On the 7th day of the month of May, Ross - Gnolia.

After breakfast in the morning, Xia Ye, Lin Xi, and Natalia did not stay in the town for long.

The main reason was that Lin Xi thought that the town was too backward, there was no food or scenery, and he had to submit a report to the Summoners Association, so the three of them took the car directly to the nearest city where the Summoners Association branch was located - Gnoria.

The so-called Summoners Association is a transnational organization responsible for maintaining the order of summoners, and the time when the association was established is not much different from the time when Libera was founded, and it is evaluated by later generations as an inevitable product of the times.

Before the Summoners Guild was founded, the continent of Alwald was still under the feudalism of the Old Empire.

All powerful summoners are required to serve their own country, and any summoner who makes a contract with another race without the permission of the state is considered a criminal.

After the events of "Traces of Alward", humanity has entered a new era, and summoners can freely choose whether to serve the state (civil servant) after graduation.

However, there are naturally only a few who can be chosen, and the majority of unsettled free summoners will cause a lot of losses and hidden dangers if left alone, so the summoners association came into being.

The main duties of the Association include, but are not limited to, presiding over the Summoner Qualification Examination and Promotion Examination, monitoring and managing the actions of free summoners, groups, and organizations, and punishing and pursuing illegal summoners and their organizations.

The "Council" is held at the headquarters of the Association on a regular basis (even in the event of an emergency), and because the Council is composed of a Speaker and 11 Members, a total of 12 summoners, it is also called the Clock Block!

The main content of the Council is to discuss the important developments in the recent Calling Community and determine the course of action in the near future.

It has a number of branches throughout the Alwald continent, and is equipped with an investigation team and a forced detention unit to carry out arrest missions, as well as a diplomatic BU and logistics department responsible for diplomacy and aftermath respectively.

Compared with the strict management of the state, the summoners association is very free, although the welfare package is not as generous as the state agency, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After booking the hotel, Natalia was responsible for handing over the report written by the three of them in the car to the association branch, and Xia Ye's task was to accompany Lin Xi to eat, drink and have fun while working part-time as a bodyguard.

Originally, he didn't agree with his pursuit of efficiency, but Lin Xi only said that she could be reimbursed with public funds for all the expenses entrusted this time.

In the end, Summer Night did not escape the law of true fragrance after all.

At noon, the two of them, who had been playing all morning, dined at a restaurant.

"Night, what are you doing in a daze?" Lin Xi, who was feasting, stopped what he was doing.

"Isn't it to your liking? You can order whatever you want to eat, and it doesn't cost you anything anyway (referring to reimbursement). ”

By the way, the title of "night night" is mandatory for Lin Xi. Although the summer night did not refuse, after all, good-looking people are always a bit of a privilege.

The summer night was naturally because Natalia asked him to protect Lin Xi before leaving.

Although Xia Ye had asked Natalia why she didn't let him go to the association branch to deliver the report, wouldn't it be more reassuring than the stranger he had just met, Natalia would be in charge of taking care of Lin Xi?

However, Natalia said that it was precisely because of her unauthorized actions that Xia Ye and Lin Xi took over this unpaid commission, so she hoped to use this play as compensation.

However, this is not the case in the eyes of Summer Night, although it is a bit narcissistic to say this, but his intuition tells him that the girl in front of him has a certain kindness, or affection, for him when they first meet.

Therefore, the "mastermind behind the scenes" who proposed this arrangement should be Lin Xi instead of Natalia, just like the purpose of Lin Xi taking the initiative to apply for accompaniment after accepting the commission in the guild during the summer night.

"Actually, I'm thinking about a question." Summer Night decided to test it.

"You seem to be in good hands at Ouroboros!"

Although in terms of cohesion, the Ouroboros has a clear difference from those profit-oriented summoner guilds.

The Guy Guild was founded from the beginning by a group of like-minded summoners, and successive presidents have embraced this philosophy.

Even so, the essence of the Ouroboros is still an intermediary organization, and this commission is neither a mandatory task from the state nor a compulsory commission from the Summoners Association, but rather a "trial" to join the guild on a summer night.

How can such a commission be reimbursed with public funds? In addition, there are various doubts that show that Lin Xi's identity is special.

Hearing Xia Ye's question, Lin Xi was not surprised, but you finally asked this expression: "Actually, it's nothing, although you will know sooner or later, but for the sake of what you once said about your past, I think it's better to tell you in person." ”

"Do you know what I'm called in Ouroboros?"

Summer Night shook her head.

"[Snake Queen], [Ouroboros Daughter], [Princess of the Biting Snake]......"

Lin Xi seemed to be proud and shy.

A lot can be revealed from these titles alone.

"I have to start with my parents, both of whom were born in the Huali Empire and are also orphans."

Together with two other orphans, he was adopted by Ouroboros by chance. At that time, the adopter was nominally the third president, Juppit Burson, who is now the stinky old man.

But as the president of a huge guild and a seat on the clock of the association, how can I have so much time to take care of children, so I ask the other members to take care of them if they are free, which is the so-called eating a hundred family meals to grow up. ”

"My parents grew up together and were typical childhood sweethearts, naturally falling in love and getting married, and then there was me."

Lin Xi was eating caviar while telling her story, and the strange thing was that although she was eating, she could hear every word she said on a summer night.

"I remember that it was when I was about to celebrate my seventh birthday, and in order to celebrate my birthday, they decided to take me on a trip to Huali, and it turned out to be an urgent mission."

"Then the plan had to be postponed, and I naturally disagreed! Because my parents are orphans, they spoil me very much, and I was spoiled and took my bodyguards to Huali alone. ”

Xia Ye calculated the time: "Could it be that you are talking about the 1986 'icebreaking' operation against [Wang Coffin]?" ”

"You know?"

Lin Xi was very surprised, the secrecy level of that operation back then was extremely high, and even the A-level summoner only knew part of the content of the operation.

"Well, it's a coincidence."

Summer nights are casual and after tasting the local vegetable broth, they start to focus on grilled meats and salads.

"I remember that operation seemed to end in failure."

It was precisely because of the failure that the countries and the summoner association decided to block the news in order to consider the social impact, which led to fewer people knowing about it, and the summer night, who had just put the barbecue in his mouth, sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be ......

"That's right, and a big failure. All of the organizations involved in this operation have suffered serious losses, including our Ouroboros. ”

"And as the initiator, organizer and leader of the 'Icebreaker' operation, our guild has lost a total of several A-level summoners and dozens of B-level summoners, and most of the original five S-level summoners have also been sacrificed, and the two who survived are also disabled."

She looked out the window, her amber eyes darkening.

"That includes my parents."
