Chapter 258: The mature main quest will be completed by itself
When a crew member genuinely wishes to meet someone, "Silver" will never let him meet him; When a crew member wants to take another look at a place, the "silver" will never pass through it.
Just stay on board...... It's destined to pass by the people you want to see and the places you want to go.
This is a spell called "The End of the World".
But if it is used in reverse, it can also be used as a shelter.
For example, Arthur sincerely hopes that he can become a golden rank and return to the power of his family - then the power of "silver" will make him avoid his own people all the time;
If Lucia the Centaur wants to find her own kind and return to the Centaur Retreat, she will never run into a Centaur or enter the Centaur Retreat as long as she is still on the Silver.
When a person has some kind of "impulsive desire" lurking in his heart, silver will give him no chance to realize that wish.
For example, confessing to a girl who knows that he doesn't like him, assassinating an enemy who absolutely can't go to war, and a wanted person returning to his hometown to meet his family.
This is something that many people will have, the wish of self-destruction.
Therefore, the selection of people in Celicia is particular.
All the crew members she chooses are losers with "a strong desire to kill themselves".
If they don't ascend to the silver, then the fire that burns in their hearts will eventually destroy their lives completely.
And as long as they are still on the "silver", they will never take the next step.
It's a hysteresis. It's a bondage.
And Celicia, in her opinion, is also a kind of salvation -
It can keep them away from those "dangerous desires", lurk in the dark places that no one can find, quietly accumulate strength and temper their will.
In fact, even Celicia herself was one of those saved by the "silver".
Celicia, of course, wanted to see her teacher again...... This is her truest wish.
But her rationality also told her clearly - even if she saw it, what could she do?
What's the use of just meeting each other?
Does the teacher really need her?
You must know that the teacher is also a gold-level transcendent, and he is also the former leader of the Winter Hand, proficient in intelligence gathering and analysis. If you really want to find her, it will be enough to contact her every time she arrives at her destination and leaves "Silver".
Since you don't come to her, it means that you don't need her.
- This is a relatively optimistic estimate.
Another thought lurking in her heart was ......
β¦β¦ She may have been abandoned.
In the Winterbreaker's plans so far, she seems to have reached the end of the road. All the roles that Celicia can play have been played, and even she doesn't know what else she can do for the teacher.
The teacher didn't even post any more tasks to her.
Does this mean that she is no longer needed?
Even if she's already at the Golden Tier?
Even if she is no longer the weak and powerless Thoronik?
Even if she ...... Already got such a beautiful body?
So, is her existence meaningless?
Once she thought about it, she couldn't help but shudderβand if she thought about it, it would even destroy her entire worldview up to now.
The reason why she was willing to accept the curse of "silver" at that time...... In fact, it's just trying to deceive yourself.
If you put all the blame on Silver for the reason that you can't see the teacher, it seems that the teacher is not so ruthless. She can also forget about her wishes for a while - there is no point in unfulfilled wishes.
It's just a fantasy.
β¦β¦ But now, things are different.
Perhaps it was precisely because he was sucked into a nightmare of the otherworldly level that his connection with "Silver" was severed, and he was able to contact His Majesty Annan and have the opportunity to fulfill his wish......
- There is no doubt that all this is arranged by fate.
But when she thought about it, a nightmarish thought climbed in her heart and could not be removed:
Could it be that the curse of this ship is so strong that even the teacher can't get around it? Maybe the teacher has already looked for him, but was stopped by the curse of this ship?
That's a kind of accident, after accidentally discovering "when did my phone run out of battery", she suddenly had a sense of fear of "did I miss the call when my phone was out of battery" - especially this phone is really very, very important, and her phone has been out of battery for several years.
If that's the case, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Even if you know that your statement is very irresponsible - it is almost equivalent to abandoning your own crew.
But Celicia, too, did not want to miss this opportunity.
"Our Silver Brigade is sailing with 'dreams' as fuel and 'dreams' as the end."
Celicia said seriously: "And now, I want to ...... I've touched the edge of my dreams. I have to go to the Duchy of Winter. If this time goes well, my wish will be fulfilled...... If it doesn't go well this time, I probably won't be able to make it back alive.
"If any of you want to continue this 'dream-chasing journey', I'll transfer the captaincy to him now."
The meaning of her words was very clear.
In any case, she won't be coming back.
Then the Silver Brigade that was condensed only by her personal charm...... It's time to disband.
"βI'll stay. Give me the silver. β
Unexpected.
In the silence, the only one who spoke was Orpheus holding the golden harp.
At that moment, all the crew, even Arthur, looked over in amazement.
They all know ...... Of these crew members, only Orpheus was truly in love with Celicia.
Arthur's affection for Celicia is almost a comrade-in-arms who supports each other, while Euphemia's affection for Celicia is a friend of the same country, and Lucia is a kind of convincing and dependence on the captain.
But Opepie really abandoned the right to inherit the throne and secretly ran out with "Silver" - he really came for Celicia himself.
And now, it is he who chooses to stay on "silver"?
Orpheus silently swayed the strings of the harp a few times, and the dark-haired man with amber eyes looked at Celicia with his gentle gaze.
"I'll put the silver in the winter underground. If you still ...... in the end I'll pick you up. When the time comes, I will return the captain to you again. β
It may sound a little unlucky and a little humble.
But Celicia just looked at him and nodded slowly.
For the first time, a look of forbearance and entanglement appeared in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Ofus. I ......"
"I understand."
Offie took a deep breath and interrupted her.
There was no sadness in his amber pupils, but gentle and bright: "If I had such a chance, I would have left."
"I don't think 'the end of the world' is a curse, it's more of a trial. A trial that gives people the courage to give up everything and chase their dreams.
"I don't have that courage right now, but I hope I will."
ββ¦β¦ Then I'll stay with Offy. β
The centaur girl hung her head and whispered, "I don't want to see strangers......"
"I think I'll leave."
Arthur and Euphemia looked at each other and said without hesitation: "I will travel with His Excellency the Forgiver until she is sure of her Pope, and then I will proceed to establish a Church of Resistance against Rebellion for her." β
His meaning was clear.
Even if he can't be the pope, he has to be a cardinal.
Euphemia quickly understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Me too. β
"However, I probably won't be going back to Winter ...... anytime soon."
The forgiver tilted his head in annoyance.
At this moment, Longjing Tea suddenly spoke: "Miss Celisia, if you want to go to the Duchy of Winter...... Why don't you come with us?
"A few of us are Annan Rindong's most trusted cronies. The reason why we came to the Duchy of Mourning Song is because the Grand Duke wants to see you. β
Although those love and hatred are too complicated to understand, he still understands Celicia's desire to see Annan.
- It's amazing, the main quest is fine.
Leave it alone, and the target of the "arrest" will consciously come to him and ask for arrest?
There is still such a pie falling from the sky?
What is it called?
You're already a full-fledged quest, it's time to complete yourself......
