"Do you want to go to Sadara? Take this. ”

Natsu gave each of the three little girls a bag of blue magic crystals that glowed softly.

Ruya looked at the blue crystals in the bag, took one and put it in her mouth, and was pinched out by Polly grabbing her mouth:

"Ruya, how many times have you been sued, you can't eat indiscriminately!"

She wiped the saliva-stained magic crystal back into her pocket, and then tightly tied the mouth of the bag carefully.

"Is that big sister named Edith good to you?"

Natsu hugged the little fox Lulu in her lap and asked her.

"She told us stories...... Lots of delicious food to feed us......"

Lulu sadly drooped her ears, hesitated for a while, and suddenly hugged Natsu:

"But sister, I want to stay by your side!"

"Rua also wants to ......"

Ruya clumsily climbed onto Natsu's shoulder from behind, rubbing her head against her face.

"Polly, you obviously don't want to leave, why don't you ask your sister to let her stay with us?"

Lulu shouted to Polly, who was clutching the hem of Natsu's clothes.

"We can't get in the way of my sister, she seems to have something important to do......"

Polly lowered her head and whispered.

"Xia, I've already contacted the caravan going to Sadara. %”

Edith walked in from the outside:

"After the end of the second phase, the magic can be used, the legacy technology has returned to normal, and the caravans stranded in the royal capital have begun to operate again. The credibility of the one I chose is very secure, and it will be foolproof that I will send some more people to follow me when the time comes. ”

"Is the magic energy communication also normal?"

Natsu pulled Edith outside.

"It's normal."

Edith was now accustomed to holding hands with her intimately, and replied:

"I've been in contact with the president a lot, and I've just sent her a message to tell her not to come out of the kingdom of divine grace anytime soon."

"Thank you, Edith."

Xia gave her a hug with relief.

Wendy's thing has always been a thorn in her heart. Although the problem is not yet solved, it has been successfully alleviated.

"It's just a gesture."

Edith stroked her back and said:

"You saved little Lily, in fact, I thank you...... However, magical communication requires a special magic tower to relay, and if you are going to leave now, you may not be able to talk directly. ”

The two talked in a low voice, and Natsu followed her into Glori's room. She was found still asleep.

Her consumption in that battle was so great that it seemed that she couldn't wake up with just one night's rest.

"I don't know why you left in such a hurry, but I'm sure you must have a reason to leave."

Edith sent Xia to the door, and the relationship between the two is much closer now than it was at the beginning, and there are fewer scruples in talking:

"The destruction of Auburn Cathedral, the assassination of the Holy Maiden several times, the high heads of the Order looked upon Agnes very strictly, and my several requests to see him were denied; It's a pity that the little princess Evelyn is not in the royal capital now, otherwise she would definitely be able to speak...... I'm sorry. Summer. ”

There was a deep apology on her face, for she knew that Her Royal Highness and Egnes were very good.

"No, it's not your ......."

Xia and the elemental mage talked softly for a long time like two close friends, and then reluctantly said goodbye.

"Okay?"

Walking out of Edith's courtyard, Sardonan, dressed in a gray robe, leaned against the wall and asked in a low voice.

His image is too eye-catching, and in order to make his actions more secretive, he has to change his outfit like this.

"Alright."

Xia exhaled and said:

"Good work. Actually, you don't have to make a special trip. ”

"It's nothing, there are a lot of powerful characters in the royal capital. It's a little safer that way. ”

Sadonan watched warily at everyone who passed by, even though it was still in Edith's house.

Detecting the enemy is his weakness, and although he doesn't need to care about it when he's alone, because there's almost nothing to hurt him, it's a matter of fighting to protect others.

"I can help you get rid of those Order's people."

He said to Xia Jianyì:

"Then Agnes will be able to come out, after all, she is a saint. In the absence of the person in charge, the others must follow her orders. ”

"Don't get her in trouble anymore."

Xia Qing said in a deep voice:

"Let's go."

The two of them left the Edith family's residence, and when they walked out into the street, Natsu couldn't help but look back at the high palace, where the girl with her legs was disabled.

"Master, the book ......"

The little Lori in black reminded her to arrive.

Natsu took out the dark magic book she had gotten from Agnes' room. Gently kissed it on it.

Tears flowed imperceptibly and dripped on the cover of the book.

The book should have been returned a long time ago, but it was delayed by the hidden mission, and it was still in her hands.

"Wait for me, little love."

She handed the spellbook to Stephanie, turned her head ruthlessly, and walked towards the great pipe:

"It won't be long before we meet again......"

……

"To the right!"

Urging the manticore lion beneath him, Natsu and it dodged a thunderous claw in the air.

"Now that you're down, stay down there!"

Sadonan's body ejected from the lizard, and with one hand he held down the scaly paw, slamming the griffon-like monster from the air to the ground.

"Peng!!"

The ground-walking lizard and the manticore shuddered at the same time.

Natsuya, who was sitting on the manticore, felt a shock to her body, and the body of the huge monster slid out screaming from the ground not far from her, crashing all the way into the rock pile, where she struggled a few times and then stopped moving.

"This guy isn't dead yet, take a dagger and hit it on the head."

Xia handed the dagger to the black-clothed little Lori and asked her to fly over to mend the knife.

The strength of this flying monster is quite strong, and the experience value should not be low, so it would be a pity to waste it.

"There are a lot of monsters in this area that I haven't seen before, and it's worthy of a black area."

She opened the system map. A full-screen dark marker appears on it.

Although the Star of Destruction has only been around for three weeks, the range of human activities has shrunk by half.

Among them, there is a small country that has been directly razed by the monster tide, and most of the villages and towns in each country have been reduced to ruins, and only a few have survived.

"It seems that the information is inaccurate."

Sadonan fell from the sky and rode up on a ground-walking lizard:

"There should be a few smaller cities near Salrado, but now we don't even meet a single caravan or pedestrian. Those places are either still besieged by monsters, or they have been completely destroyed. ”

"What's up ahead?"

The manticore's explosiveness and stamina are good, and it can still support it for a long time now, so there is no need to worry about it breaking down halfway.

In front of the two of them was a gray fog, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside.

"It's a hidden fog forest, and if you get around it, you need to walk for an extra three days, and you can see the snow-capped mountains in just one day if you walk through it."

Apparently he had never been here either, and after studying the map in his hand for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion.

"I remember the Hidden Mist Forest in the center of the continent. How did it appear at the foot of the snowy mountains? ”

The silver-haired girl who became geographically blind when she left the country asked.

"The forests in the middle of the continent are all connected, and they are actually part of the Hidden Fog Forest; It's just that people in the neighborhood like to call it the Thundering Jungle because of the strange thunder that often comes from this forest. ”

Sadonan looked at the fog in front of him, and as the distance got closer, the shadows of trees loomed inside, and those trees seemed to come to life, staring at everyone who approached with a cold gaze full of malice.

"It's not a good idea to go into the jungle when it's dark."

Sadonan stopped his progress at the edge of the forest and turned off the ground lizard under his crotch. Jumped from above:

"If we decide to cut corners, we'll set up camp here. Set off early tomorrow morning, so you should be able to get out of the thundering jungle before the sun sets. If we take a long detour, we will stay away from the fog and get to a safe place overnight to rest. ”

"It's an east wind, mixed with cold air blowing down from the snowy mountains, and there is a possibility of ice storms on the way, maybe there is no safe place."

Natsuya jumps off the manticore. Stretched out a single hand and summoned it:

"Obey my call and come out - the Black Spirit Knight!"

A cloaked shadow stepped out of the void and came to her side.

"Go and scout in the forest, the range is set at five kilometers, and if you don't find it, stay inside. I am always warned when there is a situation. ”

According to the black-clothed little Lori, the Forest of Hidden Mists is a very strange place, and the monsters inside will not run outside, but if you walk in, then you can also encounter powerful monsters on the edge of the forest.

"I've traveled through the Hidden Mist Forest before, but maybe I'm lucky enough not to run into any tough enemies."

As he spoke, Sadonan did his old job of building an arcane barrier fixed to the ground, only now that he had replaced the core with a dark red shard instead of the original blue shard.

This kind of barrier that can defend against mental attacks is one of the means to ensure the safety of the camp, and his ability is not afraid of mental fluctuations, but Xia will still be hit.

When the time comes, if this princess with ineffective superpowers gives him a few blows, even if he can't die, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

"Your arcane barrier range seems to have increased again."

Xia looked at the shield that faintly shone with light around him, this kind of light monster and ordinary people are invisible, only people with strong mental power and magicians can see it.

"I haven't given up on arcane cultivation, but I don't study elemental magic and dark magic anymore."

The tip of Sadonan's crutches glowed green, checked the coverage of the barrier, and sat down on the ground:

"It's too difficult to improve my newly acquired abilities, just cultivating it and arcane arts has already consumed all my energy, and people who are too greedy will never end well, this is what I have been taught since I was a child."

"I remember you also had a mother and a sister? Are they okay now? ”

Xia suddenly remembered that this poor mage was different from himself, and he still had relatives at home.

"Missing."

Sadonan buried a small fireball on the ground and let it slowly exert heat underneath, this simple fire magic he still can, and the hidden flame will not attract the snooping eyes of monsters:

"They disappeared when I returned to the royal capital...... I searched everywhere for clues, but I couldn't find them for a year. ”

"I'm sorry."

Natsu knew she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.

Neither of them spoke again, and sat quietly to rest.

After a while, Xia suddenly received a message from the Black Spirit Knight.

"I seem to have found something, I'll take a look."

She got up from the ground.

"I'll go with you."

Sadonan put away the arcane barrier, otherwise Natsu would have shattered as soon as he touched the edge of the barrier.

Stepping into the mist, and crossing a deep damp ditch, a rudimentary camp appeared in front of the two men.

"Smack-"

A cold wind blew through the forest, and the broken ice from the tents in the camp fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"There are a few goblins here."

Sadonan struck a frozen turquoise monster beside the extinguished bonfire with his cane, and made a bangbang sound:

"But it's dead."

"There are no traces of the battle, and no toxic residues have been found, so they should not have been killed."

Natsu checked around the camp and walked back lightly.

"They're freezing to death."

Sadonan looked at the stiff monsters and said:

"It's so close to the snow-capped mountains that the cold snaps on the outskirts of the forest are unpredictable, and sometimes they hit suddenly at night, and even the thick quilt can freeze into ice." (To be continued......) R1292
