Chapter 5
"You three let's play on the boat for a while, I still have some goods to deal with here, as for Aquaa's affairs, don't worry about it for the time being," Anna said to Lucy Wendy and Xia Lulu, and then walked towards the center of the ship and disappeared from Lucy's field of vision.
After Anna left, Lucy and the cat also began to inquire about the ship, but the ship was a boat, and after looking at it for ten seconds, they also found that there was nothing to see and nothing to play, and it might even disturb the work of the workers.
So the two of them walked in the direction where Anna had disappeared, and it took a minute or two to hear Anna's voice as they walked.
"Can you lend me your sword before you go back to Etoya?" was Anna's voice.
"What are you borrowing a sword for......" Then another male voice sounded, and it sounded familiar, and Lucy and the others also heard footsteps coming over, and soon they saw Anna and the young Xiu they had seen half a month ago.
"Why are you here" Anna saw Lucy and asked suspiciously, "Forget it, I don't have anything to do here, come home with me......"
Before Lucy could speak, the boy asked, "You borrowed the sword for them?" and the boy looked at Anna.
"Hmm," Anna nodded, "It's about breaking the law, is it okay?" Anna asked again.
"Tell me about it, I can think about it......" The boy looked at Lucy Wendy and Xia Lulu and whispered.
"Thank you then, Xiu ......" Anna smiled.
Anna's home, this place was originally repaired, but Xiu no longer lives here, but the house is still there, so it is lent to Anna to live in.
"Because of the rules of the astral realm, although the key of Aquarius has reappeared, it is forbidden to pass because of the rules" After Anna's explanation, Xiu already understood why Anna wanted to borrow her sword.
"But......" Xiu paused and looked at Anna, "since the key is already alive, but ......"
Before Xiu could finish his words, he saw a flash of light in Anna's hand, and a golden key appeared in her hand, "Okay, follow me......" Xiu sighed slightly, then stood up and walked to the second floor.
Xiu got up and Anna also stood up, "You three just sit here for the time being, wait for me to go up and remove the rules on the key and give it to you"
Lucy, who was originally planning to follow, was stunned by Anna's words, and they were not allowed to follow, and then they could only watch Xiu and Anna disappear into the stairwell on the second floor.
"If you don't let us follow, is the boss's sword important?" said Lucy, confused, and sat down again.
"Breaking the spell, and being able to remove the rules of the Star Spirit Realm, should be a very powerful sword, so it's important," Wendy nodded in response.
"It should be like this, breaking the law should mean breaking magic, but there is still such a weapon in the world, and it is still in the hands of a merchant, but ...... It is also the most suitable weapon to protect yourself," Xia Lulu analyzed.
Lucy and Wendy nodded, and didn't think much about it, after all, there are too many magic in this world, and it is not strange what kind of magic they have, and they know that Xiuben is a very large magic dealer, but they ignore one important point, a crucial point, that is, the rules, the rules of the astral spirit world, maybe it's just that their experience is too low, maybe they just haven't thought of it at all.
Second floor
When Anna watched Xiu pull out a rectangular box from under the bed she had slept in all this time, she knew what was inside.
"You actually put this thing under the bed?" Anna looked at Xiu in a voice of disbelief.
"You've been living in this house for a while, and you haven't checked it?" Xiu turned his head to look at Anna instead.
"This house is yours, I dare to inspect it, and I have only lived in it for less than half a month, and I have only been the store manager for a month, and the rest of the time I have been in Etea to understand your current situation"
At this time, Xiu had already opened the box and took out a silver sword from inside, Anna looked at Xiu with a silver face and looked at Xiu, and couldn't help but recall the first time she saw him.
"Why don't you keep it with you, but keep it here......" Anna asked softly.
"It's not already...... Is there no dragon to kill?"
"......" Anna was silent for a moment, and at the same time remembered the incident of that night half a month ago, she didn't tell Xiu about it, and even she didn't know why she didn't tell Xiu.
"What's wrong?" Xiu looked at Anna and seemed to see what Anna was thinking.
"No, nothing," Anna chuckled softly and shook her head, so wait.
"Still, I think you're better with it all the time, after all, this sword ......," Anna said and stopped.
"No need, it's over, I'll ask you to help me seal this sword" Xiu held the sword and slowly stood up, and at the same time his hand lightly swiped on the blade, and suddenly a trace of blood attached to it.
Anna had also taken out the key to Aquarius at this time, and a golden light shone and then the key slowly floated in the air.
"This sword is only what it really looks like when you're in your hand," Anna whispered, as the golden glow of the key shone brightly, turning the room in a layer of gold.
"But the sword has no effect......" Xiuya replied softly, watching the key floating in the air and emitting a golden light, slowly raising the silver sword in his hand, and in an instant, the blood-colored light overwhelmed the golden light, and at the same time, it flashed in the room with an aura that seemed to destroy everything.
Looking at the Aquarius Key, which at this time was no longer emitting a golden light, but a blue light, Anna whispered, "That's it...... Isn't it useful?"

Lucy: They waited only ten minutes in the living room on the first floor before they saw Anna and Xiu come down.
"First, Anna senior" Lucy and the three of them immediately stood up when they saw Anna.
"Hmm," Anna replied slightly, and then looked behind her, "Are you really not going to take a break?"
"Well, there's nothing for me to do here, and there's nothing for me to stay here with you here," Xiu nodded slightly.
"Okay, this is your home anyway, and I'm just borrowing to live with you, you can come back whenever you want, and I will definitely take good care of this house for you."
"Hmm," Xiu replied, then walked to the door, opened it, and disappeared from everyone's view.
After Xiu left completely, Anna looked at Lucy and the others, "You guys sit down first, if you have anything you want to eat, I'll make it for you......"
"Great, I can eat Anna's food again" Wendy was immediately excited when she heard Anna's words, in her memory, Anna had always taken care of her, and she had been eating Anna's food for a short time.
"My ancestors know how to cook," Lucy was taken aback.
"Well, Anna-sensei's cooking skills are very high," Wendy immediately exclaimed.
"Hehe, it's not that good, my cooking level was also forced to learn, in my time, to survive, you had to learn to make food......"
"Four hundred years ago, it's a completely unfamiliar word to us, even Wendy, who was also four hundred years ago, doesn't know what kind of existence it was like in that era," Xia Lulu looked at Wendy and said.
"Anna senior, why don't we help you make it together, teach us how to cook, and at the same time, we also want to ask what kind of era four hundred years is, and Akunororia...... What kind of person is this man, he is the enemy of humanity...... Or to save humanity...... Hero," Xia Lulu looked at Anna and said slowly in a calm voice.
"Four hundred years ago, Akunororia......" Anna was silent for a moment before looking at Charlot, then at Lucy and Wendy.
"Well, I'll tell you about four hundred years ago," Anna replied to Xia Lulu with a slight smile.
Hearing Anna's answer, Lucy and the others were excited, but before they could do so, they needed to help Anna cook.
Xiu, who came out of the house, squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, took a heavy breath, and suddenly the strong smell of the sea entered his lungs, and he was going to sea again, Etya, I'm afraid I won't come back here for half a year when I go back to Etya this time.
It's not that he can't come back, it's that he simply doesn't want to come back, because there's nothing left, what can he do......? World...... Somewhat...... It's boring......
But...... Forget it, let's go back and see that guy...... Xiu lowered his head, sighed, and walked in the direction of the docks.
………………
What was the world 400 years ago? Maybe the historical record of the present world is a chaotic and dark world, but ...... Is that really the case?
Is there no place for peace and light in a world of chaos and darkness?
Four hundred years ago......
This world is almost ruled by dragons, humans are just one of the largest biological races under the rule of dragons, there are many other races in this world, but the races that can help dragons rule this world are ...... There are only human beings left.
In this world ruled by dragons, human beings as a tool for dragons to rule the world naturally get the benefits that other races can't get, magic, humans gradually learned a lot of powerful magic from dragons, they began to abandon their only magic created by themselves, but because of this, humans have gradually become stronger, although they are still vulnerable under the absolute strength of dragons, but they have indeed become the second race after dragons.
And as the first race in this world, it is also the existence at the top of the food chain in this world, the continuous reproduction of the dragon race, the world is also evolving over time, and gradually under the rule of the dragon race, some races began to perish, with the continuous extinction of these races, the food chain of this world gradually began to change, and finally the human beings who noticed these changes also began to find that the dragon clan as the ruler of the dragon clan in its own status also extended more and more of the dragon's mouth to the human race.

X343
I don't know when this calendar started, but it is unanimously believed that it began in the year when the dragons ruled the world, but no one can say exactly when the dragons began to rule the world, and this calendar has become a point of confusion.
It's confusing, but it's the only calendar in the world.
Asya Frontier
It's not a trail but it's a trail, it's just that there are too many people walking here, and at this time, there are two figures walking slowly on this trail.
The figures were one big and one small, and as they slowly walked in, they could see a black-haired boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, and a little girl with sky-blue hair about seven or eight years old.
The young man's expression looked calm, as if he had experienced strong winds and waves, but the little girl was a little chattering, her hand tightly grasping the young man's sleeve, as if she was afraid that she would be lost.
If you pay close attention, you can see that the boy is also taking care of the little girl, although he did not hold the little girl and did not say anything, but his steps were the same as the little girl, and the boy deliberately slowed down his pace.
"Brother...... Elder brother...... I...... I'm hungry......" The little girl's soft voice sounded, and there was some hesitation in her voice, as if she was afraid that the boy would not answer.
Hearing the little girl's answer, the young man looked around silently for a moment before slowly speaking, "Wait a minute, do you see the mountain in front of you, there is food over there......"
The little girl raised her head and looked at the mountain in the distance that she didn't know how long it would take to walk to "Hmm......" The little girl nodded slightly, in fact, she hadn't eaten for almost a day, and if she hadn't eaten, it meant that the teenager hadn't eaten, and she couldn't bear to say this sentence when she was hungry.
The little girl remembered the day before, because it had caused the boy to lose food for the day's journey.
Raising his head and looking at the young man, although there was no food, the little girl would not complain about him, this young man was not his own brother, speaking of which he was just his own savior, he rescued himself from the dragon's claws three days ago, and then protected himself under the attack of the thieves a day ago, how could he complain to the young man.
I can still eat this bit of suffering, and it's not that I haven't been hungry, but this time I've been hungry for a longer time, and my parents are no longer by my side......
A tear flowed slightly from the little girl's blue pupils, and then was quickly wiped away by the little girl's other hand......
It's okay, Squia...... Even if Mom and Dad...... If you're gone, you'll be alive and well, because ......
The little girl looked up again and looked at the boy, it seemed that the boy noticed the little girl's vision, and then he saw the little girl's slightly red eyes.
Afraid that the boy would see that she was crying again, the little girl hurriedly lowered her head.
It's okay, Sikia, you still have your brother to protect you...... The little girl kept repeating this sentence to herself.
"If you don't have the strength, I'll carry you away," the young man's voice echoed in the little girl's ears.
