“…… This proves that you can see it, Professor, and I mean it. ”

Stuck by Su Day's direct answer, Yelena's voice was like gritting her teeth.

But then, she furrowed her brows slightly, and said very sincerely: "The Light Chaser Order must be strange this time, in my mission plan, I didn't plan to invite them over at all, otherwise I wouldn't have called the professor - but Master Suiguang is like an unpredictable prophet, he used some excuse to travel with me, and after knowing my mission, he said that he could help repair and repair, and then took the initiative to ask to join the exploration team." ”

"It is impossible for a normal person to refuse such generous conditions, and it is suspicious to refuse strongly, not to mention that it is indeed a good thing to have an alchemy master, but now that I think about it carefully, Master Suiguang must have known our plan a long time ago and is ready to enter the ruins with us in the name of justice."

At this point, the female knight's expression became cold.

She stretched out her hand, thumbs back, pointing at the camp—to be precise, at the iron coffin in the center of the camp—and sneered rather sarcastically, "And his purpose is the ancestral girl in the iron coffin—even deeper than we thought!" ”

"And you probably see that, right? There is a problem with the demonic tranquilizer he injected into Adama, no tranquilizer can work so quickly, and your apprentice is also a demonic patient, and you are also an alchemist, so naturally you know best. ”

Yelena's words were sincere and urgent, and she wasn't lying.

When Gasha first entered the orphanage, he needed to take potions to stabilize the spread of demonization.

Caring for a young demonizer was a memorable time for Svetley, even if it was missing.

Su Sun knew very well that the tranquilizer against demonic madness needed to merge with the body, and it would take at least an hour before it could gradually feed back to the 'soul'.

The Elixir that Master Suiguang calmed Adama almost instantaneously, or it was an epoch-making new tranquilizer - the kind that worked instantly, had no side effects, and could restore normal to demonized patients in a state of madness.

Otherwise, it's the liquefied 'soul essentia'. To put it simply, it is a large amount of pure soul condensation.

Of course the former is impossible, with that thing, the Light Chaser Order has long become the supreme leader of all demonic beings, what Asmodean Empire is simply a chicken: there are many people, they are separated from the entire empire, and the demonized patients who are all transcendent can join forces to raise the emperor's twelve armored janissaries and twenty-eight armies in three days.

And the latter is just drinking to quench your thirst. Instantly injecting a large amount of Soul Essentia can indeed temporarily restore the soul of the Filthy Demon to normal, but after a period of time, when these Soul Essentia are also contaminated, then the Demon Diver will die from too violent burning.

And...... Before dying, the demonizer will burst out with incredible power far beyond his current realm.

This is completely in conflict with what Master Suiguang said that he would send Adama to the Order of Light for recuperation in the future.

"We need to join forces, Professor, Master Suiguang has repeatedly stopped Harder from slaying Adama, apparently in order to use him as a knife and use the last of the demonic man's crazy time to kill us."

After seeing Su Day's thoughtful expression, Yelena felt that the chips were enough, and the reasons were also very sufficient.

She smiled and stretched out her hand to the white-haired old man, "He has other plans, he is powerful, and he has malicious intentions - the Light Chaser Order is the most enthusiastic about exploring the relics of their ancestors, not to mention that they are no longer the Light Chaser and his followers group four hundred years ago. ”

"In order to guarantee the superiority of technology and the monopoly of secrecy, these alchemists will do anything."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, he didn't stretch out his hand, but nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and then said softly: "Okay-but Lady Yelena, even if Master Suiguang really intends to wipe us out, will you allow me to live?" ”

"Let's not talk about the fact that I'm just a small professor of ancient civilization, a third-rate alchemist, and now that I know the secret of this ruin, and see the living ancestor girl, I really don't think I can stay out of it, but I don't think I can survive either."

"What's more, joining forces with you? I don't think I'm qualified to deal with a high-level Order Master. ”

"Little Ancient Civilization Professor? The best relics scholars in the south are so modest, then there are few big ones in the empire. ”

Shaking her head exaggeratedly, Yelena raised her index finger meaningfully and pointed to it: "'We' need you. Now that you know the Ancestral Maiden, you must have understood our purpose, how valuable do you think you are to us? Do we waste our most precious knowledge in this way? ”

"What's more, aren't you maintaining an orphanage? The reward for exploring the ruins is far from enough to sustain your good deeds, but trust me, as long as you join us, your orphanage will have no problem expanding tenfold. ”

“……”

Su Yan wanted to sneer and sarcastically why the other party didn't open ten orphanages before.

But soon, he remembered something.

- An overly coincidental tax collector, just the right amount of honorarium, Yelena who just happened to appear and a mysterious mission that matches his superficial expertise.

Also, the forces behind this woman.

Su Yan was self-aware, he knew that he was not clever and wise, but he was certainly not stupid.

Xiguang Orphanage...... If Yelena wasn't lying, the forces behind her valued Professor Svetley's knowledge from the start.

That's what they are now. It is impossible not to send people to monitor the orphanage.

So after being silent for a while, Su Yan said, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Clever man, Professor. You don't need to do a lot, it's not dangerous, you just need to interfere with the operation of the flint master's armor at the critical moment, just a moment, only you, who are also alchemists, and have also trained in the Light Chaser Order—we know you can do it. ”

The smile on Yelena's face became even happier, and she stretched out her hand again, and this time Su Yan also stretched out her hand.

After the two shook hands, the female knight turned around and left directly, and Su Sun said in a deep voice: "Your boss ......"

"Smart people don't ask this question. Professor, you shouldn't ask, and I won't say. ”

Stopping slightly, she interrupted Su Sun's inquiry: "Also, remember to let Xiao Gasha and Xiao Loya stay away from the camp - that's not where they should be close." ”

Yelena's footsteps then sounded again, and the knight disappeared around the corner of the hallway, the wind barrier at the entrance of the passage slowly dissipating.

Su Sun stood in place with a solemn face, while Gasha and Luo Ya both stood behind Su Sun with a confused expression.

No, it should be said, it's just that Loya-Gasha seemed to vaguely understand a little, his face turned a little pale, and he asked softly, "Professor...... Everyone in the courtyard ......"

"It's fine."

Coming back to his senses, Su Sun shook his head with a smile, his hands behind his back, his red eyes faintly shining in the darkness of the ruins: "I won't let everyone have anything to do."

"Dean...... What did Aunt Yelena say just now? ”

Luo Ya is full of confusion, he is indeed a genius, he can assemble alchemy equipment at a young age, and he can successfully condense his soul, but in terms of human sophistication and interpersonal communication, Luo Ya is still too well protected, Gasha and the former Professor Svetley did not let him participate in these things.

"Hmm."

Su Yan heard this doubt, thought about it, and said seriously: "To put it bluntly, it is a person with other intentions who wants to pull me into the gang." Deal with someone else with ulterior motives.

"Then again, can't these people speak without telling riddles?"

Sighing, he turned his head and told the two children seriously: "I say it again, Gasha, Loya, when you grow up, don't be this kind of riddler!" ”

"Yes! Remember! ”

The two children's voices were quick and powerful, and they clearly hated the behavior.

The next day ended quickly, and the members of the exploration team did not communicate with each other except for the exchange of exploration results during the meal before the break.

Of course, this is on the surface, and no one knows how many times there has been an exchange like Su Sun and Yelena in private.

Master Suiguang has never left his armor, after all, the alchemist's ** is very fragile, as long as it is not in a safe place, the alchemist of the Light Chaser Order will not leave it.

And Adama was also stunned by his luggage, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. Although he has barely regained some of his consciousness as a human since he was injected with the tranquilizer, the damage to his soul caused by the demonization disease is irreversible, and it is no longer possible for him to tell cold jokes that can lower the temperature like the earth-based spellcaster at the beginning.

The bonfire burned silently, and another night passed.

On the third day, this day was still just an ordinary exploration, and Su Sun and his party did not find a clue to leave the ruins.

However, when they returned to the camp, they received two rather unexpected news.

[Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has found a passage to the outside of the ruins. 】

There was also a rare joy in the mechanical voice of the Suiguang Master, and Su Sun could even imagine the smiling expression of a white-haired old scholar in the armor: [The passage is located at the ceiling at the top of the northeast, where the mountain has collapsed, revealing a crack, which is relatively narrow, and I am afraid that only children can climb out. 】

[But according to our strength, it is not difficult to expand it.] 】

"She's waking up."

And Yelena's message was even simpler, she directly stretched out her hand and pointed to the iron coffin, with a little anger in her tone: "After the static position of the ancestors was opened, we couldn't restart it, and now that she is going to wake up, what should we do?" A living, moving ancestor, in such a dangerous environment - if she is injured even a little, we will all die and we will not be able to pay enough! ”

At this point, she glared fiercely at Master Suiguang and Harder, "If it weren't for you having to open it, things wouldn't have been so troublesome!" ”

"What?"

The news on both sides was quite sudden, even if Harder was glared at by Yelena, he didn't react, and even became equally anxious: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Cold.

Su Yan turned his head directly to look at the sarcophagus, indeed, he could sense that the soul in the coffin had begun to ripple.

The soul of ordinary people is like tinted glass with ripples: the transparent nature, the color of the source energy, and the fluctuations of emotions, just by looking at the soul, you can understand the general situation of a person.

But the girl in the coffin, or the native noun of the Aion world, 'ancestors', her soul is very peculiar, showing an opaque, impurity-free pure silver, and emitting a very dazzling light.

At this moment, this unsullied silver light is rippling, releasing waves of holiness, purity, and tranquil joy.

- It's beautiful.

Nodding slightly, Su Sun had basically never seen such a soul, even if he himself was not a 'pure good', so it was impossible to have such a clean soul.

Because I didn't have it, I admired it.

But there are other people who can also perceive the beauty of this 'soul' at a glance with Su Sun, and their reaction is far greater than Su Sun's.

Because I don't have it, I am greedy.

There was a click, a click, and the sound of the bones grinding against each other sounded, and the giant, who had been sitting on the side, stood up.

Demonizers crave pure souls, as they are too filthy, and their souls that have been eroded by high-density sources are as corrupt and fragile as apples that have been hollowed out by ants, so they need something to fill them.

"I'm hungry."

Simple vocabulary. Adama hadn't eaten for the last two days of exploration, and had been sitting by his luggage, staring blankly at the ground, muttering something of a giant language that only his hometown would speak.

Not to mention whether he will eat in this state, his own dry food has already been eaten a few days ago.

It is impossible for anyone to give him their own food, not even Master Suiguang.

Rather, keeping the beast alive and hungry was his purpose.

Adamaden was the center of everyone's attention when he stood up, and he himself stared directly at the iron coffin in front of him, his throat squirming violently, making a purring beast sound, and his tall body was a little rickety, making him look no longer like a man, but a giant beast walking upright.

"Gasha, take Loya back and stay away."

Sighing, Su Sun motioned for his apprentice to stay away, what was going to happen next was obviously inappropriate for children and extremely dangerous.

Adama is certain to die, whether it is simply a complete madness at the end of the demonic disease, or, as Yelena said, being saved by Master Suiguang as a weapon against others, the outcome will not make much difference - he will definitely die, and definitely at the hands of his former teammates.

"You madman, what are you going to do!"

Harder stepped forward at the first moment and stood in front of Adama.

He had already drawn his long sword, and the cold qi formed an aura around his body, and the swordsman said in a loud voice: "Looking at you like this, even the master's tranquilizer is completely useless, right?" Even if I do good deeds today, I will send you home! ”

As Harder stood in the way of the demonic giant, a dark green light flashed from the depths of Adama's eyes, and he let out a low roar, revealing a mouth full of lion-like fangs, and then struck out with an unusually swift punch that sent a thunderous wind and shockwave towards Harder's head.

"What's ......?!"

The frost sword technique in the north can indeed slow down the enemy's speed, but in the face of such speed, the swordsman is obviously powerless, and he exclaimed in surprise before he finished his fist, so that Harder could only subconsciously raise his long sword to block his head.

But it didn't make sense - with the blood of giants and demonization, Adama's blow had surpassed the speed of sound, and it was not just Harder of the Spirit Radiance Rank who could withstand it.

With a crisp sound, the frost-patterned steel longsword snapped off from it, and the shocked swordsman flew upside down, and then slammed into the walls of the ruins, and as it was inlaid into the walls, it also shook off a cloud of gravel and rubble.
