"Hey, hey, don't ignore me, okay? I'm still here~"

Ilt's voice seemed to be far away, and Tia felt that all she had in her eyes was Alan at the moment, and everything had left her: the familiar red knight's outfit was the first outfit Tia had bought for Alan at Andrew's armor shop, with a black inner lining and matte leather armor nested on the outside, and the domineering silver lion buckle on the belt was still so vivid although the eyes were damaged by sword marks. Although some traces of repair can be seen everywhere in the clothes, most of them are deliberately hidden by the owner of the clothes, the light gold stitches follow Alan's slender legs all the way, and the half-height boots have been re-punched due to frequent use, and the brown laces are scurryed, looking handsome and uninhibited.

And in the same way, in Alan's eyes, time seems to have returned to the way they were when they first arrived in Odaheim, and the elf-like Tia in front of them is still wearing the beautiful mage robe, her long golden hair is tied up in braids and coiled high, and her bangs are braided into a small braid obliquely behind her ears, everything is exactly the same as before, and time seems to be reversed for them.

"Yes, yes, you see that they think I'm going to be abused as a dog again~~~"

Ilt's self-deprecating words finally reached the minds of the two,

"Ilte, why don't you eat it?"

Tia and Alan sat side by side at the table, but Ilt had already walked to the hostess's bar and chatted with the hostess.

"I'm already full, you two eat slowly, I won't bother you."

Tia blushed and took a small bite of bread, while Alan looked at her with a smile on his face. Drinking goat's milk from the hostess.

"Are you going to Sunshine City?"

The proprietress asked while tidying up the bar,

"You don't look like merchants, now everyone wants to come to the royal capital, but you want to leave, it's chaotic outside, especially in the area of the strange mine. Recently, I heard that there are demons infested. ”

"There are demons in the strange mine? When was this? ”

Alan couldn't help but ask, thinking of the bitter battle with Eris in the first place.

"That was not long ago, after the king had left Athenia. Queen Helena sent several teams to investigate, but there seemed to be some casualties, and in the end, I don't know what happened, and now the two exits of the strange mine are guarded by the people of the Knights, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, even those blacksmiths and foundries with martial arts and spells. ”

The hostess's tavern is located on the border of the royal capital and the royal city. The news is very well-informed, and Alan plans to take this opportunity to find out more news.

"Has anyone seen those demons? What does it look like? ”

"How can anyone ever see someone who is still alive, now the news has been blocked by the Knights, it seems that there must be something terrible in this mountain, but this strange mine covers a very wide area, just blocking the two exits, there will still be some good people climbing up from the back mountain. So, two days ago the king ordered. The archmage who sent a few mage towers and enchanted the entire strange mine. It's strange to say, since you can keep the monster inside, can't you really send someone to destroy it? After all, this mountain is the only mine that our two main cities rely on, and in the long run, the export volume of ore will be insufficient. Maritime trade will also have an impact, right? My small shop is also supported by these merchants, and I don't know how to live in the future. ”

The proprietress seemed to be really worried about the future development of her tavern, holding a wine glass in her hand, wiping it and wiping it, it was so clean that it could be used as a mirror. Alan and Ilt exchanged glances. Each other seems to be interested in this matter.

"Boss, don't worry, the king will definitely think of a solution to this matter, in the past, whether it was the royal capital or the Sunshine City, as long as a major incident happened, our king was not properly solved, so don't listen to outsiders, you are a big scenery in the royal city, and it is also an important witness for many people to leave memories here, everyone likes your goat's milk and toast, even if there is something wrong with the mine, you will not go wrong here."

Tia stepped forward, held the hand of the proprietress and comforted her, the proprietress was comforted by such a lovely girl, so naturally the clouds dissipated and smiled.

The three of them returned to Tia's bedroom, Ilt sat cross-legged on the floor, Tia sat on the edge of the bed, and Alan dragged a chair to sit down.

"Tia, Ilte, I originally planned to talk about the itinerary and direction of our trip after meeting with Qile, but after I thought about it, it seems that we need to give the itinerary first."

"Well, I think so too, the matter of the strange mine is very strange, before leaving, the king didn't reveal this matter to us, judging from the news from the outside, this matter is not necessarily related to the demon race, but more like the king deliberately arranged it."

Ilt seemed to have pinched the crux of the matter, and Alan nodded in agreement.

"It is strange that my father knew that we would have to go back to the house of Ilt in Odaheim and that we would have to pass through the strange mines, but he did not tell us about it."

Tia also felt that things were a little confusing.

"Let's not guess, let's make a plan for the time being."

Alan took out the map from his bag, and the three of them sat around,

"Alan, let's do it, I'll send a message to Qile and ask him to rush to Xingyu Lake by tonight, so that we don't have to go to my house to meet."

Ilt counted the time and thought that the two teams should be able to meet by evening.

"That's fine, then do it, Ilte, you are in charge of delivering the message, and after joining up with Qile, let's go to the strange mine first, because that's also the only way to Odaheim. Then we will leave from the Forest of the Philosophers, and if nothing else, we will return to Dax in the same way that my father and I came, and the "Genesis Poem" must be there! ”

"Good!"

"Hmm!"

With the approval of Tia and Ilt, the three of them went back to their rooms, took their luggage, and gathered at the door of the tavern.

"O spirit of nature, who is favored by the goddess of nature, I summon you in the name of the goddess of nature to come and obey my commands, with light as the door and time and space as the boundary, to help me! ――Nature Elf Summoning! ”

Ilt activated a spell at the door, summoning the spirits of nature to come to help, and soon a group of forest spirits flew in, swirling happily around the three of them, and golden powder fell from the sky. (To be continued.) )
