Chapter 6: Confusion of Thoughts
A corner of the pure white city.
In front of an old house.
John? Goth hesitated.
By that David? According to Master Sahel, his master, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", was on the other side of the door.
The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" knows the whole truth...... Everything in the past......
In his heart, Goth felt that there was nothing wrong with being a businessman. But now that he knew that there was still a mage in the world, Goth couldn't help but wonder from the bottom of his heart what kind of person he was as a mage.
But is it really good to ask for help from the "Emperor of the Eternal Night"? He's an evil wanted criminal. Maybe he'll tell himself a false story, maybe he'll force himself to serve him.
It was obviously better to go back and ask Victoria. However, Goth didn't want to add any more annoyance to the busy girl. If you regain even a little bit of strength...... You can help her on your own, instead of continuing to rely on her.
It is true that he left behind a secret hand to guard against the conspiracy of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". But in the face of a mage of this level, his own methods may not be effective......
Just as Goth hesitated, the door to the old house opened.
"Come in," an unfamiliar voice sounded directly in Goth's head, "I won't hurt you." Are you ready to face the truth, junior brother? ”
……
The garrison of the city guards.
Dimi felt that the girl's appearance was a little strange.
Could it be that the war is imminent, and Victoria is also a little nervous......?
Victoria is no longer a fledgling novice warrior. However, this is the first time she has experienced such a big battle.
Of course, too......
"Victoria," Dimi comforted, "don't be too nervous. ”
Seeing that the girl was silent, Dimi spoke again: "I have never participated in this kind of war. But we'll win. We always ......"
The girl smiled.
"It's been a hundred years before you want to encourage me with your clumsy tongue," she shook her head, "I'm fine." Thank you. ”
Dimi's face flushed slightly.
The girl hesitated for a moment.
"I have something to tell you," said the maiden, casting a spell to shield eavesdropping, "it's a secret. It's up to you to decide whether you want to tell someone or not. ”
It's a bit of a suddenness to mention it now. However, I have to say it.
"You're now a Blue Ocean junior. I don't care when you break through to the Blue Ocean Intermediate level, but please don't break through to the Blue Ocean Advanced level just yet. For us secret warriors who have comprehended the 'Deity Arrival', reaching the Blue Ocean Advanced is reaching the Legend, but ...... Please be sure to wait. ”
"What the hell is going on, Victoria?" Dimi's heart was full of puzzlement.
"Leave it alone. Just remember what I said. Do you want to do that yourself...... Well, even though you're a super genius, I don't think you'll be able to break through right away. I'm telling now just as a precaution. ”
"Don't break through to the Blue Ocean Advanced" was what the mage Goth said to the girl the day before he disappeared. The girl didn't know why Goth said this, but since he asked himself to tell everyone, and he agreed, he would do it.
"Did you find anything, Victoria?" Dimi asked in a low voice.
"I didn't find out."
"Who's that?"
"I can't talk about it yet. The man wanted me to pass this on to the young geniuses I knew. But I decided to be the first to tell you. ”
"It's so suspicious."
"I thought so too. However, even you and me, who are destined to reach the realm of legends, need a long time to accumulate a lot of money to get to that point. So I don't think there's anything to worry about for now. ”
"It's true that this warning doesn't mean anything to us right now," Dimi said, "and we still have time to investigate." ”
"I'm relieved when you say that." The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Dimi is calmer than he thought......
Dimi's focus is not on the girl's advice.
Victoria Today...... It's weird, Dimi thought to himself.
No matter how hard you try to pretend to be indifferent, today's girls are obviously a little different from usual.
Beneath the calm exterior was a certain eagerness and anxiety that had never been seen in her before.
"I'll leave," said the maiden, "and I'll go out of town." ”
She turned and walked towards the door.
"Victoria!" Dimi shouted. He had a peculiar "delusion" -
Victoria will be in danger. She spoke in a tone like a recruit about to step onto the battlefield.
But this is a pure white city. Victoria wouldn't be stupid enough to go to the Okadians for a "private fight". What kind of enemies could she encounter at the foot of this legendary and safest pure white city in the world?
And the girl hesitated for a second. For a moment, she really wanted to tell Dimi all the truth.
But she held back. It's not time yet.
"I'll be back soon." The girl said softly.
---------
In a small town along the Sword River, "Luo Town".
The "blood of eternity", who arrived in a hurry, breathed a sigh of relief.
In the routine proclamation just issued by the French State, Admiral Okard Lijie? The disposition of Clemens has already been announced.
Lijie was not captured on the battlefield by the French powers. For the sake of humanity and the "spirit of war", the French power will release Lijie at noon today.
Ties to Okade have been severed, and it is impossible to send Lijie directly to Okade through diplomatic channels. As is customary, a small group of soldiers will be responsible for escorting her to the port along the Sword River.
"The French state also knows how to advance and retreat," Wei said to himself, "No, he wants to divide us by stratagem." It's a beautiful idea. ”
Speaker Nicholas's trust in himself and Lijie will not be shaken by such a trivial matter. He must have seen through the tricks of the French powers.
From the mouth of a big-mouthed soldier, Wei set up that Lijie would board the ship from "Luozhen". A transport boat would take her directly to the border.
As soon as she got on the boat, I followed her and boarded the next one to protect her secretly...... Wei Xiang. The security of the ports of the French state is very lax, and as long as you pay a little bribe, you should not have a problem getting in.
Wei's hotel is very close to the pier. Through the window of his room, he could see the situation on the dock clearly. As soon as the team escorting Lijie appeared, he immediately followed.
……
The hour hand of the pocket watch was already pointing to one o'clock in the afternoon.
Wei felt agitated. Lijie was still nowhere to be seen.
Did she get on the boat from another place?
Just as Wei was fidgeting, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Wei said distraughtly.
A waiter pushed the door open.
"There's a lady out there who wants me to give you this letter, sir." The waiter said.
The waiter looked at Wei with expectant eyes, hoping that Wei would give him a tip. But Wei just waved his hand and motioned for the waiter to leave. The waiter withdrew disappointed.
Wei opened the white envelope. When he saw the handwriting on the letter, his face suddenly lost blood.
……
In a tavern in the city of pure white.
The guards in charge of escorting Lijie are gathering here, enjoying the time of fishing in the open.
"It's great that those people are willing to give us away." A soldier took a large sip of beer.
"At the moment of the great enemy, there are always some people who want to be in the limelight," said another soldier, "and it is because they have been holding back in the city these days, wanting to go out for a walk." ”
"Cheers to the rest!" The crowd raised their glasses together.
