Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 59

“The child who looked at me with longing eyes has amazing talent. After he said that, he agreed to Alice’s request.,

Considering that the monitor might be watching him, when Russell said this, he did not change his face to look like “My Lord Bishop”. But his throat issued a voice that was exactly the same as that of the old man.

Delphinium suddenly discovered that the voice of the “Master Bishop” twenty years ago was almost exactly the same as it is now.

“So, in fact, you are considered… the Bishop brought you up?”

She hesitated, considering calling him “General.” But after thinking about it, she decided to use the most common address. In this way, if someone is eavesdropping, at least the other party’s secret will not be revealed.

Delphinium thinks it is a rather despicable behavior to tell other people’s secrets about themselves as “good relationship with the other party” talk.

“Yes.”

Russell lowered his gaze and reached out to touch Alice’s box lightly: “From this perspective, His Excellency Bishop is like my father, my grandfather, my maternal grandfather, and my teacher.

“When I was young and ignorant, it was the bishop who taught me many principles of life. One of them has influenced me until today…

“He said, ‘I planted the divine power in me. What I did,

It is just to harvest it from time to time and offer it to the hungry to satisfy their hunger. ,”

Russell repeated softly: “His metaphor and understanding of ‘power’ made my eyes shine – power is not a sharp blade, not a shackle, not a scepter, not a flame.” Power should be a flower, a fruit, and a seed. Power Something of self-evident beauty, something that feeds the hungry, something that brings hope and a future.”

“He is a very wise old man.”

Delphinium nodded and made a crisp sound.

“Alice didn’t teach me much,” Russell said softly, “or rather, Alice was too gentle…that she didn’t want to teach me much.” ‘I could give you love, but I won’t Give you my thoughts…for you are a different being from me, though shed with my blood; I can find you a good teacher, but I will not tell you about the dreams I have had. The child should Going on a different path from your parents, I will not arbitrarily decide your future just because of your love, dependence and trust in me.”

Russell murmured full of love in Alice’s voice.

“Her gentleness is not the gentleness of a mother. It is the sober and clean gentleness like a sage, like moonlight, like the sound of a flute, lighter than gauze, softer than water. If there is any injustice in this world, It’s me who must question the gods face to face—that is, with Alice’s almost divine gentleness, why can’t she be recognized by the power of the Holy Order?

“She often said, ‘Expecting others without authorization is no different from a curse.’ Because of this, Alice has never hated the sheath, but she doesn’t expect the sheath to come back one day. She is just being with me in a normal way Live in seclusion.

“Alice always forgives the sheath, and never complains. Maybe it’s because of love, maybe it’s because of fate. Maybe it’s because of her tenderness and tolerance.”

When Russell said this, he shook his head slightly: “Until Alice was cursed and died, I always believed that.

“At that time, I wanted to be a gentle person like Alice, giving light and kindness to others like the moon… Until then, I didn’t realize that maybe what I needed to be was the sun and the fire.

“Bright and scorching hot. It can warm people, but it can also burn demons.”

He said softly, touched his chest, and slowly grasped the necklace left by Alice.

The discarded chip stored inside that originally belonged to Alice was absorbed by Russell’s awakened psychic energy long before he arrived at Happy Island. But the remaining crystal shell will still make Russell feel nostalgic.

It was the jewelry that Russell wanted to buy when he was in school.

Because of its shape, it looks very much like the necklace with badges worn by the selected children in the first generation of Digimon. Although Russell hadn’t awakened his memory at that time, he also

It feels vaguely familiar.

However, it was a crystal necklace with gold-plated edges after all, and Russell couldn’t afford it—man-made crystals were not expensive, but the gold-plated shell was more expensive. But Alice realized that Russell wanted it, so she turned around and bought it secretly, intending to give it to Russell as a birthday present.

This is also Russell’s last birthday present and the only relic left by Alice.

He already had money now, and he could have bought a necklace that was a hundred times more expensive than this. But Russell’s only accessory, the accessory that he wears next to his body, is still this necklace.

It was by far Russell’s most precious and beloved possession. It’s just that when it fought the monkey-faced sparrow last time, there were tiny cracks on it.

He looked at Alice’s photo, his eyes gradually became calm, and the melancholy gradually turned into tranquility:

“—Now, I really became the sun, Mom.

“I found someone who loves me, and I brought it to you… Her name is Flotie, she’s cute. I like her very much.

“If it were you, you would like her very much. I can be sure of this, because I have already simulated it… You will probably be playing on the sofa, watching your favorite show, and then hugging. Maybe I Instead, he would be isolated, huddled in a corner and playing games alone.

“Maybe when I’m tired, you guys will come to comfort me together. I’m loved by all of you, and I’m probably the happiest person in the world.” Russell said softly, “I’m getting married, Mom.

“Without you, there would be no Dad’s wedding.

“Uncle and aunt are very nice… They love me, even more than they love Flotie. If you are still alive, you should have a good relationship with them—you love Flotie, they love me. It’s like an exchange His own children eventually formed a new family.

“Mom, I’ve found Dad. But he’s kind of let me down… Maybe you’re lucky you didn’t see him again. When I see him again, I’ll give him a break.”

When he said this, Alice’s last words resurfaced in his mind. “Don’t try to save people. The Russell people can’t be saved. Take care of yourself.”

Her faint whisper still rings in Russell’s head: “Be big, Russell. Don’t let someone manipulate your destiny.”

Ahh, I did it, Mom.

I’ve become a big shot. No one can manipulate, use me anymore.

Russell closed his eyes and said silently in his heart.

Alice’s whisper sounded in his heart.

It was a person who had done good deeds all his life and saved countless people, his last murmur: “Don’t try to save anything, don’t give happiness to others anymore.

“Be a selfish person. A selfish and happy person

“Mom will give you all the happiness that mother saved…

“Don’t give it to anyone else…

“Stop doing dangerous things”

sorry mom. I have received your preserved happiness…but I have some very dangerous things to do. And I have to do it, I have to do it.

“I can’t live for myself…”

Russell murmured in a low voice: “This is what I… learned from you.

“I don’t want to save anything, nor do I want to share happiness with anyone.

“I just… want to save my child. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I want to give my child a future, and I want to give the future hope.”

He opened his eyes, and carefully took off the necklace around his neck without hesitation.

He opened Alice’s urn, folded his own crystal pendant, and slowly put it inside.

Afterwards, Russell put his palms together and prayed silently.

After a short prayer, he gently closed the box again.

“I’m going to do something very dangerous. Put it here and give it to the Bishop to take care of it.”

Russell said softly: “All this time, I have used my body temperature to warm it… Before I come back, let it accompany you for me. I

Will definitely be back, I promise.

“When I come back again, it will be with my children. It will be a glorious victory… I will win the future for the world.”
