Chapter Fifty-Six: Night Talk in the Forest

After the rain, the morning sun sprinkled into the canyon, illuminating the bright red sea of blood in front of everyone more vividly and dazzlingly.

"That...... What the hell is ......"

Rebecca muttered to herself.

"It's God's punishment...... It must have been the goddess who punished the rebels......"

Karl stroked the heavy shell of the Holy Text.

"No kidding, the rain just now is the masterpiece of the little lady, okay. ”

Rowan shook his head.

"I mean, is this the time to care about that? Look, she's back. ”

Jessica stretched out her hand and pointed not far away, where little Lori was walking towards them step by step, carrying wings and a light wheel.

[Shocked eyes, unbelievable eyes, frightened eyes, eyes like looking at monsters......]

Leah watched the crowd as she walked forward. Noticing their expressions, she smiled wryly.

At last she looked at the princess, who was also stunned, and said:

"I'm sorry, Isa, I must have surprised you to be like this. For many, many reasons......"

"It's okay!"

She wanted to explain why she had never told the princess that she could transform into goddess mode, but was interrupted by Isabella's warm hug.

"I know, Leah has her own difficulties, so you can ...... without explanation"

The princess had already learned everything from the Great Sage, so she understood what little Lori was afraid of.

Even so, you are willing to show that power for me.

So I will never let the identity of the goddess be you. I, and the gap between everyone. 】

She hugged Leah tightly, silently thinking in her heart.

"Woo......"

And at this very moment. Little Lori fell weakly into her arms, her azure wings turned into a white cloak again, and the golden light wheel turned into a small hourglass pendant.

"Leah!?"

Isabella shook the little Lori in her arms and found that she had fallen into a coma.

"She's having a fever, and she's burning badly! We must get out of here quickly, there could be a new attack on this place at any moment!"

Rowan walked over, and he put his hand on little Lori's forehead. His face instantly became solemn.

"I see. ”

The princess nodded, and the group quickly entered the forest with Leah, who was unconscious.

Night. They found a hidden place to start a fire, intending to spend the night there.

"How's Leah?"

Seeing Carl coming, Isabella asked.

"The healing spell didn't work at all, and the only thing I could do at the moment was to have Miss Rebecca keep wiping her sweat and changing the wipes to cool her down.

But don't worry. The heat has come down. There should be no danger to life. ”

Karl shook his head.

"I see, no wonder the little lady let the duke go. ”

Rowan nodded.

"That's right. It stands to reason that even if it is to take care of Leona's emotions, the best way to do it is to capture them and bring them back to Ironwing, but in Leah's current situation, this is not realistic. It is estimated that the previous rain consumed too much strength, which caused her to be in a coma until now. ”

Jessica nodded.

"Even if we capture Arman, once Leah falls into a coma. It's us who are in danger. ”

Isabella nodded. Despite being an enemy, even the princess had to admit that Arman was one of the most powerful warriors in the kingdom. Without the goddess mode, Leah will suppress it, and such an enemy is likely to cause extraneous complications along the way, and even cause tragedy.

"At the same time, because it will cause such serious damage to the body, it is understandable that you want to hide it, after all, it is a trick that you can not use as much as possible.

But what kind of power is that? If I had to say, only a goddess would have such power. ”

Rebecca frowned.

"Honestly, I feel the same way. Although most of you who came back from Mage City have seen Little Miss's appearance, but this time the rain is even more terrible than all the previous ones combined, not that I said, if she came to Mage City like this at that time, all of us would be doomed. ”

Rowan also nodded.

The thought of having fought such an opponent made him shudder.

But if I had to say it, we were actually saved because of it. If it weren't for Leah, all of us would have had our heads around the waist of Duke Arman.

So I think -- we shouldn't delve into this power anymore. ”

The princess shook her head, looked around at the crowd, and continued:

"We all know what secrets Leah is hiding, but what does it matter? We all have secrets and we don't want them to be known to outsiders, so let's keep secrets. It's not a bad choice for us, it's for Leah. ”

"The princess is right. And let me say that the uneasiness in your hearts is unjustified. ”

Jessica followed up on Isabella's words:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am a necromantic alchemist. I don't need to say how hated necromancers are, but in fact it's simply because they don't know anything about necromancy.

Necromancers are feared because they can reach out and summon skeleton soldiers to fight for him, yet they revere the water elemental summoned by the water mage.

Necromancers are feared because they can chant spells to summon a poisonous mist that kills large numbers of people, but they revere the fire mages for killing countless soldiers with a large fireball.

You see, most mages can do what necromancers can do, the only difference is that they understand what water is, what fire is, but they don't understand what is the back side of life, what death is.

People instinctively reject what they don't understand, they like cats and dogs, but they are afraid of strange bugs, even though the fact that a cat's claws and dog's teeth are far more threatening than a bug, which is the fear of the unknown. ”

Finally, she concluded.

"Jessica is right, in fact, I don't think the reason why Leah never told us about this power is not because it will damage her body, but because she is afraid that it will cause a gap between us.

Not only should we not ask her secrets, but we should not be afraid or alienated from her, this is not what Randall should do to his savior. ”

Isabella was glad that Jessica would make such a statement, because it was exactly what she wanted.

"Even the fiercest rays of sunlight leave a shadow behind a person. It is doctrinal and noble for Miss Leah to be allowed to keep personal secrets. ”

Karl opened the holy book in his hand and pointed to the sentences inside.

"I'm Lord Leah's knight, and as long as the Lord doesn't want to say it, I won't ask it, and I won't allow anyone to be rude to ask that Lord about it. I believe Miss Rebecca thinks the same way. ”

Alec nodded. Although he nominally belongs to the knights of Kalen, in fact he has been following Leah, and in some ways, he is more like Lori's personal bodyguard.

"Well, since you've all said so, I don't have a problem with that. Anyway, Jessica and I also worked under that little lady, so naturally we wouldn't make her unhappy. ”

Rowan shrugged his shoulders and said he was going to give up on asking.

"I just...... I'm just worried about whether that power will threaten the kingdom...... As you can see, the rain destroyed the Iron Wing Knights, one of the most powerful armies the kingdom had ever had. ”

Rebecca said hesitantly.

"There are many ways we can destroy an army, but no enemy will sacrifice his health to save us who are dying. You shouldn't be so suspicious of a nobleman of good character, sister. ”

Karl shook his head.

"Yes, too...... Well, I think I should apologize to Miss Leah. ”

The brother's words untied the knot in her sister's heart, and Rebecca said with a shy smile.

"Really, if I had to say anything, you might as well think about how you can get out of the forest safely. Even I, a woman who only knows how to hold banquets in the palace, know that we are still in danger. ”

The queen, who had not spoken, smiled and complained in a playful tone, trying to ease everyone's emotions.

"Ah, that's a big peace of mind, after that blue rain, I don't think anyone else would dare to come and die. If you want me to say, the current group of rebels is probably frightened, and they are trembling and hiding in the quilt and calling for mother!"

Rowan smiled and sarcastically, and for a while, the atmosphere among the people was active again.

However, no one noticed that in this noisy atmosphere, only the king still pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. (To be continued......)
