(This is not "revelation", but "care". It's just that I can't bear to show the cruel reality in front of the simple and kind Miss Polly.) There were tense fluctuations of magical power around Helena's body. The chains in Selina's hands shot out, and the rotating cross attached to each chain left deep wounds on the nun's body. However, the nun's magical creation is more than flesh and blood, or rather, her flesh and blood is more like leather. After putting it on, an alien being can pretend to be a human and blend into the crowd. In a flash, the punishment magic peeled off the skin, the third eye wandered on the nun's forehead, the second pair of arms stretched from the nun's ribs, and the second mouth opened on the nun's abdomen. These alien structures were the same as the magical creations that now made up the nun's body. They were ivory white in color, with bright star-like spots densely arranged within them. Chapter 88: Invasion Selina examined the alien creature in front of her, and after a moment, she had to admit that judging by the standards of the witch in the "Fool" realm, this alien body was close to perfect. In the magic of the "Fool" realm, materials, language and actions are all indispensable. Two mouths and two pairs of arms will give Helena the upper hand in the quantity and speed of magic. However, that is just judging by the standards of the "Fool" field. Selina made the chains around her ripple, and they spun around Helena, like a storm coming. The discipline magic compressed towards the eye of the storm, extinguishing the stars on the nun's body.
The wind whistled and the chains trembled, but Helena's voice was clearly transmitted to her mind, which was a wailing sound of many painful voices overlapping each other. People's happiness is similar, but everyone has their own reasons for grief. Forcibly overlapping different griefs together will ultimately cast a mental pollution-like impact on Selina's mind. In the midst of pain, the sadness that Selena had not experienced was pure noise, while the part she had experienced triggered her memories. Many memories from different periods emerged at the same time, blocking her thinking and bringing confusion and pain to her soul as if it was being torn apart. Selina opened her waist bag and took out a bottle of potion. The rising blue smoke made the surroundings quiet. Then, she took another bottle of potion, which was mainly made of mint concentrate, which restored her painful and cold sobriety. "I see. No wonder the nuns in the Fool's domain operate as a religious organization and conduct confessions with guests. You are collecting the suffering of others to achieve your own magic." Selina tightened the chains: "Let me see what else you can do!" "The nun can't do anything." A man's voice sounded behind Selina. Selina's pupils constricted, the chains crisscrossed behind her, and the scimitar's slash left a series of sparks on them. She turned around slowly, and chains appeared around her body one after another, blocking the slashes and hacks coming from different angles. The man holding two knives launched continuous attacks. Overwhelmed by his momentum and the shocking facts that she had not yet digested, Selina instinctively chose to defend herself. She fought and retreated, and with a series of crisp knocking sounds, a small number of chains were cut off and fell to the ground, while most of the chains completed the defensive task, weaving a reassuring grid shield in front of her. The man raised his arm, and Selina stretched out her hand. A chain peeled off from the "shield" and slashed across the enemy's hand, but the man blocked it with his knife, and also dealt with the punishment magic above. The warden's counterattack ended the man's attack. She clenched her fists as she looked at Tang Rodik, who appeared in front of her in a male form holding two knives. She said in a trembling voice: "No, how could you?" "Are you disappointed?" asked Don Rodick. Selena took a quick look and found that the last confidant of Count Marseille had died, but the Count had also completed his poem. Corneille was fighting with the paper man and the outcome was still undecided, so it was impossible that Count Marseille had lifted the magic. So, how did Don Rodic return to health? Doctor Cecil's medical skills? Sister Helena's "revelation"? The Longueville family's secrets? Isabella Trastamara... Selina thought of many names, but she rejected them one by one. Obviously, if the above people could undo Don Rodick's gender change, then Corneille would not have to be here.
Tang Rodik took the initiative to explain: "I asked Her Highness Ingrid to help me. She used the 'Snake Eyes' to transform me back to my original form. It is similar to the nun's sacrificial magic. The principle is to hold the precious things in the present in your hands by sacrificing the precious things that exist in the future. I regained my original body and restored all my memories, but in exchange, I would be turned back into a woman in a week...never again, and lose all my memories. So, I asked the nun to let me meet with my old friends at the right time. I want to settle all the grudges as soon as possible." “That’s not a fair exchange.” "First of all, even if Mr. Corneille defeats little Marceau and stops his interference, my body and mind have been severely injured. I am also old and my recovery ability is limited. I can only rely on turning into a woman and then introducing magic to repair my body. Secondly, I want to give back to the new friends I’ve made. I don’t want them to shed tears in front of my coffin too early, and I don’t want their investment to go unrewarded… I want to try to live longer. These two points determine that no matter how things end, I will continue to live as a woman. Then, the part about memory is simple. It is painful for Don Rodick to remember the past - revenge cannot eliminate the pain of betrayal; But this is only part of the pain. The greater pain lies in the fact that the once legendary warrior Don Rodick is becoming a woman due to physical changes. It was okay when I was full of fanatical thoughts of revenge, and when I became No. 96. But once I regained my rationality, once the fireworks of revenge were about to die out, leading to a seemingly bright future, I realized the terrible truth. I am a man. Reason tells me that I am a man, memory tells me that I am a man, and male dignity tells me that I must be a man. But my body, senses, and the sensibility derived from them tell me that Don Rodick is now a woman...both physically and mentally. My body temperature dropped, my heartbeat slowed, so I longed for a warm place, warm meals, clothes, and drinks more than before; I became a crybaby, and I would shed tears when I was emotional. I would feel lonely and long to act like a spoiled child to others and be cared for by others. I became very concerned about my appearance, what I wore, and what others thought of me. I became uncomfortable when others stared at me. I began to mind men and lost my desire for women. One night, I even had a dream that I married a man and gave birth to a child. We held the baby together, full of joy. " Tang Rodik laughed, his laughter was desolate: "This is the ultimate insult to the 'legendary warrior Tang Rodik'. I didn't expect that the one who tarnished Tang Rodik and damaged his character the most was me. I can't do that. Don Rodique is not a woman. She won't weakly seek a warm place. She won't be delicate. She won't be a crybaby or act like a spoiled child to others. It is even more impossible for her to desire a man or give birth to a child. But, damn this body, it changed me more effectively than any magic or divine art. I can't control my body, it just erodes and changes my thoughts. No matter how I resist, I am turning into a woman, becoming more and more like a woman day by day! I want to stop it, but how can I stop the change? Look at Isabella, the Queen of the Forest, there is still a hint of Irian in her? She is shameless and enjoys it, but I can't accept it! Dignity only teaches me to feel humiliation and pain from it! No. 96 is Don Rodic, the continuation of my life, but definitely not the legendary warrior Don Rodic! Gender change is the process of the original person being replaced and invaded, and becoming another person. I will no longer be myself. My understanding of men will become my secret weapon as a woman to tease and control men. Even Don Rodick's identity will become an alluring interest... What a terrible thing. " Don Rodick's nails pierced into his palm too hard, and blood first dyed the hilt red, and then fell into the soil from the edge of his palm. He took a few deep breaths and slowly regained his composure: "Then the only thing I can do is to put an end to Don Rodick before time turns him into a woman. The complete disappearance of memory is equivalent to the death of personality. Although it seems a bit like escaping, that's what I think. Let Don Rodick die, at least this time, he died as a man. He was already pitiful enough, there was no need to make him become a woman, add humiliation to his pitiful life, endure the torture of gender change, and humiliate himself. That’s enough. I will leave No. 96 to my friends to continue to repay their kindness. With them around, I can rest assured to bless her future, but there will be no place for me there. So, come on, while Don Rodick is still in this world, let’s end everything!”
Chapter 89 Selina's Memories Selina shouldn't waste time in battle, but old feelings made her stop and listen to Don Rodick's voice. Afterwards, she calmly replied: "It doesn't matter if you become No. 96 with normal intelligence. No matter how this matter ends, you can still be happy: The happiness of being imprisoned and protected by me in the Tower of Discipline, or the happiness of being a guard in Toledo Mansion. That's good. You just spend your life in ignorance, feeling ordinary joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and then die in peace. I wanted to live this kind of life with you... I'm sorry, Robbie, you will forget me, but I think I will never forget you in my life." "Don't make yourself sound like a decent person or my close friend." Tang Rodick waved his hand. "From today on, we are no longer friends." "You are still so gentle and innocent." "Of course, because I will win again. When you think of me in the future, the memory will only bring you the bitterness of being defeated!" Tang Rodick moved. His outline and aura were the same as in Selina's memory, reminding her of when they first met. He was a young boy who had just gone out to explore the world with only a stolen shield. Naturally, some people saw that the shield was very valuable, but also saw that the boy holding the shield was not very strong. Extortion and robbery happened naturally, and Selena played a very disgraceful role in it. She witnessed the crime and at the right time, she knocked down all the robbers and then beat Don Rodick again. "Thank me. The divine weapon is not something you can own. I will take it away, but at least I will pay you." Selina gave all the money she had robbed from other criminals to Don Rodick. When she was studying the secret of the shield, she saw the boy struggling to crawl over and try to take the shield back. Selina had already raised her feet, filled with magical light. If she wanted, Don Rodick's head would burst like a watermelon, but the boy's firm eyes made her change her mind. She squatted down, held her cheeks and asked, "Why do the weak fight?" "For the one I love." This sentence touched Selina. In Waite, "love" was defined by the witch, who also believed that it was only a theoretical feeling. Apart from the field of "lovers", witches have many similar but ultimately different words to explain their understanding of love. She had just arrived outside and discovered that for the people here, "love" seemed to be commonplace, even a spiritual potion that sustained life, but she had no chance to explore what their "love" was like? Now, this weak boy who can be controlled by her brings an opportunity. She hopes to solve her long-standing confusion by observing his love affair. "Correct answer, I changed my mind." Selina's voice was like an oriole. She pulled up the dazed Don Rody and returned the shield to him: "My name is Selina, and I'm a witch who ran away from Waite. I will help you realize any dream you have. In exchange, let me observe your love affair." Don Rodick's approaching figure tore apart Selina's memories. After losing many of his equipment and Fortuna's protection, Don Rodick's strength was severely damaged. Considering his lifespan, his career as a warrior has come to an end, and if he wants to be useful, changing his gender and learning magic is his only option. Selina glanced in Helena's direction. The nun was still suppressed by her in the storm of chains. She was surprisingly quiet and seemed to be planning to watch the battle from the sidelines. She continued to suppress the nun with her right hand, and the chain in her left hand burst out. She saw Don Rodick wielding a scimitar. The fire and the sound of the blade sliding on the chain pulled her into new memories.
Don Rodic joined the mercenary group, which was one of the few ways for poor people to quickly get ahead. The Toledo family, a wealthy family in Eagle County of the Highland State, was one example. When seeing their luxurious life today, no one would have thought that the first Duke of Alva was a poor man who came from a cowherd family. Of course, this profession is extremely risky. The occasions where they can achieve great success are also places where lives are filled up by bigwigs like consumables. Selina finally found a toy that would not let him die easily, but she lacked convenient conditions for magic supply, and also needed to learn how to fight with cold weapons and save magic. So, she spent money to find a mercenary with a good reputation for both character and ability. He was about to retire, and for the sake of his retirement and his children, he only took safe jobs and gave priority to sponsors who paid more. Selina and Don Rodick successfully joined the team, and they spent a happy summer and autumn together. Tang Rodik had a good foundation and a divine weapon, so the experienced old mercenary designed a set of quick combat skills for him with a shield as the core and a battle axe as the auxiliary to give full play to the strength advantage. As for her, she learned cold weapons more for self-protection. Seeing that she was not interested in this, the old mercenary only taught her the basic skills of one-handed saber and let her practice on her own, while he devoted most of his energy to teaching Don Rodick. From this, Selena witnessed the power of "love" for the first time - in order to achieve quick success, Don Rodick changed his diet in pursuit of a stronger physique, and suffered more beatings and more injuries. Whenever the night became quiet, the bruised and battered Don Rodick would obsessively stroke an exquisite wooden box, which was given to him by the girl he loved before she left. Don Rodick treasured it so much that he even refused to show it to Selena, but the willful witch studied it secretly and found that it was just an ordinary jewelry box. She didn't know whether the things inside were worth hundreds of dinars. However, it is this kind of thing that becomes the inexhaustible driving force for Don Rodick's struggle. Selina watched over Don Rodic as he fell asleep, using a bit of magic to ease the pain in his body. Then, she flew up to the branch, stood on one foot, looked at the charming starry sky, and thought: If I also have a goal that I am passionate about, or fanatically striving for, can I become stronger? Afterwards, they followed the mercenary group that found work and headed south to join the battle of the Ecclesiarchy Expeditionary Force. The memories of their shared hardships and their budding hearts made her find something to devote her enthusiasm to for the first time. Don Rodick's heat tore through Selena's memories for the second time. His blade was close at hand, and his face was full of anger because he noticed Helena's absent-mindedness, which was a humiliation for a warrior. Seeing the person who had invested her passion in him for the first time in her life responding to her anger, Helena sighed and stepped back, the cold light of the elf's scimitar flashing across her cheek. She didn't want to recall it anymore, but the memories of Don Rodick were so deep that she couldn't help but recall it even though she knew it would only bring her hopeless heartache. After enthusiasm comes ambiguity, and after ambiguity comes secret love. When she realized her love affair, Don Rodick had already returned home in glory. He quickly made a name for himself in the war and was awarded the title of earl. He would soon be able to marry his beloved and live a good life. This was the punishment she received for not understanding love, this was the regret she gained for being reserved, and this was the beginning of the change in her life trajectory for pretending to be noble. She could see at first sight that there was something wrong with Shimanna, but Tang Rodick, who firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with Shimanna, reminded her of the thought that had occurred to her when they first met but which she had deliberately ignored. Tang Rodick also has problems. Tang Luodike's success may not be accidental. How can an ordinary boy hold a divine weapon? How can a child struggling in poverty have a healthy and strong body? How can he, who has never received combat training, become a first-line soldier in just half a year? As a witch, Selina has a deeper understanding of the word miracle - the miracles defined by ordinary people, which can almost be called deus ex machina, do not exist, and all "miracles" are man-made powers. By whose power was Don Rodick created? The appearance of Shimanna forced Selina to consider this issue. While Don Rodick was busy preparing for the wedding, she began to investigate with a bitter heart - she knew very well that the organization that could produce such a "work" as Don Rodick was one she could not afford to offend. Despite this, "love" still drove her to act bravely. She understood Don Rodick's persistence when they first met... but it was too late. Afterwards, the investigation caused her to lose her enthusiasm for Don Rodick.
