With the idea that 'people can't be too comfortable', I took off the crown and put it back on Barbara's head.

Everyone who was enjoying it suddenly lost the shroud of light, and their faces were instantly lost, and their eyes were full of confusion, like salted fish that had just been dried and lost their dream of swimming in the sea.

"Xiao Yi~" Xiao Leimi, who was sitting on my neck, kept patting the top of my head with her little hand: "Wear it for a while~"

The phoenix also looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

Even Cagalli changed her eldest sister's demeanor, looking at me with a feminine look, and her eyes could flow water.

But Barbara was still arrogant, she didn't want to think about it, she slapped the crown on my hand, and said to me with her chin: "Put it on, this queen hasn't enjoyed enough light to bathe!" ”

Ben Queen?

When did she become queen?

In my memory, how gentle and energetic Barbara used to be, except for being lazy at work, she was alive and kicking at other times, and I didn't see her have any tsundere behavior.

It seems that since the first conflict with Phoenix in the café, her whole person has changed, and her hidden tsundere attributes have also been excavated, and she shouts that she is the queen all day long - this title seems to be only for me.

Could it be that the appearance of the phoenix activated her vinegar jar nature, and a series of unknown mutations occurred, and the result became what she is now?

I am quite puzzled by this.

After ten minutes of reluctance, the men and women around him slept together, most of them were lying on the grass with their limbs stretched out, with happy expressions on their faces, as if they had eaten a top-notch meal in a dream.

Among the companions, the only one who didn't sleep seemed to be Mr. Taylor.

The old man looked at the crown on my head and my face from beginning to end, and although his upper and lower eyelids were repeatedly closed together, he finally forced his eyes open with great willpower.

Even in order to stay sober, he even filled a full bottle of wine in one go!

Isn't alcohol used to help you sleep?

I slept for half an hour, and when I woke up, everyone had a satisfied expression, and I found that everyone's eyes were brighter than ever.

"I've slept so much" Lirea stretched, blinking her starry eyes, which were brighter than usual.

"It's good for Xiao Yi to wear a crown," Yura laughed, "It helps us sleep." ”

"Yes!" "Yes!"

......

Yura's words elicited a chorus of 'approval'.

"But what the hell is this crown?" Cagalli said with a flick of her chin with her right hand.

"I don't know," I said, putting the crown back on Barbara's head, "I guess it's a metal, but it feels a bit like stone, and I'm not an expert on it, so I can't really say for sure." ”

"Do you want to go back to the city and ask an expert?" Cagalli proposed, "We're going back to town on a magic airship anyway." ”

I shook my head and proposed, "If you want to find out what this thing is, I think it's better to ask the Fairy Empress directly, and of course, you can also go to Master Dewey, after all, they are well-informed and experts in this area." ”

"Well, that's a good idea," Lirea said, "if you want to find out where the mystery comes from, it's best to ask the well-informed elders directly, I think Master Dewey should be more authoritative than Her Majesty the Fairy Empress in this regard." ”

"Not necessarily," said Yura, "you see the workmanship of the crown and the carving of the pattern, it doesn't seem like it came from the hands of goblins, their craftsmanship is definitely not so delicate, if you want to say that it is precise, it has to be ......."

"Elves!"

This was said by Jura and Lirea together.

Emily took the crown off Barbara's head, looked at it carefully, and said, "This crown is not from the hands of elves. ”

"Huh?" The two women spoke up at the same time, puzzled: "Do you have research in this area?" ”

"I can't say there's any research," said Emily, "but I've been trained in this area, and I know how to draw and make elven products, and while elves are more sophisticated than other races, they are nowhere near that." ”

"Could it be that a certain generation of elves has given birth to a unique master of carving, who has spent his whole life and devoted his life's learning to make such a stunning crown?" I guessed.

"No," Emily said lightly, "If there is, it will definitely be used as a model and passed down from generation to generation." ”

Spreading my hands, I said, "In that case, then forget it, let's go back by airship first, and when I see the Fairy Empress, just ask her." ”

Leaning back on the couch, I fiddled with the two vials in my hand, which contained two colorful spiders and scorpions, a species I had never seen before.

I try to look at these things behind people's backs, because women don't like them, and men either want to kill them or they just want to put them together and see which one is better.

I didn't catch them to make the guys happy, I wanted to know them and see if I could figure out the origin of the desolate tomb.

There is only one thing I regret the most about this trip to the Deserted Tomb, that is, I didn't bring a tape recorder.

I didn't understand the words that the phantom introduced himself to at all, and I didn't have the superpower to hear it, and now that I think about it, it has long become vague, let alone repeated.

A day and a half had passed in the blink of an eye, and the magic airship had finally arrived in Moonlight City.

The periphery of the Magic Airship Base was already full of people, all of whom were excited elven residents, and they came to celebrate the return of the Rose Legion.

Emily told me that similar celebrations had been performed for many years, and that in the hearts of the populace, whatever the Rose Legion had achieved, they were their heroes.

Of course, the Rose Legion has never disappointed the people who are looking forward to the return of heroes, and every time they return, they have been accompanied by impressive results - although they have never won first place since the elves were banished.

Emily deserved to be so popular, and as escorts, we chose the other path and slipped back to the treehouse first.

During this time, I was not at home, and the fairy queen had always sent someone to clean up, otherwise it would have been like a mountain of ashes.

After tidying up my luggage a bit, I hurried to the palace with two of the stones, two vials containing bugs, and a crown that had been carried by Remy.

When I arrived at the palace gate, the guards greeted me and asked me what was in the vial.

I handed the vial to the two of them separately and said, "Don't open it, this insect is very poisonous, I caught it from the mausoleum." ”

The two guards took a moment's look, quickly handed the vial back to me, and continued to stand guard.

I quipped, "Why don't you ask me what I'm going to do with the two poisonous insects?" ”

The two guards shook their heads at the same time and said, "This is an elder's matter, and we have no right to intervene." ”
