Platinum Throne

The waves of the elements beat against the stone pillars, and the stone pillars are connected to the sea of ​​elements above, penetrating through invisible barriers, and conveying the will of the Lord of Wind.

Norma raised her head, she watched silently for a while, then lowered her head again, and flapped her wings to fall.Following her movements, her figure shrank rapidly, and she soon became no different from an ordinary person.Her gaze swept across the main stone pillar, where there was one and only living body standing there.

Her biological mother, Bella Nelson.

The other party applauded after seeing Norma fall.

Norma's body was slightly stiff, and then stretched out quickly, she looked at Bella quietly.Bella drummed her palms a few times, with a dry and weak sound.Then her voice came, the one Norma was familiar with, a little haughty and calm.

"It went smoothly beyond my expectations." Bella looked at the silent Lord of Fire following Norma.At this time, the Lord of Fire, who had signed the contract, was not as irritable and restless as before, and was as quiet as the silent elemental creatures known to spell operators—they usually represent easy-to-use, free-for-nothing Slaves and coolies.

But this is the lord of the elements!

Even Bella, a woman who has stepped into the realm of demigods, couldn't help showing a little envy when she saw Ciel's burning body.

But Norma didn't.She just looked at Bella, her current figure was almost the same as that of an ordinary human, but she still had the crown and the pair of black horns.The mother and daughter looked at each other without speaking.

But Bella lived many years longer than Norma, and soon she laughed: "How did you find out that the Endless Sky Pillar is a huge magic circle."

Norma raised her eyes: "I thought you had already found out."

Bella shook her head: "I have a feeling, but there are too many pillars in the sky, and it is impossible to confirm the effective position."

If it wasn't for the map that Irene gave her back then, Norma might be the same as Bella, unable to confirm.But...Norma frowned, as if she had a feeling of her own destiny.And this feeling is really not a good feeling, so Norma has a natural resistance.

Norma took a deep breath, she didn't want to pay attention to Bella, but her rationality told her that she should continue talking.As one of the top people on this continent, Bella Nelson is worth more than just her blood mother.

Norma frowned, restraining the disdain and pride burning in her heart, and said the matter quickly.Bella listened to her daughter's words very quietly. It was the first time that she and Norma were so calm.In the past, during the few times when they communicated with each other in the past, Bella looked at Norma mostly like a pure manipulator—the kind of person who looks at herself in the laboratory. The kind of expression that evaluates the other party's data as a test object.

As for Norma, at the very beginning, when she was a young cub who naturally sought the protection of her blood relatives, she had hoped, rested, and yearned for Bella.

Then this feeling was wiped out by Bella's indifferent eyes.

After going through many things, Norma would even feel that her emotions towards Bella were ridiculous.After all, they are two completely different people, why should she ask Bella to have love for her.

Love.

What an extravagant word.

"It's very interesting. With such a handwriting, it's hard not to think of gods." Bella was obviously interested in Norma's words, "It's really unexpected, has what we are doing now already fallen into their eyes? Could it be? Which one?"

"I am also not certain."

It's not sure, not don't know.Bella hooked her lips: "I'm not sure either."

Norma turned her head and glanced at Shire, who made a face at Norma.The lava piled up on its "face", and then exploded with a bang.

Norma: "..." Why is an elemental creature so mischievous, can't you just learn from your other races?

"Hey, let me tell you, how long are you going to stay here? You should go to the next place." Obviously, Charles didn't understand Norma's point, and Charles ignored Bella. The understanding of elemental creatures is different from that of humans. of.

Norma thought for a while: "Are you in a hurry?"

Bella: "..." Maybe her daughter is also different from human understanding.

"A little bit. But after all I've been waiting for so long, I don't really care about taking a little more time-but maybe you don't have much time-I mean, human beings are always in my sleep I don’t know how many years before I died.”

Charles showed a puzzled expression.The perception of the passage of time by long-lived species is very different from that of humans, so their expressions of time are also different.

"I've been waiting for a long time..." Norma said softly, she made up her mind, "I want to talk to her first."

"Okay, okay." Charles said, rolled up to look for Freya, Freya squatted on her altar, circling a small whirlwind, looking very cute.Ciel poked his companion, and Freya swelled up, engulfing Ciel.Charlton burst out laughing.

Norma glanced at her contracted creatures, and then turned her head: "I don't quite understand their thoughts. Now we can continue talking." After finishing speaking, Norma took a deep breath, "How much do you know, I am Say... You attracted me here, isn't it just for now?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Bella replied. After noticing Norma's downcast face, she smiled, but she was rarely tired. "None of this has anything to do with you."

"...This is my business." Norma said stiffly.

"...Anyway, I won't harm you. The better you go, the stronger you get. There's nothing wrong with that." Bella laughed. gone."

"But this is my business!!" Norma emphasized, her chest was burning with anger, which had been burning for a long time, and now finally has an outlet, "I am not a pawn, and I am not in your hand." If you want it, you should do it yourself. The idea of ​​the element pipeline..." She closed her eyes, and finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

"Is it really my idea?"

Bella raised her eyebrows, she thought for a while, and then asked, "What if it wasn't your idea?"

This is just an assumption.Norma knew that it was reasonable to make the assumption.But she still felt the pain from the blow to her self-esteem and self-confidence.She sneered: "Then give it to you, you can do it yourself."

"... Even if the future is to become a god?" Bella asked.

"I do not need."

Bella then smiled, with a sermon-like aloofness: "Everyone is holding you to the commanding heights, it's not something you can just say no to."

Norma was silent, her expression was determined.Bella laughed softly: "Look, you are still a child. If it were me..."

"I'm not you."

Norma lowered her voice, she turned around, remained silent for a while, and finally said, "Go away!"

Bella laughed loudly. She wasn't angry at all because of her daughter's anger. The laughter quickly dissipated, and Norma didn't return it.It was only after a long time that Charles came closer: "That woman disappeared."

Norma wiped her face, her face changed again, her brown hair was softly coiled on her forehead, after a while, her golden eyes stared at Charles: "We still have something to say, about Elemental pipeline, about your contract."

"Of course." Charles lazily spat out a mouthful of flames.When facing a bloodline from the abyss, the Lord of Fire is not worried that his pure fire element will scorch the opponent.This is probably something that it feels very happy. There is a large arc-shaped hole on its face, and the lava drips from the top to the bottom, as if it is laughing, "We can talk slowly, but since this The formation has already started, so there is no possibility of stopping. There is a contract between us that clearly stipulates this."

Norma's face darkened a little, she nodded: "I remember, it is marked on No.20 seven."

"You abyssal races always like to exploit some loopholes." Charles smiled proudly, "So I deliberately pulled an abyssal species, sealed it in a lava cave, and changed the regulations for 200 years—— Make sure every regulation is very precise."

"..." Norma was silent for a while, she was a little speechless, but also thought of more.

In 200 years, who initiated it, who is persisting, and is that person still alive?

Norma even felt a little suffocated.

She thought for a while and replied, "Let's go then."

Charles cheered and waved to Freya. Freya put a small strand into Norma's hair and made a small whirlwind.Just the next moment, this little Freya was caught by Norma. She looked at Freya coldly, and Freya was aggrieved and stopped moving.

Norma threw Freya to Shire, and she took a step forward, across the space, to the edge of the stone pillar.She looked up at the sky. Although she couldn't perceive the surrounding environment, the elements told Norma all the time that the environment here had been gradually changed.

There are no other living beings around, most of them are below.After many years, the winged tribesmen and centaurs mixed together again.Norma fell to the ground. She glanced at those who looked at her and frowned: "The environment here has changed. You'd better find other habitats."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the silent expressions of those people, paused, and realized that she had finished what she wanted to say, so she planned to turn around and leave.At this time, Caroline's voice suddenly came: "Mentor, Eva has woken up. Aren't you going to see her?"

Norma looked back at Caroline, she was a little surprised, she thought that the other party had left with her mother, just like before, silently and quietly abandoned herself.

But Caroline just smiled and gave Norma a wink in public.

Norma: "..."

She suddenly got a little angry.
