77. Second watch

"Now I can ask you something, right?"

After quietly leaving Skassar's private mansion, Io finally breathed a sigh of relief - it was a terrible feeling to see Aisha and Skasa talking over there without interjecting himself.

"Although I have noticed the strangeness of this city in the past few days here, why are you pulling me into this whirlpool?" Ai Ou was not angry with Aisha, but he was very puzzled, Aisha, who has always been lazy and afraid of things, would take the initiative to drag herself into the pit with her, which is really surprising.

To say that there was no point in supporting Aisha's decision, Io would not believe it anyway.

Is it really just a deliberate attempt to intervene in the old fox's plan and complicate the situation?

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I thought about what you're doing now, I think there's something to do, and I'm going to sell you a personal favor. ”

"Huh, sell me a favor?"

Io couldn't help but be stunned, she thought of several answers, but she never thought that the reason why Aisha did what she did was actually on herself. Io's first reaction was that Aisha was entertaining herself......

However, when Io's gaze collides with Aisha's, she realizes that she may be mistaken.

The clear purple pupils reflected not the witty, teasing, and teasing that she often saw, and Io was caught off guard and met Aisha's gaze, and was stunned for a long time without speaking.

"What's wrong?

Aisha chuckled, waking up Io, who was distracted.

"I suddenly understood. Why would that little girl Lynn be so desperate for you......" Io relieved himself a little reluctantly, and glanced at Aisha out of the corner of her eye—fortunately, Aisha had already put away her gaze. Io didn't see in Aisha's pupils enough to take in his soul.

Isn't there a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul...... But the scenery there was too deadly for an elf like Io.

At this moment, the expression on Aisha's face was also a little unnatural. When she saw Ai Ou Fangcai's cousin, she thought about it and understood the reason. Present. Even if she is as cultured as her, she can't help but feel embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're an elf...... Not. There's no way around it~"

I always feel like I'm complaining that I don't look like an elf at all...... The corners of Io's eyes twitched, and he quickly reached out to support his forehead, covering up his gaffe.

Although Io's personality bears no resemblance to the "traditional" elves, her superficial words and deeds still can't hide her true nature - this is an elf. And they are the best of this ancient race! The elves worship nature. Io, too, is not exempt from this convention. It can even be said that her close relationship with nature can almost crown the entire elf race.

That's why Io was so out of shape when he saw the color in Aisha's pupils.

It was a touch of wind—something invisible, but Io could clearly see it in Aisha's pupils.

Io almost fell in...... For the elves who worship nature, Aisha has a look. It's not an exaggeration to say that it can seduce her soul, if it is replaced by an ordinary elf, at this moment. I'm afraid I'm already deeply addicted to it, right?

It's just terrible.

Io wondered if he should send a warning to the clan and remind them of this monster that was a disaster for the elves...... She remembered very well that Aisha had said that she would go to the Elven Forest in a while. It would be interesting if it stole the souls of a group of elves.

"What do you mean by that? I don't think I need you to sell favors? If you think about it, I have no desires, nothing to desperately want?"

Actually, it's not without ...... But Io didn't dare to think about it.

Because she feared that once she aroused her hope, the greater the disappointment she would end. It was not easy for her to try to restrain that obsession in her heart.

"Uh-huh~ Gwendoline's helpless things, maybe I can't help it~"

Just one sentence, Io lost his temper on the spot. She rushed to Aisha with a lunge, her hands grabbing Aisha's collar tightly, almost lifting the thin and petite Aisha up.

"You...... What do you say!?"

Ai Ou subconsciously thought that Aisha was deceiving herself, but soon, she remembered that she had seen the girl in front of her, talking generously to the gods of her own clan, and it seemed that she had a good relationship. In this way, it is not surprising that Aisha knows that she cares so much about the secret of the elves.

Then, she realized that she seemed to be acting rudely to a high-ranking person.

"Hug ...... Sorry!"

Io let go of her hand in some trepidation, and quickly apologized - the so-called concern is chaotic, and in a hurry, she even began to worry about whether Aisha would refuse because of her rude behavior...... This also makes Aisha a little funny to watch, is this still the usual Iou who is messed up with a big grin?

"Stupid...... Am I like that kind of person? Since I said I wanted to help you, I'm going to do it. Don't be so restrained, if you let her see it, how embarrassing it would be?"

Io sneered and stepped aside. However, her eyes were firmly fixed on Aisha from beginning to end, as if she was afraid that in the blink of an eye, Aisha would slip under her nose.

"If you want to look for clues and traces of your teacher in this world, I think it must be useless - even if you turn the continent upside down, there will be no progress. Otherwise, Gwendoreen wouldn't have almost given up searching, would she have been? You know, as a god, even if there are many restrictions on travel, it is not difficult for her to rummage through every corner if she has the heart. ”

Io's heart sank, and he thought to himself. It's just that. There were some things that the god didn't tell him, so Io still had a glimmer of hope, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After two years, Io himself was on the verge of giving up. But now Aisha's words made her suddenly understand something.

Not in this world...... Doesn't that mean that in "other worlds", there may be clues from your own teacher?

Io had just raised a glimmer of excitement and anticipation, but it was quickly extinguished—she thought. If this is a possibility, then why did Gwendoline give up? That is, Gwendoline probably knew. However, there was nothing she could do......

Even God can't do it.

"There are many things that man cannot do, God can easily accomplish, but that does not mean that God is omnipotent. It's the same powerless thing - not to mention. There are things they can't do, but humans can. ”

Aisha pointed to the sky: "For example, the heavenly world. ”

The Heavenly World?Io couldn't help but be stunned—is it the celestial realm that has been separated from this world?

"Due to the rules, most of the gods are no longer capable of coming to this world in person, but Gwendoline can, but even if she is relatively free, she has no way to go to the heavenly realm that has been completely changed - although she has not completely separated from this world, but the concept of 'god' in this world. There is no zài in the heavenly realm, and there is no zài god in that world. The existing gods cannot step into the heavenly realm. ”

"But...... Can humans ~!"

Io shouted excitedly, but Aisha was greeted by a somewhat regretful gaze.

"Not right now. ”

Io was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly helplessly. She also remembered that the passage connecting the heavenly realm and the present world in the past had been destroyed, and I was afraid that there was no possibility of recovery.

Because she is an elf and knows more about that history than anyone else, she is now in a deeper state of confusion. However, since Aisha said "not now", does that prove that "in the future" may not be without opportunities?

Thinking of this, Io's heart settled - the elves have a long lifespan, but he is not worried about waiting a little longer...... What bothers her now is why her teacher has something to do with the heavenly realm. Moreover, is she really in the heavenly realm?

"Are you wondering why I moved out of the Celestial Realm?" Seeing Io's expression, Aisha naturally understood what she was thinking, "Because ah, although the time of your teacher's disappearance was after the Celestial Split, that time was quite special. Abnormal things usually don't sound alone, and if they happen at the same time, to say that there is no connection between them, it is really impossible to disbelieve the broken leg. ”

"What happened in the Celestial Realm at that time?"

Iollor hesitated, and immediately skipped why Aisha knew what was happening in the vanished Celestial Realm, which didn't mean anything to her.

"I can't say. Aisha said sternly, "Although it will not cause harm to your teacher, if I say it rashly, 'she' will die." ”

Who did Aisha mean by "she"? Io didn't go any further, but she probably understood that the disappearance of her teacher was probably related to the mysterious person Aisha was talking about. However, this is not what Io is most worried about at the moment.

"Aisha, my teacher...... Is she still alive?"

"Who knows?" Aisha waved her hand irresponsibly, "but since you inherited her mantle intact, it means that in the end she should know what is going to happen next, and take care of the aftermath in advance before leaving." As for why I want to hide it from you and Gwendoline, I don't know...... I think you, as her disciple, should know better than me. The details of whether there were any anomalies, words and deeds, etc., in the last period of time, only you know. ”

“......”

The two men walked in silence and walked for a while, relatively silently.

Io thought about it for a while, but finally shook her head and pushed the things out of her mind—there was no real environment to investigate here, and there was nothing she could do about it. But the thought of needing to return to the territory of the elves to investigate the last clues left behind by his teacher made Io's heart feel unhappy.

If she could, she really didn't want to go back at this time......

"Now, according to Aisha, if I want to go to the Heavenly Realm, I must show goodwill to the current Empire?"

"One of the 'keys' is in Skassar's hand, what do you say?"

"Then it can't be helped. ”

"Still. Since I said I wanted to help you, it won't be so simple—do you think I'm going to sue you for this worthless information? Don't underestimate me, stupid!"

If Aisha wants to say that in Aisha's heart, Io and Skasar are more important, Aisha must undoubtedly choose Io - it has nothing to do with gender or anything, just because Io is a friend who can make heart, and Skasa. No way.

"The so-called 'key', although it is in his control, he doesn't know it...... So. You can take this opportunity to get it from him - it's not a rare treasure anyway, as a public 'reward', just right. ”

Io was dazzled by Aisha's description.

"That...... Aisha, what do you mean?"

"Literally~ You have to know. He did it for his own needs. will treat you as a 'hero' to hype, although he got what he wanted, but he didn't know that the reason why I wanted to pull you into this troubled pond was not to check and balance him, so he would definitely have a certain amount of defense against you. In order not to let his plans be disrupted by too many uncertainties, he wished that you could have quit sooner. And this mentality is a great opportunity for you to plan - because of the heroes who are publicly recognized. Especially for the unofficial but powerful with a strong background, the empire has always had an unwritten rule of ......"

Speaking of which. Aisha grinned.

"I remember this!" Io thought as well, and suddenly became excited, "It is said that he can be left to the treasure vault and find the object he wants...... You mean, that 'key' is in the Empire's treasure trove?"

"Don't forget jì, my previous identity~ Although I'm just a princess who doesn't want to be seen, it's not a problem to just go in and take a look - I know exactly what is there. ”

Ai Ou was stunned for a moment, and his heart actually forgot about this stubble.

With this one's vision and insight, Io believes that even if it is a character like Skassa, he will be able to look away to some extent, but this one in front of him will definitely not!

"Most importantly, Io you're an elf - the reason why I exposed the fact that you're an elf to him is not out of sincerity...... That's because, only if the elf takes the thing, he won't be suspicious. If it were a human being, and other divine weapons would not be chosen, and such a thing with no practical effect would be chosen, it would definitely not be normal. ”

......

Poor Skasa would never have thought that he had obviously restrained his mind and didn't plan to use those two as gunmen, but Aisha was secretly plotting to respond to him...... It's really a disaster.

But at the moment, she didn't have any extra thoughts to worry about this.

Because Aisha left him with a rather troublesome problem.

"This thing...... It's so cold!, and you can just drop the room temperature to this point!?"

At this moment, Skarsa was immersed in the analysis of the bead that Aisha had brought. After seeing Aisha take out the object, he immediately understood that it was the monster that Aisha had killed at that time.

As for why Aisha deliberately gave it to herself at this time? Skasa probably had a bottom in her heart - I'm afraid, she also felt that it was more troublesome to carry such a chicken rib with her, and there were many scruples about using it, so she simply left it to herself to be a favor.

It's not that this bead is bad, in fact, it's a powerful artifact (actually, yes, it's a god-made thing). But if you take it out and use it, the strong aura and fluctuations it emits will definitely make its owner, that is, the god, discover. Aisha herself probably doesn't need these things anymore, and she wants to make jewelry for her students, right? But with such a knot, Aisha would never dare to pit her own disciples.

That guy can't punish Aisha, but secretly attacking Lin or Rorona will be troublesome. The two of them don't have enough strength now to guarantee that they can save their lives in the hands of that kind of person who must compete with each other.

In such a bad way, Aisha threw it to Skasa, and Skasa accepted it happily.

Don't be in vain.

Skassar still had some confidence in his abilities—at least, in a world beyond God's reach, and he was worthy of the challenges.

"It's such a powerful cold air, compared to the magic condensed by manpower, the purity of this thing is far higher...... Moreover, it can directly affect the temperature of the surrounding environment, reaching such a low temperature, this thing really lives up to the identity of a god's creation. ”

Thinking that Aisha mentioned that this was something close to the core that had been taken out of the insect's body, Skarsa's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"How does she know I've been trying that lately? I didn't even tell Salith...... No, how can you suspect your own student at this time?" Skasa scratched his hair in annoyance, very dissatisfied with a certain thought just now, "Is it true that after doing that kind of thing for a long time, my heart has changed unconsciously?"

It's not a good situation.

However, Skarsa's restless heart, stirred by the cold in the room, immediately disappeared without a trace.

"It's not bad to use it as a meditation thing, but the firepower is a little too strong......"

If you want to meditate with this thing, then I'm afraid the mind will really have to be still...... The mind is calm and naturally cool.

"However, with this thing, the next thing is indeed more certain—well, isn't it completely led by Aisha's nose when I think about it?"

What a sad fact...... (To be continued......)
