"Is it someone from the Broken Quarters...... Anya muttered, her voice mixed with doubt and unease, "Or is there someone else disguised as a demon and created the illusion of an alliance attack in the Empire...... But what good will it do to do that......"

"There are a lot of reasons. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin tilted her head and counted them one by one with her fingers, "For example, in order to find an excuse for the offensive alliance, to arouse the hatred of humans and demons, or simply want to make some trouble-you see, like that pervert called Moment, can't you do anything." ”

Yuffie agreed with some of Lynn's views. She felt that the attacks were too coincidental to be the work of the League or the Broken Order, but she also didn't think that such a thing would be done in an instant - it required careful planning and arrangement, and that meant that the plotters were not planning for more than a momentary pleasure.

"Let me help you write a letter of introduction so you can meet the person you want to meet." Frey clapped her hands and said gently, "Of course, how to convince him afterwards is up to you." ”

"What kind of person is the Emperor of the Empire?" Lynn asked curiously, "Should we bring some presents...... Frey, do you know his preferences? ”

"He's a little serious-looking, but he's actually a nice guy. However, as an emperor, he must maintain his majesty above the court, and he will still be punished for being too offended. The Erna woman blinked and stood up, "As for the gifts, there is not much to make him look at - alright, let me first 'resurrect' the Gernor man that the stars have saved, and if you have any problems, go to Renee." ”

Yuffie had not been part of the discussion - she was thinking about something else. Seeing that 'Luo Zhen' was about to leave the study, the pink girl finally raised her head and asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Ms. Frey, you know where we come from. You've said before that we can ...... Or rather, it will definitely return to the original world. She said, "So...... Is what we're doing here really meaningful? And—" She inhaled softly, her voice as steady as possible, "Frey, can you tell me that in our 'future', the El Continent...... Did something happen? ”

This is something that you need to witness for yourselves. After all, I promised 'her' to keep it a secret for the time being. The Erna woman shook her head, "What are you worried about, Yuffie?" ”

"I saw a vision. In the not-too-distant future...... Perhaps it was a long time ago that this world, my hometown, was destroyed by a sudden disaster. Yuffie closed her eyes, and Pfister's gloomy look reappeared in her mind, "If we come here, it's a fact that is bound to happen; And we have left our own footprints in this world -- so whether it means that the 'future' of our world has also become 'history'. She bit her lip, trying not to imagine the worst, "Frey, do you think history can be changed?" ”

"If you're asking Renee, she'll probably have a good discussion with you using all the theories of time she's read." Frey looked into her eyes with a somewhat complicated expression, "However, in my opinion, what you have done here and whether you can leave anything behind is really not the key. ”

Yuffie looked at her, not understanding for a moment the meaning of the female words of Elna.

"Maybe this world is for the two of you?" Frey raised an eyebrow, "In order for you to understand what you can do, and what you can do, you need to try to change. ”

A world for them?

It's a bold and interesting conjecture. She wasn't arrogant to that extent, but from another perspective, it was a fact. Yuffe's eyes lit up, and she continued to confirm to the other party, "But, Frey, why do you think that?" ”

"Because—" the Erna woman smiled mysteriously, "we're meeting for the first time." ”

……

That afternoon, Yuffie asked Renee, who was reading in the living room, about her question just now. As Luo Zhen said, the puppet girl in the crimson dress discussed various theories and speculations about "time travel" with her for a long time. These different and even contradictory theories were not enough to completely solve her doubts, but at least they made her mood much calmer than before.

After all, it doesn't seem so easy to pick the worst of these possibilities.

As the sun set, Frey and the stars returned to the living room. Both of them looked slightly tired, but judging by the smiles on their faces, it was clear that there was good news.

Beside them there was also a girl with a pair of pigtails and a delicate and lovely face. She was about as tall as the stars, dressed in a plain, overall-like dress, constantly looking left and right, her eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

Then she saw Yuffie and Lynn, and immediately walked briskly, jumped onto the chair opposite them, and shifted her body to make herself sit more comfortably.

"I would say, even if it's a little bit unexpected...... It's okay to see you again! The girl spread her hands, and then suddenly leaned over to the table, "Well, my 'last resort' is still great, isn't it!" ”

"Are you...... NOKA? Lin stared at the girl across from her for about ten seconds, blinked, and asked a somewhat silly question, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That's what you see." The girl's tone was a little dissatisfied, but it sounded unexpectedly cute, "Luo Zhen said that she only has such a body, so let me make do with it." She slammed her arm vigorously, "I have to say, this body is quite strong, and there should be no problem doing some heavy work!" ”

"Okay, if you like it." Yuffie pursed the corners of her mouth to keep herself from laughing rudely, "Then again, now that you've got a new body, let's change your name by the way." She wrapped her fingers around a strand of hair, and in a moment she had an idea, "How about calling it Nanorka?" ”

"Whatever you want." The girl's interest is obviously not in these things, it seems that the change in her body has no effect on her personality, "Let me tell you, don't look at Luo Zhen as just a puppeteer, her understanding of rune technology is not much worse than those great craftsmen!" She rubbed her hands excitedly, "I asked her a lot of things, as long as I have these suggestions, I can be more than eighty percent sure of the improvement of the "aircraft"!" ”

"Speaking of which, Nanorka." Lin had already changed her name from good, "How about teaching us rune technology?" Don't you want to learn the secret arts, how about it in exchange? ”

'Na' Noka pondered for a moment and nodded vigorously, "Originally, rune technology should not be spread out at will, but ...... Based on my long-term observations, you're not bad guys, so it probably doesn't matter. …… So, where do you want to start? ”

As Yuffie listened to Lynn and Na' Noka's discussion, she turned her head to give Anya a a brief story of what they had experienced with the Gurno people. Renee closed the thick book and sat quietly in her chair, occasionally interjecting into the heated discussion, each of which hit the nail on the head.

Suddenly, Yuffie felt that her mood had improved.

No matter how much shadow and fog there is in front of us, the world is still moving forward - with everyone who is in it. As members of the human race, they may have some responsibilities, but so do others. She thought so, refocusing her attention on the topic that the group was discussing.

"Okay, that's the basics. And then there's the characteristics of the different circuits—"

……

In noisy discussions and studies, time always flies.

That night, they stayed in Luo Zhen's workshop. In addition to a spacious living room, a warm guest room, a few small laboratories, and a library with a large number of materials, there is even a huge studio that is nearly 100 feet square and full of all kinds of tools and equipment.

"That's where the dolls are made." Renee, who led them on a tour of the workshop, explained, "Sister Frey is very good at making large dolls, and she once made five or six people tall and still very agile battle figures. It's just that the current Sister Frey has long been focusing on creating artificial souls. ”

"Hearing you say that, I really want to see it...... I'm kind of thinking about Alphonse, Yuffie. Lynn sighed, "Are those battle shapes like you, capable of acting on their own?" ”

"No, actually, the big ones are manually controlled by Sister Frey through the thin threads that connect them." For some reason, Renee seems to know a lot about this, "They don't have a mind or a sense of autonomy, they're just weapons for battle. ”

"Now Frey has the ability to make a huge humanoid with a mind, right?" Yuffie asked suddenly.

"Theoretically yes. However, since coming here, Sister Frey has stopped making large dolls. Renee replied, "Alphonse was a real inspiration to her during the production of us. Therefore, it is probably not wrong to say that we are relatively special people. ”

Yuffie wanted to ask why Frey was here, and why she didn't make giant humanoids anymore, but Renee had stopped and pushed open the door to their quarters.

"It's getting late, Yufi." Renee whispered, looking unprepared to continue answering questions, "You're going to visit important people tomorrow, so get some rest." ”

She waved her hand to the crowd and quickly disappeared into the hallway.

It seems that this is still not the time to ask questions about the situation in the El Continent, Yuffie thought silently. Too many chores can affect her judgment, at least for now, their first priority is tomorrow's meeting and the problems that arise in front of them.
