At this time, Eloline was unable to react to the situation. She looked at Likalo in front of her, recalled that she had been attacked before, and quickly became alert. "Who are you!?" X2 The two shouted almost at the same time, and both kept their distance from each other. Eloline found herself in the study at home. Something was wrong. Wasn't the whole house blown up? Looking at Likalo in front of her, she felt that she had to confirm her identity. "Ask! What's my nickname!" "Little black dragon!" "Where was our first kiss?" "Uh..." Likalo was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is it in human form or dragon form?" After hearing this, Eloline could basically confirm that it was Licaro herself.
Licaro boldly ran over and grabbed Eloline's tail, stroking it from the tip to the base. "Woo!" Seeing Eloline's reaction, Licaro immediately hugged her. But just a few seconds later, Licaro ran downstairs like crazy. Seeing her mother still sitting in the living room drinking tea, Licaro ran over and touched her face, then rushed out again. No problem, mothers are real. Doris looked at her daughter with some confusion, but before she could ask anything, her daughter left. At the same time, with the sound of bangs, Eloline also went downstairs. Like Licaro, she touched Doris's face and then chased after Licaro. It was obvious that Licaro was going to the City Lord's Mansion. While running, Eloline was thinking about what had happened before. Doris was already confused by her two daughters. Was this a new way of saying goodbye? ------------- PS: You didn’t expect this, did you? qwq, is anyone urging me to update? Chapter 2 - Disaster 086 Clues It was getting close to evening and the sun was about to set, but there was no black rain or thick fog outside. Eloline quickly caught up with Likalo and held her hand. Everything was normal in the Duke's mansion. The maids and servants looked at the two people running with some surprise. The guards at the door stood guard as diligently as usual, alert for any suspicious persons approaching the Duke's residence. Although they were running, Eloline and Licaro were still able to think. It is now certain that the two of them have just had a horrific experience. But now is not the time to calm down and discuss. Licaro is eager to know her father's current safety.
The City Lord's Mansion is different from the Duke's mansion. It is not a private place and many people come and go on weekdays. This time, Licaro didn't care about politeness, but pushed the crowd in line and ran to the innermost part. At this time, Wilfin was sitting in the Duke's seat, in front of him were several citizens of Edfallon, who came to Wilfin to discuss something. Wilfen would meet with some civilian and noble representatives in the city lord's hall every day to gauge public opinion. However, Likalo's panicked intrusion made him think that something unexpected had happened. "Father!" When Licaro saw that her father was fine, she couldn't contain her excitement and rushed over to hug him. It turns out that what happened just now was really a dream, or rather... an illusion. Wilfin was very surprised and had no idea what was going on. Then Eloline also walked through the queue and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the scene in front of her. At this time, other people in the city lord's hall began to whisper. Some of them had seen this girl on the street, but did not know her true identity. So she is the Duke's daughter? Because Licaro was too excited, she didn't consider the consequences of calling out her father in front of so many people. But that doesn't matter. As Wilfen's daughter, she will appear in public sooner or later. Licaro hugged Wilfen tightly without saying a word, so Wilfen could only look at his other daughter with a puzzled look. Eloline thought for a while, not knowing how to explain it. If she told the truth, it would only make her parents worry. So she ran over and grabbed Likalo's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Now that we have confirmed that father is okay, let's retreat quickly." Now Licaro has calmed down. She knows that her father is working and there are many citizens of Edfallon present. It is indeed not appropriate for her to stay here for long. "Then goodbye, father. We can talk tonight if we have anything to say!" Licaro took Eloline's hand and ran out of the City Lord's Mansion again. Wilfin was confused. What game were his daughters playing? It’s not good to disturb me while I’m doing my official business. I guess I have to give him a lecture in the evening. "Cough cough." Wilfin coughed twice, and his expression once again revealed the majesty of a duke. What happened just now was just a minor episode and only affected his official duties for a few minutes. However, this should be the first time that my daughter appeared in front of the citizens of Edfallon. Although many nobles and businessmen know my daughter, it is the first time for the common people to know her. Wilfin felt that the time had come. His daughter was already seventeen years old and was already an adult, so there was no need to hide her and prevent her from appearing in public. He continued to deal with today's affairs, while Eloline and Licaro ran out of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were finally able to calm down and have a good discussion. The two of them first told each other what had happened since they separated, and then thought about what had happened.
Now it is certain that what just happened did not happen in reality. After all, the razed house was still there, his father was not in any danger, and the attacker was not seen. So the question is, why did the two of them suddenly fall into an illusion? Licaro thought of the guy who looked exactly like her and said something about a prank at the end. According to Eloline's recollection, the enemies she fought against all shouted the name of the God of Disaster. The God of Disaster should be the "God of Hope" believed in by the cult of Lombard. Could it be a prank by the God of Disaster? This explanation is totally unreasonable. First of all, there is nothing about them that attracts the God of Disaster. Licaro was assassinated before in the Imperial City, and the other party misunderstood that Licaro was a clergyman. Apart from that incident, the God of Disaster never appeared in their lives again. The two walked back while thinking about various possibilities. Suddenly, Eloline stopped walking because she felt like she was being watched again, as she had felt when she returned home before. Now that they had arrived at the gate of the Duke's residence, Eloline felt that there was no need for her and Licaro to investigate in person. There have been frequent assassinations against imperial nobles recently. The Duke's mansion is protected by many powerful people, and they will not disappear like in the previous illusion. Therefore, Eloline and Licaro discussed it and directly asked the guards at the door to notify those powerful warriors to search the area carefully to see if they could find any suspicious people. Then they went home, having agreed not to tell their mother what had happened. As expected, Doris asked, but Eloline and Licaro evaded the question by saying they were playing games. "You two are not little anymore. This game is a bit childish." Doris said jokingly. "Well, let's go back to our room and read!" "Don't you want to eat? The food is cold." It was not until then that they remembered that their mother had mentioned eating when they returned home. "Father hasn't come back yet, let's wait for him." said Eloline. "Strange, why do we have to wait for your father today?" In the past, we didn’t need to wait for Wilfin to come back for dinner. After all, he could be very busy sometimes and could easily be late for home. Eloline felt that further explanation would only make things more suspicious, so she gave Licaro a hint and decided to have dinner first to dispel her mother's doubts. It’s not that they are afraid that their mother will know what happened before, but because their mother is just an ordinary person and can’t help them at all with what they are going through. And the illusion they experienced was very ominous...
Sitting at the dining table, Doris stared at the two people curiously, her doubts almost written on her face. So Eloline tried to change the subject: "Mom, what do you like to do?" Although she has been a member of this family for a long time, Eloline knows her father and mother far less than Licaro. Doris was happy to talk about Eloline's question. She has many interests and hobbies, all of which are in line with the identity of a noble lady. "Mother, why do you look so young and beautiful?" Eloline said in a tone that was half praise and half question. In her eyes, Doris was very well maintained, and if she walked on the street with her and Likalo, they would be considered sisters. Could it be because the nobles had good living conditions? Doris smiled slightly, and then said: "When I have time in the future, I will take you back to my hometown, and you will understand why I am so young." "Oh? Is there something special in my mother's hometown that can delay aging?" Licaro was also very curious about what her mother said. She had lived in Edfallon since she was a child and had actually never been to her mother's hometown. My mother's hometown is not within the empire. It is very far away from Edfallon, and it would take a very long time to go back and forth even by carriage. Likalo didn't care about these things when she was a child, but in fact, after she grew up, she was also curious about why her mother was so young. You know, my father's hair is almost all white now, but my mother... "Then I am looking forward to visiting my mother's hometown," said Eloline. She had been too embarrassed to ask her mother's age because of politeness, but later it was Licaro who told her. Although Doris looks young, she is actually over 40 years old. She was in her forties but looked like she was in her twenties. If Eloline hadn't been sure that Doris was an ordinary human, she would have thought she was a member of the immortal race. If there is some method in my mother's hometown that can delay aging, then she can give it to Likalo, right? After quickly finishing their meal, Eloline and Licaro found an excuse to sneak upstairs. They planned to go back to the study where they had fallen into the illusion before and find out the reason. At present, one thing can be confirmed. Since the two of them fell into the illusion unknowingly, it means that the creator or manipulator of the illusion must be very powerful. Eloline speculated that when she and Licaro fell into the illusion, they were in a coma in reality, which revealed a very dangerous signal. What if danger occurs in the outside world while they are trapped in the illusion? This situation of being unable to resist is terrifying. Elorin and Licaro stayed in the study for a while and did not fall into the previous illusion again. The weather outside was still normal. So they began to pick up the books scattered on the ground, most of which were adventure novels bought by Licaro, and only a few were bought by Eloline. When Eloline picked up a book with a black cover, she was suddenly stunned. She remembered this book. She had carefully selected it because she wanted to know more about the evil god.
Although there are indeed many books related to evil gods in the library, those books are labeled as containing fiction. Even this one has the words "Most of the contents of this book are speculation and fabrication" written on the cover. But at least this book is the majority, while the other books clearly state that they are all fake. I have to say that these books are quite honest and do not involve any deception. Human records of evil gods are very scarce. Perhaps more information can be found in the abilities of other immortal races. In any case, the book was bought by Eloline, and she planned to finish reading it.
