Through the Medici family's business network throughout Middle-earth, Rick soon learned the whereabouts of those people.

Just near the continent of Dolon, Edward, the king of the Thorn Empire on the continent of Huls, bought them and trained them to be killing machines.

By the time Rick arrived on the continent of Huls, the people had already been killed in a sudden war, and even Edward, the culprit who enslaved them, died in the coup d'Γ©tat.

After that, according to the intelligence, she followed the royal remnants of the Thorn Empire all the way to board the East, a magic ship belonging to the Medici family.

On the second day of boarding, she sat on the deck of the Easter, looking at Edward's widow from afar, and saw the panic on her seemingly calm face, which she had since childhood.

The girl watched quietly, and suddenly, she felt bored.

The information received when he boarded the ship was that the wicked man who had taken the people captive three years ago had died in shipwreck, and that the buyer, Edward, had now been killed. Everything seems to have retribution.

What's the point of following Edward's family like this? What does the whole thing have to do with them?

A mother's last wish can never be fulfilled.

Where are you going next? to meet the man who abandoned his mother and himself?

It was in this state of amazement that she noticed a strange person.

The man sat there quietly, he didn't drink or dance. The gaze lingers on each person, as if looking for something.

On that seemingly indifferent face. The girl sensed a glimmer of grief, just as she had lost her mother. Grief that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Three days later, the girl finally deliberately approached him and teased him, and she was not angry even if she was misunderstood, because only when she talked to him could she forget her mother's death for a while.

The man was very smart, and the girl's longing for her mother was shattered by him. But he was also vicious, saying, "Curiosity kills, and your mother may have a tragic fate." Also because of this. ”

At that moment, Reiko's heart was like a knife. But she forgave him anyway.

"He's going through the same pain. She felt so.

In such a day of laughter and scolding, Ruiko's mood miraculously slowly improved.

Yesterday, however, he suddenly became interested in Edward's widow, the so-called Countess of Pellinan.

Rick was certainly not jealous, and she could tell at a glance that he was tempting "the Countess and her nephew", or Edward's widow and her own son. relationship.

He seemed particularly concerned about where the "Countess" had several companions and where he was going.

Why did he look into this? There was a hatred between him and Edward?

Shall you tell him about the third person who travels with the "Countess"?

A huge ballroom. It was already empty, and in the middle of the dance floor, the figure of a half-elf girl. Seems so lonely.

***

Two days later, New Year's Eve.

Restaurant and ballroom on the third floor of the Easter. and on the deck, there were people standing.

Even the one who has been locking himself in the cabin. Donner's language teacher, Miss Novia, was also a rare sight to stand on the deck.

When the new year arrives, the bow of the ship lights up with magical fireworks, and colorful balls of light burst into the sky and burst into flames like flowers blooming in the night.

Captain Darkai stood close to the bow of the ship and sent New Year's greetings to the passengers.

Out of the corner of his eye, Donner observed the crowd around the countess from time to time. No one spoke to the Countess except Geoffrey. Who is that mysterious third person, and why didn't he even show up on Chinese New Year's Eve, is it because he is more conspicuous than Jeffrey.

Could it be Edward himself?

Donner suddenly thought of the possibility, but he couldn't confirm it.

After standing for a while, still unyielding, he turned and walked to the gangway, ready to go upstairs.

At the port of the gangway, Ruiko stood in front of the guardrail, looking in the direction of the stern, with a gloomy expression.

Donner looked at her thin back, sighed, and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you that day. ”

Ricko turned her head and smiled slightly, she knew what Donner meant, she had forgiven him.

"Will you stay with me?" she said.

Donner didn't answer, walked up to her, also leaned on the railing, and looked in the direction of the stern. The wind blows, and the black hair flutters in the wind.

At this time last year, I was sitting in the small building of the Academy of Magic, with Richard and Kelly by my side, are they in the Knight Federation now? I don't know how many years it will be before I see them again.

I smelled the half-elf girl again, and I smelled the same when I danced with her that day.

It's a taste somewhere between floral and woody.

"The people of Huls?" asked Ricke, who had boarded the ship from the port of Neum on the mainland of Huls, as did Donner.

"It's not. Donner panicked, he was now a Dorlon.

"Where?"

"Caios. ”

The girl turned her head slightly and glanced at Donner, she was also going to Caios, at least the ticket was bought there.

"You're so pretty, you don't have to do this. Donner said suddenly.

"You can't do this if you're ugly. Rick followed his words, she had no intention of explaining, anyway, when he arrived at Caios, they would part ways, and it would only be four months, and he could do whatever he wanted.

"Money is so important?"

"So what's important?" asked Rickle, turning her head and smiling.

"It's too hard a question," Downer replied, "money isn't that important anyway." ”

"You guy, you're too busy with your own affairs, and you still have time to worry about others. Reicor teased.

Donner smiled wryly, she was right, she did have a lot to do.

"Happy New Year. With that, he turned and walked up the gangway.

"Happy New Year. The girl replied softly, without looking back, still looking at the sea.

On this day, Donner turned eighteen.

***

The Countess and Jeffrey were also on their way to the port of Caios, that is, there were still more than four months to go.

Donner decided that, in addition to waiting for the third person to appear, he would spend the rest of his time focusing all his energy on improving his strength.

Every day, except for two hours at Miss Novia's, he only went to the ball for a small glass of wine to see if any new faces appeared around the countess, and the rest of the time, all of which was spent on improving his strength.

Because of the full arrangement, time flies, and another month passes in a blink of an eye.

On February 5, Downer was promoted to mid-rank reserve knight, which took a month longer than the promotion to the lower rank, but the speed was still unbelievable.

As expected, the results of Azure Douqi's cultivation helped Donner's magic experiment break through again. Now he could clearly observe the process of the collapse of the divine sea the moment he triggered the magic.

The process of the collapse of the sea of the gods was extremely short, and if it weren't for the fact that this possibility had been theoretically speculated in advance, even if it was inadvertently observed, it would probably have been ignored.
