Chapter 491 Come, hit me!
Night falls, wilderness.
An altar made of tree branches stood tall. The caravan members carried the body of their last companion onto it and sprinkled it with kerosene.
"Come here." The old wizard Gandalf handed the torch to Belldandy.
Due to the absence of the temple priest, the lighting ceremony of the funeral had to be carried out by Belldandi, who took over his position.
Belldandi did not refuse. She took the torch generously and chanted 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 quickly engulfed the body placed in them.
“We come from the land of ice and snow
From the place of the dark sun and the erupting hot springs
The Hammer of the Gods will propel our ships to new lands
To fight for the tribe to sing and cry Walhala
Valhalla, the House of the Gods
I am coming! "
The rough and low singing voices echoed in the wilderness, as the caravan members said their final farewell to their deceased companions and conveyed their best wishes.
And when the memorial service officially ended, a celebration of survival followed.
After all, good wine and good food are often the best remedies for pain.
Watching the caravan members in front of the fire quickly get rid of their suffering, gather together to chat, 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? This is the Guild's specialty cider, and it's very popular." Gandalf smiled and threw a sheepskin wine jug over, extending a warm invitation to Loen.
"So famous? Then I have to try it." Loen nodded happily and raised his hand to take the wine jug.
When you pull out the cork, the fresh and crisp green apple flavor fills the air, mixed with rich floral and honey aromas, making you feel as if you are in a lush orchard, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Take a sip, it is smooth, with a light flavor, slightly sweet and slightly sour, without any astringency, and you can still feel the aroma of plants 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 for this cider was personally experimented by the president, how could it be wrong?" Gandalf replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Luo En couldn't help but laugh.
That girl Holo really has a special liking for apples. She even made a new apple-flavored wine.
Just as Lorne and Gandalf, an old and young couple, were sitting in front of the fire chatting, there was a commotion on the left.
Galadriel and Ciri were working together to knock Rose to the ground, and each of them held one of her hands to prevent her from moving.
The spider goddess was now flushed and reeking of alcohol, with her elf-style top slightly torn open.
Apparently, after a few glasses of cider, Rose was back to her old ways.
Fortunately, Galadriel and Ciri were watching her, otherwise she might have really run naked in public.
However, the two of them had limited power after all, and could not suppress Rose, a god, for long.
Seeing that Galadriel and Ciri were about to be blown away, Lorne stepped forward and swung his knife cleanly, knocking the drunken Rose unconscious.
Without him saying anything more, Galadriel and Ciri quickly carried Rose and returned to the tent.
After the three of them had settled him down, they were about to leave when the head of the Chamber of Commerce named "Belle" walked in:
"What happened to your friend? Is he feeling unwell?"
I don’t know whether it’s because Rose has been tormenting me so much recently, or because Miss Belle is so friendly, but the outspoken Ciri snorted:
"She is in good health, more energetic than Galadriel and I, but she is mentally ill!"
"Spiritually?"
Belldandy thought about it and suggested sincerely,
"I have learned some knowledge of herbs and Said witchcraft. Why don't you let me take a look? Maybe I can help."
"Okay, okay!"
Ciri nodded impatiently, pulled Belldandy to Rose's bed, and urged excitedly,
"Hurry up and heal her brain! You don't know, she's almost driving us crazy!"
How can it be that easy?
Luo En didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head secretly.
Along the way, he treated Rose many times, but to no avail.
Although medicine is not his specialty, with his rich experience and strong strength, his level is much higher than that of ordinary priests and doctors.
How is it possible that any random doctor you meet on the street has the ability to treat Rose?
Besides, Rose's brain disease is the most difficult one...
"Her soul seems to be divided?" Belldandi murmured as he finished the treatment at the bedside.
Loen was slightly startled and looked at Miss Belle from the human caravan with some surprise.
There's something about this woman.
At this time, Galadriel on the side couldn't help but step forward and ask:
“Is there a cure?”
"I don't know, but I can try."
Belldandy's answer was quite frank.
After getting the answer, Galadriel and Ciri turned to look at Lorne, waiting for the team leader to make a decision.
Luo En didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Belle."
Rose is already like this anyway, so how bad can the results of the treatment be?
Moreover, he was also very curious about whether this Miss Belle had any real talent.
"I'll do my best!" Belldandi accepted the commission and immediately sat up straight.
But the three of them waited for a while, but the female doctor did not take any action.
Finally, Belldandy couldn't stand it anymore and said with a little embarrassment:
"Uh, could you guys please leave first? I'm not used to having people watching me while I'm practicing medicine."
The three of them woke up as if from a dream, and had to look away and leave the tent.
Seeing that she was the only one around, Belldandy breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had learned some herbology and Sayid witchcraft, those things were of no use to the patient in front of her.
In order to avoid being exposed, they had to send the three people away first.
Belldandi took a deep breath, and a blue diamond-shaped gem mark appeared on his forehead. His sharp eyes swept across Rose's head again, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
For unknown reasons, Rose's soul was split into two by the power of destiny, forming two parts of good and evil.
When you sense enough kindness from the world, the good side of you will emerge;
When the world gives her too much pain and malice, the evil side will surface.
They each lead a different life, possess different emotions and thoughts, and gradually grow into a pair of twin flowers.
Like mother and daughter, also like sisters.
But as time went by, the power of destiny in her soul began to dry up, and the two personalities that should have been interdependent began 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 them will naturally lead to damage to the soul and personality.
During her most recent personality alternation, her memory and emotions became severely disrupted.
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to [tune] her two personalities and re-draw a boundary between them in the ocean of consciousness.
This method is difficult and simple at the same time.
Because, not everyone can [tune] their destiny.
Fortunately, you met me.
Belldandi uttered an exclamation in a professional tone, and her slender hands plucked and picked at Rose, as if she was playing an invisible harp.
A golden light-like factor emerged in the air and quietly merged into Rose's mind.
Meanwhile, in the open space.
Loen looked at the tent behind him and gradually frowned.
Although this thing is right in front of us, it seems to be surrounded by an unknown fog, making it strangely disconnected from the surrounding world and forming an independent area.
This doesn't seem like the ability that a Chamber of Commerce receptionist should have. Who is this Miss Belle?
Herbology...Thed witchcraft... Could it be some god from the underworld of Vanaheim?
Loen thought for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of breaking in.
The other party has no ill intentions, so there is no need to fall out over a little suspicion.
Since we have chosen to let her treat Rose, we might as well let her do it openly. Maybe a miracle will really happen.
~~
Three hours later.
A slender arm lifted the curtain, revealing a pale and haggard face.
"Okay?" Ciri asked excitedly.
Belldandy nodded, a somewhat forced smile on his face.
Seeing this signal, Ciri could no longer contain her excitement and rushed in immediately.
Galadriel beside her also quickly followed.
Instead, Lorne, who was the last one to fall, walked towards Belldandy and helped the shaky female doctor up:
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Hearing the concerned question, Belldandy showed a hint of gratitude on his face:
"It's okay, I just used up too much energy and I'm a little tired."
"Then I'll help you go inside and sit for a while."
Without saying a word, Lorne carried Belldandy into the house, helped her sit on a chair nearby, and poured her a cup of soothing herbal tea.
Such a thoughtful gesture immediately impressed Bellandi.
"Wake up! Rose is awake!"
At this moment, Ciri and Galadriel, who were standing around the bed, cheered.
Loen looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes fell on Rose who had just woken up.
After Belldandi's treatment, her body has undergone obvious changes. The silver hair that originally reached her ankles has been shortened to half its original length, and the innocence and innocence on her face have been replaced by a mature charm.
However, since she had just regained consciousness, 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 recounted in detail all the glorious deeds that Rose had done during this period.
After hearing this, Rose's face looked uncertain.
Despite all the precautions, the woman finally revived.
It's really haunting!
She cursed inwardly, then looked at the miracle doctor on the chair with gratitude:
"Thank you for treating me, Miss Belle."
"It's just a small favor. Consider it 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, Lorne understood and stood up:
"I send you!"
After the two walked out of the tent for a distance, Luo En saw that there was no one around, so he stopped and asked:
"You called me out for something else?"
"Well, actually, Miss Rose is not fully recovered."
"What do you mean?"
"Her two personalities are interdependent, 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."
Belldandy answered honestly, with a somewhat helpless tone.
She is not a professional medical expert, so naturally she does not have the ability to cure any disease with ease.
The reason why Rose's other personality could be awakened was simply by using [Tuning] to artificially divide a boundary between them and temporarily stabilize the existence of the two personalities.
Luo En rubbed his brows and asked:
"So what will happen to her next?"
"The two personalities each occupy the body for twelve hours, one for the day and one for the night, thus forming a delicate balance."
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes." Belldandy hesitated for a moment, and finally gave the answer honestly, "In addition to allowing good and evil to coexist, they can also let the two devour each other, leaving only the final winner. However, in this way, her personality is prone to extremes."
After a pause, Belldandy added:
"Besides, the two of them have already 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, it's up to you guys to decide which one you want to keep."
"How?"
"If you want to keep her innocent side, let her feel the beauty of the world as much as possible; if you want to keep her dark side, let her suffer."
"Okay, I'll find a chance to tell her what you said."
Lorne assured in a deep voice and once again thanked Bellandi on behalf of Rose.
Hearing Loen's answer, Belldandi couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on his 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 admiration, and she also had a little more appreciation for the man in front of her.
pity……
Belldandy thought of her elder sister Urd's instructions before she left, and sighed inwardly, but a bright smile bloomed on her face:
"By the way, is there anything else you need?"
Luo En thought for a while and shook his head gently:
“No.”
"You're welcome, feel free to bring up any ideas you have, I might be able to help!"
Seeing Bellandi's enthusiasm, Loen felt a little reluctant to refuse her kindness and wanted to take this opportunity to ask about his adopted daughter Holo's recent situation.
However, the moment he was about to speak, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.
It was as if as soon as he opened his mouth, something he possessed would be lost.
This wonderful intuition has saved Loen's life countless times in crises.
So, he decisively trusted his intuition and waved goodbye to Belldandy:
"I appreciate your kindness. I don't have any other thoughts. It's late tonight and we have to travel tomorrow. You should go to bed early."
Watching Lorne's back gradually walking away, Bellandi stomped her feet in frustration.
Damn, it almost worked!
Once he makes a request and I satisfy it, I can then ask for [reward] from him according to the principles of [sacrifice] and [exchange] of the Norse Age of Gods.
——For example, taking the opportunity to redeem [myself]?
This is the redemption plan formulated by Belldandy.
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 matter concerns the life and death of countless dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom, and it is a bit against her moral code to deny it so rudely.
So, Belldandis thought about it and finally came up with the brilliant idea of "equivalent exchange".
In order not to give the other party an excuse, she also took great pains to heal Rose and gave the four of them credit for saving the caravan.
After preparing for so long, this guy didn't take the bait!
Humph, never mind.
If you don’t speak this time, there will be next time!
I don’t believe that you have no weaknesses or needs!
A certain goddess of fate snorted secretly, determined to force a sale.
At the same time, in the tent.
Galadriel and Ciri had already returned to their rooms. Rose frowned deeply after hearing what Lorne had said:
"So, she's still here?"
"In theory, yes."
"No, that kind of idiot with a head full of fantasies doesn't deserve to live!" Rose gritted her teeth. For some reason, she hated the kind side of her personality.
"It's no use telling me this."
Lorne shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
However, Rose shook her head and retorted:
“No, it works!”
"?"
Loen 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 diagram and handed it to him, with a strong desire on her charming face:
"Come on, hit me!"
Luo En: “…”
