Chapter 226: Starry Night's Misunderstanding
"I... At best, I have a slight affection for her," Ayton weakly defended himself.
What the hell is going on?Starry Night turned her head to look at Ariel again, her expression extremely strange.
"A little??hmph, how much is that?" Ariel's expression grew colder, and Ayton swore he had never seen her look like this, and stretched out two fingers of his right hand to form a small slit.
"That's all there is to it, I just see that she is a little pitiful and alone, and she also promised to teach me light magic, so I will help her a little, and at the same time we can also learn about the fighting style of human magicians. ”
How do human mages fight?Big Brother Ayton speaks so strangely... Starry Night's eyes scanned back and forth on the faces of the two, and they couldn't find a chance to speak for a while.
"Look at her pitiful again?!Just like you did with Yiluli and Mu Yue, as well as Lan Coco?"
"Uh... Sort of."
Huh!?Did Big Brother Ayton help her because she saw the pity of Sister Wing and that Forest Elf Sister in the first place?Who is Lan Coco?Starry Night tilted his head and began to curiously get some information from the conversation between the two.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, you see, aren't we separated from them, and we may never meet again. ”
Ariel's eyes gradually sank, and her fingers hooked a strand of black hair hanging down on her chest, and gently kneaded it in the palm of her fingers: "Very good, then I want you to answer me two questions loudly and quickly now"
Ayton didn't know why, but in order to calm her emotions, he still puffed up his chest: "Just ask"
"First of all, do you like her because she has black hair and black eyes, and you think she is very beautiful?"
"No," Ayton opened his mouth and swallowed back, if he only answered no, wouldn't that mean that he didn't like her because of her appearance.
"I didn't like her, I just treated her as an ordinary friend, because she was the same as us, and her identity was unseemly"
Is it because of the identity of a dark mage? Could it be that the sister named Angel is also a dark mage, and she is jealous of Sister Ariel's beauty? No, Sister Ariel's is also very beautiful... Starry Night Rational Analysis...
"You just hesitated..."
"......" Ayton had nothing to say.
"Second question, tell me, why do you want to become like her?" Ariel said in a clear voice with her hands on her hips, women have an obsession with the change of appearance, especially the change of her appearance under the influence of magic, this human appearance is by no means as beautiful as the appearance of her dark elves in her eyes.
"This... Didn't I tell you before" Ayton shrank his head and skimmed the corner of his eye in the direction of the starry night.
Starry Night: "???"
"Alright then, I'll change the question, you'll have to answer me quickly" Ariel didn't waver in the slightest, staring straight at Ayton, trying to find a trace of lying.
Under such high pressure, a trace of sweat oozed from Ayton's forehead, and he straightened his chest again, but this time he was a little less confident than last time, "You ask"
"What kind of appearance do you like?"
"Silver-haired, red-eyed, pointy... Pointed. Ayton suddenly noticed the starry night that was stunned in place, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he was stunned for a while, and looked at Ariel weakly: "Or... Can you change the question, or can we go back to our room?"
"No, that's all for today" Ariel retracted her gaze and turned to walk towards the second floor.
Ayton noticed that the girl's Xue Nen neck next to him was quickly dyed with a layer of blush, and it spread to his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he opened his mouth: "Starry Night, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that..."
The girl's head was buried very low, and the tips of her silver hair were held in the palm of her hand, without making a sound, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"That's... You go back to the room to rest first, don't think too much like her, I'll go upstairs first" Ayton knew that he couldn't explain clearly, and rushed up to the second floor as if he was running away, grabbed Ariel's ear, who was about to watch a good show, and screwed back to the room under the girl's pleading.
Silver-haired red-eyed... Like... Sister Raya, what you said... No, it probably won't
Starry Night stayed alone and didn't move for a long time...
At the same time, in the southern area of Huangyao City, halfway up the mountainside, Cexili looked at the corpses of the Blackfinger members all over the ground with a complicated expression, and they were buried in the wet and soft soil one after another.
Judging from the sightings of many people at the scene, there is no doubt that the murderers are the two young men with black hair and black eyes.
However, in the early morning, the captain of the Horn security team also ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but it was past noon, but the investigation had not been launched for a long time, as if an invisible hand held up the matter, and it was impossible to prepare.
Cecily glanced at the top of the silent hill, where she didn't know how many nameless bones were buried. There is still no news of the murderer of the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce executives in the Eastern End, and two members of the Duke of Halle's family have disappeared in the vicinity, but neither of them has the heart to investigate the cause of death, but silently recruits new agents.
From morning to night, there are always a few people missing in Huangyao City, and the laws of the kingdom are like a blank sheet of paper.
"Miss Cerseily, Captain Horn has ordered the team to be closed," said a colleague who stepped forward respectfully, no one here dared to call her by her name, and although they were colleagues, they always kept a greater or lesser distance. Over time, Cecily had become accustomed to this pattern.
"Join the team, aren't they going to investigate this anymore? They must have some family, what will be their reaction?"
Fellow knight smiled bitterly: "These people are the black fingers of the Southern District, they are all extremely vicious, how can they have any family, even if they have, they will not care whether they live or die." ”
"I see, you tell Captain Horn that I'm taking half a day off"
Colleagues were accustomed to her asking for leave, and even wished that she would ask for leave, so they bowed down and turned to leave.
Cecily looked out at the damp hills, and even in the summer heat, there was a lingering cold and wet swamp gas in the air. It is inaccessible, and there is often a black howl in the middle of the night...
Suddenly, the red-haired female knight stared, there were many broken branches nearby, smooth facets, and sharp swords!
Is it another homicide!?
This discovery made her feel like a treasure, and when she looked around, she suddenly found that a lot of vegetation had been blown to the east and west, brushing away the ground covered with dead branches, and she was pleasantly surprised to find the messy footprints in it, according to its depth, Cerseily estimated that the battle had taken place last night!
Captain Horn knew that the eldest lady of the Campbell family didn't like to be followed, and had left with the security patrol.
Cerseily didn't catch up either, because even if they told them that there was a fight last night, they wouldn't be bored to investigate, but would persuade her to leave it alone.
As she walked up the hill, she suddenly spotted two shovels with marks of being turned over! It was also turned over last night, and there must be something buried in it!
Surprised by this discovery, Cerseily picked up her shovel and began to dig, when suddenly the shovel hit a hard object, and she decided to dig with her bare hands to avoid damage.
After a while, the pale and puffy slender male face appeared on the surface, and the stench of the corpse rushed to her face, and Cecily hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, her face was particularly ugly, she stood up in a cold heart, paused for a moment, and continued to dig with the discomfort in her stomach.
Soon, the whole slender man's body surfaced, and there was terrible pain and fear in her unblinded eyes, and she slowly closed his eyes, seeing that his clothes were those of Duke Halle's family, and the time of death was just last night.
Although the Campbells and Hallers do not have a good relationship, one is in charge of the Shining Blue Knights and the other is in charge of the Shining Blue Magic Legion.
But at this time, two more people died inexplicably, which made the eldest lady who was determined to maintain Huangyao City a little indignant, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... She had sworn to uphold chivalry and protect the weak, but now there were homicides in the middle of the night.
In this world, everyone's ability is stretched to the extreme, there will always be people who rely on their own strength to be unscrupulous, maybe the whole Huangyao, only Cerseili dares to stand up for justice, maybe in her impression, the brother and sister who rescued the poor girl from the Black Finger headquarters that day are also 'like-minded'.
The murderer must be caught, Huangyao City can't go on like this... Cecily clenched her fists and looked in the direction of her footsteps, because the soil of the hill was so soft that the footprints left by ordinary people could not be erased, and the red-haired female knight slowly brushed away the dead leaves and followed the trail towards the top of the hill.
There were two missing people, and her gut told her that the other must be ahead!
