"But the other party's assassin was dealt with in time, so she couldn't report the success of the assassination. Later, we blocked the news and surrounded the room. With this arrangement, we created the illusion that Professor Bridges was still alive and had taken refuge."
"So, if the other party knows that the assassination failed... they might send someone a second time and target Bridges, who didn't exist in the first place." El said.
Ella was also someone who was deceived by this.
Her biggest target might not be the top leaders of the kingdom or empire... but Professor Bridges who has never appeared.
"Hiding your own information and depleting the opponent's strength, this is the game of battle. Later... the next person who came up was you, elf." Moira said.
Bridges was already dead by the time Al entered the military college.
So the students of Morris and Bridges are full of nothing but empty words.
But Ai'er still doesn't quite understand why she is being harassed.
"You are a very useful chess piece, elf." Moira explained: "Maurice thought that he could not see through the disguise of the other party because he was already in the open, so he came up with the strategy of introducing a third party. You are the blind spot of both of us. Just as we hoped, you found the person who worried Maurice and solved him perfectly."
From the beginning to the end, Ai'er was the one being used.
Ai'er clenched her fists unconsciously.
Besides helplessness and unwillingness... there is also a fog of doubt.
"So... why don't you do it yourself, dwarf?"
With the ability of this dwarf, even the perfect disguise of the taller race would be useless in the face of absolute power.
But she was just a provider of technology, standing at the back and watching silently.
"I can't do anything... and neither can she. This is our contract."
"……she?"
"Using humans as chess pieces and this place as the chessboard, this is a war between me and that dragon, with ownership of the two countries at stake."
Moira said, "This is our proxy war."
As Morris said, the war had already begun.
All humans here are pawns in the war between these two superior races.
The fate of those humans... in their eyes, is nothing more than something that can be spent casually like copper coins.
No human being is fighting for his own destiny.
"If we win, Eris will be under my jurisdiction. If we lose, it will be the other way around." Moira said, "The war between them humans will start sooner or later. You are stuck here just for the sake of convenience."
Ai'er just felt more and more uncomfortable.
She clenched her fists again involuntarily.
"But you don't have to worry. Your child came to see me early in the morning." Moira smiled: "I will ensure your safety, and she also tacitly allows you to try to find the truth on your own. In her words, 'I like hard-working Ai'er.' It really makes people jealous. Be happy for your luck, elf. Of course, ensuring your safety is also one of the terms of our deal."
"Deal...where's Lily?"
"..."
"Lily, where are you?!"
Ai'er rushed to Moira, but she controlled herself and didn't grab her collar.
"Ahh," said Moira.
"I can't do anything about it. It seems like the other party is cheating... It's almost cheating."
"..."
"There are still big problems that cannot be solved even if I take action."
"..."
"But she is also an incredible monster. Have expectations for your child."
Moira says:
"Otherwise, everything here, including you and me...I'm afraid we'll be doomed."
150. King of the Box
The world suddenly became quiet.
Maybe it's like being drowned in water or buried in the mud.
The only difference is that there is no painful suffocation. Instead, the body feels warm and even comfortable.
What's wrong with me?
When I regained consciousness, the expected pain in my wrist did not occur.
At the last moment, something happened.
He concentrated his consciousness, which was so lazy that he couldn't even bend his fingers, and tried hard to brush away the mist in his mind.
Coco tried hard to open her eyes.
Everything around seemed to not exist.
There was only a dark grey silhouette before my eyes.
"...Lily?"
But just by looking at the fluttering short hair, Coco could tell the figure's name.
Coco wanted to raise her hand, but she had no strength.
But I saw that petite figure lowering her body.
Hold Coco's little hand in yours.
I can feel the coolness and softness.
"Yeah. Ouch. I'm here."
Lily replied.
Coco suddenly felt a little sour deep in her eyes.
But she pouted as if she was being stubborn.
They are still quarreling now.
"Awoo is an idiot." Lily said, "Mingming, just let go."
That was probably talking about the time when Coco kept holding onto the little cross that Lily gave her, which led to her getting hurt.
That little prop was originally Lily's protection for Coco.
"...What do you care?" Coco pouted.
Lily touched Coco's little ears.
Coco let Lily rub her little head.
Coco says:
"You saw it."
"..."
"I beat them all. I was the one who won in the end."
"...Yeah. I saw it." Lily said, "Awoo is the strongest. Ai'er and I will both be proud of Awoo."
“…Is this okay?”
"Awoo has worked very hard." Lily said, "Leave the rest to me."
Lily's phantom touched Coco's eyes and covered them.
"Oh, just take a good rest."
There was something sour in my heart, as if it could finally no longer be suppressed, breaking through the dam and surging out.
Coco suddenly wanted to rest her head on the delicate arms of the little figure beside her and cry loudly or complain about something as she pleased.
However, just when the tears were about to come out.
Darkness enveloped Coco's consciousness again.
Coco closed her eyes again.
"Aww...fell asleep."
The little figure tried to wipe away the tears from Coco's eyes.
The illusory little hand penetrated the crystal and finally disappeared.
……
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless expanse of grass and gardens.
Under the huge moonlight, pale purple or dark red leeks were spread out in patches.
Their shadows should have swayed in the night wind under the moonlight, but the earth seemed unexpectedly silent.
Those unclear areas are all blurred.
I don’t know whether it exists or is an illusion.
A pair of bare, tender feet stepped on this land.
A young black-haired girl, her delicate body covered by a thin black skirt, the clear ruffles fluttering with her steps.
Even the surrounding land seemed to be centered around this girl, and was filled with a faint floral scent.
The grass and leeks all felt a little more alive because of this.
The girl stopped.
Lily raised her head.
The other side of his eyes was clearly dark and unknown, but under such a gaze, it slowly took on substance.
The gray fog was like a dark cloud, hovering above the endless lily lawn, swirling and curling.
