Chapter 213 212. Artificial Elves
After achieving their goal, Rawl and the other two left the Sanctuary and did not want to meet with anyone else in the Sanctuary again. They headed towards Roswaal's house. The king allowed Emilia to develop on her own, and if she didn't know how to do it, she would ask them for help.
"Will that woman come to see you?" Echidna asked on the way back.
"She's just like you, what do you think?" Luo Er replied.
"..." Echidna didn't say anything. With that woman's temper, she definitely knew it, but she was also very clear about the other party's purpose. She really didn't want the other party to steal the results directly.
When Echidna said this, Rawl's expression began to become strange. Judging from the attention Pandora paid to him, she probably knew everything about his coming to the Sanctuary.
But the other party did not stop it, but let the situation develop, probably wanting to steal the research results of these witches.
"That damn woman is guilty." The Arrogant Witch interrupted. She had been unhappy with her for a long time.
"Hey, you guys came out together without knowing it." A lazy voice came.
Ram and Rem looked at each other. Their lives were probably going to be even more lively from now on. These pendants had extremely obvious personality traits.
Luo Er held his forehead with his hand, not knowing whether signing these contracts was good or bad.
Not long after they left, a silver-haired girl appeared at the boundary of the sanctuary and slowly stepped into the boundary.
This time Garfiel came again. Now he would no longer be so arrogant as to call himself the strongest. He would concentrate on becoming stronger and protecting the Sanctuary.
"who are you?"
“Who am I? It doesn’t matter…” Pandora whispered, and the next moment, Garfiel fell to the ground, already fast asleep.
Pandora ignored him and walked directly towards the trial location. She knew Roll's whereabouts very well, and she knew very well that the Sanctuary was created by the Greedy Witch.
After arriving at the corresponding position, a figure was sitting decadently not far from the trial entrance. His face was thin and it was obvious that he had been in this state for a long time.
After realizing everything inside, Pandora smiled and tears flowed down her cheeks: "Bishop Rolls, I am very touched that you can move forward. I look forward to your results."
Ever since she learned about the existence of other worlds, she has become bored with this boring world. She wants to go and see the world that Luo Er talked about, to challenge the unknown, instead of continuing to repeat her boring life in this world.
"Who are you?" Roswaal noticed Pandora and looked at the girl. His intuition told him that she was dangerous and her signature fake smile and even her tears were all fake.
"I'm just a traveler passing by, but I don't want you to remember me..." The girl instantly came to Roswaal's side, and even though Roswaal was very cautious, he was still caught.
Of course, it was also because Roswaal was a little depressed. The Book of Wisdom was lost, and the guidance from Natsuki Subaru and Rawl had all failed. He no longer knew what to do next.
Lying on the ground, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. Looking at the silver-haired girl approaching him, he shook her hand, then let go. He gave up, gave up on living.
At this moment, he thought a lot, including his past experiences, especially those with his teacher. The teacher had high expectations for him and gave him the Book of Wisdom, but he still did nothing and the Book of Wisdom was also lost.
"Is there no hope of survival? Next..." Pandora took out the lust factor and stuffed it directly into the opponent's body, then whispered in his ear. After that, Roswaal fell into a coma, and Pandora stood up: "I am very interested in your next development. I wish you a pleasant journey."
After doing all this, she walked towards her destination. As expected, there was no breath left. This made the girl feel happy. She was looking forward to Roll's success.
……
In Roswaal's mansion, Rawl walked in with the twins. There was only one maid in the huge mansion.
"Who are you?" The blonde jagged girl looked at the three people, very alert.
"I'm not interested in explaining to you." Rawl flashed to his side and knocked him out before he could react.
When they came into the room, Rawl opened the door aimlessly, and Ramrem followed Rawl from beginning to end, without disturbing him or asking any questions.
Echidna didn't say anything. She understood what the other party was looking for, the artificial elf she created.
Until the last door, Luo Er opened it directly and walked into the forbidden library.
"How rude of you! Was it that Ross who told you?" The girl who was reading a book in front of the door raised her head and looked at the three people at the door.
"Child?"
"Stupid Rem, this is an elf, it must have lived for a long time." Ram corrected.
"Stop making so much noise. You haven't answered Betty's question yet." Betty put down the book.
"Echidna, this name is familiar to you, right?" Roll looked at the elf girl.
"How did you know..." How could Betty forget? That was the only happy time she had spent in four hundred years. Her friends and her mother, how could she forget them?
"I learned it from Echidna." Roll looked at the girl.
"How is it possible..." Betty thought it was impossible at first, because her mother had died four hundred years ago.
Echidna was thinking, she was very different from what she was four hundred years ago. Now she was more like the embodiment of greed, her humanity had been lost, and naturally she no longer understood many things.
She was not thinking about Betty's loneliness for hundreds of years, but about Luo Er. She was sure that she had not told Luo Er about Betty, but the other party knew it very well.
The more she came into contact with Luo Er, the more interested she became in him. This made her very excited. The days ahead would be spent exploring the unknown, which was a fatal temptation for her with her lustful nature.
"Are you that person?" Betty looked at Luo Er with expectant eyes. She had been waiting for this moment for too long and could no longer find the meaning of living.
"Would you be disappointed if I said I'm not that person?" Roll said with a smile.
"Is that it?" Betty felt she had seen a beam of light and raised her head slightly.
Ram and Rem looked at each other and saw awe of the witch in each other's eyes. I'm afraid that no matter who this elf girl is, as long as he says he is that person, he will follow her and leave.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the one you're looking for."
"Then..." Betty felt lost at first, and then a little bit unbelieving. How did he know about his mother, and why did he know she was here?
She had too many questions that she wanted answered, but when she heard the other party reject that person's identity, Betty felt it didn't matter. The only light disappeared in less than ten seconds.
"You want to know why I know Echidna and why I know of your existence, right? I've already told you, it was Echidna who told me." Roll patiently answered his question.
Betty did not reply. Her mother had died long ago. The man in front of her had a hidden aura and from his features, he was undoubtedly a human being.
"I haven't told you, but I'm becoming more and more interested in you." Echidna said. She didn't care whether she would be exposed to Betty.
Betty stared at the cloak on Roll in a daze. How could she not recognize the words? It was her mother's voice, but compared to her memory, it felt a little strange. "It's no good to ruin my show." Roll responded to Echidna.
"Is that Mom?" Betty left her seat and walked towards Luo Er. Her expression was like someone who had been extremely hungry for days and saw food, her eyes full of desire.
"Betty, I'm disappointed that you have been staying here all this time." Echidna said frankly. She had thought that Betty would leave with that man, but it was not a matter of whether that man claimed to be who he was or whether it was Betty's own choice.
Unexpectedly, Betty did nothing for so many years, which made her a little bored. As a conclusion, it really could not provide any fun for her who was greedy.
"Disappointment..." Betty was struck by lightning. She had held on for four hundred years and lived alone here for four hundred years. The once familiar faces had changed completely, and the descendants of Roswaal had changed generation after generation.
No one remembers her anymore. During that time, many people came here, and she would ask them if they were that person, although many people replied yes.
But her intuition told her that it was not the case, so she refused, refused countless times, just to protect the forbidden library left by her mother and fulfill their contract.
Now she only received a disappointing comment. If she had been encouraged, she would have persisted, but the result was disappointment. She sat down on the ground and swallowed all the words she had originally intended to say.
"This is a bit too much. Although I don't know what happened, she is not a tool for your entertainment." Rem couldn't stand it anymore and she was very angry.
Betty also had a book of wisdom in her hand, exactly the same as the one on Roswaal. Thinking of Roswaal's appearance and now seeing Betty, Rem couldn't bear it anymore.
"Tool? You may have made a mistake. She is my child, the elf I created." Echidna patiently explained the relationship between her and the girl.
Unfortunately, Betty no longer listened to anything, which disappointed her mother. She completely lost the will to live and wanted to die.
"Even so, she is not your emotional tool." Rem was very angry and clenched his fists. It was this feeling of powerlessness again, and everything he vented seemed to be hitting cotton.
"Lord Roll." Ram naturally would not watch Rem being wronged, so she looked at her man.
"Echidna, you seem to have misunderstood one thing. Following me out doesn't mean you can make Rem unhappy. If I don't cooperate, you will get nothing." Rawl said lightly. He himself was not so eager for other worlds. They already had shared memories, and he knew a lot of things.
After confirming that Luo Er's tone was serious, Echidna's tone became sincere: "I just want her to make her own decision instead of always following the path I paved for her."
"Hey, were you sent by mom to kill Betty? Then please end your life that disappoints mom." Betty raised her head, there was no light in her eyes anymore, and she wanted to die.
Luo Er did not move. At this time, Betty was afraid that Huadou would not listen to anything, so she continued: "She directly affects my future cooperation."
"Really? I understand." Echidna replied to Roll and then said to Betty: "Betty."
"Mom?" Betty raised her head. She only responded to Echidna.
"What does your book of wisdom say? Tell me the truth."
Betty opened the book of wisdom and saw that there was nothing written on it since a long time ago. She replied, "Nothing."
"Since when?"
Betty opened the book and saw only the first few lines of words. After that, there was nothing. The four hundred years of waiting, her mother's contract, and the person her mother mentioned became Betty's life goal.
I don't know when this contract started to become her shackles, causing her pain.
"Really? There won't be any up there."
"Why?" Betty looked puzzled.
"Because I wanted you to make your own choice, but judging by the results, you failed."
"Make your own choice? No, they are not that person..."
"Do you think that person chooses you, or that you choose that person? As long as it's your choice, Betty, anyone can be that person."
Echidna's words stunned Betty. Anyone could be that person? Thinking back to the people she had met in the past four hundred years, even if they said they were that person, she would have rejected them because she felt they were lying.
"Whoever you choose doesn't count as a violation of the contract. This is a test."
"Trial?"
"But you're not done yet."
"No, I just..." Betty stretched out her hand, and the next moment, her hand was held by a big hand.
"Come with me. If you refuse, use magic. If you don't use magic, I will assume that you have chosen me." Luo Er directly held Betty's hand, which caused the Book of Wisdom in her hand to fall.
Luo Er took her directly to the courtyard before Betty could react.
Betty was in a daze looking at the sky she had not seen for a long time. She left the forbidden library and broke the contract in front of her mother. This made her feel painful, but for some reason, she felt relieved in her heart. It could finally be over.
"How about you choose me? I will take you to see everything in this world and use it to fill your incomplete memories." Luo Er let go of his hand and stretched out his hand again.
Betty hesitated. On one side was eternal loneliness, and on the other was the outside world. However, the contract made her dare not reach out to respond.
"Rol, you are a little too greedy. You won't let go of both mother and daughter?" Echidna said in a playful voice.
"Mom..." Betty heard Echidna's words. Was this not punishing her for breaking the contract?
"Betty, let me say it again, this was originally a test for you, a test to make you independent. You are all a little too dependent on me." Echidna spoke without hesitation. Although she was curious about Betty's choice, she was more curious about the other world.
Betty timidly stretched out her hand and placed it on Luo'er's hand: "From today on, you are Betty's person, whether you admit it or not."
"Okay, it's a deal." Luo Er loosened his grip and hooked his fingers with the other party, making a verbal agreement.
"Mom, don't you blame Betty?" Betty didn't let go, but asked instead.
"Blame? Why? Isn't this your choice?" Echidna responded. She already knew Betty's choice, which satisfied her curiosity.
Hearing that her mother did not blame her, Betty was completely relieved and began to hold Luo's hand.
From beginning to end, Ram had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone: "Lolita control."
"Legal." Roll responded with a smile.
"Hmph." This naturally made Ram unhappy. Although it was a major sin of the Witch Cult, its popularity with women was surprisingly good.
