On the wide avenue, the black-haired boy looked at the majestic buildings in front of him and sighed. Luo Ya didn't look at this familiar scene any more, but moved forward with ease.
The royal city of Altacia, this is the place where Roja has visited several times, so there is no possibility of getting lost, but what makes the boy speechless is that for the witch king who always likes to use snapping fingers instead of various ways of movement. Said, it seems that only the way to meet her cannot be saved, it is like something like a sense of ritual.
The boy really didn't understand the fact that it would take a lot of time to walk like a pilgrimage to this land, but Altasia didn't seem to want to give in.
"Although efficiency is also very important, and I like it very much, hero hero, there are always some things that can't be omitted, just like lovers who love each other need suitable occasions to confess, everything must be done step by step."
Looking at Altasia, who raised her fingers on the throne and answered her questions happily, the black-haired boy couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.
"I understand, but your example is really inappropriate."
"It's similar, why don't I think our relationship is closer? After all, the contract cannot be torn down. Our connection is more certain and stronger to a certain extent."
"..."
Hearing the white-haired witch with some pleasant words, Roja thought for a moment and still did not say anything. In fact, as Altacia said, the connection between Roja and the ancient gods is almost indifferent to each other. If you lose everything, you can even be called a family member to some extent, especially in this situation.
"So, you specifically called me to your royal city because you were happy?"
"Of course, this is the most difficult and dangerous victory of the hero. After offering my blessings of victory to my contractor, you successfully responded to my expectations. Then it is necessary to give praise and rewards after everything is over.
As Altacia said so, she showed a rare smile that Roja could see very happily, and Akane's eyes narrowed slightly.
"And most importantly, let the guy who dared to insult me completely disappear, and completely destroy the divinity of the King of Angels, even in ancient times, almost no one could do it."
"What you are talking about are Noelle's achievements, right? It has nothing to do with me. The curse didn't come in handy in the end."
"Really, the hero does not think that this girl can do such a thing? You changed her destiny, just like the foundation of power you found yourself. You did it and satisfied me. pleasure."
"Is this an appreciation?"
"Yes, Master Hero never disappoints me."
Yixue’s shameful witch stroked her cheek and smiled, while the young man who was praised by the witch shrugged helplessly. He looked at the somewhat excited witch and continued to ask:
"But, you called me, not just because of this, right?"
"... Indeed, after all, there was a bit of bad smell on the hero after coming back."
The white-haired witch paused when she heard Roja's question, her smile on her face narrowed slightly, and under the throne, the black-haired boy showed an expression that was not unexpected.
After the angel’s power was taken back by Noel, Roja’s connection with Altacia and Petra was restored. This is naturally a fortunate thing, but to be honest, Petra pulled Roja into his own world. It doesn't matter if you care about it, the witch has a sense of disobedience in doing this, after all, the two people have different feelings for Roja.
The mother goddess, who is overwhelmed by maternal love, cares about the child after the battle. This is an emotionally understandable behavior, but the relationship between the witch and the boy is very chaotic. Altacia is so anxious to see Roja, she must have to remind him The matter, and what this matter is, Roja also knows to some extent.
"After all, the depravity of your body is too strong, hero hero, what have you encountered?"
Sniffing the rich and unknown aura on Roja's body, Altacia's eyes gradually sharpened to ask questions. The black-haired boy recalled the previous battle and thought about it for a moment to summarize.
"The enemy, an enemy who can seal my blood and origin and enter the space called the sanctuary."
"what?"
At the moment when he heard Roja’s words, the expression of the king of the witch who was sitting on the throne suddenly changed and stood up abruptly, but Roja’s gaze relented when he saw the reaction of Altasia. Keep shrinking.
It’s the first time Altacia has shown such a surprised expression in front of him since seeing this king of witches. Even in moments of life and death, this elusive woman has never been nervous, but This time, Luo Ya's words seemed to have an impact on her, and the reasons might be the last sentence.
"Altacia, it seems you know what the temple is."
Looking at the witch whose face became more solemn after re-settlement, Roja said so with almost certain conviction, and the white-haired woman who heard it did not refute. The ancient bloodline of the selected king clan has been deeply studied, and the witches have indeed heard of the meaning of the temple.
After staring at the black-haired boy for a while, Altasia's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he whispered:
"Sanctuary, that is the sacred place where the king is selected in the legend, and it is also the place where it begins and ends, but it is said that only qualified people can enter that area."
"Qualified?"
"Well, I don't know the specific situation. Maybe it's some kind of unique secret technique, maybe some blood connection. In short, it's definitely not a place that anyone can enter."
"..."
Altacia’s words were a bit heavy, and Roja, who heard the words, flashed his eyes and became silent. According to Brian’s last words, the enemy who was watching him in the dark seemed to have been monitoring the Acate family for many years. He was In the process, found a way to enter the sanctuary, or... he can come and go as freely as Roja from the beginning
Such a question arose in his heart, which inevitably gave the boy some bad imagination, but just as the witch was shocked by Roja's words, Roja also keenly noticed the difference between Altacia and usual.
The appearance of the Fallen seems to make the witch who has never cared much about external things attached great importance to it, and even this enemy who has left is rare to deal with. Such obvious warning and hostility is really unusual.
"Altacia, you seem to be very sensitive to the existence of the fallen?"
"Sensitive? It's not so much sensitivity as conditioned instinct. After all, whether it is for us or the king's clan, they are absolute enemies."
"Absolute enemy?"
"Yes, don’t the heroes find it strange? Your family is often in a gray area in the long history, hiding in the dark for even longer, but why can you end up with that group of disgusting fallen people? Such an enmity?"
Hearing such a question from the white-haired witch, Roja couldn't help but was taken aback, recalling the information collected so far and said:
"Because we have a hostile relationship with the Savior and interfered with his resurrection."
"It is true, but this is only a result, not a cause. In fact, the real reason is the special status of our two clans in ancient times. Whether it is the election of the king or the witch of punishment, it can be regarded as Xi'a's survivor. It’s natural to guard and warn us. After the savior’s madness, it is their instinctive existence to clear us."
Altasiya put his hands on his knees and explained in a cold voice, the killing intent in the words could hardly be concealed, while Roja became serious because of the sudden news, recalling the illusion of the original goddess he saw when he was promoted to source level 3. .
The selection of kings in the ancient times, I am afraid that it really has a deep connection with Xia, but after a long time, the original goddess no longer exists, and the inheritance of this ancient clan has been cut off. If it weren’t for Altasiya’s blog The witch of Wen Guangzhi, I am afraid that Roja will never be clear about some things.
"My hero, please be careful. Their goal is definitely you, especially the one who can enter and leave the sanctuary."
"Yes, I know."
Luo Ya, who was rarely concerned by the witch, nodded slightly, and already had some thoughts in his heart, but after warning, Altasia also returned to normal, with a smile on her mouth again.
"However, although I don't want you to be hurt, it's too boring to spend every day plainly. My heart is really contradictory."
"As expected to be a witch, she is really capricious."
"Yes, so the only option is to kill those disgusting bugs and leave them alone. Haha, I'm really looking forward to it."
The witch with her hand stroking her cheek smiled happily, her squinted eyes flashing with the desire to kill, after a long time of excitement, the witch finally looked at the black-haired boy and got up and saluted.
"Then, let's stop here this time. You are tired after such a difficult battle. Please take a good rest, Master Hero."
"It's you who interrupted my rest."
Sighing helplessly, the black-haired boy said goodbye, and everything around him gradually distorted in the next moment, and finally turned into darkness.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
When he woke up from his sleep, Roya Acate's body had a deep exhaustion. The black-haired boy closed his eyes and felt the state of his body, and finally understood the meaning of Altasiya's words.
The battle that was carried out during the period of serious injury, and the battle that used almost all means, seemed to seriously overdraw Roja's body, especially the group skill [Chilei’s Roar] that finally shook Brian’s mind. For the bad Roja, the burden seems to be too great.
Even after being promoted to Source Level 3, the black-haired teenager's physical condition did not improve significantly, and it seems that it was because of Noelle's successful promotion that he relaxed and let go of his heart. After the tight string was relaxed, he was more tired. .
Feeling the heaviness of his body, Luo Ya opened his eyes with a sigh in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that his goal was a smiling familiar figure.
At this time Roja was in a wooden house, remembering to be one of the remaining houses in the post, and on the chair in front of the boy’s bed, the blonde girl was bathing in the morning light and smiling at him, that beautiful and holy Loya couldn't help but stay in a daze.
"Noelle? Why are you here?"
"I said, was this reaction when I saw me after waking up? Didn't we always be in the same room before?"
"It was true before, but it won't work now, Earl Hanks and the others are also."
Thinking of the head of the pious and loyal referee, Roja could not help being a little big head. No matter how much Noelle is also a princess, although the two are close to outsiders, Roja has always been very courteous. Nowadays, he is alone. Being in the same room, or when one party is asleep, the spread of this kind of thing is obviously not good for Noelle's comment.
Thinking back to the distance the two had deliberately maintained last night, the black-haired boy was puzzled, but the blond-haired girl didn't care about it.
"It's okay, after all, I have a good reason to be by your side now."
"Huh? Good reason?"
"...Look at the sky outside?"
Her Royal Highness stretched out her hand to lift the hair from her ear and looked out the window. The black-haired boy also shifted his sight, and then she found something wrong.
Although there was nothing wrong with the sunshine outside, it was a bit too bright. Luo Ya clearly remembered that the plan made last night was set off immediately after dawn, but the situation now does not look like dawn.
"It's noon now...you are sick, fool."
"Hey?"
Hearing Noelle's words, the black-haired boy's eyes widened and his face was astonished. After hearing the girl's narrative, he learned the situation.
According to Noelle, Roja did not show up at the planned time this morning, so Hankst sent someone, but unexpectedly, the black-haired boy couldn’t wake up. After the examination, it was discovered that he was actually sick. , And after listening to the girl's words, Luo Ya finally understood why the witch said to take a good rest this time when she said goodbye.
"Sorry for the delay, let's go now. If you go fast, you might be able to..."
"Lie down."
"Huh? No, actually I..."
"I said lie down. Is this an order, or do you like me to help you decently with chains?"
"..."
Looking at the blonde girl with a smile on her face but no smile in her eyes, Roja straightened up and lay down honestly, but then couldn't help but speak:
"It's okay for me, and high-level transcendents will hardly get sick, right?"
"It's true that high-level transcendents rarely get sick, but because of this, once they get sick, it means their body has reached its limit."
Facing Roja's sophistry, the blond girl retorted with a serious face. She stared into the eyes of the boy in the hospital bed, and asked with a slight anger:
"You lied to me yesterday? Why did Brian just call a helper. The battle ended very quickly. Isn't the real process full of danger? You..."
"..."
The blonde girl clenched her fists at this point, and Luo Ya didn't know what to say for a while. It is estimated that the sudden physical discomfort made Noelle suspicious, and the dangerous moment he had taken lightly was probably already taken by Han. X and others were exposed.
I thought that the teenager here had some headaches, but it seemed to be because Roya was still ill, and Noelle didn’t study it deeply. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the room, took some food back, and heated it with a spell without saying a word. Then silently raised the fork.
"Open your mouth."
"No, this myself..."
"...Are you deliberately annoying me? After cheating on me, you still want to reject me. After all, it's not the first time this kind of thing happened. Open your mouth."
"..."
Under the reasonable and well-founded words of the blonde girl, the teenager who had been tied up and played with feeding thought for a while and honestly chose to surrender, but what surprised him was that it was different from the first time, this time the girl's feeding There are no other factors, only carefulness and gentleness, and this also made Luo Ya a little embarrassed for a while.
As the noble princess, Noelle's feeding is not for xp but for taking care of others. This kind of thing is unprecedented, and seeing such a rare and gentle girl, the strong contrast made Roya's heart touched for granted.
"Well, the neighborhood is not very safe, right? Is it okay to stay here for a day?"
"As for the aliens nearby, I have killed them all because of their blood, and it's not just you, the soldiers who have gone through a long distance and experienced fierce fighting are also very tired, and there is nothing to rest for a day."
The blonde girl said so, smoothing Roya's worry without a trace, and as the feeding was over, the emotions of the two people also calmed down, and the princess reached out and stroked the boy's forehead, thinking about what Roya was doing before waking up. Eventually, his cheeks gradually became flushed.
The symptoms of the black-haired teenager now have actually improved a lot. During the period before waking up, the teenager who was so feverish that he was talking in sleep murmured Noelle's name more than once, and it was precisely because of this that the princess had I couldn't bear to leave here for a moment, and forbid everyone to enter, and occupied the boy's room for so long.
Thinking of this incident, the girl’s face was hot, and she whispered unconsciously. It was undoubtedly a sincere heart that could not be faked. It was precisely because of this that Noelle's heart moved. However, she would not be right about this incident. The teenager mentioned that, after all, the uncontrollable girl also made some small actions...
"Huh? What's wrong with my lips? The food is not wiped clean?"
Perceiving Noelle's sight, Luo Ya hand stroked his lips and asked suspiciously. The blond girl's cheeks blushed, and she stretched out her jade hand to block the boy's mouth, instructing like a doctor:
"Don't talk, sleep."
