"Why did it take so long?"

Xinghe looked in the direction of the voice and saw Rong Ruo's face with a little anger. He looked back in some surprise to find that he was already standing on the busy street in front of the large library, and he had just stepped through that door, how did he get here.

"Don't look, this is the old man's magic, he's gone, don't stand there stupidly, we're in a hurry!" Rong Ruo answered the doubts in Xinghe's heart, and at the same time did not forget to urge him.

Rong Ruo boarded a carriage next to him after reminding him, and Xinghe noticed the carriage with the Valhalla logo, and he trotted over and boarded the carriage as well.

In the carriage, everyone had already sat down and were waiting for him, and after he sat down on the edge of Lan Yue, Anton couldn't help but ask: "Xinghe, what are you talking about in the back, it took so long?"

"Yes, yes, tell us, what did the old man say to you?" Rong Ruo's eyes also appeared with a glint of gossip, but before she could get excited for a few seconds, she was tapped on the door of her head.

Sophia looked at her seriously and said, "Miss, be careful with your words. ”

Rong Ruo covered his head a little aggrievedly, which made Xinghe a little ridiculous, but he still shook his head and denied: "We just chatted for a while. ”

It was just that he suddenly remembered his unanswered question, so he changed the conversation and asked Rong Ruo: "If I have a question in the future and want to ask the All-Knowing, how can I find him?"

"Ask him for advice, is there anything you can't figure out?" Rong Ruo looked at him suspiciously.

"Brother, is something going on?" Lan Yue also asked, with a little worry and concern in her eyes.

Although Xinghe didn't think he showed any unusual emotions, the little sister who had been dependent on him for many years was afraid that she still found something from him, but he still smiled and denied: "What can there be, after all, he is known as an omniscient omniscient, and it is normal for me to have some thoughts." ”

Rong Ruo didn't think much about it, and replied casually, "Maruzat lives in the inner library of the Great Library, if you want to find him, just go there and find him." ”

"It's so simple?" Xinghe was a little hard to believe, after all, Maruzat was known to be omniscient, he knew that many people wanted to ask him for advice, if he just went to the inner pavilion to find him, then I am afraid that he would not have to do anything every day, and it would be enough to wait for the people who came to the door.

"Of course, it's not that simple. Sophia patted Rong Ruo's head and denied her claim, "The mansion of the All-Knowing Lord is indeed in the inner hall of the Great Library, but if you don't get his permission, ordinary people will never find their way into the inner library." If you want to ask him, you can go to the special place in the outer hall to register, and if he is willing to receive him, he will send you an invitation to enter the inner hall. ”

"Hmph, what's so troublesome. Rong Ruo was a little unconvinced, patted her chest and assured Xinghe, "If you want to go to the inner pavilion, you can find me, I know the way to the inner pavilion." ”

Her enthusiasm was quickly extinguished by Sophia with a basin of cold water, "Miss, I hope you remember that it is very rude to enter someone's house without notice. ”

"But" Rong Ruo wanted to defend something, but under Sophia's gaze, she finally gave up arguing.

The direction of Xinghe Consciousness's conversation was already a little off, and he hurriedly diverted the topic, "How is our next itinerary arranged?" ”

"Eh, didn't I tell you?" Rong Ruo asked rhetorically, seeing that everyone was confused, she said in a trance: "Oh, that must have been me forgot, but there is no need to care about such a trivial matter." ”

Xing He's heart suddenly swelled with an unreliable feeling, and he suddenly wondered what kind of consideration Dan Huangsheng had used to let Rong Ruo represent the family to participate in this seemingly important gathering. Rong Ruo himself was not the slightest conscious, "The carriage will take us to the station, and then take the 'Newton', and probably get off at Bourbon, the border city of Norwich Province, tomorrow, and enter the Misty Forest after resting for half a day." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiaoxin couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, the hunt is about to start the day after tomorrow, and we don't have much time to waste. Rong Ruo replied.

Xiaoxin's doubts did not lessen, "In this case, why didn't you leave earlier, wouldn't it be too hasty now?"

Rong Ruo scratched her head and replied, "Is it in a hurry, I don't think so, but I only found out about it the day before yesterday." ”

Now even Xinghe feels a little weird, and the team participating in the big hunt this time is a little too hasty, and it seems a bit child's play.

"According to the practice of the previous session, it was originally Master Dan Huisheng who personally went to the Misty Forest to watch the ceremony. Sophia, who was sitting on the side, opened her mouth to explain after perceiving everyone's doubts, "But this year's situation is a bit special, Valhalla is busy dealing with the follow-up matters of Jiangcheng, and Master Dan Huangsheng can't get away, so it is inevitable that Miss Rong Ruo will come on behalf of the family at the temporary decision." ”

"That's right. Xinghe nodded, feeling that this seemed to be in the past, and he didn't particularly care.

As Rong Ruo said, their next trip was really rushed, and the group just got off the carriage and got on the "Newton" again, boarding the steam locomotive with a familiar brass luster, Xinghe couldn't help but feel a little emotionally that this car was about to become their special seat, and it had not yet been officially opened, but they had already taken it several times.

Compared with the few people who are already familiar with this car, Xiaoxin and Xiaorou sisters are very excited to see this epoch-making product for the first time, especially Xiaorou, who almost visited the Newton from beginning to end.

But in fact, such a long drive is still very boring, especially without the novelty of the first ride, and without the nervousness of the last time, Xinghe fell into a half-asleep state not long after he was on the road, and by the time he woke up, it was already late at night, and everyone had fallen asleep on the chairs.

The headlights in the carriage had been turned off, and only the small lights embedded in the walls still emitted a faint glow. In the faint light, Xinghe could see Sophia helping Rong Ruo cover her with a blanket, and her sleeping appearance was obviously not good-looking.

Not only her, but Lan Yue, they and him all covered themselves with a blanket, and I think Sophia helped cover it. Xinghe looked around and turned around, just in time to meet Sophia's gaze, she made a silent gesture to Xinghe and walked over lightly.

"Are you awake, do you want water?" Sophia poured a glass of water from the kettle on the table and handed it to him.

Xinghe licked his lips and found that he was indeed a little thirsty, so he took the water cup, took a sip, and found that the water inside was not cold or hot, and the temperature was just right. He glanced at the kettle with some surprise, feeling the magic left behind in it.

"Thank you. Xinghe held the water glass and said sincerely.

Sophia smiled slightly, "It's just a trivial matter. ”

Xinghe shook his head, his gratitude was not just for this glass of water, "Thank you for taking care of you along the way." ”

"You are friends of the young lady, and it is my duty. ”

Perhaps this is indeed a trivial matter in Sophia's eyes, but Xinghe is indeed grateful, no one has ever cared about their lives before coming to the capital, no one will come at night to check if they have covered themselves properly, and no one will prepare warm water for them to quench their thirst.

"I'm glad you can be Miss's friends. Sophia then spoke, her expression unpretentious, she said and looked back at Rong Ruo, who turned over again, with doting in her eyes, "Miss actually doesn't have any friends among her peers. ”

"No friends?" Xinghe was a little puzzled.

"Miss Rong Ruo is an adopted child of Master Dan Huisheng, which is not a secret in the Hegu family, but for children, it is easy for her to be excluded by her peers, so Miss does not have any playmates of the same age in the family. Sophia explained slowly, "When Miss grows up a little, she will become an agent at Valhalla, and move out to live with Young Master Jose, Young Master Jose is a good person, but in terms of human sophistication, he is not even as good as Miss as a little girl, and it is impossible to expect him to care about whether Miss has made friends." ”

Sophia said with obvious helplessness, "Actually, I think it's actually a good thing for Miss to lose her magic power, and the identity of an agent at Valhalla is still a little early for her. ”

Xinghe imagined this picture in his mind, Rong Ruo followed José to various parts of the empire to arrest criminals, that kind of life is indeed not what a child should have.

"I'm glad Mademoiselle has made you friends. Miss likes to mess around, and she doesn't obey discipline, Master Xinghe, I hope you will watch her more in the future, so as not to let her cause any trouble. If she does do something stupid, I hope you can forgive her. ”

Sophia's words made Xinghe feel a little strange, and he was about to answer, but he heard a sneeze. He and Sophia both turned their heads with a little weakness, and found that Rong Ruo just rubbed her nose, turned over, changed directions, and continued to sleep peacefully, not that she heard them talking about her.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Sophia took the water cup from Xinghe's hand and put it on the table, "Master Xinghe, you can rest too, we are still far from Bourbon." ”

"Well, you should rest early, too. ”

"Good night. ”

"Good night. ”

Sophia still walked away lightly, and Xinghe finally closed his eyes with peace of mind after glancing at Lan Yue and the others beside him for a moment, making sure that the blankets covering them had not been removed.
