dedicated to violets

It is a beauty that cannot be described in words.

At this moment, Viri lost the ability to speak, and could only look at the white tower in a daze.

It is very similar to the watchtower of Fast, but it is far more sacred than the watchtower. Just looking at it like this can make people worship.

There was a rainbow-like halo around the tower, and Viri raised his head, reflecting the blue sky and the tower in his eyes.

It seemed to be suspended in the sky, and it seemed to stand right in front of him.

Beside the high tower, the silhouettes of branches and leaves emerged, Viri suddenly realized, as if he understood something.He thought of the ladder among the white clouds, and the World Tree that suddenly disappeared.

It turns out that this tower is hidden on the World Tree.

"Veri." Ignace's voice sounded at the right time, gentle and firm, "Let's go."

Viri came back to his senses, exhaled a breath, calmed his ups and downs, and then nodded vigorously: "Okay."

"No matter what you encounter, don't be afraid, I am with you."

Violet pressed Violet, as if he could touch the warm palm of Ignace, which was the temperature he had longed for decades.

He said, "I understand."

In the past 30 years, Ignas has been by his side in a special way. In the past, he might have scruples, but now he is not afraid of anything.

"I'm not afraid," Willie said softly.

The ground under his feet was as smooth as a mirror, and where Viri walked, ripples appeared like water waves.The tower was reflected in the water, and Willie squatted down, trying to touch it, but Ignas stopped him: "Don't touch it, this is a water mirror, it looks like a mirror, and there is spring water underneath."

Viry: "Fountain of Urd?"

"Well." Ignas replied, "This is where the real spring is. Don't touch it. If you touch it, you will be pulled into the past time and cannot escape."

Viri stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the front of the tower, wishing to be farther away from the water mirror.

Willie said with fear: "Fortunately, you reminded me."

Ignas was amused by him: "Don't be so afraid, father deliberately separated the spring with mirror magic, just to prevent people from having a chance to touch it."

Next to Viri was the pylon, all white, and seemed to be carved from a single block of marble.

"Push it off," Ignace said.

Viri withdrew his original gaze from looking at the water mirror, and turned to look at the heavy door. He tried to put his palm on the door.The rough feeling of a stone in the palm of the hand does not seem to be easy to push.

The gate of the tower is very high, without any decoration or relief, it is as clean as a mirror.The purple light started from the necklace, along his arm, and reached his wrist.Wei Li suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and with great force on his wrists, he slowly pushed open the dusty door.

"The magic overdraws your strength, it may be a little uncomfortable, take a break." Ignas said, accompanied by his voice, and the light hovering on Viri's wrist.

Familiar feeling.

Viri thought to himself that every time he was injured before, he would feel this kind of itchy and warm feeling, and it was indeed Ignas who was healing his wound.

His heart was warm and sweet, like drinking a glass of milk, he didn't feel tired at all, and he could even be called refreshed.

So Willie said, "I'm fine."

He began to look around, on his right hand side, there was a ladder, not wide, only two people could stand side by side, it was very cramped.

The ladder is attached to the wall and rotates upwards.The steps themselves, as well as the handrails, were made of marble and bathed in a milky light.At intervals on the wall, there is a huge window inlaid with transparent glass, through which the sunlight penetrates, illuminating the furnishings and decorations in the tower.

Viri stopped in his tracks, raised his head and looked up, only to see the stairs like a spiral, with a little dazzling white light at the top of the end.

The white light flickered, which was a bit dazzling.

He immediately raised his arm to cover his eyes, so as not to be burned by this white light.

Viri muttered to himself: "The tower is hollow. It seems that we can only climb up to see what happened." He looked at every corner, and the tower was very empty, except for the spiral steps and the carvings carved on the handrails. Apart from the simple pattern, there is no a little decoration.

Viri thought of his own childhood.

The church in Fryer Town is small, but it also has a bell tower, and the bell ringer lives on it.

He wanted to go to the clock tower to find out more than once, but he didn't succeed again.The bell tower in my memory is somewhat similar to this tower.

Willie couldn't help laughing.

He was thinking about something, the Vatican and the bishop were deeply involved, maybe the shape of the bell tower of the Vatican was modeled after this tower.

He walked up the stairs slowly, and after a few steps, he came to the first window.The window sill is not too long, but the window is very high, enough for a person to stand, not like a window, but more like a door.

Viri looked out of the window and could only see the blue sky and white clouds.

Ignace said, "What are you looking at?"

"I don't know either," Willie said hesitantly, "I just subconsciously feel that there is something worthy of attention outside the window."

He rubbed the violet pendant very restlessly, trying to convey his anxiety to Ignas.

"Then do you want to continue watching?"

Willie said, "What do you think?"

"Is it a thing of the past?" He didn't wait for Ignas' answer, and continued to follow the question, "You said this is the real spring of Urd, it must be full of goddesses of fate. Urd's power to see what happened in the past."

This tower is the destination to which the bishop directed him.

The memory hidden here belonged to the bishop, or maybe the gods.

"Then do what you want," said Ignace.

Willie nodded slightly: "Okay."

He looked through many windows, and it was all a dull sky and clouds.Viri continued to climb tirelessly, mechanically repeating the action of looking out the window.

Viri went to a window, and there was a breeze coming from the open window, and it was a little cold.

The sound of gurgling water appeared in his ears, very familiar, he had only heard it before.

Wei Li was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze out of the window, and a pool of spring water came into view.

The charming girl is sitting on the stone by the spring and reading a book, her long hair is tied up, she looks gentle and peaceful.Willy rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't blind.This girl was the goddess of fate whom he had seen not long ago——Skodi.

Soon, Skodi's sister and two other goddesses of fate also appeared in Viri's sight.

They poured water to irrigate the world tree, strolled and read books by the spring, and occasionally other gods came to visit them, and they sat for a long time.At the end of every conversation, Scotty would frown and look worried.

It's for Ragnarok.

Viri had already speculated on the cause of her distress.

And Scottie can't tell the future.

Even though fate had set the trajectory at the moment of birth, Skodi couldn't reveal a single word, and could only say some ambiguous words around the bush to guide the gods to realize the impending crisis.

At this moment, Viri seems to have traveled through the long river of time and returned to Asgard thousands of years ago.

He heard Scotty sighing melancholy, she was sitting beside the green grass, the spring water reached her ankles, from a distance, she looked like a carefree girl.Viri looked at her quietly, knowing the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, everything in front of my eyes suddenly became blurred and turned into colorful patches of color.

Viri took a step back and stuck the hard armrest on his back. He was shocked and woke up immediately.

The cold wind poured in from the open window, and the blue sky and white clouds were outside. The goddess of fate and the flowing spring water he saw seemed to be a dream.

"What's wrong with you?" Ignace asked anxiously.

Viri stared blankly at the clouds blown away by the wind, and said, "I saw the memory of God."

A little light appeared by the window, Viri subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the light cluster flew to his palm deftly.

In the dense light, a graceful figure of a young girl appeared, she raised her head, smiled and waved to Wei Li.Viri blinked and couldn't believe his eyes. In the next second, the pocket-sized Scottie turned into a light spot and shattered.

Willie reached out to grab it, but it was in vain.

"This is the sleeping consciousness of the gods," Ignas said in a deep voice, "they preserve a little memory of the gods' life."

"Is this what the bishop wants me to see?" Willie said.

Ignace shook his head: "I don't know either."

Viri let go of his fisted hand, stabilized his swaying mind, pressed on the handrail, and looked up. The endless stairs were like a spiral. He didn't know how long he would have to walk before reaching the top.

"This is indeed the tomb of the gods," Viri said awkwardly, "but what is buried here is not the bones, but their remaining consciousness."

He had seen Randall, and he had seen the bishop.They have long since passed away, but their residual consciousness is lifelike, and their voices and smiles are like living people.Many times, Willy forgets that they are gone.

He strode up, stepped over the stairs, and looked at every window.

Many broken memories of gods flashed before his eyes.

He saw the patron saint playing the horn by the side of the temple, and many other gods, walking in Asgardri, standing on the high wall and looking at the courtyard...

"Ignace—"

"Ignace—"

The mellow child's voice shouted loudly.

Viri was taken aback, and found that he had unknowingly walked into Asgard in the past.

He stood in the middle of the wide long street, not far from the many temples.As soon as Viri turned around, a blond-haired child crashed into his arms, then passed through his body and continued to run forward.

"That's—" Willie immediately realized, staring at the little figure who was gradually going away, "The bishop's twin brother?"

The back of the child looked lonely, and he was trembling when he ran, as if he would fall down at any time.

He remembered that the person's name seemed to be...

"Yuli is too reckless, did it scare you?" Wei Li was thinking of the man's name when a mature voice came from behind him.It's just that the timbre is too immature, but it seems a little funny.

Viri turned his head and saw only a fluffy blond top.

"Meet you again," the young bishop Ignace raised his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a smug smile. "It seems that only I can see you this time. What's your name?"

Viri looked at the bishop's face stupidly, as if he saw Ignas from the past.

"My name is Willie Haydon," said Willie, "how did you see me?"

The bishop pointed to his eyes: "Because I can see the soul, didn't you realize that you don't have a body? When I saw you last time, you were clearly still alive, but now it's like a soul slipping out alone. It's not good. The body is still alive , but the soul has escaped."

"Then what should I do?" Willie said.

"I don't know either," the bishop spread his hands, "I'm a child too, how about I ask for you?"

Viri shook his head and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you wonder who sent me here?"

The young bishop had a lovely face, and his eyes were beautiful blue, resembling the vast sea.

With bright eyes, he said, "Of course I'm curious."

Then he said: "But you can't say it. If you can't say it, then it's pointless for me to ask you, although I really want to know."

Willie squatted down and looked at the bishop.

The bishop tilted his head and looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Viri shook his head, stretched out his hand, pointed at the bishop's chest, and said softly, "It was you, you sent me here."

The bishop was taken aback. He gasped first, then covered his mouth, revealing only a pair of big eyes filled with disbelief.

"No way?" The bishop put down his hand excitedly, turned around a few times, and jumped in front of Wei Li again, "Am I so powerful?"

Viri recalled the bishop in the diary of the Valentine couple, and the father in Ignace's mouth, and nodded seriously: "You will be very powerful in the future."

The bishop held his face happily: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I'm telling the truth," Willy laughed. Sure enough, no matter who it is, there will be naive moments, even the rumored omnipotent bishop is no exception.

Viri suddenly thought that the bishop's future, for him, was the past that had already happened.

So can he say a word about the future?

He tried to ask: "I remember Goddess Skodi told me last time that you have a twin brother."

Bishop: "Yes."

He looked at Viri with a foolish look: "It's the one who just ran over."

"Isn't he looking for you?" Willie asked. "You're hiding from him?"

"He's so clingy," the Bishop sighed, old-fashioned. "Everyone has their secrets and time alone, right?"

"Yes." Willie agreed.

The bishop scratched the back of his head: "But Yuli—"

"My brother's name is Ulysses," added the Bishop hastily, "you seem to know my name—"

"I remember." Willy interrupted him, "Your name is Ignace, a nice name."

He liked Ignas, even the name.

The bishop said happily: "I like Yuli very much, but Yuli is too clingy to me. I want to have some time to play by myself, but he doesn't want to. He just wants to stay with me all the time. Do you understand?"

Willie was speechless.

He wisely chose to keep his mouth shut and didn't answer.

If Yuli is replaced by himself and the bishop is replaced by Ignas, then he also hopes to stay with Ignas all the time.

This analogy is not correct, because the bishop and that Yuli are out-and-out twin brothers, while he and Ignas are lovers.

The Bishop looked at him strangely, as if unable to understand why Willi did not answer.

Viri was a little nervous when he saw the bishop's clear and clean eyes, so he said, "Sorry, I don't have any brothers, so I don't quite understand."

"Okay." The bishop looked a little disappointed.
