"This is a precious treasure of our family, even if it has now lost its original meaning...... You said you were going to give it to me so easily, I don't know how to do it. ”

She gently rubbed Natsu's back with her fingers, and you could feel the care and pampering of her movements.

"She can't seem to see that I'm lying...... Isn't it a bit inappropriate to lie to her like this? ”

"But I certainly can't tell her where I really came from, let alone whether it will have some unforeseen consequences...... It's cruel to tell someone that you're actually just an imaginary being. ”

Xia hesitated, but still didn't tell the truth.

"Then I'll take the gift."

Mireyer picked up the Mirror of Truth with two fingers and placed it directly above the Codex.

Xia had a very high perspective at this time, and saw that there were many hollows of different shapes on it, and the diamond-shaped appearance of the Mirror of Truth could be embedded in one of them.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of shaking outside the tower.

You can feel the entire tower shaking slightly, and you can imagine how amazing this movement is that this huge tower can be said to be already a mountain made of metal, and it can still be affected to such an extent.

"Otvia...... Our King feels the return of the holy relics. ”

The giantess turned her head into the distance and whispered:

"If it had been before, you would be entitled to make a claim to the king simply because you had returned the Mirror of Truth; But it hates humanity now, otherwise I would have taken you to meet it. ”

"The magicians of Faense are just a bunch of despicable thieves!"

Mireyer's voice was full of hatred:

"Not only have they deceived our trust, taking advantage of our friendliness to enter the forbidden land guarded by the giants, but they have also stolen the treasures of the Codex; If it weren't for the king's timely detection of their tricks, you probably wouldn't have seen me by now. ”

"Can't see you? Why. ”

Natsu couldn't help but ask, hugging her neck.

"We have many enemies of the giants. Summer. ”

Mireyer replied with a little sadness:

"We have been given the mission of protecting the earth and the sky by the true gods, and the ancient giant, Saya, once destroyed the entire world in his anger; Spirits and other creatures alike have a hatred for us in the depths of their souls. ”

"It's okay if they are just ignorant and unknown, once they go beyond the limits of the species and open up the memories left by the ancients, none of them will be hostile to the giants."

She rubbed her face against the silver-haired girl's body: "I have lost the protection of the City of Stars. Without the source of the giants' power, even if the power of the king and I is strong, we will be destroyed by a large number of strong men, and no one will be able to help us except the true gods. ”

As soon as the word true god came out of the giantess's mouth, Xia was immediately stunned.

In fact, she is more concerned about the main quest than the matter of confirming whether this is the earth, because only with enough strength can it be possible to do something that seems impossible.

For example. Go home......

If the giantess hadn't reminded her not to ask questions beyond the level, otherwise the consequences would have been terrible, otherwise she would have asked a long time ago.

But she heard the news of the true God from Mireyer, and she could not endure it any longer.

――If you ask about the Codex, you will be shocked to death, so it should be okay to ask Mireyer, who has a crush on you, right?

"Mireyer, have you ever seen the true God?"

Her own heart had never beaten so fast.

"How is that possible?"

The giantess shook her head slightly:

"When I was born, the Giants were no longer the strong they used to be, and had long since gone into decay; It is because we have lost the teachings of the true God. ”

"Because I want to atone for my sins. Our King, Otvia, has decided to open the gates of the City of Stars to all the intelligent beings of the world. Inviting the more gentle gods to settle in, Ortvia not only imparted truth and knowledge, but also promised to give them the treasures of the City of Stars if they made a certain contribution. ”

"Originally, it was just a generous gift, who would have thought that...... Instead, it attracted countless robbers and thieves who spied on the power of giants. ”

She led Natsu to the edge of the top of the tower, carefully protecting her. Don't let her be blown away by the wind from above.

A shining starry sky appeared in front of the two of them, and the dark sky was full of beautiful and mysterious points of light, like eyes, looking at them blinkingly.

Below, a half-destroyed circular city is revealed, and from here you can see that there is no end to the darkness outside. There is no way to know what is there.

"I always feel ...... It's a bit like the universe. ”

The silver-haired girl grabbed the giantess's fingers and looked down at the scenery on tiptoe, a thought welling up in her heart.

"Can you take me to the edge of the city?"

She asked, turning to Mireyer.

"Absolutely."

The giantess gladly agreed, took out her harp and played a piece of music.

As the melodic sounded, pale yellow wings of light reached out from behind her, flapping and flying away with her and the silver-haired girl.

The city was enveloped in a looming curtain of light that Natsu felt similar to the Divine Barrier that protected Faennes, but based on her current knowledge, she couldn't say which one was stronger.

Anyway, if she was allowed to attack, it would definitely not cause any effect, after all, this was a means of defense that could block the bombardment of the gods.

"The divine barrier of the Faense Continent does not have the power to isolate space."

"I don't know how to protect the city of stars...... Will it be pierced by space magic and teleportation talents? ”

As she flew through the air, she thought to herself about the difference between the two defensive barriers, but when she reached the edge of the city, she couldn't think about it anymore.

"Earth!"

She covered her mouth to keep herself from screaming.

An immensely spectacular blue planet appeared beneath the city, almost identical in appearance to the one she remembered.

The reason for saying "almost" is that, as she saw on the teleportation circle, the positions of the continents on this planet are different from those of the earth, and the second largest continent - Africa, which accounts for 20.2% of the world's total land area.

Originally, the African continent was connected to Asia, but after the Suez Canal was dug, the two connected continents had a clear dividing line.

But they are not far apart, what is the force that makes the entire African continent disappear, while the Asian continent is so close to it that remains the same? (To be continued.) )
