Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Her father.
Coming out of the tower owner’s office, Alice felt a little dazed.
Without knowing her father’s name, Alice didn’t know if she should relax or be disappointed at this time. Or some things are destined to have no answer, but the tower master said that he will find that person for her.
Master Tower seems to be trustworthy, but Alice still doesn’t know what kind of attitude she should face that person.
During this period of time, she lived among the believers of the night **** and those who would become the night **** believers. She had never summoned Circillian, and he was hidden in another time and space and was not close to her. However, at this time, Alice felt unspeakably lonely and depressed. Although she had not returned to the guest room where she lived alone, she could not help but call his name:
“Cecilia, Cecilia.”
He is a **** who belongs to her only, and he will show up as long as he calls. Alice felt the wind blowing over her face, her name was pronounced by him, and she looked very gentle:
“You are calling me, Alice.”
“Can I really find that person here?” Alice asked him, “Is he still alive?”
“He is still alive in this world,” Cecilian said. “I think it won’t be long before you will meet him officially. So you’d better be prepared and decide in advance when someone says to you,’This is When your father’s time, what kind of expression do you have to look at him.”
“I’m not in the mood to make a joke, Cecilian.” The girl looked depressed, “I’m very nervous, and I’m also very scared. I thought I was ready, but I really wasn’t ready yet… I think I’ll never Fa is ready. I don’t know what kind of expression I should put on, or what I should say, I don’t even know, should I hate him.”
“You don’t need to hate anyone.” Cecilian’s voice was as gentle as ever. “Although from my standpoint, I shouldn’t tell you what happened before, but your mother made the decision to give birth to you. She didn’t have no choice back then. As for that person, you don’t have to hate him or ask yourself to love him. You are just strangers who are related by blood. How do you treat him? Make a decision in an instant.”
Circelian’s words may give her a little comfort, but they are not enough to solve all her problems. The journey of exploring one’s own life experience is always full of pain, and often there is no answer that makes people feel worthwhile. But she wants to know this, wants to know all the backstory, this is the only way to make her complete.
Alice felt very confused.
In this state of mind, she could no longer play with the apprentices of the mage as usual. She was not in the mood to do something lighthearted. She remembered that there was a small maze of shrubs in the center of the building with a small garden in the middle. It was a place for mage and apprentices to meditate, and she decided to go there alone for a while.
In the process of walking there through the promenade, Alice met the female apprentice who had asked her to take the place before.
As soon as she saw Alice, she immediately grabbed her and asked with bright eyes:
“You just went to see the tower master?”
Alice nodded.
“What clothes did the tower master wear today?”
“Black silk robe.”
“Hahaha I won!” The female apprentice cheered, “Tonight’s special experiment quota is mine.”
The female apprentice ran away cheering, leaving Alice alone, dumbfounded.
Alice had heard before that these female apprentices sometimes started gambling games in the clothes of the tower master, but she always thought it was just a joke.
Alice was stunned for a moment.
Alice is worried about her father, but for this female apprentice who is only two years younger than her, “what clothes the tower master wears” is the most important thing today.
When interrupted by this naughty female apprentice, Alice’s mood changed miraculously. Looking at the female apprentice’s back, Alice suddenly felt, “Father” or something, perhaps shouldn’t worry her for so long.
According to the tower master, it will take a few more weeks anyway to find her father. Then, if you have questions about her father, leave it to Alice in a few weeks to worry about it!
Alice made this decision a little irresponsibly, she didn’t go to the garden at all, and turned back.
However, the period of “a few weeks” was obviously shorter than Alice had imagined.
Only three weeks later, Alice received the call of the tower master again.
Maybe because of the last time, Alice was not so this time, she just felt that her hands were cold, and she was sweating while she was cold. She wiped and wiped the handkerchief very distressedly, but it was of no use. In the end, she could only hold the handkerchief tightly in the palm of her hand.
When she passed by the secretary Miss Anne again, Miss Anne still did not speak to her, but she stopped her work and looked at Alice very specifically. Alice felt that Miss Anne seemed to be looking at her appearance, as if she wanted to…find another person from her face.
If another person looked at her with such eyes, Alice might not feel any special feeling, but Miss Anne’s eyes made Alice feel terrified.
Alice has been in the mage tower for so long, and heard many strange stories from the apprentices. Miss Anne is part of the legend of the Frammel Mage Tower. Not only is she indifferent to the beauty of the tower owner, but she has almost no interest in anything. She knows all the gossip rumors that may occur in the past, present and future of the Mage Tower, but her mouth is very strict, never revealing secrets, even her eyes will not reveal any secrets. Some people with a bitter mouth say that in order to get the job of this secretary, she cursed herself and let herself be. This is of course nonsense, but it also proves Miss Anne’s due diligence as a secretary.
It’s hard to imagine that Miss Anne, who is just focusing on work and not interested in anything, will pay attention to her so much. This gave Alice an unpleasant premonition, and made her think that Miss Anne must have known something particularly surprising, such as…her father’s name?
Judging from Miss Anne’s expression, her father must be a completely unexpected person.
Alice’s alarm bell sounded loudly in her heart, and she hardly dared to reach out and knock on the door of the tower’s main office, but she shouldn’t let the Archmage Talus wait too long to be so impolite.
This time the meeting seemed to be more formal than the previous two. The tower master Talus Edwards Flamel was sitting behind the huge desk, and it seemed that she had been waiting for her for a long time. He once again put on the triple robe representing the identity of the tower master, and his expression was particularly serious. When Alice came to the table, he pushed the box with the beaded crown and the letter that had been sealed with wax and stamped to her:
“The enchantment of the bead crown has been completed, and the reply to your king has been written.”
The box containing the beaded crown was open, and the beaded crown inside was enveloped by a faint soft light, which seemed to be more dazzling than before. Even Alice, who had seen this bead crown many times, was surprised for a moment by its original beauty. Alice collected these two important things and bowed her head to thank the archmage.
Ever since Alice walked into this room, the Archmage Tales had been looking at her intently, at this time he continued:
“After talking about official business, it’s time to talk about private affairs.”
The attitude of the archmage seemed surprisingly serious, which made Alice more nervous, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost drenched.
He looked at Alice and spoke to her very slowly:
“Anni sent all the secretaries she could mobilize to investigate all the mages over thirty-five years old and surnamed Flamel in the entire eastern region, but did not find anyone who might be your father. Annie’s work is very meticulous. The investigation not only included inquiring myself, but also searched all the record files, investigated the people who have died, and studied the time and whereabouts of everyone leaving the mage tower. You can rely on her investigation results, but she does not. Find someone who can fit in.”
After speaking this long paragraph, the Archmage Tales stopped and seemed to be waiting for Alice’s response.
This seems to be the final conclusion of the investigation. Alice listened carefully to every word the archmage said, and then tentatively asked:
“So… you mean… maybe my father was not from the Flamel family?”
The archmage shook his head:
“The red hair of the Flamel family is extremely special. So far, this color has not appeared on anyone who has nothing to do with the Flamel family.”
The Archmage’s statement made Alice even more confused:
“Then what do you mean?”
The Arch Mage’s face was terribly pale at this time. He seemed to be trying to maintain his composure. Alice was surprised to find that his voice looked a little hoarse, and his tone changed a little:
“Annie almost has the authority to inquire about all files and ask questions to everyone, even those who have died and who have left the Frammel Mage Tower. But there is only one person’s file she has no right to retrieve, and there is only one person. She would never ask.”
Alice heard a surprising possibility in the voice of the archmage. She was so nervous, she bit her lip and looked at him intently.
Just listen to him continue to say:
“Even I was surprised, but after excluding all the impossible, I can only draw one conclusion in the end—”
Even a person like Talus Archmage needs a lot of extra courage to say such a sentence. Alice looked at him. When the two people faced each other, Alice suddenly realized that his eyes were almost exactly the same as hers…At this time, all the details seemed to point to him, but is it really him? She couldn’t believe it or guess, and the person in front of her finally spit out the sentence that could serve as the final conclusion:
“Your father is me.”
