Finding Ling Yi in an industrial city with a population of hundreds of thousands is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, especially when he doesn't want to see anyone, the odds are not even 0.1 percent.

"Although we have reached a consensus, we just don't know what his attitude is."

"I'm absolutely going to sit on the sidelines."

The old marquis smiled happily, as if he were watching an incomparably wonderful show. Gascoigne, one of the actors, gave him a look: "It's just a waste of time to continue speculating." I heard that one of your subordinates was detained in Tokyo, is that true? ”

Although he didn't quite understand why Gasco suddenly mentioned this, the old marquis didn't give him a good look.

"It's better to call it an outcast than a subordinate, what? Are you interested in this? ”

"No, I just heard my subordinates mention it. Oh yes, it seems that Miss Outcast's rival is here too. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the old marquis's brows moved, as if he was aroused.

"Is the arch-rival of the heirs of the Clanichar family, that is, Paul's niece?"

"Even if you are short-sighted, you will not mistake the beauty that belongs to the flower of Milan."

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen you praise women so much, I've heard more than once that you have a very unpleasant quarrel with that princess because of your ungentlemanly behavior, do you plan to find a princess? His Royal Highness the Black Prince. ”

"Who knows."

For the old marquis's joke, Gascoigne was still so indifferent, playing with the cup in his hand. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Until a moment later.

"I'll take care of that. I would make someone willing to fall victim to this battle. ”

Gascoigne slowly stood up, smoothed the wrinkles in his suit, straightened his tie, dropped the puzzling words, and left.

The old marquis was left alone, smiling silently

Suites at the Hilton Hotel.

There were only two girls in the dimly lit room.

"Miss Erica, I actually like Ling Yi very much, right?" The chestnut-haired girl, who was about to be crushed by anxiety and depression, had a haggard face, and her milky skin revealed an unhealthy pale, and her tone was low, not at all like the tone of a girl in her prime.

"Of course, admiration for the strong aside. He and I knew each other. Although we didn't spend a long time together, it was a very deep memory for me, and it was natural to have a hazy affection for him. ”

Erica tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and shook her brilliant blonde. Between gestures. Radiant self-confidence is on full display.

Italian girls are known for their passion. But in fact, they also have a delicate and deep side, which is also full of romantic feelings and loyalty to love.

But Milan is the same as Shanghai. Like a melting pot that houses Italians from all over the world for work. Immigrants from the South become 'Northernized' in the second generation.

Erica's personality is typical of northern Italian professional women, ambitious and self-motivated, but also longing for a beautiful love of her own.

Obviously, the best candidate in her mind is Ling Yi, although he already has a girlfriend, but so what? There is a goalkeeper who does not still score goals.

What a brace, a hat-trick, and four joys come to the goal, and they don't treat the goalkeeper as a human being.

Assuna smiled a little, as if to say, 'That's so,' but her hands were clenched tightly unconsciously.

"My love for him is double, no one can compare, so I won't let go."

"I don't quite understand what you mean by this, but I want to ask you a question, how long can you hold out? How long can you last with this almost pathological love? Aren't you afraid of a nervous breakdown one day? ”

Erica asks several questions like a cannon, not giving Asuka time to adjust her feelings at all.

Asukina looked away and didn't say anything, like a little animal hiding in the corner and licking her wounds without worrying about it.

"It's hard to be exposed by me, isn't it? Actually, your acting skills are not very good, it's just that Ling Yi never cared, and I even doubt that he has ever fallen in love with you. "When it comes to 'love', Erica emphasises it emphatically.

"Are you trying to say that he knew about it for a long time, and it was out of pity or sympathy that he would be so close to me?" Asujina raised her head suddenly, and her pure and delicate face, which was enough to be worshiped as an otaku god by all Japanese teenagers, was covered with frost.

"What do you think? Sometimes it's better to recognize the reality, Miss Asuina, it's not okay for you to fall like this. In my opinion, love does require persistence, but your attachment is more like being influenced by the outside world, or being infected by something, yes, it's like when others are happy, you will also be happy, this metaphor is good, right? ”

Erica said, shaking her fingers.

As soon as these words came out, Asukina's face became pale, her eyes full of anger instantly dimmed, and her pink lips opened slightly, but she couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

"At the end of the day, you're just 'hypnotized'"

"No, no, it's not! I love him, I like him like him like me like him like crazy, even if I leave him for a day it makes me feel suffocating loneliness, this is not hypnosis, I am not affected by anything! That memory is real, and so is my love for him! ”

"Have you been implanted with someone else's memory?"

Sixteen-year-old knight, Erica not only has a magical talent that ordinary people can't match, but also a brilliant intelligence that rivals talent.

Just half a sentence can make Erica think a lot.

"But it shouldn't be, if you just have a memory, it's just a bland piece of information at best, at most it's a little deeper than watching novels and movies, and there's no reason to have such a big impact on people." Erica frowned and looked at the poor girl who was holding her head and trembling. It seems that I have inadvertently touched a very large secret.

"Miss Erica, I don't know if you have ever experienced the uncontrollable tears of a person you don't know, or the dream-like images in your mind every day when you close your eyes, and these are the realities that you have to accept. At that time, I was really going crazy. Asukina suddenly stopped trembling and let out a long breath, her flat voice containing an imperceptible hint of fanaticism.

"Every morning when I stand in front of the mirror, I always feel that behind the face reflected in the mirror is someone else and not me. No matter what I do, I have two different feelings, I can't be more familiar with a strange place, and I naturally greet someone I don't know. The mouth is uncontrollable and utters a series of words. But this puppet-like life came to an end when I found him. At first he pleaded like a patient longing for relief, and then he agreed to accept me, and although it was only a verbal word, it finally allowed me to live a peaceful life. ”

"That's when I learned what the greatest weakness of humanity was. Not death and not love. It's habit. When I came to my senses. But I found that I couldn't live without him anymore, so I began to find ways to stay with him, no matter what he needed me to do. I'm going to satisfy him as much as I can, and I'm just trying to please him, and I don't want to get kicked away for angering him. From being cautious at the beginning, to laughing and playing casually now, I have put in a lot of effort. No matter whether my love for him is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, as long as it is his will, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

Telling your heart in front of the 'rival in love', I'm afraid this kind of thing even Akina herself didn't expect.

It's not so much an impulse, but rather a smooth admission of the darkest and unspeakable dirty thoughts in his heart.

Anyway, as if she had unloaded the burden on her shoulders, Assuna felt a lot more relaxed, although her face was still so bad.

"It's really a complicated emotional entanglement." Erica tilted her head and sat casually next to her, her hands propped up on the quilt and looking up at the ceiling.

"Do you know what he thinks?"

"I don't know."

"Well, I asked an idiot's question. That guy is more free and easy than anyone else on the surface, but in fact he is the one with the best acting skills, as long as he is willing, no one can see through his mind. Really, what are you going to do? ”

Asukina withdrew her hands, put her chin on her knees, and said in a bitter tone:

"I want to break up with him."

"Well, then please."

"Miss Erica is funny, but thank you."

As for the reason why Erica appeared here, Asuna is not stupid, and the answer will be clear after a little contemplation, it is nothing more than to take care of her for the sake of Ling Yi's face, or it may be forced to be helpless, in short, this 'thank you' is not a loss.

"Remember to eat something, I'll go out to see Alice, that guy is almost the same as you, lock yourself in the room to study the technique, don't even drink a sip of water, it seems that those who have been with Ling Yi for a long time will be infected with helpless characteristics." Erica shook her head, got up and walked out of the room.

At the moment when she was about to close the door-

"By the way, Miss Erica, I wasn't kidding."

Erica paused, didn't say a word, and gently closed the door.

Tick-tock-

Asukina slowly curled up, hugging her knees, tears filling her eyes and silently sliding down her cheeks.

She didn't know if it was right or wrong to do this, if she put it in front of a few cents, she wouldn't choose to let go anyway, even if she was disgusted, she still wouldn't give up, but now, after being broken by those subconscious thoughts that she didn't want to admit, she no longer had the courage to snuggle into someone's arms like before.

It is said that it is often power and wealth that tarnished love, but in fact, that is only the surface, and what really makes love no longer pure is selfishness.

What is still loved even if you don't have that memory, that's completely deceptive.

If you think about it carefully, Tomorrow Nai and Ling Yi don't have much contact, and they haven't accumulated much favorability, so it's complete nonsense to have a deep relationship or something, isn't it?

"It turns out that I have been living in a dream."

At this time, Ling Yi didn't know that his girlfriend, the only one he had admitted so far, was going to break up with him, and he was busy resting now. Although the logic is shattered. But it's true.

In just a few hours, the huge mana power of dozens of first-class magicians combined, which was not necessarily comparable, disappeared.

So much so that he was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger, so he just found a small park bench where no one was there and lay down to rest.

When Ling Yi opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was a face that was outrageously cold.

"It's just a young girl's size, but it's very comfortable to pillow." Ling Yi was still a little sleepy, his body was weak and weak, the physique of a god killer was not omnipotent after all, and the injury was okay to say, a situation like this when the mana was at the bottom was more special, and it took a little longer to recover.

"I've been looking for you for a long time. So you're lying here. ”

The cold voice revealed a hint of reproach.

Seeing that Ling Yi wanted to get up. The girl pressed his head on his lap quietly, didn't she say it was comfortable? Then take a little longer, it's nothing anyway.

Ling Yike was an expert in changing the subject, and he felt the cold little hand on his neck. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He had no doubt if the spell would lose its effect. Your neck will turn into a can that has been pinched and exploded.

"What? Planning to take revenge while I'm not in a good state now? ”

"Although the concubine is not shameless, she is not pedantic either. Rest assured, it won't kill you. ”

"Take your hand away from me"

I believe that before the two words were spoken, they were blocked by two cherry lips.

Cold, cold. It's softer than jelly, and it seems a little sweeter.

"Huh?"

Athena's face changed slightly, and her fingers gently slid over her lips, and her white skin formed a strong inverse contrast to the bright red.

"Don't like it?"

Just now, her lip was bitten.

Despite this, the tone did not change, and some were just confused.

"What do you think?" Ling Yi stretched out his hand and gently wiped the blood on Athena's lips with his thumb, "Remember, this is just a punishment, and you are not allowed to do this kind of thing without my permission in the future." ”

"If you had half the weight of the ancient heroes, it would be nice if you didn't rejoice in the fragrant kiss offered by the beautiful woman, and even bite back, it's really a strange god-killer."

Ling Yi is not easy to refute, after all, this 'bite back' is extremely appropriate in all senses, I really can't imagine that Athena has learned Chinese culture so well.

Although she was given a 'curse' and lost her personal freedom, Athena's strength as a disobedient person did not lose half a point, and this skin injury disappeared in a few seconds.

"By the way, what about Lefa?"

"Who's that?"

"It's been a few months, and you haven't even remembered his name?"

"Its existence is enough to disgust the concubine, could it be that you deliberately gave the concubine a reason to kill it?"

"If you kill it, there will be other similar shaves."

Ling Yi patted Athena's head and rubbed her hair by the way.

However, Athena didn't seem to care about what Ling Yi did to her, her dusk eyes kept staring at Ling Yi's increasingly mature face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Okay, where is he to sue me?"

"Called away by two other godslayers."

"Huh? Gascoigne I know, who is the other? ”

"An old man with silver hair."

"Oh, Vauban ah. Lefa would obediently follow them, could it be that Typhon could not have gone away? ”

"Not yet, but soon."

Athena replied solemnly.

According to Hesiod's Theogony, Typhon was the youngest son of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Tartarus, the god of the abysses of hell. Another version is preserved in the "Hymn to Homer": Zeus split his head and gave birth to Athena, and Hera, with a grudge in her heart, ran to pray to the Father and Mother and Tartarus, asking them to give them a son who would be far more powerful than her husband. After that, she did not sleep with Zeus for the whole year, and gave birth to Typhon without conception. Legend has it that the place of birth is in the Chirijon Cave.

Typhon itself is not very famous, but its children are.

For example, Cerberus the hellhound, Hydra Hydra, the dragon of Kolchakos guarding the Golden Fleece, Scoura the Siren, Radon guarding the golden apple, the Condor pecking at the liver of Prometheus, the giant lion that competes with Hercules, and the real Sphinx of Egypt.

In addition, Gorgon is also a descendant of it.

That is, Medusa is its granddaughter.

In real terms, Athena has a deep relationship with it.

"Typhon's name in Egypt was Knight, and he was both the god of the desert and the god of storms. However, due to the nature of the myth itself, it was later deviated"

"The motif of rebirth, no wonder the alchemist is delaying time, it turns out that it has not been 'reborn' yet."

Ling Yi figured out the key to the matter in an instant.

The previous Knight was just Knight the desert god.

The current Knight is the hundred-headed dragon Typhon. (To be continued......)
