Overturned Tower - Vol 2.3 Chapter 96

Because Russell was going to Yongquan Island tonight to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the monkey-faced eagle.

So after hearing Wolf Word’s request, Russell thought for a while.

“Good strategy, but I want to make some adjustments.”

“what?”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s just that delphinium and I have something to do right now.” Russell chuckled and glanced at delphinium sitting aside.

The delphinium noticed Russell’s gaze, she smiled and lowered her head on the table, and tilted her head to look at Russell. One of her ears was erected, the other was pulled, and the erected ear trembled slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Lang Yan raised his brows slightly, hesitant to speak, “Are you… planning to meet your parents?”

“I’m an orphan.”

Russell replied without hesitation: “There are no parents who can take Flotie to meet.”

Although the sheath is not dead yet, it will be sooner or later. So it can also be counted as dead in advance.

“…Flotie?”

Langyan froze for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the delphinium.

His expression was a little subtle: “Have you all reached the point of exchanging real names?”

According to the customs of Happy Island, it is basically family members who exchange their real names… because the code name symbolizes the other party’s entire social identity, and calling the real name is to get rid of this social identity. Therefore, it is quite impolite to call the real name directly. It can be used as a derogatory name, or a call between close brothers, roughly similar to someone’s nickname; and calling each other’s real name between lovers, usually It is not much different from directly calling “wife”.

Although the delphinium is often called “Russell” instead of “Ultramarine,” this is the first time Russell has called a delphinium Flotie in front of the underdogs.

It means a change of attitude – which can be more credible than their official announcement in front of the camera.

“We’re already planning to get married, and we’re getting engaged tomorrow. This time, we plan to meet Russell’s mentor.”

Delphinium explained: “For Russell, he is the closest to him among Russell’s elders who are still alive.”

—I also have to confirm for myself whether there is any threat to myself.

She added in her mind.

After all, she was quite a famous elf beauty. Under the blessing of immortality, the passing time can be turned into charm. Not to mention, when she came into contact with Russell, Russell hadn’t awakened the memory of his previous life… For real young people, such a beautiful, intimate and reliable elder is very difficult to forget.

And if she is not the enemy, then Delphinium must thank her sincerely.

It’s not just the kindness of taking good care of Russell… The reason why Russell is the current Russell is also related to her decision to pull Russell into this world.

Today’s delphinium has fully known all of Russell’s secrets. The Russell she fell in love with was the one who became mature, gentle and somewhat magical after awakening the memory of his previous life. It’s not entirely the naughty genius who still has the characteristics and instincts of beasts, and is as vigilant as a cat.

If Director Sally Ruth hadn’t pulled Russell into this world, then they would never have met in this life—no matter what kind of fate they had, they would never have met again.

“…Oh, then congratulations, both of you.”

Lang Yan seemed uninterested: “If that mentor is an elf, I won’t go.”

“Do you still hate elves?”

Russell smiled and said, “What about Miss Lothar?”

“‘For the sake of our mutual naming, can you call me mom?”

The delphinium at the side held his hands in front of his chest, reciting emotionally.

Lang Yan scratched his head vigorously, and became angry from embarrassment: “Okay, let me go with you!”

Amidst the laughter of Russell and Delphinium, the three of them boarded the floating car that automatically stopped at the door.

Soon, they arrived at Sogo University.

That is the very center of Sogo Island, clustered around the tower, the three curved like sharp claws

architecture.

Their shells are like mirrors, reflecting a dazzling iridescent light outward. But after getting closer, the rainbow light will magically turn into an overwhelming, ocean-like white light. And let the white tower in the middle as the “core” shine with silvery white light.

And these three continuously shining buildings belong to Sogo University.

“I thought it was the Sogo Group’s house.”

Delphinium looked at this divine and stunning beauty and couldn’t help rubbing her eyes: “I remember you said that they belong to Sogo Group.”

“It is true. Because Sogo Group and Sogo University are next to each other. Sogo Group is on the outside, and Sogo University is on the inside. Although I think it is because it will be more troublesome for college students to go out, but it still has a meaning. It is that ‘ignorant teenagers are closer to God than adults, because they have more possibilities.”

Russell introduced his hometown with some nostalgia.

“Sogo Island and Sun Island are similar but different. Although Sun Island also values ​​education, what they need most is ‘top scholars’. The school is just a screening and training institution. But it is different in Sogo Island

The floating car began to slow down after approaching Sogo University, and the various temples and statues all over the bottom became clearly visible. Passers-by were all praising the gods, and the hymns echoed in the sky with the sound of praise.

Russell’s deep voice, mixed with praise, was like a prayer:

“On Sogo Island, education itself is a kind of ‘religion’. It is a ritual of ‘turning people into gods’. It is a sacred ritual for people to obtain what they will have but not have, and to eradicate their own vicious roots. .

“Through knowledge, education, wisdom and love, people are transformed from imperfection to perfection. This process itself is sacred…and people learn knowledge, cultivate friendship, and obtain future possibilities from here. This process is also touching enough .

“The “brightness” respected by Sogo Island is the light of truth, goodness and beauty. Acquisition of knowledge is true in itself, but it is good at the same time, and the order it possesses is beautiful. In other words, here is the possibility for the most revered light of Sogo Island to obtain the future, to abandon ignorance, break darkness, and bring light. ”

“…However, this lighthouse that constantly sings the light is built in the middle of a group of idols and temples.”

Langyan sneered habitually: “I don’t feel that those beliefs have any light at all, they are all just self-deception. I just find this scene ironic and ridiculous.”

Although he restrained himself a bit now, he just couldn’t get used to this kind of thing. He has always been straightforward.

“Indeed.”

Russell nodded and sighed: “Because Sogo Island has always been a Sogo Island for a few people.

“‘Light’ is closely related to ‘talent’. There are always very few people who can climb the Tongtian Tower named ‘talent’ and walk step by step towards a higher place of light. Respecting the purest light of truth, goodness and beauty is also It also means turning away from the majority who live in the shadows…those who cannot pursue the light.

“Everyone has their own world that they regard as the truth, and they also have their own views of good and evil and personal aesthetics. In the final analysis, this is something that cannot be unified. To put it another way, it is obvious that the data is big. Most people regard it as truth, goodness and beauty, but because of the intermediary of the “Three Sages”, it is not recognized by anyone. This is a kind of paradox.

“These gods are the light revered by mortals. They are different, from different ancient cultures, or perhaps purely modern cultures. They are not sacred, and they cannot grant others the power of holy orders . . . just have a certain homely morality.

“Those ‘lights’ that could not be absorbed by the Sogo Group and the Cyber ​​Church were scattered all over the place. They became such ignorant, abstract, half-baked things.”

Russell looked at the passers-by who were as small as ants and solemnly worshiped the statue, and said softly: “But I still think this is a good thing.

“No matter how stupid the truth is, it is better than the overflowing lies and deceptions; no matter how abstract goodness is, it is better than the evil that cannot be restrained; no matter how half-baked beauty is, it is better than the ugliness that is admired. Compared with the pure and flawless

, the pure light beyond reproach, I prefer to believe in the small, less charming, and less shocking personal goodness that comes from every mortal. ”

Just like Russell’s conversation with the Pope.

Russell preferred mortal possibility to saintly self-sacrifice.

Because the good of “human beings as a whole” cannot be higher than the sum of the simple sum of “everyone’s good”—the ultimate, absolutely rational good, nor is it higher than the universal good.

“…You still believe in such things.”

Wolf Yan’s expression was a little complicated: “I have always felt that there is no possibility of saving human beings. Looking around, everyone is ugly. Even a real God may not be able to save this sinful world. He may be able to destroy Even if this world is overthrown and started all over again, it will not be able to wash away the sins in everyone’s heart.”

“How do you know that this world has never been destroyed by God?”

Russell sighed casually.

And when he finished speaking, Beauty God suddenly interrupted: “Here we are, Luo

white. Shall I inform Sally Ruth? ”

“Ah, I’ll trouble you then.”

Russell nodded his thanks.

This was Sally Ruth’s laboratory—and she used to call it her workshop. The decoration here is extraordinarily luxurious. Not just to the extent of “everything that one expects to have”, but like a palace – with a feudal atmosphere. Compared with a pure research institution, it is more like “a personal residence built by a very wealthy and prestigious researcher as he pleases”.

It is not a “research institute where people can live and eat”, but a “luxury villa where all research work can be carried out”.

There is no one here.

After they walked into the house, a pixelated white arrow appeared on the black transparent floor, guiding them to their destination.

The surrounding walls, as they advance, gradually reveal comical welcome special effects and canned applause, seeming to be lively. Delphinium and Langyan didn’t respond, but Russell couldn’t hold back.

“tutor!”

He raised his head and reprimanded loudly: “Don’t be so embarrassing!”

After Russell finished speaking, those strange welcome special effects disappeared immediately. There was only a small pixel man in a red dress who covered his face with a folding fan. He bowed to them and said “I’m sorry” like a special effect of a middle-aged person’s emoji.

When Russell walked to the place, he saw Sally Ruth with a smile on her face.

Dressed in a gorgeous crimson gown that could go to any gala, covered in expensive and gorgeous jewelry. But even those jewels are overwhelmed by her beauty, giving people a feeling of “not worthy of her”.

The first time I saw her, both Langyan and Delphinium were shocked by her beauty beyond human intelligence.

They all had a strange illusion—the long golden hair hanging like the most beautiful satin, under the warm light, was like a living thing, as if it was constantly twitching and wriggling. It’s like some kind of visual error image, which is obviously static, but gives people a feeling of slow movement. The two seemed to be petrified by Medusa in an instant. But Russell just sighed helplessly at this unusually familiar development.

“Aren’t you going to restrain yourself, Teacher?”

“It’s better to say that it’s better for them than restraining yourself?”

Sally Ruth showed a pleasant smile full of malice, snapped away her folding fan, and exposed her charming beauty to the outside: “They should all be just one step away from Leviathan now.” wall?

“After seeing my face, it will be easier to strip away your humanity. It will be easier when you get promoted.”

She stepped forward and tapped the delphinium’s chin with the folded fan in her hand, causing her to raise her head slightly.

Delphinium’s pupils were still filled with chaotic light, but this move made her move slightly. Behind her, a huge flower monster suddenly emerged from her shadow, but when it approached Sally Ruth, it suddenly froze in place.

– That’s the “door”.

There seems to be a non-existent door between Delphinium and Sally Ruth that separates everything. The demon behind Delphinium cannot reach her until the door is opened.

“…what is this?”

Delphinium was one step ahead of the wolf sound, and slowly woke up.

She had a headache, and asked intermittently while covering her forehead.

“There are some things you don’t understand, and that’s fate.”

Sally Ruth said with a smile.

Russell glanced at her: “There are some things you don’t understand. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand…that is the love between human beings.”

“Indeed, I don’t understand love. But it doesn’t rule out that I will be very excited to see it.” Sally Ruth opened the folding fan with a smile, covered the lower half of her face, and narrowed her eyes: “You came here to ask for love. Do I agree? Then I’m going to say it—I agree with your marriage.”

“One thing to say, I’m just letting you know.”

Russell crossed his arms and said bluntly: “You are not my mother.” “I am indeed not Alice, but you can be regarded as being summoned to this world by me. From this perspective…”

Sally Ruth turned around and sat down again, crossing her legs gracefully: “Perhaps you should call me master.”

“The correct term should be the summoner.”

“That’s not the same, because I also found you the most suitable body. After all, you are my most precious treasure, but because of this, I still care.”

She looked at Delphinium’s belly, and generously promised: “You don’t have to worry about your children. If one of your children inherits a certain quality of yours, you can also give it to me.”

“how do you want to do it?”

“Anyway, it won’t affect this world at all.”

“Do you want to exile it to another world?” Russell pressed.

“No, I’m not the kind of person who wastes everything. I’ve seen many half-bloods, but I haven’t seen ‘Half Dusk’. How could I just throw it into another world?”

Sally Ruth looked innocent: “What’s more, you are my treasure… so is your child. Would you be angry because your Pokémon gave birth? I just want to take a look, right? It’s just a flash—I think you can understand this feeling, right?”

“…What Pokémon?”

The sober delphinium was puzzled.

Russell shook his head without explanation.

But he noticed another word: “You said… later?”

“Yes, at least she’s fine.”

Sally Ruth smiled slightly: “Compared to letting her come to see me… you actually want me to see the child, right?”

“There is indeed a part of the reason. I want to thank you for your kindness.”

Russell said solemnly: “Part of the reason is that I want to ask—if I defeat the monkey-faced eagle, how can I devour him? After that, will I react? What I said to the Pope Is it possible to succeed?”

“I don’t know~”

Sally Ruth smiled mischievously, as if she was just a teenager: “I don’t know anything.”

“tutor…”

Russell was a little helpless: “I’m serious…”

“You’re Russell, right?”

Suddenly, Sally Ruth interrupted: “Then, you just think about what Russell would do. So far, you have done a good job. I don’t think there is anything else to say.

“Also… remember to have more children after everything is over.”

After all, without waiting for Russell to ask.

She opened the folding fan, and slightly opened it to Russell and the three of them.

The surrounding space trembled for a moment, and Russell came to the shop with a huge river. The thick humidity hits the face.

“—Reiko, let’s start with five catties of fried small fish for an appetizer!”

A cheerful voice came from behind Russell: “Hahaha… eh? Isn’t this

Is that Mr. Buckhead?

“Are you lost again? Or are you here to pick up your lost friends?”

Russell looked back at ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and saw a giant who was at least three meters tall with a huge head.

At this time, the “screen” in front of Russell’s eyes trembled slightly.

Only then did his chip realize that he was on Yongquan Island instead of Chongguang Island. Therefore, the positioning above, the weather, and the UI in front of him all changed suddenly.

But Russell didn’t greet the giant immediately, he just held Delphinium’s hand first, so as not to panic her.

After it’s all over…..

Is this a response?
