"It's the work of my other two sisters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Renee pointed to the flower beds surrounding the wooden house, "Not only Sister Frey, but I like it too." ”

Unlike the starry sky, she does not refer to "Luo Zhen" as a mother. This may mean that she met Luo Zhen much earlier, before she became a puppet. Of course, Yuffie doesn't plan to ask the cause now, that would not be polite.

She watched as Renee walked through the gravel path in the flower bed, shaking a string of wind chimes hanging from the sign. With the crisp sound of jingling bells, the wooden door opened inward silently, as if someone was waiting for the return of the puppet girl.

"Please come here." Renee beckoned to Yuffie and the others, "Sister Frey is inside, then, I'll go back first." ”

She opened the curtain and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yuffie stepped forward and walked through the door in the same way. She felt a slight flower in front of her, and stood peacefully in a large and delicate foyer.

As she expected, the interior of this wooden house was dozens of times more spacious than the outside. After the foyer was the living room, and Renee was already seated at the long table by the fireplace, holding a thick book, looking at them from behind the spine. The interior of the room is furnished in the style of Innis and Kamal, with a warm pale yellow color throughout, and several delicate wooden chairs covered with fluffy cushions, which look very comfortable.

"Sister Frey is waiting for you in the study inside." She said to Yuffie and the others, "Just go over there." ”

Yuffie nodded, and walked with Lynn through the living room, walking right down the neat corridor to the study that Renee had spoken of. Anya seemed to hesitate for a moment before following with the stars.

Then, for the first time, Yuffie meets the legendary puppeteer, a woman known as "Luo Zhen".

She has a typical, slender and beautiful Erna face. From the outside, Yuffie couldn't tell the age of the other party - she seemed to have gone through a long time, but she still had a youthful temperament in her demeanor. She didn't get up, but casually raised her hand and beckoned Yuffie and the others to sit down on the soft chair next to her.

"Mother, I'm back." Man Tianxing stepped forward and saluted the other party, "I'm glad to see you again." ”

"You can come back at any time if you want." The woman replied gently, gently stroking the top of the other's head, "Besides, I already know about Noka Main. I happen to have a blank doll in my hand, and I'll help 'resurrect' him in a moment. ”

Man Tianxing nodded, then bowed, "Then I'll retire first, Mother." She glanced at Anya, "Come on, I hope you have a good chat." ”

The doll girl left. So in the study right now, there are only Yuffe, Lynn, Anya and the woman of Erna opposite.

"Ms. Luo Zhen." Yuffie gathered his thoughts and asked first, "Did you invite me here because of my mother?" ”

"It's a straightforward question." "I do know your mother, but that's not exactly why I invited you. Don't be inhibited, just call me Frei—that's what Alicia calls me. She smiled mysteriously, "And, in terms of age, I'm not necessarily older than you." ”

"You...... Know where we come from? Lynn raised an eyebrow, "You've seen us before......" She tilted her head and looked at Yuffie again, "No, have you seen her?" ”

The Erna woman smiled and shook her head, "I know you're here, and I know where you're coming from. However, it was the first time we had met. ”

"So...... Frey. Yuffie tapped her lips with her fingertips, "Do you know how we can 'get back' to the world that belongs to us?" ”

"This world also belongs to you, and perhaps in the eyes of those who record history, coming to this continent is the trajectory you must experience." Frey replied, "Alicia told me that when you find what you're looking for and confirm what you want to confirm, you can go back. ”

What are you looking for—Yuffie thought as she looked down. There are many things she wants to know, such as the magic that has been spread on the continent, the 'rune technology' of the Gerno people, the various cultures of the demon clan and the Inir people, the current situation of the El continent, and the reason why 'Ahsan' came here, etc. In the midst of this, simply studying the knowledge of magic that belonged to another continent after hundreds of years was enough to take her years or more.

That's interesting enough, of course, but it's clearly not something that has to be done. What Mother said, and what she really 'needed' to be confirmed here, was

While she was thinking, Anya slowly walked up to her, looked thoughtfully at the Erna woman, and bowed slightly.

"Lady Frey." The girl asked softly, "Can you help me meet with the Emperor of the Empire?" ”

"Not a bad idea." The Erna woman gave the girl a thumbs up, "It's because of the attack you saw the other day." However, even if you meet the emperor, what are you going to say to him? ”

"I don't know......" Anya hung her head, her fingers twisted in front of her, and then raised her head again, "But, it's better than doing nothing......"

"Don't overthink things." Frey shook her head and responded earnestly to the three of them's gazes, "This is only the last time you've seen, and there have been four similar attacks in this time. By the time the attackers were all killed, there had been more than 700 casualties among the Empire's populace - about thirty times their number. ”

Anya covered her mouth with her hands and gasped. Yuffie frowned slightly, she sensed that this matter did not seem like a simple racial antagonism. Perhaps the perpetrators of the attack wanted to use these events to achieve some hidden purpose under the surface.

"You say...... Those attackers are dead. Lin asked, "Didn't you even have a living mouth left?" ”

"That's right, it's not much like the one you saw. All of the attackers either committed suicide after being seriously injured, or somehow detonated the magic in their bodies, blowing themselves into pieces along with the crowd around them. The expression of the Erna woman was a little chilly, "Because of these few incidents, the entire empire has no good impression of the demon clan. The number of people who declared that they were going to start a war had increased considerably, and some of them were more impulsive, pointing the finger at the yokai who inhabited the empire - there had been several retaliatory attacks. ”

"Actually." "Several ministers have already petitioned for war, and all the people are waiting for is a response from His Majesty the Emperor," Frey concluded. ”
