Chapter 44: Goodbye Hitomi

Thoughts come back to the present.

After hesitating for a moment, Balin silently picked up his pen and drew on the paper.

'I didn't want to give it to you, but for the sake of the Dark Orb, no, it's a fraud orb, hey, count yourself lucky. ’

'Brian, you don't blame me for giving your life's work to a dark elf. ’

But it seems that he is a loving man, and he should not use these things to harm our dwarf country, otherwise we will become sinners through the ages." ’

......

Ayton and Ariel returned to the cave, it was noon, and Ayton planned to memorize all the knowledge on the paper, and he probably wouldn't have time to memorize it when Luna and the others arrived......

The next night, the four of Ayton had just finished dinner, and Lisa Tower and Luna arrived as scheduled, but this time there were two more Sheena and Anna, and Sheena made a special trip to thank Ayton and Ariel, and also brought Anna over for the event by the way. Because she knew Ayton, they didn't have any prejudice against slaves.

Eight people sat around and had a lot of fun

......

Then the days went by like this, and in the blink of an eye, it came to 20 days later.

Ayton got up early and headed to the Trials with Ariel.

He wanted to say goodbye to Hitomi before leaving, and once he left this time, he didn't know how long it would take to see her, or maybe goodbye. For that promise that day, he had to go see her, even if Hitomi forcibly left him there.

Yesterday he told Luna, Hirna, and Lisata that they would train in the Land of Trials for the next three days, so that they should not come and disturb him. At the same time, he also told Mu Yue and the two that if he didn't come back two days later, he would let Mu Yue secretly take Yiluli away in the middle of the night, which caused the latter to be reluctant for a while.

......

At the edge of the core of the Trials. This was at the junction of the white pillar of light and the blood moon, and the light was unusually dim.

Ahead was a steep cliff, and there were faint traces of bat blood on the ground, and Ariel's eyes couldn't help but be hazy when she saw her.

"Is that where my brother jumped in the first place?"

Ayton put his arm around her shoulders and comforted, "Don't worry, I'm not alive and fine."

"You are not allowed to do such dangerous things in the future. Ariel pouted and looked at Ayton.

"Good, good, I promise you. Ayton chuckled in agreement, then pulled a long rope from the Dark Orb and tied it to a large tree.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came.

"Hitomi!" Ayton watched in surprise as Hitomi hovered in midair. I don't know if it's a coincidence, Hitomi actually found out about his arrival at once. She had said that she usually stayed next to the white pillar of light in the heart of the Trials, because the farther away from the pillar of light it became, the darker it became.

It was only because the blood moon shone directly into the depths that she came out to wander around and meet Ayton that day, and it is estimated that the only dark elves she met were Ayton and the former dark elf master mother a hundred years ago.

Ariel also looked curiously at the black-haired black-eyed girl in mid-air, she had already heard Ayton say that she might be a ninth-order powerhouse.

"Ayton!" Hitomi flew up to Ayton's side and looked at him with delight, as if he hadn't deceived himself.

Ayton touched Hitomi's little head. "How's this time going?"

"Miss You"

Hearing this, Ariel secretly became vigilant in her heart, if Hitomi and herself robbed her brother, she would be the first to agree, but she heard that Hitomi originally wanted to keep Ayton to accompany her.

“...... Well, let me introduce you, this is my sister Ariel. Ayton pulled Ariel, who leaned directly on his shoulder.

"Hello, Hitomi, thank you for saving my brother. Ariel looked at Hitomi with a smile on her face, but there was a faint sense of alienation in the depths of her eyes, she was a ninth-order powerhouse.

"Hello, Sister Ariel, I've heard Ayton talk about you a lot. Seeing one more playmate, Hitomi immediately showed an innocent and pure smile. This made Ariel feel a little ashamed.

"Hitomi, let's go down first. "Ayton is afraid that another dark elf will come.

"Hmm," Hitomi directly picked up the two and flew towards the bamboo lake next to the white pillar of light. The view of the sky made Ariel exclaim, she didn't feel the feeling of looking down from the sky on TV that Ayton used to feel.

After landing.

"Hitomi, I've got something good for you. Ayton looked at Hitomi still in a black dress, she didn't have anything extra here, not even the most basic house, and she slept on the stone slab every day when she was tired.

"What is it?" Hitomi looked at him curiously

Ayton took out some clothes, bedding, rope, two pieces of 99% pure iron, and so on.

"Thank you. Hitomi hugged her clothes and said happily, the clothes were all worn by Ariel when she was a child, and now they are just right for Hitomi, who looks 13 years old.

"We're helping you build a house. ”

"House?" Hitomi doesn't seem to have the concept of a house yet.

"It's where you sleep every night. ”

"What is going to be done with the house?"

"Ariel and I will do it for you, first by chopping the bamboo. "He's going to help Hitomi make a bamboo house.

Ayton beckoned Ariel, who was looking at the white pillar of light with curiosity, and Ayton called twice before reacting.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my chest. Ariel rubbed the place of her heart.

"Ah, then you can rest first. Ayton worried.

"No, I'm fine now. Ariel immediately jumped over and patted her chest, indicating that she was fine.

“...... Alright, don't force yourself" Ayton looked at Ariel suspiciously, she hadn't been like this before. "Is it under the influence of that demon lord?"

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the bamboo forest, and dozens of bamboos were broken in unison and fell to the ground.

"Is that so?" Hitomi looked at Ayton faintly.

“......”

"Well done, Hitomi. "The hardness of black bamboo is twice as strong as that of ordinary bamboo, and the pupil will cut it off with a wave of his hand, and this efficiency is no one.

So Ayton and Ariel stepped forward to build a bamboo hut together, but Ayton had lived in a cave before and had never built a bamboo hut, so he could only do it by feeling.

Hitomi doesn't understand at all, so he can only take on the role of a porter next to him, and the efficiency of a ninth-order powerhouse as a porter is very good, and Ayton can come whatever he wants with a wave of his hand, and even if he wants to drink water, he can get a ball of water.

......

Finally, the bamboo house was built, and Ayton at the bottom got some cyan stone bricks from an abandoned magic circle near the lake to press the ground, and the compact green bricks pressed the black soil on the ground very tightly.

Surrounded by a tight array of bamboo, with a door and two windows, the inside was rudimentary, with only a bamboo bed, a table, and three bamboo chairs, but it was much better than before Hitomi.

"Hey, brother, there seems to be a magic inscription on this stone brick" Ariel cleared the green bricks under her feet, and suddenly found that the bluestone bricks on the floor had dull lines.

Ayton was suddenly startled, looking at the bluestone bricks covered in green moss, and if he didn't wipe the moss away, he couldn't see the magic lines that were completely covered. "I won't destroy the magic circle that sealed the demon lord."

Immediately, Ayton ran to the place where the bluestone slab was moved and took a closer look, and found that there were indeed traces of the magic array in this place, but a large number of formation slate inscriptions were scattered everywhere, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't pay attention to the rules at all.

And this seems to have gone through a big war.

"Hitomi, what happened here?"

Hitomi thought for a moment and replied, "That woman, the dark elves"

"Woman, dark elves?" Arielle blinked in confusion, Ayton understood, a hundred years ago the dark elf hostess came to this place, and there was a big battle with Hitomi, this original magic array was destroyed, and the asphalt inscription stone slabs were scattered everywhere, all covered with a layer of moss, and Ayton picked up the local slab bricks.

Whatever happened, a hundred years have passed, and these slabs are certainly not a big deal.

"Is there a magic array for all this, it's the same thing as that white pillar of light?"

"Hmm," Hitomi nodded.

"This..."Ayton couldn't help but look at Ariel, there were actually two demon lords sealed in the depths of the dark cave, but one of the sealing magic arrays was destroyed, so where did the demon lord go...

"But this... Sealing Array... White light... It dissipated a long time ago" Hitomi's next sentence dispelled the concerns of the two, Hitomi said that the white light does not dissipate, and the demon does not die.

Since this sealing array dissipated 'a long time ago', it means that this demon lord is dead, so there is no need to worry about whether they destroy this magic array.

Back at the cabin, Ayton put some bedding and clothes on the bed, although with her body will definitely not catch a cold at night, Ayton still hopes that she will live a more normal life.

Ayton then carved out an iron statue of himself and Ariel for Hitomi as a souvenir for her. The latter was immediately overjoyed by the lifelike iron, and Ayton was forced to carve two in her image and then save one of them for himself, saying that he could not forget himself......

By the time Ayton's plan was done, half a day had passed.

"Brother, it's time for us to go. "It's about 4 p.m., and if they don't go back, the light of the blood moon will dim, and they won't be able to see the way back, which is very dangerous in the depths of the Trials.

"Hmm, Hitomi...... It's time for us to go. ”

“...... Oh" Hitomi was still so reluctant, but she didn't force the two to stay.

"When will you come again?"

"This ......" Ayton was a little embarrassed, he had promised to come back to see her within a month of his last departure, and this time it could be goodbye. "It could be years...... It can even be decades before it comes."

"Decades?" Hitomi was a little puzzled, she still didn't know the concept of time, Ayton had explained it for a long time in order to make her understand it for a month, and she didn't know if she understood it or not.

"10 years" Looking at the girl's puzzled expression, Ayton still decided to give her a specific time, although I don't know if she accepted it, "It's 120 months." ”

"120 months ......" Hitomi lowered her head, revealing a trace of confusion and sadness in her eyes.

"Maybe it won't take 10 years...... I'll be able to come to you. Ayton wasn't sure, as he was having a hard time figuring out if he would ever be able to return to the Dark Cavern again.

“...... Hmm" The girl whispered in agreement.

"Well, then Ariel and I will go first. ”

"Hitomi, my brother and I will definitely come in ten years, don't worry. Through this period of getting along, she found that Tongyin was a little white and didn't understand anything, so her attitude towards her improved slightly.

"Can you stay with me again?" Hitomi asked in a whisper, as if she cherished every inch of her time.

Ayton glanced at the sky and figured that if Hitomi sent him up like he did last time, he would be able to stay for half an hour at most.

"Okay, I'll stay for another half hour, but you'll have to send Ariel and me up that cliff later. Ayton pointed to the cliff in the distance, the faint outline of which could only be seen from him.

"Hmm" Hitomi didn't know how long it was for half an hour, she just knew that Ayton would stay for a while.

"But what now?" asked Ariel, their plan already done.

"Take a bath" Hitomi glanced at the lake not far away and said lightly. She remembers the last time she felt comfortable in the shower with Ayton.
