Volume 1 The Lost Wings Chapter 1 XIII

"What's wrong? What's on my face? ”

Since the air thief who claimed to be Basalomew was taken down by the guards, Isa's "ambiguous" gaze never left Angelus's face.

"Nothing. I just think I was surprised to find out your true colors today. ”

"Go and go. Don't make the little girl look like she knows me well, and I just met you for the first time today. ”

Angrost emphasized the word "today".

"Uh......" Isha narrowed her neck slightly.

- I was caught by this guy again.

Although Isha and Angelus had only met for a few hours. But for some reason, there was always a bickering between the two of them.

"Demons." Isha muttered a little mouth, looking very cute, "Quick! Turn around and let me see if you have a black tail behind your ass. ”

"You and I are a monster!"

"That's what it was."

Isa's words were approved by all the crew members around her, who nodded in unison.

"You! You guys! ”

Angelus pointed at Isha with a hurt face, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

"What? Am I wrong? Isha looked innocent at the nearest crew.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, no! The crew member froze for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle.

The one who walked in with the "murder tea" just now seems to be this eldest lady......

"See? I'm not wrong. You're a monster! ”

Isha looked at Angelus's brow-twitching expression and was happy to finally get one back.

"Monster...... Is it? ……”

For some reason, Angelus's expression suddenly darkened.

"Hey! What happened to you? Isa turned her head suspiciously, "Why are you out of energy after just a few words?" Isn't it...... Got a fever? As she spoke, she reached out and touched Angelus's forehead, "There's no fever." What's wrong? ”

"Heh, hehe...... Nothing ......," Angelus chuckled dryly.

At this time, the electronic sound of "drip, drip" suddenly came. Angelus perked up and immediately looked down at the communication bracelet.

The content of the information is a landscape travelogue of about 500 words. However, after using the code analyzer on the communication bracelet, the real content of the information appears.

The content is only two words - for help.

Angros had lived in Harast Fortress for a year and was well aware of the garrison fleet. The fastest floating ship in the fortress is the Elsaiyu-class high-speed cruiser Aurora. But even if the fortress learns that the Jewel Princess has been hijacked by air thieves and immediately sends the Aurora Star to the rescue, it will take at least two hours to reach the current airspace. And in two hours, it was enough to ransack this cruise ship twice.

- Then why didn't the air thieves do it?

Angelus has always thought about this.

After regaining control of the ship, the guards immediately counted the killed and captured air thieves. They found that there were only seventy air thieves on board. Of these, nineteen were supposed to be on board, and the other fifty-one were boarded in careful floats.

But it's been more than an hour between the internal response on the Jewel Princess and the counterattack by the guards. Why didn't the air thieves choose to complete the gangside connection in about ten minutes, but used the float boat to transport more than 50 people to the ship without pain? The Jewel Princess is a big fish, so why didn't they send more men?

And until now, that floating ship is still ...... Wrong!

Angelus suddenly noticed that something seemed to light up on the floating ship.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fast! Get off the bridge now! Evacuate everyone! …… It's late! Lie down! Lie down! ”

Angelus rolled over and threw Isha to the ground.

The reaction of the crew was also very fast, and almost everyone immediately threw away what they were in their hands and fell to the ground.

There was a loud "boom". The entire upper part of the bridge was overturned in its entirety. A bitter cold wind then swept across the bridge. The strong wind pressure pressed everyone to the ground, unable to move at all.

Just when the crew felt like they were about to suffocate, the raging wind suddenly stopped.

"Quick! Get off the bridge now! ”

Angelus lifted Isha with one hand, while keeping his palms up and his fingers together with the other. The brilliance that symbolizes the arcane is blooming with dazzling brilliance in his hands.

"Quick! Move fast! ”

The crew immediately got up desperately and rushed out of the bridge.

After all the surviving crew members escaped from the bridge, the emergency gate closed. Less than half of the more than a dozen crew members survived. Most of those who failed to escape were swept away by the wind at the moment when they were shot on the bridge.

"The left side of the ship is lower in the middle, the second engine on the left, and the bridge. A total of three places were shot. Isha's little hand tugged at Angelus. Although she was not injured, a small face turned pale with fright, "They're ready to fire again...... And、And it's the biggest ...... in the bow."

"Engine room! Engine room! Angelus calmly opened the communication bracelet.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Chirping...... What's ......?"

There was only a pointless murmur in the communication bracelet, as if there was a powerful source of interference around it.

"Huh!" Angelus slammed his fist hard against the wall, "...... Go to the second bridge at once, and from there contact the engine room and ask them to arrange for repairs immediately! He grabbed a crew member and pulled him to his eyes, "Tell the chief engineer that rescue will be there soon!" Let him persevere at all costs! Remember! Do whatever it takes! ”

"Yes!"

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the smoky passage.

It wasn't until the last crew member disappeared into the tunnel that Angelus's body shook slightly, and he sat down weakly, his face losing its blood.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Blood? Isha suddenly felt that her hands were wet, and when she looked down, her hands were covered with blood! Only then did she notice that Angelus had a sharp piece of metal stuck in his left shoulder, "...... Yes! A panicked scream suddenly resounded throughout the passage.

"Quiet!" A low shout finally stopped Isha's "sonic bomb", but then Angelus's words sent her into a panic again, "Unplug it." Hurry up. ”

"No...... I don't dare ......," Isa's little face turned whiter.

"No, there's nothing you don't dare...... Come on, I know...... You can do it. ”

Looking at Angelus' weak smile, Isha only felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

"Okay, okay. I'll try. Pushing back the thought of turning and running, Isha carefully grasped the blood-stained piece of metal.

At least one-third of the metal is in the meat, and it is not easy to remove. Isa's little face turned red, and she couldn't pull it out after several efforts, but it made Angelus inhale in pain.

"Hard!"

Angelus suddenly let out a loud shout. Isha panicked, and unconsciously pushed her hand upward. Only a "poof" sound was heard, and the metal piece came from the shoulder. Bright red blood gushed out, staining the entire sleeve of his shirt in the blink of an eye.

"You take a rest first, and I'll go find a doctor right away."

Isha scrambling to help hold the wound down. With a "bang", she tore off a large piece of fabric from her skirt and pierced it above the wound with all her might.

"No, don't...... There's no time left, Isa. Listen to me......" Angelus struggled to stop the bleeding with his uninjured right hand over the wound. A weak smile appeared on his face, which had lost a lot of blood and was slightly pale, "...... Actually, what the air thief is looking for is you...... No, it should be a goblin named Atropos. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Isa's expression changed slightly. Eventually, though, she nodded in acknowledgement.

"Huh...... And it's no wonder. Laxis, Cloves, and you. Having any of the three goddesses of destiny would be enough to turn the whole world upside down......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it? Isa's voice was astringent, but she then pretended not to care, "Didn't you say that you had already made a contract with Sister Laxis." Why didn't you rule the world? There was a certain emptiness in her cheerful tone, "Don't talk nonsense! Let me go, I'll get a doctor first!" ”

"No...... Actually, you're the best doctor. ”

"Me? …… Do you want to ...... No, don't! ”

Isha jumped up with emotion, and the wound that had basically stopped bleeding was oozing again in her fierce reaction.

"Isa, no...... Atropos. I don't know how you woke up, but ...... It's certainly not a good memory......" Angelus gasped.

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration of the ship's hull. Isha stumbled and fell heavily on top of Angelus.

Apparently, the shelling of the air thieves hit the cruise ship again.

"Woo......" Angelus let out a wail, apparently from a wound in his shoulder.

"Ahh I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

"Actually...... The rescue of the Harast Fortress will take at least two hours to come......"

"What! What did you just say...... "A look of surprise flashed across Isa's face, but she regained her composure.

As a goblin, Isha has far more knowledge than ordinary people. She easily deduced Angelus' intentions to conceal the news.

"Isa...... In fact, there is no choice for you...... Become a captive of the air thieves? Or is it to be my wing? …… It shouldn't be too difficult to choose......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you threatening me? Isa's face was clouded.

"No...... I'm just telling the facts. Angelus gasped and pressed his right hand against the wound in his left shoulder. With a slight effort, he only heard a "pop", and the entire sleeve of his shirt stained red with blood was torn off by him, "Laxis has chosen me as her master." With her pact, Clovy, and you, are actually my wings......" Angelus squeezed his wound hard, a self-deprecating smile on his convulsive face, "I met her sister before I could find Laxis...... The goddess of fate is really not thin on me, hehe......"

"Don't be self-inflicted, I didn't admit that you are my master!"

"Isa...... Time is running out......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hum! Isha turned her head and struck a posture that I wouldn't listen to any matter what she said, "You're going to be with me." And then clean up the guys outside? Stop dreaming! Without a tacit understanding of the master and the goblin, he can't even exert the ability of ordinary standard wings! ”

"How can you jump to conclusions without trying...... And ......"

"And what?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whether it's you or me, we don't have a choice......"

Isha turned her head sharply, her sharp gaze like a shadowless sword, pointed at Angelus. After a moment, she slowly withdrew her gaze, and her originally energetic little face looked extremely gloomy.

"Hand me over. Hand me over to the air thief. Such...... This can at least be exchanged for the safety of this ship......"

"No!" Without even thinking about it, Angrus flatly vetoed, "I'd rather kill you now than let you fall into the hands of those beasts!" ”

It could be seen from the young man's determined expression that he was not trying to scare people.

Isha stared blankly at Angelus, who made such a declaration. A special feeling kept pouring out of her heart and quietly occupied the girl's heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you. Isha lowered her head, masking her expression.

"I ......"

"No, needless to say. I'm willing to ......" The girl raised her head, her pretty little face shining with joy, "Come on......"

Isha cautiously sat into Angelus' arms. In order to maintain his balance, his hands naturally hugged Angelus. The distance between the two suddenly disappeared, and Isha could even see her slightly flushed face in Angelus's eyes. In a slight panic, Isha raised her head slightly, and then closed her eyes tightly.

(What's wrong?) It's so hot on the face...... οΌ‰

However, after waiting for a long time, the expected ceremony never came. Isha opened her eyes with a little annoyance, no longer bothering to hide her shyness.

"You ......"

Eyes met, and a feeling that had never been experienced before took over all of Isa's senses. The pupils that were close at hand were as deep and quiet as an abyss, and instantly made her forget to complain and forget everything. In the moment when she was distracted, a deep kiss came from her lips.

In a trance, Isha seemed to hear the young man's gentle voice ringing in her ears: "Please allow me, have your future......"
