Volume 3: The Clash of Light and Darkness One Hundred and Seventy, The Eve of the Great War (II)

Minna ran over and said happily, "Dad, it's so good that you're still here!" ”

An Long asked with some surprise: "Didn't Melori say that he sent you to Shaonan?" How did you end up in Shaonan? ”

"I'm on a mission, and I'm going back to Sico, "Dad, you're going to Sico tomorrow, aren't you?" Let's go together! ”

An Long carefully looked at his daughter's face, which seemed to be quite ruddy, so he smiled and nodded in agreement, raised his eyes to look at his wife, and frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that you should go back to Ito?" What are you doing in Chiton? ”

Dora brushed her windswept hair: "Minna came to the Northern Fortress to find us, and I came with her"

"Nonsense!" An Long was a little displeased, "This place is too close to the front line, in case Xike is lost, it won't take three days, and the demonic beast will hit here, isn't it too dangerous for a woman to stay in this kind of place?" Go back to Ito! ”

Dora was a little aggrieved, but when she saw the worried look in her husband's eyes, her heart softened, and she said: "Okay, you are going to leave tomorrow, you will listen to me tonight, our family will have a good meal and wait for you to leave, I will go to the dock immediately, take a boat south to Matt, and wait for you to come back to pick me up."

An Long thought about it, and felt that it would be better to go from Qiton to Matt, the waterway was faster, and Matt Harbor was safer than Ito, in case the war situation was unfavorable, he only needed to take a boat out of the port, he slowed down his voice: "Let's do it, when I finish the battle with the child, I will go to Matt to pick you up and go home"

Dora answered softly, stretched out a warm hand from under the cloak, held Anlong's tightly, the two looked at each other and smiled, only to feel that the tenderness was infinite at the moment, until Alex next to them coughed lightly They didn't wake up, and when they saw their daughter snickering on the side, they all felt a little embarrassed Dora glared at Minna, and then turned her head to pretend to look at the scenery

Minna smiled and pulled Alex: "Dad, let me introduce you, this is my good friend Alex, I went with him on this mission, he is a very powerful magician!" ”

An Long scrutinized the handsome young man with a little arrogance in front of him, and for some reason, he intuitively didn't like the other party

Alex smiled slightly and saluted him: "Alex. It's an honour for Mandheling to know you."

Mandheling?! An Long covered the shock in his eyes, and quickly glanced at his daughter, seeing that she was still smiling, he replied quietly: "Fortunately, I am An Long. Shaw - Cardo"

Dora leaned next to her husband and whispered: "It's okay, this kid is not a bad person" An Long didn't say anything, just smiled and asked, "Are you also going to Xike tomorrow?" ”

"In fact... I'm going to go now," Alex noticed the wariness in Anlong's eyes, and felt that he had better go first, because he valued Minna, or Minter, who had been a common enemy, and who was not close to her parents

Minna was taken aback when she heard his words: "What are you talking about?!" Didn't you say you were going back together?! ”

Alex raised an eyebrow: "I want to send the spring back to Van Ah as soon as possible, it's still early, I can walk dozens of kilometers more, why waste time?" ”

"Then I..."

"You can stay here with your parents!" Alex interrupted her, "Even if you go with me, you still have to be separated when you get to Siko, it makes no difference or do you think I don't have the ability to protect the spring and return to Siko?" ”

"Of course not!" Minna knew how proud the other party was, and hurriedly denied it, "That... Well, be careful on your way and I'll be back tomorrow."

Alex nodded, and quietly stuffed her with a small bottle, Minna recognized that it contained the fountain of life, and looked at him wide, but he smiled: "Take it, maybe you will use it at any time" After saying goodbye politely to Ann Long and Dora, he braved the wind and snow and ran to the horses not far away

An Long hurriedly pulled his daughter who was waving: "Minna, he is from Mandheling's family!" ”

"I know," Minna folded, "but he doesn't hate Grandpa, let alone us, I'll save people and kill monsters with him in Noga, he is our trusted partner," she stuffed the vial into the ring, feeling that this friend was really thoughtful

An Long let go of her arm in disbelief and didn't ask any more questions, that young man can really be trusted, otherwise...

Dora pulled her cloak tightly and shouted, "Let's find a place to hide from the snow!" If I continue to stand like this, I'm going to freeze into ice! ”

An Long hurriedly said: "Come with me to the house where we used to live, but it was bought by Captain Knight, and he said that he could borrow me to live for a few days."

"What about him and his family?"

"His wife went to the south with the child, he lived alone in the knight's quarters, I asked, it was okay, it was only two or three nights"

Dora didn't ask any more, just pulled her daughter and followed An Long all the way to the barracks, and when he explained his work, they returned to their once familiar home

Minna was the first to rush into the house, looking at the furniture and furnishings around her, she was a little disappointed: "It's changed a lot, it doesn't look like our house anymore"

"It wasn't meant to be" An Long said with a smile, turned around and took off the big cloak for Dora, and handed it to the maid Dora looked critically at the girl's dirty shoes and socks and apron, and was a little disapproving, An Long saw her thoughts, and glanced at her funny: "My lady, this is already someone else's home"

"I know," Dora pursed her lips, "sooner or later we will have a home that truly belongs to us, and not just a place to live temporarily!" ”

Whether it's the magical capital of Ito or the Northern Fortress, the place where they live doesn't really belong to their family, and when all the mess is over, she must choose a house that will be decorated comfortably and beautifully according to her ideas

"Daddy! Mom! Minna had already walked around the kitchen, "There's veal in the kitchen!" Is it good to eat steaks at night? I can also make a soup with corn! ”

"Oh? That's really good" An Long helped his wife up, but Dora said: "Don't make a mess, go take a bath!" I'll take care of the cooking! ”

Minna stuck out her tongue and rushed straight to the bathroom

The dinner was very rich, Dora asked her daughter to take out all the meat in the storage ring for her to choose from, and finally made a big dish, Anlong and Minna were full, and the family of three got together to chat, and did not return to the room until late at night to sleep

Early the next morning, An Long and Minna were ready to go, Dora straightened her husband's clothes and hair, and then turned back to touch her daughter's little face: "It doesn't matter if you dress like this?" It looks like a boy."

Minna shrunk her head: "Doesn't that look like Minter?" I only have one bottle of Morph Leaf left, but I forgot to make a lasting potion so... I'm going to drink it again when I need to transform, can I deceive people now? ”

An Long looked up and down: "It should... Is that okay? Just be shorter, cover your face with a cloak" Dora brought her cloak and put it on her: "I'm warm, don't take it off!" ”

Minna stopped, looked into her mother's eyes, paused, and let her put on the crimson cloak for herself, biting her lip: "Mom, you have to take care too"

"Got it," Dora tied her belt and put on her hat, "Okay, let's go, the sun is getting high" She turned to clean up the dishes on the table, and looked at the change in the weather outside the window

An Long and Minna glanced at each other, walked up to hug her one after another, and then said goodbye

When their figures disappeared outside the door, Dora suddenly covered her face and choked up

An Long and Minna rushed all the way with the horse convoy, and finally arrived at the place where Xike had already received the news, and the security agency personnel and military generals greeted them, the latter shouted at his subordinates to receive arrows, An Long said a few words to his daughter, and walked over to do the handover, and he saw not far ahead, his brother Elon was riding on a horse, and looked at himself coldly, he took off his hat and wanted to say hello, but the other party turned his head and left, he paused, and went straight to the officer

Minna saw that Feith, who came to greet her, was about to call the other party's name loudly, but suddenly remembered that she was now a real woman disguised as a man, hurriedly retracted her hand, rode over, and said vaguely: "It's been a long time, how do you know that I came today?" ”

"I've seen your team from afar" Faith didn't suspect it, "Innocent Leng Ai has worked hard all the way, I've heard Alec say it, you all did a good job this time"

"What about Alex?"

"We've already gone to Van A, only a few monks stayed to help, but the magicians of Shaonan have arrived, and our plan will definitely succeed!"

Minna listened and walked with him into the town, but found that on the ground in the center of the town, there was a huge white se pattern drawn, which looked a little like a magic array, but the lines were very complicated: "This... What is it? Minna asked

"It is said that it is a magic array left by the God of Light, one each of Sicovo Anke and Monri, and even the one of the Central Holy See, which forms a huge magic array, with it, those demonic beasts can't escape."

Minna watched several monks holding a small bottle containing the fountain of life in one hand, and drawing on the lines of the magic array with a special emerald green branch dipped in the spring water in the other, vaguely guessing their intentions, she was secretly glad in her heart, if it wasn't for Alex's cleverness and taking more spring water, how could a bowl of spring water be enough?

She turned her head and saw Mallory standing not far in front, and hurriedly ran over, as soon as Mallory saw her, she recognized her current state, and hurriedly called her back to the office with her: "Why don't you become Minte?" We need Mintel."

Minna explained the reason again, and then he sighed: "Forget it, now that you have your father and uncle, you don't need to come forward for the time being"

Minna folded and asked, "Is my cousin here?" ”

"I let him go to Vought, where he is needed more"

Minna was a little confused, perhaps, because Bevin was familiar with Watertown? She asked again: "That magic array outside, can kill demonic beasts?" What should we do? ”

Mallori paused, and was silent for a while before saying, "The magic array can expel demonic creatures, but if you want to kill them completely, you must lure them into the magic array."

"Huh? Is that possible? Minna looked at the magic array outside, although it was very large, compared to the entire town, it was less than one-third of the area, and the magic beasts outside were not just distributed in one place

"Then it's up to that" Shopping pointed to the cabinet in the corner of the room, Minna walked over and opened it, there was a black box one foot square, I don't know what it was made of, not like wood, not like metal, there was a lock made of fine iron hanging on it, she suddenly had an impulse, wanted to knock the lock open, to see what was inside, just stretched out her hand, and from behind her came Melori shouted: "Don't touch it!" ”

Dazzling, she had been vigorously pulled away by Mallory, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered her past experience, and her face changed: "Could this be..."
