The further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes.

The spring of the empire has arrived, the ice and snow have long since thawed, and everything has been restored. By the time Xiui left, the seeds had already sprouted, and some of them had even escaped the control of the solar terms and matured early. More and more rare creatures are appearing in the secret valley, some strange magic insects are attracted to it, and a new pure land is gradually being born.

This made Xiu Yi a little reluctant to leave.

But fortunately, he at least has a teleportation circle to use, as long as he installs a teleportation circle in the laboratory, he can teleport at any time in the future.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Huey glanced at Lilith on the other side, and he was a little surprised, because it was Lilith who offered to share a car with him.

"Can you tell me why?" Huey asked Lilith. He didn't ask questions, but he knew Lilith understood.

Lilith glared at him fiercely, but Huey knew that Lilith wasn't really angry. The derivative effect of the Dedication Demon Pattern is a barometer of the other party's mood, and with the rise and fall of the natural force in his body, he can clearly judge what the other party's mood is.

He has very little power at the moment, which shows that the other party is not too excited.

Lilith answered him, "There are two reasons. The first is that I need to train myself to be able to restrain my emotions when facing you. This allows me to maintain my combat effectiveness to the fullest. ”

"That's not a good thing for me. In terms of the sum of forces, the more excited you are, the higher our total combat effectiveness. ”

"The feud is mine, and I hope to settle it myself. ”

"You can't rely on yourself completely, for the second reason. ”

"No matter what, it's all the same hatred, if you fail, everyone will die, there is no need to hate and hate. If you succeed, you can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms, and you shouldn't hate it. I'm trying to fit into your presence. That's the second reason. ”

"Sounds good. Huey chuckled softly.

Lilith's brow furrowed slightly, "Can you answer me a question?"

Say. ”

"How did you escape from that island in the first place, and what the hell is the Magic Pattern Experiment?"

The answer is long. ”

"There is still a day to go to the city of Royo and we have time. ”

"But I'm not in the mood, Lilith, and if you want to reveal the secrets of other people's hearts, you have to give something in exchange. ”

Lilith was silent.

After thinking for a while, she finally said: "I am a half-elf, but unlike most half-elves in this world, my father is an elf and my mother is a human ......."

Xiu Yi pouted slightly, such a combination is indeed relatively rare. Generally speaking, it is a human nobleman who matches an elf female slave and eventually gives birth to a child.

"My father is a member of the elves in the Bilas Mountains, he is neither the first warrior nor the patriarch, but like most elves, he silently guards his hometown and lives an ordinary life. There is a place in the mountains of Bilas called the Ancient Shelf, which is the place with the most rare monsters and plants in the mountains, and it is also the territory of the elves. Elves rely on rare materials obtained from the Ancient Shelf to trade with humans in exchange for some necessities of life. ”

"However, greedy humans always like to poach in the ancient frame. It would be cheaper for them, even if it wasn't their territory. My father, while hunting on the Ancient Shelf, stumbled upon a group of poachers. In order to defend the dignity and power of the elves, he fought with them. ”

Unfortunately, he had only a few companions with him, and they were badly injured in the face of a large group of wolf-like poachers. And the most painful thing for my father is that among the poachers he is now, there are people who belong to the elf race. ”

Xiu Yi was taken aback: "There are people from the elf clan?"

"Yes. Lilith replied indifferently, "How could the poachers so easily touch the Ancient Shelf without the guidance of their own people? ”

"Then why do the elves sell their own people and territories?"

"What else can it be for? Of course it's for profit!" Lilith's voice was high-pitched, "Not everyone is qualified to hunt in the Ancient Frame, and before entering the Ancient Frame, the elves will also test them. Only those who have passed the test are qualified to ascend to the Ancient Shelf. And for those who are not qualified to be on the shelves, although they claim to be in the name of the elves, they do not get half of the benefits. Of course, they are reluctant. Why can't they eat inside and out? In fact, they're poachers themselves, just like the poachers outside! It's just that they're even worse because they have an elven skin on them. Together with the humans outside, they suck the blood of the elves in order to satisfy their selfish desires, brazen selfish desires! They regard sin as virtue, and existence as righteousness, without conscience. ”

"And then?" asked Huey.

"No then. The tribes of the elves are loose, each with its own tribe, each with its own life, although it is not easy to deal with anyone. Without a unified whole, without the power of punishment, and excluded from the margins of the laws of the country, what could my father do? In any case, there are always many legitimate merchants out there who will buy his goods at a fair price, and he can only make ends meet. Of course, the more he hated the poachers. Until one day, he accidentally met a certain girl, because of a misunderstanding, which led to a relationship...... Later he was expelled from the elves, and it was as simple as that. ”

Speaking of this, Lilith looked at Xiu Yi with a playful look: "Don't you feel very disadvantaged, you haven't heard a story of joys and sorrows that moved you, no elopement, no revenge, only indifference and helplessness." ”

"Yes. Xiu Yi smiled: "There are indeed some disappointments, you are not the daughter of an elven patriarch, nor are you the descendant of a certain human noble, it seems that there is no possibility of meeting you and me." ”

Lilith's face was a little ugly, "In fact, I am indeed a descendant of some great human noble...... Brian Buckler is my uncle. ”

Huey looked at Lilith in shock.

"Surprised, right? We never told you that it was a secret, and many people outside thought I was his mistress. Since my mother married my father, she was evicted from the house. Because my grandfather thought that she had married an elf, and it was a disgrace to the human face. Uncle is for my mother...... That's it. Not all the rumors out there are true. ”

"No wonder he cares so much about you. And then what?"

And then, of course, it's a life of displacement. It wasn't until later that they became part of the town of Black Locust...... Before my father was killed by Kevin Beers, he had his limbs broken and then lay on the ground and watched the animal ** my sister in front of him...... The mother fell ill and died, and the uncle became the leader of the town of Acacia. ”

"It's a beast, indeed. Xiu Yi said lightly.

Lilith's expression was still flat, but Hue could clearly feel the anger burning inside her.

"Bring it. Lilith suddenly reached out to Huey.

"What?" Huey didn't understand for a moment.

Lilith's face flushed, "My ...... That root ....... ”

"Ahh Huey understood. He took the wire from the ring and put it back in Lilith's hand, noticing that Lilith's chest was heaving, apparently remembering what he had done to him that day.

Snatching the wire back, Lilith turned her back and went away. Huey knew she had put things back into the mystery.

After doing this, Lilith looked back at Huey, "It's weird, isn't it? If it weren't for you, I'd have killed Kevin Beers." But I can't win him. So I can only use some special methods. For example, he was captured alive. ”

Huey understood. He could have imagined what would happen next. Kevin Beers tried to deal with her like his sister, and then when his (Harmony) pulled out and prepared to enter Lilith's (Harmony), he would never have imagined that there would be a deadly wire waiting in Lilith's most mysterious place.

Lilith's natural power can effectively control the changes in a wire on her body, and even the Sky Samurai can't keep her in this situation (I wish you all harmony).

Lilith looked at Huey with a playful look: "Everything on me is for Kevin Beers, he is a very careful person and will not be fooled easily, but I hope he will not be more careful than you." ”

Xiui sighed, "You won't need that thing again." ”

"Then it's up to you. ”

Huey didn't answer her.

He leaned himself back on the velvet cushion behind him, changed his posture to a more relaxed position, and then said slowly: "The magic pattern experiment is actually only one part of Master Hines, in fact, he has done a lot of experiments with us on Purgatory Island......"

As Xiu Yi narrates, the mystery of being born on Purgatory Island gradually unravels its mystery, and Lilith listens a little dumbfounded.

She never dreamed that the young man in front of her would experience everything that was a hundred times more difficult than what she had experienced.

She could have imagined what it would have taken to gain the trust of people like Hines in such a place.

When he was living through that turbulent life, he was at least taken care of by his father, mother and sister, but the young man in front of him could only rely on his wisdom and perseverance to reveal the truth, hide himself, and finally plan a counterattack to escape from hell.

It was an impossible task, but it was miraculously accomplished by this teenager.

She finally understood why Hue Igler hated the Reims Empire so much, and why she chose such a way to fight back. Perhaps for him, it was the only thing that would satisfy him.

Of course, she finally understood how much amazing alchemy and value Xiu Yi had in him, and why he had such confidence to dare to fight against a strong enemy.

This boy has wisdom and ability far beyond his years!

After telling his story, Xiu Yi glanced at her coldly, and then said, "It's actually a very unwise thing to leak your own details to others. But there are many things in this world that cannot be solved by reason alone. Since I told you, I won't regret it, but I still hope that you will keep it a secret for me and not let Buckler and them know. ”

"You don't believe them?"

"I just don't want to test the bottom line of human nature. ”

"And you believe me?"

"Because you can't deceive me. A mysterious smile appeared on Huey's face.

Lilith's face flushed slightly.

Xiu Yi said: "Keeping a secret in your heart is actually a painful thing, and it feels much better to be able to say it." If you want to talk about the real reason, this is, and it is enough. Okay, I think we've gotten to know each other and put aside our old suspicions, and it's always important to bridge the gap before we join forces against each other, isn't it?"

Lilith thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I can stop holding a grudge against you, but that doesn't mean I will forgive you for the insult you have caused me." ”

"I don't need your forgiveness. Xiu Yi said lightly: "For me, everything I do is what I should do. Women, don't be too stingy, it turns out I'm not wrong, that's enough. ”

Lilith was speechless by his rebuttal and glared at him fiercely, "You must be very unlikable to girls." ”

"Quite the opposite, in fact. ”

After Xiu Yi said this, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, he looked back out the window, the city of Royo, it was almost there.
