Chapter 36: Laughing Like Twilight

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and terrifying, except that Akachi was completely unaffected as an outsider, and he even poured himself some drinks, and then sat from afar and watched the white sparrows worry about the worsening situation. In fact, there is an easy way for these people to get out www.biquge.info of trouble, as Akachi mentioned when he first came downstairs, as long as he puts himself into the hands of any politician of d'Estaing's faction by reasonable means, the white sparrows can immediately disarm the alarm, and he doesn't mind being abandoned anyway.

Akachi turned the cup in his hand, and he looked at the barley and pine needles floating in the tea. It was at this point that Egger's words broke the deadlock.

"We need to go back to the library right now!" Egg cried out hoarsely, "There's only so much you can do in this stupid place, most of my babies are in the library, I can't make a way out without them!

These words immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of all the white sparrows, and Ora prepared to set off as fast as he could, Icco and Lusman instantly became Ig's helpers, and Akachi was caught in the carriage back to the library in a daze. However, the rush of the journey eventually took on an ominous air, and as the carriage pulled out of the alley, everyone heard a chirp, which Akachi knew was a signal for the top scouts of the Guard to contact each other when they discovered the situation, and he knew that they were almost always from the fringe of society, the Sentry Arrow, who was skilled in reconnaissance and hunting.

The sound of the carriage sounded twice, and the sound of the night owl forced Ola to urge the poor black horse fiercely, and the others in the canopy were shaken to the side, and Lusman muttered "Oh my God!", and Iger slipped into Ekko's body, but Akachi stretched out his arm to stop him, otherwise the skinny old fellow would have to roll over.

Fortunately, the urging sound never sounded again, and when the iconic little bell tower of the Huanshan Library appeared in front of everyone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon returning to the library, everyone immediately discovers that the former habitat has traces of an outsider's visit. Looking at the open doors and the wind-blown papers, poor Iger rushed into his storage room with a pale face, but his excitement proved to be unnecessary, because of the "garbage" piled up in this room As intact as the books in the library, it seemed that the men who were tracking them were targeting Akachi, and they had no idea of Egger's hobby of invention, so they didn't pay any attention to the lacquered cloth stacked here, the thick rattan basket that could hold four people, and the metal stand welded by four bars of cast iron.

Slightly relieved, Egger exercised the command he had agreed upon as if he were tightening a clockwork, after all, judging from what had happened in the previous moment, they were already suspected of revealing their whereabouts! In this regard, Akachi, who was once an assassin under the command of the Quenching Demon Dagger and embellished with the title of Great Evil, smiled indifferently.

With the great cooperation of everyone, the clutter in the storage room was quickly moved to the open space on the east side of the library, and the initial assembly was completed with the equipment unloaded from the carriage. Looking at the rattan basket assembled with all kinds of strange parts, and the lacquered cloth that was stretched into a balloon, Icao, whose brow was always tightly knit because of worry, finally couldn't help but ask, "Egger, can you tell me what we're doing here?"

"Of course, it's to find a way to fly over Desting. After all, the way out on the ground is not easy. ”

Except for Lusman, who had long been accustomed to his old friends who would make shocking remarks from time to time, the eyes of the others, including Akaqi, could not help but wander between Egger and the things on the ground, and this star-like gaze made Iger look very useful for a moment.

He coughed lightly in a pretended reserve, and added, "This thing was prototyped when I left Mufa City, and it may be the first time to carry people." In addition, the feeling of flying in the sky may not be as good as you imagined, there are also air currents in the sky, and there may be some bumps, which is the same as a boat at sea encountering big waves, and if you don't get it, the boat will capsize!"

Listening to Egger's explanation, Akachi smiled silently, he had never been in contact with either the air currents in the air or the waves on the sea, and he did not understand what Iger was talking about about the bumps. But for some reason, Akachi felt that it would be a feeling of freedom, and freedom was something he did not dare to hope for.

"Okay, I know you're an invention genius in the academy, and you haven't missed a single shot yet, so stop wasting time scaring people, and let's talk about what to do next. Lusman urged, and then a blower slipped into his hand.

"With everyone inflating the balloon, I'll have to check the other parts of the aircraft?" said Egg, who was interrupted.

Iger examined the various instruments attached to the rattan basket, including the flint machine on the ignition burner, the damper on the main burner, the weather vane with a compass, the sandbags hanging around the gondola, the insignificant tail rudder, and the altimeter that needed to be tested after lift-off, he had no doubt that most people couldn't read these things, and if he had time, he should have explained to the guys around him that this kind of flying machine called a hot air balloon could send people into the sky, and it wasn't magic. But now he could only urge everyone to hurry up and inflate the balloon with a blower. You know, who knows if the palpitating chirp will suddenly sound from their side, and who knows if there will be a pack of flesh-eating wolves attacking them when they are at their most vulnerable.

After refueling the balloon, the flames on the main burner slowly warmed the air inside the balloon, and it didn't take long for a huge sphere suspended above the rattan basket to become a new landscape of the Huanshan Library. However, it was at this time that Iger made an announcement that surprised the others.

"This aircraft can only carry four people. In fact, Load Four is already overloaded...... I mean, there's one guy who has to go on his own. ”

Iger glanced at Ora meaningfully. If there is anyone who is best suited to stay, it can only be Ola. After all, she is a woman, and as long as she passes through the screening checkpoints of the guards, she can get out of the city smoothly. However, he was reluctant to say such hurtful words about driving people away, so Iger squeezed his eyes at Lusman and motioned for his old friend to explain to Ola. But Egger looked at him several times, and the feedback he received was always Lusman's all-round indifference, which made Egger very angry but unable to attack on the spot.

Akachi looked at the two old men who were making eye contact, and instantly understood their decision to leave Ola behind, of course, these people did not mean to leave their companions, but only needed to be separated from each other for the time being. But at the thought of Ola, who couldn't speak, going out of the city alone, and going through an unclear gender screening checkpoint beforehand, Akachi felt uncomfortable for no reason, and he moved his gaze to Ola, silently watching Ola, who suddenly came to his senses, walking towards the carriage.

"Ora!"

Akachi suddenly called out to Ola, and the girl turned around, her lake-blue eyes flashing with a hint of puzzlement in addition to the color of vigilance, and the others also looked at the abrupt Akachi with curious and contemplative eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly wanted to say something.

Ignoring the others, Akachi looked Ola in the eye in fascination, and then pinched the girl as she was about to turn her head and leave, shouting, "The great evil is a crime framed!"

It's not about thanking Ola for taking care of and rescuing her, it's not about apologizing for her excesses, it's not about wishing Ola a smooth journey, and it's not about missing her. Akachi himself couldn't figure out why he had said such a strange goodbye to the girl in front of him. But he just wanted to say it for no reason, and he did, because only then could he feel relieved. Then, Akachi saw a smile in Ola's eyes.

For example, it is like morning dew, and it is like a momentary smile in the twilight.

For the first time, he discovered that Ola's eyes could also be colorful and unpredictable. Does that smile mean "I already knew"? or does it mean that the girl can finally let down her unnecessary vigilance and begin to accept herself like any other white sparrow?

Akachi watched Aura ride away on a dark horse, and suddenly felt a slight palpitation.
