Another World's Palm Spider

Byron closed the Codex.

His eyes fell on the single bed on the side of the corridor - the person sleeping on it was breathing lightly, gently and long, obviously immersed in dreamland.

Byron put away the letter carefully, he stood up and walked to the middle of the two beds in the room.

He walked these few steps without making a sound.In the hotel room, the floor was covered with a thick woolen carpet, and the long, soft carpet almost muffled all sounds, which made Byron come to his bedside without alarming Aize.

The young swordsman stood silently, his seemingly calm eyes fell on the opponent's sleeping face.

In all fairness, Aize has a face that can be called "beautiful". Of course, such a compliment can only be applied when there are no weird expressions on his face.

Byron remembered that when he was first brought out of the Nether Spider's lair, the young man was in a mess and his face was covered with dirt, and he couldn't see his face at all.Only those eyes, it is impossible not to be impressed by it.

Ai Ze's eyes are extremely dark, like a whirlpool that can catch people's attention immediately, not to mention the vivid colors in those eyes that seem to change every moment, so bright that people can hardly move their eyes away.In fact, it is said that he is "beautiful" only when he is asleep, because when he is awake, those eyes are too good at attracting people's attention.

After that, Byron was amazed again by how Ezer came back from the shower and changed his clothes.Different from the skin color of ordinary people, Ai Ze's skin looks translucent and radiant under the light, just like a freshly peeled egg, which also makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

——No ordinary person has such skin, no, not even the marquise Marianna, who is the most skin-care-loving in the royal city, does not have such a beautiful complexion.Byron could even imagine that if the Marchioness Marianne saw Aize, the latter would be pestered for skin care tips to the point of madness.

That scene must have been pretty exciting.

Thinking of this, the young swordsman couldn't help but twitched his lips again.

At this moment, the black-haired young man who was still lying down under the quilt suddenly stretched his feet out of the quilt, rolled the whole quilt into his arms and turned over - a large section of white and resilient The skin of the waist suddenly jumped into Byron's sight.

Obviously, this guy's sleeping posture is extremely bad.

Byron rang the bell to let the waiter prepare the single clothes as pajamas for him when he was taking a bath, and he was already sleeping rolled up to his waist. Ai Ze, who was still asleep, knew nothing about the situation, and he slept in an extremely relaxed state. Yan formed a stark contrast with this imageless sleeping posture.

...God knows how good this guy was when he came out of the bathroom 10 minutes ago...

The swordsman standing by the bed shook his head speechlessly.

Although Ai Ze was tricked into letting him sleep in the same room with him for the purpose of arranging suspicious people nearby for easy monitoring, but let's talk with conscience, is this guy really a dangerous person?

From a subjective point of view, although Byron feels that Aize has a lot of doubts, he can also sense that Aize has concealed some things about himself-as long as he is asked about himself, he will hesitate. It looked like I couldn't answer—but I didn't feel that Ai Ze had any malice towards him and Simon, and even the night before, Ai Ze saved them from the attack of the giant centipede.

Byron still remembered the stunned expression on Aize's face at that time, as if he was completely shocked by the trick he used.

That kind of reaction is difficult to fake unless he is a veteran of deceit—at least Byron is confident. With the insight he has cultivated and continuously honed since he was a child, he will definitely be able to spot any clues. However, from knowing Aize And getting along until now, his reactions are very real, so real that people can't find anything wrong at all.

What's more, what Aize knew about the two brothers, except for a series of matters related to the quest to defeat the spider, he and Simon never disclosed in front of Aize that they were the royal family of the Orac Empire. Without knowing anything, they have no stake.

Logically speaking, if he insisted on talking about something, maybe Aize would have to repay them—in fact, he did.

When they were attacked by high-level monsters last night, if Aize had malicious intentions towards them, theoretically speaking, he would not help them at critical moments.

Byron couldn't forget the words Aize blurted out when he made that uncomfortable move.

— He said, absolutely not.

Absolutely can't hurt him?Absolutely can't let him have an accident? ...Or, absolutely not to attack him?

In view of the "interest" shown by the giant centipede in Ai Ze, Byron still thinks that the first two are more reliable after analysis.So that is to say, combined with the various performances of getting along with Aize these days, what Simon said is likely to be the truth-Aize, like him?

So facing him and facing Simon are completely different attitudes. When the three of them stay together in the wild, Aize prefers to sit close to him. If there is anything interesting and delicious, Aize will look at him immediately. , and even tricked this guy into sharing a room with him, he believed and accepted it without hesitation...

Byron frowned.

He found that he didn't hate being so close.

But this doesn't mean that he will ignore all doubts about this person.Apart from the fact that the ghost spider disappeared inexplicably when he survived in the ghost spider's lair, the trick that Ai Ze used to kill the giant centipede was the most suspicious.

Translucent, irregular shadows that suddenly appeared in the air, with a skill like a huge pushing force... or the effect of gravity suppression.

Byron can be sure that this does not belong to any elemental or space master—although he is a swordsman, he has seen many magicians since he was a child, and he has never seen a magician who can use this skill .

but……

He thought he might know what Aize's move was.

Byron remembered that in the year when he was crowned as a follower of the God of Light, he used to listen to his swordsmanship teacher, the great swordsman Aldrich who was famous for his majesty?As Dewar mentioned, all the gods have their own relatives, just like he is the dependent of the God of Light, the main gods of the elements, the god of space and the god of destiny also have their own relatives on this continent .

The well-informed swordsman even mentioned the characteristics and identification methods of the dependents of various gods. Of course, there are not many examples of human beings favored by gods in history, so Byron learned from Aldrich What sounds there is also a relatively vague concept.

Among all the relatives of the gods, the most interesting one is the relative of the god of the underworld that appeared on this continent about 130 years ago, Igmoz?Tasa.That is a rare thing that has never happened in the past thousand years - this family member of the god of the underworld is a dragon, or a black dragon with a very pure blood.

It can be said that its appearance is also quite unpredictable: this family member of the god of the underworld suddenly appeared in the territory of the orcs, and without saying a word, he razed one of the four main cities of the orcs' kingdom.This was another severe blow to the Orcs who were still rebuilding after the civil strife at that time, but the culprit who caused all this disappeared immediately without a word.

That is to say, the orcs still haven't figured out why this servant of the god of the underworld would make such a surprise move, because it hasn't appeared since then.

According to the description of his respected swordsmanship teacher, one of the skills used by this underworld family member from the Dragon Clan to level the main city of the Orc Clan was similar to the skills he saw Ai Ze use last night.

Yes, Byron suspects that Aize is a member of Hades.

If his guess is correct, then it is inevitable that Aize can survive unscathed in the Nether Spider's lair without any protective magic weapon.The family members of the god of the underworld must have the dark attribute, just as he, as the family member of the god of light, has the light attribute as a matter of course, and it is not a problem to be immune to the erosive effect of the dark attribute of the ghost spider.

Byron blinked slowly.

He seemed... to see Ai Ze's nape of neck, under the short black hair, there was something white... something like a thread.

Because it is printed against Aize's black hair, so after you notice it, you will feel that it is particularly conspicuous.

Byron suddenly took two steps forward, bent down at a rapid speed, and then gently picked up the thing with precision and a gesture that would not let Aize notice it—it was so thin that it almost broke when pulled. Illusion, the flexibility of that "thread" is already contrary to common sense. Byron tried to pull it hard, but found that this thing would only get longer and longer. He pulled out the sharp knife close to his body and tried to cut it, but it did not will break.

This feeling...is too familiar.

The guess in Byron's mind that was almost affirmed by himself just now changed again.

But how could this kind of thing appear on Aize who just took a shower?

Byron took the "thread" and went around to the window, looking at the extremely thin white silk's lustrous, almost transparent color under the sun.Almost the moment he saw the radiance from it, he thought of Aize's skin... The two feel so similar that one has to link them together.

If it's really what he thought—then Aize...

The blond swordsman turned around slightly, glanced at Ai Ze who was still sleeping soundly on the bed hugging the quilt, frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds, then took out the letter again, and clamped the suspicious "thread" into it .

Interesting, Byron thought.
