With strong doubts welling up in his heart, Zhou Yao walked a few steps quickly and came to Elquit's side.

On the way, Mei Lian, who was also shocked by the girl's appearance, frowned tightly and muttered to herself.

"No wonder, that's ......"

It seems that after experiencing the initial truth and falsehood, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Isn't she Zhen Hailin?"

Looking away from the girl, Zhou Yao turned his head and asked Erquit.

"Well, I'm familiar with its breath. It should be that she is right. ”

Erquit tapped his lips with his fingers, carefully looked at the girl's half-salary, and then gave Zhou Yao a definite answer.

"It's really Hailin?! That is to say, this is her essence, whether it is the giant tree or the forest outside, it is her doppelganger. ”

Although he had already reached a conclusion in his heart, Zhou Yao was still a little surprised to hear Erquit answer so confidently.

In this way, it seems that it can barely explain why the previous Fu Hailin was so weak.

Because it's just a clone, it's natural that it doesn't have the strength to match the ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

Now the body seems to be sleeping, because it has just broken through the seal and entered a dormant period?

Just like Fu Hailin only appears once in decades, he will go back to sleep when his appetite is satisfied?

"No, this generation of Anasho is the entire forest, and does not have the ability to transform into a human form. Odd...... It seems that he got some opportunity to break through that layer of diaphragm and transform. ”

Elquit shook her head and explained, wondering as well.

"Opportunity...... Ah, that's probably it. ”

After listening to her, Zhou Yao thought about it for a while and suddenly realized.

"Do you know what the reason is? Speaking of which, why did Fu Hailin attack me here? It had been invading for a while, and I was asleep. If you really received instructions from that stinky old man, why didn't you attack me all this time? Even if I attacked, I wouldn't be able to beat me. Could it be that I have some opportunity here for her to be transformed? ”

Erquit remembered that he didn't know what the most fundamental reason for the appearance of Fu Hailin was here, and instantly associated that with this.

It's because it knows that you can't fight the attack, that it keeps sneaking up...... This kind of spit is put aside for the time being.

Speaking of which. Elquette still doesn't know the real reason why Fu Hailin invaded Millennium City, and yes, because he has been sleeping, he doesn't know that Fu Hailin has ever been alive in the Central Province, and he doesn't know that Fu Hailin was seriously injured and was sealed.

Even if you know the fact of the invasion of Fuhailin. I don't think about it that way at all.

And it's not just her, maybe only herself and Erdi know the real reason among the people present.

――In order to break through the seal, he set his sights on the blood of the True Ancestor that remained in the thousand-year-old city.

Mei Lian probably still doesn't believe in the existence of Warner, and Wu Ma Yuqing ...... PASS！

Thinking about it this way, Warner's intelligence-gathering ability is really strong. I don't know how much effort it took to get it done.

"Ah, just like you think. If there is any opportunity for the transformation of Fu Hailin, it can only be this. A few years ago, it was cleaned up by the church and sealed. In order to break free from the seal, it somehow set its sights on the Millennium City, to be precise, the blood of the True Ancestors remaining in the Millennium City. It may be because of the blood of the True Ancestor that the transformation has been obtained. ”

Zhou Yao nodded and replied without reservation.

If Hailin was not originally humanoid, the only reason why he has acquired a humanoid form is this.

In this way, it also makes more sense. The reason why Fu Hailin is so weak is because it immediately entered the process of transformation after breaking through the seal.

At the same time, it may have been cut off from the forest outside, so that the dryad took advantage of it. Broke free from the seal.

"The blood that remains in the thousand-year-old city...... Is there such a thing......"

Elquit said softly, his mood feeling a little low.

She seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past, while someone on the other side was paying attention to something completely irrelevant.

"There's still a reason for this?! Sure enough, you and Fu Hailin are in the same group, that's why you know each other so well! Say! What are your intentions for the princess? ”

Mei Lian shouted loudly and cast a reproachful look at Zhou Yao.

He really doesn't give up, and this dedication is a bit admirable......

"If it's really a gang, I'll take action to destroy Fu Hailin? The giant tree, and the scorched earth outside, are proof. ”

Zhou Yao pursed his lips, too lazy to pay attention to him and afraid that he would continue to pursue it. I had to explain.

"And who knows? Maybe it's because of a disagreement and infighting. ”

Finally caught a suspicious point, how could Mei Lian let it go.

"I really admire your imagination. As I've said before, someone else is fighting the idea of Millennium City, and I'm going to wipe it out. At the same time, I learned about it. ”

Zhou Yao continued to explain in a troublesome tone.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe this kind of nonsense?"

Mei Lian showed a clear face of disbelief, in his opinion, even if Zhou Yao was telling the truth, he had to listen to it as a lie at this time.

Instead of questioning, but directly giving a negative is a good proof of this.

Otherwise, how can the princess recognize the ugly face of this human being......

It's a pity -

"This excuse to deceive a three-year-old child actually wants to deceive me and the princess? That's right, Princess. ”

Mei Lian actively and enthusiastically launched an interrogation offensive against Zhou Yao. And the central figure of the incident is ......

"I want to take it home......"

Erquit couldn't help but sigh as he looked at it. The subject, of course, is a girl named Fu Hailin.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Yao and Mei Lian's doubts almost overlapped.

"Ahh What did you say? ”

Erquit suddenly came to his senses, blinked and asked Mei Lian.

"Princess!"

Mei Lian's smug face immediately collapsed when she saw it, and her tone was a mixture of strong helplessness and depression.

He was in high spirits and asked for permission, but Elquit didn't listen to him at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After realizing that he might have done something wrong, Elquette hurriedly apologized to Mei Lian.

"Princess, don't you think it's strange? Why did this guy know so much about the purpose of Fu Hailin? He said he was ......"

Mei Lian had no choice but to say it again.

"Well, it's all in the past anyway. Since Zhou Yao said so, it should be. ”

Erquit said indifferently.

"Princess-sama......"

Mei Lian suddenly wanted to cry without tears.

Do you trust this human for the first time more than I say......

He then turned his depressed mood into an angry gaze. invested in Zhou Yao's body.

"What should she do with this?"

Elquit shifted the subject, drawing everyone's attention to the girl.

The white and flawless body was exposed to the air, but it could not make people have the slightest evil thoughts.

The short bright red hair seems to exude a different fragrance. Lingering in the air.

The comfortable sleeping face is very cute, and at the same time, it will make people who see it have a strong desire to protect.

It is not affected by external factors, but the characteristics of the girl itself.

No wonder Elquit was muttering like that.

Zhou Yao also had the same feeling after reading it, but some people didn't care about this.

"Dare to destroy the princess's thousand-year-old city, the death penalty. Must be executed! If the princess doesn't want to do it, I'll take it back to the church! ”

Hearing Elquit's question, Mei Lian immediately came to his senses again and proposed sharply.

I suddenly felt that Mei Lian was a joke, it was my delusion...... Zhou Yao buried this idea in his heart.

"It's not up to us to decide, it's you who is the owner here, you decide. I don't care. ”

Zhou Yao smiled slightly and said to Erquit.

He would say this partly because it was true, and partly because he had already seen that Elquit had already made up his mind when he said this.

Naturally, it will not be as incomprehensible as Mei Lian.

However, this way. There was one thing that had to be solved......

Coincidentally, while they were talking, the girl in question woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she glanced at the nearest three Elquet, tilted her head as if puzzled, and then got up from the cradle with difficulty, like babies who had just learned to walk.

“miu～”

She uttered a fuzzy syllable and opened her arms to Elquit in search of a hug.

"Yikes! So cute! ”

Although the girl's body shape has long been detached from the baby, but seeing her such an innocent face, Elquit screamed and pounced. He picked up the girl.

completely ignored Mei Lian, who reminded her to be careful.

“miu～miu～”

Rubbed hard against Elquit's cheek, the girl looked happy and let out a cry that was still speechless.

Is it because of the metamorphosis? I always feel that the current Fu Hailin does not have the temperament of the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, but is like a newborn baby.

"Naw. I can take her back with me, Zhou Yao. ”

It's not so much an inquiry as a threat.

Zhou Yao felt so after seeing the expression on Erquit's face.

He knew that Elquit would say that, so he smiled wryly and nodded without being surprised.

At the same time, things that must be solved have emerged. That's how to solve the blood-sucking impulse of Fu Hailin......

"No! Princess! Don't be fooled by its appearance, maybe it's just pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and secretly planning some conspiracy against the princess. ”

Mei Lian jumped out again and gave a solemn reminder loudly.

"You're so annoying, Mei Lian. She's so cute, you really don't understand it at all. ”

Elquit pursed his lips and cast a disdainful look at Mei Lian.

Plum Ripple, sunk ......

Zhou Yao withdrew his compassionate gaze, coughed twice to attract Elquet's attention, and then spoke.

"Although I have no objection to you leaving with me, there is one thing that must be solved."

"What's the matter? Do you not have enough room in your home? It's okay, I can't do it, I can turn one out for you with a bang. ”

Elquit said something very scary with a breeze.

Change one out...... Zhou Yao was speechless for a while. Only Bai Ji said this.

"No, although the family is a little older, the place is sure to be big enough." After being speechless, he denied it.

"Why? Ah, I see, is it because the overhead is not enough? It doesn't matter, I have a lot of gold left in my house and should be able to buy some money. ”

Elquit said as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

“……”

It's really rich, hey!

Anyway, Princess, the direction you are considering is really realistic!

But to be honest, when I heard Jin Zhouyao, I was a little tempted for a moment.

If he had heard this earlier, he might have agreed without even thinking about it, but now that the shop over there has opened, there is no need to ask for too much money, anyway, after the sale of magic weapons, the money will definitely not be less...... No, the Dragon Seed Monopoly in a month may require a lot of money......

As if to see his hesitation, Erquit continued.

"It's just like I paid the rent, and it's useless to stay there anyway."

"That'...... Well, thanks. ”

Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to agree.

"Very well, let's go back and get it. By the way, I also found clothes for her to wear. ”

Elquit put the girl back in the cradle, making the same voice as the girl, as if in conversation.

"Can you talk to her?"

Seeing the girl nodding slightly, Zhou Yao asked in surprise.

"Who made me the True Ancestor?" Elquit said proudly.

Is there any relationship between the two?

Zhou Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly, suddenly remembering that he hadn't finished what he wanted to ask.

He almost forgot about it when he was interrupted by Elquit like this.

"Thank you very much for your gift, but that's not what I'm talking about to solve."

"What's that?"

Aside from the above two questions, she really couldn't think of anything else.

"Blood-sucking impulses, blood-sucking movements. She's a dead apostle, and we're going back to the Central Province, so at least we'll have to settle this matter. ”

Zhou Yao explained. It took a lot of effort to solve Lei Ruxue's bloodsucking impulse at the beginning, and the girl in front of her was the ancestor of the Dead Apostles. It's not like Elquit, who is the true ancestor, who can be suppressed by his own will and by sleeping.

In short, there is nothing he can do on his side, so he can only ask Alquette what he can do, she can be said to be the apex of vampires, maybe there will be any way.

If there is no way, you can only use Lei Ruxue's medicine at that time to suppress it, but that is not a long-term solution......

"Ah, you don't need to worry about that."

"What do you mean?"

Erquit's words made Zhou Yao's eyes light up.

"I've already confirmed that she did absorb the blood remaining in the thousand-year-old city to transform. Once, she was born because she absorbed the blood of the previous generation of Anasius and evolved into a blood-sucking forest. This time, she absorbed the blood of the True Ancestor, and while completing the transformation, it also caused its body to be mixed with the blood of the True Ancestor, which can be regarded as half of my kind. So the way to suppress, I will teach her. ”

Elquit patiently explained, touching the girl's head.

Confirmed? Is it the kung fu you just held?

Shaking off this question, Zhou Yao put down his heart and smiled.

Since it can be solved, then he has no worries. (To be continued.) )
