Anything You Want

Noel was not in a hurry, leaned his back on the bookshelf and waited patiently.

Beatrice glanced secretly out of the corner of her eye, and saw that Noel was smiling at herself.

"Betty is waiting for that person to arrive."

"that person?"

"Betty doesn't know who it is."

Betty shook her head and continued.

"Betty has been in the forbidden library for 400 years, and she has also waited for that person for 400 years, but that person has not appeared yet."

"Staying in the forbidden library, and waiting for that person, is it your contract with someone?"

Except for the contract, Noel really couldn't think of any other possibility, otherwise Beatrice wouldn't abide by it.

Without waiting for him to continue guessing, Beatrice gave the answer.

"Betty is actually the creation of Echidona, the witch of lust.As an artificial elf, Betty's ability is much higher than that of ordinary elf, but the mana consumption is also unusually high..."

"What does this have to do with my contract?"

"Can you not interrupt Betty, so Betty won't say anything."

"Okay, you say you say, I shut up."

Reaching his hand to his mouth, Noel made a zipper action, indicating that he would not interrupt.

Beatrice moved her body a bit, leaning against his arms, and then continued to talk about the topic just now.

"Betty has a mission, and her contract with Echidona is to protect the forbidden library until "that person" appears, so Betty will continue to wait here. "

.........

Talking one after another, Beatrice told Noel everything about her and Echidona's mother.

When she finished speaking and waited for a moment, Noel did not respond.

Turning my head, I saw him posing as if I didn't speak, and gave him a blank look.

"Betty is done, you can speak."

"say what?"

"You're not going to have an opinion?"

"Then wait, let me have a good wisp."

After speaking, Noel closed his eyes and thought seriously.

Beatrice didn't bother, just stared at him with big eyes, patiently waiting for him to think clearly.

It didn't take long for Nuoer, who opened his eyes, to be clear.

"According to the information you just gave me, after my careful analysis, I have a guess."

"What guess?"

"Betty, you were not born to be the secretary of the Forbidden Library. Your role was later bestowed by Echidona, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"Then my conjecture makes sense. Echidona is worried that you won't have a reason to live alone if you're gone, so it's just for you to guard the forbidden library until "that person" appears. That's all for the reason to continue living. "

"This this..."

After hearing Noel's conjecture, Beatrice's eyes widened in disbelief, and she thought it was possible.

Because, from the day Echidona died, she did have thoughts of suicide.

In order to make a contract with Echidona, she gave up the idea of ​​suicide, abided by the contract and stayed in the forbidden library, and began the long wait.

"As for the so-called 'that person', it's actually up to you, Betty. "

"What do you mean?"

"The person you choose, as long as you think it's "that person", then the chosen person is "that person".If you think it is not, then the selected person is not, it is as simple as that.It's entirely up to you. "

Thinking about it, Beatrice thinks it makes sense.

Echidona has the "Book of Wisdom", also known as "the memory of the world", and can know everything about the past and future of the world.

Beatrice knew this very well.

But it was because she knew about this that she felt that Noel's conjecture was very reasonable, and even felt that the truth of the matter was like that.

The Book of Wisdom knows the past and the future, and there is no reason not to know who Beatrice is waiting for.

The reason why he didn't say it clearly can only mean that it was Echidna's foolishness.

Even the method of choosing a person, Echidona didn't tell Beatrice, how to choose "that person", and how to make sure she chose the right one.

The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible.

All indications are that this is the reason Echidona gave her to continue to live, and that's it.

After thinking about it, Beatrice's eyes were filled with tears, and in the blink of an eye, they slipped down her cheeks.
