Albert said, looking at Aiwass' collar.
The love token Isabel gave to Aiwass hung there, which could withstand the tears of Isolde, who was fatally wounded.
“It’s called Isolde’s Tears, and it’s the necklace that Ini left for me. She told me that it was something her mother left for her. And her mother eventually died of ashes. , this necklace did not save her; if Ini had been wearing this necklace when she was attacked, she might not have died; but after we got married, she gave it to me.
< p>"It's ironic. A consumable necklace that could save you from death once, but it sent away several owners one after another, and ultimately failed to protect anything. Not even a chance to be consumed."I feel that I am not worthy of using it. At least compared to its previous owners, my life is not worthy of consuming this precious opportunity to avoid death."
Albert stared at the necklace on Aiwass's chest and whispered, "So before I left, I gave it to Isabel. Therefore, I recognized your identity the first time I saw you." "
"What do you think of me now?"
Aiwass raised the empty glass and clinked it with Albert "Father"
Among Aiwass's "digital fathers", Albert is undoubtedly the closest to an "ordinary person".
"You left me speechless."
Albert was silent for a long time, and then replied seriously, "But it's not a bad feeling."
< p>"Naturally."Aiwass chuckled, turning the wine glass between his fingers, "Because you have been waiting for someone to scold you like this, father."
< p>"Be good to Isabel."Prince Albert said almost powerlessly, "I will go back on little Isabel's birthday. I will go back no matter what."
< p>"There is no need for you to say this. There is no need for you to guarantee it to me. No matter what Isabel plans to do, I respect her opinion."No matter what danger she encounters , I will also stand with her and protect her. In fact, I just saved her from a fifth-level demon incarnation not long ago. And now, you don't need to worry about her being surrounded by groups of papal guards.
"That timid child has grown up by her own strong will and with the help of our friends. She is now Her Majesty the Queen of Avalon.
"As for His Royal Highness Prince Albert, his poor Prince Albert died in a battle between bandits a long time ago. "
Aiwass slowly put down the wine glass and stretched out a finger to press against the wall of the glass.
He turned his finger gently, and the air trembled and buzzed.
p>
The two people's positions were completely reversed from when they first entered the door.
Aiwass announced that the conversation was over, "Now, I want to talk to Mr. Yunus about Ah. About Miss Nastasya. ”
"Oh, oh"
In just an instant, Prince Albert, with his head lowered and depressed, turned back into Yunus at some point.
He clapped his hands happily, and then patted his belly like a happy seal, "What a good show, it made me so happy to see that man with a tough mouth finally speechless, It’s as strange as the falling star”
There was no trace of disappointment on the face of this fat bald man.
It was as if he and Prince Albert were two completely different people.
He even commented sharply from the perspective of a bystander, "That man never faces problems head-on. Only your identity makes it impossible for him to escape because you have indeed replaced his responsibilities, no matter how noble you are." Minister, Prince Moriarty"
This conversation gave Aiwass a strange feeling.
He suddenly thought of the god of wine and the host of the banquet.
Aiwass suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and said warmly, "Let's not mention that for now, let's talk about Anastasia. You really saw her from Avalon"
< p>"I did see her, and I even touched her hand. Although her skin was a little warm and cool, it still had the temperature of a living creature. I thought it might be the cool night breeze of Avalon."Yunus fiddled with the strings twice and his expression became serious, "I got her headband. According to Mr. Maxim, it was a gift from her friend when he came to visit."
Is it tree disease?
"Since it is a gift," Aiwass thought, "that means there is still a copy in the Theocracy"
"Those things have been lost long ago This is what Mr. Maxim said, and I have a different view."
Yunus said seriously, his cheerful and jumping tone suddenly became more serious, "This is my first time too. I came to the land of elves, but it has been several months since I came here. Many elves do not think that tree transformation is a disease, but closer to an honor, because that means that tree transformation will inevitably take a more noble attitude. Ordinary elves who are reborn from the dream world may not be recognized by the Tiansi and the Pillar Gods."
Aiwass nodded.
Indeed, the ability of elves to transform into trees is equivalent to sending phantoms away. Although it means the premature death of the body in the material world, if the material world is only regarded as the "novice period" and "screening period" of the dream world, then tree transformation can almost be said to be equivalent to "premature graduation in life."
Especially for the elves who revere the giant tree, ascending as a derivative of the giant tree can be an honor.
"After the elf has completely transformed into a tree, relatives and friends will burn the items they cherished during their lifetime and pile them in front of the tree they transformed into, and burn both of them with a fire"
"Burn"
Aiwass was a little surprised "Why"
"Because it is meaningless."
Yunus replied immediately "Unlike Ningpa, the elves in Ningpa are not completely dead., their souls are still locked within their bodies. In theory, recovery is even possible.
“But becoming a tree means the decay of the body and the sublimation of the soul. Even if it comes to the material world again, it is impossible to return to the original body. It is just a tree, just like the giant tree of the past Some people may want to leave bark or branches as souvenirs, just like the Star Antimony people like to refine corpses into gems or make undead spirits.
“The elves believe in light and fire. The tree body turning into flames is a blessing to them, just as elves do not like burial but prefer cremation. According to what I heard, many elves believe that the soul will be purified and will rise higher if its bonds are burned away. "
"No, no, no, actually that is superstition. In fact, this is a story told by the old elves to children. "
Aiwass shook his head and refuted the rumor, "As long as you are a priest, you must know that whether the body is burned or not, buried or cremated. As long as the corpse has a normal funeral, its soul will definitely be sent to the river of dreams. The corpse left in the material world has no meaning at all. It is just a piece of meat placed on Miss Anastasia, that is, a pile of wood.
“The main reason why elves perform cremation is actually because giant trees lack the space required for burial, and giant trees do not need fertilization.”
“No matter what, it’s fine, Aihua Mr. Si, what I mean is that the hair tie should have been burned.
"But I saw Anastasia who looked like a girl and got the hair tie from her. Even Mr. Maxim definitely believed that this was Anastasia's thing. Because of this, he couldn't explain why he changed his story and said these things were lost. Just like the tree that Anastasia turned into, it should have been burned. After all, I have been here for so many days and I have never seen the tree that Anastasia transformed into. "
Yunus said seriously, "But his attitude is wrong.
"My daughter turned into a tree and died. No matter if he was happy for her, sad, or lonely, he should not have such an attitude."
"He was enthusiastic and allowed me to write to Mr. Sherlock. He did not drive me away, but allowed us to investigate here, and also took care of our accommodation and food during this period. But when I asked, he said nothing and did not deny that the girl I saw was Ana. Stasia, but was sure that Anastasia had turned into a tree and died. "
In Yunus's voice, the original rhythm and humor could no longer be heard.
Aiwass tasted a hint of weakness and unwillingness in his voice.
At that moment, Aiwass suddenly understood why he was so persistent about this matter and why in the original history, he went back to Isabel to apologize and admit his mistake. < /p>
He saw something of himself in Mr. Maxim.silk shadow. He didn't know what Maxim was doing, but he just felt something was wrong.
He keenly sensed something was wrong, and this keenness came from his guilt for Isabel.
"Yunus" realized that if he continued to pursue it like this, it would be equivalent to torturing his past self. Every question he raised to the civil mage would turn into a boomerang and hit him in the face.
But he couldn't escape from here. This incident was like a black hole, attracting him here.
From another perspective, he longs for self-destruction. Prince Albert instinctively realized that this incident might be his guillotine.
"Can I see that hair tie?"
Aiwass thought for a moment and asked.
Yunus nodded and took out a red cloth bag from his arms. He carefully took out the hair tie and handed it to Aiwass.
After acquiring it, nothing popped up in front of Aiwass’ eyes to indicate that it was at least not an extraordinary item. Just a regular hair tie.
"What did Sherlock say?"
Aiwass asked again.
"He seemed to understand something from the beginning, but he didn't tell me anything."
Yunus was a little angry, "He just said that maybe that's why , You can only see ghosts, etc., but he didn’t explain it. When I pressed, he said that I would try to catch ghosts at night.
“I don’t know what he did last night. , but he said he didn’t plan to say anything until you arrived. He said there are some things that are safe as long as they are not spoken. ”
“Like Sherlock’s style. ”
Aiwass nodded happily.
That fool finally knew that he had to wait for his teammates to be in place before launching monsters
In the original history, Yunus A mess of operations finally solidified the truth of the matter into "the girl manifested a spirit body because of longing", this kind of romantic but unreasonable story with an anticlimactic end.
"There is no doubt that you have seen it. That Anastasia couldn't be a ghost. "
Aiwass replied with absolute certainty, "It is impossible for a ghost to hand over his belongings to you. And if it is a cursed item, it is even less likely that you can keep it intact for so long.
"So what you see must be a living person."
"Living person"
"Or, it is a real illusion that you are extremely familiar with. "
Aiwass said calmly, "Have you noticed that since you changed back to your original self, there are less noisy things in this room?"
Yunu Si looked at Aiwass with some confusion.
He quickly opened his eyes and recalled
"That goblin lady"
Aiwass nodded.
