#18. Affinity with Heine

Heine's silence made the two of them instantly understand that there must be something hidden in this matter, and they had experienced so much before, and intuitively the two of them could guess that this secret must be a trouble that could kill people.

Living up to Lena's and Ballard's expectations, Heine finally made a decision after a few moments of hesitation.

did not give a direct answer, but first took out a pendant from the neckline.

At the end of the pendant was a diamond-shaped metal frame, with knife marks on it indicating that something had been inlaid on it.

He took the scales in the small box in his hand, pursed his lips, and placed the scales in the metal frame.

With a soft "click", the scales naturally snapped back into the frame, and the somewhat dull necklace gradually had a faint brilliance as the scales returned to their positions.

Seeing this scene, Lena's eyes immediately widened.

"This ......"

Heine thought that Lena understood something instantly, but in fact......

"This must be worth a lot of money when the necklace is sold!"

Syllable!

"I order you, as the head of the regiment, not to smash my head again in the future."

Ignoring Lena's orders, Ballard looked at the "Leviathan Pendant" on Heine's chest and asked tentatively.

"Are you a citizen of the sea?"

"People of the Sea? What is that? ”

Heine's answer surprised Ballard, and from the clarity of her eyes, he couldn't find the deception hidden in it.

That is, in terms of identity, he and Lena can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

It cannot be ruled out that she is indeed a member of the dangerous group of the "Sea People", which is full of mysteries, but at least for now, she can not worry about this possibility for the time being.

Chong Lina winked, and the witch lady who was still giving him the middle finger put away the dissatisfaction in her heart and ended up talking.

"Tell me who you really are."

"I ...... I ......"

Seeing that Heine had become a little stumbling again, Lena directly told the "true identity" of the scale.

"Do you know what it is that you have around your neck - the scales of the Sea Monster Leviathan, yes, the so-called 'Sea God' that it took me three days to beat it down and seal. And this scale is one of the materials that seals it. ”

"Huh!? Heyβ€”β€”!? ”

The sudden babbling startled Lena, and Ballard also began to soften his ears with a bit of a headache.

Resisting the urge to slap her with a stick, Lena slapped her in the chest.

The ups and downs, the turbulent waves, made Lena suddenly roll her eyes angrily.

"Don't howl at every turn! Seriously! ”

The feeling of suffocation in her heart made Lena speak in a heavier tone.

Fortunately, Heine didn't care about any of this, or rather, she didn't have the extra heart to care about such small details now.

A necklace was ripped off his neck, and the twitches at the corners of his mouth were like cramps.

"This ...... It's just a relic left to me by my mother...... She said she would bless me with my safety......"

"Peace? I think you must have been born to your mother. ”

Pushing back the hand she wanted to hold the necklace to herself, Lena continued.

"After wearing this necklace, did you feel like a monster trying to kill you? Do you always feel that you will get into trouble for no reason? Is it easy to catch up with bad luck if you are not careful? ”

Three questions in a row were met with three consecutive nods from Heine.

Not only that, but with every nod, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

As Lena was about to continue, Heine grabbed her hand.

"That's amazing! Lena, how do you know...... No, he is worthy of being the youngest and most knowledgeable magician in the mainland, and he even knows all this! ”

Ballard, who was in the audience, slapped himself on the head.

Of course, I finally understood why she didn't attract monsters than Lena, but more importantly, I finally knew that Heine had nothing to do with the "people of the sea" race.

Sure enough, the root of all evil, Lena Ruminaarla.

"After talking about it for a long time, it turns out that you are still ...... provoked"

"You're talking too much."

"I just wanted to state the facts and explain that I just misunderstood that she was a citizen of the sea."

With a casual spread of his hands, Ballard was silent.

Staring at the pendant in his hand, Heine was silent for a long time before Heine asked such a question with his leaping mind.

A question very close to the truth.

"So...... This scale, is it Lina yours? ”

Seeing that Lena nodded in acknowledgement, Heine followed up with a question.

"That'...... Is it because you thought the scales were too easy to get into trouble and threw them away and my mother picked them up? ”

"No, strictly the ...... I gave to your mother"

Heine's face sank as soon as he heard this.

Because her mother's death has a lot to do with this scale.

Soon, though, she realized that she was wrong to blame Lena.

"Mia, it's your mother, she was dying under the attack of the beast tide when I met her, if you don't believe me, remember if your mother has a huge scar on her abdomen. I wasn't very proficient in the white magic of healing, so I had to use this to save her life temporarily. ”

"So ......"

"So there's nothing wrong with you thinking that I killed Miya, anyway, the people who want to seek revenge from me already need to get the number and line up, so it's not bad for you to be so ......"

Poof.

The sound of her knees hitting the floor interrupted Lena's words.

Moving away from her knees, Lena turned her eyes to Ballard for help.

"What strange custom is this?"

Ballard's response was simple.

His hands were spread out again, and the inexplicable word was also hung on his face.

"I don't know, maybe it's their custom of thanksgiving?"

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

"Really!?" x2

The shock of the two did not delay Heine from explaining the reason for his thanks.

After learning that Miya had always wanted to find an opportunity to repay her "life-saving benefactor", Lena's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

- Because she was also a dead horse doctor at that time, Heine's mother survived more because of her own life.

Well, knowing the relationship between Heine and the scale, the reason why Hydra attacked her is completely clear.

It's like your taunt is automatically triggered without a CD, and if others don't want to scold you, they won't be able to interfere and move in place.

The metaphor is a bit crooked, but the meaning is to comprehend the spirit.

Solve the problem that you have been forgetting to ask, then the next thing to discuss is to get down to business.

How to get a boat to go to sea.

The storm season has not yet arrived, and those captains are reluctant to go to sea, naturally because the legend of "Poseidon Fury" does not dare to easily put their lives and the lives of their crews on the line.

Without the support of hardware, it would have been impossible for Lena to consolidate the seal, let alone solve the "Poseidon Fury" problem and investigate on the spot to find out who had touched the seal.

Sighing softly, Lina, who really couldn't think of a good solution, finally set her eyes on her staff of Igdrasil.

The branches of the World Tree should still be quite valuable, right......

Lena's idea is easy to guess, and of course it could be said that Ballard knows her too well.

So after seeing her gaze fall on her staff, his words instantly made Lena stop the idea of selling her staff.
