Cloud Thinking

Helia could actually hear the noises from the outside world. She heard what Clemini said, and she also heard other magicians arguing and blaming each other, but she still couldn't wake up and was sleeping soundly.

She could feel extreme pain in her head and chest, as if nails had pierced through her body and nailed her in. The intense pain made her perception particularly clear.

Moreover, there was a powerful attraction in these two places, which firmly grasped her soul and pulled her to stay in his body.

The cold magic power flowed in from the outside, forming small vortices in these two places on the body, concentrating the magic power in her body there and stabilizing her soul.

"What's there to argue about? You're a bunch of blind men. Something could happen even if someone is right under your nose. If you have the energy to argue here, you might as well save the time and explain to Claude later."

Elroy's sharp tongue was comparable to Helia's. One sentence instantly killed the crowd. Although he was not the strongest or the most powerful person present, others did not dare to treat him casually because of his status as a descendant of the elves.

"I have done everything I can. It will take some time to stabilize the soul, so just take care of it." Clemini withdrew his magic power and looked at Elroy. "I will come and take a look tomorrow morning. If there is nothing else, I will not stay any longer."

"Tsk! Are you in such a hurry to go back and tinker with your vegetable garden? I wonder what's so good about those vegetables..." Elroy complained, but did not force him to stay.

Clemini was just like that, with a naturally cold personality, and he only cared about his own little piece of land. If Elroy had not obtained a magic book in his early years, which contained records of magic for controlling cabbage worms, the two of them would probably have had no connection at all.

"Aren't you going to wait for His Majesty Claude to come? We don't understand the situation and it's hard to explain..." Freddy saw Clemini was about to leave with his things, and at the signal of others around him, he stepped forward to stop him.

"The situation is just as you said. Helia sneaked into the sea of ​​consciousness of the pagans and was ambushed. Her soul cannot return to her body. I have already put a requiem nail in her body. Once her soul stabilizes, she will wake up." Clemini briefly recounted the events and walked around Freddy to leave. "As for how long it will take for her to wake up, it depends on Helia herself. I have made it very clear. Do you have any other questions?"

"Is the soul unable to return to the body due to pagan reasons, or is it a problem with Her Royal Highness the Princess herself?" Britney asked.

Clemini looked at Britney meaningfully, as if to say: There is finally a smart person here.

"It's Helia's own fault. I've said before that there are four different powers in her body, and the power of war is the strongest among them."

"Her body was originally in a state of power balance. Now that the soul has been pulled out, the balance has been broken, and other forces are trying to fight for dominance of the body."

"This time, I was watching over her, and that person restrained himself, so no disaster happened. From now on, never allow Helia's soul or consciousness to leave her body again. This is my advice."

After saying this, Clemini did not stay for a moment and turned around and left without mercy.

The rest of the magicians fell into a strange silence. Most of them actually knew about Helia's special situation, and only a small number of newcomers were not qualified to understand it.

This team of high-level magicians not only served Claude, but also protected Helia. They all owed Madeline a favor or benefited from Claude to some extent.

Madeline's last wish was to protect Helia and let her grow up safely, but thinking back carefully to what Helia had gone through over the years...

Damn it, they really are too ashamed to face Madeleine’s spirit in heaven.

Just when everyone was silent, Grammy, who had just been cueed to yell, suddenly asked a question:

"Four powers? How can there be four powers in the princess' body? Besides her own and the one for war, what are the other two?"

"One of them is the fallen sky god Adalesi, who signed a symbiotic contract by accident." Britney explained, "As for the other one, I'm not sure either. You'll have to ask the little princess."

"Oh my god... How come there is another god of the sky? Why is he so popular among the gods..." Grammy touched his shiny head, which was covered in oil, and then touched his thick and lush beard.

"The seal left by Madeline has been lifted. The little princess is now a favorite in the eyes of the gods. Right now, Order, Light, Evil, Luck, Time, Wisdom, and Fertility have all intervened. There is also a false god watching. Her Highness Helia is in a dangerous situation." Britney spoke of the reality in a heavy tone. "Last time it was the black magicians and cultists, this time it's the pagans, what about next time?"

"Will she be so lucky next time?"

"Everyone, don't forget why you are gathered here."

After Carlisle handed Helia over to Britney, he was politely stopped outside the door. The scene inside the house was something he could not know in his current position, and he was not yet qualified to participate in it.

He did not leave immediately, but leaned against the wall of the corridor diagonally opposite, so that he could see who was coming out at the first sight.

He thought carefully about everything that had happened since he met Helia, trying to analyze the intentions of Helia's behavior. However, no matter how hard he thought, he could not find any logic in Helia's behavior, which could almost be described as casual.

She seems to do whatever she wants and does things based on her mood. You have no way of guessing what mood she will be in or what she wants to do at any given time.

The sound of the door opening called his attention back. He looked up and met Clemini's purple eyes. His gaze shifted slightly and fell on the other's eye-catching white short hair.

"Please take me to where you found Helia," Clemini ordered.

Although he said that he didn't care and wanted to go back to rest, he didn't know what he thought of in the less than ten meters from Helia's bed to the door. After opening the door, he met Carlisle's gaze and gave him an order in a tone that could not be refused.

Although he did not know Clemini, with his shrewd eyes, he immediately judged that the other party was not a simple character, and was even more noble than the Magic Corps.

"this way please."

Carlisle kept a low profile and led the group back until they were stopped by Philodosiya at the entrance to the basement.

"No one is allowed to enter without the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Filodosia looked up at the two uninvited guests with neither humility nor arrogance, one hand on the sword at her waist.

There were still horrific strangulation marks on her neck, and she knew clearly who had caused them. But she still obeyed that person's orders, stayed here diligently, and kept the secret for her.

"Helia is now in a coma, and I'm here to find out the reason. You don't want to let me in, that's fine, but if Helia remains unconscious, it will have nothing to do with me." Clemini said coldly, his face actually matched his ice-attributed magic - inhuman coldness.

But Firodoxia seemed to not understand what they were saying. She pushed the scabbard open with her thumb, stared at them fiercely, and repeated stubbornly: "No one is allowed to enter without your Highness's order."

Carlisle frowned, somewhat puzzled by the little girl's behavior. At such a critical moment, did she know what she was doing?

He took a step forward and was about to use force to suppress the other party and force them to cooperate, but was stopped by Clemini who raised his hand lightly.

"Okay, I don't care. Since Helia has her own ideas, she'd better be able to bear the consequences of her choice." Clemini left after saying this, without any intention of pursuing the matter to the end, as if this trip was just boring and he left naturally because he was disappointed.

Carlisle glanced at Clemini's back which was gradually blending into the night, then looked back at Philodosia who was still staring at him like a little wolf. For a moment he didn't know what to do next.

"I discovered Her Highness Helia's rioting magic, chased her here, and rescued you from her."

He forced an approachable smile and gently explained everything he knew, attempting to lower the little girl's guard and see if he could get any useful information out of her by way of saving her life.

"I used healing magic on you, but you fell into a coma, and Her Highness Helia was in a critical condition. She was sweating and cold, and her breathing became weak. I had no choice but to take people to find a doctor and leave you here alone."

Firodoxia tilted her head, the vigilance in her eyes did not dissipate at all, and even intensified. "What do you want to say?"

Claire acted like a caring older brother and leaned slightly closer to Philodoxia, "I'm just worried about you." After saying that, he pretended to raise his hand to touch her head, but Philodoxia dodged him.

"If you want to blackmail me by using the grace of saving my life, then I advise you to get as far away as possible. My life was given by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even if she wants to take it away, I have no regrets and am willing to do so."

Philodosiya was resolute. Even though the person standing in front of her was her savior, she still stood on Helia's side and carried out her orders as if they were the truth.

Seeing that his polite words didn't work, Carlisle's expression suddenly became serious. He stood up and looked down at the girl whose head barely reached his chest. "I am Carlisle, the leader of the Royal Knights. I am here under the order of His Majesty Claude to investigate this matter. If you don't get out of the way, I will enforce your order."

Firodoxia sneered, "If it was really His Majesty's order, why would you be allowed to come alone? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child who can be fooled?"

"Also, I am the servant of Her Royal Highness Princess Helia, and I only obey Her Royal Highness' orders."

What a loyal subordinate.

Carlisle didn't know what kind of magic potion Helia had given to this little girl that could make her risk her life for her and be as loyal to her as a dog.

Since it is a vicious dog that only understands its master's orders, there is no need to persuade it with sweet words.

"The matter of the pagans is of great importance. It not only involves the personal safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also endangers everyone in the palace. I have the right to investigate and collect evidence."

"If you continue to interfere, don't blame me for being rude."

Carlyle knew very well that the three most useful things in the world were power, money and strength. The latter could be exchanged for the former, and similarly, the former could be obtained through soft or hard means such as bribery and coercion. However, those who could get money and power generally had strength.

He used to hate those people who abused their power to oppress others the most, but he never expected that one day he would become the person he hated the most.

Maybe he doesn't hate it, but he is extremely jealous and envious of what others can have but he can't, so the moment he gets it, he turns into the face he once hated the most.

"Unless I die, no one can set foot here without the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Philodosiya was as stubborn as a donkey, which made it difficult for Carlisle to deal with her.

But it's not impossible. With his strength, he can knock the kid down in minutes and then force his way in.

Just as he was about to take action, a voice that was not familiar but gentle enough sounded, "Wait--"

Carlisle turned around and saw Stella wearing a loose beige dress with long blonde hair. She stared at him with a pair of sapphire eyes with a hint of anger, and walked towards him step by step with a soothing scent.
