19. Interlude

"Ahh

[Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?]

"Well, princess, you have a cold, and no one is around you to serve, so you still have to pay attention to yourself......"

As people get older, they tend to talk a lot, and Aisha looked embarrassedly at the wise old man in the influence and turned into a noisy old man. "You weren't like this before, but you haven't seen you for a while, so it's not like this, right?" Thinking back to the raunchy old man in my impression, isn't the old man in front of me with an extremely standard image of the Great Demon Master really not impersonated by someone else......?" Then again, how does it feel to be Speaker?"

"It's terrible......" As soon as he said this, the old man's face turned dark, "The long-standing concept still can't be changed, and I have to ask for instructions on trivial matters, anyway, in the eyes of many people, there is no difference between the nature of the speaker and the emperor - it's just that I suffer from this old bone, and I have to wipe my junior's ass at a great age." ”

"Less, there have been several 'major crises' in the past few hundred years, and I haven't seen you jump, obviously because this year happens to be the deadline of your cow and horse contract, so I am so concerned - obviously I am dissatisfied with the friends who tricked you into signing the cow and horse contract, but in fact, I still stand in front of the stage willing......ly?

It's also all about pretending to be crazy and stupid, if it's a cute girl paper to do it, it's "Aha, Sayuri doesn't know the way at all~", and letting Dumbledore do it is an old treacherous and cunning dead...... For some old men who can be used as brooms with beards, even if Aisha can accept such a setting, she will definitely not be able to feel cute!

"Ahem, ahem...... You really never want to give me good words, where did I provoke you, little princess?"

"I have different attitudes towards different people, and for the sake of your habit of giving you such a look, please recall your usual words and deeds - and I have every reason to dislike you for disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night. ”

"Hey, I can clearly see you and coffee, where did you disturb your dreams!?"

“...... If you push an apprentice down on a table one day, will you cover up for the fact that you took off their pants and found out that it was actually YOOOO?

Seeing that the old man's face turned white to red, and then from red to black, Aisha added a sentence in time: "Of course, I know that you are not the kind of scum who pushes female apprentices, so that is just a metaphor......

"Please, don't use this strange metaphor again...... It's terrible......"

"Well, anyway, you're a 'professional' archmage, and you're not afraid of this kind of gossip if you don't have the opportunity to practice and you've been a virgin all your life......, right?

"How could you not care!!! you did it on purpose!!"

..................

"It's so exciting every time I talk to you girl, I don't want to enter the coffin in advance if I look for you a few more times......"

Aisha was noncommittal about the complaints of the old man in the video.

"Tell me, what's the trouble again? Let's talk about it first, if you are fully capable of doing it yourself, but just because you are lazy and shirk it to me, you will not accept it. ”

"Uh...... Don't do it anymore, I haven't said anything yet......"

Aisha looked at the other party with disdain: "Because I am very satisfied with my current life, all events that will ruin my current peaceful life are enemies to me - the request for help from 'certain people' happens to be in my first level of alert, and anomalies will attract anomalies, so don't come to me for those troublesome things that your subordinates can't solve." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he was also "old", just making such an incomprehensible act as disturbing the people late at night would be enough for Aisha to invite him to a good drink.

"If nothing else, I'll go to sleep first......

"Hey, it's unconvincing to say you're going to sleep while drinking coffee!"

“...... No, it just so happened that recently I had a strange disease called 'I can't sleep without coffee', so now this is the precursor to my sleep~"

"It's better to have that kind of disease!"

"I'm old, and I'm still stalking young women late at night...... Alas......"

“...... Don't say I'm like an old rascal!"

(→_→)

Aisha's eyes stabbed the Archmage (correct) of an archmage who was everywhere old but still considered himself a gentleman.

Seeing the crazy look on the other side, satisfying her little interest (?), Aisha took a sip of coffee with satisfaction: "Tell me, what is there that makes His Excellency the Great Magister (accent) so troubled that he harasses women late at night?"

“...... This strange accent always feels like you're hinting at something......"

"If you don't say anything, give me a mellow outlet. ”

"Uh, don't, don't, let me finish talking......" The temperless Speaker who was tossed by Aisha said very happily (?), "Actually, there is nothing else, I just want to ask you to help find information about the 'Red Power'......"

Before the speaker could finish speaking, Aisha replied to the other party very directly-

"I refuse. ”

"Hey, no, I just wanted to ask you to search for some information......"

"Oh?" Can you please explain why an 'ordinary' human mage is looking for the power of the Holy Spirit? ”

Aisha reversed her previous perfunctory attitude and refused to be categorical and unambiguous.

"I think you should know that this is not a force that humans can handle. Whatever your starting point, it seems to me that such a force should not exist in the human realm at all—something that cannot be restrained by human beings, and trying to manipulate it is a precursor to destruction. Well, I'm sure you didn't make this decision in the heat of the moment, but you should at least give me a convincing reason for seeking help from my side on this matter?"

Because Aisha's answer was so straightforward and clear, the Speaker didn't know how to respond.

"Let's start with it, if you give me a sense of secrecy, you can imagine the consequences for yourself - I won't be vague on this issue, although someone's personality is a little lazy, but don't underestimate other people's sense of responsibility. ”

"Well, don't suddenly become so serious, the style changes too quickly and it's hard to adapt to it for a while......"

"Isn't it your fault? Molesting his sister in front of a sister control and complaining that the other party is overreacting?—— said, have you figured out what to say?"

"I'm so stressed right now, can I give me a few minutes to sort out my speech......

"......" (staring)

Being stared at by Aisha's eyes, Rao is Speaker couldn't help but feel a hairbreak behind his back: "Okay, okay, I'll just say it!

Aisha glanced at the other party dissatisfied: "I said that I seem to have a fierce look in my eyes......"

It's not a question of whether it's vicious or not, it's that there's a little more information in his eyes that makes the Speaker feel empty-hearted—of course, the Speaker won't say that.

"Princess, do you believe in prophecy?"

"I believe in fate, but I don't believe in prophecy. ”

As soon as Aisha came up, the speaker felt like she couldn't do anything.

"Uh...... Aren't the two the same thing?"

"Prophecy is the future of personal interpretation, and the prophet itself can only vaguely see a fragment of the future, coupled with the integration of personal color, even a small change in emphasis can lead to some subtle changes in the prophecy. It's okay to take it as a reference, but it's a fool to really take prophecy as truth - by the way, you shouldn't be a fool too, right?"

Aisha looked at each other with disdain.

"You can say that, so to speak. The speaker was very calm this time, "After all, sometimes, my soul will force myself to believe in something......"

“...... Is it because of a prophecy that you came to find the Red Power?"

"That's right. ”

"Is the empire ruined?"

"It's precarious. ”

"Has the World Realm been destroyed?"

"Same. ”

"That'...... Is a hero born?"

“...... It's very vague, I ...... Can not see clearly. ”

......

For a moment, both sides fell silent, and Aisha did not continue to ask. The fewer people know about the prophecy, the more reliable it will be – even if it sounds like charlatan's rhetoric. But both Aisha and the Speaker are quite aware of this, and they are not fooling.

"Alas, since you can't see clearly, how did you come up with the idea of 'Red Power'?"

“...... Because, just half a day ago, 'Yan Yu' began to get restless - even if you haven't seen its body, you should know what this sword symbolizes, right?"

"Does it resonate? Hmph, I care more about the amount of power that is compatible with me than the soul...... It's really worthy of being recited as a holy sword, but it's actually the existence of a magic sword. If it weren't for the fact that its user was the founding emperor of the empire, I really don't know what its reputation would have been now—hugging a good thigh, 'Holy Sword Yanyu'......"

"Then again, can you see the origins of the future crisis?"

"I couldn't see it at all, and even though I tried my best, it still didn't work—not the usual feeling of a fog in front of me, but several unobservable results of unknown meaning interfering with each other at the same time. ”

[This statement feels like a paradox of time...... In that case......]

"Got it, I'll keep an eye on it for you. ”

"I couldn't be more grateful...... But I always feel like you know something I don't understand......"

"Humph......"

Aisha snorted coldly and cut off the communication without saying a word.

[So, fate is such a thing, I can't help but believe it......]
