"Jingle bells, jingle bells", the low and hoarse bells echo all the way along the main road between the cities, accompanied by the ringing of the bells, and the roar of the magic car. At the beginning of November, it was already the early winter season for the neutral land, and the trees on both sides of the main road had become bare, with only a few dead yellow leaves left, still nostalgic for the days with the branches, hanging and swaying on the branches in the cold wind. In the evening sunset, the afterglow shines from the sky, but the cold sunlight cannot bring a trace of warmth to the dead leaves that are about to pass away, as if it is just to offer them a final farewell.

From a distance along the main road, a small passenger carriage approached from a distance, and the sound of neck bells kept coming from the necks of two old horses. The bells that made the sound seemed to be very worn, so worn out that the bells had gone badly, but they were still contributing their last life, just like these two old horses.

Driving the car at Mite's position was a black-haired female knight, dressed in silver scale armor, with a helmet and sword and shield beside her, allowing her black hair to fly in the cold wind of early winter. In the carriage of the carriage, the silver-haired priestess sat leaning against the wall of the carriage and sat on the seat, holding a thick book in her hand, and let the carriage jolt and shake, but could not affect her enthusiasm for reading. Opposite the priestess, the blonde girl seemed to have inherited her mother's habits, holding an equally white comb in her hand, slowly combing her long golden hair. The blonde girl looks no different from a normal person, the only difference is probably her expressionless but unusually beautiful face. Yes, the blonde girl has no expression, after returning to the Yala world and Eva transferred back to her main body, several girls in the adventure group found out that the little girl does not make any expressions at all, or rather, maybe she has spent too many years in the control center of the research center, and the little girl has almost no emotional behavior, just like she is still a mechanical control center, and the action language completely relies on logical judgment and maintains absolute rationality. However, the other four girls are not worried, maybe as time passes, Eva will slowly adapt to human life and learn to think in a way that is a combination of emotion and reason.

The blue-haired mage girl lay beside Lina on her lap, falling into a deep sleep with the jolts of the carriage, her green ruffled cap slipping from her seat and falling to the clean floor of the carriage. Even if the mage girl fell asleep, she still held a notebook tightly in her arms, and a large number of formulas and data were recorded in the notebook, and if anyone in the know saw this, you would find that as a large number of extremely complex formulas were unraveled one by one, as a large amount of data was filled into the three data models, it seemed that the three data models were gradually becoming clearer. As soon as the data model is finalized, it means that a study is about to enter the final stage of operation, and if nothing else, the final step of the actual operation is completed, and the study can be officially completed. However, the blue-haired girl didn't care about her research at this time, and she was smiling happily in her dreams, as if she was a different person compared to the preoccupied appearance of a few months ago.

Next to the carriage, the round Freya was driving the magic car and the carriage side by side, I don't know whether it was to obey the oracle, or because of the hard work of the return journey for more than a month, the oval Freya seemed to have lost some weight, in Catherine's words, she could already see the tiptoes when she bent over. Although Freya expressed great displeasure with this description, the rest of the girls seemed to think it was very vivid.

Since leaving the Goblin Research Center, the five girls still went back to Chongshan City, took out one of the magic motive cars stored in Chongshan City, and rented another carriage. However, the girls did not go home directly, but relied on their memories to make a detour to Fillias Mountain, where Catherine and Freya returned to the research center with the goblin disc, and moved the heavy survival pod out again, hid it in a carriage, and prepared to transport it back to the museum. Although no one said the purpose of this, everyone actually knew very well in their hearts that this was the last line of insurance, and once the worst happened, relying on this life support cabin, Vivian could hold on for a while longer.

The way home was not as eager as when he came, after all, according to Denya's prompt before, if you really want to go to the Warcraft Forest to find the dragon's guidance, it is safer to wait for Pennis to come back and go together, so everyone is not fast, when they go, it took more than 20 days to go, and it took nearly 40 days to return before they finally saw the walls of the City of Knowledge.

"I'm finally home. Unlike the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the carriage, the two poor girls who had to drive could only kill time by chatting, Freya's whole body weight pressed on the magic car, and said wistfully: "I think my change this time is very thorough, I believe that this time back in the Holy Capital, even Uncle Erlan will not be able to recognize me again." ”

Freya was right, and this time she was completely transformed. The forty-day journey had tanned Freya's whole body, and even those who knew her well had to have a lot of courage to associate the person in front of her, whose skin was blackened and covered by thick dust, with the princess who had once made the whole holy capital a goddess.

"Change isn't enough. Catherine had a smile in her eyes, squinted at Freya, and said leisurely, "Oracle, oracle, don't forget the oracle." ”

"Eldest sister, if you mention this matter again, I will fight with you. Freya said, "I don't want to hear the word oracle anymore, oh my God, why is Lord Denya such a person." ”

In myths and legends, the mother of all things, the loving Lady Denia is a gentle and kind, mother-like goddess, but when you see Lady Denia with your own eyes, you know that those myths and legends seem to be incorrect, at least not completely. At some point, Dania-sama was indeed gentle and kind, but more often than not, she was more of a ploppy mortal maiden, angry, sad, happy, and even mischievous. And in terms of her powers, even a well-intentioned prank can still put a lot of pressure on mortals, just as pitiful as Freya is now.

"What are you going to do when you get back?" Catherine said, changing the subject, "Do you have any plans?"

"First of all, I will report to the teacher what I have learned from this trip. Freya said: "I'm in a dilemma now, should I tell the teacher about Aiwa, and if I tell him, will it cause trouble to Aiwa?"

"No, it won't. Eva's voice suddenly interjected into the conversation, and when the two girls turned around, they found that Eva had climbed out of the carriage without knowing when, and was sitting cross-legged on the top of the carriage blowing the wind: "I remember hearing you mention your teacher, Freya, I remember that your teacher is also a goblin." ”

"Well, it's just a goblin from the Quaternary. Freya replied: "The divine punishment at the end of the Second Age did not completely exterminate the goblins, and a very small number survived, but the number of surviving goblins was too small to rebuild civilization, so the gods spared the remaining survivors." ”

"Then it should be fine. Eva nodded, "Even if they know my true identity, the goblins will hide it for me, after all, they also have their own pride, and they don't want their clan's research success to be in front of the world." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell Master when I go back. Freya nodded, and then asked, "How did you get out of the carriage?"

"I want to see what the world looks like. Eva replied, "I also want to see the difference between the city here and the ones I have passed before." You don't have to worry about me, just treat me as if I don't exist. ”

"Then you see, the Holy Capital is very different from the previous human cities. Freya shrugged and said to Catherine, "What about you, eldest sister, what are you going to do when you get home?"

"I'm probably going to apologize to my neighbors first. Catherine smiled bitterly and said, "There are two little undead in the family, and two maid sisters who are not used to living in the crowd, even if they are taken care of by Rachel, but they also have their own shops, it is impossible to keep an eye on them all the time, and I don't know what kind of chaos they will make." ”

"Huh. Freya couldn't help laughing, shook her head and sighed, "It's really hard for you to take care of so many headache children." ”

"Actually, they're fine. Catherine said with a headache: "Fortunately, Pannis did not come back with him, otherwise in a few days, the list of apologists would have been extended several times, alas, it would be a headache to think about." However, the neighbors protested and protested, but they didn't hate Pannis, but they got along well, which is also his ability, and it deserves to be the most ...... Not. ”

"Huh?" Freya's expression moved, and she looked at Catherine strangely and asked, "Sister, did you guess something?"

"What did I guess? I didn't guess anything. Catherine winked at Freya: "Think of the people he knows, think about the attitude of some people towards him, the only doubt is explained by his ability to never die, if this doesn't come to mind, then it would be more appropriate for us to become three fools together." ”

"Looks like you guessed it. Freya smiled wryly, "No, it's you." ”

"No, no, no, I didn't guess anything. Catherine smiled mysteriously: "The rule in our family is not to ask about the past, so if he wants to say, everyone will listen, if he doesn't want to say, everyone will not know anything." All we know is that he's the Pennis who helped us save us many times and has been standing behind us, but does it matter who he is and what he's done?" )
