Chapter 11: Q&A with the Witch (Part II)
"You don't seem to be worried at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Agidona, who also chuckled, looked at the two people in front of her without panic.
"Why worry. Red Lotus kept looking at Arashi, who gave her an equally trusting look in return. Honglian, who felt the tacit understanding of her partner, said with an exaggerated smile, "Aren't you guys who should be more worried than us?"
This remark is similar to barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but it reversed the whole situation at once, and the red lotus, who also put out the flag, used its own way to set off a counterattack.
"......" Akidona, who had fallen into a distraction all of a sudden, looked at the red lotus in a daze, her face became more and more surprised, and finally let out a comfortable laugh, "Hahaha...... Interesting, interesting. ”
The impassive Red Lotus quietly watched the opponent's gaffe. After the laughter faded and the mood calmed down, Agidona, who had already aroused interest, leaned forward and looked intently at the pastoral dog on the tea table.
"What if we choose to watch the world die?"
"Death, nothing to be afraid of. The despair and incompetence after defeat are the most tormenting places. You, who have been planning for 400 years, care more about the world than we do, don't you!"
"Hahaha, you are a good opponent, is this the castling of the king rook in chess language?"
"No, it's the anti-general. ”
Red Lotus tilted her head, answering Agidona's question. There was no momentary loss or smugness on their faces, because they knew that this game that belonged to them had just begun.
"Okay, okay, I lost that fight just now, and now it's your turn to ask questions. Akidonna stretched her waist, her chest curved slightly, and when she retracted it, she could only see the smoothness of her clothes.
Retracting her pathetic gaze, Red Lotus thought for a moment and asked, "Like Lan, I'm not interested in what you've done or how this continent will end. But I'm curious, why are you so convinced that we're going to work with you?"
"Everyone is in a hurry, let's talk openly and honestly, and take your hole cards out directly, so that you have this confident hole card. ”
"Because of the seal. Akidonna winked mischievously, and before Red Lotus rolled her eyes, she continued, "If you think of the seal as a lock, what do you think will be unlocking it. ”
"The key. Honglian replied angrily.
"And what if this key is someone you know?" Aegie Donna raised the corners of her mouth and smiled shallowly, "If the half-elf named Emilia uses her as one of the keys to break the seal, are you ready to refuse my cooperation in order to save her life? ”
"I'm Cao, is the head of our eldest sister the key to unlocking the seal?" Honglian's eyes widened suddenly, and she was speechless, "Hey, little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." If you do this again, I'm going to have someone beat you, you know?"
"She's made for this...... "Akidona smiled widely at Arashi, "That, Mr. Great Kenhao, can you please take your hands off the weapon, to be honest, I'm a very insecure woman." ”
"Don't worry, you won't die until you make it clear. Honglian turned to look at her partner and patted the table gently, "Lan, trust me." ”
"Yes. Arashi, who nodded, put down his left hand and remained silent.
"Then what do you mean, cooperating with you can save the life of the eldest sister? The frowning red lotus looked at the other party with a serious face, "And I believe that the eldest sister is the key." ”
"This is the record stone from our old gatherings, and there is a stupid sister who always likes to do superfluous things. She took a purple ore from her bosom and placed it on the table, from which a simple image was projected.
In the spacious room of the hall, bright light shines down from the diagonal top, and eight young girls from left to right, they are gathered around a round table, or they are sitting and drinking tea, or playing with each other, and the happiness that fills them is conveyed through the preserved images.
Then Lan and Honglian noticed that there was a girl in the picture, dressed in a simple black robe, standing quietly a little farther away, looking at the seven companions in front of her with a light smile. And the girl has the same appearance as Emilia.
"Her name is Shatila, and like Emilia, she is also a half-elf, born in the same place, and her personality is somewhat timid, shy, and cowardly......" Aegie Dona, who spoke in an inexplicable tone, paused and said, "Do you need more evidence from me?"
"Okay. Honglian nodded, deciding not to dwell on the authenticity of this issue, "Then what can you do to change the fate of the eldest sister?"
"Before answering this question, please eat it first, and you will understand. Placing a crystal with a clear light next to the recording stone, Agidona's tone was full of faint reluctance.
"Are you sure?!" Honglian licked her tongue, a little unable to control her appetite, "This volume of 'forbidden fruit', eat it, and Lan and I can leave this world." ”
"That's your freedom. Agidonna shrugged her shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "After all, there is no need for you strangers to come and bury our world. ”
"Red Lotus. The witch was surprisingly good at talking, which made Arashi a little more attentive, and he called his partner's name.
"Rest assured, rest assured. The big grinning Red Lotus made a reassuring gesture towards Lan, "If this kind of thing comes a hundred times more, it won't affect me anything." Have you forgotten? When I was up there, I ate them for a living. ”
"Don't worry, I'm the one who proposed the cooperation, and the sincerity that should be there will still be shown. Akidona, who was playing with the ends of her hair, also comforted Arashi, "Even if I am called a witch, I am actually a lovely person." ”
"Then you're welcome. Red Lotus unceremoniously picked up the crystal with her front paws and swallowed it with her mouth wide open.
"How is it?" Lan asked Honglian with concern as she frowned.
"I feel warm all over my body, and I want to sleep comfortably. The red lotus, who suddenly became angry, had not finished speaking, but visions began to appear on her body. Little by little, granular golden dots of light floated out of its black hair, and then faded away.
"My energy. The wailing red lotus jumped up from the table with grief and indignation, and threw herself into the point of light in the air. But the folded palms could not stop them from dispersing.
After repeating the action in vain, the red lotus, who gave up the struggle, had to look at Eki Dona and said in a tone full of annoyance, "What the hell is going on? Are you fooling me again?"
"Don't you feel it? The connection with the consciousness of the world has been re-established. In a tone full of excitement and joy, Aegdonna spread out her right hand, and the projection of the continent appeared in the palm of her hand again.
At the four neatly cut edges, the liquid, which should have been running non-stop and falling, came to a halt for the first time.
