Chapter 226 Tolivia's Explanation
Chapter 226 Tolivia's Explanation
Isabella and Mariana stayed at the camp on Sunday.
Milucia took the others and continued to hunt monsters at the same place as yesterday.
"Isabella, why don't you go hunting monsters?" Mariana asked, "You are the captain of the team this time!"
Isabella, who was thinking, came to her senses and looked at Mariana with surprise.
Isabella explained: "...I am not in a hurry to improve my strength. Guarding our camp is not only boring, but I also have to be on guard against sneak attacks from others at all times."
"Next time, I'll let Milushia guard the camp next time..."
Milushia and a few others returned to the camp dejectedly.
This surprised Isabella.
"Why, you're back after only being out for two hours?"
Milushia had a look of distress on her face, and Figgins was carrying Kokoro on her back.
Ivy explained: "Kokoro, she sprained her foot..."
Milushia suggested: "How about... Isabella, you take her back, and we will go back later."
Isabella looked at Kokoro, feeling an indescribable pain in her heart.
Kokoro's left ankle had swollen to twice its size, but he still managed to hold it together and didn't cry.
"I'm worried about you guys, it's better if we don't act separately..."
Isabella responded to Milushia.
Because it is difficult to determine what kind of dangers they will encounter, and there are only a few of us within a ten-kilometer radius.
Isabella did not plan to cast healing magic immediately for Kokoro's injury. In a situation like this, it would be better to go back and let others heal him, and then heal herself all at once late at night to avoid exposing her own abilities.
Kokoro clenched her hands tightly and said with a pout, "No! Sister, don't you believe in our strength? We can already stand on our own! We can all beat the primary monsters!"
Isabella suggested again: "We suggest that everyone go back early and not act in groups. The nearest Oran Heights is not safe."
Figgins looked at Isabella with a surprised expression, because Isabella was a comfortable and relaxed person, but when it came to separate actions, she turned into a different and strict person.
Milucia felt that Isabella cared very much about her sister. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed inappropriate for us to act separately, and there was a high possibility that we would encounter bandits again.
After everyone had packed up, Isabella used her magic cloak and took Kokoro back to Avilato first.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Isabella went to Cocoro's room.
Although Kokoro received treatment from a primary healing magician, his injuries were still difficult to cure.
Isabella came to Kokoro's bed, squatted down to check, simply released healing magic to Kokoro, and lifted the quilt to see how he was recovering.
The moment Isabella touched Kokoro's left foot, Kokoro was awakened. She suddenly retracted her foot, kicked with her right foot, and screamed, "Who is it?"
Isabella was kicked in the face by Kokoro, but she didn't use much strength and it was just an instinctive reaction made in a panic.
Before Isabella could respond, Kokoro covered Isabella with the quilt, then jumped up and sat on Isabella's face...
Isabella, who was covered in the quilt, reached out her hand, sat on the ground and propped up Kokoro's right leg, and said in a very annoyed tone: "It's me! Why are you so excited?"
Kokoro, whose foot was pushed up, leaned against the end of the bed. In the dim light, he found that it was his sister: "Oh, you scared me~ I didn't expect that my sister's hand strength is stronger than my long legs!"
Hearing the noise, Figgins came to Kokoro's room holding a kerosene lamp. When she saw the posture of the two people, she was stunned.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Kokoro sitting in front of Isabella, with his left foot on Isabella's shoulder, and Isabella supporting Kokoro's calf.
Milushia also followed Figgins with a kerosene lamp.
Milushia came to the door of the room, yawned and said, "Why are you not sleeping so late at night? What are you doing..."
Milushia's sleepiness disappeared in an instant and she stood stupidly at the door of the room.
After a while, Milushia slowly closed the door...
Kokoro's face turned red, and he spoke softly, turning away his smiling face, and said, "My foot is healed now, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Isabella pouted and said in a low voice, "Get down quickly! You're pressing on my stomach!"
After Isabella left the room, Milushia said with a smile in the corridor: "Isabella, do you and Kokoro have some kind of strange sisterly relationship?"
Isabella pinched Milushia's waist with both hands and said in a low and serious voice: "You misunderstood! I just wanted to see if her injury has healed. There is no relationship like you think. And! You are not allowed to lead Kokoro astray!"
Milushia made a strange trembling sound and said, "I... I haven't taught you that. Don't do this to me. It's too itchy!"
Twelve hours ago...
Corey Roman, Third Reich, in Torivia's office.
"Three of you...is there something urgent that has brought you here? We still have a lot of work to do, and I'm afraid we haven't been able to entertain the three distinguished guests well enough!" Torivia said calmly.
Tolivia knew why they came here. Those three people were already in hiding and were not anywhere in the Third Empire of Corey Roman.
Ling Yi didn't mention any foreshadowing and spoke directly, as if interrogating a suspect: "What is the relationship between your Black Hourglass and the Magic Group?"
Tolivia crossed her legs, blew on the coffee in her hand, and said calmly: "I heard that the end of the world is coming. We, the Black Hourglass, are recruiting the scraps of power that your Saint's Guild doesn't need. Everyone wants to live to the world after the end of the world!"
"We are just collecting magic tools, and we are trying to survive the apocalypse by any means necessary. I don't care what other empires think."
Ling Yi's eyes were sharp, and after listening to Tolivia's story, she narrowed her eyes again.
The saint also realized that this guy's words sounded like he had organized a large group to escape the end of the world.
"Our organization disdains any fighting. If anyone among us has offended you, I apologize. I cannot guarantee that every 'grain' in the black hourglass has a noble character!"
The saint asked, "Why do you believe in the end of the world?"
Tolivia smiled contemptuously and replied, "I don't believe it, but it's a fact that this is happening."
"What happened in the past two years is just the beginning. The world will be even more chaotic in the future. Ultimately, it was the work of the Magicians. What did you, the Saint Maiden Guild, accomplish? You eliminated the magic fog and black clouds, sealed the magic cave, and defeated the king-level monsters. Your presence only allowed the world to remain peaceful for a few more years."
Tolivia stood up with his coffee in hand, walked to a sunset painting on the wall, and looked up and sighed.
"The outside world is already full of dangers! I can only protect the people of the empire and more people. I can't do what you do, risking your lives to confront the monsters."
Shui Xi held it in for a long time, and then said, "You are quite a jerk. You can't even defeat a king-level monster, and you hide when you encounter danger. Then I want to know, what is your so-called new world after the apocalypse?"
This was also the statement provided by the Saint, from the dog-tribe subhuman man she met last night.
"A new world? I don't know who will manage the future world!" Tolivia said with her back to them, "We have no choice. If we survive the fierce monster tide, the civilization of another world will come. At least I have preserved the indigenous people for this world."
"If you don't have anything important to do, please go back. I've said what I need to say! This information is very cruel to you, but many people have chosen my path!"
“I wonder if you saints looking up to me will also have the last laugh?”
