Chapter 651

Shortly after the thrilling life-and-death battle, the group finally arrived at the city of Ohma.

The sun shone on the ground, but failed to dispel the fatigue and gloom in everyone's hearts.

At the city gate, people were busy coming and going, but there was an indescribable solemnity on their faces, as if they also felt the precarious situation that the city was about to face.

Xiadie looked up at the city gate, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Huh...it was a very dangerous escape, but fortunately, we finally arrived in Ohma safely."

Tian lay on Lin Yu's back, her little face as pale as paper, her eyes full of fatigue and pain. She murmured softly, "Well... Xiao Xiaodie, Tian still has... a headache." Her voice was weak, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Then, as if she remembered something, she said with guilt, "I'm sorry... You clearly told me not to open the door..."

Xiadie quickly walked to Tian'an and said, "No, Master Tian, ​​if you hadn't stepped forward, we might have been buried in the tree garden."

Tian shook her head slightly and said weakly, "Tian, ​​I feel so uncomfortable... I have to go back and sleep first..." As she said that, she slowly climbed down from Lin Yu's back, dragged her heavy steps, and walked back to a place alone in silence. Her lonely back made people feel distressed.

Xiadie looked at the direction where Tian left and said worriedly, "Since Master Tian woke up, he has been in a bad state... Is it really okay for him to go back alone?"

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, "Alas... the Hundred Worlds Gate opened again. I originally wanted to say that I had a way, but Tian opened the door too quickly... Xiadie, judging from the current situation, how many times can Tian be used?"

Xiadie's expression became more solemn. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Looking at Lord Tian's condition... I guess it can only be used once more..." Her voice was low, as if these few words weighed a thousand pounds.

"Can it be saved?"

Xiadie shook her head slowly and said sadly, "No... the side effects of performing miracles are irreversible..."

Just then, Nakexia's voice came from the side, "It's so noisy... Ohma is still the same."

Upon hearing this, Xiadie immediately turned around and looked at Na Kexia, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and asked, "Are you Teacher Na Kexia now?"

"There is no doubt. The Titan is silent. It is me, Anaxagoras of the Sophists."

"I call myself that, and it's definitely me."

At that moment Xia was silent.

"Teacher, let me be frank. The mission given to us by Lady Aglaya is to find survivors, find out the cause of the disaster in the tree garden, and...recover the fire of Sersis."

"Well, I'm not surprised at all. As you can see, I'm a survivor and I know the whole story of the disaster. I'm carrying a fire and I have no ability to resist." He looked down at his hands.

"So, are you going to report me to Aglaya?" Na Kexia raised his head and looked straight at Xiadie.

Xiadie lowered her head slightly and hesitated for a moment, "That is my duty, but I don't want to hand you over to her as a prisoner or a trophy."

Xia nodded slightly at that moment, "Well, I won't make things difficult for you. I have no objection to meeting that woman."

"But before that, I still have some things to do. The families of several of Shu Ting's colleagues live in the Holy City. I want to go and comfort them before meeting Aglaya."

Xing was listening at the side and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why before meeting Aglaya?"

"Because Lord Aglaya...I'm afraid he won't allow it." Xiadie explained.

At that moment, Xia snorted coldly, "Heh... I guess, not only will she refuse to let me visit the bereaved family, but she will also block the news about Shu Ting. That woman is so cold-blooded."

"Some of Shu Ting's friends died in order to defend the flame with me and fight against the black tide. Their families... have the right to know all this."

"So you plan to kill first and ask for permission later?"

"Even if I don't cause any trouble and honestly go to that woman to show my loyalty, will she be nice to me? I won't hesitate to vent my anger on her face."

"Are you going to stop me, Xiadie?"

"I will go with you, but you must understand that Lady Aglaya also has her considerations."

"Oh, put yourself in my shoes, you are indeed a good student."

"Teacher, after so many years, you and Lady Aglaya are still..." Xiadie was hesitant to speak.

"Neither of us is petty-minded. You should be very clear about the root of the conflict."

"Let's go. I'll keep my distance."

Xiadie looked at Lin Yu, Xing and Sanyueqi, then followed them.

"Is Aglaya cold-blooded?" Lin Yu muttered to himself at the end.

Xing walked to Lin Yu's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, when we have a chance later, we will naturally figure it out. The most urgent thing now is to follow them and see what Na Kexia is going to do."

March 7th jumped over, lay on Lin Yu's shoulder, and hugged Lin Yu, "That's right, maybe Aglaya has her own difficulties, we can't be misled by one-sided words." She reached out and lifted the hair by her ear, with an optimistic smile on her face, as if any complicated things could be easily resolved in her eyes.

...

The process of condoling the families of the victims was more difficult than anyone had expected.

Every time I step into a house, I am greeted by the smell of sadness and mourning.

After the visit, Xiadie looked at Na Kexia and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Na Kexia."

Xia nodded slightly at that moment and said, "Let's go, take me to see Aglaiya."

Xiadie responded, "Okay...I'll lead the way."

Afterwards, Xiadie brought everyone to the Hero Bath.

This is a high-end bath prepared to reward the heroes who saved the world, but it is not only a place for them to have fun, it is also the gateway to the end of their mission.

At this time, the guards here discovered Xiadie and their return.

The guard saluted quickly and said, "Miss Xiadie, Your Excellencies, you are back."

Xiadie responded politely, "Hello, we have something important to discuss with Lord Aglaya, please inform us."

The guard looked embarrassed and said after hesitating for a moment, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiadie...Ms. Aglaya has already told me that she is not available to receive anyone now."

Hearing this, Na Ke Xia sneered, "Oh, now she doesn't even want to see me." Then he looked at the guard, "My friend, let me ask you, did Aglaya order you to take me to prison?"

The guard was stunned by the question and asked, "Who are you?"

Xiadie hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Please stop joking, she must be really busy, let's wait a moment, I'll try to contact her using the stone tablet."

Then, Aglaya’s group chat interface popped up.

Aglaya's message came first, "I have heard the whole story of Shuting. I am grateful for your efforts. Words cannot express my gratitude. However, the world is in a mess. The Holy City has been in turmoil recently. I have been busy with various matters and have not been able to welcome you in person. I am very sorry. Moreover, I am tired from the journey and need to rest. As for the details of the incident, we can discuss it tomorrow. That's my request."

Xing quickly replied, "111 received"

Xiadie looked at the message and said to everyone, "This writing style should be from the tailor." Then he replied in the group, "Tailor, please tell Lord Aglaiya that we have been informed. We will rest today. I wish you well."

Aglaya replied, "Yes, sir." A Q-version emoticon of Aglaya thinking was also attached.

"It's a blessing that I don't have to drag my sick body to confront that woman. Xiadie, as well as these friends who I didn't have time to meet, I will take my leave today. That Titan did something to me... My head still hurts. If possible, I don't want to hang around in this noisy city for another second."

Xiadie warned, "Please be careful, Ohma is not a tree garden, here..."

Na Ke Xia added, "There are her gold threads everywhere. I know that woman is very confident and is sure that I can't escape from her clutches. Don't worry, as I said before, I will keep my composure." After saying that, he turned and left.

After Na Ke Xia left, Xia Die looked at Xing and the others, "Everyone, this trip to Shu Ting... too many unexpected things happened. We had no intention of putting you in danger, let alone facing the black tide..."

Xing smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Trouble is an old friend."

But Xiadie shook her head and smiled bitterly, and continued, "The Black Tide is the enemy of Ohma and even the entire Omphalos. In the past, the forces of strife were eyeing the Holy City, but it is undeniable that the group of war followers also blocked the Black Tide outside Xuanfeng City. Now that Nicadori's fire is absent, the Black Tide has made a comeback... As the academy city-state with the deepest research on the Black Tide, Shuting is by no means vulnerable, but it was overturned overnight, leaving the blood and tears of the heroes in the city... The trial of strife is imminent, and I hope that the Ten Thousand Enemies... can make up their minds as soon as possible."

Xing thought of the hard battle in Shuting and couldn't help but frown, "And that swordsman in black robes."

"Teacher Tibao has traveled through thousands of cities in Omfalos, but even they have no impression of this black-robed swordsman... This person must not be underestimated. He can force us to breathe with just one sword. For the Golden Race, he is undoubtedly a new threat. Lady Tibao embarked on a journey to fight against the black tide. However, since the beginning of the journey, they have never encountered such a strong enemy in the black tide. Maybe the fall of the dispute secretly aroused a more terrifying influence..."

Xiadie paused, and then said, "As for me... I detected a strong breath of death from it. It's not because it has any connection with Senatos. I'm afraid... it's simply because it has caused the deaths of countless people."

Speaking of Senatos, Xiadie looked at Xing with some hesitation, "Xing, there is one more thing I want to confirm with you. You should have known about the curse I bear."

"I was born as the shadow of death, a deadly poison that other living things avoid... But at that time, in the tree garden, when you took me, Xing... I was just curious, why were you not affected by my power?"

Xing looked puzzled, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of this. Is it because the time is too short and it hasn't worked yet?"

Xiadie shook her head. "If it was just a light touch with the fingertips, it might be explainable, but the situation at that time was... you and Lin Yu took me together... and you also touched my body..."

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's abrupt for me to ask this. After all, you may not know the reason."

"But throughout my life, I have always been thinking about what death means to me and why I am so closely connected to Senatos..."

Xiadie showed a smile that was a little bitter but full of warmth.

"But thank you so much."

"Being with you, for the first time, I can truly feel the warmth of a hug, instead of just touching a body as cold as an ice cellar as before."

"This kind of warmth is too precious to me."
