Beginning of the 36th and covenant years, the man
On the 9th day of the month of Summer, Gnolia.
Snow Raven and his party are temporarily detained in the detention center of the Summoners Guild Branch, awaiting their verdict from above.
Xue Li, who was wearing a prison uniform, lay alone on the bed looking at the pure white ceiling, quietly in a daze.
Suddenly, a guard stood outside and knocked on a special railing. Shouted inside, "Hey! Number 2331 up, there is a prison visit. β
Visits? Who?
On the way to the prison room, Xue Li kept thinking about this question: Who will come to see him?
Kindred?
The word alone made him feel funny.
Friends?
All the beings who can be called friends, including loyal subordinates, are locked up next door to him.
A figure was denied by Xue Li as soon as he came to mind, and he knew that the man would never appear here.
Because a matter that requires a little process is too much trouble for that person, in other words, in the eyes of that man, Xue Li is not even worth letting him waste this little bit of time.
Thinking like this, he had unconsciously walked to the meeting room, and Xue Li also saw the visitor.
Brown shoulder-length hair, amber eyes, a pretty face, and a nearly colorless two-winged bitcher on the back of his left hand.
Xue Li recognized her as one of the two female summoners who had previously traveled with Summer Night.
The guard next to him opened the handcuffs for Xue Li, and then left the meeting room.
The reason for this reassurance is that the meeting room is a sealing barrier, where prisoners cannot open any summoning doors.
As for contracts such as blessings and protections, there were summoners who were good at sealing them long before they were taken into custody.
"This should be the second time we've met."
The pleasant sound passes through the glass-like barrier and spreads through the air.
"Remember me? It's a summoner who belongs to the Ouroboros like Ye and Crow, you can call me Lin Xi. β
Xue Li turned her wrist, then sat down and nodded.
Oh, and then what?
The look on his face said.
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the recorder standing on her side, and the recorder nodded to Lin Xi and left the visiting room.
"Alright, now it's just the two of us."
Lin Xi sat opposite Xue Li across the barrier, his amber eyes reflecting that slightly neutral face.
"Let's have a good chat!"

"Once upon a time, in a small village in the Huali Empire, there was a slightly more beautiful innocent woman.
She is not satisfied with the short-sightedness of the people around her and the backwardness of the environment, and yearns for the life of the big city outside. Later, she eloped with a Russian from the Sloy Alliance. β
"A few years later, the woman returned to her hometown alone with a little boy about eight years old."
"The boy is a mixture of Yanhuang and Tsarist Russians, although at that time mixed races were not uncommon in the Alwald continent, but in that remote and backward village, they were as rare as monsters."
-- Dividing line --
"Hahaha! White-haired monster, take it! β
"Cry, cry! This guy is crying again! β
"Not ashamed, like a girl!"
ββ¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"-It's noisy!"
As a slightly irritated voice sounded, the ridicule of the people around him seemed to be completely drained of the air, leaving only the continuous sobbing sound.
-- Dividing line --
"That was his first encounter with him, and the boy who opened his mouth was the genius of children, the 'child of someone else' in the mouth of parents, and the Wenqu star in the sky...... and the benefactor of mother and son, the hero of the half-breed. β
"The deceived and abandoned woman and her mixed-race son, with the help of that child, found a place in that backward village and were no longer excluded from the crowd."
"At that time, the half-breed swore in his heart that he would repay his kindness, longing to follow in his footsteps and hope that he would continue to shine like a 'hero'. That's how it should have be......"
-- Dividing line --
Alwald calendar 1986, the moon of twilight.
On that day, the genius turned into a madman!
He was once praised as the reincarnation of the Disaster Star, but he is still a "hero"!
Even if it's just a half-breed who thinks so.
-- Dividing line --
"When that happened, guess what happened to that half-breed? Hahaha! He turned out to be, unexpectedly ...... I'm scared! β
"That bastard was so foul-mouthed that he was scared, just like those stupid villagers, afraid of the "vision of heaven and earth" that person had brought."
"That *Yan Huang foul-mouthed* doesn't think about who saved him! And who treats it as a human being and not a little mongrel! β
But on that day he was... That coward dared to abandon the hero who saved him! β
-- Dividing line --
Fear!
Of course, it is strange for ignorant villagers and naΓ―ve children to see such a picture and not be afraid.
All the survivors, including the half-breed, were afraid of the boy, who was less than ten years old, even the boy's biological parents.
When the boy noticed this, the childish face showed an expression that was completely out of this ageβ
Ridiculous taunts and ...... Sadness.
"Ahhh~ Forget it! I'm getting tired of playing at home or something. β
The boy left such a sentence, dragging his tired body and preparing to leave the village.
People have various reactions when faced with fear: struggle, resistance, flight, acceptance of reality...... And some villagers inevitably have this kind of thought.
Kill him! γ
He must be killed! γ
Kill this little monster before he grows up! γ
That's right, even a monster is a child...... γ
It's still easy to kill a small child! γ
By the time these thoughts came to mind, some villagers had already picked up a "murder weapon" that was enough to kill people and approached the boy, with strong fear and murderous intent in their eyes.
When the boy found himself surrounded, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't know whether it was fear or anger.
At this moment, a pair of dark golden snake eyes appeared behind him.
Ancient, solemn, and noble......
Anyone who dared to set his eyes on the boy could not escape the gaze of those snake eyes.
Just being here shows a truth.
You should bow down!
"Bang dang!"
The "murder weapon" in his hand fell, and all the people with evil intentions knelt down, their heads on the ground, eager to bury them in the soil, and begged for forgiveness.
No one dared to cry out for mercy, and everyone's intuition told them that there was only one end for them to open their mouths.
Die!
Ignoring those who knelt down, like humans who don't care about ants under their feet, he limped on.
Boy... No, the back of the young man who left was as arrogant as the king.
-- Dividing line --
Later, the half-breed kept thinking if he could hold him or leave with him...... No, in fact, the half-breeds also understand that it is impossible.
So he swore that if God gave him another chance, he would never make the same mistake twice. β
"That half-breed has been thinking like this for nearly ten years, and even if he becomes a leader, he is just following the figure of that person!"
"Until one day he finally met that person again at the border, and the former hero turned out to be as down-and-out as a lost dog, which that half-breed must not allow."
"The half-breed thought that the man had been trapped eleven years ago that day, and that encounter was the opportunity that fate had given him, and it turned out to be ......
In the end, the half-breed didn't manage to do anything! Whether it's atonement or retribution, nothing has been done......"
