Chapter 348 Gifts and Return Gifts
The handkerchief smells a bit?
After hearing the muffled reminder from his brother whose face was covered, Leon suddenly remembered that his handkerchief seemed to have just been used to wipe the "treasure" discovered by Melanie, so he quickly put the handkerchief away, rubbed William's face vigorously with his sleeve, and covered it with a dry laugh:
"Maybe it's not wet enough, I'll go wash it first...Senior Emma, where is the water?"
"Let me do it."
After looking at Leon with a slightly reproachful look, Emma, who had already wiped her daughter's face, did not reveal the secret of Leon's handkerchief. Instead, she waved at William and then used the part that was not stained with mud to wipe his face again.
With the help of the cleaner's strong body control, Emma's movements were gentle and slow, and it seemed that she was not using any effort at all, but the dirt on William's face was disappearing visibly to the naked eye.
After seeing this scene, Melanie, who was being tortured painfully, could not help but protest again:
"Look, Sister Anna, you can be less forceful. How about I..."
"Either you shut up and sit still, or I'll deduct your pocket money for next week, your choice!"
"profound……"
When Anna brutally suppressed Melanie's uprising, Ellie, who had turned into a little porcelain doll again, approached Leon with some curiosity, looking at this big...uncle who inexplicably made people want to get close to him.
"what happened?"
Although he knew that little Ellie was not a real child, but an anomaly born from Emma's longing for her daughter, Leon still felt a surge of pity when he saw the little girl in front of him timidly trying to get close to him.
After squatting down slightly to make his eyes level with Ellie, Leon asked with a smile:
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Um……"
Still not used to communicating with people older than herself, after blinking timidly, little Ellie couldn't help but look back at Emma, and then, in her encouraging eyes, she mustered up the courage to say:
"I...I drew a picture a few days ago. It's...it's of you. I want to give it to you..."
Painted my picture?
After hearing what Little Ellie said, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, then he nodded with a warm heart and replied with a smile:
"Thank you then... Where is the painting?"
"The painting is in my room..."
Seeing that Leon did not refuse, little Ellie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt with her two little hands, and said embarrassedly:
"If the painting isn't very pretty, would you still accept it?"
"Of course I do."
Looking at Ellie, who was so well-behaved and pitiful, and whose style was completely different from his two troublemakers, Leon couldn't help but gently touch her head through her wide-brimmed soft hat. Then he stood up, took her gloved hand, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.
"My dearest Miss Ellie, would you like to take me to appreciate your works?"
"willing!"
After receiving Leon's positive response, little Ellie suddenly showed a big smile on her face. Then, under Emma's gentle gaze, she took Leon's hand into the inner room and handed a slightly wrinkled drawing paper to Leon.
In the center of this painting, which was done with childish brushstrokes, is a large square frame that looks a bit like an upside-down coffin, with a big dark hole on it. In front of the square frame, there are all kinds of colors, as if the wastewater from a paint factory is discharged into the river.
Three long tentacle monsters connected by lines are floating above these dazzling blocks of color, surrounding a round object with fire on it, dancing and performing some kind of evil ritual.
So…where am I?
Not wanting to say that he didn’t quite understand, Leon had no choice but to bite the bullet and point to the only element he could identify and praise:
"Not bad, the colors are very bold and the style is very avant-garde... Um, what are these fires?"
"It's a candle!"
It’s actually a candle!
After receiving the hint, Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to guess based on this information.
The thing below that looks like a barrel of fuel, round and with a horizontal stripe in the middle, could it be... a birthday cake? Are those long tentacle monsters people holding hands?
Could it be that the colorful blocks of color under the person's feet are a garden? Could it be that the lying coffin is a cabin? So the real meaning of this painting is that the people who came to celebrate her birthday are dancing around the birthday cake in the garden hand in hand?
"It seems...it doesn't seem quite like that...I'll change it!"
After looking up at Leon in front of her, and then looking down at the long tentacle monsters in the painting, little Ellie's face turned slightly red. She quickly took the painting back, put a black coat on one of the tentacle monsters, and then marked two dots where the face should be, and drew a short downward arc as a mouth.
After changing Leon's image, she decided to go all out and drew a tree in the garden with crayons. On the tree, she added a small tentacle monster that was touching a bird's nest. Under the tree, there was a large tentacle monster with its hands on its hips, looking up angrily. On the other side of the tree, in what looked like a bush, there was a small tentacle monster that had half of its body hidden in the bush and was twisting its butt desperately. She drew the entire tentacle monster family... Leon's family.
"It seems... it seems a little better this time..."
After drawing a few small black particles next to Melanie, alluding to the precious treasure she found in the secret passage, little Ellie finally breathed a sigh of relief after completing the secondary creation. Then, with a blushing face, she handed this seemingly abstract painting to Leon.
"For you, thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday."
"No...you're welcome..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Leon carefully took the avant-garde art painting "Tentacle Monster Sewage River Rampant" and put it away. Then he squatted down and said with a smile:
"I like your gift very much. I also have a birthday present for you."
"really?"
After hearing what Leon said, Little Ellie said with surprise:
"What gift is it?"
"It's not the right time yet~"
After pretending to be mysterious and smiling, Leon did not take out the fireworks and fireworks that were ordered overnight, but asked:
"Ellie, before you give me your gift, could you please take off your gloves and shake my hand?"
shake hands?
After hearing what Leon said, little Ellie hesitated for a moment, then nodded timidly, took off the gloves used to block the sun, and placed her little hand in Leon's palm.
[Name: Treasure Flower's Sorrow (Soul, Life and Death, Reflection)]
[Appearance: A well-behaved girl who can grow up normally but can only be seen near the Treasure Flower Manor. She will temporarily become transparent when exposed to too much sunlight.]
[Abilities: Soul Constancy (limited), Resurrection from the Dead (limited), Prayer Reflection (regional limited)]
[Price: None]
[File: After discovering that the execution of the Bohua Family was inevitable, in order to allow her daughter to survive, Emma Alman asked Leonard Cuoco to protect her daughter in exchange for the location of the Bohua Family's secret vault.
In order to obtain the wealth accumulated by the Bohua family, Leonard Cuoco agreed to the deal. However, after confirming the location of the secret vault, he was worried that the king would dislike him for saving the remnants of the Bohua family, so he tore up his promise and threw Ellie Arman, who was less than one year old, into the lake and drowned her...
……
When the confused soul returns to the world with her mother, Ellie Arman, who has lost her body, cannot be resurrected and will completely disappear under the sunlight.
In order to keep her last family, Emma Alman's strong desire led her to split part of the power of "Treasure Flower Sin" and combined the souls of many relatives who died with similar blood to create this special anomaly that can only be "used" in Treasure Flower Manor...】
[Evaluation: When being with Emma Alman, the "Sin of the Flower", he should have gained the ability to grow and complete his body after 666 additional deaths, but because he lacked his original body, this feature could never take effect.]
[Infiltration value: 0.1]
It’s pretty much the same as what I guessed before, but it seems to be better.
After reading little Ellie's "instructions", Leon couldn't help but smile. The shiny buttons on his cuffs flickered slightly, and a small children's firework appeared in Ellie's palm.
Then, the [Dream Invader] created by the third-generation director himself was activated. A dreamlike flame quietly appeared and ignited the small petal-like colored paper at the end of the firework. A small cluster of brilliant fireworks sprayed out from the gaps between the petals of colored paper.
"Wow!!!"
"It's probably too late to give you a real gift today, so I'll just give you this first."
Holding Ellie's small hand, and teaching her to use the bright spot at the end of the fireworks to draw circles in the air, Leon looked at the surprised Ellie in front of him, stretched out his right little finger to her, and said with a smile:
"If Ellie can do me a favor and make a wish when you blow out the candles on the cake tonight so that Emma can stay at home with you all day tomorrow, then I will give you a better gift. What do you think?"
