the clues, not giving me a chance to follow your footsteps...
"For you, this is the end of all the past, return or not."
Bernadette, whose long chestnut hair was casually draped, did not speak and remained silent, as if confirming the guess of "Admiral Star" in this way.
Seeing this, Cattleya smiled bitterly and said:
"I will no longer say that if you don't return for half a year or a year, I will try my best to find you. I just want you to remember to recite the honorable name of Mr. Fool at the most dangerous time."
She frankly said that title.
"Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette nodded slowly and said:
"I will remember."
Cattleya immediately smiled and said with foggy eyes:
"What items and things do you want to give me?"
Bernadette flipped his palm and took out an item from nowhere.
The item was golden as a whole, like a shrunken kettle. The surface was covered with mysterious and complex symbols, and there was a wick protruding from the mouth of the kettle.
"It is called 'Wish Magic Lamp', numbered '0-05', and it may have originated in the first era at the earliest. Even the true gods could not smash it. Usually, it will not cause any harm and will not play any role, but it It will constantly induce you to rub the surface through dreams and hallucinations, and summon the lamp god." "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette briefly introduced the origin and function of the items in his hand, "The lamp god claims to be eternal, and can satisfy any ten A wish, but it is often accomplished in a very twisted way, or with very dire consequences, my father said that the bearer can avoid the harm caused by the first two wishes with language and preparation, but must not allow the first Three wishes."
Having said that, Bernadette emphasized again:
"Absolutely not!"
"It sounds easy to evade..." Cattleya's thoughts changed, "You make two wishes and then give it to me, I will make two more wishes, and then give them to Frank, Heath and others in turn, this can do a lot. matter."
She was just taking Frank as an example, she didn't want to let that guy touch something so dangerous at all.
Bernadette held the "Wishing Lamp" and shook her head invisibly:
"The owner and the owner are different. Before I die, even if you get the 'Wish Magic Lamp', you are only the owner. The first wish you make will be recorded as my third wish at the same time. and your first wish.
"Also, although we can avoid the damage that comes with wishing with words and preparations, this does not mean that the Djinn is without wisdom. On the contrary, he is very smart, very cunning, and has strong autonomy."
Cattleya said "um":
"Then does he have an unfulfilled wish?"
"At present, no, but if it involves the level of true gods, the distortion of wishes will be beyond your imagination. In short, if you make a wish to become the true god of Sequence 0, then your body and soul will merge with the evil god of unknown origin. One, remember, the lamp-god's requirement is that the wish must be concise, or he will reject it as if you had made a wish.
"Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette explained.
After she finished speaking, she let the invisible servant fly to "Admiral Star" Cattleya with the terrifying sealed item "0-05".
After Cattleya reached out to catch the "Wishing Lamp", Bernadette continued:
"If you dream of the lamp god and be bewitched by him to make a wish, it means that I can no longer return. Next, you are the holder of it. I hope your first wish is to get back Bernadette Gus. All the items that Tave carried before going to sea, including her own Beyonder characteristics, um, it is best to add a specific date when making a wish."
Cattleya looked down at the golden lamp and blurted out:
"Can I make a wish to bring you back to life?"
"Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette was silent for a few seconds before saying:
"The resurrected me may just be a monster.
"If you really want to do this, you can ask that Mr. Fool's opinion."
Cattleya nodded slightly:
"it is good."
"This is what I gave you and what I want to explain. I will leave the rest to Element Dawn. They will have new leaders, and they will not disintegrate because of the disappearance of one person." Bernadette didn't say any more. Long-winded, saying that this is the main reason why he summoned Cattleya to the Emerald City.
——The status and level of the "Wishing Magic Lamp" are very high, and it cannot be delivered through messengers.
Without waiting for Cattleya to respond, the "Queen of Mysteries" suddenly softened a bit:
"Didn't you always want to share what happened to me over the years?"
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya froze for a moment, then nodded "Yeah" and said:
"right."
She immediately walked to the Queen's side, pulled a chair and sat down, facing the blue sea outside the emerald railing.
Bernadette sat next to her and listened to her talk about the various experiences after leaving the Dawn, as before.
Some of these things Cattleya mentioned in the letter, but due to space, they did not describe in detail, and some of them were the first time to tell others.
At some point, Cattleya fell asleep and dreamed of many years ago.
At that time, she was just a young girl, stubbornly reluctant to look back and walked off the "Dawn".
Suddenly, she woke up with a start, and found that there was no one around, and found that it was already dark at some point, and even the dawn appeared.
Cattleya reached out abruptly and threw out an unrealistic phantom line.
The ball of thread rolled into the void, leaving behind a brightly colored yarn.
Along this yarn, Cattleya walked in the spiritual world as if she had mastered "teleportation", and came to the outer layer of Laxia Island.
She stood on the edge of the cliff and cast her eyes into the distance, only to see that on the dark blue sea with a little black, a gorgeous and huge sailboat was carrying the orange morning light and sailed to the horizon.
Cattleya sat down slowly, leaned forward slightly, clasped her knees with both hands, and stared in that direction for a long time.
The sun gradually rose and sprinkled a little brilliance on her body.
…………
Backlund, a food distribution point.
The veiled Starling Somer no longer bows her head as often as she did in the past few months, afraid that others will recognize her. She looks ahead anxiously, worried that the free food will be distributed before it is her turn. complete.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear gunshots echoing in the distance, and she didn't know if it was from the Feysac, Intis, and Fenepot troops who had broken through the defense line, or the police who were dealing with the food snatchers.
Let it end... This war will end soon... Starling, who has run to three relief points today, prayed silently.
At this moment, the staff a few meters away raised their voices and said:
"The food here has been distributed!"
Starling's face suddenly turned gray, she looked up at the already dim sky, shuffled frustrated and numbly, and returned to the house at No. 17 Minsk Street.
As soon as she opened the door, the two children in the family rushed over, raised their innocent faces and said:
"Mom, have you got bread?"
"Mom, I'm hungry..."
They are twins, a boy and a girl, who are very cute.
Starling's nose was sour, she forced a smile and said:
"Have."
She immediately entered the house, dug out a small amount of bread from a hidden place, and divided it among the two children.
Watching the two children eat bread with complete disregard for etiquette, Starling's face changed constantly, sometimes sad, sometimes painful.
Not long after, her husband Luke Summer also returned home, again without food.
Since the Coim Company was taken over by the military under the War Act, the one-time manager has been out of a job, relying on past savings and government handouts to support the family.
"I didn't get it..." Seeing his wife looking over with hopeful eyes, this burly man with a messy beard lowered his head in shame.
Starling, who was in her thirties and had a pretty face, took a breath and said:
"Me too... I'll go out to line up again, there should be places where food will be distributed!"
Without waiting for her husband to respond, she rushed out the door.
Luke immediately turned around and said to her back:
"I'll look for it again!"
Starling didn't stop, walked two streets and came to a house with a garden.
Not long after, she met the owner here, the rich man in his fifties.
"I think, I want to buy some food." Starling took out a stack of crumpled bills.
The gray-haired old man smiled and said:
"Why should I sell it to you?
"I remember you rejected me last time."
Starling's face became extremely pale, and she didn't speak. She lowered her head and undid the belt of her skirt with her other hand.
With a snap, the originally delicate but stained calfskin leather belt fell to the ground.
…………
Luke Summer roamed the streets aimlessly, not knowing where to get food.
Looking at the few pedestrians passing by and the bags they were trying to protect, the eyes of this mechanic-loving and knowledgeable gentleman gradually turned red.
He unknowingly followed behind a man and followed him into a street.
In less than an hour, the curfew would begin, and it was one of his few chances.
The man stopped outside a house and walked vainly to the door.
Just then, the man suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Luke took a few steps back subconsciously, then quickly approached and tested the pedestrian's breath.
His eyes unconsciously looked at the paper bag that the other party was holding tightly in his arms, and he smelled the aroma of toast at the end of his nose.
Luke swallowed and was about to reach for the bag.
As he moved his palms, he looked back fearfully at the house the pedestrian was trying to enter, and saw a child's graffiti-like picture on the orifice window.
Luke's movements stiffened, and after a few seconds, he stood up, walked to the door of the house, and rang the bell.
The housewife and child inside quickly opened the door and came out, seeing the frail father and the bag of bread.
The curfew soon arrived, and Luke returned to Minsk Street in frustration and low self-esteem.
As soon as he opened the door of his house, he saw his wife smiling and saying to him:
"I got the food!"
That's great... Luke breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Starling hard.
…………
Audrey was walking in the streets and alleys, and no one could see her.
She didn't speak, and kept walking back to Queens, back to the luxurious villa, and smelled the aroma of fried foie gras and other delicacies.
After staring silently for a while, watching the comings and goings of the servants and maids, Audrey went upstairs and returned to her room.
In the middle of the night, she put on a cloak, entered her parents' bedroom, and came to their bed.
After looking deeply for a long time, Audrey knelt down on one knee and put her forehead against her father's hand.
Drops of water slipped off and dipped on the carpet.
Then, the blond and blue-eyed noble girl slowly raised her head, facing her sleeping parents, sobbing and said:
"Dad, Mom, thank you, thank you for teaching me what mercy is, what kindness is, and what virtue is."
As soon as the words fell, she closed her eyes, stood up abruptly, turned and walked out of the door, her face no longer had the slightest expression.
PS: Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
