After roughly understanding that Lily could freely travel through the mirror because of her bloodline, Sophia gave up exploring the mirror. She wanted to study Lily more and more, but unfortunately she couldn't do it with Aurelia beside her.
What a start! Damn it! Sooner or later, I have to find a way to spend some time alone with this mysterious little guy.
"Why are you going to the Unicorn Obelisk?" Vincent couldn't understand why Lily and Xiaojue thought of going to that kind of place. Every year, many people enter there and never come out. Lily and the others can be sent back.
This is the best result, "That place is not a place where children can play."
Lily, who knew she was in the wrong, buried her head in Aurelia's arms, pretending not to hear Vincent's question. Then everyone turned their attention to Xiao Jue, who was sitting there blankly.
The auras of the people in front of her made the little orc girl feel a little trembling. Her ears and tail were in a state of fraying hair, and she subconsciously covered her wrists.
This slightly strange behavior made Sophia notice what she wanted to hide - the strangling marks on her hands. Obviously, these were not caused by Siana, but the terrible scars caused by having her hands restrained for a long time!
"I just need to get the truth of what happened at that time, and I won't hurt you, kid." Vincent seemed to have discovered this, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to perform magic, then thought of something and retracted it.
.Although divine magic can heal fresh wounds, old wounds cannot be cured.
"...I...I'm just leading the way..." Xiao Jue seemed to see that these humans did not have any malicious intent - at least not the kind specifically aimed at her race, and asked weakly, "Then... I can go."
What?"
Sophia touched Xiao Jue's head and said with a smile: "Kitty cat, why are you so afraid of us? Have you ever been bullied before? Tell me and I will help you bully me~ Sister, I am a legend!"
"No...no..." Xiaojue lowered his head, not resisting Sophia's wanton touch, and whispered, "Then I'll take my leave first..."
No one stopped the orc girl, who exuded a deep aura, and watched her leave the room. Sophia sighed and said to herself: "She looks like a poor child... The mark on the back of her neck,
Although it has been deliberately concealed, it should be the mark of a slave, right? Does such a thing still exist in Brenno?"
Aurelia snorted coldly and said: "As long as they are motivated by profit, what can't those bastards do?"
Vincent seemed a little embarrassed. After all, Blaino has always promoted himself as a country that advocates light and justice, and he himself uses it as a code of knights to restrain himself. However, the slave trade is not something that can be banned casually. It is said that
This gray area is controlled by some great nobles, and even the royal family is involved in it... Although I have the intention to expel these hateful guys, the Knights cannot directly intervene for various reasons and take people there.
During the hunt, their information was exposed by informants arranged in advance, so that the parasites in the kingdom could receive the information in advance every time and make themselves in vain.
He knew all this, which also made Vincent very helpless. He wanted to try to unite the other two legion commanders, and even wrote directly to the king, but in the end there was no result, and in exchange he received Siana's cold eyes and ridicule.
The sighs and dissuasion of Keles, the commander of the Magic Knights.
"Let's not talk about these depressing things for now." Sofia saw Vincent's embarrassment and did not continue to press. Instead, she looked at Lily nestled in Aurelia's arms and said, "How could you even think of going?
Could it be that the Yunik Obelisk is because of Pegasus?"
Sofia could see at a glance why Lily made such a bold move - although it was a bit unbelievable, after removing all the impossible answers, the only explanation was this! Without knowing magic, Lily from other places could not be fooled
Attracted by the secrets in the Unicorn Obelisk, the only thing that could tempt her to sneak away was the Pegasus, which she had been thinking about all day long!
"Well... maybe..." Lily's face turned red, and she seemed to be aware of her recklessness. However, Lily, who had no sense of crisis at all, didn't know that her behavior of casually passing into the Unicorn Obelisk was dancing on the tip of a knife.
What a dangerous move! But because she was sent back unscathed, she now considers this matter to be on the same level as a primary school student who didn't do his homework.
Seeing Lily's reaction, Sophia seemed very helpless. After all, it was just a child's unintentional mistake. She would just remind her more in the future. She couldn't bear to blame anything: "Lily, you like Pegasus so much? You must know that Pegasus is sacred.
A creature like you is an old enemy of a dark creature like you..."
"But Pegasus is very beautiful..." In Lily's concept, beauty is the first factor, whether she is strong or not, and whether it is harmful or not is secondary. She is a complete ornamentalist. Even if Fan didn't have that much at that time
Instead of spending a lot of money to buy this high-end magic weapon, Lily would just find a beautiful sword in a craft store and give it to Lily. She would be just as happy.
Although Lily had seen the dangers of Pegasus to her before, she still couldn't stop Lily's desire to own a Pegasus - even if she didn't ride one, it would still be good to keep it and watch it every day~ Lily's thoughts were very simple...
"Don't even think about the Pegasus raised by the Feather Knights. They won't leave easily." Sophia's words made Lily feel very disappointed, but Sophia immediately said, "But I heard that this time Brenno's
In the competition held by the princess to select guardian knights, the prize for third place was a mount, I heard it looked like a Pegasus..."
"Pegasus!" Lily immediately became energetic. She didn't notice that she was just a little mage who had barely reached the apprenticeship. She couldn't get a term in such a competition. She was completely attracted by the word "Pegasus"! "It's true.
Is it? Is it true?"
"Wait a minute! That competition is not a child's play! Not just anyone can enter!" Vincent immediately interrupted Lily's delusion and dissuaded him, "Because it is only a domestic selection, except for the Blaino family,
No one else is welcome! And if you want to participate, you must be recommended and guaranteed by a nobleman above the count."
"It does require a nobleman above the count as a guarantee~" Sophia's smile looked a little weird, which made Vincent feel uncomfortable. "But I remember Vincent, you should have the title of Marquis, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"You also said that, right? Although this child is a dark creature, he has a good nature recognized by the Holy Light~"
"That's true..." Vincent frowned and said in a deep voice, "But the competition does not allow people who are not from the same race..."
"Just let me handle this matter~" Sofia winked at Vincent, and then looked at Fan, "I will also ask for a place for you."
Fan Dun, who was happily watching the show, was dumbfounded - why do I still have something to do here? Can't I be allowed to be the background? "Why do I have to participate too! Teacher Sophia?"
Boom! Sophia hit Fan on the head with a chestnut unceremoniously: "I told you to call me sister! Huh! I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't let you see the world, you will definitely cause more trouble in the future.
What a mess! And this is just a test of the skills you have learned so far!"
"Huh? But I haven't learned anything yet!" Lily grimaced, looking unhappy, "You just taught me a magic..."
"Then why don't you study hard!" Sofia glared at Lily, who was so frightened that Lily quickly shrank into Aurelia's arms, but Aurelia seemed to be on the same side as Sofia, patting Lily's head and preaching.
: "You are still too far away from your mother at this level. If you want to find her, work harder! Your mother should be waiting for you somewhere in the world..."
"Mother...?" Lily seemed a little confused. Ever since she was born, she didn't think she had such a thing as a mother, so it's hard to accept it even now. It's like a dream... But the vagueness in the memory fragments
The figure kept reappearing in Lily's mind at this moment. Her father's hoarse calling and the tears her mother shed before walking into the magic circle made Lily's eyes blurry again, "I...I don't want to find someone who just throws me away."
You’re the one who got off! Anyway! I’ll just work hard for Pegasus!”
Sofia nodded with satisfaction and waved to Vincent, gesturing for him to follow her out. Vincent followed Sofia to the corridor and asked seriously: "What on earth do you want to do?! Sybil shouldn't stay out of this."
Is it about something?"
Sofia did not directly answer Vincent's words, but held her hands on the railing of the corridor, looked at the obscure moonlight in the sky, and said as if to herself: "This world is slowly starting to get messy... I have already figured it out.
It is very likely that I will not be able to achieve my goal on this trip, and what is supposed to come will still come... But the good news is that this time I actually found an unexpected person..."
"You mean that little guy with demon blood?" Vincent seemed to understand somewhat, but he still frowned and tried to persuade Sophia, who was in a strange state, "I don't agree with your point of view, although she may have great potential.
——In other words, her nature is not bad, but this cannot change the fact that her demonic bloodline makes her more susceptible to being swallowed by darkness than normal people..."
"You don't understand...poor wooden knight~" The smile on Sophia's face became extremely deep, "That child...is not from the so-called alien continent at all! But another world!"
"Another world? You mean the demon world?" Vincent frowned even more - wouldn't that be worse? The demon world has always been known for its chaos and cruelty in rumors, and Vincent did not think that such an environment
What kind of pure life can be born under this.
Sophia sighed and said dissatisfied: "To say that you are a piece of wood is to flatter you. In addition to our world, there are multiple worlds. According to the literature, even elves, dwarves and dragons are other worlds.
Although the reality of the creatures in this world cannot be tested, in the history recorded by Sibyl, there are indeed many beings from other worlds. I think Lily is one of them - at least I have not heard of the undead here.
There is a being called a 'vampire'..."
"Speaking of which, the demonic aura on her body is really weird..." Vincent has seen many demons and killed many with his own hands, but the demonic bloodline in Lily is different from those he has come into contact with before.
Although it also carries the aura of chaos and evil, it is surprisingly peaceful.
"Whenever a visitor from another world appears, it will have a great impact on the entire world..." Sofia smiled slyly and whispered to Vincent, "In fact, the great sage of the Alkari Council today
He... is also a visitor from another world~"
Vincent's expression was dull, obviously a little unbelievable - that famous figure actually came from another world? However, he did not refute Sophia's statement, after all, that existence was difficult to describe in words, and Sophia was not like
It was pointless, because she was also the person who could get in touch with that level...
Vincent even wondered if famous people in history were visitors from another world...
"Surprised, aren't you? But just think about it~" Sophia spread her hands and said, "Magical technology was proposed and organized by the Great Sage. Such a new technology was suddenly proposed without any foundation or theory, and
It also described in detail the effects that magic technology can achieve, indicating that magic technology must exist in a certain world. However, it seems that the great sage has not mastered this technology, so he used the little bit he has mastered to understand
Mobilizing so many people to research... Let's not talk about it for now. I have a hunch that Lily is likely to be an important help in preventing this incident! But she is still too weak now and needs a lot of experience... So~ King
I’ll leave it to you to recommend me, I believe you’re capable of doing it! Goodbye~”
Without waiting for Vincent to agree, Sophia left here quickly, leaving Vincent staring at Sophia's back.
"Still as vigorous and resolute as ever..." Vincent shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked back to the room.
After thinking about it, Vincent decided to help Lily - although he didn't quite understand Sophia's intention, in essence, the matter was just more troublesome in form and not difficult. However, he had already said it in front of Siana.
However, I will be responsible for Lily's actions. If she makes any mistakes in this competition, that woman will definitely find an opportunity to make things difficult... It would be great if Freya was here...
"Holy light..." Vincent looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression a little painful...
