Chapter 256: A Companion in the Dark

Ellie licked the honey cake, and though she didn't count me, she didn't seem to be in a good mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not from her drooping ears.

But......

This feeling has passed through the soul link to my heart.

Coming in through the gate of the complex, I turned a few corners and approached the staircase where my house was.

I've been hesitating whether to ask Elle what was bothering her.

However, it seems that there is no need to ask.

Ellie's magic has almost cooled down, and it takes extraordinary energy to cast magic with such magic.

Even an ordinary magic spell would be very difficult for her.

Elle, who has always prided herself on super-large-scale magic, could not be happy in this situation.

"Ellie, why don't I deliver her a letter with the little worm that Master Cecelia gave her?"

The little guy stopped and licked his lips before slowly looking back at me.

"Well...... It's a solution, too, but that bug was supposed to be used in times of crisis."

"Well, it's true, but now that you're like this, isn't it a time of crisis for me?"

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

The little guy scratched his head embarrassedly.

Hey, I'm not complimenting you.

"But"

The little guy said as he stared at me with a serious look.

"Let's keep that, I don't like my mother to see me like this."

"So what to do?"

"Wait, someone will always come to us, such as Linda"

That's right.

Poof-

A light brown glow emerged from inside the stairwell.

It scared me a lot.

Whew――

The opening of the door magic.

Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, there is finally a spirit to appear in front of us.

But......

Linda's door magic is golden, right?

With his right hand, he grabbed my tiger tooth dagger from his thigh.

"Who!?"

I subconsciously asked a rhetorical question, and I was ready to meet the enemy.

Huhuhu-

As the door opened, a small gust of wind gathered from around and filled the inside of the door.

Immediately after, a man in a black coat appeared in the shadows of the stairwell.

Saying...... Big cap!

I know this hat!

"You!?"

He cocked up his fingers and made a shush motion.

I'm really stunned, this person can actually do magic?

In other words, from the first moment he entered the interrogation room, he could always see Ellie.

So why does he not pierce me, but release me?

"Liu Xiaoqing, is it?"

I nodded dumbfoundedly.

"I'm Li Guoqing"

As he spoke, he took out a document from the pocket of his coat and lit it up.

National security.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

I asked reflexively.

The man who called himself Li Guoqing did not move, and his face was always hidden in the shadows, so that people could not see his expression clearly.

There was no body language on his body, and it was impossible to read his thoughts and emotions from the outside.

This person...... Much more advanced than the inquisitor.

Just as I was wondering, out of the shadows that loomed behind him, another figure came out.

It was almost as tall and as wide as Li Guoqing, completely hidden behind him.

Anyway, there were two people standing in front of me who didn't even notice it, and this was the first time for me.

My heart was shaken.

The guy was wearing a long taupe cloak and wrapped himself tightly.

He lifted his two hands from under his cloak and removed his hood.

A face of an elf.

"You're his host?"

Ellie asked in a curious tone.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness Princess Elice Heranna, I'm Max Spruce"

It turned out to be the people of the Dawn Mountains.

Whew――

I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down the knife in my hand.

"I'm here to ask you, why did your magic dissipate?"

The elf had a standard elongated face, and its ears looked alert and noble.

His long hair was neatly combed and braided into small braids and fell behind him.

His eyes glowed with a light brown glow, and he seemed very worried.

"Uh......"

Ellie sat on my shoulder and shook her head.

"I don't know why"

"That's right"

Ellie said that there was a sudden interest here.

"Can you take me back to the Dawn Mountains?"

There was a slight surprise on the face of the elf named Max.

"Absolutely"

The savior is finally here.

Then you can go back to the Dawn Mountains.

If you stay in the human world, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure out the reason why Ellie's magic is gradually cooling for the rest of your life, but in the Dawn Mountains.

There is hope!

"Can you bring me one?"

I blurted out.

If Ellie is in trouble, I don't want to lie alone in my room reading comics.

At the very least, at the very least, it should be with her.

Just as she was with me many times when I was in trouble.

"Don't Forget Me"

A familiar voice came from the stairs.

It scared my heart pounding.

"Liu Xiao!?"

This sister, who is usually not happy to even take one more step, has now walked downstairs.

And...... Making the expression I'm most afraid of-

Liu Xiao stared at me with a straight face.

"If that's the case, then I need a big portal and need enough time to prepare"

"Well, it doesn't matter"

Ellie waved her hand and continued to lick her cake with a pleasant expression, as if everything had been done.

"By the way, the last moment......"

I suddenly reacted.

Why did Ellie's Grenade Sky Fall magic, with my control, not hit the target at all, but finally hit the high-speed missile.

"We have found that Her Royal Highness has turbulence and is very weak in her magic, and the spells that control her magic are getting weaker and weaker."

"So I connected a lot of people together and controlled the magic of Her Royal Highness the Princess"

At this point, he bowed his head slightly to Elle as if apologizing.

"A lot of people?"

The elf nodded.

"There are many Overseers from the Dawn Mountains in your country"

I've heard of this for a long time, but I didn't expect it to exist so close.

And...... It has already penetrated such a critical department.

This big cap turned out to be a psychic medium.

"Then why didn't you come in the first place?"

I asked, half-grumbling and half-confused.

"It's our fault"

The big cap spoke.

Unexpectedly, a person of his position and status would admit his mistakes so frankly.

"We've been paying attention to Kong Yunlei for a long time, but his comrades haven't appeared, so we've always wanted to take a long-term view."

"But when it came time to enter the competition, he slyly dumped us"

"By the time we find his traces again, it's time for you to be wanted"

That's when Kong Yunlei began to surface and began to make his final move.

No wonder he would personally go into battle to confront Wang Yun, it turned out that at that time he himself knew that he had been cornered.

"That's right"

I suddenly remembered something very important.

"That barbarian, he fled back to the Aurora World with the data related to the nuclear bomb"

The elf standing in front of us suddenly frowned.

"I'll speed up the preparation of the portal spell"

"Well, I want to ask again, what about Xia Yumiao?"

"She's been brought home"

Got home?

In other words, it wasn't Li Guoqing who helped?

The big cap seemed to see my doubts at a glance.

"She is very good at divination, and there are people in the top echelons of the central army who endorse her"

Oh...... Not surprising at all.

People who can spy on the torrent of the world are not so popular that they are strange.

"What about Wang Yun and Li Tangtang?"

"They are all snakes and stinky stones, and there are many ways to save their lives, and we will not entangle with them"

Ay...... Among the group of people who stopped Kong Yunlei, I was the only one who was a soft persimmon.

No, no, I'm not- is there Ellie?

Thinking of this, I smiled at Ellie with relief.

The little one blinked twice in confusion.

"Huh?"
