CH.01 One Year

"After Leonard and Icarus are gone, even Kaos is gone, I really don't know what kind of expression Baron Carter will have when he learns the news. Ike said half-jokingly, but a look of loneliness flashed across his face. I've been with Kaos for a year, and with the part of the Shuanglin City Guard, the two have been friends for several years. The current Kaos is no longer the candidate for the high-flying city lord, and he can barely be regarded as a "man" who dares to give up a qiΔ“ in pursuit of his goals.

"Let's hope his actions don't disappoint Mr. Carter." Ai Xue drank the dragon juice on the table and exhaled comfortably.

At this time, Ike Aixue was sitting on opposite sides of the table, enjoying high-end luxury cuisine.

"There's a nostalgic feeling that even though these are top-notch dishes, they don't taste as good as what you make. Using his knife and fork skillfully, Ike brought a piece of fine steak into his mouth.

"Before, we couldn't afford to buy such expensive ingredients. Also, my cooking skills are not half that of my mother. Ai Xue followed Ike's example and tasted this yak T-bone steak from the far north. The tender juice spreads to every part of the mouth, and the authentic sauce exquisitely stimulates the taste buds.

"I'll make it for you someday. Ai Xue agreed. Come to think of it, I haven't cooked by myself for a year. And there is not a single chance to be in the same room with his brother Ike like this. Before I knew it, I was no longer the little heel sticking to Ike's back. If it weren't for Kaos's affair, Ike suddenly found himself, and Aixue wouldn't even think of asking Ike out for dinner. In the past year, whether it is Ike or Ai Xue, their mood has changed a lot, and their temperament is now the same as a year ago.

"Homesick?" Ike asked suddenly.

Ai Xue shook her head, "If you mean that cabin, then you don't want to." I've learned a lot along the way, that people can't live in the past. Since we left there in the first place, it is no longer a place to be, unless we find our parents and go back with them. Isn't it?"

Ike's body trembled a little, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You've grown up, Ai Xue." Actually, I still have some nostalgia for the past. ”

"It would be a lie to say that there is no nostalgia, but it is precisely because there are memories worth guarding that we need to look forward to a better tomorrow. Ai Xue grabbed Ike's hand, "Brother, after solving the matter of Rolls, we will continue to track down the Equilibrium Sect along the relevant clues of the second truth, and they are inevitably connected with the disappearance of our parents. ”

"I'm a little scared, I only have you now. The Sect of Equilibrium has many legends, and their existence is as mysterious as a mythical story. I have a hunch that getting too deep in this is not a good thing. Ike clenched his fists, "I don't have the talent of Leonard, nor do I have Kaos's mind to learn, so I can only rely on hard work to catch up with others." The strength of level 6 may really be enviable in the eyes of others, but compared to the companions who fought with us, we were not even qualified to meddle in their battles. ”

Ai Xue heard the inferiority complex and powerlessness in Ike's words, but she didn't know how to comfort her with words. Ai Xue stood up and gave Ike a full hug.

"Is it the reverse of the role?" Ike blushed a little, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Luckily, this is a private room for two, and even the waiter won't push the door open without instructions. Otherwise, Ike would definitely find a piece of frozen tofu and kill him.

"Isn't it a little better? You've comforted me like this before. ”

"I'm a boy!" Ike still felt that something was wrong, and struggled a little to push Ai Xue away. You know, if Ai Xue adds zero, his combat power is the strongest in the entire Snow Wind Body, and even Leonard can't compare with it, which has made Ike's position as an elder brother a little delicate, of course, provided that Alice's perverted figure is not considered.

"Just kidding. Ai Xue sat back in her seat and stuck out her tongue. The pressure as the head of the regiment is still very high, and in front of everyone, Ai Xue is used to maintaining the appearance of a leader. Occasional spoiling with Ex like this makes her feel like she is in her childhood.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Ai Xue swept away the food on her plate and sat up, "Principal Schindler won't be back until at least the day of the freshman entrance exam, that's the information from Ahler." The report on the second truth, the truth and the forces of Rolls, will not be able to be submitted in a short time. But Al Ahler, too, was able to make the report reach the palace of Libel and make it visible to those in power. What do you think?"

"You should have your own answer before asking me, if you want to refer to my opinion, then, let's put this matter down first. Ike told Ai Xue what he thought.

"Is there any reason?"

"First of all, you got all the information about the second truth from Headmaster Schindler, and we have reason to believe that Headmaster Schindler knows more information, and if you give this report directly to Headmaster Schindler, he will synthesize the information in his own hands and deduce what we don't know. Ike held out a finger.

"Well, that's exactly what I thought. ”

"Secondly, Principal Schindler has enough power, and he knows who to give useful information to. If it is after the passage of GuΓ² Ahlers, I don't know how many procedures will have to be passed in the middle, who will see the contents of this report, and whether it will deteriorate in the process of transmission. Ike held out a second finger

"In the end, none of the events took place on the territory of the Kingdom of Libel, and this report alone is of no value to those in power. It is only under the explanations of heavyweights like Rector Schindler that people take it seriously and guard against it. As far as the Iron Wolf incident is concerned, if Rolls really mastered the technology of creating a pseudo-level 9 powerhouse, it would be more epoch-making than when Princess Chrissy triggered the Industrial Revolution and established the Colles Academy, no matter whether he had ambitions or not, as long as this technology existed in the world, blood and war would be indispensable. The entire continent will be reshuffled, and even the Holy See of Light can't stop it. ”

"Then I'll go back and tell SΓΉ Zero to stop contacting Ahlers. After listening to Ike's analysis, Ai Xue became more determined in her original thoughts.

The matter finally came to an end, and then there was a quiet time, and the two siblings no longer seemed to be able to find topics as casually as before, and the atmosphere even became a little solemn.

"Brother, what do you think of Kalian, is it suitable to be my sister-in-law? ”

burst

Ike wiped his mouth and grease-stained shirt with a silk handkerchief, and couldn't help but shake his head, judging from this unobstructed and incomparably natural energy, Ai Xue is really still the same Ai Xue as before, and she is still her sister.
