When the roar of pain cannot be released, it seems that all the pain is accumulated in the body, even if there is no channel to vent! Xia Ya's whole body was tense, and every muscle in his body was tense!
This pain completely penetrated his body and his mind in an instant! He felt as if he was a cricket he played with as a child, pierced with needles and nailed to the table...
This painful feeling is too clear, so clear that Xiaya is almost going crazy! But he couldn't get rid of it no matter what, couldn't reduce it, couldn't avoid it!
Painful sensations hit his body wave after wave, and Xia Ya's whole body was about to twitch!
At this moment, Merlin's voice sounded like an evil spirit in hell!
"The first thorn of the mind has been completed... Congratulations on completing the first step, there are still twelve thorns of the mind waiting for you to taste... Come on, my little frog."
Hearing this voice, Xia Ya suddenly had a feeling: At this time, even being unconscious has become a luxury wish!
※※※
Just when Xi Ya was being "tortured" by Merlin in the woods, next to the broken house, Adeline looked at the woods with some doubts in her heart.
The look in Xiaya's eyes before leaving with Merlin just now was too pitiful, which was really unusual.
Although Adeline thinks Merlin won't hurt Char... But...
Uh, that's Merlin!
"What are you thinking? My dear."
Aunt Sofia's voice came from behind.
Adeline turned around immediately and looked at Aunt Sofia with a nervous expression.
The smile on Aunt Sofia's face was still so kind and gentle, and even her broken eyes seemed to have a hint of generosity and warmth. But Adeline suddenly recalled the situation where Aunt Sofia and Merlin had a big fight earlier this morning.
More importantly... the content of the conversation between the two of them!
"Why don't you talk? My dear." Aunt Sofia looked at Adeline and frowned suddenly, "You seem to be afraid of me?"
Adeline hesitated, nodded, and then she looked a little helpless: "I'm sorry, Aunt Sofia, those words you said in the morning... I, I have some questions... "
Aunt Sofia narrowed her eyes and looked at Adeline: "You think... Did I see through your origin long ago, so I deliberately brought you by my side, is there any intention, right?"
Adeline was a little embarrassed to speak, and she suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, this aunt Sofia has been taking good care of herself since she met, and it seems that she shouldn't think badly of her.
"I do have an intention." Aunt Sofia suddenly threw such a soft sentence over, making Adeline stunned!
"I... know your mother." Aunt Sofia came over, stretched out her palm, and gently stroked Adeline's head—Adeline was stunned, just staring at Aunt Sofia.
"... Well, to be precise, not just knowing... but very familiar." Aunt Sofia squinted and smiled, smiling very kindly, but under those kind eyes, there seemed to be something else hidden: "To be more precise... I hated your mother very much back then. Um... As for why I hate her, I think, through my conversation with Merlin this morning, you smart kid should be able to guess the reason, right?"
Adeline trembled a little and nodded reluctantly.
"Alas... it's all old. But I hate your mother, but it's true. The reason is very simple... I fell in love with the old pervert. But the old pervert didn't love me, and at that time, I only Can put all the guilt on your mother. Well... that poor woman..."
"Looking at you, it looks like you're not being kept in the dark, hehe... You know your own secrets well, and your mother's secrets, right? Ah... Garin hates you so much, you're so afraid of him , then the answer is obvious. Honey... you, you know, right! You know!"
Adeline's body trembled, but she still nodded.
"Poor child, I won't hurt you... From the first time I saw you, until now, I have never thought of hurting you." Aunt Sofia smiled: "Although... I almost killed you back then. Your mother. Oh, it should be said that it was not almost, I really did it, but I was stopped by the old pervert. For this reason, I completely fell out with him. I left Odin and came to Wildfire has lived in seclusion to this day."
Looking at the trembling Adeline, Aunt Sofia sighed: "... a very cliché and ridiculous tragedy... I fell in love with that old pervert, and that old pervert fell in love with another woman, and that woman, Unfortunately, it's your mother."
Adeline was speechless.
"...Actually, all along, I was wrong. I thought I was the victim, the most miserable one. Or, in this mess of old things, um, I thought I was the most miserable one, Merlin I thought she was the most miserable, the old pervert thought he was the most miserable... And the old alcoholic who was lying in the grave, when he was alive, also thought that he was the most miserable. In fact, after so many years, I thought to myself After countless times, I finally realized that we are not the most miserable, my dear, do you know who is the most miserable?"
"..." Adeline shook her head.
"It's your mother." Aunt Sofia sighed again: "Tragic woman, she is really pitiful."
The smile of this supreme powerhouse is a bit bleak: "She was born into a noble family, and she is admired by the number one powerhouse in the world, as if she should be the happiest woman in the world, but... This is the source of her tragic fate!"
"The most tragic thing about her is that she shouldn't be in love with someone like an old pervert! What's more tragic is that she shouldn't also fall in love with an old pervert! And what's even more tragic is that two people will never be able to truly be together! The old pervert will live forever They are all dazzling, but only this one thing, the woman he loves, can never stand upright with him! Because he is the Emperor Odin! As the Emperor Odin, he cannot marry An alien woman!! He can fight against the world, but not against the blood in his own body! He is from the Hannigan family, so he must obey the Hannigan family traditions and rules, he cannot Marrying your mother... And your mother, falling in love with a man like him, is a great tragedy. Do you know why?"
Adeline: "…"
"Because, she's not 'us'." Aunt Sofia's words seemed very strange, and Adeline was dazed when she heard it.
Aunt Sofia looked Adeline in the eyes: "Your mother is beautiful - oh dear, you inherited her beauty. But beauty is not enough! Your mother is wonderful, wonderful, but she is not' We', I'll make it clearer: she's not the same kind on our level! And by 'we' I mean: old perverts, old drunks, Merlin, me... and those other guys, you understand? "
"... No, strong? Because my mother is not strong?" Adeline asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, it's a ridiculous answer, but there is no doubt about it." Aunt Sofia nodded sternly: "Because your mother is not a strong person! Therefore, she is not from our world! Therefore, this is also the source of her tragedy. Perhaps You can't understand the reason I'm talking about now... Then I tell you, because your mother is not a strong person, she has been unable to understand the relationship between 'us' people.
Speaking of which, maybe you don't believe it, or maybe it's a bit ridiculous... In fact, 'us' people have always had a strong sense of loneliness in this world! When you truly stand on a level that surpasses mortals, when you look around you, there is only your lonely figure, what you understand, others don't understand, and what you understand, no one else understands. At this time, you will feel lonely.
And in this world, there are too few people like 'us', so our relationship has always been complicated... Sometimes we are enemies, some are friends - but even if we are enemies, our relationship has always been very intimate. Even thirty years ago, there was a big melee between us, but what happened? In the end, there was still no case of who was cruel to whom, because everyone understood a truth in their hearts: in this world, our companions are counted, there are only a few, and if you kill one, there will be one less, so, Everyone does not want their companions to decrease. "
"Merlin hates me, and I hate her too, but she won't really kill me, and I won't really try to kill her... Because we're both 'reluctant' for each other to die. And the same is true of old perverts. When I killed your mother, he stopped me and didn't let me succeed. Afterwards, he naturally hated me to death, but... Even with such a strong hatred, he didn't kill me, and even after that, we still Maintain that kind of half enemy half friend relationship.
The reason is simple: we are all of the same kind, companions! We understand each other what each other is thinking, and what we understand, others don't understand, but a few of us understand. It's hard for me to express this clearly to you...
Your mother doesn't understand that in the eyes of an 'ordinary' woman like her, I want to kill her, but the old pervert still maintains a relationship with me, which makes her very sad. "
When Aunt Sofia said this, she suddenly stopped talking. She looked at Adeline and sighed: "Well, I just want to tell you, my dear, I didn't think about harming you... Or to be more precise, Your mother is the victim. She is an ordinary woman, but she is involved in the grudges of our group of monsters. In this circle of grudges, she is the weakest and the least able to protect herself. The one who was hurt the most. Alas... Over the years, I gradually came to understand this truth. So, when I saw you for the first time, I guessed that you were her daughter. Disguised, your eyebrows and eyes are just like what she drew with a mold.
So, I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to take good care of you, protect you, or, from your body, can alleviate some of my regrets about what happened in the past. "
Adeline opened her mouth in surprise.
"Okay, don't be so surprised. You don't have to think too much, I'm still the kind aunt, and you, my dear little guest, ha ha."
Aunt Sofia suddenly hugged Adeline, and whispered in her ear: "I know you must have had a hard time... Because of the blood on your body! Oh, there is such a father, I am afraid that it will bring you It's not a blessing, it's a lot of trouble."
Adeline froze!
This is her biggest secret!
Not many people know this secret! In Byzantium, only her, and Cantos the Great! !
The royal brother who is kind to him doesn't know, Daphne who treats him like a sister doesn't know, his fiancé Xia Ya doesn't know...
However, this Aunt Sofia by her side knows!
"Be strong, my child, don't forget... Your father is the most powerful man in the world! As his daughter, you have the blood of the Hannigan family flowing in your body, you should be born different! Okay, calm down, don't look weak... Oh look, your husband is here."
This last sentence really made Adeline feel more peaceful. She couldn't wait to turn her head and saw Xiaya!
※※※
Xia Ya was walking out of the woods step by step.
He was alone, and Merlin was not by his side.
When Xia Ya came out, he looked a little strange, his expression seemed a little dazed, a little puzzled, a little surprised, and some seemed... worried? !
He walked very slowly, step by step, as if carefully measuring the distance on the ground with his footsteps, he raised one hand in front of his eyes, and looked at his palm carefully, as if there was something on the palm of his hand - in fact it was Empty.
But he just looked at it so carefully, so seriously... It even seemed like he was trying to study something.
Adeline saw the solemn expression on Xia Ya's face, and the original shout was kept in her throat and not uttered.
And Xia Ya didn't come towards her either.
Xiaya walked directly to Garin step by step!
Jia Lin was still squatting there, carefully observing the firewood that Char had just chopped, one by one, and he was completely absorbed in seeing it.
But when Xia Ya came over, Garin immediately noticed it, he suddenly turned around and stood up, staring at Xia Ya.
Even though Char walked very slowly and the pace was very light... Even Galin couldn't feel any fluctuations of power in Char.
Hmm... This guy didn't use Dou Qi, and he didn't look like he was gaining momentum, as if his whole body was relaxed, and he walked towards him so easily.
But when Garin looked at Xiaya who was approaching, he was suddenly angry with a strange feeling that he didn't even understand.
It's as if... the person walking towards me is not a person with a relaxed body, but...
A giant dragon! !
