Chapter 625 The Last Note in the Treasure Bag
Chapter 625 The Last Note in the Treasure Bag
Jiu watched Tallulah's figure walk across the snowy plain and disappear into the bustling city.
She subconsciously said to the person beside her: "Erdo, don't forget to count..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly realized that Eldo was gone.
The member of the Integration Movement beside her patted her shoulder and said softly:
"I'll help you time it."
Jiu nodded, lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
But the integration movement member couldn't help but ask:
"Why did Tallulah want to go to the city?"
"To find someone, to get an answer."
The members of the Integration Movement shook their heads and said:
“I don’t understand. Although every time I see Tallulah take out that magic bag, I suspect that she has been brainwashed by Qi Yan, but since she trusts Qi Yan so much, why doesn’t she get the answer directly from Qi Yan?
I'm worried...what if this is just an excuse for Tallulah to escape?"
Jiu shook his head and explained:
"Tallulah told me that she was not brainwashed by Qi Yan.
In fact, after she was captured, Qi Yan didn't have much contact with her. She always used the magic bag only out of personal feelings and an agreement. "
"Promise?"
The member of the Integration Movement was a little confused, but before he could ask in detail, a call came from Nine's communicator.
Jiu's expression suddenly became serious: "As expected, the patrol team will appear in half an hour. This route will not be safe. Everyone stay alert!"
After finishing his explanation, Jiu Tiao looked towards the small town in the distance:
"Hopefully she'll be back in time."
……
……
"Now, please turn to page 132 of your textbook."
"In the 31st year of the Terran calendar, the Hippodrome Empire was officially renamed the Ursus Empire... The academic community generally believes that the Hippodrome lost its qualifications as a monarch because of the corruption and incompetence of the ruling class, as well as the rise of Ursus, which represented the main productive force of society."
"This war was described as an uprising of Ursus... If Hippogriff, as the ruler, had not insisted on a policy of racial discrimination, stopped encroaching on Ursus's property, and given Ursus equal opportunities for promotion..."
A gentle female voice came from the classroom and echoed in the corridors of the teaching building, telling a piece of history in a clear and organized manner, which made people reflect on it as if they were there.
It was as if the woman giving the lecture had personally experienced that period of history thousands of years ago and was retelling it in the voice of an observer.
Tallulah stopped outside the corridor of the classroom, listening to the sound of lectures.
A student passing by noticed that she was not a student of this school and kindly reminded her that the teacher of this class, Kashena, was very gentle and would not mind people other than students entering the classroom to listen.
In response, Tallulah simply shook her head and refused, then silently waited for the bell to ring.
Students filed out of the classroom, and many of them were discussing the content of the class with great interest.
After all the other students had left, Tallulah finally walked into the classroom and closed the door behind her, leaving only herself and the white-haired, black-feathered, proud-looking and elegant female teacher from Libori in the classroom.
Or rather... it was the female teacher of Junying.
Seeing Tallulah, the Hippogriff named Kashena smiled slightly:
"Do you have any questions, classmate?"
"...I found you." Tallulah said in a flat voice.
Kasheina: “…”
The atmosphere between the two of them became tense for a moment.
But soon, Kashena smiled again and said to Tallulah kindly:
"I thought I'd see you sooner, Tallulah."
"It was possible. Qi Yan has already told me your location, but I chose to go back to your lair first and find the letter you sent ten years ago."
Tallulah's face remained indifferent. "I don't know whether I should admire your foresight or be thankful that the channel has indeed been sealed for ten years. Your snake scales have long since rotted into dust, Kosice."
The corners of Kashena's mouth were still raised just right, embellishing her elegance and concealing her venomous coldness.
"It seems that you are still so rebellious. Whether it is Qi Yan or me, you want to use some insignificant resistance to highlight your independence." Kashena commented.
"But you are different from Qi Yan." Tallulah did not refute anything, "You always have everything under control, you don't like to resist, but Qi Yan doesn't mind, on the contrary, he is happy to see people's choices.
This is the gap between you and him that can never be bridged."
Kasheina was not angry, but asked: “Is there a difference?
No matter how cool Qi Yan behaves, he, like me, has everything under control. I have been paying attention to him, and his layout is more magnificent than mine. "
Tallulah shook her head: "I'm not here to discuss Qi Yan with you."
"Yes Yes."
Kasheina covered her mouth and chuckled, showing her elegance and charm: "I know why you came to me.
You want to judge yourself by judging me, and you want to hear my confession so that you can start your confession.
All you want is a little pitiful psychological comfort."
“…Go on.”
Tallulah's urging startled Kashena.
Kasheina's smile finally faded, and she said softly, "You want me to continue? I thought..."
"Do you think I will let you see my anger?" Tallulah said expressionlessly, "No, Kosice, you are not worthy.
Every word you have said so far has been rehearsed in my mind. The time I was imprisoned in Rhode Island was not short, and I really had nothing to do. The only thing that kept me company was the pen that Qi Yan gave me.
It has led me to review my life countless times, and it has told me countless possibilities for the future. ”
Kashena fell silent.
Tallulah did not stop talking. She took out the sachet and held it in front of Kashena:
“Koschei, before I came to you, I thought that if I couldn’t get a satisfactory answer from you, I would kill you.
But in the end, it was Qi Yan who reminded me that the answer I wanted had already been obtained when I met you, when I was talking to you.
Hatred, anger, murderous intent, none of these are important... My flame is not to ignite hatred, anger is my right, fighting is just resistance, not venting, these are the most important to me. "
Kashena looked at the treasure bag in Tallulah's hand, and she did not refute Tallulah's words.
She chose to focus on this tip:
"Compared to my control over you, Qi Yan's seems to be more comprehensive and thorough. He actually stipulates when you should make what decision."
"Compared to your description, I prefer to call it... gentle and careful."
Tallulah smiled in front of Kashena for the first time: "It was this magic bag that helped me get through the most confused time after leaving Rhodes Island. You said it is a kind of control?
I prefer to regard it as companionship. Qi Yan has his own things to do, so he uses this method to take care of me.
I know that Qi Yan has some plan that needs my help. This is not my inference, but he made it clear when he gave me the pen. What he wants is not my gratitude, but my return. "
Kashena's smile disappeared completely, and a venomous cold light flashed in the depths of her gray eyes.
Tallulah looked at her with a smile, as if deliberately contradicting her previous remarks, and said calmly and directly:
"There is one last note left in this brocade bag. It is Qi Yan's final arrangement for me. Can you help me take a look at it?
I will follow Qi Yan's instructions meticulously in front of you."
Kasheina: “…”
Looking at Tallulah's confident face, Kasheina sighed:
"No need, the note in the sachet is not for you."
"Huh?" Tallulah was startled.
"This is the prophecy Qi Yan left for me."
Kasheina didn't need to touch the treasure bag to easily know the content of the only note in it: "Everything is always developing and changing. Development is the birth of new things and the demise of old things, so...
The new must replace the old.”
Tallulah smiled again and denied:
"Please don't brag about yourself. This is not Qi Yan's prophecy about you. You are not worthy of this sentence, immortal black snake.
Qi Yan doesn't like so-called prophecies, so this sentence is not a prophecy, it is... the truth."
