"Less than half a month." Seeing Rita ask for the time, Navis opened his mouth. Half a month ago, he received a message on the night of the siege, and after that, Navis rushed back here without stopping. As for Dalena's first return here because today is January 1st, the beginning of the new year, and everyone in the Islamic continent will go home on this day to reunite, although she and Elias Olnis do not deal with each other, but they will not ignore this day, after all, there are people she cares about here.

Of course, Vance's decision to place the succession ceremony on this day was also motivated by this reason, because the mood was generally high everywhere on this day, so that Yilai would not be too resistant to the replacement of the ruler.

"Half a month...... Rita repeated Navis's words in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity on her face, half a month is not a long time, it is not short, but if it falls on a missing person...... It's not so easy to say, although she knows that this situation should be thought of on the bright side, but the reality is never kind to you.

"I've been sending people to look for me for the past few days since I came back, but even if I searched through the entire empire, I didn't find any trace, let alone find His Highness himself."

"In other words, Ronald is not in the empire now......" Rita raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, how many days has it been that the people in front of him have turned the empire over? You must know that the territory of the empire is not small, especially in this place where the means of transportation are very backward, even if it is just to run such a large area of land, it will take a lot of time, let alone find people. But what does Navis say? Already turned the empire over? It's not that she doesn't believe it, it's just that this thing sounds like it is ...... If you don't think about it, you don't think it's anything, but once you think about it...... Well, it's scary to think about it, and I still don't think much about it.

"Have you looked for those mountains and forests?" Rita looked at Navis with some doubts, you must know that these places now are not like before, as long as there are people with some strength, they dare to run inside.

"I've found it, although it took a lot of effort."

Navis's voice was faint, but Rita still heard a trace of sadness from his words, presumably a lot of people died in order to find Ronald...... The girl thought like this, and at the same time, she couldn't help but provoke a touch of sadness in her heart. She is not a cold-blooded person, although her experience has changed her a lot, but as a bystander, she is still prone to sympathy, otherwise she would not have tried to help those homeless children in the first place: I don't know what happened to those little ones, maybe when the matter at hand is over, she can go back to the bamboo forest to see them, and bring some gifts by the way.

The thoughts in her mind were only a moment outside, and Rita pursed her lips to look at the person in front of her before she could speak, when she heard Navis's voice come again: "But there are some places that still can't be reached, especially Silent Hill." ”

"I've also heard of the changes over there in Silent Hill, since your people can't get in, it means that it's unlikely that Ronald will appear in those places, and if you think about it in another way, even if someone else is in those places, you can't get in, you're blind." Rita analyzed, but the words she said were very straightforward, "Pay attention to some surrounding countries, especially some mountains, forests, like these inaccessible places, of course, there are some more remote villages, towns, as for those big towns, you can put them last, after all, there should be many people like His Highness who know him, if he appears in these places, there will be no problem in terms of security." ”

"You're right, and it's a good way to narrow down the investigation and save time." Navis was calm, he could not only understand Rita's thoughts, but also imaginable, but due to the impact of Ronald's disappearance, there were some things that he didn't notice even now, and he was concerned about it.

"You just get it." Rita waved her hand, looking like she didn't want to continue talking, "Anyway, I'll help with this matter, but you don't have to expect too much in terms of the result, after all, I'm only one person." ”

As she spoke, Rita raised her feet and walked directly towards the window, but as soon as one hand was on the edge of the window, the whole person paused slightly, and then turned her head to look at Navis: "Oh, that's right." ”

"Anything else?" Navis looked at Rita, a little confused.

"Do you know which direction Dalena's girl is going?"

"Princess?" Navis was slightly stunned, then frowned and thought for a moment before speaking again, "Princess Dalena's words, I remember going south, but as I said before, I don't know her specific location, and with the princess's habits, even if she walked towards the south at the beginning, it is not strange that she appears in the north now." ”

Dalena's fun-loving temperament is very clear to him, Ronald, and Angelo, and Rita, although she has not been with Dalena for a long time, she can vaguely guess it from her daily behavior and habits. But even so, she didn't agree too much with Navis's statement, after all, in her eyes, Dalena, although playful and a little temperamental, was fundamentally a good boy with a good heart, after all, it was basically impossible for a real traitor to lend a hand to a stranger, even if it was ...... It's just a matter of raising your hands.

In addition, Dalena's heart is very delicate, she can detect whether the other party's feelings for her are pure or have another purpose, and Rita guesses that this is mostly related to those experiences when she was a child. However, even if she knew this, Rita couldn't say it here, so she simply nodded, said "I'll take care of it" and left the villa.

In addition, she always felt that Dalena should know something, and as for finding Ronald, Rita was not very strong in this kind of thought, because she didn't think anything would happen to that man, although she only relied on her unfounded intuition instincts, but she thought so.

……

And just as Rita was on her way again, Dalena took the four of her to the Erdakoya Mountains.

"Captain, it should be okay here, right?"

Not long after the group entered the Erdakoa Mountains, Aprile opened her mouth directly, and Bernice, who was standing next to her, wrestled her wrist with a look of eagerness.

"Yes...... ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bernice immediately dodged and left the place, looking as impatient as she could, and Aprile followed without saying anything after glancing at the other three. As for Dalena, she tugged at the corners of her mouth and swallowed back the unspoken words, she had just seen a smile on April's indifferent face that had not changed for thousands of years? No, she should have read it wrong, right?

"It seems that they have changed a lot."

Ye Lianli said with some relief, and then her eyes fell on Dalena's body, because she had been silently watching, so she could detect even the slightest change, and among them, the biggest change was the girl beside her, with long fiery red hair and a stunned face. Maybe in the eyes of others, Dalena doesn't seem to have changed at all, but Ye Lianli knows that her change is a change that only lies in her heart.

"It's people who change." Dalena hooked her lips and smiled, because of Rita, she was no longer the same as before.

"What about me? What about me? ”

The anxious tone seemed to be looking for a sense of existence, Dalena glanced at Angel, who was raising her hand and constantly jumping and behaving like a child, and suddenly played: "You......"

"Uh-huh." Angel nodded expectantly, her eyes even blinking at Dalena.

"Of course there are changes......"

"Uh-huh, what is it?"

"It's sillier and cuter." The red lips closed one by one, and the words that came out made Ye Lianli on the side laugh directly without holding back, and Angel opened her mouth even wider, and she didn't react for a long time. As for Dalena seeing her like this, she directly reached out and pinched Angel's cheek, and sighed with a smile while pinching: "Well, it's really soft." ”

"Sister Ye......" finally escaped from Dalena's clutches, Angel pouted slightly and threw herself directly into Dalena's arms, and at the same time, the big wet eyes fell on Ye Lianli's eyes and instantly sprouted her heart.

"Well, let's stop crying." Gently rubbing Angel's little head, Ye Lianli squinted her eyes and said comfortingly.

And Dalena, who was on the side, suddenly had a bad premonition when she saw someone's appearance, and she was about to turn around and slip away, but as soon as her footsteps were raised, Ye Lianli's faint voice came from behind her: "Princess, where are you going, huh?" ”

The sudden rise in tone and the long protracted voice made Dalena stiff, and then Dalena turned around and looked at Ye Lianli who was holding Angel in her arms, and her face was instantly filled with a bright smile at the same time as she turned around: "Sister Ye, I'm just a little worried and want to go and see." ”

"See what?" Ye Lianli raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"Bernice and April, of course." Dalena took two steps back "without a trace" and said with a pretense of composure, "It's been a while since they've been there, and I'm worried about it as the captain. ”

A serious word, even Ye Lianli, who was used to seeing someone playing treasure, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth for a while, and before she could say anything, Dalena opened her mouth again: "Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look, as long as they're okay, I'll ...... back."

"Captain, we're back......"
