Chapter 50: Reunion and Counseling
"Siluβ"
In the dazzling light curtain, a vague figure was just reflected, and Luo Silian was impatient to say the name of the only person she cared about in her heart now.
She stepped forward eagerly, clinging to the glass wall, her eyes staring at the doorway, the top of her head involuntarily conjured into curled tentacles, her eyes gradually turning into ant-like red and hard appearance, and dense and fine hairs appeared on her arms, and the dehumanization features became more and more obvious.
In this world that broke her heart, in addition to her deceased parents, only this person who gave herself a little warmth in her childhood was the reason for her to wake up.
At the same time, as the more and more blurred appearance of her parents in her memory, she constantly wanted to hold on to what she had now, otherwise she would return to the time of being alone in the end......
β... What..."
Xilu, who followed Song Jing into the laboratory, looked at the figure trapped in the glass cover in a distracted manner, even the alienated appearance was so familiar, and the long-ago memories began to flip.
When she was not sensible, she was the sister she admired the most, she stood up when she was bullied by boys, she was a sister like an older brother, full of responsibility, and always took care of herself.
As children, they spent the whole day playing together in places like forests and rivers, collecting things to show off.
But because her parents quarrel over her background every day, she compares herself to a goblin abandoned in the world - Pigav, although in that story, Pigav is just a human child with the same red eyes as the goblin, the boy abandoned by the human world and the goblin world.
On a rainy night, she came to her window with bare feet and a small lamp, shouting that she was going to the land of fairies, and after walking in the rain overnight, she never appeared in front of her again, and with her parents, who also disappeared with her, everyone in the village was silent about it, and gradually Xilu could only bury this memory in the bottom of her heart.
β... Is it my sister? β
Xilu's eyes gradually reddened, and her hands couldn't help but let go of her skirt, and there was an unbelievable feeling.
"It's ββ! me"
Luo Silian immediately responded to Xilu's cry, her hands couldn't help but tap the glass, and the sudden reflection made her notice the changes in her body, and began to look at her alienated body in a panic.
β... Sister Luo Silian?! β
Xilu stared at Luo Silian's face tightly with tears in her eyes, and suddenly looked at Song Jing standing on the side as if she had some scruples.
Of course, Song Jing wouldn't be the one to disturb the atmosphere, he smiled gently, stretched out his right hand and swung it halfway towards Luo Silian, signaling for Xilu to reunite with his playmate.
'It seems that the situation is not bad, and it should be possible to make a solicitation request'
Suddenly, Xilu, who was shining with tears, smiled happily, looked at Luo Silian, who was still at a loss for her body, and staggered forward, gradually accelerating to pounce on the glass.
Luo Silian noticed the sudden impact, raised her head suddenly, and saw Xilu, who lowered her head and burst into tears, tears filled her eyes, and she couldn't help but slide over her delicate face, and she shouted with trembling in her mouth, "Sister-"
"Where have you beenβ"
"Why can't I find you-"
"How did you become like this?"
Luo Silian's heart suddenly became sour, most of the insect features on her body slowly changed back to their original shape, and the pupils that changed back to human appearance shed tears, and she excitedly continued to respond to Xilu's shouts, "Xilu, don't be afraid-"
"Don't be afraid - I'm just looking for the goblins"
"Just went a long way awayβ"
The two girls couldn't help themselves with excitement through the thick transparent glass cover, tears kept flowing on their faces, splashing on the glass from time to time, and layers of mist spread.
.....................
Happy times are always short-lived, as the reincarnators prepare to negotiate with Luo Silian, and soon after, when the time for the two to get together as childhood playmates is over, Huang Shurong sends the reluctant Xilu to the door and asks the carriage to take her back to the castle.
"I heard that you have been hunting the Apostles, this should be the Earl's domain, then he should be dead, what do you want me to do?! But don't think that I'm going to promise you everything."
When Huang Shurong closed the door, Luo Silian regained her previous demeanor as a fairy queen, took the lead, and said coldly to the two reincarnators in front of her.
She had been keenly aware of the scenery outside the door and aware of where she was, and as an apostle who could soar into the sky, it was only natural that she knew the Count.
Song Jing and Huang Shurong glanced at each other, as if they had expected Luo Silian's transformation, no one would have a good face for the person who almost killed him, but the tears that had not dried up made them feel a little disobedient.
Huang Shurong moved the sofa lightly and laid it horizontally facing Luo Silian in the glass cover, and Song Jing sat down with Huang Shurong while talking.
"Alright! Let's not talk nonsense, after all, there are still a lot of things I want you to do."
"Yes"
Luo Silian flapped her wide wings, her petite body slowly retreated in the air, her legs crossed and folded, and she sat on the hospital bed behind her, her hands crossed in front of her chest, as a gesture of respect.
Song Jing leaned back on the sofa and said with a serious face:
"First of all, cooperate with us to obtain a Behlet again, and crusade against the Apostles!"
Hearing this, Luo Silian immediately lowered her face and responded with an ugly face:
"No, I can give you information about Behelet, but if I help you get Behelet or crusade against the Apostles, it is impossible!"
She stretched out her right palm with her index finger flexed and gestured to Song Jing and them.
"Being able to live until now, it means that they are quite tolerant of your behavior, you have not touched their bottom line, not to mention that you also know, they are absolutely above the rulers of our apostles, although they indulge us to cause chaos in the world, and even kill each other, but if you actually help mankind to kill the apostles, then you have to bear their wrath, this is the way to die"
It seems that the Hand of God has a strong grip on the lower apostles, and Lotlian is not free from control like the Emperor of Terror, or the Emperor of God is free of control as Griffith would like... Song Jing nodded, knowing Luo Silian's difficulty, and accepting her just by providing information, and then continued:
"Yes, that second request. Protect the territory and try to defend it against the attacks of the apostles and mortal wars. β
Luo Silian's eyes narrowed, and she asked rhetorically, "I want to know, the reason why you are doing this, if it is a request to protect everyone in the city, then I can't do it, what really cares about me here is only Xilu." β
Song Jing pondered for a moment, took out a white glove from his pocket and put it on his right hand, the glove was tattooed with a concentric circle, the upper part had a cluster of flame-shaped patterns, and the bottom was a creeping lizard pattern, with two opposing triangles in the center, and a small triangle in the center pointing to the upper flame pattern.
He snapped his fingers crisply, and a small cluster of orange-yellow flames suddenly appeared, hovering above his thumb like the flame of a lighter, and responded:
"I want to leave this legacy behind, so I need you to protect this place while my apprentices are still weak."
Luo Silian stared at the flames on her fingers, and suddenly remembered Xi Lu's attitude towards Song Jing and the change in her spirit, and asked out loud:
"Magic? That, Silu is also learning this."
Song Jing nodded slowly and said, "You can think of this as a kind of magic, and Xilu does have some talent, and now he is indeed my disciple, practicing here with me."
Luo Silian didn't agree immediately, and pointed her right hand at the Han Sword on the table next to the two of them, and asked, "With your strength, you should be able to protect them, right?" Why should you please me? β
"And I'm not going to help you open up your territory!"
Song Jing mysteriously raised the corners of his mouth, and at the same time understood the meaning of Luo Silian's words, shook his head and said, "We will not let you participate in the war between humans, the reason why we want you to protect is because there will always be a time when we will leave in the future, and at that time, my group will leave this territory, and maybe never come back."
"That's it, since you can't help us in the apostle's affairs, then you can settle in the territory and secretly guard some important people, and I will introduce you to you later, after all, Xilu will live here from now on, and those are also her future companions."
Luo Silian replied with an "um", "Yes, anyway, for me, as long as it is not the hand of God himself, the other apostles are not a threat to me."
Song Jing waved his gloves and dispersed the flames, "Then the last request, the rest, I don't think you will agree again, this request is..."
"Help you explore the Netherworld?!"
Luo Silian showed a surprised look, she was unexpectedly surprised by Song Jing's words, she said in surprise, "Do you know what kind of place the Netherworld is?" β
"They dwell in the depths of the Netherworld, where they control it."
"Let's not say that you don't know the junction between the Netherworld and reality and the rituals arranged, as long as you are watched by them, don't think about exploring the Netherworld!"
Song Jing said calmly, "Does that mean it's not okay?" β
"Of course!" Luo Silian immediately retorted resolutely, leaving no hope for Song Jing, she sighed, "They are God's agents, who in this world can compete with them!" β
"Alright, that's it!"
Song Jing said, but suddenly paused, and said with a serious expression, "The last restriction, as an apostle who has returned to human society, you can no longer transform bee beasts in the future, and the transformed insect beasts must also obey our requirements, and at the same time try to obey our orders, then as a reward for trust, as long as it does not endanger humans, we can release you immediately, and we will no longer restrict your freedom in the territory!" β
Luo Silian got out of the hospital bed, standing in front of the two of them openly, the wings on the back of her head were as soft as hair on the hospital bed, she stared at Song Jing's eyes tightly, then nodded slowly, and said seriously:
"I... Will try to live like a human being"
Song Jing nodded steadily at the clear eyes of the Fairy Apostle's human-like appearance, and thought in his heart: "Then this matter is completed, I hope that Monte and their operation this time will go well, so that whether it is the task of crusading against the B-class Apostle, or waiting for the end of the Golden Age Chapter after completing the task, there will be a fairly safe rear, and there is also a visit to the witch Flora..."
............
At the same time, Balidanis.
The city is located in the west of the Kingdom of Midland, adjacent to the sea, there is a port with the highest throughput in the Circle of the Prince's Hall, thousands of miles away, prosperous commerce, is famous and second to none commercial city.
And what the reincarnators care about the most is that there is a famous family here - the annex of the Bandimeo family, this family's main family is in the holy capital where the Dharma King's Hall is located, and it is a top famous family, and its wealth is rivaled by the country.
Because of Balidanis' thriving and vibrant business scene, every year the heads of Bandimeo come from the Holy Capital to live here for a long time, to make decisions and deal with the affairs of this area.
At this time, Monte and Alexander sat in an ornate carriage with a golden griffin pattern, led by a wagon loaded with goods, and drove through the crowded streets, on their way to the Bandimeo house.
Different from their previous attire in the territory and in battle, both of them were dressed in the ornate and elaborate aristocratic costumes of the era, with a red slim coat covered with gold lace on the upper body, a white satin collar around the neck, tight white stockings on the lower body, and black boots on their feet.
"It's so troublesome, I would have known that Dahl would have come over and let him negotiate!"
Alexander was a little uncomfortable with this kind of dress, and when he sat down, he leaned forward, pulled his collar loose with his right hand, and said in annoyance.
"Just bear with it, it's just a negotiation, anyway, the deal after that, just leave it to Dahl or Wendy"
Monte said as he looked through the gap in the small curtains at the changing scenery of the street outside, the pedestrians dressed in the same gray and plain attire as ever, but the faces of the people of this port city were more vibrant than in other places.
In a short time, two carriages drove through the sparsely populated aristocratic residential area, and even if there was a figure outside, it was a nobleman who led a few servants and rode by on sturdy horses.
The carriage soon drove through the high fenced streets to the imposing gates of the Bandimeo family, and as they had been informed of it, the guards on both sides did not hinder it, allowing it to sail straight through the wide courtyard to the grand mansion.
Monte and Alexander got off one after another, and the butler of the Bandiemeo family lined up with three servants early, waiting next to the carriage, he saw the two coming down, immediately bowed slightly, and then turned around, his right hand led to the gorgeous gate on the three curved steps behind, and said respectfully, "Lord Monte, Lord Alexander, welcome to Banemeo, the two of you are waiting inside!" β
"It's an honor to visit the glorious Bandymeo!"
Monte smiled and said, he didn't come out to greet or care about the head of the BandiemΓ³ family, the Banemeol family, which could influence the decision-making of the French Royal Hall in the church era, was a behemoth that every king hoped to win over and befriend.
And the essence is that the two knights recruited by the little countess can visit, and the reason why they can visit is due to the gifts they have submitted before. Soap and glass mirrors, in this era, these unprecedented inventions can generate a huge amount of wealth, enough to shake the current commercial market, and even cause all parties to wage war to compete for their interests, which the small county can not afford now, so it is necessary to find a powerful partner in this era to escort it, and the Bandiemor family is such an existence. Of course, for the reincarnation, there is also the factor of the youngest daughter of the Bandimeo family, Farnase, in the original book, she and her attendant Serpegao follow the protagonist Gus on an adventure together, if there is a change in the plot, so as to get a reward, it can be regarded as a surprise.
"The back is a sample of this negotiation, please bring it later."
Monte said, pointing to the tightly hidden cargo in the carriage that had just followed.
The butler, who had already prepared, turned his head sideways and ordered the servants next to him, and the few people immediately stepped forward to unload the goods, and then the butler led the two to walk inside.
Walking through the imposing gate and the lavishly decorated corridor, several people arrived at the open reception room, where an old man in a loose satin jacket sat on a sofa, looking sideways at the sky outside the window, and a valet stood beside him.
Monte raised the corners of his mouth at the sight of this formation, because if the head of Bandimeo hadn't cared too much about the business, he wouldn't have waited here at all, but would only wait for the two of them to sit down, and then he would come slowly, but if anyone thought of this epoch-making thing, it would be like this.
As if sensing the arrival, the old man turned his head, revealing a rather emaciated face, because he was in a high position all the year round, his temperament was majestic and solemn, his neck-length wavy hair, and the upper part of his lips and chin were covered with thick wavy beards, he saw the beards of the two of them moving lightly to both sides, showed a gentle smile, and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me for not being able to greet the two knights in person, please take a seat!"
Monte and the two sat on the sofa on the right with their backs to the window, and the old man, who was the head of Bandimeol, could easily know the difference between the two according to the previous greetings, and nodded to Monte and Alexander.
"I'm the head of Bandimeol, Federico du Bandimeo III, and I'm honored to know both, I think this is Monte, and this knight is Alexander."
