"So that's it?" Lie looked at the notebook in his hand and let out a sigh.

Hawkers,The book is really used to write.,Although it's obtained from the hands of Seven.,But don't think about it.。

"Seven, say goodbye to your friends." Lie said to Qi... At this time, Qi has returned to normal.

…

Things seem to be moving a little fast, but that's it... Lie, Yamato, and Bismarck went all the way up, encountering several attacks in between. Perhaps, these attacks are a desperate game for ordinary humans, but for warriors who can reach the castle, it is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

Without the slightest difficulty, Lie and his party chased to the attic of the castle... Continue up to the top platform of the castle where Aina is.

And 'Qi' didn't run again this time, and sat quietly in the chair... Speaking of which, with so many rooms running, only this attic seems like a place to live.

And there are also some traces of habitation... Lie walked in front of 'Qi', she looked at Lie calmly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"You're finally here, and I can too... Went back. 'Qi' said this, and then closed his eyes with a relieved expression. When I opened it again, the abnormal blue light faded and turned back into Qi.

Tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and Qi could see and hear the scene just now. It's just that for some reason, Qi handed over the control of his body to a mysterious being.

Let's just call it... Seven's "pen pal".

What kind of existence she is, Qi doesn't know much, because once asked, she will keep silent. No, it's not writing...

Lie was holding a notebook in his hand at this time, which was exactly what Qi used to communicate with a mysterious being... Although Qi didn't know what kind of existence that mysterious being was, what she had done before was very clear... Like some kind of ritual, she had to fulfill her mission.

Stopping the arriving warriors, and then being defeated, this is the script she arranged for herself. In order to be able to do all this, she borrowed Qi's body, and Qi agreed.

"Admiral." Seven came to the Admiral... Although he was very sad about the departure of his pen pal, he was very excited to see the Admiral again.

Even if Yamato and Bismarck were present, Qi still jumped on the Admiral without any scruples, hugged the Admiral tightly, and said in the Admiral's ear: "Admiral~, Qi is waiting for you so hard~." ”

Lie patted her on the back, and according to her, she was taken to this attic in a trance when the great change occurred.

At first, she was very scared, because all communication with the outside world was cut off, even on the soul network.

It's just that Qi found the paper and pen on the table, and then began to communicate between pen pals... It can be considered that Seven's "pen pal" is the owner of this place and has been waiting.

"There are still many things, Qi will tell you slowly in the future." Qi stepped aside, looked at the anxious Yamato and Bismarck, and opened the door to the top.

"Originally, this place couldn't be opened, but now..."

It was a small platform, with a large piece of ice in the middle, and Aina was frozen inside the ice.

Lie walked to the front and looked around before he started to move... Well, unlike what you see on the periphery of the iceberg, you can't see them here except for the snowstorm and the looming ice and snow ladder.

Then I looked at Aina, and it was as if she was asleep, except that her eyes were closed. Ryu took out the artifact fragment and wanted to rescue Aina in the same way that he had rescued Yamato and Bismarck.

Unfortunately, although the artifact fragments glowed, they could not save Aina.

Lie frowned, and when he got closer, the artifact fragments emitted light and enveloped Lie... Immediately afterward, Lie's consciousness blurred.

…

A special space that looks like a normal house.

"Are you awake?"

When Lie opened his eyes, he saw Aina pouring tea, and at this time she was dressed at home and looked very gentle and virtuous. After pouring the tea and blowing it a few more times, it was brought to Lie's side.

"Drink it, it'll feel a lot better."

Lie took the tea, and the memory came back to his mind, remembering his previous experience... It took a lot of hard work to reach the top of the iceberg castle and find Aina.

So, I'm now... In Aina's dreams?

Thinking of this, Ryu looked at Aina and the surroundings... Sure enough, this is not any place that he is familiar with, and Aina in front of him seems to have lived here for a long time.

"Yamato and Bismarck are gone, I didn't expect Lie to faint in a hurry." Aina said softly, tidying up the table.

Jeol put down the cup, got up from the bed, and was about to say something, but met Aina's gaze... That's a kind of eye that sees everything.

"Sure enough, everything that happened before was not accidental..."Aina walked over, leaned over, and whispered in Lie's ear, "So, remember what happened here?" ”

“…”

Lie thought about it carefully, he had never been here, how could he have a memory of this? It's just that the more I look around, the more familiar I feel, as if I really lived here.

"I see." Without waiting for Lie to speak, Aina seemed to know Lie's current state, and then said to Lie, "That's good, this is good..."

"So, shall we go?" Aina held out her hand to Yeol and asked.

“？？” Lie is a little confused, he should have come to save Aina, right? How do you make yourself look like the guy who fell into a dream?

Lie's hand was placed on Aina's hand, and Aina glanced affectionately at the surroundings, as if she wanted to imprint everything in her eyes. For her, she has indeed lived here for a long time... With Lie, Yamato, Bismarck... And the other guys together.

It's just that all this is a dream after all, and Aina can't remember when she found out, so she can't come out on her own. At first Yamato disappeared, then Bismarck, and then Lie fainted.

When Lie woke up, Aina could tell from his eyes that it was time to leave.

That's fine, as for the story that happened here, let's talk about it if we have a chance.

…

At the top of the iceberg castle, Yamato, Bismarck, and Qi looked at the scene in front of them in surprise... In a burst of light, Lie's body gradually melted into the ice cube and reached Aina's side.

It didn't take long for the ice to start cracking, and then shattering, revealing two figures inside. With a bang, Aina and Lie came out of the shattered ice.

"Admiral!" Yamato and Bismarck took a step forward excitedly, but before they could express the joy of reunion, the whole iceberg began to shake.

It's like something strange at the beginning, and after a few breaths, the iceberg disappears... And Lie and his entourage are on the edge of this sea area, surrounded by Nagato, Lion, and Xi with a confused face.

"This, so rescued?" They looked at each other... It turns out that Lie can't feel the passage of time inside, and time really hasn't passed long... Lie walked tens of thousands of stairs inside, but it seemed like it had only been twenty minutes outside?

In short, it took less than half an hour from Lie jumping into the sea to coming out. In fact, they were just surprised to find that Lie-sama appeared next to Aina-sama, and before they had time to cheer, Lie-sama and Aina-sama came out together!

"Nagato, can you still contact Anwar and them?" Aina asked, and she began to ask about the current situation.

Lie stood aside and stretched out to the beach... Well, fortunately, there are special shoes to carry for walking on the sea, otherwise there will be no place to stand after the iceberg disappears.

Xi had fallen into Bismarck's arms, her little face was full of tears, but there was a deep affection between them. Aina was asking about the current situation, and when she saw Aina, Rye felt a lot more relaxed... Finally, we can share it together.

Taking advantage of this time, Lie Jiangqi called over and asked her about the "Qi's 'pen pal'".

Hawkers, Qi doesn't know much, the scope of their conversation is all-encompassing in astronomy and geography, but there is very little mention of each other's origins.

What Qi knows, it's the 'pen pal' who let Qi know, such as the origin of the iceberg. Combined with the information that Lie already knew, as well as the information obtained in the process of climbing the iceberg, the following information was sorted out.

Hawkers, this really has something to do with Lie, the initiator is the emperor!

To be more precise, the incomplete artifact scepter in the emperor's hand... It seems that because it was incomplete, and the emperor had not yet obtained the last fragment, but he had activated most of the power of the artifact in advance.

In order to control the artifact, the emperor made all kinds of efforts, but unfortunately it still got out of control in the end. In a sense, Aina was hit by the pond fish... Maybe it's destined in the dark?

The artifact leaked some of its power, creating this strange "iceberg" that trapped Aina for many years. However, thanks to this news, Lie knew why there was no news of that emperor after the establishment of the Deep Sea Empire.

That emperor, because the artifact scepter was out of control, was in a special state, and he had no energy left to care about other things. Because of this, after the establishment of the Deep Sea Empire, no emperor was seen in public again.

Of course, this is good news for Lie, if that's the case, maybe you can do it now!

"Lie." Aina also finished talking there, and learned about the current situation in the shortest possible time.

"Without further ado, let's go, and we'll talk about the detailed plan on the way!"

"Hmm!" Lie looked at Aina, and sure enough, once Sister Ai came back, everything was much easier.

…

Beizhou City.

"Haven't Richelieu and his party come back yet?" Aisha asked her subordinates, according to the time, she should have been back yesterday.

"My lord, a new situation has arisen." The subordinate responded: "I have received the latest information, Richelieu and his party will not come back until they have a concert in the sea area of Beizhou City when they are approaching the sea area of Beizhou City." ”

"Oh?" Aisha was surprised, how did this happen?

…

In the waters of the Sacred Forest, in a hidden room.

"Is there something that called us here?"

"It's not Yu Hang's kid yet!" Modo is a headache, if he had known that it was so troublesome, he should have been more decisive in the first place! It's a pity that it's too late to say such things now.

"Yu Hang?" Obviously, several admirals around were well aware of the guy and fell silent.

"Losses... How many are there? ”

"Mature No. 2 is gone." Modo looked up to the sky and sighed... Because of the Deep Sea Empire, the mysterious organization he belongs to has also suffered a major blow.

However, they were not so unlucky, only the branches and leaves and unimportant parts were removed, and the backbone did not suffer. In order to better conceal themselves, sleeper personnel such as Modo have found an opportunity to return to headquarters... Although the backbone was not injured, there was a shortage of personnel.

After years of painstaking development, using the religion of the Sacred Forest as a cover and the test object as bait, this mysterious organization has grown again.

At the same time, the attitude of this mysterious organization towards the deep sea is not confrontation, but an attempt to cooperate, and there have been signs of being able to do so recently.

It's a pity that Yu Hang noticed this incident and stopped it. If this mysterious organization were allowed to join the deep sea, it would be a terrifying thing for them who belonged to the deep sea resistance.

As a result, Yu Hang contacted Lord Anwar and other admirals, as well as many backbone forces of the deep-sea resistance organization. The long preparation has dealt a heavy blow to this mysterious organization, and they have to retreat to the headquarters of the Holy Forest.

"Regarding Yuhang, we will avoid the edge for the time being, and when the turmoil passes, we will find opportunities to fight back one by one... Also, what exactly is going on with 'Subject 9'? ”

"If memory serves, it was filed with the accidental disappearance of Subject Nine..."

"Yes, I did lose track of Subject Nine... But now her traces have been found... Her name outside of the subject is... Poetry Rain..."

"We have begun to re-contact, and according to the other party's reaction, there is a possibility of regaining control..."

"Start acting immediately, be sure to lure 'Subject Nine' to the Sacred Forest, maybe you can offset some of the previous losses..."

"By the way, I received the news that when the touring group returns, they will be passing by our sacred grove and will have a concert..."

“… We don't have time to pay attention to any concerts now, the focus is to avoid Yu Hang's blow to us and reduce our losses... Intensify plans to lure Subject Ninth back..."

…

On board an artificial ship sailing in the waters of the Sacred Grove on the sea.

"Thank you, Sister Blazing." Shiyu stood by the railing, and on the other side, stood the blazing flame.

"Now that you're under my command, you naturally can't watch you being bullied by others... That guy will go over too, right? Blazing eyes flickered with some light and asked.

"Lord Lie?" Shiyu shook his head and said, "Lord Lie already knows about this matter and tells Lord Shiyu that Lord Lie will deal with it, but what Lord Lie wants to deal with, Shiyu doesn't know." ”

"What else can I do?" Blazing looked into the distance, and said lightly: "Only when everything is cleaned up can it be considered complete!" ”

Monroe was also on the artificial ship, praying in the room for her friends and Lord Lie... Seemingly, something is going to happen.
