"That sister...... In which direction did she go? ”

Ivus immediately asked.

The girl was also smart enough to guess that Ivas was looking for someone.

"From over there, there!"

Based on her affection for Ehuas, she took the initiative to add: "That beautiful sister got off a carriage!" It's a brown horse, very tall, very tall! The carriages are also brown, much like the color of horses. ”

"Do you remember what the pattern was on the carriage?"

Ivas asked.

The girl immediately replied: "There is a maze of square white patterns on the carriage!" ”

- That's the carriage of Attorney General Carter!

Washton realized that it was a special badge that belonged to the Carter family.

That carriage was supposed to belong to the current president of the White Shoes Club, Aaron Carter!

The Secretary of State for Justice is also a member of the "chocolate pie". With such a high status, the carriage used when traveling is naturally equipped with an anti-detection function. Ordinary rituals and tracking do not identify the target at all.

If the search ritual was to be held normally, Evas would only fail repeatedly. Only the "Eye of Avalon" can search for targets.

But fortunately, today is the candle festival......

Perhaps it was the candle who preferred to answer Evas's prayers at this time, or perhaps it was Emma's misdeeds that caused the displeasure of the candle or his apostles. Therefore, when Isabel could not be found by the tracing ritual, the apostle who came also gave Evas guidance - Isabel's short stop when she got out of the car left some traces in the same place.

And the apostle led Ivas to this place, and Ivas met the girl he had bought flowers for a great coincidence.

If it's just a coincidence, that's fine.

But now it's a nested coincidence with coincidences......

Ivas happened to be impressed by the alley that summoned the Shadow Demon, and he also happened to have a good relationship with the girl.

If Isabel hadn't suddenly wanted to give her some money, Eivas wouldn't have been able to find her through the girl; If Ivas was not familiar with this place, he might have lost time and the girl would have been attacked or even killed; If Ivas didn't know her before, I'm afraid she wouldn't have given the hundred white coins to herself, so that she would have realized that Isabel had been in contact with Emma, and she wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell Ivas about the carriage.

…… It is said that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil?

Maybe.

But there is also a possibility...... That is the immediate coincidence, the interference of those great beings in the dream world with reality and fate.

Even the Ring Celestial Division can quietly interfere with the present world, and the Pillar God can naturally do more.

- Maybe it's the twin mirrors that are interfering with reality, which is why everything is so similar to the past!

It is also possible that the candle priest was a little angry when he was disturbed, so he helped Ivus.

…… Of course, there is also a possibility.

That is, it has nothing to do with any pillar gods, no miracles.

It's just that because of the good deeds of Ivas and Isabel, they got good results-

Ivas didn't think too much.

He didn't want to take the money, and even wanted to give the girl more money. It's just that he was worried that the girl would be attacked again, so he simply took her with the griffin.

The first time she rode on a griffin, the girl trembled with fear. She was lying on top of the griffin almost all of herself, but she was afraid that she would be too dirty and soiled the white-feathered griffin.

Feeling the girl on his body trembling, Philip gently reassured: "Good girl, don't be afraid. You can't fall down. ”

To griffins, humans are very cute creatures to protect. It's like humans looking at cats and dogs.

To Philip, the girl was like a skinny stray cat that was so scared that it blew up and shivered...... Well-behaved and curled up, but not aggressive. Philip didn't care about the dust on his body, he just felt that his heart was about to melt.

But his appeasement was of little significance, because the girl was startled when she heard Philip's voice: "Lion, griffin speak!" ”

Philip was still standing on the street with his head held high, and a little helplessly let out the calm voice of a middle-aged man: "Yes, I spoke—do you want me to tell you a joke, girl?" ”

"Don't talk about that, Philip...... Fly this way! ”

Ivus interrupted him and ordered directly.

Although Isabel is probably out of danger, he still wants to see Isabel as soon as possible. Make sure she's safe to really rest assured.

Following the direction the girl had pointed out, riding a low-flying griffin, Eivas easily found the carriage that had not gone too far.

The carriage was tightly curtained. You can't see anyone inside from the outside.

If it weren't for the girl's guidance, Iwass wouldn't have been able to find Isabel at all!

"The succubus isn't here."

Without waiting for Ivus to ask, Venies, who was on his shoulder, suddenly spoke, in an ethereal voice.

"Then stop the car first!"

After receiving confirmation from the Daredevil, Ivus had Vignes cut the rope between the horse and the carriage.

He pulled the carriage door open. I saw that the dressed "Yulia" was sitting in it obediently, motionless.

She didn't open the curtains. Or maybe she can't do it.

And as Evas opened the door, the midday sun let in. The scramble filled the small, dark carriage, the sun shining on her shoulders, arms, and hands folded in front of her. The warm winter sun seems to have a certain light gauze-like texture, as if it has some substance.

Yulia, who looked like a solidified stone statue, heard the sound of the car door opening and turned around.

The moment she and Ivus looked at each other, they suddenly froze. Ivas also kept the door open, pausing in place for a moment.

"Lulu!"

Ivus subconsciously called, suddenly relieved.

And Isabel's eyes turned red in an instant.

She sprang up—

Because he was too anxious, when he got out of the carriage, he slipped and fell forward with his balance.

Ivas easily caught her and held Isabel firmly in his arms.

Isabel wrapped her arms firmly around Ivus's neck and cried out aggrieved.

It wasn't the same as the sobbing sobs she had in Ivus's arms before.

At this moment, Isabel still maintained the posture of "Yulia", crying loudly almost hysterically.

It seems that this is the only way to completely cleanse the fear in the heart.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Ivas didn't ask Isabel what had happened, nor did she ask what she had done. At the moment when Isabel wept, he felt as if he had guessed it all—the cry was like an opera, and it brought with it a premonition the moment the prelude sounded.

Isabel also seems to have gotten some kind of boost from the crisis......

Such a thought flashed through Aihuas's mind.

He patted Isabel on the back and whispered comfortingly, "You've done your best." Cry if you want to, and don't be ashamed of it.

"For the gods will witness that a strong and courageous girl will be born today.

"Look, Isabel. Time's up. ”

Ivas said, pointing his finger to the sky, "Raise your head—"

At this moment, it is noon.

The candle festival reached its climax.

A brilliant golden-red glow weaves from all sides of the sun into intricate, brilliant and sacred patterns.

They surround the sun like thorns and scatter like lightning.

All the lights of the city came on at the same time, and they became brighter than they were at night.

People in the streets cheered loudly and held candles to catch the light. The flame was lit from all the candles, torches, and lanterns at the same time, and the waves of holiness burst out of those flames like an invisible tsunami, faintly visible to the mortal eye.

The power of warmth filled Isabel's heart. Even the imprint left by the succubus on her heart had faded considerably—a sleep-like sleep, as if dispelled by the midday sun. The scorching and bright light makes the winter noon seem to turn into a summer day.

The patient rises from the bed, the cursed opens his eyes, and the dying man's breathing becomes steady.

The old scars turned into new flesh, and fatigue and hidden illnesses were burned away by the light.

January 1st, that minute at noon.

As the climax of the Celebratory Festival, a one-minute-long illumination of the Bishop's level, world scale, illuminates the entire world as the sun moves.

There is no need to pray, and there is no need to sacrifice. There is no demand, just pure giving.

The people cheered, shouting meaninglessly in the full light.

In this great, light-bathed miracle, I celebrate that I have spent another year, and a new year will officially begin.

- When sixty seconds passed, the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness. Only a slight residual heat remains on the skin, which is known as the kiss of the candle.

Whether it's humans or elves, even beasts and plants. All of them have a chance to be reborn at the Candle Ceremony.

Although it was only back to its normal winter noon brightness, the sky seemed to be overcast. For the more holy light has been removed from here.

Isabel had already stopped crying.

Her eyes brightened again, and even the red circles of her eyes were gently wiped away by the light; The remaining fear in my heart was also dissolved in the light, and my thoughts became clear and calm again.

It's as if destroying muscles and re-exercising them to make them stronger—Isabel feels so strong and fulfilled in her mind at the moment.

Perhaps, as Ivas said.

This is not a calamity, but the beginning of a new life.

Seeing that Isabel calmed down, the corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly.

Ivas carries Isabel to the griffin and asks her to hug the unknown flower girl. Isabel greeted the girl affectionately and warmly, apparently immediately guessing how Ivas had found her.

"Where, Evas?"

Seeing that Isabel was found again, Philip, whose tone became leisurely again, asked, "Shall we go to George first?" ”

"Take us to the Temple of Silver and Tin first, and then please go and fetch George back."

Eivas thanked him sincerely: "What a trouble for you, Mr. Philip. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to get Isabel back so easily. ”

Hearing Ivus's words, the clever Philip immediately guessed something: "Huh...... I see, you want Meg to look at Your Majesty first, right? ”

Philip still likes to refer to Lygia as Meg.

“…… Your Majesty? ”

The girl who sold the flowers repeated, looking at Yulia with an almost frightened look in her eyes.

And Isabel just smiled, touched the girl's head, and said nothing for the time being.

Let the strongest of Avalon protect Isabel, and it is clear what Ivas is going to do.

"Yes," Ivus said in a low voice, "someone should pay for it." ”
