Chapter 20 Part 1(1/2)

Savina's voice made me feel inexplicably excited, but when I turned around, I found her figure.

I calmed down for a while and looked at the environment. This was a very tall palace hall. The few white beams inside the hall were quite similar to the ancient Greek style of the Parthenon, but the overall interior was

The decoration is very casual, especially there is a very simple but valuable long table behind me and several empty seats that do not match the table very well. There are even some unfamiliar flowers placed on the table.

The whole hall doesn't feel too sacred at all, but more like a warm living room.

The seat where Severna spoke just now was a very familiar empty seat. I took a closer look and found that it was the same crystal chair when we first met, and also at this time, there was no figure of Severna on the chair.

, on the contrary, there were two strange women standing on both sides of the chair.

The woman on the left is a smiling lady. She looks very holy. She has long, slightly wavy hair and a soft expression. She is wearing a white robe and holding a slate in her hand. This picture

Her appearance reminded me of some mythical characters, but the lady on the right was completely opposite. She was dressed in a dark robe and her long black hair that almost fell to the ground.

The indescribable pressure, especially her expressionless and motionless look, made me almost think it was a statue.

"Come and sit down."

Just as I was observing the two of them, Severna's voice came from the crystal chair. I seemed to be used to her opening. Although I was quite concerned about the two ladies, I still walked to the table with some restraint.

I found an empty seat. However, after I sat down, Severna stopped talking. I was a little at a loss and could only sit there blankly and continue to observe the surroundings blankly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but it didn't last long. I cleared my throat softly because I was thirsty, and then the white lady waved to the side of the hall, and then someone who clearly looked like a maid came out.

The person walked up to me carrying a silver plate. She carefully poured me a cup of golden drink and then quietly stepped aside. I picked up the cup, smelled the flavor in the cup and then took a sip, from the tip of my tongue.

The sweet and delicate taste suggested that this was probably honey water or something like that, because after I finished drinking it, I could vaguely feel a fresh floral aroma.

But before I could savor the taste carefully, Savina finally spoke again.

"What were you doing just now?"

"Huh? Uh...you mean...?"

"Just now, you were talking nonsense down there for a long time, and you were still calling my name."

"Oh...Sorry, I just wanted to lighten the mood...so..."

"Really...I thought you missed me..."

Severna sounded a little disappointed, which made me even more confused.

"By the way, I want to apologize to you first. I was delayed by some accidents before my return, so I arranged for my subordinates to help you move. Are you satisfied?"

"Well, I'm satisfied. But... what's going on with the new stuff in the arsenal? And it doesn't look like it's finished yet."

"Oh? Those things were all used by you before, so I restored them for you to use as you wish. But... it's not finished? Hex, what's going on?"

Severna's last tone suddenly became serious, and then the black lady on the right turned to the seat, lowered her head and spoke a few words in an unfamiliar language. Although I didn't understand the language, I instantly heard from her.

I learned from the accent that the sentence I heard before seemed to be spoken by this lady, but now I can't understand the meaning in my mind like before.

"I see. Erica, your arsenal will still take some time to complete, but the temporary exit has also been built. You can use it as you like after you return."

"Thank you very much. So... why did you come to see me?"

"Of course, I need you to do me a favor."

Severna's words almost scared me. She, a god, would actually need me to help her?

"Help...help with what?"

Severna didn't speak, but the white lady on the left suddenly took out a transparent crystal ball out of thin air. Then she let go of her hand and let the crystal ball slowly float in front of me and fall into my hand. I weighed it curiously.

I looked at this strange-looking crystal ball for a while. Although there was nothing wrong with it from the outside, when I got it in my hand I found that it was much lighter than I thought.

It feels like this palm-sized crystal ball is probably about the same weight as a cigarette, so this thing definitely cannot be made of ordinary crystal or glass and resin materials, and I have no idea what it is.

thing.

"I'll ask them to take you home later. When you go back, just find a suitable room and put the beacon in it."

"Beacon?"

"Yes."

"what for?"

“Something that gets me home quickly.”

"Oh...wait, let me go home?"

"No way?"

After hearing my question, Severna seemed to be more surprised than I was. It felt like she didn't think I would refuse from the beginning. Of course, I didn't refuse, I just couldn't figure out why.

"You want...to come to my house?"

"Strictly speaking, it's my house. Can't I, the 'landlord,' go over and have a look?"

"sure……"

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I don't think there is any problem...it's just...Diana..."

"Oh, don't worry, I don't care about your personal life, and I won't hinder you and your girlfriend... I just go over to see you occasionally."

"All right……"

"That's good, I'll be waiting for your news here."

"...Sevena?"

"The master is no longer here." The white lady on the side suddenly came over.

"Uh...please ask..."

"My name is Desmo." The white lady introduced herself with a smile, then pointed to the black lady who was slowly approaching and said, "She is Hex, and like me, she is the master's slave."

"Hello, Desmo...goddess...?"

I don’t understand the specific meaning of Congshen, but at least this title also contains the concept of “god”. Maybe Congshen means Severna’s subordinates. I stood up nervously and said hello to them.

But I subconsciously extended my right hand to Desmo and planned to shake her hand. But when I extended my hand, I realized that this way of saying hello seemed strange, so I planned to put my hand down halfway. But still

Desmo grabbed my right hand before I could retract my hand. She seemed to be very open-minded.

"Hello, Miss Erica. Don't be so nervous. You can just call me by my name. Of course, the same goes for Hex."

Desmo held his hand for about 5 seconds before letting go. This unexpected sense of intimacy made me relax a lot, so I planned to try it with another lady named Hex. But unfortunately, the other woman

She still kept a straight face and kept a distance from me, so this time I had to give up and nodded to her symbolically. But the other party didn't respond at all, and still stood near me with a cold face. It was so embarrassing.

The atmosphere made me uncomfortable, but Desmo suddenly came over to explain to me.

"Don't mind, she's just a little nervous, because it's our first time talking to you face to face, so she's a little shy."

Nervous? Shy? You can't believe it. This goddess is nervous when I meet you for the first time. Desmo, even if you want to smooth things over, you have to find a suitable reason. This kind of lie can only fool children under 10 years old.

It's a child, I wouldn't believe it anyway.

"Shall we leave now?" Desmo stood next to me and asked.

"Uh...where to go?"

"Go to your house and place the beacon." Desmo pointed to the crystal ball on my left hand and continued: "The master is waiting for you to place the beacon in the distance, so hurry up."

"Oh well."

When I agreed, Desmo actually walked aside, and then Hex came over and raised his hand as if he wanted to use some magic on me. I suddenly panicked, because I realized that I wanted to go home with me.

It was not the kind-faced goddess Desmo who was standing next to her, but the cold-faced Hex next to her.

"Wait... wait!" I took a step back hastily.

"What's the matter?" After Hex saw my reaction, he silently put his hand down and asked expressionlessly.

I sighed in my heart for this Hex goddess. Her tone just now and her image were a perfect combination of coldness and coldness. This made me even nervously glance at Desmo not far away and asked: "No...

…Aren’t you going back with me?”

"Sorry, I also wanted to be a guest, but I have other tasks that require me to look after the house here. Hex will be responsible for sending you back."

"Do you have any more questions?" Hex suddenly asked after Desmo finished speaking.

"No...no." Her sense of oppression was like a boss lecturing someone, and it was like a pain in the throat. When she raised her hand again, I suddenly thought of what I just wanted to say, so I spoke again:

"Please wait!"

"……explain."

"Can you please let me go back to where I came from first?"

"reason."

"My companion is still there. She doesn't know what happened to me yet. Can I go say hello to her?"

"no."

Ah, this woman... the tone of the goddess is really irritating. When she decisively refused, I suddenly felt very angry. But before I could protest, Desmo suddenly came over and argued with her for a while.

, finally seemed to be persuaded, and Hex nodded reluctantly.
To be continued...
