"Tomorrow will be 27 years, time flies so fast, last year I was still a little prince waiting for death. ”

"Yes, I was a harmless little lord this time last year. ”

"Duke, evil criminals or terrible demon kings would say that......"

"Ahaha, slip of the tongue slip of the tongue ......"

In the central square of Beta City, Litchie said goodbye to Prince Rimako.

Li Qi persuaded Prince Rimac to stay for a while, and the prince had originally planned to do so. But not only was Theresia in a hurry, but there seemed to be something wrong with the court of the Kingdom of Sachidon, and he had to leave immediately, not even having time to stay and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Richie.

"That...... Duke, about my subordinates ......"

The prince squirmed for a while, and finally got down to business. Behind him, there were only about a hundred officers and men of the Seventy-fourth Army Corps.

The 74th Army had more than 500 people to help, except for the dozens of casualties in the first battle, the subsequent work was only to guard a small section of the defense line on the periphery of Beta City, and to train with the 98th Army Corps, and there were no casualties.

Two days ago, that is, after another conspiracy to sabotage the Holy Light Fortress, the two legions that were ambushed carried out a military exercise during the retreat.

The so-called drill is to find out all the demonic beasts, undead and various threats to mortals along the way. Kill all monsters, burn all nests, and steal all your ill-gotten gains, including the nuclei in their bodies.

This exercise was huge, and in an area of hundreds of kilometers, from low-level corrupt beasts to sixth-level bone dragons, no one was spared. During this period, he also defeated tens of thousands of skeleton undead who emerged from a swamp, the undead army that was enough to wreak havoc on a small country, was bombed by countless magic fire bombs and powerful magic cannons, and few of them rushed through the line of fire for hand-to-hand combat, leaving an extremely deep impression on the onlookers of adventurers.

There were not many casualties in the exercise, but after returning to the camp, the 74th Army was almost wiped out.

More than 100 people claimed to have "corrupt gas syndrome" and were bedridden, and more than 100 people had "severe altitude sickness" and could not act. Dozens of them were missing, and dozens of mothers-in-law with big bellies came to the prince, with tears in their eyes.

None of them are willing to leave......

During the period of the Divine Fall Plateau, he united with the Ninety-eighth Army and formed a deep combat friendship, and Aurora, who turned into a propaganda cardinal, was embarrassed to make up such words, and the idle Saqidans and the wood-headed Hadron never liked each other.

These Sachedonians were attracted by the eye-catching generous treatment of the Ninety-Eighth Legion, and during this period of joint training, they ate and lived comfortably, and their daily treatment was much better than when they were in the north.

Not only that, the officers and men of the 98th Army do not have to think about food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons and equipment, and their salaries calculated according to the level of strength and positions are equivalent to more than ten times their salary!

What's even more terrifying is that the soldiers of the 98th Legion are still being spurred on all the time, forcing them to progress and upgrade! Over the course of a few months, a large number of soldiers who can only mutilate divine arts have been promoted to the first level, and many of them have even mastered multiple divine arts.

Of course, there are also a lot of weirdness in the Ninety-Eighth Legion. Most of their officers were clergy of the Crimson Church, and in addition to the traditional officers of all ranks, there were some kind of "political commissars". These commissars have the same power as the captain, and everything has to be decided by the captain and the commissar together, and sometimes even all the Crimson Crimson Clergy in the squadron meet together, making the entire legion more like the Knights Templar of the Crimson Church.

This is not a shocking thing, the Ninety-Eighth Legion was originally owned by the Eros Pope Duke Prell, and it is not surprising that it has become the Knights of the Templar of the Crimson Church.

So, apart from the prince's attendants and subjects, the rest of the Sachedonians wanted to stay.

Of course, Prince Rimac was unwilling, these veterans were both transcendent and had rich combat experience, and without them, the Seventy-Fourth Legion would be scattered from the skeleton.

"Two Finney Type 27 Elite Magic Guns per person, one Finney Type 27 Storm Gun, one Magic Fire Bomb, and one Magic Fire Barrel for every three people. ”

The list of compensation reported by Li Qi made the heaviness on Prince Rimako's face fade for a minute, the cheapest thing in Saqiton is people. With enough equipment, what skeleton, won't there be a new one after two battles?

"One four-rate magic cannon for every fifty people, and one nine-rate magic cannon for every two hundred people. ”

The final report made Prince Rimako smile like spring, and he even glanced at the troops behind him, wondering whether to keep these people.

Fortunately, the remaining shred of reason stopped the prince, and even these seedlings were gone, and it was not so easy to build another legion.

Prince Rimac hugged Richie affectionately and said goodbye. As he stepped through the portal, the prince sighed regretfully, and a haunting figure did not appear.

This movement didn't hide from Li Qi, and he hated to think, this guy is still thinking about Aurora, is he getting more trachoma and cracks in his magic cannon?

Seeing off Remaco, Richie walked in the other direction, humming a little song as he walked, because he was in a good mood.

Donn was sent by him to the kingdom of Hadron to recruit immigrants. Of course, Don thought that he was recruiting, and he would find that he would never be able to fill the pit of the 98th Legion if he worked hard to the death.

The Ninety-Eighth Army still had only one brigade on its books, that is, the size of a thousand people. But with the addition of the veterans left behind by the Seventy-fourth Legion, Li Qi had already put together a second brigade. It's just that this brigade did not belong to the Ninety-eighth Army Corps, and was drawn to Beta City, and was given the nickname of "Beta City Guard Independent Brigade".

Such a "City Guard Independent Brigade" is the same as an independent regiment, and Theresia only gave the establishment of one legion, but Teresia can't care about how many guards she has to raise in her own territory.

The army of two thousand transcendentals, plus all kinds of magic fuses, is nothing in the entire Finn, but in the Divine Fall Plateau, it is already a decisive force.

Richie stepped through the portal, and the light and shadow shifted, returning to the teleportation hall of the Grand Temple of Rose.

The hall is lit up with lights, and the figures are longing. Most of the Epsilon Pioneers who had previously been scattered in various positions have returned and are busy for the Chinese New Year's Eve convention at night.

A while ago, due to the expansion of Beta City, Epsilon became empty for a while, and no new students were recruited. Tarrens, who was sitting in the town, muttered all day long that no new blood would come in, and the church ...... No, the Finn Crimson Community is about to have a crisis of talent disconnection.

The old man walked through the crowd, examining the new faces that were either apprehensive or expectant or frightened, teaching from time to time with a straight face, and the hands behind his back flicked his fingers happily.

There were a lot of red believers in the Legion and the Beta City Immigrant Study Class, and more than 200 advanced elements entered Epsilon and scattered in various departments to study, so that the students who had been immersed in penance in Epsilon for a year were finally promoted to seniors.

"Cardinal!"

Seeing Richie, Tarence raised his hand to greet him, everyone in the hall looked over, and thousands of people shouted at the same time with joy or admiration, and at that moment Richie had a sense of pleasure that was about to fly.

Little Red Riding Hood pop-up: "Sure enough, it's the foundation of the little citizen, and this character has to be practiced well!"

Li Qi replied: "Later, everyone will pray together to our supreme Crimson Lady and offer the most pious and warmest blessings, do you need me to go to the Crimson Shrine to help you stabilize your mortal heart?"

Little Red Riding Hood grinned, "I'm panicking!

Li Qi sneered, "Look, aren't we each other?"

In short, in the eyes of everyone, the chief cardinal, who is handsome, wise, noble, and brave, and the Crimson lady, who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and single-mindedly serving the people, is actually nervous in their hearts. By mocking each other, they survived the Chinese New Year's Eve assembly and collective prayer.

And then there's the show: Eat!

In the square of Epsilon Town, tables are laid out, and in each table is a boiling pot. A variety of meats and vegetables soaked in spices rise, turning the town into a world of food.

People jerkily rummaged through the pot with two small sticks, picking up pieces of vegetables and meat. After stirring in a sesame oil dish made of various condiments, it is put in your mouth, and you can chew it with an intoxicated look and a sigh of admiration.

That's right, everyone eats hot pot.

Li Qi came to Fein, not only to spread the crimson faith, but also to let the Chinese culture take root in Fein and shine, which is the natural mission of the Chinese people in the earth world.

How can you not take out the big killer of hot pot.

Of course, the use of sesame oil instead of sesame paste, and the boiling of red oil in the pot instead of the clear soup and low water, stems from Li Qi's insistence that this is the orthodox hot pot, and the kind of clear soup shabu-shabu dipped in sesame sauce is heresy at all.

In the courtyard in the corner of Epsilon Town, crisp and immature laughter and laughter are heard one after another, and Li Qi and the witches enjoy each other's Chinese New Year's Eve party here.

The tables were all over the courtyard, most of them were pointy-eared gray elf Lori, and Richie naturally sat with Fini Elitina and other witches.

Finney burped, and instead of beer, she drank "Feengvass", a drink made from rusks.

Even if it was just a drink, there was still a faint alcohol content, and the little girl's cheeks were red, and she patted the table and said, "At that time, I waved my hand, and it snowed all over the sky!"

After saying that, she really waved her hand, and there were really snowflakes floating in the air.

"I told you that children can't drink!"

Aurora said worriedly, but she didn't forget to put the last piece of fat cow in the pot in her bowl.

Li Qi diligently took out the fat cow from the space ring and boiled it: "It's okay, it's rare to do it once a year......"

"And, Ellie!"

Aurora worries about another lori: "What are you drinking? That's rye beer! You should be like Finney......

Before she finished speaking, Tina, who was clinking glasses with Ellie, said, "Ellie is just too lazy to become Catherine." ”

"You ......"

Aurora chewed the slices of meat in her mouth and said incoherently: "Don't think that I can't do anything wrong if I don't discipline the cardinal! Li Qi, you are too indulgent to them! You have to fulfill your duties as a guardian to minors!"

The sound was so loud that Eve shuddered, and a large piece of Storm Ocean Snow Whale meat fell on the table, and the newborn witch was so frightened that her head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and Aurora had to suppress her fire to appease her.

"Oh, there's one more babbling butler," Karin muttered as she munched on a huge roast pork leg and glossy mouth.

Li Qi muttered secretly, don't you know enough about what role you are in this big family, erha?

"Haha...... My aunt came twice and said that she would let Li Qi see the skills of the legendary magician, and both times she became a visitor, and when she left, her face was as bad as this leopard liver......"

After a while, two cups of kvass were lowered, and Aurora slapped the table louder than Fini.

By this time, Finney was already wandering around the courtyard, attracting a flurry of snowflakes to the applause of the Rose Witches.

"Snowball fights! In all the stories that Li Qi has told, snowball fights are the repertoire of the New Year!"

Finney skillfully wept in laughter, changed into the form of a witch, and waved her hand to rain down the ice and snow storm, and the heavy snow buried the courtyard gate in an instant.

The Divine Fall Plateau is in the southern part of the continent, and there is no heavy snow, but in a world with extraordinary powers, it can snow at any time.

Amid the cheers, Fini threw herself into the snow with a bunch of loli and started a snowball fight with a giggle.

Finney was too happy to pay attention to the control force, and the yard was soon buried in half of the snow. Li Qi didn't care, just let her clean up by herself when the time came, which was also a profound lesson for her.

"It's beautiful......"

Aurora climbed onto the roof through the snow and sat on the roof tiles, looking up at the falling snowflakes in admiration.

The snowflakes fell on her cheeks, which had turned crimson from the alcohol, and she sighed, "With Fini's painful power, if it weren't for this slight tingling sensation, I really feel like everything is a dream now." ”

"Li Qi", she grabbed Li Qi's arm next to her, and her eyes rolled: "Last year...... No, it's the year before last, and when you saw me, did you think I was very ...... at that time? Debauchery?"

"Yes", Li Qi replied very honestly, he felt that he should tell the truth to the girl: "That dress, it's too immoral!"

Then he groaned in pain, and the soft flesh of his arm was twisted hard by Aurora.

"That dress, I only wore it once when I saw you!"

Aurora said hatefully, "I just want to see your true face!"

"You didn't take a fancy to me at that time, did you? Don't you treat me as a fragrant little fresh meat, thinking that you can take advantage of milk?"

Richie continued to die, and once again cried out in pain.

Aurora said, "I'm here to see if you've changed, if you're still the same dumbfounded, confused little apprentice knight." You probably didn't know that we met when we were in Rakami. ”

Li Qi took a breath, and this is the case!? Why is there no trace in my memory?

With a little bit of alcohol, the secret past that pressed on the bottom of Aurora's heart also spewed out: "To be precise, we saw you, you haven't seen us." ”

Li Qi was stunned: "We?"

"Yes, you are practicing at the Fragrance Noble Academy, and we are also here, but we are not in the same academy. ”

"Every day at noon and in the afternoon, after class, you will go along the narrow passage to the civilian area outside the academy to eat, after all, you are only the son of a little viscount, and you can't afford the academy's consumption at all. ”

"Our academy's cafeteria is just above that passage, and Terexia, Sylvie, and Freya and I watched you walk down the passage while we ate. You cover your cadet uniform with the kind of shabby short cloak that Hadron would wear, and you walk in a hurry every time. We're only halfway through our meal, and you're hurrying back to the academy. ”

Aurora's narration caused Richie to gradually gather fragments of memory, yes, at that time, Teresia and the others were also practicing in Erika. It's just that I didn't expect that Richie Prell hadn't seen them, but his figure had already fallen into their eyes.

At that time, what was Richie Prell thinking? It seemed that he was thinking about eating and going to school, and he didn't even really think about what he was going to do in the future.

Li Qi found a lot of bitter feelings in his old memories, after all, he was young at that time, from a low background (relatively fragrant), alone, and just a small apprentice knight, and he had a hard time in Erixiang. Being able to successfully complete Ika's studies is the greatest success.

"One day, you passed by as usual, and Sylvie said, what a poor little fellow, what kind of future will he have. ”

Aurora smiled, her eyes full of nostalgia for the past: "Freya said that it must be a life of inactivity, but just like countless little lords in the kingdom, it is they who make the kingdom peaceful and peaceful, day by day, forever. ”

"Any idea what Theresia said?"

Aurora blinked, "That's great, Teresia said, but I think even that kind of thing is too difficult for him, and it feels like he's out of place in the world." ”

At that time, Theresia judged herself, no, the former Richie Prell?

Suddenly it dawned on Richie, and he finally understood why Theresia recognized him at a glance in Conrad City. Theresia paid special attention to herself, and not just when they met ten years ago.

"So, the changes you made since then surprised her. ”

Aurora wrapped her arms around Richie, and the touch of her full chest made Richie feel happy.

She didn't even know that her prophecy was right at that time, that you really didn't fit in with the world. But she was wrong, you are here to overthrow the world. ”

I'm really ashamed, I wasn't me at that time.

Li Qi changed the subject and said, "What about you, what did you say?"

Aurora embarrassedly buried her head in his arms: "I said...... It looks delicious, and he should be a handsome guy when he grows up. ”

Sure enough, it's the Aurora!

The bell rang, and Aurora said quietly: "It's 1227 years, how many years are left in this era?" ”

"Although I already know that I want to follow the lady, follow you and fight with you, and I know our goal, every time I think about the past, I feel sad. At that time, we were judging you, but we didn't know that it had only been a few years, Freya had died, and Trecia and Sylvie were trying in vain to save the world, while you and I were preparing to build a new world on the ruins of the old world. ”

Feeling the complex feelings about the world and the individual in Aurora's words, Litchie took her hand and said, "No matter how many years, we will be together",

Although it is a very ordinary love story, it is too rare to say it from Li Qi's mouth, and Aurora's heart is rippling, and she raises her head and takes the initiative to send benefits.

The lips of the two were about to touch, and at the same time they felt that something was wrong, and when they turned their heads, they saw that Elle was behind them, and they watched quietly.

"Hmmm!"

Li Qi kissed Aurora on the face: "Send New Year's wishes!"

Aurora exclaimed, "I did!"

She kissed Li Qi on the cheek: "This is a return gift!"

Aurora pulled Ellie over, and Richie stretched out her arms and hugged her: "Come, Ellie, and send you blessings too!"

The white light flickered, and he hugged a tall beauty.

"Blessing ......"

In the night, in the floating light, the pretty face that was no different from Theresia quickly enlarged, and the smell of fragrance and wine covered Richie, making him suddenly froze.

The hot and smooth flap of his lips was firmly pressed against Richie's lips, and it was only then that he reacted.

"Return ......"

The lips of the two parted, Catherine licked her lips, and two blushes rose on her cheeks, which I don't know if it was wine or shame: "Let's ...... together"

"Ellie...... No, Catherine!"

Aurora came back to her senses: "Are you going to, are you going to say you first?"

Catherine picked up Richie's other arm and repeated in a low voice: "Let's ...... together"

This happiness came so suddenly!

But does it also mean that the Shura field is staged?

Li Qi was a little dizzy, and heard Catherine continue: "Fight!"

Aurora was stunned and chuckled, "Yes, fight!"

"I hear you!"

The air rippled, revealing Tina's figure: "Blessing!"

Aurora on the left, Catherine on the right, and Tina leaning on her back, her head resting on Richie's shoulder, and the three witches looking up at the stars in the snow with Richie.

The brightness of the Kem galaxy and the glittering star of the dawn are a beautiful sight destined for the past, and it is for this reason that it is worth remembering.

In the courtyard, Karin held up a big umbrella to block the snowflakes, looked at the contents of the pot, rubbed her hands, and salivated at the corners of her mouth: "It's all mine, ha......"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and on the other side of the table, Eve held chopsticks like a long sword, looking at the pot, her eyes flashing with the heat of battle.

In the distance, Finney and the Witches of Rose were laughing, and a two-story snowman was taking shape.

In the Crimson Shrine, the aroma was overflowing, and Little Red Riding Hood, Qiu Xiang, Thrush, and You Zan were all surrounded by the boiling hot pot, with intoxicated expressions on their faces.

"At this time last year, you don't know how miserable it was, not to mention hot pot, I had to take off my shoes even to cook noodles. Ah, it's definitely not made of shoes!

Little Red Riding Hood waved his chopsticks and said proudly: "Come, come, come, let's all move! You can eat whatever you want, and you can eat as long as you want! The collective prayer just now stuffed our purses, and the divine power is enough!"
