The drizzle that just started wetted the flowers and leaves placed outside the window, and then the recently dry ground became wet again in the fine rainwater - there is really too much rain on the island, although it is said that this is already more than The September storm has been much better.
Agnes stood by the window of the study, stretched out a hand, felt the cold rain, and silently thought about the day's events.
There was nothing suspicious about the old man's identity. After all, he made no secret of his identity and even took the initiative to hint to Agnes.
Whether it was the wheel of fortune that opened at the beginning, or his subsequent statement that he was just "a poor old and weak steward of the Life School who is busy coordinating various conflicts every day", it undoubtedly showed that he was a high-ranking elder of the Life School. Manager, the identity of the speaker of the Parliament of Destiny.
The purpose of the other party coming to see him is also very clear. Of course, it may be just an excuse - he hopes to verify whether she is related to what the other party has been waiting for, and now he has undoubtedly got a negative answer from here. Agnes intuitively knew that she should know something about what the other party had been waiting for, but she couldn't find the relevant information in her existing memory. From this point of view, what the other party was waiting for should exist in her disappeared memory, and It's quite possible that it involves a higher level.
And the question that arises from this - why the other party still thinks it is "a good thing", is still a question that needs to be explored. She does not think that a Sequence 1 "Mercury Snake" will express kindness to other people without any reason. Although she had an excellent impression of this "Snake of Mercury" in her remaining memories.
Agnes could hardly help but think of the strange attitude of the Church of the Earth Mother and the Castilian family of the royal family of Feneport towards the Pagani family. It was difficult to view these situations separately from what she encountered today. She didn't think that there was no reason for such a situation, unless it had helped them in the past or they could get something in the future.
Agnes retracted her hand, picked up the handkerchief placed aside to wipe the rain off her hands, and looked at the tarot cards neatly stacked on the desk.
In the memory, the other party has been being chased by another "Snake of Mercury". At that time, the other party appeared to be a boy less than ten years old. He had to die soon after and was "restarted" as a doctor. child.
Judging from the opponent's condition today, it is obvious that he is a Sequence 1 mythical creature, but he has allowed himself to show an old state. Judging from the fact that the opponent can appear in a square where people come and go, the opponent's condition should be at least good.
But since the state of the old man is revealed, it cannot be meaningless. No matter how good the old man's health is, he will inevitably enter the grave one day, and for a "mercury snake", self-chosen death means starting over.
There must be a reason why the other party chooses to "start over" - either as he remembers, to avoid the pursuit of another "mercury snake", or to wash away the madness.
Judging from the fact that the other party will meet with him without much concealment, the reason for the latter is greater.
Agnes paused in wiping her hands, and couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.
To be honest, it doesn't make much sense for her to think about these things now. No matter what the reasons are for the other party to choose to show kindness to her, whether it is because of a good impression in the memory or a good impression generated by the kindness released by the other party, she should currently Everything you do should be accepted calmly.
What she should be thinking about now is the hints she got about Stitch-related events and the planning behind them.
When a person succeeds, there are always many people who will get some inspiration from that person's success. Agnes played with the tarot cards in her hand and recalled the words she had received before. Who was successful? What kind of success was achieved? Who was inspired by this success? What kind of inspiration did you get? And why is it that only she and the planner know the key?
If you put aside everything else and analyze only from this sentence, then she will know the key, which must have nothing to do with her. She is either a successful person or an inspired person. As for what exactly it is, There are no clues yet in her fragmented memory.
There is currently not enough information about the success and inspiration obtained, but Agnes suspects that Stitch was born due to "inspiration", but there is insufficient information to determine which aspect of "inspiration" it is.
As for the planner... Although it is offensive to think so, Agnes is currently leaning towards the Earth Mother. After all, Stitch came to Olavi Island because of the mission of the Earth Mother Church. It is absolutely impossible for the Mother Goddess to know nothing about it.
And the possible purpose of the Earth Mother...
Agnes pressed her forehead in distress, feeling that her analysis had reached an impasse.
She threw the tarot cards in her hand on the table, looked out the window at the afternoon that was getting quieter due to the patter of rain, and sighed slightly.
"Nightingale," Agnes called in a low voice.
The figure of the little nightingale appeared beside Agnes with ripples.
"Help me buy some sets of men's clothes, suitable for both Mr. Chester and Capas," she said softly. "Mr. Chester comes here in the rain, I'm afraid his clothes will get soaked."
Nightingale nodded and disappeared into the room.
...
In the days when nothing happened, time seemed to pass much faster, even though it was only three days.
Since arriving at sea, I have been either collecting information about pirates, leaving land and taking a boat to my next destination, or attending various extraordinary gatherings. There is nothing extra to do in these three days, I just need to explore. The method of playing the living corpse that suited her, and the days when she received Mr. Chester's instruction in the afternoon, reminded Agnes almost of the weekends or holidays in her own memory.
Agnes pulled up the quilt to block the sunlight shining on her through the gaps in the curtains, pretending that she did not feel the temperature of the sunlight.
A minute later, there was a knock on the door. She sighed, got out of bed and opened the door.
"Ella," as expected, there was Lani's figure outside the door. She glanced at the entire room and raised her eyebrows slightly. She walked in, opened the curtains, and bright sunlight instantly filled the entire room.
"I thought you wouldn't want to let most of the last day of the year disappear in bed." Lani looked at Agnes and said with a little teasing.
"No, if possible, I would rather sleep from this year to next year." Agnes shrugged.
