The scorching air, alienated to the icy Alps, is swallowed up by an endless cold snap and quickly loses temperature. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The lava lakes, fiery redder than blood, are fading, assimilating into the winding mountains.

The creatures that inhabit the lava lakes can't stand the low temperatures and die stiffly.

The eroded environment is gradually returning to normal under the regulation of nature, and the otherworld that envelops the canyon collapses with an avalanche.

When the other world completely dissipated, that unique and magnificent scene also reached the moment when it ceased to exist.

Loreleya, who was thousands of meters in the air, looked at the bright red that was losing color at a speed visible to the naked eye under her feet, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and the queen's temperament that had penetrated into her bones was gone.

Even if she was born in the first place in the clock tower and is accustomed to all kinds of mysteries, she has never seen such a scene of fantasy collapse. It's like Shinji seeing the battle between servants for the first time, and the feeling of the sky falling apart makes her deeply realize her own insignificance.

-- Small, not weak.

It has nothing to do with strength, but the extreme shock from sight and hearing has given her a huge impact.

And after the impact, what emerges is an infinite fighting spirit.

"Human beings are so small compared to the world. But we are so small, but we can also shine brightly, just like him who caused all this. ”

Lorelea took a deep breath and opened the hatch with her hand.

"It seems that the 'Grim Reaper' has successfully completed his mission, and I will go down to pick him up. ”

"But Miss, stability hasn't been restored yet, so go down at this time-"

Loreleia raised her hand to stop "Chariot" from continuing.

"Don't worry, if you can't even cope with the aftermath of the destruction of the 'Son of the Forest', why should I command you? ”

"Yes, Miss. ”

The wind was howling, and the girl's body seemed to be a weightless piece of white paper, carried away from the helicopter by the wind and falling downward.

By the time she cleared the spell and put her feet on the ground, the magma had solidified, and only the mist rising from the cracks and the warmth through her boots proved that the lava lake had ever existed, and that it would soon be gone.

The man who killed the son of the sea forest with his own hands was still the same, wearing a simple cloak, squatting on the edge of a dirt bag, and poking a strange fish of different species with his hand.

Perhaps annoyed by the poke, the strange fish suddenly bounced up, and its spiky bone wings slammed into Shinji's chin.

Shinji still maintained a squatting posture, grabbed the strange fish's ribs with his hand, and let the strange fish struggle in his hands.

Seeing such a scene, the strange emotions in Loreleya's heart due to the destruction of the son of the sea forest suddenly disintegrated.

"You're boring enough. ”

"If you're like me in the face of a thousand of these things on the batter, you won't be bored with me. Shinji pinched the strange fish and stood up.

"No, even if it were, I wouldn't do it. Because it has no meaning, it is a different species bred by the 'son of the sea of the sea', and can only be attached to the 'son of the sea of the sea', and now that the mother dies, it will soon lose its life and become a stone under our feet. ”

As Loreleia said, the strange fish and the giant snake are not normal creatures, but elemental beings formed by the convergence of lava. Leaving the other world created by the "Children of the Sea and Forest", it is like water without a source and a tree without roots, and there is only one ending to return to the rock.

As if echoing Loreleya's words, the struggle of the pinched strange fish became smaller and smaller, as if life had come to an end.

"You're right, provided that the 'Son of the Fur Forest' is really dead. ”

"Huh?"

Without giving Loreleia a chance to continue talking, Shinji took out something from under the cloak with his other free hand.

At first glance, it appears to be a ruby made of the same material as the body of a strange fish. If you perceive it carefully, you can feel the magic and vitality of the spiritual vein level contained in it.

As soon as Ruby approached, the fish immediately became energetic, and bared its teeth at Loreleia, as if mocking her ignorance.

"This, this is—" Loreleia's delicate body shuddered as she thought of a possibility.

As if enjoying the stunned gaze of the Queen, Shinji didn't answer immediately, but shook the ruby in his hand in front of Loreleia's eyes before he said.

"This is the core of the 'Son of the Forest', whole, undamaged - oh, I admire myself to be able to get it so intact. ”

“......”

In normal times, Loreleia will definitely be full of queen aura, and she preaches Shinji, she hates this kind of smug and boastful attitude the most. But today, she didn't do anything, just stared blankly at the red core, which looked like a work of art, as if it had been attached to it.

When he had enough of admiring this extremely rare expression, Shinji put the red core on Loreleia's hand.

"Well, I've got you. ”

"Huh?... That one... Huh?"

It's another spectacle - Loreleia is incoherent, and her hand that can pierce through the reinforced concrete at will can't hold such a core that only has a few kilograms.

"Why?"

This is a one-of-a-kind specimen, this is a priceless treasure, both from a research point of view and purely as a magic material, why should you give such a thing to yourself?

"It's kind of an amend. Shinji touched his head embarrassedly, "The first time we met, I just swept your face and stunned you." The second time we met, I used inappropriate etiquette again. This has caused you a lot of trouble, and it is inevitable that you will continue to cause trouble in the future. What's more - you need this thing more than I do, don't you?"

The last sentence struck Lorelea's heart.

Shinji didn't know how to use this core, and this treasure had no other use for him than to sell it for money or resources.

But it was different for Loreleia, the existence of the core proved that her subordinates had won an overwhelming victory in the battle against the "Son of the Fur Sea", and if it weren't for this, it would not have been possible to get such a perfect core.

This is her best answer to the Barsermelo family, and the best return for her investment in Shinji. It not only proves her strength (if you don't have strength, you can't convince people), but also proves her vision of people, which are two indispensable abilities for Basemero's next master.

It was with this in mind that Shinji gave up the simple and safe way of directly destroying the core, and instead chose to use the magic bag Kibisis to block the connection between the core and the body, and obtain the core completely.

Shinji looked forward to the moment when Loreleia returned to Barsermelo with this indisputable trophy, which would be a "queen enthronement" even more amazing than "The Return of the Lord".
