"I see...... They are...... Although I heard something about it afterwards. After listening to Helliga explain his relationship and story with Guy, Arios, and Lloyd, Kevin finally understood, "Estelle and they mentioned it in their correspondence though......"

"Estelle will still be in touch with you." Heliga was a little surprised.

"Hmm...... After Liber's mutation, the Codex Kingdom also seems to have a desire to further strengthen its relationship with Liber. However, I don't know the specific things very well, mainly because the canonization province is planning...... It seems to be the one we got in touch with Liber on the eve of the Anomaly. ”

"It's curious though...... But forget it, these things are enough of a headache now. After some conversation, the guerrillas and the police were ready to go about their business, and Heliga and Kevin received some reassurance and assistance from them - the Guerrilla Guild would use the name of the commission to get Liz out of the sight of the Diocesan of Elalda, and exchange information with Kevin, and the most important thing for Heliga at the moment was to find the Black Moon, who had now been transferred to the former stronghold of Joachim, and he had to make sure that the back hand he left behind was safe.

"I'm also very confused, and this incident, maybe they will have to help." Kevin sighed, "Although with the character of those two people, it will definitely come...... Guerrilla associations may not be able to provide more assistance. ”

"If things get to that point, Ling might come back too...... It's not to join in the fun, but to keep her important people from being hurt. As far as Helliga knew, although Ling was still reluctant to negotiate too much with her biological parents, on the birthday of her biological brother Colin, she still racked her brains and managed to find Lloyd, who supported Cole, and sent Colin birthday wishes and gifts - for this, Heliga was surprised but also very relieved, and in time, maybe she could really see the day that everyone silently blessed.

"It's not quite in line with the rules...... But it is indeed a joy to have the help of the "Executor" level of combat power. Kevin laughed, "Why don't you come and help then?" ”

"Let's see...... We can't say what will become of the empire, and when it will be time to end the chaos. Heliga shook her head, "But you reminded me of this...... There's another person I should probably meet, who might be of some helpful help. ”

"Who?" Kevin was curious.

"Also a man who left the association...... Although the outside world thinks he has an eccentric temper, he is actually a very warm-hearted person. Heliga smiled mysteriously.

——————————————————————————

"Hmm...... I've made up my mind. "For some reason, Qi Ya, who is emitting a faint glow all over her body, has a little more divine feeling than the usual appearance of an ordinary little girl. At this moment, she was wiping away her tears, and looked at the armored female knight in front of her, the "Saint of Steel" Arian Hurd, the seventh pillar of the Devouring Serpent, and the collaborator behind Crossbell's farce.

"Hmm...... I have come today to meet the Son. Arian Hurd bowed his head slightly, "Please come with me." ”

"Gollum ......" An unexpected figure emerges from the shadows. It's not Lloyd and the others who are sleeping, but Zet, who suddenly joined in about half a year ago and gradually became a part of them that they can't ignore—a police dog, but in fact it is a sacred beast that follows the ancient covenant of the guardian "Illusory Treasure". Maybe it was because he had discovered the unique aura on Arian Heard's body, or maybe it was just because of his instinct as a holy beast—it was looking at the woman in front of him with a fierce expression at this moment, as its current duties required.

"Is the Overseer of the Illusory Silver......" Arien Hurd turned his gaze back to Zeit, the same standard knightly salute.

"No need to be polite, apostle of association." Zeit said—Maybe Lloyd and the others would be surprised to hear it, but in fact, Zeit, who is a holy beast, has the same special ability as Regunat, and can directly project sound into people's minds, and at this moment, only Arian Heard and Kia can hear his voice, "If you want to take this child...... It's too rude not to say hello. ”

"This courage is commendable, but this is the order of the Alliance Leader." Arian Heard raised his head, a solemn expression on his beautiful face, "It's rude." Then, the huge knight's spear responded to the summons from the void, oppressing the phantom beast in front of him.

"I'll go with you...... No...... Don't hurt the wolf...... Mr. Zeit! Qi Ya hurriedly stretched out her arms, blocking the whirlpool of fighting energy and spiritual power intertwined around a man and a wolf.

"I obey your commands." Arian Hurd responded to the call, and when he raised his hand, the huge knight's spear and the fighting spirit around him were gone. Zet, who was left alone, looked at Qi Ya with a complicated eye, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"It's okay...... Do not worry. After saying goodbye to Zeat with a beautiful expression, Kia took Arian Hurd's hand under Chait's gaze and walked quietly and step by step into the distance.

“…… You're here too. For a long time, in the streets where the cold wind was blowing, Arian Heard's methodical footsteps had stopped until now. In front of her were a silver-haired boy with an unpredictable expression, and a green-haired priest who was secretly guarding beside her.

"Are you ......" Kia seemed to show some surprise for a moment, followed by a confused expression.

"Kia...... It's impossible for them to say goodbye to you like that. Helliga ignored Kevin's guard, nor did he pay attention to Arian Heard's greeting, but said softly to Kia, "Trust that...... They're going to do everything they can. ”

"Although judging by strength, it is not a wise choice to rush into war with you...... Especially if you have the "fifth" by your side. Arian Hurd raised her hand slightly, and a strange surge of energy appeared again, only this time she no longer had the calmness she had when facing Zeit, but changed to a wary expression, "And I have also heard a lot about you from Reinhardt, and I also have great admiration for your person...... But this is the ...... of the alliance leader"

"Don't get me wrong...... I'm not here to declare war on you and the Society. Heliga spread his hands, and there was no energy around him, and he used this method to explain to the latter that he had no intention of going to war, "Don't mention anything else...... How many people will be affected by the aftermath of the battle in this city of Crossbell alone? ”

"Then ...... you" Arian Heard looked puzzled at first, then reassured, "I see...... Are you here to do your own thing? ”

"That's right." Helliga nodded, "So, can you let me have a few words with Kia?" I've said I'm not going to interfere with your plans, and I'd like to say a few words to her alone. ”

“…… All right. Arian Heard frowned slightly, but finally backed down. She remembered what the Alliance Master had told her, the secret behind this young man who was a little mysterious about everything, and the powerful presence that the Alliance Master himself admitted existed, "Just not too long." ”

"Kevin, please avoid it for a while." Heliga said to Kevin, who let his guard down when Heliga said that he didn't want to go to war tonight, "I'll come to you soon." ”

"Hmm." Kevin simply answered and didn't bother to ask. He has enough trust in Heliga.

——————————————————————————

"Brother Heliga?"

"Huh?"

"That...... You brought me here, ......"

"Well...... I'd like to have a casual conversation with the popular you, as everyone else does, but it's clear that the Fullmetal Maiden won't tolerate me for long. So I can only make a long story short. Heliga smiled wryly as he and Kia arrived at the bench rest on another street, "You haven't said anything yet, but I can basically judge the Cullois family...... What do I want to do with you? ”

"I ......" Qiya seemed to want to say something, but her eyes suddenly dimmed.

"I'm not blaming you...... War itself means casualties. This is bound to happen anyway, the difference is only in the amount of action......" Helliga paused for a moment, his eyes gloomy swept over the cold guiding lights on the side of the street - because the negative impact of the Red Constellation attack was still there, so Crossbell in the middle of the night was no longer as bustling as before, but a little deserted, plus probably the "association" had already been prepared, and it prevented the possibility of any outsiders coming, "I just want to ask...... In this matter, is it Mayor Dita or Miss Mariabel who has contributed the most? ”

Kia fell silent again. The difference is that this time it's not because she doesn't know how to answer, but because she's already made up her mind to keep it a secret.

"If you don't say it, it's probably the person who gave it. Of course, I won't, and I'm not going to force you, to say it. Heliga stood up and paced up and down the street as he said, "Let me guess...... Mayor Dita is supposed to be the apparent enforcer of this - but he is not behind the whole conspiracy. He wants to use your power to resist the invasion of the two powers, so as to force Cross Bell in the direction he wants, and then he will dominate the political situation in the surrounding area, and even in the whole of Semria. Of course, if this person can make such a stupid decision, it means that he is also a stupid politician, so he will pay attention to what he calls "justice" in this kind of thing...... As soon as the situation stabilizes, he will relinquish his position as head of state and listen to the will of the people for a new election...... I'm afraid it's true. ”

"Hmm...... That's what Uncle Dita is. Kia lowered her head and said softly.

"Well, then, it's Mariabel's problem." Heliga nodded, "Dita is obsessed with his beautiful dreams, so she can take advantage of the fisherman's profits and use your power for some ulterior purposes...... I'm not wrong, am ......? ”

Kia's body trembled imperceptibly, and she didn't reply. Heiliga didn't ask any further, because Kia's performance had fully stated the facts and truth.

"Let's go...... Don't keep that guy waiting too long. Heliga patted Kia on the back and motioned for her to come to her senses, "Whatever they want you to do next...... I just want to say that for every sentence you get, please be sure to think carefully and don't take it for granted...... Do you understand? ”

"Hmm." Kia nodded. But Helliga could see that she didn't listen, or could not understand—for though she was now at the heart of everything, and possessed the power of a treasure-like majesty that she had not yet done to reappear, her personality and mind as a human being were the most confused. He had already made some agreements with the church, although he might be a little sorry for Lloyd and them to do so, but since this was something that the "association" had to do, he couldn't do anything extraneous at this critical moment. Talking to Qi Ya alone, on the one hand, is also to completely finalize the conclusion that has already taken shape in his heart, and on the other hand, he also wants to give Qi Ya some enlightenment, which is the only thing he can do at present.

"Is the association a participant or an observer?" Heliga, who returned to Arian Hurd's side with Kia, said in a meaningful tone.

"No comment." Arian Hurd's face was expressionless, "Let's go, Lord Son. ”

Kia and the Seventh Pillar walked away again, and this time they were not hindered in any way. However, Helliga and Kevin had no intention of leaving, because there was another being who had been near them all along.

"I thought you were going to do something...... "I didn't expect ......," said Zeatt in a deep voice.

"I don't plan to get too involved in this matter at the moment. Of course, I won't be difficult for you, and in this situation, it shouldn't be interesting to continue to play police dogs around them. ”

"It's boring, but I don't hate it...... It's just that you're right, I do need to do something else...... "Ancient Covenant", although my dear friend is already relaxed, I'm afraid I still have ...... here."

"Looks like you don't need my help?" Heliga asked softly.

"You don't just come and make trouble. But...... Although not particularly obvious. Zeatt shook his head and said, "Maybe soon...... You will also be involved in this. ”

"Why?" Heliga asked.

"You'll find out then...... You can't resist that kind of attraction. Zeit replied simply, and then began to run away. Before leaving, the last passage of the thought reached the minds of Helliga and Kevin: "Still, if you can...... You can take my place and take care of those guys. ”

With that, Zet's figure also disappeared into the night.
