At the dinner table of the three, Donner was sometimes in a daze, sometimes frowning, and he didn't even realize that the bread in his hand was crumbled into crumbs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lucia looked at Wesley with an inquiring look and said, "What's wrong with him?"

Wesley shrugged his shoulders, rolled his eyes, and replied softly, "Often, leave him alone." ”

Lucia looked at Donner, a little distressed, and felt guilty that she couldn't help anything.

At this moment, Donner stood up as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream. "I'm absent for a while...... You eat first. With that, the man was already outside the house.

"Are you really okay?" Lucia frowned at Wesley.

"It's okay...... Wesley waved his hand widely, "Halfway through a meal like this, it is not uncommon for you to suddenly remember that the world is still waiting for him to save you, and you will slowly get used to it." ”

There was a strange sense of disobedience in his words, and Lucia couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then she was a little worried, and shook her head: "It's a pity that I can't help anything." ”

"Why can't you help?" Wesley pouted, "He saves the world, you save him......"

"What nonsense," Lucia gave him a blank look, "I'm waiting for him to come to his rescue." ”

Wesley smiled, and then, as if he had thought of something, put down his knife and fork, and said with a straight face: "To be serious, he has a serious heart, and he is always sullen after returning from the Magic Continent, he doesn't say it, but I can see that part of the reason is because of Rickle, hmm...... You don't know yet, do you?

"He talked about the girls he met on the magic ship, but he didn't say he was half-elves. ”

"That's it...... I met him on the magic ship, and I was immediately fascinated by him," Wesley said this, suddenly realizing that something was wrong with this, and hurriedly explained, "Uh...... I'm not saying you're inferior to others, it's just that the half-elf was eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, and when Donner left, you were only fifteen years old, and your level of development was different, you know what I mean?"

"What do you mean, comforting a loser?" asked Lucia with a smile.

Wesley rolled his eyes, then said, "Anyway, that guy is very strange, and he has a tendon in women's affairs, so you should enlighten him more." ”

"How do you enlighten him?" Lucia sighed, "I don't even know what I'm up to." ”

"What do you mean? Didn't he tell you clearly?" Wesley was surprised.

"He said it vaguely, it sounds like you can understand it......" Lucia pouted, she and Wesley had been friends for many years, and there was no scruple about talking to each other.

"This bastard is always like this!" Wesley patted his forehead, then half-jokingly, "I say, why don't you take the initiative?"

"I, am I not active enough?" Lucia shook her head helplessly, "Anyway, as long as he doesn't drive me away, I'll be here anyway......"

"Yours!" Wesley laughed.

"Hey, I think you'd better be less entangled with those young women...... They don't have a good thing. From the stories that came from their mouths to the aristocratic salons, you don't have a good image. Lucia reminded instead.

"Do you think I'll care about that?" Wesley shrugged, "Besides, I'm hiding in this hellish place now, and I can't get caught up even if I want to." ”

Lucia touched her forehead with a smile, and then said, "Is there any news of Kelei?"

"Maybe I'll be dead...... Wesley said with a pretended relief.

"It's better to be dead. Lucia blurted out, glanced at Wesley, and made sure he wasn't angry because of it, before sighing, "What about him, don't you have a tendon yourself?"

"How could I be like him?" Wesley said disdainfully, "I don't refuse to come." ”

"You're too modest, you're obviously taking the initiative, okay?" Lucia smiled, "Still, I think you're like him in your bones, but in the opposite way." ”

"Cut...... You'd better care more about your own affairs. Wesley waved his hand like a fly, his expression full of disdain.

Lucia knew that the more serious he was, the more so, so she stopped persuading him, glanced at the open door, and said lightly: "I'm afraid this time is a very important matter." ”

......

Passing through the newly opened narrow passage at the entrance of Fog City, he turned a corner, and with the faint light reflected from the stone wall, he activated the dense pattern magic circle, and the heavy stone gate slowly opened, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young Master?" Layla shouted tentatively through a stone screen.

"Yes, yes. Donner casually agreed, and turned back to close the stone door.

Layla's head came out from behind the screen and asked with a grin, "Isn't the young master going to live in Misty Town tonight?"

"Something. Donner replied with a blank face.

Seeing the young master's serious expression, Layla stuck out her tongue in fright and hid back in the living room behind the screen.

Because this newly opened stone villa does not need to be used as a passage, in addition to a few bedrooms and a studio, the large living room, dining room, living room, and bathroom have only three walls.

The north-facing side was facing the sky beyond the cliff for as much natural light as possible—Una and Layla would not have dared to approach this side until they were in a position to install glass, but the rooms were large enough to be crowded even if they were only in the south's third.

North Fall Cliffs are north of the Tropic of Cancer on the planet, and a few days before the autumn harvest, when the setting sun comes in from the northwest almost parallel to the stone chamber, casting a clear line on the smooth rock floor, with bright golden yellow on one side and shadows on the other.

Visually, this villa looks like a masterpiece of postmodern minimalist architecture adapted to local conditions.

The smooth stone walls corroded by the Stone Dissolving Circle still retain the natural texture of the rocks, the floor is covered with a hand-woven carpet to prevent slipping, and the tables, chairs, and benches are all deliberately preserved rocks from the Stone Dissolving Stone Room - the two girls spent almost a month on these delicate tasks, nominally practicing the magic array, but in fact Donner felt that they were purely for fun.

When building this stone villa, apart from the gate and the dense lock, Donner did only one thing: along the rock wall more than 700 meters high, he diverted part of the small river that flowed through Misty Town to this stone chamber. Una and Layla made this water source into a stream that ran along the walls of each room—Donner, who heard them discussing a few fish, finally stopped them.

At this moment, Donner was walking around the screen in a half-bright and half-dark corridor, and in the living room next to the corridor, Layla was pretending to draw a magic circle, but her eyes were looking at Donner.

Donner didn't pay any attention to her, and his steps, though still steady, were noticeably faster than usual.

The sound of gurgling water can be heard from the open-air bathroom at the end of the hallway. Probably having heard Donner's voice a long time ago, Una trotted out barefoot wrapped in a bathrobe, "Master, are you back?" Her long wet purple hair was still dripping.

Donner let out a casual "um" and walked into his studio, turning to close the door shut.

On the side of this sprawling studio, which required four second-level magic lamps to fully illuminate, there were six sound transmission circles.

Donna activates one of the circles, which leads to Natia's residence in the middle of Foggy City.

After a while, Natia's laughing voice sounded above the circle: "Donner, if you want to invite me to dinner, I'm afraid it's a little late." ”

"There's no one around you now, right?" asked Donner, in a deep voice.

Natia sensed the seriousness of the situation, and her tone became solemn: "...... I'm alone, what's going on?"

"I want to see Cynthia, the stakes are high, and I am in a hurry. ”

There was a distinct sound of breathing on the other end of the circle, and then Natia replied, "...... Okay, what can you say now?"

Donner was slightly silent and muttered, "Life and death ......"

"I see......" In the middle of Fog City, Natia nodded blankly, and it wasn't until the circle was extinguished that she woke up from a dream.
