Chapter 156 Erinus
When Qiuhe came out of the house, she saw Qiu Shanshan standing not far away, leaning against the wall with her head down. Jidi and Weiss were on either side of her. Qiuhe slowly walked over.
"What do you want?" Hearing Qiu He's words, Qiu Shanshan looked up and saw Qiu He's indifferent expression. Looking at that face, Qiu Shanshan didn't know why...
Qiu Shanshan felt that Qiu He seemed different from before, as if he had become much colder, but in the end, she didn't think too much about it.
Thinking about Lily's current state, Qiuhe and the others must be very sad, so it's understandable that Qiuhe is feeling down.
"Qiuhe, didn't Lily go for training? Why did she turn out like this? And..." Qiu Shanshan couldn't help but swallow hard as she said this.
"Why is it that only Lily came back? Where is Rocky?" Qiuhe seemed a little confused when he heard about Rocky, but then it was as if he had thought of something.
"Little Rocky, is that the name of the child who fought Lily?" Qiu Shanshan nodded after hearing this, and Qiu He asked as well.
"Are you close to that kid?" Qiu Shanshan nodded and then shook her head after hearing Qiu He's question. "I know that Little Rocky is a member of the Kenshin Squad."
But my relationship with him wasn't actually that close. It's just that Lily and he got along quite well. He always called Lily "sister" when they were together.
During training at Hearth House, whenever the two of them faced off, I could tell Lily would always deliberately go easy on them, but the little brother...
Although he was improving each time, his swordsmanship remained somewhat clumsy; no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't even touch Lily.
As she said this, Qiu Shanshan smiled slightly, "Sometimes, watching how they interact, if you didn't know better, you'd really think they were siblings."
Hearing Qiu Shanshan say this, Qiu He suddenly remembered something. "Your name is Lily, right? Don't worry, I won't make you suffer much. I'll take care of you quickly. I'll remember your great kindness for the rest of my life."
Thinking of this, Qiu He suddenly gave a very sarcastic laugh. Qiu Shanshan, seeing Qiu He's sarcastic laugh for a moment, also felt somewhat puzzled.
"He really is a good younger brother. 'Sister, sister, sister,' what an innocent and intimate way to address someone. I just wonder if it's truly from the heart."
Still, I can't remember his name, haha. He's a cute and lovable, clumsy little brother who always needs his sister's help. Yet, in a life-or-death battle against his powerful sister, he manages to emerge unscathed while delivering deadly blows, relentlessly pushing her to the brink of defeat.
"Hmph, what a good younger brother." Qiu Shanshan didn't understand Qiu He's self-talk at all. After Qiu He sighed, he continued:
"Don't think about that child anymore. He won't be appearing again." Hearing Qiuhe say this, and considering Lily's injuries...
Qiu Shanshan understood, but her eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief. "Why is this happening?" she murmured to herself.
Qiu He walked up to Qiu Shanshan and said, "Since you chose to stay, you have to pay the price for that choice."
Instead of pondering these incomprehensible things here, we should focus on training,” Qiuhe said, then turned and strolled away, adding as he left:
"Let me give you a piece of advice: put away that useless kindness, or you might become the next older sister. Also, remember what I said before..."
If you ever face difficult choices in the future, think carefully about the promises you made to the lady. Also, it's best if you don't end up on the opposite side of us.
Back in the room, Kailer saw Qiuhe return and asked, "The situation happened ahead of schedule. What should we do next? Do we still need to go find that sword?"
Looking at Lily lying on the bed and Clementine slumped beside her, completely dejected, Qiuhe pondered for a long time before making his decision.
"Once Lily has fully recovered, the plan will be redefined. The Hearth House has not notified or explicitly stated that we cannot leave the house, so there are no restrictions on our activities for the time being."
"As long as we don't betray the Hearth House, we shouldn't get into trouble." Tian Yaochen, who was standing nearby, chimed in after hearing their conversation.
“We need to redefine the plan, but what about rescuing Katarina and what about Ann?” Qiuhe asked, also speaking up.
"My initial purpose in finding the Narcissus Holy Sword was to use it against Kujavina, but now I know that finding that holy sword is meaningless."
As for our previous promises to them, we are now in dire straits ourselves, and besides, although Mello Petersburg is a prison for detaining criminals...
But the prisoners there are not mistreated; everyone earns their living through labor and has no worries about food and clothing. So instead of worrying about others,
"We should worry about ourselves instead." With that, Qiuhe went to Clay's side and gently pulled the dejected Clay into his arms.
After Qiuhe finished speaking, everyone remained silent. After all, it was indeed the truth. The game of kings had begun, and one could easily become a stepping stone for someone else to become king.
There was simply no time to think about how to fulfill those unnecessary promises, and just then, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over Qiuhe.
Feeling dizzy and disoriented, Akikawa covered his forehead with his hand, while Kree, standing beside him, also noticed Akikawa's unusual condition.
"Le Yi, what's wrong?" Only then did everyone around notice that Qiu He was having problems, and they all came forward to help. At that moment, Qiu He...
Not only did I feel a wave of dizziness, but I also felt as if something was writing in my brain—several lines of writing emitting a dark purple glow.
At the same time, the handwriting was quite blurry, yet it appeared in Qiuhe's mind. "There are...words." Everyone around was puzzled upon hearing this.
At that moment, Kailer pulled out her notebook. "Lei, Lei, can you hear me?" Kailer said, shoving a pen into Qiuhe's hand.
"What did you see? Can you write it down?" Hearing Kailer's words, Qiuhe also felt the few lines of text in his mind rapidly disappearing.
It seemed as if something was deliberately obstructing him, trying to prevent him from seeing it, and was quickly erasing it. As the writing became increasingly blurred, Qiuhe could only find it in the notebook.
After leaving behind just a few words, and as the lines of text emitting a dark purple light completely disappeared from Qiuhe's mind, the dizziness he felt subsided.
It had completely disappeared. Seeing Qiuhe's relaxed expression, Kree and the others were relieved. Then, everyone looked at the few words Qiuhe had written in the notebook.
But after looking at it, everyone was puzzled. The words Qiuhe had written in the notebook were crooked and illegible, making it impossible to decipher what he was writing.
As Qiuhe looked at the words on the page, he also tried to recall the words in his mind, and then, relying on those chaotic memories...
The crooked characters in the notebook were translated, and this time everyone could see the four large characters clearly, but before they could even memorize them...
Suddenly, Qiuhe slammed his hand on the notebook, then tore out the page with writing on it. Under the bewildered gazes of everyone, including Qiuhe himself...
Qiuhe tore the paper into countless pieces. Everyone, including Qiuhe's own people, was completely dumbfounded. Tian Yaochen also looked at Qiuhe with a face full of question marks.
"Uh... Le Yi, what are you doing..." Qiu He looked at his hands in shock, completely unaware of what he was doing. "I... I don't know..."
"Just now, my hand moved on its own," Qiuhe said, all he knew was that something had controlled his hand to tear the paper into pieces.
Qiuhe then asked the others, "Did any of you see what was written on that piece of paper?" Everyone looked somewhat perplexed upon hearing this.
After all, Qiuhe had just translated those words, and everyone had only just seen that there were four characters written on the page when Qiuhe immediately covered the words with one hand and tore the paper apart.
“I saw it. It says ‘Erinas,’” said Kelly, pointing out what was written on the paper. Everyone else was puzzled.
Having absolutely no idea what Erinas was, Qiuhe was also puzzled, but his puzzlement didn't stem from not knowing who Erinas was.
The real question was why he had written Erinus's name on the paper, since Erinus seemed to have no connection to him whatsoever. At that moment, everyone looked at Qiuhe.
Thinking about what answer Qiuhe could give, and seeing everyone's gazes, Qiuhe spoke up: "I know who Erinas is."
However, he doesn't seem to be of any help to us in our current situation, and I've never encountered him before. He's a magical beast from Fontaine that could have been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Everyone was completely baffled by this. If this man named Erinus was already dead and hadn't offered them any help whatsoever, then...
Why did Qiuhe write his name down? After thinking for a long time, Qiuhe finally realized something. "That's right, back when we were on Blue Star..."
Some mobile game streamers seem to have mentioned that Erinath is one of the magical beasts of Kanria, meaning that, like Durin, it is a creation of the Golden Rhinedoth.
Could it be that this passage was written in my memory by Dulin?
