Chapter 13 The Return Journey
Once at the bottom of the cliff, Flandy secured Lilia to himself with a rope tied around the waists of the two of them, and then tried the rope that hung down when he came, and felt that there was no problem. So I struggled to climb up the rope.
Back to the griffin's lair, Frandie put Lilia down, and the two rested here for a while, although the half-day journey was not long, but it was a little thrilling, no matter how strong Flandi's body was, but after all, he was still a nine-year-old child, and he climbed the cliff and dived into the deep sea, which made his body feel very tired.
The depths of the griffin's lair were cool and dry, with a thick layer of dry grass and huge feathers mixed on the ground. The two of them leaned on a huge eggshell, half-lying down to recover their strength, and they were very comfortable.
Lilia is much better now than she was when she first woke up from a cave fainting. Perhaps it was because of this adventure that she let go of some of the burdens in her heart, and the beautiful little face that was always preoccupied in the past seemed to see hope.
"Flandie, don't tell anyone about today when you get back, okay?" Lilia stared at Flandi with two large navy blue eyes, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't even Archmagister Algernon tell me?" said Brandy. Because Algernon is Lilia's relative. I don't know why even relatives have to hide it.
"Yes, don't tell the old man. Lilia said, but after a moment's thought, she added, "As long as he doesn't ask." Just don't tell him. ”
"Uh...... Well, to no one, I promise. Just a little secret between us. ”
Lilia smiled at Frandi, and her frowning eyebrows gradually loosened.
Thanks to the usual exercise and the nourishment of Warcraft meat, Frandi's strong body recovered quickly, and he was full of strength again after not taking a long rest.
"Lilia, we need to hurry, or we won't be able to return to the castle in the evening. Frandy stood up with Lilia in her arms. Walked a few steps.
"Still no, the legs have no strength, the feet are soft. Lilia was a little worried.
"Then I'll carry you behind your back. ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work. ”
The little girl put her arms around Flandy's neck and was carried by Flandy on her back.
Fortunately, when I came, the forks in the hole of the gopher were marked with fluorescent, so I didn't have to worry about taking the wrong path when I walked back. Flandy quickly followed the marker and found the entrance to the cave where he came.
However, this journey is not easy, and when I came, I was always looking for a way down. When I went back, I had to keep climbing, thanks to the gopher burrowing for its own convenience, and it didn't hit the kind of straight up and down hole. Otherwise, the road back will be even harder.
Finally out of the hole, it was already sunset. The red sunset covered half of the sky. The towering trees in the forest are reflected in orange and red. The small midges in the forest become active. Clusters of buzzing and swirling. I don't know what kind of bird quacks in the depths of the forest with a dumb voice. Something may have been alarmed.
The forest is Flandy's home turf, and he has been running and playing in the woods since he was a child. When you come at noon during the day, you also need to take care of Lilia's speed, and she can't go too fast.
But when you go back, you can run as much as you want with Lilia on your back. Many tangled vines in the forest, or not shallow streams, jumped directly past, greatly speeding up the return journey.
However, with Lilia on her back, Flandi didn't dare to grab the vine man and swing between the giant trees as usual. Otherwise, Flandy could have taken a straight route and "flew" directly through the forest.
It only took an hour or so for Flandy to carry Lilia out of the forest and to the edge of the castle. At this time, he could not carry Lilia on his back, because he could not be seen by the other inhabitants of the castle.
The sky has gradually darkened, the sun wheel has already dived into the horizon, and the moon wheel is about to rise in the east.
The sparkling light in the homes of the castle dwellers of Pusal Island is already shining through. Wisps of smoke rose from the direction of the island's restaurant.
Lilia got off Flandy's back and slowly tried to take a few steps, although she had not yet returned to her usual state, and her legs were still a little weak. But it's not far from the Magic Tower. Able to walk back slowly.
The clothes on both of them were already a little tattered, but Flandi was a little better, because he usually came back from playing in the forest. Lilia is different, she is the little princess of Psal, usually a quiet lady, but it is the first time she looks so embarrassed.
Compared to this harvest, Lilia no longer cares about her appearance. The little girl's mood never seemed so good. Through her heartfelt smile of joy, it seems that you can feel her happy and happy mood.
"Lilia, are you going back to the Magic Tower?"
"Yes, I'm going back to the Magic Tower, there's a lot going on!" Lilia replied happily.
"Then let's separate here, I'm going to the dining room for dinner." Oh, by the way, this one is back for you. As he spoke, Frandy handed Lilia the small backpack that had been hanging around her neck.
"No, Flandy, I'll give you these things. Thank you so much for your help today. With that, Lilia gently hugged Frandy.
Frandi was a little confused by Lilia's annoyance, and said shyly, "That's, that's good." So I can go to the sea and play. Goodbye Lilia!" said a cigarette and ran in the direction of the restaurant.
Lilia smiled, waved her hand, and said, "Goodbye, Flandy." ”
............
In the kitchen, a few chefs and guys are busy serving dinner, and dozens of islanders are chatting over a meal at several long tables that are clean and tidy.
A bloated woman had finished her dinner and was about to go home, and as she approached the door of the dining-room, Franky ran like a wild horse that had broken off. Almost hit the bloated woman.
The woman was startled, her bloated figure leaned to the side, and the door of the restaurant was slammed back and forth with a "bang". He yelled angrily: "Ouch! Which skin monkey ate the Phantom Fruit and almost hit the old lady!"
Skin-monkey Frandy was a little excited today, and almost didn't brake all the way to the restaurant, but fortunately, although the woman was bloated, she was quite agile and didn't get hit. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble.
When I looked up, I couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly, it turned out to be Aunt Evelyn. Aunt Evelyn is Uncle Lem's wife and takes care of some newborn monsters on the island. Since he has never had children, his temper is relatively irritable.
Flandi clearly remembers that this Aunt Evelyn is not easy to mess with, and once the little fat man Vito somehow provoked Aunt Evelyn. She reprimanded him for more than half an hour. In the end, Uncle Anger was called in to reprimand him. From that time on, Vito the little fat man had to take a detour when he saw her. I guess it was made miserable by Uncle Anger.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Evelyn, but I almost hit you. Flandy quickly admitted his mistake, he didn't want to be reprimanded by this aunt for more than half an hour.
Aunt Evelyn was not so angry when she saw that it was Flandie, who had always given the impression of the island's inhabitants as a good child who was diligent and studious. So he stopped his voice and said, "Oh, it's little Flandy, why are you in such a hurry?"
Flandy pointed to the dining room and said with some embarrassment, "I'm hungry...... ...... to eat."
Aunt Evelyn was amused, touched Frandy's head and smiled, "Ouch, why did the little monkey run so fast when he was starved?" Let's go eat!"
Flandy was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but Aunt Evelyn stopped him again.
"Little Flandy, I heard that His Excellency the Grand Magus is going to take you to Oskaia University in the Imperial Capital in some time?" asked Aunt Evelyn.
"Grandpa said in the morning class, let's go home and discuss with our parents. I haven't told Abba Mom yet. ”
"Your Abba Mama will definitely let you go, and our children in Pusal generally go to study unless they have a disability. When I go to the imperial capital, can you help me deliver a letter to my sister? I haven't seen my sister for more than ten years. ”
"That's fine, wrap it around me. ”
It's just a letter, and Flendie certainly has no reason to refuse.
"Then thank you little Frandy. Aunt Evelyn touched Frandy's delivery again, and went home satisfied.
