The underground river flows quietly, but the city is gradually becoming lively. Since there is no distinction between day and night, there are people from all time zones in the city, and some people may just get off work.
"So, you are a princess who escaped from the palace and wanted to save your sister in the tower. Your wish is to cancel the List of the Undestined?"
On the bench beside the river, Ash listened to Liz's confession and made a summary after careful consideration.
"Yes!" Liz nodded heavily: "Sister doesn't want to be the first gospel either. As long as you take me to see her, let me touch her and then leave the tower together, she will definitely not become the first gospel. You don't need to assassinate her at all!"
"Hmm..." Ash stared at Liz: "You are actually a princess..."
"What's wrong, doesn't it look like that?"
"Nothing, I just feel a strange sense of accomplishment when I think about the princess calling me daddy...why don't you call me daddy?"
The white-haired little girl opened her mouth, turned her head away and snorted, "Damn Ash!"
The person inside her now is not Liz, but Diya, how can she possibly shout out!
After discussing with her sisters, Diya decided to reveal most of her secrets, but still concealed the details of her multiple personalities, her body becoming smaller, and that she was originally the First Gospel. Because it was too troublesome to explain why her body became smaller, the trial of the bronze dragon, the identity of the First Gospel, and the armor becoming a saint... and these details had nothing to do with the assassination. Even if Diya confessed that she was the original First Gospel, Ash and the others would still assassinate the princess.
The most important thing is that Diya doesn't want to meet Ash in this "body".
Just like an anonymous chat, Ash used to take care of her as a little girl, but now she suddenly confessed that she was actually a girl who was almost 20 years old. This exposure made people panic.
What if he hates me? What if he thinks I was lying to him on purpose? What if... That feeling of liking me, mixed with uneasiness, receded and then rose again, rising and falling over and over again.
The White Queen also raised a crucial point: the most terrifying thing is not that Ash is angry, but that Ash recognizes their existence. If he recognizes Liz = Diya = White Queen = Black Butler = Red Dead = daughter, then it will be completely over.
An established relationship is like a mirror: it can either turn yellow and become dusty, break into pieces, or remain the same.
Ash's daughter is Liz, and only Liz.
They don't want to be Ash's daughters forever.
Therefore, she would have to wait until the weaving ceremony was over, the trial of the bronze dragon was over, and she would have to recover her original form before she could muster up the courage to recognize him.
【Hello, I am Lisdiya. 】
When Diya thought of that scene, her heart was filled with hope, and every cell in her body wanted to jump with excitement.
Moreover, this concealment can also weaken their relationship with Nina, and they don't even say that the reason why Diya wants to save Nina so much is due to her strong sense of guilt, making their rescue seem not so... necessary.
In other words, let Ash mistakenly believe that Nina is not that important to her, reducing the possibility of Ash agreeing.
Because they did not convince Liz, instead, they were convinced by Liz.
Diya is unwilling to give up the chance to save Nina, but she is even more unwilling to see Ash die because of this. However, with such a tangled contradiction, she can only hand in such an answer sheet full of mistakes and omissions, waiting for Ash to correct it.
This is undoubtedly a shameless act. If you can't make up your mind, you can only ask others to help you make a decision. In this regard, Diya feels that she is no different from Liz, and she is still a child who depends on adults.
If Ash feels that this will increase the difficulty and still insists on the original assassination plan, assassinating Nina personally to ensure Annan's victory, then Diya may be disappointed and sad, but she will also be happy to increase Ash's survival rate.
"Then," the white-haired little girl asked nervously, "Ash, what do you think...?"
"no problem."
"Or rather, it's really great." Ash smiled and said, "If I were to kill a girl who lived in a high tower, I don't know how many times I would have to seek psychological treatment from Igula to soothe the guilt in my heart. Liz, thank you for giving me a second choice."
Ash agreed so readily that she felt it was a little unreal: "Don't you think it will be more difficult?"
"Actually, I just need to take you with me. It will increase the difficulty a little, but not much. And you might be able to help me in the operation... But you are too weak and don't have any ability to protect yourself."
Ash looked at Liz and said, "It may be better than nothing... but I can make you a magician. At least you will have an extra magic spirit to help you."
Liz was startled: "Let me become a magician?"
"That's right." Ash said with a grin, "I recently had an adventure in the Time Continent, and had a "gift" miracle of [transferring one of my magic spirits to anyone]. Since you are not a magician, you may not understand the value of this miracle..."
Of course Diya understands.
In other words, anyone who is a magician or wants to be a magician will understand the power of this miracle!
At first glance, "giving away" is just transferring a magic spirit. How is it different from buying and selling magic spirits? And it can only be transferred from oneself to others. If it is replaced by taking a magic spirit from others, it is almost the same.
Between magicians, "giving gifts" really has no meaning, but when it comes to magicians and ordinary people, the significance of "giving gifts" is simply immeasurable. If Ash is willing to auction this opportunity, he will become a rich man in an instant, and countless people will rush to give him money!
Because mortals cannot possess any magical spirits, and controlling any magical spirits requires magical power, but magical power can only be obtained by entering the virtual realm. For mortals, this is a dead end of 'fresh graduates need to have three years of work experience'.
Therefore, no matter you are a poor country girl or a rich young master, the first step to becoming a magician is to hone your skills day and night and summon your first magic spirit from scratch before you can open the door to the virtual world.
The value of the "gift" miracle is thus reflected - although only the original magic spirit summoned by oneself can open the door of truth, the secondary magic spirit given by Ash cannot allow people to enter the virtual realm, but the point is that with the magic spirit, anyone can improve their skills in turn, just like solving a problem with the answer. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to enter the silver realm!
And this "gift" miracle is the reward for Ash after surviving the "no toilet paper when pooping" curse.
They bought a blessing and a curse from the Chaotic Shopping Book. The blessing was "a sense of mortal danger", and the price was that they had to look at each other. Ash bought the curse "no toilet paper" alone. Although he didn't gain any insights into the factions of fate from that unlucky time, he still got a consolation prize.
At first, Ash also mistakenly thought that "gift" was some rubbish, but when he opened the Gospel and looked it up, he discovered that "gift" actually had such great potential.
But things have to be used. Originally, Ash planned to save this reward for the future as a gift for Igula's daughter, and choose a super invincible magic spirit to give to Leia, but if Liz wants to enter the palace with him, then he naturally has to arm Liz first.
So what does Diya think?
Of course she couldn't accept it!
She is a sorcerer herself, but she cannot use her magic spirit in reality because of the trial of the bronze dragon. Even if Ash gave her the magic spirit, she would not use it. Instead, it would expose more of her secrets!
Therefore, Liz quickly shook her head and refused, and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, although you agreed, Ash, Annan must insist on letting Banji leave, right? As a reason for Banji to leave, I must leave too... Do you have a way to persuade Annan?"
"It's Uncle Panji and Sister An Nan." Ash slapped Liz on the head and said, "Forget about calling me by my name. Be polite to others."
He paused and said, "As for this problem, don't worry. It has been solved. An Nan will not let Pan Ji leave."
"Solved?" Liz was startled: "How did you solve it?"
“The gospel helps us solve it.”
Liz blinked, then realized something, called out her Gospel, and flipped to the bookmarked page.
Because the latest list came at the wrong time or just the right time, Little Liz took the opportunity to abduct Ash, so they have not seen the contents of the latest future list until now.
