Chapter 50: The Deceased
In the face of Adella's questioning, countless thoughts collided back and forth in Jiwen's mind, making him unable to make up his mind at all.
Whether to confess the secrets of the forbidden god space to Adellia, or to continue to bear Adella's distrust. Or was this interrogation just a temptation for Curzon to ask Adella to do?
If it was just Adelia alone, Givens might have told her about the existence of the Forbidden God Space. But if it was that old Curzon trying to find out the secrets of the forbidden god space, Ji Wen would not dare to take the risk. If the secret were revealed, Given's hard time imagining what would happen.
So, Given's eventual retreat, because what Quintus the Birdman had said came back to Given's heart.
Don't tell your summoner everything you do. Don't let them know what you're thinking!
Givens struggled to choose his words and replied cautiously.
"I got the powder of the reversal hedron and had it identified, and I also traced the recent transactions of the reversal hedron in the city through Quinn, and finally determined that it was Tini. As for Enya, I just happened to know that Elder Curzon suspected that it was all a demonic conspiracy. ”
Adella's eyes widened in surprise, what Jivan had admitted coincided with Curzon-sensei's guess, he did have a completely different behavior from a normal summoned beast. This feeling of being completely unable to control the summoned beast made Adelia feel an inexplicable danger.
"I was next to you when I summoned you, how could you get the hedron powder from the ceremony?" Elder Curzon said that he had collected the hedron powder left over from the ceremony, but it was inexplicably missing. ”
Adella's question was even more straightforward, pointing to what Givens wanted to hide the most.
"This ...... I can't say. Givens whispered a refusal.
"Why?"
"If I did, it might have unforeseen consequences. In that case, I may not be able to help you again. Givens thought that if this secret spread, Quintus might never get the chance to be summoned again, and from now on, people would be on guard against summoned beasts in every possible way.
"I swear I'll keep it a secret. Adelia asked.
After a long silence, Givens still replied refused.
"Really...... No way. ”
Adella finally gave up after looking at the resolute expression on Givin's disguised face. She sighed, then said plaintively, "You're all the same. ”
Jiwen was puzzled by this endless sentence, and he looked at Adella puzzled. But in the night, Adelia's expression, she continued to talk to herself.
"I always thought that Mr. Curzon was trustworthy. But he would rather deceive me, on the scroll, than tell me the truth, and these days, I thought you were the only one in the world who could be trusted, but you chose to deceive me in the first place
, refusing to tell the truth. ”
"Adelia, trust me, it's for your good. ”
"Jiwen, you don't need to explain, it's just that I'm too easy to trust people. You keep everything from me, keep me in the dark, and go as you wish. But I'm over 140 years old, and I'm not a kid anymore!"
Adelia said everything she wanted to say in one breath, for the elves with a lifespan of seven or eight hundred years, Adelia was still just a child in her one hundred and forty years. But Adelia, who has been through too many things, no longer wants to hand over her fate to others, even if she faces many dangers and difficulties, she wants to hold her future firmly in her hands.
At that moment, she quietly made up her mind:
You still have to rely on your own way to go your own way. If I don't even survive the Calling Academy, then I won't be able to take revenge. Even if it's on my own, I'm going to have to solve the mystery behind the summoning ritual!
After thinking this out, Adelia said to Given.
"Jiwen, you go back first. I can walk this road alone. ”
The change in Adella's tone surprised Given, but he didn't plan to return to the Forbidden God Space yet, he reminded in a low voice.
"But I haven't taken the book yet, I wonder if I can ...... it"
The books that Givens bought from Adelia last time were still in Adelia's bedroom, and Gilvan planned to take them back and study them. If you wait for Adelia's next summon, I don't know when it will be.
But now Adelia is obviously in a bad mood, and her attitude towards herself is still so indifferent, so Jiwen tried not to irritate her and didn't say what she was going to do.
Adelia looked up, she knew that Jiwen must have his own plans and thoughts again, and there was something behind her that she didn't know. But now she has no desire to ask at all, and just replied without emotion: "I forgot about this, so you can follow for the time being." ”
Adelia turned around and walked towards the path to the Summoning Academy.
Jiwen looked at her back from behind, and his heart was full of emotion.
Adelia was in a very strange state now, just before stepping into Elder Curzon's house, Adelia still looked grief-stricken, but now the haze of powerlessness had been swept away on her face.
This made Givens wonder what was going on in that room.
At the same time that Givens and Adella left Elder Curzon's home and returned to the Summoning Academy. Elder Curzon changed his coat in his room and put on several of the magic items he usually used. But just when he was ready for everything and was about to go out.
The door to the study suddenly opened, and a figure hiding in a black cloak walked in silently.
Curzon immediately quietly clenched the ring on his hand and took a step back. But he quickly recognized the figure hidden under the black cloak, so he let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Zhuo Enmi, you are really unlucky, I have something to go out now." ”
The man lifted his cloak, revealing long blond hair and a dignified face. This mysterious visitor is indeed the Lady Prince of the Kingdom of Solland, Choenmi.
Zhuo Enmi, who showed supreme majesty in front of others, laughed like a naughty child at this moment.
"Teacher Curzon, are you going to protect that child? It's okay, I've already let my little goblin follow them. ”
Hearing Zhuo Enmi's words, Curzon's expression relaxed, because he knew that the little goblin beside Zhuo Enmi had terrifying strength that did not match her stature in the slightest.
"You've come to Sodima, but I haven't heard anything at all. ”
Curzon walked over to his recliner and lay down. In front of Djonnmi, he also seems to have forgotten all the etiquette that should be in the face of the royal family.
"It's a little thing about the King's Sword. Dzoenmi explained, and then found a chair to sit down on.
Curzon nodded, King's Sword missions are usually hidden events that don't see the light.
"Then you've come to me, an old man, for a mission with the King's Sword?" Curzon asked casually, rocking up his chaise longue.
"No, I'm for that kid. ”
"Is it the King's Sword that has discovered her?" asked Curzon quietly. He knew that for Adelia, both the King's Sword and the demons were extremely dangerous enemies.
"How is it possible, Mr. Curzon, don't forget, I am now one of the guardians of the King's Sword, and Sodima is also in my jurisdiction, so there will be no information leaking from my fingers. Zhuo Enmi said with some smugness, and his expression was clearly showing off.
Looking at Zhuo Enmi's expression, Curzon couldn't help but laugh, and he complimented him like a child: "It turns out that Zhuo Enmi, who can only mischievous, is already so capable. ”
Zoenmi raised her eyebrows and laughed as well, the conversation reminded her of her time at the royal court decades ago. However, after a brief memory, the unforgiving reality immediately pulled Djonnmi back from her memories, and she quickly asked, "Teacher Curzon, I heard that the demon seems to have discovered the child's traces. ”
The smile on Curzon's face disappeared in an instant, and he said with some concern, "Yes, they even interfered in the child's summoning ceremony, although I haven't figured out what they want to do, but that must not be a good thing." ”
"It seems that the demon has already guessed the puzzle you laid at that time. ”
"I've been lying to those guys for eighty years, and I'm content. It's just that they are going to fight back again. Curzon sighed,
"And what about the future?" asked Dzoenmi, uneasy. Now that the demons knew their goal, it would be difficult for Elder Curzon to protect that child with the meager strength of Elder Curzon alone.
"She's graduating this year, and I'm going to take her north to hide after that. ”
"Are you changing your identity again? I still remember what happened when you came here to give up your position in the court. ”
Hearing this, Curzon laughed proudly.
"Little Djounmi, you know what I'm best at, and I'm going to fool these winged guys one more time. ”
Zoenmi didn't smile this time, because she felt that the burden on the old man's body was too heavy.
"But I've heard she's preparing to sign up for the Calling Academy's selection exam. ”
"I've persuaded her to give up, the royal capital is really a dangerous place. ”
"I hope she can stick to the exam and then go to the royal capital as a freshman at the Royal Summoning Academy. ”
"Why?" Curzon's eyes widened in surprise.
"Although the royal capital is dangerous, it is also the most difficult place for demons to interfere, at least we don't have to deal with two enemies at the same time. Djonnmi explains.
"But my reputation in that place is so bad that I won't be able to use my legs and feet when the time comes. When Curzon thought of the circumstances surrounding his departure from the royal capital, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Zhuo Enmi puffed up his chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, Teacher Curzon. When the time comes, I will protect this child. ”
Curzon looked up at Zoenmi in front of him. At this moment, Zhuo Enmi put away the naughty expression just now, re-restrained his expression, and returned to the posture of a female prince familiar to his subjects in the past. That aura suddenly moved Curzon, and he muttered, "Zhuo Enmi, you've grown up. ”
"Yes, please leave this task to me. Djonnmi pleaded.
"Let me think about it again, this question must be taken seriously. For the first time, Curzon's position loosened. He had already decided to take Adelia out of the limelight. But the appearance and persistence of Zhuo Enmi made him start to consider another possibility.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place, and under the protection of Djoenmi's wings, Adelia may be safer.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news. ”
Zhuo Enmi nodded, such a big matter should also give the teacher and the organization time to discuss.
"By the way, are you here just for this?" Curzon sensed that Djounmi had come to visit herself, and that there should be more than that.
