Chapter 42
"Levy!"
Soon after Ike rushed forward, Joshua also rushed from the battlefield. It's a bit embarrassing, but it's fine. No matter how advanced the robot is, it has no experience to match, and it can't compete with the veteran warriors.
"Don't be nervous, Levy is alive and well." Ike patted Joshua on the shoulder.
"Is this true?" Joshua turned his head and asked very seriously.
"It's hard to say." Ike scratched his head, "He has the will to exist in a part of Levy. God knows how that guy managed to sneak into the world with only a part of his consciousness. But fortunately, he only has a part of the will, otherwise it would be quite tricky. ”
"What, what the hell is going on?"
"I'm afraid it's the power of the Ring of Radiance." Kevin walked up from behind, "I don't know how he rejected the power of the Ring of Radiance, but it doesn't seem like he was able to completely reject this power, which is why this is the result." ”
"Thanks to this, I also brought him some news by the way, otherwise it would be really troublesome for that guy to hide and find him." Ike nodded, acknowledging Kevin's guess.
"Do you know where Levi is now?" Joshua asked with some urgency.
"I don't know yet, but he'll probably go to the Autonomous Prefecture or the Empire next. After all, there was what he wanted. Ike gave Joshua a meaningful look, "I guess it has something to do with you." ”
"Me?"
"Okay~Now ask a question~" Ike clapped his hands and looked at the two of them who didn't know why, and a smile appeared on his face.
"If you had the opportunity to get what you want, whatever you wanted ... What will happen to you? ”
Almost at the same time, the light cast by the eyes of the two men seemed to be able to burn people's eyes, staring at their prey like wolves.
"Are you eyeing it..." Kevin was the first to understand something, staring at Ike deadly, "That's just a legend." ”
"So what?" Ike sneered, "Where there is a legend, there must be a source." Before the appearance of the Ring of Radiance, how many people believed that the goddess of the void really existed? I'm afraid that even your church has doubts about the Seven Treasures of the Goddess, but now that the Seven Treasures have really appeared, and there are countless careerists with them, don't tell me that your church will not be moved. I know a lot of Star Cup Knights, and with such a large-scale transfer, there is no way to hide it from someone with a heart. ”
"It has nothing to do with you." Kevin said in a deep voice, "Besides, even if it is a Star Cup Knight, no one can interfere with other Star Cup Knights at will. ”
"That's really like that. Executor. Ike shrugged.
"What the hell do you tell this about?" Kevin asked, "With your ability, wouldn't it be better if you wanted to do it quietly?" ”
"Isn't there a saying that says it well? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ike replied, "I can't fight the Snake guys, but the Church is the Snake's enemy, right?" ”
"And then you're going to reap the fisherman's profits?" Kevin sneered, "I didn't say it, you're too arrogant, right?" Do you want to snatch the Seven Arcana too? ”
"When did I say I wanted it?" Ike suddenly laughed and interrupted Kevin's words, "Didn't I tell you, all I want is its power, I don't care about it, how about returning it to your church as a reward after using it?" ”
Kevin's eyes narrowed, constantly thinking about the meaning of Ike's words, "What are you... What do you want to do? ”
"Quite simply, I want to use its power to achieve my purpose, or rather, our purpose."
“。。。 Is this the price you pay for gathering people? ”
"You can understand that this is one of the factors." Ike nodded in acknowledgement, "But not everyone has these desires. Everyone's wishes are different, and I want them to join me if it suits my appetite. ”
"Is it so easy for you to kidnap those strong people?" Kevin was a little surprised, he searched for a lot of information about Ike in half a year, and many strong people in various parts of the continent had contact with him. If there were half of these strong men, no, just a quarter would be enough to set off a big storm.
"We're not like churches or snakes. To be precise, this is not an organization at all, it is just a group of people who have gathered for themselves or a big goal" Ike smiled slyly, "This is one of the reasons why I am so blatant, I don't need to create an organization by myself at all, whether it is human, material, financial, or prestige and ability, it is too reluctant. But as a contact, I'm more than enough. ”
"So you didn't plan to go to war with the Society in the first place?"
"Please, do you think I'm like an unborn child like Istelle?" Ike looked at Kevin like a fool, "That's the Body-Eater Serpent, I know far more than you, even your church doesn't dare to declare war easily, you think too highly of me, right?" If I can control the power of a country, it is still possible, but it is only 'possible'. ”
Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the first thing a hunter must learn, without which a hunter would not live to the end of the war, let alone the head of the huntsman. Although Ike has a chivalrous personality, there is no way to survive on the battlefield by relying on this alone, and cunning is always a weapon for battlefield survival, not chivalry.
"Kevin... The atmosphere grew heavier and heavier, and Liz tugged at Kevin's sleeve.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to do it." Kevin sighed as if giving up, the air around him couldn't help but relax, and he said helplessly, "Even if I want to do it, I can't beat him." ”
The tone was very casual, but no one was serious, one was Wiseman, who had just killed the white-faced, and the other was a famous cavalry spear, the two drew their swords and faced each other, and neither knew what would happen.
Looking at the three people whose injuries had healed unconsciously, Kevin thought for a moment, and glanced in a certain direction quietly, "Since everyone is okay, why don't you continue to search?" I think it's coming to an end. ”
Glanced at the three of them, and saw that no one vetoed, so he took out the ashlar stone, chanted a few incantations in his mouth, and the blue light jumped in between, and everyone came to a street in front of the teleportation stele, not far from the stele at an intersection, a strange white fog filled the intersection, and the back feet were obviously not foggy at all, and the front feet were already blurry.
"Looks like this is the right place... Kevin said in a low voice, looking at the somewhat vague roof at the top of the white mist with a somewhat confused expression, his eyes inadvertently revealing a trace of nostalgia and emotion... And fear.
The fog is very large, and the density of the people who have not been seen within a meter is by no means caused by normal fog, it can only be said that it is artificially deliberately trying to cover up something, or to let everyone notice the extraordinaryness of this place. Strangely, under this heavy fog, Kevin and Liz easily recognized the road signs, and kept telling Ike and Joshua directions in front of them, obviously very familiar with this area, as if it was home.
Soon, the fog faded after a few turns. Walking around the last corner, the vision suddenly became clear. Similar to intersections. The difference is that in front of everyone's eyes, an old house is quietly erected there, and there is no breath of people.
"This is... Joshua frowned slightly, the style of the building was very similar to a certain building he had seen, and he couldn't help but look like Kevin.
"This is where I grew up." Kevin stroked the old wall wistfully and replied.
"Welcome to the House of Aster."
