Although Sofina has to admit that this is actually a specious assumption - considering that there are no large fauna on the island, mainly poisonous and carnivorous insects and plants, she can hardly afford to give this madman a chance to destroy their groves. When told that she was not allowed to do whatever she wanted, the battle mage launched a duel against Sofina, insisting that Sofina must give her free reign and let her escape the island as she wished.

It was in this context that Gwen and Elvia found Yue, ragged, charred and bleeding everywhere, wrestling with a rough root elemental in the underground arena.

The summoned creature is an interactive dummy that stops attacking whenever Yue becomes an oh, and resumes attacking once Yue recovers. For seven days and seven nights, they had already set up a phalanx, and Yue drew as much mana as he could from his meditative sleep, Sofina's nourishing mead, and the mana crystals hidden in her small storage ring.

Unbeknownst to Yue, the root element was actually part of the Bayan Heart Tree and was therefore immortal within the confines of the grotto. Sofina gets tired of her bickering and asks Yuelai to vent the anger she has built up over her betrayal of Deborah, trading her precious mana for peace and serenity.

When Yue saw Gwen appear at the arena-like cave doorway, she hissed a spell and rushed towards them at full speed, still full of energy after a week of continuous fighting. However, her eyes exposed her fragile nerves, as they were two panda rings, fleshy and swollen.

"Gwen, you're alright, you're alright, you're safe!" Xiao Yue screamed as she walked through the arena, squeezing all the excess meat. First, she plunged headlong into Gwen's arms, feeling the warmth of the leather coat seep through, and then the three of them huddled together and hugged for a long time.

"I know this may not be the time to ......" Yue pulled herself out of Gwen's embrace, finding that her reception was a little too tight and uncomfortable. "Where—

"Deborah is dead," Gwen immediately announced, reading one of her friend's hearts.

"Dead?

"It was slowly digested by the Caliban. She was... was wiped out. ”

Xiao Yue waved her fist and said, "Fuck, yes! I wish I could see it." What about Elizabeth, the Void Mage, the Merfolk?"

"This is ... It's a long story. ”

Next to her, Elvia's eyes were as big as blooming blue bells.

"Caliban ate... Ate her?" said Avia, giggling. Gwen devoured a man familiarly?!Was that so, or had Gwen become a cannibal? She had Caliban in her hand! Obsidian Ophitians sat on her lap! How could Elvia handle it now? What if she rubbed its belly and it hiccuped a hand? What if Kaliban pooped and there was a femur in it?

"It's a little more complicated than that. Gwen continued to explain to a deranged Elvia. "There's a frustrating story to tell, but we still have a lot of time on the way back. Now, let's get out of here. ”

"What, can we 'leave' now?" Yue Chao turned to Sofina, with a grim expression on his face.

"Gwen has a ship, and a whole bunch of high-level mages. Sofina replied with her own resting bitch face. "Get out of my groin now!"

Xiao Yue turned around and waved at the elemental she had been arguing with for a week.

"Goodbye, Woody!"

To their surprise, the elemental waved back.

Sofina said, "Yu — I mean the root elemental — was originally made by Henry to be your boxing partner, Gwen. ”。 "I'm not upset that at least someone took advantage of it, though. ”

At the mention of her master, Gwen fell silent. The jubilation of that moment was murdered, left to death.

The four of them made their way around the Heart Tree back to the upper level of Grot, which is now the sacrosanct place of Gwen, Sofina, and Henry Kilroy's students. Elvia muttered that she disapproved of Yue's stupid impulses and healed her wounded flesh.

Then, without warning. They went out.

For the past seven days, Elvia has become accustomed to living underground. When they reappeared in the sunlight, she held Gwen's hand tightly, clenching nervously, for fear that something was waiting for them in the woods. At the same time, Yue Yue jumped onto the soft moss that grew outside Grote's gate and knelt triumphantly.

"Yes, damn the natural light!Lucky open-air!We're finally out!"

At the same time, Rittal seemed stunned by the unexpected relief. He imagined that they would live in the jungle, eating rotten berries and drinking diluted mead until the end of time. There is no life on the Hun Festival! There is no root beer! There is no cider! Never to see his homeland again!

He took a deep breath and let the fresh scent of the forest fill his lungs. He feels deeply homesick and just wants to return to Auckland Tower after their wayward adventures are over. He was supposed to be loaned as a confessor, gaining experience by playing a dozen games. Now, he's been scared by four girls for three months, won a game, then gets involved in a conspiracy to destroy the city, and then gets stranded on a tropical island full of centuries-old antiques made of wood. Even soothsayers could not have imagined such a ridiculous detour in the future.

Gwen smiled as he watched Yue and Weitu do breathing exercises, and praised their high abilities loudly. She turned to Sofina, who also looked at the girls with a complicated expression. Gwen turned to her astral body, feeling the energy of Armuji in the depths of her hostility. She is willing to condense her soul from a mysterious sphere.

"I still have some of your beloved life force," Gwen gave the prize to Sofina. "Thank you for taking care of my friend. ”

Sofina stared at the fiery energy, and the pink tongue sticking out between her pink lips hinted at her desire.

"No," Sofina refused. "I think you'll need it more than I do. ”

Gwen was surprised to be rejected. Magical creatures are not known for denying impulsive desires.

"Do you want to continue exploring the outside world?" Gwen used her toes as a metaphor for testing warm water. "I think Master will want it. ”

"I can't do it. Sofina's eyes moved from the girls to Gwen and faced her, two sparkling emeralds on the amber. "I can't sign with another mage anymore, not after Henry. ”

"Is it because of the compatibility of the elements?" Gwen asked. Having Sofina as an ally is certainly an incredible favor.

"That's a reason. Sofina held up a hand, and a small flower grew from the palm of her hand. She let it sprout and bloom, then put it in Gwen's hair, behind her ear. Gwen noticed that Sofina herself was wearing the same flower on her other ear. From a distance, they must have looked like siblings, one flesh and blood, the other an elaborate wooden replica.

"Gwen, Henry is dead, our contract is terminated, and I have lost a part of myself. I know, it's part of the mantra, but it's been a part of me for a long time. You should know that I still have memories that I have shared for almost thirty years ... But—

Sofina's attention turned to the distance in the middle.

"I can't feel it, Gwen. I want to cherish those memories, but they are someone else's now. Everything Henry gave me, emotions and feelings, was gone. I didn't pretend. ”

"Sofina......" Gwen tried to touch her hand, but Drade walked away.

"So I need to stay here, Gwen Song," Sofina declared to the open air almost like a manifesto. "I need to keep these memories alive in the human language that Henry taught me, and even write them down, so that I can never forget them. ”

Gwen ignored Sofina's earlier refusal and embraced her Dopange, feeling Sofina's stubborn body oppress herself.

"All right, Sofina. "I understand. Gwen felt that her haughty companion was reacting coldly, and had to remind herself that Sofina was no longer the whimsical fairy girl she knew. This Sofina is now the master of a grove, a high-ranking Drade, and she is the master and master of her island sanctuary.

"You can go check it out. Sofina watched Gwen retract her embrace, not particularly excited. Now that they had left Henry, she could feel the misty sentimentality in her head gone. "I think I want to see Gunther and Alesia. After all, I've watched them grow from crying children to adults. ”

"I'll let them know, we'll get together later," Gwen agreed. "So this is goodbye?"

"Yes. Sofina turned and pointed to her groin. "Someone else will clear the way for you. ”

Gwen watched as her replica figure returned to the dark grotto. The gate flickered for a moment, then vanished, revealing only the roots of a huge banyan tree.

She turned to speak to the others, who had been watching them.

Elvia looked weak, but she was happy, her blonde hair stuck to her face with the dampness of the jungle. An elf poked out of her hair and looked at Gwen with bright eyes.

Xiao Yue was sweaty, very lively, and not well dressed, but happy to go out. Her uniform was badly beaten, though, and Gwen should have given her some decent treatment while they could get some privacy.

Wetu looked like himself, but was thinner and more mellow than Gwen recalled. There was a look of hunger in his eyes, indicating that he couldn't wait to get out of the jungle and beyond.

Gwen smiled confidently and said, "Any anxiety can be relieved." ”。

The New Party found the Taj Mahal, Paul and Jonas just a short distance from the path leading to the clearing.

To Gwen's surprise, the men did not have casual sex with the fairies in the forest during the hours she was away.

Instead, the women of the woods fed them berries and mead, and they chatted with the doll-like women. On top of that, it's a strangely comical sight. Three servicemen, sitting stiffly, surrounded by a large flock of dandies, laughing like jingling bells and chirping birds, asking them questions about the outside world.

"Hey, guys, we're back!"

Jonas straightened up as if he had been caught red-handed and did something dirty, his face began to glow, his gray hands covering the orange-red of his reddened skin.

"Oh, thank goodness you're here!" Jonas moved away from the table, the red-haired pair still holding his arm. "In a little while, we'll be put on the pasture, we're not Gregorian monks, you know. ”

The other two also stood up, trying their best to get rid of the admirers.

"Yue!" Paul snapped a nice salute, and Xiao Yue skillfully returned the salute.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm glad you've all come to pick me up. ”

"Elvia. ”

"Hello everyone, I really appreciate your efforts to get us back. ”

"Don't mention it. ”

Gwen glanced at their surroundings.

"Where's Moyer?"

The men looked at each other. They can also look at the floor and whistle harmlessly.

"He and the giantess - old Dry...... Walked together. ”

Gwen had expected it, but it occurred to her father that he was somewhere now, being put in the stable.

No! she took the thought out of her head. Think of Elvia. Think of Elvia. Think of Elvia. She chanted the incantation.

Gwen walked towards Elvia.

"Oops! Avia screamed as Gwen took the Mind Cleanser in her arms and buried her face in her pale yellow hair.

"Gee, Kigi!" Something tried to hit Gwen with a leaf-like positive energy.

"What's that?" Gwen giggled, her curiosity getting the better of her.

Elvia looked shy.

"I'm infected with a ghost. She whispered so low that she could barely hear it, and her face was as red as beets.

"What's wrong with you!" Gwen clutched the mesh on her chest with her paws, preparing a potion to cure her illness. Hopefully, that's enough to wash away what Elvia picked up in the woods. "Oh my God, that's terrible! Eve, are you alright?"

Gwen triumphantly showed her the syringe. "Take a picture and everything will be fine. You're going to fight back!"

The group stared blankly at Gwen.

"She's mentally ill, Gwen. Yue pointed out loudly.

"Who's coming?" said Gwen frowned, she was going to beat that bastard to death! "Oh, the spirit of the contract! like the crimson Caracal of Alicia?"

"Yes!" Ivy quickly raised his hand in the affirmation to avoid further misunderstanding.

The group let out a burst of uneasy laughter. Gwen smiled awkwardly with them, then returned to the matter at hand.

"So, does anyone know where Moyer is?"

"Moyer, like your father?" Yue raised his brow of suspicion. "What is an old man like him doing here?"

"That's enough, trust me," Gwen replied, rolling her eyes upward. When Gwen was a teenager, she didn't like to roll her eyes very much. While she found the gesture irritating, she also found the gesture unusually appropriate and satisfying for Moyer.

"What's that plan?" Jonas pulled his arm from the redhead's wooden vise between the hills and valleys. "I'm sorry Miss. We really have to go. ”

"Stay!" said little Drade, who seemed to speak simply. "It feels good to play with us!"

"But the local fishermen think it's an idea that jeopardizes your immortal devotion. ”。 She forced herself to ignore the vulgar performances and pointed a finger at the entrance to the grove, where a path carved out by supernatural forces awaited the footsteps of the people.

"This is our way out. Let's hurry away before it grows luxuriantly. ”

"Agreed," the others replied.

The group checked their gear and politely asked the marmots not to disturb them. In particular, Ritu had to use a few Punamu obstacles to drive them away from their bodies. The sun is now reaching a low orbit, but if you're lucky, they may be halfway out of orbit at dusk and reach the beach first thing in the morning.

"Tell Moyer that we're going to that ship," Gwen ordered a Drade, who yawned and ignored her.

"Please tell our companions to go to the 'beach' with us. Jonas pleaded with the Dradeers, who muttered to him, agreeing to pass the message on to him.

Gwen ignored the snub and headed for the path.

Soon, they will be on the beach.

They retreated from the beach to Singapore.

Then, a cargo ship returned.
