"I wonder how long you will stay here?" Xino asked tentatively: "Until we find that person?"
Lin Ge nodded slightly and asked, "Is there any inconvenience?"
"I don't have one." Xino paused and pointedly said: "But there are still many aliens living in the Emerald Lake..."
She stopped talking and did not continue, but everyone understood the implication of her words. Parking Cloud Whale Island on the Emerald Lake is equivalent to occupying the living space of the original lake residents, which will inevitably cause their dissatisfaction, not to mention
News of the presence of humans will also trigger their vigilance and panic. It may not matter in a short period of time, and they can still rely on Xino's reputation among these aliens to suppress it, but as time goes by, some accidents may happen.
"Please rest assured about this."
After understanding Xino's concerns, Linger knew how to reply. He took a deep look at the girl and said, "I think we won't stay here for too long."
After all, the person has been found.
The rest is just a question of how to convince her.
"That's good." The girl smiled slightly and inadvertently avoided Lin Ge's sight.
The young man saw her reaction in his eyes and frowned slightly.
Although the contact time is still short, it is undeniable that Xino is a smart girl, not only very considerate in dealing with people, but also has keen intuition. She may have guessed from Alice's change in attitude that Ringer and the others
The person she is looking for is herself. But she is still pretending to be confused and does not clarify the matter. This can be interpreted as being wary of strangers. After all, she does not know the identity and origin of the group of people in front of her, so it is naturally impossible for her to tell them.
Leave all your concerns to yourself.
But the young man also vaguely noticed that not only this reason, she seemed to have other concerns.
If this is the case, it will be difficult to convince her.
The first six girls who joined the team basically took the initiative - either Linge took the initiative or they took the initiative. The former such as Olvera, Ietta and Leticia, the latter including Saint Xalia, Luo
Lena and Gloria. Basically, every reincarnated girl Queen will have her own emotional needs. As long as those needs are met, it is not difficult to convince them. However, for Xino, Ringer’s understanding
It was too little, and for a moment I couldn't think of any reason for her to leave her hometown and embark on a journey, but I could think of many reasons why she had to stay.
For example, she is the only heir of the Gustave family. Although White Thorn has been lonely in modern times, the glory of her ancestors and the connections of the family still exist. Her future can be said to be smooth, which is different from Olvera whose family and country have been destroyed.
; For example, she is also the sworn keeper and guardian of all the aliens in the Forest of Lowther. Once she leaves here, the Forest of Lowther will lose its dual owner in a legal and historical sense, and I am afraid it will no longer be peaceful. This
Neville and Leticia are different from Neville and Leticia, who have no worries and live a carefree life. Finally, she looks very healthy and does not seem to be troubled by a curse. Naturally, she will not
She desperately wants to lift the curse, but it cannot be compared to Lorena, who is willing to leave her hometown and study alchemy even though she is suffering from injuries and illnesses in order to lift the curse.
However, it is also possible that the curse is hidden and cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as Saint Shalia's confusion about her fate, or Gloria always switching between different identities and memories... But this goes back to
That's the problem at the beginning: Xino can't completely trust these strangers in front of her, so even if there is some invisible curse that really bothers her, she probably won't tell anyone about it.
How should we start? Sure enough, we should start by understanding her first?
"Mr. Ringer?"
A confused call brought the tranced Ringer back to reality. When the young man looked up, he found that Xino had stopped at some point. His beautiful wine-red eyes blinked slightly, with a strange expression: "
You have been staring at me since just now, is there something on my face?"
"That's how Ringer is." Alice hummed, "It's just his true nature exposed."
"No." Saint Xalia stood up and spoke for the young man: "Linge is not that kind of person."
Olvera looked at Alice on the left, St. Xalia on the right, and finally glanced at Ringer. After thinking for a long time, she rarely sided with Alice. Perhaps it was because she had long been dissatisfied with Ringer.
, so his tone was very angry: "Who says it's not true, Sister Xiaoxia, don't be fooled by Ringer, he must be that kind of person!"
Lorena on the side smiled and added: "Even if Mr. Ringer is not that kind of person, he might still have that kind of idea."
Gloria stroked Xiaobai's feathers with a thoughtful look on her face: "If Mr. Ringer is that kind of person, shouldn't I keep a distance from him?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Leticia gestured fiercely with a knife, and it was obvious that the method of protection she meant was self-evident: "People like Ringer no longer live in this world.
It’s worth nothing in the world, go die with Alice!”
Alice: "...What does it have to do with me!?"
Ringer: "..."
You keep saying "that kind of person", but please tell me clearly, what kind of person is that kind of person?
"puff!"
Suddenly, a chuckle came from the side and everyone turned their heads in unison, only to find that it was Xino covering his mouth with his hands, his eyebrows curved into two crescents, and the ponytail on the back of his head kept swinging back and forth, like a
pendulum.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the girl who was smiling happily blinked her eyes and realized that she seemed to be a little rude. She quickly released the hand covering her mouth and comforted the ponytail on the back of her head.
Let it settle down and no longer swing around, but there is still an irrepressible smile on the corner of the mouth: "I'm sorry, everyone, I didn't mean to do it, I just think... your feelings are really good,
It’s enviable.”

Which eye did you see it with?
Ringer suspected that she was just saying polite words, but Alice took it seriously, patting her chest and boasting: "Yes, this is the friendship and bond of our Gran Sefa Cavalry Group!"
No one paid attention to her. Xino tried to suppress the curvature of the corners of her mouth, but failed. So she could only look up at the young man with a joking and teasing smile: "Well, Mr. Ringer, stay here
I’ve given you enough time to react. A smart person like you should have already figured out how to explain what just happened, right?”
Ringer made a serious face: "I just thought of a question."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Regarding the issue of security." Ringer said: "There are so many aliens living in the Forest of Loser. Could it be that they have not attracted the attention of the United Order?"
Lin Ge didn't ask this just to change the subject. He had similar doubts in his mind when he followed Xino and came into contact with the aliens in the forest. According to Xino's description, he roughly estimated that people living in Luo
There are at least thousands of heterogeneous groups in Se Zhilin, and the number of individuals is even more difficult to estimate. In this era of strong suppression by humans and the decline of heterogeneous species, it is definitely a very astonishing number. In the places that Linger has traveled
Among the places, I am afraid that only the Thorson Mountains and the Xugen Swamp before it suffered a devastating blow could rival it.
However, the Saussen Mountains have experienced twelve centuries of accumulation before reaching their current scale, and the Xugen Swamp is a shadow of the glory days of the Motosh Empire. The descendants of the five major families took away many tribesmen and servants when the empire fell.
, dormant there, waiting for the opportunity, hoping to one day restore the rule of the empire. However, these two locations were without exception subject to the alliance of religious groups - especially the key suppression of the Judgment Holy See. From time to time, silver rabid dogs appeared in the Saussen Mountains, such as
The lives of alien beings are harvested regularly like the harvest season, and the virtual root swamp has been thoroughly baptized by the final fire that fell from the sky. Now if you want to find the shadow of an alien, you may have to dig three feet into the ground.
For the success of the Eden Project, the United Order has always spared no effort to suppress and clean up the aliens. Based on the experience of the judges and arbiters of the Balance of Order, it is not difficult to see that things like the Forest of Lothar retain their original features.
In addition, inaccessible areas are the most suitable places for aliens to hide. But they actually turn a blind eye and allow aliens such as mountain centaurs, gray-feathered harpies, and the Biberg clan to thrive in it? Although the Forest of Loser is legal
It already belongs to the private land of the Goldstaff family, but Ringer doesn't believe that those guys would care about such a thing.
In particular, it is close to the city of Sumia.
The city of Sumia where the United Church of Villyard is located, the holy city before the establishment of the Cathedral of the Evangelical Evangelization of St. Brilliant, and the headquarters of the United Order during the Steam Jihad period. Although it is now lonely, its remaining power has not diminished.
The power here is still strong.
This question made the smile on Xino's lips fade a little. She was silent for a while and then replied: "I have heard a little bit about the trial of the Holy See, so I understand your worries, Mr. Ringer. But the fact is exactly the same.
On the contrary, the United Order has never sent anyone to search the Forest of Rother. They have even contributed to this matter. Thanks to the support of Lord Ainoin, the previous archbishop of the Villiard Church, the Gustave family has
They were able to negotiate with the city government and finally succeeded in buying back the land. After the transaction was completed, the believers of the same religious sect publicized the matter to the outside world, letting the residents in the countryside know that the Loser Forest had been
It is an owned land, and no one has trespassed in since then. If it weren’t for their help, I’m afraid my grandfather, father and I alone wouldn’t be able to manage this land well.”
This doesn't sound like the same Order I know.
Not only was Ringer surprised, but others also showed surprised looks. Alice even wanted to say something without thinking, but was stopped in time by Saint Xalia.
Linge said: "So, the relationship between the Gustave family and the religious order is pretty good."
Hearing this, Xino chuckled and said: "Perhaps it's for the sake of the ancestors of Heberton. Because of the White Knight, the Gustave family has always had a low reputation in the province of Saint-Denis. Unfortunately, we
These descendants may have been disappointed if they failed to inherit the spirit of their ancestors."
She said this, but there was no look of regret on her face. Instead, there was a hint of relief between her eyebrows. This insincere attitude made the young man feel strange. Because he knew very well that when a person's words and deeds are different from her
When there are contradictions in her thoughts, she is either deceiving herself or others, and no matter which possibility, it means hidden secrets and inside stories.
As for Xino's statement, Ringo did not fully believe it. The White Knight Hibberdon was indeed very famous in the province of Saint-Denis. It is said that his statue still stands in the central square of Sumia City. But if it can be said that it can
If the church unites to retreat and actively release goodwill, then his face is still not enough. In comparison, Joan of Arc, whom he follows, has this face, because she is not only the pioneer of the republican era, but also the spirit of all Baicheng people.
Idol, and also the philosopher of the Witches' Guild.
Thinking of this, Lin Ge's expression changed slightly because he suddenly realized a problem.
"Miss Hinault," he asked, "what do you think of Joan of Arc?"
When Xino heard this question, he looked at the young man in surprise, as if he was wondering why he would ask such a question: "Are you talking about...Lord Joan of Arc?"
"Yes."
"Then you'd better not ask this question to other Baicheng people."
"Why?"
"Because it will make them think that you have something against the Holy Lady."
"..."
Lin Ge couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then said: "It sounds like you admire that saintly lady very much."
"You should ask, in the land of Baicheng, who doesn't worship the Holy Lady, and I think the answer is probably no." Xino looked at him with a half-smile: "Marshal Napoleon is Dabre.
The hero of the Tower Kingdom, but the people of Linwell City would say that he is a murderous butcher, and what is more, he is not a human being, but a ruthless guillotine; the red-bearded King Barbarossa is the unification of Mindelias
A great monarch, but the revolutionaries who were ruthlessly suppressed by him would say that he was a cruel and tyrannical king, a dictator who developed monarchical dictatorship and personal authority to the extreme... Everyone will know about the heroes whose names are recorded in history books.
Have different views, either follow the crowd, or be unconventional.”
"Only the people of the Baicheng Republic love and revere their saint. The people who were saved by her in suffering praised her selfless character and pure sadness. The soldiers who followed her charge on the battlefield loved her heroic fighting figure.
With the kindness of caring soldiers, those of us who come after us are enjoying the republican heritage she left behind, and we miss every law that the Holy Lady made for us when she was still alive, which was strict but not harsh, kind but not hypocritical.
, that is the ideal inheritance of the Holy Lady, and it is also the precious wealth that constitutes the common spiritual world of all Baicheng people. Therefore, what I want to tell you is, Mr. Ringer, the respect for the Holy Lady exists here.
.”
She gently pressed her hand on her chest, her eyes clear and sincere: "Ancestor Hibberdon once said that only the Holy Lady is the perfect person in the world."
So, the problem arises here.
Lin Ge remained calm on the surface, but sighed deeply in his heart.
It was difficult for him to agree with Shino's point of view. According to simple historical materialism, the only correct thing in the girl's words was that everyone has a different view of historical figures. Because of this, except for Marshal Napoleon she mentioned
In addition to the example of the red-bearded King Barbarossa, Joan of Arc should also be an example. Even in the land of the White City Republic, it is impossible for everyone to unconditionally identify with the saint and praise her spirit and deeds.
There is no shortage of critical voices, whether in books or in whispers in the streets.
However, for today's topic, these are not important. What is important is Xino's attitude. Since she sincerely believes that everyone in Baicheng should admire and worship Saint Joan of Arc, then the girl's attitude is undoubtedly very
It is clear that no matter what the facts are, they will not change.
In this case, how do you tell her that the Joan of Arc you admire is actually a member of a secret society, and that society is planning to eliminate all magic in the world to create their ideal Garden of Eden?
