Achea's behavior was sometimes completely out of proportion to her age, especially when it came to such academic issues. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The labyrinth is about 10 kilometers from the center of Sand Island. Of the eight directions, only one of them is the samon gate, which is the exit. The other seven directions are dead doors, and there will be a situation where you will go back to the same place if you open it. β
"So we have to find one of them? But I've sailed in almost all eight directions, and I've all come back to where I was. β
"The door is not fixed, it changes all the time. I can deduce it, but I have to get to the middle of the sand island. β
"But because the passage of time in the labyrinth is different from the outside world, it is difficult for me to determine where I am now, and the current situation on the planetary chart. Requires 2 Prophets. Brother Ollie can be one and the other......"
"I will obey unconditionally. β
The sound came from the shadows on the side of the bookshelf. At this time, everyone realized that there was a person hiding there, although her whole body was covered by a robe, her bumpy figure and the voice just now revealed that she was a woman.
But no one noticed that Achea's pupils had changed again, but they quickly returned to their original shapes.
"Sif, don't be so mysterious. I thought you were an assassin by profession. Nilkith grumbled.
"My earliest profession was that of an assassin and a soothsayer, but it was only after I met your father and son that I switched my main profession. β
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Nilkith turned to Acea, "What else do you need to prepare?"
"You need someone to record the star charts, preferably shorthand and drawing. As well as some retinues that can fight, they can be dangerous. β
"Agreed. The two prophets said at the same time.
"I'm good at shorthand and drawing. Nielkith volunteered.
"I also want a bigger studio, and I'll send some iron products, scrap weapons or whatever. In addition, it is best for the entourage to go to the island to be mainly female, and all kinds of occupations are required. Let them rest. I'll pick some people on my side as well. β
It's as if Elchea has become a little commander, and everything is in order.
"Departure in 2 days. β
Nilkith personally led the four siblings to a large cabin on the middle floor. This was originally the one that was booked in Los Angeles. Their luggage was also left untouched in the cabin. After entering the door, the cabin is divided into three rooms, one of which has a large bed, and the other has two small beds, and the large room is like a living room. It's like a special room for a family of four.
"This was originally your room. The studio will be ready in no time, so please take a good rest. With that, he retired.
At once, Achea threw herself on the largest of them all, rolling around on the fluffy mattress like a mischievous kitten.
Having had enough, she jumped down and took the bag that she was carrying. Those bags contain a lot of valuables. For example, the various colored gemstones mined on the island of Yadema.
After a night's rest, the next day Acea was busy with the work. Except for the three older siblings, the only one who knew she was making was the Hunter Admiral.
In two days, the armament of all the attendants was strengthened. Ollie was given a new crystal ball, and Suna was given a lightstone ring and staff. In particular, the scepter, with a gem of light inlaid at the top, was the envy of even the priests accompanying the Dorunia.
In the evening. The soothsayer and Assassin, who was the necessary figure, came to Elchea's room.
"Can you show us your weapon? Ollie said with a smile. "The first time I've seen a soothsayer-assassin, I'm curious about what weapon you're using. β
"Dagger. Sif untied the dagger from his waist and handed it to Ollie. Ollie handed it over to Achea. Even at dusk, the dagger glows brightly when unsheathed. The blade of the dagger is serrated on both sides, with a bleeding groove in the center, and a barb at the tip of the dagger, which makes it difficult for the dagger to be pulled out after being pierced, and even when it is pulled out, it will cause a greater crack in the wound. The hilt is inlaid with several black stones that do not look like ornaments.
Elchea swiped her fingers across the back of the knife, and the blade immediately glowed black, completely different from when it was unsheathed.
As soon as Sif saw it, he knew that something was wrong, and had just drawn his spare weapon, the black whip. She collapsed to the ground.
"Very good dagger, Cerberus dagger. With seventeen Cerberus teeth, plus abyssal black silver iron, it can be made from the abyssal dwarf master. Regardless of other precious materials, these seventeen Cerberus teeth alone. Cerberus, there doesn't seem to be such a creature in this world, and maybe only in the abyss. β
"Why are you here? If there is no convincing explanation, I'm afraid the Inquisition will be very interested in you. You say yes, Miss Succubus. Although Los Angeles's words did not have that threatening tone, they were indeed outright threatening.
When Sif looked up again, two horns faintly appeared on her head, two black horns. The pupils also turned red like blood, and this was not the afterglow of the sun.
"It's not easy, I can't even detect danger in my divination, and you're the first. No, the first batch. Sif said weakly.
"If I want to know why, it's that I want revenge, like the whole abyss......"
"I'm a half-blood, my mother is an Abyssal Succubus, and my father is a real human. The father fell in love with his mother, and even rushed to the abyss to meet her at the cost of his life. And the mother also loved the father deeply, but their union was destined to be a tragedy. My father's last life was sucked away by my mother's tears, and I was born.
Finally, one day, the secret of my half-race was discovered, and my mother used her last strength to send me here before she died. I hope I can live the rest of my life safely. But I can't forget what happened to my mother before she died. At this point, she couldn't stop crying.
Endure her grief and continue: "When I wandered in this world, I learned divination. For more than ten years, I have been divining how to take revenge on the abyss. It wasn't until ten years ago that I met the father and son in an accident. Divination tells me that the time has come. After that, as you know, I followed Doron's father and son until one day he helped me and took revenge on the abyss. β
The ban was lifted, and Sif stood up again.
"Sorry, we can't trust a creature from another plane without a suitable reason. Ollie explained.
"The abyss? With our current strength, we can't fight against the abyss, and we don't even know where the abyss is. Ollie said again. "Maybe you'll have to wait 10,000 years, human time. β
"Probably the divination artist wants to tell me that if I follow the father and son of Duolun, one day I will meet someone who will take me to the abyss for revenge, even if it is ten thousand years. But I don't think it will take that long for the people in front of me to take me to the abyss for revenge in the near future. Miss Succubus didn't shy away from it, and her eyes looked at Achea in a daze.
"It's a feeling from my father, and you humans call it intuition. Even if it takes my life to sacrifice. β
"Sacrifice is a force to the abyss. Ollie corrected.
"Don't your gods need sacrifices?"
"Okay, let's take revenge on the abyss for the time being. Now the first question is to get around from this. Sif didn't dwell on that.
"We can trust you, but hopefully you won't leave the Doron father and son for a while. They are still the key in your divination. β
Sif wasn't disappointed with their answer, just replied I know.
The sea breeze in the middle of the night was a little cold, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the tryst between the teenagers and girls in the slightest.
On the aft deck, a young girl pounced in the moonlight into Nilkith's arms. Nielkith stroked her long hair gently, and the girl, although a little fat, had not yet reached the point of being bloated.
"That fruit is delicious. The girl said softly.
"They call it a date. β
"By the way, can those people really take us out?"
"At least Sif once said they were key. I trust her judgment, she has never made a mistake over the years. β
The girl's mouth bulged out, and she seemed a little angry. "When it comes to Sif you can do it, you can do it. β
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. She was like our older sister. I can't let go of anyone in my heart except you. β
Even coaxed and deceived, and the girl became happy.
The boy sent the girl back into the cabin and went to the deck alone again. Looking up at the North Wind Star, which was constantly changing positions, he said to himself: "Tomorrow is the key." β
Early in the morning, the explorers boarded the sand island in small boats in small groups.
The crew of the Dorunia was led by Nilchith, a total of 20 people. One of the more striking is a young girl with a princess crown. There is no doubt that she is Adria, Nilchith's fiancΓ©e. Although she herself does not know yet.
Aside from her, Sif was still dressed as an assassin. There is also a female knight in a dress and heavy armor - Arsraia, the captain of the guard of the four princesses. The rest of the personnel were women, female warriors, priestesses, female mages, female archers, and so on. Dress uniformly and look well-trained.
On the other hand, the participants on the Avena seem to be uneven. Female hooligans, female thieves, huntresses, etc., and even dancers who seem to have no combat effectiveness. Not only that, but there is also a male poet mixed in, as well as several male warriors who act as meat shields.
Nielkith had strenuously opposed the involvement of the four princesses in such a dangerous operation. But the escort of the four princesses is only commanded by her, and it is also an indispensable combat power for this expedition. In the end, Nilkith relented. However, the captain of the guard is asked to keep the princess safe, and if necessary, Sif is also involved to help protect her.
