Vol 2 Chapter 123: Girl's Invitation (Part 1)

When Loren arrived at the theater in the west of Ebden, the first play had already begun.
"Logan wearing a hat"
A legend that has been circulating in Ebden for many years is also the most popular drama here. It is rumored that the author of this legendary story was the priest of the Holy Cross Church, but in many places outside Ebden it is notorious , Even unheard of.
Because the protagonist of the story is an old man named Logan who is an almost legendary wizard, but eventually becomes a saint.
He walks around and travels every corner of the entire empire. Almost all the stories are about his use of his wisdom and knowledge to help local people solve difficulties; whenever he solves a problem, there is often a second appear.
In Logan ’s last adventure, he was forced to fight against the ancient evil god, but was betrayed by a fake priest, defeated and turned into a fool, wandering madly until he died, and his soul was ascended to heaven ... …
Shamans blessed by the Holy Cross, shameless and sinister priests-one can imagine how the Holy Cross Church ’s attitude towards this drama, even if the priest is counterfeit, the church cannot accept a blasphemous wizard and is eligible to be holy Only, this is more uncomfortable than being slapped.
In Ebden, which is dominated by wizards, "Logan with a Hat" has become a must-play in every theater. The end of the tragedy is not only to put gold on the faces of the wizards, but also to let them Empathize.
Exploring the knowledge of the world and wandering in the void is an extremely dangerous act in itself. Any mistake in the end is an eternal loss. There have been countless wizards who have been turned into madmen by "truths" that they cannot understand.
The more you know, the closer the danger; wisdom does not bring happiness, but pain and disaster-this is the true intention of the creator.
.. ....... Following the servants of the Corona family, Loren crossed the corridor from the stairs to the second floor. After a long corridor, the servants stopped outside the door of a box.
"Come in, Miss Ariel is waiting for you." The servant tapped the wall lightly three times, and opened the door for him.
The box is not big. There is nothing but two benches and a coffee table. The delicate girl curled up in the chair heard the movement behind her, and she slightly sideways her cheeks, and her pale face slightly smiled:
"You are finally here, I thought you would refuse."
"I'm a little wizard, how could I have such a courage?" Loren, who walked into the door, responded with a smile and a humble smile, but his heart was not as calm as it showed.
Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid that the other party asked him to come out, just to watch a drama. Not to mention what the other party handed over to him—the beautifully wrapped envelope containing the invitation of the Bellini family.
It is exactly what I need.
Knowing what the other person asks for, you can play with it and applaud ... Obviously the Corona family is very familiar with this trick. I didn't even wait for myself to speak, I prepared everything again and again.
The more frequently you show off, the more inexplicably nervous Loren feels. Because free pies are often poisonous.
"But you have refused it once. I once invited you to be a guest at home. Do you remember?" Ariel, who was pale, said softly: "It seems that you haven't taken it seriously."
"I thought you were just a polite one." Loren sat calmly in another chair, his gaze steady: "Facing unwarranted goodwill always makes people wary."
The girl in front of me was the same as the one I saw last time. The skin was pale to no blood. A peacock-blue wide-sleeved lace dress made the thin and delicate body not too abrupt, and silver-grey hair was scattered behind him , Curled up in the center of the chair like a cat.
If it's not so delicate and sick, the girl looks pretty cute.
"What do you think we are plotting for you?" Ariel's expression was a little confused: "Is it bad intention to think that we will help you?"
"I'm sorry, but if you can tell me this little wizard, what can I do for the Corona family ... or what you can do, it may make me feel relieved." The black-haired wizard did not deny her. It is simply a default: "Your help is so generous that it makes me a little scared."
"It turns out so ..." The mumbled girl hung her head down, her long gray hair covering her face: "It seems a little eager."
Loren was silent, waiting quietly for the other party's reply.
"We just want to be friends with you, that's all." Ariel's voice was very soft, and if Loren didn't concentrate, she couldn't even hear what she said.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he can almost hear a sense of fear in the girl's voice-a moment of consternation flashed in his mind, and he couldn't even believe his instinct.
This is definitely an illusion.
"And you are right, we do need your help, but not now." The delicate Ariel raised her head, her soft eyes were sincere: "So until you finish your business, we will not Make any request to you-and as long as they are within their ability, the Corona family will help you as much as possible. "
"I guess your request cannot be refused, right?"
"You still don't know what it is, and why are you eager to reject it?" The girl slowly raised her left arm, and the cold little hand held Loren's right wrist. The black-haired wizard raised his eyebrows involuntarily.
Under the sleeve of the wrist is the serpentine symbol left by Asriel.
Because of Peter Fassa, Asriel did not follow Loren but stayed in the laboratory. The girl ’s words reminded him vaguely of his experience in the caravan. At that time, Asriel was very convinced. There was a fluctuation of some kind of void power from Ariel.
And the carriage, which is said to be "spicy", was full of corpses ...
Ariel Corona, this sickly girl is much more dangerous than she looks. Loren has an inexplicable hunch that she may be planted in her hands if she is not careful.
"So ... I don't know if I have the honor to know what you need me to do for you?" Without a trace, the right hand "escapes" from the cold hand of the other party, and Loren asked politely: "Just Within my ability, there is absolutely no hesitation. "
A trace of surprise flashed in Ariel's eyes, but when she was about to speak, she stopped talking and slowly smiled: "Can I promise me a little thing before I tell you?"
"Please also ask."
"I hope you can join me in the banquet at the Bellini's Midsummer Festival-as my company, is it okay?"
Loren narrowed his eyes: "Can you tell me why?"
Ariel ’s smile is undiminished, like a lazy cat with her round eyes open:
"No."
Well ... this is also expected by the dark-haired wizard. Although it is still unclear what the other party ’s purpose is, it is always a bit improved. As long as the other party will make demands on themselves, it shows that they still think they have the value to use.
It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Out of heart, Loren doesn't want to have a relationship with these Ebden's big family, but now he seems to have no other room but to choose to cooperate with them.
But accompany this Miss Ariel Corona to the banquet ... Although it is not clear what abacus she is doing ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but maybe you can help yourself get in touch with the alchemy named Alto Bellini The magician is also helpful to himself.
"I agreed." Without further hesitation, Loren nodded bluntly: "Please also remember to keep the agreement and don't forget to tell me."
"I will." Ariel got up from the chair, her bare feet on the ground, and raised the corner of the skirt to salute Loren: "The tailor is already outside the door, as long as you like, you can let them in at any time, ready for you Dresses for the banquet. "
Obviously, the other party has already made all preparations, and is also very confident that he will not refuse-of course, in such a situation, unless he is crazy, otherwise he cannot refuse:
"Then respect is worse than obedience."
