I really only stop

The holy land of elves is quieter than imagined.Except for the occasional rustling of the treetops when the breeze blows, there is only a clear flute sounding from nowhere.

It seems that the "elf population problem" that Lacey Levy is worried about is really not unfounded.

Looking up at the tall but lonely World Tree in front of him, Lu Xi scratched his cheek subtly.

...It's a good sense of sight, and I always feel that your Excellency, the president of the council, and a certain AI that spawned chips will have a lot in common.

"This is the original seal mentioned earlier [Protection of the World Tree]."

Respectfully performing a wonderful etiquette to the World Tree, Lacey Livi stretched out her hand and introduced:

"This seal was not made by anyone, it was a miracle created by nature itself. According to the legend of the elves, when the first elves were born under the World Tree, the first existence they saw when they opened their eyes was This natural seal—and this has also become the beginning of the flourishing seal system.”

"Oh, this story is also recorded in this guide book!"

The little hand flipped through a few pages of the guide book written by Lacey Levy herself, and Nana murmured out a certain paragraph above:

"[As the original life, the World Tree kindly provided endless knowledge and shelter to the original elves. Under the blessing of this great existence that goes straight to the root, the ignorant newborn races grew and expanded rapidly. In the end, these natural darlings voluntarily became became the guardian and representative of the world tree, and gradually prospered.]”

"In other words, this seal is the beginning of all existing elf seals?"

After listening to this wonderful and epic story, the eyes of Miss Saintess subconsciously turned to the natural pattern on the branch of the World Tree—then, she froze there for a long time.

【——】

That is a feeling that cannot be described in words.

The moment she saw the lines on the tree, a clear and cool sense of transparency spread from the top of Yuxia's head to her whole body.While sweeping away the chaotic thoughts, it also made her feel extremely peaceful.

The normally passing time seemed to be infinitely elongated by some ancient existence. For a moment, Yuxia felt as if the world around her had faded and disappeared, leaving only the mysterious and mysterious natural stone in front of her eyes. texture.Even the Mosuo sound of the breeze blowing the leaves in her ears seemed to have a different kind of Zen, telling her the truth of the world.

In a trance, a somewhat familiar and inexplicably nostalgic gentle voice sounded softly in Yuxia's ear, as if asking a question, but more like teaching carefully:

[What is the thing you have been insisting on? 】

Stick to something?

In such a clear state of body and mind, Yuxia subconsciously replied in her heart:

"Love and Rightness."

【——】

The breeze blew again, and the airflow with a little nostalgic aroma brushed Yuxia's cheeks, as if [someone] was caressing her tenderly:

[I'm glad you can come up with such an answer, but when these two things conflict, what should you do? 】

"..."

Facing this question, Yuxia couldn't help but pause.

... There is no way to lie.

In the Phantom Thief incident, when I saw the cadre Phantom appearing in front of me as that person, I was so flustered that even I couldn't help but be surprised.

[Correctness] as the Holy Empress and [Love] as Yuxia, when these two incomparably precious things conflict, there is only an indescribable confusion in my heart.

Fortunately, at the end, I proved that the person is not him.

I can't choose, so I can only believe.Believe that the [correct] I choose is [correct], trust him and support him with everything I have.

There is absolutely no problem with that person, and it is absolutely impossible for that person to have a problem.

Although he is usually lazy, he is more serious and reliable than anyone else when it comes to big things.With such an optimistic and gentle man, no matter how he thinks about it, it is impossible for him to do bad things——

【——However, what if the day comes when conflicts cannot be avoided? 】

The gentle voice sounded again, but what she said directly pointed out the biggest anxiety in the girl's heart:

[At that time, which side do you want to choose?Is it something that you have always insisted on, that was taught to you by others?Or did you find it by yourself and want to spend your whole life with it? 】

Although she usually looks gentle and reliable, from a certain point of view, Yuxia is the most easily shaken one in the team.

When Nana encounters a problem, she will try her best to avoid it. Celica will give up decisively when she finds that she can't think of an answer. will be more tangled.

I still remember that at that time, the evaluation of Yuxia given by Osiris was [very solemn, very serious, very persistent, and rare pure].Under her gentle and powerful appearance, there is actually a slightly innocent and pure heart hidden unexpectedly.

Facing this undisguised, straight-to-the-heart question, Yuxia didn't know how to answer for a moment:

"me……"

【Then, let me tell you the answer, Yuxia. 】

The voice in the ear became more and more gentle, and in a trance, it reminded the girl of a soft conversation between herself and [that person] in the deep memory of a certain afternoon, warm and quiet:

[There is no need to make a choice at all, the real right in the world is actually——]

"—Hey! Yushia!!!"

The voice of shouting rang in the girl's ears like lightning flashing across the sky. At the same time, the shoulders of Miss Saintess were firmly grasped and shook mercilessly.

The previously mysterious and inexplicably nostalgic atmosphere disappeared completely because of this call, and the surrounding world returned to normal again.

After suddenly coming back to her senses, looking at the petite figure with an anxious expression in front of her, Yuxia blinked her eyes in a daze:

“……塞莉卡？”

"Really! I've been talking to Yuxia just now, but Yuxia actually ignored me! To be honest, I almost died because of【Could this be the bullying and exclusion in the team?!】 Cry out!"

Although she seemed to be pouted angrily, Celica was relieved to see Yuxia finally returned to normal:

"What happened just now? Why did Yuxia keep staring at that strange pattern in a daze?"

"—Goo!"

Reflexively glanced at Lu Xi's direction, Miss Saintess blushed like Wang Jiang whose tail had been stepped on:

"No, it's okay, it was just a habitual distraction just now."

Eh?Ask me why I don't tell the truth?

For example, if you honestly say what you just thought, you will be ashamed!Ever since the embarrassing cry at the end of the Phantom Thief incident in the Imperial Capital, I have made up my mind not to cause trouble for everyone like this again!

What's more, I don't want to be looked at by Lu Xi with weird eyes!Even the high-status Holy Empress should always pay attention to her image as a girl in front of the person she likes, right?

"O-Is that so?"

Although she still faintly felt that something was wrong, seeing Yuxia's oppressive eyes, she felt that Lika still closed her mouth obediently.

However, if she doesn't say anything, it definitely doesn't mean that the other person will also keep silent.

"...What a superb understanding and talent."

She clapped her hands with admiration, and Leixi Liwei said to Yuxia who was a little dazed:

"If I'm not wrong, what happened to you just now is [epiphany]."

Chapter 643 What She Wished——

Facing the amazed eyes of the leader of the Elf Council, Yuxia didn't react for a while:

"You just said...【Enlightenment】?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you guys before I came here?"

Nodding her head as a matter of course, Leixi Liwei pointed to the natural lines that Yuxia had just stared at:

"As a great existence directly connected to the origin of the world, there are almost [infinite] possibilities hidden in this seal. People often come up with a new idea of ​​magic or alchemy in a daze. Put it in Yuxi Ya's body should be the new holy art, right?"

"A new holy technique?"

It was only then that he hammered the palm of his hand belatedly, and a bit of disbelief appeared in Yuxia's eyes:

"It's actually true! [Holy Art · Holy Light Contract 'I Do (I DO)'], the effect is to sign a holy light contract with the designated object that cannot be violated and will never be betrayed, as long as the distance between the two people who signed the contract is within five Within meters, all attributes will be greatly improved, and additional effects of restoring blood volume - recovery, gain, contract... A holy art can have so many functions at the same time. There is no doubt that this is a brand new advanced sacred art!"

"That's right, this is the meeting gift from World Tree~"

As if this gift was given by her, Big Sister Lacey Levy proudly puffed up her chest:

"To be honest, it's also the first time I've seen someone who can realize new skills so quickly. Sure enough, my Yuxia is a genius in various senses~"

"Master Lei, Lacey Levi! Please don't say such embarrassing words anymore!"

--------------

"You really deserve to be a saint with a super brain. Obviously, I also read that seal, but the new puppet design did not appear in my head along with the [epiphany]..."

Sighing a little disappointed, the soft girl turned to look at Lu Xi:

"Eh? Why is Lu Xi trembling? Could it be that you also [epiphany] developed some new skills?"

"...No, it's just pure anxiety."

Stretching out his hand to wipe away the sweat that didn't exist, Lu Xi tremblingly looked at the blank holy light contract in Miss Saint's hand:

"Nai Nai, don't you think Yuxia who got [that skill] is a bit scary?"

"Scary? Why?"

Tilting her head slightly, the soft girl looked a little puzzled:

"I think that [I DO] skill is very powerful. As long as you sign the contract, you can get support and strength from each other——no matter in terms of practical or symbolic meaning, it is what I want most. ability!"

Nana, I think you don't understand at all.

Unable to continue talking about this issue with the soft girl with clean eyes, Lu Xi rubbed his forehead vigorously.

——To tell you the truth, after hearing the name and ability of that holy art from Yushiya, [Beast Intuition], which was lying quietly on my skill list, suddenly jumped up.

What does it mean?doom?Or is it dangerous?

At present, I still have a little understanding of the abnormality of the beast's intuition, but if the prediction is not bad, there will probably be some action on Yushiya's side soon——

"Come on, Lucy, sign this contract with me~"

"okay."

Subconsciously took the pen of holy light that came out of his hand thoughtfully, Lu Xi was just about to sign his name on the blank space in the direction pointed by that familiar finger. react.

[time stop]! ! !

Too dangerous!This girl is really too dangerous!

Using an overly sweet voice and a super natural tone to coax people who are distracted into signing inexplicable contracts without knowing it, isn't this something that only a veritable [devil] can do! ?

time-stop release.

"—Wait! Wait a minute! Yuxia, what did you ask me to sign suddenly?!"

Tightly holding the Pen of Light in his hand, Lu Xi looked at the Holy Light Contract in shock:

"Why can't I understand a word of the text on it? Are you writing in Common Language?"

"No, this is a language called 'Ancient Aeolian', which can only be understood by a few very knowledgeable scholars."

Speaking of content that cannot be easily skipped, Miss Saintess still maintains a bright smile:

"But it doesn't matter, right? As long as you sign this with me, everyone will be able to share super powerful buffs when fighting side by side~"

Where did this girl learn the salesmanship?Even if you use the enthusiastic sales tone of "as long as the customer pays for our hydrogen-rich water machine, you and your family will be free from all diseases and be happy for 50 years" can't hide your attempt to get me to sign Facts about a dubious contract that you can't even understand the contents of!

After all, why did you deliberately write the content of the contract in words that I couldn't understand?What if the content above is very bad?I have seen a lot of the development of the strange contract signed by mistake and finally turned into an unexplainable situation in various small notebooks!

grip.

Just as Lu Xi was complaining quickly from the bottom of his heart, a pair of warm and soft hands suddenly covered his right hand holding the Pen of Light. Ringing in the ear:

"Speaking of which, in the last incident, it seems that Lu Xi still owes me a wish - so, I can only sign it?"

——This is a beauty trick! ! !

By the way, didn't we all tacitly express that we have completely lost our memory of the [character swap event]?Why do you still remember only the agreed things? !

The ears that belonged to the sensitive zone were tickled by the hot air exhaled by Miss Saint, even though the rationality was shouting 'No! ', but Lu Xi's hand still moved to the blank place of the Holy Light Contract quite honestly.

Undoubtedly, this time Miss Saintess accurately grasped Lu Xi's character of "eating soft but not hard" and completely put him into the state of [Charm Saintess Exclusive Edition] with a series of continuous gentle straight punches .

This is an upright conspiracy, even if Lu Xi clearly sees this, it is definitely not easy to say no to it.

——However, Yusia, who has a sweet voice, if you think that I am just like that, you are very wrong!

Different from the roundabout conversation with Mamayi, after this series of adventures and growth, I am no longer that earthling who can't even recognize ancient characters!

Speaking of my cards——
