How to become a sea witch

Chapter 20, Part twenty

In all fairness, Bernice felt somewhat comforted for a brief moment when she saw that Tiago appeared in the magic mirror because he happened to be standing behind her.

After all, it would be very embarrassing if a group of angels from the light camp discovered that her biggest nightmare was this gentle and kind sea god.

But right after, Bernice noticed the abnormality of the other party.

He seems to have been staring at his hand,? There is a kind of focused darkness in his eyes.

Following Tiago's line of sight, Bernice secretly looked down at her left hand, it was still fair and clean, and there was nothing unusual about it.

I had no idea what he was looking at.

Bernice retracted her hands into the cuffs of her jacket little by little, looked at the other party calmly, and said with pretended ease: "I thought this magic mirror was soaked in the sea and became dysfunctional, so I didn't notice it, Mian When did it come out?"

"Just now. I just saw you here, so I came here." After speaking, Thiago returned to his usual state, still looking calm and modest, leaving only an imperceptible layer A faint gray cloud still remains in the fundus of the eyes.

"Oh, I heard they said that standing in front of the magic mirror can see...some interesting things, so I followed along to join in the fun."

While talking, Bernice subconsciously looked back at the magic mirror behind her eyes, convinced that the picture in the mirror hadn't changed in any way, it was still just reflecting the two of them, she breathed a sigh of relief: "But it might be It's kind of broken,? Nothing has changed."

Could it be that she was too dark to beat the magic mirror?

But it was Thiago who finally cleared the mess.

And, if the magic mirror really didn't respond, then what were these angels looking at just now?Or is the ability of the magic mirror useless against gods?

Before she could finish thinking, Thiago also looked at the picture in the mirror with a shallow smile: "It's not broken, that's how it is."

Because the ability of the magic mirror can only be useful to one creature at a time, and the deeper the emotional fluctuations, the easier it is for the magic mirror to capture.So the image shown in the mirror is not from Bernice's heart, but from him.

Thiago had already realized it at the first glance when he saw the mirror.

However, a mirror image is a mirror image after all, and it has no effect except to relentlessly dig out your deepest secrets, arrogantly and viciously reminding you of the huge gap between your delusion and reality.

He looked away, turned his head slightly towards Blake, and motioned for them to take the magic mirror back to the shelter, and then said to Bernice, "It's almost time, let's go."

"Ah, okay." Bernice took a last look at the magic mirror, and decided not to worry about what Thiago meant by "it's not broken".

After all, compared to the irrelevant matter of whether the magic mirror is good or bad, what kind of unknown place she will be taken to is worthy of her anxiety and concern.

Following Tiago all the way away from the monitoring center, they walked away from the city and gradually entered the dense virgin forest outside Petro City.

The place is empty and silent, the vast coniferous forest stretches as if there is no end, and the layers of leaves surround the city wall, completely isolating all sounds from the outside world, and the whole environment is so quiet that only grass leaves and clothes are left The slight rustle of rubbing.

The sun was still sleeping below the sea level, and the rich smell of forest vegetation mixed with the thin snow accumulated on the canopy, and together they mixed into a kind of icy freshness that lingered at the tip of Bernice's nose.

In the near-dull environment, the whiteness of Tiago's body and the pure and gentle light gold on his long hair like the morning sun became the only existences she could see clearly.

After walking for more than ten minutes without seeing any intention of him stopping, Bernice finally couldn't help asking: "Are you going to the top of the mountain?"

"Yes." He replied, moving the dry and broken branches in front of Bernice's knees in a natural and careful manner. "Probably still a while, are you tired from walking?"

"No...uh, thank you, I'll do it myself."

Embarrassed, she reached out and wanted to clean up the sticky moss-covered branches by herself. While groping around, her fingertips accidentally touched Tiago's palm, and she immediately retracted like an electric shock and copied it into the coat pocket. She shook her head and replied: " No, I'm not tired, I just asked casually. Speaking of which, how is the new sample?"

"The basic characteristics have been figured out, but the origin of this kind of thing is still unclear, and more investigations are needed in the follow-up." Thiago replied, holding his fingers for a few seconds, as if he was nostalgic for something, and quickly released it. open.

"This is a parasite bred by complex spells and has an active response to magic power. All creatures with magic power can become their hosts, while others such as humans and some low-level mutants will be classified by them. class as food."

"Spells." Bernice tried to recall all the magic spells she had learned, frowning lightly, "I've heard a lot of magic spells that steal the magic power of the same kind to improve my own strength, but this parasite seems to be It's the other way around. They don't directly kill magical hosts, but instead manipulate them."

Thinking of the various manifestations of the red thorn demon, she asked again: "Can this parasite also amplify the power of the host?"

"It's not amplified, it just cuts off their ability to perceive pain and suppresses their fear. In this way, it will be difficult for them to feel fear and desire to survive, and they will not want to escape even if they are injured." Thiago indifferently explain.

"Ah, no wonder that red thorn demon is going crazy." Bernice nodded understandingly.

Snow water slipped from the branches and fell into her collar, spreading a burst of sudden coldness.

Bernice looked up and saw that outside the lush and lush forest, the originally pitch-black night sky began to gradually wake up to a faintly bright dark blue. Fragile and nearly nonexistent light floated in the forest, outlining everything around it into a blurred state. Outline.

The fog lingered in the distance, damp and cold.

She walked through here, as if walking among a group of dark ghosts of various shapes.

After a brief silence, Thiago suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic just now: "Are you going during the prayer?"

"what is that?"

"It's a kind of gathering for angels, but it's not limited to angels, all invited creatures are welcome, and one will be held here soon."

"That's it." But it was also a meeting of angels, what was she doing as a demon?

Thinking of this, Bernice quickly replied: "I definitely can't go, or it will be embarrassing for everyone."

"If you were invited, would you go?" Thiago looked at her, his blue pupils were the same as the dawn sky above him, and he couldn't tell whether the coming sky was bright or dark.

Or, if Troy invited her, would she agree?

Bernice was a little dazed by his question, and couldn't understand what he was thinking. No matter from which angle, this situation was impossible to happen, so why did she ask?

"Is Your Majesty kidding me? How could an angel want to invite a demon."

After hearing what she said, Thiago relaxed a little, and the expression on his face softened a lot: "I thought Troy would invite you to go with him."

"Who is Troy?" Bernice was even more at a loss.

"It's the angel who took you to the magic mirror." He reminded gently.

I don't know if it was Bernice's delusion, but Tiago seems to be quite satisfied with her ignorant reaction, or happy.

Do you mermaids have such weird smiles?

What's there to laugh about when you don't know anyone else?

But after being reminded by the other party, Bernice understood: "Oh, you said him. He is really... quite friendly."

A little too friendly.

"It seems that you have a good impression of him?" Tiago stared at her with a calm tone.

The question was so weird that Bernice began to subconsciously guess the reason why the other party would ask her this way - Troy is an angel, and asking her about Troy's impression is equivalent to asking her about her impression of angels.Angels and mermaids have always been allies on the same front, absolutely positive factions.

Therefore, it can be deduced that he is testing his perception of justice and peace, and further testing whether she, as a demon, is really repenting from the bottom of her heart and wants to change her mind and become a demon again.

She can answer this question! ! !

Bernice, who finally got the sub-question, restrained the corners of her lips that were intended to rise, organized her words calmly, and then began to speak: "Of course, I have a very good impression of him!"

Thiago froze for a moment, and then heard her continue to say: "He is a very sunny and lovely angel, and he is also the first angel to express friendliness to me after I was released from prison. I like him very much... "

"That's enough." Thiago interrupted her with a rare cold and even sullen attitude, which made Bernice get stuck and forget what she was talking about.

She stopped where she was, blinked her light green eyes quickly, and stared cautiously at Thiago who was also not far from her, puzzled.

The sky is gradually brightening, and the shadows, like the receding tide, begin to loosen and recede.

With the increasingly clear light around him, Bernice saw that the blue in his eyes seemed to be frozen on the irises, which was oppressive and cold, and she felt a shivering sensation that made her scalp numb after staring at him for a long time. .

"If I ask you a question that you don't like or is embarrassing, you can just tell me that you don't want to answer me, Bernice." Tiago looked at her, his voice was low and cold, soaking Bernice's hearing inch by inch, "But don't use such words to perfuse me."

Bad, rainbow farts too much.

She looked away with a guilty conscience, and at the same time she was a little confused, obviously she felt that she had good control over the level.

"I didn't perfuse you." Bernice looked back at him calmly, trying to make herself look more believable, "I really think Troy is pretty good, and I also..."

"Did you only hear my last sentence again?" He was expressionless.

Not by raising the volume, but by the overly impersonal tone, which created a clear sense of oppression for Bernice.

She pursed her lips, and then nodded: "I heard everything. But, in fact, you didn't ask any questions that I didn't like or were embarrassing. "

"Really." That's strange.

Thiago was silent for a few seconds, and could understand many concerns and thoughts in her heart.I also know that with Bernice's personality, if she is pushed into a hurry, or if she feels something is too obvious, then she will try her best to escape as far as she can.

She has always been like this.

Thinking of this, Thiago didn't start, stretched out his hand to press the brow bone, restrained his emotions, and said softly, "Sorry, I didn't have a good attitude just now."

"No, not at all." Bernice quickly shook her head and changed the subject, "Then what, do you want to continue walking towards the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, it's almost here." He turned around and continued to lead the way.

So where are you going?

Bernice kept this sentence in her mouth for a while, and finally swallowed it again around the tip of her tongue, only quietly following behind him, and they walked through the forest that was gradually thinning in front of them in silence.

The mountain is not high, but the view is very good.Standing where the forest cannot hide, the Avacha volcano can be easily seen in the distance.

The towering and huge mountain grows out of a piece of gray-blue, covered in white snow, clean and flawless.

Thiago stood on a stone that had not yet been covered with moss, facing the rising sun that was about to burst out, and pointed to a place in the valley to Bernice: "Come and see this."

Bernice hesitated for a few seconds, leaned slowly towards the edge of the cliff, quickly glanced at the hole below that was constantly emitting thick white mist, and then shrank back: "What is this?"

"Geyser." He replied, pinning the blond hair that was blown by the wind on his cheek casually, with a calm expression, "Come closer, Bernice. I won't push you down, I just want you to see it It looks like it will erupt in a while."

Can this fish read minds?

Bernice looked at him in astonishment, followed by the embarrassment of being seen through.

She symbolically fiddled with the messy hair in front of her eyes, and standing a few steps away from Thiago, she suddenly came to her senses and felt something was wrong: "Is this what we want to see?"

Ran all the way here from the monitoring center just to see a natural fountain? ?

Can't you make a bunch of them in the sea and spray them for fun?

If you feel that the atmosphere is lacking, you can add some sharks, tuna and dolphins to jump into the water to add to the fun.

If it doesn't work, let Gabriel knock a shell on the spot to add a little sense of rhythm. It should be perfect.

Why do you have to come here?

"It's not time yet, wait a little longer." Thiago said while turning his gaze to the distance, stopping at the place where the dawn and the volcanic smoke merged and merged.

Bernice imitated him in a daze, staring at the ever-changing brilliance. She could probably guess that he was waiting for the sunrise, but she didn't understand the connection between this and the geyser, and she didn't understand why she insisted on seeing it all. look up.

Soon, the sun finally broke through the layers of mist and rose completely, and a large piece of golden color spread out, shining so brightly that it was close to the limit of light.And the geyser, which had been quiet all along, also spewed out a large amount of scalding water at this time, straight into the sky.

A large amount of boiling water vapor and fine water droplets diffused, and under the action of the sun, they quickly dispersed into a clearly visible and magnificent rainbow across the air, which was so amazing and precious against the background color of the monotonous white smoke.

Bernice looked up at it, and suddenly remembered that the last time she saw a rainbow was when she first entered the Fallen Garden.

At that time, she thought it was fun, so she foolishly walked around the water prison over and over again around the colorful light trail, and wanted to freeze it with magic power and put it beside her as a collection.

However, the existence of a rainbow is usually fleeting. After it disappeared, Bernice sat in the cell in a sense of loss, staring at the place that had become dark again, depressed for a long time.

After all, life in prison is always difficult and boring, and any new things are worth collecting.

Slowly, the mist lingering in the air began to gradually condense, and even the rainbow seemed to be frozen in front of my eyes.

After a short pause, all the wonders quickly withered away, falling into countless iridescent light spots, which Tiago held in his hand.A slender, crystal-clear ice-blue fish scale lay in the palm of his flattened palm towards Bernice.

Standing in the mist, under the grand sunrise, he said to her, "Happy birthday."

Birthday?

Why doesn't she know it herself?

Bernice stared at him blankly, and didn't answer the words for a while, and didn't reach out to pick up the fish scale.After thinking for a while, she finally realized that this was the day she casually told Thiago back then, and it was also the date of birth that she wrote down on the crime file of Meteor Garden in a daze.

But in fact, this is not her real birthday.

Having been by Ursula's side for hundreds of years and living in fear every day, she had already forgotten when her birthday was.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, obviously you don't need to do this, thank you. But..." She glanced at the fish scale, stretched out her hand and scratched the end of her eyebrows, "Why would you think of..."

"It's just a routine. I would also give Gabriel something for his birthday before." Thiago calmly explained, "Take it. Pick it up and try it against the sun."

Bernice looked at each other with wide eyes, stunned by this family-like collective atmosphere and Thiago's behavior.

What kind of realm and spirit is supporting him, even if he is pressed on the head by the magic mirror to relive the history of humiliation, blood and tears, he can still treat her so calmly and equally.

Is this the mind and brilliance of God?

Bernice felt that she was about to be purified to tears by the holy light of forgiveness emanating from the other party.

It can be seen from this that she wants to cheat... No, there is still hope in her plan to lure the other party to undo the curse for her!

She hesitated to pick up the fish scales, and held them up to the sun, a translucent rainbow was immediately projected on her body, a colorful and flowing beauty.

"If you want to see a rainbow in the future, just put it in a place with light, and you can see it even at the bottom of the sea."

Bernice spread her hands, looking at the magnificent colors overflowing in her palms, she suddenly felt in a daze.

This is a rainbow that only belongs to her and can live forever in the deep sea.
