Chapter 62: The Red Festival (17)

"--- Qing---- Merlin and I borrowed it from the Elven Queen when we passed through Avalon. Creation -----"

The corners of Egg's eyes twitched and he looked at Qing, and Qing also looked at Egger who was staring at him in a daze.

"Very, is it important? ----“

"Of course it's important! You idiot! This is a record of the birth of all the gods, the appearance of living beings, and the twilight of the sunset of the gods, from the creation of Gaia and the powerful primordial spirits together! The most important thing is that there is also a record of ancient magic that has disappeared since the First and Second Ages! “

Egger flew out of the water, pecking at Qing's head with his sharp beak, his wings fluttering disheveled.

"Get me back!! What are you doing stupidly!? Hurry up and find it!! “

Iger stopped beating and plunged into the water. According to Egger's original personality, although it can swim, it will never dive into the water. Qing also quickly came back from his stupor and dived into the water, and the man who had been listening to Egg's story also realized the importance of the book and dived into the water to help find it.

The water of the creek flows down from a nearby mountain, and the current is not fast, but it is not slow either. The three of them searched in the water, and every now and then Egg and the man would poke their heads out of the water to breathe, and then continue to dive into the water to search. And because Qing has been constantly breaking through his limits for two years, his body is stronger than that of a mammoth! Holding your breath in the water can be counted in hours!

Qing kept searching in the murky water, this small river is not very big, only about eight or nine meters wide, but the riverbed is very deep. It is believed that it was left over from the impact of the flash flood in the past.

Groping for the whereabouts of the stone book in the dirty mud, picking up a stone with a stone, and throwing it away when he found something that was not what he was looking for. Visibility in the deep water was low, and it was night, and the water was muddy, so the eyes were useless in this environment, so they had to fumble around with their hands, hoping to find the lost items.

[Whoa!] ~】

"Poof! ~Huhe~Huhe~---"

Qing floated out of the water and spat out the river water in his mouth, gulping for rough air. Qing had been in the water for two hours, and had not come up for a change of breath once. Iger and the man had also given up the search due to lack of physical strength. As soon as Egger saw Qing poking his head out of the water, he immediately gathered around him and asked.

"Are you alright? I've been holding my breath in the water for so long, I'm almost ready to come down and catch you. What do you think? Did you find it? ----“

"No ----"

Qing shook his head, he had been looking in the water for two hours, and the places he could touch had basically been groped back and forth several times. However, no matter how much Qing searched in the water, he couldn't find the whereabouts of the stone book.

"Sorry ---- me! ---“

"It's okay! Hahaha~ Isn't it just a book~ If you lose it, you lose it! “

Egg suddenly changed his normal laughter and patted Qing's shoulder, not at all nervous.

"It's just a book, I just went too far. Although the book was borrowed from Avalon, I didn't succeed in it after that time---- I think the elven queen should have forgotten about it-----hahahaha----"

Egger's laughter didn't make Qing feel relaxed at all, but only added to his guilt.

"No! I'll look further afield! ----“

Qing said that he wanted to dive into the water again, but was directly attacked by Egg. Qing was a little puzzled.

"You don't have to look for it, Qing. You've done what you had to do, and I have no reason to be so you. You don't have to feel guilty about that! “

"But ---"

"It's all said that you don't need it!! -----“

Egg's voice was so high that he couldn't tell if it was angry, or if he was really relieved and didn't care at all.

"----Maybe ---- that statement is true---- I'm sorry, I'm going back to rest----"

After apologizing, Iger slowly grew smaller and turned into a blue point of light. The point of light floated in the air for a while, and flew into the pendant on the blue chest.

"Egger! Wait a minute! ------Hey~~"

Qing sighed and sat back in the water, looking up at the starry night sky. It's really the first time I've seen Egger like this, and it's different from Egger's usual foolish appearance, and Egger just now feels very strange to Qing------

"Are you alright? ---“

The new friend sat next to Ao, and he was the first person not to be shocked by Ao's appearance. He looked at Qing's eyes, which were natural, peaceful, and clear, without a trace of desire that Qing hated.

"Hehehe--- I'm fine! It's just a fight with a friend, just like the last time, and Iger will be fine in a while. ----“

"It's different--- I can see it. You weren't angry about the quarrel just now. “

"Not this time, did I?"

"Yes, no! You didn't do anything to upset the other at the time, but this time ----"

"I know, Iger chose to avoid it. This is how people react when they encounter something they don't want to face----"

"Don't you want to know why?"

"I believe in it, and I believe it will tell me the truth one day! I'm going to wait until it wants to tell me. It's trust between friends, isn't it~--"

The man looked into Qing's eyes, and Qing smiled at him, and he immediately turned away with a red face, not daring to look at Qing, even though he knew that Qing was a man. Even if Qing is wearing shorts and sitting together with her breasts exposed, it's useless.

Qing's appearance is really out of the common sense of the world, and it is simply not amazing that the mortal world should appear. Qing sat quietly on the stone by the water, and the bright moonlight shone on Qing's peerless face. The long black straight hair was stained with water droplets, casually placed on the chest and back, and there was no intention of combing it at all. The white and delicate skin with slightly bulging muscles is full of the beauty of lines. All of this gives people a sense of beauty that is not at all what should appear in the world.

"Are you and Egger friends -------"

The man lowered his head and looked at the clear water, the calm water was slightly glowing with moonlight, white and transparent.

"Haven't we been friends since we met? You bumped into me that day, left in a hurry, and then you were beaten and dying, and we were already friends when I decided to save you! “

Qing smiled at her friend who was still nervous, propped her face in her hands, and fiddled with her waist-length hair.

"Friends? It's a great feeling---"

After the man heard Qing's words, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and happily looked at the holy moon in the sky.

"Didn't you --- have friends before? ----“

"There used to be --- but their --- are no longer there----"

The man lay sad in the water, even though he tried his best to show joy, but the tears could not be hidden.

"Can you talk to me? --- painful past, always buried in the heart will only make people feel regretful and sad--- maybe, say it so that you will not feel lonely, you are not alone. Isn't it? ----“
