Chapter 272 She Has Lost Everything
The effect was quite good. The monster's flesh and soil, which were originally difficult to separate, were successfully separated. The previous Pirate King's Court had turned into a huge pit. Right under the monster, the monster entrenched in the Pirate King's Court was now hanging above the huge pit. Long polluted snakes pulled the monster from all around the pit, causing it to stagger but not fall.
To be honest, it's a bit funny.
Now it became easy to put on the lifting rope. The banshees went down from the four sides of the pit and came out from the other side, and the rope passed under the monster.
The Skyshroud Behemoth slowly came above the monster, pulled up the rope, and threw away all the ballast stones.
The huge airship brought unimaginable lift, and the monster's entire body was pulled into the air. Only endless snakes of pollution were still connected. At this time, people could finally see its full picture.
It seemed to be an extremely huge octopus, as big as a hill. It no longer had any trace of its former human appearance and looked more like some kind of monster from the deep sea.
The tentacles of this octopus are densely packed and extend to an unknown distance. These long snakes of pollution are like a big net, a net that covers the entire Storm Ocean.
There was no sea water on the earth long ago, and the original seabed had dried up. The airship successfully pulled the monster up without much effort.
At this time, the construction of the furnace on Castel Island was nearing completion. Although the supporting equipment had not been fully completed, the main furnace was ready for use.
Zeus decided to try burning it first. He had long been fed up with the space where the Temple of Poseidon was located and wanted to try to see if he could leave.
On this day, Monica, Nini, and Gaia gathered in front of the huge furnace. This ceremony would be performed by the three of them together.
Previously, the Iron Prayer was performed by the trio of Chloe, Monica and Gaia. Now Chloe is dead, Monica has changed, and only Gaia is still there.
The expression on her face also became much more serious. She was no longer the little girl who was curious about everything. Only when she smiled could you see her previous appearance.
Xius looked at the three people in front of him with a lot of emotions. Everything had changed unconsciously. At that time, he just felt that it was normal. The three people who used to give him headaches every day were no longer seen now.
No one blew up the toilet at the Eastern Test Site. Well, this one is not worth remembering.
The ceremony began quickly. Gaia smeared holy oil on the furnace with ease. Monica danced in the dim candlelight, holding various holy objects. Her figure had grown bigger. If the previous ceremony just seemed funny, now it had a bit of evil and elegance.
Nini chanted the prayer softly - she didn't memorize it, but thanks to the reminders of other banshees in the mental link, her chanting was relatively smooth.
Hughes couldn't help but sigh as he watched Nini chanting her prayers.
He hadn't seen Chloe for a long time, but the girl's orange-red hair still often appeared in his mind. He should have gradually forgotten the old friend, but he could not forget her.
Looking at the ceremony in front of him, he suddenly remembered the prayer that Chloe had chanted before. She had memorized it very fluently, and her short hair looked like dancing fire in the dim factory.
The time that we did not cherish at that time will never be seen again in the blink of an eye, and we can only search for it again and again in our memories.
With such emotion, Hughes walked forward and placed Chloe's diary on top.
A group of people were dancing and chanting prayers below, and Chloe's diary was placed right above it, with a portrait of her next to it.
Black and white.
〖 ？ ？ 〗
"Uh, don't you think this is a bit weird?"
"Can you please take me down? Or at least take that painting down. It looks so weird!"
Chloe's handwriting appeared in the diary.
Hughes hurried forward, took out a pen and started writing.
[This is to give you some sense of involvement.]
〖.〗
"Or you could just take me down."
Hughes shook his head, looking serious:
[How can this be? In order to commemorate your sacrifice and to allow you to see the future development of Castel, you will be taken out and hung on it on various important occasions in the future. The Skitarii and the Fire Moths can also remember the martyrs. ]
〖But the martyr you are commemorating is me. You are commemorating me, but it is embarrassing for me to be hung up here!〗
[How could that be? This is a very sacred ceremony. Look, there is a portrait of you next to it. Gaia is crying. She actually misses you very much.]
〖.〗
This time Chloe was silent.
Gaia was indeed crying. She performed the ritual meticulously, her hands did not tremble at all, but big tears just streamed down her face.
In the dim firelight, her tears occasionally reflected the fire, adding a little light to her wooden face.
She is Chloe's best friend and Chloe is her favorite person.
There had once been a Monica, but now she had lost those memories.
Gaia has always been a very lonely person. Before Zeus came to the island, her happiest time of the day was when her brother and father came home every night and she would listen to them tell stories about the outside world while having dinner.
Later she was able to go to school. She studied very hard and always got first place in grades. Zoe always praised her for her talent and hard work.
She herself couldn't tell whether she liked it or was afraid of losing this kind of life.
At that time, she felt that as long as she worked hard, everything would be fine. Indeed, she attended the advanced class and met Chloe and Monica. Both of them were crazy and always got into trouble, and every time they got her scolded.
They were very nice to her and they were together every day.
Later, her brother left the island by boat and never came back. She would sit on the steps of the school every day in a daze. Later, the school was occupied by the fishmen, and she had no place to daydream.
Later, Monica disappeared, and her memory was left empty again.
Chloe took an airship to explore the sea full of monsters. She cried and hugged her. The carefree girl patted her on the back to comfort her, telling her not to worry and to just bring her more explosives.
She nodded. She had checked it many times and the explosives were safe. She was the most careful person.
She felt more relieved because all the explosives were made by her and she had confidence.
But what came was bad news.
There was no problem with her explosives, but Chloe still died.
There was no body, no last words. Chloe had read the message that she had conveyed with her life from Hughes. She said nothing, but returned to the factory, returned to the production line, and continued to make explosives for Castel.
Her last friend also left.
Gaia is a very strong person. She completed the task meticulously and helped Caster overcome the difficulties.
There was no one behind her, how could she fall down?
Many people have communicated with Chloe in blood in their diaries, but Gaia did not. When Hughes put the diary in front of her, she refused. When she pushed the diary away, she felt empty in her heart.
She couldn't tell whether she was afraid to face it or unable to forgive.
Chloe was silent, Monica was silent too, they looked at their former friend but didn't know how to comfort her.
They can never go back to the way they were before.
