When the cold wind from the poles blew in his face, Edward realized that he was very close to the city of Ulduar, and once upon a time he actually felt like he was about to return home. There is always a strange sense of security in the city of Ulduar compared to wandering outside, there is no fear of undead suddenly escaping, and no demons can enter the city, let alone ordinary humans, who are trying to cross the Misty Forest, which is supported by a natural barrier by a blizzard.

After arriving at the fortress of Belica, Prince Rost, who had been sent by King Rodland of Saxony to deal with the trade with the city of Ulduar, personally brought people to meet Edward and Gretel.

In addition to escorting Edward back to Ulduar, Gretel also went to the Belica Fortress to meet Prince Rost, and recently the royal family's trade with the Old Gods of the Arnold Mountains reached a most important point, tens of thousands of slaves from the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce were transported to the Kingdom of Saxony, ostensibly the Kingdom of Saxony purchased these slaves in order to increase the labor force, and at the same time, in order to avoid the negative impact of the slave trade on the two major religious organizations of the Holy Capital and the Holy See, the Kingdom of Saxony sent a note to both parties that they would liberate these slaves as free people。 For this reason, it is necessary to keep the news from being leaked during the transportation process, otherwise it will be a very big scandal for the Kingdom of Saxony, and it may also expose the cooperation with the ancient god Arin to bring great disasters to the country.

And the old king specially sent the court mage Gretel, who was his confidant, to the fortress of Belica to take charge of this matter with Prince Rost.

"Won't you take a break? Mr. Edward. It's getting late, so you can leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you for your kindness~ It's just that I'm in a hurry now, anyway, using the portal to reach the Yanod Mountains is a matter of moments. ”

In front of the huge portal, Gretel kept Edward and told him to rest for a while before leaving tomorrow, but Edward, who was worried about Al's health, insisted on leaving now, despite the fatigue of traveling.

Watch as the liaison officer uses the communication wizard to contact the Arnold Mountains, which are thousands of miles away, and ask the other party to activate the portal. Grett couldn't help but look at this great building with great admiration for the Belica Fortress and the Arnold Mountains, this kind of large-scale portal is simply the best tool for transporting people and goods, if this kind of large-scale portal can be built in all territories of the Saxon Kingdom, it is equivalent to the entire Saxony Kingdom is closely linked, in addition to the economic prosperity brought by the fast trade, the royal family's control over the country can also be further consolidated. It's just that until now, I didn't dare to dismantle the portal without permission and conduct detailed research. Outside observation alone could not decipher the workings of the circle on the portal, and the Kingdom of Saxony was unable to master this advanced technology.

This god has too many powerful powers and technologies in his hands, and any one of them can greatly increase the national power of the Kingdom of Saxony. If you want to get these technologies, it seems that you still have to increase your cooperation with the ancient gods, but the Saxon Kingdom can come up with too few chips to make the ancient gods tempting.

Ancient words began to appear on the stone pillars on both sides of the portal, and the points of light began to gradually increase and condense to form a light curtain, with the fragments of Al's blood seal, Edward finally turned to look at Glitter and the Belica Fortress behind him, waved goodbye, and Edward stepped into the portal.

What does it feel like to teleport?

It's not the first time I've used portals and teleportation circles, though. But Edward still felt that the moment he entered the portal, the feeling that his body seemed to have been broken down into countless particles was too familiar~ Yes! Just like in the basement of his home, the feeling of using the human body to refine the door to open the door of truth and be swallowed up in an instant is exactly the same.

What a nasty feeling!

It was under this annoying feeling that Edward crossed the distance of tens of thousands of miles in an instant, and when he fully regained consciousness, the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed, and there were many goods piled up in the huge and wide square, and two elven maids were already waiting in front of the portal. And the temperature of his hand also made Edward feel as if he had stepped from a cold winter into a comfortable spring!

"Welcome back Mr. Edward, please come with us~ His Majesty Yalin is waiting for you in the study. ”

"Finally back~"

Edward breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the familiar buildings and elves around him, took off his already redundant windbreaker and handed it to the elven maid on the side, and walked towards the study.

Because of the relationship that Yalin has been busy again recently, and sometimes people like Shunezel, Fili, and Tsukikai often come to visit him. Yalin simply added a small portal near the study to connect the entire city of Ulduar, which was convenient for visitors, but Edward didn't take a few steps before a small portal was directly delivered to Yalin's eyes. Even Xiao Douzi, who lived in the industrial period of the original steel refining world, has to admit that there are still many admirable technologies in the other world, such as this time-saving portal is one of them.

"Excuse me, Lord Arin!" Edward habitually used the title 'Your Excellency' after entering the room, but before he could meet Yalin, a dark shadow had suddenly appeared in front of Edward's eyes!

Hey!?

Edward was stunned and almost stunned to look at the flying thing~ a very familiar large movable wrench! Then a burst of pain accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness made Edward almost messy in the wind, this kind of unceremonious throwing of the wrench, unceremoniously aimed at his head when he returned~ There is only one person who can make such a heart-wrenching move.

"It hurts~ Wen Li!! why are you here!!"

Edward clutched his bleeding forehead and looked at the blonde girl in front of him with a hellish look. The girl who always exudes the familiar smell of engine oil in technician overalls is indeed her childhood sweetheart and full-time maintenance technician of mechanical armor - Wenli Rockbell!!

"Why did Sister Wenli come to this world too??" Alphonse muttered in Edward's arms.

Wen Li shook the blonde hair behind her back and strode in front of Edward, and said with a condescending smile: "You can come to this strange world, can't I come?"

"As soon as we met, you hit me again with a wrench! Didn't I tell you before! Don't do such a dangerous thing, what if I am stoned to death. ”

Wen Li stuck out her tongue and looked at Edward playfully: "Aren't you still alive, haven't you seen Edward-kun for a long time~"

Looking at Wen Li's smiling face, Edward's anger also dissipated in an instant, but Edward wanted to cry a little at the moment. It's really nice to see familiar relatives and people who care about you on weekdays: "It's been a long time since I saw you┉┉I miss you very much~ Wen Li." ”

After a long absence, the three children chatted, and Yalin on the side didn't mind being ignored, and it was quite interesting to watch the 'little couple' noisy. However, Arin really admired Edward's vitality, and was accurately hit in the head by a large movable wrench in the fastest acceleration state, and it was just a swollen lump after receiving such a ton of damage, and if it weren't for a concussion, I am afraid that he would have died on the spot. I don't know if Edward has already practiced the Iron Head Skill under Wen Li's 'training', or if Wen Li herself has mastered the advanced 'weapon throwing' skills.

However, the warmth between the two did not last long┉┉Because Wen Li began to ask an important question.

"Alright~ Edward, bring me the damaged mechanical armor. ”

Hmm~ Xiaodouzi's face froze as if it was cramping instantly, and Edward stammered under Wen Li's creepy smile: "That┉┉It's a little worn out in battle┉┉So please don't┉┉"

"I know, I know, Lord Yalin has already told me about the situation, but the damage I heard should be completely destroyed. ”

After Edward showed a 'you cheat me' expression to Yalin, Wen Li continued to smile and said: "Don't worry, I won't be angry, after all, you and Al are also working hard this time, and actually broke into the cultist's gathering house to save people, so I will forgive you for breaking the mechanical armor this time." ”

"Really!?" Edward looked at Wen Li with delight.

The girl nodded and urged: "Really~ I'll forgive you this time, hurry up and bring the broken mechanical armor to me to check, see the situation of your right hand and even the mechanical armor can't be equipped, it is estimated that the damage is very bad, and I don't know if it can be repaired." ”

Edward sat on the ground and scratched his head, and it took a long time before he said apologetically, "Actually, it was completely broken into pieces, so I didn't get it back." ”

"Nani?(what?)"

Wen Li stared at Xiaodouzi tightly from the corner of her eyes, under the gaze of this terrible gaze, Edward immediately confessed, the mechanical armor was rubbed by the demon's black lightning and began to quickly rust and disintegrate, after returning to the ground, the mechanical armor has completely become a pile of broken pieces of rusty iron, seeing that the mechanical armor has become this kind of garbage, Edward was not in the mood and didn't have time to collect the fragments of the mechanical armor and began to run away with Tia.

"That's why I didn't bring any parts back┉┉" Edward, who was already kneeling on the ground, spoke in a smaller and smaller voice, and even his own body seemed to be shrinking sharply.

"You big idiot!!That's the treasure I've worked so hard to make zuò!!"

Wen Li's roar rang out at the same time as the sound of the wrench breaking through the air, followed by Edward's screams echoing through the room!

"Wen Li~ You said that you are not angry┉┉Ahhhh......hhh
