Chapter 120: The Tomb
"You're a nobleman?"
Looking at the serious expression of a certain magical girl that was not like a joke, the silver-haired girl was a little surprised, and her tone was very surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she first came to this magical world, Xia Ye had guessed the true identity of this little girl, but later, as the identity of the other party's magician gradually surfaced, she gave up this similar idea. After all, a magician with mysterious magical powers is more attractive to her than a nobleman or something!
However, at this moment, the magical girl told her with a serious face that she was actually still a nobleman, which couldn't help but make her a little messy.
"You don't believe it?"
Hearing her tone of surprise, Alex seemed to have expected such a reaction, and only asked in a calm tone.
"No, I believe it!"
In this regard, Xia quickly shook his head and accepted this fact: "Actually, with the shameless cunning and cheeky nature of this girl, I should have guessed that you are a nobleman a long time ago." ”
“......”
Hearing this, Alexie's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and her right hand was raised, as if she wanted to push this hateful fellow off the top of the tower, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this could not help this extraordinary fellow, and finally she could only give up angrily.
"With the status of a nobleman, can you make the people of the church retreat?"
Sensing the violent thoughts of a certain magical girl, Natsu no longer spoke to provoke this terrible little girl, but expressed some doubts about the nature of something.
"Hmph, this is the Kingdom of Chirod after all, not the Holy Kingdom of the Church. ”
Alexie had a different idea about this, and explained to her as such: "Especially in the current situation, when the previous old king of the Kingdom of Chirod has just passed away and the new queen has not yet ascended the throne, if the people of the church dare to openly attack the nobles of the Kingdom of Chirod and provoke the sensitive nerves of the nobles of the kingdom, they are undoubtedly digging their own graves!"
"Oh, I see!"
She couldn't help but nodded, perhaps, the aristocratic side of the Qurod Kingdom was actually not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by the hands of the church or witches, they still had their own strength!
"Yes, that's right, so we must not only use our status as nobles, but also go to the royal capital of Bethhampur with great fanfare and openness, and not in any sneaky way, so that the people of the church will not dare to attack us!"
As she spoke, the corners of the magical girl's mouth curved slightly, and a hint of malice was put on a smile: "Perhaps, the people of the church should also pray to their great holy lord, hoping that we will not have an accident on the way, otherwise, they will be in trouble...... Eh, Natsu, do you think we're going to go missing in the middle of the game?"
“...... Well, that's right, I'm more and more convinced that you're a nobleman now!"
Looking at this little girl's malicious black smile, the silver-haired girl just sighed, ignored this guy's proposal, and asked, "Hey, forget it, when will you leave?"
"Humph......"
Seeing that her clever plan was not seconded, Alex seemed a little unwilling, but this little girl quickly stopped dwelling on this, and said a time: "Three days later, before leaving, I still have some things to prepare!"
"Well, okay, you'll come back to me then. ”
In this regard, she nodded, indicating that she knew: "Also, you can leave, now I just want to be alone, oh, don't ask me who Jingjing is......"
“......”
Seeing this guy put on a posture of driving people away, a certain magical girl couldn't help glaring at her, wanting to be angry, but worried that this guy would regret it, and finally stood up: "Hmph, inexplicable!"
With a flash of black-purple light, Alexie vanished from the top of the bell tower.
......
Three days later, the two maidens boarded the magical airship that had flown from Toctor's 'Heimed City' to Albus' 'Capris', a prosperous city they had visited. They then transferred to another Skyship bound for Gistanilling at 'Capris', and finally landed in a city called Belianca.
When she and Alexie walked out of the Magic Skyship Parking Lot, it was already the morning of the fifth day, and among the carriages that stayed near the Magic Skyship Parking Ground, Alexie Dio Raldafe chose a coachman who looked to be some years old, boarded the carriage with her, and said only one place name, but no more.
"Go to Dirkish. ”
She noticed that the coachman's eyes had become strange when he heard the name of the place be pronounced, and he gave him a strange look, but at last the coachman did not say anything, but raised his whip and with a crisp sound, he began the journey in the carriage.
Natsu looked at the expression on Alexie's face, and could only suppress the doubts in her heart for the time being.
Da, da, da......
As time passed, she found that the carriage had gone out of the city and into the outskirts of the city, and gradually, the road below had changed from a stone road to a dirt road, and the carriage had become a little bumpy, and when she looked out of the window, the scenery outside had changed from all kinds of buildings to the same leaves and trees, and the figures became more and more sparse and sparse, and finally, there was no one to be seen for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, the carriage stopped.
She and Alexie got out of the carriage and saw a dense forest outside, but not far from the carriage there was a stone road, one level after another, that zigzagged into the depths of the forest, and there was no end in sight.
"Can you wait here for a while? We'll be out soon, and we'll need to get back in your carriage." ”
Alexie glanced in the direction of the forest, but looked up again to speak to the unknown coachman, and asked in a calm tone.
"Yes, dear young lady, you don't have to hurry! I think I'll be patient. ”
The coachman replied very respectfully, and bowed to Alex.
"Well, thank you. ”
Alexie thanked the coachman, who had aged a few years, and walked down the stone road, up the stairs, step by step into the depths of the forest.
Seeing this, Xia only stopped for a moment, and then took a step to follow.
......
This stone path is not short, but it is not too long, only after more than ten minutes, her eyes suddenly became clear, it turned out, the end of this stone road is an open space, there is no more trees.
It's just that it's not empty, dozens of things made of stone, arranged in neat rows and columns in turn, erected there, but gray and white tombstones.
Without stopping, Alex walked into the forest of tombstones, as if she knew everything about it, until she stopped in front of one of the tombstones.
Then, the magical girl bent down, took out a flower carved from some kind of crystalline stone from her bosom, placed it in front of the tombstone, and finally straightened up, and the girl's gaze fell on this tombstone, and her body remained motionless.
She followed behind Alex and stopped as well, her eyes fixed on the tombstone.
It is very simple, with no ornamentation, almost blank, with only one name engraved in the middle: Dorasena Dio Raldafi.
... Dio Raldafi?
Isn't that the last name of a little girl?
Seeing this, her brows furrowed, and she glanced at the silent Alexie, but she didn't speak, but she had some doubts in her heart: it seems that the surname of this person buried here is the same as this magical girl, and the name 'Dorasena' is also a little feminine, could it be that this is the sister of the little girl... Or other relatives?
However, the look of a certain magical girl made her unbearable to disturb her.
This was the first time she had seen such complex emotions on Alexie's face, some lonely, some lonely, and some longing.
A gust of wind blew, and the nearby trees shook and made a gurgling sound, the only sound that could be heard here.
"This is my mother. ”
Finally, Alexie spoke, but her first words completely overturned the previous speculation in Natsu's heart.
Mother...?!
Could it be that this little girl's name has always been her mother's surname?
"She died when I was five years old...... Now, I can't remember what she looked like. ”
Alexie didn't seem to be aware of her inner thoughts, and just continued in a calm tone: "I just remember, she was a very gentle person, well, very gentle......"
A hint of remembrance flashed in the magical girl's eyes, and she whispered softly.
“......”
She didn't speak, just stood silently beside Alex.
All around, only the sound of trees sounded.
There was another long silence.
"Let's go. ”
Alexie suddenly raised her head and looked at her, her eyes brightened, and the magical girl said to her, and then, in the direction she had come, the girl stepped on the winding stone path again.
Mother... Is it?
Xia took one last look at the gray-white tombstone, silently thought in his heart, and also turned to leave.
Soon, the two were back in front of the carriage outside the jungle.
"Back to Bethrianka. ”
Re-boarding the carriage, Alex instructed the coachman.
The coachman agreed, and then drove the horse, and turned around, and the horse's hooves clattered, and the road from which it had come and went back.
Later, Natsu finally learned what the name of the place Alixie meant to the coachman.
Dilshish, that's the name of that cemetery, which means resting place.
