Chapter 54 The Middle Faction
The heavy door slowly opened in the dark green firelight. Yiming and Meallie slowly walked into the Dark Tower. Unlike before, this time in the deep passage, Aini was standing there. She was still half asleep, holding a big doll. Behind her, two beautiful girls who had never met before, wearing compact maid costumes and looking at them with deep smiles.
"Welcome brother and sister to the Dark Tower..."
Aini's voice was still lazy, but Yi Ming noticed that the seemingly shaking black shadow reflected on the ground changed instantly, and after confirming that they were not enemies, they turned into their true colors. If Mealli and Yi Ming were enemies at this moment, they would probably face a tough battle. Although he thought so, Yi Ming did not show any expression. He just swept over quietly and then walked towards Aini. The blue flames on both sides of the wall lit up one by one on the candles, like lighting, and like welcoming to lead the two of them to the meeting.
"Lita's words, I'm studying in the library? Are the brother and sister here to pick her up?"
"Although it can be said that, but…………”
Yi Ming hesitated for a moment, and he noticed that the maid behind Aini smiled at them friendly, as if she was very familiar with them. Have you seen it somewhere?
"We want to discuss something with you, Aini."
"Please sit down? Is there any tea?"
Hearing this sentence, Aini did not show any curiosity or surprise. She just stretched out her hand lightly and reached out with a lazy movement that was as usual, "The sky fell and it had nothing to do with me." The gorgeous and flowing robe swayed like flowing water with Aini's small movements. Then one of the maids behind her came forward with a smile, and respectfully and politely handed them tea and delicious snacks to them.
Although it looks delicious, Yiming is not here to have tea.
"Ani, you should know that Meyalie and I were asked by the Academy to protect Marian."
Aini squinted her eyes and did not move, even making people wonder if she was already asleep.
"What do you think about this?"
Yi Ming has already made it clear, and it will be up to Aini to answer. Whether she agrees with the principal's opinion or opposes them doing so.
But Aini just shook her head.
"Ani doesn't know, Ani is not interested in these things?"
“…………………”
Yiming and Mayalie looked at each other. It was indeed very similar to Aini's vague answer style, but now the two of them are not as interested in watching the flowers and catching the moon in the water.
(We know what position we are in, Aini. If you are unwilling to answer, then we have to do it our own way.)
Considering that there are other people here besides them, this sentence was conveyed to Ainie through "ideological communication".
Aini had no reaction at all, and she seemed to be an old monk entering into meditation.
"Ani?"
“………………………………”
“……………?”
"call………………"
Going asleep.
Because Yi Ming naturally couldn't reach out to pat Ainie's head in front of the two maids, so he had to cough coldly, drag Ainie back to reality from the road to the dream. She raised her head in surprise, confused about being woken up. "Oh? Ainie is asleep again..."
“Now isn’t it time to sleep, isn’t it?”
Yi Ming looked up at the sky, but in this gloomy dark tower that looked like night at any time, humans themselves were really prone to losing their concept of time. He stared at Aini, calculating how much they wanted to say. Yi Ming didn't dare to be careless about this girl who looked strange on the surface. But she couldn't really treat her as a negotiating opponent. Her attitude of acting that seemed careless and unattached to everything was too casual. Yi Ming felt that all his tricks were difficult to play in front of this girl.
People who have something to ask for and don’t ask for are easily deceived. Only those who cannot even see whether there is a need is the most difficult one.
Aini belongs to this trickiest type.
silence.
Just when the two thought Aini was asleep again, Aini slowly raised her head.
"Same as brothers and sisters."
It was still a casual answer, but it was obvious that Aini knew what they were asking about.
"Anie thinks, that's all?"
"I see."
It was still talking in the fog, but Yi Ming seemed to have understood what she meant, so he stood up and nodded at Aini.
"So, I think we should say goodbye."
"Well, brother and sister walk slowly."
Aini did not get up, but sat on the sofa and smiled slightly at the two of them.
"Any time, you are welcome to have tea?"
"Okay, I think we will come back in the future. The tea is delicious, thank you."
Yi Ming shrugged and replied without any so-called "although he didn't even drink a sip of tea."
But what Aini suggested just now made Yiming feel very comfortable. He knew very well what Aini said. So after receiving Lita, the three of them walked back to Marien's magic laboratory. And Lita said that the necromantic magic she was learning was indeed very different from the imagination of everyone. It was not just an evil book like turning people into corpses, but a magic that talked with the souls of those dead and sought their help. The purpose of communicating with each other through the singing of the souls was achieved. This is the original intention of the necromantic magic. Like the magic used by the necromantic magic that everyone met in the Undead Forest, in detail, it should be death magic rather than necromantic magic.
According to Lita, the first step to success in the so-called Necromancer magic is to go to the cemetery to chat with the soul to the point where you can have tea together.
Mayalie will definitely not be able to walk with her.
Yiming doesn't need to confirm this at all.
"Um?"
When approaching the Magic Lab, Yiming and Mayalie were both stunned, and then they stopped at the same time and blocked Lita.
"Is something going on?"
Seeing the two of them stop, Lita asked uneasy.
"I'll go see, you stay here to protect Lita."
Yi Ming was silent for a moment, then quickly gave orders to Mealli. Mei Li nodded slightly to agree, and then Yi Ming quickly ran towards the Magic Laboratory. He hid his body, looked around vigilantly and came to the Magic Laboratory at a rapid speed, and saw a scene that made Yi Ming very puzzled: Marien was walking out of the laboratory, and there were royal soldiers everywhere. Marien's expression only revealed hesitation, and did not seem to panic. One was wearing armor, but he did not look like other soldiers.
The man wearing a helmet followed her, with a solemn expression as if he was saying something. Marien answered a few words in a low voice, looked around again, obviously waiting for Yi Ming and the others to appear, but Yi Ming did not show up immediately. Although he had guessed a rough idea, when he saw one of the people in the team, Yi Ming subconsciously felt something was wrong. Then, Marien followed the man to leave the magic laboratory helplessly, and the soldiers also evacuated and left quickly.
(Yiming, what happened?)
"You and Lita go back to the Dark Tower, there seems to be some trouble here."
After Yi Ming finished speaking, he hid his body again and followed Marien quietly.
The reason why he did this was because among these people, Yi Ming saw a very familiar face.
The elf who had followed her before was now guarding Marian. Although Yiming only met her, it was the first time she was followed inexplicably, so Yiming had a deep memory. Although she discussed with Mealli later, she thought that this would be sent by someone who Lawrence had known before. However, since many things happened after that, Yiming temporarily put this matter behind her mind. But now it seems that it is not simple. The elf actually acts with Marian, which is very strange. Marian does not know Lita, and it is also a matter of her knowing Yiming and Mealli. She cannot send this elf to follow her. So, who sent this elf?
Why did she follow Marien?
Yi Ming's pace slowed down a lot. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the elf carefully, but he did not notice anything strange at all.
However, it is also a good thing that this elf appears here. It just so happens that he can see who the manipulator behind the elf is, and maybe he can figure out why they came to monitor Yi Ming.
Marian left the academy, then got into a carriage, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
Yiming looked at the direction of Marian's departure, frowned slightly, and realized that something was wrong.
