Chapter 819: Mysterious God
The meetings of the Nangong group are always held on time.
And from the members to the leader, no one will be late for the meeting of the Nangong group.
From this point of view, the difference between the Nangong Group and the Divine Habitat Guild seems to be quite big.
Because it's not just a difference in details, it's also a difference in attitude.
However, in the case of the Divine Habitat Guild, there is usually only one person who is late, in fact, this difference is not very big.
"Team leader, why haven't we started the meeting at 8:02 today?" Ruotou, who was standing on the side, leaned close to Nangong Xiaya's ear and asked quietly.
"Because there's a guy who hasn't come yet." Nangong Xiaya looked at the crowd that had begun to stir a little in the audience, and replied slowly.
"But the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and although the person who is late is the second lady, you shouldn't make an exception like this." Ruotou continued, "It will damage your prestige." ”
"Who told you I was waiting for the morning?" Nangong Xiaya turned his head and glanced at the man, "I'm waiting for the edge of the long night." ”
"What? The outsider? Ruotou looked a little surprised, "Why did you make an exception for him?" Many of the brothers didn't even know him, that he existed. ”
"I didn't make an exception for him." Nangong Xiaya shook his head, "It's just that because he is not a member of our Nangong Group yet, as a way of hospitality, I should wait for him to arrive." ”
"I see." Ruotou seemed to understand, and then after bowing apologetically to Nangong Xiaya, he retreated.
At this moment, the door of the conference hall in the castle tower was slowly pushed open from the outside to the inside.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Edge stood in the doorway for a long time, bowed as these people used to do on a daily basis, and then strode into the hall, through the corridor formed by the group.
"Although you are an outsider, I should treat you in the same way as a hospitality, but today's meeting is an occasion for the whole group to gather, so I think you should tell everyone why you are late, even if it is to give an explanation to these group members."
Nangong Xiaya sat on the high seat at the end of the hall, and his voice resounded loudly throughout the hall.
"First of all, I'm sorry to everyone." Edge Changye nodded, looked around at the crowd in the hall, and then said slowly, "Because I never do things for no reason, I will also tell you my reasons for being late this time." ”
"I don't expect you to forgive me for that, but I have to show it to you."
As he spoke, he took out an item from his backpack and slowly walked to the high seat where Nangong Xiaya was sitting with it.
"This ...... This is! ”
Nangong Yaya showed an expression of disbelief just when he saw the appearance of this thing, and even Hikotsuki Hokusai behind him showed a slight trace of seriousness.
"Stand up and hold this up for everyone to see." Nangong Yaya pointed to the side of his seat and motioned for the edge to come to him.
"Okay." Edge Long Night took three steps and two steps to the side of Nangong Xiaya's seat, and then showed the things in his hand in front of all the members in the hall.
It was a small blue bird, and although it looked very beautiful, it always gave people a sense of unnaturalness, or incongruity.
That kind of incongruity is a feeling that only occurs when it does not conform to the aesthetics of nature.
It's like a three-legged wild horse, or an elephant with a trunk as short as a pig.
That's how this bird feels.
Because it has a mouth that only appears on mammals.
"This is the demon I caught on the top of the castle tower, and it seems to be hovering over Egret Castle at the time, as if it was watching something." Edge Long Night explained.
"Wait, you say the demon?" Nangong Xiaya, who was sitting on a high seat on the side, seemed to have some confusion about what he was talking about.
"That's right, this creature is a lifeform made of pure magic, so I think it might be a mage who made a demon, what's wrong?" The edge of the long night was also a little puzzled by Nangong Xiaya's reaction.
"You won't forget what I said." Nangong Xiaya spread his hands, "There are no mages in this divine habitat, so the demons you are talking about do not exist." ”
"But ......" Edge Long Night pointed to the blue bird in his hand, intending to justify.
"This thing isn't what you say you are talking about." Nangong Xiaya directly interrupted the defense of the edge of the long night, "I have seen this bird, although it may be similar to the principle of demonization you said, but in our place, this kind of thing is called Shikami, and the Shikjin you captured, its owner is Twilight. ”
Twilight is an onmyoji, as Long Night on Edge already knows.
But he didn't expect that he would intersect with Twilight Rain, one of the two masters of the Divine Habitat, so quickly.
"You were able to capture his Shikigami." Nangong Xiaya's expression was still a little surprised, "How did you do it?" ”
"I didn't do anything in particular." "I just saw it, and then chased it for about a few hundred meters and caught it in the air." ”
"Chasing ...... Wait, you mean, you're chasing in the air? Other words...... Can you fly? Nangong Xiaya was surprised again.
"yes." Edge Changye let out a sigh, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to catch it." ”
When they heard this, all the team members present let out an exclamation.
In this country without a magical atmosphere, perhaps being able to fly is a very rare ability.
"You know what?" Nangong Xiaya stabilized his mood and said slowly, "Before you came to this divine habitat, except for Nangong Morning and Night, only Hikotsuki Hokusai could fly. ”
"Because the top level of the Divine Habitat Tower, if you fly it, you can quickly and directly reach it without having to climb the stairs inside the tower. So when Hikotsuki Hokusai told me that he was able to fly, I just asked him to do it. Saying that, Nangong Xiaya sighed, "But in the Divine Fall Lodge that envelops the Divine Habitat Tower, as long as you fly upward, the breath of death will become heavier and heavier, and even Hikotsuki Hokusai will not be able to fly to the top with that powerful death power." ”
"So that's why I called Morning Night back, because she might be able to solve this problem with both flight ability and necromancy...... Wait, what about morning and night? ”
