Chapter 30: Fire and Passion
Seeing that her attacks had no effect, Layla was really panicked this time, and all the attack moves she knew were used, but they were either dodged by the other party, or inexplicably ineffective against the other party, what to do next, she didn't know at all.
"You stop there. Wilson on the side saw the origin of the armor on the other party's body and made a decisive move.
With Wilson's words, the big blue hand appeared out of thin air and slapped straight at Jike, the armor on Jike's body glowed brightly, but it only resisted the blue palm for less than a second, and then it dissipated and dimmed, and the whole person was slapped to the ground dismally.
Wilson lifted the invisibility technique, and his figure appeared to the side, and Jik's fierce face suddenly became frightened when he saw the old magician.
"It seems that you still want to kill my apprentice?" the old man said slowly.
"I, I didn't know it was your disciple. Jike stammered in a stammering tone, facing a well-known magister, Jike couldn't afford to resist at all.
"Hmph, then you should also know who is sitting in that carriage, I guess right, it should be Augustus, you want a military mutiny?"
Jike shook his head again and again and said, "I'm just doing my duty as a crow to eradicate traitors, Augustus's actions in the past few days have clearly betrayed the Empire!" Jike defended himself.
"Oh, what's the proof?"
Jike told him about the idea of raising funds, and the truce about Augustus, the agreement with the other party, and the law of equality became evidence of Augustus's betrayal.
Wilson sighed, looked at Jike with pity, and said, "These are all the intentions of the Prime Minister, even me and I are also under the secret order of your Prime Minister, and I just came to help him by the way, this is not a betrayal." ”
"Impossible, you're lying to me, how could the Prime Minister issue such an order!"
"How can a low-level officer like you know the thoughts of a prime minister, now honestly, waiting for your trial. ”
With the old magician's action, the other Crow soldiers also stopped their attacks, and the reinforcements that Stella sent to ask for also arrived here and began to sweep the streets and release the prisoners.
Seeing Augustus half-dead in the carriage, Wilson, although a little reluctant, pulled out the dagger and did the simplest healing treatment of the wounds on Augustus's body.
"Thank you. Augustus said.
"It's just passing by, if your people are of some use, they won't be like this. ”
Augustus smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Stepping out of the carriage, the old magister saw the two of them still waiting on the side, went over and touched Layla's head, and said, "Don't be discouraged, that card holder can resist most low-level magic, in fact, you can deal with it very well, I can already rest assured that you can set out on the journey alone." ”
With the teacher's encouragement, Layla smiled slightly, then grimaced and said, "Hmph, I'm not so easily depressed, let's go to the bonfire." ”
Wilson shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I'm going to escort Augustus to my house, he was attacked while he was in the square, but don't worry, the bonfire is still going on as usual, but it's not a good thing that he has an accident tonight, so I'm going to escort him for a ride, and the bonfire, dancing is too difficult for my old bones, it's your young business, I won't join in." ”
"Then we'll go. Layla said, taking Stella's hand.
"Go ahead. Wilson waved.
After saying goodbye to the teacher, Layla and Stella set off again with a group of minions.
"Yo. Seeing the two girls walking towards him, Zhou Lie greeted with a smile, and he originally wanted to greet the two, but he didn't expect to see the two of them coming towards him as soon as he left the central square.
"Good evening. The two girls smiled and said hello.
"Guess what happened in the square before you came? Zhou Lie said mysteriously.
"Poof. The two girls laughed in unison when they heard each other's questioning.
"Hmm. Zhou Lie looked at the two little girls with trembling flowers and branches with a puzzled face, thinking what they thought, they actually laughed so hard, did they have something on their faces or did they say that there was something wrong with their questioning?
"I guess there was chaos in the square. Stella said.
"And there are people who want to assassinate the archon Augustus. Layla continued.
"But it's incredible to be able to get back to where we are now. ”
"Eh, how do you know?" Zhou Lie was a little dumbfounded.
"Hehe, since you have stabilized us with a question and we have answered it, then you can think about this question for yourself. Stella grinned and took Layla's hand and walked towards the crowd, finding Zhou Lie standing in place stupidly, and came back to pull Zhou Lie together.
Zhou Lie shrugged, and Stella pulled him, and the three found Ania and Byron, Layla was a little reserved at first, but under Aniah's warm hospitality, the three girls quickly got together.
Under the auspices of Bashir and many officials, the impact of the chaos at that time could no longer be seen in the square, and the surrounding area was in a festive atmosphere, because of the arrival of Stella and Layla, Zhou Lie also joined the dancing army with them.
The bonfire is surrounded by a circle of people, people hold hands, inside and outside in several large circles, around the campfire, around the orchestra playing the designated repertoire,
The flames that burst into the sky were reflected on the faces of the people around her, Stella took Zhou Lie's hand, looked at his side face, fascinated, and stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Lie's side face.
Feeling the soft touch of dragonfly water on his face, Zhou Lie was stunned, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Stella blushing, like a little apple, and the flames in her eyes, I don't know if it was the reflection in the bonfire, or the raging fire in the girl's heart.
Unconsciously, even Zhou Lie didn't notice that he was holding Stella's hand tightly, to say that he didn't know Stella's feelings for him, it was impossible, but because of his identity, Zhou Lie had always been scared, so he had been avoiding responding to the other party's emotions.
"At a young age, why don't you have any passion at all. Frem's voice came out of place.
This frivolous tone made Zhou Lie very angry, "What's your business, you're not human." Then he suddenly realized that the main Frem was still in his mind, wouldn't he see what he was going to do with the girl in the future, although he was not sure if the other party had eyes.
"Yo, it seems to have made you realize that something is not very good. The father's mother's voice was tinged with regret.
"Damn, I'm going to throw you out!"
"I can't leave you unless you die, or the terms of the contract are met, and don't forget that you and I have a contract!"
"Damn!"
Hearing Frem's words, Zhou Lie's face became very ugly, and in the end, he didn't realize when the dance was over, and he didn't notice why Stella's face became a little depressed.
"Do you know your face is ugly? Byron reminded softly.
At this moment, Zhou Lie reacted, his face became too serious and hideous because of the quarrel with Frem, and this face lasted until the end of the dance, and he didn't realize it from beginning to end, this kind of face naturally has another meaning in Stella's eyes.
The end of the bonfire dance means that the banquet is coming to an end, and the boys and girls who have finished dancing gather around the wine table in twos and threes, chatting.
After Stella saw Zhou Lie's expression, her mood fell to the bottom, she thought that she had done something wrong, yes, the other party could not stay here in the future at a glance, and Aniah, whose father was an earl, could follow him every day and deal with the aftermath for him, how could it be an ordinary person, Stella was more or less aware of it in her heart.
I made trouble for Zhou Lie by doing this, I was going to be hated, my behavior was probably inappropriate in Zhou Lie's eyes, thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but become sour, and I drank tastelessly.
Then she saw Zhou Lie looking at her with a solemn expression, and then walked towards her.
In a panic, Stella turned her eyes away, not wanting to see the other person's eyes, which would make her feel deeply guilty.
Zhou Lie stretched out his hand and grabbed Stella's right hand.
Stella's body trembled slightly, and she turned her head, her eyes were full of nervousness, like a child who had done something wrong, she didn't dare to look up at Zhou Lie's face, but just lowered her head and looked at her toes, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.
Seeing this scene, Ania quietly pulled Layla aside, leaving space for the two to be alone.
"I'm very happy. Zhou Lie had been brewing for a long time, but after facing Stella, he forgot all the words.
Stella raised her head in disbelief when she heard this, and a hint of hope appeared in her originally sad eyes.
"I'll forget what I said if I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong, in fact, I'm willing to accept your feelings if possible. Although he considered the words, Zhou Lie still seemed incoherent when he spoke.
Before Zhou Lie could say the second half of the sentence, Stella couldn't help it, stood on tiptoe, and her soft lips blocked Zhou Lie's mouth, Zhou Lie was stunned, feeling the girl's fiery lips, holding Stella's waist with both hands, and responding jerkily.
Maybe it's just a few seconds, but for the two of them, it seems that a lifetime has passed, and when the two are separated again, there is no sadness in the eyes of Death Allah.
"I know you're not an ordinary rich kid, you should be some powerful nobleman in the East. ”
Zhou Lie nodded, "I'm not free, so I'm scared and can't promise you anything." ”
Stella put her right hand on Zhou Lie's right chest, felt the other party's heartbeat, and said, "I'm very happy if you want to think like this, you say, will there be an obstacle between us?"
Zhou Lie nodded, whether it was the danger that his identity as a prince might bring, or the Frem in his body, this was not something he could easily solve now.
"After obtaining the title of Magister, I can leave the family, and I can go anywhere when the time comes. Stella raised her head and said seriously, "Five years, five years, when the time comes, we will overcome that obstacle together."
"It's not easy. Zhou Lie said bitterly, "That's a huge obstacle beyond imagination, and I can't even see a corner of it now." ”
"I believe in you. This time, it was Stella's turn to take Zhou Lie's right hand, "So make an appointment with me?"
"Even if we encounter all kinds of unimaginable threats in the future. ”
"Even the most sinister of men are enemies. ”
"Okay, I promise you, in five years, I'll pick you up!"
Under the bonfire, the shadows of the two overlapped again, unwilling to separate for a long time.
