Quadruple split

at the same time

The Chauvin Empire, the royal capital of Trone, the residence of the guilty lord

The dark elf girl in casual clothes was leaning against a night laurel tree, looking at the full moon looming in mid-air under the thin clouds with some trance.

"hostess."

Li Fu Astor, whose pseudonym was Dawn, appeared quietly behind her, handed over a delicate and soft cloak, and whispered: "It just rained yesterday, and it was cooler at night."

Ji Xiaodao nodded, casually took the cloak handed by Li Fu and put it on his shoulders. His cold bright red eyes glanced at the latter casually: "Thank you, but you also know that this level of chill is It won’t have any impact on me.”

"Maybe you're right."

Li Fo smiled, bowed slightly and said, "But I believe Your Excellency, Lord Sin, would like to see you add more clothes."

Ji Xiaodao also laughed, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was much colder than the surrounding temperature: "I thought that after such a long time, Mr. Astor, you had somewhat understood your Your Excellency', but now it seems that this is not the case."

"I apologize if I have offended you."

Li Fu shook his head apologetically, stood beside Ji Xiaodao with an impeccable and decent posture, and said softly: "I thought you might be happier if I said what I just said."

"So you don't know me well either, Mr. Astor, even though you are indeed an impeccable butler."

Ji Xiaodao casually brushed away two strands of hair floating in front of his forehead and said lightly: "But this does not mean that you can easily figure out every woman's mind. For example, you can judge that I am pregnant with someone based on subjective assumptions. Love is an outrageous judgment, and outrageous judgment can make your good intentions look ridiculous."

"Keep in mind."

Li Fu smiled and said with sincere admiration: "I have to say that whether you or the hostess, your level of concealing or disguising your personality is beyond my reach."

Ji Xiaodao snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you miss your 'previous' mistress?"

"You're worrying too much."

Li Fu immediately shook his head and said sincerely: "I just suddenly discovered that you are willing to communicate with me or anyone else seriously only when the topic involves you."

Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Fu with a half-smile: "You taught me a lesson."

The latter smiled: "I don't dare."

"Let's get down to business."

Ji Xiaodao sighed softly, suppressed a smile and said seriously: "You shouldn't come to see me just to deliver a cloak, right?"

Li Fu nodded and said solemnly: "I want to know how John Martin's situation is."

"That guy who is a remnant of the Sun Dynasty just like you?"

Ji Xiaodao gently touched the cracked skin of the night osmanthus tree next to him and said casually: "Don't you know how to see it yourself?"

Li Fu frowned and looked a little worried: "I did go and see him. He seems to be in good condition at first glance, but"

"Yes, Mo did exert some influence on him, similar to what he did to Duke Fossey three months ago, but it was just an additional insurance. After all, he is different from you and is not qualified to act as a That guy is the medium of communication with other remnants of the Sun Dynasty, so if you want to save his life, using [Original Sin] to cleanse his memory is the gentlest way."

Ji Xiaodao waved his hand, his tone seemed a little impatient: "Have you not been in contact with Garros and Galahad a long time ago? What is there to worry about?"

Li Fu nodded and fell silent.

Ji Xiaodao saw that he had not left, so he asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"Tianzhu Mountain sent me instructions a few days ago, asking me to provide all the details of the previous counter-insurgency war."

"Has Mo ever told you anything about this matter alone?"

"No."

"Then how should I report it?"

"Yes, and Master Merlin has completed the initial work on the trial puppet two hours ago. I hope you or your Excellency will have time to go there. That's all."

Li Fu's eyes flickered for a moment, and his straight posture like a javelin became a little out of shape when he mentioned the words 'Master Merlin', as if he was forcibly controlling himself not to tremble.

"I understand, go write your report."

Ji Xiaodao nodded expressionlessly, and then waved Li Fu away.

Five minutes later, in front of the study in Zuijue's residence

"Miss Silent Prayer."

A woman with smooth blond hair and a beautiful face leaned slightly towards Ji Xiaodao and made a polite gesture that looked heroic, but it did not match the elegantly colored long dress she was wearing.

The latter nodded slightly and asked softly to the woman in front of him: "How is your health?"

The former Paladin of the Sun Sect, Dora Shika, whose skin was so pale that he was sickly, smiled calmly, shook his head and said: "The potion prepared by Master Merlin is very useful. Now, except for the fact that the control of power is still somewhat inadequate, there is no more What’s the big deal?”

"Ah That's good"

Ji Xiaodao first breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute, is the potion he prepared for you to suppress rejection, or to relieve pain?"

Dora shrugged: "It accelerates the efficiency of fusion. Master Merlin wrote in the note attached to the potion box that as long as you continue to take it, you will be able to completely control your power in a month at most."

"so what?"

Ji Xiaodao's expression was a little gloomy, and he asked: "Can that thing slow down the rejection reaction? Or, instead of slowing down the reaction, it will even make you suffer greater pain?"

Dora didn't answer, just shrugged indifferently.

"Two months ago, when the rejection first started, you couldn't even get out of bed."

Ji Xiaodao stared at Dora's watery black eyes and said coldly: "And now you are actually cooperating with that lunatic Merlin to try to make your body completely absorb that power."

"But these days I can already get out of bed and walk in the yard."

"You're just holding on, that kind of pain"

"That pain is nothing."

Dora did not let Ji Xiaodao finish, but interrupted seriously: "At least for me, that's the case."

The two stood in front of the study and stared at each other for more than ten seconds. As Dora's gaze became more determined, Ji Xiaodao finally took the lead to look away.

"Is it worth it?"

she asked.

"You have no faith, so you don't know what it feels like to be betrayed by your faith."

Dora nodded and said softly: "I have lost the favor of the so-called gods, but those superiors who have abandoned the doctrine can still bathe in the grace of God unscrupulously. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"so what?"

"So I am willing to be Your Excellency's sharp sword and witness him crushing that ridiculous divine grace and overthrowing that lofty Kingdom of God."

Dora looked up at the gloomy sky and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Maybe I don't have the qualifications, but at least I can witness this great deed closer with my hard work. Compared with it, this level of pain is really real." It’s too insignificant.”

Ji Xiaodao looked at Dora blankly, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Has his power affected you after all?"

"Maybe, but I can guarantee that I have never been sober as I am now."

Dora shrugged noncommittally and said to Ji Xiaodao with a smile: "As the first person to stand by your side, Miss Silent Prayer, you don't need to feel sad for the changes in me, right?"

Ji Xiaodao suddenly laughed and nodded: "Yes, from my current position, any words of comfort are tantamount to hypocrisy or self-deception. I'm sorry, Dora, I just said some strange words."

"You don't have to apologize."

Dora shook her head and said softly: "Your Excellency gave me this life right now. That innocent Dora Shika died long ago in the tribunal underground in the City of Light. And I, who was recreated by Your Excellency, am the only one." My only wish is to carry out all your wishes."

"Even if he is wrong?"

"Even if he's wrong."

"You can turn back."

"No, you are the one who can turn back, Miss Silent Prayer. I know that unlike me and Lord Garros, you have never been affected by your power."

A flash of envy flashed through Dora's dark eyes. She turned to look at the closed door behind her and said softly: "Since you chose to have your Excellency erase part of my memory three months ago and swear an oath, From the moment you become his guardian knight, there is no turning back.”

Ji Xiaodao's pupils shrank: "Erase memory?"

"Oh, actually it has already recovered. When the first rejection reaction occurred."

Dora smiled and gently squeezed her delicate hands that were incompatible with the word knight: "But it doesn't matter. After all, the naive me has died long ago, so even if I think about some things again, they will no longer be a burden. "

Ji Xiaodao, who didn't know how to react, could only nod, and then reluctantly stopped talking about the topic that might hurt Dora, and asked softly: "Did you just go to see Mo?"

"No, it's just that Master Merlin suggested that it's best to get closer to you within half an hour after taking the medicine. Miss Silent Prayer, please don't think too much about it."

Dora blinked at Ji Xiaodao narrowly, then bowed to the latter and walked slowly to her room.

After Ji Xiaodao was silent for a few seconds, he asked Dora's back, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Well, if it's Miss Silent Prayer"

Dora paused for a moment, then turned back and smiled at Ji Xiaodao: "If I could occasionally accompany you to practice sparring for a while when you are free, I would be very grateful."

"fighting?"

"Just click and let's discuss."

"Accelerate fusion?"

"Exactly."

"That's it today."

Ji Xiaodao nodded slightly and said calmly: "If you are not in a hurry to rest, I will go find you after His Highness Arthur leaves."

"Then I wait for you."

Dora smiled and then continued walking to her room.

Ji Xiaodao, on the other hand, stopped in place for a moment, then turned and walked into the study.

"Did you plan Dora Shika to become what she is now?"

The girl casually pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the long table filled with parchment, looking at the sin lord in front of her with complicated eyes.

"Just go with the flow."

Mo casually picked up a report that Ji Xiaodao had personally sent earlier, flipping through it carelessly and saying nonchalantly: "She is an interesting experiment."

Ji Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a touch of sarcasm in his tone: "Oh? What was the result of the 'experiment'?"

"It wasn't successful, but you don't need to know any more details."

Mo casually burned the information in his hand to ashes, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair lazily and said: "Before Arthur Bohe arrives, tidy up this place a little."

Ji Xiaodao didn't move, just looked steadily at the eyes behind Mo's mask that rarely showed emotion: "So, if you don't turn Dora into a test subject, she will definitely die, right? "

"tomorrow."

Mo had no intention of answering the question, and just gave his own instructions: "Ask Viper's people to bring the newly developed things by Merlin to Jia Wen, and have them delivered to her within seven days."

For some reason, Ji Xiaodao seemed to be relieved, and then he stood up and carefully sorted out the pile of parchment on the table that was not actually messy. He piled them up into categories and put them in the cabinet while continuing to ask: "So you just chose the worse option between saving her and destroying her. As for the rest, it's just a coincidence?"

"You don't fit in here."

Those black eyes that seemed to be able to drag people into the bottomless abyss stared at Ji Xiaodao calmly.

"If by 'here' you mean 'around you', I couldn't agree more."

The girl casually waved a breeze and sent the little dust on the ground out of the window. She leaned on the edge of the table on Mo's left and crossed her arms and said with a smile: "But my thoughts of leaving 'here' are still getting weaker day by day. Although it is concrete Even I don’t know the reason, but from an objective perspective, it’s really mean.”

Mo closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair as if he was sleeping, saying nothing.

"If it is for relatively pure purposes such as equipment and level, it seems reasonable."

Ji Xiaodao turned his head slightly and looked at Mo's side face, and said with a smile: "Astor thinks that I have love for you, which seems reasonable, but if you really want to say why, in fact, even I can’t even explain it myself.”

"madness."

Mo, who was pretending to be asleep, lightly knocked on the armrest, but from the air, he shook Ji Xiaodao, who was sitting on the edge of the table with his legs crossed.

"Is it stupid?"

The girl walked lightly around the chair of the Sin Lord, turned her back to the latter and looked out the window at the boundless darkness: "This is a good reason. Maybe the reason why I can stay here until now is really just because of stupidity. That’s it.”

"You will regret it, Silent Prayer."

"I regretted it a long time ago, Mo."
