Chapter 243: The Demon of Hernos
ββ goββ>
Ivan thought that Master Flotica must have come to interrogate him. The three of them appeared next to such a remote cliff and happened to run into a powerful witch, and Laxis and Selin must have thought there was something wrong with it. It's just that...... The lineup of this cross-examination is a bit confusing.
Laxis was followed by Selin the Inquisitor, Asha stood behind Laxis, next to Xiulin with a helpless wry smile, even Tris and Darren followed, Triss seemed to be surprised, but Darren seemed to be relieved.
The cramped and gloomy barracks instantly became crowded, and Ivan wrapped his blanket tightly, feeling a little embarrassed. His icy coat had long since been taken off, and now he was wearing only a loose shirt, and he really didn't want to be watched by so many people. As soon as Laxis entered the room, she held out her hand to him, motioning to see the wound on his wrist.
Ivan still had large bruises on his wrists, but there were no puncture wounds, as if his wrist chakra had dispersed the power of the ice needle the moment it was hit. Laxis grabbed the back of Ivan's hand with her sheepskin-gloved right hand, stared at the bruise for a moment, and then lowered his hand.
"The witch you're fighting with is Slow who doesn't skip words.
Laxis coldly threw out the question first.
Ivan was stunned for a moment. At the time, his magic was draining so quickly that he remembered only the witch's silver-gray cloak, and he remembered Aisha calling his name, and he remembered the cold that seeped into every corner of his body. He vaguely remembered the witch's voice, a slow and flat girlish voice, and said the term "Elf King of Light......
Lightgill is gone. Ivan shuddered. At the end of the dream, it was not only the island shrouded in white light that was getting farther and farther away from him, but also the Elven King of Light, Lua. All of a sudden he understood.
"Slos won't be back for a while. Laxis looked at his expression, and without waiting for him to reply, she walked around his bed to look at Carlo, who was still unconscious. She lowered her head, stared at Carlo's bloodless face for two seconds, and strode back in stride.
"Sloth deliberately suppressed her magic power in order not to be discovered, otherwise, with her strength, you would have died a long time ago. Laxis's cold and arrogant gaze fell on Aisha and Ivan in turn, and her pursed lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Katarina. She said to Selin, "I won't stay with you tonight." β
"I understand, sir. Selin lowered her head, but her brow furrowed, as if confused as to what was going on, "Need not to skip words."
"No, I don't. "Well, then, rest well, young man, and stop playing with your own life." With that, she and Selin turned to leave.
Aisha trotted a few steps and followed. Before she could speak, Laxis turned back and looked at her coldly.
"What's the matter?"
Aisha took a deep breath, she quickly glanced back at Ivan, lowered her brow, and took the broken golden wrist wheel from the pocket of her freshly dried coat.
"Fu, Lord Flotica, please, please tell me how to fix this ......"
Aisha pleaded hesitantly, his tone half expectant and half panicked, and Laxis was stunned for a moment, reaching out and picking up the dim golden wrist wheel.
"Oh my. Xiulin exclaimed in a low voice. Tracy and Darren quickly exchanged a look of surprise, and Tracy muttered a few words, as if to ask Darren if this was the magic magic weapon that Ivan used during the Wizarding Church incident.
Ivan sat on the bed, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from the top of his head into his body, and the bruises on his wrists stinged for some reason, as if to force him to remember the sound of the golden wrist chakra breaking. His gaze was firmly fixed on the dull wrist chakra, and it felt as if it were dead, and the soul was gone, leaving only the body of a jewel.
He actually had a hunch......
But there are some things that are just hard to accept.
Laxis silently examined every part of the gem, and Ivan felt his heart tighten with Laxis's frowning brow until Laxis returned the wrist chakra to Ashia's hand.
"I'm not a Crystal Craftsman. "Maybe you should ask who made it." β
The small flame of hope was suddenly extinguished, and then it burned violently again. As soon as Laxis stepped out of the threshold, Ivan propped himself on the edge of the window with one hand and jumped out of bed, despite his dizziness from the exhaustion of his magical powers.

"Ash, go find John. Ivan shouted anxiously, "He knows where the craftsman is!"
Beneath the twilight walls, Selin leaned against the window and looked out at the monotonous landscape. Her makeshift room had only a small window, facing the city walls, with only a few pine trees of varying heights visible. She looked back another woman.
"It's a coincidence. Selin sighed, "If it weren't for Carlisle, they would have wanted to visit Afil and ask for news of Asa." β
"I didn't intend to ask Asa about it. Laxis replied in a calm voice.
It's no coincidence that Laxis would visit the wounded with Ashia, Showlyn, Tris, and Darren. As soon as Xiulin got the news, she rushed over, and seeing that Ivan and Carlo were unconscious, she went to the hotel to inform John herself, and then stayed with Aisha in the nearby barracks, waiting for the two to wake up. When Tracy and Darren come to report to Serin, Tracy offers to visit her two injured companions together. In fact, even if Tris hadn't suggested it, Laxis was ready to take a look.
It's just human nature. The magician who saved the alliance should always care about the life and death of the rescued, if you ignore it, it will seem too contrived and attract some unnecessary suspicion. Laxis couldn't trust Tris and them, and what they could report to Selin would certainly be able to report to people like Ballan.
She just didn't expect the child to wake up and hide under the woolen blanket without saying a word.
Asa Hernos had asked her to take care of the two children, Ivan Yafir and Essa Trander, for a reason that he had agreed with him. Every time she thought about it, Laxis felt extremely annoyed. There are many stories about Asa's "before," but few are told to Laxis. At one point, Laxis, who was Asa's student, knew that the teacher didn't trust her, but Asa said that it was because he was afraid that Laxis would guess his age.
"If you knew my age, you'd treat me like a monster. Asa used to say in a child-like tone. The people of the Hernos family never tell others their age, whether they are the heirs of the "Black Star" or not, they will always keep their ages and birthdays tight. The Hernos family's secrets were too much for Asa to let Laxis guess his age, and after becoming a member of the core council, Laxis still got some undestroyed information.
She remembered how shocked she was when she saw Asa Hernos' past.
She of Asa Hernos and the teacher she knew were not the same as others said, "The black stars are not humans, they are demons." ββ
