Chapter 631 The Hypothesis of Failure
β¦β¦ I also wanted to try what it was like to live with a goddess.
Someone thought in his heart without restraint:
"But on the outside, we seem to be a little closer...... It's an illusory world again, so forget it. β
"But then again, am I strong?"
Thinking about what the other party said just now, she was a little confused, so the silver-haired girl didn't answer the other party's question immediately, and her face kept changing.
Against the backdrop of her beauty, this expression does not look suspicious, but makes people feel that there is something unspeakable.
"I don't think you're afraid of me, why do you look so hesitant."
Xue Qian raised her face and asked:
"You can ask for it yourself, even if it's rude, and I'm here to forgive you."
ββ¦β¦ Please wait a little longer. β
Xia replied sweating profusely.
She's not bothered about making a request, she's waiting for a hint!
"Hell yes."
She floated there and wondered secretly:
"It's all done here, why hasn't the system moved yet?"
"Irene, what are you going to do?"
The red-haired goddess didn't care, the more she looked at this little Lori now, the more she loved it, and began to tease each other on the side, hooking Erin's small chin with one finger, as if caressing a docile kitten.
"I'll do more!"
Erin squinted her eyes and replied:
"I'll steal stealthily, detect terrain and monsters, and help my master fight......"
"Stealing? That's not good. β
Xue Qian frowned and said:
"In the future, I can give you whatever you want, if not, we will grab it; There is no need to steal, it is the behavior of cowards. β
Hearing this, Xia felt a little sour in his heart:
-- This is the domineering spirit of being a mainland god!
Replace it with your own words. If you want something, you must act carefully and carefully, and plan it, and finally it is possible to succeed.
One of the most representative examples is the eight God Fragments in the main quest.
"Forget it, don't wait."
After waiting for a while, the system still didn't respond. She gave up waiting and said to Xue Qian:
"My request is - I hope you can help me get a little girl to Faenns."
She moved a little closer to the red-haired goddess and whispered to her:
"Now the land is full of crises, and a war of great scale is about to begin; I don't know which side you belong to, but this kid is innocent...... She didn't do anything bad, I just wanted her to return to her hometown safely. β
"After leaving this continent, my strength will be affected to a certain extent."
Xue Qian put down the hand that teased Erin, revealing a contemplative expression:
"But if you just send her to the beach, it shouldn't be a problem. If you're going to send me somewhere else in Faenns, then all I can say is sorry, because it's forbidden for us. β
Speaking of this, she raised her head and said proudly:
"I don't belong on either side...... But my territory is in the east, and whoever enters my territory without permission will be my enemy. β
"Poor Xuexi."
Natsu couldn't help but come to her side and stretched out his arms to hug her.
The scorching fire was firmly held out by absolute defense. did not erode her body; Xue Qian obviously didn't expect that there would be another person who could approach her unharmed, so she just stayed for a moment. Her affection for the silver-haired girl made her not attack.
"Be sure to remember my words."
Xia let go of her and looked at her fiery eyes with a solemn face:
"If you meet a woman with many black wings on her back, you must find a way to avoid her! Otherwise, she will be your nightmare for the rest of the world. β
Someone seemed to have forgotten that this was just an illusory world, and when she thought of the tragic fate of Xue Qian being robbed of her power in the future, she couldn't help but want to give a reminder.
"Are you prophesying at me?"
Xue Qian obviously misunderstood what she meant, and looked at her with a new eye for a while:
"You're strong though. But it seems that it is still at the level of physical combat, and I didn't expect it to have the power to see through the future...... This is also a very rare ability in the City of Stars. β
"I'll remember your reminder, strange girl."
She stretched out a hand and grabbed one of Natsu's fingers, which was a sign of approval of the other party. The action is very cute:
"Tell me where she is, I don't like to procrastinate."
"She's ......"
Xia described in detail where everyone was hiding, and then gave an additional instruction:
"You don't talk to anyone, just take her away; Of course, if there are people with bad intentions who want to work against her......"
"If that happens, I'll take a shot."
Xue Qian nodded, and her long red wavy hair gently brushed her shoulders:
"The commission I accepted was to bring her back safely, and if someone wanted to threaten her life, I would naturally not leave it alone."
"Wow! It's so fast. β
This flame goddess is also a flaming character, Erin was held in her arms and flew straight into the sky, rushing towards the depths of the continent, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small red dot.
"The state of the God Fragment is closely related to my strength, I can't go back now, otherwise Xue Qian will definitely come back to trouble me when she finds out that Erin has disappeared."
So Xia found a comfortable and wide reef and sat down, and sent a soul message to the lich, telling him what happened here, and telling him not to conflict with Xuexi, and let the other party take Bellerell.
"Icy Water Streak!"
Then she waved her hand and sent a mid-level ice magic into the sea, freezing the surface of the nearby sea.
"Let me see...... There's a lot of good stuff here. β
The silver-haired girl walked on the ice, looking down for the fish and edible seafood under the ice, and after a while, she took a fancy to a big fish covered in fiery red.
The fish has long lip whiskers, somewhat similar to the river carp on Earth, but with a narrower body. The eyes are also very small; It is believed that there is a sea fish called "Quitgang" on the side of Faenns, and it is very delicious.
"Tom!"
Natsu stomped on the thick ice with his foot.
After an explosion, the area where the big fish was frozen immediately shattered, and the frozen body of the fish jumped out of the sea and fell into her hands.
"Smack"
The silver-haired girl easily smashed the ice cube with her hand, and a red light emitted from the bracelet. Wrapped the struggling fish in flames.
"Let go of me-!"
When the fish entered her stomach, there was an annoyed sound in the air.
Xia looked up and found that Xue Qian had flown from the beach with a cage in her hand.
The cage was made of glittering metal with a chain attached to the top, and in order to keep the little girl from being burned by the fire, Xue Qian adopted this relatively safe method of transportation.
"The air currents at sea are so violent, and the air is so cold...... It's not okay to send her back like this. β
Natsu looked at the windy cage and hurriedly spread his wings and flew up, freeing Bellerier from the iron cage.
"You're delaying my time."
Xue Qian looked a little unhappy:
"I finally came up with this solution......
"Sister! Woo-woo-"
Bellerier cried and pounced. Lying in Xia's arms and sobbing.
"I'm sorry for the forced way."
Natsu touched her hair, and asked Erin to take out a coat inlaid with magic runes from her skirt, and a lot of delicious food, and then put the coat on Belleriel, which was piled up in the cage, and whispered:
"This place is about to be plunged into war, and it can be said that no place is safe...... Can you see what I mean? β
Bellerier cried for a while. Wiping her tears from her eyes, she lifted her head from her arms.
"Can I put Dolinda and Zero...... And Evelyn to bring back with you? β
The little princess of the empire pleaded pitifully:
"I told them that I would take them to the imperial capital as guests...... And show them the magic puppets I made......"
"It's impossible...... Bellerier. β
Natsu caressed her face. Whisper to:
"You're a smart and good boy, you should have discovered the clues when you talked to them a few times, in fact, they and I don't belong here, and sooner or later we will have to leave this world."
"-I don't believe it! You must be lying to me! β
The princess of Bellerel lost her temper again, and cried out loudly:
"How is it possible to have someone who can travel through time and space? Even the thirteen Dharma God Masters don't have this kind of power! β
"We are not free to move, but have been sent here by some great being that cannot be disobeyed."
Natsu still decided not to tell her the brutal truth. And the choice lied:
"Whether to come, or to leave; None of us had any room for resistance, so ......"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Bellerier covered his ears and shook his head desperately.
"Get some good sleep."
Natsu kissed her gently. He put his mouth in her ear and said.
Then he reached out his finger and tapped it on the top of her head.
The little princess's voice gradually weakened, her eyelids slowly closed, her body shook twice, and she fell into Xia's arms.
"Three days."
Before leaving, Xue Qian said to her:
"I can send her back to the Faense continent in three days, and as for how she will return home after that, it doesn't belong to the agreement between me and you, understand?"
"Understood, thank you for your hard work."
Xia nodded, not objecting.
Baleriel's return home on the continent of Faennes is the time of the Magic Calendar when the Harlem Empire was at its strongest; At this time on the shore, the dock ...... Any place where it was possible to go to sea was firmly controlled by the imperial army, and the little princess would be best protected as soon as she appeared.
"Xue Qian is a god, there must be no problem in dealing with ordinary soldiers, this matter can be regarded as a happy ending."
She stretched, patted her bulging belly, and leaned over the reef to lay down, ready to close her eyes and rest.
As long as her strength does not weaken, Erin will be able to maintain a normal state in this world, so now she can't leave the seaside.
"Three days...... That's amazing. β
She reopened her eyes, lay there on her back, looked at the blue sky above her and thought:
"If I were to fly at full speed at all costs, it would be at least two weeks or so from here to Faense."
At the same time, I envy in my heart. Someone began to toss and turn on the reef in frustration:
"When...... Am I going to be able to reach the level of Xuexi's heyday? Since breaking through the realm of the peak of the continent, it seems that it is difficult to cultivate in an ordinary way. β
The wait is always long.
"Almost, it's time to go back."
On the fifth day, Natsu left the reef as planned and re-entered the New World.
During this time, there were many patrol fleets passing by the sea, and soldiers also climbed the rocks to search. But these people were no threat in her eyes when she had regained her strength, and she casually cast a little illusion and sent them all back, not even using her mental induction, and did not cause her any trouble at all.
"It seems that sending Bellerier back to Faennes is not the key to being able to return to the real world."
"The first hypothesis fails...... According to my and Faynan Stream's original analysis, the second hypothesis is much more troublesome and much more dangerous. β
"I really don't want to be involved in this war if I could."
She looked at the seemingly calm land in front of her, and hurried to everyone's new hiding place worriedly.
Because of Erin, she deceived Xue Qian. Coupled with the deterrence of the hill watchman, the others could not be allowed to stay there, and everyone had already moved their residences far away.
"Summer ...... Sister! Belelli is gone. β
Zero was still the first to fly out and crashed into her arms:
"There is a ...... The guy who looks like the red-haired goddess took her away! β
"Sister, save her!"
Evelyn and Dolinda, with red eyes, ran out of it and surrounded her. One hugged her thighs, and the other flew onto her back. A posture of not letting go if you don't agree.
"She wasn't taken by the bad guys, she went home."
Xia comforted the three to:
"To be able to go back to your own home...... It's a very happy thing. She seemed to think of her own experience, and said with a sigh:
"Don't forget, you all have places to go back to...... So be happy for her. β
Evelyn looked thoughtful and let go of her thighs, and Dolinda slid off her back. He stood there with his head bowed and fell silent.
Only Zero, who was not heartless, was lying in Xia's arms, rubbing against the pair of plump breasts.
She has no home.
For her, Evelyn's side, Natsu's arms...... In fact, it is the place that makes her feel the most relieved and warm.
"Fei Nanxi, how is the situation at the barracks?"
After calming down the three girls. Natsu sent a soul telepass to the lich.
"It's a bad situation, my partner."
The lich's voice was a little unclear, as if it had been disturbed by something:
"I've tied up the woman named Tracy as you commanded, but the colonel named Harden hasn't returned to camp, so there's no suitable person to command it now, and it's a bit embarrassing to face the Hill Watchman's attack, and it should be a rout in the near future."
"Where's the prism?"
Xia asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Is that thing any signs of activation?"
"It's hard to tell."
The lich replied:
"The guards of the prism are all elite guards, and the magic array is very well built, I can't know the specific situation...... One thing is certain, however, that they were not under the direct command of the two colonels, but a relatively independent force; However, if Tracy is in the camp, it should have a certain deterrent effect on these people. β
"Then put her back, her injuries should be healed by now."
Xia counted the time, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he asked the lich to send the female colonel back to the barracks.
"Boom ......"
The magical barrier built outside the silver-white walls trembled again.
The outermost layer of the defensive barrier was smashed by the Hill Warden's fist, and the light gradually faded, and after supporting a few more attacks, it finally dissipated into small points of light.
"The twenty-first level of the barrier has also been destroyed!"
The scout, who was holding a telescope to observe the enemy, shouted in a cold sweat:
"There are still seven layers left in the barrier, but we don't have any magic crystals left! No new defensive shields can be added! If it goes on like this......"
"Mobile team, go up and get the attention of that big guy!"
A man with a high-level magic badge on his shoulder gave orders to the mage regiment that was destined for his life.
"Swift wind, please obey my dispatch and give me light wings......
Some of the pale-faced mages began chanting incantations, and a cyan elemental glow gradually appeared on their bodies.
"Be careful not to get too close, I don't want to see any of you smashed into meatloaf by that monster."
The captain with the high-level magic badge said in a deep voice:
"Your job is to contain and attract its attention! It's not about fighting this invincible monster! Do you understand? β
"Understood!"
These highly mobile wind mages responded in unison, and most of the rest of the mages had resolute expressions on their faces, except for a few who were slightly timid.
They are soldiers, and they are from the Empire's most glorious group of battlemages; Naturally, he will not hesitate to give his life when necessary.
"It's not that it's invincible!"
A grim female voice rang out from above the camp walls.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Tracy, who was wielding a large sword, stroked her long red hair, and by this time her hands no longer showed the slightest sign of injury.
The bruised injuries of her broken arms miraculously recovered in just one week, and the soldiers who had witnessed her defeat had watched her leap from a high metal wall as if in a dream.
"--Colonel Tracy is back!!"
Seeing this majestic female colonel, a cheer rang out in the barracks.
The tired faces of the soldiers who had worked hard all night showed joy, as if they had found a savior, and they gathered around the commander.
Tracy, who had been imprisoned by the lich for days, sank out of the path his men had made out of his men's way to the glowing defensive barrier beneath it, looking up at the behemoth behind it.
"When did it appear?"
The female colonel asked with a frown as she watched the Hill Watcher smash his fist on the barrier, the magic shield trembling incessantly.
"Just that night, after the camp was attacked by unknown figures."
An officer squeezed into the crowd and replied, wiping his sweat:
"You went out with the second combat team to search, but you never returned, and everyone thought you were ......"
"The enemy is strong, but I came back alive."
Tracy didn't want to talk more about the humiliation, and shook her palm vigorously:
"βand he managed to recover from his injuries, thanks to the silver-haired lady."
A smile appeared on her face at the mention of Miss Silverhair, but then it was overshadowed by sadness.
"Notify the center over there, be ready to activate the prism at any time!"
She quickly dispelled the gloom in her heart, turned to the leader of the mage regiment and ordered:
"In the face of such a powerful enemy, it is the most stupid thing to passively defend with enchantments alone, we must find a way to take the initiative before the resources are exhausted!" (To be continued.) )
