CHAPTER XXXIX

"Great, Ike."

After Olivett left, Ling said with a smile.

"Who knows." Ike shrugged, "He's also using us as gunmen, and it's hard to say who will have the last laugh in the end." Hawkers, but it's a big help to give us a cover to enter the empire, so I'll help him by the way. Ike scratched his head: "Why do I always feel like I've been taking care of kids lately?" ”

"Wasn't Ike like that before?" Ling smiled absentmindedly

"This is different, in the past, if a stupid person dared not listen to me, I would take him to the battlefield." Ike touched his beardless chin, "But it doesn't seem to work on those nobles right now." ”

"Ike, you look like a bad guy right now."

"Bad guys... It doesn't feel bad. Ike picked Ling up and got up from the ground, "Aren't they too slow?" ”

The search team is divided into two teams, one team led by Kevin and the other team led by Sister Lis, in order to be able to search faster, the strategy of two teams is rotated, and the team can recover and explore at maximum speed at one time.

"Ling, how long has it been now?" Ike suddenly spoke, and some inexplicable questions came out of his mouth.

"Ling can't feel it." Ling seemed to understand what Ike was asking, but shook her head in reply. Not only that, but Ling seemed to feel that time was slowing down more and more.

"You really can't feel the time?" Ike muttered to himself thoughtfully, he could perceive the passage of time, but he could not perceive specific time, I am afraid that in this space, the concept of 'time' has been deprived or does not exist at all. Ike's whole body suddenly froze, if it goes on like this, no matter how long it passes, no one will notice, and even he will be lost in this space, Ike can't even remember when he came to this space. One day? Two days? A week? Fortnight? Or a month? If it were the same time outside as here ...

"It's a little tricky." Ike's eyes became more and more solemn, and before he couldn't tell whether he came to this space physically or mentally, this time would be extremely important, because no one could sustain a month without eating or drinking! Even if it's a deep sleep! "I don't know if they can feel it... Now the most important thing is to get out first. "Ike regretted it a little, if he had been clearer and used his sword to cut through Ling's restraints, there would probably not be so many things.

Blue light erupted, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bright light in front of the stone monument. After a burst of light, Liz and Kim walked out of the light. At first glance, it seemed that they had not been injured in the slightest, but the blood stains on their clothes showed what a terrible battle they had experienced.

"I was careless for a while, and I almost suffered a big loss." Jin returned to the stele and sat down with a sigh of relief, his eyes instantly a little sluggish, although there would be no injury, but his physical strength and spirit could not be replenished no matter what.

"What happened?" Joshua looked at Estelle, who didn't look good when she was covered in blood.

"We ran into three executors." Liz replied, "Later, when we wanted to take a closer look, we ran into the Black Knight. ”

"What?!" Everyone was amazed.

"To be exact, we have reached the place of the final trial." Liz smiled wryly. "And the Black Knight heard Estelle say that he is still an acquaintance of yours."

"Is it Levy!?" There was urgency in Joshua's eyes.

"Impossible!" Ike denied that he knew better than anyone else the existence of the Outer Reason, "With that sword, there's no way for Levi to get in here." ”

"It's Reinhardt." Kim nodded, "But it's not." ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Judging by the look and the sound, it was indeed the executor, Reinhardt, yes. But judging from his body and swordsmanship, he is much weaker than Reinhardt. It's like ... King's brow furrowed, as if imagining words to describe him. It's like ... That's right, fake! It's like another fake Reinhardt. ”

"Counterfeit ... Is it? "Everyone had an expression of disbelief, many of them saw the strength of the Black Knight, and they really couldn't figure out why such a powerful person would pretend to be Reinhardt."

"You defeated him?"

"Nope." Kim shook his head ashamedly.

“。。。 Let's go. Ike said to Kevin, "Add me, I just have something I want to confirm." ”

"And me." Joshua stepped forward, "I have something I want to ask Levi too. ”

"Wait, Kevin! I'll go with you, too. ”

"Liz? You stay here to rest. Kevin vetoed it.

"No problem, I can fight again, and most importantly, I saw it, on the side of the black knight, a road blocked by a stone tablet, I saw the House of Asters!" Liz replied excitedly.

“!!!”

"Aster House? What is that? "The crowd was confused.

“。。。。。。 I understand. Kevin closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes, "But when the war starts, it's good for you to stand behind us and support us." ”

“。。。 Good. Looked at by Kevin's discerning eyes, Liz nodded in agreement.

"Then it's a problem for the two of you." Kevin turned around and looked at Ike and Joshua.

"Although I would like to ask why... But you don't seem to be going to tell us, are you? ”

"There are some things that are easier to explain directly than to see them." Kevin smiled bitterly, took the way from Liz, and glanced at the tiny words on the ashlar, his eyes suddenly becoming deep and hollow. Immediately afterward, a bright light came out of the ashlar, enveloping everyone and immediately teleporting to the ark.

"This is ... stains, I didn't expect even this to be copied. Looking at the familiar ark, Ike sighed, the location of the teleportation monument was so close that Ike could even see the room at the end of the corridor at a glance.

The empty sanctuary was not guarded by anyone, and looking at this familiar and unfamiliar room, Ike immediately sensed the difference between the two, the real sanctuary had an ineffable force surrounding it, and there was a quaint difference between it and this counterfeit. Slightly disappointed, he shook his head. It's hard to enter this room often even if you're yourself.,I originally planned to take the opportunity to explore it by the way.,But this space is obviously still flawed.。 Disappointed, I found out immediately. Behind the door at the end, a murderous aura crept through the crack that was probably left behind by Estelle pushing the door open.

"It's really murderous." An inexplicable glint kept flashing in Ike's eyes. "Joshua, you feel it too."

"Well, this feeling, it's really Levy, it's just...

"Killing intent isn't enough"
