Cyril suddenly turned his head, and Aranza felt the tips of her hair brushing across her palms, feeling a faint itch. The other party actually stared at his eyes with rare caution and said, "We shouldn't be here now."
"Why?"
Aranza was surprised by Cyril's words. This was not a conclusion that this little girl could reach.
He did not hide the tone of surprise, but perhaps he was too surprised. Aranza's voice sounded a bit harsh to Cyril, so she shrunk her neck slightly and moved back a little unconsciously, like a wolf on guard - even if Cyril
She was working hard to learn knight combat skills, but inadvertently, she was still filled with a strong forest atmosphere.
Cyril took a deep breath, suppressed his body's instinct, moved closer to Aranza, and continued: "This is what Ilita taught me, to learn to judge... I just feel that when I return to Alice Fortress,
There seems to be nothing to do..."
"really."
Unexpectedly, Aranza nodded in agreement with Cyril. Then he stood up, patted her head again, and said, "Well, Ilita taught her very well. You can learn more from her. It will be good for you."
The good thing... As for why I came back here, it's my private matter and I can't tell you... Okay, how long have you rested? Go back to bed and sleep. When you get up, we will go to Noland City... I think,
Some guys who can't stand it will probably show up soon."
Aranza said a lot of words in a series, so that before she could recover, Aranza picked her up. The girl screamed, her face turned red instantly, and then Aranza carried her back to the bedroom and gently lifted her.
Put her gently on the bed and cover her with a soft blanket.
"Well, I have to go and get busy," Aranza said.
"Yeah." Cyril blushed.
After leaving Cyril's residence, Aranza went back to the castle in the center of Fortress Alice, and saw the traveler who happened to be staying in his office.
"Well, so you are here."
When Aranza saw her, she opened her mouth and smiled and said: "When you left...well, when Jessie left, this place seemed to be just a warehouse. Later, Kim Gates changed it into an office. When I came back this time, I
This place was also requisitioned by the way."
"Um."
The traveler simply responded, her voice still as clear as a flowing stream.
"Well, you can take a look at whatever you want."
"Um."
Her response was still concise, and then like a woman entering the room of her beloved man for the first time, her slender fingertips followed her footsteps across the edge of the desk, the decorative cabinet, the bookshelf... and her gaze was also the same.
I passed by various items, and if I was interested, I would take them out and look at them.
Aranza discovered that the things that caught the traveler's attention were a few business letters that happened to be placed on the table, and several thick books on the bookshelf. Aranza had read several books, including "General History of the Continent" and "Human Race".
"Glory" and other historical documents.
He suddenly felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something sharp, causing cramps in an instant. His breathing had become rapid but suppressed. From the traveler's subtle movements, he discovered that what interested her most was this pair.
It might be a whole new world for her, not the so-called past that Aranza wanted her to remember.
He could no longer remain angry.
Aranza stood up and said, "Well, I'll take you to a place."
"Um."
The traveler's concise response always made Aranza feel unspeakably anxious, but he was still tolerant of women.
Aranza took the travelers out of the central castle, turned back, passed through several abandoned war magic machine workshops and warehouses, and saw a seemingly jerry-built stone staircase winding up to the back of Alice Fortress.
The hill. This stone staircase was carved out by Aranza with his sword at that time.
Aranza suddenly remembered the red-blooded earth dragon that had cornered him in the initial stages of building Alice Fortress.
The white-haired boy walked to the top of the hill without saying a word, and the traveler followed him quietly. The road was short, but for some reason, Aranza felt that he had walked for a long time, and he could almost see a single plant clearly.
From the meridians of the grass that grew tenaciously between the gaps in the stone steps, my eyes slowly moved upward and landed on another stone step.
But it felt too fast. When he reached the top of the hill, Aranza could only recall a few traces of the past.
Aranza glanced at the traveler behind her, but said nothing.
He took a deep breath of the fresh air at the top of the hill, then stretched out and lay down on the uneven rocks. His perspective suddenly turned to the sky, and he saw white clouds dotting the dark blue background. But the traveler just stood there.
Standing silently, not moving, not even observing the surrounding scene.
After a long time, I heard Aranza's faint voice: "Well, does this place remind you of anything?"
"No……"
The traveler's answer did not surprise Aranza at all, but it... made him feel a little bit painful.
"Yeah..."
Aranza let out a long sigh, got up from the ground again, faced the distance, and sat down with her back to the traveler. Her sight changed from the empty sky to the substantial Alice Fortress, and then to the various exterior scenes outside the fortress.
He seemed to be talking to himself, or to the traveler: "It's just that I don't want to accept reality."
"Well, I really hope you can think of something, anything. This can at least prove that you are Jie Xi, that you are Jie Xi..."
This unforgettable name made his heart twitch violently, so that there was a brief pause in his words. Then, Aranza finally collected his emotions before continuing: "But I found that this matter is like carrying it in my pocket.
It was the same as the gold in it. I lost the gold and tried my best to find it. In the end, I just found the bag that contained the gold...but I was still holding this bag stupidly, hoping for the piece that made me crazy.
The gold is still lying inside."
"How silly."
The traveler was merciless and destroyed all Aranza's extravagant thoughts with one sentence.
"Well, yes."
But this sentence also made Aranza feel a little relieved. He stood up, faced the traveler again, and said: "Even if I keep calling you by the name 'Jie Xi', you are still not the Jehi I miss. This is
, I don’t want to escape reality anymore…”
However, the next moment, when one person is no longer confused, another person is plunged into confusion. The traveler took off his wide hood, and his long golden hair poured down like a waterfall, but on his perfect cheeks, there was a pair of eyes that seemed to have lost focus.
Eyes, she opened her mouth and said softly: "Then what am I...?"
After all, this perfect cheek has never belonged to the same owner. In the Realm of Silence, the real traveler who met Aranza shaped it, and then the original Lord of Light, Neferax, robbed it.
After it, in the end, Aranza obtained it from Neferax and injected it into Jexi's soul origin.
"You are who you are."
But Aranza didn't seem to have any doubts. He smiled and answered affirmatively.
The confusion in the traveler's eyes has not completely faded away, and she persists: "My name...?"
At this time, Aranza remembered that besides calling the traveler "Traveler," the only other names Aranza would use were "Jessie" when two people were alone together. But these two terms
Obviously it is no longer applicable. However, all life in the world, regardless of race, regardless of bloodline, must have its own name. Aranza thought for a while and asked: "Well, what do you like?"
The traveler didn't know why Aranza suddenly asked such a question, but he answered honestly: "The sky."
"Well, let's call you Chen Xi."
Aranza smiled and explained: "'Morning' also means the sky...and I think, both for me and for Jiexi, it is a brand new beginning for you. Morning is a beautiful beginning."
.”
"Morning light..."
The traveler muttered the name and nodded to Aranza.
"Well, yes, the morning sun sounds very nice."
Aranza said in an affirmative tone, and then a trace of struggle flashed across his face. This was Aranza's weakness. Many times, he was decisive enough, but in front of women who had a good impression, he was always hesitant.
Aranza seemed to have discovered her own weakness, so she tried her best to say in a calm tone: "Well, I said it, you are you... Of course, in this case, I have no reason to restrict your freedom. If you want
Leave me, I will not stop you..."
Having said that, Aranza himself also knew that, let alone travelers... the impact that Chenxi left him on his emotions would also be a big blow to the strength of the Thorn Mercenary Group. After all, a Saint
Domain powerhouses are not something you can get if you want them. What's more, Chenxi is different from other saint domain powerhouses. Her body once served as the carrier of the Lord of Light, and she has the ability to reconstruct all magic elements into something close to divine power.
This may be more shocking to magicians. After all, this will mean that magic cast with approximate divine power will have a certain attack bonus against other magic elements. In other words, Chen Xi’s approximate divine power does not have attributes.
Not on the refrain list, but above it.
"Are you so sure I'm going to leave?"
At this time, Chen Xi quietly looked at Aranza's struggling face and asked.
"Well, I guess so."
Aranza smiled bitterly and explained: "For everyone who is confused about themselves, wouldn't it be better to explore the world alone to find themselves? Well, why do you think I am advising you to leave me?"
"You don't have to say that."
Chen Xi walked to Aranza and looked at the world in the distance with him, saying: "I have always understood that I am different from other people. You shaped me and you brought me here. Then, I will naturally accompany you.
