Chapter 199: Master and Servant Like Sister
Three days later...
In the mansion of the Heartfilia Family...
The delicate mahogany box was filled with twelve keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirit.
However, there was still no news of Evan from Layla and and Jude. As for the keys of the TwelveCelestial Spirit, they were respectively: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces, and Cancer.
"One, two, three, four... twelve!"
"Layla, there are indeed twelve keys to the Twelve Celestial Spirit, right? That means we have gathered all the keys, right?" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Because Jude knew nothing about Celestial Spirit Magic, he looked at the golden keys in front of him. After counting them over and over again, he determined that there were a total of twelve keys in front of him, so he looked at Layla and asked.
"This..."
After hearing what Jude said, some sweat appeared on Layla's forehead.
Even Layla did not expect the Magic Council to be so reliable. Not only did they help them gather all eleven of the common Twelve Celestial Spirit on Isghar, but they even found the Dark Key, the Ophiuchus, which gave her a deep understanding of the power of the Magic Council.
"Jude, look at this key. Although it is indeed one of the keys in the Dark Path, don't you find that it is different from other keys?"
Layla picked up the Dark Key, placed it in Jude's hand and asked.
"Indeed, the other keys all have the marks of their respective palaces. Only this one is wrapped around by a giant python. It looks very ominous."
After listening to Layla, Jude picked up the key in his hand and nodded slightly.
"This is the Dark Key hat is rumored to be above the Twelve Celestial Spirit. It is said that the key of the Snake Charmer contains an extremely powerful force!"
Layla nodded slightly after hearing Jude's words. At the same time, she explained the key of the Snake Charmer in her hand. There was something different about it from the other keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirit.
"So that's how it is. In that case, can we use the Dark Key to replace the 12th key to open the Eclipse Gate?"
Jude nodded slightly after hearing what Layla said and asked.
"I don't know either. After all, I don't know much about the Eclipse Gate either. However, if Evan didn't find Grammi, then we can only try to use the Dark Key."
Layla smiled bitterly. Her understanding of the Eclipse Gate was only limited to the notes of her ancestors. If they couldn't gather the Twelve Celestial Spirit Kay, then they could only use the key of the Snake Charmer. In short, one more key was better than one less key. With the help of the Ophiuchus, Layla believed that it could lighten her burden a little. Even if it would damage her foundation and life, she wouldn't die immediately. With her strength, it shouldn't be a problem for her to survive for four or five years and watch Lucy grow up.
"By the way, Jude, are you still unable to sleep today?"
After hearing the maid's words, Jude looked a little embarrassed. He looked at Layla in his arms and asked casually.
"Ah, en..."
"Shall we go out and take a look?"
Layla also squeaked. After thinking for a few seconds, she looked at Jude and asked.
"Good attention!"
Jude's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. He secretly praised the idea of Layla.
As a result...
Jude and Layla disappeared without a trace and walked out of the door of the Hartlia family.
It was also at the moment when the two of them walked out of the gate, accompanied by a gust of wind...
A few pegasus pulled Evan's carriage and slowly descended from the sky.
Yes, Evan flew from the border of the neighboring country with the carriage for a total of three days before arriving at the manor of the Heartfilia Family.
It could only be said that Isghar was indeed ridiculously large. It was not to blame for the final battle inside. After Irene teleported Acnologia away, Acnologia flapped its wings and flew for half a day without returning to the battlefield. In the end, it was Irene who died in battle and her magic failed, so she was sent back.
"Yu..."
Evan held the reins in his hand and made the pegasus stop in place. Only then did he jump down from the horse carriage. Then, she gently opened the door of the carriage and let the great beauty get out of it.
"Miss!"
When Grammi got down from the carriage and saw the first time she saw Layla, tears began to roll down her eyes. She quickly ran towards Layla and hugged her in her arms, sobbing.
"Miss, Grammi is late!"
Grammi hugged Layla and cried.
"No! You came back not too late and just happened to be here."
Layla gently stroked the green and beautiful long hair of Grammi. Her eyes gradually became hazy and were wet from the mist. There were tears flashing in her eyes.
"..."
Evan looked at the crying Layla and Grammi and smiled slightly. The master and servant in front of him were more like a pair of sisters than a master and servant relationship.
