"Sister, did sister really say that?"
Although her tone remained calm, it was not difficult to see her inner emotional fluctuations from the elf girl's slightly blushing expression and even the expectant look she gave César.
This guy is really a sister complex. No wonder he was so hostile to me before... Xizel nodded with a smile: "The goddess of life did say that. I can guarantee this with the faith of the goddess of fate."
The question is, do you trust the goddess of fate...?
If Yves was there and heard this, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back her complaints.
Everyone knows that no god responded to Xi Ze'er's faith test before, and now using the goddess of fate as a guarantee... is totally unreliable.
If it were normal, Tiana would definitely be able to react.
But now she was already immersed in what César had just said, so much so that she seemed to be a little dizzy.
At this time, Xizel said at the right time: "Your sister actually said more than that... But now is not the time to chat, I have something else to deal with."
"If you are interested, you can follow me."
Although she wanted to ask more questions, Tiana hesitated for a moment as she saw César leaving the room, and immediately followed him.
Soon, the two of them walked along the path of the manor and vaguely saw a villa standing in the garden in front of them.
There were two gardeners watering the plants in the villa, and there were also many maids in the manor.
Xizel pulled a passing maid over to the door and said, "Wait a moment, I want to ask you something."
"Master Xi, Master Xizel...? Why are you here?"
There was a hint of fear in the maid's eyes, and her voice seemed to tremble unconsciously.
Xizel raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is there any place in Pound Manor that I can't go to?"
Speaking of which, this place seems familiar... It seems to be the territory of Craig's biological mother, Mrs. Ashley.
Apart from Craig, it seemed that only the servants came here on weekdays.
However, his brother has always been a conspicuous person. If he is really related to the laws of the world, he has probably been exposed. It is impossible that there has been no movement until now.
Xizel asked in a deep voice: "Who has been around here today?"
The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "On weekdays, apart from Mrs. Ashley, there are only the servants who are responsible for serving..."
At this point, the maid seemed to have thought of something and continued, "By the way, Miss Novia came this morning... Madam asked her to stay in the villa, and it seems that she is going to have lunch later."
Xizel hesitated for a moment, threw two gold coins into the maid's arms, and said, "I understand. You can leave first."
Two gold coins, it is difficult for an ordinary person to save up even if he works for three months without eating or drinking. For the reward of asking questions, such a reward is undoubtedly very generous.
A hint of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes. After thanking him repeatedly, she bowed respectfully and quietly left.
9 César looked up at the villa standing under the sky in front of him and fell into a brief contemplation.
0 I must have seen it right...someone has indeed used the laws of the world.
4 But as long as it is a god-level existence, it can more or less use some of the laws of the world... Could it be that there is a god hiding in Pound Manor?
8 Xizel couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart, and soon looked away and was about to leave.
4. “Strange…”
2 At this moment, Tiana, who had been following him quietly, suddenly widened her eyes, raised her head and stared at the classically luxuriously decorated villa in front of her, her expression full of surprise and suspicion.
9 "What's wrong?" Xizel asked subconsciously.
0 Under César's astonished gaze, Tiana slowly stretched out her hand, and the sword of Kabbalah that was powerful enough to threaten the gods quietly condensed in her palm.
5 At this moment, the Sword of Kabbalah was trembling slightly, as if it had sensed something.
Tiana slowly raised her head, her green eyes showing a hint of surprise, and said, "There seems to be something in here... This is the first time I've seen the Sword of Kabbalah react so strongly."
Something had caused the Sword of Kabbalah to resonate... and it was right inside Lady Ashley's villa?
After a brief moment of contemplation, Xizel quickly looked up at the elf girl in front of him.
"Can you take me in to have a look? There is a sensor barrier outside. If I barge in rashly, I will definitely be noticed by Mrs. Ashley."
Tiana raised her eyebrows slightly and asked doubtfully, "Isn't Pound Manor your home? Do you need to sneak into your own home?"
Xizel sighed: "Even the Pound Manor is divided into several factions... The complexity of us humans is beyond your imagination."
You know, in the academy of the Western Continent, a girls' dormitory alone can be divided into several groups, not to mention that Grand Duke Oka is a great noble of the empire, and Madam Ashley's son is not on good terms with César... If he stated his purpose, the other party would probably reject him with a high probability.
"Do you have any solution?" Xizel continued to ask.
Tiana glanced at the boy and said, "The barrier here was set up by a high-level barrier master. An ordinary sixth-level barrier master will be sensed the moment he breaks in...but the power of Kabbalah will naturally bring all things in the world closer. If you follow me later, you won't be sensed by the barrier."
Can the power of Kabbalah be used in this way...?
Er Xizel was a little surprised, but seeing that Tiana was already walking towards the villa, he immediately followed her.
Nine...
In the four villas.
In front of the terrace, a lady who looked quite gentle was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee in her hand. She looked at the red-haired beauty beside her with a smile on her face and said:
Four "Novia, the Marquis of Burton and the Pound family have always been close friends. Although the Grand Duke has to leave the manor temporarily for some business, you can still come to the manor often. Don't be too restrained. Just treat it as returning to your own home."
After a brief pause, the lady said gently, "Now that Césaire is married, you don't have to worry about the Grand Duke or your father forcing you to marry Césaire."
After all, now that the Grey Mist Land and the Camelot Empire have made peace, an alliance between the two sides is an inevitable trend. At this critical juncture... who would dare to have any evil thoughts towards Xizel?
When Lu heard this, Novia smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Ashley.”
Although Si said this, Novia didn't seem to be particularly happy.
As a member of the tribe with Reinhardt blood, Novia is naturally very proud.
In the past, Xizel was a notorious good-for-nothing young master in the royal city... If we really marry him one day, even the reputation of the Reinhardt family will be damaged...
That was why she tried every possible means to avoid this situation from happening.
And now, things have come to a successful conclusion.
However...from the beginning of the wedding, Novia found that something was wrong.
Although the wedding of the century was initiated by Pandora, it was not so much Pandora who was the protagonist at that time, but rather César who seemed to be the center of the vortex.
Moreover, at that time, both the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Destruction had taken the initiative to extend olive branches to Xizel... Although the two goddesses might have competed with each other, the name Xizel still became the focus of people's discussion.
Maybe... he's not as bad as I thought?
But no matter what, now that the assessment in the Clock Tower has ended, there will be no more involvement between her and Xizel in the future... There is no need to think so much at this point.
Thinking of this, Novia couldn't help but smile, then she stood up and said goodbye at the right time.
"I have something else to do later, so I won't disturb your rest, Madam."
Mrs. Ashley nodded with a gentle smile, then she stood up and walked Novia out of the villa along the stairs.
Just as the two were leaving, two figures searched for Jiu Lingwu and appeared on the terrace.
"I didn't expect that the fluctuation of the laws of the world would happen in Mrs. Ashley's villa... Could she be the mastermind behind this?"
Xizel turned his head and looked through the terrace at the lady who was seeing Novia off downstairs, and couldn't help muttering.
Of course, instead of guessing here, it is better to find the source of the fluctuations in the laws of the world as soon as possible... the answer will naturally be revealed.
Tiana obviously had the same idea and asked, "Can you sense the existence of that thing?"
Xizel closed his eyes, and after feeling it for a while, he opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction: "Follow me."
The two walked through the terrace and hall, and soon arrived at the backyard of the villa.
The flower beds in the backyard are planted with flowers of various colors, but apart from that, there is nothing else to be seen.
But Xizel's perception quickly made him aware of the abnormality here, and his sight quickly fell on a big tree not far ahead.
"There are fluctuations of the laws of the world at that location..."
As Xizel opened his mouth, Tiana had already drawn her sword, and in an instant, the barrier hidden in this space suddenly shattered.
A void gate covered by thick fog quietly came into view.
Xizel's body tensed up almost instantly, staring at the empty door in front of him.
At this moment, he could clearly feel... behind this door, there were extremely strong fluctuations of the laws of the world!
Could it be that... the real culprit who controls the laws of the world has been hiding in Pound Manor all along, secretly manipulating everything and even suppressing the growth of the Kabbalah Tree?
"Did the Sword of Kabbalah react?" Xizel quickly turned around and looked at the Elf Sword Master beside him and asked.
Tiana slowly spread out her palms, looked at the sword of Kabbalah that was trembling more and more strongly at this moment, and said faintly: "It is indeed the movement coming from here."
"Does this sword actually respond to the laws of the world?" Xizel couldn't help but be a little surprised.
“After all, the growth of the sacred tree was suppressed by the laws of the world not long ago. As a weapon born from the sacred tree, it is not surprising that it can sense the aura of the laws that suppress itself.” Tiana said.
Xizel nodded slightly, and after a brief thought, he finally decided to go in and take a look, even if it was just to confirm from the outside what was inside.
He took Tiana's hand and walked through the foggy void gate together.
Tiana did not struggle to break free. If they got separated in a place like this, no one knew what would happen.
The light was everywhere, and when the two stepped into the gate of the void, the fog gradually dissipated, and what came into view before their eyes was an endless grassland.
The grass was planted with exotic flowers and plants, which even Tiana didn't know what they were. The layout was quite exquisite, and the melodious chirping of birds could be heard in her ears, as if she had returned to the most primitive nature.
And the strong fluctuations emitted by the laws of the world just now... have completely disappeared at this moment.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a world behind the void gate…” Xizel couldn’t help but whispered to himself.
Although he knew that every god had the ability to open the 'void' and even build a divine domain in the void... this was the first time he had seen such a huge world.
Judging from the situation in this "realm", although it is not as huge as his inner world, it is at least much larger than the realms of many gods.
Tiana, who was standing by, was alert all the time, staring at the end of the grass in front of her, and said, "That's where the sword of Kabbalah is pointing..."
Xizel pondered for a moment, and immediately made up his mind: "Then let's go over and take a look."
After all, we are already here. If we give up and leave now, we don’t know if we can find this place next time.
The two continued to go deeper. The road leading to the end changed from the original wide avenue to a quiet path. The sky gradually became gloomy. A lake appeared in front of them, with a rather simple wooden house built next to it.
"This way..."
"Come over here..."
At this moment, Xizel's mind suddenly moved, and he vaguely heard a soft voice that seemed to bewitch people's hearts coming from his ears.
The voice was so moving, as if it was filled with some special magic.
As this voice sounded, Xizel's eyes seemed to lose focus and he involuntarily turned towards the direction of that extremely gentle voice.
"Good boy... come over here..."
The sky was gloomy, and the lanterns on both sides of the path lit up one by one, as if welcoming the first guest who set foot here.
After passing through the quiet path, I finally saw this cottage standing by the lake at the end of the path.
The mumbling that seemed to be able to infect people's emotions just now had already disappeared.
In this world filled with white fog, you can only vaguely see the warm lights on in the house through the glass windows of the cottage.
Under the light, there seemed to be a person sitting there vaguely.
The Sword of Kabbalah was just trembling, as if it had its own intelligence. It sensed the real culprit behind the suppression of the sacred tree, so it wanted to find someone to fight.
However, as it approached the hut, it stopped moving and just injected a wisp of life magic into Tiana's body.
Tiana had been in a trance from the beginning, and only became slightly more awake with the blessing of this strand of life magic.
She couldn't help biting her tongue secretly, her expression extremely alert: "Be careful... there's something strange about this place."
However, as she opened her mouth, the lights in the cabin flickered on and off.
Tiana's ears were keenly aware of the footsteps, and she almost raised her head suddenly and stared straight ahead.
She could feel that the owner of the wooden house was only separated from them by a door!
