Dark Redemption of Elf

"I...at most I only have a little affection for her," Ayton defended himself weakly.

what is going on? Xingye turned her head and looked at Ariel again, with a weird expression.

"A little bit?? Huh, how much is that?" Ariel's expression became increasingly cold. Ayton swore he had never seen such an expression on her. He stretched out two fingers of his right hand to form a small slit.

"That's all. I just think she's a little pitiful. She's all alone. She also promised to teach me light magic, so I'll help her. At the same time, we can also understand how human magicians fight."

How do human magicians fight? Brother Ayton's words are so strange... Xingye glanced back and forth on their faces, unable to find a chance to speak for a while.

"Are you looking at her with pity again?! Just like how we treated Yi Luli, Mu Yue, and Lan Keke?"

"Well... that's right."

Huh! ? Did Brother Ayton help his sister from the Wing Clan and the forest elf sister because he felt sorry for her? Who is Lan Keke? Xingye tilted his head and began to curiously analyze some information from the conversation between the two.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Look, aren't we separated from them? We may never meet again in the future."

Ariel's eyes gradually darkened, her fingers picked up a strand of black hair hanging on her chest, and gently twisted it between her fingers: "Very good, then I want you to answer my two questions loudly and quickly now."

Ayton didn't know why, but in order to appease her emotions, he puffed up his chest and said, "Just ask."

"First of all, did you like her because you thought she was beautiful because of her black hair and black eyes?"

"No..." Ayton opened his mouth and swallowed it back. If he just answered no, wouldn't it mean that he didn't like her because of her appearance.

"I don't like her, I just treat her as an ordinary friend, because she is just like us, her identity is unknown."

Shameful identity? Is it because of his identity as a dark magician? Could it be that the sister named Angel is also a dark mage, and she is so beautiful that Ariel is jealous of her? No, Sister Ariel is pretty pretty too... Starry Night is doing rational analysis...

"You hesitated just now..."

"..." Ayton was speechless.

"Second question, tell me, why do you want to look like her?" Ariel said in a clear voice with her hands on her hips. Women have an obsession with changes in appearance that cannot be ignored, especially the role of their appearance in magic. In her eyes, this human appearance was definitely not as good-looking as her own dark elf appearance.

"This...didn't I tell you before?" Ayton shrank his head and turned the corner of his eye towards the starry night.

starry night:"???"

"Okay, let me change the question again, and you must answer me quickly." Ariel's eyes did not waver at all, staring straight at Ayton, trying to find any trace of lying.

Under such high pressure, a trace of sweat broke out on Ayton's forehead and he puffed up his chest again, but this time his performance was a little less confident than last time, "Just ask."

"What kind of appearance do you like!"

"Silver hair, red eyes, pointed... pointy." Ayton suddenly noticed Xingye who was stunned in the same place out of the corner of his eye. His words stopped abruptly, he paused for a moment, and looked at Ariel weakly: "How about... ...Can you change the question again, or can we go back to the room and talk?”

"No, that's it for today." Ariel withdrew her gaze, turned and walked towards the second floor.

Ayton noticed that the young girl's neck next to him was quickly stained with a layer of blush, and spread to his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye. He opened his mouth: "Xingye, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that..."

The girl's head was buried low, the tips of her silver hair were held in her hands, and she didn't make a sound, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"Well... you should go back to your room and rest first. Don't overthink like her. I'm going upstairs first." Ayton knew he couldn't explain clearly, so he rushed up to the second floor as if running away, grabbing Ai who was about to watch the show. Li'er's ears forced her back to the room under the girl's pleading.

Silver hair and red eyes...like...Sister Raya, what you said...is wrong, it shouldn't be the case

Xingye stayed there alone, not moving for a long time...

At the same time, in the southern area of ​​Huangyao City, halfway up the hillside of Luangwa Hill, Cexili looked at the corpses of Black Finger members on the ground with a complicated expression, being buried one by one in the wet | soft soil.

Judging from the multiple witnesses at the scene, the murderers were undoubtedly the two young men with black hair and black eyes.

However, in the early morning, the captain of the Horn Security Team ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. As a result, it was already past noon, but the investigation had not yet been launched. It was as if there was an invisible big hand holding the matter, and it was impossible to let it go.

Cecily glanced at the top of the silent hill. She didn't know how many unknown corpses were buried inside. There is still no news about the murderer who murdered the executives of the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce in the East District. Two servants of the Duke Haller family disappeared nearby. However, neither of them bothered to investigate the cause of death, but quietly recruited new staff.

From morning to night, there are always a few people missing in Huangyao City, and the laws of the kingdom are like a blank piece of paper.

"Miss Cecily, Captain Horn has given the order to close the team." A colleague came forward and said respectfully. No one here dared to call her by her name. Although they were colleagues, they always kept a more or less distance. Over time, Cexili has become accustomed to this pattern.

"Closing the team? No more investigating this matter? They should have some family members. How will they react?"

The fellow knight smiled bitterly: "These people are the black fingers of the Southern District. They are all extremely vicious people. They don't have any families. Even if they do, they don't care about their life or death."

"I understand, tell Captain Horn that I'm taking half a day off."

Her colleagues were accustomed to her asking for leave, and they were even a little eager for her to ask for leave. They bowed and agreed and then turned around and left.

Cecily looked at the wet hilly road. Even in the scorching summer heat, there was a lingering damp and cold swamp gas in the air. It is inaccessible, and the sound of howling crows is often heard in the middle of the night...

Suddenly, the red-haired female knight's eyes narrowed. There were actually many broken branches nearby, and the smooth cut surfaces were sharp swords!

Could it be another murder? ?

This discovery made her feel like she had found a treasure. She carefully observed her surroundings and immediately found that many vegetation had been blown away and slanted, blowing away the ground covered with dead branches. She was pleasantly surprised to find the messy footprints among them. According to their depth, Cecily estimated that the battle happened last night!

Captain Horn knew that the eldest daughter of the Campbell family didn't like being followed, so she and the security patrols all left.

Cexili didn't catch up, because even if she told them that there was a fight here last night, they wouldn't investigate it out of boredom. Instead, they would persuade her not to mind their own business.

The competitive Cecily walked up the mountain and suddenly found two shovels? There are still signs of being turned around! He walked forward quickly and grabbed a handful of soft soil with his hands... which was also turned over last night. There must be something buried in it!

This discovery made Cecily even more surprised. She picked up the shovel and started digging. Suddenly the shovel hit a hard object. In order to avoid damage, she decided to dig with her bare hands.

After a while, a pale and swollen face of a thin man emerged from the earth, and the stench of corpses rushed towards her. Cecily quickly covered her mouth and nose, her face was particularly ugly. She stood up timidly, paused for a moment, and then held back. The discomfort in my stomach continued to dig.

Soon, the whole body of the slender man emerged from the ground, with terrifying pain and fear in his eyes. She slowly closed his eyes and saw that his clothes were those of a servant of the Duke of Halle's family. The time of death was last night.

Although the relationship between the Campbell family and the Haller family is not very good, one is in charge of the Glory Blue Knights and the other is in charge of the Glory Blue Magic Legion.

But at this time, two more people died inexplicably, which made the eldest lady who was determined to protect Huangyao City a little resentful. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... She once swore to abide by the spirit of chivalry and protect the weak, but now there are always people in the middle of the night. Homicide case.

In this world, everyone's abilities are stretched to the extreme, and there will always be people who rely on their own strength to act unscrupulously. Perhaps in the entire Huangyao, Cexili is the only one who dares to stand up and uphold justice. Perhaps in her impression, she left the Black Finger headquarters that day. The brother and sister who rescued the poor girl can be considered 'like-minded'.

The murderer must be caught. Huangyao City cannot continue to be in such chaos... Cexili clenched her fists and looked in the direction where her footsteps continued, because the soil in Luangwa Hill was particularly soft, and it would be difficult to erase the footprints left by ordinary people. The red-haired female knight slowly brushed aside the dead leaves and followed the trail towards the top of the hill.

There were two missing persons, and her intuition told her that the other one must be ahead!
