With Ike's support, Ai Xue returned to the team. The moontime in his hand still shone brightly, but it was much dimmer.

[Time Delay is obviously over, why hasn't it been restored to its original state yet?] Regarding the ability to delay time, Zero herself also has a lot of questions, but just these two times, there are so many differences, besides, no one will be able to answer her questions.

Ike picked up the Black Swamp Edge that had fallen to the ground and threw it at Leonard's feet, the sharp blade sinking into the frozen ground in an instant.

"You just said that if you destroy this, you and Silva can be saved, right?" Ike had just heard Leonard say as a last resort.

"Well, Ai Xue's knife has the ability to break through a qiē magic and fighting spirit. No problem with at least level 7 magic. Leonard was convinced that he had not mistaken the battle between Ai Xue and the Iron Wolf, and the resurrection flames were wiped out by the iron knife, even causing the Iron Wolf to give up the treatment completely.

"But curses are not vindictive or magical. "For the well-read Icarus, it's common sense.

"I just vaguely feel that with that kind of characteristic, maybe that knife is really the strongest weapon in the legend, the Twin Commandments. ”

"What?!" The crowd who hadn't been on a trip to the Warcraft Forest certainly didn't know about Lelia's guess, and would naturally be surprised by Leonard's words.

"At first, I didn't believe it, but now I have to give it a try. If that weapon is really the legendary Twin Commandment, then it is not impossible to destroy this Black Swamp Blade. Leonard's eyes flashed with survival, and he was really looked at by Zero and Ice.

"I'll do my best. Ai Xue squatted down, pulled out the black swamp blade stuck in the ground, placed it flat on the side, and stabbed the knife in her backhand at a very fast speed, hitting the side center of the black dagger, making a crisp clanging sound.

"No, it's too little. Leonard shook his head helplessly, "Can you lend it to me?" Leonard stretched out his finger and pointed at the knife in Ai Xue's hand.

"Well, okay. ”

Leonard took what Ai Xue had handed him, but instead of striking immediately, he pulled out his dragon tooth sword and handed it to Ike.

"Sylva and I don't have much strength left, so we have to leave it to you. Leonard's grip on the knife was held vertically against the side of the Black Swamp's Edge.

Ike saw Leonard's movements and immediately understood what he wanted to ask for himself. This is to use his brilliant vessel and Ai Xue's knife as a hammer and a chisel!

Without further ado, Ike used his fighting spirit and condensed the strength of his whole body on his hands. The horizontal blade of the sword was like a hammer with lightning speed, and it accurately hit the "chisel" held by Leonard, and after a loud bang......

"How can this be...... Ike was forced to let go of the pure white longsword under the huge reaction force. The black dagger was ejected far away, and it was obvious that the blow just now had indeed hit, but there was not a single scratch on it, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Sure enough, this couldn't be an ordinary iron knife. Leonard's hands were a little numb, and when he saw the knife that was also unscathed, he further confirmed his previous suspicions. It's a pity that even Ike, who has a level 4 strength, can't complete the difficult task of destroying the Black Swamp Blade.

"I thought, I can try again. Ai Xue seemed to think of something, and took the knife from Leonard.

"If you can use the power you just used again. ”

[Yes, maybe, the reason why it has not been restored to its original state is because there is still a surplus of power that has not been used up] Zero saw a glimmer of hope.

Ai Xue closed her eyes lightly, and in an instant, the black and white color centered on Ai Xue, quickly eroded the whole world, and when her vision was restored, the surroundings were already the familiar dreamy colors.

"Succeeded?" Zero didn't know what Ai Xue had done, but there was no doubt that a miracle had happened again.

"Hmm. Ai Xue's language was the only normal voice in this world, although it sounded like a short, rapid scream to outsiders.

The edge of the black swamp was picked up by Ai Xue's feet, slowly cutting a graceful curve through the air.

Ai Xue may have realized that in this black-and-white world, the effect that can be caused by the same amount of power will be the power of the time delay multiplier. Objects other than Ai Xue, due to the inertia of their own multiplication, will be fixed in space and difficult to move.

The knife flashed, and Ai Xue's knife hit the long dagger called the Black Swamp Blade, but it didn't break, it flew higher and turned faster anyway.

At this moment, inexplicable things once again eroded one-sixteenth of the world! Time was delayed to 256 times, and the whole world was shrouded in a strange hue like red and black! The black dagger, which was originally spinning at high speed in its slow fall, was firmly grasped by the invisible hand of time, as if it was fixed in the air by a huge force. Ai Xue's eyes were not confused, and she shot again. The knife was directly aimed at the blade of the Black Swamp Blade, and the black dagger was cut off by the knife carrying 65,536 times the kinetic energy, and the buzzing sound was like the roar of a roaring bass drum!

"Succeeded......" Ai Xue let out a reassuring sound, and then collapsed. At the same time, the moontime loses its original light and returns to its original silver color, and Zero's consciousness is also dissipated......

A week later-

"Here it is...... College dormitory?" Zero saw the familiar interior of the room and confirmed his thoughts.

"When will Ai Xue wake up?" was Lina's voice.

"Believe the teacher's words, the mental power is strictly overdrawn, and the mental power that can only be lost by continuous sleep gradually recovers. Karen's reassurance seemed to have an effect, and Lena stood up from the side of the bed, the sound of footsteps reaching Zero's ears.

"This happened once before, when I went on a second-year school trip. Probably, it also uses that mysterious power. Lena walked up to Zero and reached for the moon watch.

"It's about zero, I don't know why it's the way it is. Since the moment Zero disappeared, Ai Xue had this thing in her hands. And now, the colors are different from before. Something must have happened, somewhere we can't see it. ”

Although it was picked up by Lena, Zero didn't intend to intervene in the conversation between them, just silently listening to the current situation.

"I didn't expect you to encounter such a powerful enemy, and with my current level, I'm afraid I can only drag my feet when I go with you. Kalian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It's a pity that I didn't see the situation at that time, was it really Ai Xue who saved everyone?"

"I don't know, maybe there's still zero, I didn't see the situation clearly, if only she could have woken up earlier. ”

"Icarus is with Leonard now, right? According to you, he's not lightly injured, right?"

"The injury was not serious, it was mainly due to excessive blood loss. I don't know why such a dangerous thing as the Black Marsh Blade appeared in the hands of the leader of a thief group, and it was also a weird demonic dual cultivation. Lena is still very puzzled by this, what is the identity of the so-called kind uncle of the iron wolf?

"When I first came back from Kassel, I heard a small piece of information from my father. Karen said mysteriously to Lena.

"Do you still have the heart to sell off......" Lena didn't press on.

"Isn't that trying to lighten the mood? Then I sue you, the king intends to order a ban on the export of black flint. ”

"What?" If it was before, Lena would have felt strange, but now after the Jonas mission, she will only be surprised, there must be something inside this.

"It is said that there have been many examples of the kingdom using black flint to smuggle valuables, and many alchemists have been hired at high prices to seal these items in black flint to help merchants evade customs duties. Karen, who had taken the information she had received and her own judgment, told it to Lena.

"Well, that's right. Lena was speechless, after all, she had already experienced something like this once. But Jonas was promised that the matter would be kept secret, so Lena didn't say it.

"Anyway, it's none of our business, besides, school is going to start tomorrow, so let's think about the class. If Ai Xue is concerned, we will take turns to take care of it. ”

――――――――――I'm the dividing line to divert my gaze――――――――――

"My lord, the kingdom has begun to ban the export of black flint. A young man in a white suit, with an aristocratic look, reported to the figure sitting on a carved wooden chair.

"It's okay, ever since we came up with this idea for those who are interested in profit, we've been flooded with black flint. Anyway, we're already full, so let's let them leave this table. "It's the voice of a middle-aged uncle. It's a little low, but it's a bit cynical.

"What are we going to do now? ”

"Don't bother, it doesn't have any impact on our plans, what we have to do. Let's go down. ”

"Yes!" the young man did not dare to disobey the speaker, took two steps back, and disappeared into the hallway.

"Black flint...... But I still like the name you used in this study, Her Royal Highness Princess Chrissy. I've never met you, but I'm really impressed by your talent. This is truly a masterpiece comparable to the 'Dance of Broken Wings' (a stone sculpture resembling a Broken-Arm Venus)!"

On the report paper on the desktop, densely arranged pictures and texts are full of a special beauty. Its title is not very eye-catching, and the font of the same size as the text reveals an inexplicable harmony. If Schindler had seen this report, he would have jumped in surprise because it had been written in clear small letters, "The Second Truth."

"It is the crux of this plan!" A finger swiped across the paper and stopped in front of a single word that was out of place with the surrounding text, which was a Chinese character composed of five basic strokes, "horizontal and vertical apostrophes".

―――――――――― End of Volume 4――――――――――

ps: The main line has finally appeared, and some of the foreshadowing in front has finally been used~ Of course, please look forward to it!
