Chapter 320 Friends
“What’s weird?”
Jilan raised his eyes and asked with some confusion.
"Ah..." Tolina quickly turned her head and whispered: "It's nothing."
She couldn't help but smoothed her messy long black hair and pulled the hair from her forehead Whisk behind the ears.
Gilan looked at the girl in wheelchair holding the burning "Dawn Cross" with one hand, and the firelight illuminated her pale side face red.
"It seems to be effective."
He couldn't help but smile.
My face is red, that must be effective!
"Well, thank you, Mr. Gillan."
Torina glanced at the blond young man carefully and said seriously.
"I will keep this token well."
"You're welcome. You have helped me a lot, and I want to help you too...and when we first meet, you will' The letter comb was given to me, so this 'Dawn Cross' can be considered a gift in return."
Jilan said with a smile.
Tolina saw the young man's smile, and a lot of the darkness in her heart was dispelled. She seemed to be infected and couldn't help but smile.
She closed her five fingers together, clenched the flame, and then slowly pressed her hand on her left chest.
The firelight gradually sank into her chest and disappeared, as if it was hidden in her heart.
The girl in the wheelchair closed her eyes.
While feeling the light and warmth, she raised the corners of her mouth, looking quite satisfied.
In fact, Jilan did not expect that the brand of his kingdom could actually provide lighting and warmth for the girl...
He was happy for Torina.
Perhaps he is happy to be able to help a disabled girl who is in a similar situation and suffers from the same disease, or it is a sense of accomplishment to help the master of the mysterious Black Castle with his own meager efforts.
What's more...
By watching the "Enlightenment Fire" series of movies, he learned the secret history and clearly knew the girl's identity.
Miss Torina Gerald, she is the daughter of Si Chen, "Crane King" and "Ms. Snow"! From the moment it was born, it has been carrying some great mission!
Gillan felt an inexplicable sympathy.
"Miss Torina, you just said... that you feel unwell because the environment has become darker."
He asked:
"Are you referring to...the earthly environment?"
"Yes." Torina did not avoid it this time and nodded lightly. "Yes."
She lowered her eyes and was silent for a few seconds.
“The Dream Sea is a projection of the dark side of the world. The sea water is composed of countless ‘negative emotional water drops’, so when people feel despair, the Dream Sea will become darker..."
Hearing this, Gilan finally understood what the "darkness" in Torina's mouth actually meant.
No wonder the darkness of the Dream Sea will intensify... After all, in reality, the miasma broke out and countless people were infected, so it would be strange if the negative emotions did not increase rapidly!
But just when he figured this out, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Jilan's mind.
Combining the mission of Torina Gerald with her fear of the dark, Gillan can easily connect her with the world.
"Miss Torina..."
Gilan stared at the wheelchair girl in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you carrying some burden for the world? That's why you can't leave Castle Black, and you are burdened by it..."
"Huh?!"
Torina sat up like a frightened rabbit.
She looked directly at the young man, a trace of panic and confusion flashed in her black eyes.
"Sorry... I can't say it."
But Tolina quickly calmed down, turned her head, avoided her eyes, and said softly.
Gilan was thoughtful.
His eyes softened, he shook his head and smiled:
"It's okay. No need to say anything."
"Thank you." Torina breathed a sigh of relief.
She did not want to deceive the young man in front of her, but for some reasons, she could not reveal the truth...
"It has something to do with 'miasma', right?"
Ji Lan suddenly spoke again.
Tolina trembled.
She bit her lip and whispered with a slightly pleading tone:
"Mr. Gillan, please stop asking."
"Oh." Gillan sighed. "Let me tell you a story..."
"Once upon a time, there was a boy who lost his legs because of his parents' neglect. He was disabled for the rest of his life and was alone... The boy had no friends, never felt warmth and care, and only felt that the world was full of darkness."
"He hated the injustice of the world, and cried countless times at night, complaining that his parents did not respect his wishes, so they gave birth to him and allowed him to live such a miserable life."
"Later, when he grew up, he went crazy and died... The suffering did not end, but continued to haunt him, and they continued together in the 'sober' world."
In the tea room, Gillan Speak calmly.
Tolina stared blankly at the blond young man across the table and fell into silence without saying a word.
But her hands under the table were tightly holding on to the empty skirt, and her knuckles turned white.
Even, they were trembling slightly.
Obviously her inner emotions were not calm.
Gillen continued in a gentle tone:
“This boy is me...”
"Whether you believe it or not, this is indeed me. It's the other me I've seen countless times in dreams... If I had a previous life, I must have had such a miserable, crazy and desperate life."
"I woke up from my dream, but I'm still suffering."
Tolina looked at him quietly, her eyes shining with inexplicable complex emotions.
A long while.
She nodded and spoke slowly:
"I believe it. I can feel that sir did not lie to me...Thank you for being willing to tell me this. Now, I can understand why you are keenly aware of my pain."
Tori Na's eyes were lowered and her long eyelashes trembled, looking pitiful.
"Because... sir, you have also had such an experience."
The scene was silent for a while.
Jilan took a deep breath, looked at the silent girl, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice:
"Even if you don't say it, I actually understand... You did not shoulder the so-called mission voluntarily. Everything was just forced on you by 'King Can' and 'Ms. Snow'!"
He actually also Don't know why.
I actually mustered up the courage to say this to the girl.
Perhaps, this is also mixed with a kind of hatred for his parents in his previous life.
“It is really unfair for you to bear the sufferings of this world alone... No matter how great such a mission is, you must be sacrificed. I feel sad for you!”
"?!"
Tolina's whole body trembled as if struck by lightning or an electric switch.
She raised her head and stared at the young man, her mouth slightly open. At the same time, for some reason, tears unexpectedly came out of my eyes and fell down my cheeks.
It was as if, after countless years, someone finally appeared who could empathize with her, understand her, and understand her. "Also...please stop talking."
Torina's tone was concerned and anxious.
"You will die, Mr. Gillan."
"This is the secret history that the two Si Chens jointly sealed. Even if you know it, you must not tell it! Otherwise you will definitely die. ! "
"I...I have been without legs since I was born. This is the necessary price for being the daughter of the 'Crippled King'. I just...just have some regrets."
She said, intending to raise her hand to wipe her tears.
But suddenly he was startled.
Because a slender hand was already one step ahead of her, holding a clean white handkerchief, and gently wiped away her tears.
"I said... If I have the ability, I will definitely take you out of Castle Black to see the outside world."
The young man's voice came.
"Maybe it can make up for your regret a little bit."
"Sir..."
Tolina raised her head and looked at the blond young man in awe.
She didn’t know why, but her heart beat inexplicably faster, like beating a drum.
It is like hundreds of wild horses running wild in the deserted wilderness, breaking the long loneliness and raising noisy dust.
The cold and darkness around her body seemed to disappear in an instant, replaced by a strange warmth that made her cheeks hot.
The girl suddenly had a strong desire to talk and wanted to reveal the secrets she had hidden in her heart for many years.
But at the last moment, her reason told her that if she did this, she would only kill the only friend in front of her.
When the words came to my lips, they turned into a slightly trembling sentence: "Thank you."
…
…
After Torina calmed down a little.
The two of them had a very tacit understanding and did not discuss the sensitive topic just now.
While drinking the "Xia Fei" scented tea made by Miss Tolina herself, Jilan told the other party some recent things that happened in reality.
There are his experiences of going out on a grave digging mission, as well as the major event of the intensification of the miasma concentration, the trivial details of his daily official duties, and some experiences at Christmas.
But no matter what she is talking about, the wheelchair girl Torina is the best listener.
She held her chin in her hands, like a good student who listened carefully in class, extremely engaged and fascinated.
It seems that everything in the outside world from Mr. Gillan's mouth will become extremely fresh and interesting when it reaches her ears.
Although she is quiet, the longing, worry and joy flashing in her eyes do not seem to be fake, and the slight sounds of surprise she makes from time to time express her own emotional fluctuations.
Such a performance also made Gillan's desire to share even stronger.
Tolina's real reaction is like constantly telling Gillan that what he said is interesting and she hopes he will tell more...
He is very useful as a narrator.
Have fun doing it too.
When talking about "Christmas Eve", Gillan's experience of being visited by "Santa Claus" and "Christmas Devil" at the same time, Torina also showed a surprised expression.
But soon, she frowned slightly.
“Krampus actually regarded Mr. as a ‘bad boy’ and even sent him an iron hook as a threat...”
There was a hint of displeasure in Torina's tone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gillan, I will ask Butler Qiao La to go out and try to solve this problem for you."
"Huh?" Gillan couldn't help but be startled.
The butler of Black Castle took action to help him solve his trouble?
“Krampus is the ‘self’ of ‘Windmill Cat’ Pal Solomon, and Pal was the apostle of the original Sichen Omer...”
Jilan said in a deep voice.
Tolina was not surprised. Instead, she nodded calmly and said lightly:
"I know."
"Miss Tolina knows?"
Jilan was very surprised.
Now that she knows the identity of Krampus, Miss Tolina is so confident in sending the Black Castle housekeeper, then...
Who on earth is this Mr. Jorah Chox, who can be so powerful? strength? !
"The apostle title of 'Santa Claus' Germaine Nicholas is actually called 'Morning Day', also known as the 'Wand Angel'. He was one of the four angels under the seat of God Omer in the past. One. ”
Tolina explained to Gillan.
"The true identity of the 'Christmas Devil' Krampus is indeed the 'Windmill Cat' Pal Solomon... Pal's former apostle title was called 'Pole Star', also known as 'Star Coin' Angel'."
"But around the dawn of AD 1000, God mysteriously disappeared, and evil gods were born frequently in the world. At this point, mankind entered the 'Age of Anxiety'... Among the evil gods, the 'Brimstone Lord' was the most powerful."
In mention When "The Brimstone Man" came on, the girl's expression showed something strange, but she quickly hid it.
Immediately afterwards, she continued:
"Pal abandoned himself and fell because of the departure of the Lord. He turned to the command of 'Dong Brimstone' and became his messenger and pope, and he has been Active in the world, executing the 'brimstone will' to spread disaster and chaos."
"Although Pal was once an apostle, his strength is far less than before, not to mention that Krampus is just a body. I'm...even if Butler Jorah is not good at fighting, he is certainly good at dealing with Krampus."
Hearing this, Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
The secret history revealed by Miss Torina really shocked him!
Omer disappeared nine hundred years ago? !
The second of the four archangels under his seat.
The Angel of Wands, Germaine "Morning".
Angel of Pentacles, "Pole Star" Pal.
And Pal fell from an angel to the messenger of the evil god "Windmill Cat", constantly spreading disasters in the world...
And, listening to Miss Tolina's tone, the man in black with wide brim Hat, Mr. Jorah Chox, who is exuding black smoke, is absolutely powerful.
It was as if Krampus, in his eyes, was not the apostle's "self" at all, but a small character worth mentioning...
"Miss Torina, thank you. .”
Ji Lan felt deeply that he had been hugged into his lap and thanked her sincerely.
The wheelchair girl shook her head and smiled slightly.
"By the way, Mr. Gillan. Soon, I may sleep for a while... Well, my body is too tired, there is no way to avoid it."
Tolina suddenly thought of it What, he said.
"So, if you come then, I may not be able to come out to entertain you and treat you to afternoon tea...I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize."
Gilan shook his head and chuckled.
"If you are tired, take a good rest. If you have anything to say, you can tell me during 'tea time'. Although I am not good at listening, I will learn from you."
< br>Miss Torina laughed, hummed, and nodded.
"I just don't want to hide it from you... After all, you are the only friend I have made in all these years."
Hearing this, Jilan was startled.
He drank the last of the tea in the cup, then grinned and said:
"This is my honor."
Tolina put her hands Putting them together, looking at the blond young man, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart:
"This is also my honor, sir."
