On a hilltop outside the royal capital, Asa looked down at the familiar buildings not far below and felt a little dazed. There were so many things that had happened here that he couldn't help but flash through his mind one by one. It was too confusing and complicated.
It was so intense that he couldn't even give a fixed definition to his intense stirring feeling.
"Okay, we'll break up here." Yabin's voice pulled him back. "We'll go south from here. Please take care of yourself, we'll see you later."
My younger sister Ai Yimei bowed and saluted Asa and said: "Thank you, Brother Asa. My recovery this time is all because of your help, and it is only thanks to you that we were able to survive safely. Your great kindness will always be with me."
Remember..." She paused, hesitated, and said with a blush. "...If you are free in the future, please come to the Tower of Teeth."
"Okay, if you're free. I'll probably be free in about fifty days..." Asa smiled bitterly and nodded to the two brothers and sisters. In fact, he didn't know if it was true that everything would be fine in the next fifty days.
, this final task may not be easier than the previous one.
That day when he returned to Oufoyi, Cedros took out the mental magic left in his brain and used it to heal his sister Ayime. However, unlike what Cedros expected, Yabin and Ayime persisted.
For this reason, they joined Orfor. Although they also knew the truth, they were resolutely unwilling to help the orcs and Celeste fight. They only reluctantly supported the ambush of the Temple Knights. The reason for their rejection of Cedros was simple.
, and there was no room for twists and turns: even if they died in the hands of a cardinal, their grandfather would never allow them to fight the believers. So after their short stay in Oufu, they left with Asa.
From here, turn south and head towards the Tower of Fang. It is the last peaceful place on the continent that is temporarily away from the war and chaos.
The two siblings didn't know that when they rejected Cedros's request, they had already walked around the Gate of Hell. Cedros would not let two people who had no intention of helping him and knew too much leave from Oufu. However,
In the end, Asa secretly tried to persuade them, saying that maybe they would have a chance to help in the future, and then the two brothers and sisters could leave smoothly.
The two brothers and sisters still offered to help Asa in his mission in the royal capital, but Asa refused. This mission was not something that could be solved by killing, and people who didn't know the inside story would not only be unable to help, but might also be a drag.
So he also rejected Hilton's request to follow him and let him go to Taitaglia.
"I can guarantee that this little girl actually likes you. It's a pity that you had a chance to sleep with her. A pure virgin is a rare good thing. I bet that she is absolutely willing, as long as you don't use too stupid words.
Way." Looking at the background of the two brothers and sisters leaving, Jessica suddenly said. These words made Asa break into a cold sweat on his vest.
"Even your thoughts and every word reveal the smell of rotten evil. This kind of darkness and depravity comes from the depths of the soul. It is really hopeless." Luya had a look of disgust on her face. In order not to attract too much attention, she
He put on a big hat that covered the elf's pointed ears and silver hair, and applied some potion on his face to turn his skin color yellow. He was dressed in an ordinary traveler's slender dress, but even so ordinary as possible.
It's hard to hide her overly delicate beauty.
Jessica laughed sharply: "Oh, you don't need to be so deliberate in your last words. You are hiding your inner thoughts. Childish little white rabbit with pointed ears. Don't let him and I change to the art of sex every time.
If you appear to be so sensitive about the issue, it just reveals that you are overly repressed."
Asa only felt a headache. In fact, it had been like this all the way. The two elves disliked each other extremely, and attacking each other with their mouths was a very gentle way. There were at least three or four times between them along the way.
It's really about taking action.
"It seems that Marfa was too kind when he drove you into darkness and let you live underground. You should live with the rats and bedbugs in the sewers. Discuss your corrupt and evil thoughts with the maggots..." Lu
Ya stared at Jessica and suppressed her face until she turned red before she said, "...the art of evil."
But the black elf just giggled and said: "Unfortunately, I know that your Marfa has never said that sex is evil. Without that kind of wonderful behavior, where did you come from? Little darling, you are also that kind of person.
You call it the crystallization of evil behavior. Don't say that your mother gave birth to you alone. Oh, by the way, I heard that you emerged from the weird trees in the Whispering Forest. Then you
Maybe I don’t even know who my parents are, which is really pitiful.”
"The friendship between us noble elves is indistinguishable from each other. We must be a complete whole. How can a dirty and low-level creature like you understand our noble culture that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years."
"I said, can you two give me a quiet day or two?" Asa felt his head hurt even more. He really didn't expect that these two people getting together would have such consequences. But there seemed to be no way.
, this time the elves migrated back to the Whispering Forest. Mr. Lloyd believed that he must first form a consensus and a smart relationship with Ironfast, so he sent Ilua to follow Asa to the capital of Ironfast. Let
Asa helped her arrange negotiations with Chancellor Mrak, the leader of Roland. While Elder Lloyd and other elves were busy preparing for the great migration.
It can be seen that Elder Lloyd deliberately wanted to train Luya to be the leader of the elves, so he allowed her to come to the capital alone to negotiate and contact the upper class of human society. For elves who have always been accustomed to hiding from the world and worries, this is undoubtedly the most important thing.
Difficulties also require the most training of learning abilities.
In fact, Asa originally wanted to return to the capital alone to resolve these matters, but because of Elder Lloyd's request, he had to take Luya with him. In the end, he hesitated and did not refuse Jessica who came with him. If he wanted to go there,
In the royal capital's lurking, reconnaissance and assassination, the black elves can still play a considerable role. Although he also knew that there must be friction between the two people, he thought that the problem should not be serious. It was not until this moment that he realized that he was wrong.
Women are always unreasonable animals... The only thing more troublesome than a noisy woman is having two such women...
Asa suddenly remembered these words he heard in the tavern when he was a child. He originally thought that these things had nothing to do with him, but now he realized that they were extremely insightful.
"Noble culture? You self-righteous little guy, don't you know that you have suppressed yourselves for too long?" Jessica spat disdainfully, and said loudly as if she was telling someone a great secret: "Do you want to
Let me tell you the truth about why you kept finding trouble with me along the way? You actually like this man very much, and deep down in your heart, you actually hope that he can ride on your body, squeeze your delicate limbs, entangle, and impact...
But out of your self-righteous and noble repression, you bury these impulses deep in your heart. And my direct and frank words just keep sending these contents into your little head, constantly stimulating your repressed desires, just like
It's just as exciting to be touched by his gentle and strong fingers on the top of your most sensitive little breast..."
"Shut up." Asa and Luya shouted at the same time, but Luya's voice was much higher.
"How's it going? Have you felt that wonderful feeling of being stabbed in the vital point?" Jessica ignored Asa at all, pointed at Luya, whose face was flushed even with the disguise potion, and laughed sharply and loudly.
Sharp: "I was right."
"I will judge you in the name of Marfa and send your dirty soul and mouth to hell." Luya's face was completely distorted by anger and shyness, she pulled out the thin sword she was wearing and recited a spell.
.
"I'm giving you this advice for the third time, don't show your weapons to the black elves." Jessica also pulled out a pair of poisonous daggers without showing any signs of weakness, licked her tongue and sneered: "You might as well tell
You, dismembering the surface elves is one of the most popular arts in my hometown..."
"Death to atone for your sins." Luya rushed towards Jessica.
Just as Jessica was about to move, she almost stumbled. Only then did she realize that the weeds under her feet had unknowingly become as thick as a string, wrapping around her feet silently like a snake.
.
Luya's movements were by no means fast or sharp, but there was absolutely no problem in stabbing the target that couldn't move and had lost its center of gravity. A cold light flashed in Jessica's eyes, and she took off her two blue daggers and pointed at Luya.
Throw it away.
Compared with the black elf, Lu Yadi's combat experience is almost the difference between a frog and a poisonous snake. Although she used magic to gain the upper hand, she had no room to dodge the dagger that flew from her hand. She could only watch helplessly as she was heading towards
The two deadly poisoned weapons collided with each other. Even though the natural magic of the elves was very effective in healing and detoxifying, she had absolutely no chance to use magic after being stabbed by these two daggers.
But the two blue daggers did not hit Luya, and the sword in her hand also did not fall on the black elf, because Asa was there.
Asa held Luya's hand with one hand. The other hand bounced off two daggers. He had been prepared for it. In fact, this was the third time he had stopped him in the past few days.
In terms of pure physical strength or skill, this is not too difficult. In Asa's eyes, the actions of the two of them are not much different from children fighting each other, and they can be stopped without any effort. But he did
He felt very tired, really tired. Sometimes he even felt that he would rather go to Sandface Mountain and fight two Behemoths than travel with these two women again. Fighting Behemoths only requires hard work.
, fighting, fighting, fighting spirit, and murderous intent are enough, but with these two women, no matter how high the fighting spirit is and how strong the murderous intent is, there is absolutely nothing they can do.
"I tell you, either you drive this woman away. Or I go to the royal capital alone. In short, I can't bear to be with her." Luya stared at Asa, with not only anger but also tears in her eyes.
Guang. "I can't stand you colluding with her either."
"Listen to me..." Asa had a very labored expression on his face. In fact, he didn't know what he should say. He could hear his brain groaning under overload several times.
It is ten times more difficult for him to think about the rhetoric to deceive women than to plan how to kill two Behemoths, assassinate Bishop Eskel, etc. If mind magic can increase the flexibility of the mind, he is willing to endure Eskel again.
It's the kind of mental shock that can drive people crazy.
Perhaps it was the potential that burst out in moments of crisis, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Asa immediately said: "You can't be so willful, for the sake of the task assigned to you by Elder Lloyd, and for the elves' grand plan. You should know it yourself.
It's impossible to accomplish these things. Jessica is actually indispensable to the development of the entire mission. Are you willing to abandon the fate of the entire elves just for some boring feelings? "
These words made Luya startled, and then he immediately stopped talking. Asa secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For Luya, the sense of responsibility is definitely more important than anything else. But the face that was a little distorted and the red eyes were also
It showed that this was not a real insurance solution. Asa added gently: "Don't worry, I promise that this kind of quarrel will not happen again in the future. Jessica will not talk nonsense anymore."
"I have no guarantee..." the black elf broke free from the rope grass that was holding her and said.
"Can you just do me a favor?" Asa glared at her, but his tone was full of helplessness.
"Okay, I'll just help you. But you have to remember to owe me a favor." Jessica raised her eyebrows, as proud as if she had won a battle.
"Okay." Asa sighed feebly, took Luya's hand, turned and walked towards the direction of the royal capital. Luya struggled, but failed.
Magic Academy, in the room of the new Cardinal Javi.
Even though you may not welcome the cardinal in your heart, you still have to do what you want. The room arranged for the cardinal by the Magic Academy is still very luxurious and magnificent, and the furnishings inside are no worse than anywhere else.
But now in this room, the person sitting on the chair prepared for the bishop behind the desk is not Bishop Javi, but an old priest.
This old priest is dressed normally and has a very ordinary appearance, the kind that can be seen everywhere in magic schools. But he sits on the chair that only the bishop can sit on, as calm and carefree as if it is a small bench where he lives.
The extraordinarily handsome cardinal now stood respectfully beside him, holding a teapot in his hand, pouring a glass of water for the old priest, bringing it to him and saying: "Sir, please drink some water."
"Drink water? I'm not a fish. Why should I drink so much water? Not even tea?" The old pastor rolled his eyes.
"I was afraid that my husband would worry that the taste of tea would mask the poison, so I used clear water that is easy to identify. When Bishop Javi smiled, it was still sunshine and atmosphere...
"Don't worry. First, I believe in your courage, but you don't dare. Second, even if you dare, you probably won't be able to deal with the poison that I hid from me. Third, even if you can get it, I'll be fine after drinking it.
Enough time to turn you into a pile of smelly meat first." The old priest waved his hand to the cardinal impatiently. "The tea should be stronger and add less brown sugar."
"Yes." Bishop Javi smiled bitterly and took out the tea leaves from the desk drawer, made a pot of tea with his own hands and poured it for the old priest.
The old pastor took a sip, shook his head, smacked his lips and frowned: "It tastes terrible. You don't even have one-tenth of your master's tea-making skills."
"I'm sorry, the teacher never taught me this..." Bishop Javi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"That's right. She actually taught you all the local real-life meditation and magic techniques. How can she have time to teach you these things again." The old priest's eyes wandered on Bishop Javi's face for a while, and then he asked:
"But I really can't believe that she would actually accept a disciple... Why did she accept you as a disciple? Isn't it just because she is a pretty boy? There were so many pretty girls chasing her back then. She should have been tired of seeing them..."
Bishop Javi shook his head with a wry smile. In the eyes of others, he had always been full of wisdom, might, and confidence. He seemed to be the embodiment of perfection. In front of this old man, he seemed to have no other expression except a wry smile.
The old priest said calmly: "I heard that he seems to have been locked up by the guys in the guild. Maybe he is running around outside looking for you as a disciple, right?"
Bishop Jia Wei did not answer directly, but just said: "This time I came here, the teacher also specifically asked me to greet Mr. So I made arrangements for the past two days and immediately invited Mr. over."
"Well, I suddenly remembered the behavior of the bandits and thieves on the mountain top. It means that I don't hinder you. This is also the reason why you dare to walk here alone." The old priest nodded. "For her sake, I
Naturally, I won't embarrass you in any way. The relationship between you and her master and apprentice is obvious to other people in the guild."
"Yes, sir, he knows things like a god." The cardinal nodded.
"On the one hand, I have to help your master, on the other hand, I have guild affairs, and on the other hand, I am a young and promising cardinal. Young people today are really busy. They are much more diligent than when I was young. You
What do you want to do here this time?"
Bishop Jia Wei hesitated for a moment and replied: "Sir, please forgive me for not being able to talk about these questions... These things are related to Diyagu's big plan..."
"The big plan? Humph, now the Diya Valley has become smoky. If I were still in it, I would definitely drive out all those guys who are interested." The old priest sighed again as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Forget it, these are not things I worry about. After all, I am no longer from Diya Valley."
"At that time, your position in Diya Valley can never be replaced by others."
The old priest looked at Bishop Javi and sneered softly, and said: "The old guys in the guild don't have the guts to come here, so they let you come alone. Do you think I won't care about you, a little guy? They still
They are afraid that I will violate the oath I swore under the famous words of the Dark Star. It seems that these guys have some ghosts in their hearts... right?
Bishop Javi just bowed his head respectfully and stopped talking.
"Okay, that's it for now." The old priest stood up and patted his butt. "Since I said it has something to do with Diyagu's absence, there is no conflict between us, and you are Vidnina's disciple.
, and finally, for the sake of your respectful cup of tea, as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, I won't care what you do here."
Bishop Javi asked cautiously: "Do you care about the turmoil over Ionfast's whereabouts? For example, the royal family and..."
The old priest shook his head impatiently: "Ronis will worry about this, but in my opinion, it's none of my business."
Bishop Javi smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I don't know, sir, what is your bottom line..."
The old pastor was stunned, thought for a while, and shook his head: "This... I don't know for the time being, but you will know it when you encounter it."
As if he did not expect such an answer at all, Bishop Javi smiled bitterly again, but this one was the bitterest, so bitter that it could hardly be considered a smile.
The royal capital is centered on the palace, and is built layer by layer facing outwards. The outermost and largest layer is an ordinary civilian area. Everything here is no different from a futures city.
Asa led Luya and Jessica to a tavern here first. Before figuring out the situation, he had to find a place to stay and hide. The tavern and hotel he knew was a good place to hide.
This kind of tavern in a civilian area is naturally full of good and bad people, and the soldiers of the Royal Guards often drink here, so it is really convenient to get information.
But as soon as the three of them walked to the door of the tavern, a figure was suddenly thrown out from inside. Also flying out were wine bottles, cups and plates. From the sounds coming from behind, it seemed that someone was fighting.
.
Fights in this kind of place were originally very common, but when Asa saw the person who was thrown out clearly, he was surprised, because he looked at the military uniform and he was actually the leader of the Royal Guards.
It's not that there are no people, but those people should not fight in such a tavern anyway.
The leader of the Guards got up with a groan and spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, which also contained two teeth. He looked angrily at the tavern and seemed to want to rush in again, but he hesitated and turned around and ran away.
.
Asa stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, but still walked away with the two elves. Naturally, he still wore the mask Sandro gave him on his face, and the disguises of Luya and Jessica would not appear
It's an eyesore, as long as you don't actively attract people's attention.
But as soon as he took a few steps into the tavern and saw the fighting inside, he immediately turned around and left. But it was already too late. He had just beaten a few guards to the ground. When the female knight saw the three of them, her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted:
