Chapter 673 (1/2)
Yesterday's changes have not only changed the mermaid song, but also the whole Pelican town has not recovered from this shock.
Arrow took the crisp tower and cocoa to Swan Castle. Along the way, the smiling townspeople are now whispering and talking. Smiles are like things that have completely disappeared and no longer appear on people's faces. Maybe it's because of the accident yesterday. Even the flower goblins no longer appear in the town.
Everyone looked at the north with worry and prayed that the God of light would not abandon himself.
Leave Pelican town for swan castle. After knocking on the gate of the castle, the servant led the three people of mermaid song to the top of the castle.
It was still the familiar reception hall, but this time, the Viscount Ruichi sat in it with a worried face as if he had been ready long ago.
”Ah, President arrow! Great, I was thinking you would come in these two days. I didn't expect you to come the next day! ”
Viscount Ritchie did not look well, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.
Arrow sat down opposite the Viscount, looked at the haggard face of the fat man and said, ”Viscount Ritchie, you look in bad spirits.”
”Bad? More than bad! I have a terrible headache now! President arrow, to be honest with me, did the big commotion last night have something to do with the guy Capone?! What about him? Where has he gone now? ”
”He's dead.”
Arrow gave this answer faintly.
When Viscount Ritchie had not recovered for a moment, he continued——
”In other words, it is no different from death. He dedicated his body and soul to some... Possibly very terrible existence. I don't know how much willpower he has left, nor whether his body has been digested. But there is no doubt that he will no longer appear in front of us in the way we are familiar with. ”
Viscount Ruichi smacked his mouth. After a moment of silence, he gently shook his head and said with a little anger: ”I knew... I knew that guy would go to destruction sooner or later... He was too focused since childhood! Once you identify something, you become very persistent... Damn it, he's dead... What about the child tiramisu? ”
Arrow didn't answer directly. The crisp tower and coco behind turned their eyes and showed a little sad expression.
Seeing the mermaid song showing such emotion, viscount Ruichi naturally knew the answer. He was obviously breathing on his face, but he didn't know how to vent for a while. After a long time, the Viscount collapsed on the sofa like a mass of rotten meat, looked up at the ceiling and didn't know what to say.
However, arrow doesn't have so much time to allow sadness. After waiting for almost a minute, he said again, ”Viscount Ruichi, did the two teachers and disciples give you any explanation before leaving you?”
Viscount Ritchie was still half open, like a goldfish spitting bubbles. After a while, he came back, nodded slightly and said, ”explain? Um... Did you explain? Wait... Ah, I remember, it seems! ”
Ello exhaled and said, ”what's that? Did he say what to do next? ”
Viscount Ritchie sat up from the sofa and said, ”yes! Although it's not a specific instruction, he did tell me that if one day he suddenly disappeared and the child tiramisu came to him, let me open his room and let the child go in and find something by himself. ”
Without delay, ello immediately asked to observe the swordsman's room. Ruichi was already in a state of unconsciousness. He nodded and asked the servant to bring MAS Capone's room key. The party hurried to their destination.
Open the door. It's a very simple looking guest room.
Unlike other rooms with beautifully decorated wooden panels, this room is all made of stone walls, giving a very depressing ascetic feeling. Asked Ruichi, the Viscount said it was Capone's initiative.
The decoration of the room is very simple, that is, a bed, a table, and stacks of books like hills stacked next to the table.
Compared with the clean and tidy bed, the table looks very messy. It is full of all kinds of manuscript paper, but I don't know what I'm writing.
Viscount Ritchie looked around for a moment and asked, ”President ello, do you think Capone will dig a hole for me? He just injured the people of the Royal magician association not long ago. The two magicians went back and mobilized people to come here. Is it almost coming? Does he really leave such a mess for me to clean up? ”
Ailuo was not in the mood to pay attention to the Viscount's concerns. He searched every corner of the room with suuta and cocoa. After searching for almost ten minutes, cocoa bent down under the bed and lifted the sheets, she immediately shouted——
”Brother president! here! Here, here! ”
Ello quickly put down his book ”rough theory on the study of ancient gods” and rushed to the bedside. I saw cocoa get under the bed. After a long delay, she climbed out of it with a slightly heavy package in her arms, patted the ash on it, and raised it with a smile.
”That should be it.”
Coco put the package on the next table and opened it. The first thing that comes into sight is a letter painted with fire paint. Take up the letter. Below is a list of all kinds of real estate and funds. At the bottom is a carefully decorated manuscript. After a rough look, ello feels that he doesn't understand much, so he just closes it and doesn't read it.
”This is the lacquer seal of the Capone family!” Viscount Ritchie pointed to the lacquer on the envelope and exclaimed, ”but how has this letter been opened?”
Arrow picked up the envelope and looked at it again and again. Indeed, the paint mark has been torn open now. But the letter paper inside was still intact. After thinking about it, he took out the letter.
”To my dearest student, tiramisu. It seems that this is Capone's letter to tiramisu. ”
Arrow muttered and then continued to look——
”When you see this letter, I guess I have already returned to the arms of the God of light. However, please don't have any sadness because of my death. I don't want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case, I will fall into sadness. ”
After reading the first sentence, arrow frowned slightly, put down the letter paper again, looked at the letter that had been opened, then turned his head with doubt and looked at the Viscount Ruichi next to him.
Viscount Ruichi waved his hand and said nervously, ”no, no, don't look at me! I didn't dismantle it! Asshole, some servant must have opened this letter with cheap hands. I'll clean them up later! ”
Cocoa on one side also tiptoed to look at the letter paper, and then said to Viscount Ruichi on the other side, ”you should check it carefully. Some places on this letter have spent ink. Did you get water when you cleaned it?”
Ailuo sighed and could only put it aside first and read the letter completely
————
To my dearest student, tiramisu:
When you see this letter, I must have returned to the arms of the God of light. However, please don't have any sadness because of my death. I don't want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case, I will fall into sadness.
Don't feel sad because of my death, and don't blame anyone for my death. Because this is my willing choice. Don't blame yourself. Although you usually seem very indifferent, my master knows that you are a child with more delicate emotions than anyone.
After my death, all my property will belong to you. I made a list of all my possessions, which were placed everywhere in the blue bay Empire, and some people were helping me manage them. From now on, you will be the owner of these properties. I can't give you a stable and peaceful life in the first half of your life, but I hope you can live a happy life after my death.
Ah, what else do I want to say to you? I always feel that there are too many things to say, but in fact I can't figure out a clue.
Let me see. Let me recall ten years ago.
Ten years ago, I rescued you from the mass grave.
At that time, you seemed very afraid, wronged and crying. All your family and friends are dead
Yes, it was killed by robbers. This secret has been hidden in my heart for a long time, but now, I can finally tell you the truth——
The robbers who ruined your family... In fact, it's me.
Now I don't want to tell the reason why I killed your family. I didn't even have so much compassion at that time. I am following the orders of the church and the will of the God of light, but none of this will change my crimes against you and your family.
So, when I pulled you out of the mass grave and looked at the blood on your face, in fact... How scared I was at that time.
When I saw you crying in front of me and saw that you, a child who should have a better life, were so weak because of my fault, I felt that a place in my heart was finally touched.
Tiramisu, I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
In the past ten years, a hypocrite like me has asked you to call me the ”master” who has killed the enemy for ten years. In fact, I have no qualification to ask you for forgiveness.
Since then, I have made up my mind to take good care of you. Even if I exhaust my own life, I want you to live easily and happily, without sorrow and worry all your life.
I really think so... I once thought I could fight for you for this idea all my life.
