Chapter 210 Sorry Tia, the hypnosis is fake

"Fu——"

In the darkness, the faint light emitted by the burning tobacco is clearly visible.

Waves of white smoke slowly poured out of his mouth. While the nicotine brought calmness, it also slightly soothed the unspeakable irritability in his heart.

Xia, the rising star of the military and the youngest captain officer in history, was sitting in the confinement cell, smoking a cigarette he had received from the prison guard, between his fingers.

In fact, he had never developed the bad habit of smoking, because he was extremely self-disciplined and believed that smoking would destroy a person's will and thus affect the body. In a sense, it was nothing less than the devil's ravings.

However, recently troubles have come one after another, and I am filled with sorrow.

As a last resort, I can only try the method my comrades mentioned.

According to the original itinerary, Xia should have returned to the Saint Falos Fortress after returning to the imperial capital to receive the investiture ceremony from Saint Laurent VI.

But the reality is not so.

First, at the occasion where he should have been the protagonist, that is, the awarding ceremony, a down-and-out noble boy suddenly appeared and overshadowed him with his arrogance, and even deprived him of the glory that should have belonged to him - until now, the awarding ceremony has not been held, and the military has simply awarded him the medal of Saint Laurent VI on his behalf.

That's fine, after all, for Xia, this kind of occasion doesn't matter.

He prefers fighting and the thrill of teetering on the edge of life and death again and again.

Other than that, all you have to do is protect the people around you.

Xia was born in a small village on the border. On the day he was born, his parents and sister were killed in the invasion of demons, leaving him as an infant. He was taken away by a hunter and raised.

With such a life experience, he cares more about the people close to him than ordinary people.

Women, brothers, comrades-in-arms. Although he is a bit stubborn and doesn't bother with those he doesn't like, this is Xia's life creed.

But now, his most important creed was also broken.

His woman, Tia, actually eloped in public with a strange man whom he had only known for a short time.

This may sound a bit harsh.

But apart from this possibility, he couldn't think of any explanation.

Recalling the first time they met, the young man described Tia's unique physical characteristics without hesitation and mentioned with certainty that they had a past together. This feeling made him very frightened.

Tia, who should have been under his control and well protected, seemed to have some secrets that he didn't know.

Combined with a series of strange behaviors that happened to her later, Xia felt that things seemed to be out of his control.

For a willful person like him, once things get out of control, the calmness and composure he used to show will completely disappear, replaced by impatience and anxiety.

Therefore, when Xia refused the return order for the fourth time and decided to stay in the imperial capital to continue searching for Tia, this move undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the military.

However, he had just killed a fifth-order demon at the border, which was a model that the military had just set up. Even if he was to be punished, it would not be now.

But what happened next made everything completely out of control.

One day after finishing the manhunt, Xia dragged his tired body back to the military headquarters for dinner, and met a nobleman who came to the military headquarters to gild himself in the restaurant.

This person had been at odds with him for a long time, so they often had quarrels.

Shea, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, had no interest in arguing with him.

It was obvious that he was so boring that all the dirty words in the other person's mouth came out at once.

And when Xia heard the word "green-haired turtle", the anger and rage that had been accumulating for days was instantly ignited.

When he came to his senses, the other party had been beaten black and blue, with broken bones, and was like a dead dog, with only breath in but no breath out.

As the first to take action, coupled with the pressure from the noble boy's family, Xia was undoubtedly locked up in the confinement room.

Being unable to continue looking for his woman made Xia, who was already on the verge of collapse, even more desperate.

"Damn it"

He coughed slightly, put out the cigarette in his hand, and then cursed.

How long will he stay in this hellhole? At this moment, Xia couldn't help but feel murderous. He wanted to find that damn guy immediately and settle everything.

If I had known that we were in the interrogation room, I should have found an opportunity to kill him.

Shia clenched her fists tightly.

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

Just when he was full of resentment, the tightly closed door of the confinement room was suddenly opened.

The blinding white light shone in through the main door, causing Xia, who had been immersed in darkness for several days, to squint.

A tall young woman walked in slowly, surrounded by several high-ranking military officers with respectful expressions.

"Your Highness?!"

After seeing the other person's identity, Xia opened his mouth in surprise.

However, when she smelled the strong smell of cigarettes in the room and noticed Xia's unshaven and extremely decadent appearance, Princess Hillelina couldn't help but frown, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to rescue you."

Her voice suddenly became very cold, as if filled with unhappiness.

Hearing this, Xia gritted his teeth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only slowly lower his head.

If he regarded Tia as his destined partner, then the eldest princess, Hillelina, was more like a goddess high above him.

Even so, she is the woman he is determined to win in his life.

Whether it was the several hints before, or the other party's vague intention to get close to him, he could feel that His Highness actually had a good impression of him.

However, this goodwill is still in its infancy, and it requires an unprecedented profound event to erupt in order for both sides to make rapid progress.

But right now, Xia knew that he was in a low point, so he could only lower his head silently.

However, before he could think of what to say, a document was suddenly thrown into his arms.

"Not long ago, the military received a confidential document from the Church of Silence." After all, Hilina didn't have the heart to say anything to him, so she had to slow down her tone. "We already have clues about Tia's whereabouts, and we are currently organizing reliable and powerful personnel to rescue her."

"Also, as a woman, I'll defend her. Judging from the contents of the secret document, she was kidnapped by that guy, not the mastermind. She never succumbed to evil from the beginning to the end."

"bass!"

Xia stood up from the bed in an instant, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

"What did you say?!"

It was already evening when Graya returned to the Bartleron mansion.

He let the maid help him take off his coat, and then walked quickly towards the meeting room.

At this moment, the whole room was brightly lit.

The moment he stepped into the room, an inexplicable sense of disobedience came over him.

Everyone was sitting in their respective seats, with their heads down in silence. When they heard the voice, they all looked towards Graya.

Graya was a little confused.

Usually in such occasions, he would just play the sidelines or secretly have a fight with Lynn. Few people would take him, the second son of the Augusta family, seriously.

But things are different now.

From the moment he entered the room, Graya felt an unprecedented sense of disharmony.

"Where did you go today?"

The first to ask the question was his brother Rhine.

The other person's eyes looked a little gloomy at the moment, staring at him intently, as if trying to see through this boy's heart.

Was he exposed? Graya's heart tightened instantly.

However, thinking back to the solemn expression on Lin En's face when he was leaving, as if he was about to do something big, he took a deep breath.

As a brother, it's ok if I can't help, but at least I should not be a drag.

Don't worry, I will never betray you even if I die.

Thinking of this, Graya said solemnly: "Today I..."

"Where is he?!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of high heels hitting the ground behind him, followed by a cold murderous intent that seemed to destroy everything.

Without even turning around, Graya's trembling legs told him who was behind him.

The worry and resentment that were almost turning into reality, and the strong emotions that were so heavy that even bystanders could feel suppressed.

Those who can resist kneeling down are all gods.

"North, North District."

Although I wanted to resist, the answer came from my throat first.

The next second, the strong sense of oppression behind her instantly dissipated, and Iviste's figure disappeared abruptly from the spot.

Looking at the people who lowered their heads and acted like quails, Graya wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I lasted 0.13 seconds in front of His Highness, which has surpassed 99.99% of the existence in this world. I am really amazing.

Graya thought silently, seeming to have forgotten the so-called brotherhood just now.

"By the way, the solitary cell in the basement of the manor seems to have been completed."

In the conference room, someone suddenly spoke.

Oh shit.

I almost forgot about this.

Take care, bro, and don't get caught.

Thinking of this, Graya silently mourned for someone in his heart.

“Crack—”

Tia gently pushed open the door of the hotel room, took off her scarf and women's hat, and hung them on the hanger at the door.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

At the same time, he casually removed the disguise effect of the seal.

With a faint glow, an elf girl with skin as delicate and flawless as white porcelain appeared in front of him. She combed her slightly curly brown hair, took off her boots, and walked barefoot into the room.

It hurts so much.

When she walked, her shoulder was slightly touched, and the knife wound infected by the curse suddenly felt extremely painful, causing her eyes to slightly frown.

"You're back?"

Lying on the bed in the room, the young man closed the book in his hand, looked at Tia from a distance, and smiled.

"Um."

Tia was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say to start the conversation, so she just nodded.

It's a strange feeling.

Just like what is described in the book, when the husband returns home after a hard day's work and sees his wife's smile, he feels that all the fatigue of the day is healed.

But the situation was somewhat opposite. She was the husband, and Lin En, who was lying on the bed, became the wife. No, what was I thinking about? Tia's face was slightly flushed. Fortunately, the lights were not on in the room, and only the flames in the fireplace were jumping gently.

"I have something to do"

"Tia, I."

After a moment's silence, they both spoke at the same time, and then were stunned at the same time.

"Forget it, you go ahead and talk first."

Lin En was the first to come to her senses. She pursed her lips and indicated that ladies were given first.

Hearing this, Tia did not act pretentiously. She just suppressed the inexplicable sense of disobedience in her heart and took out the bottle of moonlight liquid that carried her body temperature from her pocket: "Take it."

Lynn took the bottle in surprise.

After confirming that it contained a god-level medicine that could heal all injuries, he was a little surprised.

He knew how scarce this thing was, and he was also well aware that he had just used up Tia's share in the interrogation room not long ago, and she had not yet had time to replenish her stock.

It goes without saying how difficult it is to get this thing if you don't go through formal channels.

For a moment, Lin En's expression became a little dazed, and his lips moved for a while, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Tia did not give him this opportunity and immediately took out another map.

"I have found a way out. It's on this map." Tia sat sideways on the bed, slightly closer to Lin En, and patiently explained to him, "This is a mansion of the Cortes family. There is a secret passage dug by their ancestors inside, which leads directly to the small town of Xilin hundreds of miles away. You can start from here, and then..."

"And you?"

For some reason, even though there was a way to escape the imperial capital right in front of him, the guy in front of him did not show the excitement and excitement that he had imagined.

Not only that, he also inexplicably asked a thought-provoking question.

Of course I am Tia. Just as she was about to answer "return to the Church of Silence", she suddenly stopped for some reason.

If you think about it, what good will it do to go back to church?

Are you really mentally prepared to face the nuns and everyone else?

What's more, Tia had no idea what expression she should have towards Brother Xia.

Before, I could devote all my energy to rescuing Lynn.

But now that things are coming to an end, some problems that she is reluctant to mention but objectively exist have to be put on the table again.

After a long silence, Tia sat up straight and then looked away with a somewhat detached gaze: "What do you want me to do?"

Her voice sounded nervous and flustered, but there was also a hint of inexplicable anticipation.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Tia's heart gradually grew colder.

The answer revealed by silence is naturally self-evident.

At the same time, she felt an extremely strong stinging pain in her shoulder again, which made her dizzy and extremely weak.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

I didn't know what expression I had on my face at the moment. Anyway, Tia stumbled to her feet, walked away, and then gently closed the bathroom door.

Looking at her pale face in the mirror, Tia slightly took off the clothes on her shoulders, revealing the knife wound wrapped in bandages.

On the shoulder, which should have been white and flawless, there was now a knife wound as long as an index finger, so deep that the bone was almost visible. It was faintly purple and exuded an evil and corrupt smell.

The purple color not only appeared on the wound, but also spread around her fair skin.

It had only been a short while, but it had already spread to an area the size of a palm.

If we delay any further, my life might be in danger!

However, things had come to this point, and Tia was not going to show her wound to Lin En in a pitiful manner. She just endured it silently in her heart and slowly pulled her clothes back on.

After doing all this, she slowly turned around, but was startled by a figure that appeared behind her.

At this moment, Lin En stared at the part of her shoulder covered by clothes with a complicated expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Tia suddenly felt guilty and uncomfortable, so she had to look away again: "I'm fine, you can go out."

“How can it be okay?” Lin En suddenly interrupted her and handed over the bottle of Moonlight Liquid. “Compared to me, you are the one who needs it more right now.”

As he said this, he tried to take Tia's hand and return the potion to the girl in front of him.

However, Tia was a little anxious.

Compared to herself, when she first saw the wounds on Lin En's body that looked like a punishment from the law of cause and effect, she almost covered her mouth and cried. It was hard to imagine how much pain this guy endured every day.

This matter had been weighing on her heart for a long time until she found this bottle of moonlight essence, which finally gave her some relief.

After all, he was injured so badly in order to save her.

Even if I don't consider anything else, I should repay this favor.

But now, due to the knife wound and curse on her shoulder, plus the fierce battle not long ago, Tia is extremely weak.

So she didn't want to waste her time on such things and had to use her last resort.

Once you get used to it, you become more and more dependent on it.

Under Lin En's gaze, Tia slowly lifted up her skirt, revealing the mark of the Mind's Eye at the base of her thigh to him.

"Be good, drink the medicine quickly."

Looking at Lin En who was standing there silently, Tia was not angry, but just urged him softly.

I thought that it would be the same as the past few times, where I would see the young man dumbly following my orders and taking the moonlight liquid obediently.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared before my eyes.

What greeted Tia was not Lin En's obedient submission, but a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Don't move."

An invisible wave of power swept through her body, and like a magical power, it instantly imprisoned her body.

"you"

In an instant, a terrifying and absurd feeling came over her heart, causing Tia's emerald green eyes to shrink slightly.

"Two things." The boy's words were very gentle, but for some reason, they carried a hint of bloody cruelty. "First, I want to say sorry to you."

"Tia, hypnosis is fake."

(ps: The big one is coming!!!)
