Under the glass steps at night, Yingjia Village is unusually quiet.
Not to mention the sound of fighting outside, not even the chirping of insects and birds.
But this is obviously unreasonable.
Aiwass has long been aware of the inconsistency.
Because in a rural area like this, there should be a lot of insects, snakes, birds and beasts.
It is different from the situation on the Glass Island where the inspection bureau often comes to inspect the sanitation, and various pest control companies and rat removal companies hand out flyers on the street. In a village like Yingjia Village located deep in the forest, it is not impossible for a wild wolf to walk around the village in the middle of the night and see a snake under the quilt when getting up.
Not to mention all kinds of little bugs.
Even though the chirping bugs are not active in winter, after visiting Eagle Point Village for a few days, Aiwass didn’t even see a single ladybug, spider, or slug.
Not only were there no howls of wolves or meows of cats, there was not even the sound of birds flapping their wings.
"Are there no hunters in your village?"
Aiwass asked Haina.
Haina hesitated for a while, "Well, maybe, maybe not."
"This is the most outrageous reply I've heard this month."
Sherlock complained, "Either you have it, or you don't, how can you still have it?"
"We are in Muwan County."
Walking back and forth in the room Haina responded confidently with her hands on her hips, "If you want to eat meat, you have to find herdsmen. There are a lot of herdsmen herding sheep and cattle. Although there are occasional game in the village, they may be bought from Bagpipe Town, or Maybe they were exchanged from other villages.”
Now it’s not sure whether the fight is over, so Haina doesn’t dare to go home.
But Haina had nothing to do, she was energetic and extremely excited, so she could only circle around the room, and then run from time to time to tease the gryphon who was about to fall asleep.
Liz lay in the corner and almost fell asleep three times, but every time she was woken up by Haina.
The key is that after waking up, Haina didn't need to do anything with it. Instead, she quickly touched its head and comforted it to sleep. Then he walked around the room a few times and couldn't help but look for the griffin to play with.
There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, the three other people besides her, Aiwass, Sherlock and Lily, were not easy to disturb.
Lily is introverted and quiet. Even if she chats with her, Lily will just smile and listen without saying a word. Only Aiwass was slightly more responsive when chatting with her.
She really wanted to play with Aiwass, but now Aiwass, as the minister, is really very powerful to Haina. She was afraid of Edward as the inspector general at the beginning, but now Aiwass is much more powerful than Edward.
And there is no need to mention Sherlock.
He was reading the book Haina over thereI went over to take a look and found that it was actually a book about astrology.
Haina felt dizzy after just one look at the large letters, numbers and symbols inside.
Of course, if she was forced to recite it, she would probably be able to memorize it all. But it’s hard to understand.
What pleased her was that even Sherlock, who was on the path of wisdom, could not easily understand this book. The little Sherlock frowned and thought hard, looking like his younger brother working hard on his homework, which was very cute.
But perhaps it was because Sherlock also got a headache from watching Haina's rhythmic behavior of passing behind him, which made Sherlock put down the book with an angry thud and raised his head. Come and curse a few words.
He really disliked Haina’s restless behavior of walking around people in the middle of the night and making noise, and commented harshly on her as “an energetic jackass warming up for tomorrow’s grind.” .
So Haina didn’t want to get close to Sherlock.
As stupid as she is, she knows that she is indeed not smart compared to Sherlock. But the donkey was not happy to hear it.
She is more or less a popular pretty girl in school. To be called a donkey is too much.
At least she must be a cute animal like a horse or a dog
“Speaking of which,” Aiwass on the side was thoughtful, raising his hand to stop Haina who was spinning around, “When you were young, you would run around with your friends, right? "
"Of course, otherwise there would be nothing fun here." Haina nodded.
"Have you ever been near the forest?"
"We often play in the forest."
Haina replied.
Hearing this, Sherlock suddenly frowned and raised his head and asked, "You guys are playing in the forest"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
< p>Haina felt guilty, wondering if she had said something wrong."That's a big problem."
Sherlock frowned like a little adult, "You adults just let you run around in the woods"
"What's wrong?" Haina was a little confused. "It's not like we're going to the swamp. We're not allowed to go to any dangerous swamps. But it's useless just to say that we'll still go every month, haha."
Haina said something like "As long as you haven't been discovered, you haven't been there" and "No one has really had any accidents anyway", and she wanted to talk about her childhood adventures with great interest.
But her words were directly interrupted by Sherlock, "Aren't you adults worried about bad people or wild beasts and poisonous insects in the forest?"
Haina was stunned when she heard this. one time.
She then vaguely reacted, "That's probably true. Didn't Aiwass say that our village is in the fairy boundary? That should be the reason."
"Then they will Aren't you afraid that you will be captured by goblins?"
Sherlock then asked.
Hear this, Haina finally fell silent.
She hissed lightly and fell into confusion.
Yes, why?
Aiwass vaguely guessed something.
He asked warmly, "Senior, how much do you know about these forests?"
"Ah, Aiwass, you'd better not call me senior, I've graduated."
Haina waved her hands in embarrassment, "Just call me Haina."
Now she just listened to Aiwass's polite and affectionate name, I felt like I was sweating profusely.
How could she ask a young powerful minister, the current patriarch of the founding family, a member of the Round Table Hall, and possibly even the future Prince Regent of Avalon and the future Speaker of the Round Table Hall to call her senior? Such a big face.
Haina today is no longer as young and energetic as she was when she first started working in the Supervision Bureau. She has grown up a bit now and understands more things. And her contact with Aiwass was not so much the reason why they formed a close relationship. It was just because Aiwass shared with her the taboo secrets about the Silver Crowned Dragon becoming the Pillar God.
From then on, they were accomplices. Because they share a forbidden secret, and both know that the other party also holds it, and they also know that the other party did not report them immediately, so they became a grasshopper on a rope.
It was also from then on that Haina was forced to join many plans of Aiwass and Sherlock. As a result, she knew more and more, and now she couldn't run away.
Now that she fully understood what the name Aiwass meant in Avalon, she wished she could go back in time and punch herself twice when she was so stupid back then.
Aiwass just smiled and easily saw through what Haina was worried about. "It's okay, senior. From the first time I called you senior, you have given me kindness." From then on, I can call you senior sister.
"I later called you by your first name, Haina, to show my closeness; but now the situation is different, I call you by your first name. It has become a matter of business, and calling you senior has become a closeness, so I will naturally choose the more intimate title. "
"But"
"There is nothing to be ashamed of. ”
Aiwass’s fingertips lightly tapped the table, and the tapping sound gently interrupted Haina’s words.
Although he is no longer in a wheelchair, The habits left behind at that time still remain.
“You are a close disciple of the Great Arbitrator.
Aiwass said lightly, "A genius who has touched the fourth energy level wall at the age of twenty-two and two months."
"Who can say that you are not the next great arbiter?"
"Ah no, no, no, no, no, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't."
< p>Haina was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.She did not feel the strong fighting spirit inspired by her ambition at all.I just felt tremendous pressure.
Even if Haina does not understand politics, she can intuitively realize that the Grand Arbiter is a powerful protector of Avalon today. Without the Great Arbiter, I am afraid that Avalon will be immediately dragged into the war.
So what does the next great arbitrator mean?
It means that he has to shoulder the important task of "protecting the country"
In other words, if the next great arbiter When he was in his hands, Avalon was dragged into the war, and that was his responsibility
It was all because he was not as powerful as his teacher
Further thoughts , if Avalon was destroyed because of this, wouldn’t she be a sinner
When she thought that future history books would list her as the direct cause of Avalon’s destruction, Haina felt that she had All numb.
How could she bear this level of responsibility
Aiwass smiled and did not continue to pursue.
But changed back to the previous topic "Sister, did you carve a knife into a small tree on the way to school?"
"Ah, you noticed it "Haina?"
Haina was a little embarrassed, "Sure enough, its location is too prominent. Yes, when I was in middle school, I carved a knife into that small tree on the way to school. I came back a few days ago. When I saw it, I found that it was still in the same place. The position of the tree and the tree mark were exactly the same as before. I was really touched. Nothing seemed to have changed. ”
"Carved a knife"
Sherlock suddenly realized something.
He raised his eyebrows, closed and put the book down, and sat up straight.
"You can't use that tree to record your height."
"No, no way"
Haina hesitated.
She has a terminal illness that makes her feel guilty whenever Sherlock questions her.
"Is it accurate?"
Sherlock just asked rhetorically.
"It's pretty accurate."
Haina was a little confused.
"Are you sure the width of the mark is the same as when you carved it?"
"It's the same, I remember it very clearly. The depth is the same, it's just a layer of scarring."
Haina replied firmly, "Not only are the carvings, but also the shape of the crown is exactly the same. That tree is very beautiful. I have rarely seen a tree that looks so similar. It seems." There's something wrong, just understand the meaning."
Sherlock took a breath, "No, have you never suspected that there is something wrong here?"
Even Lily couldn't bear it Can't stand it anymore.
She said softly, "The small Haina tree is different from the fully developed tree, and the tree is different from the person. The scars on the human body will not grow with age, but the small tree will not grow with age. The marks on the tree will gradually widen, although the speed is very slow, but the marks you left in the past will definitely deform.
"It will not rise, but it will become longer and thicker"
"No. My senior sister probably won't understand what you are saying."
Aiwass sighed, "When a person lives in a village where trees do not change from birth to thirteen or fourteen years old, how can she realize that trees will grow?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I know trees will grow."
Haina said casually.
But she suddenly froze, covering her head, muttering "No, wait" in a low voice
The common sense in her mind kept changing whether her hometown remained the same. Yes, the tree will grow.
Two completely different common senses rose and fell repeatedly in her mind, making her feel for the first time that the world was so illusory. Her pupils kept overflowing with a faint yellow aura, and then were defeated by the clear blue.
Looking at Haina's fierce reaction, Sherlock looked at Aiwass with some admiration but also some doubts, "When did you find out?"
"Just now "
Aiwass replied, "Because I know very well how close the explosion was to the woods and how powerful it was.
"But after the explosion, there was a trace on the ground." Deep pit. But those trees were unscathed, not even a few branches fell. "
He looked at Haina, who was holding her head and her pupils were shaking violently, and said softly, "So you two actually don't understand what I mean.
“I don’t want to tell Haina that trees will grow up, so the marks you leave will be distorted, and the small tree that year should not look exactly the same as it does now.
"I want to ask, senior, what did you use to leave the marks on the tree?"
