Before waking up, he looked at the little girl with silver hair and red eyes again.

She still stood blankly half a meter in front of him, without moving, as if she was just an extremely delicate and vivid beautiful doll.

Shen Yi smiled, and finally touched her head.

"I'll see you later, Aina."

-

On the outskirts of Bayland, a luxuriously constructed three-storey villa.

The main body of the villa is built with bricks of different sizes and concrete, and the overall shape is I-shaped. Most of the indoor furniture is a combination of classical and modern styles. The price may not be high, but it is stylish and elegant.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows are used on many sides of the house, with a panoramic view of the vast outdoor garden, kiosks, fountains, flowers and trees, and roads paved with white marble are spotless.

At the end of the third floor of the villa, there is a solemn and elegant crimson bedroom.

On the big black bed, Aina, who had been asleep for a long time, slowly opened her wine-red eyes. She had just woken up from the great dream.

Aina was silent for a while, "I just saw it, the great Lord of Ashes..."

The sound of rain and thunder came from her ears, and she saw the dark rain outside the window, with lightning and thunder appearing from time to time.

Such weather made Aina think of the day that changed her destiny again.

She sat up slowly, and there was a comfortable and soft big bed under her body, even though she had slept here for two months, she still hadn't fully adapted to it.

Since the Lord of Ashes came last time, she finally had her own room, but Aina felt very uneasy, living in a luxurious big house was like a dream.

"I dreamed of the great Lord of Ashes, um, there is absolutely nothing wrong, it must be Him."

Before going to sleep, she tried to contact the great Lord of Ashes in her dream with the invisibility technique she had just learned.

It really worked out.

Aina clearly remembered that she saw the great Lord of Ashes in her dream.

His body is still very large, giving people a strong shock.

Aina felt a burst of warm fire light rushing to the top of her head, like the sun at dawn, the soft light irradiated every corner of her body, sweeping away the haze and cold accumulated for a long time.

In the years after her parents died, she had never felt this way. The sudden warmth made Aina feel like she was in touch with the lost relatives again.

After waking up, Aina still remembered this moment.

The great Lord of Ashes touched her body in the dream, and Aina could still feel the residual warmth, leaving the breath of Lord of Ashes on her body.

She sat in front of the mirror in the bedroom, staring at herself in the mirror calmly.

The black velvet robe is close to the body line, revealing the white collarbone and shoulders, and the small crystal bottle necklace around the neck contains countless stardust.

This gorgeous villa, as well as the exquisite attire, were actually gifted to her by the investor of the religious order, and that person didn't even dare to look at Aina.

Everyone's attitude towards me... has changed a lot...but why don't I feel happy?

Aina knew in her heart that it was all because of the Lord of Ashes.

She suddenly felt a strong burning in her back.

The burning sensation is so intense that the heat can be felt inside the body.

"It's so hot, why does your back feel so hot?"

Enduring the pain caused by the scorching heat, Aina gently took off half of her clothes.

She turned around in front of the mirror, and there was a bright red complex ring mark on her originally fair back.

"Could this be... the mark given by the Lord of Ashes?"

Aina was a little surprised, the aura of the Lord of Ashes was all concentrated in the imprint on his back, like a brand that had just been imprinted on it.

"I am chosen..." she said to herself.

After a while, the intense burning sensation gradually disappeared.

"Ah!" She suddenly heard a scream coming from the first floor.

Aina was startled, she put on her clothes with her fingers, and quickly walked out of the house.

There were many female believers serving her outside the house. When they saw Aina's arrival, they immediately bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to look directly at her body that had been dedicated to the gods.

Aina's heart is very complicated, is this the feeling of being respected and valued?

Perhaps, not only respect and importance, but also more negative emotions towards themselves... awe, fear.

She looked at the female believers who didn't dare to look up, and suddenly remembered herself who used to always keep her head down.

Aina felt that all this was very wrong. All the rules, ranks, and status in the church always gave her an invisible sense of suffocation.

She doesn't like it.

Quickly going downstairs, Aina saw a very surprising scene.

"How is this going?"

The high priest and the believers gathered around a dozen corpses that fell on the ground, discussing a lot. There was no scar on each corpse, and the faces of the dead were very calm.

They seemed to die peacefully in their sleep.

Get eternal peace of mind.

The high priest's face was very ugly, his old face was almost clumped together with anger.

"Damn it! It's all the work of the Quiet Whisperer!"

The Sect of Quiet Words is a powerful sect distributed all over Norland.

They worship a god called the Singer of Tranquility, whose teachings are to bring true peace of mind to the world.

The teaching of Quiet Words believes that peace of mind should be the highest pursuit of human beings, not so-called happiness.

Their strength is very powerful, completely beyond the reach of the Chaos Ember Order.

No one knows the reason, but suddenly one day, the Quiet Words began to kill the Embers of Chaos all over Nolan, trying to kill them all.

The high priest had no choice but to hide in Bayland with the religious order. Outside of Bayland, the embers of chaos had been eradicated by the Word of Silence.

Although the sect's hands and feet will be bound here, at least there is the headquarters of the Anti-Magical Bureau, and even the powerful sect of the Quiet Words will not dare to attack on a large scale.

The high priest originally thought so, but the audacity of Quiet Whisper was completely beyond his expectation.

"Quiet Whisper still doesn't plan to let us go, and it doesn't plan to act in secret. Are they all lunatics? Are they not afraid of provoking people from the Anti-Magical Bureau?"

Just when he felt powerless, Aina stood out from the crowd, and the believers moved away in fear, but her thin body was very conspicuous.

"You..." The high priest wanted to say something, he very much hoped that Aina would stay in the house forever and not come out.

Aina ignored it, and what she said next shocked the high priest even more.

"We need to hold a new sacrifice. The Great Lord of Ashes will help us. This time I will preside over it."

The believers were extremely shocked, but no one objected. The high priest opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

She knew very well that everyone dared not oppose her because they were afraid of the Lord of Ashes.

But before holding a new sacrifice, Aina had a decision in her heart.

Recently, she kept dreaming about that coffee shop. The place where she stayed in the rainstorm two months ago had a certain attraction for her.

I want to see what's in there...

Chapter 20 Chapter 20 "Sura Field"

The torrential rain was still howling in the dark night, and the rise of the water surface on the road was a bit exaggerated.

Aina came to the streets of Bayland alone. This time, everyone in the religious group knew that she was coming, but no one dared to stop her.

Still walking alone in the dark, a small extravagant wish arose in her heart. It would be great if she could walk on the streets openly and aboveboard like ordinary people during the day.

She already knew that the sect was an existence that everyone shouted and beat. Even if she hadn't done anything bad, everyone would regard her as a bad person.

For years, all the members of the church had told her with certainty that the investigators of the Anti-Magical Bureau were madmen, butchers, daring and insane.

So she didn't want to touch the investigator at all.

"arrive."

Aina, who was dressed in an exquisite black robe, hid in the alley, staring at the coffee shop not far away.

It was not too late, and the lights in the cafe had not been turned off.

She knew that the people in the coffee shop must be unusual, because her back was burning hot, and as soon as she got close, the branding would inevitably become hotter.

It's just that this kind of heat is still within the tolerable range, and it even makes Aina feel comfortable.

Aina didn't know what she was going to face, but she still walked towards the coffee shop with her hands clenched.

She said to herself, "I'm going."

......

Standing behind the bar, Shen Yi calmly recalled the dream of last night, even after waking up, his memory was still very clear.

"Although I haven't communicated with her face to face, I have met this little girl three times, but every time I meet, the situation is strange."

The first two times were at the sacrifice site, and the third time was in a dream.

He thought about it carefully, and said to himself: "But there is still a difference. The little girl I saw the third time is not a real person, but just a manifestation in my dream."

"It's better to meet in a dream than to meet in reality. Fortunately, neither she nor the cultists know where I live... Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future."

The glass door of the coffee shop was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a small man in a black robe made of velvet walked in from the door.

The little girl's body was completely wet by the rain, and the water trickled down on the ground. Her long silver hair was slightly fluffy after soaking in the water.

"welcome."

When Shen Yi saw those wine red eyes, he had a premonition that something was not right.

When he saw clearly that the person who came in was not tall, and his silver-white hair was faintly exposed under the robe, his heart skipped a beat immediately.

The "shadow mask" was still in the drawer in the back room, so I had no chance to change my face.

Shen Yi turned his back decisively, leaving only a handsome and elegant back for the little girl who entered the door.
