Blue Sword

night.

Ask was lying on the floor, but strangely couldn't sleep.

After solving the problem of "who will sleep in the same bed as the group leader" in the floor plan, everyone began to compete for positions near and far from him.

In the end, two people, Sidrifa and Mia, were selected and slept next to him, one on the left and the other on the right.

The reason is said to be that these two girls are not interested in him.

But really not?

Asik thought this, lying on his back on the mattress made of quilts, staring at the ceiling silently.

It was already 2 o'clock in the morning. Mia got into his arms from the left and curled up like a kitten.

Sidley hugged his arm from the right, her long white hair hanging around his neck, and her breath blew directly into his ears, which made it ticklish.

Of course, being closely pressed by two beautiful girls, one big and one small, was not the reason why the leader had insomnia tonight, but every time he closed his eyes, the nightmare scene from last night appeared in his mind involuntarily.

I was a little worried that if I opened my eyes, I would see Nora again holding a bloody kitchen knife with a darkened smile.

He has always considered himself not a stallion, so it is absolutely impossible for him to encounter such a hatchet ending. But look at what he is like now, he is sleeping in the middle, and a bunch of beautiful girls are sleeping next to him...

Eh, isn't it? I'm not really on the road to becoming a stud, am I?

Thinking like this, Asik had a headache. He silently pushed Mia away who was curled up next to him. Then he took his other arm out of Hildelfa's arms and stood up to go to the toilet.

In the bathroom, Asik washed his face to calm down his impetuous mind, and then looked at the mirror on the wall.

He looked haggard in the mirror, which made him subconsciously feel strange, as if his body had been hollowed out...

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly the light above the bathroom went out.

Asker:? ? ?

He turned around and tried to turn the doorknob.

It didn't turn...or in other words, it seemed like there was some kind of hard object pressing against the back of the door, making it impossible to push it open.

Uh, supernatural events? However, the intuition sequence did not warn me.

Ask looked around, silently activated his abilities, and tried to pull weapons out of the void.

no response? Is the concept weapon sealed?

He turned around again and saw a motionless white figure standing behind him in the mirror.

Ask looked back and saw no one behind him.

Turning back, there was still the white figure standing in the mirror. The upper body was hidden in the darkness, and the lower body was in white clothes and white skirt. The hands hanging by his side were slightly raised and motionless.

When he looked back, there was still nothing behind him. Even if he reached out and touched it, he only touched air.

Turning back, Asik could still see the standing female ghost in white in the mirror. At this time, her arms had been raised halfway, and she looked in the direction as if she was going to strangle him.

"Ha." Ask laughed, "It turned out to be a dream."

There was silence for a few minutes, and suddenly a strange female voice sounded:

"How did you know?"

"It's not important." Ask turned around and saw that the surrounding environment was no longer a closed bathroom, but replaced by a lakeside forest - exactly where everyone stayed at the "Empty Valley Orchid" hotel last night. Rear lake.

"The important thing is, what are your intentions in secretly contacting me through my dreams." Aske continued.

The female ghost in white who originally appeared in the mirror also revealed her true appearance. She was a half-elf adult woman wearing a long white dress. She had a soft appearance and pointed ears, somewhat similar to Mi'er. .

"You shouldn't have come," the half-elf woman said.

"But we're still here." Asik continued casually.

Half-elf female:? ? ?

Wait, shouldn’t we ask “why” at this time?

Because of someone's martial arts-style answer, she couldn't say the words she had prepared for later, and she was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, the dream was still under her control, so she managed to calm down and smiled again:

"Don't you ask me why?"

"Why?"

"Because it's not the right time," the half-elf woman said.

"That's it." Ask said.

Half-elf female:…………

Hey, why don't you ask "Why isn't it the right time?"

"Ahem, do you know why?" Seeing that the other party never followed the routine, she could only ask proactively.

Can I just say I'm not interested? Ask was silent for a moment, and seeing that the other party seemed to be about to cry, he could only ask cooperatively:

"Why?"

"Have you read the letter I asked you to deliver?" the half-elf woman asked.

"No," Aske said.

"Then do you know what's inside?"

"Asking for help, I guess."

"That's right." The half-elf woman sighed, "But the current half-elves are not ready."

"So, when will it be ready?" Aske asked.

"This is indeed a problem." The half-elf woman replied, "I hope it will be immediately, but it may be a long, long time, until the war on the Iberian Peninsula is completely determined."

Isn’t it just isolationism? Isn’t it so mysterious? Ask was a bit slanderous and said calmly on the surface:

"In that case, no matter who wins the war in the end, it will not be a good outcome for the half-elves."

"Yes." The half-elf woman sighed, "Such a simple fact, but many people can't see through it."

"In other words, some half-elves cannot see that far, while others have seen through it but pretend not to." Ask also sighed.

"Maybe this is politics." The half-elf woman said with emotion.

"However, even a carefully woven political conspiracy must have points where it can be broken." Aske said.

"That's right." The half-elf woman looked at him with admiration. It seemed that this conversation style suited her well. "There is no perfect game, only opponents who are not worthy enough."

"My political opponents concocted the so-called 'human murder of half-elves' incident in an attempt to incite more half-elves to become hostile to humans, thus creating divisions and divisions."

"What's even more troublesome is that the other party is not acting alone. Outside the Lusitania Forest, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Aragon and Castile are also involved in the operation of this conspiracy, making the situation more complicated and unpredictable. .”

"You mean?" Ask was a little surprised this time, "The human kingdom of Aragon and Castile is inciting 'hostility to humans' sentiments within the half-elves?"

"It's ironic, right?" The half-elf woman was very satisfied with his surprise. "Lies and deception are the norm in political struggles. As long as there are enough interests, there is nothing that cannot be betrayed - even one's own race. .”

"Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group, I hope to hire you to help save my people in this incident, and prevent them from falling into blind panic and hatred, and ultimately committing suicide. "

"Finally, let me introduce myself: I am Maya, Lord of Lusitania, Queen of all the elves in the Iberian Peninsula." The half-elf woman stretched out her hand to him, her silky pink hair like cherry blossoms, shining brightly. swaying in the wind under the moonlight.

"...At the same time, he is also Mi'er's friend."
