How to become a sea witch
Chapter 42, Part thirty eight
To be honest, Bernice doesn't understand the behavior of human beings who bind "marriage" with countless exquisite pettiskirts,?, jewelry, diamonds, flowers and drinks, but appreciate it very much.
After all, she just likes all kinds of shiny and precious things.
It's just that until today, she didn't realize that Jingjingjing was such a heavy and exhausting thing.
After a whole day of trying on wedding dresses and matching jewelry,? Finally, Silvedu and Chao Ling nodded at the same time to express their satisfaction.
Bernice, with her hungry eyes spinning fast, tried her best to crawl out from the pile of thin veils and skirts that were more terrifying than Ursula's wrists, driven by the extreme hunger in her belly ,? Get ready to roll into the sea as fast as you can to hunt.
She didn't even have time to change her clothes,? She took off the pair of high heels that brought her too many mobility challenges, and put them on the cloud-like fluffy layered gauze skirt as lightly as possible,? Instead of kicking and throwing it aside.
Sure enough, I still can't understand,? How can the delicate and fragile translucent crystal texture be able to support her full weight?
In her opinion, this kind of glass slipper should be stored in the collection cabinet instead of being worn on her feet. She was so nervous that she had to be careful when walking.
"You don't have to be so cautious, Bernice." Sylviedo saw her concerns, and while waving his fingers, he put all the scattered jewelry and wedding dresses back to their original positions, and explained in a brisk tone, "They It is stronger than the backbone of a baby dragon, so it won't be a problem if you throw it directly on the ground."
"I can't bear to throw away such beautiful shoes." Bernice said sincerely,? Especially considering that if it is damaged,? It is definitely not to the extent that she can afford compensation,? She is even more in awe of these shiny shoes.
"It's really great that you like it." Silvedu laughed.
Struggling to pick up the overly long veil and skirt, Bernice carefully groped for the hairpin and hair crown on her head, and was about to take them off, but Chao Ling called out first: "Miss Sea Witch, please wait a while before you leave." Take it."
Facing her obviously puzzled eyes, Chao Ling continued to explain: "His Majesty Poseidon will come to accompany you through the wedding process in a while."
After hearing this sentence, Bernice almost fainted from hunger: "The process?!"
So the human marriage ceremony is actually the same as the burial, and it also has a series of complicated and detailed processes?
No wonder so many people are preaching that marriage is a tomb. Is this completely unified in terms of etiquette?
"Soon, just wait for a while, don't worry." Silvedu said, took Bernice's hand and gently pressed her back on the sofa, and then smoothly replaced the crooked diamond hair crown for her. Get organized, "You look more beautiful than any fairytale bride, trust me, if the look on your face could be any happier."
It was too difficult, but Bernice pulled the corner of her mouth obediently, trying not to make it look contorted like a facial spasm.
She slumped on the back of the sofa, reached out and touched the tiny diamonds embedded in the skirt, and began to think about whether Silvedu would find out if she secretly got a few and ate them.
Before she could figure out whether to do this or not, a burst of food aroma and Chao Ling's respectful greeting came from the door.
Bernice jumped up from the sofa in an instant, smelled the smell in the air instinctively, her eyes lit up: "It's the smell of oysters, blue crabs, and salmon..."
She turned her head and met Thiago's eyes just in time. The moment the other's eyes fell on her, she seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and there was a slight bright flash in her eyes.
Like the halo of sunlight falling on the wings of a butterfly, it was so illusory that it disappeared before it could be captured.When Bernice blinked again, the boy in front of her had returned to her usual calm and gentle look, only looking at her intently: "You are beautiful."
"It's more beautiful than any existence I've ever seen." He added, his tone calm but extremely serious.
For a brief moment, Bernice thought she saw Greer.
Because of that attitude, she'd only seen it in Greer.That's the tone he used whenever he talked about his past with Dakota.
It's very slight, like it can no longer withstand any bumps and storms, but it's extremely sincere and tenacious.
She was a little frightened by her own associations, and she couldn't even express the words of thanks that came to her lips, so she could only squeeze out an unnatural smile as best she could.
"I told you I won't disappoint you." Silvadu said, lifting the hem of her skirt and bowing to Thiago, "Do you want to walk with Bernice now? I have prepared a bouquet in advance. "
Following the direction she pointed, Bernice realized that the bouquet of bright red roses tied with snow-white ribbons was not just a decoration placed there.
Seeing Chao Ling holding up the bouquet of roses and walking towards her, Bernice felt that her eyes were dead.Maybe she will become the first demon in history to be starved to death, she thought numbly, and was about to raise her hand to pick up the bouquet of flowers.
"Let's talk about it later." Tiago shook his head slightly, and handed the dinner pot that he had prepared early in the morning to Bernice, "I guess you may not have time to hunt, so I brought you some when you came here, first Just eat."
Although rationality tells Bernice to be patient at this time, she must first put on a beautiful image of humility and humility to thank the other party, and then politely and decently express that she is not hungry.
But the truth is, when she saw the other party handing over the dinner pot, she couldn't look away at all.Even the image of Tiago in her eyes was given a layer of holy and brilliant brilliance like a savior.
Based on the survival principle of using as little compliments as possible to deal with the other party, otherwise it is easy to backfire, after thinking about it for less than half a second, Bernice quickly classified all the redundant speeches into an extremely sincere sentence: "Thank you Mian Down."
Silvedu, who was on the side, reached out and patted his forehead, and sighed, "I forgot to prepare the food. I'm sorry, Bernice, you must be starving."
"It's okay... cough cough cough..." Eating too fast and speaking in a hurry, Bernice choked on the shrimp meat in her mouth, and even drank a few mouthfuls of water that Tiago handed over in time. stop.
After she calmed down, she hadn't found where to put the water glass back on the table where there was still room, but Thiago took it back on her own initiative: "Slow down, don't be so anxious."
But it's embarrassing to be surrounded by so many people watching and eating. Of course, we have to make a quick decision.Bernice responded vaguely, and continued to pick up the food in the bowl.
There is no need to be picky at all, it is full of her favorite types, and even everything has been processed, no need for her to peel or do anything else.
After belatedly realizing this, Bernice looked at the fresh food in the dinner pot, and suddenly felt an indescribably subtle and weird feeling.
In my impression, except for her mother who took such meticulous care of her when she was just born, no other creature has cared for her like this.
But now...
She stopped eating uncomfortably, and her light green eyes sneaked to the end of her eyes to look at the blond-haired mermaid sitting beside her, only to realize that although the other party was still wearing a white suit similar to the usual one today, she wore a shirt A very formal light blue-gray vest, a dark and solemn blue shirt, and a white tie at the neckline.
He really looks like a well-dressed groom, but looking at himself...
The lipstick has been almost eaten away, and the feet covered by the wide gauze skirt are not even wearing shoes, and they are very nervously shaking non-stop, like an immobile ADHD look.
Continuing to pick at the food in her hand, Bernice sincerely felt that if a lady wearing such an exquisite and gorgeous wedding dress sat next to Tiago, I believe the whole picture would be much more harmonious immediately.It doesn't have to be like now, she is eating, and everyone else in the room is watching.
Especially after having eaten something, the initial hunger has been relieved to some extent.The thrilling feeling of being watched with too much concern began to become more and more active in Bernice's senses.
She quickly looked around and saw that Chao Ling was still holding the bouquet of roses, standing beside Tiago dutifully with Gabriel, facing the direction of Bernice, motionless.Silvedu was exchanging many ideas about the layout of the wedding venue with Thiago, and would ask Bernice from time to time if she had any suggestions to add.
And the few sea people who came with them at the beginning maintained that indescribable dementia state from beginning to end.Maybe it was the non-stop help changing clothes just now, and the constant search for new and more suitable jewelry accessories that made them completely doubt Haisheng.
Because according to Chao Ling, almost all the treasures here are designed and made by the most outstanding craftsmen in the Abyssal Sea God Territory.However, due to the short preparation time and the lack of knowledge of the specific clothes to be matched in advance, it is inevitable that there will be places that do not match the final wedding dress.
"If you can't choose what you like, you can tell them whatever you think needs to be modified or what you want, and it will be done soon." Recalling Chao Ling's tone of respect and sincerity when she said this, But Bernice wasn't sure she understood what she meant.
But thinking about it this way, it seems that I can fully understand the collapse that these craftsmen who were supposed to only serve the royal family mermaids are experiencing.
After all, who would want their hard work to be worn by a demon?
Moreover, it is a demon who has enmity with the mermaid clan.
Just as he was thinking, Silvedu's topic about the wedding venue seemed to be coming to an end, and he began to take the initiative to mention what Bernice cared about: "Then, according to your previous plan, we are going to tell you the news of the wedding tonight. Greer?"
"Yes. So when the time comes, I have to trouble you to keep an eye on him." Thiago said while turning his head to Gabriel, "It has reached this point, and there can be no more victims."
"clear."
Glancing outside at the setting sun, Bernice put down the silver fork in her hand: "Should we go now? They are busy with rehearsals during this period, and Greer still has to choose actresses to audition. Maybe it's still in the theater at this time."
Thiago smiled: "Don't rush for a while, you can finish eating first and then talk."
"Okay... okay."
So the scene changed again to her eating silently by herself, while other people looked at her with different expressions around her.
Perhaps seeing her uneasiness, after a short silence, Thiago took the initiative to ask her some irrelevant topics: "After the end, do you want to go to the wedding venue to have a look?"
"No need, I can see it tomorrow anyway. And I don't know anything about human wedding customs, so I can't say anything useful."
After finishing speaking, Bernice suddenly realized that she had strangled the topic, so she quickly made amends: "Indeed, thank you for bringing me food."
"You already said thank you just now," he reminded.
"Oh... because it's really delicious..." She paused for a few seconds, and was a little creeped by Silvedu's inexplicable chuckle, so she handed over the freshly forked oyster In the past, "Why don't you try it too?"
But this is the fork I just ate.
Bernice wanted to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, but before she had time, the other party had already lowered her head and leaned over, biting the snow-white oyster into her mouth with her hand.
It didn't seem to play a role in adjusting the atmosphere at all, but it became more embarrassing.
Bernice looked at the silver fork in her hand, and suddenly felt that it was okay to continue eating, and it was okay not to eat.
Most importantly, she couldn't remember whether the oyster she just handed to the other party was the one she had licked before speaking, and then patronized the one she was talking so she didn't have time to eat.
But after thinking about it, since Thiago can accept it so naturally, then it shouldn't be.
With this self-comforting thought in mind, Bernice quickly finished the rest of the food.
The next step is to get acquainted with the process of human weddings, and then take the invitation letter prepared in advance to the theater and send it to the real protagonist of the whole wedding.
The whole process was much faster than Bernice expected, but it was also a bit of a surprise, because they failed to meet Lambert formally in the theater, only met a young man who was said to be his assistant.
"I'm sorry that Mr. Greer can't come out to meet the two of you right now. He is discussing rehearsals with several other leading actors, so let me convey it for you if you have anything to say."
Unexpectedly, it would be such a result. After listening to what the other party said, Bernice subconsciously looked at Tiago, not sure whether to hand the invitation letter to the assistant.
In contrast, Thiago agreed without hesitation, just nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will trouble you."
"You're welcome. I'm really sorry."
After accepting the invitation letter, the assistant quickly left the door.Bernice looked at his disappearing back, worried: "Is it really all right?"
"Don't worry, he will come." Thiago said, looking towards the second floor of the brightly lit theater, with a firm and relaxed attitude, "It will."
After hearing what the other party said, Bernice unconsciously relaxed, and didn't worry too much about other things, and left the theater quickly with him.
So far, all the preparations have been completed, and they just wait for Greer and the lamp to appear at the wedding tomorrow, and then they are trying to find a way to capture and destroy the lamp.
It's just that, after all, it is a divine creation created by the God of Light, and we don't know what kind of emergencies will arise at that time.
Bernice thought about it silently, her gaze stretched from the light of the city in front of her to the profile of the young man beside her, feeling a little more at ease inexplicably.Since Thiago can propose this method, it should be that he is very sure about the action of destroying the magic lamp.
After all, the creations of gods only come from gods, and although Thiago currently exists in a split state, he is still a god himself, so he doesn't have to worry about tomorrow's results no matter what he thinks about it.
On the contrary, after looking at it this way, Bernice felt that the treacherous question she had pondered hundreds of years ago about "who would win if two supreme gods fought", seemed to be about to be answered.
Sure enough, if you live for a long time, you can see everything.
After returning to the observation center, Bernice checked the crystal ball's monitoring of the hollow areas at various latitudes as usual.After confirming that there were no abnormal signals, she sat back on the chair and prepared to tidy up the messy books on the table, most of which were borrowed from Thiago.
Halfway through the arrangement, the rose sealed in the seawater came into her eyes again.The bright red is so intense that it still looks bright even when the light source is dim.
Bernice picked it up, recalling Gabriel's unconscious expression of astonishment when he saw the rose that day, and couldn't help but wonder again, this is really just the original world of every newcomer Is it an ordinary gift that all the sea people have?
If not, who put it in that reef hut?
Silently recalling her karma in the new world, Bernice felt that if this conjecture was true, then it would be very obvious who gave it to her.only……
She sighed, put the rose back, rubbed her bangs and told herself not to think too much, the most important thing is to focus on tomorrow's actions.At this time, there is no need to think about those things that are both extra and of little practical significance. It is better to go to the Jungle Bar for a drink.
After making up her mind, Bernice quickly came to the Jungle Bar, asked Rebecca to find a quiet place by the window, and then ordered a yellow peach yogurt ice cream.
Listening to the soothing and gentle guitar tune in the bar, Bernice was eating the ice cream in the bowl spoon by spoonful, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
She turned her head and saw Silvedu smiling and waving at herself, walking briskly over: "Can I sit across from you?"
"Ah, of course." Bernice nodded, got up and saluted her.
From the perspective of the difference in status between them, this is a necessary and basic etiquette.But what puzzled Bernice was that Silvedu would respond to her the same way every time, as if treating her as a completely equal companion.
To be honest, this attitude made her feel weird.She would rather Silvedu treat her coldly like the angel named Camilla she met before, at least in her opinion, this is the normal attitude towards a parolee.
"It seems that you and Your Majesty have sent out the invitation letter." Silvedu sat down opposite her, smiling warmly.Dim lights fell on her neatly coiled sandy golden curls, occasionally interspersed with many small star-like tiaras, making her look more like a character who just stepped out of an oil painting.
"Yes." Bernice replied, "Although I haven't seen Greer himself, Your Majesty said he will definitely come."
"Then there's no problem." Silverdu laughed, and said to the Cheshire Cat who was just floating and approached to salute, "Have a glass of special sun and rain."
"As ordered, it will be delivered soon."
After speaking, the Cheshire Cat disappeared into a cloud of blue-gray smoke.
Turning his head, Silvedu clasped his hands together and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't know much about this collector. I only know that he is currently the target of the magic lamp transaction. Can you tell me what happened? something?"
Bernice repeated everything she knew as briefly as possible. After listening, Silvedu was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "No wonder the magic lamp will find him."
"Because he fits the requirements of the magic lamp, he is the kind of person with extreme delusions, right?"
"That's just one aspect, Bernice. More importantly, his feelings for Dakota are the most useful."
Then, in Bernice's slightly confused eyes, Silvedu further explained: "The feelings that can never be regained, but are extremely profound, can make a seemingly fragile human being do many incredible and even crazy things. .The magic lamp must have seen the potential in him."
"It was originally supposed to be brilliant and bright by burning the pure faith of the believers. That kind of light can dispel all darkness." She said softly, as if recalling some long-ago story, "It's a pity that human beings are required to have such feelings. It is impossible for abundant living beings to be absolutely pure."
"It seems so," Bernice agreed appropriately.
"I don't know what the God of Light will think if he knows what the magic lamp looks like now." Silvadu said, taking the special sun rain sent by the Cheshire cat, and stirring it casually with a transparent straw The slightly shiny transparent drink inside, "However, I think His Majesty the God of Light should have known this would be the result."
"Then why did you hand over the magic lamp to humans?" Bernice asked puzzled.
"It's very difficult to guess the thoughts of the gods, Bernice. Besides, not everything that happens must have an accurate and clear reason. Even if you know that this will cause such a result, the God of Light still regards God The lamp was given to humans. Maybe it was for testing, maybe it was for observation, maybe..." Silvedu paused, shrugged, and showed a mischievous smile, "Maybe it's just for fun."
Bernice was a little taken aback by this answer.
She suddenly remembered what Thiago once said, that he collected the highly toxic substances in the ocean not for serious and laborious research, but just to test whether it would affect him.
In other words, for fun.
She lowered her head and took a bite of the half-melted ice cream in the spoon. She felt sincerely that none of the creatures who could become gods were normal creatures, and she couldn't understand them with normal logic.
Swallowing the milk product mixed with pulp and oats in her mouth, Bernice echoed again: "Maybe."
"Of course, thanks to your help, all this will end tomorrow." As he spoke, Silvedu picked up the glass and touched the ice cream bowl in front of Bernice. "Celebrate in advance."
"Actually, I didn't help too much. From the very beginning, the analysis of the collector's motives and many connections with the magic lamp, including this... solution, was all thought up by the Sea God," Bernice explained. , "It should be said, thanks to him."
"That's right. This may be the biggest difference between His Majesty the Sea God and His Majesty the God of Light." Silvidu took a sip of the sun rain in the cup, and propped his face with his hands thoughtfully.This gesture made her look distinctly childish.
"Different?" Bernice repeated curiously, cautiously.
Silvedu didn't have as many concerns as hers, and only explained generously: "What the all-seeing eye sees is the truth, so the change and development of all things in the world under the crown of the God of Light is more of an observation. attitude, what can be seen and directly changed is the final result of things at the macro level. But Poseidon is different, he is a god with a "heart", he can directly interfere with each individual body, Change the development trajectory of things at different progress points to achieve the desired effect.”
... Isn't this the one who cuts the ending without any game experience, and the one who has game experience so he can play with the npcs around him unscrupulously?
Bernice stared at each other in a daze, and suddenly wanted to join the religion immediately and beg these two supreme gods to be locked together immediately, and never come out to harm other living beings.
It's hard for her logical nerves. At this time, she can still work diligently and ask questions full of curiosity: "What, what is a god with a 'heart'?"
"After the Heart of the Ocean has fully awakened, His Majesty the Seagod still seems to retain some of the feelings brought to him by his past experiences." Silvedu took a sip of the drink in his hand, his movements were as unhurried as her tone, "This is incredible. Because for the gods, apart from existence itself, everything else is superfluous and should not be kept."
"The...feelings you experienced in the past?" Bernice seemed to be scalded by the last word, and even said it with a clear trembling, "That is, what is it?"
How broad is the term feeling?
Pretty much everything is included.
It is an extremely complicated word that cannot be easily defined as good or bad, and can even be called a split word.
Whether human beings, elves or demons, all creatures have emotions.Every minute and every second of their emotions, hope and despair, love and hatred touch, can be called feelings.
Who knows which one Thiago kept?
"I'm not too sure about that." Silvedu shook his head, picked up a cherry from the fruit plate and put it into his mouth, "But since it's a feeling that can still be retained in the state of being a godhead, I think it should be It's what he cherishes the most."
"Maybe." Bernice repeated unconsciously, and saw many lights floating on the sea outside the window.
The author has something to say: Bernice [Take out his mother's spaghetti and lock it up to these two supreme gods, don't come out to harm other people! ]
Silvedu [Here I think you may have a better effect on your own. ]
Bernice [...but... I don't like... 3, 3p]
Thiago [That means it's ok to be alone with me, right? ]
Bernice [? ? ? ]
After all, she just likes all kinds of shiny and precious things.
It's just that until today, she didn't realize that Jingjingjing was such a heavy and exhausting thing.
After a whole day of trying on wedding dresses and matching jewelry,? Finally, Silvedu and Chao Ling nodded at the same time to express their satisfaction.

She turned her head and met Thiago's eyes just in time. The moment the other's eyes fell on her, she seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and there was a slight bright flash in her eyes.

After finishing speaking, Bernice suddenly realized that she had strangled the topic, so she quickly made amends: "Indeed, thank you for bringing me food."
"You already said thank you just now," he reminded.
"Oh... because it's really delicious..." She paused for a few seconds, and was a little creeped by Silvedu's inexplicable chuckle, so she handed over the freshly forked oyster In the past, "Why don't you try it too?"
But this is the fork I just ate.
Bernice wanted to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, but before she had time, the other party had already lowered her head and leaned over, biting the snow-white oyster into her mouth with her hand.
It didn't seem to play a role in adjusting the atmosphere at all, but it became more embarrassing.
Bernice looked at the silver fork in her hand, and suddenly felt that it was okay to continue eating, and it was okay not to eat.
Most importantly, she couldn't remember whether the oyster she just handed to the other party was the one she had licked before speaking, and then patronized the one she was talking so she didn't have time to eat.
But after thinking about it, since Thiago can accept it so naturally, then it shouldn't be.
With this self-comforting thought in mind, Bernice quickly finished the rest of the food.
The next step is to get acquainted with the process of human weddings, and then take the invitation letter prepared in advance to the theater and send it to the real protagonist of the whole wedding.
The whole process was much faster than Bernice expected, but it was also a bit of a surprise, because they failed to meet Lambert formally in the theater, only met a young man who was said to be his assistant.
"I'm sorry that Mr. Greer can't come out to meet the two of you right now. He is discussing rehearsals with several other leading actors, so let me convey it for you if you have anything to say."
Unexpectedly, it would be such a result. After listening to what the other party said, Bernice subconsciously looked at Tiago, not sure whether to hand the invitation letter to the assistant.
In contrast, Thiago agreed without hesitation, just nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will trouble you."
"You're welcome. I'm really sorry."
After accepting the invitation letter, the assistant quickly left the door.Bernice looked at his disappearing back, worried: "Is it really all right?"
"Don't worry, he will come." Thiago said, looking towards the second floor of the brightly lit theater, with a firm and relaxed attitude, "It will."
After hearing what the other party said, Bernice unconsciously relaxed, and didn't worry too much about other things, and left the theater quickly with him.
So far, all the preparations have been completed, and they just wait for Greer and the lamp to appear at the wedding tomorrow, and then they are trying to find a way to capture and destroy the lamp.
It's just that, after all, it is a divine creation created by the God of Light, and we don't know what kind of emergencies will arise at that time.
Bernice thought about it silently, her gaze stretched from the light of the city in front of her to the profile of the young man beside her, feeling a little more at ease inexplicably.Since Thiago can propose this method, it should be that he is very sure about the action of destroying the magic lamp.
After all, the creations of gods only come from gods, and although Thiago currently exists in a split state, he is still a god himself, so he doesn't have to worry about tomorrow's results no matter what he thinks about it.
On the contrary, after looking at it this way, Bernice felt that the treacherous question she had pondered hundreds of years ago about "who would win if two supreme gods fought", seemed to be about to be answered.
Sure enough, if you live for a long time, you can see everything.
After returning to the observation center, Bernice checked the crystal ball's monitoring of the hollow areas at various latitudes as usual.After confirming that there were no abnormal signals, she sat back on the chair and prepared to tidy up the messy books on the table, most of which were borrowed from Thiago.
Halfway through the arrangement, the rose sealed in the seawater came into her eyes again.The bright red is so intense that it still looks bright even when the light source is dim.
Bernice picked it up, recalling Gabriel's unconscious expression of astonishment when he saw the rose that day, and couldn't help but wonder again, this is really just the original world of every newcomer Is it an ordinary gift that all the sea people have?
If not, who put it in that reef hut?
Silently recalling her karma in the new world, Bernice felt that if this conjecture was true, then it would be very obvious who gave it to her.only……
She sighed, put the rose back, rubbed her bangs and told herself not to think too much, the most important thing is to focus on tomorrow's actions.At this time, there is no need to think about those things that are both extra and of little practical significance. It is better to go to the Jungle Bar for a drink.
After making up her mind, Bernice quickly came to the Jungle Bar, asked Rebecca to find a quiet place by the window, and then ordered a yellow peach yogurt ice cream.
Listening to the soothing and gentle guitar tune in the bar, Bernice was eating the ice cream in the bowl spoon by spoonful, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
She turned her head and saw Silvedu smiling and waving at herself, walking briskly over: "Can I sit across from you?"
"Ah, of course." Bernice nodded, got up and saluted her.
From the perspective of the difference in status between them, this is a necessary and basic etiquette.But what puzzled Bernice was that Silvedu would respond to her the same way every time, as if treating her as a completely equal companion.
To be honest, this attitude made her feel weird.She would rather Silvedu treat her coldly like the angel named Camilla she met before, at least in her opinion, this is the normal attitude towards a parolee.
"It seems that you and Your Majesty have sent out the invitation letter." Silvedu sat down opposite her, smiling warmly.Dim lights fell on her neatly coiled sandy golden curls, occasionally interspersed with many small star-like tiaras, making her look more like a character who just stepped out of an oil painting.
"Yes." Bernice replied, "Although I haven't seen Greer himself, Your Majesty said he will definitely come."
"Then there's no problem." Silverdu laughed, and said to the Cheshire Cat who was just floating and approached to salute, "Have a glass of special sun and rain."
"As ordered, it will be delivered soon."
After speaking, the Cheshire Cat disappeared into a cloud of blue-gray smoke.
Turning his head, Silvedu clasped his hands together and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't know much about this collector. I only know that he is currently the target of the magic lamp transaction. Can you tell me what happened? something?"
Bernice repeated everything she knew as briefly as possible. After listening, Silvedu was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "No wonder the magic lamp will find him."
"Because he fits the requirements of the magic lamp, he is the kind of person with extreme delusions, right?"
"That's just one aspect, Bernice. More importantly, his feelings for Dakota are the most useful."
Then, in Bernice's slightly confused eyes, Silvedu further explained: "The feelings that can never be regained, but are extremely profound, can make a seemingly fragile human being do many incredible and even crazy things. .The magic lamp must have seen the potential in him."
"It was originally supposed to be brilliant and bright by burning the pure faith of the believers. That kind of light can dispel all darkness." She said softly, as if recalling some long-ago story, "It's a pity that human beings are required to have such feelings. It is impossible for abundant living beings to be absolutely pure."
"It seems so," Bernice agreed appropriately.
"I don't know what the God of Light will think if he knows what the magic lamp looks like now." Silvadu said, taking the special sun rain sent by the Cheshire cat, and stirring it casually with a transparent straw The slightly shiny transparent drink inside, "However, I think His Majesty the God of Light should have known this would be the result."
"Then why did you hand over the magic lamp to humans?" Bernice asked puzzled.
"It's very difficult to guess the thoughts of the gods, Bernice. Besides, not everything that happens must have an accurate and clear reason. Even if you know that this will cause such a result, the God of Light still regards God The lamp was given to humans. Maybe it was for testing, maybe it was for observation, maybe..." Silvedu paused, shrugged, and showed a mischievous smile, "Maybe it's just for fun."
Bernice was a little taken aback by this answer.
She suddenly remembered what Thiago once said, that he collected the highly toxic substances in the ocean not for serious and laborious research, but just to test whether it would affect him.
In other words, for fun.
She lowered her head and took a bite of the half-melted ice cream in the spoon. She felt sincerely that none of the creatures who could become gods were normal creatures, and she couldn't understand them with normal logic.
Swallowing the milk product mixed with pulp and oats in her mouth, Bernice echoed again: "Maybe."
"Of course, thanks to your help, all this will end tomorrow." As he spoke, Silvedu picked up the glass and touched the ice cream bowl in front of Bernice. "Celebrate in advance."
"Actually, I didn't help too much. From the very beginning, the analysis of the collector's motives and many connections with the magic lamp, including this... solution, was all thought up by the Sea God," Bernice explained. , "It should be said, thanks to him."
"That's right. This may be the biggest difference between His Majesty the Sea God and His Majesty the God of Light." Silvidu took a sip of the sun rain in the cup, and propped his face with his hands thoughtfully.This gesture made her look distinctly childish.
"Different?" Bernice repeated curiously, cautiously.
Silvedu didn't have as many concerns as hers, and only explained generously: "What the all-seeing eye sees is the truth, so the change and development of all things in the world under the crown of the God of Light is more of an observation. attitude, what can be seen and directly changed is the final result of things at the macro level. But Poseidon is different, he is a god with a "heart", he can directly interfere with each individual body, Change the development trajectory of things at different progress points to achieve the desired effect.”
... Isn't this the one who cuts the ending without any game experience, and the one who has game experience so he can play with the npcs around him unscrupulously?
Bernice stared at each other in a daze, and suddenly wanted to join the religion immediately and beg these two supreme gods to be locked together immediately, and never come out to harm other living beings.
It's hard for her logical nerves. At this time, she can still work diligently and ask questions full of curiosity: "What, what is a god with a 'heart'?"
"After the Heart of the Ocean has fully awakened, His Majesty the Seagod still seems to retain some of the feelings brought to him by his past experiences." Silvedu took a sip of the drink in his hand, his movements were as unhurried as her tone, "This is incredible. Because for the gods, apart from existence itself, everything else is superfluous and should not be kept."
"The...feelings you experienced in the past?" Bernice seemed to be scalded by the last word, and even said it with a clear trembling, "That is, what is it?"
How broad is the term feeling?
Pretty much everything is included.
It is an extremely complicated word that cannot be easily defined as good or bad, and can even be called a split word.
Whether human beings, elves or demons, all creatures have emotions.Every minute and every second of their emotions, hope and despair, love and hatred touch, can be called feelings.
Who knows which one Thiago kept?
"I'm not too sure about that." Silvedu shook his head, picked up a cherry from the fruit plate and put it into his mouth, "But since it's a feeling that can still be retained in the state of being a godhead, I think it should be It's what he cherishes the most."
"Maybe." Bernice repeated unconsciously, and saw many lights floating on the sea outside the window.
The author has something to say: Bernice [Take out his mother's spaghetti and lock it up to these two supreme gods, don't come out to harm other people! ]
Silvedu [Here I think you may have a better effect on your own. ]
Bernice [...but... I don't like... 3, 3p]
Thiago [That means it's ok to be alone with me, right? ]
Bernice [? ? ? ]
