Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 55

Delphinium would have thought that the floating vehicle would be parked at the foot of a mountain, or in front of a cemetery.

But in the end, it put Russell and Delphinium in front of a cyber church.

“Alice’s ashes are stored here.”

Russell said with some nostalgia: “When I was in school, I often came here to work. I can also see if an elder who has a good relationship with me is here… If he is here, I can also say hello.”

The melodious hymn sounded faintly. As Russell pushed open the thick red wooden door, the voice of the hymn suddenly became louder.

Compared with the previous small church, the scale of this church is much larger. There are more than a dozen boys and girls wearing blindfolds and reciting hymns, and seven “prayer devices” are hanging in the air empty, no one is using them.

And the delphinium smelled that strange smell again.

Sweet and sour like lemon peel or plum, mixed with a slightly bitter smell like burning chestnut shells, like a pine forest after rain, and faintly… like formaldehyde It smells like gasoline again.

It doesn’t make people feel good, but it makes people refreshed and solemn.

Delphinium finally asked Russell the question she had been curious about for a long time.

Russell can really give a clear answer:

“You mean this smell? This should be the common incense used in all cyber churches… The main ingredients are chrysanthemum and powder.”

“…Is that what **** smells like?”

Delphinium was a little surprised: “I thought…”

“Did you think it would smell like milk?”

The corners of Russell’s mouth could not help but rise slightly, and he explained: “That’s because the milk is a white liquid like milk before it solidifies. But it is actually a kind of olive family called oleracea. The resin of the tree. Its main fragrance is a slightly sour woody aroma. The last medicine is also the resin of another olive tree.

“In all cyber churches, incense made from these two spices will be burned. Haven’t you noticed that Wuming also has this kind of fragrance on his body? It should be that he often lazily coils in the church, and his body is full of smoke. smell.”

“…I won’t lie on him every day like you. How do I know what he smells like.”

Delphinium muttered in a low voice with some disgust: “I don’t care about that either…”

At this moment, an old man suddenly seemed to see Russell,

Came straight over.

She then raised her head and looked over.

The old man with short white hair was wearing a double-breasted white turtleneck trench coat. The buttons on his body were not black, but silver—to be precise, they were made of metal. Each button is engraved with a rune. From top to bottom, there are ten buckled ones and two hidden ones.

And on the buttons on his chest, three of them were hung with a slender silver hanging tag.

The hanging tag looks only as thick as a miniature lipstick, and it looks like an earring, and it shakes and jingles as you walk. Only when it was turned upside down occasionally could the delphinium see the engraved words on it.

The first one says “Fearless Darkness”, the second one says “Fearless Suffering”, and the third one says “Fearless Farewell”.

The old man wore heavy boots and walked very slowly. There was a majestic expression on his old, ravine-filled face, and he hadn’t weakened into “kindness” because of his old age. The sharp ear feathers behind his ears revealed that his spirit kin should be some kind of bird, and his sharp and determined eyes revealed the habits of a carnivorous animal. ‘Long time no see, my boy. Hope you are doing well. ”

The old man’s tone was old, smooth and deep. It will remind people of quiet stone carvings, or inkstones standing quietly on the table. As he spoke, he walked slowly. His pace didn’t speed up or slow down at all, but Russell walked towards him slowly, and his pace became faster and faster.

The old man slowly spread his arms, holding Luo firmly and forcefully

Su hugged her in her arms.

That tight, thick, and down-to-earth hug,

Let Russell bury his head deeply on the old man’s shoulder, breathing in the rich aroma of his body.

The old man didn’t say a word, but quietly hugged Russell. His eyes didn’t even shift in the slightest, and he didn’t look at Delphinium standing beside Russell at all. It’s as if Delphinium and Russell are two completely unrelated people.

Delphinium now observed the old man’s fingers. It was an extremely rough hand with many tiny scars and calluses.

That should be a pair of hands belonging to skilled workers.

“I lost my composure…My lord bishop.”

After about five or six seconds, Russell slowly let go of his embrace: “Long time no see, I miss you a little.”

And the old man immediately let go of him, and took two equal steps back.

When his boots hit the ground, they didn’t actually make much noise. But the delphinium seemed to hear thunderous roars in its ears—if thousands of such old people stood at attention at the same time, what kind of sound would their boots make?

Delphinium had never seen anything like that. But she seemed to hear such a roar. The sound of a waterfall hitting the ground.

“But no matter what, you will eventually leave us like a baby bird

nest.

‘We too shall leave this world, as Alice

about you. The dead will not come back, and the living will go forward

Row. ”

The old man replied calmly: “To survive in the world, you have to adapt to parting. You have to learn to say goodbye to us, and then continue walking.,

His voice was slow but loud, like the kind that would sound on the radio.

“I know…”

Russell replied softly, and even bowed slightly when nodding: “It’s just that I’m a little out of control, my lord bishop.”

It was the first time that Delphinium saw Russell like this, and he became like a restrained and polite young man.

And at this moment, Delphinium suddenly realized—Russell seemed to be indeed a young man.

He was even a day short of his twenty-seventh year.

‘You shouldn’t lose your temper. Maintaining a calm posture should be a priority in public places. ”

The old man’s face was still serious, expressionless.

“I’ve heard about your deeds, and I’ve heard a lot. You became a hero and saved many people; you saved Hua Mingshu’s daughter, and I heard about it too. You did a great job, you made Alice proud of you.

“But you love to show your face too much, Russell. Justice never needs to assert itself. Truth and justice are self-evident. Avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and be yourself.”

“Yes, my lord bishop.” Russell nodded respectfully.

“—but, since you are admired by people, you must set an example. Be calm and calm. Think twice before acting. Don’t reveal your feelings, it will make you used by others, and you are worthy of being Take advantage. People depend on you, follow you, you can’t let people down. You are a leader and you are destined to be a leader.

The old man’s speech is still unhurried, UU reading www. uukanshu． com But the name he mentioned made Delphinium’s eyes slightly widen: “You are the child of Wendy and Alice, the continuation of their lives, and the proof of their existence.

‘You have to outdo them. You will inherit them. You will win them all. You have that ability. ”

“Yes.”

Russell still nodded.

The old man was silent for a while. It seems to be thinking about something, and it seems to be looking at something.

He stepped forward and patted Russell on the shoulder hard.

“You are fat.”

The old bishop said in a low voice, “Thanks for your hard work, kid. Well done.”

The moment he said those words.

Delphinium clearly saw that Russell’s eyes were moist for a moment.
