Endless Silver Machine

"This is the first time I've heard of that 'World Tree', Liuyin, do you know?"

"I seem to have heard this name somewhere before, but I don't have a deep impression..."

From Hitomi's explanation, Aika only understood that the "World Tree" she mentioned was the source of the birth of the magic suit.

I asked Liuyin, and she shook her head as if she didn't understand.

"No matter what the 'World Tree' is. Hitomi, do you mean that as long as we bring Wei Xi to the 'World Tree', we can rescue her?"

"To be precise, it's not 'rescue', but 'awakening'."

Wei Xi is not really dead. Even if this is just an unfounded speculation, I hope it can come true. And Hitomi appears here just to put the evidence in front of Aika and Liuyin.

Aika and Liuyin were not as keenly aware of the concept of magic equipment being alive as Ling, or it could be said that the successive blows prevented them from calming down to think.

Hitomi glanced at the ice coffin without trace, and continued to explain to Aika and Liuyin.

"When this world was born, the 'World Tree' already existed as the foundation in the center of this world. Her foundation constitutes the context of this world. Understood in human terms, it is the direction in which magic power gathers and disperses."

"I do seem to have heard these words somewhere..." Liuyin recalled, "It seems that a bard described them."

Bards are reciters who record the passage of hundreds of years and sing the praises of an era.

"The foundation of the 'World Tree' can both maintain the operation of this world and destroy it. During the cross-border war, magic bursts from all over the world disrupted the foundation of the 'World Tree'. The continent was torn apart, and withered leaves flew everywhere. Traveling to various regions of the world, the areas where fallen leaves are obtained form what humans call 'ruins', and we are the fallen leaves that give the magic power of the 'Yggdrasil' to the 'ruins'."

"In that case, your mother should be the 'World Tree' instead of the 'Relic'?"

"'Relics' were established after being endowed with the power of the 'World Tree'. For us... understanding it in a human way of thinking, 'Relics' is similar to the meaning of hometown."

The ruins scattered around the world have been considered the place where magic equipment was born since the cross-border war. Because most magic costumes come from relics with special powers, there does not seem to be any contradiction in this hypothesis.

Hitomi's explanation is not that difficult to understand. She had explained from the very beginning that as long as Wei Xi was brought back to the origin of the magic costume, she would be able to wake up from her current slumber.

"This is why I think the master may change the itinerary for the Snow Tide Ji. If the master finds a way to awaken the Snow Tide Ji, he will definitely hesitate about which side has priority?"

"There is no need to hesitate at all. If there is a way to wake Wei Xi up, I will definitely make it happen for her."

"But the master's strongest wishes are otherwise."

Hitomi, who knew everything in Aika's heart, allowed him to lie, but no one could lie naturally after being stared at by her with such clear eyes.

Aika is no exception.

"Even if Xue Chao Xiji continues to sleep, it will not have any impact on her body." Hitomi gently poked the corner of the ice coffin with the tip of the paper umbrella in her hand. Until now, she has not shown any affection for Wei Xi. attitude, "But I don't want you to continue to misunderstand me. Because I once promised Xue Chao Xiji that I would help her at this time."

When did Wei Xi and Hitomi make such an agreement? Only Aika knows this answer.

But this is not all of "that agreement", it can only be called an additional condition of "that agreement". Only Wei Xi and Tong knew this secret.

"Hitomi, how far is the 'World Tree' from here?"

"At the current rate, it won't get there even if it takes ten times as long."

“What if it’s ‘Yectrasil’?”

"The current speed can be increased by more than ten times, but the opportunity that the owner wants to seize may be lost."

Hitomi closed her eyes and answered him slowly. Not only Hitomi, but also Liu Yin could tell what Aika was thinking.

"Aika, do you want to go find that World Tree now?"

To be honest, Liuyin was eager to hug Wei Xi who woke up even just for a second earlier. But although the method of awakening Wei Xi sounds simple, it is definitely not a miracle that can be achieved easily.

Orefiel is currently putting the royal capital, which is about to arrive, into dire straits. If Wei Xi is really just sleeping as Tong said, the answer seems to be already available on which one is more serious.

Aika pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"Liuyin, can Weixi leave it to you temporarily?"

Liuyin, who knew what this sentence meant, was finally able to frankly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Before Xiao Xi wakes up, I will definitely protect her from any harm." Liuyin firmly promised Aika, "Although you said you were temporarily entrusting Xiao Xi to me, do you want to hand her over later? Here you go, I'm going to think about it again. To be honest, this time, I'm a little worried about you."

Liuyin was not worried that Aika would be displeased by saying this, she had to tell the truth.

It wasn't because Aika didn't protect Wei Xi, but because of his impulsive back reflected in Liu Yin's eyes after receiving successive blows.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

I don’t know if Aika understood why Liuyin felt disappointed. In short, he did not deny his failure. He just looked at the passing clouds outside the window of the airship as he spoke.

"Even so, I still have to find the Nemesis Society. It hasn't turned into the worst outcome now, and it can't change the fact that that bastard Veer hurt her. And they snatched Lolo from my hands twice, This debt must be repaid.”

"Aika..."

"So, I will not think that their crimes can be reduced because of this result. As long as they hurt my family, I will let them personally atone for it no matter where they are hiding."

The anger in Aika's heart will not be extinguished easily. As long as Wei Xi has not woken up, Luo Luo has not returned, and the hidden dangers of the Nemesis Society have not been eradicated, he will not stop.
