Eighth Crown

There are signs of destruction everywhere, and there is a subtle sense of desolation.

After entering the town, the people on the side of the road cast their surprised eyes, surrounded each other, pointed and whispered to them.

"In order to prevent scaring the aborigines, we turned off the communication first."

Sherlock Holmes warned several people: "Remember, ask the information about the fantasy tree and Almighty God as clearly as possible."

After passing each other's breath, Holmes turned off the communication.

"It seems that everyone is wary of us."

The two ceremonies looked at the passers-by around them. Those people were not repelling them, but they were not very friendly, and it was not easy to talk to them.

Is it because of the traces of damage? Causing vigilance against outsiders?

"Ask the little girl over there."

Fujimaru Rika's eyes swept across the people on the side of the road, and finally stopped on a little girl.

"Hello, may I ask you something?"

She walked over and deliberately squatted down to make her height appear slightly lower than the girl's line of sight, with a friendly smile on her face, and asked her gently.

It was a girl in a red coat. Although her skin was dark, her facial features were well coordinated. Her big dark eyes looked piercing, and her eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at them. No one else felt wary of them.

"Wow! Big sister is talking to me? I'm really shocked!"

The girl looked about eleven or twelve years old, when she saw Fujimaru Rika approaching, she was slightly stunned, tilting her head and showing an unsuspecting pure smile.

"What a lovely child, what's your name?"

Fujimaru Rika also laughed and asked her with a light smile.

"My name is Aixia, where's eldest sister?"

"My name is Lixiang, please give me more advice!"

After a while, Fujimaru Rika was already talking and laughing with the girl named Aisha.

If she is also a Heroic Spirit, then the skill called Affinity must be full, maybe it is EX level.

"Aixia sauce, do you know when the big tree in the sky appeared?"

Fujimaru Tachika and the little girl teased for a while, then got to the point, her expression gradually became serious, and she asked Aisha.

"The big tree?"

Aixia blinked her big dark eyes, touched her lips with her fingers, and thought about it.

"That one appeared not long ago. When Aisha woke up one day, she jumped out in shock! Dad said that the tree should be far away, so you can't go over there to play, it must be a miracle of the gods, right? ?"

"Not long ago, how long ago? A few months ago?"

Fujimaru Rika continued to ask after thinking.

"Moon? What is that?"

Aixia looked at her in confusion, her eyes turning into crescents from a smile.

"Big sister really knows a lot of things that Aixia doesn't know, I'm really shocked!"

There is no such concept as year and month.

The Nordic Lostbelt is also in the same situation, so Fujimaru Rika can be considered experienced.

"How many days ago did that appear?"

"Um... about two hundred days ago? Because about twenty Yujia have passed since then!"

more than two hundred days ago.

Basically, at the end of 2017, the time is indeed right. The fantasy tree here is the same as before. On the day the Lostbelt appeared on Earth, it was brought over by the hiders and fell into the inside of the Lostbelt. .

But what is Yujia?

"Aisha, what are you doing there?"

Before Fujimaru Rika could ask the question, a very cold-sounding voice entered their ears.

Looking at the sound, a black-skinned man in black and white burlap appeared in the field of vision, and strode to the front of several people.

"dad!"

The girl named Aixia suddenly showed a happy smile, trotted to his side, and hugged his waist.

"Hello, it's Aisha-chan's father, right, my name is—"

Fujimaru Rika stood up and straightened her clothes.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in your name, and I don't want to be involved in trouble."

The man coldly rejected Fujimaru Rika's self-introduction, and planned to turn around and leave with Aisha.

His attitude was several times more cautious than that of the other villagers. He didn't know what he had experienced. He seemed to have a sense of alertness when he looked at everything, and he was too indifferent to a girl with a high level of affinity like Fujimaru Rika.

"Wait a moment."

Before they left, Liu Xia suddenly spoke up.

"I don't think your family is rich. As long as I can answer some of our questions, I can pay you and make sure you are satisfied, how about that?"

Lucia couldn't see his clothes.

But by looking through the world, he could find that the man's upper body muscles were still well developed, especially his hands, his grip strength was quite strong, which should have been exercised by years of labor.

"How much?"

The man stopped, thought for a moment, did not refuse immediately, but asked tentatively.

"I don't know what the money looks like on your side, but gems should be considered hard currency... Are these enough?"

Liu Xia opened a golden ripple, grabbed a handful of gems of different colors, and even a ruby ​​emerged from his fingers and fell on the masonry floor, making a crisp sound.

Fujimaru Rika, who was on the side, stared straight at her. She was a little obsessed with money and almost couldn't hold back her expression, begging Liuxia to give her gems.

"Gem! So many!"

The black-skinned young man was taken aback for a moment, unable to maintain his cold demeanor.

"...Okay, you come to my house, but I will only answer some questions and will not give you any extra help. Please remember this."

The man hesitated for a moment, glanced at Aixia beside him, gritted his teeth, and agreed.

In a few days, it will be Aixia's 4,000-day birth anniversary.

He chops wood every day, so it's hard to make a lot of money, but if he has these gems, he will definitely give Aisha a very lively commemorative banquet.

He wanted to refuse, but Liu Xia gave too much!

"no problem."

Lucia nodded indifferently and agreed.

"I want half of the gem first."

The man thought for a while, and added another condition, intending to ask for a deposit first.

"It's okay to give it all to you."

Liu Xia didn't care at all, and agreed.

The man was immediately startled.

Is this seemingly blind man so rich? And the way to withdraw money from Ripples just now is even more unheard of... Did they get involved?

After seeing Liu Xia being so forthright, the man felt a little regretful.

But after looking down at Aisha's big watery eyes, he paused, but he still made up his mind.

"You come with me."

He glanced around at the amazed and envious crowd looking at the gem in Liu Xia's hand, gave a low drink to a few people, then lined up the crowd and walked away.

"Let's go."

Liuxia ignored the surrounding townspeople and walked in the direction the man left.
