C15 14 Nova

(14) Nova

I jogged all the way to the center of the Fortress of Ice. In front of me, there was a magnificent and magnificent building that was a few hundred meters tall. It was the palace of the Fortress of Ice.

Without thinking too much about it, I put away my weapon, looked around me, and strode toward the palace.

Unexpectedly, just at this moment, a guard who was a stone statue stepped forward, placed the halberd in his hand in front of me and shouted, "Imperial Palace's Forbidden Area! No one is allowed to enter! "

I was stunned. The archer instructor didn't tell me that such a thing happened. However, I have been stopped. I can't force my way in. [Demonic Eye] can't see the stats of the guard, which means that he is at least 20 levels higher than me. In fact, the guards around the palace are all at least 80 levels stronger than me.

Just when I was about to go back to the coaches to ask for my pass, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. When I looked around to confirm that there was no one else around, I quietly walked to the guard's side and stuffed a gold coin into his pocket. I'm just going to look for someone I know and I'll be right out. "

The guard touched the gold coin in his pocket and said sternly, "The Imperial Palace's Forbidden Area forbids entry! Even if you are the personal bodyguard of His Majesty! "

I paused for a moment before I stuffed another gold coin in his hands. "Big brother guard, I'm really only going to look for an acquaintance of mine. I hope that you can help me with this matter."

The guard squinted his eyes, touched the two gold coins in his pocket, and said righteously: "The Imperial Palace is forbidden from entering! However … I can see that you are a proper and upright kid with delicate features. You don't seem to be any bad person. I will only make an exception today and come out right after I finish my business! Remember to thank me! "

"Yes, yes. If there is anything good, I will come often to honor you!" While dealing with him, I was at a loss for words. Damn! You can even do that? This national uniform really had the characteristics of a country!

After walking into the palace, I saw three paths. According to the archer MM, Nova's room was on the left side of the palace. In a very conspicuous garden, I walked towards the left side of the road. Along the way, I didn't meet any officials, but instead, I met many palace maids, all of them pointing at my tattered clothes, causing my old face to darken. I hastened my footsteps, and after many alleys, the garden that Lin Shan mentioned finally appeared in front of me.

I can't even see a full corner of the garden from a distance, it must be at least a few hundred thousand square meters, but only a small area by the lake has buildings inside, the rest of the area is either woods or a random place, I'm afraid it has long since exceeded the scope of the Imperial Palace, to be able to pick out such a large area from the city for Nova to live in, it is enough to show the respect the Mayor has for her. Carefully entering the garden, I looked around for Nova. By the lake? No. Pavilion? No. Lake Heart Pavilion? None...

Just as I was walking in the corridor of the pavilion and was about to go into the forest to search, something suddenly sounded out, and I smacked my forehead. Since Nova was known as an invisible shadow, naturally it wouldn't be so simple for me to find her, I actually foolishly searched around here, what an idiot!

When I thought of this, I immediately stopped. I took a deep breath and shouted, "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

"Hmm? Are you looking for me? " The crisp figure behind me, or to be more accurate, it was right next to my ear. It scared me out of my wits and I turned around abruptly. However, I was stunned once again.

It was a girl from a fairyland, dressed in plain clothes, her delicate body gently wrapped in it. On her delicate face was a pair of watery eyes, a nose like agar, and a mouth like a cherry. She tilted her head and looked at me with a smile, as if she was very pleased with the prank I had just played on her.

I shook my head to reset myself from my stupor and slowly said, "Lady, you are 'Invisible Descending,' Master Nova?

The girl lightly nodded and smiled, "Yes, I'm Nova. Don't call me that formal. It's unpleasant to the ear. If you want to call me Nova, just call me Sister Nova. What's the matter?"

My face twitched a few times. Even though I knew that the girl in front of me was old enough to be my great-grandmother, it was impossible for me to call out to an older sister who looked younger than me. Eyebrows... Other than Chen Yuan, she was just a threat!

"Cough, cough …" After dryly coughing a few times, I continued, "I'm here to acknowledge a teacher for my skills!"

"Oh?" Nova tilted her head in thought. "But why should I teach you?"

"Because …" "I paused for a moment and immediately removed the [Beholder] 's effect." Because I'm also a thief. "

I believe that Nova, the only thief left in the world, would be attracted to my same race.

Sure enough, when she saw my blood-colored eyes, her body immediately jolted and her eyes widened, unable to speak for a moment. With her mouth open, she stumbled toward me. In the next second, my eyes narrowed and I pulled out a dagger from an unknown place. I slashed at my arm at a speed that is undetectable by the naked eye.

I felt a breeze pass by and my arm hurt, but I didn't step back. I could feel that Nova meant no harm.

A drop of blood seeped out and floated in midair. Nova summoned the drop of blood to her side and used her small hands to hold it in midair. She chanted an obscure incantation. It was only about ten seconds later that his vision slowly returned. He only saw Nova standing there blankly.

"Nova?" I tried calling her name, but her eyes were fixed and she turned her head stiffly to look at me. In the next second, large droplets of tears instantly flowed out from my eyes. They directly pounced into my embrace and started crying like a child.

"Wuwuwu, you've finally come …" Woo woo … * Nova was so scared, so afraid that it would always be like this... Woo woo … * You have to protect Nova... Woo … Nova, don't be like this again... Don't ever be alone again... Wu wu wu … You have to protect Nova... "Sob, sob …"

I was stunned. Seems like I am the one looking for the teacher.

I didn't know what Nova went through, and I didn't know how to protect her. I just gently caressed the girl's head and smiled, saying indifferently, "Don't worry, I will definitely become stronger. I will become stronger to protect Nova, and I definitely won't let Nova continue to be alone."

"Mm …" The girl vaguely replied and actually fell asleep peacefully. It seemed like what happened just now had made her very tired.

I gently laid the girl down on the bench in the pavilion, while I leaned against the railing to look at the scenery. Nova was sleeping soundly, so she was quite at ease with me. I didn't know if it was because of Nova, but my eyelids felt heavier and heavier …

At this moment, the system notification suddenly sounded out, and I was immediately jolted awake like a bucket of cold water. "Di!" Warning: Your brain wave activity is less than 30%. Please log off immediately, or your life will be in danger! "

Hm? A system interface appears before my eyes, prompting me to log off. I forcibly press the "Confirm" button, but my vision immediately goes dark. When I open my eyes, I am already offline.

Opening my eyes, I feel as though my eyelids have sunk thousands of tons. In front of me is still that shabby little house. There doesn't seem to be any changes. However, when I tried to stand up, I was surprised to find that I couldn't control my body! Then I spat out a huge mouthful of blood, which flowed out of my mouth, nose, and ears.

Damn it! He had been online for nearly 9 hours. Was his body really unable to hold on?

"We can't die here!" Spitting out another mouthful of blood, I raised an arm and pressed the "emergency call" button on my helmet.

A few seconds later, after the call was connected, Xia Keke's gentle voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello? Turtle, what's the matter? "I roasted the cookie this afternoon, would you like me to bring some for you?"

"Quick... "Come here …"

After saying those words, my vision went black and I lost consciousness.
