She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 82



Chapter 82: Broken memories.

Her father, is… the tower master Tales Archmage himself?

Although Alice had vaguely guessed from many details what Archmage Talus was going to say the moment this sentence landed, but when this sentence was really spoken. That strong sense of inconceivability still enveloped Alice completely, so that she could not react in any way and could only stand still.

Alice grew up and had many imaginations about the role of father. Most of the time, she guessed that he was a terrible person and abandoned her mother and her irresponsibly; but occasionally she would also think that maybe her father would be like Master Roma, who was not very reliable in many cases, but treated her very well. Gentle, can teach her all kinds of things. Sometimes, Alice will think back to the scene when she and Master Roma first met, thinking that it would be great if Master Roma was her father.

It’s a pity that this will never be possible.

Later, she arrived here, into the environment where her father really grew up. Sometimes, when she met the red-haired male wizards on the stairs of the tower, she would look at their faces one by one and imagine which of these people might be her father, if they were really hers. Father, what kind of story might happen with her mother. The mages of the Flamel’s house are outstanding, and every red-haired male magician Alice sees here is well-groomed. Some of these people are frivolous, some are serious, who is her mother with to have her?

Or, her father was not such an academic mage, but a wild mage who built a tower of stones in the wilderness. Alice had heard of such a person. Although the Flammel’s family was on the top of the mage, there might occasionally be such an outlier. She could clearly live a good life in the mage tower, but she must be a crazy wild mage. If her father is such a person, it seems more reasonable.

But Alice never thought, never once, that her father would be the man in front of her, the tower master archmage who was wearing a triple robe and holding a gemstone scepter in his hand, with a very young face. His appearance is completely incompatible with the so-called “father” role. If he is to be regarded as a father, it always feels like something is out of place. She had thought about it before that Lilière was too young to be Etienne’s mother, which was unimaginable and unacceptable. She didn’t expect her father to be the person in front of her.

This person is the real power of the Frammel Mage Tower. He is neither a king nor a nobleman, but even the king and nobleman have to bow to him. He stands high, with stars embroidered on his robe, and just a look in his eyes can make the earth shake. Even if we go forward and fix the time before she was born, he is also the most famous young mentor of the Frammel Mage Tower. One of the most dazzling new stars in the Mage Tower can touch the moon as long as you reach out. But her mother is so ordinary, just from an ordinary family, and she has no outstanding beauty. After having an illegitimate daughter, she can’t even find a slightly better job, and she can only rely on people. Do laundry for a living.

Why is a person like this involved with her mother?

Alice stayed for a while before stammering:

“But but but but, how is this possible?”

“The last time I met, I told you that many of our mages in the tower were not very careful about their private lives during their travels.” The arch mage showed a look of guilt, and such an expression appeared on his face. A weird dislocation, just as the fact that he admitted that he was Alice’s father also made her feel dislocation, “I was not the way you see me when I was born. I was in my twenties at that time, although it was not like Many young wizards now think that indulgence is a way to explore new boundaries of spells, but before I truly became an archmage, I was still somewhat… lost. At that time I left the east and went to the border of the country. Wandering around, sometimes, I don’t really know what I’m doing.”

Alice looked at him intently, opened her mouth, and said a word. Her voice is very soft, but very clear:

“You don’t even remember her.”

This sentence is not a condemnation, but a statement. But Alice felt her heart seemed to be broken, not for herself, but for her mother.

Why does this person remember nothing?

“I am forty-four years old.” Archmage Thales said, “When a person reaches my age, many memories will become dilapidated and blurred, and time and characters will no longer be testable. Some things will eventually become fuzzy Phantom, not only can I remember what happened, I don’t even know if it actually happened… I can only say that it was not a long-lasting relationship. It was not even a short-term relationship, it was probably just A night of indulgence… Therefore, I never thought I would have a daughter.”

The Archmage Talus said so, got up from his seat, walked around the huge writing desk, and walked to Alice.

He reached out to her, seeming to want to touch her cheek. Alice did not hide, but his fingers stopped two inches away from her. He seemed to realize that he probably didn’t have the qualifications, put down his hands, turned his head, seemed a little afraid to look at her.

The attitude of the archmage was very frank, so frank that Alice couldn’t get angry with him at all. But she was still very annoyed. She couldn’t tell who she was angry with, whether it was him or her mother, or herself, who insisted on seeking the result.

She didn’t know what she should ask him, but she still asked:

“Is it possible that you ever loved my mother? Even if… only for a moment?”

When this sentence was asked, Alice already knew the answer. But she wanted to listen to him with her own ears, as if only after hearing such a sentence, she could completely give up.

“If I said that I might have loved her, maybe you would feel better, but I can’t lie. If I ever loved someone, I won’t forget her. I think we should not be familiar with it. I’m afraid there is no love.”

Even after six years, the image of the mother is still so clear in Alice’s mind. It was hard for Alice to believe that her mother who believed in Fogner would do such an extraordinary thing to spend the Spring Festival evening with a man who was not so familiar.

The worst possibility appeared in Alice’s mind. She felt she was thirsty, but she still asked the question she feared the most:

“So, maybe you forced her?”

“impossible!”

“But you said you don’t remember anymore.”

“I don’t remember.” Archmage Tales said, “but I will not force a woman against her will.”

After saying this, he smiled awkwardly:

“It doesn’t seem to make much sense to promise you such a thing… I’m sorry.”

He seemed to want to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say. It turned out to be surprisingly clumsy at this moment. If his admirers were to see him like this, they would be very surprised.

But Alice didn’t have the time to feel this way, and her lips trembled slightly:

“You said, will my mother…for money?”

“No,” the archmage said quickly. “That’s your mother. You shouldn’t guess.”

Of course, of course, she shouldn’t guess. Alice felt that she had lost her mind and started talking nonsense.

“My birthday is October.” Alice said, “If you count forward, when my mother was pregnant with me, it was almost immediately after the end of the new year… Can you remember anything?”

She was emotional, staring at the Archmage Tales, just wanting to dig out the past from him, even if it was only a little bit, she wanted to know her mother’s past… She had to know.

“You shouldn’t count on my memory.” The archmage grinned sadly. “It is unreliable and can’t provide you with what you want to know. But I know a spell…maybe it can bring us back to the scene. To let you know what happened at that time.”

“What spell?”

“Hair is the closest part to the human brain. It will store some passing memories.” Archmage Talus said softly, “Just put the hairs of two acquaintances together, you can enter these two people. Memories from the meeting…Do you have her hair?”

“I didn’t have time.” Alice said, her nose was sore, and her eyes were sore. “She died for six years, and she didn’t even leave a tomb. Everything happened so fast, when I remembered that I should leave her behind. She was gone when she got her hair, and I would never see her again.”

She was holding back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of him. But the Archmage Thales did not look at her at this time. He was thinking about one thing:

“Have you ever thought about where all the corpses taken by the crow went?”

“They said that crows would use human corpses as materials to study mysteries, but when I came to the east, I once saw some crows on the street that were not exactly the same…those… are made of dead people’s bodies. A puppet?”

The archmage nodded:

“Your mother was a young woman when she died. As far as I know, the crows won’t be so wasteful, disassembling and selling young and beautiful bodies.”

The word “dismantling and selling” made Alice tremble.

“The relationship between the wizard and the necromancer is not that close.” The archmage said, “but I am the leader of the alliance of wizards, and I will have some contact with the leaders of the crows from time to time. If I want him to help me find an already For the dead, things are not as difficult as you think.

“Your mother must be here, east. Do you want to… see her again?”
