Chapter 396 Once Again, and Again
Rain, endless rain.
Miya Xing never saw her again.
He fainted, and when he opened his eyes again, he was faced with a strange Dark Clan in an unfamiliar place.
Her attire was quite different from everyone else's.
He should be highly valued by Rui Bu Si.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the Demon Lord has instructed that you cannot leave here until your identity is verified."
The voice was gentle, but the tone was cold.
It should not be described as cold.
Her voice was devoid of emotion, much like the Rui Bu Si he had met.
"you are?"
She did not give an answer.
The servant who was looking after him said that this man was Xu Jinzhao, the next steward here.
It is now the year 763 of the Japanese calendar, two hundred and twenty-nine years since his "disappearance".
Two hundred and twenty-nine years.
The leaping numbers winked at him; time passed so swiftly, like an observer mocking the delusions of someone trapped in time.
His brain started working at high speed as soon as he regained consciousness, and it wasn't difficult to get some answers, but he deliberately suppressed all his doubts, just like many times in the past.
He wasn't thinking about anything.
The Great War of Darkness began when the Dark Emperor reappeared in the universe and lasted for 245 years, ending in the year 769 of the Japanese calendar.
They're currently locked in a fierce battle.
His servant brought him some books at his request.
According to current magazine records, the Dark Emperor was nearly assassinated by the Quark Clan in 556 AD, but was saved by the heavens. The Dark Emperor was said to be extremely powerful.
According to recent magazine records, Aurora Star exploded in 740. The Quark race had been planning this for a long time, which enabled them to clean up the aurora radiation energy scattered in the universe and take in the homeless Aurora race.
The Soli people seem to have been completely forgotten.
This is easy to understand. After the Solli tribe changed its Grand Elder, it began to keep a low profile, and the Solli people had been silent and untraceable in this universe for too long.
Why is there no news of Destian?
Oh, right.
The Dark Clan's disdain for healing is not limited to their own people.
On his third day there, with the permission of the unseen Ribbs, he met Carrington.
The butler was old and frail, but he still did things at his usual unhurried pace.
At an unfamiliar time, a slightly more familiar person appeared before him, and Mi Yaxing's stifling and irritable mood, which had been stuck in his room with nothing to do but flip through old magazines, improved slightly.
“Lord Mya Star,” Carrington greeted with a smile, “you are still as young as ever.”
From Carrington's perspective, he accidentally entered a magic circle by the river more than two hundred years ago, suddenly disappeared, and then emerged from the magic circle more than two hundred years later.
There was no detailed explanation of the magic circle, no questions about why he went in and how he came out, and no confusion about his unchanging appearance.
The system hastily addressed all these inconsistencies.
Also.
This world is about to end.
No need to put in the effort.
"The Demon Lord had a premonition that you would reappear. For the past month, even when the Emperor had no missions assigned to her, she would still go out. Xiao Jinzhao said that she was always staring blankly at the river."
Her intuition about important matters is always very accurate.
Everyone knows that.
The knocking drew Mia's attention but did not interrupt Carrington's speech.
After Carrington made a gesture, the person by the door glanced at him and waited quietly.
Miya Xing knew that she was Xu Jinzhao, and the servants had told her a bit about her story.
He was picked up by Rui Bu Si and turned from a little fool into an ice block.
"You miss her very much."
"Then she..."
"A lot has happened, Lord Miya Star. You've been gone for too long. It may not be obvious now, but it will become clear in time... You've been gone for too long."
Carrington emphasized this repeatedly, his words tinged with deep sighs, as if he wanted to convey everything to him through those sighs.
The helplessness and sorrow on her face made Mi Yaxing think of her lifeless body on the other side of the rain curtain.
Did...the Dark Emperor do something?
His questions went unanswered, and after talking for a while, the old man was clearly exhausted.
Besides, someone had something important to discuss with her.
Carrington stood up, leaning on his cane, and the people waiting by the door rushed to help him.
Miya Star was glanced at by Xu Jinzhao again.
“Mr. Carrington,” Xu Jinzhao said softly, his voice different from the respect and gentleness he showed when speaking to others, “there is someone outside waiting to see the Demon Lord.”
Is there something important?
"She...she wants those flowers, the flowers left behind by Lord Mingmo. She also wants to see the Demon Lord one more time."
Xu Jinzhao seemed to be very familiar with the "she" he was referring to.
Carrington knows him too.
He thought of the little girl that Mingmo had brought back from the human world, but that was obviously impossible.
Even if a human without magical abilities drinks large amounts of magic potions every day, they cannot live for more than two hundred years.
He followed tentatively behind, and for the first time in days, no one stopped him.
It seems that the word "sir" used by the butler carries great weight.
It's an acquaintance.
It's not just theirs.
It's his too.
"Kiki..." Teacher?
The sound of rain masked his small gasp of surprise.
Kiki stood under the eaves in a disheveled state he had never seen before, her eyes filled with pleading.
Her appearance is no different from that of two hundred years later; in comparison, she just looks more youthful now.
And his complexion was not as good as it would have been later.
"I'm leaving today, but I just want to move some more flowers with me. They're going to wither soon without anyone taking care of them..."
Her voice grew quieter.
"Come in first." Carrington patted Xu Jinzhao's hand.
The person who should have understood did nothing; they didn't look at Kiki, nor did they say anything.
“It’s never good to be wet,” Carrington sighed. “Come in, have some hot water, and change into clean clothes. The Demon Lord won’t mind.”
Upon hearing this, Kiki finally took action.
She whispered a string of thanks, like a homeless child being temporarily fostered by someone.
With each wet footprint she left on the clean floor, her head would droop a little lower.
She changed into clean clothes under the guidance of a servant, her hair still damp. The servant gently wiped it for her with a handkerchief. She sat there, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Teacher... when will the Demon Lord return?"
"Your Highness, the Witch..."
“No, no, no, no need,” Kiki quickly waved her hands, her face turning red. “Mr. Carrington, you don’t need to call me Lady Witch anymore. It was because I was immature a few years ago, I’m sorry.”
"Please accept my condolences regarding Lord Mingmo's passing. As for the flowers Lord Mingmo planted before his death..."
As Carrington finished speaking, Kiki suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with hope.
“Those flowers are gone.” Without waiting for Carrington to continue, Xu Jinzhao, unlike Carrington’s gentleness, gave the result directly and looked at Kiki for the first time.
"There are still a few seeds left," perhaps realizing her words might be a bit harsh on Kiki at this moment, her voice softened with a hint of stiffness, "The rest..."
“I know, I know, those people were really mean. It's good that there are still seeds left. I was just worried about what to do with too many flowers. I can't carry them all by myself, and my witchcraft skills aren't very good either... Haha, Xiao Jin... no, no, you... I..."
She couldn't continue speaking.
Xu Jinzhao handed her the seeds and said nothing more.
Miya Xing understood from their conversation.
Not long after the death of the Demon Lord of the Underworld, it was the time when everyone was kicking him while he was down.
Kiki may be one of the descendants of that human girl, or perhaps the human world continues to slaughter its own kind as witches, and Mingmo needs a servant who can take good care of the flowers, so he rescued Kiki in the process.
The former is more likely.
For some unknown reason, he knows that Rabsi, who is only a half-baked sorcerer in both the past and the future, is Kiki's sorcery teacher.
Yes, before Mingmo died.
Clearly... Rui Bu Si and Ming Mo have a very good relationship.
However, after Mingmo's death, Kiki acted with extreme caution.
She shouldn't be, and she never should be, this kind of person.
Her image appeared in his mind, and in a daze, she appeared in front of him.
“Rib...desolate, sir.”
This is the second time in a short period of time that I have lost control of my emotions and spoken without thinking.
This is not a good thing.
He clenched his fist, forcing himself to concentrate, but when he looked up, he met her gaze, which was very cold.
The sound is also:
Why do you know this name?
