Near the south gate of the Guild District of the City of Knowledge, there is a special area. Covering an area of about three kilometers, this area is a flat and open area, and the floor is carefully paved with white marble, and although you can see the gaps between each stone with your eyes, you will never feel the ups and downs if you are busy with your hands. The marble floor is surrounded by a high wall to form a semi-enclosed space, with only a special door blocking the way outside, which only opens when needed.

Outside the gate is another small square, and around the square is a circle of shops, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, and so on, for people passing through here. In the seemingly inconspicuous small square, dozens of people often gather together, waiting for the gate to open.

"Sisters, be careful on the road. In the square, the maid sisters and their four children waved goodbye to the members of the adventure party who were about to enter the floating port, and not far behind the six girls, the enthusiasm and indulgence each held a cup of black tea, sat at the open-air coffee table in the café, and raised their teacups to the girls who came to the last time. Farther away, seventeen or eighteen travelers stood in the square with backpacks on their backs, and the people who saw them off surrounded them in the middle, looking nervous, and repeatedly admonishing them.

"You stay in the city, don't run around, Pansy, you two remember the ban I gave you, in the future you must be accompanied by Nicole or Rachel when you go out to shop, Michelle and Ansha, you two remember your Sister Lina's instructions, and you, Xiaolu, I left Annie for you, don't cry and say that you are a child that no one wants. Catherine felt quite distressed, and every child around her made her feel uneasy.

Seven days ago, after the establishment of the entrusted relationship, Lana and Lamia agreed with everyone to meet in Lampfish City, and then hurried to Liberty City accompanied by Gully Elmer, they will return directly to the sea from the coast of Liberty City, and make some preparations for the future action, while the people of the adventure group will choose the fastest way to rush to Lampfish City after seven days, where they will wait for instructions for further action.

"Knock, knock, knock", the small square suddenly began to vibrate slightly rhythmically, the tables and chairs beside the square groaned in the vibration, and even the black tea cups placed on the tables continued to ripple, sometimes even splashing a few drops of liquid from the cups.

"Wow, Sister Freya has finally caught up. The lively Michelle was the first to turn around and wave her hands: "Here, sister, you are so slow, fortunately you have caught up, otherwise it is estimated that you will have to run." ”

In the distance, a hill-like girl with a huge backpack on her back hurried towards this side. Freya's outfit today is completely different from her usual style, no longer wearing the richly textured aristocratic clothes as usual, but completely changing to the style of a professional. She wears a leather armor like Lina, the leather armor is custom-made, which can be easily worn on her body, and the lower body is covered with a pair of thick coarse cloth trousers, which are very strong and can withstand the wear and tear caused by long-term activities, and the trousers are very loose and can adapt to climbing and various strenuous activities on various terrains. He was tied to his waist with a wide leather belt, which was also custom-made, and there were a large number of leather locks on the outside, and inside were all sorts of strange tools that even with Pannis's experience and Vivien's knowledge, he could not recognize. At her ankles and knees, a set of metal and leather machines were fixed, and although no one recognized the name of the device, one could guess the role of the device when she saw that Freya could easily cross more than twice the distance normally with each step she took, and that she could jump higher than usual with each step. Behind Freya, two long crystal energy guns were inserted crosswise in the pouch, although only the handle was exposed, but judging from the style of the handle, there had never been one on the market, and it was probably made by herself. Freya slammed into the ground like an armored bull.

"On the previous wedding road, when she met the armored cow, she should have been allowed to collide. The only person who can say such a thing about the former beautiful princess in front of her, who is the love of the whole city, is Vivian, who communicates with fireballs and energy bombs every day. Vivien picked the corners of her mouth and said sharply, "Have you noticed, this stupid guy seems to be fat again." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Catherine punched Vivian on the top of the head in disgust: "Her weight loss is still effective, I think that the weight loss is because of the problem of adventure equipment, and she is not allowed to poke other people's wounds casually." ”

"Mr. Pannis. Freya, who was running quickly, opened her arms from afar and called out affectionately: "According to the agreement, I am here, let's go together to create a beautiful love that can last for thousands of years, so that all lovers will be jealous and cry for the deep love between you and me." ”

"Bang. Vivien jumped up, and the staff struck Freya's head exactly when she stepped into the attack range, "You stupid, everyone is watching here, it's a shame for you to restrain me a little." ”

"Whew. Faced with a familiar physical attack, Freya held her head and glared at Vivien dissatisfied, but she still restrained herself according to Vivian's request, tidied up her clothes, her round face was full of joyful smiles, and said to Catherine and Lina: "Eldest sister, and Lina, from today onwards, Freya has officially returned to the team." ”

"Welcome home. Catherine stretched out her arms and symbolically hugged the girl in front of her. It can only be symbolic, because Catherine's arms can't wrap around Freya's body at all, and even if she stretches her arms hard, her hands can only be pressed on Freya's shoulders. Sensing this, Catherine pinched Freya's fleshy face with a smile: "You still have to continue to lose weight, hand over all the snacks you bring, and you are not allowed to eat casually in the future." ”

"Sister, you can't do this. Freya protested dissatisfiedly, but as a remote professional, her strength could not compete with Catherine, her struggle was quickly suppressed by Catherine, and she could only watch Aggrieved Lina take out bags of snacks from her big backpack, and soon filled the ground: "Don't, don't take them away, that's the sustenance of my soul, it's the most important concern in my life, losing them, I'm like losing my soul, at that time, even if the world is colorful, it will turn gray and white in my eyes." Without them, my life would have no meaning in the future......"

"Bang. Not surprisingly, the sturdy staff returned to Freya's head, and Freya watched as if she had lost her soul, and watched as she pale as Lina snatched all the snacks hidden in her backpack and handed them to the girls who had come to see her off.

"Take them home and eat them all. Lina deliberately told in a voice that Freya could hear: "I guess this is enough for you to eat until we come back, remember, don't let me see them." ”

"Demons, brutal demons, you have taken half of my life like this. Freya sighed sadly, "Without them, what is the meaning of my life?" ”

"The rest of your life is about losing weight. Lina dusted off her empty hands, walked back and patted Freya on the shoulder: "When you get back in shape, we'll have a snack with you then." ”

"I don't see the hope of that day. Freya muttered a few times, then suddenly perked up and said, "Fortunately, there is still love for Mr. Pannis as the other half of my life." Mr. Pannis, whenever I think of you, my chest is like a flame that will never be extinguished, and the scorching flame burns brightly, bringing me endless courage and hope, I ...... Hey, where's Mr. Pannis?"

"Heh, heh, heh. Lina laughed dryly: "I won't tell you, let's find it slowly." ”

"Don't do that, dear Lina. Freya took Lina's hand and said melancholy: "Aren't we best friends? Aren't we family? Since we are relatives, why do you hide it from me, why do you torture my expectant soul so cruelly? Look up, look at the sun in the sky, under such a bright sun, shouldn't we open our hearts, and there will be no more deception and estrangement between each other......?

"Bang. Vivien's staff poked at Freya's foot, "Give me a good talk." Besides, Pannis was scared away by you, you idiot. ”

The girls of the adventuring group gathered together, everyone was happy, and everyone was celebrating Freya's return in their own clumsy or covert ways, celebrating the return of the family after two years of absence.

"Toot, toot, toot. A loud whistle suddenly sounded in the center of the square, and a goblin in a strange uniform stood in the center of the square and blew the whistle. Then, the closed door made of special material slowly opened to the sides, revealing the flat field behind the door.

"Alright, it's time. Catherine stopped the girls from continuing to make noise, waved to the girls who saw them off, and turned her head towards the space inside the door. It wasn't until he crossed the gate that he turned back and said goodbye to the girls.

"They're all good kids, even the undead, you think so. Noticing that Freya was waving beside her, Catherine asked softly.

"Well, I never thought that the undead could be so obedient and so cute. Freya nodded solemnly and said, "No wonder my father doesn't mind the two of them living in the city." ”

"Thank you, Lord Odin. Catherine smiled and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, you're in a particularly good mood today." ”

"Of course, how can you be in a bad mood. Freya's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she replied briskly in a singing voice, "Like a princess, she always maintains a reserved image, although she has long been used to it, but she is really tired." Now, I can finally get rid of this shackle for a while and live according to my own ideas, how can I not be happy. ”

"Is that all?" said Catherine with a smirk, "I thought you were happy that you had finally begun to break free from the shadow of Lord Odin and start creating stories that belonged to Freya and not to Princess Santo, didn't you?"

"Huh. Holding a folding fan out of nowhere, Freya covered her mouth and chuckled, gracefully like a real princess: "Maybe, who knows." (To be continued.) )
