Halfway up the mountain, Talon and his party were staring blankly at the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just now, they saw a laser cannon with a high concentration of photon energy shoot out of the black dust cloud covering the top of the mountain, scattering the black gravel all around it in one go, and swept to the opposite mountain at an extremely high speed.

A deafening sound came from far and near, and the light of the explosion reflected the dawning canopy even more red, and the concussive fluctuations passed through the surface to the soles of everyone's feet.

Mei Lufa looked down at the faintly trembling earth under her feet, swallowed and looked up, and when she looked at the opposite hill again, she was surprised to find that the height of the mountain was suddenly a lot shorter.

Lutian and the knights looked at each other, and Karen tried to say something, but knew that it would be in vain, so he obediently kept his mouth shut.

"Hurry up...... Daron and the others nodded solemnly as they all nodded solemnly.

The road to the top of the mountain was muddy from the heavy rain that had just fallen, and everyone finally reached the summit with a lot of effort, but when they stood there and looked down, everyone's expressions froze.

As far as the eye can see, the forest of Baili has been razed to a wasteland, and in the center of the wasteland is a crater-like terrain. A young girl in vermilion armor, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind, and her whole person exuded a brilliant white glow and stood in the center of the pit. In the whole room, there was no one else in sight, only the blonde girl stood alone, her eyes level ahead, without a trace of expression on her face.

"It's ...... What's going on?" Valrhona covered her mouth in surprise.

Zazacha frowned, looking at the familiar and strange girl in front of him, and after a while, his eyes casually glanced to the side, and found that Lutian's face had an unprecedented expression. I saw that the polite blonde young man suddenly had his eyes wide open, and his eyes were firmly locked on the girl in the crater. His lips were slightly open, and his gaze swept over the girl's long golden hair and childish face, as if he was assessing something. There was an unconcealed shock in his eyes, and there seemed to be some speculation and suspicion in that shock, which were all seen in Zazacha's eyes.

"With such a similar age and characteristics, is it really ......" Lutian turned his inner thoughts into words and said unconsciously, but this sentence was not heard by anyone.

Cullen and the other knights had already drawn their swords from their sheaths, keeping Lutian in the middle and looking around warily. Kyeloa clenched his fists with a solemn expression, and the blonde girl in front of him seemed to give him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Alicia?" Daron murmured in an uncertain voice, then cautiously strode to get closer.

At this moment, the blonde girl turned her head, and her originally cold expression was relieved after seeing Darlon, and she looked at Darlon's face excitedly, and a smile of relief appeared on her mouth:

"Ain ...... Is that you?"

The girl's expression was like the redemption of a person who had committed a heinous sin, and it was an expression of relief from the bottom of her heart. Daron was stunned by the girl's call, and the person in front of him was not the Alicia he knew.

Then, the girl closed her eyes and fell straight down. The long golden hair returned to its original length, and most of the brilliant white light that emanated from him disappeared as if it had been sucked into her body. But there are also some rays of light that turn into photon fragments and disperse into the air, condensing into crystals of light one by one, falling from the sky. They float down slowly, shaped like white feathers. All of a sudden, the sky was covered with white feathers of light, slowly descending to the ground.

"It's so beautiful...... "Mei Lufa looked at this rare beauty blankly and sighed.

"Alicia!" shouted Daron the moment Alicia fell. The cry sparked Lutien's auditory nerves, causing his expression to change in shock once more.

"Alicia...... Ellie...... Ellie......" Luthien said to herself, as if she was going through a storm. The growing difficulty in calming down prompted him to rush to the girl's side at once, but at this moment a black figure rushed out of the way.

Although the feathers of light were floating in the sky like snow, Daron didn't bother at all at this time, and just rushed straight to the place where Alicia fell.

Behind him, Kyeloa had been staring at the sky for a long time, and although the white feathers that radiated their brilliance seemed beautiful, they didn't seem to be such a friendly substance in his eyes.

Suddenly, Kyeloa's face changed, and he looked at Darron's back with a nervous expression, and the uneasiness in his heart swelled even more. The next moment, he didn't have time to think, and the whole person rushed out.

"Kyeloa?" Zazacha stared at Kyeloa, who looked flustered at this time, and in his memory, the sage had never had such a gaffe.

"Everyone, stay away from those feathers!hurry!" Kylloa shouted without looking back, the expression on his face panicked like never before.

Zazacha took a few big strides after picking up Meluva, Valrhona quickly retreated under the trees at the edge of the wasteland, and Lutian and his men retreated while looking at the sky, the beauty of the slowly falling feathers now a ominous picture.

Kelloa's mouth was full of words during the run, although Daron heard his shout, he still ran to Alicia's side first, just when he wanted to pick up Alicia who fell to the ground, Kelloa actually threw down Daron from behind, and his hands touched the bodies of both Taron and Alicia at the same time, and he screamed without delay:

"Vector Movement!"

Just as the large feathers of light were about to float onto Kelloya's cyan robes, the three of them disappeared from there at the same time like a beam of light, and the next moment, the three of them suddenly appeared under the tree where Valrhona was.

"Wow!" Valrhona exclaimed, she didn't know magic, she only sighed at the effect of the spell, and if she knew the principles of the spell and the difficulty of it like Merusa, she would have been ten times more surprised. Especially now, when Kyllloa pulled the two of them to successfully cast this spell together, something that ordinary mages would not dare to think of, and therefore Melufa was now staring at her mentor with great excitement.

"What the hell is going on, mage?" Karen, puzzled by Kyllloa's orders and actions, walked up, and in his eyes, the feathers were just floating in the air, and he didn't understand why they had retreated here as if they were facing a great enemy.

Realizing that his spell had succeeded, Kyeloa breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look over the wasteland with white feathers flying in the sky, but did not speak.

The feathers continued to descend at a slow pace, as if they didn't care about everyone's thoughts, and the whole world fell silent. It wasn't until one of the feathers finally reached the ground that the silent world changed dramatically.

The first feather that landed on the ground changed shape the moment it touched the ground. The feather-like form was formed by fusing a high concentration of light attribute energy, and such a high-pressure energy was actually very unstable. When the feathers came into contact with the ground, there was vibration and friction, and the unstable energy burst out all at once.

Now, what everyone saw was a blasting effect like an exploding crystal. One by one, the feathers that touched the ground turned into bombs, causing a wave of energy to burst into waves. As if there was a chain reaction, the feathers in the sky also exploded after feeling the energy storm coming from the ground, and suddenly, countless explosive balls of light that emitted dazzling and bright light suddenly appeared in the entire sky, and a series of huge roars sounded like they were about to pierce everyone's eardrums.

"Ah!!h

The knights gathered around Ludian, Daron clung to the sleeping Alicia, and Zazacha walked silently in front of Valrhona. Valrhona raised her eyebrows, looked at Zazacha's broad back in some surprise, and when she realized that the other party was actually protecting her, a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Some of the feathers were blown by the storm caused by the explosion, and Kyeloa quickly slapped his hand on Mervia's shoulder, using the drainage to prop up a ten-foot-high ice magic shield.

The blown feathers detonated one after another in front of the huge ice shield that Kylloa had summoned, and the ice shield was cut in large chunks at once, and Kylloa hurriedly continued to chant to reinforce it.

A group of people looked at the feathers of light that exploded in front of their eyes, and they were all too frightened to speak. Just now, the world that was as beautiful as heaven has suddenly become a purgatory on earth.

The storm of the explosion lasted for quite some time before it gradually subsided. The commotion caused all the animals in the mountain to scurry, and all the birds temporarily left the mountain for refuge.

Meluva shuddered and curled up on the ground, slowly raising her head when she noticed that the sound of the explosion had finally died down. Her glasses were tilted to the side, but even so, she could clearly see the devastated landscape in front of her.

The ground was full of holes and craters of various sizes, all of which were caused by the explosion of the feathers of light when they hit the ground. The feathers that exploded close to them burst the ground, exposing the roots of plants and trees from the ground.

Daron crouched on the ground with Alicia in his arms, his eyes wandering as if he were looking for the reality of his existence. Stunned for a moment, Daron looked down and immediately began to confirm Alicia's status. To Darlon's reassurance, her chest was slowly heaving, and she was breathing steadily.

“...... This guy made such a big commotion, and he still slept so soundly. Daron said this with a sigh of relief.

Zazacha also rushed over at this time, and there was another person who rushed towards him at the same speed, and that was Lutian.

Luthien studied Alicia's face closely, and Zazacha remembered the expression he had just shown, and stood by with some wariness.

However, Luthien just stared at Alicia's face and let time pass.

Seeing this, Valrhona quietly walked over to Cullen's side and poked him in the elbow.

"What are you doing?!" asked Cullen, who immediately jumped to the side.

"I say, does your master have a crush on us?" asked Valrhona with a malicious smile.

Cullen walked away wordless, as if unwilling to answer. Valrhona, bored, stuck out her tongue, and then, as if remembering something, looked in all directions and asked:

"Where's that obnoxious red hair?"

At this time, Daron and his party realized this, and there was no sign of Arato's figure everywhere in this place.

"I don't understand, did he make Alicia like this?" asked Daron as he looked at the only person on the scene who might know the truth.

"I think we'll have to wait for Alicia to wake up and tell us herself. But Kylloa gave a pertinent answer.

"What were those feathers?" asked Valrhona, twisting her soft waist.

"I think those were the magic in Alicia's body. Didn't we see the white light that haunted Alicia before she passed out, some of it returned to her body, and some of it was scattered into the air?" Kyeloa speculated.

"It seems like that's the case. Daron recalled.

"I suspect that the feathers that are scattered into the air are the magic that spills out of excess after being absorbed into the air, and when they are dispersed into the air, they form the crystals of Mana, but because they are not gathered and reassembled, the structure becomes so unstable. Kylloa explained in words that the fighters didn't understand.

"So, do you mean that girl's magic is so powerful that it overflows? and it's such a huge ......" Surprisingly, there was one person present who could follow Kyeloa's explanation.

Everyone tilted their heads to the serious-looking man, and his expression became slightly unpleasant as he took the gaze.

"That's right, Lord Karen, she is a person with a holy innate attribute. Kylloa nodded to the man.

"You mean the same as the Holy Maiden of Light?"

"Exactly. ”

"It's a miracle......"

The others looked at each other because they couldn't keep up with the conversation between the two.

"Daron, am I stupid, or do they not speak the language I know?" Zazacha asked the man next to him.

"I don't want to admit that it's the former, otherwise, wouldn't that prove that I'm on the same level of intelligence as you?" said Darron.

"Oh~?I can hear this sentence very clearly, it seems that you guy's itchy skin, isn't it?" said Zazacha as he pulled out his wrist.

Can't the two of them say three words properly?—Valrhona shook her head helplessly, while Meleva smiled awkwardly.

Lutien ignored the others' conversations, and never took his eyes off Alicia until now.

Valrhona walked up curiously, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a wicked smile at Luthien before Cullen shouted "Rude!":

"Brother Childe, have you seen enough?"

Lutien only came to his senses at this time, and smiled sheepishly, but his cheeks did not show the flush that Valrhona had expected.

"I'm sorry, I'm thinking about things. So, now that your companions have been rescued, what are you going to do after that?"

Daron and Kyloa glanced at each other at the question. Originally, this son's fate with them ended here, but according to his question, he seemed to be very concerned about the actions of Dalong and his party in the future.

"Thank you very much for your help to us, Lord Lutian, and I apologize for delaying your trip. Kyeloa bowed slightly to Lutien, and there was a hint of saying goodbye in his words.

"What do you mean, we didn't help at all, did we?" said Luthian with a wry smile. Indeed, from the beginning to the present, they have only followed them in Talon.

"We're so grateful that you have the heart. Kyeloa bowed slightly, his intentions evident.

Luthian frowned, and his eyes looked at Alicia again, Zazacha was very puzzled by this, it seemed that this blonde young man had always had a strong interest in Alicia. This interest may not start from the attraction between the opposite sex, but something deeper.

"What the hell do you want to do?" at this time, Zazacha asked Luthian coldly, causing the latter's expression to freeze.

"What do you mean?" Lutian kept his smile, but there was a hint of a smile missing from that face.

"I've been watching you, you seem to be interested in Alicia, what do you want to do with her?" Zazacha said coldly, with a strong sense of sabre-rattling.

"Oh, what's wrong? Brother Childe really ...... to the little girl" Valrhona deliberately made an exaggerated gesture to cover her mouth, and Daron didn't know what to say to her like this.

Lutian remained silent under Zazacha's questioning, and only stared at him indifferently. Ka Ethics naturally inserted between the two of them, and stood in front of Zazacha and shouted:

"What do you mean by that? We are kind enough to help you, is that your attitude?"

"Then please let your master explain his reason clearly, he seems to have been hiding something, haven't you noticed?" said Zazacha with a sneer.

In fact, Cullen himself had already noticed that Lutian had been a little different from his usual treatment of these people from the beginning. Cullen couldn't say what it was, but he just felt it. Now that he was worn by Zaza's refreshments, he suddenly became speechless.

Daron thought back to all of Lutien's actions so far, and felt that Zazacha made a lot of sense.

Kyllloa looked at the silent Lutian with some deep eyes, and Mei Lufa's panicked little eyes jumped around these people, in her opinion, who didn't understand the development of the situation, the group of people who had been getting along well just suddenly fell out and turned into a quarrel.

"Huh. ”

Lutian was silent for a long time before finally speaking. He opened the next words with a light smile:

"You say I'm hiding something, so why aren't you?"

"We?" asked Darlon.

"Yes, why didn't you say that your companion had been kidnapped at first, but only that he was lost? You don't want to cause trouble, that's what I helped you with at the time, but what is the real situation?" Lutian smiled slightly, "I suddenly had a thought, could it be that you don't want others to come into contact with this companion of yours, and to be honest, whether this girl is your companion or not cannot be confirmed during the time she was unconscious. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Daron with a sinking look in his eyes. The atmosphere became tense with Ludian's words, and Daron and the knights confronted each other in two factions.

"Alicia ......" At this time, the sun had completely climbed into the sky, casting a shadow on Lutian's face, and the blonde young man groaned slightly, and then put on a bright smile and asked, "Is this her real name?"

"Boom!"

In the next moment, Daron jerked to his feet and drew his greatsword behind his back.
