Chapter 68: Half-body

Lily sat limply on the woollen blanket floor, and in front of her, Serena sat down on the floor with the same pale face, her right arm bent unnaturally.

There was a smile on her bloodless face, and even if Lily was injured, she couldn't change her funny nature.

"Yo, speaking of which, this is our first meeting, my half. ”

Serena hugged her right arm, her white arm bending unnaturally backwards from her elbow, and even just looking at it would make people feel very painful.

But Serena's expression did not change in any way because of the pain, she still looked indifferent, manipulating the magic to pull her arm back little by little.

Lily looked at Serena, who didn't seem to feel pain, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead.

After restoring her arm to its original shape, Serena had the strength to clean up the magic circle on the floor. She raised her hand, and the light of the magic circle dimmed, and the magic that pulsed in the room fell silent.

"Okay, tell me the ins and outs of the matter. Serena's voice was as cold as ever, with a hint of resentment and resentment, but it was inaudible.

This is precisely the type of Lily fears the most, and perhaps because of the part of the soul they share, Lily will always be in awe of Serena as she is to her eldest sister who takes care of her mother in her place.

Scratching her head, Lily honestly explained: "We have encountered some trouble in the imperial capital, the chief cardinal Francis, the target of Lord Yastaro's request for our assassination, is likely to have discovered Arnold's true identity, so Arnold must clear his suspicions, and the solution he came up with is to use a fake 'Arnold' - and at the same time a 'true demon believer' to confuse Francis." ”

"So you're playing this role?" Serena glanced at Lily nonchalantly, but made Lily tremble like a hamster, "So, what kind of problem is it that requires me to use the teleportation circle to rescue you?" If it weren't for the fact that we shared our souls, I could have sensed it when you were in mortal danger, and you would have been lost by now, right?"

Recalling the magic trick that almost killed Lily before the teleportation circle was launched, not only Lily, but also Serena had palpitations. Even if she only used teleportation magic to save Lily, Serena was attacked by magic because her magic was involved in the turbulence within the scope of the magic, and her right arm was almost torn apart by the raging magic.

"Because I encountered the Knights of the Cathar. Lily sighed, her attitude was a little more serious, "I'll explain the specific process to you later, in short, Arnold used this stand-in plan to avoid the eyes and ears of his enemies in the imperial capital, successfully controlled the palace, and held the emperor hostage in disguise, and now his enemies should all be bogeyed, and there is no way to continue to compete with Arnold head-on." ”

Serena was silent, her eyes lowered in thought.

"So, when will he be able to come back?"

"I don't know. Lily shook her head.

Serena sighed slightly.

"You are forced to come back to me, there is no way to go to his side to help him, there is no one around him who can be completely trusted, what should you do after that, can you successfully complete the mission of Lord Yastaru and come back safely?"

Lily stared at Serena and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Serena just raised her eyes coldly and glanced at Lily, and the female demon was scared and silent, and she was as well-behaved as a cat.

"No, nothing......" Under Serena's forced gaze, she had to admit stubbornly, "I, I just think that you really care about Arnold......"

Serena didn't speak, just clenched her knuckles.

Then Lily was twisted by Serena's magical hand and begged for mercy.

"Then again," Serena dusted off her tunic, and got up from the floor, "you're going to be alive for the past two months." ”

"Huh?" Lily was stunned, her eyes wide, and she looked at Serena with a wink.

"I've endured two months of loneliness, and you've been enjoying my pig-like brother's bed every night that can't walk when he sees a woman, right?"

Hearing this, especially with Serena's tone, the back of Lily's neck was already in a cold sweat.

"This is a great sin, are you ready to apologize?"

"Wait, wait......" Lily hurriedly stood up, facing Serena who was advancing step by step, she could only retreat again and again, "This, this matter should be negotiable!"

"Give you one last chance to explain. ”

Looking at the terrifying magic that had materialized around Serena's body, Lily couldn't help but swallow.

"Well, you think, Iβ€”I'm not half your soul, so we can be considered a human being in a way. In that case, then your relationship with Arnold, that is, my relationship with Arnold, what I did with Arnold is the same as what you did with Arnold, then it makes no difference, right......?

In the end, Lily could only giggle to herself, trying to fool around.

But Serena didn't listen to her at all.

Without even a superfluous word, Lily was picked upside down, and before she could let out a scream, she was thrown onto the bed by Serena.

"The cat that steals the fishy is really not good. Serena licked her lips and smiled a somewhat eeriely, "Let you make up for my loneliness and make up for your mistakes." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Yes, Lily was rescued by you, and now she's on your side. ”

After getting in touch with Serena in Lionheart Castle through the communication scroll, and learning that Lily was on her side, Arnold's hanging heart finally let go.

Although it was a pleasure to admire Francis's wonderful expression in front of the palace, when Arnold learned that Francis had dispatched the Knights Cathar to wipe out the "self" that appeared in the consul's residence, he still felt worried about Lily, even if the situation developed as he expected, and he was completely in control of the imperial capital, he could not erase this uneasiness in his heart.

"You care about her?"

However, Serena on the other end was obviously not too happy, her voice was rather cold, with a piercing chill than before.

"Ahemβ€”anyway, I'm going well here, and if I'm going soon, I'll be back at Lionheart by spring. ”

"Are you in such a hurry to come back, do you want to see me or Lily?"

Serena was not so easy to fool, Arnold's means of changing the topic were directly pierced by her, and she hung a dangerous firewood knife on top of Arnold's head without mercy.

"Ahemβ€”by the way, did Lily tell you about the Chaos Elves we caught?"

The other end fell silent, as if this time Arnold's change of topic had succeeded.

"Chaos Elf?" the name made Serena forget to pursue it for a moment, "how did you catch it, Lily didn't tell me about it." ”

She probably ignored it. Arnold could have imagined the meeting between Lily and Serena, and in that case, the completely vulnerable Lily would have probably forgotten about it, "As she told you, there was a mysterious guy who eavesdropped on our conversation, and although he didn't catch it at the time, he found it through the sheriff Rockfit. ”

"She told me about it. Lily still mentioned the Rockfit investigation to Serena, "but she didn't mention any Chaos Elves." ”

"Ahem, we only later determined that it was the Chaos Elf, that thing is very difficult to catch, if it wasn't for luring it out, it really wouldn't have been able to catch it. ”

"You mean, the poor creature you used to assassinate Francis? The Chaos Elf wanted to avenge the wretched creature and you caught it instead?" Combined with Lily's previous account of herself, and the information that Arnold had revealed now, Serena immediately sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.

The Chaos Elves are a very rare race, and although they have "Elves" in their names, they have nothing to do with the Elves of the Elven Empire. This race is a complete Chaos cultist, the most mysterious of gods, the descendants of the ancient god Ark Yune.

Even the Church could not deny that Ark Juen was born at the same time as the all-knowing and all-powerful God Hel, and because of his relationship with the All-Knowing and Almighty God, the Church could not even name the god who had caused several great disasters in history, and could only call him an "old god".

Although Ark Yunn never cared about other people or gods, whether it was the gods of the previous realm or the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell of the lower sisters, they all paid attention to him all the time, and even pursued him. Not for anything else, but because Ark Juen is the only god in this world who knows the lost place of the all-knowing and all-powerful god Hel.

No one doesn't want to find Ark Yune and dig out the world's biggest and most important secret from his mouth, but no one can find his whereabouts, every time Ark Yunn appears so suddenly, even the gods can't predict it, and every time Ark Yunn appears will bring earth-shaking changes to the world, even He ended the First Age and opened the Second Age.

Since the Second Age, Arke Yunn has only appeared a few times, and each time he has only left the world with an unpredictable back. No one knows about Ark Yune, not even what side he is from, and the only way the world can know about this ancient god is through his family, the Chaos Elves.

Because the Chaos Elves are out-and-out Chaos believers, many people speculate that Ark Yunn is actually biased towards chaos like the demons of the lower realms, but no one has been able to confirm this. Even if you catch the Chaos Spirits, it will be difficult to get any accurate information from the mouths of these Chaos Thinking Guys.

However, even so, there is a desire to capture the Chaos Elves and use them to track down the whereabouts of Ark Yunn. Even if ordinary people don't need it, the church, demon cultists, and magicians will be more than happy to trade a lot of money for a Chaos Elf.

That's why Serena was so interested when she heard the name Chaos Elves.

According to Arnold, the Chaos Elf seems to have lived with the poor creature named Sean, who Arnold used as a pawn to assassinate Francis, for a long time, and after Sean's death, tried to avenge Sean. This was strange to Serena, because the Chaos Elves were notoriously moody as Chaos believers, and it was rare for Chaos Elves to linger in one place for a long time, let alone avenge a specific person.

"I followed Rockefed, I originally wanted to see the progress of his investigation and lead his investigation in other directions, but I didn't expect that Chaos Spirit to appear. Lily sensed that the aura on this Chaos Elf was the one who overheard our conversation last time, so that night, Lily found an opportunity to seize it. After that, I will also use Rockett's contact with this Chaos Spirit to get him to send Francis the wrong information and deceive the cardinal. The only surprise was that the Knights of the Cathar he brought with him was more powerful than I expected, forcing you to teleport Lily back......"

After listening to Arnold's explanation, Serena was silent for a long time, and then spoke for a long time.

"You can find a way to send that Chaos Spirit to me, I want it right away!"
