Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

In fact, in the original work, Shido never knew what his power was. Only Kotori and his immediate superiors knew about it.

In Kotori's heart, she actually doesn't want to involve her sister, who loves her so much, into this whirlpool that could kill her at any time. If Shiori were Shido, Kotori would push him into this without hesitation. On the front line, communicating with the elves, but here, Itsuka Shido has become Itsuka Shiori!

Perhaps, in everyone's mind, there is an idea that boys should take responsibility, so in the original work, Kotori pushes her brother to the front line, but when this object changes from 'brother' to 'sister' At that time, as a younger sister, Kotori would naturally feel unbearable subconsciously.

But there is no way. The power of Shiori is very important to 'Ratatosk'. Even 'Ratatosk' was established because of Shiori, so even if Kotori can't bear it anymore, she will use the power of Itsuka Shiori. of.

Now, it's different!

Chen Ling is here. Although this man is very suspicious, he has an inexplicable temperament that makes others subconsciously believe his words.

More importantly, if what he said is true, then Kotori no longer needs to worry about her sister being in danger.

As for Chen Ling, this guy said that he is not the "new family" of the elves. His own strength is so strong, and he may even be the legendary Holy Knight from 30 years ago. Kotori needs to worry about this guy's safety. ?

"Direct supervisor? You're talking about Woodman, isn't it? If I remember correctly, he did leave DEM Club at the time."

"If it's his, it doesn't matter. I quite trust this guy. You should arrange it as soon as possible. After all, we have to seal Tohka as soon as possible, otherwise she will be exposed too easily."

Chen Ling said this casually, and when Qinli heard this, she turned her head and looked at him in disbelief.

"You, you just said, 'Woodman,' right?"

"To be precise, it's Eliot Baldwin Woodman. If I remember correctly, that guy's name is indeed that. Why, is there another person in the world with that name?"

Although that guy rarely appeared in the anime, Chen Ling still remembered the name of this obviously important character.What's more, this guy did help him 30 years ago, so Chen Ling would naturally not forget his name.

"...You know so much."

"It's not much, but it should be more than you think, so make arrangements as soon as possible. Although, I think that guy is eager to meet me as soon as possible."

Chapter 43: Understand the breakthrough point of Mio’s plan—Kurumi!

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Chen Ling and Atila were communicating silently.

Well, communicating directly in the mind is indeed equivalent to silent communication.

"I was seriously injured, and Maori also went. In the end, Mio made a plan, but she was obviously worried that I would object, so she simply sealed me and even blurred my memory of her."

"I don't know how many years after the seal, I don't know when it gave me the power to absorb the spiritual power of elves, and then I never showed up again."

"Then by chance one day Kurumi appeared and accidentally discovered me. He obviously wanted to devour me in order to gain a lot of time, but due to Mio's seal, he failed. Then he left a clone to guard me, After that, the main body left, and in the next few years, he would occasionally come back to chat with me to himself."

"These days lasted until Tohka appeared, and then I was unsealed inexplicably. At this point, after being sealed for 30 years, I finally woke up."

Chen Ling slowly compiled the information. Although Adila also fell asleep with him, he would wake up when there was movement from the outside world, so most of the records were there.

As for Chen Ling, now he also understood what he went through before losing consciousness and even waking up.

"It's such a contradiction. That Mio guy wants me not to show up to interfere with her plan, but she has given me such an ability and obviously expects me to show up to help her."

"And now, since I don't know her specific plan, I can only choose to help her. However, I will find the truth step by step."

Chen Ling sorted out the information for a while, but in the end he couldn't get much useful information, but no matter what, it was better than being confused before.

"Kurumi is very strong, but she couldn't break Mio's seal on me, but Tohka did it, even though she didn't know why she could do it, or even how to break my seal. of."

"Perhaps there is a relationship between Tohka and Mio that I don't know about. As for Kurumi, she is the only elf who actively attacks the seal. Plus her purpose, maybe I can try to learn about Mio's plan through her .”

"After all, I don't think that with Kuang San's temperament, he would really take it as his duty to save the common people and want to kill the Origin Elf."

Although Kurumi's purpose didn't seem to be mentioned in the anime, Chen Ling vaguely remembered that someone in the novel said that he didn't know the reason.

Chen Ling, on the other hand, realized at this moment that he might be able to understand Mio's specific plan from Kuang San.

"Kurumi will show up sooner or later, don't worry, just ask her then. For now, let's temporarily help Mio push forward the plan."

Chen Ling can be sure that Shido's rescue of the elves in the original book should be part of Mio's plan. Naturally, since he doesn't know Mio's plan now, he can only follow the plan for the time being.

Of course, the purpose of doing this is also to save the elves.

......

The next day—

"That man knows a lot. Although he seems to have no ill intentions towards us, and even cares a little about my sister, no matter what, I have to pay close attention to him."

Walking alone in the wide and dim corridor, Kotori slowly thought to herself while walking towards her destination.

At this time, Kotori's school uniform had been replaced by the crimson military uniform she wore during Ratatosk.

If you observe carefully, you can find that although Kotori is wearing a dark red military uniform, she doesn't wear the jacket over her shoulders as usual, but is dressed very formally, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a formal attire.

Moreover, the 'Pearl Pearl' that was always in his mouth was gone.

Compared with the usual frivolous appearance, it is undoubtedly much more formal!

This look makes people think of the usually unstable and unruly little princess who insists on etiquette in order to attend an important banquet. Now Kotori has this kind of atmosphere all over her body.

In the extremely quiet corridor, the sound of Kotori's footsteps and muttering echoed very clearly, and one could even faintly hear the sound of a heartbeat. The three sounds were intertwined, which made Kotori feel a little nervous.

This unprecedented tension was naturally not because of the sound, but because of Kotori's current location.

The headquarters of 'Ratatosk'!

That's where Kotori's boss works!

Now, Kotori is going to meet with this direct superior.

The reason was naturally for Chen Ling.

Whether it's Chen Ling's abilities or her sister Shizhi's abilities, they are absolutely confidential and cannot be known to others.

After all, this ability of the two of them is the key to saving the elves.

If other people knew about this, especially the people in the DEM club, Chen Ling could say that her sister Shizhi's life would be in danger.

Therefore, this matter must be done more carefully.

Thinking of this, Qin Li's expression became more solemn.

"Even if it's not for the elves, or even for myself, I still have to keep an eye on Chen Ling for the sake of my sister."

Kotori, who was so determined in her heart, adjusted her mentality.The pace quickened a little, and when he came to the end of the corridor, he stopped in front of a door.

Taking a deep breath, Kotori hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and knocked on the door leisurely.

"Wuhe Qinli! Come and report!"

The not loud sound turned into an echo in the corridor and spread continuously, until it gradually subsided after four or five seconds.

Almost as soon as the echo fell, a voice sounded from inside the door.

"come in."

Hearing this voice, Kotori took a deep breath again, pushed the door open, and walked inside.

What is inside the door is not a vast and strict office, but an ordinary study room.

A study room with all four walls occupied by bookshelves filled with books.

In the innermost part of the study, behind a desk, an old man with half-white hair and a beard, about 50 years old, sat on a swivel chair, crossed his hands, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and stared into the room. Kotori came from the room, with a rather peaceful smile on his face, like an amiable old man.

And at the same time seeing the old man, Kotori's expression suddenly became serious, and a little respectful look appeared in his eyes.

This old man is the real founder of 'Ratatosk'-Elliot Baldwin Woodman!

At the same time, he is also Kotori's benefactor!

Of course, he has various other identities, but there are only a few people in the world who know this.

"Lord Woodman."

Stopping two or three meters away from the desk, Kotori bent down and gave a rather large salute.

Seeing Kotori's respectful look, Woodman's smile couldn't help but widen a bit, looking more and more peaceful.

"Long time no see, Commander Wuhe, I feel relieved to see you so energetic."

"Thank you for your concern!"

Kotori nodded sternly, seeming to really respect Woodman, which made Woodman feel relieved but also somewhat helpless.

Woodman doesn't like that Kotori is so overly serious. After all, he really likes this girl. For him who doesn't have a daughter, he already treats her as his daughter in his heart.

However, since the other party is so insistent, he doesn't force anything. After all, it is indeed working time now.

Thinking of this, Woodman's expression became a little more serious.

"Commander Wuhe, it shouldn't be time for the annual round table meeting yet."

Looking at Kotori standing upright in front of him, Woodman also straightened his back.

"The round table meeting has not yet been held, and you are here. If I guessed correctly, you are here for the man named Chen Ling, who you define as a 'paladin' (paladin), right?"

Kotori couldn't help holding her breath, and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, there is something wrong with that man. I even doubt that he is really the legendary Paladin 30 years ago. And he does know a lot of things. He even claims that he has the same possession as my sister. Ability."

"This matter is a secret among secrets, so I am here to ask Mr. Woodman to go and have a conversation with that man to determine the other party's true situation."

Kotori told her request very simply.

Of course, when an important person like Woodman meets a dangerous person like Chen Ling, he will definitely need protection, and she will make arrangements for this.

Chapter 44 The once home is gone now

"Chen Ling, 'paladin' (Paladin)..."

Listening to Qin Li's report, Woodman did not respond immediately. Instead, he read Chen Ling's name and even his code name word by word, and then fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Kotori closed her mouth very wisely and just waited quietly.

After about two or three minutes, Woodman continued to speak.

"I have seen your report yesterday, and even seen the man's photo, and even his combat status."

"Commander Wuhe, you are no longer an outsider, so I can tell you with certainty that that man was indeed the one who stood up to save the world 30 years ago and fought against the 'Eurasian Air Disaster' alone, thus miraculously The paladin who saved most people!"

"..."

Kotori was a little stunned. Although she had some speculations, she was still shocked when the news was confirmed.

She would not doubt what Woodman said, and there was no need for him to lie to her.

However, after truly confirming that the man was a real Holy Knight, Kotori couldn't help but feel relieved.

After all, the fact that the other party can stand up for a stranger is enough to prove that he is indeed not a bad person, and is even a great hero.

"That's good. Since he is not a dangerous person, he will naturally not be harmful to my sister. He also really wants to save the elves."

Kotori said this subconsciously, and her whole body relaxed.

"Dangerous person? Why do you judge him like this? It is clear that he did not really hurt anyone during his attack yesterday, and his attitude towards you is also very friendly. Under such circumstances, Commander Kotori, why do you judge him as a dangerous person? ?”

Woodman was surprised by Qin Li's words. After all, from the time Chen Ling appeared until now, although he showed great strength, he had almost never really hurt anyone, and his attitude towards others was also very friendly.

As for the girls in the AST force, they also received the news. The girls who were shot down were almost uninjured. They were just knocked unconscious. They could recover after lying down for half a day. They would probably have recovered by now.

After knowing this, even the people in the AST force were surprised by this, let alone 'Ratatosk'.Because everyone could clearly feel that the paladin was merciless, even a little too lenient, and just wanted to teach them a small lesson.

However, with such an existence, Kotori thought that the other party was a dangerous person?

"It's like this. Yesterday, after he followed us home with the elf named Shixiang, he had a gentle smile on his face at first, but suddenly, he became angry for some reason, although it didn't show on his face. But his body also involuntarily released a faint murderous aura, so I thought he was a dangerous person."

Naturally, Kotori wouldn't hide anything, and now she revealed the reason why she believed that the other party was a dangerous person.

To be honest, she almost thought Chen Ling was going to go on a rampage yesterday, and was even ready to unblock him at any time to stop him personally.

"...Tell me carefully what happened when you returned home yesterday."

Woodman thought for a while, seemed to have thought of something, and asked like this.

Hearing this, Kotori described yesterday's situation in great detail.

After Kotori finished speaking, Woodman sighed slightly.

"I know the reason. He probably got emotional."

"Touching the scene to make you fall in love?"

Kotori is a little confused. Speaking of which, why would she unconsciously release murderous intent when she is moved by a scene?

Woodman looked deeply at Kotori, paused, and after a while, he slowly spoke.
