Chapter 574 Ch.573 Halida’s Determination
Natalie's status in the Ring of Eternal Silence is definitely not low.
It only took two days for her to write a letter saying that she had found Halida's brother - not a message, not a clue, but her brother 'himself'.
A lifelike corpse with new swaddling clothes.
His flesh and blood were hollowed out, his two rotten eyeballs were replaced with bright yellow gems, and his abdomen was filled with some kind of soaked herb after being dried.
Like taxidermy.
He became a collector's item for some ritualist.
According to Natalie, the three-ring lady also has many babies in her home, which she bought through "legal channels": Halida's brother is no exception.
She paid Mason Lyall seven shillings.
What a good deal, for both of them.
Natalie didn't say what she paid, she just handed the baby to Roland and said they were settled. At the same time, she also told Roland that if her brother writes a letter, she hopes that he can reply a few words for the sake of 'friendship' - even if it is just to deal with it, it doesn't matter.
That's important to her.
She begged Roland and said that if she needed anything in return, she must tell her.
Roland didn't care about 'Miss Rupert' and hated her faults - as long as she wasn't as rude as Gary Kratofer, it wouldn't matter if she replied to a few letters.
'My brother wouldn't do that, Mr. Collins. This time I figured it out. ’
Roland asked her what she understood.
'What kind of things does my brother like? Oh, but I can't find something suitable for him recently. If he gets pushed hard, he should really hate me. ’
Roland asked again what it was like.
‘Strong. A tough guy who can hold him in like a wall - I guess that's it... who knows? Don’t women like this too? At first I thought he liked people who were talkative, gentle, and handsome...'
Tough guy?
Roland said he had a captain named Fernandez Devinson.
Natalie said don't think I haven't heard of this name, "The King of Flower Street" Dwinson. She said she would never introduce such a romantic gentleman to her younger brother.
‘The Owl of Flower Street. ’
very good.
His captain has become famous.
'He doesn't have a much better reputation than I do, Mr. Collins. If I were you, I would definitely avoid going to places that are not quite right with him - you can go alone or have fun with other people, but don't go with your captain. ’
‘That’s really disgraceful, and it will also affect your reputation and future marriage. ’
Roland didn't understand a little.
Since it's all about enjoyment, what's so special about Fernandez?
'At least you shouldn't be dragging the girls to listen to you telling you about your great past and thrilling adventures after it's over - it's very hard to serve people. Mr. Collins, should we let the remaining few people live after using a place? A place to take a proper rest? ’
‘A gentleman must learn to be considerate. ’
Roland said that he was actually planning to silence Fernandez de Vinson completely.
Natalie said that if he succeeded, she would try to get Roland a secret organ to celebrate the end of an 'era'.
Just kidding of course.
Natalie Benevento is a wonderful person.
She thought Roland was too.
In the next half day, Roland 'packed' the body and drove the carriage all the way to Shelley's house.
Halida has been accompanying Rose recently. According to Miss Snitch, she is having a good life with her toes splayed. She is also a quick learner and can become a qualified personal maid in just a few months.
When Roland saw her, the slender little coffee stick was walking around in the independent living room, practicing how to move quickly without making a sound.
"You can't bark either!"
Rose tugged on her skirt and shouted - because as soon as Hallida saw Roland, she ran over to greet him happily, but halfway, she remembered that she was training and wanted to show her master a good side.
The unstoppable soles of my feet and my mood collided with each other.
There was a loud shout of greeting.
"Woof!"
Rose had just boasted to Roland about how much she valued Halida and what a great old maid she had found to teach her - and this was the result.
What made her even more angry was that Roland not only ignored him, but also added fuel to the fire and replied to Halida:
"Meow!"
OK
Cat and dog owners are awesome.
She also wanted to take some time to completely get rid of Halida's bad habit of barking.
Now it seems that even if he gets rid of it, he will still pick up new bad habits when he comes to Roland's side.
Yes or no?
Meow?
"Look what I brought you Halida!" Roland happily held the baby and stuffed it into Halida's arms, "Open it and take a look!"
Then.
Rose got angry.
"Roland! Are you crazy! How can you just give a corpse like a pair of wool socks... so..."
While she was angry at Roland, she also tried to coax Halida into tears.
"...No, I, I'm very happy, Miss Lilian." Halida sobbed, but showed a smile she had never seen before.
"Thank you...thank you...Mr. Collins...thank you..."
That's her brother.
She thought she would never see him again.
Roland nuzzled at Hallida, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, with an expression of 'Look what's wrong with me'.
Rose thought there was something wrong with both master and servant.
Including Xander Kratof.
It was normal for her to be the only one in the whole tea party... No, she did not agree to Halida joining.
"I asked what kind of potion they used to soak it and held a ceremony. As long as you don't touch the flames and buy a bottle every month, you can stay like this forever - but it has to go through some special channels, like holy water Likewise, the ritualists of the Ring of Eternal Silence are not that easy to talk to.”
Rose glanced at the corpse with some disgust: "This is desecration of the dead."
If it were that simple, all wealthy people would preserve the remains of their family members like this.
It's hard to say where the soul will go after such a waste.
"At least he is back with his sister," Roland pinched his cigar, looked at Halida, and shook his head slightly: "Compared to heaven and hell, it is better for him to end up in his sister's arms... What do you think?"
Halida hugged her brother's body tightly, biting her lips until they turned white, and looked at Rose pleadingly.
"...I want, want, want...him by my side."
The girl rubbed her eyebrows: "Halida, you should let your brother return to the embrace of the earth. No matter the country of death or heaven, you must let him sleep forever..."
This is true for everyone.
People always hope that the souls of their close friends, family members or loved ones can rest in peace after death.
Roland didn't think so.
If Yam Jones died one day, he hoped that she could stay with him forever, never rest in peace, just be by his side, and he could chat a few words every day and watch her float around the room.
Just like Miss Nina and Cherry Chloe.
They are by their side.
Instead of living in the cold soil with maggots, going to the cemetery without any life, or to the heaven full of blazing light - unfortunately, he is not a "elegy".
——Father of all things, do I have the right not to go to your kingdom of God?
"It's a beautiful thought."
"You can only go to hell when you die."
-
I don't want to go.
"No one asked for your opinion."
-
Where did Halida's brother's soul go?
"Didn't go anywhere."
"The soul without a home is like the wind, it disappears when it stops."
-
But Miss Nina and Cherry are still there.
"That's your fantasy."
-
no.
"yes."
-
no.
"yes."
-
No meat to eat today.
"How could you do this?! Without flesh, I wouldn't even feel alive—"
-
That's your fantasy.
"****** (friendly greeting)"
