Cloud Thinking

When Helia and her group followed Ian Hill's footsteps and rushed in, the few people looked at each other and roughly guessed what was going on.

After being a rat in the gutter for so long, the thing I’m best at now is escaping.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the five people immediately separated and ran in different directions, apparently planning to run away as many as possible.

But there were also a god's messenger who turned a blind eye and didn't help, three ninth-level magicians, three magic swordsmen, and Helia, whose strength was unknown but whose fighting power was sufficient.

If this can make them run away, I will be ridiculed by the public for ten years if I tell others about it.

"Your Highness Helia! Don't you want to know who was responsible for what happened back then?"

The oldest of the five people, the gray-haired old man, was probably the current head of the Fitros family. After being tied up, his eyes rolled around cunningly and he started shouting at the top of his voice, as if he wanted to negotiate with Helia.

"You old fool." Helia had no good qualities of respecting the elderly and loving the young. She slapped the old man in the face, tightening his loose skin.

"Based on what you did before, you can't save your life even if you have ten heads. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me, a fugitive who dares to set his sights on this princess?"

Helia looked at Ansel on the side and motioned for him to come on, "You have many ways to torture people, you come on."

She has always been a vengeful person, and she always bears grudges. Even if it was just a small incident that happened in her childhood, she might still remember it until she was in the coffin.

Many times she remained silent about certain things, but it didn't mean that she had forgotten or let it go. Instead, she was thinking about how to retaliate a hundredfold.

Not to mention that this group of people made the young original owner suffer so much, almost torturing her to the point of becoming a madman. Just for the sake of the original owner, she would never let these guys go easily.

Now that she can't deal with Wisdom, can't she catch a few fugitives who have committed treason?

If she treats him with care, won't people think she is an easy target? Anyone can then ride on her neck and step on her. How will she be able to live like this?

Not to mention, as a beloved princess of the empire, she represents the face of the royal family. How could she allow others to trample on her at will?

Ansel looked around, a little disappointed, "There's nothing useful here. If Aya is not in a hurry, why don't you let me take the person back?"

He had a special torture chamber to detain and interrogate those tough-talking guys. No matter how powerful a person was, once he went in, he would not be able to get out without suffering heavy injuries.

Of course, basically no one who goes in can come out upright.

A guy without secrets certainly has no value in living.

Of course, the old man had heard of Ansel's name. It should be said that everyone living in Kenleka knows about Tasle and Ansel, the youngest leader of Tasle.

He was not afraid of Helia, but of Ansel. When he heard that he was going to be handed over to Ansel, the old man became anxious.

"Your Highness Helia! Don't you want to know why you were kidnapped twelve years ago? Don't you want to know what you went through back then? Don't you want to know why Camelin approached you?"

"If you kill me, kill us, no one in this world will be able to tell you the truth! You will be kept in the dark forever, and walk into the trap set by that person without knowing it!"

"As long as you are willing to spare our lives, I promise to tell you everything!"

Helia thought he was being noisy but was too lazy to do anything, so she glared at Ansel impatiently and motioned for him to take action, but this complaint turned into coquetry in his eyes.

Ansel smiled, then pinched the lower half of the old man's face with one hand, forcing him to shut his mouth, and then threw him against the wall. The dull sound echoed in the quiet little house, which seemed a little scary.

Along the way, he had no chance to show off his abilities. After all, there was still a barrier between ordinary people and magicians. He could not intervene in the battles between magicians and even became a so-called burden.

Of course, he would play some tricks and try to gain Helia's sympathy and love by showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful, but he couldn't really add unnecessary burden to Helia.

He can pretend to be weak, but he can't really be weak.

Ansel didn't stop until the old man was completely silent. After he confirmed that the man was still breathing, he shook his hand away in disgust and threw him aside, leaving a bloody stain on the wall. The other four people were so scared that they dared not say a word.

But Helia and her group had indifferent faces, and their expressions were as calm as if they were already used to this kind of thing, without a trace of sympathy.

"Search and see if you can find anything useful." Helia rubbed her wrist and ordered, "We'll call it a day after the search and take the people back."

After going through so much today, even Helia, who had eaten the dragon heart and had her physique strengthened, felt physically and mentally exhausted, let alone others.

Everyone moved quickly, packing up some suspicious or seemingly useful items they had collected and preparing to retreat.

Ian Hill left early, and disappeared in an instant when no one was paying attention. Otherwise, Helia would probably want to get rid of these guys on the spot to avoid any more trouble.

Helia had long thought that teleportation magic was very convenient, but unfortunately, for one reason or another, she had never been able to learn it.

She has some affinity with teleportation magic, but not much.

Now seeing Ian Hill coming and going freely, she would be lying if she said she was not envious. When she thought of her ability to devour, she couldn't help licking her lips and swallowing hard.

It would be nice if I could eat it, it would be even better if I could keep it for myself...

As for the young woman who was accidentally awakened by Helia, she thought that although this guy was still a little stupid, she at least had self-awareness and could not be destroyed at will like other test subjects that were not yet fully mature, so she took her back.

Moreover, Helia was still very interested in her secrets, and so was Alfie.

The so-called experimental subject that is comparable to the body of a god, even if it is a "premature baby", is still worthy of in-depth study.

Perhaps we can research something that can improve elemental affinity, and then we will be remembered in the history of the magic world.

Helia and Alfie named her Evelina, which means life.

Helia had a lot of things to do, so she didn't even have time to educate little Philo, let alone another Evelina.

So she handed her over to Alfie, asking him to take in Evelina as her adopted sister.

Something happened at the Magic Association's branch in the imperial capital, so Alfie had to leave early. Before they parted, Helia took the time to see him off.

"Sir Alfie, regarding Evelina, this is a secret between the two of us. I hope you can keep it well." Helia raised her index finger to her lips. Although she had a smile on her face, anyone could hear the hidden threat in her words.

No matter how powerful the Magic Association is, it is not greater than the imperial power, not to mention that Helia is not an ordinary person at all.

If he exposed Evelina's matter to others, he wouldn't even have to wait for Helia to teach him a lesson, as the people above him would not let him off easily.

He doesn't have the ability to go against the royal family and the gods in heaven at the same time.

"Of course." Alfie nodded in agreement. He glanced at Evelina who was standing aside waiting obediently, and smiled. "Regarding Evelina, if there is any new progress in the research later, I will report it to Your Highness as soon as possible."

The reason for regular reporting is that this research requires Helia's support. After all, in order to maintain confidentiality, the resources of the Magic Association cannot be used casually. Although he has a family backing, it is definitely not as generous as the royal family.

Helia provides him with resources and cover, so he can concentrate on researching the projects he is interested in. It is a win-win situation, so why not do it?

Evelina heard her name and looked over curiously.

After a few days of "training", Evelina has gotten rid of her status as a smart copycat and no longer repeats what others say. But she still maintains a great curiosity about everything around her and learns silently.

This is also one of the reasons why Helia didn't bring anyone with her. The palace was in a mess and she didn't have time to take care of it. It would be terrible if Evelina learned bad things from her.

It would be better to send her to a better environment and let her slowly learn how to be a human being and how to live. At least, she should not live without dignity like a test subject at the mercy of others.

"Well, if you need anything, just contact me." Helia raised her hand and rubbed Evelina's head. She seemed to like her very much and rubbed Helia's hand twice.

"Then we'll leave first. Your Highness, take care." Alfie said goodbye and urged Evelina to get on the carriage, but Evelina, who was experiencing separation for the first time, was a little at a loss.

My chest feels sore and uncomfortable.

When she met Helia's smile, her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she didn't want to move.

She tried to stare at Helia with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to engrave this scene into her mind.

In the end, Helia stepped forward and took Evelina's hand, patting it gently in a comforting manner, "Don't worry, we will have a chance to meet again later."

Evelina held Helia's hand, stroking it gently, and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

It was not until Alfie urged her that she raised her head again, mustered up her courage, tiptoed closer to Helia, and placed a kiss on her left cheek. She blushed in embarrassment at Helia's shocked gaze.

"You're fine. I like you." Evelina explained, then let go of her hand and waved goodbye to Helia as she stepped back. "Goodbye."

Alfie: ……???

I don't see why Helia is so popular? She's not a man or a woman...

Only after the people and the carriage had gone far away did Helia thoughtfully touch her left cheek that had been kissed, and asked in confusion, "Who did you learn this from?"

"Maybe it's me?"

Ansel, who had just finished his work, came out from the side and stood close to Helia. Because he was tall and very close to her, he could just lower his head slightly and put his ear close to Helia's.

The kiss that Helia had given as a reward seemed to have unlocked some seal. Ever since that day, Ansel would find every opportunity to get close to Helia, occasionally even going so far as to rub her face or ask for rewards.

"Tsk! Get out of here!" Helia pushed him away speechlessly, but she didn't use much force. At least in Ansel's opinion, it was just flirting.

Not only is Tasile called Half King in Kenleka, but what makes Helia even more excited is that this organization enjoys a great reputation in the southern continent. The people of the southern continent may not obey the imperial edict, but they will not disobey the rules set by Tasile.

She will definitely go to the Southern Continent, so Ansel will be very useful.

She was even secretly happy that Ansel was interested in her, otherwise she wouldn't know what kind of benefits she could use to exchange for his help.

Regarding Ian Hill's matter, Helia only said that a temporary cooperation was reached after negotiations, and did not explain in detail.

First, it was unnecessary. Even if the others figured out the whole story, what would it be of any use? If Ian Hill really wanted to do something, they couldn't stop him at all, nor could they provide much help, so there was no need to involve them.

Second, there is no need. Helia is the superior, the one who gives orders. She is free to do whatever she wants. She does not need to explain her whereabouts to others or the reasons for such orders.

As for Tang Yaoxing——

He did not try to stop the seeds from being destroyed, nor did he take the initiative to talk to Helia after they were destroyed. Even when those people from the Fitros family were tortured half to death, He did not take any action.

Helia vaguely guessed the reason why the other party led her to Kenleka.

Perhaps Tang Yaoxing himself also felt that the experiment was ridiculous and might cause even greater chaos, but it was not convenient for him to destroy it, so he deliberately lured Helia.

He knew Helia very well and knew that she would definitely stop this experiment from continuing.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the magic circle was triggered by her, and why the fruit that was supposed to be well hidden appeared in front of her inexplicably -

This was confirmed by Ian Hill. The fruit should not have appeared here, but it did appear.

There are only three gods involved in this experiment. It is unlikely that Fengze would travel so far just for this matter. If Ian Hill doesn't know about it, then it can only be Tang Yaoxing.

As for the reason, perhaps He was half-forced to participate from the beginning, or He realized the seriousness of the problem halfway through and wanted to stop the loss in time.

And those five pagans were most likely Tang Yaoxing's way of apologizing to her.

He had been observing from the dark ever since Helia came here. How could he not know about Helia's vengeful character?

Through the conversation, He also learned that Helia had a good relationship with the original owner.

He was also very clear about what Wisdom had done to Helia herself, and he was very clear that Helia would definitely bear a grudge against Wisdom.

As the messenger of wisdom, he naturally belongs to the side of wisdom. Even though they are fellow villagers, it is difficult for him to overcome the resentment in Helia's heart.

He might as well just throw these discarded pawns out to vent his anger on Helia.

What a good calculation.
