Chapter 325: Arrival
With Is's departure, the ancient room finally quieted down again, and when the two finally took a breath, Ike also began to look at his injuries, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, the body below the head did not reflect at all, not so much paralysis, but perception forcibly severed the connection between the brain and the body.
"How? Still can't act? Lixia asked with concern.
"No, this is the first time I've seen this happen." Ike shook his head and looked at the wound on his broken arm out of the corner of his eye, "It's not a wound at all, it's more like something higher is cutting off the connection between me and my body." Perhaps, as she said, attacks at this level cannot be cured by ordinary treatment alone. ”
"But didn't Lord Iss already say that this injury has been blocked by her, and it may not be long before she recovers completely." Lixia reassured.
"I hope so, but before that I can take back the command of my body." Ike replied sullenly, the meaning of losing an arm and losing a whole body can be said to be very different, in Ike's current situation, even the loss of his right hand is just a reduction in combat power, but now he has become a vegetative state, for Ike, who thinks highly of himself, this is the most unbearable thing, if he lives in this situation for a long time, it will be more terrible than death.
"Speaking of which, Lord Isis just said that someone came looking for us from outside the barrier, right?" Seeing that Ike was in a gloomy state, Lixia quickly diverted the topic.
"You don't have to think about that kind of thing, the people in the Western Continent who know this place, at least in the territory of Erebonia, can count them on one hand, and among them, the only one who knows that I am here is probably Ling." Ike finally smiled a little, and whenever Ling was mentioned, no matter how irritable and desperate the situation was, Ike could always smile. Everyone has their own sun, just like Joshua's Estelle, Lloyd's Kia... Or is it Ellie? For Ike, Theo and Ling have the most important sun in their hearts, although the number of people around him is increasing now, but there are only two people who can be crowned as the sun, although I don't know if it will increase in the future, but it is true for now.
"Lord Isis did say that Xiao Ling had also been to this place."
"Of course she will say that the last time Ling and I came to this strange place by accident while traveling around the mainland, she has been obsessed with Ling for several years, and if my guess is correct, the reason why she ran away in advance is probably because she wanted to persuade Ling alone." Ike replied indignantly.
"Isn't it great? Let Xiaoling also come over to receive the guidance of Lord Is. Lixia was a little puzzled, "Although she hasn't reached the point where she needs it for the time being, with Ling's posture, I believe she will be able to surpass me soon." ”
"That's right." Ike muttered and replied, "With Ling's talent, I've seen the best, whether it's practicing magic or martial arts, even the guy who doesn't deal with me wants to teach Ling." But maybe it's because I'm selfish, I don't want Ling to go down this path, to follow my old path. She's still young, and the possibilities are endless, and for me I'd rather be like Titan... That is, the granddaughter of Dr. Russell of Liber Zeiss Workshop, living happily away from war and intrigues, and living her life happily, although this wish is too extravagant for me, but at least I want to get as close to this wish as possible. ”
"It's like a doting parent." Lixia couldn't help but smile.
"Parents... A complicated look flashed in Ike's eyes, "Maybe so... Or maybe not, the two of them are special, at least from the time I first set the goal for the two of them, although there is a sense of differentiation in saying this, but in that little... Even now I have not wavered. The goal of changing the world is too ambitious, so ambitious that it is even a little ethereal, and in the beginning, all I wanted to do was to change everything around them, so that they could have a better living environment, not be polluted by darkness, filth and war like I did... ”
"Then you've done it, haven't you?" Lixia gently hugged Ike's head and replied gently, "Whether it's Tio or Ling, aren't they all living in a good environment now?" There are friends, relatives, colleagues, comrades... ”
“。。。 Your comforting words are strange. After a moment of silence, Ike suddenly replied with a smile.
"Ahhh~ I'm also a person who has survived in your environment, so I naturally know how to comfort people like you. Or do you not like it? Lixia rarely teased Ike with her own experience, and there was no more gloom in her brisk smile, and it was not only Ike who was making rapid progress this year, but also Lixia.
"No, I like it." Ike replied, his ears moved slightly, in the noisy waves, two footsteps with different steps gradually approached the room from far to near, the familiar and brisk footsteps made Ike can't help but want to straighten his body, with the help of Lixia, it didn't take long for Ike to hear two footsteps stop outside the door, a tall and a low figure standing in front of the door, and a faint sound of conversation came from the crack in the door.
"It's here, right?" The girl asked, confused.
"That's what Lord Iss said, and this is the Elder's room, and if Ike hadn't left, they would have been inside." The other girl replied firmly.
"Oh?" The familiar and unfamiliar voice made Ike and Lixia stunned together, as the old wooden door was squeaked open, the two girls walked into the house one after the other, compared to the purple long-haired girl who looked younger, the older blonde girl stood more shy at the back of the line, the beautiful pupils like ruby scanned the room with an uneasy gaze, when he saw Ike in the middle of the living room, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his white fingers pointed at Ike and stammered, "Ai Ai Ai Ike——"
"Elliot."
"Not really!" Alyssa blurted out.
"It's a bit of a surprise that you're here, but it's nice to see you, Ling, Alyssa." Ike replied with a relieved face.
"Ling brought Sister Alyssa here." The smug look on Ling's face had just changed drastically, and she didn't care to take off her shoes and gently jumped to Ike's side, looking at Ike's disappeared right hand and the white light covering the wound at the broken place, "Ike, what's going on?" ”
