Chapter 195: Upside Down Coins
In the dimly lit hut, a large stone bed was laid on which the sleeping Emia was lying.
Suddenly, Amia opened her closed eyes and sat up from the stone bed.
Stretched out his hand and shook it gently, feeling the long-lost magic in his body, his face showed a look of relief.
"Oh, you woke up so quickly, you seem to be quite powerful, worthy of being recognized by Behemoth. ”
The sudden sound of the human voice made Emiya's relaxed nerves immediately tense, and he looked at the source of the sound vigilantly.
In the corner of the room, there was a stone table, in which a rickety old man was sitting, and the voice came from him.
In the dimly lit hut, there was only a small lamp on the stone table, emitting a dull yellow glow.
The old man took off the monolithic eye that hung in front of him, placed it on the table, and reached out to pick up what he had just observed.
A dark gold necklace with a coin on it that is white on the outside and white on the inside, isn't this what Behemoth gave to Emia!
Emia immediately reached out and pressed it against his chest, and sure enough, there was nothing there.
"Ann, Ann, I won't ask for your stuff, just take a look. ”
The old man jumped down from the chair and slowly approached him, flicking his hand and throwing the pendant to himia.
Amia reached out and grabbed the flying pendant, and as soon as he got his hands on it, he knew that this was his pendant, after all, this chain was his projection.
"Don't worry! It's not a fake, I have one for me. ”
As if he had seen what he was thinking, the old man who walked up to him took out a pocket watch from his breast pocket, opened it gently, and turned the front of the pocket watch towards him.
On the lower plate of the pocket watch, there is a circular pattern with outer ultraviolet and inner white. If you don't know someone, you will only think of it as a pocket watch.
Staring at the pocket watch in the old man's hand, Emia pondered for a long time before he spoke, "Who are you, and why am I in this place?"
"Ah~ I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mader, and I'm a wizard. ”
The old man gently closed the pocket watch in his hand, put it back in his arms, snapped his fingers, and the room immediately became bright.
He turned and walked over to a table next to him that was piled high with unknown utensils and began to pound it.
"When I passed by the city gate in the morning, I happened to encounter the guards carrying out the people who had trespassed through the closed gate. When I saw this pendant on your chest, I asked you to come to you. Speaking of which, how could you get mixed up with those demons. If it weren't for the fact that I still have some reputation in this city, I guess you'd have to stay in a dungeon for the rest of your life. ”
After waking up, Emia's brain has been in a state of operation, and she has no time to think about anything else. It was only now that he heard Mad's question remember what had happened before.
That day, a group of eight of them arrived at the forest temple smoothly, and after some thrilling tossing, they finally opened the stone door of the temple.
Before the stone door could be fully opened, Jarde and his party suddenly attacked, it turned out that they had put a combination of poison in the food they had been eating. Just wait for the passage of the temple to be opened, and kill the three outsiders of Himia.
Who knew that the medicine they gave only poisoned Flam . It has no effect on Himia as a human. As for Boutis, he had never eaten poisoned food from the beginning.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Emia felt that there was no need to leave this group of demons, so she was ready to kill them all.
At this moment, the stone door of the temple opened completely, revealing a deep passage. Instead, there was a stone wall with one eye depicted on it, and the moment she saw it, she lost consciousness and fell into a long sleep until she just woke up.
"I came across those demons by chance. I heard that they had discovered this place and wanted to attack the humans here. So I got in with them, and I wanted to come here to see them and get rid of them by the way, but I didn't know that something like this happened. The defenses here are so good that I don't have to worry about them at all. ”
There was a hint of self-deprecation on Amiya's face. Even he was carelessly put down, and this place really doesn't need to worry about itself.
Speaking of this, Emia couldn't help but think of the girl she had seen in her dream before, and she wondered what Labis had to do with her eyes carved on the stone wall.
"I see, it can only be said that the group of demons is unlucky, and they will actually find it. It is a relic older than the city, and according to the ancestors, it is left by the gods, and it has many mysteries, and it is the safest place in the city. Of course, only for humans. Although what you have done is useless, your heart is worthy of recognition. Thank you. ”
Mader picked up two teacups and walked towards Emia. It turned out that he had just been messing around in that pile of unaware utensils for a long time, just to get some drink!
Mader handed one teacup to hima, and drank it himself.
Emia took the teacup and looked at the black viscous liquid that was still bubbling inside, and instantly lost her appetite.
"Believe me so easily?"
Putting the teacup aside without a trace, Amia asked with some confusion. Regardless of the motive, after all, he is just an outsider, and he is still mixed with those demons.
"If you can get the upside-down coin, it means that Behemoth has approved of you, and since you are recognized by it, then you are worthy of my trust. ”
From the look on Mad's face, it can be seen that he is not a lie, and his relationship with Behemoth is very unusual.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Emiah's mouth, Behemoth died to save him, and now he had once again received a favor from Behemoth.
"Behemoth is now ...... Are you alright?"
There was a hint of hesitation on Made's face, and finally he couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
“...... Dead, dying to save me. ”
Emia paused slightly, but still told the truth of the matter. Although he might be hated by Mader for speaking out, he felt that it must not be hidden.
"Yes, it's dead! It's really the last time. Hearing the news of Behemoth's death, Mader didn't show much excitement, but only faintly remembered, and whispered, "Ten years ago, he told me that he still has about ten years to live. His death has nothing to do with you, it's fate. ”
"I'm going out to get something, you stay here for the time being, and I'll introduce you to the city when I get back. ”
Mader put down the empty cup in his hand, picked up his coat on the shelf next to him, and walked out the door.
"Oh, yes, by the way, I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Emiya. ”
Madde stopped and glanced at Emia, "You'd better be careful, don't tell anyone your name, it's very famous right now." ”
With that, Mader walked out of the room and closed the door by the way, leaving only a puzzled Emia in the room. (To be continued......)
