Kirou was not puzzled by Lin Yi's ability to obtain the black flute.
The last time he followed Lin Yi, Kirou already knew that Lin Yi's limit could not be stopped by a black flute.
In Lin Yi, Kiruo sensed a characteristic that was very similar to Lysa and Orson.
At noon, Li Ke came to Lin Yi's room in a hurry, eager to pull Lin Yi out.
"What's the matter, so anxious? It's not lunch time yet." Lin Yi looked at Li Ke's hurried movements and patted Li Ke's head gently.
Because of Lin Yi, the food in the orphanage has been greatly improved.
Whether it's carbohydrates or meat, Lin Yi is fully satisfied.
Anyway, these things don't cost much for Lin Yi.
After only a few days passed, Lin Yi clearly noticed that the children in the orphanage had grown taller.
After all, during the growth period, what children need most is nutrition, and Lin Yi's arrival finally made up for what the children were missing.
As for Li Ke, under Lin Yi's food "offensive", her favorability level naturally increased rapidly.
Originally, she only had a slight affection for Lin Yi, but now, she has regarded Lin Yi as a close friend.
At night, Li Ke often took Reg and Nado to Lin Yi's room to play.
"It's not that we want to eat, but Uncle Hubble and his caving team are back." Li Ke couldn't wait to drag Lin Yi to the door of the orphanage.
Lin Yi found that many pedestrians were walking towards the Abyss Abyss in the center of Os town.
As Lin Yi got closer to the central square, the flow of people around him became larger and larger.
Lin Yi had no choice but to take out the black flute and put it on his neck. Then he put Li Ke and Reg on his shoulders and squeezed them through with great effort.
There were some people in the surrounding crowd who wanted to scold Lin Yi, but when they saw the black flute hanging around Lin Yi's neck, they all lost their voices.
In this town, the rank of the flute can be regarded as an alternative status symbol.
Lin Yi's black flute means that apart from the five white flutes, only black flute holders can be considered to have the same status as Lin Yi.
Relying on the "power" of the black flute, Lin Yi successfully led Rico and Reg directly to the square in the center of the Abyss Abyss.
Lin Yi also saw several acquaintances here, such as Alyssa, who had handled the formalities for Lin Yi before, and the vice-president who had previously conducted the level certification for Lin Yi.
"Mr. Lin, you are here too." Alyssa noticed Lin Yi first. After all, in this area, Lin Yi was the only one carrying two children on his shoulders. It was difficult for Alyssa not to notice it. .
"Riko said she wanted to come over and have a look, so I came over to join in the fun."
After arriving at the location, Lin Yi put Li Ke down.
In the center of the Abyss Plaza stands a mechanical elevator, which is powered by solar jade.
After Lin Yi arrived, he noticed that the mechanical elevator had begun to rise slowly, which meant that people should have arrived.
At this moment, the crowd behind Lin Yi burst into cheers.
For the people in the small town of Os, cave exploration is everything to them, and everything they have is for the service of cave exploration.
Therefore, Hubble and his team, who returned from the depths of the Abyss Abyss, naturally became heroes in the eyes of the people of Ostown.
Amid the deafening cheers of the crowd, the elevator slowly stopped operating.
After a while, a group of cave explorers filed out. Their clothes were stained with blood. Although everyone looked extremely tired, their mental state looked quite good.
The backpacks they were carrying were bulging, and it was obvious that this expedition had yielded a lot.
The leader walking at the front of the team was an uncle with a beard. His expression was extremely serious and he held a small box tightly in his hand.
That careful look made it obvious at a glance that he valued the contents of this box.
"Li Ke?" Because of Lin Yi, Li Ke and Reg stood directly at the exit of the elevator this time, so Hubble saw them at a glance.
Thinking of the items in the box, Hubble was entangled in his heart. After much hesitation, he finally decided to ask the staff to call Li Ke over.
After all, this thing is Annihilation Qing's item, and Rico has the right to know the situation.
Soon, Lin Yi found Alyssa walking towards the three of them.
Alyssa conveyed Hubble's message to them, saying that Hubble wanted Rico to come over.
Originally, Alyssa only wanted to take Li Ke there alone, but Lin Yi said that she wanted to go with her.
Alyssa had no way to refuse Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi's identity was Heidi. Not to mention her, even her boss did not dare to refuse Lin Yi's request.
Helpless, Alyssa had no choice but to bring Lin Yi, Li Ke and Reg to the front of Hubble.
"Uncle Hubble!" Rico's face was full of excitement, and she suddenly fell on Hubble's chest like a cheerful bird.
Hubble smiled and touched Li Ke's little head, then looked at Lin Yi.
Not only Hubble, but the cave diggers behind Hubble also noticed Lin Yi, the strange black flute.
Their eyes were full of doubts and vigilance, and some of them looked extremely nervous. They quietly put their hands on their waists, looking as if they were ready to pull out their weapons and fight impulsively.
In their perception, Lin Yi was not like a cave explorer, but more like an abyssal creature.
"That's enough. Put your weapons away. This is Os, not the Abyss Abyss."
Hubble sensed the atmosphere of the team members behind him. After being reminded by Hubble, these cave diggers loosened their hands holding their weapons.
At this time, they discovered that Lin Yi now looked like an ordinary black flute cave explorer, without the disturbing aura before.
"What's going on? Could it be that I sensed it wrong?" The vice-captain behind Hubble lifted his backpack up in confusion.
Just now, Lin Yi gave him the impression that he was a creature from the abyss, but why did he suddenly become an ordinary person again.
"Hello, I am Hubble, the leader of the Guli cave exploration team."
Hubble stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi as a greeting.
"Lin Yi, outsiders, just passed the assessment two days ago and became a black flute."
After hearing Lin Yi's self-introduction, many members of the Guli cave exploration team turned their attention to Lin Yi.
"Interesting." Someone muttered softly.
"Li Ke, I called you here today not for anything else, but because this letter is related to your mother." Hubble slowly opened the small box in his hand, and saw a white flute inside the exquisite small box. and a bulging envelope.
Li Ke is naturally familiar with the shape of this white flute.
The styles of the five white flutes are known to almost everyone in the town of Os, so Rico recognized the white flute in Hubble's hand at a glance.
The moment Bai Di appeared, the surrounding crowd fell silent.
"The white flute of [Annihilation Qing]?"
"That's right, it's [Annihilation Qing]'s white flute. Look, it's exactly the same as the one I copied."
You know, the flute is a status symbol for cave explorers, especially the white flute, which is the key to the deep layers. Very few cave explorers will give this thing up, unless the cave explorer has returned. The Abyss.
"Mom, she..." Rico froze when she saw the white flute in Hubble's hand, with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Obviously, Rico also understood what it meant to bring the cave explorer's flute.
"I don't know. I didn't find Mr. Annihilation's body on the fourth floor. There was only a letter there. It seems that someone should have buried this thing." Hubble's tone was also full of doubts, and he seemed to feel it. Very strange.
After hearing Hubble's words, Lin Yi glanced at Reg who was still unclear about what happened.
[Annihilation Lord] Lysa's tomb on the fourth floor of the Giant's Cup was most likely built by Reg before he lost his memory, and the contents inside were most likely put in by Reg.
But Lysa didn't expect that Rico's unexpected tricks would cause Reg to lose his memory.
This unexpected situation disrupted all subsequent arrangements.
Hubble placed the white flute in Rico's hand, and then the group, led by the guild staff, arrived at the small room on the third floor of the guild.
Here, Hubble described in detail what happened during his trip to the cave, and focused on his discovery of the tomb of [The Annihilator] on the fourth floor.
After hearing this, the president of the Cave Explorer Guild turned his attention to Rico.
To be honest, he didn't expect that the child of [Annihilation Qing] had been hiding in the orphanage. He didn't learn this information until today.
"So, according to your opinion, [Annihilation Lord] is alive or dead now?" After listening to Hubble's story, the president of the Cave Explorer Guild put his hands on the table to support his head, "Annihilation Lord" Lysa's The news will definitely affect the minds of many people.
"According to my opinion, nothing happened to [Lord Annihilation]. The fourth-floor tomb should have been built by others, because I found information about the sixth floor of the Abyss Abyss [City of No Return] in the envelope. "
"What did you say?!!"
After hearing that the envelope contained information about the sixth level of the Abyss Abyss [the City of No Return], the president finally couldn't sit still and stood up from his chair.
You must know that due to the rising load curse on the sixth floor of the Abyss Abyss, the guild has never had accurate information.
The little information the guild knew was bought from Liming Qing Bodordo, but Liming Qing Bodordo's asking price was very expensive, and any information about the sixth floor could be said to be precious.
Even if the guild spent a huge price, most of the information obtained was of little use.
"It seems that [Qing Annihilation]'s journey to the extreme is successful. In that case, let's spread the news that [Qing Annihilation] is going to the extreme."
Absolute travel is a unique term in the small town of Os. It is something that only Black Flute and White Flute are qualified to come into contact with.
The so-called extreme journey refers to the cave explorer going deep into the realm below the fifth floor. This behavior has also been given such a unique title.
Because of the existence of rising loads, the degree of danger below the fifth floor is vastly different from that above the fifth floor.
The abyss curse reaction above the fifth level can still be treated using medical means, and there is a possibility of recovery.
The curse of the abyss below the fifth floor is irreversible. Once it is contaminated, there is no way back.
In addition, the danger levels of the abyssal creatures and the environment below the fifth floor are even different from those on the upper floors.
Therefore, going to the realm below the fifth floor is called the journey to the extreme realm, which means a farewell journey to this world.
Any cave digger who has gone on a journey to the extreme realm is considered a dead person in the eyes of everyone in the town of Os.
After all, cave diggers below the sixth floor cannot return. This is an iron law that cannot be violated.
In this world, there are only two situations for cave diggers who go on a desperate journey. One is to continue deep into the Abyss Abyss and arduously move forward in endless darkness and danger; the other is to welcome the coming of death.
But as we continue deeper into the Abyss Abyss, the rising load will only become more severe. In the end, the fate that awaits this cave explorer is death.
So when a cave explorer embarks on the journey to the extreme realm, in everyone's eyes, he has already stepped into the shadow of death, with no possibility of survival.
Next, Hubble handed the envelope to the guild, and took out a note and handed it to Rico.
"Li Ke, this is the note in your mother's envelope. It's probably for you." Hubble said with a hint of tenderness in his tone.
When the president on the side saw this scene, he wanted to say something. After all, it involved important information, and he should treat it with caution.
When his eyes glanced at Lin Yi behind Li Ke, he finally swallowed the words on his lips.
It can be said that the Cave Explorers Guild has gained a lot this time, and there is really no need to snatch a copy of the letter written by the mother to the child.
Not only is that unbecoming of the guild, it may also cause unnecessary trouble.
With anxiety and excitement, Rico took the very light note from Uncle Hubble's hand.
This note was not any paper that Rico had ever seen. Its surface was very smooth, like delicate silk. It was difficult to imagine how Lysa left writing on it.
"I'm...waiting for you...at the bottom...of Naraku." Rico read the contents of the note word for word, and those short words struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
Two lines of clear tears slipped quietly from Rico's eyes. She had no memory of her mother Lysa since she could remember it.
Lysa entered the Abyss Abyss when Rico was two years old. During Rico's growing years, her mother had always been a distant and vague presence.
It wasn't until today that Rico finally knew that her mother had not forgotten her. That deep maternal love spanned the long years and endless abyss and was delivered to her hands.
After the news about Lysa spread, the entire town of Os was thrown into a carnival.
The petals of a kind of plant are floating in the sky, flying like snowflakes, so beautiful.
This plant is known as the century-old incense. In the small town of Oss, the petals of this flower are sprinkled to commemorate any wedding or funeral.
Rico was still fumbling with the white flute and note in her hands at this moment. It could be seen that today's incident still had a big impact on Rico.
Originally, the guild wanted to take back the white flute in Rico's hand. After all, it was the symbol of [Annihilation Lord] Lysa. Even if she did nothing, it was still a belief in the cave explorer guild.
But Lin Yi and Hubble stopped the president's proposal at the same time.
They knew the importance of the white flute to Rico. It was not just an object, but also the bond between Rico and Lysa.
Seeing that everyone disagreed, the president had no choice but to give up the idea.
After all, the white flute is different from other flutes. The white flute can only be used by every holder of the white flute. Even if this thing is placed in Rico's hand, it is just a souvenir.
"The greatest soul in the White Flute has returned here again after 10 years."
"We are selling [Annihilation Lord] Lysa's white flute toy. If you need it, buy it quickly."
"[Annihilation Lord] Lysa's story book, 3 Knuts per book, buy two and get one free."
As the news of [Annihilation Qing] Bai Di's return spread, the entire town of Os was plunged into jubilation.
For the entire town of Os, this is undoubtedly a grand celebration to commemorate [Annihilation Lord] Lysa.
If there is no news about [Annihilation Lord] Lysa in the future, then this celebration will most likely be the last grand event related to Lysa.
After seeing this scene, Rico, who was originally a little melancholy, was also infected by the warm atmosphere around her.
Back at the orphanage, the other children were all talking about stories and legends related to [Annihilation Lord] Lysa.
Nado and the others all moved closer to Li Ke, their eyes full of concern and curiosity.
As Rico's friends, they naturally know very well about Rico's origins.
"Li Ke, are you okay?" Nado glanced at Li Ke with a worried face. To be honest, he was really worried about Li Ke's mood now.
After all, most people would definitely feel very uncomfortable when they encounter Rico's situation.
"It's okay, look, mom left me a note."
Rico took out the note left by Lysa from his pocket. Looking at Rico's smile, Nadeau breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Kirou also walked over and motioned Lin Yi to go aside and talk.
"Has Rico's life experience been exposed?"
"Well, when Hubble handed the white flute to Rico, everyone else saw it. I'm afraid that Rico's life experience will be discovered soon if someone is investigating."
"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Rico." After hearing Kirou's words, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the little boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
On his young face, there is maturity and perseverance beyond his years.
"I know that Rico will enter the Abyss Abyss sooner or later. This is her fate. When the teacher brought Rico back, Rico has been crawling towards the center of the Abyss Abyss involuntarily. "
"Originally, I thought this day would come later, but now it seems that it won't be long before the people who were looking for the teacher's relics will come to my door."
"And Rico, based on what I know about this guy, I'm afraid now I'm starting to plan how to enter the Abyss Abyss. I know that you are also going to enter the Abyss Abyss, so Rico will trouble you when the time comes."
Kiruo can be said to have seen this matter very thoroughly. From the moment Rico's identity is exposed, it can be said that the countdown begins for Rico to enter the abyss.
Except for the Abyss Abyss, there is no place that can stop the forces that covet [Lord of Annihilation] Lysa's relics.
"You kid, forget it, Rico, I will help take care of it. And you are only fifteen or sixteen years old now. Don't be sad every day. Smile more." Lin Yi looked at Kirou's expressionless face and said, He patted Kirou on the shoulder.
Lin Yi is still very optimistic about Kirou.
According to Lin Yi, Kirou is ready to be promoted to Black Flute.
But for Rico, Kirou suppressed the speed of his upgrade.
This is a huge sacrifice in the small town of Os, which is proud of its cave explorer rank.
This shows how much Kiroo respects Lysa.
Because of Lysa's words, Kirou took Rico to the orphanage and hid for ten years, suppressing himself for ten years.
The once talented boy was radiant and eye-catching.
Now, he has become the captain of the orphanage's cave exploration team, restrained his sharp edge, and protected Rico in his own way. (End of chapter)
