Hitzfeld nodded and said nothing.
"I'll go see Emily first, then come back to see you."
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Faster than a shadow, more mysterious than smoke, it instantly appeared in the office of the tallest tower in Shadow City, on the other side of the Silver Mist Sea.
There was no one in the room.
Looks like no one's there.
Wearing the high-heeled sandals that someone loved to see her wear, Hitzfeld walked to the table and saw that there were several "battle cards" on it.
"White Dragon".
"Emperor Worm".
"The Dark Knight".
There is another card that shows a dazzling ball of light hanging in the darkness, with a shadowed inner circle carved out in the center, making it look like an eye of light opened in the night sky.
"Emily."
she called softly.
no response.
But she caught that the shadow under the table seemed to tremble just now.
Had she forgotten who she inherited this ability from?
Angry and amused, Hitzfeld bent down and reached his hand into the shadows.
With a cry of "Ah", Emily was held by her ankles and pulled upside down. She was hanging in the air like a little chicken, screaming and struggling.
"The skirt...the skirt fell off!"
"Mom is bad! Mom is bad!"
"Then what are you for robbing other people's treasures?"
Sighing softly, Hitzfeld didn't know whether it was a good thing for Emily to develop such a personality.
He is cheerful and sensible. He always notices tiny details and will come to you to comfort you when you are feeling down.
It's like he inherited both his own and Xia's characteristics.
But is it too precocious?
It doesn’t look like I’m 4 years old. I don’t know if this counts as childhood…
Without teasing her anymore, he carefully turned the girl over and held her in his arms, with her little butt resting on his arm. Hitzfeld leaned over and looked his daughter in the eye.
"Playing outside, did you miss me?"
"Yes~"
Emily rolled her eyes and took the initiative to peck her on the lips.
"I miss my mom the most~"
"When I grow up, I want to be like Mother Xia and marry my mother as my bride!"
What is this mess?
His expression changed and Hitzfeld frowned, "Who taught you these words?"
"Uh...well..."
"I know this even if you don't tell me! Li Ang and the others don't have the guts to do this!"
"very good……"
The silver-haired goddess was furious.
"It seems that she wants to move to the utility room again..."
Successfully framed
Emily breathed a sigh of relief.
She had watched her mother "quarrel" with her mother, and had the impression that as long as her mother was angry about it, she would definitely not care about the trouble she caused.
This is how she can get away!
So smart!
I am the youngest and most brilliant detective ever! Emily Emael Hitzfeld!
"By the way, Emily, I came to you to inform you of something. We are going to go out to do something next, and you have to go back to look after the house."
"what?"
Emily's face changed instantly.
"I don't want to see the house!"
“Looking around the house is so boring!”
"I'm going out to play!"
"...Can I go out and play~"
"Don't you still have Walnut and Lily with you?" Hitzfeld pinched her little nose and ignored her tearful eyes.
This little thing is really good at pretending.
Anyone who is deceived by her appearance will die a miserable death.
"When you're bored, go read a book. There are so many books in the study that you may not be able to finish reading them all in your lifetime. If you don't understand something, go ask Grandpa Gu. We're not going to leave you alone in here."
"I don't want it, I don't want it~~~"
Emily twisted and struggled in her arms.
"It's so boring at home! I want to go out and play! I want to go out and play!"
"Then you have a second choice."
Hitzfeld was prepared.
"White Shadow Palace."
"You can be outside, but you cannot leave the White Shadow Palace. And during this time you have to receive private tutoring from your aunt Elwin... Is it possible?"
"no doubt."
Emily stopped howling immediately. She patted her chest and said, "I'm the best! I won't run around!"
"That's all, I'll take you there directly later."
"Mom~"
"Ah."
"Can I go back and bring Lily with me~"
"Wayne's Sherries are not common. Are you afraid that someone with a keen eye won't notice the clues?"
"It doesn't matter. I dyed Lily black before I came out."
"you--"
Hitzfeld felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.
Was it a bit cruel of me to leave Lily in the old house...
"That's a paint I specially mixed. It's harmless!"
Emily blinked.
"Go wash Lily."
Hitzfeld smiled at her.
"otherwise……"
It was a beautiful and gentle smile, but it gave Emily goosebumps.
"I...I'm going right now!"
She jumped down quickly, crawled directly under the hole in the table, and disappeared into the shadows.
"Oh, right!"
Two seconds later, she popped out.
"Mother Xia said she really likes you! She can't like you enough!"
"Whoosh!"
Indent and disappear.
"Whoosh!"
Then it popped up again.
"me too!"
"Whoosh!"
Slipped away completely.
"Sweet talk like this doesn't seem like Xia's style..."
Hitzfeld smiled bitterly.
"Could it be that the instructor told her something nonsense?"
But...
Eyes shifted.
He reached out and picked up a card from the table.
It is the "Eye of Light".
He stared at the card for a while, then let his hair down and his golden left eye slowly closed.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the night, it was still evening in distant Chesman.
This is Heitu Village.
In the darkness above, the night sky seemed to be torn open, and another golden eye slowly opened.

Although I am a Real Madrid fan, when I stayed up late at Incheon Airport in 19, I still used Messi as an example to introduce football to my group friends. I knew too well how strong he was... I didn't expect something like this to happen. It's really sad.
Chapter 10 The Name of the Mist (Two in One) Happy New Year!
Looking at the earth from the perspective of the sky, even in the dark night, it should not be pitch black as long as there is moonlight.
But this is the reality... A circular black hole with a diameter of about one kilometer appeared on the ground below. No outline could be seen inside. It was like nothingness, as if a piece of the world had been bitten off by an unknown existence.
The clouds covered the golden pupil in the sky. When they spread out to both sides again, the golden pupil had turned into an extremely huge mechanical sun composed of 88 wheels.
Hitzfeld stood on one of the wheel planes, looking down at the earth, with a mechanical doll in his hand.
The doll is very simple, made of screws and a few nuts welded together, and comes in four colors depending on the material.
The limbs are iron blue.
The trunk is silver-grey.
The chest is brass.
The head is red.
This thing can be considered as an extra benefit she gave to the Engineering Council. Although it cannot directly help them improve their combat effectiveness, it can at least help them block four evil pollutions.
Each time it is blocked, the corresponding part will turn black. When it turns completely black, it is usually not recommended to continue the mission. The organization also has clear regulations that when encountering this situation, you should give up immediately and make escaping and returning the first priority.
Holding up the mechanical doll in his hand, Hitzfeld carefully observed its changes in the moonlight.
There doesn't seem to be any problem.
