Chapter 43: The Coming Storm?
"I ......"
Ellie hesitated, and the caution in her heart warned her not to trust anyone other than Kaos easily, and this was a habit that had been cultivated by Kaos's side, from Stanrow to Oslea.
"Oh, don't you believe me?"
"Not really!"
Ellie said immediately, but Shirin looked at her suspiciously, he didn't know why Ellie reacted so quickly, and Ellie seemed to realize that her reaction was a little aggressive.
"I'm sorry, but the tone you said just now was too similar to the master, so I ...... this"
"Oh, that's right!" Shirin smiled, "Don't worry, I don't mind, but I see you're distressed, are you in any trouble?"
"Uh...... The ......" Ellie hesitated, and finally, she said:
"I'm lost. β
......
"If you don't know the way, don't come out, Diwenyas Academy is not small, and there are many fish and dragons here, in case you meet any bad people, it's not good. Shirin said this, although it was an exaggeration, but he was also trying to make the atmosphere as relaxed as possible.
β......β
Ellie has been following Shirin and pulling his clothes, as if she is afraid that she will be lost in the next second, and she has not dared to speak for fear that she has done something wrong, after all, Kaos has always warned her not to do what she shouldn't do here, and don't say what she shouldn't say.
"That...... Am I exaggerating, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous, I just lied to you. Seeing that Ellie was cautiously silent, Shirin hurriedly said.
Ellie shook her head when she heard this, "No, no, it's just that the master wants not to say what should not be said, not to ask what should not be asked, I don't know what to say and what to ask, so I simply don't speak." Actually, Shirin-sama doesn't care about me, just treat me as a maid. β
"Is your master usually very strict with you?"
"No!" immediately retorted, "the master is usually kind to Ellie, and the master is very kind, he saved the children of our whole village, and he escorted us to Los Ca. β
"Rosesca?" said Shirin, with a surprised expression, "I think Roseca is a bit far from here! it would take at least seven or eight days to walk, and the road would be very dangerous. β
Speaking of this, Ellie couldn't help but think of the night when Kaos hid alone outside the tent to cover her wounds, and thinking of this, Ellie lowered her head.
"So...... So the master he is a hero, he is Ellie's hero. Ellie said suddenly, firmly.
Speaking of which, Shirin also seems to know the weight of Ellie's master in Ellie's heart, which is probably more than the ordinary master-servant relationship! No wonder Ellie is willing to be a maid by her master's side at such a young age.
"You mean your master sent you to Losca? May I ask what the hell is going on?"
Ellie was stunned for a moment, and her determined expression began to change.
"This ......"
Shirin seemed to realize something, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, did you talk about your sadness?"
Ellie smiled and shook her head, "No, actuallyβ"
Suddenly, a magic suddenly appeared and flew towards Shirin, and for a while, Shirin's eyes became sharp, and he immediately protected Ellie, and before he could stand in front of Ellie, a black long sword stabbed over.
Shirin was shocked, and Ellie was surprised.
"Be careful!"
Ellie stood in front of Shirin, and the black long sword passed directly through the bodies of the two, and for a moment, the two of them couldn't help but flash those fragments that had made them painful.
The two of them stood in place with a blank expression, but it was only for a moment, and the next second, they recovered.
"Be careful, Ellie!"
Regardless of what was happening, Shirin immediately adjusted his posture and stood in front of Ellie, and at the same time, the magic in his hand was also ready at any time.
At this time, a figure in the distance slowly appeared in front of the two, and the moment he saw each other, Schilling immediately frowned.
"It's you!"
"Lord, master!"
The person who appeared in front of the two was none other than Kaos.
"I remember you, your name seems to be Shirin!" Kaos looked at him with the same frown.
And Ellie, who was behind Shirin, rushed directly to Kaos.
"Master!"
"Master?"
Shirin was a little surprised, and the moment he saw Ellie, Kaos smiled.
"Ellie!"
Ellie happily came to Kaos, but as soon as she got to Ellie, Kaos gently knocked Ellie on the head with a knife.
"Oops!"
"Say, why haven't you come back now?" Kaos asked with a deliberate serious face.
β......β
Ellie bowed her head in embarrassment.
"I ...... I just wanted to go out and buy something, and then I accidentally got lost......" Ellie whispered.
"But it was the big brother in the back who brought me here. At the same time, Ellie pointed at Shirin and said.
"Oh?
Kaos looked at Shirin, and when he saw that there was no malicious intent, Shirin walked over as well.
"I'm so sorry to attack you all of a sudden. Kaos said apologetically.
"Huh, is that the one who just made the move?"
Kaos smiled and replied: "That's right, seeing that Ellie was not in the room, I was a little anxious, I thought she was in some danger, so I made a move, but fortunately stopped in time, otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to speak well, and then thank you for bringing Ellie back." β
Shirin could feel that Kaos seemed to be genuine, and it was very different from the first time he saw Kaos, who felt much friendlier now than he did when he first met.
Shirin also shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just a coincidence." β
"Yes, but thank you for bringing Ellie back. β
"Master, master, I'm a little hungry!" said Ellie, pulling at the hem of Kaos's coat.
"Well, I'll take you to eat first!"
Kaos smiled, and he turned to Shirin, "I owe you a favor! β
"You don't need to return the gift, it's really just a trivial thing. Schilling said with a shuffle.
Kaos smiled and shook his head, "You'll have to think about it, after allβ"
Kaos suddenly leaned into Shirin's ear.
"This is about the trial in three days, the lives of all the participants of the Divinyas Academy!"
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Kaos stepped back suddenly, and the faint smile on his face seemed to carry a chill.
"I'll be waiting for you in my room tonight. β
With that, Kaos took Ellie away, leaving Shirin alone in surprise.
......
Shirin hesitated, he didn't know if it was true or false, after all, judging by what Kaos said, he was exaggerating, and even seemed ridiculous to him.
However, this afternoon's contact made him feel that Kaos did not seem to be a vicious person, and judging from Ellie's evaluation of Kaos, Shirin preferred to believe that Kaos was a good person, and he did not want to believe that someone like Ellie could lie, nor did he want to believe that Kaos would cheat on a naΓ―ve girl like Ellie.
So, in the evening, with a feeling of doubt, Shirin came to Kaos's room, he took a deep breath and knocked on Kaos's door gently, and soon, the door of the room opened, only to see Kaos walk out.
"Yo, you're here!" Kaos said with a smile the moment he saw Shirin.
"Of course, after all, I also care a little about what you say. β
"Indeed!"
Kaos turned his head and said, "Ellie, I'll be out for a while and I'll be back soon, you stay in the room and don't run around." β
With that, Kaos closed the door, and to be on the safe side, Kaos even cast a seal with magic.
"Let's find a place where no one is around!"
"Okay!"
......
The two came downstairs to the dormitory, and at this time of time, unless there is something, there are basically no people passing by, and even if someone passes by Kaos, he is confident that he will find it and stop the topic as soon as possible.
"It should be okay here!" Shirin asked.
Kaos nodded, "Of course! I believe there is no better place to be. β
"So what's going on with the Survival Tournament in three days, why do you say that the people from the Divinyas Academy will die!"
Shirin suddenly became excited, but it's right to think about it, after all, the other party inexplicably said that his classmates would die, which I believe no one can understand.
Kaos smiled and said, "The trial after three days is actually just a massacre between Rodon's minions, and the so-called trial is just a front, and the Diwenyas Academy involved in it is just a ring. β
Shirin was stunned for a moment, Kaos suddenly said so many words that he couldn't understand, and he said very bluntly: "I don't understand what you mean. β
Kaos also explained unexpectedly: "Of course you don't know, because in a gentle environment like Oslea, there is no such dangerous darkness exposed, and since you helped Ellie today, I almost hurt you, so I don't want to owe you this favor, but I advise you to withdraw from this trial, of course, in this case, I am afraid that the people of the Diwenyas Academy will suffer heavy casualties." β
Schilling thought for a moment and said, "But I still don't understand why the matter of your St. Grand Academy should involve the Diwenyas Academy. β
"Oh-" Kaos's expression turned cold, "When you're fighting someone to the death, do you care about accidentally stepping on the worm under your feet?"
