The next day, Ilsa was awakened by a knock on the door.

She didn't sleep very well the night before, so she was very angry now. She opened the door with messy hair and saw Lester standing outside the door, with Constantine and Seguin standing next to him.

both sides of.

"Good morning." Lester smiled casually.

Not good at all.

Although Ilsa wanted to answer this way, when she saw Lester's face, she thought about it and held back her anger.

"So it's you guys. Come in." She rubbed her groggy eyes and turned sideways to make way for them.

Led by Lester, the three of them walked in very naturally. When the clergymen guarding the outside saw Ilsa trusting them so much, their eyes flashed with envy.

What a privilege it is to be able to always be by the goddess's side!

Ilsa didn't know what these people were thinking. She walked to the door and asked them coldly, "Where is Silius?"

"..." The priests immediately replied, "Sir Silius has personally gone to handle the transfer of the Knights. He asked us to take good care of you."

Ilsa raised her eyelids and said listlessly, "Really... thank him for his kindness for me, but I have my own apostle and I don't need you to take care of me. Please step aside."

"This..." The priests looked at each other, wondering whether they should leave.

"Huh?" Ilsa raised her eyebrows slightly and let out a soft hum of unknown meaning.

"...Yes!!" The priests were so frightened that their hairs stood on end. They quickly bowed and saluted, and flew away from Ilsa's sight.

After the obstructionist disappeared, Ilsa returned to the room and added a soundproofing spell that was difficult to break through.

"How did you sleep last night? Did you feel anything unusual?" She looked at the three people in front of her, put one hand on her hips, and asked directly.

"I slept well, but it looks like... you didn't sleep very well." Lester looked at her with a half-smile, his casual tone seemed to be laced with a hint of deep meaning.

Ilsa subconsciously touched her nose, which was a sign of her guilty conscience.

"...That's because a cat kept barking outside my window last night."

"Hmm..." Lester nodded as if he understood, and answered the words lightly, "Maybe he's cheating, right? He's such a disobedient kitten."

Ilsa: "..."

I always feel like this person means something.

She wrinkled her nose in annoyance, walked to the chair in a disguised manner and sat down. Seguin walked up to Ilsa obediently, holding the little black cat in his arms, and said to her in a voice so calm that there was no fluctuation, "Master, last night

Xiao Hei and I went to the saint's chamber to investigate."

Blackie? Does he mean Lester’s cat?

Ilsa looked up at Lester, who shrugged helplessly and said, "He came up with the name on his own initiative, and I didn't agree with it."

"..."

Ilsa wanted to laugh a little. Her avatar was named "Little Black", but she couldn't do anything about it. This kind of Lester was really pitiful and funny.

Ilsa raised her hand, covering the smile on her lips calmly, and then encouraged Seguin to continue speaking in a persuasive tone.

"How's it going? Did you and Xiao...Xiao Hei discover anything?"

After saying that, she even stole a glance at Lester.

Lester looked even more helpless.

"A little bit." Segan replied seriously, "We found the remaining breath of the abyss in that place."

"Abyss?" Ilsa frowned, her expression instantly becoming serious.

"Well, it's very weak. Xiao Hei discovered it first." Segan stroked the black cat's back hair, and the sparse cat hair suddenly floated into the air like snowflakes. "Xiao Hei has been smelling it in the gaps in the floor tiles.

Go, I'll go over and smell it."

Ilsa: "Then you discovered the breath of the abyss?"

Segan nodded: "It smells of monsters."

Ilsa didn't speak, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

This is consistent with the information provided by Silius, but the strange thing is that the monster actually exists in the saint's chamber.

She has never been very sensitive to monsters in the abyss, but Silius is different. If Silius can confirm that Segan has turned into a monster at the first sight, then he must also be able to detect the Saint.

There are monsters in the bedroom.

But he didn't. In other words, he didn't discover it in time, which led to the destruction of the saint.

The question is, would a cautious person like Silius not be able to discover it?

Ilsa then turned her gaze to Lester aside: "Is this the interesting thing you said before?"

Lester shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Who knows."

Ilsa: "..."

Why is it so weird?

She gave up asking Lester and turned to look at Constantine, who had been silent. Constantine's expression was a little more serious than usual, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"You also made an unexpected discovery?" Ilsa raised her eyebrows.

Constantine sat carelessly on the edge of the bed, one leg propped up on the white sheets, without any intention of being polite. He rested his elbows on his bent knees, held his chin and looked straight at Yi

Erza, there was a rare coldness in her golden eyes.

"Ilsa, the temple is more heavily guarded than before."

really……

Ilsa smiled: "I guess they will say that this is to strengthen my protection."

"The intention of this group of people seems to be more than just this." Constantine showed rare intelligence and sharpness.

Ilsa couldn't help but praise him: "Constantine, you performed well this time."

When Constantine heard this, his face turned red unexpectedly. Fortunately, his skin color was dark enough that you couldn't even notice it unless you looked carefully.

"I've always performed very well, but you didn't notice..." He complained dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I will pay more attention to you in the future."

Ilsa comforted her very skillfully, with a hint of perfunctoryness. Even so, Constantine still felt a little secretly happy.

"...You'd better be like this." He turned away and muttered softly.

Ilsa slowly rubbed her chin, feeling that she couldn't go on like this.

Looking at the current posture, Silius made it clear that he did not intend to let them go. Although the combat power of these people on his side was very high, behind Silius was an entire temple, so many temples.

Knights and high-level mage, Ilsa really didn't dare to take action rashly.

How about calling the other six demigods over to help her? With her here, they probably won't turn towards Silius, but now their divine power has been taken back by her, and judging from their current combat effectiveness, it probably won't change.

What……

Ilsa began to regret her decision last night.

It was she who underestimated Silius and did not expect that her goal was not achieved, but instead she frightened the snake.

"...Hey." Ilsa sighed softly and stood up from her seat.

"I have to see Sirius," she said.

Ilsa walked into the hall where the statue of the god stood, and saw Silius standing upright in front of him as usual, waiting for her quietly with his eyes lowered.

Ilsa walked slowly in front of him, raised her face slightly and looked at him, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No." He shook his head, raised his eyelashes, and revealed his crystal clear eyes, "Because it's you I want to see, so I can wait as long as I want."

Ilsa moved her eyes slightly but said nothing.

He was always good at saying these words to her in an extremely sincere tone, making it difficult for people to guess what he really meant.

And the fact that they had such a quarrel last night should be regarded as a quarrel, right? But Silius looked as if nothing happened, which made Ilsa even think that everything last night was just her imagination.

This feeling that only she remembers is really bad, as if she has lost the initiative.

There was an inexplicable dissatisfaction welling up in Ilsa's heart for no reason.

Silius didn't know what Ilsa was thinking at this time. His eyes kept sinking slightly and fell firmly on Ilsa's lips. As if he thought of something, the tips of his ears suddenly turned slightly red.

, and then rolled his Adam's apple unconsciously.

"Silius, you..." Ilsa was about to mention what happened last night, but suddenly noticed that he looked slightly abnormal, "What's wrong with you?"

The tips of Sirius's ears turned redder. He quickly looked away and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

"Really?" Ilsa stared at his face suspiciously, "But your eyes are a little blue? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Sirius's eyelashes trembled slightly and his gaze moved further.

"It's nothing, it's just...just a dream." He whispered.

——After Ilsa left.
