Chapter 406:

"Huh."

Without answering little Franky's question, Freya smiled and withdrew her hand, but a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.

Frankie's own physical fitness is very good, and he has a lot of potential, if there is no accident, he can become a great knight before the age of twenty and reach the peak of humanity, and it is even possible to be the same as she once was.

But this little guy only has physical potential, although he also has the qualifications of a wizard, but it is too low.

It may be possible to become a wizard's apprentice, but it is obviously impossible to break through the wizard.

This is the result of the combination of the environment and her own physique, after all, if Freya hadn't obtained the earrings by chance, I'm afraid that with her potential, she would only be able to reach the low-level wizard level.

After thinking about it, Freya took out a common cyan ring from her waist and handed it to him with a smile.

"Frankie, this is a gift from your aunt when you first meet, take it."

Taking the ring, Frankie's eyes showed a curious look, but it was still decent.

"Thank you, auntie."

Standing next to Eric, nothing has changed.

However, when the baron looked at the ring in Frankie's hand, there was a complicated expression on his face.

He used to be a nobleman of the Byron Empire, and he knew many things that the great nobles knew, and he had always maintained a reverence for the mysterious wizard, until his daughter Freya also became one of them, and this mysterious veil was completely revealed in front of him, so that now Freya vaguely guessed something when she gave a seemingly ordinary ring as a gift to Frankie.

"Freya. Don't you"

"Hmm." Freya, who knew what the baron was trying to say, nodded and smiled. "I'm just giving this kid a hope, and it's up to him where he can go in the end."

"yes, that's fine." The baron's gaze swept over Freya and Eric, and his tone was gentle. "Anyway, you've all grown up, in fact, I don't need you to be very strong, as long as everything is safe, I'll be satisfied."

I don't know if it's because of his age, or because of what has happened over the years, the originally extremely strong baron has gradually changed, just like the old father of an ordinary family.

The two of them he saw nodded slightly.

"We will." Freya smiled.

"Alright." The baron looked at Freya. smiled. "Now that you're back. Let's gather in the evening and have a celebration party to commemorate the people who came here from Byron in the first place. ”

"Me"

Originally, Freya wanted to refuse. But Eric next to him said directly.

"That's fine. I still remember all the things we did on the road, father. Then I'll go and inform them now. ”

"Go ahead." The baron waved his hand.

Watching Eric's sturdy figure leave quickly, Freya finally didn't say anything, just showed a faint smile.

Frankie next to him curiously fiddled with the ring in his hand. Attention seems to be focused on this.

Freya glanced at the little fellow, stroked his head, and said in a joking tone.

"Come, Frankie, let me teach you a few swordsmanship, I'm better than your father."

"Yes, yes." Frankie put away the ring in his hand and said happily. "My father said I was even more talented than he was."

"Really? Then let me take a look. Freya smiled.

The baron, who was standing by the door, watched his daughter and grandson enter the training room with a look of satisfaction in his eyes......

Dragon Harbor at night.

In the hall where Grimm's mercenaries were stationed, the lights were shining brightly at this time.

The soothing music of piano and violin came from the hall, and men and women in leather armor and gowns were smiling and talking to each other.

A table in the middle of the hall is lined with food and drinks.

In addition to the old people who came from Byron, there were also their families.

The whole hall was bustling with activity.

Dressed in a black evening dress, Freya walked to the balcony on the side of the hall with a glass of green juice.

Gently sipping the drink in his hand, he looked at the many familiar and somewhat strange people in the hall.

The baron seemed to be drunk, and was talking to his old men about something, laughing from time to time.

Eric was gently hugging a beautiful lady in her thirties, while Frankie next to him was munching on the food on the table.

It seems that Freya's teaching meeting in the afternoon is not a big consumption of his ordinary.

The cold winter breeze blew away some of her enthusiasm in the evening.

Freya tugged at her taut gown, allowing her body to relax.

Although everyone is still the same face, Freya herself has a faint sense of distance.

Her lifeline has been assimilated by the forces of the world, almost indefinitely, and these people she knows can only return to the soil in a few decades.

Freya had originally thought of taking the Baron and the others to Yundu together, but now it seems that this is the best place for them.

"I'm almost finding my meaning, but what about theirs? The life of a mortal is short, perhaps the time of one or two major experiments, but in this compact life, they often live more fulfilling lives than most wizards, living, reproducing, struggling until their final death, which is really nostalgic. ”

She now seems to understand Seth's decision.

When the pursuit of life has come to an end, it is often the right choice to choose the most appropriate way to leave.

"Miss Freya."

Freya's thoughts were interrupted by a gruff voice, a man in a black gown, but unable to hide his muscular build.

Seeing this man, Freya raised her glass with a smile.

"Oh, Dumstin, you're here too."

"Yes." Damsteen said respectfully, then he pulled out a letter and handed it to Freya. "I was instructed to give you this letter."

"Oh?" As a result, Freya looked at the baron suspiciously.

The baron seemed to be really drunk. With a flushed face, he was lying on the table as the two servants and Eric tried to carry him away.

After a pause, she turned her gaze to the envelope in her hand and tore it open.

Then the lights of the party appeared, and the first thing that came out was a delicate and small oil painting.

The picture is in a turquoise wood, next to a low castle, and a maroon-haired woman is sitting in a white high-backed chair, smiling and looking at the other side.

The woman's face is soft, and her appearance can only be considered ordinary. But there is a kind of quiet and peaceful temperament. The eyebrows are somewhat similar to Freya.

And underneath this oil painting is a line of words.

'To the love of my life, April-André. Green. ’

"April, I remember it was my mother's name, so this is my mother?" Freya stroked the oil painting in her hand, and there was not much emotion in her heart.

She wasn't the original Freya after all. But. For the baron's beloved woman. She can only reciprocate with respect.

In addition to this oil painting, there are several folded pieces of stationery.

Freya removed it, and it contained various bits and pieces of the baron since Freya's birth. It seems to be something like a diary.

It's hard to imagine that a baron who once had an iron-blooded presence would write these things.

Freya watched quietly, and although she wrote about trivial matters, she could still feel the baron's love for her and her mother.

After a long time, she put away the envelope in her hand, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes.

"Is my father trying to bridge the gap between mortals and wizards in this way?"

After spending a while on the balcony, she stepped into the party

Three days later.

Freya stood in front of the window of the villa, watching the seagulls fly by in the distance.

These three days of comfortable and peaceful life seemed to have made her forget most of the things in the wizarding world.

She saw that the mercenary group and the baron were already satisfied.

There is no war all day long like in Byron, and it is a peaceful city.

Even if it is a bit barren for wizards, it is still a good place to retire.

However, this is not the way Freya wants to live.

"It's time to leave."

She took a green seed from her waist and flicked it gently.

'Snort. ’

A green glow flashed through the air, and another Freya appeared in front of her.

Freya looked at her doppelganger and said softly.

"You can take good care of them for me."

"I see." The clone nodded.

"Hmm."

She is a clone condensed from the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life, which can last for about a hundred years.

After taking one last look at the villa, Freya exhaled softly, and then stepped lightly, and the surrounding environment quickly receded.

Her whole body jerked light, and by the time her feet were settled, she was back in front of the Rune Department at the Blood Eagle Lord's headquarters.

Just a few rune department wizards wearing white robes and red edges came out of the department, and when they saw Freya, they were slightly stunned, and then bowed their heads respectfully.

"Deputy Minister Freya."

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Freya walked directly into the Rune Department bypassing a few people.

In the deputy minister's office, a large pile of various documents almost filled the huge desk, and behind the documents, a quiet girl with long black hair and glasses was writing something in distress.

Next to her was the meal that had long been cold, and it looked very pitiful.

Freya looked at Wen Li, who was working for her, and knocked lightly on the door.

'Knock knock. ’

Hearing the knock on the door, Wen Liliang reacted for a long time, raised her head and supported the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

When she saw Freya's figure, she was immediately excited.

"Teacher, you're back, I was thinking"

Before she could say anything else, Freya was interrupted with a smile.

"I've worked hard for you these days, and this is compensation for you."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle containing a green liquid from her body and threw it in front of Wen Li.

"What is this?"

Looking at this bottle, Wen Li opened it curiously, and suddenly, a strong breath of life came to her face.

"The spring of life, refreshing and refreshing, is most suitable for wizards who often stay up late and work overtime, how about it."

Freya said with a smile on her face to the excited Wen Li.

In addition to the role she said, it also has a very great benefit to mental power.

Speaking of which, she, the only disciple, except for the basic teachings, all learn and comprehend by herself, unless she really encounters a problem that she can't solve, so she asks for advice, which is very worry-free.

After a long time, when Wen Li's excitement had almost subsided, Freya continued to smile.

"I'm going to go out for a few days recently, and I can only trouble you again these days, after all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"Huh??"

Wen Li, who had just received the spring of life water, was in a happy mood, and her face suddenly collapsed.

However, just as she was about to protest, Freya closed the door to her office and left the Rune Department.

Back at the villa, Freya went to her study.

The desk was still littered with the books they had left before.

Freya sat down on the table behind her desk, figuring out a simple rune from a drawer.

In the center of the rune is inscribed a strange goat's head, which was the rune when she strayed into the World Tower.

"The tragedy of the ancient war of aggression in the other world has almost broken the entire wizarding world, most of the forest kings have completely fallen, but there are also a very small number of survivors, some have gone into a long dormancy to recover their injured bodies, such as the guy in the Ansabella volcano, and some have lost the meaning of their existence and become unconscious powerful wanderers, at most wandering in their former territory like storm whales, but in addition to these, there must still be other forest kings, But where did these guys go? ”

Freya looked at the simple rune array and frowned.

"Also, where did the power of time come from in my soul? It seems that it is better to take a trip to the World Tower. ”

The way the World Tower exists is not necessarily a tall tower, it comes in many forms.

However, Freya, who has been there a few times, can use her breath and the power of time to find the approximate location at her current level.

It's just that if you can't find it, it's another story.

"Anyway, let's give it a try, because the Key of Mystery and my special soul passed through this rune array, and now I've almost figured out the basic structure of the Key of Wonder, so"

After a moment of silence, Freya spread the talisman in her hand on the table, and then muttered a spell.

'Hiss'

A subtle sound came from the rune array, and the demonic goat's head in the center suddenly opened its mouth, spat out a black dagger.

Freya's pupils shrank slightly, and she grabbed the dagger and plunged it directly into her chest.

Her eyes suddenly lit up with a silver glow, and a distorted halo of light spread out from her before the rune could take effect.

"The gate of the cracks of the world! I found it."

Murmuring softly, she clasped her hands lightly, as if grasping something, and then pulled abruptly.

'Click! ’

There was a crisp sound, and in front of Freya, a large translucent hole suddenly formed.

Then Freya didn't want to dive headlong into it. (To be continued......)
