She could accept the strength of the massage, but sometimes Hitzfeld was just simply touching her... The itching almost spread along the nerves in the soles of her feet into her heart, and she felt like her breathing was a little difficult.
Fortunately, Sixus was lying on his side, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes again when seeing this scene.
Hitzfeld always knew his limits, so he stopped playing with the woman's feet after a while.
She began to describe to Xia in a low voice...her partial guess about the Nature Orb.
"You mean, you suspect that your mood swings during this period are abnormal, and that this abnormality is caused by that artifact?"
Xia Yibing was thoughtful after listening to it.
In fact, she could also feel the changes in the girl, which was... sometimes she seemed to become "softer", or to put it bluntly, making people want to bully her more.
So she was already upset about this in the afternoon? Then her invitation at that time... was it a test of my morality?
She overcomplicated the matter and began to be glad that she didn't knock the man down.
"The Nature Sphere is a very powerful and mysterious artifact." Hitzfeld said solemnly, "We know too little about its previous owner. We only know that it can heal, resist aging, and exert the power of fusion... We know nothing about its hidden dangers and threats."
On the surface, after integrating the divine weapon, he gained immortality, and all aspects of his body functions that were depleted by the divine eye were recovering.
But she did not think it was without cost. For example, she did not know whether the thoughts and consciousness of the previous owner would be mixed into the Nature Orb.
It has the power of fusion.
If the speculation comes true, will it merge the thoughts and consciousness of the previous owner with that of the current host, causing her to become another person unknowingly.
Or, even if the consciousness of the previous owner does not exist, will its fusion power affect her left eye, will it merge the animal nature and instincts of flesh and blood with her and directly tamper with her personality.
Because the flesh of the left eye has been polluted by the blood of God.
It is ownerless, without consciousness or personality, and although it appears to be alive, it should actually only have animal instincts.
These are all issues worth worrying about, and it does not mean that obtaining a magical artifact is necessarily a good thing.
"It's too early for you to worry about these things now-"
Sixus turned over, stared at the girl and stretched out his voice.
"Connie." Hitzfeld looked at her seriously. "This is directly related to my life. If you know anything, I hope you won't keep it secret from me."
"If it really involves this aspect and there is danger, I will never hide it." Sixus closed his eyes, "Isn't it enough for me to swear..."
Really, imagine that you have survived in the White Shadow Palace and have been given the freedom and privileges you have now. Why would we have to wait until now to plot against you?
She felt that Hitzfeld didn't trust her a little, and she felt quite unhappy about it.
"Does that mean my guess is wrong?"
"That's right, part of it... This thing is very powerful, and it will indeed fuse a part of the original character of flesh and blood into you, including the desire to mate and reproduce... So at the beginning I agreed with Russell to split it up, the complete artifact will have a greater impact."
"Varied……"
"But you've been very restrained so far, which shows that you have strong control. You haven't been affected much."
Having said that, Xixus smiled wickedly and looked at the dazed woman next to him.
"...The few influences may be a good thing, don't you think?"
Hitzfeld didn't dare let her go deeper into this topic, so he went over to study the drawings with Xia Yibing for a while and then decided to go to bed.
The time has not come yet, but she has saved the times in the ring. It is rare to have a safe environment, it is really unreasonable not to rest well.
Gradually, no one spoke anymore.
It was dark and quiet. Hitzfeld put his hand on the woman's belly and let her arm around his waist. The two fell asleep in each other's arms in the shadows.
This was the scene that Sixus saw when she got up to pee. She shook her head and sighed, feeling that she was unlucky.
I came out here to do something important, why do I have to endure this torture...
Lying down again, she turned to the other side, without thinking, and pretended to ignore it.
Because of this, she didn't notice anything unusual on the bed.
……
Quietly.
Gently.
A thin, crystal-blue thread emerged from the girl's ear hole and swam back and forth in the air like a naughty nematode.
It seemed to be conscious... After it came out, it rubbed against the girl's cheek, then twisted a few times against her left eye, and drilled in and out through the gap between her eyelids. It was so happy, as if it was treating her body as a playground.
Then it suddenly stopped and turned its head to "glance" at the woman opposite.
He first tentatively moved closer and rubbed her face, then aimed at her exposed ear hole and went in.
…Its other end is connected to the ear hole of the girl opposite.
Xia Yibing was not sleeping very deeply, but she didn't notice any movement outside.
She had a dream.
In her dream, she came to a hidden room as a bystander and saw a young boy walk in and meet a woman there.
"Mom..." the boy began.
"If there really comes a day like that..."
"Yes, you must go," the woman interrupted him.
"This is our sin, and it is also the oath we took in exchange for forgiveness."
"Your ancestors did a lot of wrong things, and we have the obligation to make amends."
"We have sworn to do everything we can so that Seran can find her friends in the West again."
Chapter 69: Lightning and Fire
Just as Xia Yibing fell into a dream, Hitzfeld was also dreaming.
This was another vicarious dream similar to her past experiences, as if she had somehow touched upon a forgotten memory, and her body was able to recall it, beginning to experience another life from a first-person perspective.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing Hitzfeld saw was two familiar towering mountains tightly bound by armor.
...This life has been different from others since the beginning.
Did this become a baby directly?
She was frightened, and this emotion might also be experienced by her historical counterpart. She immediately felt her body's perspective shaking violently, taking her and allowing her to see more of the surrounding scenery.
They are in heaven.
High in the sky, a pair of huge flesh wings slowly rose and fell. It was too big... The combined wingspan of both sides was nearly 20 meters, which was far beyond the wingspan of a bat or dragon-like bird. Hitzfeld instantly thought of a terrifying possibility.
Continuing to capture information in the shaking vision, she saw the huge creature connected by the wings.
Strictly speaking, this is not a fair assessment of the animal, because while it is large, its proportions make it quite slender.
It has a long neck, raised horns, a strong but rather narrow body, two powerful tentacles tucked behind the wings, and a grotesquely long and thin tail covered with the same scales as the body.
Is this a dragon?
His subconscious mind knew the answer, and Hitzfeld couldn't help but concentrate his mind and memorize every detail of this creature.
Although she had experienced a fright in Green Town and was not completely ignorant of creatures like dragons, this was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had actually seen the appearance of a dragon.
Very nice body structure… she commented in her mind.
There were no forelimbs... The so-called forelimbs were two slender claws extending from the front bones of the wings to the ends. This structure was similar to that of a bat. She also saw dense feathers on the surface of its wings.
The combination of multiple factors made it possible for this giant beast to fly. Hitzfeld continued to speculate about its weight and whether its skeleton was hollow like birds.
But she soon realized that she might not have the energy to study this.
"King Derek, I'll give you one last chance...hand over the child you have."
These words seemed to come from a very distant horizon, yet they sounded extremely clear in my ears.
Hitzfeld was shocked - she recognized that this was ancient Saran, or Seran, and tried to turn over to see what was happening.
However, the owner of the body was just a baby. At this time, the baby didn't seem to want to move. He kept holding the arms close to him tightly and no longer looked around like he did at the beginning.
Helplessly, Hitzfeld could only seize the opportunity to carefully observe the human body in front of him.
This is a woman, no doubt about it.
She had seen it at the beginning after all... and because of this, she immediately realized that the armor the other party was wearing was not simple.
The outermost layer is a layer of curved plate armor, the quality of which cannot be determined, probably steel.
The plate armor only covered the upper chest of the woman. Below, there was another layer of chain mail extending down to the waist and abdomen, apparently to facilitate turning and movement.
Then starting from the waist, there were large pieces of iron armor... She didn't know if it could be called a skirt armor. These things completely covered the woman's legs, but she could at least see clearly that she was sitting astride the back of this giant beast.
She held "me" in one hand.
The girl thought.
Strictly speaking, it was the left hand. In the flash of the picture just now, she saw that his right hand was holding a long-handled weapon, which was extremely long... She guessed that it was a weapon specially used to assist in dragon-back combat.
Dragon Rider? Dragoon?
Remembering that there were indeed related legends in Talignan in the past, Hitzfeld felt that there was no other possibility.
There were no other dragons around... and the voice just now shouted "King Derek".
This woman seems to be extraordinary...
"I think it's the long peace that corrupts you and makes you rely on resolving issues through peace and dialogue."
At this moment, a familiar resonance came over her. Hitzfeld knew that it was the woman hugging her speaking back.
"King Derek, that's because I don't want to fight you..."
"Stop your hypocritical talk!" the voice suddenly became louder. "You wanted to kill me - you wanted to grind me to dust! The only reason you didn't do it was because you were afraid of incurring her hatred! You knew she was watching! She was in heaven! I know it all!"
"If you insist on thinking so..." The distant call sounded a little more helpless.
That should also be a woman. Judging from her tone and voice, she should have a calmer personality.
"Well, there's no one else anyway."
"Severi... let's be clear. I can't let you keep the child. After all, his birth was a mistake..."
"What's wrong?"
“……” No more answer.
"How ridiculous..." a nearby voice sneered, "When I repeatedly expressed my kindness and apology to her, you ignored me."
"When Borunian was in disaster, you only sent a small amount of assistance as a symbol..."
"I swear there is a misunderstanding. Someone at the border withheld the supplies..."
“That’s not the point!!!”
The decibel level soared several levels again, making Hitzfeld feel dizzy.
"The point is that you didn't notice it at the time! This shows that you don't care about Borunian at all! You don't care about this hard-earned friendship and peace! You hypocritical liars--"
"..."
"Speechless? As expected, because I also know the plan of the Kingdom of the Sun... You can't refute it... I don't believe that they, who have such control over their subjects, would not know what happened. This is simply tacit approval... It is indulgence of betrayal..."
"Even so, that's no reason for you to hold him." The voice spoke again.
"I admit that as juniors... they may have some abnormal thoughts, such as misunderstandings about you and Borunion. This is our fault. I did not discipline them well."
"But how do you explain this child?"
"You didn't ask for her consent... You didn't ask any of us... You just took advantage of her trust in you, took her blood and flesh, and cultivated him in a test tube..."
"Do you think this is correct?"
"To put it more seriously, you are diverting and coveting the inheritance of the Kingdom of God."
"Really, Severi, I'm already being very polite by still speaking to you nicely..."
"I never cared about that stuff—"
Hitzfeld felt the vibration again.
"If you don't believe me, I can swear on my name that Kyle Derek will never compete for the throne again. I don't want to use him to carry out any plan, I just..."
