Chapter 17: Little Tail
"Is it really good to be so wary?"
Suddenly, a distinctive female voice sounded behind the red-haired girl, Lilith shuddered at the sound of fright, she reached forward with her hands and tried to grab the table and pull herself up, but forgot to remove her legs from the edge of the table first, although her body was very flexible so that she would not sprain...... But the table she was holding on to at the moment was not nailed to the ground, and it could not withstand the girl's vigorous pull, and the two legs on the other side of the table quickly left the ground, and with its supporting surface, a thick plank, smashed into Lilith's face.
"Bang!"
"Uh-huh!" The feeling of being hit head-on on the bridge of her nose was so ecstatic that Lilith could only let out a small whimper in pain, and then tragically fell to the ground by the overturned table.
"......" Li Bai's right hand at this time was holding in mid-air with the back of her hand facing up, and a sharp long sword with a golden grip and sword lattice was transforming from a phantom to an entity under her control, she looked at the red-haired girl who was fighting to the death with the table speechlessly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twist a little.
Seeing that the development of events exceeded his expectations countless times, Li Bai felt the need to do something to strengthen his determination to torture.
"Hurry up." She tapped the tip of her sword on the bottom of the table, "Don't think that pretending to be crazy and stupid will make me let you go." ”
The girl who was pressed under the table stopped for less than 1 second when she heard this, and then began to struggle more violently, the table was a solid wood structure, very heavy, Lilith couldn't break free from under it for a while because of anxiety, the magic made her weak strength make her only hold up the table for a moment at a time, this time was obviously not enough for her to break free immediately.
(…… This idiot is the same person as the elite duelist I just saw? )
Li Bai finally got impatient after waiting for a while, and with a flick of the sword in his backhand, the blade of the sword cut through the thick table from the middle like cutting butter, turning it in half.
“…… Who are you. Losing the load of the heavy load, Lilith quickly got up from the ground and took nearly a dozen steps back, gasping gently to recuperate her body while squinting her eyes to see what kind of person this uninvited guest who had played on her was really like.
At this glance, she could no longer look away.
It was a woman with white hair and red eyes, dressed in inferior iron armor and carrying a gorgeous long sword in her hand, who was also looking at her.
Lilith is no ordinary person, and it is not surprising that she can clearly perceive something deeper through the appearance of the other party after the magic in her eyes.
But she never imagined that at the first moment of doing so, her consciousness would lose control and completely become a pawn in the opponent's hand.
A card's ability to manifest can be used for more than just equipping magic.
Looking at the girl in front of her, who was already completely stunned, a trace of unbearability flashed in Li Bai's red pupils, but this affection was quickly suppressed by her, and she walked quickly to Lilith and began to ask questions.
"What's your real name?"
"Lilith Westphalia." The red-haired girl looked like she had completely lost herself and honestly said her name.
"Where are you from?" After a pause, Li Bai added: "If there is, who sent you." ”
"The Seventh Sacred Realm, Myrazon." Lilith said dumbfoundedly, "It was the Council of Offa that sent me to this world. ”
The Seventh Sacred Realm!? Is this guy actually from the Holy Realm like Nit? Li Bai's eyes widened, this answer was something she hadn't expected...... She had guessed the origin of the other party, from the aborigines of the butterfly effect to the same time-travelers as herself, but there was no visitor from another dimension.
"Your purpose...... No, what is the purpose for whom they have sent you into this world. Knowing the identity of the other party, Li Bai became more curious about Lilith's purpose.
The academy force of the seventh holy realm, Mailasong, and the demon capital force of the sixth holy realm, are hostile to each other, after learning about the so-called seventh holy realm, Li Bai naturally linked it with the neighboring sixth holy realm Endymion, the academy and the demon capital were originally not right in her memory, if she remembered correctly...... "The Divine Judgment of the Magic Guide Book" was developed to fight against Endymion. In her opinion, this kind of mourning organization that can give the name of its family to the top of the realm should not be interested in anything in this world...... Has their war with Endymion been decided?
"The purpose is ...... Is it ......" When asked about her core mission, the red-haired girl's originally straight face began to show a struggling expression, her teeth bared, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Looking for ...... Prophecy...... Break the Mirror ...... Dusk and Iron Hoof...... Stop the illusion...... Sacrifice...... Chaos ......"
"That's it! That's enough! Li Bai quickly interrupted Lilith's staccato speech, not that she didn't want to know more, but that she was afraid that the other party would die directly if this continued--with each syllable, a large amount of blood would gush out of Lilith's lips, eye sockets, nostrils, and ear piercings, and this horrific sight frightened her at first, otherwise she would definitely have stopped the other party earlier.
(What the hell is going on...... This is clearly sealed, and it is the kind that is connected to life...... What is her mission, to use this method to prevent leaks! )
Without Li Bai's instructions, Lilith still maintained a straight standing posture, but her eyelids were already half-drooping, and blood slid down her neck and chin, wetting the white coat, and the red of blood was particularly dazzling against the white background, and Li Bai frowned.
With this look, I'm afraid that if I continue to ask, I am afraid that it will really kill her, and it seems that her doubts this time will not be completely answered.
Let's end it.
"Whew!" As soon as the thought came to mind, Li Bai bent down violently, reached out to cover her mouth, and then she was quick with her eyes, and used her other left hand to catch the red-haired girl who was straight towards her.
Lilith had already fainted, that kind of overdraft and blood loss was obviously too heavy for a child like her, and without Li Bai's control, her body spontaneously turned on the protection mechanism and fell into a deep coma.
"Anyway, I finally know her identity." Looking at the same red liquid in the palm of his right hand, Li Bai exhaled a little weakly, "It's not for nothing, is it...... Should. ”
"Brainwashing ......"
When Lilith woke up again, she found herself lying on a soft cot.
As far as the eye could see, it was a somewhat cramped room, without a window, and she tried to sit up, but she was stimulated by the pain coming from all over her body, and gasped violently, and she was so busy trying to grab something, but she accidentally touched a doll at the head of the bed...... It was a flannel doll made of zuò that resembled the Light Path Hound Lei Guang, and it fell on the floor without carpet with a dull sound.
The red-haired girl blinked, quickly fell back into bed and closed her eyes; After a while, the door opened, and Li Bai walked in with a bowl of soup, she looked down at the doll on the ground, and the corners of her mouth curved.
"If you don't want to drink it, I'll just take it and pour it out."
“…… Who are you. The girl, who knew that her disguise had been recognized, opened her eyes again, but this time she didn't try to sit up again, "The trauma in my body must have been triggered by the oath, which shows that you used similar mental manipulation methods on me after I lost consciousness. ”
"Oh." Li Bai put the soup on the bedside table, bent down and picked up the doll, half held it in the air, and stared at it quietly, "So." ”
"So do you think I'll still believe you and drink this bowl of soup you gave me again!" Lilith stared viciously at the culprit who was now extremely weak, and wanted to kill her with her eyes, "You already know who I am and where I come from, right?" Why don't you just kill me! ”
"If I had faked, you would have been killed by your so-called oath." Glancing at the girl with contempt, Li Bai stuffed the doll next to her pillow and put it away, "I admit that I have caused you a certain amount of damage in order to be able to get what I want to know quickly and directly, and I will not apologize for this......"
"You bastard!" Lilith was even angrier, the anger in her blue eyes was overflowing, and she even tried to sit up again, but failed.
"But I didn't mean to be your enemy." Li Bai held down the hand she was going to take the doll next to the pillow, "Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just here to tell you about it, don't think too much about yourself!" Let go! ”
"Ahh was pinched hard by Li Bai's wrist, and Lilith was forced to let go of the flannel doll, and instead hugged her little paws and cried out in pain.
"Thanks to this little guy I was cured of my insomnia...... Do you think I'm going to let you use it as a weapon to hit me? Facing the angry and aggrieved eyes, Li Bai was unmoved, "I am here to formally warn you and listen to me: first, as long as you don't interfere with what I plan to do, I won't worry about what your mission is; Second, it's true that saving you and letting you sleep is out of compensation, but you have to get out of me if you recuperate! Don't think Myrazon is powerful...... The Magic Guide Academy without a divine judgment is not qualified to threaten me! Third...... And most importantly, I don't care to lie to you like a little brat! ”
After saying it in one breath, she picked up the bowl of soup, took a sip, picked up the thunder doll and turned to leave.
"......" walked to the door, and she folded back and stuffed the doll back into its original position.
"If you dare to break it, I'll kill you!" Sending a vicious look to Lilith who was lying on the bed, Li Bai slammed the bedroom door slammed on.
(What an uncultured woman!) Lilith grabbed the doll and tried to slam it against the door, only to blush at a grunt in her lower abdomen.
If you think about it, it seems that what the woman said is right...... The fact that she is still alive is the most powerful proof that the other party did not get the exact mission information from her, at least not completely, and it is obviously unreliable to speculate on that prophecy.
Thinking like this, Lilith felt that it would be in vain for her to be so angry, so she simply hugged the little white dog and reached for the soup bowl on the bedside table.
At a little after ten o'clock in the evening, Li Bai pushed open the bedroom door again, the soup bowl was already empty, and Lilith was holding her flannel doll and sleeping soundly.
How does it feel like having a pet...... Li Bai rubbed his temples, he had a headache and how to deal with this little trouble next, the people from the northern branch will leave tomorrow, this child's injuries will obviously not recover for a month, how can she explain to the other party that her student union suddenly disappeared on the core campus, once this kind of thing is troubled, even if she has the protection of Shark Island, it is useless, she will not be directly exposed.
"What a hassle...... I would have changed that question to something else! With a look of abandonment, he stepped forward to tuck the quilt for the girl, Li Bai walked to the wardrobe of the bed again, and took out another quilt from it, since the bed in her bedroom was occupied, she had to change to another place to sleep.
Mr. Burgess, the principal of the northern branch, was not anxious at all, he himself took Lilith's disappearance as the other party's decision to leave him, so he was not worried about the safety of the other party at all, and the banquet in the evening dragged the principal of Shark Island to get drunk before returning to the room to rest, but Li Bai didn't know anything about this now.
Li Bai got up early the next morning, and after putting on her cloak, she left someone who was still asleep and went to find Shark Island.
"What? They're gone? She was shocked to learn that everyone in the Northern Branch had just left half an hour ago, "Don't they care about that top student?" I mean the girl named Lilith Westphalia? Both talent and decks should be precious! ”
"I don't know." Shark Island spread his hands, looking dazed, "I didn't pay much attention, I thought that the girl had been sent to the boat by them in advance, and Burgess didn't mention her when he left." ”
“…… Wait a minute. Li Bai was immediately not calm, "Please tell me all his expressions from yesterday to now." It seems that she is afraid that Shark Island will not understand the severity of the matter, and she is solemn
added: "This is important! ”
…… When she returned home again, Li Bai was a little confused, she couldn't understand why the other party could leave such a genius seedling here and run away by herself so chicly?
"Are you curious why the people from the Northern Branch didn't take me away, and didn't even mention my deposit." Lilith leaned back on the bed, creaking and nibbling on an apple.
She looked at Li Bai, who was sitting on the edge of the bed absentmindedly fiddling with the doll, and her heart was dark for a while-you also have a time when you are entangled!
"An apple that big can't stop you." Li Bai didn't bother to pay attention to her, and angrily rushed at her.
"I'll tell you the truth...... The fact is that my entry into the North Campus was conditional, and my treaty with Burgess was officially terminated after bringing me to this island, and I was already a free person at that time, and he probably thought I was going to stay on the core campus, so he didn't ask again, anyway, what you were worried about should not happen anytime soon - those reporters must have thought that I followed the ship back to the north, and the north thought that I stayed in the core campus. ”
"Doesn't that mean it doesn't matter what I do with you?" Li Bai raised his eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be fierce, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now." ”
"Don't be afraid." Lilith nibbled on the apple again, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, although I lost consciousness, but my previous observation of you was not invalidated, you are not a pure-blood human like me, this alone is enough to believe you...... And I can feel that there is a very, very strong force in your body, although it is a little unpleasant, but what you said is right, even if you count the three holy realms I know, there are not many people who can win against you, and if you really want to kill me, I can't resist. ”
After a good night's sleep, she has already figured it out, anyway, the other party is quite good to herself for the time being, at least she is willing to let go of her bed to sleep in, and she is also willing to let her beloved doll hold her...... Plus the secret hasn't been revealed, so what else can she be dissatisfied with.
And according to the information she has learned in the past six months since she came to this world, the identity of this white-haired woman seems to be very simple.
The identity of the Duel King is not too valuable in her eyes, and she is more concerned about whether the ability to manifest cards is the person referred to in the prophecy...... She needs a longer period of observation to be sure.
"You say I'm not a pureblood?" Li Bai was annoyed by her, "What is it about me that I don't look like a human anymore?" And...... What does it mean to be the same as you? ”
"Eyes." Lilith said, "I've carefully observed that your eyes are essentially vertical pupils, which should be mixed with the elements of the beast race, and I am indeed not a pure-blooded human. ”
"For the people of the All-Holy Realm, the magic envoy is not just a profession - it is an inherent race like the beast race, the sea dragon race, and the bird and beast race, after completing the race transformation, part of my body structure is different from that of pure-blooded humans, for example, I can live for at least a week without eating or drinking, and only by absorbing the arcane elements in the air, pure-blood people obviously can't do this, many secret arts can only be controlled by magicians, and race is a very important concept."
"Yes." Li Bai's eyes dimmed slightly, she remembered the process of recovering from the broken arm, so she really can't be regarded as a pure-blooded human anymore, but Lilith couldn't guess correctly, what is hidden in her blood and bone marrow is not the beast gene, but the dragon.
"Then why did you explain this to me in such detail?" She almost understood the reason for the change in the other party's attitude, and she might also be regarded as a person from the Holy Realm, "I'm so harmful that you can't even walk now, just by virtue of this reason, are you actually going to believe me?" ”
"Of course, it's for you not to let me go after the injury is healed." Lilith pursed her lips, trying to make herself look pitiful, she had just turned 16 years old, her figure was just beginning to develop, ignoring her height and just looking at her face, she looked like a Lori, "I don't have a place to live until I complete the task!" ”
“…… I can't say yes. Li Bai made no secret of her indifference, as if she hadn't seen the other party's pitiful appearance at all, "Because I don't believe you." ”
"I'm not going to ask you to believe it right away." Lilith calmly met her sharp gaze, the other party would not hesitate to say such a thing, it is likely that she has been betrayed before, and she happens to know what kind of posture is most effective against such a person.
"I'll prove it." She looked directly at Li Bai, her eyes unblinking, "I'm useful to you." ”
