The impromptu change of plans meant that there were matters to be dealt with, and to Agnes they were by no means too many—Lani's arrangements and the previous New Year's engagement with Mr. Chester.
But Agnes thought this was no problem - just leave Lani to Mr. Chester.
This was the idea that Agnes had come up with during this period, but it was implemented a little earlier.
Rani is in the easier stages of desire, and Agnes does not consider herself a good guide for Rani. After all, people only really know what they want after they actually do something according to their own wishes.
With Agnes, Lani seems to be a companion, and even someone who Agnes needs to take care of. But in the beginning, she was Agnes's prisoner and the person Agnes monitored. . Lani also knew this, so she never raised any objection to Agnes' decision.
And Agnes will also only do what she wants to do - this is indeed her wish, although she has not experienced anything enough to support the birth of such a desire.
Her desire is not obtained through some more common means, but comes from her broken memories-or something more secret.
Something was hidden deep in her soul, and then took root and sprouted under the stimulation of certain factors. It was like a supersaturated solution. With a slight vibration, crystals would grow along everything that could be clung to.
For Rani, at the beginning of her life, her mother lit a firewood that was enough to keep her warm, but now it has been extinguished, and only the residual warmth remains; in this half of her life up to now, hatred and Self-hatred dominated her life, and then, on the day of Byam, erupted into flames that destroyed herself and those around her.
The sublime existence of human nature is often reflected or born in pain, but not all things born in pain are sublime.
Malice in people's hearts is unavoidable, and despair will always make people choose to release the deepest malice buried in their hearts, but Agnes is looking forward to Lani being able to control the malice in her heart with the new birth of hope.
Hope is always important.
Just like eating a bunch of grapes, some people start eating from the best one, and some people start eating from the worst one. Both are equally painful. The former will only get worse and worse, while the latter will only get worse. Always the worst one. But it is different after all, because the latter still has hope, while the former only has memories.
And Agnes hopes that everyone will be the latter, including Lani of course.
Lani does not understand Agnes's decision now, and Mr. Chester also has enough understanding of Agnes's decision.
He just nodded with a little regret, and then made a new agreement to Agnes——
"Then let's meet in the Southern Continent. Caesar's Port is a good place." Chester's eyes, which were full of colors like bone fragments and snowflakes, were still completely different from ordinary people. He looked at Agnes' other side. The brooch at the collar, "The brooch I gave you seems to be a good accessory."
Agnes subconsciously raised her hand and touched the brooch at her collar. The rose made of inlaid red glass shone like blood in the sunlight shining through the window, and a faint stream of light flowed through her fingertips. Down.
"Even if it's not as a decoration." Agnes remembers answering with a smile.
In addition to Rani's arrangement, there was also the house she bought according to her inner desires - she asked Stitch, and out of some accidental intuition, she thought maybe Stitch could use it.
The carpet taken away by Mr. Utravsky had to be disposed of by Stitch.
Therefore, Agnes now only carries some suitcases, which contain her black notebook, the rose brooch belonging to her teacher Mr. Conti, the seeds and medicines given to her by Stitch and Renes, and the seeds and medicines given to her by Frank. She has wrapped her "pastry" tightly. In addition to this, there are some gold risot and some ritual materials. As for the extraordinary items she owned, the only ones left on her were the "Laughing Mask" used to maintain her identity as "Ella Boethia", and the bracelet "Aurelio's Gift" given to her by her brother—— She hasn't used it much since she left Bodivia. After all, the maritime style is more suitable for killing all enemies; the seed Bodivia obtained was disguised as an emerald earring "Whisper of the Abyss", and Mr. Chester The "Dream Rose" given to her.
Almost everything she obtained from hunting pirates has been taken care of by her through various extraordinary gatherings or through Mr. Chester - for a "living zombie", she is the most important extraordinary weapon, and of course there are also the extraordinary weapons she made by herself. Living corpse - Capas is standing behind her like a guard.
She has not taken the initiative to pursue these - after all, "wealth" does not exist in the desires she pursues, so she does not violate the principle of "spiritual poverty". Of course, "Ella Boethia" does not need it Follow these.
Agnes reached out and pressed the wide-brimmed hat on her head, and looked up at the port in front of her.
The port of Olavi Island at nine o'clock is definitely busy. After all, it is on the "Rhoside Islands-Toscat" route, and the island itself is rich in natural resources.
The salty smell of sea water is mixed with the smell of sailors' sweat, and sometimes mixed with a bit of blood smell that Agnes can clearly distinguish through her sense of smell. Maybe it comes from some aquatic products that require a lot of fighting to catch, or maybe it comes from the source For more cruel transactions, it may also come from the people themselves.
Capas seemed a little too nervous, but at least he didn't directly attack the people around him - Agnes had given him an order not to attack before.
It seems that compared to the characteristics of the living corpse itself, the controller's orders have a higher priority. Agnes retracted her gaze from observing Capas thoughtfully.
She raised her hand and pressed Capas's shoulder. The muscles under the fabric that were so tight that they were almost spasming were as cold as iron.
"It will take a few more minutes," Agnes looked up at Capas's scarlet eyes with interest and said, "Of course, the people around you will still need to overcome it. "
Capas still couldn't see any changes in his eyes, but Agnes clearly felt that the muscles under her palms were a little tighter, and there was even a feeling that the long-deactivated flesh would cause her previous stitches to sew in the next second. The feeling of a broken needle and thread.
Agnes couldn't help but curl her lips, retracted her hand on Capas' shoulder, looked at the ship not far away, and then turned her head to look at the people coming and going behind her.
"Let's go and deal with some less friendly guys first."
