Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 538: Emma's Secret

"This is too risky!" In front of the coffee table in the lobby on the first floor, where Instructor Sarah likes to drink beer alone, Emma is talking quietly to someone in the dark-no, it can't be said to be in the dark completely, because Something was glowing slightly between Emma's palm. And under the faint light at night, the shadow of a cat flickered, "If that "trial" hurts an innocent person—"

"I told you that it's impossible. My mother-in-law had said that the "trial" would not affect unrelated people. Didn’t you hear them say that the big guy never attacked that girl? "The black cat said nonchalantly, "Emma, ​​you are too indecisive... Don't talk about catching up with Vita if you go on like this, even if it's the task the mother-in-law confesses--"

"I've always paid attention to the task! It's you, Sereno, you are not allowed to do this kind of thing anymore?" Emma was angry, apparently the black cat named Sereno offended the good old man with his careless attitude. "If there is another time, I will write to my mother-in-law and let it take you back."

"...Okay, okay, I see." It seems that I still want to open my mouth to refute something-but with the cat's excellent eyesight, Sereno still saw the stubborn expression on Emma's face, and had to admit defeat, "But you I have to pay more attention to it...the time is already very tight. If you can't wake up the "activator" quickly..."

In the following words, Serenu did not continue. But Emma clearly understood, and the sadness reappeared on her face.

"Okay...it's too early. You have to rest tomorrow, right?" After a while of silence, the black cat stepped forward gracefully, "I will leave here to find a place to live. You... , Pay more attention."

With that, Serenu jumped out of the window and walked towards the lawn deep in the night.

"Ah..." Serenu left, leaving Emma alone in a daze. For a long time, she let out a long sigh.

"What makes the squad leader so hard to think about?" Heliga suddenly had a mischievous mind, he deliberately put his lips to Emma's ear and said softly. The magic that he had been spreading the cloak of shadow just now quietly listened to the two of them—one person and one cat—to be precise, until he confirmed that Serenu had gone away and would not be back tonight. , This is the appearance.

Originally, he just wanted to pretend to come down to find water to drink, and happened to happen. But for some reason, he suddenly had a mischievous mentality and wanted to see how Emma was frightened.

"Ah!" Sure enough, Emma let out a sharp scream-but then her mouth was tightly covered behind her back with her hands.

"Calm down... don't wake everyone up." Heliga said softly, and then a magic light was released from the other hand. The ball of light emitting silver-white light slowly floated in the middle of the room. With the brighter light, Emma saw Heliga's shadow-eyes full of incredible.

"Have you calmed down? That's good." Maybe it was because an acquaintance in the class made this abrupt move, and Emma's vigilance also dropped a lot. After confirming that Emma would not yell out of control like that again, Heliga also let go of her hand holding Emma.

"Relaxed your vigilance? Huh?" Heliga chuckled, "Should the witch clan be able to soundproof the barrier technique?"

"You..." Emma was even more surprised, "How do you know--"

"Not only do I know that you are a member of the "Witch" clan, but I also know that the black cat just now is your envoy—and your mission here...or in other words, the mission your elder assigned to you is to find And cultivate a "riding **** starter", and guide him to participate in the completion of hundreds of years of reincarnation and the battle of fate. right? "

"Why do you know this?" Emma is very strange, the curiosity in her heart is more than surprise at this moment, "This should be..."

"It should be top secret? Right." Heliga chuckled, "Yeah...Rosilia... said the same."

"You... are you an acquaintance of your mother-in-law?" Emma covered her mouth in surprise—not everyone knows the name.

"Ah... for the time being." Heliga said vaguely. Although this is not the case, it is still necessary for Emma to maintain a sense of awe for herself in a short period of time-it is more convenient to say, "During the day I tried to destroy the gate with the huge stone statue...your elder came forward to stop me."

"So... Was it the mother-in-law's secret method at that time?" Emma felt relieved and understood some weird phenomena when Heliga was using her power when she was on the fourth underground floor in the afternoon, and she felt a little breath from her mother-in-law. But in this way, the wise Emma noticed another thing: "But that means the mother-in-law acquiesce that you can destroy the gate..."

"It's easy." Heliga smiled with a deliberately contemptuous smile-in fact it was originally. You don't even need the power of the dragon roar, you only need the magic energy to gather to a certain level, and you can directly penetrate the seemingly indestructible gate.

"..." Emma was noncommittal, but obviously all the evidence pointed to this, and she had no reason to be unbelief.

"Okay...Don't be nervous. I've heard all of your conversations just now... It looks like your envoy acted against your will and acted autonomously because of his eagerness for quick success and quick gain, right?"

"...Yes." Emma lowered her head. "But... I am also responsible for disregarding Lien's sister..."

"It's good if you have that kind of heart... I will treat this matter as if I haven't seen it for the time being. You should apologize to him if you have a chance in the future." Heliga nodded, and Heliga could also hear Emma from the conversation just now. The essence is not bad, it's just that it's not mature in every sense-how similar it is to me back then.

I am a typical mentality development superior to strength-but no matter what ambition it is, it needs strength as a foundation. As a witch, Emma's strength is obviously not as good as that of her mother-in-law, nor is it as good as that of Vita whom they mentioned several times in their chat.

Regardless, Heliga has heard of the name "Vita".

According to Levi's previous statement, the second apostle of the "Association", "The Abyss of the Blue", Vita Chlotide, has accepted the order of the leader to participate in the next step in the "Orpheus Project." The next step Levi pointed out was the Erebonian Empire.

His actions at Krossberg were like some preparations for the empire—this was Heliga’s first impression.

But now, Heliga finally seized the opportunity to ask about the reason behind this and the intelligence of possible enemies.

However, as soon as I spoke, an unexpected result happened——
