Chapter 7: The Teasing of Death
"Finished eating?" When the servants had gone out, Nabal stood up and spoke coldly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Asa and Minia were immediately shaken, and both looked up in cringe like frightened rabbits.
I sighed helplessly.
Asa's just that, but Minia, you're the seventh number priest in the church! Why is it also so trembling? Still haunted until now?!
You see, can't you brace yourself even when little Luca frowns at you?
Of course, in fact, people are not much better!
The moment Nabal spoke, I sat up straight and shivered.
It's still the same sentence, although he said it to me kindly, but after all, he is the "Grim Reaper"! The strength that is so strong that it is terrifying, and the fierce eyes that come out of the murderous aura at every turn, coupled with the moodiness, the expression that makes people never guess their thoughts, it is estimated that only the simple-minded black cat Maoling will not be afraid, right? Even if it's its owner, the successor of the Heavenly Spear
Hey? To my surprise, little Luca was still lying in her chair as if she was eating, and when Nabal passed by her, little Luca curiously reached out and touched the bloody sword at Nabal's waist.
This little thing is so bold!
"Interested?!" Nabal habitually grasped the hilt of his sword, then glanced down at her.
"Elise seems to know it," the little one nodded.
"Elise?!" There was a hint of doubt in his sharp eyes.
"Sky Lance Elista! Little Luca is said to be the successor of the Heavenly Spear. I nervously stepped forward and pressed little Luca's hand to touch the blood sword, explaining to Nabal.
"Oh......" Nabal smiled. He simply untied the blood sword from his waist and handed it to little Luca, "There's nothing strange about it, this is the magic sword * Mister." Like your spear, it's an artifact. β
So kind?! How can it be?!
The three of us who looked at him were so surprised that our eyes were about to fall out.
And is it a delusion?
The moment Nabal unleashed the magic sword, it seemed that the whole person became less terrifying.
"Asa," Nabal grimaced again.
"Huh? At! Asa replied in a panic.
"Useless waste!" It seems that Nabar was not satisfied with Asa's reaction, "Will the isolation enchantment be?" β
"Huh? Yes! "Asa is very sluggish right now.
"Isn't that a hurry?!" Nabal roared.
"Yes! Be! Please sit in your chairs, ah! Keep your feet up! Half-panicked, Asa half-knelt on the floor and pressed his right hand to the ground. Begin to chant, "O great water spirit, listen to my love"
This was followed by an inexplicable grunt.
Isolate enchantments with ice magic? It's about the same as he made a fine statue, right? It's a mess of inventions again.
Echoing his chanting. Tiny and beautiful blue ice flowers quickly sprouted from his right hand, centering on him and sticking to the floor, spreading rapidly in all directions. Then stick it on the wall. Climbing up to the ceiling again, we were all wrapped in these gradually thickening sky-blue ice flowers in the dining room.
"That's it? Is this an isolation enchantment?! When Asa had finished chanting, Nabal asked suspiciously.
"Ahh Wait a minute! Asa rested slightly, then pressed his hand to the ground again and began to chant.
Same spell as just now.
As a result, a slightly smaller ice barrier was formed inside the ice-made barrier, and we were wrapped in two layers of sky-blue igloos.
"It's done!" Asa sighed. Tiredly stood up
"Disgusting brother, this is your isolation barrier?!" Little Luca looked curiously at the crystal clear ice walls around her, "It's so beautiful! Luca, I've never seen it before! β
"Hey, hey!" Asa wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and began to show off proudly. "This is my invention too! Ice isolation enchantment completed with double ice walls! Make sure you can't hear any sound outside! β
"Yes, that's true, but," I asked, given that many of Asa's new inventions have boring perverted uses and inexplicable non-negative consequences, "what is your purpose in inventing this isolation barrier?" β
"Do you still need to ask?!" The naΓ―ve little Luca replied for Asa, "What else can you do in the disgusting brother's soundproof room?!" It must be playing that 'you scream!' Bark! No matter how much you scream, no one will hear 'the perverted game! β
Yes, that makes sense.
"Not this time...... Asa just scratched his head helplessly, "the purpose of this spell is forgotten," he hesitated, and finally gave up, "whatever you want." β
"......" is strange, Asa, who has always been upright and has never concealed himself, would say such a thing? Could it be that this isolation room really has some special purpose? And the kind that we're embarrassed to tell us?
"Are you done talking?!" Nabal snorted impatiently, interrupting my doubts, "Sakura, let's talk about it now, what are you doing here?!" β
"Why did you tell you?! What are you doing here again?! Proud of his magic, Asa asked without hesitation.
"Sakura, is it related to Thresten?!" Ignoring Asa's rhetorical question, Nabal looked directly at me.
"Yes!" I nodded, still hesitant to tell him what had happened.
After all, it was a commission from the Guardian of the World, so how could he say it so hastily?
"Oh!" Nabal's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there anything unusual about Northridge lately?" β
"Huh?" The unexpected but straight to the point question made me stunned.
"It seems so," Nabal easily saw what I was trying to hide, "and let's get it straight! I have the same purpose as you! β
"What?!" We were all amazed together.
"What do you think I'm doing at the Academy of Magic? I was going to ask Rofal if anything unusual has happened to Northridge lately, but it looks like you know a lot more than that old thing! β
"Don't you think your own words are weird? I didn't even know if there was anything abnormal and ran over?! Asa questioned, "It feels like you're playing Sakura!" β
"Shut up! Idiot! Cherry. You said. Nabal ignored Asa again.
"Mr. Nabal," hesitantly, but with a little caution. I asked him, "I...... Can you be trusted? β
"Trust it or not, but if it's related to that kid in Serrestine, you'd better tell me what you know!"
"Huh? Brother Lacey was already there," little Luca, who had been concentrating on playing with the magic sword, suddenly raised his head, "Nabar...... Uncle? You mean it's not that Brother Reis is still alive?! β
However, Nabal didn't answer directly, just stared at little Luca in silence for a while, and finally. He sighed, "No, I mean that a lot of important things happen to the dead, too!" β
"Oh......" The sapphire eyes that had just glinted with hope dimmed again.
"Forget it." It seemed that after answering little Luca, Nabal's mood was much more melancholy, "Sakura, I'll just say it directly, I can tell you that something has changed in the North Ridge." Or maybe you are asked to investigate. It's either the church or the non-divine association, they don't deserve your secrets for them! β
"You know the Non-God Society?!"
"Well, a bunch of self-righteous fools who claim to be the guardians of the world!" Nabal replied disdainfully, "They're just a bunch of bastards!" Did you say that the Association of Gods asked you to come? β
Opinionated? You can say that again!
Just because Lacey has the potential to cause disaster to the world, the non-god association that wants to get rid of him is indeed a bunch of self-righteous bastards!
"Yes," I nodded.
Now that Nabal had noticed it, it was not easy to continue to hide it, so I told Nabal in detail about what had happened in the past week.
Of course. I did not divulge the true identity of the Bishop of Frank.
"I see......" After listening to my account, Nabalno nodded thoughtfully. Looks like it's time to investigate the mountain......"
"That's it! We can tell you that Sakura has said it, and it's time for you to answer our questions," Asa asked, "How did you know that something had changed in Northridge, Nabal?!" And so sure it has something to do with Thresten's red-eyed one?! β
"Sakura, I've been looking for Rusya," still ignoring Asa, Nabal told me again.
"Huh? Have you looked for her? What about Ogi? β
"She can't go for the time being, and there will be a chance later."
"Oh!"
"I left you something at Ruthaya, and it's important for you to remember to get it."
"What's that?!" Little Luca's curiosity was intrigued.
"I can't say it, your sister Sakura will know it when she goes to see it." Unexpectedly, Nabal was very kind to little Luca, and even spoke to her in a gentle tone.
This beloved little fellow!
"Hey! Nabal! Asa finally couldn't help it, "What the hell do you mean?!" β
"Huh?"
"Don't say this and don't say that, you're so mysterious, how can we trust you?"
"Trust it or not is Sakura's business." Nabal looked a little impatient.
"Sakura is so kind! Nabal! Asa approached him in exasperation, "Why don't you answer me?" β
"Because you're an idiot!" Nabal's face sank, and he once again exuded a little murderous aura.
"Idiot?! How do I think those questions are key? What do you really know? Why do you care so much about Threstin? Why are you so kind to Sakura? Why did you come here 'by coincidence'?! Tell you! I'm not as gullible as Sakura! After a pause, Asa raised his voice and shouted at Nabal, "You must know more and more secrets! β
"Asa!" Although I agreed with Asa's question, I still stopped him from getting emotional, "Don't talk about it! Calm down! β
"Sakura! Don't trust Ogi just because he's his brother! Did you forget? He's been in trouble with the red eye, and he doesn't deserve your trust at all! β
"Then who do you say can be trusted? Non-God Society?! Nabal teased boredly.
"Huh?" Asa was stunned for a moment, obviously surprised by Nabal's mention of the Non-God Society at this time, but then replied, "Of course! They"
"Idiot! Those bastards are taking advantage of you! Nabal interrupted him coldly, "You can't see such an obvious loophole?" You're far worse than Threistine! Self-righteous fools! (To be continued......)
