Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Miss Bayas turned around in the darkness. Seeing that it was Xia De, he smiled at him apologetically:
"I can't sleep at night, so I want to see the rain."
She put the teacup on the windowsill, and her hoarse voice blended perfectly with the background rain:
"You are really nice here. I was worried about waking you up, so I went to this room to watch the rain. I am always busy, and there are not many opportunities like this."
"Be careful not to catch a cold."
Xia De kindly reminded, hesitated for a moment, did not turn around and leave, but walked into the room and came to the window.
Outside the windows of the living room of the two rooms is the Saint Teresa Square. Although the gas lamps on the square are still on, in this rain, the light from the gas lamps can only turn into a warm yellow halo, which cannot illuminate the large areas on the square. of darkness.
The raindrops are like tadpoles, densely moving downward on the window glass in front of me. Amidst the clattering sound, Xia De noticed that on the glass in front of Miss Bayas, there were words written by her fingers using the water vapor from the teacup.
It was not a contemporary language, but Miss Bayarth reached out and wiped it away before Shad tried to see it clearly.
"Are you worried about things tonight?"
Miss Anat is the oldest of the three, and Xia De, a foreigner, has also experienced too many things. Only this 17-year-old girl is a little green, and Xia De is worried that she will have bad thoughts because of the pressure.
"If it's not worried at all, it's certainly impossible. But mainly ... still thinking about the 'chosen one' thing."
She looks to the window:
"To be honest, I never thought that I would be the chosen one. The result will be tonight. Miss Anat said that I will gain great power, and the road ahead will become more... ..Amazing, she used that word. Maybe I'm being sentimental, but I'm a little flustered about the future."
"Do you want to be the Chosen One?"
"certainly."
Her answer was thoughtless.
"Then move forward and don't think too much."
Xia De said that he thought of himself a month ago, and remembered the story he heard in the cemetery yesterday:
"Sometimes we don't get to choose what kind of future we're going to face, we don't even know what we're going to face... It's nice that you still have a choice. And you're not alone, Miss Anat and I will always be by your side to help you. Besides the two of us, there will be more chosen ones who will appear by our side in the future."
He wanted to reach out and pat Miss Bayarth on the shoulder, but hesitated as to whether it was polite to touch the young girl's nightgown.
"It's probably really sentimental, detective... Xia De, don't worry about it."
She turned her head and smiled at Xia De:
"Standing here alone watching the rain will really make you feel worse and worse, but you are right. Thinking about these things, it is better to plan more about tonight's arrangements."
Seeing that she easily adjusted his mood, Xia De didn't know whether his words had an effect or the other party was already strong.
At this time, he heard another sound from the door behind him, turned his head, and saw two glowing objects floating in the darkness outside the door. But before he was surprised, the sleepy-eyed cat walked in with short legs.
It probably came here because it saw that Xia De hadn't returned for a long time. Walking unsteadily to Xia De's feet, he slowly stretched out his right front paw and pulled Xia De's pants a few times.
When Xia De picked up the warm and soft cat, it actually fell asleep again. The cat's life is quite regular, waking up on time at six o'clock in the morning and urging Shad to make breakfast. And now, it's still time to rest.
Miss Bayas smiled and looked at Shade holding the cat:
"When everything is over in the future, I..."
"Stop! Don't say such things."
Xia De quickly stopped her from finishing these words, and reminded very seriously:
"Never say anything like that before doing something important."
"Is this some kind of strange superstition? Shade, ring magicians can't be superstitious."
Miss Bayas said with a smile, turned around and continued to look at the rain outside:
"I really envy the life you have. It is quiet, peaceful, and you can hug the cat and watch the rain at night in your spare time. Although I am a church ring warlock, I actually admire the founder of your Byrons, the thirteenth The sorceress of the ring, the witch of kindness, the witch of knowledge, establish one's own great career, and then enjoy life comfortably, instead of running around all one's life... It's not that I choose to be the chosen one, but I have to be The chosen one. This is power, this is the price, this is the curse, this is the blessing, this is... the balance."
"The Church seems to know you are a candidate for the Chosen One?"
Shad asked again.
"Yes, the Church of the Sun I belong to, and the Church of Peace, which has some of the witch's relics, know."
"So after tonight's success, will you confess that you have officially become the chosen one from the candidate?"
"Yes, the value of the chosen person's status is that I will be promoted to the 13th ring. There is nothing worth hiding. On the contrary, I will use this to fight for more power and freedom, which will also facilitate cooperation with you to find more The chosen one. In the future, there will be many opportunities to cooperate with you and Miss Anat."
"In the past few days since that Sunday night dinner, I've thought about what it means to be balanced."
"Is there any gain?"
Xia De, who was holding the cat, asked softly, thinking that with his experience as a foreigner, he might be able to give her some advice, but Miss Bayas replied directly:
"To understand the meaning of balance, there is no numerical index for me to refer to. Since I became a ring warlock, I have been discovering my own special ability. After meeting you, I realized that it is the power of the chosen one. I can Using the power of 'balance', the strength of ring wizards who are higher than me can be reduced to be similar to mine."
The day Xia De saw the "Sunshine Gun" for the first time, she used this power to defeat the [Mercury Blood] Ring Warlock.
"I can use the power of 'balance' to identify good and evil in people."
So she has very few friends, even if she doesn't call out the golden balance, she can instinctively measure a person's balance of good and evil.
"I can even use this strange power to suppress the power of a powerful [relic] in a short period of time, keeping the whispering element in balance with the surrounding enlightenment element...Of course, this is very difficult, and it can only be suppressed [ Part of the power of the relic.”
But this is already very remarkable. As a second-ring warlock, she is really very powerful.
"After the banquet that day, I thought deeply about the deep meaning of my own power, trying to dig out the essence of power from 'balance' itself, and then... I failed. This power is like drinking water, walking, and raising your hand, It is my own abilities, but I have to discover them step by step. They have no meaning, they are part of me, but also because of this reason, I understand a very simple truth."
"What's the point?"
Xia De asked, the cat in his arms "meow~", but it was just dreaming.
"I am the balance."
Her eyes moved from the window to Xia De, and the two looked at each other closely:
"The balance of everything is based on me. The power higher than me, I want to lower it; the judgment of good and evil is based on my thoughts; the power of the balance relic is supported by my own enlightenment. Since I am a person favored by the ancient **** of 'balance' [The Hanging Judge], then when I hold the balance, I am the fulcrum of all balance."
At this moment, there seemed to be a golden light shining in her eyes.
But Xia De soon understood that it was definitely not "as if".
Miss Bayas raised her right hand, and the golden color naturally lit up from the palm of her hand. Behind her, amidst the sirens and bells, the life ring emerged in the thick steam.
The light in the palm of the hand is connected with the life ring behind it, and the brass-colored ring actually shone with a golden luster at this moment:
"Miss Anat is right. I was only using power before, not discovering it. Now I can feel it. When the ceremony is over and I completely transform the ring of life into gold, I can truly grasp the power of balance."
She clenched her right palm tightly, causing the light in her palm to scatter into light spots and float in all directions.
With the patter of rain, Xia De stared dumbfounded at the life ring behind Miss Bayas. He originally thought that it would be very difficult to understand the "power of balance", but he didn't expect that in just three days, the other party seemed to have understood everything:
"I thought you'd need help, like homeostasis or something."
He smiled embarrassedly:
"The balance I understand is not a line, but a line that fluctuates up and down around a line to form a firm balance. Miss Bayas, you are very good."
"You are also very good. How about it, Xia De, how about my power?"
Miss Bayas showed it to Shad excitedly, as if she wanted him to comment:
"I used that [witch's carbon paper] to copy the balancing power I used on myself in front of the mirror. In addition, when I was watching the rain here tonight, I thought of many, many things. When I answered your question just now, I can Instinctively have the current experience.”
Xia De sincerely praised:
"It's very powerful, not your strength, but your talent and wisdom are very powerful."
The outsider has really seen how unique the "chosen one" is. Compared with Miss Bayas, Shade's path of ring magician is too ordinary.
"So, tonight's action will definitely not be a problem."
Make the life ring behind you disappear, Miss Bayas said. But after the excitement, exhaustion surged up again, so I could only bid farewell to Xia De temporarily, and go to sleep for a while before dawn.
Only Xia De stood in the empty room, watching the rain from the window:
"The danger has been divined in advance, and everyone at UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has prepared new powers. Miss Beas is only one step away from fully mastering the super-standard ability... In this case, today It's late, so I don't think there will be any surprises."
【Do you really think so? 】
she asked softly in her ear.
"Although there are always accidents in life, but with such careful planning, even if accidents do happen, we cannot change them. Besides..."
He felt the power sleeping in the soul and life ring, closed his eyes, and seemed to see the golden divinity directly in front of him in the darkness:
"During tonight's operation, if there is something that they can't handle, I will not be stingy with this drop of divinity."
[Sacrificing a drop of precious divinity for Bayas? 】
"In order to have a powerful helper on the road to finding divinity in the future, I will sacrifice a drop of precious divinity. I will not do things that I will regret after death."
