Chapter13
After playing around for a while, Ai Yin clarified the theme: "You don't come to Grace for a public trip, do you? What is your purpose?"
"Don't talk about such cold words as purpose." Opposite was Ai Yin, so she was relatively relaxed, and I drank a cup of her milk tea, "I just have a plan."
Ain smiled: "Although we are allegiance to different races and beliefs, we all have the same mood and we have the same enemy."
I made my words clear and said: "You should know that Aates and Orson signed a peace treaty more than 300 years ago. This agreement has the highest effect in the sanctuary, and we cannot risk it rashly."
"……so?"
"So I'm here on behalf of an individual, not a country."
Ai Yin smiled knowingly: "I understand, I will try my best to let you see Grace's strength."
I stayed in Ai Yin's private apartment for one night, and couldn't even sleep. I got up and went to the next door to harass Owen, only to find that his eyes were wider than mine.
Being stared at by him made me a little guilty, I laughed dryly: "Why aren't you asleep?"
Owen grinned secretly: "I want to sleep with you."
What he said immediately reminded me of when I was very young, two children were lying on the same bed and playing, and they didn't feel embarrassed when they hugged each other. How pure they were at that time.
People's hearts and ghosts never want to see them in their lifetime, but that is impossible after all.
I pulled the pillow towards him and pretended to be angry: "Nonsense, go to sleep!"
Owen's eyes showed a sincere smile: "Eden, if I just die like this, I will also feel very happy."
Goosebumps fell all over the ground, and I picked up the numb seeds one by one, "Aren't you disgusting? You can't die. The war is so chaotic, you hope I will be better!"
Owent swore seriously: "Eden, I am willing to die for you, I am happy that way."
I was completely speechless, feeling guilty and distressed, I put my arms around his back and patted him gently, and I lay down beside him.
"Go to sleep, let's talk about the future, anyway, there are a lot of things tomorrow."
I kissed his neck, and the sour and painful emotions spread to overwhelm me, and I felt as uncomfortable as if I died and died and died again.
The next day was extremely scary, Ain repeatedly warned me that the situation was bad and told me not to go out and cause trouble, and I was frightened by the fire magic downstairs early in the morning and jumped out of the apartment.
"Are the people here qualified? Why don't they burn down other people's houses!" I ran out of the house and complained to Owen out of breath, "There is no one to put out the fire!"
A group of people gathered downstairs: "There are Shengyi people in this building. I saw them with my own eyes yesterday. The key is the new faces. There are actually two of them. If you make persistent efforts, you must find them out!"
Owen and I looked at each other, helplessly bought a cloak on the street, put it on and walked around.
War destroys humanity.
Just wandering around for more than an hour, I heard someone running rampant on the street, the speed was like a small rocket: "It's not good, Orson is going to war!!"
I stared blankly at the billboard of a bridal dress shop, and it took me a long time to digest it before I realized it was not a joke.
A stone hit a thousand waves, and the expressions of the people on the street were unpredictable. The panic, anger and eager panic made the people fly around like headless chickens.
I finally know why Elliott asked me to come to Grace, which is clearly a portrayal of Eates someday.
Owen groaned, eyebrows frowned and said: "It would be great if I could see what Ai Yin and the others are doing. If Grace really had the Black Magic Legion, she would definitely not sit still."
I thought for a while: "Don't you know how to monitor magic?"
"Yes, yes, but most of these people are usually in places with enchantments. It is useless to monitor if the magic is not strong enough."
I was overjoyed: "You know the basics, just leave it to me during the monitoring, and the enchantment will automatically expire."
Owen's eyes rolled: "The sacred weapon is powerful, and it has created a magic blind who has nothing to do."
I ignored him, the monitoring spell is a very energy-consuming magic, and Owen condensed his mind and muttered in a low voice.
"Okay, a cloud of white mist."
I leaned into the spell aperture to see that the upper-middle-level defensive spells dissipated automatically.There is probably a library in the field of vision, and the dim light creates a weird atmosphere.
Ain was flipping something inside, and Owen made the monitoring clear, and the cover read: Ancient Black Magic Relics.
I am stiff.
The next book is called: <
Then there are <
……
In a certain sense, I have successfully completed 50.00% of the task.
After a while, another figure came in: "Captain Ain, Orson has already reached the border, and their leader is Alfred, one of Orson's generals, who has made countless military exploits for Orson for hundreds of years. All the central cities were attacked by his troops."
Ain's face didn't change, "Isn't it rumored that it will be Knight Commander Patrick?"
"I don't know, but now Chiye is also starting to be turbulent. His Highness the puppet Garian may not be able to quell the public anger. Patrick was sent to Chiye...but the possibility of returning to join the war cannot be ruled out."
Ain said: "Have they reached the Frobby River?"
The Frobby River is an international river. It flows from the source of Frobby to Orson and is renamed Ripple Water, which is the border symbol of Grace.
The man said: "Not yet."
"Then wait until we reach the Frobby River." Ain paused, his tone a little sad. "After all, it is a war with such a huge cost, and it must be saved until it is absolutely necessary."
-------------------------------------------------- -
I raised my head to signal to stop the magic, only to find that Owen was leaning against the back of the chair with a pale face, barely supporting his body with his hands.
"Owen, Owen." My heart ached to the extreme, and I hugged the guy with a white face like a little white rabbit and leaned on my shoulder guiltily, "If you can't hold it back, you don't say anything, who made you force yourself! "
After a long silence, Owen finally spoke: "...I'm fine, how was it just now?"
He can always make me suffer until I lose my temper, and the only thing left in my heart is a little sour.
I whispered: "Grace has the Black Magic Legion, and Ain... is probably the commander of the Black Magic Legion."
I recounted the scene to him just now, and then asked: "Should we continue to stay in Grace? After the mission is complete, we can return to Aates and return to life."
Owen thought for a while and shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The war has already started. We must go through the border port when we go back. People nowadays are not rational. They will probably greet people with swords when they see foreigners."
I nodded, and lowered my hood even further: "You take a break and I'll go buy something to eat, what do you want to eat?"
Owen's magic was exhausted, but his mental state was very good. He bent his lips and said, "Yi Er, do you think we are like a couple who are out on a date?"
I curled my lips and flicked his forehead: "Don't be sensational, okay, our current relationship is not a couple, what is it?"
"I'm talking about ordinary people who love each other sincerely. There is no war and no responsibility. They travel wantonly in the north and south, and only have each other's fairy tale lovers in time."
"Okay, it's all a fairy tale, why do you expect this, like a child."
"Yi Er, you are very cute when you are stubborn. You should be more casual and do what you want. You suppress yourself too much."
My fingertips trembled a little. If so, why should I separate from Luo Sihua? Am I masochistic?
Buying box lunches was full of twists and turns, the boss insisted on obsessing over my identity, most stores closed early, we hesitated for a long time before returning to Ai Yin's apartment bravely.
Ai Yin waited for us for a long time, squinting her eyes and questioning: "Where did you go, now the Mia people are collectively xenophobic, and I will not be responsible for running around and being accidentally injured."
I was speechless: "Yes, I have learned how united the Mia people are. What happened to your house on fire today? If we don't run, will we be burned to death?"
Ai Yin took two permanent residence permits from the table—of course they were fake. She explained: "With this, you can go shopping and go shopping without any problem. If you keep a low profile, no one will bother you."
I put it away with a smile.
Ai Yin continued to talk to me: "Yi'er, please forgive me for deceiving you sometimes, but I don't have many friends and I like you very much. I think you understand better than I can't help myself."
I smiled: "I will investigate the truth by myself. If you can help me, you can tell me. I will help you as a friend."
A hint of bitterness flitted across the corner of Ai Yin's mouth: "The word friend is too precious, I will ruin this word."
I raise my eyebrows.
I think most people in this world live alone, we don't have much freedom, and we can only maintain our relationship with each other for certain purposes.
I don't have many friends, but the people I meet in the simplest days, I prefer to treat them as friends without any doubts.
"Do you still remember my assassination of Luo Sihua a long time ago?" Ain brought the topic to something I didn't want to mention the most, "Afterwards you went to see me behind Luo Sihua's back, I was very touched."
"I was really shocked then."
"You should have hated me." Aiyin was helpless, and a slight pear surface appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Do you still remember how I explained it to you at that time?"
"Eden, has your original thinking gradually changed? I believe that today you can understand every choice I make."
After so many years, I have become more and more aware of the meaning of those words.
──His Royal Highness Luo Sihua is a man of great ambition, possessing rare magic and leadership abilities in history. It is not impossible to rule the entire sanctuary with his abilities.At that time, it will inevitably be another big battle, and another homeland with blood flowing into rivers.
As I grow older and wake up from that drunken dream, I am no longer the ignorant and flawless boy who was the hope of a nation.
Once thought that Luo Sihua was the best ruler, fully capable of leading the sanctuary to glory and prosperity;
I used to think that change is bound to be accompanied by sacrifice, as long as the change is meaningful, appropriate sacrifice is also possible;
I used to think that the law of the jungle is the law of society, and the survival of the fittest is the fairness of this world;
Perhaps the same is true for Luo Sihua. He is proud and conceited, but he will not betray the interests of the country. He is a qualified ruler.
He is just doing what he thinks is right, and he is trying his best to accumulate strength for Orson.
But these thoughts—like the glitz and splendor I longed for in my youth—all faded away after I returned to Etz.
Shouldering the survival of the entire nation, facing the homeland where they grew up and lived, all these have become meaningless.
Protecting the safety of this nation and maintaining the stability of this country will even become the whole of my life one day.
It's hard for me to imagine what my own happiness looks like.
For a moment, I just want my nation to be stable and happy, and I really do not hesitate to pay any price.
Ai Yin repeated what she said back then: "Luo Sihua may be a good lover and a good king. However, the pain of seeing his people killed and his homeland destroyed is far more important than whether the country is prosperous or not."
This is surprisingly true.
