Chapter 146: We Are All Fools in the Past and the Future
The carriage drove towards the familiar stone house.
The joy of victory was at its peak, and most people went to the main roads and squares of Hovyalin to celebrate, making this place seem quite deserted.
Arnold fixed his sights on the person waiting in front of the stone house. He was not in a hurry and slowly stopped the carriage.
Avril turned around and waited for them quietly without urging them.
As soon as Vifiya appeared, his calm eyes fell on her.
She glanced at Avril, then went straight to open the door, and Avril followed her footsteps and went into the house together.
Vifiya turned around and was about to boil a pot of water when Kaharun caught up with her. He had completely adjusted himself and whispered, "I'll go."
Upon hearing this, Vifiya did not refuse and asked Avril to sit down.
"I have taken over the entire Padica Palace and abolished some of the unequal laws." Avril looked at Vifiya, explaining why she did not meet with them immediately after the plan succeeded.
When their eyes met, Vifiya did not ask her how to convince those nobles in a short time. This part might be the easiest.
Iskana's transformation cannot be achieved overnight. The moss that has accumulated over the years cannot be removed so quickly. Vifiya believes that Avril understands this as well.
The counterattack after oppression and the sudden change in status, if not well controlled, will today's women become the men of the past? Not everyone's reason can be independent among the crowd, and not everyone can think.
"I think your involvement in the riot will need to remain secret for the time being," Avril continued. She had already considered all the necessary considerations the moment she first saw you in the Palace of State. "I've ordered anyone who saw you in the palace not to reveal anything."
As a sign of sincerity, she would naturally impose the most severe price as punishment.
No matter if someone leaks the news later or someone speculates, as long as they don't admit it, this matter will always be speculation.
Vifiya nodded in agreement. Indeed, after all, this was an internal riot in Iskanar. Her and Osa's identities were sensitive here. At least they couldn't let the emperor of the empire catch them. It would also be easy for other people in Iskanar to characterize their participation as an imperial conspiracy, which would bring another layer of trouble.
"I will not forget your help. When the time is right, I will announce your achievements to the whole of Iskanar." Avril said seriously, and as she spoke, she took out an exquisite little box from behind her.
She opened the box, gently placed it on the table and pushed it over.
Just then, Kaharun came over with some hot tea. Arnold parked the carriage and came back to stand behind Vifia.
Avril glanced around and saw that everyone was already there. She said, "The Togonle badge."
Her gaze fell on Vifiya: "Whoever holds this badge is a distinguished guest of all Iskanar."
The girl opposite was reflected in her calm, deep purple eyes. Avril paused, then solemnly stated the most important purpose of the badge: "I don't know your future, and I won't speculate on your past. If you need anything, you can always come to me. If the situation becomes unbearable, return the badge, and Iskanah will mobilize the entire nation to help."
Kaharun's hand trembled as he poured the tea. Osha and Arnold were equally surprised. Like them, Vifiya did not think that what they had done was enough for this gift.
Avril stood up and looked down at Vifiya. She had a secret, and sometimes, having a secret was not a good thing.
The same goes for uniqueness. The experiment was successful on her, and Vifiya was able to use her body.
Not all exceptions represent good luck.
Just like her and Yolanda.
They were lucky enough, so they survived, but they were also unlucky enough, so they survived.
She whispered, "Thank you for letting me experience the pain again at that time."
A sentence that sounded nonsensical to Isidore and the others, the red pupils and deep purple eyes were clearly reflected in each other's eyes, everything was clear and obvious, just like when they first met, they both understood why they had a subtle trust in each other.
Vifiya extended her hand and did not refuse. She moved the badge towards herself and looked up: "I understand."
Indeed, no one knows how the future will unfold.
Seeing that she accepted it, Avril said, "I have other things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer. No need to send me off."
Without waiting for a response from Vifiya, she suddenly turned around after taking a few steps forward and asked, "Do you want to attend my succession ceremony?"
Upon hearing this, Vifiya looked at her friends, and when their eyes met, they tacitly understood each other and knew the answer.
She shook her head. "No, the opening of Mokojin Port is still pending, so we should leave."
After getting the answer, Avril didn't leave immediately. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then turned around again. Facing Vifiya's puzzled eyes, she said, "Before the magician died, he left a last word for you."
Surprise flashed across Vifiya's eyes.
Isidore and the others couldn't help but focus their attention on her.
In fact, Avril was not sure at first that the person the magician was talking about was Vifia. She just said that in the future you might meet a girl who is just like you and has exceptions. She is very interesting and you would be willing to pay some attention to her.
Avril knew what the magician's words meant, and she would be willing to trust that person and give him her trust.
She doesn't care whether this person will really exist in the future. Instead of hoping for an unknown ally, it is better to hold the weapon in her hand tightly.
So when she sensed a strange soul entering her body, she concealed her presence and chose to observe.
She looked at Vifiya intently: "It shouldn't exist because it must exist."
The magician's bloody face seemed to still be before her eyes. Aiwulit followed the magician's voice in her mind and continued, "I look forward to meeting you on the same path, whether I am dead, in the past, or in the future."
"We are but fools."
Vifiya was unable to understand the amount of information contained in these three sentences, so she lowered her eyes.
Debbie Fiorella, she repeated her name in her mind. It seemed that the magician knew more than she thought.
Kaharun blinked. Although he hadn't had time to ask them what exactly happened during the execution of the plan, just from these few words, it was obvious that they were not good things.
Osa and Arnold apparently thought of it too.
They all looked at Vifiya involuntarily. They already knew that she had her own secrets, and now because of the magician's last words, several of them felt uneasy.
Arnold rubbed his fingertips lightly and glanced at Isidore calmly, trying to see if he could see any reaction to Vifiya's "existence".
Unfortunately, his expression remained the same.
Walking on the same path as Debbie Fiorella, at least for now, they don’t think it’s a good thing. After all, her ending was not good.
Avulite withdrew her gaze from Vifia, nodded slightly, indicating that she had finished what she wanted to say, and turned to leave.
The deep purple pupils were fixed on the distant horizon. She didn't want to think about what the magician's purpose was, just like before, they were unwilling to believe that the magician was a good person.
At least to them, she is not a good person.
The stone house suddenly fell silent. Just as Kaharun was about to speak, he seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Isidore. Isidore also turned his head and looked to the side.
Ripples floated in the air, and they sensed a familiar magic. The magic circle unfolded and spit out a letter, which he took in time.
Kaharun walked over and saw a reply from Salis.
Isidore pulled out a thick stack of papers and handed part of it to Kaharun. The two of them looked through it quickly, and Vifiya and the other two remained silent without disturbing him.
It didn't take long for Kaharun to finish reading the part in his hand, and he frowned.
Debbie Fiorella's profile wasn't much different than what they'd learned, but...
He looked up: "Lady Salis has sent all the information about Debbie Fiorella."
He paused and spoke carefully: "What is recorded in it is basically not much different from what I said." As he spoke, he handed the paper in his hand to Osa who was closest to him.
"According to Debbie Fiorella's parents, she was a loner and unwilling to talk to them," Kaharun said. "But Lord Saliss gave other information. Shortly after she was born, her parents left her to be raised by other family members because they had to go test new magic. They didn't return until she was six years old."
After he explained this, Vifiya and the others understood why her parents thought she was a loner.
After reading each page, Osa handed the paper to Arnold who was closer to her. Arnold did not read it immediately, but gave it to Vifiya.
Osa said as she watched, "She was discovered being experimented on at the age of thirteen."
Hearing the doubt in her words, Kaharun explained, "She's a genius. When she was discovered, everyone thought she was just starting out, so many people were willing to plead for her."
Vifia carefully read the information sent by Salis. As Kaharun said, there was no information that required special attention. For Debbie Fiorella, many things were still a mystery.
Will Debbie Fiorella, who has become a "doll", still have memories of the past?
Vifiya concealed the thoughtful look in her eyes.
Several people looked at Isidore, who had been silent since reading the letter.
Feeling their gazes, he simply said, "The Foarella family will send a magician to check it out soon."
After all, it is the combat magic of the Foarella family. Even though Debbie Foarella was killed, she was not expelled from the family. She is still a member of the family. She pretended to be dead and hid for many years, and even continued the experiment and succeeded. The current head of the family, Xiu Foarella, will not do nothing.
As soon as he finished speaking, the letter in his hand burned to ashes. Kaharun keenly sensed that this was not the destructive magic that belonged to Salis.
Isidore was unusual.

Segarot Empire - Saint Vasok Cathedral
Benedict took the letter brought by the Patriarch.
The Patriarch lowered his head and stepped away from her. He said, "Of the two you sent to Iscana, one died in a dark room, suspected to be suicide, and the other is nowhere to be found."
The indifferent young man raised his finger slightly, and the Patriarch took the signal and stepped back.
She casually placed the letter on the candlelight. The candlelight could not dispel the dark circles under her eyes, but it could burn the unopened letter.
Suicide? Missing?
No, we will die together.
As expected.
