How to become a sea witch
Chapter 60, Part fifty six
When he heard the news that the protective cover of the marine ecosystem had been broken, Gabriel had a vague premonition in his heart.
And when he came to the seaside and saw the chaotic scene in front of him, that bad premonition deepened again.
After losing the protective cover, a large amount of unpurified seawater poured into the ecological circle, and countless pollutants and invisible toxins also followed.The clear feeling of discomfort gradually increased,? In the end,? There was even a tendency to be unable to breathe.
The sea tribes who were forced to survive surfaced one after another trying to breathe a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long. The scorching sun above their heads evaporated all the moisture on their skins.Cracked white marks covered their bodies that would become extremely fragile once out of the water, and the unbearable burning sensation tormented them.
In a panic, I don't know who yelled first, "It's the protective cover that was broken."Immediately followed were countless shrill cries for help and prayers. Many sea people with weak magic power had even appeared in a state of shock. Their pupils were dilated, and the corners of their mouths were covered with large groups of white foam that they spit out instinctively. From time to time, their bodies Twitching, unable to utter the tiniest syllable.
When the guards arrived, the beach was already crowded with countless sea creatures struggling.They are exposed to the summer heat without any cover, and the surrounding waters are gradually polluted, and they can only be trapped in shallow water.
Gabriel was quick to order: "Turn out the sun for a while and treat the ones in serious condition first."
"clear."
Since they couldn't dive into the bottom of the sea to repair the damaged protective cover, they could only learn about the current situation under the sea surface by asking those sea people who still kept their sanity.
On the choppy dark blue sea, countless pale waves wash up tirelessly,? Turning into a pile of dead snow,? Disappearing in the gaps of countless reefs in an instant,? Repeatedly.
Gabriel turned his head to look at the Sea Clan beside him, frowned and asked: "This ecosystem was created by Mian Yi at the beginning, and it has never happened in decades,? It can't be that I suddenly It's cracked. Does any of you know what's going on?"
After a period of vague discussion, one of the sea tribe replied in an uncertain tone: "I was hunting nearby, and I seemed to see...someone's shadow or something."
"Can you recognize who it is?" he asked.
The other party flinched and shook his head: "It's too far away, I can't be sure. But before the protective cover broke, many of our companions saw a green flame light up from there, and then...then that's what you saw That's it."
"Green flame?" Gabriel repeated, quickly recalling the incident involving Bernice in the cell a few days ago.
Before he could continue asking, Troy, who was using a healing technique to heal a white butterfly shell elf who had lost consciousness, suddenly let out an eh, and tried to poke the strange thing stuck in the opponent's shell with his finger, and said in surprise. Ask: "What is this?"
Gabriel glanced down, and was immediately attracted by the weird and special dark blue lines, so he quickly pulled out the sharp and slender weapon for careful identification.
Soon, he realized the origin of this thing, and immediately his face changed slightly, and the frown between his brows became deeper.
He turned his head, and was about to explain something to the angels who were standing by, but the older sea tribe screamed immediately after seeing the things in his hand, their faces were full of fear and anger, and they even raised their hands. Her movements trembled clearly: "This is the sea witch's snail!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the surrounding Sea Clans immediately started making noises, screaming and cursing, asking the guards to immediately detain Bernice: "She must have done it! She wanted to kill us all! No one else could do such a thing except this devil!"
"That's right! She must have broken the protective cover! Now that the evidence is here, she must be put in jail! Don't let her out!"
"Didn't you say that before the protective cover broke, I saw a strange figure appearing nearby? Except for her, none of us has the power to break the protective cover. It must be her!"
Troy was a little frightened by the sudden outburst of intense hatred, and it was useless to appease the angels around him.Their hatred for sea witches, such demons, is shockingly intense and extremely unified.Even the most gentle sea people will show uncontrollable anger when this demon is mentioned.
Troy tried his best to get away from the terrible noise and curses, retreated to Gabriel's side, and opened his eyes wide to look at the group of sea people who were so angry that they wanted to drag Bernice out immediately to execute him, and then looked at Gabriel was holding a sharp weapon called a thorn, and was a little embarrassed for a while: "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Your Majesty should be back soon, go and invite Bernice over here." Gabriel thought for a while before adding, "But since she's not in the sea, you can go to the Jungle Bar to find her first. Look, it might be there."
"clear."
Looking at the back of Troy leaving, Camilla said with a very bad expression: "Knowing that the protective cover is broken, she herself is most likely to be suspected, but she still left her weapon on the scene so casually. Are you really so confident that you won't be punished even if you are discovered?"
"So, I don't think this matter really has anything to do with her. Such a loophole-filled and stupid approach, the biggest effect is to incite the hatred of other sea tribes towards her." Gabriel glanced at her lightly, his tone cold And with a reminder, "Before speaking later, it is best to consider the situation clearly and be careful."
The situation he mentioned was not an analysis of the whole incident, but the surrounding situation.
For example, you can never say that in front of Thiago.
Camilla was stunned, and naturally thought of the reason why even the angels at the security guards were discussing why Bernice was clearly a felon who had committed the crime of killing gods, but the sea god cared for her very much. .
She tried to justify: "But sir, she is a demon after all. And she is the only sea demon capable of breaking the protective shield that we know so far. In addition, in the previous detention room, Grendel..."
"Your Majesty said that you should deal with that matter in a low-key manner and don't need to publicize it. Don't mention it casually in the future." Gabriel interrupted her expressionlessly, and his tone was as cold as a river under the ice in winter , There was a cold and hard brilliance in the golden eyes.
With such an attitude, Camilla knew very well that she had better not say anything more.But the confusion and disgust entrenched in her heart did not subside. She couldn't understand why they would start to defend a notorious demon now, let alone what Thiago's attitude towards this sea witch meant.
Not long after, Troy brought Bernice over.She seemed to have no idea what was going on here. Although her brows were frowning, the doubt and bewilderment in those light green eyes were crystal clear.
Seeing that the recognized culprit had appeared, all the victims of this disaster jumped up and pointed at her, cursed and yelled at her to pay the price, and even loudly demanded that Bernice should be executed directly to vent their anger of.
If words could hurt, Troy had no doubts that they could kill Bernice a million times.Even though those extremely mean and vicious words were not aimed at him, they still made him feel very uncomfortable when they fell on his ears.
Seeing that Bernice seemed to be completely unprepared, she was completely speechless when she was scolded by a large group of sea tribes when she first arrived at the scene, Gabriel pursed his lips, and was about to speak to stop him, but caught a glimpse of Bernice Si blinked quickly, completely wiped the overly soft look of bewilderment from her eyes, then skillfully put on a standard villain face, and sneered back: "Since everyone is so united, who is willing to stand up now?" Kill me? By the way, no matter who it is, I will fight back."
She probably didn't expect that she would fast-forward to this topic so directly. The Hai Clan, who were still furious just now, suddenly quieted down, and the consternation and anger that hadn't faded were all embarrassingly stuck on their faces.
After a while, the one who came back to his senses the fastest was an old sea lion, Cook.He stared at Bernice, so angry that even his beard was trembling, his hoarse voice was a little sharp because of the emotional fluctuations: "You, the chief culprit who almost killed all our companions, dare to be so arrogant..."
"Did you call it arrogant by stating clearly that I would fight back?" Bernice looked at the other party expressionlessly, "Then if I really fight back in a while, wouldn't you all be unable to find more serious words to describe me? ?”
Cook was trembling with anger at her words, he couldn't breathe for two consecutive breaths and seemed to be about to faint, his face flushed and screamed at Gabriel: "Archangel! You all heard, this demon not only broke Take off the protective cover, and take revenge on us in front of your face!"
His words made many other sea people start to join in, shouting loudly that the security must immediately arrest and convict this dangerous person.
Bernice snorted, rolled her eyes and retorted: "I mean I want to fight back, but so what? I haven't done anything until now. If this kind of talk can also be called 'hands-on' If you want to take revenge, then you just said in front of the Archangel and others that I must die to appease your anger, so can I also think that you have already done something to me, so I can also directly take revenge?"
After hearing what she said, some timid sea people immediately reported to the group to stay away, for fear that she would suddenly go crazy or start a killing spree, and the round and wet eyes were full of uncontrollable panic.
Seeing this, Camilla couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in a cold voice: "0331, the ecological circle on the bottom of the sea has been maliciously broken, and they are all innocent victims, so it's understandable. It just so happens that we also found Don’t you think this attitude is too much for the direct evidence related to you?”
The news that the ecological circle was broken really surprised Bernice, but she paid more attention to the second half of the sentence: "What is the direct evidence?"
"You should be familiar with this kind of thing, right?" Camilla said, pointing to the snail in Gabriel's hand, "This is a weapon belonging to a sea witch, and it was found on a victim, right in the protective cover. After being broken."
Bernice looked in the direction she was pointing in doubt, and when her eyes touched the snail, she trembled very obviously, and even her face turned a little pale, as if it was unbelievable to see it here .
The snail that she had already discarded in some dark corner under the deep sea, was always pinched and twisted by Ursula.
Compared with the feeling of holding it, Bernice is more familiar with the sharp pain of being pierced by it and pressing against the fragile throat, which is like crushing the bone.
That was the symbol of the sea witch, and one of her deepest fears.
After her thoughts went blank for a second, Bernice quickly recalled the impostor in the detention room who had the same appearance as her and even the same fish scale necklace.
At that time, Thiago speculated that the scale she had left in Kamchatka was found by the other party, which was the only reasonable explanation.
And now, the snail thorn that she discarded when she got it decades ago also appeared in front of her in such a strange way, deliberately vicious.
"Do you have anything to explain?" The obviously frightened expression on Bernice's face gave Camilla enough confidence, making her questioning tone even more blunt.But it sounded like she didn't want to hear any explanation from Bernice, she already had a judgment in her mind.
After barely adjusting her emotions, Bernice glanced at the other party first, shrugged, and also replied not very kindly: "The explanation is that whoever threw it into the sea is very stupid. "
Considering that Camilla belongs to the angel camp, it would be very troublesome to offend them rashly.Bernice thought for a while, and finally swallowed the second half of the sentence, "As for those people who directly suspect me because of this clumsy trick, they are even more stupid."
But even so, her words were enough to make Camilla feel offended: "What's your attitude? Don't you dare to say that this is not your thing?"
"I dare. It wasn't mine in the first place." Bernice denied it without burden.
She really never considered the snails her own, so that wouldn't be a lie.
"you……"
Probably because she didn't expect the other party to open her eyes and talk nonsense so openly, Camilla didn't know what to say for a while, she just glared at her with a clear sense of disgust flatly expressed on her face.
Gabriel stood quietly aside, focusing on the expression on Bernice's face.He found that, compared with those soft kindness and love, Bernice is obviously more familiar with how to face and counter other people's malice towards her.
After an unreasonable thick-skinned operation, the scene finally basically quieted down.At the same time, the creatures present finally realized more or less that it was impossible to defeat this immoral sea witch by provoking a topic. She could drive people to death.
Seeing that no one was going to continue talking, Bernice took the initiative to say: "Though breaking the protective cover, although I can do it objectively, it is completely unnecessary, isn't it? Why should I choose so easy to let others Think of my method, and leave the most critical evidence to you, as if you are afraid that you will not know that I did it?"
What she said seemed to make sense, but some sea people still raised sharp questions: "Then how do you explain the fact that the snail appeared here?"
"Why should I explain?" Bernice asked innocently, "It's not my thing, of course I don't know how it came here."
"But this is the sea witch's property!" a hermit crab jumped up and shouted at her, "Whether you admit it or not, you should be responsible for this! You have hurt so many innocent creatures, you should pay the price! repent!"
Bernice glanced at him with downcast eyes, without changing her face: "Such noble words, it's better to discuss it with someone else. Or if you want to tell everyone first, how do you deal with being killed by you?" I would also be happy to hear the confession of those innocent conch shells that took the shell."
"I..." The hermit crab who was poked at the sore spot tried to explain angrily, "That's the nature of creatures, you have no right to accuse me!"
"So you think that biological nature should not be evaluated." Bernice nodded, and then showed a sincere expression of approval, "I think so too. It's just that I didn't expect that I would be so kind in your eyes."
"What... what?" The hermit crab was confused by her incoherent tone.
"Since you think that biological nature should not be evaluated, I can only think that in your eyes I am actually very kind. Otherwise, what position do you have to accuse a demon? Don't you know this best?" Bernice said.
This logic is too rogue.Troy thought about it silently, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little bit better.
The Hermit Crab blushed and shouted at Gabriel together with other sea tribes who had given up on confronting Bernice directly: "This demon is just making excuses! She admits it herself. Her nature is rotten, it is impossible for this matter to have nothing to do with her, the snail is the best evidence, she must be locked up! Otherwise, she will definitely carry out even more terrible revenge on us!"
Before Gabriel made a statement, Camilla, who had long been unable to bear Bernice's standard villain-like speech, also took the initiative to agree, her tone was very cold because of suppressing her anger: "Sir, according to the parole regulations, if 0331 Any recidivism or no sign of remorse during the parole period should be immediately taken back to the Sin Garden and dealt with according to the original sin."
"I said I didn't do it." Bernice's attitude was as strong as hers, even tit-for-tat. There was an astonishing coldness in her light green eyes, like a piece of emerald that hadn't been polished, with sharp edges and corners. Clear and sharp, "When I was imprisoned in the Fallen Sin Garden, did you search for the snails from my hand? I think after I was imprisoned, the mermaid tribe should also destroy the entire sea witch lair. Who knows? Ever found it?
Even if you think it was hidden by me, then I should hide it in the original world, right?Only through the latitude hole can one travel between the two worlds, and these entrances are all supervised by the security department. How can I bypass the surveillance of all of you, return to the original world to find this thing, and then deliberately throw it in the sea Waiting for you to find out? "
"You reminded me of that."
Camilla stared coldly at the other party: "Aren't you the one who supervises those latitude holes in the ocean range? I think you returned to the original world from one of them. Then put this screw thorn Find it out."
As if they had found a breakthrough all of a sudden, the sea clan immediately supported Camilla's guess, clamoring that the truth was like this: "Stop talking nonsense with her, and put this damned devil back in prison now!"
"That's right! Lock it back! Lock it back!"
"Kill her! Damn her! Damn her!"
"Wouldn't it be better to come out and kill me yourself if you think I'm damned?" Bernice looked at the surrounding sea people expressionlessly, not flinching from these aggressive malice at all, "I'm standing here, why do you It's just that they only talk about wanting me to die, and no one catches up?"
"You are too much 0331!" Camilla snapped, "It's not up to you here!"
"yes."
A familiar gentle voice suddenly sounded, and at almost the same instant, the surrounding angels and sea tribes all backed away in unison, kneeling down and saluting: "Your Majesty the Sea God."
Camilla turned her head in astonishment, and saw a white and tall figure standing there at the end of the queue lined up by many devout souls, the soft platinum hair tip was blown in front of his eyes by the wind, There was a signature faint smile on his face, and the gray light in the sky was reflected in his eyes, the blue was like frozen sea ice: "I also think it's not good for everyone to keep arguing like this, after all, things always have to be resolved." There is a conclusion. How about choosing someone who can have the final say here to make a decision, how about it?"
As he spoke, Thiago slowly walked over, stood in front of Camilla who immediately returned to his senses after a brief daze, and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, with a soft tone, and even asked with a hint of hope and encouragement: "You I have seen the performance just now, it is very good. So, let you have the final say, okay?"
Camilla raised her head, met the other person's face and looked down at her with a smile, inexplicably feeling a shivering sensation of scalp numbness.She didn't understand where this instinctive fear like a creature avoiding danger came from. The expression of the young god in front of her seemed so gentle and harmless, but...
She hesitated in bewilderment, and after a moment, finally realized that something was wrong.
It's those eyes.
The smile and expression on his face were kind and calm, and the words he said were not offensive in any way.
But in those eyes, there was no joy at all, nor any sullen or indifferent emotions that only ordinary creatures can have.
He looked at himself as if he was watching a speck of dust that suddenly broke into his sight and brought some kind of disharmony to the surroundings.
No need to worry or get angry, just raise your hand and wipe her away.
"You seem a little nervous." Thiago said with concern, but his eyes remained unchanged, completely covering Camilla's body, watching a crystal drop of sweat gradually slipping down from her graceful neck, "Is there anything that scares you?"
"No..." She lowered her head, her posture and tone were lower than before, "Thank you for your trust, it's just me... I think..."
Gabriel closed his eyes, took the initiative to take Camilla's words, and said, "It's just that we agree that this matter should be decided by you in order to convince everyone."
"This demon almost killed all of our companions, Qiu Mian ordered her to be imprisoned back to the Sin Garden! She should pay for her crimes!"
"Yes! She should be executed directly! Demons should go to hell!"
"I beg Your Majesty to put her back in prison!"
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Bernice felt more and more irritable, and couldn't help but look up to Tiago's direction, but found that he was not panicked, and only calmly looked at the angry sea people. Take a look at the past.
Then, as if he had noticed something, he stretched out his hand and lightly pressed his index finger to his lips, making a short silence gesture.
Then, Thiago walked around those sea people with obviously puzzled expressions, came to the corner, squatted down in front of a female dolphin who was holding a dying cub in her arms, and gently covered the little dolphin's forehead with his hand , gently reassuring the teary-eyed mother: "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
The sporadic silver-blue radiance spread, and the little dolphin, whose face was purple just now, regained its health from time to time. It looked at Thiago with a pair of dark eyes and laughed, its fat little tail was wagging happily, babbling. Babbling and coquettish.
"He's too young now, he can't change form, and he can't stay on land for a long time." Thiago gently touched the little guy's face with his fingers, "I'll fix the protective cover right away, you have to do it as soon as possible Take your baby back to the sea, will you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, I..."
"It's ok."
Thiago said, after carefully treating all the other sea people who were still in poor condition because they were too young or old even though they had received the angels' healing technique, he got up again, turned to the sea and called out the tide spirit .
The huge and transparent sea wave spirit immediately appeared in front of everyone, bringing countless cold and fresh water splashes like a heavy rain, and fell down obediently towards Tiago, waiting for his order.
"I have to repair the protective cover first, and you immediately go to see if there are any creatures trapped on the bottom of the sea, and if there are any, heal them immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The moment the tide spirit receded back to the ocean, the raging waves immediately surged, and the rapidly rising tide engulfed the nearby beaches and reefs.The angels spread their wings one after another and retreated to places other than the ocean.
Bernice stood knee-deep in the cool sea water, separated by a short distance from many marine creatures who were cheering and patting the water to celebrate. Seeing Thiago turn his head towards her, his eyes focused on On her body, the smile was real and warm: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
It didn't take too much time to repair the protective cover. After a while, when the waves gathered and rushed to the beach again, Thiago also walked out of the cascading emerald blue tide: "It's all right, Everyone who wants to go home and rest, go back first, it is indeed easy to feel uncomfortable staying on the shore for a long time."
"But Your Majesty..."
"I know." Thiago interrupted the other party's words in a gentle tone, and stretched out his hand to signal Gabriel to take the spike, "You want to find out who did this. To be honest, I am also very curious."
He took the snail handed by the archangel, carefully identified it for a while, and seemed to see something that made him feel very interesting. He held it and tapped it gently in his palm, saying: "This is indeed a Sea witch's snail, yes."
After hearing this sentence, all the angels and the sea clan exploded immediately.Bernice felt that the whole devil was stunned for a moment, and an unprecedented sense of panic filled her chest. Together with the inexplicable grievance and heavy sourness, she was almost unable to breathe, and even her throat was full of that kind of pain. Terrible pain.
However, immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling chill suddenly spread in the air, and the sound of the sea waves was replaced by the slight crackling sound of frozen frost.The sea breeze, which was still warm and humid just now, suddenly turned into a frosty knife, cutting the skin with pain.
Tiago raised his eyes to look at the high-spirited sea people and angels again, and the last mask-like hypocrisy and gentleness on his face disappeared, and asked in a low voice: "I have exhausted my patience talking to you, be quiet Is it really so difficult to live and listen to me?"
I don't understand why he is suddenly so angry, but even so, no creature dares to speak out and make a sound.The whole seaside is as dead as a pale wasteland, except for the sharp sound of the wind horn, there is no living sound.
"This snail is indeed real. But more than fifty years ago, I seized it from the former sea witch's lair, and kept it sealed in a place known only to me and Augsig. Therefore, it is impossible for Bernice to find it, and it has nothing to do with the breaking of the protective cover. This is all my judgment."
He said word by word, clearly and slowly: "Do you understand what I say?"
After a period of absolute silence where even breathing seemed noisy, Gabriel took the lead in responding: "Remember what you said when you returned to the crown."
After there was an angel at the beginning, the rest of the creatures followed and repeated the same words intermittently, and the expressions on their faces all revealed a kind of incomprehensible confusion and complexity.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Thiago put on an impersonal smile, "Go back and have a good rest. Finding the criminal is better left to us."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Camilla, who was having a distorted expression of doubting life, and after a pause of two seconds, he called her and Gabriel's names nonchalantly: "By the way, there is something I have to talk to you two about. Tell me, come with me."
"As ordered."
After walking behind Gabriel and Thiago for quite a long distance, until Camilla was sure that they could no longer see the sea from their current position, Thiago finally stopped, turned around and looked at them, There was no trace of the daunting depressive expression just now: "Although today's incident has been calmed down temporarily, we still have to find relevant clues as soon as possible. After Chao Ling returns, if she finds anything, I'll let you know." tell you.
As for Bernice, it would not be suitable for her to live in the same place now.If something like this happens again, I'm afraid it will be bad for everyone.So, I will arrange for her to live in my place, I believe this will make everyone feel at ease, what do you think? "
"All follow the instructions of Your Majesty."
As Gabriel said, he was about to reach out to take the thorn, but Tiago stopped him with a slight signal, and saw him stretching out his hand to Camilla, with praise in his voice: "Just now you were also focused on finding out what caused this The culprit of the disaster of the Sea Clan, I understand, you did a really good job."
The young angel with wings was stunned for half a second, and when she subconsciously went to pick it up, a piercing icy divine power pierced through her muscles and bones unsuspectingly, forcing her to kneel down with a scream.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Gabriel didn't even have time to be astonished, but quickly knelt down in front of him on one knee, wanting to intercede for Camilla.
However, Thiago did not intend to give him this opportunity, and directly interrupted him irresistibly, with a creepy calmness from expression to tone: "I understand that you will treat her because of some hard-to-change stereotypes." Even if you did something like that just now, please be sure to understand me.”
"This is the second time I have met, Camilla." He stared indifferently at the female angel in front of him whose limbs were numb due to the extreme low temperature, and even her breathing began to be difficult, "I feel that I have also That's enough tolerance. So, don't let it happen again, can you do it?"
She seemed to want to nod, but her unconscious body didn't allow her to make any movements. She could only look at the blond sea god in front of her in panic, and even the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes were frozen on the eyeballs, spreading across her eyes. A thin layer of white frost flowers.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot that you can't talk for a while."
Thiago sighed with regret, and then turned to Gabriel: "Although I understand that you have to manage so many subordinates at the same time and take care of other things, it is indeed a tiring thing. But let them understand that they should not Don’t keep talking nonsense, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right? Or, if you don’t mind, I’ll be more than happy to help you deal with it when I’m free.”
"This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me under the crown. In the future, such things will definitely not happen again." Gabriel bowed his head in response.
"Okay." He said, bent down, and gently put his hand on Gabriel's shoulder, as gentle and harmless as if comforting a frightened child.
A few strands of platinum-blonde hair followed Tiago's movements, slid over the folds of his white suit, and swayed softly and lightly in front of Gabriel, reminding him of the first morning light falling on the tip of a sword for no reason.
"I have always trusted you."
"It's not an example."
As he spoke, he straightened up, turned to Camilla, who was twitching as if she was about to faint at any moment, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, this spell will only last for a short time, just be patient."
"As for this." Tiago looked at the sharp spike in his hand, thoughtfully silent for a while, and then said, "It seems that it is not too safe to put it anywhere, so let's keep it in my Here."
"...As ordered."
"Okay, I have nothing else to do, I wish you a happy day."
……
This weird cloudy weather didn't last long. About two hours later, the sun poured down from the sky again, wrapping everything around in an overly brilliant brightness.
Bernice sat alone on a rock, propping her face on her knees with her hands, staring aimlessly at the deep blue sea in front of her, letting her black hair be messed up by the wind and not bothering to care.
She recalled everything that happened today, from the appearance of the butcher in the dense forest bar in the morning, and the sudden breaking of the protective cover of the marine ecosystem at almost the same time, there was always a feeling that these two things must be related in some way.
But then, another question came to her mind - if all of this was designed by the impostor, then what kind of purpose does she want to achieve through these things?
In all fairness, these methods of framing people are not clever, and even a little too clumsy and stupid.At least from the current results, this level of framing did not really have any substantial impact on her.
Combined with many signs that it was obviously planned against her decades ago, Bernice couldn't understand why the behavior that was actually imposed on her in the end was so innocuous.
Or is this all just testing?
But if so, what is it testing?
She tried to deduce a clear and credible conclusion, but she still couldn't succeed. Depressed, she could only pick up the broken stones at her feet and throw them into the sea one by one. passed away.
When another stone is thrown into the water, the splashed clusters of water no longer fall down, but rotate and condense, and are quickly frozen into diamond-like clear and flawless ice beads in the hot summer sun.
They seemed to be endowed with new eternal life by an invisible external force, and they were quickly connected together, turning into a brilliant bead chain and floating behind Bernice.
Turning her head along those shiny and beautiful ice beads, Bernice saw Tiago who had been standing not far behind her at some point.
The other party walked up to her, and put the cold and refreshing bead chain into her hand: "I like it!"
And when he came to the seaside and saw the chaotic scene in front of him, that bad premonition deepened again.
After losing the protective cover, a large amount of unpurified seawater poured into the ecological circle, and countless pollutants and invisible toxins also followed.The clear feeling of discomfort gradually increased,? In the end,? There was even a tendency to be unable to breathe.
The sea tribes who were forced to survive surfaced one after another trying to breathe a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long. The scorching sun above their heads evaporated all the moisture on their skins.Cracked white marks covered their bodies that would become extremely fragile once out of the water, and the unbearable burning sensation tormented them.
In a panic, I don't know who yelled first, "It's the protective cover that was broken."Immediately followed were countless shrill cries for help and prayers. Many sea people with weak magic power had even appeared in a state of shock. Their pupils were dilated, and the corners of their mouths were covered with large groups of white foam that they spit out instinctively. From time to time, their bodies Twitching, unable to utter the tiniest syllable.
When the guards arrived, the beach was already crowded with countless sea creatures struggling.They are exposed to the summer heat without any cover, and the surrounding waters are gradually polluted, and they can only be trapped in shallow water.
Gabriel was quick to order: "Turn out the sun for a while and treat the ones in serious condition first."
"clear."
Since they couldn't dive into the bottom of the sea to repair the damaged protective cover, they could only learn about the current situation under the sea surface by asking those sea people who still kept their sanity.
On the choppy dark blue sea, countless pale waves wash up tirelessly,? Turning into a pile of dead snow,? Disappearing in the gaps of countless reefs in an instant,? Repeatedly.
Gabriel turned his head to look at the Sea Clan beside him, frowned and asked: "This ecosystem was created by Mian Yi at the beginning, and it has never happened in decades,? It can't be that I suddenly It's cracked. Does any of you know what's going on?"
After a period of vague discussion, one of the sea tribe replied in an uncertain tone: "I was hunting nearby, and I seemed to see...someone's shadow or something."
"Can you recognize who it is?" he asked.
The other party flinched and shook his head: "It's too far away, I can't be sure. But before the protective cover broke, many of our companions saw a green flame light up from there, and then...then that's what you saw That's it."
"Green flame?" Gabriel repeated, quickly recalling the incident involving Bernice in the cell a few days ago.
Before he could continue asking, Troy, who was using a healing technique to heal a white butterfly shell elf who had lost consciousness, suddenly let out an eh, and tried to poke the strange thing stuck in the opponent's shell with his finger, and said in surprise. Ask: "What is this?"
Gabriel glanced down, and was immediately attracted by the weird and special dark blue lines, so he quickly pulled out the sharp and slender weapon for careful identification.
Soon, he realized the origin of this thing, and immediately his face changed slightly, and the frown between his brows became deeper.
He turned his head, and was about to explain something to the angels who were standing by, but the older sea tribe screamed immediately after seeing the things in his hand, their faces were full of fear and anger, and they even raised their hands. Her movements trembled clearly: "This is the sea witch's snail!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the surrounding Sea Clans immediately started making noises, screaming and cursing, asking the guards to immediately detain Bernice: "She must have done it! She wanted to kill us all! No one else could do such a thing except this devil!"
"That's right! She must have broken the protective cover! Now that the evidence is here, she must be put in jail! Don't let her out!"
"Didn't you say that before the protective cover broke, I saw a strange figure appearing nearby? Except for her, none of us has the power to break the protective cover. It must be her!"
Troy was a little frightened by the sudden outburst of intense hatred, and it was useless to appease the angels around him.Their hatred for sea witches, such demons, is shockingly intense and extremely unified.Even the most gentle sea people will show uncontrollable anger when this demon is mentioned.
Troy tried his best to get away from the terrible noise and curses, retreated to Gabriel's side, and opened his eyes wide to look at the group of sea people who were so angry that they wanted to drag Bernice out immediately to execute him, and then looked at Gabriel was holding a sharp weapon called a thorn, and was a little embarrassed for a while: "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Your Majesty should be back soon, go and invite Bernice over here." Gabriel thought for a while before adding, "But since she's not in the sea, you can go to the Jungle Bar to find her first. Look, it might be there."
"clear."
Looking at the back of Troy leaving, Camilla said with a very bad expression: "Knowing that the protective cover is broken, she herself is most likely to be suspected, but she still left her weapon on the scene so casually. Are you really so confident that you won't be punished even if you are discovered?"
"So, I don't think this matter really has anything to do with her. Such a loophole-filled and stupid approach, the biggest effect is to incite the hatred of other sea tribes towards her." Gabriel glanced at her lightly, his tone cold And with a reminder, "Before speaking later, it is best to consider the situation clearly and be careful."
The situation he mentioned was not an analysis of the whole incident, but the surrounding situation.
For example, you can never say that in front of Thiago.
Camilla was stunned, and naturally thought of the reason why even the angels at the security guards were discussing why Bernice was clearly a felon who had committed the crime of killing gods, but the sea god cared for her very much. .
She tried to justify: "But sir, she is a demon after all. And she is the only sea demon capable of breaking the protective shield that we know so far. In addition, in the previous detention room, Grendel..."
"Your Majesty said that you should deal with that matter in a low-key manner and don't need to publicize it. Don't mention it casually in the future." Gabriel interrupted her expressionlessly, and his tone was as cold as a river under the ice in winter , There was a cold and hard brilliance in the golden eyes.
With such an attitude, Camilla knew very well that she had better not say anything more.But the confusion and disgust entrenched in her heart did not subside. She couldn't understand why they would start to defend a notorious demon now, let alone what Thiago's attitude towards this sea witch meant.
Not long after, Troy brought Bernice over.She seemed to have no idea what was going on here. Although her brows were frowning, the doubt and bewilderment in those light green eyes were crystal clear.
Seeing that the recognized culprit had appeared, all the victims of this disaster jumped up and pointed at her, cursed and yelled at her to pay the price, and even loudly demanded that Bernice should be executed directly to vent their anger of.
If words could hurt, Troy had no doubts that they could kill Bernice a million times.Even though those extremely mean and vicious words were not aimed at him, they still made him feel very uncomfortable when they fell on his ears.
Seeing that Bernice seemed to be completely unprepared, she was completely speechless when she was scolded by a large group of sea tribes when she first arrived at the scene, Gabriel pursed his lips, and was about to speak to stop him, but caught a glimpse of Bernice Si blinked quickly, completely wiped the overly soft look of bewilderment from her eyes, then skillfully put on a standard villain face, and sneered back: "Since everyone is so united, who is willing to stand up now?" Kill me? By the way, no matter who it is, I will fight back."
She probably didn't expect that she would fast-forward to this topic so directly. The Hai Clan, who were still furious just now, suddenly quieted down, and the consternation and anger that hadn't faded were all embarrassingly stuck on their faces.
After a while, the one who came back to his senses the fastest was an old sea lion, Cook.He stared at Bernice, so angry that even his beard was trembling, his hoarse voice was a little sharp because of the emotional fluctuations: "You, the chief culprit who almost killed all our companions, dare to be so arrogant..."
"Did you call it arrogant by stating clearly that I would fight back?" Bernice looked at the other party expressionlessly, "Then if I really fight back in a while, wouldn't you all be unable to find more serious words to describe me? ?”
Cook was trembling with anger at her words, he couldn't breathe for two consecutive breaths and seemed to be about to faint, his face flushed and screamed at Gabriel: "Archangel! You all heard, this demon not only broke Take off the protective cover, and take revenge on us in front of your face!"
His words made many other sea people start to join in, shouting loudly that the security must immediately arrest and convict this dangerous person.
Bernice snorted, rolled her eyes and retorted: "I mean I want to fight back, but so what? I haven't done anything until now. If this kind of talk can also be called 'hands-on' If you want to take revenge, then you just said in front of the Archangel and others that I must die to appease your anger, so can I also think that you have already done something to me, so I can also directly take revenge?"
After hearing what she said, some timid sea people immediately reported to the group to stay away, for fear that she would suddenly go crazy or start a killing spree, and the round and wet eyes were full of uncontrollable panic.
Seeing this, Camilla couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in a cold voice: "0331, the ecological circle on the bottom of the sea has been maliciously broken, and they are all innocent victims, so it's understandable. It just so happens that we also found Don’t you think this attitude is too much for the direct evidence related to you?”
The news that the ecological circle was broken really surprised Bernice, but she paid more attention to the second half of the sentence: "What is the direct evidence?"
"You should be familiar with this kind of thing, right?" Camilla said, pointing to the snail in Gabriel's hand, "This is a weapon belonging to a sea witch, and it was found on a victim, right in the protective cover. After being broken."
Bernice looked in the direction she was pointing in doubt, and when her eyes touched the snail, she trembled very obviously, and even her face turned a little pale, as if it was unbelievable to see it here .
The snail that she had already discarded in some dark corner under the deep sea, was always pinched and twisted by Ursula.
Compared with the feeling of holding it, Bernice is more familiar with the sharp pain of being pierced by it and pressing against the fragile throat, which is like crushing the bone.
That was the symbol of the sea witch, and one of her deepest fears.
After her thoughts went blank for a second, Bernice quickly recalled the impostor in the detention room who had the same appearance as her and even the same fish scale necklace.
At that time, Thiago speculated that the scale she had left in Kamchatka was found by the other party, which was the only reasonable explanation.
And now, the snail thorn that she discarded when she got it decades ago also appeared in front of her in such a strange way, deliberately vicious.
"Do you have anything to explain?" The obviously frightened expression on Bernice's face gave Camilla enough confidence, making her questioning tone even more blunt.But it sounded like she didn't want to hear any explanation from Bernice, she already had a judgment in her mind.
After barely adjusting her emotions, Bernice glanced at the other party first, shrugged, and also replied not very kindly: "The explanation is that whoever threw it into the sea is very stupid. "
Considering that Camilla belongs to the angel camp, it would be very troublesome to offend them rashly.Bernice thought for a while, and finally swallowed the second half of the sentence, "As for those people who directly suspect me because of this clumsy trick, they are even more stupid."
But even so, her words were enough to make Camilla feel offended: "What's your attitude? Don't you dare to say that this is not your thing?"
"I dare. It wasn't mine in the first place." Bernice denied it without burden.
She really never considered the snails her own, so that wouldn't be a lie.
"you……"
Probably because she didn't expect the other party to open her eyes and talk nonsense so openly, Camilla didn't know what to say for a while, she just glared at her with a clear sense of disgust flatly expressed on her face.
Gabriel stood quietly aside, focusing on the expression on Bernice's face.He found that, compared with those soft kindness and love, Bernice is obviously more familiar with how to face and counter other people's malice towards her.
After an unreasonable thick-skinned operation, the scene finally basically quieted down.At the same time, the creatures present finally realized more or less that it was impossible to defeat this immoral sea witch by provoking a topic. She could drive people to death.
Seeing that no one was going to continue talking, Bernice took the initiative to say: "Though breaking the protective cover, although I can do it objectively, it is completely unnecessary, isn't it? Why should I choose so easy to let others Think of my method, and leave the most critical evidence to you, as if you are afraid that you will not know that I did it?"
What she said seemed to make sense, but some sea people still raised sharp questions: "Then how do you explain the fact that the snail appeared here?"
"Why should I explain?" Bernice asked innocently, "It's not my thing, of course I don't know how it came here."
"But this is the sea witch's property!" a hermit crab jumped up and shouted at her, "Whether you admit it or not, you should be responsible for this! You have hurt so many innocent creatures, you should pay the price! repent!"
Bernice glanced at him with downcast eyes, without changing her face: "Such noble words, it's better to discuss it with someone else. Or if you want to tell everyone first, how do you deal with being killed by you?" I would also be happy to hear the confession of those innocent conch shells that took the shell."
"I..." The hermit crab who was poked at the sore spot tried to explain angrily, "That's the nature of creatures, you have no right to accuse me!"
"So you think that biological nature should not be evaluated." Bernice nodded, and then showed a sincere expression of approval, "I think so too. It's just that I didn't expect that I would be so kind in your eyes."
"What... what?" The hermit crab was confused by her incoherent tone.
"Since you think that biological nature should not be evaluated, I can only think that in your eyes I am actually very kind. Otherwise, what position do you have to accuse a demon? Don't you know this best?" Bernice said.
This logic is too rogue.Troy thought about it silently, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little bit better.
The Hermit Crab blushed and shouted at Gabriel together with other sea tribes who had given up on confronting Bernice directly: "This demon is just making excuses! She admits it herself. Her nature is rotten, it is impossible for this matter to have nothing to do with her, the snail is the best evidence, she must be locked up! Otherwise, she will definitely carry out even more terrible revenge on us!"
Before Gabriel made a statement, Camilla, who had long been unable to bear Bernice's standard villain-like speech, also took the initiative to agree, her tone was very cold because of suppressing her anger: "Sir, according to the parole regulations, if 0331 Any recidivism or no sign of remorse during the parole period should be immediately taken back to the Sin Garden and dealt with according to the original sin."
"I said I didn't do it." Bernice's attitude was as strong as hers, even tit-for-tat. There was an astonishing coldness in her light green eyes, like a piece of emerald that hadn't been polished, with sharp edges and corners. Clear and sharp, "When I was imprisoned in the Fallen Sin Garden, did you search for the snails from my hand? I think after I was imprisoned, the mermaid tribe should also destroy the entire sea witch lair. Who knows? Ever found it?
Even if you think it was hidden by me, then I should hide it in the original world, right?Only through the latitude hole can one travel between the two worlds, and these entrances are all supervised by the security department. How can I bypass the surveillance of all of you, return to the original world to find this thing, and then deliberately throw it in the sea Waiting for you to find out? "
"You reminded me of that."
Camilla stared coldly at the other party: "Aren't you the one who supervises those latitude holes in the ocean range? I think you returned to the original world from one of them. Then put this screw thorn Find it out."
As if they had found a breakthrough all of a sudden, the sea clan immediately supported Camilla's guess, clamoring that the truth was like this: "Stop talking nonsense with her, and put this damned devil back in prison now!"
"That's right! Lock it back! Lock it back!"
"Kill her! Damn her! Damn her!"
"Wouldn't it be better to come out and kill me yourself if you think I'm damned?" Bernice looked at the surrounding sea people expressionlessly, not flinching from these aggressive malice at all, "I'm standing here, why do you It's just that they only talk about wanting me to die, and no one catches up?"
"You are too much 0331!" Camilla snapped, "It's not up to you here!"
"yes."
A familiar gentle voice suddenly sounded, and at almost the same instant, the surrounding angels and sea tribes all backed away in unison, kneeling down and saluting: "Your Majesty the Sea God."
Camilla turned her head in astonishment, and saw a white and tall figure standing there at the end of the queue lined up by many devout souls, the soft platinum hair tip was blown in front of his eyes by the wind, There was a signature faint smile on his face, and the gray light in the sky was reflected in his eyes, the blue was like frozen sea ice: "I also think it's not good for everyone to keep arguing like this, after all, things always have to be resolved." There is a conclusion. How about choosing someone who can have the final say here to make a decision, how about it?"
As he spoke, Thiago slowly walked over, stood in front of Camilla who immediately returned to his senses after a brief daze, and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, with a soft tone, and even asked with a hint of hope and encouragement: "You I have seen the performance just now, it is very good. So, let you have the final say, okay?"
Camilla raised her head, met the other person's face and looked down at her with a smile, inexplicably feeling a shivering sensation of scalp numbness.She didn't understand where this instinctive fear like a creature avoiding danger came from. The expression of the young god in front of her seemed so gentle and harmless, but...
She hesitated in bewilderment, and after a moment, finally realized that something was wrong.
It's those eyes.
The smile and expression on his face were kind and calm, and the words he said were not offensive in any way.
But in those eyes, there was no joy at all, nor any sullen or indifferent emotions that only ordinary creatures can have.
He looked at himself as if he was watching a speck of dust that suddenly broke into his sight and brought some kind of disharmony to the surroundings.
No need to worry or get angry, just raise your hand and wipe her away.
"You seem a little nervous." Thiago said with concern, but his eyes remained unchanged, completely covering Camilla's body, watching a crystal drop of sweat gradually slipping down from her graceful neck, "Is there anything that scares you?"
"No..." She lowered her head, her posture and tone were lower than before, "Thank you for your trust, it's just me... I think..."
Gabriel closed his eyes, took the initiative to take Camilla's words, and said, "It's just that we agree that this matter should be decided by you in order to convince everyone."
"This demon almost killed all of our companions, Qiu Mian ordered her to be imprisoned back to the Sin Garden! She should pay for her crimes!"
"Yes! She should be executed directly! Demons should go to hell!"
"I beg Your Majesty to put her back in prison!"
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Bernice felt more and more irritable, and couldn't help but look up to Tiago's direction, but found that he was not panicked, and only calmly looked at the angry sea people. Take a look at the past.
Then, as if he had noticed something, he stretched out his hand and lightly pressed his index finger to his lips, making a short silence gesture.
Then, Thiago walked around those sea people with obviously puzzled expressions, came to the corner, squatted down in front of a female dolphin who was holding a dying cub in her arms, and gently covered the little dolphin's forehead with his hand , gently reassuring the teary-eyed mother: "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
The sporadic silver-blue radiance spread, and the little dolphin, whose face was purple just now, regained its health from time to time. It looked at Thiago with a pair of dark eyes and laughed, its fat little tail was wagging happily, babbling. Babbling and coquettish.
"He's too young now, he can't change form, and he can't stay on land for a long time." Thiago gently touched the little guy's face with his fingers, "I'll fix the protective cover right away, you have to do it as soon as possible Take your baby back to the sea, will you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, I..."
"It's ok."
Thiago said, after carefully treating all the other sea people who were still in poor condition because they were too young or old even though they had received the angels' healing technique, he got up again, turned to the sea and called out the tide spirit .
The huge and transparent sea wave spirit immediately appeared in front of everyone, bringing countless cold and fresh water splashes like a heavy rain, and fell down obediently towards Tiago, waiting for his order.
"I have to repair the protective cover first, and you immediately go to see if there are any creatures trapped on the bottom of the sea, and if there are any, heal them immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The moment the tide spirit receded back to the ocean, the raging waves immediately surged, and the rapidly rising tide engulfed the nearby beaches and reefs.The angels spread their wings one after another and retreated to places other than the ocean.
Bernice stood knee-deep in the cool sea water, separated by a short distance from many marine creatures who were cheering and patting the water to celebrate. Seeing Thiago turn his head towards her, his eyes focused on On her body, the smile was real and warm: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
It didn't take too much time to repair the protective cover. After a while, when the waves gathered and rushed to the beach again, Thiago also walked out of the cascading emerald blue tide: "It's all right, Everyone who wants to go home and rest, go back first, it is indeed easy to feel uncomfortable staying on the shore for a long time."
"But Your Majesty..."
"I know." Thiago interrupted the other party's words in a gentle tone, and stretched out his hand to signal Gabriel to take the spike, "You want to find out who did this. To be honest, I am also very curious."
He took the snail handed by the archangel, carefully identified it for a while, and seemed to see something that made him feel very interesting. He held it and tapped it gently in his palm, saying: "This is indeed a Sea witch's snail, yes."
After hearing this sentence, all the angels and the sea clan exploded immediately.Bernice felt that the whole devil was stunned for a moment, and an unprecedented sense of panic filled her chest. Together with the inexplicable grievance and heavy sourness, she was almost unable to breathe, and even her throat was full of that kind of pain. Terrible pain.
However, immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling chill suddenly spread in the air, and the sound of the sea waves was replaced by the slight crackling sound of frozen frost.The sea breeze, which was still warm and humid just now, suddenly turned into a frosty knife, cutting the skin with pain.
Tiago raised his eyes to look at the high-spirited sea people and angels again, and the last mask-like hypocrisy and gentleness on his face disappeared, and asked in a low voice: "I have exhausted my patience talking to you, be quiet Is it really so difficult to live and listen to me?"
I don't understand why he is suddenly so angry, but even so, no creature dares to speak out and make a sound.The whole seaside is as dead as a pale wasteland, except for the sharp sound of the wind horn, there is no living sound.
"This snail is indeed real. But more than fifty years ago, I seized it from the former sea witch's lair, and kept it sealed in a place known only to me and Augsig. Therefore, it is impossible for Bernice to find it, and it has nothing to do with the breaking of the protective cover. This is all my judgment."
He said word by word, clearly and slowly: "Do you understand what I say?"
After a period of absolute silence where even breathing seemed noisy, Gabriel took the lead in responding: "Remember what you said when you returned to the crown."
After there was an angel at the beginning, the rest of the creatures followed and repeated the same words intermittently, and the expressions on their faces all revealed a kind of incomprehensible confusion and complexity.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Thiago put on an impersonal smile, "Go back and have a good rest. Finding the criminal is better left to us."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Camilla, who was having a distorted expression of doubting life, and after a pause of two seconds, he called her and Gabriel's names nonchalantly: "By the way, there is something I have to talk to you two about. Tell me, come with me."
"As ordered."
After walking behind Gabriel and Thiago for quite a long distance, until Camilla was sure that they could no longer see the sea from their current position, Thiago finally stopped, turned around and looked at them, There was no trace of the daunting depressive expression just now: "Although today's incident has been calmed down temporarily, we still have to find relevant clues as soon as possible. After Chao Ling returns, if she finds anything, I'll let you know." tell you.
As for Bernice, it would not be suitable for her to live in the same place now.If something like this happens again, I'm afraid it will be bad for everyone.So, I will arrange for her to live in my place, I believe this will make everyone feel at ease, what do you think? "
"All follow the instructions of Your Majesty."
As Gabriel said, he was about to reach out to take the thorn, but Tiago stopped him with a slight signal, and saw him stretching out his hand to Camilla, with praise in his voice: "Just now you were also focused on finding out what caused this The culprit of the disaster of the Sea Clan, I understand, you did a really good job."
The young angel with wings was stunned for half a second, and when she subconsciously went to pick it up, a piercing icy divine power pierced through her muscles and bones unsuspectingly, forcing her to kneel down with a scream.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Gabriel didn't even have time to be astonished, but quickly knelt down in front of him on one knee, wanting to intercede for Camilla.
However, Thiago did not intend to give him this opportunity, and directly interrupted him irresistibly, with a creepy calmness from expression to tone: "I understand that you will treat her because of some hard-to-change stereotypes." Even if you did something like that just now, please be sure to understand me.”
"This is the second time I have met, Camilla." He stared indifferently at the female angel in front of him whose limbs were numb due to the extreme low temperature, and even her breathing began to be difficult, "I feel that I have also That's enough tolerance. So, don't let it happen again, can you do it?"
She seemed to want to nod, but her unconscious body didn't allow her to make any movements. She could only look at the blond sea god in front of her in panic, and even the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes were frozen on the eyeballs, spreading across her eyes. A thin layer of white frost flowers.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot that you can't talk for a while."
Thiago sighed with regret, and then turned to Gabriel: "Although I understand that you have to manage so many subordinates at the same time and take care of other things, it is indeed a tiring thing. But let them understand that they should not Don’t keep talking nonsense, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right? Or, if you don’t mind, I’ll be more than happy to help you deal with it when I’m free.”
"This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me under the crown. In the future, such things will definitely not happen again." Gabriel bowed his head in response.
"Okay." He said, bent down, and gently put his hand on Gabriel's shoulder, as gentle and harmless as if comforting a frightened child.
A few strands of platinum-blonde hair followed Tiago's movements, slid over the folds of his white suit, and swayed softly and lightly in front of Gabriel, reminding him of the first morning light falling on the tip of a sword for no reason.
"I have always trusted you."
"It's not an example."
As he spoke, he straightened up, turned to Camilla, who was twitching as if she was about to faint at any moment, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, this spell will only last for a short time, just be patient."
"As for this." Tiago looked at the sharp spike in his hand, thoughtfully silent for a while, and then said, "It seems that it is not too safe to put it anywhere, so let's keep it in my Here."
"...As ordered."
"Okay, I have nothing else to do, I wish you a happy day."
……
This weird cloudy weather didn't last long. About two hours later, the sun poured down from the sky again, wrapping everything around in an overly brilliant brightness.
Bernice sat alone on a rock, propping her face on her knees with her hands, staring aimlessly at the deep blue sea in front of her, letting her black hair be messed up by the wind and not bothering to care.
She recalled everything that happened today, from the appearance of the butcher in the dense forest bar in the morning, and the sudden breaking of the protective cover of the marine ecosystem at almost the same time, there was always a feeling that these two things must be related in some way.
But then, another question came to her mind - if all of this was designed by the impostor, then what kind of purpose does she want to achieve through these things?
In all fairness, these methods of framing people are not clever, and even a little too clumsy and stupid.At least from the current results, this level of framing did not really have any substantial impact on her.
Combined with many signs that it was obviously planned against her decades ago, Bernice couldn't understand why the behavior that was actually imposed on her in the end was so innocuous.
Or is this all just testing?
But if so, what is it testing?
She tried to deduce a clear and credible conclusion, but she still couldn't succeed. Depressed, she could only pick up the broken stones at her feet and throw them into the sea one by one. passed away.
When another stone is thrown into the water, the splashed clusters of water no longer fall down, but rotate and condense, and are quickly frozen into diamond-like clear and flawless ice beads in the hot summer sun.
They seemed to be endowed with new eternal life by an invisible external force, and they were quickly connected together, turning into a brilliant bead chain and floating behind Bernice.
Turning her head along those shiny and beautiful ice beads, Bernice saw Tiago who had been standing not far behind her at some point.
The other party walked up to her, and put the cold and refreshing bead chain into her hand: "I like it!"
