"Asa Hernos. Ivan whispered.

"Hmm. The man naturally turned his head and smiled naturally, even, quite gently, "How are you?"

Ivan was silent for a few moments.

"Do you want to sue me that I can't withstand the power of the Origin Magic enough?" he said, lowering his head to look at the pavement paved with white stone bricks under his feet, "You know that I want to go to the Demon Continent to rescue Aisha, right?"

If it weren't for the sudden attack of Asa here, Ivan probably wouldn't have thought about it at all, not because he couldn't think of it, but because he didn't want to think about it. There is no doubt that the so-called Demon Continent is a land with particularly abundant origin magic, and he is just a human after all.

Compared to how to cross the sea, where to find Aisha, how to deal with the demons who captured Aisha...... This is the most basic problem! Unable to withstand the power of the Origin Magic, it is impossible for him to survive in the Demon Continent, he can't do anything at all!

Asa did not answer, but waited quietly for a few minutes.

"Come here, here's a taste for you. Asa picked up a bottle from the small round table in the center of the pavilion.

Ivan was immediately alert, and the slightest movement was immediately captured by Asa.

"It's wine. Asa smiled helplessly and shook the bottle, which was filled with a dark red transparent liquid, "I got it from a friend's shop, and my friend has been complaining a lot about spending too much money on us lately. After saying that, he sighed softly, picked up a small teacup from the round table, poured a glass of wine, and tasted it slowly against the stone pillar.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, if Asa had a heart for harming him, he wouldn't have enough lives to live on. Didn't he come out on his own because he had understood this a long time ago? Ivan lowered his tense shoulders and walked into the pavilion with a sense of resignation, and there was a small teacup on the small round table under the pavilion, which seemed to be the Fadrian-style cup in the tea room of the manor.

Asa knew exactly when he was going to wake up, and he knew he was going to want to see him when he woke up.

"You are...... The lifesaver that Aisha has been looking for, right? You're a member of the Core Council, you ......."

Ivan did not continue. The answer was already clear to him, and although there were still some questions that he hadn't figured out, he didn't expect to hear the answer. He closed his mouth and stared at the beautiful little carved teacup.

Asa looked at him with interest.

“...... Crows, they're all your men. After a sigh of relief, Ivan added.

"I don't think my subordinates are suitable, but they do trust me. I trust them too. Asa continued to look at Ivan and poured him a glass of wine. The wine looks very good, with bright colors and a sweet and intoxicating aroma.

"Don't you want to ask me why I didn't go and save Aisha?" Asa sat down at the small round table.

Ivan froze, and involuntarily looked away from the clear wine and cast his eyes on Asa.

"Is it necessary to ask?" his voice trembled slightly, and a bitterness instantly welled up in his heart. Asa was not an ordinary sorcerer like him, and Asa was like Atel Hernos. You can use the magic of space, and it shouldn't be difficult to catch up with the demon ship, right?

Something I can't do. You can do it, but you don't do it.

Thinking of this, he glared at the powerful Holy Demon Master in front of him almost with anger. Asa's eyes are like sharp blades, but they give people the illusion of tenderness and melancholy.

In this way, Asa and Atel are not very similar, except that Asa appears to be more mature. The two also have very different temperaments. When I first met Asa, how could I think the two brothers were so similar?

By the way, this doesn't seem like the first time I've seen Asa......

"Have we met before?" asked Ivan, suppressing the anger that had swelled in his heart.

"Yes. I've seen it more than once. Asa said, "When you were in the town of Takamo, you went to save the innocent clerks, and the ravens went too." Do you remember?"

"That's—"

That was in January of this year. Originally, Devany Snow Ling brought a book of the Feather Clan to the wizarding town of Takamo, but the wizards used the magic of the Feather Clan to summon elemental spirits to attack the city under the jurisdiction of the Wizard Alliance, and kidnapped four clerks. Ivan's mission was to rescue the clerk, and he succeeded, but not on his own.

"—You saved the clerk. Ivan suddenly realized. At the time, he thought the clerks had died on the ship, which had been engulfed in flames, but miraculously met them in a hut by a lake. It seems that it was Asa who rescued them from the ship. They were all asleep at the time, and when they woke up, they thought Ivan was their savior.

Moreover, the one who helped Ivan defeat the Great Elder of the Wizarding Society, the "incomplete Elf King of the Earth", was also Asa! The Great Elder, who was bent on revenge on the Demon Alliance, was possessed by the "Elf King of the Earth" summoned by himself, and the whole person became a monster. Ivan had no chance of winning, but at the critical moment, it was Asa who saved him.

"Hmm. Asa nodded lightly, "I was there when you met Evel. At this point he paused suddenly, "You didn't notice me, did you?"

"Ugh. ”

Evel, the name of the demon who captured Eshar, that is a ...... A demon clan that is stronger than you can imagine.

At that time, Ivan couldn't pay attention to others at all! Aisha was caught by the demons, and his whole body was covered with a strange brilliance, and he struggled in the dark night sky. It turned out that Asa was there at that time. Later, Aisha fell from a height of more than ten meters, and he wanted to catch Aisha, but he ......

"You-" The depths of your throat felt like choking. Asa was there, but Aisha was still like that.

"I got the news too late. ”

As if having seen through Ivan's thoughts, Asa spread out his hands with a hint of apology on his face, and then, he whispered solemnly.

"I'm not going to excuse myself, at that time, I really couldn't save Aisha. You see, I can't do everything. ”

...... What the?

Is he trying to say that he can't do anything about it?

Isn't he very strong? Why can't he do it...... If even such a strong person can't save Aisha, then Aisha will be too pitiful......

At some point, his clenched fists trembled uncontrollably, but he wasn't angry with Asa...... It's not such a simple love as being angry at all. (To be continued......)
