The clerks didn't say anything, not a word of comfort, and in fact, Ivan didn't know if hearing the phrase "You've done a good job" would make him feel better.

He felt almost numb with sadness, as if he had been frozen by the icy waters.

The clerk brought him tea mixed with hot herbs and helped him change into clean clothes. On the first floor of the observation deck, there is a well-equipped lounge, a simple small room with no frills, and a red magic crystal heating device that should make people feel warm. Ivan sat dumbfounded on the bed in the break room, letting the training ground's specialized therapist help him bandage his wounds.

He just felt sad.

In fact, he knows that he has done his best, what choice does he have in that case? Even if he doesn't have a guò, he shouldn't feel sorry, many things can not be done with hard work, this is very clear to him. But he still feels unwilling, he has worked very hard, it is precisely because of such hard work, it is precisely because he has already made up his mind that he hopes to succeed even more!

Ivan tugged at the quilt with his unbandaged hands, wrapping them tightly around his head.

I was so sad that I wanted to cry.

After a while, the wound stopped hurting, and soon the tiredness weighed on his head like a tidal wave. When he opened his eyes again, there was only darkness left in the lounge.

Suddenly, my heart went cold.

It's so quiet. Ivan's memory still lingered in the busy voices of clerks and therapists, and in a trance, he suddenly felt like a long, long time had passed.

The feeling took him by surprise.

The white curtains shone dimly, and Ivan hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to find something like a clock, there was a small table clock in the room, and the hour hand pointed to the six position.

How long did you sleep......

He got up and carefully pulled the door open. Outside was supposed to be the hall where the clerks worked, but there was no one there. There are no lights in the hall either, has the clerk already gone back?

"Ivan?"

An unexpectedly familiar voice rang out from the second floor. Ivan immediately turned his head and saw Xiulin still wearing the clothes she was going out in, standing on the stairs leading to the second floor.

"The clerks went back first, but the therapist is still there, and you-don't seem to be too badly injured, right?"

Xiulin smiled very gently, but the light was too dim for Ivan to see her expression. Xiulin walked down in a few steps, naturally raised her head, and touched his hair.

"How's it going?"

"Uh, I'm fine......" Ivan said cowardly. How could Xiulin be here? He didn't react for a moment.

"Are you hungry? I brought something to eat and put it on the second floor. You have to stay in the room obediently, don't run around, your sister Xiulin will be back soon. ”

Xiulin squeezed her eyes and made a rather provocative expression, then gently pushed Ivan by the shoulder and pushed him back into the break room. She turned, waved her hand gracefully, and quickly left Ivan's sight.

By the way, the assessment is over.

Since it has nothing to do with the assessment, there is nothing wrong with Xiulin coming here, she is also an executor. Ivan reluctantly recalled the performer assessment not long ago, and sat down on the edge of the bed with a limp.

Sure enough, I still care about it.

Originally, the idea was just to try, why did he become so concerned? He remembered that Xiulin had helped him train a week ago, and he always felt that he couldn't help it. Why? Do you think you should succeed? The assessment of the executor is certainly not so easy to get through.

"Kids. ”

Xiulin's figure appeared very suddenly, she leaned her curvy body, and put a bag of soft bread and a bowl of cereal porridge on the table next to Ivan's bed, "You don't have to put on a 'I'm annoying' expression, you just like to think too much, and your hair will turn gray in the future." ”

Xiulin teased very casually, and actually picked up the cereal porridge on the dinner plate decently, "Your sister Xiulin personally cooked it for you, aren't you very happy?"

“...... I can do it myself. Ivan hurriedly reached out and took the bowl. Wouldn't it be a shame to let Xiulin feed him?

Xiulin probably already knew the result. So, I want to make him happy. Thinking of this, he silently lowered his head, avoiding Xiulin's gaze.

Don't mention the assessment! He begged hard in his heart, please, will I talk about it later? Wait until my mood eases up......

Xiulin sat on the edge of Ivan's bed very generously, her shrewd eyes seemed to have already seen through Ivan's thoughts, and the corners of her mouth curled.

"I asked them about the results of your assessment. ”

Ivan chuckled in her heart, but she still talked about it.

"That, Sister Xiulin, what about Aisha?" Ivan pretended to drink porridge seriously, and by the way, he found a topic to divert Xiulin's attention. Xiulin immediately pursed her lips and smiled differently.

"I mean, you're so silly and cute sometimes. Alas, Aisha is not an executor, nor is she a clerk working here, how can she get in? Xiulin narrowed her eyes, "They said that there was an unexpected situation in this assessment, so we have to discuss it before making a decision." Why are you so weak-hearted?"

"Huh?" Ivan froze.

He didn't even defeat the last puppet! And he didn't go to the exit when the bell rang, so why should he still discuss?

"Did they say it for something?"

Just now, I was afraid that Xiulin would bring up this topic, but now that she was so eager, Xiulin couldn't help but laugh even happier.

"I don't have the authority to know the details of the assessment. Xiulin deliberately pulled a distressed face and shrugged her shoulders, "I don't ask you what happened during the assessment, your pitiful expression, your sister Xiulin looks distressed." In short, even if you don't succeed this time, you can still have experience in trying it. ”

"Ugh. Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, if Xiulin asked him about the situation during the assessment, he really didn't want to answer.

However, Xiulin doesn't seem to think it's a bad thing to be unable to pass the guò executor assessment.

"I guess, you want to be the executor for my family, right?"

Sister Xiulin deserves to be Sister Xiulin, and with an understatement, Ivan was nervous, "If you can freely enter and exit this city and check the ancient materials freely, you will definitely help Ai Xia." There's nothing wrong with that. You don't need to be in such a hurry, though. ”

Xiulin shook her slender legs lightly, and she kept smiling, which made Ivan start to feel embarrassed, "After all, if you become an executor, you can't do tasks with my lovely Aisha." ”

Ivan was stunned.

"As for me, I didn't tell you clearly. I think you've already made up your mind at that time, and saying it will make you feel bad. Xiulin half-squinted, raised her index finger and shook it, "After becoming an executor, you are not my assistant, and you have to handle many tasks by yourself." ”

"Well, then I can't-"

Ivan paused. Let him admit that his thoughts are a little tough.

"I see what you're thinking, little villain. Xiulin looked up and knocked Ivan on the head, "You want to snatch my cute assistant, don't you?"

"No......" Ivan said inappropriately. Embarrassment, he was about to die, and Ivan instinctively ducked back holding the bowl of cereal.

"I can't agree with that. ”

Xiu Lin slowly put away her smile, and her expression became a little strict, at this time, she looked like a teacher teaching students. "You, do you think your assistant is a companion on a mission?"

Ivan slowly raised his head, and an uncomfortable feeling came to him. Xiulin looked him in the eye and continued.

"Actually, assistants are like servants to us, many executors don't take assistants very seriously, and the number of ordinary magicians is much more than that of executors. The assistant is only used to assist us, even if the assistant is abandoned if necessary. Think about it, if you and your assistant were in danger at the same time, and only one of you would survive, who would you choose?"

Stunned for a moment, Ivan's eyes widened in horror. He suddenly understood what Xiulin meant.

"The executor is for the Alliance...... Far more important than the average magician. So, what are the more dangerous tasks, I didn't plan to take you with me at all, I'm afraid that taking you will become a burden. Aisha has always regarded me as a capable big sister, and even if I do the task alone, she is very relieved. You're different. ”

Ivan hung his head weakly. That's right, Xiulin is right. He couldn't do it like Xiulin, and Aisha would definitely not be reassured, in this way, he would most likely involve Aisha in danger.

Aisha's magic power is less than five hundred, what should he do if something happens?

"If you really know guò, there will be a lot of tasks that you can't handle easily, and bring a little girl who makes you always scared...... Hehe, trust me, this is no joke. Xiulin laughed again, very heartily, as if trying to dispel the gloom that hung over Ivan's head.

"Thanks, thanks......" Ivan's voice was dry.

He really didn't take into account the problems of his assistants, thinking that even if they passed the assessment, they would still be the same as before. Do quests together, get into trouble together, adventure together, and run around for those unsolved mysteries together. If he really got through guò this time, presumably Xiulin would also tell him these words, and when he heard these words at that time, it was probably another taste.

Forget it, if you don't know guò, you can't pass guò, Ivan suddenly felt a sense of relief as if he was comforting himself. It's a pity, but it's not the only way, maybe there's another way to find that person, and that person will solve a mystery about Aisha's body. Ivan thought for a moment, and tilted the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.

"Are you in a better mood now?" Xiulin's tone was brisk, with a good mood.

"I'm ......" Ivan glanced at Xiulin a little unwillingly, "I'm really fine! Sister Xiulin, you don't have to worry!"
