Chapter 457 You Are Not From the Same World
"Him..." Lilith realized at this moment that it was indeed the case. It had been a few days, and it seemed that they had never run into Daniel.
"It seems that Ozler's situation is really not good..." Lilith sat up, picked up a green grass that was anxious to get out of the ground to feel the spring, and twisted it in her hand.
"I don't know what happened to Bobby." Ian couldn't help but miss his companion.
"He must be fine." Lilith asserted, "He hasn't even been returned. I thought I'd see him crying when school started."
Ian couldn't help but look at Lilith, who was putting grass under her nose and pretending to grow two ridiculous mustaches.
"Maybe we'll be there soon." Lilith suddenly said. The girl stretched her hands back and looked at the training ground in a relaxed manner. "At this rate, we may not be able to leave until graduation."
Several lower grade children walked past the two of them, chatting and laughing. In the training ground behind them, logs were lifted high up and then put down heavily by the young guardians. The logs rolled and made them scatter for cover with strange noises. Then they laughed out loud again. Their clothes were already soaked with sweat, and now, under the sunlight, it was as if they were coated with golden armor.
This place is so pure and happy, like another world. Lilith felt sad in advance at the thought of leaving here one day.
"Are you afraid, Lilith?" Ian asked, also looking at those people.
"Their happiness is so simple..." Even though the disaster caused by Ozler is now well known in Goletia, it cannot affect the vigorous growth of these children. Just looking at them, I feel... "I'm not afraid. Maybe the future won't be as bad as we think."
"Besides, we still have you!" Lilith smiled and raised her head, extending her hand to Ian, "——Partner."
"I'm starving. Let's go eat." Seeing that Ian didn't understand, Lilith shook her wrist.
Ian couldn't help but smile and reached out to pull Lilith up.
It was just that the moment Lilith stood up, the expression on her face suddenly twisted for a moment, and Ian's eyes were on her, so he naturally noticed it at the first time, "What's wrong? Did you strain it?"
"..."
Lilith's face, which was originally full of vitality, suddenly lost all color and turned pale. Facing Ian's question, she was unable to speak for a moment because of her clenched teeth. She just lowered her head. Ian followed her line of sight -
On the two people's clasped hands, the dim little lizard totem on Lilith's palm suddenly turned bright red, and seemed to... have grown a little bigger?
Ian's expression suddenly changed.
"This is... Lilith?!"
…………
"Oh!"
The door of the winery was suddenly pushed open, and Bella, who was sitting in the hall sorting out the accounts, was startled. She looked up and saw the guy who always quarreled with Miss Lilith.
"Mr. Lucas?" Bella was surprised, looking at the boy who was running out of breath and speechless. It seemed that today was not the weekend yet? He started skipping classes and climbing over the wall in the first week of school?
"Are...are you okay?" Bella stood up and walked towards him around the long table with a questioning look on her face.
"Where's Lyrael?" Lucas pressed his upper abdomen tightly and asked hurriedly, regardless of the cramping pain inside.
"Ah..." Although Bella didn't understand, she turned around and asked other people for him. Lucas followed her all the way through the winery, and finally walked out of the back of the winery and found the blacksmith workshop run by the dwarves next door.
"That elf!" In the scorching workshop, the red-bearded dwarf was shirtless with only a leather apron covering his face. He put a red-hot iron sheet into the water, and white mist instantly filled the entire room with a hissing sound.
The dwarf didn't mind being interrupted while working. Instead, he chatted with the visitor with great interest. "Did you see my new sign? He put it up for me! Hey, every time I see them, I don't believe in the nonsense that the world is fair. What did the gods take from the elves?"
"Do you know where he went?" Lucas didn't have the patience to listen any further. His heart was beating like a drum, making his eardrums jump. The sight of Lilith suddenly falling down was too scary and could not be erased from his mind.
"Mr. Lariel hasn't returned to the winery since he went out today. They said he last came to your place," Bella explained.
"Oh, this guy is so quick?" The dwarf dropped the fire tongs in his hand, somewhat surprised and somewhat happy. "He said he couldn't delay any longer and it was time to go home. He got some arrows from me. I got along well with him and even gave him a magic arrow with fire attribute!"
Go home? No, he couldn't go home. Lucas looked serious.
"His companion... Did you know he had a companion?" Lucas asked again.
"Oh yes, he said he was going to pick up a companion." The dwarf walked to the counter facing the street, picked up the wine glass and took a few sips to relieve the thirst in his throat.
"He said he was going to..."
…………
When Lucas ran back to the school infirmary, it was already full of people. Ian and his other friends were squeezed against the wall, not daring to breathe. Lilith on the bed had nowhere to hide, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to face the teachers' judgment.
On the training ground, Lilith felt a sharp pain when Ian pulled her up, and then she lost consciousness. After being sent to the school infirmary, Phoebe saw at a glance that it was the totem of the blood oath, and realized that something was wrong, so she could only call her colleagues to come over.
The first thing Lilith saw when she opened her eyes was Colin with a sullen face. She wished she could faint again.
"Now, are you feeling uncomfortable, painful, or dizzy?" Phoebe spoke first.
"No, no." Lilith shook her head quickly. This was not a lie. She really didn't feel uncomfortable at the moment. "I feel fine."
"You are really brave, Miss Lilith!" Professor Colin could no longer hold back, and his words fell like machine guns, "Do you understand what this means? Swearing with blood! Who do you think you are to make such a guarantee?! Have you forgotten what I emphasized over and over again in class about respecting life?"
"Your companion told us some of what happened. Do you think it was just a vow?" Luna, the teacher of the spell class, frowned disapprovingly. "In fact, the shaman linked your life with the elf's to ensure its safety. If he gets into trouble, you will get into trouble too."
"Then Lariel..." Anxious worry flashed across Lilith's eyes. Lucas opened and closed his mouth a few times, but now was not the time to interrupt.
"It's not completely impossible to remove it." Teacher Wanda pinched her wrist and admired the totem. Lilith then discovered that the once tiny lizard seemed to have eaten its fill of blood. It had grown to twice its previous size and was occupying her entire tiger's mouth. Its long, slender tail had already coiled onto Lilith's index finger.
"If the shaman is willing to give some more blood..." Wanda pushed her glasses up as she thought.
Lilith recalled the cold look in the lizardman shaman's eyes and felt that this was impossible. "Shouldn't we go find Lariel first?"
"Maybe you shouldn't have provoked that elf." Colin said in a cold tone.
"You are not from the same world, Lilith."
