How to become a sea witch

I don't know if it's because of Tiago's presence? When Bernice came to the white and bright palace full of flowers and sunshine again, she was not affected by the overly strong aura of divine power around her as before.

In addition to sitting in front of Augsig and being watched by his pair of golden eyes,? I still feel uncomfortable.

"Would you like something to drink?" He asked politely, and the servant at the side had already quickly brought up the refreshments he had prepared.

"Thank you." Bernice took a sip of the sea salt water in front of her. "You just said that you could answer my question. Then I would like to ask, what is going on?"

"She is indeed not you. But in a sense,? It can also be said that you are the same person."

"……what?"

Bernice looked at the God of Light in confusion, and heard him continue to explain: "The dimensional void is a passage connecting two worlds,? I think you already know about this."

"That's it."

"The first dimensional hole appeared hundreds of years ago. At that time, although it was not serious enough to cause the fusion of different worlds, the trend of mutual influence had already begun to appear.

Until later, Yemengarde's state was so chaotic that I couldn't deal with it alone, so the Heart of the Ocean entered the world as a balancing force. "

Having said that,? He paused for a moment, and then asked: "I remember I told you that the history books will appear in front of the creatures that change the fate of the world, right?"

"Yes, I do remember."

"Then you can understand. Because she, or, you in another world, came to our present world through the history books at that time."

"I... from another world?" Bernice repeated incredulously, her light green eyes were full of bewilderment, "You mean, she is actually... really me,? It's just that it's from another world ?”

Oggsge nodded: "Because the relationship between the various worlds is gradually merging, the history recorded in the time history book also has an intersection point. As you from another world, after she was brought here by the time history book, Everything she has done has confirmed that she is indeed a creature that can affect the fate of the world."

This logic sounds a bit weird-it is obvious that the reason for all this happened is because another she was brought to this world by the time history book, but the reason why she was selected by the time history book is precisely what happened later.

The cause is the result, and everything is recorded in the history books of the years.

When Bernice thought of this, she was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong sense of fate that followed.

"No wonder she knows me so well..." She muttered to herself in a daze, "So that's how it is."

"It's the same reason. Haven't you always wondered why Ursula chose you to be the sea witch's heir?"

Augersig smiled and said, "Because Ursula saw the potential she hoped for from another you, so she chose you."

After a long silence, she asked again: "Then, she was hiding next to Rebecca as Sabrina from the very beginning, right?"

"No." Thiago shook his head and continued, "Sabrina is just a medium chosen by her and Wyatt to approach us on purpose. Before returning from the human world, she deliberately did not completely wipe out Sabrina. Na’s sanity. But in retrospect, since she met the butcher in the dense forest bar, but suddenly couldn’t use the light magic, she has been gradually controlled or even replaced by another sea witch.”【1】

Unlike Oggsger who would bluntly say the fact that another sea witch is also Bernice, Thiago would naturally avoid saying that when explaining the same thing, so as not to let Bernice have too much unnecessary guilt.

"And the reason why she asked Wyatt to cooperate is also because she needs to master the ability to wear other people's skins on her body and successfully deceive most creatures."

"Then, she killed Rodriguez to prevent others from discovering that she came from another world, right?" Bernice tried to analyze.

"That's right. But there is another more important reason, which is to ensure that the other you who came to this world is only herself."

Augersger said, seeing Bernice's surprised expression, he smiled happily: "It's a surprise, isn't it? She is so eager to take your place and steal your life. Even if Until then, you've always felt like a mess. But for her, it's her only chance to survive, otherwise she will soon end up like Ursula."

"This may be the nature of all creatures."

He said, "No matter what I have, I always subconsciously feel that maybe in another world, I will live better, and I envy the self I have never met. But many times, they are actually longing for yours. Life."

These words poured down from the top of Bernice's head like icy spring water, making her subconsciously look at Tiago next to her after a long period of stupefaction, feeling like waking up from a dream for the first time.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." Augsig stood up while speaking, and added with a smile to Thiago, "By the way, please stay here temporarily tonight, maybe You're going to need to go see some places again."

...and when will this happen in the future?

Bernice pursed her lips, feeling that it was still impossible to have a clear definition of preferences for the All-Seeing Eye.

Seeing that she seemed to be rubbing her eyes quite tiredly, and there was no anger on her face, Thiago lowered his head and kissed her brow gently: "Do you want to take a rest? I will accompany you."

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded, but when she was about to speak, Tiago picked her up and walked out.

Seeing many angels, servants, and various elves who stopped around and saluted them one after another, Bernice suddenly felt that the whole demon was awake, and struggled quickly: "I'd better go by myself, let me down ...Really! Or... I'm actually not that sleepy anymore, we can just walk and chat like this! No... Wait, why are so many angels suddenly coming up ahead, no, no, no—"

Can't dodge.

Bernice closed her eyes in despair, imitating those flower spirits, and buried her head in Tiago's neck, pretending to be dead.However, she didn't know if it was because his body temperature was too low, but she always felt that her cheeks pressed against the skin of his neck were abnormally hot.

It was obviously not a long journey, but being carried by him all the way back, Bernice felt as if a whole century had passed.

After opening the door and gently placing her on the bed, Thiago raised his head and saw the eyes of the other party who hesitated to speak, so he smiled, and before Bernice could speak, he followed her and lay down next to her, laying down She stretched out her hand and hugged it in her arms, her gentle voice fell on the top of her head: "Sleep, when you wake up, I will be there."

Silently, she raised her arms around the other's waist, the tip of her nose lingered with the fresh ocean breath that made her feel at ease, and melted away all the words she wanted to say in her mind, leaving only an increasingly intense sleepiness.

Bernice had no idea how long she had been asleep, except that when she woke up, it was already dark outside.

The dinner was delivered directly to the room by the servants, and it was obvious at a glance that Thiago asked them to prepare it, because it was all Bernice's favorite food.

Seeing him lowering his eyes to carefully help her handle the fresh ingredients, Bernice bit the scallop meat in her mouth, then stopped suddenly, and looked at him with confused and puzzled eyes, as if it was the first time As if meeting him for the first time: "Can I ask you a question?"

"As long as you speak."

"Do you remember, before we got back, you said that if I still wanted to ask that question, you'd tell me?"

"Yes. I remember." Thiago smiled slightly.

"Then, I still want to ask...why me?" She said, putting down the tableware in her hand, her expression looked a little downcast, "Just like the God of Light said, there are many worlds, and I am not unique But why, it happens to be me?"

This problem has been floating in her heart, and it has never disappeared, but sometimes when she deliberately ignores it, she can pretend not to care.

To this day, after hearing what her other self said to her, and knowing the fact that there are many, many hers in other worlds, Bernice feels that she can no longer avoid this question.

She wants to know Thiago's answer.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her question, Thiago did not give an answer immediately, but said something inexplicably with emotion: "So that's what Augsig meant."

"what?"

"After you finish eating, I will take you to see the answer you want."

Look?

Bernice froze for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.

It wasn't until after the dinner that Tiago took her to the steeple tower where the history books were kept, and looked up at the countless intricate and fine reliefs on the gate that she probably understood.At the same time, that sense of fate resurfaced once again.

Hundreds of years ago, she broke into this place in a panic, met Thiago who did not have a name or a specific form at that time, and even witnessed the extinguishing of the eternal candle with him without knowing it.

And now, they came here again, the place where everything started.

The thick door in front of it slowly opened to those who came, revealing countless recorded star maps and vast history.

Thiago took her hand and clasped his fingers. The hazy silver light from the top of his head accumulated in his blue eyes, as bright as a sea of ​​stars: "The answer you want is in the history books At the starting point, I will accompany you to see it."

"Okay." Bernice nodded, and also held the other party back, and followed him slowly all the way in.

Probably because the end they want to reach is also the starting point of the history books, a time that is so long that it cannot be understood at all.Bernice found that the scene she saw this time was completely different from the last time she came in with the God of Light. Although they were not walking fast, the surrounding star maps and historical images were rapidly receding, almost forming a line Glowing tunnels surrounded them.

Countless civilizations and lives around them have gradually changed from decline to prosperity, and then degenerated into the most primitive state of germination or even nothingness.

For a moment, she really had the illusion that she was going upstream along the endless time.

The constant alternation of birth and death makes time a visible existence, and also makes all things take root in it, prosperity alternates, and lives endlessly.

Bernice had no clear idea of ​​how long they had been in this time tunnel.But from a certain point, she found that the torrent of time around her began to slow down significantly, and the life in it gradually became more and more primitive, low-level, and even rare.

She looked at all this in amazement, and then turned her head to look at the still endless front, feeling as if they were walking towards the end of everything step by step, the world was crumbling, and would collapse back into chaos at any time.

An inexplicable sense of panic was aroused, causing Bernice to involuntarily hold Thiago's hand tighter, and at the same time move closer to him, only lowering her head and not looking at him.

"Don't be afraid, it's just that the more time goes on, the closer you will be to the starting point of everything." Tiago comforted gently, with a soft voice, falling in this strange space, the only thing that could make her feel relaxed and able The existence of dependence, "is also where I was originally born."

While talking, they finally came to the source of the history books.

It was a formless, viscous chaos with nothing to see.Except for the endless barrenness, everything that can be described in words does not exist, the senses have completely lost their function, and time has not even begun to flow.

"At that time, we—me, Augsig, and Jormungandr—or the old gods, existed in such a primordial chaos." With Thiago's clear voice, Bernice saw slight changes in the chaotic space in front of her eyes.

A small spot of light suddenly appeared in their field of vision, floating and flickering alone, as fragile as if it would die at any time.Immediately followed by the second and the third, they light up densely and are continuously fused and split by an invisible external force, kneading out many different weird shapes.

Some of the light spots seem to have simple thinking ability, they tried to get rid of this invisible control, but were ruthlessly torn apart, and returned to chaos.

For some reason, Bernice looked at all this, as if she saw an innocent and ignorant child who was using the mud and sand around him to create things in his fantasy at will.

After all the points of light died, some more substantial stardust appeared next.The bright and vast piece of silver, driven by an incomprehensible rule, attracts each other to condense, and grows the initial rock-like substance.

They are all obedient, very obedient, and suitable for being manipulated at will, but they don't develop thinking ability like the previous light spots, and they are completely lifeless things.

This seemed to disappoint their creators, and they too were destroyed, and the world fell into absolute silence once again.

"In the beginning, the creation of the old gods was purely based on instinct. He didn't think, nor did he have any ideas. But from this moment on, he began to seriously think about what he wanted to see. And the problems that followed That is, what is He Himself."

As Thiago said, the space in front of him suddenly began to shrink violently, and a clear but unfixed individual gradually emerged in the center of the vortex.

In the countless strange forms that He alternately presented, time finally began to flow slowly.

Seeing Bernice staring at the original form of the group of old gods with fear and curiosity, Thiago reached out and touched the top of her hair: "You want to know, there are so many different creatures in the world, but why? My heart is going to be you, right?"

She looked up at the other party, pursed her lips and nodded, but heard him suddenly ask a seemingly unrelated question: "I remember you like eating ice cream, right? Although you will get drunk every time you eat them, but still like very much."

"That's right." Bernice admitted, and then added, "Chao Ling also asked me the same question. She said that some things have no reason, just like I will choose a preference among countless human foods Same as ice cream, but…”

"But this answer doesn't make you think it through." Thiago took the initiative to answer the words for her, with a gentle tone.

"Well... After all, I really..."

"Bernese." He suddenly called out the other person's name, "Do you think ice cream is something special?"

"Ah?" She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No. It's very common, but I just happen to like it."

"Then do you know, from this moment on, how long will it take to wait until you have an ordinary ice cream that you love?"

This question was completely beyond the scope of Bernice's imagination. She tried repeatedly for a long time, and finally shook her head.

At the same time, the old god who was still floating aimlessly just now stopped suddenly, and even his own shape began to gradually change and stabilize, becoming more and more like the gods recorded in the ancient scrolls.

He opened his eyes, and the golden all-seeing eyes stared at the endless void in front of him, but it made him see the end of the long future in an instant.From this moment on, the history book was separated from his memory and became an independent existence.

He saw his body turned into Jormungandr, which became the basis of all existence; he saw his eyes turned into Augsig, which became the embodiment of reality, correcting the order of the world's development.

I also saw that in an unreachable day, a panicked figure would break into the history book of time and see the heart I left there.

She said, "My name is Bernice."

"This name is really nice. Does it have any special meaning? I heard that every creature's name has a unique meaning."

"It means..." the girl looked at the other party bewilderedly, and murmured, "Children who come in spring."

The scene in front of her was so surprising that Bernice could barely speak, she could only stare blankly at herself in the picture, her thinking seemed to be interrupted, and she couldn't give any response at all.

The history books stayed on this scene for a long time, and then more new pictures appeared.

It's all about her.

It even completely included how she was instructed by Ursula to deliberately approach Tiago, how she was selected as the successor, and finally became the new sea witch.

It was a story that belonged to her life, but it had been read countless times by Him long before the world existed.

After staring and thinking for an unimaginably long time, a soft silver-blue light gradually grew from his chest cavity.

"This is the moment when He decided to destroy himself and create everything in the world." Thiago explained softly and slowly, "It is also the moment when I was born." "Why... all of a sudden?"

"Because I want to see you."

He laughed: "It's like you want an ice cream. He—or me, wants to see you. Not just in the history books, but the real, full and fresh you who can be touched."

After finishing speaking, Thiago sighed again: "But, there is nothing at this time, so I can only wait."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the old god disappeared completely.Instead, countless dazzling rays of light shone.

"Then you..." Bernice felt her voice trembling uncontrollably, and the hand she held with him gradually tightened, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Almost equal to all the time lengths currently recorded in the history books of the years."

He replied, and the calm and soft voice filled Bernice with the turbulent time:

"I waited from the moment when the old gods died, and watched Yemengard be born from countless scattered matter and energy, forming the basic elements and various celestial bodies needed for life to thrive.

These elements will gradually gather together, evolve and develop, and give birth to the first life form.Next, these low-level life forms will grow and evolve little by little, and differentiate into the most primitive things in the world.

Billions of years have passed by here, but this is just the beginning. "

The picture was reversed and broken, and a brand new world was presented in front of Bernice. It was a planet that had just evolved sporadic primitive life, most of which could not even be directly observed by sight.They are sleeping in the primordial ocean, like countless immature babies.

"Afterwards, I watched the most primitive microorganisms continue to multiply and develop, primitive plants began to appear, low-level animals were born, and various low-level creatures slowly grew and migrated—at this moment, the ecological circle was barely formed.

However, even so, it still needs to wait hundreds of millions of years before advanced life can evolve successfully.After that, they will face many routine mass extinctions. I will weed out many ancient but too simple life forms, and the surviving complex life forms will continue to evolve. "

Countless meteorites fell crazily from behind the torn sky, hitting the ground with scorching, brilliant trails.Wildfires and floods swarmed in, engulfing all the surrounding creatures trying to escape, and the tsunami unscrupulously submerged the originally fertile and prosperous land.The sun was hiding behind the thick impact dust, and the scarce heat caused the whole world to fall into a severe winter with no end in sight, and a large number of animals, plants and various primitive creatures died one after another.

"After the severe winter passed, the remaining creatures began to multiply slowly, and the huge environmental changes gave birth to more new species. At this moment, human beings began to differentiate and thrive, and continued to explore and evolve until they became what they are today. .”

From a long distance in time and space, Bernice watched those ancient humans trying to domesticate domestic animals, exploring all the unknowns from scratch, praying for and relying on the protection of the gods, going through countless detours, creating towns, inventing tools and so on. Improvements to create more sophisticated and complex equipment, and finally ice cream.

"Look. To make an ordinary ice cream in your eyes, you need to wait for the birth and evolution of the entire universe." Thiago looked down at Bernice, and lightly helped her before the tears in the corners of her eyes fell. Erase lightly, "And before I get the result I really want, everything else is just a process for me."

The black-haired girl in front of her finally cried out, and the transparent tears fell one after another, melting into the long river of history flowing slowly under the soles of her feet one by one.

"I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Bernice grabbed his robe, crying so hard that she could hardly speak, everything in her vision was blurred.

She didn't know what kind of concept time was in Thiago's view, and she couldn't imagine the feeling of waiting for someone from such a long time ago.

But when she thinks that in her countless desperate and bleak years, every time she feels inferior, there is always someone waiting for her in the bright future, who regards her as the only one in this thousand worlds. Miracle and meaning, Bernice couldn't stop her tears.

It turned out that she was not a waste that no one expected, as the other sea demons said.Those scars that have been rooted in her heart for hundreds of years and have been festering, at this moment, finally have the ability to heal and regenerate.

"Don't cry." Tiago lowered his head and kissed the end of her eyes, and his soft lips touched Bernice's skin, like a cloud covered with sunshine, "Now you know everything The truth. So, promise me two things, okay?"

Without even asking about anything, Bernice nodded while wiping her tears.Across the turbulent water mist in her field of vision, she couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but she heard his voice clearly: "From today on, try to do whatever you want to do, and be everything you want to be." .I want to see you in the most carefree, brightest and happy way, the ones I have never seen in the history books."

"Okay..." She answered with difficulty in a hoarse voice, tears welling up again.

"One more thing." He stretched out his hand to hug Bernice into his arms, and said in a gentle voice, unchanged from before: "No matter what happens, never leave me again."

"Okay, I promise you..."

"marry me."

Bernice buried her head in his arms, she was already sobbing: "Okay..."

That was all he wanted.

For this, he has waited as long as an entire universe lifetime.

……

One year later, the largest opera house in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia ushered in its centennial celebration.

It is said that they will perform a mysterious drama that subverts the traditional impression of the world, and various promotional news has been flying all over Macedonia since two months ago.

On the day of the official performance, the entrance of the theater was overcrowded. Everyone wanted to see the wonderful content of the performance. There was an endless stream of vehicles passing by, almost blocking all the props near the theater.

As the creator of the script of this drama, Rebecca has already come to the performance hall of the theater very early, and sent a small gift of gratitude to every audience who is looking forward to this performance.

Because there were too many people coming in and out, and the audience who had already suffocated their appetites were too enthusiastic, Rebecca really couldn't find out who they were one by one.

Until suddenly a person she couldn't be more familiar with came in front of her.

"Looks like we're not late."

The black-haired girl in front of her was wearing a long white dress embroidered with complicated silver and blue patterns, and a delicate fishtail mask on her face. Her iconic light green beautiful eyes were hiding behind the mask and winking at her, full of Her black hair was also tied carefully, and some shining diamond ornaments were dotted in it, like stars shining brightly in the dark night.

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and immediately her face was full of joy: "Bo Ni...No, Your Highness the Queen of God..."

"Ah, come on, you'd better call me by my name, and the latter one will be avoided." Bernice hugged her arm and touched it vigorously, as if she was not used to being called the Queen of God.

She looked curiously at the neatly arranged gift boxes and asked, "You all made this?"

"That's right, every audience who watched the show for the first time will have it." As she spoke, Rebecca chose one of the gift boxes tied with a special knot, "This is especially for you, Bernice."

"Remove the honorifics too, please." Bernice took the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and threw a kiss at her, "Then, see you later, little beauty."

"See you later."

After bidding farewell to Rebecca, Bernice finally squeezed out of the crowd with a lot of difficulty, and saw Tiago who was waiting for her in the corner at a glance.

It has to be said that even wearing a mask did not cover up his overly superior appearance, on the contrary, it became more eye-catching.It's no wonder that during the moment she walked over, there were more women who kept looking at him and even took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Have you got it?" Thiago took her hand, glanced at the gift box with lowered eyes, "Then let's go in."

"I'm a bit regretful now." Bernice looked up at him, "I should put a sack on your head before letting you out, otherwise it will affect the public order here."

"Then do you still want to go to a play?" He laughed.

"Of course I still want it." Bernice muttered, "Anyway, they're here."

"Let's go then."

After speaking, they followed the crowd to the spacious and bright performance hall, and sat in the middle seat with the best view specially reserved for them by Rebecca.

As the crimson curtain on the stage in front of me slowly opened, the lights gradually changed from bright white to light blue, as if they had come to the bottom of the water.At the same time, the figure of a slender girl locked in a cage gradually became clear.

She has long black hair, and her eyes are as light green as the buds that have just emerged from the treetops in early spring.

Sitting in the auditorium, Bernice looked at the young girl on the stage, as if time and space had slipped for a moment, and countless complex emotions surged in her heart.

And the voice of the narrator sounded slowly just at this moment:

"No matter which version, the beginning of the story always goes like this:

Below sea level, where sight can no longer be reached, the water is still as blue as the petals of the most beautiful cornflower, and at the same time as clear and transparent as the brightest glass.Yet it is so deep that no chain can reach the bottom..." [2]

——End of text——

The author has something to say: [1] As mentioned in Chapter 59, when the butcher appeared, Sabrina wanted to fight back but suddenly couldn't use magic.

[2] This passage is actually the first paragraph of Chapter 1 of this article.

It's over, thank you to everyone who is willing to see here.

Let’s talk about receiving the document. I haven’t decided whether to continue writing, but even if I want to write, I will write the fantasy article in the column "Brain Hole is Opening". If you are interested, you can go to Kangkang to receive it first.It is of the same type and character as the last completed article "Nezha Breeding Manual". For example, it is like "Cardcaptor Sakura" and "Water Chronicles". The characters are the same, but the plot and background are completely different. different.

If you want to write, I will mark it on the copy of this article in advance before typing the end tag.

In fact, the original source of inspiration for this article was the sentence in "The Little Prince" - "Maybe there are more than 5000 flowers that are exactly like you in the world, but only you are my unique rose".

At the same time, I have always believed that a good love should be achieved by each other, so I am trying to get close to the above two points of view when writing.

Finally, thank you again to everyone who is willing to see here, and hope to have a period of time with you in the future.
