Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

Since the Pearl Charm's Tears is a kind of ability, when Ying Ji saw the emerald core and just had the idea of ​​wanting to revive Emelote, she knew that she couldn't cry.

Actually hugging the core and trying harder, it is true that no tears can be produced.

So far, the things that can be confirmed first have been confirmed almost.

If you want to understand the situation further, you can only seek help in the city.

Volume 24, Chapter [-], Whereabouts of Ying Ji

In front of the hut, two figures stood under the rising sun.

Ying Ji raised her head and looked up at the shade of the big tree behind the house.

Although the two of them were going to Mond City, seeing Yingji stop and turn around, Noelle didn't doubt or urge her, and waited quietly.

After a while, Noelle asked: "Master Yingji, you haven't seen Mr. Toth's hut in the world of Fatiru, have you?"

"Please call me Yingying, or you can just call me Yingji, so don't add an adult." Yingji tilted her head and smiled bitterly, and then replied: "And Mr. Toth's house, yes, I am in the room of the jewel box Zhong fell asleep for a long time, and was later arrested and returned to Splendid City. Not to mention Mr. Toth’s home, I haven’t been to other places since I was placed under house arrest.”

Speaking of this, Yingji moved her steps, tiptoed and turned her ankles.

"Speaking of it, my body seems to be much healthier than the last memory, and I can walk out so naturally... But that 'other me' came here from nowhere, and my body is stronger Of course."

Noelle asked: "Get healthy? You... You were not in good health? Ah, is it because of the core damage caused by tears?"

Although Noelle knew about Zhumei's tears, it was only an overview after all, and she didn't know specifically what would happen if Zhumei's core was damaged.

"Yes, before I was taken into the gem box room to sleep, I could hardly stand on my own for a long time. So even though I was kidnapped, in fact, even if I was kidnapped directly, the result would be the same... When I was taken away by the Jewel King , I really have no power to resist."

The breeze blows, and the long brown hair flutters.

Yingji spread her hands, closed her eyes and looked up, feeling the natural fresh air.

"However, I also had a period of traveling outside and experienced the natural scenery of Fatiru... Based on my current physical and mental feelings, if it weren't for the energy patterns in the air that are more unfamiliar in a little familiarity, otherwise I would It’s almost impossible to feel that this is a different world.”

Noelle thought for a while and said, "Mr. Toth said that the environmental energy of the hut is based on the laws of this world, with a little Fatiru style... So, when you walk outside the woods, the familiarity should be It will fade and you will feel the difference more."

Yingji nodded, still looking at the hut and the big tree, lost in thought.

After a while, he spoke softly.

"Unlike me, Mr. Todt has no memory gaps, and he knows how he came to this world, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, if that's the case, it means that at least he didn't die at the hands of the Jewel King, and continued his journey after that. Then...our clan that has perished, at least there is such a friend who mourns for us."

Noelle opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Although they didn't know the follow-up of the battle between Thoth and the Jewel King, the matter developed to the last step that Ying Ji remembered. Even if Thoth successfully eliminated the Jewel King, the destruction of the Jewel Clan was a foregone conclusion.

Pearl charms do not reproduce by blood, and losing the ability to shed tears does not affect the birth mechanism of pearl charms. Among Thoth's companions, there is a naturally born pearl charm.Therefore, the race itself will not completely disappear, but I don't know how long it will take before more pearl charms are born again, and the inheritance of the glorious city will also be cut off.

Noelle didn't know how to comfort her.

Fortunately, Ying Ji was not immersed in her emotions, she quickly turned around and gave Noelle an apologetic smile.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. In fact, I stopped because there was one thing I was more concerned about, that is, why did the 'other me' come here?"

"Huh? This..." Noelle hesitated, "Isn't it just right? Because I was hunted down, I ran here in a panic..."

Ying Ji did not answer immediately, but smiled after a while of silence and said: "Well, let's leave this forest first, I also want to take a quick look at the scenery of this world, and by the way, make some judgments."

"Ah, okay."

Hearing Ying Ji's words, Noelle looked a little more serious.

Not long after, the two crossed the tree-lined path, overlooking the Fruit Wine Lake and Mond City on the hillside.

Before setting off from the hut, Noelle had already confirmed with the hut sensor that there should be no fools ambushing nearby.Although the hut sensor cannot cover the entire hillside, the terrain outside the sensor range to the gate of Mond can be seen at a glance, and safety can be confirmed at a glance.

As soon as Noelle left the woods, he first looked in the direction where the fools evacuated last night.Although she was in a daze at the time when she saw the brilliant light, she still took note of the general movements of the Fools.

The grass in that direction, nothing to see.

While Noelle was paying attention to the surroundings, Hotaruhime also looked around the environment left and right.

"Noelle, do you still remember where the 'other me' came from?"

"From this side, but I don't know where it came from further away."

Noelle looked to the side, and Ying Ji's eyes moved along the hillside terrain, and then looked towards Mond City.

Yingji frowned slightly.

"Is your city, Mond, completely darkened and closed at night?"

Noelle shook his head and replied: "No, although it is not as lively as during the day, the city of Mond at night is still very bright when viewed from a distance. As for the gate, the bridge past is the main gate of our Mond. As for the door panels, the knights are defending the bridge in the face of monster attacks, and there are night-duty knights guarding the bridge at night... ah."

Speaking of this, Noelle himself felt something was wrong.

Yingji nodded and said: "Sure enough... I heard you said earlier that this house is very close to a city, and I was wondering if that would be the case, but now it's clearer when I actually look at it...

"From the direction you pointed, the direction of 'another me' approaching is not too much to the hut than to Mond City. Maybe the hut is a little closer, but it needs to go uphill, and Mond City obviously It is a more attractive target... If you just want to ask for help, you should run directly to Mond City."

"Indeed..." Noelle pursed her lips, her expression became tense, and at the same time, she was more confused. "Then you...the other you, why would you..."

Yingji thought about it, and said: "If you think about it more complicatedly, there are quite a lot of possibilities. Maybe the group that chased me is called fools, right? They deliberately drove me here. Of course, the reason is unknown. Let's not think too much about it.

"It may also be that 'I' knew the terrain and related information here in advance, and even knew the origin of Mr. Toth's identity. I thought this was the best direction to ask for help, so I identified the hut and went straight.

"even……"

Yingji moved her eyes slowly.

Looking at the shimmering lake, the city full of windmills.

"The 'I' may think that Mond City is also a dangerous direction."

Four volumes, 25 chapters, the glorious oath of swords and roses

Is Mond City also a dangerous direction?

This can be understood as "Mond can't guarantee her safety", but from Ying Ji's expression and meaning, Noelle understands that Ying Ji is referring to "danger may also come from Mond".

"No, no, Mond City..."

Noelle's first reaction was to justify Mond's name, but he couldn't complete the sentence.

Is Mond really safe?

Not really.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, the atmosphere that praises freedom the most, while bringing vitality to this city, it also makes the city's elements tend to be mixed.Liyue in the south is inevitably chaotic due to the exchange of goods and goods in the world, while Mengde is more because of the ease of entry and exit.

Of course, Mond is not really undefended. The knights standing at the gate are not for nothing. Pedestrians will pay attention to them when they pass by. The knights will find out a few outsiders with bad intentions from time to time, most of them are particularly vicious. commercial espionage.

Even so, it is true that the knights who write hospitality in the knight handbook are more lax in the standards of examination and interrogation than other countries.

Except for monsters such as Qiuqiu people and slimes, they would not be able to sneak into the city anyway. In addition, other threats, such as the treasure robber group and even the abyss religious group, have records of activities in the city.

Even the evil spirit of foreign law, according to the investigation after the theft of the zither of the sky, it is likely to have sneaked into Mond City before that.

As for the matter of Ying Ji, there is another one that deserves the most attention, and there is no doubt that there is definitely a group of guys in the city now, and there are a lot of them...

Fools.

Noelle wanted to bring Ying Ji into the city, of course he also considered the existence of fools.

As long as she walks openly from the main entrance to the headquarters of the Knights, and doesn't lose her mind and drag Ying Ji into a dark alley, there will be no problem.

No matter how arrogant the fools are, if they really rob people on the street, not to mention the knights will definitely help her, the adventurers will also intervene together. They have a lot of troubles with the fools when they explore the secrets of the ruins.

But Noelle imagined from the standpoint of Hotaruhime, and understood that Hotaruhime's worries were justified.

Noelle stared into Ying Ji's eyes, and said seriously: "Big Ying Ji... Well, Ying Ji, it is true that every corner of Mond City cannot be said to be safe. Their strength in the city is indeed not to be underestimated.

"However, please believe that although Mond is not a tight fortress, it has always been a city under the protection of the wind god and guarded by the Knights of the West Wind.

"And I, Noelle, the maid of the knight order, although I am not an official knight, I am also a member of the knight order.

"In order not to insult the glory of West Wind, and to live up to Mr. Toth's expectations, I will definitely protect you from any malicious threats, even if I use my life as a shield."

Under the rising sun, the silver-haired girl spoke earnestly and her face was determined.

Ying Ji looked at the other person's face, occasionally feeling a little dazed.

Coincidentally...

The pair of pupils under the silver-white hair have a slightly emerald green color to the brilliant core of Emelote that Ying Ji is protecting now.

Of course, there was no brilliant light in the maid girl's eyes, but under the reflection of the rising sun, the brilliance in those pupils was no less dazzling than any magical light.

Yingji exhaled lightly, her heart moved slightly.

——Since waking up, I have been urging myself to remain as calm as possible.

——Continue to talk, communicate, and think.Although it is necessary, it is also to stabilize the mood, or not to give myself the time to fall into fear.

——Actually, in my situation, it's not surprising how flustered I am...even, the attitude of another me may be more normal.

— Another me, are you in my heart?can you hear medo you really exist?

--Are you afraid?

——…Alas, there really was no response, did he hide too deeply, or...

——Lady Parr...Emerote...

——Can I trust her?I believe that the person in front of me claims to be familiar with Mr. Toth, and has a pair of eyes... that remind me of Aymelotte, such a girl who I have known not long ago.

Thoughts flashed through her heart for a moment, Ying Ji calmed down her fluctuating emotions, smiled and took a step forward, holding Noelle's hand.

Yingji's hands are slightly cool, but Zhumei's core is only ore, and her body is still flesh and blood. Her hands are also close to the natural temperature of human women, and there is warmth even under the coolness and tenderness.

"Thank you, Noelle. Please don't be so serious. I just listed the possibilities first, and I didn't think that Mond City would be harmful to me.

"It's just... I'm somewhat wary of stepping into a town other than the glorious city, especially a city like Mond City, which is beautiful and prosperous at a glance.

"After all, in the history of Zhumei, except for the heyday of the major cities, Zhumei has always been careful and low-key in foreign cities, and must be on guard against murder at all times.

“Such perception inevitably affected me.

"But based on the information I know now, I can also be sure that it is necessary to go to Mond City. If I want to find out all the truth, and even find other compatriots who may exist, I have no reason to stay in the hut and wait for a while. Ambiguity depends on you and Mr. Todt's protection.

"Of course, the more important thing is... I am also willing to believe in you and everything you say. I don't dare to claim how good at judging people's hearts, but I believe in light, even if it is not brilliant light, as a jewel charm, I believe in it even more The light I see."

Yingji finished.

Noelle nodded embarrassedly.

"Thank you, thank you for your willingness to believe me. But, just... uh, the rock element I used to demonstrate to you before? Can you tell a person's character from the signs of magic power?"

Ying Ji just shook her head with a smile and didn't explain much.

Then she let go of her hand and turned to look at the tree-lined passage she had just walked out of.

"In fact, I didn't finish talking just now, and there is one last guess, the possibility of the reason why the 'other me' escaped to the hut. That may be... Although it is not specific, it is not clear, but it does exist, a sense of intimacy .”

"Intimacy?" Noelle tilted her head slightly.

Yingji said: "Yes, although I had a vague feeling when I was in the hut, but at that time I was full of confusion, there were too many things to consider, and I was not sure about my vague feelings.

"When I got outside the hut, I regained my mood a little bit, and changed my position to feel it again, and the stop just now had something to do with it.

"The conclusion is that there is indeed an indescribable sense of intimacy. I don't understand why, after all, I have never been to Mr. Toth's home in Fatiru World.

"But in any case, it's possible to say that 'another me' follows from that sense of intimacy."

After finishing speaking, Yingji turned around again.

Noelle looked at Ying Ji and nodded slowly.

"I understand that everything is speculation at the moment and we can only continue to try to investigate.

"However, what I said earlier was not just to appease you, because that was also my will.

"With this rose on the gauntlet, and with the sword behind me as witness—"

The sword behind the girl's back, the name of the heart guard taken by the owner of the cottage, echoes the meaning of the seat of the same name.

The rose on the girl's gauntlet is different from the "keep tight" symbol sewn on other parts of her body. It is a precious thing that was held by a pair of warm big hands and handed to her.
