The Whispering Verses Chapter 1449: The last farewell
Chapter 1449 The Final Farewell
"Can I control her temporarily?"
Siris who was in the shield with Shade asked, Shade nodded:
"Light of Confinement!"
The silver halo flew out and wrapped directly around the neck of the black-smoking Siris. The real Siris had a weird look on his face, but he still took a few steps forward and hugged her to prevent her from falling to the ground:
"I know you are hating, but he is my father after all. Before he left, I was not raised by wind and rain."
The figure rising from the black smoke seemed to sob a few times, and then disappeared. Some white threads were attached to Siris' wrist. She did not avoid them, but felt the resentment and memories of the past.
“For those of us ring magicians who believe in our Lord [The Forgotten Old Man], the power of memory is more important than other ring magicians.”
As if he was afraid that Shade would be worried, Siris explained to Shade that Shade also understood that Siris' power had been enhanced.
When Sirius fully realized the newly acquired power, when she looked at Shade behind her, Shade could not understand the meaning of her eyes at this moment:
"Let's continue."
There was no enemy in the third confession cabinet, but the vague male voice from before.
So Shade and Sirius walked in again. After closing the door, Sirius made his second confession in the dark:
"Father, I am guilty. I know that only self-sacrifice can save this land, but I am greedy for the warmth of living people and the prosperity of the world. Some people, many people have voluntarily sacrificed, but I resist this choice."
"you"
Shad wanted to speak, but the blonde girl covered his mouth.
The voice on the other side of the inner wall said:
"Cherishing one's own life is the best way for us as mortals to be grateful to the world. Maybe sacrifice has a role, but maybe there are other ways."
"Yes, there are other ways. But someone else will sacrifice. Me"
"I understand. So if it comes to the end, are you willing to sacrifice?"
"Yes, to save those I love."
"So, you are not selfish."
There was another sound of metal rubbing against the ground, so Shade got the second mirror fragment from the gap under his feet.
He said to Siris very seriously:
"I have already said, I have a way to solve the problem, it is not your turn to sacrifice yourself."
The young girl looked at him in the dark at a very close distance:
"I will listen to you. But what if, what if you fail?"
"I will not fail."
"Pride is the original sin."
Xia De blinked:
"If I fail, it means that I am dead. After this, I can't control what you want to do. But someone has to sacrifice. If I sacrifice, I hope that I can die a little bit." Value, at least there is no need for a second victim. The premise for this to happen is that I am already dead. Do you want to discuss this topic with me? Do you want to talk to me about how I will die?"
The blonde girl’s beautiful face showed a slightly sad look:
"You will not die, and no one will die."
Xia De smiled:
"You see, this topic does not need to be discussed. Therefore, whether you need to sacrifice does not need to be discussed."
They walked out of the third confessional cabinet together, and then opened the fourth.
Because of his previous experience, Shade immediately dodged to the side after opening the door, avoiding the memory threads shot from inside.
This time, the person who walked out of the door was Siris who shouted "I don't want to die."
Shade still subdued her with the light of confinement, and Sirius stepped forward to hug the girl who looked exactly like him:
"Don't panic, don't be sad, we are all greedy for the warmth of living people, but I am sure that I will never die, because."
She looked back at Shade and said nothing, and the black-smoking girl she was holding also looked at Shade. After a moment of silence in the dark confessional, Shade heard someone say "thank you".
The girl with the black smoke disappeared again, and the white thread of memory was still attached to Sirius's body. But this time, the life ring behind Siris was directly revealed. The brass enlightenment element, which represents the power of civilization, is engraved with the seven-ring enlightenment rune [Sacrifice] on her.
The blonde girl pursed her lips and looked at the empty arms, and it took a long time before she stood up. Although she didn't look at Shade at the moment, Shade inexplicably understood the weakness in her heart. So he walked over and wanted to hug her, but was avoided by Sirius:
"I think I can still persist."
So the two of them came to the fifth confession cabinet, and the vague voice still asked what they wanted to confess.
After entering the confession cabinet this time, Siris was silent for a long time before saying:
"Father, I am guilty. I am jealous."
"Who are you jealous of?"
This time, Siris was not as determined as the previous two times:
"My best friend. I am jealous of her beauty, jealous of her courage, and jealous of her relationship with another friend of mine."
"She" suddenly chuckled in Shade's ear. Shade understood immediately, so he pretended that he was deaf at the moment and huddled in the corner without saying a word.
"I know it's wrong, but I'm still jealous. She has almost everything and I have nothing. She is still my best friend and always will be, but she and he."
The vague man’s voice actually laughed:
"In love and war, any means and any emotion can be forgiven. As long as it is legal. Sirius, there is nothing wrong with this, just pursue your heart. Don't, absolutely don't, I'm sorry My own life."
With the sound of friction, the last fragment of the mirror slipped out from under his feet. After Shade picked it up, he found that the three fragments just formed a complete mirror.
The mirror is not a relic, but some kind of strange alchemical item. But unfortunately, Shade was not its owner, so even if he looked at himself in the mirror, nothing happened.
After leaving the fifth small prayer cupboard, Shade handed the mirror to Sirius. The latter pointed the mirror at her face, and then her hand suddenly shook, causing the mirror to fall directly to the ground. She backed away in fear. After being supported by Sha De, they looked at the ground together. The mirror is emitting a pure white light.
A figure emerged from the light. This was either a stranger or Siris's father, Mr. Lacers. Wearing a brown robe, he looks exactly like the Guardian. However, when he noticed his expression and saw the look on his face when he looked at Sirius with concern, Shade inexplicably understood that this was definitely not an emotionless guardian.
"Father."
Hiris seemed to squeeze out the word from his throat, while Shade was wondering which version of Mr. Lassus this was. Fortunately, there was no need for him to ask. Mr. Lassus, who emerged from the light of the mirror, took the initiative and said:
"Sirius, you have grown up. I am really happy to see you, but your appearance also means that I am, before taking the final step on the road to the guardian trial, use the **** of the cult to Memories segmented by techniques."
The expressions of concern, sadness and guilt on the middle-aged man’s face are definitely not fake:
"I left the last memory here. On the one hand, I hope to guide you to continue walking in the possible future, and on the other hand, I am sorry, Siris, I know what decision I made, I also know what this decision means, but sometimes adults have to face choices they have to face. ”
"Can you talk?"
Xia De finally asked, and the figure looked at Xia De:
"It has not been more than fifteen years since I left this memory. The wear and tear of the memory is not very serious, and we can simply have a conversation."
He noticed Shade's action of supporting Sirius, but did not express any opinion.
"The reason why you left me and the sect was because of..."
"For this land. During the investigation, I learned about the existence of the guardians, realized the power of the heart of the earth, and understood the meaning of what they did."
"Why leave without saying goodbye? At least you can leave a letter."
Xia De also asked, and then noticed that the girl leaning against him was shaking slightly.
"All previous guardians disappeared inexplicably during their lifetime. We cannot leave any clues about our departure. To find us, we can only pass step by step trials and tests."
When Mr. Lassers said this, his expression became serious:
"Hirlis, since you have come this far, you should understand what I am talking about. If you are willing to continue on, I will bless you and be happy that my daughter has chosen this path. Next Target, in the basement of this church, you need to decipher the riddle I left."
"What if she doesn't want to?"
Shad asked, Mr. Lassus seemed to have already thought that he would ask this:
"Xiris has grown up. I have left the responsibility to her and the right to choose. Although I am still her father, I no longer have any power to restrain her or give her It’s time to plan your life’s path. If Siris is unwilling to take the next step, I respect her decision and hope.”
Looking at his daughter:
"I hope you are happy in this life, my daughter. I'm sorry that I can't watch you grow up, but if you have made up your mind, just leave, get married, have children, and watch like normal people. They grow up healthily. Don’t become me, an irresponsible adult like me. Don’t care about this church, leave the Randall Valley with the Golden Dawn, and never come back.”
The last sentence was intermittent and very blurry, and the white light emerging from the mirror began to flicker until it suddenly went out. In the last vague words, Shade only heard "Sorry".
The disappearance of the light plunged the prayer room into darkness again, but Shade could still see Sirius's face. The blonde girl looked at the mirror in front of her blankly, and then Shade sighed.
