From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

"…Why?" Zi's tone suddenly became lost.

Why... That was probably an unwilling question as to why Lily was avoiding the two of them.

"…Speaking of which, what are you going to do after you find Lily?"

"What else can I do?" Zi counted on her fingers: "Pinch her face, feed her candy, and then go back... I've been looking for her for so long, I have to ask the lady to apologize to us all."

Wei Ya said: "Maybe that's why your lady doesn't want to find you."

Zi's ​​voice choked.

Wei Ya stopped talking and also narrowed her eyes, looking at the little orc that Zi mentioned not far away.

She spoke:

"The time limit that the dwarf gave us was two days."

"Today is the last day."

"If she said she didn't find it, it means the person we're looking for is not here."

"But I trust my instincts... I can feel and even smell the lady. Maybe she was just here."

"Lily always seems to be able to avoid it at the right time. I feel that too."

"..."

"Tell me, that dwarf, could he be Lily's accomplice?"

143. Identity of the Dwarf

Theoretical Complex.

Except for the three little girls on the third floor, the place was empty.

The light is bright, but the atmosphere is not bright.

An Ling, the only human being among them, was the smallest both in appearance and in reality. At this moment, she could only hold on to Ai'er's clothes and tremble.

Ai'er silently stared at the girl with dark red hair a few steps away, her clear blue pupils suppressing her hesitation.

Moira, on the other side, just smiled relaxedly and brightly.

Just like this girl, when she met several people for the first time.

This girl has been lurking in this military university as a student.

An ordinary girl who looks like she is underage.

In fact, he is the real master of this university...even the entire Eliase or Silander.

……

One of the five most advanced races at present, [Dwarf].

The characteristic of the race is that they will maintain the body shape of a child or young adult even until death. It is very likely that this person has grown up... but it is also possible that he is discouraged by his height. After all, the tallest dwarf can be that tall.

In addition, magic and teamwork are their unique strengths.

As Ai'er knew before, being able to lay out such a large-scale magic network in the military university may not be possible for other races. But only the dwarves have such technology and can lay out such a sophisticated network silently.

The zero-generation machine was probably also a technology provided by this dwarf.

Ai'er remembered that she had been operating under the nose of this dwarf all along.

The planned escape across the border was doomed to fail from the start.

I have been in the open for a long time.

"...You have been staring at us?"

"Yes." Moira smiled: "The great genius of elven theory, the great fugitive of the war of thrones, the holder of the essence of the gods... I heard about all these later. El Bernier."

"..."

"And there's that monster girl you kidnapped from somewhere. I don't know what tricks you used on her to make her follow you so obediently."

"When?"

"After meeting you. I had guessed it, but after meeting you, I realized that it seemed that the strategy was quite successful."

That is to say, Ai'er and his companions were blocked by the border and had to stay in Silander.

"...As expected, it was you who asked them to block the border?"

"If you want to escape the angels' pursuit, there are only a few options. If you only focus on the angels who are judging, and ignore the more alien races who are eyeing you covetously, you will fail, elf."

It was consistent with Ai'er's worst guess at the beginning.

Perhaps the war between the two countries was the result of long-standing grievances, but Ai'er's escape was the main reason why the border was blocked at this time.

But there seems to be only one reason why the other party did this.

"Are you the one who comes here for the essence of the spirit?" Ai'er asked.

"To be honest, I was a little interested at first." Moira didn't seem to care about this question.

"...Then why would the dwarves, who are completely neutral, get involved in our war for the throne?" Ai'er asked.

This is also the main reason why Ai'er did not connect the other party's identity and purpose. It is also Ai'er's biggest doubt at the moment.

The dwarves were absolutely neutral in the war for the throne.

"Don't get me wrong, elf," Moira said. "Some people always misunderstand us by describing us as collectivist fanatics, but we know better that individual rights and freedoms are the cornerstone of maintaining the collective. The absolute neutrality of the dwarves only means that they will not use their collective identity to threaten other tribes to join the war, but they will not prohibit individuals from participating in the war for the throne."

"However, you can only use your own strength to participate in the war... This is what you mean by neutrality." Ai'er quickly understood.

“That’s right.”

"No wonder, I saw very few dwarves participating in the war. Only a small number of dwarves with unique status have the resources and ability to participate in the battle for the throne alone. You are one of them, right?"

"That is another of your misunderstandings, elf," said Moira.

"I am not interested in the battle for the throne of God, nor do I intend to join your big fight. I am just interested in the [Divine Essence] in your hand."

Ai'er took a slight step back cautiously.

"…I admit that I thought so at first. But recently, I changed my mind," said Moira.

change idea?

What do you mean?

"As expected, I am more interested in you as a person." Moira smiled brightly.

The voice just fell.

A distorted halo suddenly appeared in the void beside the opponent.

magic? !

Ai'er pushed An Ling back with one hand, and with the other hand, a golden blade of light suddenly appeared, and hurriedly blocked in front of herself -

"boom……!!!"

A huge metal forearm appeared from the void and smashed hard into Ai'er's petite body!

The illusory blade and the metal forearm met, and the magic power that collided and spread out swept the long corridor with a distorted air wave. Faint magic circuits emerged between the walls. If there was no protection from the magic network, these walls would undoubtedly collapse under such an impact!

The golden blade halo of Ai'er was shattered the next moment, and the dark branches of the World Tree were bounced away, and Ai'er barely managed to hold them tightly again. The huge metal forearm also froze.

Ai'er quickly stepped back and put some distance between herself and Moira.

Looking carefully, I caught sight of a mecha arm slowly appearing beside Moira...

No, it's more than that.

Four huge arms, just like before, opened up behind Moira with a click, but because they were too big, they could only bend and hold up the ceiling. The ends of the arms were suspended in the air at a certain distance behind Moira.

Next, tiny metal circles appeared in the air one after another.

The black dot on the small floating sphere rotated a circle and then stopped at Ai'er and Anling.

"Humanoid weapons... and floating artillery fire..."

"[Humanoid-Duke DW574], [Plankton-Insect III-D254]."

Moira placed her hands on her chest and said:

"...Although, let me introduce myself one last time. CEO of the Third Construction Group, Vice President of the Dwarf Production Union, Representative of the Hundred and Ten, [Dwarf], Moira Penelope. Here."

……

"Unlike you who focus on individual abilities, every battle of the dwarves gathers the strength of thousands of tribesmen behind them. Management positions, technical positions, combat positions... everyone will find their own position here. And the magic spells and magic weapons you see are also the crystallization of the fusion of collective strength. Although I am a manager, I am also quite interested in fighting."

Moira took slow steps.

The four metal arms that were squeezed behind them collided with each other and scratched the wall, making creaking sounds.

Elle stepped back slightly.

The light blade in his hand that had just been shattered had also been restored to its original shape under the effect of the repeatable ritual.

The spell for the first slot is thus used up.

"Al Bernier. If you wish to open this door beside me, you must obtain my approval as the master," said Moira.

"..." Ai'er's hands tightened unconsciously.

"Let me see... do you have the qualifications to let that child follow you?"

The voice just fell.

Behind Moira, a huge metal arm suddenly rose high.

Even the fragile ceiling shattered under such sudden force!

144. The lock and the battle for the answer

"Boom boom boom——"
