Lower Nolan.

Since the advent of patent law, there has been a craze around invention in Nolan, where magicians have established workshops of all sizes, and the Lower Town is one of the most densely populated areas of this kind.

It's just that the workshops here belong to the kind of magician apprentices who are not very famous, and only hope that one day their work will be noticed by some big businessman, and then become a master like those great inventors.

Herlan is also one of many apprentices to be a magician, but her ambitions are far more noble than those of her classmates who only care about money and status.

She wanted fame, and she hoped that the new magic machine she had built would be displayed at the Universal Exposition in two months' time, so that the world would know her name, as well as her last name, Lloydle.

It was the wish of her mother, who had died at an early age, and the work that Herlan was preparing to participate in the fair was also her mother's legacy.

Unfortunately, the reality was far more brutal than Herlan had imagined, and the three-dimensional plotters she built were far less valuable than those so-called 'new means of transportation that could replace horses'.

After all, any painter likes to paint on real paper, and no one wants to paint on a projection refracted by magic, turning their work into a storage unit inside an inscription.

So Herland was hesitant to give up her studies and go back to school to finish her studies, having missed several classes in a row in order to catch up with the World Exposition.

If this continues, she may not even be able to get a fourth-level magician certificate after graduation.

Herlan put down the tool in her hand to inscribe the inscription, and she heard someone knocking on the door.

Could it be that the classmate ran over to persuade him to give up? Herlan straightened up the long light gray hair behind her waist and walked quickly to the door of her alchemy workshop, and through the window next to the door, she saw a relative who had been missing for almost half a year...... Her sister.

…………

Under Qiao Xiu's persecution, Ciri could only obediently take Qiao Xiu to the door of his sister's residence.

Bringing a dangerous demon to a loved one is an evil deed that will be spurned if it is spoken.

Ciri admits that she is indeed greedy for life and is afraid of death, and whoever has a time bomb in her neck will not dare to pat her chest openly and say, 'I'm fucking fearless'.

And Qiao Xiu is not as bad as Ciri imagined.

"Ciri, where have you been for half a year?!"

Herlan pushed open the door of the workshop, looking up and down at her sister, whom she hadn't seen for half a year.

"A lot of places..."

Ciri thought about it, but still didn't tell Herlan about the fact that he had recently gone to the Demon Realm to live for half a month.

"That's... This one is. ”

Hellan didn't punish her sister for her sudden disappearance, but looked at Josiu, who was standing behind Ciri.

"The friend Ciri met on her travels, my name is Joshy."

Qiao Xiu told the tall woman in front of him that he had planned to introduce himself a long time ago, Sister Ciri's height was about the same as Ciri, but her figure was far ahead of her sister, and her temperament was much more mature and quiet than Ciri.

"Herlan Leudel, Ciri has trouble you to take care of it during this time, please come in and sit down for a while."

Herlan doesn't look like Ciri's sister, but more like Ciri's mother.

Under Herlan's words, Ciri could only obediently walk into the alchemy workshop, and Qiao Xiu did not walk into it politely.

The layout of this alchemy workshop is much simpler than Qiao Xiu imagined, and compared to the experimental site of the Demon Prince, this place really greatly satisfies Qiao Xiu's little cleanliness.

In the center of the workshop was a pale blue cube, and the translucent phantom on it caught Qiao Xiu's attention...

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, can you please go somewhere to rest first? I have something I want to ask my sister. ”

Herlan grabbed Ciri's arm, a stance that seemed to be not allowed even if Ciri wanted to escape.

"Absolutely."

After seeing each other for so long, Qiao Xiu left enough space for the two sisters to be alone.

Herlan took her sister's hand all the way to a cubicle in the workshop, she glanced at Qiao Xiu on the other side of the workshop, and after confirming that Qiao Xiu was not paying attention, she lowered her voice and asked Ciri.

"Last time, you ran away from home for a year and got a second-level magician certificate back, and this time you ran away from home for half a year and brought a man back, Xiri, didn't I tell you that you have to tell me first in terms of different **?"

"Sister! I'm nineteen years old. ”

Ciri bit her lower lip and retorted to her sister with words that she didn't know how many times.

Ciri's life was neither tragic nor happy, her mother died when Ciri was ten years old, and her irresponsible father abandoned Ciri and her sister in the same year, so Ciri and Herlan lived together for the past nine years.

From the age of fifteen, Ciri thought she was capable of self-reliance, but her sister Herland seemed to think that she would never grow up...... At first, because of such a naïve reason, and because he couldn't stand the chatter of the academic teachers in the school, Ciri chose to run away from home.

"Indeed, you are an adult, so can you tell me the identity of one of the guests who came so far with you? And how did you meet him? ”

Herlan's problem was that Heri was completely stumped.

Joe Xiu's identity? Do the three princes of the Demon Realm count?

But if Ciri said it truthfully, Herlan might call the police as soon as possible, and Nolan's garrison would rush over and arrest Joshua in an instant, and then this time bomb on Ciri's neck would separate her head from her body.

"Is this a gift from him?"

Ciri's subconscious touch of her neck made Herlan notice that there was a beautiful necklace around her sister's neck.

"It's a flame crystal... Ciri: This is a very precious gift. ”

Herlan recognized the red hedron that Ciri was wearing around her neck.

Of course Ciri knew it was valuable, because it was worth her life!

"Sister, that guy named Qiao Xiu is just an ordinary... Artist, but some of the things he made were still interesting. ”

Ciri has been with Qiao Xiu for so long, and has also learned some strange words, including those small programs that Qiao Xiu sent to Ciri.

"Something interesting?"

"That's it..."With a wave of her hand, Ciri showed Herlan the game 'Ping Pong' that Josiu had transmitted to her consciousness, and the Ping Pong showed a 1:210 record.

However, judging from Herlan's puzzled expression, she still didn't understand what the number meant.

"I think he seemed to do it."

Along the way, Qiao Xiu taught Ciri how to 'transfer' the program, Ciri was quite talented, and it took a day to master it, and a faint cube appeared in Ciri's hand, and she handed it directly to Herlan.

Among the gods that Herlan believes in is the god of order that Ciri believes, and in addition to Herlan's belief in the 'God of Flowing Water and Healing Swengelk', Herlan received the program that Ciri 'transmitted' to her without any hindrance.

The interface of the ping-pong was displayed in front of Herran, and looking at the window fluttering in his field of vision, Herlan had a wonderful feeling.
