571 Worry and Trust
"So, the topic is back to square one, there are not many options left for us, I just want to ask here, Alice, please answer me seriously, answer me with the most serious attitude. ”
Semiramis's face was very grim, it was one of the few grim things from her school career to the present, and it was obvious that there was no joke in her next words.
"Do you believe me? not only me, but Skaha, Kill, Brunhilde, your lovers, do you believe us?
"Of course, there is nothing to think about, there is no doubt about it, just as you believe in me, just as everything I do is for my future, without a little impurity of purity. ”
"Hasn't this always been, taken for granted? From the day we met until now, we have trusted each other, Semiramis, why did you suddenly ask me this question, such a thing. ”
Alice's answer did not have the slightest hesitation, her tone was very firm, and every word came from her inner thoughts, without a little water.
From the time she met Semiramis, Qil, Brunhilde, and Skaha, Alice's goal changed, not just a narrow and selfish self-centered effort and planning, but to include all of them, and strive for a future where everyone can be happy.
"Well, in that case, Alice, please give me your trust this time, and give it to Qiel, as you say, as you think in your heart. ”
Semiramis's face did not change, and he said seriously.
Under the table, where no one was looking, the back of Semiramis's hand was bruised, clutching the handle of the chair tightly, and a pair of slender feet kept shaking, so as to relieve the tension in his heart.
Because the next news will inevitably make Alice furious, and it will make Semiramis unable not to take it seriously, and it is impossible not to be nervous.
"What are you talking about, Celeramis, isn't Kiel supposed to be in Schleswig at this time, isn't she supposed to be advancing there as a legend?"
Semiramis's words gave Alice a bad feeling, and she opened her mouth to ask something, but Semiramis wouldn't give her a chance to interject at this time.
Some things are better to be solved quickly, procrastination will only make things worse before they can be resolved.
"Qil has successfully advanced to Legendary, earning the title of [Hassan] and becoming a true legendary assassin, and this time the goblins will be left to her to deal with. ”
"Wait, what are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly, Semiramis, you say it again. ”
Alice rubbed her ears, her eyes wide as goldfish in a fish bowl, full of comical joy.
"I said, Qi'er has become a legendary assassin and has earned the title of [Hassan], and this time the goblins who are enemies of the empire will be dealt with by her. ”
"Wait, how did she become a legend, how did she complete the trial and become Hassan, I don't know at all, when it happened, what's going on?"
"And even if she becomes a legendary assassin and obtains the title of Hassan, those goblins are definitely not something she can fight, no, I ...... Semiramis, you tell me where she is now, and I'll go and bring her back. ”
This time Alice heard Semiramis clearly, she stood up from her seat in shock, turned her head in disbelief and was about to leave here, like a cat that exploded in an instant, waving her paws indiscriminately, attacking things in front of her indiscriminately, and solving problems indiscriminately.
Semiramis beckoned lightly, and the dark energy climbed up the door, completely sealing the gate and preventing Alice from leaving.
Not only that, but the entire temple's defenses were activated by Semiramis, and even if Alice wanted to leave, she needed to break through these layers of protection, which she had arranged by herself.
"Semiramis! This is not a joke to be made!"
Alice said angrily, this is the first time in her memory that Alice has been angry with Semiramis, her eyes are bloodshot, hair fluttering behind her, and a faint gray mist appears around her.
"You're the one who took this as a joke, Alice. ”
Without hesitation, Semiramis stood up and slapped the wooden table hard, making a loud noise that interrupted Alice's rushing rage.
"Just now you said you believed in us, but is your trust like this, just a cheap thing that you say you can throw aside at any time?"
Semiramis was also angry, his chest rose and fell violently, his pink cheeks were pink, and his eyes were staring back without fear, his gaze was as cold as a scalpel.
"Miss Alice, I can tell you very clearly that this is Qi'er's request, this is her choice, and it is also her decision, and it has nothing to do with me, so please give her a little trust, and don't look at me with such angry and suspicious eyes!"
The angry voice echoed throughout the hall, and even the title was changed to the rusty Miss Alice, in front of such Semiramis, Alice's breath couldn't help but pause, and a trace of panic flashed on her face.
"Aren't you going to stop her......?
"With her character, do you think I can stop her? And why stop her, Kir she's not a child anymore, she's now a legend who has earned the title of Hassan, do you understand what that means?"
"I'll tell you, Miss Alice, this means that our Kir has been able to kill a legend on her own, and only then can she earn the title of Hassan, and don't forget your agreement with the [original Hassan] old man in the mountains, that if he fails to pass his trial, he will not be able to leave the school. ”
Semiramis's words were like a basin of ice water pouring down, which calmed Alice's flustered brain a little, and she stood there and took a few deep breaths.
"I'm sorry, Semiramis, but I'm excited. ”
"You know, this news, um, this news for me, the shock is a little big, not to say, um, not that I don't trust you. ”
"I'm just too worried, you know me, I'm just too worried about you, there's nothing else I don't believe in you. ”
Alice, who had calmed down, was scrambling to explain something, trying to make up for the mistake she had made on impulse, but Semiramis still had a cold face and did not say a word.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry, aren't I impulsive when I'm in a hurry, because it's Qi'er that I'm so anxious and impulsive, as if I just received a message from you in Assyria before, and I went over without stopping. ”
Hearing the long-lost word Assyria, Semiramis's gaze gradually softened, but he still turned his back to Alice and did not say a word.
She knew that Alice's attitude just now was due to worry about them, but unpleasantness is unpleasantness, anger is anger, and she can't let it go because of Alice's simple words.
Sometimes women are so unreasonable, and if they can be reasonable, they are not women.
"Qi'er, yes, Semiramis is not wrong at all, I should give her a little trust, but I didn't expect that you would hide it from me in this matter, when she got Hassan, when she became a teacher, I don't know at all. ”
Alice couldn't help but complain, and she was relieved to hear that Qi'er had successfully obtained the recognition of the old man in the mountain of [original Hassan] and obtained the name of [Hassan].
"Why, Chill didn't tell me, what she said to me, can I still disagree?
The object of the complaint was changed to Qiel, and Alice deliberately did this, hoping to divert Semiramis's attention and slightly weaken her inner dissatisfaction.
Alice's plan succeeded, of course, it is more likely that Semiramis saw through her little trick and deliberately chose to be fooled to ease the atmosphere between the two at this time.
"What's the use of telling you? Qil deliberately didn't let us tell you the news, for the reasons I think you must have guessed a few points, one is to surprise your favorite sister, the other is to be able to contribute to the empire, and the other is probably because you don't want to bother you, after all, at that time you were still running around Novgorod for the empire, sniping death. ”
“…… That's a surprise. ”
Alice shook her head with a sigh, and then gritted her teeth word by word.
"When she comes back, she will definitely be punished severely, even if she becomes [Hassan] and becomes a legendary assassin, she is still my sister, and it is still very early to provoke my sister. ”
The conversation calmed her mind, and Alice returned to the table from scratch, sat down, picked up the cold black tea in front of her, and took a sip gently.
"Semiramis, tell me, how sure is it that Qir can use assassination to get those goblins to stop?"
"I don't believe you were so easily convinced by her, Qil and you are not on the same level, in this regard. ”
The tea ran down her throat to her stomach, and a refreshing cold sensation made Alice's whole body relax, and after calming down, she asked Semiramis.
Alice knows Semiramis better than herself, and it is impossible for Semiramis to choose to support Qil's statement in the first place, and it is more likely to stop it in all aspects and inform Alice.
"Ahh Of course, of course, I couldn't have been persuaded by her so easily, and at first I also thought that her ability, the ability to become a legendary assassin, was not very strong, but it was not until something happened. ”
"What's the matter?"
"When I was prepared, Qil didn't alarm anyone and came to my side, and in the end, I didn't notice her arrival if she hadn't shown up on her own initiative. ”
“…… What?!"
Alice doesn't remember how many times she was surprised today, how terrible the temple defense in the middle of the city of Les under the sea was, only she, who was involved, could understand.
There are three legends patrolling the periphery in turn, and the middle is filled with powerful sea tribes hidden everywhere, and there is no magic of surveillance and defense in every part of the castle, and there is no blind spot.
Since Semiramis said that he was prepared, then he must have removed Qi'er's various permissions in this place, and without permission, he could appear quietly in front of Semiramis, and he had not been discovered by the other party, Alice asked herself that she could not do this.
"Not only that, but she also made a bet with me that if she attacked you at sea, she would never be recognized by you, she would not be found by you, and she would be able to get away with it. ”
After all, Semiramis is not a legend known for her fighting power, and in order to stop Qi's adventure, she put forward a second condition, planning an attack with Alice as the target, and if she can get out of the way, she will admit that Qil's ability is enough to help them share the affairs of the empire, and is willing to help her convince Alice.
“…… So, is that Qiel?"
Alice sat down slowly, and she whispered blankly.
Semiramis's words reminded her of what happened on the way to Rice Island before, and she only thought that it was an assassin sent by the goblins who was secretly looking for an opportunity to attack, but she didn't think it was Qiel.
At the beginning, she was still strange that she was an assassin, but she had no hostility and killing intent at the moment she was discovered, and she chose to leave quickly, without a little hesitation, and her actions were very strange.
If the assassin was Qil, everything would have been explained, a premeditated test, in the hope that Alice could see Qil's efforts and growth, and not take shelter under her wings like a child.
"Really, I don't think of you as a child anymore. ”
Thinking of this, a rare trace of tenderness appeared at the corner of Alice's mouth.
The assassin is Qi'er, then her strength has been recognized by Alice, not relying on the poison of talent, but relying on skill, relying on other efforts, to the extent that even Alice has to rely on feeling to find her.
If it were someone else, such as those who were arrogant and seemed to have everything in the world rubbish, if they were, they would have been beheaded by Qi'er if they were unsuspected.
"If that's the case, there's no need to worry about Qi'er's side, the problem on the goblin's side will be solved by her, and I think she will have her own judgment about what is important and what can be given up. ”
Alice temporarily let go of her inner worries, she believed that Qir could help the empire at this time solve this crisis, and this time the belief was no longer an unfounded emotional belief.
