This year, the great genius, the founder of alternating current, and physicist Nikola Tesla came to London, England, and gave a special lecture at the Royal Academy of Sciences.
To use Mr. Tesla's own words after the event, it is--the British guys who sat and stared at him in the audience obviously couldn't understand the "genius" of geniuses, and they all looked up like stupid quails. I tried my best to pretend that I understood it, so it's not a big deal to talk about it.
However, having said that, Mr. Tesla changed his voice slightly at the end of his speech, and added an extra sentence reluctantly: "Well, not all of them, this point must be admitted anyway. There are still one or two people They don't seem so stupid in the crowd, although they obviously don't understand much, but at least, the attitude shown is not bad."
Such an evaluation can be said from the mouth of Mr. Nikola Tesla, who considers himself a genius. If the object of the evaluation can know it, it may be so gratifying.
The "one or two people" Tesla mentioned were actually two people.
That is, when Tesla gave a report at the Royal Academy of Sciences, he stood on the high platform with the most abundant lights, facing a group of densely packed human heads below—these were born from the fact that these people either wore exquisite wigs, or were simply bald on the top of their heads. , well-dressed elders, genius scientists basically ignore them.
However, although he wanted to ignore them equally, Tesla just glanced down, and he caught sight of the two people who were completely different from the other people present, and they could almost be said to have an abrupt style of painting.
One of them was a standard aristocratic lord, from the hair that was not messy at all to the clothes that were exquisitely crafted and made of extremely expensive materials, every detail proved this.
But what puzzled Tesla was that this old man looked young, but he had white hair, and his eyes did not look like the arrogance common to nobles, but were surprisingly cold, with subtle differences between the inside and the outside. Ambivalence.
As for the other person who was noticed by Tesla, it was even more abrupt.
The two of them came in through the back door quietly in the middle of the report meeting, so they sat in the last row as they should. Except for Tesla standing on a high place, no one else in the hall miraculously notice them.
And that... woman sitting next to the white-haired nobleman?
Is it a woman?
At that time, a trace of uncertain doubts slipped through the heart of the genius who had always been confident.
That person was indeed wearing a long skirt, with the complicated pendants and gauze fringes that most women love most, and it tightly covered all the places under the face, down to the soles of the shoes—— Even the face!
His face was covered by a veil, except for a pair of blue eyes.
If this person is a woman, her figure is slightly stronger, not as soft.But if it is a man...
That would be incredible.
For some reason, the genius suddenly thought this way for a moment.
Of course, there was really only such a moment, because after that, he completely immersed himself in the endless ocean of science and electricity, so he didn't bother to care about the boring passers-by who had nothing to do with alternating current whether they were nobles, men or women. on the question.
"Clap clap clap-"
A few hours later, accompanied by applause that sounded enthusiastic, but actually didn't have much real emotion, Nikola Tesla's report meeting came to an end.
Genius scientists hate the one-sentence exchange after each report meeting, or the simple and clear mutual flattery, but even he can't pack up his things and walk away without looking back.
Tesla held back his impatience and communicated with the British people he didn't know and didn't want to know for a long time before he was able to step out of the main entrance of the lecture hall.
At that time, when he took a step out of the door, he caught a glimpse of someone waiting in the corridor outside the door, as if waiting for him.And, the people who waited for hours were those two strange people that Tesla noticed not long ago.
"Hello, Mr. Tesla, we have heard about your research and have long admired you. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to meet with you in person today."
The white-haired nobleman was the first to speak, and the first to extend a friendly right hand to Tesla.
Tesla's footsteps stopped.
The attitude towards strangers who may not understand the importance of his great invention, and the attitude towards "fans" who may not understand, but they are full of admiration and understanding for him, the two are obviously different. should also be different.
"Oh—hello." Tesla said, with easily detectable joy and satisfaction in his high-pitched voice: "What? Admire me? Haha——then can you tell me something about today's incident? What do you think of the content of the report?"
The nobleman's complexion did not change, and without pausing for a moment, he expressed his opinions eloquently.
Tesla pricked up his ears to hear the end carefully, and his heart was undoubtedly shaken.He has to admit that this person's opinion is quite reasonable, although it is not as deep as the original inventor, but there are still some aspects mentioned in the current words that he has never thought of. ——I can think of it soon even if no one reminds me! - a new perspective.
"........."
After only being silent for a short while, the genius scientist, who felt challenged by his admirers, suddenly lifted his spirits, and right here, he started arguing and discussing with his admirers without any scruples.
And the other party didn't even refuse.
The two debated for a long time with occasional interruptions, until the Royal Academy of Sciences was about to close at night, and it was barely over.
"Too—it's a pity, you are British." Tesla said very dissatisfied: "But my laboratory is in the United States. If conditions permit, I must invite you to New York to visit my laboratory."
Visiting is secondary.
The main purpose is to further show the world-changing achievements born from the hands of Nikola Tesla.
The nobleman who expressed his regret and dissatisfaction in person smiled politely, and his answer made Tesla a little surprised: "Your genius act, we have already witnessed it, is indeed a great achievement that changed the world. "
At this moment, the blue-eyed man who had been watching them mildly before, without interrupting, finally spoke.
"Long time no see, Mr. Tesla. I am very relieved to see that you are safe and sound. I look forward to seeing you again in the future."
Tesla: "...What???"
What is "long time no see", when did you meet before?
Simply inexplicable.
He felt more and more that the two admirers were full of strangeness, and when he was about to ask questions——
For some reason, my eyes suddenly blurred, and my mind became dizzy.
When he leaned against the wall and regained his footing, he opened his eyes and was shocked to find that the two people who were standing in front of him had disappeared at the same time.
There were no figures or traces, leaving only a series of confusions for the shocked and bewildered Tesla.
...Well, at least one of the puzzles has been answered.
That person is a man, not a woman, you can tell by the voice.
Tesla felt a lot more at ease because of this.Not long after, he returned to New York and quickly forgot about the episode.
--What?Why do you think you don't care so much about men who feel that they should be all over the country without showing their faces?
Tesla said: "I don't bother to care whether he wears men's clothes or women's clothes. Don't delay my experiment!"
……
……
No need to guess, the two "admirers" who came to the Royal Academy of Sciences to meet Nikola Tesla were Edmund and Airlie.
At this time, nearly a year has passed since the day when the outsider accepted the judgment of the arbitrator.
Logically speaking, the culprit who indirectly led to the demise of mankind has been executed. The two heroic spirits for this purpose, Ruler and Avenger, have completed their mission perfectly and can return to the throne of heroic spirits.
However, maybe the Alayas have forgotten them after solving the potential threat. They did not go back home for the time being, but were lucky to stay. Judging from the current situation, the time they can stay is still quite short. long.
This also happened to be Ellie's wish, and he couldn't wish for it.
After such a long time, he was delighted to be able to meet Edmund, who had become a Heroic Spirit, again. If he had to part again so soon, he would always feel regretful and reluctant.
What's more, there is still an important agreement that has not been fulfilled - if she left quietly, Mrs. Bennet might be disappointed.
therefore.
In the past year that has passed, many things have happened.
As the original trajectory of fate, Jane Bennett, the eldest sister of the Bennett family, took the lead in marrying Mr. Bingley who happened to meet at the young people's party provided by the Earl of Monte Cristo.
The next step into the palace of happy marriage is of course dear Miss Elizabeth.
The man who took the oath hand in hand with her in the church was, as expected, her destined Mr. Darcy. They met earlier than Jane and Bingley, at the engagement banquet of the earl and countess.
Coincidentally, even though the time and place where Elizabeth and Darcy meet have changed from the original fate, the process of falling in love is still roughly the same.
Mixed with various misunderstandings caused by coincidences and misunderstandings caused by personality differences, the lady who was misled by prejudice and the superficially arrogant gentleman resolved misunderstandings one after another, and finally resolutely overcame the setbacks of family background and status differences, and successfully walked away. got together.
In fact, to be honest, their love was even less tested than the "original" - Elizabeth's spoiled sister Lydia and Darcy's enemy Wickham eloped, causing quite serious problems as a result of.
But now, there is no such person as Wickham.
Lydia is still the same arrogant, stupid and short-sighted Lydia, but before she played her stupidity and was coaxed by the second Wickham to elope, a thunderous and powerful suppression fell from the sky, even if it could not be cured, at least it would It changed her bad personality a lot, and she won't be easily attracted by the red uniforms of the officers.
Lydia's obsessed dream girl turns out to be Airlie.
The reason is also very simple. After seeing such a good-looking man, other men in this world seem so-so.
How Lydia wants to marry "Master Angel"!
Even if he can't do anything, doesn't have an annual income of five thousand pounds, doesn't have a house, doesn't have a manor... As long as he has such a pretty face and smiles at her every day, she can faint happily.
But... just, just can't get it done!
The terrible Count of Monte Cristo found out the first time Lydia stared at Ellie's back while biting her handkerchief.
That dreadful—dreadful, dreadful Lord Earl!She even paid for it by herself, and used the lady training as an excuse to send a team of teachers to the three young daughters of the Bennett family except the eldest sister and the second sister, and let them learn what they like according to their own preferences, anyway. You have to learn, don't let your eyes stick to the back of the "Countess" and can't be pulled off.
Lydia, who was greedy for cheap, took all the courses in one go. She never expected that the Earl would target a little girl like her, who was dying in the ocean of learning every day. She was so painful that she was so busy. The adult's voice and smile are almost forgotten.
After she was finally liberated from her studies, Lydia's character flaws, large and small, were cured, and she was completely reformed. Now let her be cheated away by a man who is only a shell and has no connotation. It is absolutely impossible.
The next progress is also logical.
The ladies who have been forcibly transformed have basically corrected the "original" problems, big or small, and have waited for the most suitable fiancé at the best age.In this regard, Airlie specifically stated that they absolutely did not arrange a marriage, all they can do is provide an opportunity.
True happiness requires you to wait for yourself, to find it yourself, to hold it in your hands——
"...the end of Miss Elizabeth's letter is just such a sentence. Do you think it makes sense, Edmund?"
What Airlie held in his hand was the letter paper that had been removed from the envelope a few chapters ago.
This is already the second letter from Miss Elizabeth after her marriage.
After completing the agreement with Mrs. Bennet, Airlie decided to leave Longbourne after discussing with Edmund, taking this opportunity to stay for a long time, and take a look around this familiar and strange world.
This is the so-called "tourism", right?
Airlie has been to many places, but that's because the master who summoned him came from all corners of the world, he went there, stayed there for a while, and then returned to the throne of heroes.
"Travel" with friends, companions, and trusted people, from one place to another, feel the local customs, enjoy delicious food, and then go to the next place with a relaxed and happy mood...
This was the first time for Ellie, he felt the novelty, and he could not restrain his heart to fly a little bit.
The address previously left for Elizabeth was a certain residence in London. They had just met with Mr. Tesla, who had not yet become a Heroic Spirit, and were planning to leave for France after a day of rest.
Elizabeth's letter came just in time, and Airlie just happened to be able to answer it before leaving.
Regarding a detail just mentioned: the letter he is holding now is the second letter, and the first letter was sent by Elizabeth after her marriage.
"I haven't forgotten the question you asked me at that time." Miss Elizabeth wrote very frankly in the letter: "Ask how I fell in love with a certain gentleman, and how I felt the love for me from him — Haha, I can finally answer now.”
"My dear Mr. Darcy and I have had a hard time getting to that point where we can talk to each other. I think he's a particularly haughty, unreasonable gentleman, and he probably thinks me a rude, even A lady whose beauty is only so superficial, oh, that's really..."
"How did we get close? It's very simple. He let go of his gentleman's reserve and bravely poured out his heart to me. After realizing his superiority, he immediately reflected on his mistakes and corrected them in time. And I also realized that Our own mistakes, bravely accept him, and are willing to face all difficulties that hinder us with him. Therefore, we love each other, so we have no fear."
"As for the last question..."
"From the eyes, from the window to the soul that every human being has. Whether it was before or now, Mr. Darcy's eyes are restrained and fiery. When I tear off the gauze of prejudice that covers my eyes, I really When I saw his eyes, my heart was warmed by the gentle but turbulent fire, and I wanted to get closer to him so that he didn't have to suppress his enthusiasm."
"So--"
Elizabeth's pen turned slightly.Through the letter paper, it seems that the astute lady—no, it should be Mrs. now—shows a sly smile to the reader.
"And you? Did you notice? Did you feel? Did you find the owner of those eyes that begged you to come closer?"
"If I take this opportunity to ask you these questions, the answer is yes. Lord Airlie, how happy you are! I beg you, I hope you, must respond, whether it is a refusal or a promise."
what……
Is that right?
It is conceivable that Ellie at that moment, deep in his heart, really felt "happiness".
some.
Although he didn't realize it until now.
It turned out that it was "love" - many, more than one pair of eyes conveyed such deep feelings.
He then struggled out of "happiness" in time, and got the sadness and uncalmness that made his heart heavy.He didn't notice it, he didn't respond... This is indifference, after realizing this, bigger and deeper doubts surfaced, what should he do?
The owner of the nearest pair of eyes revealing "love" is behind him.
Ellie looked back sharply.
The man who seemed to hide himself in a deep shadow was silent as always, staring at him in silence as always.
When the prison tower was parting, Ellie was touched for the first time by the last desperate gaze cast by Avenger. Then, as the years passed, when they met again here, Ellie cast the depressive but fiery gaze from this moment. In his eyes, he was touched again.
"Edmund."
He raised his hand subconsciously, and the man subconsciously squeezed his outstretched palm.
"You—'love' me, don't you?"
Airlie asked.
When the words came to a close, the strength in the man's hands suddenly became heavy, his body seemed to tilt a bit, his already pale complexion became even paler, as if his thoughts that could not be revealed in the light had been exposed, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.
However, Airlie didn't seem to feel the pain, instead he hit the back of the covering man's hand with his other hand.
Because of this movement, the man seemed to slow down slowly.
First, the body no longer tilted, and the trembling pupils no longer showed panic and flashing black struggles.Edmund, he seemed to "live", and the faint blood returned to the blood vessels under the skin, even more than before.
"Yes……"
"What makes me restless, what makes me never stop pursuing until the end - this decisive and passionate feeling is 'love'."
the love for you.
It made me miserable and desperate, and when I saw you again, I fell into an abyss even worse than before.
But even so...
It could no longer be suppressed, because the light he was chasing stopped, and at this moment, it was right in front of him.
So, he roared silently.
"I love you so much!"
"No, no, no—response, you can't yet, the time is not ripe, you who have listened to my true heart have not yet grown to the point where you can respond to me."
Ellie's heart was also struggling, even more painful than the man's.
He whispered, "Don't say that, Edmund. I can learn, from human books, and anything that can enlighten me... anything..."
"Do not."
Edmund denied him again.
"Love is not a feeling that can be learned and understood. It can only be accumulated slowly, or just touched for a moment."
"Just wait."
Whether it's you who are struggling in confusion, or me who wants to plunder very much, but in the end I still forcibly endured it.
"Then, hope."
……
……
After many years.
A piece of sea near Marseille, France, is suffering from a sudden storm.
At this time, in the center of the most violent vortex where the gnawing waves rolled over, there was a merchant ship still struggling to support.
The cargo piled up on the deck has long been swept away by the sea, and even the figures of the sailors who tried their best to tighten the sail ropes before have disappeared by most of them.Among them, what a pity—it also included Edmund Dantès, a young sailor who had only recently taken over the helm and was favored by the captain of the Pharaoh.
How young must he be?
It's only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He has cool black hair, and his complexion is tanned by the sun on the sea. He often smiles sincerely and cheerfully to his colleagues on the same boat, and also shows exceptionally white teeth.
But now, the sincere and young Dantès was sucked into the vortex at the bottom of the boat as soon as the waves rolled.
He swung his limbs desperately to escape, but he still couldn't get rid of the endless power of nature. He was suffocated in the deeper and darker sea water, and there was no longer any light in front of him.
——Save...God...Please...
It seems that it is the last moment of his life, and Dantès is helplessly begging God to bring him a miracle.
It's a miracle...
Miracle……
Silence.
Silence.
A deathly silence—I don't know how long it lasted.
"........."
"is it him?"
"Tsk, if this is fate, I will never admit it...Forget it, let's get it first."
Dantès, who was half awake, lightened his body. Accompanied by the splashing sailors, he seemed to be lifted up by several people, moved into a warm room, and placed on a couch with a soft mattress and a stove.
The slightly deep voice that came to my ears in a daze at first belonged to a man.At this time, someone spoke again, his voice was clearer than the previous one, but for some reason, when he heard his voice that became intermittent when it reached his ears, Dantès, who should have been unconscious, suddenly became more ignorant. I feel warmer.
"Even though they are not the same person in essence, their appearance...is the same? Is this... the previous you? Edmund?"
"..."
The man being asked didn't seem to want to answer the question.
That's right, the old me was just that stupid, with a sunny aura that was even more disgusting than the one you met first—do you want to answer like that? !
The words that followed faded away.
Dantès didn't know how long he had been in a coma...probably, a long, long time.
All in all, when he finally arrived at the boundary where he was about to wake up, the boat that he was on which he didn't know belonged to shook and docked.
Dantès was put on a stretcher again, and was carried on the deck to the port of Marseilles.
Marseille, his hometown, a safe haven for his favorite people.
And when he slowly smelled the salty smell hidden in the sea breeze that only belonged to Marseille, the wind also sent the last conversation to his ears.
"Goodbye, Ellie."
"Goodbye, Edmund."
"Our reunion, for sure, will be soon."
*****
thank you all.
It is held routinely every day, and the number of times varies from once to multiple times. The uninterrupted Chaldean Brawl has started again.
In this chaos, we can see that the people who fought again and again are indeed the recognized duo of kings (chaos) and (eggs), the great pharaoh and the great hero king.
The ceiling and floor of Chaldea continued to tremble, and the training room was demolished over and over again. Leonardo Da Vinci greeted him early and told the staff not to repair it, but let the training room break down. Anyway, if it is repaired, it will be destroyed again. .
Of course, the focus should not be on the kings (challengers) (accounts), let’s pay attention to the poor last master of human beings, Fujimaru Tachika.
"…………"
Today's Master Fujimaru Tachika is already squatting in the corner of the training room, protected by Mash carrying a shield.
Occasionally, a few pieces of unstoppable gravel jumped over the shield and hit the boy's head.It hurt, but Fujimaru Tatsuka didn't move.
Now he has successfully passed the initial stage of panic and hysterical collapse and screaming.
Now, his heart is like still water, and his calm face is covered with an otherworldly brilliance, but the water is a pool of stagnant water, and what swims in his eyes are two dead fish with their white bellies turned up.
"three two……"
Counting silently for no reason.
really--
When counting to "one".
Fujimaru Tachika, who was squatting behind Mash's back, was picked up by someone with one hand—no, two different people each gave a hand.
"Golden, Yu's patience finally fell below the bottom line."
The pharaoh on the left said somberly.
"Sun, this king is also tired of your disgusting face."
The hero king on the right said with a gloomy face.
"Today, Yu/Ben Wang personally summons the lost concubine!"
The latter sentence was said to Fujimaru Tachika.
Fujimaru Tachika, whose heart was still like water, was carried into the summoning room just like that.After he came in, he just changed the place where he squatted from the training room to the summoning room.
He silently stared at the two kings as if he had changed the way of competition, throwing piles of holy crystals into the summoning circle as if they didn't need money.
Fujimaru Tachika (finally fluctuated a little): "Ah... really rich..."
Sorry, but he has given up hope.
Anyway, no matter how hard he threw the stone, Caster would not respond to the call, and no one else would do it.
"Anyway, it won't be Caster who is summoned. I guess it's something completely irrelevant—"
Saying so.
In front of the summoning formation, the Pharaoh had the upper hand in the battle for the summoning formation. With one stick, he slapped the King of Heroes to the back and activated the summoning formation first.
Then, as expected.
IPL!
Familiar IPL!
And after the colorful lights ended, the person who appeared in the center of the summoning circle under the eyes of everyone...
Pharaoh: "... what?!"
King of Heroes: "...Hahahahahahahahaha the sun! That's all you can do!"
Fujimaru Tachika: "...I knew it!"
Appearing in the summoning circle was a man who wrapped himself in a cloak, like a noble from a western country in the world.
When this man saw the two kings in front of the summoning formation, and Fujimaru Tachika who was shedding tears of misery peacefully, he even showed an expression that was even more incomprehensible than them, as if he had swallowed three flies.
Ozymandias' anger has accumulated for a long time and has climbed to the highest value.
"Isn't the heroic spirit who has the greatest relationship with Yu the princess of Yu! Who are you!"
Edmund: "..."
That's right, he also wanted to ask, what kind of relationship does he have with Pharaoh——
……and many more.
I remembered.
Coincidentally, the name of the merchant ship he worked on was "Pharaoh".
To use Mr. Tesla's own words after the event, it is--the British guys who sat and stared at him in the audience obviously couldn't understand the "genius" of geniuses, and they all looked up like stupid quails. I tried my best to pretend that I understood it, so it's not a big deal to talk about it.
However, having said that, Mr. Tesla changed his voice slightly at the end of his speech, and added an extra sentence reluctantly: "Well, not all of them, this point must be admitted anyway.

The next step into the palace of happy marriage is of course dear Miss Elizabeth.
The man who took the oath hand in hand with her in the church was, as expected, her destined Mr. Darcy. They met earlier than Jane and Bingley, at the engagement banquet of the earl and countess.
Coincidentally, even though the time and place where Elizabeth and Darcy meet have changed from the original fate, the process of falling in love is still roughly the same.
Mixed with various misunderstandings caused by coincidences and misunderstandings caused by personality differences, the lady who was misled by prejudice and the superficially arrogant gentleman resolved misunderstandings one after another, and finally resolutely overcame the setbacks of family background and status differences, and successfully walked away. got together.
In fact, to be honest, their love was even less tested than the "original" - Elizabeth's spoiled sister Lydia and Darcy's enemy Wickham eloped, causing quite serious problems as a result of.
But now, there is no such person as Wickham.
Lydia is still the same arrogant, stupid and short-sighted Lydia, but before she played her stupidity and was coaxed by the second Wickham to elope, a thunderous and powerful suppression fell from the sky, even if it could not be cured, at least it would It changed her bad personality a lot, and she won't be easily attracted by the red uniforms of the officers.
Lydia's obsessed dream girl turns out to be Airlie.
The reason is also very simple. After seeing such a good-looking man, other men in this world seem so-so.
How Lydia wants to marry "Master Angel"!
Even if he can't do anything, doesn't have an annual income of five thousand pounds, doesn't have a house, doesn't have a manor... As long as he has such a pretty face and smiles at her every day, she can faint happily.
But... just, just can't get it done!
The terrible Count of Monte Cristo found out the first time Lydia stared at Ellie's back while biting her handkerchief.
That dreadful—dreadful, dreadful Lord Earl!She even paid for it by herself, and used the lady training as an excuse to send a team of teachers to the three young daughters of the Bennett family except the eldest sister and the second sister, and let them learn what they like according to their own preferences, anyway. You have to learn, don't let your eyes stick to the back of the "Countess" and can't be pulled off.
Lydia, who was greedy for cheap, took all the courses in one go. She never expected that the Earl would target a little girl like her, who was dying in the ocean of learning every day. She was so painful that she was so busy. The adult's voice and smile are almost forgotten.
After she was finally liberated from her studies, Lydia's character flaws, large and small, were cured, and she was completely reformed. Now let her be cheated away by a man who is only a shell and has no connotation. It is absolutely impossible.
The next progress is also logical.
The ladies who have been forcibly transformed have basically corrected the "original" problems, big or small, and have waited for the most suitable fiancé at the best age.In this regard, Airlie specifically stated that they absolutely did not arrange a marriage, all they can do is provide an opportunity.
True happiness requires you to wait for yourself, to find it yourself, to hold it in your hands——
"...the end of Miss Elizabeth's letter is just such a sentence. Do you think it makes sense, Edmund?"
What Airlie held in his hand was the letter paper that had been removed from the envelope a few chapters ago.
This is already the second letter from Miss Elizabeth after her marriage.
After completing the agreement with Mrs. Bennet, Airlie decided to leave Longbourne after discussing with Edmund, taking this opportunity to stay for a long time, and take a look around this familiar and strange world.
This is the so-called "tourism", right?
Airlie has been to many places, but that's because the master who summoned him came from all corners of the world, he went there, stayed there for a while, and then returned to the throne of heroes.
"Travel" with friends, companions, and trusted people, from one place to another, feel the local customs, enjoy delicious food, and then go to the next place with a relaxed and happy mood...
This was the first time for Ellie, he felt the novelty, and he could not restrain his heart to fly a little bit.
The address previously left for Elizabeth was a certain residence in London. They had just met with Mr. Tesla, who had not yet become a Heroic Spirit, and were planning to leave for France after a day of rest.
Elizabeth's letter came just in time, and Airlie just happened to be able to answer it before leaving.
Regarding a detail just mentioned: the letter he is holding now is the second letter, and the first letter was sent by Elizabeth after her marriage.
"I haven't forgotten the question you asked me at that time." Miss Elizabeth wrote very frankly in the letter: "Ask how I fell in love with a certain gentleman, and how I felt the love for me from him — Haha, I can finally answer now.”
"My dear Mr. Darcy and I have had a hard time getting to that point where we can talk to each other. I think he's a particularly haughty, unreasonable gentleman, and he probably thinks me a rude, even A lady whose beauty is only so superficial, oh, that's really..."
"How did we get close? It's very simple. He let go of his gentleman's reserve and bravely poured out his heart to me. After realizing his superiority, he immediately reflected on his mistakes and corrected them in time. And I also realized that Our own mistakes, bravely accept him, and are willing to face all difficulties that hinder us with him. Therefore, we love each other, so we have no fear."
"As for the last question..."
"From the eyes, from the window to the soul that every human being has. Whether it was before or now, Mr. Darcy's eyes are restrained and fiery. When I tear off the gauze of prejudice that covers my eyes, I really When I saw his eyes, my heart was warmed by the gentle but turbulent fire, and I wanted to get closer to him so that he didn't have to suppress his enthusiasm."
"So--"
Elizabeth's pen turned slightly.Through the letter paper, it seems that the astute lady—no, it should be Mrs. now—shows a sly smile to the reader.
"And you? Did you notice? Did you feel? Did you find the owner of those eyes that begged you to come closer?"
"If I take this opportunity to ask you these questions, the answer is yes. Lord Airlie, how happy you are! I beg you, I hope you, must respond, whether it is a refusal or a promise."
what……
Is that right?
It is conceivable that Ellie at that moment, deep in his heart, really felt "happiness".
some.
Although he didn't realize it until now.
It turned out that it was "love" - many, more than one pair of eyes conveyed such deep feelings.
He then struggled out of "happiness" in time, and got the sadness and uncalmness that made his heart heavy.He didn't notice it, he didn't respond... This is indifference, after realizing this, bigger and deeper doubts surfaced, what should he do?
The owner of the nearest pair of eyes revealing "love" is behind him.
Ellie looked back sharply.
The man who seemed to hide himself in a deep shadow was silent as always, staring at him in silence as always.
When the prison tower was parting, Ellie was touched for the first time by the last desperate gaze cast by Avenger. Then, as the years passed, when they met again here, Ellie cast the depressive but fiery gaze from this moment. In his eyes, he was touched again.
"Edmund."
He raised his hand subconsciously, and the man subconsciously squeezed his outstretched palm.
"You—'love' me, don't you?"
Airlie asked.
When the words came to a close, the strength in the man's hands suddenly became heavy, his body seemed to tilt a bit, his already pale complexion became even paler, as if his thoughts that could not be revealed in the light had been exposed, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.
However, Airlie didn't seem to feel the pain, instead he hit the back of the covering man's hand with his other hand.
Because of this movement, the man seemed to slow down slowly.
First, the body no longer tilted, and the trembling pupils no longer showed panic and flashing black struggles.Edmund, he seemed to "live", and the faint blood returned to the blood vessels under the skin, even more than before.
"Yes……"
"What makes me restless, what makes me never stop pursuing until the end - this decisive and passionate feeling is 'love'."
the love for you.
It made me miserable and desperate, and when I saw you again, I fell into an abyss even worse than before.
But even so...
It could no longer be suppressed, because the light he was chasing stopped, and at this moment, it was right in front of him.
So, he roared silently.
"I love you so much!"
"No, no, no—response, you can't yet, the time is not ripe, you who have listened to my true heart have not yet grown to the point where you can respond to me."
Ellie's heart was also struggling, even more painful than the man's.
He whispered, "Don't say that, Edmund. I can learn, from human books, and anything that can enlighten me... anything..."
"Do not."
Edmund denied him again.
"Love is not a feeling that can be learned and understood. It can only be accumulated slowly, or just touched for a moment."
"Just wait."
Whether it's you who are struggling in confusion, or me who wants to plunder very much, but in the end I still forcibly endured it.
"Then, hope."
……
……
After many years.
A piece of sea near Marseille, France, is suffering from a sudden storm.
At this time, in the center of the most violent vortex where the gnawing waves rolled over, there was a merchant ship still struggling to support.
The cargo piled up on the deck has long been swept away by the sea, and even the figures of the sailors who tried their best to tighten the sail ropes before have disappeared by most of them.Among them, what a pity—it also included Edmund Dantès, a young sailor who had only recently taken over the helm and was favored by the captain of the Pharaoh.
How young must he be?
It's only fifteen or sixteen years old.
He has cool black hair, and his complexion is tanned by the sun on the sea. He often smiles sincerely and cheerfully to his colleagues on the same boat, and also shows exceptionally white teeth.
But now, the sincere and young Dantès was sucked into the vortex at the bottom of the boat as soon as the waves rolled.
He swung his limbs desperately to escape, but he still couldn't get rid of the endless power of nature. He was suffocated in the deeper and darker sea water, and there was no longer any light in front of him.
——Save...God...Please...
It seems that it is the last moment of his life, and Dantès is helplessly begging God to bring him a miracle.
It's a miracle...
Miracle……
Silence.
Silence.
A deathly silence—I don't know how long it lasted.
"........."
"is it him?"
"Tsk, if this is fate, I will never admit it...Forget it, let's get it first."
Dantès, who was half awake, lightened his body. Accompanied by the splashing sailors, he seemed to be lifted up by several people, moved into a warm room, and placed on a couch with a soft mattress and a stove.
The slightly deep voice that came to my ears in a daze at first belonged to a man.At this time, someone spoke again, his voice was clearer than the previous one, but for some reason, when he heard his voice that became intermittent when it reached his ears, Dantès, who should have been unconscious, suddenly became more ignorant. I feel warmer.
"Even though they are not the same person in essence, their appearance...is the same? Is this... the previous you? Edmund?"
"..."
The man being asked didn't seem to want to answer the question.
That's right, the old me was just that stupid, with a sunny aura that was even more disgusting than the one you met first—do you want to answer like that? !
The words that followed faded away.
Dantès didn't know how long he had been in a coma...probably, a long, long time.
All in all, when he finally arrived at the boundary where he was about to wake up, the boat that he was on which he didn't know belonged to shook and docked.
Dantès was put on a stretcher again, and was carried on the deck to the port of Marseilles.
Marseille, his hometown, a safe haven for his favorite people.
And when he slowly smelled the salty smell hidden in the sea breeze that only belonged to Marseille, the wind also sent the last conversation to his ears.
"Goodbye, Ellie."
"Goodbye, Edmund."
"Our reunion, for sure, will be soon."
*****
thank you all.
It is held routinely every day, and the number of times varies from once to multiple times. The uninterrupted Chaldean Brawl has started again.
In this chaos, we can see that the people who fought again and again are indeed the recognized duo of kings (chaos) and (eggs), the great pharaoh and the great hero king.
The ceiling and floor of Chaldea continued to tremble, and the training room was demolished over and over again. Leonardo Da Vinci greeted him early and told the staff not to repair it, but let the training room break down. Anyway, if it is repaired, it will be destroyed again. .
Of course, the focus should not be on the kings (challengers) (accounts), let’s pay attention to the poor last master of human beings, Fujimaru Tachika.
"…………"
Today's Master Fujimaru Tachika is already squatting in the corner of the training room, protected by Mash carrying a shield.
Occasionally, a few pieces of unstoppable gravel jumped over the shield and hit the boy's head.It hurt, but Fujimaru Tatsuka didn't move.
Now he has successfully passed the initial stage of panic and hysterical collapse and screaming.
Now, his heart is like still water, and his calm face is covered with an otherworldly brilliance, but the water is a pool of stagnant water, and what swims in his eyes are two dead fish with their white bellies turned up.
"three two……"
Counting silently for no reason.
really--
When counting to "one".
Fujimaru Tachika, who was squatting behind Mash's back, was picked up by someone with one hand—no, two different people each gave a hand.
"Golden, Yu's patience finally fell below the bottom line."
The pharaoh on the left said somberly.
"Sun, this king is also tired of your disgusting face."
The hero king on the right said with a gloomy face.
"Today, Yu/Ben Wang personally summons the lost concubine!"
The latter sentence was said to Fujimaru Tachika.
Fujimaru Tachika, whose heart was still like water, was carried into the summoning room just like that.After he came in, he just changed the place where he squatted from the training room to the summoning room.
He silently stared at the two kings as if he had changed the way of competition, throwing piles of holy crystals into the summoning circle as if they didn't need money.
Fujimaru Tachika (finally fluctuated a little): "Ah... really rich..."
Sorry, but he has given up hope.
Anyway, no matter how hard he threw the stone, Caster would not respond to the call, and no one else would do it.
"Anyway, it won't be Caster who is summoned. I guess it's something completely irrelevant—"
Saying so.
In front of the summoning formation, the Pharaoh had the upper hand in the battle for the summoning formation. With one stick, he slapped the King of Heroes to the back and activated the summoning formation first.
Then, as expected.
IPL!
Familiar IPL!
And after the colorful lights ended, the person who appeared in the center of the summoning circle under the eyes of everyone...
Pharaoh: "... what?!"
King of Heroes: "...Hahahahahahahahaha the sun! That's all you can do!"
Fujimaru Tachika: "...I knew it!"
Appearing in the summoning circle was a man who wrapped himself in a cloak, like a noble from a western country in the world.
When this man saw the two kings in front of the summoning formation, and Fujimaru Tachika who was shedding tears of misery peacefully, he even showed an expression that was even more incomprehensible than them, as if he had swallowed three flies.
Ozymandias' anger has accumulated for a long time and has climbed to the highest value.
"Isn't the heroic spirit who has the greatest relationship with Yu the princess of Yu! Who are you!"
Edmund: "..."
That's right, he also wanted to ask, what kind of relationship does he have with Pharaoh——
……and many more.
I remembered.
Coincidentally, the name of the merchant ship he worked on was "Pharaoh".
