Personality V: I will save everything

"No, I can't stand it anymore. Let me find something to eat first. I'm starving."

Although what Norton said was correct, when he looked at the food on the table, he really couldn't find any way to eat it.

As I said before, Norton has become a picky eater, but he can still eat those disgusting things he used to eat. But seriously, if given a choice, who would want to eat those things?

So how did Norton manage to eat all the food in front of all the survivors and supervisors?

Of course, it was just to confuse the other party. At that time, everyone didn’t want to expose too obviously how they were different from the people in another world.

Not eating would seem a bit too strange. After all, explorers from another world can eat anything.

But Norton can't do it. Although he can eat it, it is equivalent to... We all know that some soil and tree bark and leaves can be eaten, but if there is a choice, who would be willing to eat those things?

So most of the time Norton would take food from the restaurant, take it to his room, pretend to eat, and lock himself in his room. Who knows if he ate it?

When there is really no other way, Norton will take a bite and then quietly spit it out.

Well, if that's the case, everyone must have noticed a problem, right? No one can eat the food in this manor, so how do they usually keep themselves from starving to death?

This matter needs to be traced back to that time——

Remember what happened when Norton came to the manor? It was when Luchino, Joke and Natasha went to the mines to look for him?

At that time, the owner of the manor let them go on the pretext of going on a picnic. Speaking of picnics, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the picnic basket.

The owner of the manor gave Natasha a picnic where she could take out any food.

Thanks to Natasha for bringing the picnic basket when she came to the estate.

Let’s not talk about others for now, at least Carl doesn’t want to experience the feeling of almost having his teeth knocked out again.

That was really a trauma in Carl's childhood. Although he was distracted by other things at the time, his tooth hurt for a whole day before it healed.

(When he was changing his teeth, the tooth that was hit was the first to fall out)

.................................................. ..................

Back to the topic, the picnic basket is now with Norton. Norton couldn't stand the food here, so he went to Natasha to ask for it.

Although there was food, the plates used to serve the food... Norton took a look and found that the plates here looked very old, with cracks and some unknown stains on them. Norton really didn't want to use them to serve food.

"When did you become so particular? Can't you just grab it with your hands?" After saying that, Frederick wanted to reach out and take a piece of white bread from the picnic basket.

But Norton not only quietly avoided Frederick's outstretched hand, but also put the entire picnic basket into his arms.

"Help me get it, I'll be back soon." Norton said as he shook the cigarette in his hand and took out the golden key.

Anyway, there is no need to pretend now, so just show off your things. The only thing Norton can show is probably his wealth. Remember the golden house he built before? The key is in his hand, and he can go and take a look at it at any time.

When Norton built the Golden House, he not only created the shape of the entire house, but also made the furniture in the house, so naturally there were plates and cups, but of course, they were all made of gold.

Frederick looked at the key in Norton's hand that he treated like a toy, and then looked at the supervisors and survivors next to him.

"I'd like to remind you that if you don't want to be blinded by the light, it's best to close your eyes."

"What?"

.................................................. ..................

".............Do you want to drink?"

The explorer had been staring at Norton for a long time, making Norton feel uncomfortable. He thought the other party wanted to drink the glass of wine in his hand, so he handed it in his direction.

But it seems that what he originally wanted was the glass of wine. What he wanted was the wine glass in the other person's hand, which was made of pure gold.

Although I don’t understand how Norton could lift such a heavy gold wine glass with one hand, the key point is that the wine glass is made of gold, it is gold!

"Oh." Norton didn't care. It was just a cup. He could make as many as he wanted.

Besides, the craftsmanship of the cup he gave to the explorer was not very good. He had just started making it at that time, and he even broke quite a few of them.

Every time the shape was not right or he was not satisfied with the pattern, he would re-knead the gold into a gold ball, and then re-shape it into the shape of a cup, and repeat this process over and over again.

To be honest, if it wasn't for killing time, he wouldn't have the patience.

.................................................. ..................

"Louie said he smelled the sweet aroma of bread. It's true. I want to eat it too."

Matthias suddenly opened the door and walked in. The first thing he said was that he wanted some bread. Norton was of course very happy to give him one and asked "Louis" if he wanted some.

In addition to Mathias, there were a few people in the manor who could hear what "Louis" said. But of course, Norton was not one of them. He could not understand why "Louis" was just a wooden puppet. How could he really speak?

However, although he felt strange in his heart, Norton still respected Matthias's behavior and treated "Louis" as a real child, even though the other party could not really answer him any questions.

"'Louie' said he didn't want to go."

This question was not answered by Matthias, because his mouth was full of bread and he couldn't make time to speak. It was Frederick who answered Norton.

Frederick was one of the few people who could hear "Louie" speak.

Norton had asked Frederick how he could hear "Louis" speak, but every time Frederick's answer was exactly the same -

"As long as you believe in Louis, you will be able to hear it speak."

"So why have I never heard of it?"

"Because grown-ups never learn to believe."

It was the same conversation every time, and Norton swore he had tried very hard to learn to believe it, but he really had never heard "Louie" speak.

What made Norton even more depressed was that although Itaquale Manor arrived much later than him, on the first day Itaquale arrived there, when he met Matthias and "Louis", he was able to talk to "Louis".

To be honest, when Norton heard the news, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and brain.

Then again, Lagertha (the name of Itakuya's mother) could actually hear "Louis" speak, which shocked Norton. He thought that only children could hear "Louis" speak.

Having said that, Norton had always thought that what happened to Lagertha, Itakuya's mother, was really funny, especially those ignorant villagers. They actually suspected that a lady who lived in the mountains and forests and never communicated with people was a witch? If she was really a witch, none of them could escape.

This reminded Norton of a bet that the owner of the manor had made with Itakuya.

Although Itakuya's mother forgot all the bad memories under Ada's hypnosis, Itakuya did not forget the memories of the painful torture his mother had suffered, and they still lingered in his mind.

That memory kept tormenting him, and for a long time, Itakuya was unwilling to go out or look in the mirror.

So, the owner of the manor made a bet with Itakuya, "Just like your name, a god who controls the cold wind and ice and snow. I will give you the same power now. You take this power to the village on the snowy plain and see how the villagers will react to you. How about it?"

Itakuya agreed. He also wanted to see how the villagers would react to him. However, He imagined that the villagers might curse him viciously and point torches and cold forks at him. However, he never expected that every villager who saw him would run away, faster than the cunning rabbits on the snowy field.

"You see, they just want to find a reason to vent their miserable lives. In fact, if they meet a real witch, they will run faster than anyone else."

The weak bully the weak, and the humble bully the humbler. This is the root of the ugliness of this village.

Afterwards, the manor owner did not take back the ability he gave to Itakuya. After all... "Itakuya is already a big boy. He should be able to take care of his mother, right?"

The owner of the manor said this at the time, and then patted Itakuya on the head with a smile.

By the way, ever since he acquired this ability, Itakuya was really tortured by Carl during that period of time.

Every once in a while, Carl would point to an area and ask Itaqua to cover that area with snowflakes so that he could have a snowball fight.

But later Carl paid the price for this, because one time he asked Itaqua to cover a slope with ice and snow for him so that he could try out the sled he made.

Of course Itaqua was unwilling, because he really didn't think that the sled that Carl made of a few rusty nails and broken wooden strips, which was so broken that it couldn't even be called a sled, could be safe.

But unable to bear Carl's constant crying, Itakuya had no choice but to agree, and then,

The tragedy happened.

At that moment, compared to Carl, Itakuya was filled with despair and helplessness, and he deeply believed that he was definitely doomed this time.

There is no doubt that he was certain that he would be ruthlessly driven off the land by the majestic owner of the manor.

After all, Karl is the manor owner's own flesh and blood! In this case, how could the manor owner not favor his own child and choose to stand on his side?

However, what Itakuya never expected was that after the owner of the manor learned the whole story in detail, although he still showed deep love for Carl in his eyes,

But he unexpectedly reprimanded Carl severely and sternly warned him not to do such a dangerous thing again in the future!

Then, when the manor owner's arm slowly stretched out to him, Itakuya instinctively closed his eyes tightly and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He fully expected that what awaited him would be a severe scolding or even punishment.

But to his great surprise, what finally landed on his shoulder was not the heavy blow he had imagined, but the soothing feeling brought by the manor owner's warm palm gently patting him.

All I heard was the owner of the manor saying earnestly: "My child, this matter is not your fault."

I don’t know why, but after experiencing these two things, Itakuya started to behave like a child in the manor.

He began playing in the garden with Carl and Andrew, getting himself dirty and having harmless little tantrums because his favorite dessert was not available in the restaurant.

But....so what? Everyone is happy about Itakuya's changes.

.................................................. ..................

Okay, back to the topic.

"Matthias, what are you wearing? Were you burned by fire?"

No wonder Frederick asked this. What is Mathias wearing now? How should I put it?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it has just been burned by fire. Not only are there a few holes burned by the flames, but many places are even blackened.

Matthias's own face and hands even had black marks from where he had slapped himself in the face with coal dust.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Frederick himself understood it first.

It turns out that for Mathias, the most important thing in his life was the theater fire...

If you think about it, it makes sense, because because of the fire, Mathias left those parents who didn't care about him at all. Parents who can make money crazily by stepping on the corpse of their own child don't seem like good people no matter how you look at it.

Matthias left feeling relieved.

It's just a bit hard for "Louis". From the beginning, Frederick has been hearing "Louis" muttering that he really doesn't know what Mathias is thinking. He has so many nice clothes, but he makes himself look like this.

But to be honest, Frederick felt that the reason why "Louie" hadn't stopped talking since just now was because Matthias had also smeared coal dust on his body, making "Louie" dirty, and "Louie" was angry.
