Chapter 639: The Residence of the Sin Lord
Same time
The Chauvin Empire, the capital of Troon, the Residence of the Sin Lord
A dark elf girl in casual clothes leaned against a tree at night Next to the osmanthus tree, I looked at the full moon looming under the thin clouds in mid-air with some trance.
"Mistress."
Li Fu Astor, whose pseudonym was Dawn, appeared quietly behind her, handed over a delicate and soft cloak, and whispered: "It just rained yesterday, and it was cooler at night."< br>
Ji Xiaodao nodded and took it casually. After passing the cloak that Li Fu handed over and draping it on his shoulders, those cold bright red eyes glanced at the latter casually: "Thank you, but you also know that this level of chill will not have any impact on me. ”
“Maybe You're right."
Li Fo smiled, bowed slightly and said, "But I believe Your Majesty would like to see you add more clothes."
Ji Xiao. Dao also laughed, the corner of his mouth raised in a playful arc. Temperature, the voice was much colder than the surrounding temperature: "I thought that after such a long time, Mr. Astor, you had somewhat understood 'your Excellency', but now it seems that this is not the case. ”
"If I have made you feel unhappy, I apologize."
Li Fu shook his head apologetically, stood beside Ji Xiaodao in an impeccable and decent posture, and said softly: "I was originally I thought you might be happier if you just said it."
"So you don't know me well either, Mr. Astor, although you are indeed an impeccable steward."
Ji Xiaodao casually brushed away two strands of hair floating in front of his forehead and said lightly: "But this does not mean that you can easily figure out every woman's mind. For example, you can judge my relationship with others based on subjective assumptions. The fact that someone is in love is a rather outrageous judgment, and outrageous judgment will make your good intentions become funny."
"Keep it in mind."
Li Fu smiled and said with sincere admiration: "I have to say that whether you or the hostess, your level of concealment or disguise of your personality is beyond my reach."
Ji Xiaodao Qing He snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you miss your 'previous' hostess?"
"You are worrying too much."
Li Fu immediately shook his head and said sincerely: "I just suddenly discovered that you are only willing to communicate with me or anyone else seriously when the topic involves you."
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Fu with a half-smile: "You taught me a lesson."
The latter smiled: "I don't dare."
"Let's get down to business."
Ji Xiaodao sighed softly, suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Now you should You won't come to me specifically to deliver a cloak, right?"
Li Fu nodded and said solemnly: "I want to know how John Martin is doing."
“That guy who is a remnant of the Sun Dynasty like you?”
Ji Xiaodao gently touched the cracked skin of the night osmanthus tree next to him and said casually: "Don't you know how to see it yourself?"
Li Fu frowned, his face seemed a little uneasy: "I did go and see him. At first glance, he Things seem to be going well up there, but"
"Yes, Mo did exert some kind of influence on him, similar to what he did to Duke Fossey three months ago, but that was just an extra It's just insurance, after all After all, unlike you, he is not qualified to act as a medium for that guy to communicate with other remnants of the Sun Dynasty, so if you want to save his life, using [Original Sin] to cleanse his memory is the gentlest way."
< br>Ji Xiaodao waved his hand, his tone seemed a little impatient: "Have you not been in contact with Garros and Galahad for a long time? What is there to worry about?"
Li Fodian He nodded and fell silent.
Ji Xiaodao saw that he had not left, so he asked again: "Is there anything else?"
"Tianzhu Mountain sent me instructions a few days ago, asking me to provide information about the previous incident. All the details of the rebellion war."
"Did Mo personally tell you anything about this matter?"
"No"
"Then how should I report it. How to report.”
"Yes, and Master Merlin has completed the initial work on the trial puppet two hours ago. I hope you or your Excellency will have time to go there. That's all."
Li Fo's eyes flickered. After a moment, his standing posture as straight as a javelin became a little out of shape when the words 'Master Merlin' were mentioned, as if he was forcibly controlling himself not to tremble.
"I understand, go write your report."
Ji Xiaodao nodded expressionlessly, and then waved Li Fu away.
Five minutes later, in front of the study at the Sin Lord's residence
"Miss Silent Prayer."
A woman with smooth blond hair and a beautiful face leaned slightly towards Ji Xiaodao and gave a polite look that looked heroic. Very mismatched.
The latter nodded slightly and asked softly to the woman in front of him: "How is your health?"
Dora Xi, a former paladin of the Sun Sect with pale skin and a somewhat sickly complexion, Ka smiled quietly, shook his head and said: "The potion prepared by Master Merlin is very useful. Now, except that the control of the power is still a little bit imperfect, there is nothing serious."
"Well, That’s good”
Ji Xiaodao first breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute, is the potion he prepared for you inhibiting rejection, or relieving pain?"
Dora shrugged: " It accelerates the efficiency of fusion. Master Merlin wrote in the note attached to the potion box that as long as you continue to take it, it can be completely healed within a month at most. Take control of your own power."
"So?"
Ji Xiaodao's expression was a little gloomy, and he asked: "Can that thing slow down the rejection reaction? Or... it won't. Slow it down or even make you suffer more?"
Dora didn't answer, just shrugged indifferently.
"Two months ago, when the rejection first appeared, you couldn't even get out of bed."
Ji Xiaodao stared at Dora's watery black eyes and said coldly: "And now you are actually cooperating with that lunatic Merlin to try to make your body completely absorb that Strength."
"But I can get out of bed these days and walk in the yard."
"You are just holding on, that kind of pain"
< br>“That pain is nothing.”
Dora did not let Ji Xiaodao finish speaking, but interrupted seriously: "At least for me, that's the case."
The two stood in front of the study and looked at each other for more than ten seconds. , and as Dora's gaze became more determined, Ji Xiaodao finally took the lead to look away.
“Is it worth it?”
she asked.
“You have no faith, so you don’t know what it feels like to be betrayed by your faith.”
Dora nodded and said softly: "I have lost the favor of the so-called gods, but those superiors who have abandoned the doctrine can still bathe in the grace of God unscrupulously. Isn't this ridiculous?"
< br>"So?" "So I am willing to be Your Excellency's sharp sword and witness him crushing that ridiculous divine grace and overthrowing the lofty Kingdom of God."
Dora He looked up at the gloomy sky and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Maybe I don't have the qualifications, but at least I can witness this great achievement from a closer place through my hard work. Compared with this, this level of pain is really too much." "It's too insignificant."
Ji Xiaodao stared at Dora for a long time before sighing: "Has his power affected you after all?"
"Maybe, but I can guarantee that I have never been so sober as I am now."
Dora shrugged noncommittally and smiled at Ji Xiaodao: "As the first person to stand by your side, "Miss Ji, you don't need to feel sad about the changes below, right?"
Ji Xiaodao suddenly laughed and nodded: "Yes, from my current position, there is no need for any words of comfort." It's different from hypocrisy or self-deception. I'm sorry, Dora, for saying something strange just now."
"You don't have to apologize."
Dora shook her head and said softly: "Now. This life was originally given by Your Excellency. The innocent Dora Shika died in the tribunal underground in the City of Light, and my only wish after being recreated by Your Excellency is to carry out all your wishes. "< br>
"Even if he is wrong?"
"Even if he is wrong."
"You can go back."
"No, it is you who can go back, Ji Miss Prayer, I know that unlike me and Lord Garros, you have never been affected by your power."
A flash of envy flashed through Dora's dark eyes. She turned to look at the closed door behind her and said softly: "Since you chose to let your Excellency erase the part below you three months ago, From the moment he remembers and swears to be his guardian knight, there is no turning back.”
Ji Xiaodao's pupils shrank: "Erase memory?"
"Oh, actually it has recovered. When the first rejection reaction occurred."
Dora smiled. , gently squeezing his delicate hands that were incompatible with the word knight: "But it doesn't matter, after all, the naive me has died long ago, so even if I think about some things again, they will no longer be a burden."
< br>Not knowing what kind of reaction he should make, Ji Xiaodao could only nod, and then reluctantly stopped talking about the topic that might hurt Dora, and asked softly: "Did you just go to see Mo?"
"No, it's just that Master Merlin suggested that it is best to get closer to you within half an hour after taking the medicine. Miss Silent Prayer, please don't think too much about it."
Dora blinked at Ji Xiaodao narrowly, then bowed to the latter and walked slowly to her room.
After being silent for a few seconds, Ji Xiaodao asked Dora's back before she left: "Do you need my help?"
"Well, if so "Miss Silent Prayer's words"
Dora paused for a moment, then turned back and smiled at Ji Xiaodao: "I would be very grateful if I could occasionally practice sparring with you when you are free."
“Fight?”
"Just click and discuss until now."
"Accelerate the integration?"
"Exactly."
"It's OK today."
Ji Xiaodao nodded slightly and said calmly: "If you are not in a hurry to rest, I will go find you after His Highness Arthur leaves."
"Then I'll wait for you."
Dora smiled, and then continued to walk to her room.
And Ji Xiaodao stopped there for a moment, then turned and walked into the study.
"Did you plan Dora Shika to become what she is now?"
The girl casually pulled out a chair and sat down in front of a long table filled with parchment. She looked at the Sin Lord in front of her with complicated eyes.
"Just go with the flow."
Mo casually picked up a report that Ji Xiaodao personally sent earlier, flipping it carelessly and said nonchalantly: "She is an interesting experiment. "
Ji Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Oh? What was the result of the 'experiment'?"
"It was not successful, but. You don't need to know more details."
Mo casually burned the information in his hand to ashes, closed his eyes and leaned back lazily on the chair and said: "Before Arthur Bohe arrives, put this place. Clean up a little bit.”
Ji Xiaodao didn't move, just looked steadily at the eyes behind Mo's mask that rarely showed emotion: "So, if you don't turn Dora into a test subject, she will definitely die, right? "
"Tomorrow."
Mo had no intention of answering the question. He just gave instructions to himself: "Let Viper's people bring the newly developed things by Merlin to Gawen. , and it will be delivered to her within seven days.”
For some reason, Ji Xiaodao seemed to be relieved, and then he stood up and carefully sorted out the pile of parchment on the table, which was not actually a mess. While stacking them into categories and putting them in the cabinet, he continued to ask: "So you just chose the relatively worse option between saving her and destroying her. As for the rest, are they just coincidences? ”
“You are not suitable here”
Those black eyes that seemed to be able to drag people into the bottomless abyss stared at Ji Xiaodao calmly.
"If what you mean by 'here' means 'by your side', I totally agree."
The girl waved a breeze and sent the few dust on the ground out of the window. Leaning on the edge of the table on Mo's left hand, he crossed his arms and said with a smile: "But My desire to leave 'here' is still getting weaker day by day. Although I don't even know the specific reason, from an objective perspective, it is really mean."
Mo closed his eyes. , leaning back in the chair as if sleeping, saying nothing.
“If it is for a relatively pure purpose such as equipment and level, it seems to make sense.”
Ji Xiaodao turned his head slightly and looked at Mo's side face, and said with a smile: "Astor thinks that I have love for you, which seems reasonable, but if you really want to say why, in fact, even I can’t explain it myself.”
“Stupid.”
As if he was asleep, Mo gently tapped the armrest, but it was Ji Xiaodao who was sitting on the edge of the table with his legs crossed. Go down.
“Is it stupid?”
The girl walked lightly around the sin lord’s chair, turned her back to the latter and looked out the window at the boundless darkness: “This is a good reason. Maybe the reason why I can stay here until now is just because of stupidity.”
"You will regret it, Silent Prayer."
"I have regretted it a long time ago, Mo."
