109 Chinese New Year's Eve
Ephemeris 1359 December 31. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
β...... This little ghost. β
Lynn picked up the piece of paper on her desk and looked at it for a moment before shaking her head helplessly.
"I don't have anything to do today, I won't be back until tomorrow morning, please take care of your own safety, and after that, I'll tell you everything I've been hiding. β
On the paper, such a sentence was written, and after this, Lin did not see the owner of this note in the ephemeris 1359.
Is, a child picked up from the street. When the two first met, Lin didn't actually have any suspicions about him, thinking that he was just a mischievous ghost who accidentally went astray. But as they spent more time together, just as Iss discovered that Lin was a blood clan, Lin also discovered a little secret.
First of all, Isis is certainly not an ordinary person, as can be seen from the discord between Phoenix and him at the beginning. And then...... During the previous Knights Recruitment Tournament, he taught himself a trick called "Shadow Flash", which Shadow Ghost had used in front of him.
At the time, the Shadow Ghost had said that a friend had taught him this, and Iss had said something about it. If this swordsmanship is really as invincible as Isis said, then the "friend" of the two is likely to be the same person, and even the two of them may know each other.
Friends with demons, what will Iss be?
"Really, tell me that I'm fine, you don't hate me as a blood clan, how can I care that you're a demon. β
Lynn put the note back on the table, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Lynn, it's time for breakfast. β
Outside the door, Fias's voice was heard.
"Got it, I'll be right away. β
Lin answered, put down the note in her hand and was about to go out.
"Bang-"
"Ouchβ"
Lynn accidentally tripped over a chair, and when she fell, an object that had been placed on the table fell and hit her head.
"Painful ......"
Lynn covered her bag's head and stood up with one hand.
"What's wrong? Why is it so loud?"
Fias pushed open the door and looked at the embarrassed girl in confusion.
"It's okay...... I just fell and was hit by something......"
Lin said, putting the thing back on the table, patting herself, and brushing her somewhat messy hair by the way.
"This ...... What is it?"
Fias looked at Lynn and asked slowly.
"Ah...... It's an hourglass......"
There was an appliance on the table, and it was a golden hourglass.
It is small and delicate, and its appearance is almost the same as that of a regular hourglass, but if you look closely, you will see that the falling sand inside is shining golden.
"It's so pretty......"
Fias half-crouched down and looked at the ornament with an obsessive glow in his eyes.
"Where did it come from?"
"Uh...... This one...... This ......"
Speaking of the history, Lin is a little embarrassed, if she wants to say why......
It was something from her obnoxious father.
...............................................................................................................
"Huha......"
Lin, who was sitting in the seat, threw away the pen in her hand and went straight to the table in front of her.
"Hard work"
Fias walked over and gently patted Lynn on the shoulder and comforted.
"Uh......h I'm not convinced, why don't you even need to take the exam, just because you got a full score in the entrance test, you have such a high salary. β
"Don't say it, if you are stupid, you have to learn more. β
Fias said and reached out and gently stroked Lynn's head a few times, his eyes full of love.
"Hey, Fias...... What's the matter with your eyes that seem to care for fools......"
"Isn't it?"
"I'm just not good at learning!"
Lin jumped up from her chair and yelled dissatisfied.
"I'll say that after you pass the exam......"
Fias said this, and turned his gaze to the red-haired girl who was packing up.
"Let's go back first, Lin, don't you still have an appointment today?"
β......β
Looking down at Fias, he met Claire's gaze.
His complexion is ruddy, his hair is well organized, and he looks much better than he was yesterday.
But......
"Lynn, see you later. β
Claire smiled, sweetly, but ......
But there is an inexplicable creepy feeling.
β...... Okay, see you later. β
Lin answered, signaling that she already knew.
Claire bent down, bowed to Lynn's side, and left the noisy classroom alone.
Lynn ...... Claire's classmate...... She...... It's kind of scary......"
Fias subconsciously leaned towards Lin, and his free right hand also clutched the corner of Lin's clothes, and his petite body trembled slightly.
After all, Lin is only small on the outside, but she is still much stronger than Fias on the inside, and children will subconsciously seek support from people who are "older" than themselves in this more frightened situation.
And Lin is the "elder" who gained Fias's trust in the previous battle of shadows and ghosts.
β......β
Lin didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the girl's departing back, and her blue pupils became deep for a while.
...............................................................................................................
"Now! I announce! Chinese New Year's Eve has officially begun!"
As Ovilia's words fell, the atmosphere of the entire Returning Moon City was stirred up to the extreme in an instant, and under the light of the red moon that slowly rose into the sky, every inhabitant and every traveler in the city went crazy.
But...... None of this is about Is, who is outside the city......
"Hey......"
Throwing the last vial of blood on the ground, Iss sat down on the ground and wiped the sweat from his head.
"Hey...... It's a bit hard to get these things here......"
On the ground, there were the corpses of dozens of strange beasts, each covered in blood, with white eyes and a terrible death, as if they had been cursed by some painful curse.
"In the city...... It's really lively...... I don't know what she's doing now......"
Looking at the brightly lit Guiyue City not far away, Is's heart was a little shaken for a while.
For a moment, just a moment, she really had the idea of giving up all this to be with Lynn forever.
But......
"It's impossible......"
Isis smiled bitterly and looked up, raising his hands and reaching out to the sky.
"This wonder is my last gift to you!
