Zhou Lie and Layla sat opposite each other, with two bottles of wine and side dishes on the table, which didn't look like the beginning of a pleasant lunch, but more like a kind of questioning to extract a confession.

After being silent for a long time, Layla poured herself and Zhou Lie a glass of wine, hesitated for a moment, tilted her neck, and drank the glass of wine.

"I remember the first time I met you, you refused to drink. Zhou Lie smiled, finished the wine, and added two peanuts to his mouth.

"Well, but after traveling with adventurers, I found that drinking is also a good thing, and this spicy taste can reduce the depression in my heart. Layla said.

"But we have a saying there that makes wine more sorrowful, and perhaps you should say it better. Zhou Lie was kind and seductive, and he didn't know what Layla wanted to ask, so he still didn't speak.

Layla propped her head, looked at Zhou Lie, looked at it for a long time, and said, "I really can't see it, you still have that mask and wig like this?"

"I threw it away, and I didn't need it. Zhou Lie shrugged.

Hearing Zhou Lie's admission, Layla's eyes flickered, and then she smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't know how to face you, you injured my teacher, and at that time, you didn't kill anyone, that day, why did you show up?

Zhou Lie shook his head and told him about his cooperation with the rebels in Oslin, and Layla suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in the world, so you had to help them find the star. Layla muttered, then took another sip of her wine.

The two plates of barbecue ordered by Zhou Lie were delivered to the table, Anne smiled at the person who came, trotted away, and looked at the back of Anne leaving, Layla sighed.

"I don't know if it's good or bad to send her to Tionlis, you should be aware of it, the star of water is engraved in my body, and the talent I have is nothing more than the blessing of the star carving. ”

"I confirmed after meeting Anne, after all, no one I've seen so far has made elemental crystals shine like you and me, and I thought you knew about it all along. Zhou Lie was also a little surprised when he heard Layla mention his own matter, and the other party didn't know his true situation.

"Yes, my master has always said that I am a genius, and now that I think about it, I may be like Anne, I came to Tionlis from a certain area, and now I think back to my memories when I was a child, there are almost no memories of my childhood, the earliest is only in Tionlis, I may not be a magician born in Tionlis at all, and my parents don't know where to wait for me. ”

Hearing Layla's words, Zhou Lie frowned, this was something he had never thought of, according to Layla, she herself was likely to have been cast a special spell, washed away her previous memories, and entered false memories, she may have the same fate as Annie.

Because her master and the parents in her memory had never told her about the star carving in her body, why should she hide it from her daughter?

Layla has been thinking a lot these days, and when she first realized that Zhou Lie might be the flame mage that day, Layla was first angry, angry at the other party's deception of herself, angry at the other party for hurting her teacher, and still talking and laughing with herself these days, as before.

But at the same time, Layla realized that she might not be the hydrophilic physique in the teacher's mouth, just because the water star was engraved in her body, and after that, there were things that could corroborate each other, in Green Shade Town, only Layla and Zhou Lie maintained the memories before the cycle, which was the blessing effect brought by the star carving.

So naturally, Layla had questions in her mind, why her master and parents lied to her, why the world in her eyes was always a little different from what her teacher said, and why sometimes her own mantras didn't work, and now she has found the answer.

Because I didn't use magic, but simply manipulated the elements, I may have learned some magic during this period, but this can't change the fact that the water star is engraved on me and the teacher deceives me.

What is true and what is false, Layla, who is surrounded by lies, is confused and afraid, but with her trust in Tionlis, she still went to Kuwait to talk to her first, she wants to know why the other party can know that the other party has the Wind Star Engraving just by the reaction of the elemental crystal.

"Because this pure light is not something that human beings can emit. Kuwait's simple and straightforward answer shattered the last illusion in Layla's mind, and she couldn't understand why this was happening.

The teacher who grew up is deceiving himself, the friend he thinks is also deceiving himself, and his memory may also be false, so what is true?

The more I thought about it, the more I didn't have so much anger towards Zhou Lie, who might hurt my teacher, and after hearing Zhou Lie's explanation, I could understand the other party's thoughts.

"It doesn't seem that this matter is so simple, are you doubting your background?" Zhou Lie said to Layla's thoughts.

"Hmm. Layla nodded, in fact, her thoughts were all chaotic now, and Zhou Lie's conversation, but she felt that he was different from Tionlis, even if she said that she was safe, other than that, she didn't know what to do next.

"So, would you like to hear my thoughts?" Zhou Lie said, this approach of Tionlis made Zhou Lie, who was accustomed to seeing the royal struggle, smell a hint of conspiracy, and he didn't want to completely obey Bobolini's request, but now it seems that this choice is correct.

After all, if it was just to kill gods, there was no need to change a person's memory, and Zhou Lie didn't believe that they wanted to kill gods at the beginning, and now it seems that this kind of vigilance is correct.

"I've never heard that this is for the sake of killing gods!" Layla said in surprise after listening to Zhou Lie's narration, "Star carving is the embodiment of the legendary rules recorded in the ancient books of Tionlis, and it is the ultimate root of magic, I have never heard of such a use!"

"Oh. It seems that these people have one more lie. Zhou Lie smiled, "This is not the place to continue discussing this topic, if you want to say it, let's go back to the hotel." ”

"Hmm. Layla nodded, and the two wrapped the barbecue in oiled paper and returned to the hotel together.

In Zhou Lie's room, after confirming that no one had seen it, the person who came closed the window, sat down at the table, and continued the topic in a soft voice.

"Honestly, I don't want anyone else to know that the Fire Star is engraved in me. Zhou Lie said, "Because this incident has also brought me a lot of trouble, and there is such a wordy guy in my mind, no one wants to expose it." ”

"Huh, can you hear the words of the star?" Layla was surprised this time.

"Huh... Can't you, you know that I have the fire and the time now, one of them calls himself Frem and the other calls himself Tim, and they quarrel in my head when they have nothing to do, and I think I'm not crazy now, it's really a miracle. ”

Layla frowned, "But I've never heard the Water Star speak to me. ”

"Well, you can ask Anne about it and see if there's any other voice in her head. Zhou Lie proposed.

"No problem, it's still some time before they leave, and I'll have a chance to talk to Anne. Layla replied.

"Then the next thing is that the purpose of this group of people, in fact, from my point of view, is the best way to destroy their plans. Zhou Lie said faintly, looking at Leila's face.

Layla asked, "Why?" in fact, it shouldn't have anything to do with you. ”

"No, there are still some, because if you want to leave the star carving, you must first have to die of the host, and I have fire and time in my body, if they don't trust me and want to take it by force, there is only a dead end waiting for me, and in addition, imagine that if they have the power to kill even something that cannot be seen or touched like a god, it will also be a huge threat to the Xia Kingdom. ”

Zhou Lie said quietly, "Although I don't like my brothers and their mothers, I love my country and love it deeply. ”

"I don't want to be deceived by them all the time, but I don't know what to do, even if I question them in front of them, I'm afraid I will be easily perfunctory. Layla said in frustration.

"If you want to question the other party, you naturally have to stand at the same height as the other party, or in other words, you have chips equal to or even higher than the other party. Zhou Lie waved his finger and said, "Why do you think Alfred and Fried also joined this team?"

"Spying on us?"

"No, Monitor, it's enough to have Randy, in fact, in this team, the three of them are combined, and the strength is below us. ”

"Why is that?"

"I think those two people, I'm afraid they have a handle, or were promised something by Bopolini, so they will appear in this team, and you can also see that although the Empire and Tionlis are in a cooperative relationship, there are also differences, Randy wants to make sure that the Empire has control over Anne, and Kuwait has always refused to budge on this point, and their cooperation is also wary of each other. ”

At this point, Layla understood.

"You mean, we can co-opt the power of the Empire as our bargaining chips?"

"Yes, both sides are lying, but my gut tells me that the root of the problem lies with Tionlis, and the Empire is also wary, and to be honest, they may still be thinking of me and the other two to counterbalance your power in the ranks. ”

"Where am I so powerful? Layla shook her head, she had experienced countless failures in the past six months, but she didn't think Zhou Lie's words were serious.

"Have you forgotten how badly you beat me back then? Zhou Lie smiled bitterly, at that time in the water prison, the memory of being cut by Layla's waterline is now like yesterday.

The ghost blows the lamp
