Act Forty-Six: A Visit to Ain
At this time, Ain's hair was still a little messy, with dark circles under her eyes, but she was neatly dressed, not an ordinary army uniform, but a loose shirt and a long skirt, she looked at Lawson, and in a blink of an eye, her eyes fell on Tia again.
"This is my sister Tia. ”
Before Ain's face turned cloudy, Lawson preemptively introduced.
"I see, it's Mr. Rosen's sister. ”
Ain immediately smiled again, and for some reason, Lawson suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more terrifying in her smile than the monster she had encountered last night.
"There was some mess in the room...... Please don't care. ”
With that, Ain opened the door completely and invited the two of them into the room.
Although it was a temporary residence, the room was still tainted with the smell of Ain, the walls were hung with swords and armor, and most of the parchment on the table was written on war history or swordsmanship, and there was nothing at all that a girl should look like.
"Sit down, I'll pour tea. ”
Beckoning the two to sit down, Al Yin ran to the cupboard and picked up the teapot and tea leaves that were already in the room.
The tea of this era is still the most primitive new tea, at most it is dried and stored, and there is no fermented tea like black tea, so the taste is quite light and primitive, but it is quite popular with the upper class.
It didn't take long for the room to fill the room with the fresh aroma of tea.
"Please use it. ”
Ain seemed to be not only a student of Greyios, but also his nanny, making tea as good as a professional maid, and she also grinded tea leaves into powder and added a few spoonfuls of milk to give this cup of tea an unusual flavor.
"Good tea. ”
Rosen exclaimed, he saw that Ain also picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, his posture seemed to be a little stiff, and he didn't know why.
"It's good, it's a special one. ”
In this era, Tia didn't say the second half of the sentence, she put down her teacup and looked the disciple of the Cangzhi Sword Saint up and down.
"It is said that His Excellency Greyius has been walking the world for many years, but he has only taken in one disciple, and now it seems that Miss Ayn is indeed different. ”
She asked, although Ain was attacked at the same time as Rosen last night, it could not be ruled out that it was a monster directed and acted by herself, so Tia had to confirm the authenticity of Ain herself first.
The simple way Tia and Rosen discussed last night was to ask about the past of these people.
You know,This illusion is just a time and space.,And the monster can only exist in this time and space.,Compared to those who have past memories,The person in the monster disguise should only be able to obtain the person's "now" state.,That is, personality, behavior, habits, and even abilities.,Memories beyond this time and space.,It's nothing.。
Of course, these are all based on an argument, and Rosen decided not to discuss the opposite side of this argument for the time being.
Faced with Tia's somewhat impolite question, Ain didn't pay much attention to it, just regarded it as an inquiry from her sister, who was worried about her brother, she smiled and continued.
"I'm just lucky, I was rescued by the teacher when my hometown was destroyed by the chaos monsters, and I've been following the teacher since then. ”
"But there are so many people who want to become a member of the Cangzhi Sword Saint, and there are almost no who can become his disciples, you are indeed the luckiest one. ”
Tia said, with a maturity that didn't fit her age.
"Perhaps, does he feel guilty about you?"
Hearing Tia's words, Rosen immediately put down the cup in his hand and motioned for Tia not to continue.
What she mentioned in her mouth was actually the research of later generations on this period of history.
Why did Greysius save Al Yin alone, and why was he willing to keep this girl by his side as a student, did he really see Iron's swordsmanship talent in advance?
It is true that Ain, as the original Grey Knight, created a sanctuary swordsmanship that can be said to be unparalleled in the world, but her own swordsmanship attainments are far inferior to Graysius, if Graysius is a veritable sword saint and the pinnacle of swordsmanship, then Ain is only one or two levels above mortals, far from reaching the top.
In fact, in the same era, when it came to swordsmanship, whether it was within the human race or in the entire order civilization, there were more than one person who was more talented than Ain, and they did not all of them learn from Graysius, but Graysius still only taught Ain alone.
Why is that?
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
Some people think that Graysius has anything to do with the family behind Elles, while others believe that Greyius and Al in are actually not just masters and apprentices, and some even think that Elles is actually Greyus' illegitimate daughter.
And the answer that has been most affirmed by the academic community is that the reason why Ain's hometown was attacked by Chaos Monsters was actually a strategic decision by Graysius.
As a sage, the existence of the overall leader, he is bound to give up some people and save more people, and Ain's hometown is the outcast and even the bait of that battle.
Out of guilt for Ain, Greysius, who accidentally saved the girl, chose to take her as a student and teach her swordsmanship to make up for his mistakes.
In other words, the reason why Al Yin had such a tragic experience was entirely because of Greysius.
That's what Tia was referring to.
Rosen didn't know if Ain knew about it, but he still didn't like the scar removal, and Rosen had other ways to prove Ain's identity.
"I can't guess what the teacher thinks, but no matter what, he is my savior and the existence I longed for. ”
Aine said she may know some of the secrets about her rescue, but she chooses to believe it.
"Let's not mention that. ”
Rosen changed the subject.
"We are here because Her Excellency Avinia Kainz has asked us to take you to her for a visit. ”
"Your Excellency Kainz?"
Aine tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, but soon, she figured out what was going on.
"Is it about that monster?"
"That's right, I believe that Your Excellency, who has the ability to preserve, will be able to help us find that monster. ”
Lawson nodded.
"And at night, we'll gather a few Sages and the people around them, because I think that monster might be hiding among us. ”
"Well, this ......"
Aine was a little unacceptable that those who fought alongside her would be terrifying monsters in disguise, but she nodded when she thought of the silent monster she saw with her own eyes last night.
"I see, let's go to His Excellency Kainz first. ”
