I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

Li Xiang murmured.

"But there is one condition that I don't have. I'm still missing something crucial!!"

Ignoring Tachika's murmur, Asclepius grabbed the boy's shoulders and roared angrily with red eyes.

"Hmm... what is it?"

Lixiang couldn't understand that the white-haired young man who had been quiet in the past, as if nothing could touch his heartstrings, was so angry at this moment.

"Energy—or super-high-concentration, pure divine power! Only after mixing super-high-concentration divine power, can many medicines with different characteristics be perfectly fused together!"

After saying this, Asclepius suddenly noticed his over-excitement, and suddenly began to calm down again.

"In the past few days, I have made many attempts and considered other plans, but all of them have failed—it turns out that perhaps only the strongest divine power can create such a miracle of living dead human flesh and white bones. "

"Is it true that the fate of mankind is still in the hands of the gods in the end...? Hmph, what an irony."

"But if it is made, doesn't it mean that the fate of mankind will no longer be played by the gods?"

Lixiang didn't expect that Asclepius would fall into such a dead-headed time, so he couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder.

"what……?"

"But it's just a different angle according to what you said... isn't it? Don't be so pessimistic. People should always be optimistic."

Li Xiang smiled, "Okay, although I can't laugh a lot, but anyway, it's a day to spend a day lamenting, and it's a day to spend a day happily, so why not be more optimistic?"

"Theiasius, you—"

"At least show some of your usual disdain for anything other than medicine, okay——I'll ask Athena, she should be willing to help me."

"Wait for me a moment—"

Lixiang smiled, and then ran out of the small cabin under Asclepius' astonished gaze.

Asclepius froze for a moment, pausing for several seconds.

"Theiasius... you are really..."

…………

"Um, want me to help?"

"Ah."

Li Xiang nodded solemnly and said, "It's just a little favor."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and compared it with his index finger and thumb.

"Hmph, what do you want me to do for you?"

Athena crossed her arms expressionlessly, and she didn't seem to buy Lixiang's account.

"It's just a small favor... come with me first?"

"..."

Athena thought for a moment, then smiled.

"Okay."

"Well, I knew you'd help me."

Li Xiang, who had no doubts about Athena at all, immediately smiled when she heard the girl change her words.

"but!"

"but……?"

"My help is not free, is it?"

Athena showed a sly smile as if the plan was successful, and then slowly said: "Carry me over there, don't use magic? Go step by step, carry me there, and I will help you."

"Um……"

Lixiang did not directly agree.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"No, it's just a little strange why you suddenly have such a request... Obviously you can use this to make me do something else, right?"

The boy looked at the girl in front of him and asked a little strangely.

"...Hmph, if you want me to help you, you have to obey my request, right?"

"Well...that's right."

"Then it's okay to follow my mood, right? Hmph~"

Athena turned her head and snorted arrogantly.

"That's right..."

"That?"

"Of course I'm fine!"

Lixiang never cared about such trivial matters, let alone this was Athena's request.

After speaking, he turned his back to Athena and slowly bent down.

"bring it on."

"..."

There was a softness in Athena's eyes, and then she lay on the boy's back.

Lixiang picked up the two smooth long legs that passed through her waist, and began to walk towards Asclepius' cabin step by step.

"Does Athena like this?"

Lixiang asked as he walked.

"It's just a passing interest."

Athena answered very plainly, but her jade arm passed through Lixiang's shoulder, and gently held his neck. Now Lixiang couldn't see her expression. At this moment, her expression was soft and quiet, relying on In the boy's body, she felt unprecedented peace of mind.

—Of course I like it.

Such thoughts kept popping up in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to say it directly.

——I like it so much, I really want to lean on your side all the time.

But reason as the god of wisdom keeps her silent. She is a god, a powerful goddess, not a little girl who will depend on him for a while.

This is her own pride, even if the proud goddess has love in her heart, she will never show an inseparable nostalgia because of it.

——Can you read my heart?

——Obviously I didn't say anything, but you just asked this question.

——I'm just... I'm just afraid that if I can't be carried by you like this after this war that I don't know whether I can win, what should I do?

——When I think of this, I feel more or less regretful.

——So in the final analysis, I just want me not to have so many regrets if I choose to leave in the end.

Athena leaned lightly on Lixiang's back, thoughts in her heart one after another.

I really want... I really want to be carried by you all the time...

…………

The chaotic thoughts didn't last long, at least in Athena's perception.

It's as if a few scenes passed by before my eyes, and I arrived at the destination without knowing it.

Looking at the small wooden house in front of her, the girl on Lixiang's back pursed her lips. For some reason, she now has a strong feeling of being unable to let go.

"Okay—here we are."

Lixiang put Athena down gently, then turned around and helped her tidy up the creases on the white dress.

Carrying people is a very tiring thing, but being carried on the back is probably not too easy. Lixiang patted Athena's white dress and said, "How is it? Will it be too long to be carried on the back?" Comfortable?"

Athena curled her lips: "Don't think of me as that kind of little girl who is particularly easy to coax."

"……All right."

Li Xiang remained silent, in fact, this kind of words are the most common words that a little girl who is looking forward to being taken care of will say to the person she likes.

But he didn't dare to say it, because he didn't know whether Athena would run away shyly because of his outspokenness, or just nail him to the wall with a gun to make him reflect on the mistakes of his language.

"Oh—he's back, much sooner than I thought."

Asclepius looked at the two who pushed open the door, and said without any other meaning.

Lixiang: "..."

Do not say much, understand everything.

Anyway, he didn't know where Asclepius learned such a strange skill.

"Okay, okay, let's save this kind of joke that is not funny at all for later, what do we need to do?"

Athena didn't know about Asclepius' yin and yang aura, but Tachika chose to skip it expressionlessly.

"This is the prototype of No. 20 No. [-] [Lament of Hades] that I have prepared so far... Ya... Athena only needs to inject her high concentration of divine power into this potion."

"That's all it takes?"

Athena habitually does not want to miss any details, after all, details determine success or failure.

"This is enough, after all, I only need a high concentration of divine power to fully activate the elixir."

Asclepius frowned and said he would not speak to the gods if he could.

But there is no way.

"it is good."

Athena gave a simple and clear answer, and then stretched out a hand. Ripples visible to the naked eye began to spread from the air, and the shimmering true ether was instantly driven up, released from the goddess' palm, and injected into the In the crystal vessel below.

"Very-very good! Go on!"

Asclepius stared intently at about [-] milliliters of the dark red liquid below, under the urging of the power of God, releasing a bright and bewitching blood-red color again.

And as the power of God continued to be poured into the elixir, Athena's complexion also began to gradually turn pale.

——It seems a bit too forced.

But at this moment, a palm covered by a moon-white glove gently grabbed her hand, interlocking its fingers.

"……Eh?"

Athena looked at the young man in front of her with a look of surprise, who was continuously sending the real ether into her body through the touch of his fingertips.

…………

…………

Chapter 150: True Medicine: Lament of the Useless Underworld

The boy's hands were tightly intertwined with hers, and the pure ether in his body that was continuously filtered by the golden cup poured into her body almost without hindrance.

"I don't know if I can help."

Seeing Athena's eyes filled with surprise, Lixiang showed a smile that stunned her, "But you helped me clear my current true ether path, so it shouldn't be a problem to achieve this level. "

Obviously it was an invisible act of reducing the great pressure for her, the smile on her face was full of tenderness, and her words were full of warmth, but Athena couldn't help it when she heard Li Xiang's explanation. Some helplessly smiled.

Even if I want to show it in front of you, can't I?Fool……

But what Lixiang said was not wrong. Now all the true ether paths opened on him based on the magic circuit were Athena who helped him to clear them bit by bit, and the operation mode of the true ether was completely in accordance with Athena herself. divided by standards.

So there is no barrier between Lixiang and Athena, even if it is just a simple physical contact, the flow between magic power and true ether will be unimpeded.

In other words, Lixiang is simply Athena's exclusive power bank.

Although so many thoughts flashed uncontrollably in her mind, Athena was still releasing a high concentration of divine power, and those particles showing a crystal-like clear color quickly merged into the crystal vessel below, making the originally dim The color of the dull elixir became more and more alluring.

"Om..."

"Okay! Enough!"
