Chapter 354 Girl’s Heart
At noon, the ruins of the War of Gods are bathed in direct sunlight, with no clouds and no sun in sight, a golden expanse.
At the boundary between the normal sea and the ruins of the divine war, there is a huge chasm. It is bottomless, and below it is a darkness that seems to devour everything. Even the seawater itself has an eerie, abnormal transparency.
When Klein heard Cattleya introduce the many out-of-control demigods and ancient evil creatures here, he initially thought that the female pirate's next sentence was "I need more money." Fortunately, Cattleya was on the Hermit Path, and she was just giving a normal explanation and introduction.
"What's even stranger is that the monsters you kill here may not be real. They can kill us, but they leave nothing behind after they die."
"You should be glad you asked us to bring you here. It's very dangerous to deviate from the safe course here. You might turn into a wax figure without doing anything, your flesh and blood melting into mud. This is very dangerous for extraordinary beings like us."
Cattleya had only been saved by the Fool once, and she felt that if she were in danger again, the Fool would be willing to save her and the world again. That's why she dared to bring Klein here. She hadn't come here alone much before; the few times she had come were when she was on the Dawn with Bernadette on an exploration.
"And what about those extraordinary beings at an even higher level?"
Klein continued, asking the question.
"Unless you restrain yourself, you will hear things you shouldn't hear."
"Like heartbeats or something."
Cattleya said with a faint smile.
What are you laughing at?
Klein was puzzled, but he keenly noticed that Cattleya wasn't looking at him. He quickly turned around and found a woman on the deck behind him. She was wearing an old-fashioned black soft hat with a black veil hanging down, obscuring her face.
Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, Klein still recognized her as the mysterious woman who had grabbed him once at the Roselle Memorial. Judging from Cattleya's reaction, she was undoubtedly the mysterious queen, Bernadette, the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle.
You don't recognize me, do you?
The "Faceless Man" controlled his facial expressions, but he was still inwardly panicking.
"German Sparrow?"
Bernadette's question remained, but her tone was quite certain.
"You know?"
Klein's tone was somewhat cold and hard.
"This identity was obtained through Dawn of Elements' channels."
Bernadette scoffed and glanced at Chael beside her.
This is such a cute little guy.
Xia Er ignored Huang Beibei's gaze, walked to the deck and felt the sea breeze. He smiled slightly. How could he talk to his Uncle Zhou like that?
Bernadette stopped looking at Klein and walked over to Chael to admire the sea view.
However, in the eyes of everyone on the Dawn, only Bernadette appeared on the ship.
Klein wondered if it was revenge from the Dice of Fate, but Sharon and Marich's channel was actually the Dawn of Elements.
Huang Jiajia abandoned Klein and ran to Bernadette's side, asking, "Why are you here?" She didn't even tell me beforehand... Huang Jiajia swallowed the rest of her sentence.
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
Bernadette spoke casually, and Cattleya was so happy she wanted to dance. She lowered her head slightly, and Bernadette dismissed her with just a few words.
Xia Er remained silent, though he clearly remembered that it was he who had suggested coming.
Moreover, he remembered that Bernadette was not like this in his memory.
"That's how you played me back then."
Bernadette thought of her past self, how easily she had been deceived, treating that guy as her most important teacher, and even rebelling against her father for it, which angered her father so much that he beat her two younger brothers. She really wanted to... really wanted to get revenge.
"No, I am definitely the one who understands you the most and supports you the most."
Xia Er, of course, denied it. He believed that what he hadn't done was as good as not having happened, and he knew himself well.
"You are a terrible teacher."
Bernadette almost lost her composure and could only angrily refute Chael.
She felt that her childhood experiences were a shame she could never wash away. As she gradually developed her own thoughts and ideas, she regarded him as her confidant and mentor. However, she found that all this recognition and understanding was an act, and only the encouragement of dubious origin was genuine.
"Do you often toy with other girls' feelings like this?"
Bernadette composed herself, for she was, after all, a seasoned hermit, well-versed in the art of observing from the sidelines and detaching herself from the world.
"No, such opportunities are rare."
Xia Er shook his head. He had argued with Miss Justice and snatched Fors's blanket. Other times, those relationships were inappropriate in terms of identity and environment. The only one that was relatively close was Soren. However, after that guy turned into a man, his way of getting along with her changed. He simply treated women like men.
During the Roselle era, he was probably quite carefree, since he could wait for Huang to die without any psychological burden, and he could play however he wanted before Huang died.
Bernadette's brow relaxed upon hearing this, but she soon heard Chael's smiling words, "Besides, other people's kids are much more fun."
Bernadette, annoyed, used her inherited soul technique to pinch soft flesh, saying, "You'd better stop acting like this."
She also threatened him fiercely, saying that if Xia Er dared to pretend to be in pain, then he shouldn't blame her for making his journey more difficult.
However, Chael looked at Bernadette with pity in her eyes. A layer of translucent, soft yet incredibly resilient dragon scales clung to her body. Without using magic, Bernadette's arm strength was less than that of a mosquito; at least a mosquito could bite her.
"Isn't that an outdated tactic?"
Bernadette snorted and withdrew her hand, then threw the plucked transparent scales on the ground. A sea breeze blew, and the illusory scales disappeared like bubbles.
"Is it outdated?"
"Alright, the scenery at sea isn't anything special."
Xia Er smiled, turned around and moved a deck chair to a good spot for a view. He lay down and looked up to see the female pirate Nina's hot figure on the observation deck, as well as the very over-the-top Huns. He closed his eyes and listened to the noise of the Star Pirate Crew around him.
Bernadette glanced at Nina and thought that Chael was not like an angel at all, but she thought of Roselle Sequence III... After becoming consul, his interest in women dwindled, he overthrew the republic, rebuilt the empire, and after calling himself Caesar, he became even more ruthless, just like a true emperor.
In comparison, she found that although her teacher sometimes didn't act like an archangel, she was still very humane.
She also behaved in a rare and uncharacteristic way, shedding her airs as a mysterious queen on Cattleya's ship, lying on a deck chair nearby, minimizing her presence, and enjoying the lively atmosphere on the "Future".
