Anton followed Chonggo and Lan Yue and helped Rong Ruo to the attic.

Looking at the extraordinarily weak girl, Anton couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Dan Huangsheng, having such a daughter must be a headache.

There were only twenty-two steps up the attic, but they walked for a long time, not only because they were holding Rong Ruo, but also because it was where Ling spent the last days of her short life.

When he first heard the news of Rei's death, he thought he had misheard, but he didn't. He still remembered that when he and Xinghe left, the girl was in a wheelchair, enduring the bleak autumn wind, insisting on seeing them off, and she smiled and said to him and Xinghe that she must find Lanyue.

Now, they found Lan Yue and returned to Jiangcheng together, but the girl was no longer there. Ling lied to them, from the time they left Jiangcheng, the girl knew that she was going to die, but he didn't say anything. That guy didn't say anything when he knew about it, and he actually swore to him that he would take good care of Rei......

So, when he heard the news of Rei's death from Shigego's mouth, he really felt the urge to beat him up. Shigego's account of what had happened seemed like a fantasy to him, and he couldn't figure out why Rei did that.

He has never been smart, and when he was in Jiangcheng, everything he used his brain was done by Xinghe Lanyue. Obviously, he has grown a body of meat, but he is not good at fighting at all, the only thing he is best at is running, but when he is in Jiangcheng, Xinghe will tell him when to run. And now, Xinghe himself can't figure it out.

Ling is a survivor of "Original Sin", and Sneve is also a survivor of "Original Sin", and Sneve wants to see their four children, or in Balbo's hut, and although Anton is not smart enough to figure out why, he can be sure that this must have something to do with Rei.

The attic was divided into two pieces with improvised wooden planks and a small bed outside, and Shigego walked over first and opened the door for them. There was another small bed in the room inside the plank, and on top of the folded quilt was a bear that they had pooled their money to give Ling as a birthday present.

Roughly sensing Anton's gaze, Shigego walked over and put the bear cub on the cupboard next to the bed, while explaining, "After you leave, Ling still likes to hold her original bear puppet more, so when she is buried, I put the original bear with her, and this one is left." ”

As he spoke, he spread out the quilt on the bed, and when she got here, Rong Ruo began to feel a little embarrassed, she looked at the bed hesitantly, and asked, "Is it really good for me to sleep here, this is your friend's bed?"

Anton looked at her crumbling appearance and rolled his eyes, "Okay, you look like you're dying, hurry up and lie down." ”

Rong Ruo was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and it exploded all of a sudden, "You are like dying, Pixar, beat him up!"

When the little goblin heard this, he immediately flew over from Rong Ruo and pulled Anton's hair. Anton felt the little thing stirring in his head, but he couldn't take care of him, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly and began to search for traces of Ling in this room.

"You go to sleep, Ling doesn't live here anymore. Even if she were, she wouldn't have cared about that. Lan Yue spoke comfortingly, and Anton remembered that Ling had always slept with Lan Yue when she was in the tree house, and in retrospect, she really wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

With Lan Yue's help, Rong Ruo took off her coat and lay down on the bed. Anton walked to the only window in the attic, where the winter sun shone in and warmed up. Looking out of the window, you can see the fields behind the house

In a clearing in the field behind the house, Anton saw three tombstones standing side by side in the snow, and Shigego came up to him and explained, "The owner of the leftmost tombstone is named Leia, who should be an acquaintance of Mr. Balbo and Dr. Emilio, and in the middle is Mr. Balbo, and Rei is on the far right. ”

Anton looked at the three tombstones in the snow, and it was clear that two of them were still alive less than a month ago, but now there were only two ridiculous stone tablets left. He looked down and saw a cardboard box.

"Is this also Ling's stuff?" Anton pointed to the cardboard box suspiciously.

Shigego shook his head, "I didn't see this cardboard box when I left, maybe it's Dr. Emilio's?"

Anton felt a little strange, and lowered his head to open the cardboard box, which was neatly arranged with rows of metal blocks. He picked up one of them and held it in his hand to look at it, and there was not a single gap in the surface of the metal block, except for a watch with no scale at the bottom.

Anton felt that something was wrong, and he looked up at Jugo and Ranyue and said, "I'll take these things down and show them." ”

"What is it?" Rong Ruo, who had just fallen down on the bed, suddenly became interested and began to be restless again.

Anton gave her a blank look, "Go to sleep and make a lot of fun." ”

Rong Ruo gritted her teeth and looked at him, muttering, "If you don't show it, forget it." Then he lay down with Anton on his back and pulled the quilt over his head.

Because he didn't know what exactly was in the box, Anton was very careful when he moved, he carefully held the bottom of the cardboard box and went down the stairs when he happened to hear a voice in the living room.

"This is written by Snef, in the same handwriting as the letter he sent to the Great Sanctuary of the Elven River. ”

The sound of him going downstairs caught the attention of the people in the living room, and Xinghe was the first to come over, ready to help him pick up a cardboard box at the bottom of the stairs, "What is this?"

"I don't know, we found it upstairs, there was something strange about it, and Shigego said he didn't know about it, so I moved over and asked Dr. Garcia if he knew. Anton handed the cardboard box to Galaxy.

After hearing his description, everyone's eyes in the living room were drawn to it, and Emilio stood up and squinted at the cardboard box that Anton was holding, "I didn't put it, where did you find it." ”

"Right under the window, Dr. Emilio, isn't that your thing?" replied Shigego, who was going downstairs behind.

Emilio shook her head, "Not only is it not mine, but I didn't see this cardboard box under the window when I went upstairs yesterday. ”

The room was quiet all of a sudden, Dan Huang stared at the cardboard box that had been handed over to Xinghe, he and Ye Zhiqiu walked side by side to Xinghe to take the cardboard box from him, and then carefully put it on the ground.

At this moment, Lan Yue also came down from the attic. A few of them wanted to get together to take a closer look at what Dan Huisheng and Ye Zhiqiu were going to do, but Kochi stopped them and asked them to keep a certain distance from the two who were handling the cardboard boxes.

They could only watch from a distance as Dan Huangsheng opened the cardboard box and took out a piece of metal from inside, "There is no trace of alchemy processing, do you have a clue?" He handed the piece of metal to Ye Zhiqiu.

"I'm not very good at the mechanics of the Morrows. Ye Zhiqiu took the metal block, flipped it over and checked it, and when he saw the clock inlaid on the back of the metal block, his face suddenly became solemn, as if he had some not-so-good idea.

Dan Huangsheng was also holding another metal block to check, and after seeing Ye Zhiqiu's expression change, he asked, "What do you see?"

"Purely handmade, without the help of alchemy, the workmanship is very fine, the maker should have studied engineering for many years, it should be left by Sniff, I suspect that the timer behind me is a time bomb or something, but I don't know the specific effect, I don't dare to dismantle it. Ye Zhiqiu put the metal block back in the cardboard box and set his eyes on Jose.

Dan Huisheng understood, "Jose, put these things away first." ”

José, who had been clubbing in the corner, nodded, walked over to the cardboard box, opened his black book, and took a pen from his uniform jacket pocket. When his pen landed on the black book, Anton felt a connection between the black book and the cardboard box on the floor, which became more transparent with each stroke José wrote.

"Does that mean Sneve has already been here?" Anton asked Xinghe.

Xinghe shook his head, "I don't know. He turned and walked over to the ice-sealed window. Anton followed his gaze and saw that the three carts that had brought them were parked side by side in the open space outside, and Cherie was feeding the horses with some hay.

Suddenly, Cherie put down the hay in her hand, and she looked up into the distance, and a small black dot appeared on the ridge in the distance.

"Is that a person?" Anton asked with a shudder.

Ye Zhiqiu came over when he heard this, he looked straight into the distance, Anton felt a faint fluctuation of magic power, only to see Ye Zhiqiu's eyes hidden under the glasses have changed slightly, becoming sharper, like eagle eyes, making people daunting, he stared into the distance for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Xinghe, barrier!"

Xinghe's reaction was quick, and a pale white barrier emanated from his hand, quickly enveloping the four of them inside. Anton also took out the stone given by Ye Zhiqiu, ready to take over from Xinghe when necessary.

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu's words fell, before he could blink an eye, the ice sealed on the window shattered, and Anton didn't see what broke the window, only saw the broken ice slag crackling on the surface of the barrier.

José had put the cardboard box into the black book, and when the window was shattered again, he jumped out of the window, and the black book floated beside him, and countless characters flew out of the book and converged on his hand, faintly forming the shape of a sword.

After studying at the Heavenly Palace Academy for a while, Anton no longer knew anything about magic, and he could feel the great power coming from the sword that had not yet taken shape. Just when the body of the sword was about to solidify, a trace of strange black qi emerged from the black book and wrapped around the White Emperor Sword, faintly meaning to pull the sword back.

José noticed the change, and he jerked the White Emperor's sword, as if he wanted to forcibly pull it out of the black book, and he did so, but he also brought out something else, and a cardboard box flew out of the black book along the sword.

The fragile cardboard box was cut by the sharp White Emperor Sword, and all the metal pieces inside flew out, and before Anton could react to what was happening, he found that his vision was filled with dazzling white light, and his ears were filled with a huge buzzing sound, and he felt like his head was punched hard, and he couldn't feel anything at once. PS: There are a lot of characters in the same scene, and I feel a little too much to handle, so I have to forcibly brush a wave of presence for the fat man.
