Being ironed by the eyes of the past and the present at the same time, Arecio had that strange feeling again, he always felt that whether it was a neurosis now or ten thousand years ago, he seemed to have feelings for him.
Arecio: What a narcissistic brain hole!
He strangled this brain hole to death, and the fine rain sounded outside the window, as if helping him to wash his brain hole together. Arecio looked out the window, the rain has been a bit frequent these two days, I, Lucy and Helgodon squeezed to the window together to watch the rain outside.
"It's been raining a lot lately..."
"Will it rain on carnival day?"
"No! Will the open-air show be cancelled like that?"
Seeing that the more they discussed, the more frustrated Arecio became, he had to clear his throat and speak out. After all, he had been following up on the construction of various facilities in the square during this time.
"The forecast is for light rain."
The three piled up in front of the window let out a frustrated sound together.
"But the corresponding measures have been taken." Arecio said, "If it rains, the transparent ceiling will rise, and it will not affect any performances inside."
Only then did the three little ones feel happy again, and once again discussed intimately where to play and what shows to watch that day. In the childcare center, they are familiar with the various new facilities, and can vaguely guess what programs will be on that day.
Arecio looked at their figures, smiled, called a madman, and after a little more work, they would be able to go home.
"When will the event process be announced?" Arecio asked, and the publicity has always been a neuropathy involved.
"Don't worry, in three days, the promotional video will be released at that time." Luzius glanced at him and reminded, "Someone may ask you to shoot in the next two days, and other dark creatures in the headquarters should have it. When I came out, I watched the short script, and it was pretty good."
"Hmm." Arecio responded, he could probably imagine what kind of promotional video.
"I'll spare some time, I've been busy with the few water demons from the branch these past two days." Arecio yawned, "I'll be busy for a while, see you at the door in three hours, get off work go home."
"it is good."
Arecio left, and Ruzius watched his figure completely disappear around the corner from where he was before turning his head slowly. He was not surprised to see the Lich standing far away from him, hesitating, as if he had something to say to him.
In fact, he rarely comes into contact with the children taught by Arecio alone. First, he is not interested. Second, those dark creatures seem to be a little afraid of him, who came from the temple, so he automatically keeps a certain distance from other dark creatures. . Now the lich took the initiative to find him, obviously mustering up his courage, his bone hand tightly clutching the cuff.
"Mr. Ruzius..." the lich stopped him softly, "I have something to say to you."
Luzius glanced around, and occasionally some staff were working, so he moved his footsteps to a relatively quiet corner, opened the shielding magic, and then nodded slightly to the lich.
Lucy was very nervous. She grabbed her cuff and took a few deep breaths before speaking slowly.
"Leviathan said, you are... the person who has seen the River Styx..."
As soon as she said these words, Luzius still looked expressionless, but in fact he had already paid attention to it. Lucy didn't know the change in his heart, she just saw his expression remained motionless and bit her lower lip sadly.
Originally, she wanted to take the initiative to negotiate in her own hands by telling the other party's information. This is the method taught by Arecio, but it seems... she did not succeed. Lucy felt frustrated, but when she thought of what she was going to say, she still fought hard and looked at the saint without dodging or avoiding it.
"He also said that if there is a person who knows the whole truth ten thousand years ago, it must be you."
"I know that your memory has been recovering, and you are also very interested in what happened ten thousand years ago, but this time, I am not asking you to tell the story of the past..."
She gritted her teeth and decided to speak out.
"Can you guarantee? Guarantee... Even if all memories are restored, it won't hurt Alessi?"
After speaking, Lucy relaxed a little, but her nerves were still highly tense. She looked up and found that the saint still couldn't see the expression of joy and anger, except when he heard the name "Alessi", his eyelashes moved slightly, and the rest of the time, he was so calm that Lucy was frustrated.
Ruzius quietly watched the increasingly uneasy lich for a while, then spoke slowly, just about to say something. The lich with its head bowed in front of him suddenly became a switch in his memory. Many scenes and characters flashed back in front of him, suddenly it was the soul butterfly in the sea of dead, and then it was the old lich who bowed his head slightly like now. These pictures were mottled and flashed, and the last thing that appeared in his mind was a long river.
Styx.
He stood by the river Styx, the goddess stood on the river, and there was a sadness on his face that he had lost two children.
[People who have seen the Styx, I hear the seeds of doubt are sprouting in your heart.]
[You no longer believe that what is good is good, and what is bright is bright, you doubt and will seek.]
[When you really see the world clearly, go to the city where my only remaining child lives. He will help you, and you will help him.]
These old scenes gradually disappeared, and Ruzius took a deep breath and looked at the lich in front of him.
Lich is really suitable as a guide. The one who led him to discover the truth ten thousand years ago is the one who brings back his past memories now. He remembered a lot of things again, and he felt that he was gradually approaching the end.
The end of the... end that has all the truth of 10,000 years ago.
"Mr. Ruzius?" He didn't respond for a long time, and the lich couldn't help but ask suspiciously, so the lich in front of him didn't learn the essence of Arecio's negotiating skills, and her emotions were too exposed. , the heart is too soft, but fortunately, Ruzius does not intend to regard these children under Arecio's wings as enemies.
"The devotion to the temple, destroyed in the last era of fire rain, and... Aresi." He whispered something that seemed to have nothing to do with the lich's question, and in the lich's bewildered eyes, He went on.
"These three things are my treasures."
"The first collapsed, the second destroyed, and only Alessi remained."
The lich gradually understood what he meant. She looked at the saint's sky-colored eyes and felt that the other party's heavily concealed emotions might be solemn.
"So you mean... Aresi is your treasure, and you promise not to hurt him, do you?"
"I won't make any promises or promises with anyone other than Aresi, and naturally I won't promise you."
Although he said that, Lucy was completely relieved. Aresi is the only treasure left. The implication is that this resurrected saint will never hurt Aresi.
"Then, I don't have any other requests." She smiled, "I'm sorry for delaying your work, I'll just..."
Rutius spoke suddenly.
"Negotiation skills, you can see how Aresi does it. Being too considerate to others will not get what you want."
Lucy was stunned for a moment, then a little embarrassed. Her performance in the conversation just now was really not very good. Her original intention was to take the initiative and be as handsome and sassy as Arecio.
Rutius only mentioned this sentence, indicating that there was nothing else. Seeing the lich running away happily, Ruzius knew that if he had revealed any unfavorable intentions to Arecio just now, this young lich girl would definitely spare no effort, even if she was die, and protect Arecio from his hands.
These children raised by Arecio are very good, and they are much stronger than the neuropathy that the temple has cultivated.
He glanced at the corner of the clothes exposed at the corner, and the other side retracted with a "swoosh", pretending not to be found at all.
"… "
Needless to say, it's me.
I greeted Lucy who came back from Xiaoran, and judging the result from the other party's expression, I was immediately a little happy. Lucy had told him before that she wanted a guarantee from Mr. Ruzius for Aresi, and now it seems to be a success.
"Lucy is great." I praised in a low voice, my eyes curled up, "Give me a little courage too."
Lucy was so serious, she turned her hands on my head.
Courage to you!
"Are you still having that dream? Do you want to tell Aresi?" Lucy asked worriedly, and I smiled and shook my head at her.
"It's just to make Alessi worry, I still have to overcome it myself. Lucy can help me a lot by giving me courage."
I said it very lightly, but on the way back to the room by myself, he kept his eyes down all the way.
He didn't like that dream, the bird bound by silk threads in the dream, he always felt that it was himself, and he wanted to rely on his own strength and courage to break free.
Just like Aresi.
*****
The cued Arecio sneezed a few times. He is now in the large room where the water monsters are placed. Except for a circle around the edge, it is filled with pools. Zelita from the headquarter of the nursery center is with a few others. The water monsters from the branch play together.
The laughter of the girls was like a silver bell. It was originally a pleasing picture, but it was all corrupted by the person in charge from the southeastern branch.
Arecio couldn't take it any longer, interrupting the chattering director who wanted to stuff his own branch's dark creatures into the promo.
"impossible."
"Wh... Haha, I know you have concerns, but looking at the dark creatures we raise, they are lively and healthy, and a few shots can be given."
Arecio definitely doesn't want to give footage of the dark creatures from the branch. This is not discrimination, but the dark creatures from the branch still maintain their original weak appearance, need to be taken care of, and cry at every turn. On the other hand, Zelita, who still has shadow roses on her body and is not fully cured from actinic disease, can easily play with her tail pumping a water top, and the branch water monsters can only watch with fear.
This is not in line with Arecio's idea. In addition to being a festival to revive the previous era, the carnival also carries the role of publicizing the dark creatures who have gradually returned to their former appearance. The dark creatures that appeared in the promotional video should show their unique beauty of cold and treacherous beauty, unless the branch is willing to throw them to him for a few days for education, but Arecio has been too busy recently. The road was blocked from the beginning.
But the person in charge was really annoying, so he just stabbed him out and told him to shut up.
Arecio made up his mind, and a faint mocking smile appeared on his face.
This is a negotiation skill that Lucy has not learned. Lucy is too good, and always speaks gently and softly to people, but Arecio is different. He has rich experience in mocking, and can kill people and scare them to death at the same time.
"I'll say it again, it's impossible." He used his last remaining patience to do the last repetition. The face of the head of the branch became unsightly. From the bottom of his heart, he still didn't think that dark creatures could be in charge. He kept begging Arecio before, but in fact he had already scolded him in his heart.
"You're scolding me in your heart, don't you?" Arecio smiled, "I advise you to be funny, this is not an activity that you can take advantage of, otherwise you will spit out all the advantages you have taken before."
After speaking for two years, the face of the head of the branch changed, and the cold sweat suddenly flowed down. What Arecio said was the time he received for the benefit of others by building facilities for dark creatures. He didn't know how Arecio knew, but he dared not continue to pester him.
Arecio listened to him with a haha to bypass the matter, and then said goodbye gloomily. There is always such a situation, and it cannot be completely eliminated. Crawvinson also told him the same when he gave him relevant information. Arecio has long understood this truth, so if the person in charge does not bother him, he will also You can't directly press the opponent to death.
The annoying guy finally left, and Arecio hurriedly squatted down and took out his ring.
"Zelita, help me see how it should be sticky here."
Carnival day must be playing around, not necessarily time, so he plans to give gifts to the lunatic on the Day of Resurrection.
At the same time, Ruzius, who was busy with painting, finished the final stroke of this large-scale exhibition painting, and naturally a robot took over the copying work. He stepped back a little and watched the robot work silently.
His hand was on the mouth of his heart, where was the silver cross to be given to Arecio.
He planned to give it away on the day of the carnival.
