When I got back to Ridingpa, it was raining.

The roads became difficult to navigate, and there was mud everywhere.

The uphill slope was harder than the downhill, and it took Danica a lot of time to get the coachman to force the carriage across the long slope to the gate of the mountain town, and to move all the contents of the carriage out.

Thankfully, those things were sheltered from the rain all at once.

Danica watched the carriage leave, looking at the gloomy rain, and her mood turned bad.

"That's enough, this weather ......"

From the moment he jumped out of the carriage, Paz ran away as fast as he could, and ran to call for someone to help move the boxes of things away, leaving Danica alone in the rain.

She was in a pretty bad mood, something was blocked in her heart, and she couldn't breathe with depression.

While waiting, recall again what happened during this time.

“……”

Others can hide it, in the mountain city, there is only one person who can't hide it, to be honest, she doesn't want to mention what happened in the imperial city, she can't hide it from the old butler Dawn.

"I'm starting to get it ......"

Always thinking, always thinking.

She couldn't forget the things that made her feel depressed.

After a while, Paz came with a few men, shouting Danica's name as they ran, and the slowest of them was Daun, who was getting old and struggling to walk.

"Hey, long waiting!

Path, who was running at the front, shook the umbrella in his hand and threw another one to Danica.

"Thank you, please, everyone! Move this pile of things to the temporary city lord's mansion, and I'll help too, by the way, tell me about your recent work. ”

"Miss Danica, it's good to see you're safe. ”

"Yes, we're back! Don't worry, Dawn, go slowly. ”

"We've finally waited for you to come back, Miss City Lord, I have something to tell you, the weather is very bad during this time, and a batch of materials has been affected, and the reconstruction work has been delayed a lot. ”

"I understand the weather at this time, there is no way, everyone just rests and rests, and then continues when the weather is good, just pay attention to the materials. I bought a lot of things on the way, including seeds for the planned plantation, and in short, a whole bunch of things, separated by species. ”

Danica talked about these kinds of topics, and soon they were in the warehouse where their things were stored.

It's not so much a warehouse, it's actually a makeshift open space made of tents.

Due to the rain, the tent was covered with a layer of transparent material to protect against the rain.

Seeing the tent, Danica asks where everyone lives.

During this time, people who lost their homes lived in tents that had been erected.

"We've borrowed someone else's house, so you don't have to worry about that, Miss Danica. ”

Dawn explained.

After the removal and sorting were completed, everyone left.

"Then again, Miss Danica, Master Path, ...... Vance?"

"Vance, he's probably busy, right?"

Paz replied first, turning his head and whispering to Danica.

"Hey, didn't you make it clear in the letter? Why is Dawn still asking? ”

“……”

Danica rolled her eyes and grumbled, "How can such a thing be said in one sentence?" ”

"What did you say?"

"What's the matter? Miss Danica, Master Path, what are you talking about? I didn't hear too clearly, what happened? Is it Vance's old acquaintance? Seriously, even if you have old knowledge, you shouldn't give up your responsibilities, it's hard to believe! I have to talk about him when I go back, he can't forget his mission, his most important job is to protect you! What the hell is going on, you actually left Miss Danica aside, but fortunately Miss is safe!"

"I'm relieved to see you're okay!"

"Ah, uh...... Well. ”

Those things were related to the temple, and they had a pact with the temple that they couldn't reveal anything about the shadow mage to anyone.

Paz scratched his face and looked at Daun's babbling, relieved in his heart.

Danica was also relieved, because she didn't want to worry Dawn too much, because the nature of the thing was likely to be beyond the scope of ordinary people.

Even though, there is one more trouble in her heart.

She said to herself in her heart, Lance, if you're here......

If you were here, what would you say?

You will comfort and say, don't worry?

Still is......

“……”

People are so powerless.

She couldn't be depressed for too long, she still had a lot to deal with.

Danica encouraged herself that if she didn't have an answer no matter how much she thought about it, she just put it aside for now, she had to cheer up!

A sad face is not the best solution.

Although sometimes I am silent in this mood and fall into self-avoidance, sooner or later I have to come to my senses.

He patted his face, stretched his arms vigorously, returned to his old mentality, and worked hard to complete his job as the lord of the city.

******

It is a port town close to the sea, and the smell of the sea fills the air and fills the smell of the sea. The buildings here are predominantly blue, and dried fish hangs at the door of each house.

People who have difficulty adapting to it usually cover their noses, and the people who live in this town have long been accustomed to the smell.

“…… Why do we have to go through here?"

Samuel covered his nose and frowned.

"This taste ......"

Islian also had an uncomfortable expression on his face, although it was said that the young king wanted to experience the folk life outside, but this proposal was personally requested by him, and in the bottom of his heart, he began to secretly regret making this decision.

"Please try this, smell it, and you won't have to be affected by this smell anymore. ”

Wall didn't know where to take out a bottle of potion, and after opening the bottle, he sniffed it himself before handing it to others in turn.

"What is this?"

"I accidentally made a failed ...... Although it was a failed product, I couldn't smell anything for a while after smelling it, so I wanted to throw it away...... I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time. ”

"Okay......"

Samuel and the others sniffed it in turn, and in an instant, all those smells disappeared, and the nose was no longer uncomfortable.

When it was Gemma's turn, Wall was stunned when he saw their eyes light up.

"Take it back, I don't think they need it. ”

Ruthma smiled.

Several cat girls didn't hear their conversation, but walked in front, constantly muttering and evaluating everything in this town, their expressions were ecstatic.

"Fish meows everywhere!"

"It's just ...... The happiest meow in the world!"

"There are a lot of meows, there are really a lot of meows, and Lilil has found many varieties of meows that I haven't seen before!"

"Look at Meow! There's that, there's this, there's that, there's more!"

"There are a lot of restaurants that cater to fresh fish, and I'm so dazzled that I want to try every one!"

“…… What to do, meow, my eyes are going to see flowers!"

They kept muttering, immersed in their little world, completely abandoning everyone behind them.

"These guys, no matter the occasion at all!"

Samuel scolded under his breath.

"They were very excited, it wasn't strange to see so many fish, what should I do, I suddenly wanted to touch their ears and their tails, I wanted to touch ......"

Even Ruthma couldn't help it, and Samuel rolled her eyes.

"What the hell are we here for?!"

Islian looked around, his face full of curiosity, "It's okay, I know that the security in this town is quite good, we can be separated for a while, and we can go wherever we want." ”

"How can that be!"

Wall looked back and forth among them, seemingly hesitant.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"That being said, we are your guards. ”

"Wall, if you want to go around and have a look, you can leave first, they are about to go away, why don't you follow?"

"Ahem. ”

Rosema put away the excitement she had just shown, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Samuel is right, we are your guard, protecting you is our top priority, it was really a gaffe just now, really...... Gaffe. ”

"Hmph, I'm embarrassed to say that you're a senior adventurer. ”

"It can't be helped, it's really hard to resist because cats are so cute, sorry, sorry. ”

"Wall, are you really not going? I see you seem to care about Hima? Am I mistaken?"

"But ......"

"Don't worry, that's it, let's separate first, and we'll be back here in an hour and reassemble. You've been with me for the past few days, and I'm sure there's a lot to add. ”

Islian again made this suggestion, repeating how good the town was and therefore there would be no problem.

"In that case, well, please take this with you, and if necessary, open this scroll, it will protect you. ”

Rosema took out a white scroll and handed it to Islian.

"They can't resist the temptation of the fish, and I'm not at ease, Wall, come with me. ”

"Huh?"

Ruthma patted Samuel on the shoulder and blinked.

"You also have a place you want to go, you can walk around alone. ”

Samuel shook off her hand and touched the shoulder that had been touched.

"Humph......"

"Well, I'll go this way, goodbye for now. ”

The others walked away, and Samuel stood alone, looking at his hands.

He opened his palm, and there was a white bead in the palm of his hand.

"What the hell are you doing, the little ghost king insists on breaking everyone up. ”

Just now, on the edge of the scroll that Ruthma handed to Islian, there was also a white bead that was exactly like the one in her hand.

He glanced in the direction Islian had left, and quietly kept his distance and followed while the figure had not gone far.

In an open-air restaurant, the trio sat in seats by the fence that was enclosed.

On the table, a luxurious feast of fish is placed.

Whether it's grilled fish, steamed fish, or fish of different sizes and varieties, it fills a table.

"Grilled Fish Grilled Fish Grilled Fish!"

"Steamed fish is also delicious, what kind of sauce is this, how can it be so fragrant?"

"Meow, meow!"

"Speaking of which, Vivian is really keen on grilled fish, it has always been, Liliel is a little tired of eating grilled fish, and wants to try different cooking techniques, meow!

"The grilled fish is the most fragrant!"

"I'm the pickiest of people, they all look good, Meow, my wallet is here to play a full role Meow!"

"Really...... It's so rich, you can eat the fish here every day, there are many kinds of meows, and the taste of each grilled fish is tempting Vivian's meow!"

"Meow!"

Lilil agreed. ”

“…… Then again, I think we can forget something, meow?"

Suddenly, Hima screamed.

"Those guys!"

"Meow?"

"Meow, they're not there, where have they gone?"

"It's not Meow who went somewhere, it's that we forgot about Meow!"

"Meow? Didn't they follow the meow behind them?"

As he nibbled on the grilled fish, Vivian blinked.

******

"This should be it...... Adventurer's Guild at the Harbor ......"

Islian walked alone to a building, and the sign of the building was engraved with the icon of a sword and shield, which clearly indicated what kind of building it was.

"My long-awaited career as an adventurer, first of all, let's start as a newcomer!"

Islian touched the weapon hidden in his clothes, which he had secretly prepared himself, and no one in the palace knew about it, not even the guards who had been getting along with him for the past few days.

"I'm so excited!"

Islian was thrilled.

From stories about adventurers told by bards from outside the royal palace, from an early age, an unrealistic dream germinated in him.

Completely opposite to his status, completely opposite to his insight, as an ordinary adventurer.

If they know about it, they will definitely be resolutely opposed or even incomprehensible.

His Majesty the Honorable King has this kind of pursuit in his heart.

It's incredible.

Samuel followed behind Islian silently, and followed him for a while, until he watched him enter the Adventurer's Guild, and there were all kinds of people in the Adventurer's Guild, and if he followed up directly, he would definitely be exposed.

“…… What the hell is the idea, this guy. ”

He muttered, glanced across the street and saw a fruit stand with an alley next to it.

Samuel entered the alley and chose to wait here, and if he didn't come out for twenty minutes, he would have to go in.

Took out the white bead that Ruthma gave herself just now, it was a magic prop used to prevent the target from losing when tracking the target, and when the two beads were more than two hundred meters apart, it would emit light to guide the location of the other bead.

I don't know when Ruthma bought this kind of gadget, Samuel had seen it in the magic shop before, but she had never bought it.

Why did he break everyone up?

Coming to this kind of place, doesn't this guy know what kind of place the Adventurer's Guild is?

What a trouble, His Majesty, who does not know the situation of the people.

Samuel thought badly, maybe sometimes he has to make this Majesty suffer a little, so that this Majesty will dispel those strange thoughts, what to experience the life of a commoner, to experience the outside world? It is so good to be protected!

******

As soon as the royal carriage procession left, the doors of the town were closed, and the reopening was the next day.

The next morning, everyone said that they would leave early, because there should be a lot of people who want to leave, so they should rush to the earliest time, otherwise it may take several hours to leave.

The route of the royal carriage procession is kept secret by most people, but there are many, many people who try to discover it through certain channels, but they are generally curious and playful, and want to get closer to the royal procession.

It's one of the biggest events in the country, and no one can ignore it entirely.

However, on the occasion of departure.

Yo'er, who was not in the room, inquired about the people at the hotel, and shook their heads and said they didn't know.

In Joel's room, there was no luggage, nothing, empty, not even a hair could be found.

After that, everyone searched everywhere for a whole day, and put aside the matter of leaving.

Every street in the town, without sparing any blind spots, and, constantly asking passers-by, the same answer is the same, I have not seen this person. Even, I inquired carefully at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate said that they did not see a purple-haired girl, so conspicuous hair color, if there really was, they would definitely notice.

As a result, nothing came of it.

Nothing.

Where exactly did she go?

Nobody knows.

Suddenly she vanished, and no one had seen her.

No matter how you look for it, you can only get the same answer.

When there was nothing to do, the few people had to go back to the hotel, not in the mood, ordered a few random foods, sat at the table, supported their chins with their hands, or knocked on the table with the back of their hands with their heads down. Silent silence, sighing sighs, worried worries.

"What a trouble, you guys are too negative! Ami can't stand this atmosphere, cheer up!"

"By the way, Ami has a guess, do you want to hear it?"

Ami wondered if she would have left with the carriage procession? The WindClan had the ability to fly, hiding in the clouds, and flying away at once, and it was not surprising that she didn't notice it. ”

Ami's words shattered the dreary atmosphere.

"Are you kidding?"

Neil, who was holding his chin, turned his head and gave Excalibur a roll of his eyes.

“…… Speaking of which, what the hell is the WindClan, why did it disappear from history? I only now realize that we only know about it, we don't know anything about it. ”

"Ami certainly knows better than we do, but let's not talk about this kind of unreliable speculation. ”

"Ami is not talking nonsense, but it's too long ago, to be honest, Ami really can't remember clearly, and he's about to become an old fool haha!"

"You're so funny......"

"Regardless of history, if the Aqua can breathe in the water, it's not surprising that the Wind Clan can fly, wait, will there be other ......?"

"Lance is so smart! Ami has to praise you! In ancient history, in addition to disappearing into this world with the elves, although only the water tribe is still active in this continent, it is ......!"

"But?"

"Don't sell it!

"And the Fire Clan and the Earth Clan!"

"How do you feel, it's a bit of a property that corresponds to a magic element?"

"The Fire Clan are not afraid of any flames, no matter how high the temperature, and can control all the flames, the Earth Clan lives underground, just like the current dwarves, but the dwarf race is another race created after the Human Race and the Earth Race are together, and the real Earth Race can freely travel through any underground. ”

"In other words, each race has its own special abilities, that's why you said she flew away?"

“…… It feels like a bird flying away. ”

Neil pursed his lips, "Even if she does fly away, she can't leave us alone!"

"Yes, she has no reason to leave. ”

"I can't say, why did she leave after the royal convoy left, Ami thinks there must be something wrong here!"
