"You want to help me..."
Hydra smiled softly: "Okay, then come on, Miss Xin, walk with me."
Xin walked to Anser's side very naturally. She seemed unaffected by the quagmire, and even the cold rain could not leave any marks on her clothes.
To this world, she was such a pure outsider that even pain and hatred were unwilling to erode her.
"Where are we going, Mr. Devil?" asked the saint.
"Hell," the devil replied.
*
"woke up?"
When he opened his eyes, a mature and cold voice came into Anser's ears.
Hydra came to his senses and looked up at the woman who shouldn't be here, with a hint of surprise: "A Luo? What are you doing——"
"Why am I here?"
Ming Fuluo, who had her back to Anser and was busy with something, turned around and poked his forehead with her slender index finger: "Before asking this question, tell me first, why do you..."
"Anser!!"
An anxious shout just came from a distance, and the next moment, Sitana, who was raising a gust of wind, appeared in front of Ansher. She held the boy's shoulders tightly, half squatted down, and stared at the familiar sea-blue eyes with worry.
"Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"..."
I was just taking a break in the pub, how could...
Before closing his eyes, he was still in the tavern of the Skyfrost Tower. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in this place with wild style, which looked like an unfinished construction site. Xitana with anxious eyes and Ming Furo with frowned brows were right in front of him. Even Ansher was stunned for a few seconds.
He stared at Xitana for a while, then asked softly, "Did Xier bring me here?"
"Yes……"
"I said, before that, answer my question first."
Ming Fuluo interrupted the conversation between Anser and Xitana very forcefully. She also stared at the pair of eyes that she was very familiar with and said word by word:
"Anser, what exactly is going on with your abyss erosion? Why... has it become so serious?"
"Serious?" Anser asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Is it serious?"
Xitana screamed in disbelief: "It's not serious! You have never slept so soundly! I can't wake you up no matter how hard I call you!"
Ansher reached out and rubbed Xitana's head, trying to calm her down, but Miss Wolf, who was always susceptible to this kind of approach, was not appeased this time, and the worry and anxiety in her eyes did not ease at all.
"It's just... a dream." He smiled and continued to comfort her, "It's a necessary means of protection. I admit that the erosion of the abyss has indeed reached a certain stage, but this is also within my expectations and tolerance. At least there is no need to worry you to this extent."
As always, he did not lie to Sitana, and as always, he just said less.
For example... he couldn't even remember the specific content of the dream, only some fragmentary fragments.
Heavy rain, thunder, swamps, broken cities, and... Xin's figure.
This anomaly is dangerous, but before figuring out what happened and how it relates to Xin, the great Regent must first comfort his two girls.
"I've already said that I have my own considerations and preparations regarding the erosion of the abyss. Don't you still believe me?"
"Of course I believe Anser, but..." "Don't keep trying to use this kind of excuse!"
Xitana and Ming Fuluo answered with completely different words and opposite attitudes, but the core was the same after all.
It is not a question of whether or not to trust Anser. No one in this world trusts Anser's ability more than they do. But this does not conflict with their desire to help Anser. This is what they must do as lovers and their duty as contract leaders.
"Anser, you said that it's only this period of time, and I'll be well soon, so can't we just share the burden for a while?"
Xitana held Anser's hand tightly, not wanting to let go at all. She even imitated Anser's words and asked in a voice that sounded deliberate but was indeed completely aggrieved from the heart: "Does Anser think that I am only useful for beating people and nothing else?"
Ming Fuluo held her other hand, holding Anser's wrist tightly with an expressionless face: "If you think I'm easy to fool, just keep talking nonsense. I'm not negotiating with you, Anser. I want you to transfer the erosion that should be diverted to me and Xitana now, immediately. Do you understand?"
Whether it was the anxious Xitana or the tough Ming Fuluo, their eyes were full of worries. They had chosen to temporarily put aside the erosion issue because they had absolute faith in Anser's ability. But now it was proven that this problem could not be solved by just trusting Anser, and they had no reason to continue to simply "believe".
No matter what means are used, Anser must transfer the erosion of the abyss to them.
In the past, it was indeed difficult for Ansor to withstand the powerful offensive of these two girls combined. The damage that the unity of Xitana and Ming Furo could cause to Ansor was definitely not as simple as one plus one, but now... the situation was different.
"I know you are worried about me, Xi'er, A'Luo. But I hope you can understand that I will never joke about my own life."
He gently held the hands of the two girls at the same time, speaking sincerely from the bottom of his heart without reservation: "You all know how important things I have not completed. How could I allow myself to fall halfway because of a momentary willfulness? Do you think I would do this?"
Before defeating fate, Ansir Hydra would never and could not fall. He would not allow himself to fall, so he would never allow the erosion of the abyss to spread in his soul.
"I am not doing this just to reduce your burden. Protecting you from Hydra's invasion is more important to me... I must achieve a goal."
Ming Fuluo said without hesitation: "If this purpose cannot be told to us, I can only pretend that it does not exist."
Anser hesitated for a moment, but after looking at Xitana and Ming Fuluo, he sighed softly:
"To...defeat fate."
"Defeat... fate?"
Xitana looked at Anser blankly, unable to understand the relationship between the two.
Is there any connection between her and Ming Fuluo not being disturbed by Hydra and overcoming fate? How can this help Anser overcome fate?
To Ming Furo, this was undoubtedly another vague excuse. She just wanted to hear an answer that would confirm the situation, but Ansel was unwilling to give it to her.
It could also be because for Anser, defeating fate... is already the most powerful reason.
After nearly half a minute of silence, Miss Scholar finally spoke: "The amount of information I have is too little. Based on your current actions alone, I have no way of analyzing how you plan to fight against fate... But I will not question your plan, Anser. You always see farther and go further than me."
"But no matter what, you have to promise me and Sitana—"
"Lean on us more." "Don't hurt yourself."
Xitana's earnest request and Ming Fuluo's helpless and distressed sigh sounded almost at the same time, and Ansel, who finally made them give up, smiled with relief and very unceremoniously hugged the two girls in his arms at the same time.
"I know, just trust me."
Xitana fluttered twice. Although she was not happy to be held like this, she did not say anything more because of the atmosphere. She just stared at Anser's profile and said eagerly:
"Look at me and say it again, Anser."
"……Um?"
"You won't lie to me." She emphasized with great seriousness, "Say it again, repeat what Ming Fuluo and I said."
"Good good..."
Anser smiled helplessly and shook his head, repeating what the two girls had just said with great ease and without any burden.
"I will rely on you guys and will never hurt myself. Is that okay?"
At this point, Ming Furo and Xitana finally felt relieved. After being held for a while, the scholar lady reacted first. She snorted coldly and broke away from Ansir's arms, turning around to collect something on a makeshift table.
"So...A Luo came here just to confirm my safety?" Ansher raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ming Fuluo replied nonchalantly: "Don't think too much, it's your puppy who asked me to recycle the garbage... But it's not all garbage."
She picked up a broken glass plate and looked at it thoughtfully:
"An independent data network... There are many talented people in the Skyfrost Tower, but it is still too rudimentary. Two minutes of reverse engineering will reveal the original underlying construction data."
"In their research on divine arts, they are actually using the Water of Redemption as a sample. It seems that there has been some progress. I need to see their report and specific data to confirm... There is also research on the conditions for the birth of extraordinary people. The data on both the physical and spiritual levels is very large. According to their level of estimation, this experiment has lasted for at least sixty years..."
It seems that Xitana did not just demolish the place, but instead notified Ming Furo after the demolition and asked professionals to come and pack up and take it away.
As for the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower... I can only say that Marina did a great job, and her "revenge" really hit the most vulnerable spot of this crazy old man. He was unable to fight back due to the rules, and now he is probably in his office, furious and helpless.
However, Xitana did not allow Ming Fuluo to continue nagging. She was still lying in Anser's arms, looking at the hypocritical scholar with disdain: "What? It's not like you were the one who made me so anxious that my hands were shaking after carrying Anser on my back."
"You're out of your mind, Xitana." Ming Furo, who had collected all the necessary items, looked at Xitana expressionlessly.
Miss Wolf stuck out her tongue at her with great pride: "You are such a tough-talking bastard. You still have the nerve to say that Anser is tough-talking."
Ming Fuluo walked straight to Anser, stared into his eyes, and emphasized very seriously: "She is mentally damaged, you know, Anser."
"Ming Fuluo loves to talk tough, you know that! Anser!"
Miss Ming Furo took a few deep breaths, and without waiting for Ansel to answer, she ran away and disappeared from his sight.
After all, there are still things to do in Donggang, and he was called here at short notice, so it is normal for him to rush back. Well... it is normal.
Anser chuckled and stroked the Ouroboros bracelet on his wrist, then looked down at Xitana: "Xier, you just said that you carried me here?"
"Yes, there were too many people in the tavern. We were afraid that it would make too much noise, so we asked Lina to help cover it up. I brought you here directly, Anser."
Xitana put her hands on her hips proudly and said, "Am I smart and powerful?"
"Xier is the most amazing." Anser touched Miss Wolf's head with a smile.
"Hehehehe... Oh, by the way, Lina also helped a lot. She said that the Grand Duke of Gray Tower had no way of noticing that Anser had suddenly fallen asleep. It turns out she is so amazing..."
"Just some trivial things."
A slightly hoarse mature female voice came from outside, and the shadow penetrated the heavy door of the workshop and turned into a quiet and graceful figure in front of Anser.
"Did you rest well, Mr. Anser?" Marina asked gently.
“Not bad…”
Anser looked at Xin who appeared along with Marina, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Not bad, not bad."
The saint looked at him in confusion, as if she knew nothing about anything.
But Anser was sure that he would never forget the content of his dream easily, and Xin definitely did not have the ability to easily erase his dream memory, so... there was only one possibility left.
What kind of agreement did you and I make, Xin?
Chapter 161: Entering the Play
Ming Furo took away a large amount of research data from the Skyfrost Tower. According to her, there seemed to be a lot of very interesting things in it. Next, she really had no time to pay attention to whether Anser was dead or alive.
On the other hand, although the Grand Duke of Grey Tower did not show up again, he still fulfilled his promise very honestly. The refugees sent to his territory began to be sent to the northern border one after another. Marina had a lot of things to be responsible for, but where would she appear...who knew?
As for Hitana, the warlock who was caught and beaten half to death by her last time and who was responsible for designing self-destruction spells has vomited out everything he can, allowing her to correctly use the Breath of Murder to destroy the spells in the city. Of course, it is not ruled out that the group of crazy guys have changed their threat methods.
With the assistance of the church, the number of etheric monsters used for counterattack has reached thirty-two, which is enough for Shitana to launch a counterattack to end the war in the territory occupied by Gray Tower and Iron Blade, as well as the "Royal Capital" controlled by Ivora himself.
But before that, Xitana still has very important problems to solve.
"So, that's what happened."
Anser looked at the outline of the city in the snow and said nonchalantly, "Since no connection was found between Dormer and the cold disaster in the north, Xier, who has been looking for a solution to the cold disaster, has set her sights on the church."
"Are you going to stand aside and watch the clergymen who are about to be put in danger, Miss Xin?"
Hydra, who was trekking in the snow, smiled cheerfully: "No matter how much you care about me, there is no need to do this."
"Mr. Devil, do you mean that the disaster was caused by the church?"
Xin, who always stood beside Ansel, had already mastered the ability to deal with the devil's possible attacks at any time, and his voice was very calm:
"Or does Mr. Devil think that Miss Wolf is a bad person who doesn't care about the truth and just vents recklessly?"
After all, Xitana didn't have any clear evidence. She pointed the finger at the church because the church sent the refugees to the Grand Duke of the Grey Tower for some inexplicable reason. But there was no reason why the cold disaster was caused by the church. At most, she returned empty-handed this time.
"Huh..." Anser exhaled cold air and shook off the snow on his shoulders. "Miss Xin has become more eloquent without realizing it."
"Mr. Devil has also changed a lot... No."
Xin tilted his head slightly and stared at Anser's profile:
"Mr. Devil has always been like this, I just didn't notice it."
"..."
After much thought, Xin's changes can only be attributed to Marina, because she always seems to appear in front of Xin at a very critical point and give the Saint Miss unknown and extremely important hints, which makes Xin's changes repeatedly exceed his expectations.
But no matter what the situation was, Anser didn't like her tone as if she knew him very well, and there was only one reason why Xin had this illusion.
"What did you talk to me about in that dream?"
"…I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Devil."
“You don’t know… Heh. Whether it was me who was in a dream at the time, or me who has forgotten some details now…”
The devil suddenly grabbed the saint's wrist, and a dark background appeared in the depths of his sea-blue eyes:
