Chapter 193: A Familiar Visitor
Josh took the poster of "The Singer of Nolan" given by Herland and returned to Squirrel Street, where his house was located.
Her home was in an alchemy shop in the deepest part of Squirrel Street, where Josh had lived for as long as he could remember.
Squirrel Street is one of Nolan's most prosperous streets, but due to his father's lack of popularity, the shop has no customers all year round.
The family has always been supported by his mother, who is the apprentice of the Purple Cloth.
Josh pushed open the door of her alchemy shop, just as she expected... There is still not a single customer in the store.
As Josh prepares to put her backpack down, her sister runs down the stairs in a panic.
"Sister..."
Before she could react, a girl who was slightly shorter than her threw herself into her arms.
"What's wrong?"
She touched her sister's forehead with her hand, she was different from her sister... Joya inherited most of her father's characteristics, and her eyes and hair were all the same color.
But this sister has had a strange physical trait since birth, that is, when she is in a state of panic or frightened... Will it change color, or will it fade?
Josh looked at his sister in his arms, half of her long jet-black hair had turned pure white.
This fading is not only reflected in the hair, but also on Joya's skin.
"Upstairs... Upstairs......" Joya pointed to the stairs and didn't know how to organize her language, "yes... A girl I haven't seen before. β
"Don't be afraid, it might just be a guest... Let's go up and have a look. β
Josh comforts her sister, unlike her... Although Joya's appearance and age are not much different from her, her mind is still in the realm of a child.
As a result, Josh has already started to attend the Higher School of Magic, but this sister still stays at home and lives on the magic net game.
Another point is that I am very afraid of life.
Josh and his sister approached the stairs, and as they prepared to go upstairs, they grabbed a long magic wand as a weapon to defend themselves.
She couldn't rule out the possibility that the store might be a thief.
Qiao Ya grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes and walked up cautiously, her hair gradually changing from white to black along the way... It's also a sign that her mood is becoming stable.
"Should I celebrate? You're back. β
When Josh came to the second floor, she heard her father's voice Qiao Xiu across the room, and she made a boo gesture to her sister, quietly listening to the conversation inside.
"I'll talk about the celebration later, I still have some things I want to talk to you about."
I don't know the voice of a woman!
Josh heard this, and instantly grasped the magic wand in his hand with both hands.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Qiao Xiu held his chin with his hand and looked at the person in front of him, it was the light spirit Herolia who had turned into a seed a long time ago.
This thing will be resurrected and appear in front of him again, Qiao Xiu is not surprised at all... Unexpectedly, when I met Herolia for the first time, I felt the urge to hug this guy.
But the smile on her face full of ridicule reminded Qiao Xiu that this guy is still the same guy he was back then... Saint.
So what do you want to say? I'm retired, albeit temporarily. β
Joshua tossed Herolia a bottle of lemon-flavored Coke, the latest flavor to be introduced.
"About another continent, the land of Aleslota... Now most of it is deserted. β
Herolia was not polite, and after taking the drink from Qiao Xiu's hand, she directly changed the topic... Go to the top of the main line.
"Uh, I'm not interested in Aleslota anymore, don't give me any more main quests as soon as you come back to life, okay?"
Qiao Xiu hadn't paid attention to Aleslota during this time, although he would occasionally hear some news about Aleslota.
But the erosion of the gray fog has caused great damage to that continent, the biggest of which is the mass extinction of the creatures that live on Aleslota.
This is true for animals and plants... The collapse of the ecosystem is not a problem that Qiao Xiu can solve.
This has also led to the large-scale wind-sand Gobi transformation of the land of Aleslota into an uninhabited territory.
Uninhabited means land that no one owns, just like a certain eagle sauce western frontier, and now there are many gold prospectors who take special ships to Aleslota in search of opportunities.
These are all things that have nothing to do with Qiao Xiu.
"You have taken away the two most important cores of Aleslota, and the land of Aleslota wants to be revived... Those two cores are the most important. Heloria said.
"After what happened, you decided to save the world again?" Qiao Xiu asked.
"That thing will invade through the most vulnerable places in the world, and Aleslota is the most vulnerable place."
Herolia had apparently noticed that someone was eavesdropping, so she used some pronouns to communicate with Josiu.
"There's no way I'm going to pay back the core, give up." Once again, Qiao Xiu rejected Helolia's offer.
"Returning them is just one way, and the other way is that you raise them." Herolia explained her true intentions.
"Cultivate?"
Before Qiao Xiu's words could be finished, the door of the room was slowly opened.
Josh's two daughters, Josh and Joya, were standing in the doorway.
As the eldest sister, Josh held a staff tightly in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on Heloria, who was sitting opposite Joshy.
As a younger sister, Qiao Ya hid behind her sister and looked at the scenery in the room curiously.
"Uh... Let me tell you, this isβ" Joshua rubbed his forehead as he pondered how to introduce Herolia to his two daughters.
She jumped off the bench herself.
"Hello, my name is Hloria." She enthusiastically told them her name.
"Father... Who is she? β
Josh ignored Heloria's self-introduction and stared at Joxiu with a scrutinizing look, she just wanted to hear Josiu tell Herolia's identity in person.
"She..."
"I grew up under your father's care, and I apologize to you for disturbing you... I... It's time to go, too. β
Wait, what's going on with your confusing explanation!
Although Qiao Xiu did start cultivating the World Tree of Light Elves some time ago, Herolia's ability to have a human form again also had a lot to do with the growth of the World Tree.
But Heloria's statement is too ambiguous.
The key is that Helolia's acting skills are still the same as they were back then, and her tone and expression sound like an adopted child outside, uneasy and lost when she meets her own children.
She was about to leave the place, but Josh called out to her.
"Would you like to have dinner together?" Josh asked.
