At the same time, countless normally growing plants on the quiet island withered, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly took root and sprouted again in a purple appearance as if they were reborn, spreading in all directions as if to echo the purple color itself. Everything on the Island of Monte Cristo was shrouded in this thick fog, as if a ceremony was starting. "What should we do now?" Bawan Shi, who was already at a loss, could only ask Favia for help. She didn't know why she suddenly became like this. And as a fairy, she felt an instinctive disgust and fear for this change, as if the planet itself did not like it. "..." Favia was silent for a moment, and looked towards the monastery in the direction where the people were kneeling. In fact, this was not the first time he had seen this strange scene. As early as the fifth century, when he, Siegfried and Beowulf killed the North Sea monster Kraken together, the ancient fantasy species used a very similar ability. However, there are still some differences, because the Kraken's ability is exerted by fusing and integrating with small-scale natural spirits that are also in a state of extinction in the North Sea, but the scene in front of him feels more like a pure ritual. Somehow, this reminded Favia of the "Witch Trial" and Beelzebub, one of the seven deadly sins, "Gluttony", but his true nature was different from the impression of "Gluttony". Beelzebub's pride was in stirring up disputes and jealousy, making humans believe in demons, and causing the noble clergy to fall.
During the witch trials, there were also believers in Europe who believed that Beelzebub was the king of demons and feared him as a "devil who controls witches". According to the information about witch hunting, there are many records of "witches dancing and praising Beelzebub's rituals to blaspheme Christ". But when Favia arrived on the island, he did not feel that the people on the island had any strange tendencies. They were just ordinary residents. He also didn't sense any trace of Beelzebub. After all, he had just killed Beelzebub once before in the Holy Grail in the snowfield. "Let's go there and have a look." After a brief thought, Favia decided to go to the monastery on the island to see what was going on. On the way, looking at the expressions of these residents and the strange purple mist, the fairy girl swallowed subconsciously and felt her scalp tingling. Because the purple mist felt like it was solidifying, like the internal organs being cleaned out, the outlines and colors of countless blood vessels and eyes emerged vaguely from it. The red-haired fairy following behind Favia was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. If it wasn't Favia in front of her, she would have run away long ago. Right next to her, a hand suddenly reached out and grasped her wrist. Like a pair of pliers. The strange silence came suddenly. Bawan Xi's smile froze on her face. She turned around with difficulty, but she only saw a young face that was younger than her. It was an expressionless face. It was as if he had caught a thief red-handed while rummaging through his things. Then, the purple-skinned girl asked with a twisted smile: "——How can you touch someone else's brother without permission?" boom! As the tentacle crossed, Favia used magic to bring it down like a sword. In front of the monastery, the girl seemed to walk out of the purple mist itself, and with the movement of stepping through all purple things, she looked at the humans and fairies in front of her. "Shouldn't we say hello when we first meet?" Favia said, "Or, just be more straightforward--"
At that moment, the silver-haired boy continued to perform magic, and the magic bullets released from his fingers continued to split, drawing a spiral trajectory. The magic bullet surrounded the opponent in all directions, and was infused with a power that was enough to make a person unconscious for several days even with just a scratch. At this moment, it was flying towards the gate of the monastery. However, after a split second of collision, all the magics were immediately bounced away, and at this moment, the tentacles appeared. The sparks in an instant illuminated each other's eyes, blue and blood red. "Abigail Williams." The visitor was none other than Abigail Williams, who was supposed to be one of the original plaintiffs in the Salem witch trials in the late seventeenth century and a Puritan. To be honest, even Favia didn't know why a person from the late seventeenth century would travel to the early sixteenth century and appear in this form. He suddenly remembered that the islanders had said there was a child in the monastery. Could it be her? Besides, she just mentioned brother? She has a brother? "I have been waiting for you all this time. I have been on the island all this time and even left my key there, just for this day to come. Finally, it has come and God agrees... But I have been very lonely all this time. You have to apologize..." The girl answered, without a smile or a sneer. Her breath blew on Favia's face in an instant. Just quietly tell him: "My brother, Favia Williams." In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world fell into silence. Favia didn't even have time to think about what the girl had just said, because he felt his body instinctively spasming, and not only his muscles, but also the magic circuits throughout his body were wailing, as if even his soul was about to faint. This was because, in front of him, a purple eye suddenly appeared in the "keyhole" on the forehead of the girl named Abigail, which was filled with mockery, teasing, pleasure and playfulness, as well as many indescribable feelings. Obviously, the ritual was not complete, so human eyes could not witness it, the body could not touch it, and it could not be felt, but the Purple Eye still descended at all costs and appeared on the island of Monte Cristo, which seemed to be a rebellion between reality and illusion. Just looking at each other brought Favia a tangible coldness, pain, and the feeling of having his life taken away. The next moment, mist gushed out from the 'keyhole' on the girl's forehead, caressing Favia gently and carefully, like a pair of hands protecting some hard-to-get treasure. His consciousness went blank in an instant, and he could only watch the tentacles caressing him, as if cherishing or playing with him. At the same time, Abigail's mouth curled up in satisfaction, a mischievous smile on her purple face. "There's a bad guy over there who's not a puppy but is disturbing my brother and I from being together. He barks and bites people, so I'll treat him like a puppy and make him shut up completely..." But after Abigail skipped two steps towards Bawan Shi, her movements suddenly stopped. pause. As if she had discovered something incredible, the girl looked back in surprise. Behind her, there was Favia who was obviously dazed, the silver-haired boy who should have fainted, and Favia who should have completely fainted under the gaze of the purple eyes. The hanging fingers twitched once, and then twitched again. In this brief blank period of unconsciousness and soul, the remaining obsession still drove the body, and he approached Abigail step by step, and raised his palm and the silver key that was only two-thirds of it.
At this moment, the smile on the girl's face disappeared, and she looked at the key that was about to reach her forehead without any intention of resisting. "Hey... I originally wanted to help you more, brother, because your happiness is my happiness... But why... My forehead hurts... Is this enough..." These words sound like giving up, but they are not quite the same. It sounds like accepting reality, but it's still different. Because she just reached out and adjusted his collar. "However, it's not because of that demon, but because of the human being himself. But to be precise, it's all because of it. Well, I'll just punish you for a few days... After all, brother, you are worse than me--" The smile on the girl's face became even more distorted before she returned to her normal appearance. Behind her, the door of nothingness suddenly opened, wrapping the two of them. "What a greedy bad boy." Just like that, the two of them disappeared behind the door together, and the door closed, never to be seen again... It should be like this. The reason for saying this is that just before the door closed, a faint but swift and extremely fast golden glow burst out from the deepest part of the second cave entrance of the Cave of Monte Cristo. It not only eliminated the purple fog that originally covered the entire island, but also aimed at the door. The door itself shook suddenly, and several terrible scratches appeared silently, and it was almost destroyed by the golden glow that hit it. The glow paused in the air for a moment, and was about to hit again, but the door seemed not to be outdone, and thick purple mist poured out. However, the golden glow tore through the opponent's door lock without any pause or deflection. After chiseling a palm-sized hole in the door, all events in the world calmed down in an instant. As for Favia and Abigail, or to be more precise, Favia, things were not going well, because Abigail, who had now recovered her normal skin color, had fallen into a coma. At this moment, the two people were high in the sky above the unknown ocean. Moreover, Favia felt that he could not use magic now, perhaps because he had just recovered from the fainting state, or perhaps because he had been stared at by those eyes before. At the moment he was falling rapidly from an unknown height above the sea level, he felt the whistling wind. What you see when you look down is a seemingly endless ocean below, accompanied by countless low or harsh sounds, forming a deep echo like the sea tide. "This is... a bit troublesome." He scratched his head. sigh. He seemed silent for a second, but it was too brief to tell, and finally reached out and hugged Abigail so that she was above him. And just like that, the answer to this moment was given. After all, when falling into the sea from such a height, due to the acceleration of gravity and the surface tension of water, the human body will be subjected to a huge impact force at the moment of hitting the water surface. This impact force is called the "water surface impact effect", which is similar to the effect when a hard object hits the ground. Since water cannot be compressed immediately, extremely high pressure will be generated at the moment of impact, which is far beyond the range that the human body can withstand. A few seconds later, on the sparkling sea surface that was a deep blue that seemed to swallow everything— ‘Bang’ sound. If someone could sail in this vast ocean, they would be able to see colors appearing in the blue world.
Blooming in the Mediterranean Sea, it is an exceptionally bright red. The water was not very cold, but it made Favia hear the sound of the rising and falling tides, until he could no longer hear them, until he was unknowingly swept by the turbulent current and drifted to an unknown shore. …… The dazzling sunshine shines down and the white waves roll. In Favia's dazed ears, he could hear the sound of waves and the voices of a group of people. "Hey! Who the hell is this guy? Why did he faint here?" "Are there any new prisoners today? I haven't heard of it..." Everyone stared at the unknown person lying on the ground, his whole body dyed bright red. "Should we notify the higher-ups?" "...Wait a minute, that Italian priest died in prison today for no apparent reason. Damn it! He was under strict guard, but he died just two days after arriving... I was just wondering how to explain this guy to the higher-ups, and this guy seems to be about the right age. Now I've found someone who can take his place, which is a blessing in disguise." "But what if someone from above comes to interrogate him?" "This is not easy. This is not a place for human beings to stay. It's normal to go crazy after a long time." Then, in a daze, Favia felt that he was changed into a new piece of clothing and was carried away by the group of people. The sound of waves rang in my ears again and again. Sometimes far, sometimes near. Sometimes far, sometimes near. Finally, he felt that he had come to a place where there was an indescribable smell in the air. Favia analyzed that it was a mixture of dampness, mildew and sweat. When he came here, he was thrown directly in here by the group of people. "Come to think of it, is this guy really an old man? Why does he look so healthy?" “Maybe it’s talent.” "Maybe he's some fallen noble. After all, didn't His Majesty Napoleon strike down some nobles in the past? Maybe this guy is one of them. He couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to jump into the sea to commit suicide, but ended up drifting here." For some reason, Favia felt that he was indeed thrown down directly, but it was as if someone acted as a cushion for him, so that he did not feel too much pain, but his brain was still a little confused. "But this guy hasn't woken up yet, what should I do?" "Damn it, go get a basin of cold water and pour it directly on him." "Okay.....wait, he's awake." "This is......" Favia slowly opened his eyes and made a sound. Perhaps because he was too tired, his voice was a little weak. The prison guards looked at each other when they heard this. Although in their opinion this guy was just a pitiful person, the sound he made was somewhat gentle, and they seemed to be able to feel something very warm from it. Attracted by the indescribable aura of the silver-haired man in front of them, the jailers' tone unconsciously became much better. "Ahem, this is the Chateau d'If prison in Marseille. You are an Italian priest. Well, since you look so tired, I will let you rest for a while. In general, from now on, you should remember your name well—"
"Faria."
213: Both Faria and Favia (5k) On a small island that is less than 200 meters long and 168 meters wide, there is a prison called Chateau d'If. Because the walls of the Chateau d'If are high and the stones are thick, and there is a turbulent sea outside the castle, it is a place where people who are imprisoned cannot escape. As long as you walk down the underground stairs in the castle and step into the rusty iron door, you will enter another world.
