Mysteries

"What are we looking for?" Neia changed the subject unnaturally.

Harvey said: "The geographical records of the Pearl Islands, as well as related history."

"Related?"

"Mysterious locations, strange legends and the like."

While speaking, Neia had already stepped down the last step.With his back turned to him, Harvey waved his hand lightly in the air, and the messy files were tidied up.Neia said in surprise, "Have you classified them?"

Harvey gave him a sideways look, as if mocking his question. "It's easier to turn it over."

"..." Neia looked at Harvey who casually picked up a file and flipped through it, and said with emotion, "Gods are not omnipotent."

The file room was quiet, with the sound of pages turning from time to time.

Neia discovered that she had dug out all these movements by herself, and Harvey was still standing there, maintaining the posture of reading a book, motionless.

……

Could something go wrong?

Neia stood up nervously and walked in front of Harvey.

Harvey suddenly raised his head, his black pupils looked extraordinarily dark in the dark basement: "So sometimes you have to use any means."

Neia's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her spine.

Harvey smiled, softening the coldness of his brows.He is extremely handsome, different from Sidun's roughness, with a mysterious and cold evil spirit, especially when he smiles, the smile at the corner of his mouth is in stark contrast to the coldness at the corner of his eyes, but it is Harvey's unique charm.

charm...

Neia was surprised that she could use this word to describe it.Originally, Harvey had a domineering, gloomy and moody personality, which was the type he respected the most, but after getting along for so long, he couldn't convince himself that he was only in awe of Harvey, and the tolerance that even surprised him was not only aimed at the god king Harvey His identity comes from his willingness to give in.

But what about Harvey's heart?

Neia thought sadly.If he didn’t know the history of the “Glory” that the God of Darkness provoked the three gods of supervision, he could still convince himself that Harvey secretly controlled the God of Light and informed the Candin Empire for the sake of human beings. Now, no matter how much he likes it, he can’t convince himself Harvey's own toss is just for fun.

"Don't think that gloomy eyes can cover up your being lazy." Harvey, who quickly flipped through a bookshelf, looked back at him.

Neia buried her head in the file.When you don't look at it squarely, the abnormality in your heart is like ripples, floating on the surface in circles; after looking at it squarely, emotions surge up from the bottom of the water, and just looking at it, your thoughts will become chaotic.

"What did you find?" Harvey moved over.

Neia shut the book abruptly, and the strong wind brought a chill to Harvey's face.

Harvey narrowed his eyes, snatched the book from him, and flipped through it quickly.

Watching his actions, Neia felt a little cold, and all ambiguous feelings were completely blown away.There is an insurmountable gap between gods and humans, let alone a god with Harvey's character, they cannot build trust between them, whether it is him to himself or himself to him.Assisting Harvey when he helps humans, monitoring and stopping Harvey when he harms the interests of humans is the only reason for following him.

Neia put the book back in its original place, ignored Harvey's probing eyes, and took another book from another shelf.

Harvey looked at the book that had been put down, and turned it over again with itchy hands. He still didn't see anything, and couldn't find the reason for Neia's emotional ups and downs. He felt very upset, and quickly flipped through the books on the other shelf. , and then mocked Neia who was still flipping through the same book: "Need I give you a dictionary, so I can look it up as I go?"

Neia said, "I don't know what you're looking for."

Harvey said: "...So you just pretended you were watching?"

Neia flipped through the pages, and asked casually, "What do you plan to do after you find it?"

Harvey said, "Go and have a look." Before Neia said, "You'll know what you see when the time comes."

Neia slowly finished flipping through a book, and when she looked up, Harvey had already flipped through everything, and was waiting for him with arms crossed.

"..." Neia said, "Can I go and see it now?"

Harvey stuffed him with a book: "It's for you."

Neia looked at the cover.

"A Methodology for Acceleration of Horse-drawn Carriages".

Coming out of Bei Yangsi's study, she was sitting outside drinking afternoon tea.Seeing their figures, he immediately put down his cup and stood up: "You two..."

"You're suspended," Harvey said.

……

Bei Yangsi said in shock: "What?"

Harvey said: "In the name of the special envoy of His Majesty Ciro I, I formally announce the suspension of the Governor of the Pearl Islands, Bayanth Mullen, and strictly prohibit her from leaving the Governor's Mansion for half a step before the new order is issued."

"Wait." Bei Yangsi blocked him, "You didn't..."

Harvey had passed her and moved on.

"You have no right to do that!" she yelled, standing behind him, and let the soldiers take them down.The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.Although Bei Yangsi is a baron, the special envoy of the emperor sounds bigger.

After such a hesitation, Harvey and Neia had already reached the door.

Bei Yangsi rushed up suddenly, trying to grab Harvey's hand, but before he touched it, he was thrown out, and he fell headlong into a flower bed not far away.

Harvey and Neia went out and got into the carriage.The coachman wrapped himself up airtight, with only a pair of small, round mung bean eyes exposed, and looked around defensively, for fear that someone with a water bottle would come over and hurt him.

The wheels of the carriage rolled slowly.

Bei Yangsi, who was supported by the soldiers, rushed over with disheveled hair. When she reached the gate, she was about to step out, but she shrank back as if frightened, and angrily scolded the timid soldiers around her.Seeing that she was also apprehensive, the soldiers did not work hard and pretended to chase her. When the road turned a corner, they immediately stopped and went to find a place to rest.

Neia looked behind curiously, and was surprised to see that Bei Yangsi hadn't left the mansion.Since he entered the Governor's Mansion, Harvey didn't show any identity certificate, but with a few words, he frightened Bei Yangsi so much that he didn't even dare to leave the house. He didn't know whether he should admire Harvey's nonsense or Bei Yangsi's. ignorance.

Harvey was also very proud.After being imprisoned in the God of Light Society for so long, he thought that the outside world would change, but unexpectedly, it was still the world he was familiar with.

Neia thought, he can fool Bei Yangsi around with his words today, and he can play with human beings in the same way tomorrow.The Dark God is still the Dark God, no different from the one in the book.He must have other purposes for being so enthusiastic and active in helping mankind.

He was full of worries.

Even today they use Harvey's hand to stop the gods of Dongguimo.So, who will stop Harvey tomorrow?

At this moment, a clear idea appeared in his mind - human beings must have their own power.Around this central idea, the following thoughts are clear.First, the artifact of the Sea God Emperor must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Harvey.Even if the Sea God Emperor once helped the Candin Empire to eliminate Vulcan, it still cannot change the fact that he is a god. If one day, the gods and humans confront each other, there is no doubt about the Sea God Emperor's choice.Second, find out the reason why Harvey went to the Pearl Islands, and find a way to transfer the interests to the human side.

A hand suddenly squeezed his chin, interrupting his thoughts.

Neia turned her head and saw Harvey looking at him with gloomy eyes.

"What were you thinking?" Harvey said.

Ning Ya's heart beat a few times, and she forced herself to be calm and said, "I think, you."

The two words were spoken separately, like two stones, thrown into Harvey's heart one by one.

He frowned: "And thinking about how to deal with me?"

Neia's heart skipped a beat, and the embarrassment she was talking about spread all over her body, and her face blushed uncontrollably: "What do you mean trying to deal with you again?"

"That's right?" The anger in Harvey's heart couldn't be restrained.Why did he exhaust all means, but let him stand on the opposite side of himself?Sure enough, even if he was only Neia, he was still Neia who opposed him!He ground his teeth: "I can tell by your expression."

Neia froze: "What expression do I have?"

Harvey said: "Don't dare to look me in the eyes, guilty conscience."

There are usually two reactions from people who are said to be central.One is to admit it, and the other is to strongly deny it.

Neia couldn't admit it, so she could only vehemently deny it: "Why is it against you to be guilty?"

"Otherwise, why are you guilty?"

"Can't it be that I like you?" Neia blurted out.

Harvey froze.

After being taken aback, Neia immediately took the initiative, boldly looked into Harvey's eyes, and asked aggrievedly and angrily, "Can't it be that I like it?"

Harvey stared at him, narrowed his eyes slowly, squeezed his chin, and pulled his face in front of him: "What are you planning?"

Neia said, "No." Tears pooled in her eyes little by little.

Originally, the grievance was one point, but now it has slowly increased to seven points.

It's not a lie.

He really likes it.

However, neither he nor Harvey would admit it.

He knows that he likes Harvey, but for the sake of his relatives, friends, Langzan, and human beings, he will still choose to betray when necessary.Even now, "like" is used as an excuse, and the sincerity is regarded as a lie.

Harvey suppressed the probing in his eyes, fingers brushed lightly over his lower eyelids, and tears fell, landing on the back of Harvey's hand. "Why are you crying?" He muttered, and there were traces of happiness in his eyes.

Neia wiped her face with her backhand, trying to turn her face away, but Harvey pinched her tightly.

"What do you like about me?" Harvey asked enthusiastically.

Neia asked back, "Don't you believe it?"

Harvey raised his eyebrows: "So hurry up and convince me."

"..." Neia bit her lower lip and thought for a while, "I don't know either."
