Chapter 455 Gift
“Fuck the mission!”
Barbara cursed unceremoniously.
"You are different from me, Torina... Your law was not formed voluntarily, and all the pain was just imposed on you. Why should you lie to yourself?"
"But at the very least, I voluntarily suffered for Mr. Guilan.”
Torina smiled slightly.
Barbara heard her subtext and felt a hint of helplessness and pain.
At this time, Torina said quietly:
"Even if I don't volunteer, so what? The Virgin should be like the Virgin. If I refuse, I won't suffer. Is it? ”
“From the moment ‘Law of Darkness’ was born, my fate was determined. ”
"I will never grow old or die. I will always stay in the darkness and silence, silently enduring endless suffering for the world."
As she said that, Torina looked at the night sky.
“Omer was born in response to a wish, crawled out from the belly of the God of Love, and held up a torch for the world... As for me, I was also born in response to a wish, but I was taken from Omer. I pulled it out of your body and was forced to light it on fire."
"In this endless void, only Mr. Gillan can feel my pain, and only he once said he would bring me pain. I went out to see the sun outside."
"Yes, he is very weak."
"Perhaps it is only this kind of weakness and ignorance that makes him make such arrogant and unrealistic promises."
Tolina smiled, and her clear eyes fell on her friend Barbara. .
“But I believe him.”
“You are really hopeless, Torina.”
Barbara said solemnly.
She felt inexplicably sad.
Because missions and ascension methods are similar, the two have the best relationship in the Twelve Stars.
Seeing the changes in her friend, Barbara actually felt uneasy. And this change originated from the young man named Jilan.
This can't help but make Barbara even more annoyed.
"Since you have asked for mercy for him, I will not take action."
She said expressionlessly.
"But that's it, Torina. If he hadn't tried his best to protect Lilia and wiped out a ray of Pal's will, I would never have let him go so easily..."
After saying that, Barbara stood up, turned around and left.
A beam of light fell from the sky, and the woman with short red hair stepped into the light. Finally, Barbara's voice came again:
"One last thing to remind you, although Pal is hiding because of my injury, the 'Eclipse Society' has been moving frequently recently, mostly to enable him to recover as soon as possible. Restore…”
"Only by getting rid of this organization as soon as possible can we have more time to find Parr's hiding place."
As the beam of light gradually dissipated, Barbara's voice disappeared and her figure disappeared.
Tolina looked at the direction her friend was leaving and was silent for a while, seemingly not caring much about the last words.
Soon, he smiled and murmured:
"You don't actually hate Gilan that much, right? Otherwise, how could you let a ray of your law fall into his hands? Where is it? ”
The garden fell into dead silence again.
A long while.
Father Jiao Yi walked over slowly, stopped behind the girl in the wheelchair, bent down and whispered:
"Miss, Gilan Iros is here and has just arrived at the gate of Castle Black. ”
Tolina raised her pretty eyebrows, her eyes showing surprise.
…
…
Not long.
The girl in the wheelchair was pushed by the housekeeper and waited quietly on the platform at the top of the steps.
A young man with purple eyes walked slowly, carrying a cane.
Seeing the two of them, the other party was startled at first, then took off his hat and saluted.
"Long time no see, Miss Torina."
"Long time no see..."
The wheelchair girl put her hands gently on the skirt of her thighs, her black hair was like a waterfall. , looking at the young man with a smile.
“Welcome, Mr. Gillan.”
When the young man approached, Torina found that he was carrying a large paper bag with bulging contents.
She couldn't help but be curious, so she asked:
"What is this?"
"I promised you before that I would bring some delicious food... Besides, there are some interesting gadgets.”
Gilan raised the paper bag and smiled politely.
"So you still remember."
Tolina narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Of course." Gillan shrugged. "I will never forget the promises I made."
"I'm looking forward to it, sir."
The girl covered her mouth and smiled.
Immediately afterwards, Gillan was led to the garden inside. He was a little surprised when he saw the steaming teapot on the table.
"Miss Tolina knows that I will come today?"
"Miss will wait here every day..."
Father Jiao Yi, who was pushing the wheelchair, said solemnly.
But before he finished speaking, he noticed that the girl turned her head and glanced at him with calm eyes.
Jorah felt a chill in his heart and immediately shut up.
"I water flowers and make tea here every day... Just in time, I recently researched a new flower tea. I hope sir will like it."
Tolina motioned to Jorah to push her away Come to the table.
Soon after Jilan took his seat, the girl had quickly made a new pot of tea and poured a cup for both of them.
“It’s called ‘Longing’, please.”
"Thank you."
Jilan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
A taste that is much more bitter than black coffee suddenly fills your mouth.
He raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him. There was a smile on the other person's pale face, and his black eyes flickered slightly, as if expecting.
At this moment, for some reason, Gillan felt a strong bitterness that was extremely sour.
"It's bitter and sour."
"It's like waiting, right?"
Tolina smiled.
"Endless darkness, endless waiting."
"No..." Gilan shook his head.
He felt the aftertaste in his throat, but tasted a hint of magical fragrance and sweetness.
"It's more like expectation, hoping for a ray of light to appear in the darkness, full of hope."
Hearing this, Torina laughed.
She knows that only the person in front of her knows how to taste her tea.
"Then do you like it?"
"Can you tell the truth?" Gillan asked with a smile. After seeing Torina nodding, he apologized: "Compared with this cup of 'Longing', I prefer the previous 'Yelan' and 'Crimson'."
Torina was startled.
The purple-eyed young man smiled again and said:
"It is too bitter. If possible, I would like to add a little sugar to it."
Torina felt her heartbeat speed up a little.
"Yes, sir." She lowered her eyes and whispered.
Gilan opened the paper bag he brought and took out a box of mints.
Immediately, he opened two of them and put them into his and Torina's teacups respectively.
"Try again?" Jilan signaled.
Torina picked up the tea cup with great interest and took a small sip.
Then, smile.
"I like this special taste."
"And these..."
Gilan said, taking out another small paper from the paper bag boxes and thoughtfully open them all.
These cartons have cartoon characters of "Hank's Mom's Specialty" printed on them, which is quite cute.
“Snowflake cake, grilled bacon, fried meatballs, sausage burgers, figure-shaped buns and liver cheese... These are some snacks of Muse City, the capital of the empire. I have tasted them once before and thought they were good, thank you Miss Lina, do you want to try?”
“Of course”
Tolina readily agreed.
Priest Jiao Yi behind her saw this and was about to give a warning, but suddenly saw the young lady turning her head and saying with a smile:
"Mr. Jorah, I seem to have forgotten to close the tea room window."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."
The Black Castle steward took a deep breath and stroked his chest.
Immediately turned around and left silently.
When there were only two people left in the quiet garden, Torina tasted the snacks brought by the young man with great expectation.
She first scooped a spoonful of snowflake cake into her little mouth with a silver spoon, and then looked surprised.
"It's so sweet and delicious..."
Then, Torina tasted the rest of the food one by one. She praised the snacks with different textures and flavors.
Jilan watched and sighed secretly.
Street snacks like this can be seen everywhere in the empire, but the girl in wheelchair in front of her has never eaten them.
To her, they were all surprises.
"Thank you, Mr. Gillan."
Torina wiped the corners of her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and whispered.
Gilan shook his head.
He took out some sundries from the paper bag.
"These are Prudential cards, imperial chess, hand-held cameras, Wanhua mirrors, phonograph dolls..."
"Are these toys that Bremen people like?"
Torina carefully picked up the sundries on the table, looked at them one by one, and asked curiously.
“Well, you can say that.”
Gilan smiled.
He explained to Torina how to play these gadgets again, and the smile on the girl's face never stopped.
In the garden, you can still hear her clear laughter from time to time.
“Hello.”
Tolina held a gray rabbit plush doll, followed Gillan’s instructions, pressed its left paw, and said tentatively.
Then, turn your head and press your right paw.
"Hello." The plush doll vibrated and made a sound similar to Torina's.
“It turns out that the world is so interesting...”
Tolina held the doll in her hands as if she loved it.
Like a curious baby who has never seen the world, she picked up a few postcards on the table.
"Is this?"
"Oh, this is a postcard hand-drawn by a friend of mine when he was traveling. The scenery on it originated from the western countries. For example, this one is the windmill garden, and this one is the Cronos Sea of Flowers..."
Jilan explained casually.
The girl in the wheelchair nodded silently. She looked at the hand-painted scenery on the postcard and whispered:
"The painting is really good... I wonder how beautiful the real scenery will be."< br>
She raised her head and asked curiously:
"Is Mr. Gillan's friend also a gentleman like you?"
"No." Gillan shook his head. "It's a noble lady named Flamel Nicola."
"Oh..."
Tolina nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
For some reason, her original interest faded a bit, so she put down the postcard in her hand.
"By the way, when I came to visit this time, I brought a gift to Miss Torina."
Gilan smiled.
“A gift?” The girl in the wheelchair was puzzled. "Aren't these the ones?"
"Real gifts."
Gilan said, taking out a piece of negative film about three centimeters long and two centimeters wide.
Put it gently on the table.
Tolina looked at the film and was stunned.
"The power of law of the 'Windmill Cat'!"
She raised her head sharply and looked at the purple-eyed young man in disbelief, and her heartbeat accelerated again.
