Human, am I evil?

Di Ruiji didn't step forward to disturb, she didn't step forward until the alchemy table exploded and the experiment failed.

"May I interrupt you for a while, Sugar. I have a few questions I want to ask you."

"Eh? Eh! Di...Miss Di Ruiji? What a...what a coincidence that I met you here."

Granu adjusted his glasses a little uncomfortable, and while tidying up the alchemy table, he said, "Please...what do you want to ask, as long as it is something I know, I will tell you."

"I want to know about Abedo's situation. Has he returned to Mond from Longji Snow Mountain recently?"

"Mr. Abedo? That... yes, Mr. Abedo came back yesterday. He seemed to want to buy something. Mr. Timaus and I even asked him some questions. Is this answer okay? "

In addition to these, is there no other abnormal place found?

Originally, he was going to ask this sentence, but after saying this sentence, Granose would definitely realize that Di Ruiji suspected Abedo, and thus realized that there was something wrong with Abedo.

But... she is a student of Abedo, she must trust Abedo, but Di Ruiji is not that kind of bad person, she must have some reason to ask her these questions.

In order to prevent Granu from causing unnecessary anxiety, Di Ruiji didn't ask this question, but said that she wanted to ask Abedo about something. Since he is not in Mond now, she would go to Longji Snow Mountain.

Longji Snow Mountain... Demon Dragon Du Lin, although it is not clear whether this strange Abedo that suddenly appeared has anything to do with the abnormality of the snow mountain, but with Abedo's special status, let's take it seriously.

"Wait a minute, Di Ruiji."

At this time, a familiar voice interrupted Di Ruiji's thoughts, she turned around, and saw Yula trotting towards her direction.

She finally got the chance. She thought she was going to miss out again today, but she didn't expect to find Di Ruiji here.

"Are you going to leave Mond City? Where are you going?"

"Well, I'm planning to go to Longji Snow Mountain. There are some things I want to talk to Abedo. What about you? Yula. Are you going to go out on a mission?"

"Longji Snow Mountain? That's fine, let's go there and take a look. Take an ice bath by the way."

Just like when we first met, Yula likes to take a bath in the frozen lake of Longji Snow Mountain, the cold lake water has no effect on her.

It might be better to say that she likes the water temperature very much, probably because of the God's Eye, which is not an interest that ordinary people can have.

"You shouldn't mind if I go with you, Di Ruiji."

"Of course not. Since you are willing to go with me, let's go together."

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Di Ruiji also wanted to have a good chat with Yula. As a friend, it would be too much not to agree to this level of request.

"Well, let's go together. By the way, I will take you to take an ice bath together, so that you can understand that hot water is not necessarily good for bathing."

Volume 319: [-]: They are all good

"How is the situation in Mond City? Do the residents in the city still reject you so much?"

Most of the residents of Mond City are good people, but when it comes to the Lawrence family, these people tend to be more extreme.

This is also helpless, after all, the Lawrence family has caused such long-term damage to Mond, even after so many years, this damage cannot be eliminated.

Moreover, many members of the Lawrence family don't think there is anything wrong with them, and think that the Lawrence family should be superior to others. This is why the Lawrence family has never been able to be forgiven.

When he thought of the young Lawrence who tried his best to provoke him when he was being treated in Mond City, Di Ruiji felt furious. Yula still had a long way to go.

"It's much better. Although some people's attitudes are still the same as before, many people's attitudes have changed. You know, I used to be driven away even to buy things, but now I won't."

At first, it was because they were Di Ruiji's friend and a person recognized by Di Ruiji. They believed in Di Ruiji and didn't want Di Ruiji to be dissatisfied, so they went to receive her.

But as the number of contacts increased, they gradually discovered that Yura was different from other members of the Lawrence family.

Although she often used the catchphrase [I wrote down this hatred], no one saw her doing any revenge.

This made them discover that Yula, who was recognized by Di Ruiji, was not as bad as they thought. Of course, this does not mean that other members of the Lawrence family are also like Yula, but... this made them willing to accept Yula. .

Gradually, even some parents are willing to let their children get in touch with Yula, and more and more people are willing to accept Yula, which is something she never dared to think of before.

And all of this was brought about by Di Ruiji. If it wasn't for her willingness to believe in herself and do those things for herself, I'm afraid she still can only go to [Angel's Gift] now, and drink away the depression in her heart.

"That's good. I believe that those few people will gradually be infected by the majority, and will choose to accept you like the majority. When you have these mass bases, you can use the power of the Knights later to obtain Patriarch Lawrence." position."

As long as the position of Patriarch Lawrence can be obtained, the Lawrence family can usher in real changes.

This is also the motivation that Yura has been working hard for. In order to revive the Lawrence family, instead of becoming an aristocrat that people hate, but become a nobleman that all Mond people respect.

"Come on, Yura. Let me know if you need help, and I will help you."

"Well, I see. Thank you, Di Ruiji. In fact, I am more worried about the performance of my uncle and the others. They no longer trust me...or in my family's West Wind Knights, he already did not trust me gone."

"They have always wanted to revive the Lawrence family and let the Lawrence family return to their past leadership. In order to achieve this goal, they went to the Fools to cooperate and discussed to deal with Mond together."

Because she was not trusted, Yula knew very little about the inside story. She only knew that when her uncle was negotiating this plan with the fools, the secret base built by the fools outside Mond City was taken by the Knights of the West Wind for unknown reasons. Find one and destroy it.

This kind of thing happens too much, and the fools can't continue to negotiate with each other, and the plan will eventually come to nothing.

Hmm~ unknown reason?It should be Ajialu, she ran to Liyue because she had no choice but to find all the fools' bases on Mond's side.

I didn't expect this move to inadvertently destroy this plan...a plan that sounds particularly ridiculous.

Really, I don't even think about whether the fools are really so kind, and they will help regain the leadership position.

I'm afraid they just want to create a puppet government to control Mond. Let alone the Knights, Wendy will definitely not allow this kind of thing.

But the reason why she didn't act was that besides thinking that the Knights could handle it, she also thought that the plan was impossible to implement, so she didn't make too much sense.

"Those people also have big problems. If you really want to make Mond accept the Lawrence family, people like your uncle will become your biggest obstacle. You may have to turn against them, and you may even turn them Get caught. Straight to jail or something, you... can do that?"

No matter how much I hated these people in my heart, they were all my own clansmen, relatives in the strict sense, did Yura really have the heart to treat them like that?

Yura was silent for a while, took a deep breath, her eyes became serious, and she nodded.

"If it really becomes like that, I will definitely arrest them. This is necessary, and we can't do something special just because they are relatives. Otherwise... nothing can be changed."

Yula's attitude is very clear, if she can't take this step, then nothing can be changed, even if she is resented by those people, even if she is labeled as a traitor, she will not back down.

She believed that history would prove her right. Even if members of the Lawrence family of this generation thought she was wrong, members of the Lawrence family born later would definitely understand her. As long as this was the case, what she did was meaningful.

Di Ruiji was very satisfied with Yula's answer, although she hesitated for a while, she could feel the firmness in his words.

She...really does it, she really wants to make a difference.

Since she was already so determined, how could he not support her as a friend.

So much for some heavy topics, Di Ruiji changed the subject and talked about his experience with Dao's wife.

During the chat, they came to Longji Snow Mountain, and encountered Qiuqiu people and other monsters blocking the way.

Yula took out her great sword to fight, and Di Ruiji also summoned a scythe to harvest the lives of these monsters.

These monsters are not their opponents at all, they can only be harvested by the two of them.

During the battle, Yula looked at Di Ruiji who was fighting other monsters from time to time. She knew that Di Ruiji was very powerful, and she had dealt with the executive officer [Doctor] of the Fools alone before.

But she knew that she had never seen the scene of Di Ruiji fighting, and she finally saw it today, so what should I say?Very beautiful.

Just like how he integrated the [Rite Dance] into West Wind Swordsmanship, Di Ruiji's posture of wielding a scythe in battle also seemed to be dancing.

Although there is a dancing part in her battle, it is not obvious, but Di Ruiji's is completely opposite. If she doesn't have a weapon in her hand, then she seems to be dancing a beautiful waltz.

In a sense, their combination was quite suitable, which made Yula couldn't help chuckling a few times, and her movements became more agile.

Soon, there were no traces of other Qiuqiu people nearby, and Di Ruiji collected the masks and arrows dropped by these Qiuqiu people.

These are all things that Ying needs, and the Adventurers Association will also entrust the recycling of such materials, so it should be regarded as a favor to her.

"Why does the Adventurer's Association recycle these materials? Do they serve any purpose?"

"I don't know very well. It may be that there is some special material in it, which can be used in alchemy or weapon manufacturing. The metal on the arrow is quite meaningful, whether it is forging weapons or used to strengthen weapons. Useful."

"Is that so... Then what is Ying's purpose in collecting rough stones?"

Till now, Di Ruiji still doesn't know the purpose of Ying's efforts to collect the rough stones. The key point is that the rough stones she got will soon disappear without a trace, and she doesn't know where she used them.

After a while, test it a little and see if she reveals any useful information.

"Has anything happened in Longji Snow Mountain recently? Yula. It is covered with snow all year round. If ordinary people take risks here, accidents will easily happen."

"Well, the Knights of the West Wind have received many reports of coming here to take risks and eventually disappear. We have also organized personnel to search for it, but the terrain of the snow mountain is complicated, and extreme weather occurs from time to time. Many people have not been found."

Although the snow mountain is so dangerous, there are still many people who come to take risks every year. In order to prevent these people from getting into trouble, the Knights will set up food boxes all over the snow mountain. Once someone runs out of ammunition and food, they can get some food here. supplies to increase the chances of survival.

But even if they did this, there were still people who could not come back, just like the father named Joel who lived in the camp outside the snow mountain, he was the one who disappeared after entering the snow mountain.

Although there is no definite evidence, most people think his father is dead.

"...There is no way to do this. Since you want to take risks, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life. I think those people also know this, so they will do this."

There are many people in this world who don't have God's Eye, but they all choose to be adventurers, and some even explore some ruins more aggressively than some God's Eye owners.

why is that?Don't they know it's dangerous to do so?Of course they are well aware of the dangers of doing so.

But what they are more afraid of is being forgotten. They want to do something to make people remember them. In order to achieve this, they embark on this dangerous journey, even if their bodies are broken.

It is precisely because of these people that people have made great progress in the exploration of certain ruins. They are all heroes.

The atmosphere inexplicably became heavy again, Yula and Di Ruiji didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Di Ruiji noticed that not far away, Abedo, whom he was looking for, was sketching there, with a concentrated expression, completely oblivious to their arrival.

Volume 320: [-]: Amber in a complicated mood while taking a bath in the ice lake

He was sketching again. It is said that his drawing skills are quite good. He is obviously an alchemist, so why is he proficient in this aspect.

Could it be that in order to draw better graphics, the ability in this area has been improved unconsciously?

Di Ruiji glanced at Yula, Abedo was sketching at this time, so it would be a little bad to interrupt suddenly, but she was not alone, there was Yula next to her, by the way, I would like to ask her opinion.

Yula didn't show any impatience, on the contrary, she was quite interested in Abedo's works, and the snow mountain, which she was already very familiar with, had another taste in Abedo's hands.

It's just that the Qiuqiu people who are dancing strangely above are a little in the way. If they didn't appear, the effect of this painting would be better.

Fortunately, Abedo's speed was very fast, and a sketch was quickly completed. Looking at his work, Abedo nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh? It's you. When did you come here?"

"I came here halfway, and I didn't bother you when I saw you sketching. By the way, you are a researcher, why did you draw Qiuqiu people? Does this also help your research?"

Abedo shook his head: "It's just a hobby, just for sneaking in. Besides, I don't fully devote my energy to alchemy. I also help draw illustrations, which is considered an illustrator."

"Illustrator? Inazuma's light novel? Do you still have this kind of job?"

This... these two jobs are completely irrelevant. Before people ask you to do illustrations, you need to have a certain reputation.

Could it be that... have you worked as an illustrator for others more than once?Um?Wait a moment...

"When I was in Inazuma, I heard from the editors of Yaedo that in the field of illustrators, there is a very powerful illustrator called [White Chalk]. This chalk, it must be you."

Abedo said before that chalk is a word that most people don't know, and most people don't know this, that is to say... he is already a well-known illustrator in the industry?

"Well, that's me."

"It's really you... If it weren't for your accomplishments in alchemy, I would definitely say that you don't care about your business."

I always feel that there are a lot of things to complain about, but I feel that if I seriously complain about it, I will lose, and I fall into a rather delicate state.

Abedo didn't rush to ask Di Ruiji why he came to find him, and began to organize his sketching tools, preparing to return to his stronghold in the snow mountain.

Yula, who has been silent all this time, pushed Di Ruiji, and the pleasantries can be over here, and if this continues, there is no way to get to the point.

Don't you have something urgent?This time is unstable, when are you going to ask?

Di Ruiji nodded, signaling Yula not to worry, she was just about to speak.

"Recently, have you returned to Mond? Abedo."

Recalling what Grano had said to her, Di Ruiji asked calmly while Abedo was tidying up his tools.

"Huh? No, I've been staying in the snow mountain recently. What's the matter? Did something happen in the city? Did Granu and Timaus come looking for me?"

He didn’t lie, he really never left the snow-capped mountains, so the [Abedo] that Granu met, and the [Abedo] who was staring at him in secret were not himself.

After observing Abedo for a while, there was no injury on his body, and there was no plague breath left by the clone in his body. It is basically certain that he is not the same person as the one he saw before.

"It's not about the city, nor about Granu and Timaus, but I have something to ask you. Have you seen someone pretending to be you recently?"

I always feel that there is something very confidential in it, and Yula is still here, so don't involve her in it, Di Ruiji asked in a different way.

"A person pretending to be me?"
