Chapter 122: Goodbye Dragonborn

Late at night, the village of Almo.
Almost everyone, including the owner, fell asleep late at night.
The tourists relived the wonderful moments of the journey, and the workers relieved the fatigue caused by the day's work. Tida, who had been solving the pump problem all afternoon, had already slept soundly. Estelle and Joshua were in the next room. Fei also returned to the hotel after the conversation, took a short shower and changed into pajamas. Sleepy sounded good night, and fell asleep.
"..." His eyes swept across Fei's cute sleeping face, the gentle gaze, Heliga had never seen the second person. It was a complicated feeling, including the distress of the young girl who had to step onto the battlefield at a young age, accompanied by blood and gunpowder. It included the responsibility of nodding firmly and vowing to be by her side forever. Simply, the love of teenagers for girls.
It took a long time for Heliga to look away from Fei's face. The girl's steady breathing was clearly audible in this quiet night. Heliga tiptoed to the side of the package, and from the interlayer inside, secretly took out a small glass bottle, a certain kind of crystal liquid in the bottle, emitting a dazzling stream of light under the moonlight.
"If it weren't for this thing is too difficult...I wouldn't have come to you, Bernardo." Helplessly muttering to himself, the boy uncorked the bottle and swallowed the liquid in the bottle, then Lie back gently on the bed.
The body became heavy, and it seemed to float off the bed, drifting into the distance... Soon after this vague and unreal sense of weightlessness continued, Heliga found that her own consciousness and perspective seemed to be no longer in Armore. Inside the inn of the village.
"It's really unexpected." Although he said so, a voice that sounded no surprise sounded beside the boy. Bernardo, holding a strange object in his hand, was playing with it boredly while looking at Heliga with interest.
"You said that if there are difficulties that are difficult to solve, let me come to you." After swallowing, Heliga said straightforwardly.
"Ah, this look is good." Bernardo did not answer Heliga's question, but changed the subject, "Although the question itself is not...but it is better than the one who was afraid and stopped moving forward. That’s a lot."
"Don't change the subject, time is tight." Heliga interrupted him impatiently.
"Oh... OK, OK." After throwing away the things he was playing with, Bernardo spread his hands helplessly, "I know the question you want to ask, but unfortunately, I don't know the answer."
"...You know?" Heliga was stunned, the other party knew what he wanted?
"Do you want to know what that is right?" Bernardo said calmly, "You guessed it, it is indeed something like a curse... But its specific effects, how it happens, how to use it, I don’t know all these things."
"Don't pretend to be garlic. Didn't you read those obscure books in that Winterhold Academy? What you said, whether it is here or Nairn, all the magic, curse, and guidance One category is essentially the use of the concept of light, right?"
"What you said is correct, but not all right." Bernardo nodded, "The root of everything is correct, but its existence and influence are also diverse... it can become a flame that can swallow everything. , Can also become a frozen space. It is the answer to the creation of eternal miracles and the key to open the door of hell. To put it more bluntly, masters-I mean, those great magicians, and high gods They all have their own unique and their own understanding of light... They deal with the nature of light, let it show various forms, and brand them with their own brand... And this time, you encounter Yes, obviously one of the opponents who is good at all this."
"In other words, can't you know the real goal through this?" Heliga said disappointedly.
"Unfortunately, it is true. I am glad we reached a consensus."
"It's really unexpected. I thought that as a dragonborn, you can help me solve this mystery. After all, just with your external power, I clearly noticed something wrong."
"You can feel the existence of the dirty and unclean curse because this power itself does not belong to this world. It is naturally repellent to the original power of this world, so you can feel that way. And... With a wry smile, Bernardo snapped his fingers, and dozens of dim light sources appeared beside him, "Look, most of the dragon souls that make up the dragonborn are still sleeping... I want to help you solve the trouble. , I think it’s simpler."
"I'm expecting you to solve the trouble...but forget it. I'll change the question. That archaeology professor...do you remember?"
"I still remember, but the memory is not very clear. It seems that it was some kind of suggestion-like elimination method, which diluted his sense of existence unknowingly. None of your partners noticed the problem. "
"Yeah, they look quite normal." Thinking of Estir who was stubborn, Haley deeply agreed, "But, since they are mentioned, then, according to your judgment..."
"You should feel right. That black-haired teenager... I did feel the same breath of existence in him... and this existence is stronger and more eager..."
"It feels dangerous."
"Yes, that thing is really dangerous." Bernardo was surprised at Heliga's decisiveness, "So?"
"Oh, to be honest, I want to sneak away with Fei..." Heliga expressed his thoughts a little worried. "Although I don't want to believe it, Joshua... At least in actual action, it seems There is a big problem."
"Just because the little girl told you that you saw him go out?" Bernardo scratched his head helplessly, "This is too alert, right."
"No way, I can't let Fei get hurt, even if it's just such a possibility."
"The insects that have been cut from the silkworm chrysalis can't turn into butterflies. You are already over-protected." Bernardo shook his head, "Don't you see the problem? That girl really just needs you to give Did she secretly construct these umbrellas?"
"……This……"
"She has fighting capacity, has the ability to protect herself, has the goals she wants to achieve, and is ready to work hard for this... Your behavior is to isolate her from people other than you. She is a living person. She doesn’t need you to arrange life for her. You hate the Hunter King and his group of self-righteous people, and feel that they are imposing personal emotions on that little girl... You yourself, don’t do the same now Something?"
"...But, this kind of thing is really dangerous..." Heliga tried to calm herself down, "I didn't know Fei's ability. When fighting the fire in the orphanage, didn't I choose to trust her?"
"That time you did it right." Bernardo nodded approvingly, "So this time, you should also trust her, trust her judgment, so as to cultivate that kind of tacit understanding. And, if you really don't worry... I can give you a guarantee."
"What guarantee?"
"...Joshua, right now, it shouldn't mean any harm to you. Although, that child does have some dangerous aura on him, maybe he will even be your enemy at some point in the future... But..." After a while, "At least, the milk he sent just now...You really are too worried."
"...That doesn't mean that he is really harmless."
"Yes, the decision is yours. But you should think carefully about what it means to trust this kind of thing."
"...Trust..."

I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning. After a whole night of rest, both tired workers and excited passengers are all ready to go, ready to welcome this brand new day.
After saying goodbye to Ma Xu's mother-in-law, Heilijia and others embarked on a journey back to Chase. Estill needs to learn about the results of the doctor's research, and this happy journey of lying down will come to an end.
On the way back, the group met a man who was as strong as a giant bear. With a wine gourd hanging from his waist, he asked the direction of the Yamor Village where the crowd had just left, and left in a hurry.
"From the Republic." This is the conclusion that everyone came to after a little discussion.
Despite Bernardo's guarantee, Heliga still kept a distance from Joshua intentionally or unintentionally. The black-haired boy didn't seem to notice it, and it was still as usual.
"Maybe it's my psychological function, I always feel like there is some commotion..." When approaching the center of Chase, Esther suddenly stopped and said.
"...It's not a psychological effect. I heard noise in the distance." After quieting down and listening carefully, Joshua said quietly, "It's the direction of the central studio."
"There is a burning smell in the air." Fei's nose trembled lovely. As a former hunter, she was very sensitive to this smell.
"...Hey, what's going on...Anyway, go and see."

"Huhu, I thought I was going to die... Goddess..." The white work gown was soiled, covered in black and gray, and the distressed Atelier Maddok ran away from a building with black smoke. come out. Taking two deep breaths, he calmed down and looked around the injured people of varying degrees: "Okay, everyone is okay?"
"Yes, yes, ordinary employees..." A worker hurriedly started counting the number.
"So..." Maddoch was about to give instructions to the people below, but was interrupted by a voice, "Mr. Kobo!"
"It's you...have come back from Almore!"
"What's the matter with this commotion?" Estiel asked in a hurry.
"It seems that where the gas leaked...the entire fifth floor was full of smoke. The fire extinguishing device did not operate, probably not a fire." The chief of the workshop did not hide anything, and confessed everything he knew.
"Well... Where's Grandpa?" Tida looked around, but didn't see the familiar figure.
"That..." The staff member who silently counted the number of people before turned around, apologizing, "The ordinary employees have confirmed it, but Dr. Russell has not come out yet..."
