It makes me feel like I have some psychological problem!
Xitana looked at Xin angrily: "If you come here uninvited again next time, I will definitely grab you and beat you up on the ground!"
"But I didn't come uninvited, I was invited..."
"I told you that you don't know how to say hello!"
"Why should I say hello?" Xin asked back.
"..."
This self-righteous and reasonable question confused Hitana. The confusion seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, and she almost thought that there was something wrong with her.
"You...are you mentally ill?"
After holding it in for a long time, Hitana, who couldn't figure it out, could only utter these words.
"I am healthy, both in body and soul."
Xin honestly answered Xitana's question as a question, then turned to look at Marina: "Ms. Crow, you haven't finished talking just now. When will your investigation begin?"
"Investigation..."
Before Marina could speak, Sitana repeated it with a confused look on her face, and then she shuddered and almost jumped up on the spot.
"Ma...Marina! Are you going to investigate those mysterious sorcerers who recently died in the imperial capital?"
She hadn't been in contact with Marina for a while. After that battle, the sisters had become more open with each other, but when she recalled the scene at that time and what Marina had done... it was still not so easy for Sitana to let it go.
She couldn't let go of the innocent people in the entire city who were saved from death, nor could she let go of the love that Marina had for Ansher... an extremely greedy and heavy love.
Therefore, Shitana's eyes are still a little evasive, and she seems to be hesitant when she speaks.
"…I shouldn't have disclosed this investigation to any extra people."
Marina lowered her eyes slightly: "So, Mr. Anser told you?"
"Um...ah." Xitana's eyes were still wandering, "Anser asked me to do this, and by the way... take this guy with me."
She glanced at Xin, who was standing between the two of them, looking a little disgusted.
Xin first turned to look at Marina, then found that Marina was also looking at him, so he turned back.
After confirming it twice, she pointed at herself and said, "Miss Wild Wolf, are you talking about me?"
"What else?" Miss Wolf, who had a bad temper, breathed out through her nose, "Should I take a ball of air out with me?"
"But I have more important things to do." Xin emphasized seriously, "Why should I be with Miss Wild Wolf?"
Hitana was too lazy to explain so much to her, because Ansher only said to take her to investigate and didn't say anything else, so how would she know why.
"Stop talking nonsense. Either you come with me or get out right now... before you cure Marina."
"But my job is to save Miss Crow."
"...It seems so."
Xitana was a little stunned, staring at Xin with wide eyes, breast to breast.
The conversation between the two was simply like a conversation between a congenitally mentally retarded person and an acquired disabled person. Marina lost her ladylike manners and could not help but hold up her forehead and sigh softly.
"Since it is Mr. Anser's order, it naturally has the highest priority. I will not die immediately if I don't receive treatment now. You should be able to distinguish the priorities, Ms. Xitana."
"But……"
Seeing that her foolish sister was still hesitating, Marina's expression turned colder: "Think carefully, this is the order given to you by Mr. Anser."
This sentence undoubtedly overwhelmed Xitana. After a few seconds of silence, the girl gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Then, before Xin could ask another stupid question that would raise her blood pressure, Marina said, "I changed my mind earlier, Ms. Xin. I don't think you need to follow me. After all, you can see it clearly, right?"
"Instead of trying to dig up something else, why don't you analyze the existing problem carefully...how do you think?"
Xin was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "It seems to be like this..."
"In that case——"
“But I can’t analyze anything.”
The beautiful Saint Lady said something so annoying again, but Marina, who was getting used to this rhythm, also responded and said with a smile: "If you want to see more, wouldn't it be more difficult to analyze the cause of the problem?"
“…That makes sense!”
Xin was convinced at once. She lowered her head slightly and looked at Marina, praising her: "Ms. Crow, you are very smart!"
Then she turned to look at Hitana, and seemed somewhat happy to see this ferocious and angry wolf that seemed to always have a hideous face.
"This way, there's still a chance to deal with Miss Wolf's sins... Even if it's not Mr. Devil, it's good too."
"What are you mumbling about? I'm leaving now, hurry up and catch up."
As Shetana said this, she looked at Marina again. The moment their eyes met, too many emotions and thoughts that did not need to be expressed in words were conveyed to each other.
Xitana's figure disappeared quickly, and Xin also disappeared without a word. Marina looked at the direction where Miss Wolf left and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:
"Raven, have you done any further investigation into the recent deaths of warlocks?"
A pitch-black crow flapped its wings and flew out from Marina's shadow, landing on her shoulder. It shook its head and said, "No, Miss Marina. You didn't arrange this task."
"That's it..."
The woman nodded thoughtfully, and no one knew what kind of scene was in her mind.
"Don't get involved from now on. Sitana has taken over."
"...Ms. Xitana?" Crow was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Are you sure--"
"Do you want to question Mr. Anser's decision?" Marina glanced at it indifferently.
"…I overstepped my bounds, Ms. Marina."
The crow wisely admitted its mistake, but... there was actually no need for it to admit its mistake.
After all, it would be a bit... ungentle to give such delicate work not to Marina or Shadow Marsh, but to Miss Scourge, who has almost no interest in and is not good at anything other than fighting, killing and killing.
And it's not just Sitana.
That saint girl's IQ seemed to be somewhat limited, even quite limited.
When these two smart people get together...what will happen?
Chapter 12: Is it difficult for her?
"I have a question, Miss Wolf."
"Speak." Sitana crossed her arms across her chest, looking cool.
"Why do we have to walk across the roof?"
Xin, who was following Xitana above the towering buildings of the imperial capital, asked in confusion.
"Humph~"
With her chin raised high, Hitana's nose was almost upturned to the sky: "Do you know how famous I am in the imperial capital? If I walk on the street, there will be so many people watching me. How can I do my job properly?"
Now she is indeed no longer the stupid girl in the Red Frost Territory who relied on Anser's reputation to walk around and no one dared to mess with her. The name of the Scourge has long spread throughout the empire. Whether it is the unprecedented record of killing a fifth-level dragon with a fourth-level body, or the notoriety of rampant massacres in the subsequent Dragon Scourge battlefield... Even if she puts aside her identity as the Qi Shou, Xitana is undoubtedly a true genius and a strong person.
She had every right to be proud of this, but now she maintained a mature reserve, obviously having achieved something -
"But Miss Wild Wolf clearly can't help herself." Xin directly exposed Xitana's eagerness, "In fact, she really wants to be noticed."
Xitana's expression froze and she subconsciously touched her face.
It’s bad, and someone has found out again.
Miss Wolf, who had a clear understanding of her own personality, did not consider at all whether Xin was spying on her thoughts. She concluded with her experience that she had failed to control her emotions again.
"I thought about it... I thought about it." She said stubbornly, "But I still didn't do it, didn't I?"
"Yes, moderation is a good virtue, and it would be best if Miss Wolf could maintain it."
Xin nodded and answered very calmly.
In fact, she said this in a calm tone without any admonition or praise, which was equivalent to saying "I don't think you can keep it up."
It’s just that although Miss Saint is a straightforward person, she is not as sharp-tongued as Ming Fuluo.
Her words are neither direct nor harsh, nor are they euphemistic or ambiguous. Anyone with a little understanding can understand her true intention. And her tone and words, which are vaguely condescending, can make people feel a little uncomfortable.
However, although Miss Wolf had made great progress in her character, she was gradually abandoning a certain important organ in her skull because she was increasingly convinced of the importance of strength. Obviously, she could not hear it. She just thought that Xin was praising her.
Although this person's brain is not quite right, she is a saint after all... her character is pretty good.
After all, those who come up with the idea of saving this and that right away, even if they are not very smart, are still kind-hearted.
She would be nice to anyone who treated her well, and would punch anyone who treated her badly. With such a straightforward personality, Hitana softened her attitude a little and chuckled happily:
"I'm making progress every day. It's just a matter of keeping up."
Xin, who could clearly feel the joy in Hitana's heart, was also slightly surprised.
Before achieving repentance, most people's reactions to her words were nothing more than fear and dissatisfaction - the former was the reaction of most believers, and the latter was the reaction of most people in the empire.
The higher the status and the stronger the power of the imperial subjects, the more likely they are to feel strong dissatisfaction or even disgust with Xin's words.
Xin didn't expect that Miss Wild Wolf, who was entangled in such a fierce sin of rage, would actually be... actually quite easy to talk to.
For some unknown reason, the two of them had a better impression of each other, and they were simply evenly matched.
It's a pity that Xin never thought about cherishing this bit of favorability and directly planned to squander it: "Since Miss Wild Wolf is so humble, why not let me help you--"
"We'll talk later if you have anything to say."
Shitana, who was flying lightly on the roof, finally stopped. She took Xin to an unknown place and stopped at a warlock tower located in the sphere of influence of the Ether Institute. She sniffed and nodded, "This is it. Hey... Um, what's your name?"
"pungent."
"...Xin? What a strange name." Miss Wolf scratched the back of her neck. "You are not in the same state as last night, are you?"
She leaned over to Xin and sniffed twice: "It feels... more human than yesterday."
"It is indeed more cohesive than yesterday." Xin nodded.
Xitana's expression was a little strange. "More concentrated"... This statement sounded strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just warned in the tone of an elder: "When I start investigating later, don't move around. Understand?"
It is rare for Anser to entrust something that is not related to combat to Hitana. Our proud Miss Wolf will not let her down!
Although I don't know what the purpose of bringing this guy here is, Anser can't expect her to solve the problem, right?
Isn't this girl even dumber than me? How can Anser possibly count on her?
Facing Xitana's request, Xin had no intention of agreeing to it honestly. He stared at her and said, "In this case, I hope Miss Wild Wolf can agree to one of my requests."
"..."
Xitana was a little scared by her stare, but her omnipotent intuition did not sound an alarm at this moment. It seemed that she had no ill intentions...
"Let me make it clear first..." After thinking for a while, Xitana said cautiously, "If it's too much, too inexplicable, I won't agree to it."
Zuo: "Okay, Miss Wolf."
Xin took this as an agreement and nodded quickly: "If you need anything, I will help you."
Xitana released a dangerous red-black aura towards the door at the top of the tower, directly corroding and destroying the magic gate. As she strode into the tower, she curled her lips and said, "Just don't make trouble. Just do as I say and don't do anything stupid."
Walking through the stairs leading to the top of the tower and arriving at the attic, Xitana looked at the sundries piled there, supporting her chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.
Xin looked at her for a long time, not understanding what she meant. Because of Xitana's request just now, he didn't want to say anything more, so he could only stand side by side with Xitana, also looking thoughtful.
"Judging from the treasures in the attic... this guy isn't very wealthy."
Sitana, who was extremely sensitive to the ether, did not feel that there was anything good hidden in the attic, so she made a firm judgment: "It seems that the murder was not for money."
"..."
Xin wanted to say something, but when he remembered Xitana's warning, he held back.
Hitana, who noticed the strange gaze, immediately turned around to take a look and said in surprise, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it."
"Miss Wild Wolf told me not to do anything rash." Xin was very sincere.
"Then I didn't ask you not to speak!" Xitana was shocked, "You don't think that talking is the same as messing around!"
Xin shook his head and corrected: "It's not me who thinks so, but you, Miss Wild Wolf, will think so."
This time, Xitana understood immediately. She frowned and said unhappily, "I'm not that stingy."
