Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 497
At night, in the wilderness.
An altar built of branches stood tall, and the caravan carried the last body of their companion to it and sprinkled it with kerosene.
“Come on.” The old wizard Gandalf handed the torch in his hand to Belldandy.
Due to the absence of the temple priest, the lighting ceremony of the funeral could only be done by Belldandy, who took over the identity.
Belldandy did not refuse, and took the torch generously, chanting an ancient eulogy facing the altar.
As the procedure was completed, she raised her hand and threw the torch into the altar.
The dead branches covered with kerosene were instantly ignited, and the raging fire engulfed the body placed in it in an instant.
“We come from the land of ice and snow
From the place where the night sun and hot springs erupt
The hammer of the gods will push our ships to new lands
To fight for the tribe, sing and cry Valhalla
Hall of Valor, the place of the gods
I’m coming!”
The rough and low singing echoed in the wilderness, and the caravan members said their final goodbyes to their dead companions and conveyed good wishes.
And when the memorial service officially ended, a celebration of surviving the disaster also followed.
After all, good wine and food are often a good way to comfort pain.
Watching the caravan members in front of the fire quickly get rid of the pain, gather together to talk about everything, drink and eat meat, Loen couldn’t help but sigh at the tenacity of the human species in the face of suffering.
“Would you like some too? The cider produced by the Chamber of Commerce is very popular.” Gandalf smiled and threw a sheepskin wine pot to Loen, making a warm invitation to Loen.
“So famous? Then I have to try it.” Loen nodded happily and raised his hand to catch the wine pot.
Pulling out the cork, the fresh and crisp green apple flavor spreads, mixed with rich floral and honey aromas, making people feel as if they are in a lush orchard, and they can’t help but feel relaxed and happy.
Take a sip, the entrance is smooth, the flavor is subtle, slightly sweet and accompanied by a slight acidity, without astringency, and the aroma of plants can be felt in the aftertaste. At the same time, the alcohol content is not high, estimated to be around 5 degrees, which is very suitable for women to drink and mix cocktails.
“Not bad.”
As the god of wine, Lorne gave a “good” evaluation.
“Of course! The recipe of this cider was personally experimented by the president, how can it be bad?” Gandalf replied with a smile.
Lorne couldn’t help laughing when he heard this.
Holo really has a special liking for apples, and even makes a new product with apple flavor.
Just as Lorne and Gandalf, the old and young, were chatting in front of the fire, there was a commotion on the left.
Galadriel and Ciri were working together to throw Rose to the ground, and each of them held one of her hands to stop her from moving.
The spider goddess was now flushed, reeking of alcohol, and her elf-style top was slightly torn.
Apparently, after a few glasses of cider, Rose had returned to her old ways.
Fortunately, Galadriel and Ciri were watching her, otherwise, she might have run naked in public.
However, the two of them had limited power after all, and could not suppress Rose, a god, for a long time.
Seeing that Galadriel and Ciri were about to be thrown out, Lorne stepped forward and swung a knife cleanly, knocking the drunk Rose unconscious.
Without him saying anything more, Galadriel and Ciri quickly lifted Rose up and returned to the tent.
After the three of them had settled her down together, they were about to leave. The head of the Chamber of Commerce named “Belle” walked in:
“What’s wrong with your friend? Is he feeling unwell?”
I don’t know if it’s because Rose has been tormenting him badly during this period, or because Miss Belle is too friendly, the outspoken Ciri snorted:
“She is in good health, more energetic than Galadriel and me, but she is mentally ill!”
“Mentally?”
Beldandi thought for a while and suggested sincerely,
“I have learned some herbal knowledge and Said witchcraft, why don’t you let me take a look? Maybe I can help.”
“Okay, okay!”
Ciri nodded impatiently, pulled Belldandi to Rose’s bed, and urged excitedly,
“Hurry up and treat her brain! You don’t know, we are almost driven crazy by her!”
How can it be that easy?
Lorne didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head secretly.
He had treated Rose a lot along the way, but it never worked.
Although medical skills are not his specialty, with rich experience and strong strength, his level is much higher than that of ordinary priests and doctors.
How could a doctor who just met on the road have the ability to treat Rose?
Besides, the disease in Rose’s brain is the most difficult…
“Her soul seems to be divided?” Belldandi murmured after finishing the diagnosis and treatment in front of the bed.
Lorne was slightly startled and looked at Miss Belle from the human caravan with some surprise.
This woman is something.
At this time, Galadriel on the side couldn’t help but step forward and ask:
“Is there a way to cure it?”
“I don’t know, but I can try.”
Belldandi’s answer was quite frank.
After getting the answer, Galadriel and Ciri turned their heads to look at Lorne, waiting for the team leader to make a decision.
Lorne didn’t hesitate and nodded directly: “Then I’ll trouble Miss Belle.”
Anyway, Rose is already like this, how bad can the result of the treatment be?
Moreover, he was also very curious about whether this Miss Belle had any real talent.
“I’ll do my best!” Belladonti accepted the commission and immediately sat upright.
But the three waited for a while, but the female doctor didn’t take action.
Finally, Belladonti couldn’t stand it anymore and said awkwardly:
“Uh, can you go out first? I’m not used to having people watching me when I’m practicing medicine.”
The three woke up as if from a dream, so they had to look away and leave the tent.
Seeing that she was the only one left around, Belladonti breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she learned some herbal medicine and Said witchcraft, those things were useless for the patient in front of her.
In order to avoid being exposed, she had to send the three away first.
Belladonti took a deep breath, and a blue diamond-shaped gem mark appeared on her forehead. Her eyes swept across Rose’s head again, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
For some unknown reason, Rose’s soul was split into two parts by a power of destiny, forming two parts of good and evil.
When she feels enough kindness from the world, her good side will be revealed;
When the world gives her too much pain and malice, her evil side will surface.
They each lead different lives, have different emotions and thoughts, and gradually grow into a pair of twin flowers.
Like mother and daughter, and also like sisters.
But as time goes by, the power of destiny in her soul begins to dry up, and the two personalities that should have been interdependent begin to repel each other and fight for this shared body.
Although the west wind can overwhelm the east wind, the east wind can also overwhelm the west wind.
The confrontation between each other will naturally lead to the damage of the soul and personality.
And in the most recent personality rotation, her memory and emotions were seriously disordered.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to [tune] her two personalities and re-demarcate a boundary for them in the ocean of consciousness.
This method is difficult and simple.
Because, [tuning] destiny is not something that everyone can do.
Luckily, you met me.
Belldandy sighed in a professional tone, and her delicate hands plucked and twisted above Rose, as if playing an invisible harp.
Golden light-like factors emerged in the air and quietly merged into Rose’s mind.
At the same time, in the open space.
Lorne looked at the tent behind him and gradually frowned.
Although this thing was right in front of him, it seemed to be wrapped in an unknown fog, making it strangely disconnected from the surrounding world and forming an independent area.
This didn’t seem like the strength that a chamber of commerce receptionist should have. What was the origin of this Miss Belle?
Herbology… Said witchcraft… Could it be a god from the lower world of Vanaheim?
Lorne thought for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of forcing in.
The other party had no ill intentions, so there was no need to tear each other apart for a little suspicion.
Since she was chosen to treat Rose, it would be better to let her do it openly. Maybe a miracle would really happen.
~~
Three hours later.
A slender arm lifted the curtain, revealing a pale and haggard face.
“All right?” Ciri asked excitedly.
Belldandy nodded, with a forced smile on her face.
Seeing this signal, Ciri could no longer suppress her excitement and rushed in immediately.
Galadriel on the side also quickly followed.
Instead, Lorne, who was at the end, walked towards Belldandy and helped the shaky female doctor up:
“How are you? Are you okay?”
Hearing the concerned question, Belldandy showed a trace of gratitude on her face:
“It’s okay, I just consumed too much energy and am a little tired.”
“Then I’ll help you go into the house and sit for a while.”
Lorne carried Belldandy into the house without saying anything, helped her sit on a chair beside her, and poured her a cup of soothing herbal tea.
A perfect version at 16191book1bar!
Such a considerate move immediately made Bellandi feel good about it.
“Wake up! Rose is awake!”
At this time, Ciri and Galadriel, who were surrounding the bed, cheered.
Lorne looked in the direction of the voice, and his eyes fell on Rose who had just woken up.
After Bellandi’s treatment, her body had changed significantly. The silver hair that originally reached her ankles had shortened to half, and the purity and innocence on her face were replaced by mature charm.
However, since her consciousness had just recovered, her heart was still full of confusion:
“What’s wrong with me?”
“You don’t know, we were almost tortured to death by you!”
While complaining, Ciri told Rose’s glorious deeds during this period in detail.
After listening, Rose’s face was a little uncertain.
After taking all precautions, the woman still recovered.
It’s really haunting!
She cursed inwardly, then looked at the miracle doctor on the chair with gratitude:
“Ms. Belle, thank you for treating me.”
“It’s just a small favor, just as a reward for your hard work in rescuing the caravan…” Bellandi replied gently.
Then, she looked at the moonlight outside the tent, stood up and said goodbye:
“It’s getting late, I should go back.”
Feeling the sudden force on his arm, Loen stood up and understood:
“I’ll take you!”
After the two walked out of the tent for a distance, Loen saw that there was no one around, so he stopped and asked:
“Do you want me to come out for something else?”
“Well, actually, Miss Rose is not healed.”
“What do you mean?”
“Her two personalities are mutually dependent, born from extreme good and evil, just like the two sides of light and shadow. Removing either side easily will cause big problems. Therefore, I can only make her two personalities reach a balance, but I can’t really cure this disease.”
Beldandi answered frankly, with a helpless tone.
She is not a professional medical god, so naturally she doesn’t have the ability to cure diseases with one hand.
The reason why Rose’s other personality can be awakened is that through [Tuning], a boundary is artificially divided for them, temporarily stabilizing the existence of the two personalities.
Lorne rubbed his brows and asked:
“What will happen to her next?”
“The two personalities occupy the body for twelve hours each, one responsible for the day and the other for the night, thus forming a delicate balance.”
“Is there no other way?”
“Yes.” Belldandy hesitated for a moment, and finally gave the answer frankly, “In addition to allowing good and evil to coexist, you can also let the two devour each other and only keep the winner. But in this way, her personality is easy to go to extremes.”
After a pause, Belldandy added:
“Moreover, the two of them have formed different selves, which are different lives in a sense. I don’t think I have the right to decide who lives and who dies. So, you can decide which one to keep.”
“How to do it?”
“If you want to keep the innocent side, let her feel the beauty of the world as much as possible; if you want to keep the dark side, let her suffer.”
“Okay, I will find a chance to tell her your words.”
Lorne promised in a deep voice, and once again thanked Belldandy on behalf of Rose.
Hearing Lorne’s answer, Belldandy couldn’t help showing a relieved smile on her pale face.
Lorne did not make a decision arbitrarily, but like her, left the choice to the person involved. This made her feel a sense of mutual sympathy, and she also appreciated the man in front of her a little more.
Unfortunately…
Beldandi thought of her elder sister Urd’s instructions before leaving, and sighed in her heart, but a bright smile bloomed on her face:
“By the way, is there anything else you need?”
Lorne thought for a while and shook his head gently:
“No.”
“You’re welcome, you can bring up any ideas, I may be able to help!”
Seeing that Belldandi was so enthusiastic, Lorne was a little reluctant to refuse her kindness for a while, and couldn’t help but take this opportunity to ask about the recent situation of his adopted daughter Holo.
However, the moment he wanted to speak, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart for no reason.
It seemed that as long as he opened his mouth, something he had would be lost.
This wonderful intuition had saved Lorne’s life countless times in crisis.
So, he decisively believed in his intuition and waved goodbye to Belladonti:
“I appreciate your kindness, I don’t have any ideas. It’s late tonight, and we have to travel tomorrow, so you should go to bed early.”
Watching Lorne’s back gradually fade away, Belladonti stomped her feet in frustration.
Damn, I almost succeeded!
Once he made a request and I satisfied him, according to the principles of [sacrifice] and [exchange] of the Nordic God Age, I could also ask him for [reward].
——For example, take the opportunity to redeem [myself]?
This is Belladonti’s redemption plan.
Although the eldest sister Urd meant for her to interfere with the other party’s investigation of the truth of the dragon disaster and directly break the contract.
But this is related to the life and death of countless dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom, and it is a bit against her moral code to refuse to admit it so rudely.
So, Belladonti thought about it and finally came up with this wonderful idea of [equivalent exchange].
In order not to give the other party an excuse, she also took great efforts to heal Rose, and gave them the credit for saving the caravan.
After preparing for so long, this guy didn’t take the bait!
Humph, it doesn’t matter.
If you don’t speak this time, there will be next time!
I don’t believe you don’t have weaknesses and needs!
A goddess of fate snorted secretly, determined to force a sale.
At the same time, in the tent.
Galadriel and Ciri have returned to their rooms. Rose frowned deeply when she heard what Lorne brought back:
“So, she is still there?”
“Theoretically.”
“No, that kind of idiot with a head full of fantasies doesn’t deserve to live!” Rose gritted her teeth, and for some reason she hated her kind personality.
“It’s useless for you to tell me this.”
Lorne shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
However, Rose shook her head and refuted:
“No, it works!”
“?”
Lorne didn’t understand what he meant, and looked at his evil god subordinate in confusion.
Under his gaze, Rose fiercely took out a long whip covered with thorns from the magic circle and handed it to him, with a strong desire on her charming face:
“Come on, whip me!”
Lorne: “…”
