62, Chapter 62(1/2)
Ilsa finally solved Julian's request. Although it was not too troublesome, she was still a little nervous during the negotiation process with Alan.
The reason why Alan agrees to her now is entirely because she is Wendy in his heart. Once he discovers that she is actually the goddess he least believes in, it is estimated that... this matter will not be possible.
In fact, Ilsa also knew very well that along the way, she had exposed many flaws in front of Alan, but Alan never pointed it out and just protected her silently.
Maybe this is his gentleness.
Ilsa felt a little sorry, and secretly reminded herself that next time she saw Silius, she must ask him to give Alan a promotion and a salary increase. It didn't matter whether he was promoted or not, but the salary increase was important.
Ilsa returned to her room and informed Julian of the outcome of the negotiation. Julian had no expression on his face, but Ilsa could still feel that he was relieved.
"Can I go back now?" Julian raised his eyes sadly, with a weak look that reminded Ilsa of a stranded mermaid, "I don't like to stay on land."
Ilsa nodded: "Okay, please do."
After saying that, Ilsa and Magda surrounded him as before, with expressions of anticipation on their faces, as if to say, "You can perform that thing again, just that thing, the one with a splash."
Julian: "..."
He was silent for a while and said, "I can't go back by myself."
Ilsa was surprised: "How could it be so?"
"..." Julian closed his eyes forbearingly, looking like he was about to hit someone, "You took away my divine power."
"!" Ilsa then reacted.
It turned out that after losing his divine power, Julian couldn't even teleport through space. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Then I'll find someone to take you back." Ilsa thought for a while and thought of a candidate who happened to be able to use space magic. She opened the sea of consciousness and called Eddie's name in it. The next second, a man with silver hair and purple eyes appeared.
The exquisite young man appeared in front of Ilsa out of thin air.
As soon as Magda saw him, she whispered in surprise: "She looks like Olivia!"
Eddie smiled: "That's my mother."
Magda was even more surprised: "Olivia actually has a son?"
Ilsa: There are two more.
Eddie didn't answer any more, and didn't seem to have any interest in the other two demigods in the room. He just looked at Ilsa with a smile.
"What's the matter with calling me here? I've been waiting for you."
Ilsa pointed at Julian beside him, "You should be able to do space magic, right? Teleport this guy back to the Sunless Sea."
Eddie glanced at Julian, frowning slightly, with undisguised disgust on his face.
"Huh? It's a man. I thought I was doing something for you."
Ilsa: "You are indeed doing something for me. Come on, come on, show me your skills."
Eddie continued to dislike it: "I don't want to do it."
"..." Ilsa thought thoughtfully, "Then I'll go find Alice."
As soon as he heard the name "Alice", Eddie immediately took her hand.
"Why are you looking for him? He is just a crybaby. He can't do anything except cry. Leave it to me. I will definitely complete this task brilliantly. But..."
Ilsa raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "But what?"
"But I have a small condition." Eddie scanned Ilsa's body inch by inch with extremely naked and erotic eyes, "I miss you very much..."
"I'd better go to Alice." Ilsa turned around and started to leave.
"Hey, don't leave!" Eddie quickly stopped her, "Don't go looking for Iris. At worst, I won't make any conditions."
Ilsa: "That's pretty much it."
She was very satisfied with the fact that Eddie was easy to talk to, and he was not as pitiful as Alice, and would not arouse Ilsa's sympathy and protective desire anytime and anywhere.
Eddie curled his lips and reluctantly walked up to Julian. Julian raised his eyelids slightly and gave Ilsa a cold look.
There was no emotion in that look. When Ilsa looked into those blue eyes, she felt as if she had been immersed in the cold sea water for a moment, and a sense of loss and despondency welled up in her heart.
No, this emotion was not hers, but something she detected from Julian's eyes.
Ilsa suddenly remembered the question that Julian asked her when she first revealed her identity to him.
"Julian, I want to ask you a question." Ilsa stopped him.
Julian said listlessly: "Just ask."
Ilsa touched the pad of the middle finger of her right hand, and her eyes wandered from Julian's face to his legs. This was a habitual action she took as a human in her previous life. Now that she is no longer a human, she still does it when she feels confused.
Touch it occasionally.
"I want to know, what were you doing on the day I gave you divine power?"
Julian looked at her in surprise.
Logically speaking, Ilsa shouldn't not remember such things, because she is the Supreme God, and the Supreme God is omniscient and omnipotent. Even if she really doesn't remember, she won't ask her relatives.
But Ilsa had a vague feeling - Julian knew that she was not the goddess she had been.
"I'm stranded." Julian said after a few seconds of silence.
Ilsa showed a stunned expression: "So it was the goddess who saved you."
"yes."
Julian looked calm and didn't seem to notice that Ilsa said "goddess" this time instead of directly saying "I", or he had already noticed something, so he was not surprised by Ilsa's sudden change of words.
.
"I lay on the shore for a long time, and even my tail was dry." Julian's eyes fell on Ilsa's face, and he felt a little nostalgic, "If it weren't for... you appeared and allowed me to stand up with my transformed legs,
I will definitely die by then."
He paused slightly when he mentioned Ilsa, and his eyelashes fell silently.
Ilsa: "So you are actually very grateful to the goddess?"
"Well, I respect you very much. Not only did you save me, but you also gave me divine power so that I can protect my people."
Hearing this, Ilsa suddenly became serious and said, "Then you are still not willing to repay me??"
Julian was slightly silent.
"...I'm sorry. I must prioritize the safety of my people."
Ilsa looked at him quietly. The reason why the previous goddess chose him to become a demigod was probably because of his intentions.
"Are you okay?" Eddie complained impatiently, "Ilsa, you've been talking to him for too long."
Ilsa sighed slightly.
"It'll be fine soon." She looked at Julian with complicated eyes, as if she was afraid of touching some unknown wound in Julian's heart, and couldn't help but lower her voice, "The last question. Why did you run aground that day?
Woolen cloth?"
Even though he is a sea monster, he has made himself so miserable. There must be some serious reasons and past.
Julian closed his eyes sleepily and said absently:
"Because I fell asleep on the shore."
Ilsa: "..."
Magda: "..."
Julian was safely teleported back to the Sunless Sea by Eddie.
Magda wanted to play with Ilsa for a while longer, but her maid used a white eagle to deliver an urgent letter. Magda read the letter and said helplessly to Ilsa, "Those old men from the Alliance are back again."
There's a quarrel, and I have to go back to start a fight. Ilsa, I'll come back to you tomorrow, my maid still has a lot of specialty desserts that she hasn't made yet!"
Ilsa readily agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After the two parted reluctantly, Ilsa was the only one left in the room.
She looked at the water stains on the floor and was thinking about cleaning it a little when a soft white light suddenly appeared under her feet——
"!This is……"
The alarm in Ilsa's heart rang loudly, and she didn't even have time to summon her divine power. The light swallowed up her figure in an instant. The next second, she appeared intact in a pure white space.
Ilsa blinked in a daze.
So white.
There is a lot of white everywhere, but it is not dazzling. On the contrary, the light is very soft, giving people a feeling of holy light.
It feels...a bit familiar.
Ilsa was confused and slowly raised her eyes.
In front of her, stood a young man with blond hair and white robes. His face was soft and elegant, and there was a faint light floating around him, as dazzling and holy as the sun.
It's Silius. Why did he appear suddenly? And...
Ilsa looked at the young man's serious and even cold expression, and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
To be continued...
