Yuffie slowly woke up from her body, turned her head, and saw Lynn getting up with her eyes rubbed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Concerned about the safety of the remaining three companions, Info quickly ran to the hut where Gid Sheen lived, despite their mental exhaustion.

Grace the griffon was the first to notice Lynn's return, and she gently raised her neck and chirped in delight. It had been wounded in the previous battle, and half of its snow-white wings had been dyed a dark red, but the naturally heroic magical creature was apparently unconcerned about the injury. Lynn patted it on the neck encouragingly, and it whispered in love.

The two then walked into the cottage and saw Annaville and Elena resting against the window. The two of them were stained with a lot of blood and dust, mixed with sweat, and looked extremely embarrassed. However, they all had a relaxed look on their faces, after all, the real crisis had passed.

The house was littered with signs of fighting. The furniture and furnishings have completely lost their original appearance, the interior and exterior walls have collapsed on one side, and it is now possible to walk directly through the hall to the street on the north side of the house. Yufie's gaze smeared through the wreckage and debris on the black giant, who was lying motionless in the corner, still holding the greatsword in his hand.

"We were fighting him, and all of a sudden, he just fell to the ground." Annaville waved her hand at the two of them and explained simply, "It looks like you've made it, and you've done a great job!" ”

"Leave it at that...... That's it, right? Yuffie replied softly - she was still thinking about the 'Edda', "I'll tell you about it later." Now, let's get some rest. ”

"I agree." Elena replied weakly, "I think one tiring experience is enough—"

There was a groan behind him, and Fael finally came to his senses, clutching his abdomen, looking at the ruins in disbelief.

"By the way, and you, Fael." The pink girl thought of something and laughed softly, "I'll talk about why you got beaten later." Go see Kratos, he should be awake too. ”

Fael stood up excitedly, and limped out of the house, as if he had been injured somewhere. Yuffie looked at his back and exhaled with a little satisfaction.

She had finally fulfilled her promise, and as for the aftermath, and the 'accidents' that had happened at the end of the battle, she had left it all for tomorrow to have a headache.

……

There are not many follow-up treatments that require their involvement.

Early the next morning, they went to the Sheriff's Office with Annaville and gave a rough account of what had happened. At Yuffie's request, both her and Lynn are recorded under pseudonyms. After all, it involved Edda, the Imperial Family, and Cullen Dahl - she didn't know if she could hide it, but it was better than being too public.

The residents who had taken the potion had all woken up one after another, and according to the sheriff, they were in good health and sanity, with no adverse consequences. Of course, after this incident, the reputation of "God Edda" can be said to be infamous in Winterfell. The former believers scolded Fael and Kratos, and were angry that they had mistrusted others.

This is not quite what Yuffie had hoped - while Kratos was wrong, if the atmosphere was allowed to creep in, the angry populace would have smashed the apothecary's home. She asked the sheriff to issue a proclamation confirming that Gid Sheen was the real mastermind, and that Kratos and Fael would be punished as they were, even if they were also victims.

The content of the announcement was indeed true, and she did not particularly care about the specific effect - everyone's power is always limited.

After taking care of all the affairs, the three of them said goodbye to Annaville, returned to "The Song of the Nightingale" for breakfast, and spent half the morning leisurely. At noon, Kratos took the initiative to visit the hotel where they were staying and visited Yuffie and his party. Predictably, Fael was also by his side.

"If it weren't for your efforts, I would have committed an unpardonable sin." Kratos bowed deeply to the three of them, bowed his head and said, "Thank you...... Also, I'm very sorry. ”

"And what are you going to do next?" Elena asked.

"I'll tell the Guild and the Sheriff's Office of everything I've done, and then accept the punishment I deserve." The man, who was still a little emaciated, replied, "Let me use this body that should have died to pay for my mistakes as best I can." ”

"You're a good potions master, and mom will arrange the right things for you to do. Of course, punishment is inevitable. Lin told him with a smile, "Remember to go back and see your family, they have been waiting for you." ”

Kratos was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"You've got back the lost time, so keep going of your path." Yuffie said, handing the other two pamphlets - one of them was the diary in the workshop, and the other was thinner, "This is a note on the magic of protection, I think it should be of some help to you." ”

Kratos solemnly took them, bowed down again, and thanked him wordlessly.

"And what about you, Fael." Yuffie looked at the current guild receptionist sitting on the side with a slightly complicated expression, "What are your plans?" ”

"My words...... I want to learn how to make potions from Kratos. The man quickly replied, "Of course, not those harmful medicines, but drugs that can really cure diseases." ”

"In that regard, I would recommend that you go to church and study." Elena said casually, "Of course, the final decision is up to you. ”

"And ......," the guild's receptionist hesitated for a moment, "in...... During Kratos's punishment, I will do my best to help take care of his family and make sure they are not harmed, if needed...... or encounter difficulties. ”

Lynn blinked and gave her a thumbs up. Kratos looked at Fael earnestly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, wondering if he thought of his family.

"If you need it, I'll leave it to you." He whispered.

Fael nodded, thanking Elena and the rest. Then he and Kratos stood up and politely took their leave.

"Ah, then—" The three of them chatted for a moment over tea, and Lynn suddenly remembered something, "Until the end, we still couldn't get the recipe for the potion." ”

"I'm afraid everything has become an unsolvable mystery with Gid's death." Yuffie nodded, "But it doesn't matter, at least the inhabitants of Winterfell and the knights have a good ending, isn't it." ”

Lin nodded, and remembered another question, "By the way, what about the person who called himself Eda in the spirit network yesterday, did he look for you later?" ”

Yuffie closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and shook her head slightly.

"Maybe he's Edda, maybe it's something else." She picked the right words, as if to say to herself, "It's hard for me to understand the mind of an 'oracle', but I'm sure he won't say it." ”

"So what?"

"He said he would explain everything to me when we met again." Yuffie took a slow breath, "That means he still has plans to meet with me—or rather a certainty." ”

"In other words, we can only wait." Lynn half-jokingly complained, "Really, except for Uncle Leonos, the other oracles feel like a bunch of strange guys." ”

"Well, it's boring to keep talking about this." Perhaps finding it disrespectful to talk about the oracle, Elena changed the subject, "What are we going to do next?" Go back to Captain Saran? ”

Yuffie and Lynn glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

"I'll talk about that later." Lin said happily, "As for today, let go of all other things and let me take you around the city!" ”
