In the end, Yaleriga failed to give Bodi an answer. She knew the most mainstream official answer to the question posed by the former gatekeeper, as well as the various less mainstream versions, the most controversial, the most ridiculed, the most reluctant to be mentioned. There was even one of them that was closely related to herself.
But she didn't mention it at all. She was careful not to let Purdy know too much about herself. Instead she asked, "Why do you think that?"
"Maybe it's just that I love chaos," Bodie replied. "A king of the world who truly pursues stability doesn't sound believable."
"He doesn't have such a high status yet. The outside system and you..."
"No, no, you know what I mean. You can say whatever you want about the system, it doesn't affect the essence of the matter. In the end, there is only one rule - whoever can kill everyone, his words will count. It will always be like this . This is the result of an inevitable choice. Now he has a universal machine in his hand, and it is the most powerful of all universal machines. You tell me what he pursues is stability."
"No idea is unshakable." Yaleriga said, "Maybe not everyone in this world is like you, or your creator."
That rogue smile appeared on Bodi's face again: "Whatever you say, I won't believe it anyway."
"But so far, everything is working as he announced."
"Really? Are you so successful? Isn't there any factor that he claimed he couldn't control? He told you that you still need to be vigilant and careful? If there is not even such an opponent to create pressure for you, I really doubt that he is It’s not like we keep you all on a farm. He wants to do his own thing, but he needs you to fill in the materials, so he gives you a comfortable environment.”
Yaleriga quietly sucked the petals. That wasn't too much for her to handle, but the former gatekeeper was a bit difficult. His and Yi's sensitivities were completely different - the latter almost never asked her about politics and power.
"Then," she said, "why are you still looking for the one who defeated the Ageless? Now the Ageless have no power over you. You are free. It seems they have lost the ability to kill you."
"I said they treated me pretty well before."
"So this part isn't about power anymore?"
Bodie looked at her silently, still smiling. They stared at each other for a while.
"What do you want to prove?" Bodie asked. "I'm not sure that's what you mean, but it sounds like you always want me to admit something."
"So, are you hiding anything from me?" Yaleriga asked.
"That depends on how you define it, beauty. I will definitely not tell you every thought in my heart, or do you think that is worth the ticket? I don't mind talking about it in detail, as long as you agree."
He looked at Yaleriga eagerly, no doubt preparing some unappreciative remarks. Yaleriga took another flower candy.
"Yaleliga," she said, "or Yalay."
"What? Your name?"
"Yes," Yaleriga said, "don't call her beauty."
"Although your ears don't look normal, do you still feel embarrassed?"
"No, I would think that you have never been liked by women."
Bodie had his funny look again. He finally chewed the nearly melted flower candy into his mouth and praised Sugar City's best-selling product.
"That's nice," he said. "I see you like this look. It's in your hair too. What does that mean?"
Yaleriga stretched out her hand and stroked the top of her head. She didn't wear the chain left by Jinghuang because its shape was too similar to Mrs. Hong's flower tree. She had a suspicion of this fact, but she did not want to arouse any hostility from Purdy, even if it was just an unconscious confrontation.
But she did have flowers on her head, some permanent flower decorations made by elves, drawn from the dew chrysanthemums that bloomed in the northern woodlands of Essen Island. It is said that this flower can be used for divination. By repeatedly asking questions and picking the petals in order, flowers of different colors can answer questions of different natures. But that wasn't the main reason why Yaleriga wore them. These brightly colored and vibrant little flowers are always inspiring, just like the cheerful faces of children.
"I like green fields," she said.
"Weird, but okay. I noticed that the shapes of these flowers are different. They are not the same species. Is there anything special about them?"
Yaleriga told some stories about flowers. their place in the study of the White Tower, several romance or horror legends, and of course the elven kind. Elves believe that the flowers of plants are the manifestation of radiant life.
This concept made Bodie laugh again. He pointed to the candies on the table and asked: "The glow of life? These fragile little things that can't move? Some soft reproductive organs. They might as well take off my pants and take a closer look. I tell them what life is." Glow.”
Yaleriga glanced at him and smiled indifferently.
"Only backward species see this as shame," she said, "or as an honor."
"That sounds a bit absolute. And I thought you were very conservative there. After all, the winged one exhaled when he saw me, as if I polluted the air."
"She doesn't like male aliens."
"That's so sorry."
"It's a big place outside." Yaleriga continued, "Some areas welcome this, some think it's a trouble. Some places don't think it's necessary to exist."
"That's a real loss."
"They feel like it's a waste of time and energy."
"What do they want all this time and energy for?" said Bodie. "Forget it, leave them alone. I just want to know what you think. You don't seem to be an abstinent person."
"So I will choose something better." Yaleriga said. It wasn't that she didn't understand Bodie's meaningful look, but she didn't intend to pay attention to it for the time being.
However, Purdy didn't seem to want to drop the subject. He asked persistently: "What's not good about me? I look too strange for you? I think you treat that silly boy well."
"Compared to you, he is a sincere person. I don't have to guard against him."
"I can also be a sincere person."
Yaleriga raised her eyebrows. She looked at the person across from her suspiciously.
"what do you want?"
"You. Isn't it obvious?"
Once again Yaleriga planned to reject him. But Bodie spoke first. He held up his hands and said, "Hey, hey! I'm not talking about a one-time thing. I'm talking about a long-term relationship. You and me. See? That's what I'm talking about."
Yaleriga stopped moving. This was indeed a statement that she had never thought of. For a few seconds, she felt that she could not grasp the other person's thoughts.
"Long-term relationship," she repeated slowly.
"That's right," said Purdy. "Look, I noticed that your boat is quite empty. It must be tiring for you and the winged one to take care of such a big thing. I thought you might not mind having an extra helper." The price can be discussed separately, but I guarantee it will be worth it. Let me stay on the boat, it will be a good deal. I can help the immortal man with my life, and of course I can help you. You don't have to worry about me doing anything bad to you, You are the leader of this ship, so I will definitely follow the rules. Am I not a convenient porter?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"I said, long-term relationship. And it sounds weird from the outside."
Yalerga looked at him uncertainly.
"You have prosody, too. You just can last longer than the average person."
"Yes. But if we find the city, it won't be a problem, right?"
A rare look appeared on Bodie's face. It can be said to be shrewd and capable. He said: "I will not make the kind of wish that causes trouble. Eliminating noise, balls and rings, world truth... are not my favorite dishes. I am asking for a little bit of personal freedom. How to say, I ask it to complete a little bit for me. Medical work, and I don’t think that’s too much.”
"You're thinking far ahead," Yaleriga said.
"So what's going on? If we find that city, will you take me in?"
Bodie looked at her, as it were, eagerly. Yaleriga didn't speak, she thought about this matter carefully.
"Perhaps this is a good idea," she said. "Wait until we find the city. If it does give you what you want, this ship can accommodate you."
A triumphant smile appeared on Bodie's face when he heard her promise. That made Yaleriga fall into more secret and long-term thinking. But the former guard stood up from his chair.
"I might know how to get to that city," he said.
