Chapter 230 (2/2)
Elia hugged Donne: ”big brother, I don't want to learn magic! I don't want to hurt you!”
In case of danger, the first thing is not to face the problem, but to escape. Isn't that true for children?
Donne was relieved to see Elia like this.
If Elia said directly that she would use magic carefully in the future, Donne would be afraid.
”Elia, escape is never the solution.”
Donne patted her on the back and whispered, ”look at the big brother. After mastering the power of magic, he will become my friend and help me do a lot of things to protect the people around me without hurting them.”
”You have unparalleled talent, Elia. You are a born magician. Escaping will only make it more and more difficult for you to master this power. You need to face it, learn it and master it.”
Donne looked into her eyes. ”Are you afraid that your strength will hurt the people you care about? Then master it and let it serve you. That's what you should do in the future.”
Elia was nervous: ”can I really do it?”
”Yes, of course you can.”
”I can, big brother said I can, I can!”
Donne's encouragement gave Elia endless courage. There was a light in her eyes again, and the whole person recovered her vitality.
”Well, this is my favorite Elia.”
Donne breathed a sigh of relief.
Elia said happily, ”does big brother like Elia?”
”Of course.”
”When Elia grows up, will she be the bride of her big brother?”
“——”
It's a child's joke. Why should I be so excited, asshole!
I'm really not controlled by Laurie!
Dear egwin, where are you!?
If you don't show up, I'll become a pervert!
Donne smiled awkwardly: ”wait until you grow up, darling. Now go home and get some sleep. When you get up, nothing will happen.”
”Well, goodbye, big brother!”
After all, Elia was still a child, so she didn't think much. She waved at Donne and turned around and bounced home.
After passing by the pieced up corpse, Elia glanced curiously, and a trace of disdain flashed in the depths of her deep eyes - she didn't even find it herself.
After Elia left, Donne pondered for a moment. Instead of burning the body, he collected the body.
Not long after Donne returned to his study, Fiona hurried back.
”I found it.”
”Amazing efficiency!”
Donne whistled, ”so what's the name of the dead?”
”Durandon.”
”What?”
Donne was stunned. ”Are you teasing me?”
”It's just a duplicate name,” Fiona glared at Donne discontentedly. ”Brian registered it. Nokia was also there at that time. They were screening the labor force. They made a joke after hearing the name. They were very impressed.”
”And then?”
”There were fourteen people in the same carriage. The carriage started from Bain, and the coachman was old hank, an acquaintance who often went back and forth between Ellington and Bain.”
After a pause, Fiona continued: ”there are two civilian couples in the carriage, two children, two vagrants in Bain City, and six civilians who get on the bus successively - according to the two couples, the accents of the six people are obviously not near Bain, and they all have obvious nasal sounds, more like the accent of alinks.”
”According to the testimony of the tramp, the six people like silence very much. They don't talk much in the carriage for a few days. Although they don't seem to know each other, they occasionally have eye contact. This news is trustworthy - the tramp is very sensitive to the eyes of others.”
”Then, on the basis of this testimony, I secretly investigated the six men and found that one of them was missing. This is called Du Landeng. Of course, this is probably a pseudonym.”
”From Alex? Well, things seem to be getting interesting.”
Donne couldn't help laughing.
Fiona rolled her eyes: ”although the other five people were not missing, when I went to them, they didn't eat in the restaurant, but wandered around the town, but their answers were impeccable. They were forced by life to make a living in Ellington.”
”Really?”
”Well, the other thing is that the clothes and fabrics of these five people are consistent with the fragments you gave me. It is obvious that the six of them are together, and the purpose of coming to Ellington is not simple.”
”You know what.”
Donne's eyes were full of ponder: ”their behavior reminds me of the word 'stampede'.”
