7. Secrets

"Aisha, is this your destination?"

Lilia looked around curiously, she couldn't imagine what could appeal to Aisha in this barren, seemingly desolate place.

"Of course not, but all I can determine is the approximate range, and I don't know where it is, after all, I haven't been here before. ”

Aisha sighed, retracted her wings of the wind, and slowly landed on the ground with Lilia in her arms.

Not bad......

Aisha raised her nose and sniffed, there was not much turbid sand and gravel in the air, which made Aisha, who had crossed the desert, not so bad. Although the land still does not seem to be very rich, it is at least a little better than the barren desert...... At the very least, Aisha could see some green.

[However, it shouldn't have been like this some time ago, right?...... the breath of life here? Still young. 】

"Aisha, what are you looking for?"

Liliet's question gave Aisha a headache: "How to say it, some things are too troublesome to explain...... You'll think I'm looking for a super cheating artifact or something. It sounds, but it may be true in the eyes of many people. ”

"So, according to you, that's not the case, is it?"

"yes, but I'll explain the specifics to you if I can find 'it'. ”

Without physical examples, it would be fanciful to say it - and Aisha herself was not sure. Is the last thing you find the same as you expected?

Aisha herself doesn't know the specific situation.

Lilier nodded understandingly.

She's not stupid either, you can tell. When Aisha said that, there was a little nostalgia and sadness in the corners of her eyes, so that, despite the many questions in her heart, Lilia suppressed her curiosity.

Moreover, she is now troubled by the things that happened before, and in fact, she doesn't have so much energy in her heart to care about Aisha's secrets.

"Aisha. Why are the orcs attacking the human caravan in such a way?"

Let's not talk about anything else. With the orcs' demand for salt, it is impossible for them to attack human caravans, and once they are exposed, their situation will be very delicate. In that case. Even if those human countries no longer restrict the sale of salt. There will be no black merchants smuggling from the orcs - after all, the merchants are only profit-seeking, and even if they will take risks for profit, they have no intention of crashing into the road of death.

"It was only our convoy that was attacked by the orcs, and those who were killed before should not have been their actions. ”

Aisha dismissed some of Liliet's speculation.

If you use a large spell such as a sandstorm frequently in a short period of time, there will inevitably be some subtle imbalance of elements in the atmosphere of this area. However. Aisha didn't notice anything unusual about the elements in the atmosphere at the time, otherwise. You don't have to wait for a sandstorm to come before you find out.

"How so? Are the orcs just here to bury us?"

This difference is a bit more subtle......

Lilia wasn't unable to understand the difference—if the orcs were just trying to bury their own convoy, then there must be some reason for the orcs to use violence at the cost of tearing their faces.

You must know that the two large-scale spells made the other party's intention clear.

"I probably have a clue about the reason...... I guess those orcs made some deal with some people, right?"

"Huh, the agreement...... Why do you say that?"

"Because of you. ”

Aisha's words made Lilia fall into a state of incomprehension—did her existence have anything to do with the orcs attacking the convoy, and did she have any hatred with the orcs...... Even your own family has never made a feud with the orcs?

"Don't you understand, if you die here, and then word comes out that you died in an orc attack...... What do you think your relatives, your family, will remark?"

"Aisha, you...... How do you know that!?"

Liliah subconsciously took a step back, she didn't expect that she would use her mother's surname for whatever she didn't have a reputation for, and she would still be recognized by Aisha.

Is there something negligent in your words and deeds?

"Actually, Liliet, you didn't miss anything. Seeing Liliet's frightened look, Aisha comforted, "Actually, if it weren't for your self-proclaimed last name, I wouldn't have thought of your identity. ”

"Huh, my ...... Last name?"

Lilia looked at Aisha quizzically.

"Do you think that your mother is just from an ordinary family?"

Faced with Aisha's helpless expression, Liliye didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod awkwardly - because in her impression, her mother's surname was indeed an ordinary and unfamous surname.

Could it be that there is really something hidden in it?

However, in Liliet's impression, her mother is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain her chickens, who does not know martial arts, magic and has no special abilities, except for her sweet appearance and gentle personality, she is just a very ordinary woman. Moreover, the surname "Desfasa" has never known what is famous in Ludao.

"Although it should have long since declined, but, since this surname is still inherited, then, your mother must have mentioned it to you, the story that your family has passed down from generation to generation......"

Tale......?

Lilia suddenly thought of something: "Aisha, you mean, that story about the 'moon'?"

If it hadn't been for Aisha, Liliet would have forgotten about it. When I was a child, my mother would tell a bedside story to lull me to sleep, and often told a story about the moon in the sky.

"That story...... And my mother's family - no. Is there any connection between my family?"

"Have you ever been sick?"

Aisha asked suddenly.

"Nope. ”

Strange to say, Liliet has not really had even one illness since she became sensible.

"That's natural—Lilia your mother's clan, a sacrifice to the moon long ago. If you want to calculate it seriously, it is essentially a sacrifice to serve the gods. Have you ever heard that there are sacrifices that make you sick?"

"That's what I said. My ancestors are actually the sacrifices that served unknown gods in the story?"

That's natural...... Aisha said in her heart - after all, she had seen that before. The sacrifice that appears in Liliet's bedside story.

But how long ago was that, and if it weren't for meeting Lilia on this journey, Aisha wouldn't have remembered the young priest, right?

"Even though the god is gone, the blessings she gave are still valid, so. You are the descendant of the sacrifice of that god. I will never intersect with illness in my life......"

"Wait! Can this blessing last for so many years?"

Liliel seemed to have something in mind.

"That's right. Although it was a little strange, Aisha also told Liliet the truth, "Whether it is direct or collateral, whether the bloodline is pure or not, this blessing does not act on the bloodline, but on the soul." As long as it is a fragment of the will that originally came from your ancestors, it is considered a descendant, even if it is not connected by blood—and the carrier of that fragment. It's that complete 'bedside story'...... If you think about it, do you remember the whole story clearly? Even if you heard it a long time ago, all the details are clearly reflected in your brain?"

Liliel thought back to the story carefully...... It seems to be really what Aisha said.

"That seems to be the case...... No, that's not the point!"

"What's wrong?"

Aisha was also a little surprised to see that Liliet's eyes had become a little wrong.

"According to Aisha, then the mother who told me this story should be like me and will never get sick in her life, right?"

"That's right...... Aisha nodded, but suddenly, she realized something, too, "...... Do you mean to say that your mother is dead? Or is it because of illness......

Liliet's face was gloomy and she didn't say anything, but her performance spoke for itself.

"Liliet, you ......"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Lilia looked up and gave Aisha an unnatural smile.

If only there was nothing wrong with it, Aisha didn't think it was really like what Liliet said it was. Anyway, when she learned that her mother didn't die of a natural disease but from some unspeakable cause, it was still too ...... for a girl who seemed to be dissatisfied with the family

“...... Anyway, those people can't run, right? I have time......

Liliet tried her best to hide the throbbing inside her, still maintaining that subtle smile—even though her little fisted hands betrayed what was on her mind.

“......”

At this time, I can still be distracted and control my emotions, and it seems that there is really no problem.

In that case, Aisha went with Lilier. But after thinking about it, Liliel herself more or less felt that her mother's death was not very natural, but she never dared to think about it in that direction. Now, with definite evidence of this, Lilia can't help but kill her, right?

"I remember what you said at that time...... So rest assured. ”

Angry, though, for years had passed, Lilia didn't feel much sadness anymore—if she did, it was as if the tears had almost flowed by then. There is no anger fueled by sadness, it is just anger.

It's just that Liliye can't let go of what happened to her mother.

"That's a big project—the object of your revenge is a behemoth, and the water in it is not shallow...... However, I still have a lot of confidence in you~"

"Why do you say that?"

You can see it. Aisha has no intention of helping herself, and with her own ability, she can really find the murderer of her mother. And to avenge the mother?

Lilier knew very well how many pounds and taels she had. Although she released cruel words just now, she also felt that the probability of her revenge being successful was really not very high.

"Do you think, for what your ancestors were, even after the god they served died and their bodies turned into the moon. Even if you tear your soul apart, you still want to pass on this blessing from the gods?"

Aisha's question, Liliet really couldn't answer.

What is the reason for this? Is it obsessive? But it's not right to think about it, after the god you serve has died. It's normal to give everything you have to follow the gods, right?

Aisha didn't wait for Liliet's answer, and explained to herself, "Well, she firmly believes that the gods she serves will wake up one day—and she won't be able to wait for that day." But. If you can't do it yourself, you can pass on this blessing and longing all the time, and one day, your descendants will be able to see the gods wake up and serve the gods again, right?"

Speaking of this, Aisha smiled a little teasing at Lilier: "Coincidentally, that god-sama seems to have started to wake up recently~." Maybe it's not quite right to say that you are awake, but anyway. 'That god' has set foot on this land again. ”

"Gods...... Awakened, sir?"

Aisha's bombshell blew up Lilia in an instant.

She said that her ancestors served the gods, and Lilia felt that it was perfectly acceptable, after all, it was an infinite time, and to herself, it was just a legend with some subtle connection to herself, but now, Aisha's words made Liliet a little unacceptable.

God...... It's time to wake up.

If it was just the fact that the gods that had been served by the ancestors had awakened, it wouldn't have shocked Lilia so much...... The point is that, according to Aisha, there are fragments from his ancestors in his soul, and thoughts and blessings from his ancestors are lodged on them...... and liability.

In other words, Lilia herself is the second priest of the god after countless years.

Because of the close connection with herself, it made Liliel feel like she was in a dream.

"It's strange to think about this and this!"

"What's so strange? Isn't that good?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not!...... Didn't you say that the gods were dead? Even their bodies turned into the moon in the sky, which is clearly stated in the story! If they really woke up, then ...... Doesn't that mean the moon will disappear too?"

"Are you worried about this?" Aisha suddenly realized after listening to Liliet's words, "It's different, I'm talking about 'awakening', not 'resurrection', so there are some subtle deviations in your understanding." ”

"Huh?"

"Awakening" and "Resurrection"......

There is a big difference between the meanings of the two.

"She is still the same 'god', but she is not the 'god' that your ancestors knew...... For her, everything in the past is like the moon like an epitaph, buried in the long river of time. ”

Including myself.

Aisha sighed helplessly.

"Two gods, are they different?"

"It's the same, it's still different, there's not much difference between the two, isn't it?

Lilia thought about it, yes, there is really no need for me to worry about whether the god who has awakened now is the same as in the past...... If you really want to be entangled, it's also your own ancestor, right?

[I always feel that the ancestors of the kingdom of heaven are very pitiful, and this feeling of development is like unrequited love......]

"Next, let's go find your god~"

"Huh...... Wait, Aisha, was your purpose in the first place to find the so-called god?"

Lilia found herself as if she had discovered something terrible—why did Aisha know about the awakening of a dead god in the Dao, and come to this desolate place to find her?

Listening to Aisha's previous statement, it seems that many people and organizations who are also aware of the changes that have taken place here think that it is a development such as the appearance of an artifact.

"Aisha, you...... What does it have to do with that god?"

I always feel that Aisha seems to know a lot of unusual things...... Just like his own Desfasa, even he didn't know the secret of Lu Dao's single son, Aisha would know it clearly.

"This is a secret~"

Aisha only smiled at this, and did not answer Liliet's question directly.

"Well, secret...... Secret ......"

Aisha's answer made Liliet's heart relax a lot - God knows if Aisha suddenly threw out some powerful "inside information", her heart that has borne a lot of burden today, can she still persevere.

"So, shall we leave now?"

"There's no need. Aisha shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to, "It seems that she has no intention of being found and found, so she has made some means to avoid exploration - even I can't find her if she doesn't want to." Now, I can only determine the approximate range of her activities. ”

Aisha was also helpless about this.

"And then, what do we do?"

Liliel didn't understand, since she couldn't find it, why did Aisha bring her here?

"Nothing, just to get out of the convoy - you know, if we stay there, that's a reason for those who wish to surprise the orc attack to continue their plot. And if we leave, there will be no need for either the orcs or those hiding in the convoy to continue to attack the convoy. Besides, if it weren't for that kind of catastrophe-level large-scale spell, those mercenaries would not be mediocre, enough to deal with. ”

"Speaking of which, it's not a coincidence-if it's other crown princes, their 'weight' is very heavy, and those guys don't dare to use them as cannon fodder, and it's only you, who has enough status, but is not valued by the king, even if something happens, I guess I won't dig into it, right?"

Lilier snorted coldly at Aisha's teasing.

"I don't feel at all about that man—I'm not surprised to say that he is one of those who have calculated me this time. ”

Of course, if the mother's death had anything to do with that person......

Liliet's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

This determination has nothing to do with whether or not he has the surname Desfasa, and whether he has become a god or not!

[I really can't go to the gods with such a mentality...... Calm, calm, holding the power of the gods to fulfill their selfish desires, that would be disrespectful......] (To be continued......
