The dark haired wizard stood in the alley and watched the carriage leave quietly. Under his indifferent expression, his eyes became more and more silent.
Corona''s answer answered the first few questions for him in exchange for more doubts - vanity, reality, evil gods, valves, the "truth" of history, "Logan in hat", the origin of the Holy Cross
The more you know, the more confused you are;
The closer you get to the truth, the closer you feel the "danger" is to yourself;
As for the "valve", according to corona, this force is more similar to the key to open the yoke, and the process of obtaining the valve is like the process of evolution.
Evolution... Why did he use the word?
People or animals who are eroded by the power of emptiness and whose body and even spirit are seriously distorted are called "mutations";
The process of building a spiritual palace, systematically learning, contacting the void and mastering knowledge through Ancient Runes, is called "understanding".
Evolution... Is a process from low to high, from simple to complex; conceptually, it is fundamentally different from the words "understanding" and "mutation".
Although corona covered up well, his almost arrogant description was like saying that "human beings are just a low existence".
His performance makes the black haired wizard more and more suspicious. The reason why corona is willing to communicate with himself on an equal footing is not that the "valve" is only part, but the vast majority.
Lions don''t talk nonsense with sheep, and people don''t put animals in the same position as themselves.
While he was meditating, the figure suddenly appeared on one side, which made the black haired wizard raise his head alertly and turn his head expressionless.
It''s not a figure. To describe it more accurately, it should be a teenager waiting for him with his hands on his back, and a cat that has snuggled up at his feet.
It''s small, with black hair as delicate and smooth as silk. The cry of "Yingying" is lazy and naughty. It''s still rubbing its head against its ankles. It seems that it''s no different from an ordinary moon shadow cat... If it doesn''t have those scarlet eyes.
"Alas..." the boy with crooked mouth dragged a long tone, deliberately turned his face and smiled: "for Asriel waiting here, dear Loren, you don''t seem to be even a little surprised!"
"Nothing, just used to some uninvited guys." the black haired wizard with the same sneer replied casually: "you''ve already found out where I am, haven''t you?"
"This is really strange. Is there anything dear Loren needs to keep secret from his best friend Asriel?"
The boy suddenly showed a very sad expression, sighed and shook his head: "obviously Asriel can also teach Loren about the knowledge of ''valve''. Why do you have to ask an old grandfather with unknown origin?"
"Maybe it''s because every time you ask someone, you have to pay a price?"
"It''s different this time." Asriel''s Scarlet pupil flashed a little strange luster: "Dear Loren, I just helped you get the nine pointed star Holy Grail; if you really want to know how to use it, Asriel will never..."
"Don''t trust him!"
The suddenly interrupted boy''s face showed some angry and strange expressions. His scarlet eyes stared at the girl who suddenly appeared behind Lauren; the pale girl raised her chin slightly and looked at each other with her bloody pupils.
The cat that had curled up at his ankle had disappeared.
"It''s not polite to interrupt when others are talking." Asriel''s eyes narrowed into a slit, showing a ferocious and "gentleman" smile:
"Miss fake."
"It''s better than a guy who talks sweet words and never tells the truth." the girl did not forget to salute the black haired wizard in front of her and threw a disdainful "flying eye" to the boy:
"Silly Asriel."
The boy took a deep breath and tried to keep his demeanor. His convulsive expression looked at the black haired wizard with the last "Hope".
"Dear Lauren, you must believe me! Only I can realize all your wishes; think about what we can''t do as long as we trust each other!"
"Oh, poor Asriel, he''s still fooling people with the old tricks of hundreds of years ago." Ariel didn''t miss any chance to hit him, and her elegant eyes were full of unspoken contempt and pity:
"Allow me to ask one more question, stupid Asriel; do you feel like you''re playing a play when you''re saying these words?"
"... you just used the antithesis to satirize me, didn''t you?" several black lines floated on the boy''s exquisite cheeks.
"Really?" the girl who covered her lower lip was "surprised" and then smiled jokingly:
"Oh, it seems so. It''s really impolite!"
“……”
This is the second time that Lauren has seen such a frustrated and defeated face in this period of time - Miss Ariel corona, who stole his "identity", seems to have really become his nemesis.
"Now... Should you tell me how you got here?"
"It was corona who told me he would wait for you here." the saluting girl, with a somewhat apologetic look: "now eboden is still not safe, corona, he also has his own worries."
"Of course..." the girl didn''t forget to add: "stupid Asriel came with Ariel. He doesn''t know where Loren is!"
Ariel''s words made a teenager roll his eyes.
I almost forgot that the first person to conclude a contract with Miss Ariel was corona
The helpless Lauren turned his mouth and could not help complaining about an old man who was full of calculations - he said that he didn''t know where he was and was worried that he would not abide by the agreement, which had been arranged from the beginning to the end.
I''m afraid I can''t escape from his eyes every move in this city.
"Alas? Is Loren angry?" sensing the slight change in the black haired wizard''s expression, the girl immediately showed some panic: "I''m very sorry, it''s all Ariel''s bad, if Loren doesn''t like it..."
"Nothing, just can''t help complaining." Lauren smiled, waved his hand and muttered meaningfully: "what''s more, he''s right. Now eboden is really unsafe..."
"Oh... Isn''t your acting as lifelike as well, Miss fake?" Asriel on the side didn''t forget to "stir up discord", with an elegant and treacherous smile on his pale face: "he said I was hypocritical, but he really died of laughter..."
The smile of the "vampire" boy stopped on his face. Loren slowly looked back and looked at the corner of the alley. The slightly heavy sound was definitely the sound of the knight''s iron boots.
Someone.
The sound of footsteps gradually became clear, and even the shadow of the comer could be seen from the corner. The black haired wizard quietly put his left hand on the handle of the "bright silver" sword and waited for the other party to approach.
Here we are... A little surprise flashed from the corner of Loren''s eye and released the hilt of the sword.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at the alley in the alley, smiling at the black haired wizard, the knight''s maiden, or imperial Highness Princess, Tero Philippe de salalon frowned.
"I heard from the officers that you left a few quarters of an hour ago."
"There are still some clues to be confirmed, so it took more time." Loren bowed and nodded his right arm behind his back, looking at the delicate face like a doll. He sighed and chose to confess confession. "Well, actually, it''s too idle, so I plan to wander around, Tero, his highness."
"Just strolling around, but even a patrolling soldier didn''t find you?"
This answer obviously can''t satisfy her, but she doesn''t seem to want to entangle it. And the next time, the Royal Highness once again opened her mouth, and used what he could not doubt. "Whatever you are going to do, go with me now!"
"How dare you not order from your royal highness?" smiling at her body and following the calm, dark haired wizard.
"Wait..."
Fillonay suddenly stopped him, turned his eyes to the black feather eagle on the black haired wizard''s shoulder and the moon shadow cat following him, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "you
Do you like keeping pets so much? "
