Liuli stood in the somewhat empty temple of the goddess, quietly watching Mei Yi painting the murals.

After a long time, Meiyi stopped, and as a result, Liuli handed him the water, and drank it with a bang. He sat on the high platform and suddenly asked, "Archbishop, do you say that there really are gods in this world?" ”

Ruri smiled, "Are you sure it's appropriate to ask the clergy this question?" ”

Mei Yi scratched her head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry. ”

Liuli took the empty bowl handed over by Mei Yi and said, "Unlike the goddess Emilia of the Elven Kingdom, the goddess of the subhuman kingdom is a living deity, and she exists among us as an ordinary person. After she dies, another goddess appears. ”

Mei Yi said: "No wonder when I asked Li Li for the portrait of the gods, she said no. It turns out that the goddess of the subhuman kingdom does not have a unified image at all. What is the main content of the teachings of the Goddess Cult of the Subhuman Kingdom? I've never seen it. ”

Liuli said: "Our doctrine is to protect the reputation of the goddess. ”

Mei Yi scratched her head: "Archbishop Liuli, I'm a little confused. The reputation of the goddess? ”

Ruri nodded: "Yes, the reputation of the goddess." When mortals encounter calamity, they will pray to the goddess for protection, hoping that she can show unparalleled power, but they often forget that the uncontrollable and unparalleled power is the real disaster. The doctrine of our main shrine is to protect the honor of the goddess forever. ”

"As for the mission, it's to kill the gods."

The glass palm was against the cold carved glass window, and his face was still calm, "The gods are our reliance, and they are also our worst enemies." ”

"Oh...... Oh......"

Liuli said: "Her Majesty has sent someone to talk about the meeting, I am very grateful to you, and I am willing to help us finish the mural." The queen wants me to persuade you to stay in the kingdom of the subhumans, saying that whatever it takes. ”

Mei Yi sighed: "Frankly speaking, I'm really a little reluctant. The subhuman kingdom is beautiful, peaceful, and the people are very tolerant, so it's a nice place. It's just that I already have another hometown in my heart, the relatives and lovers I care about. ”

Liuli said softly: "I really have no reason to persuade you to stay. ”

In the evening, Meiyi invited Liuli and Li Li to dinner. He cooks some of his best dishes – tomato fillet soup, pineapple and shrimp balls, grilled steak with vegetable boxes, shredded bananas, ice cream and egg fried rice.

There are ice cubes stored in the main shrine for the winter, and making ice cream is not a difficult task.

No one but Betty had eaten any of these things. As soon as Liuli, Li Li, and Pelty ate a mouthful of soup, they were conquered. After that, pineapple and shrimp balls, grilled steak with vegetable boxes were even more addictive to several people.

Desserts are always a girl's favorite. The silk banana amazed several people, and the ice cream instantly made several people indulge in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

How can there be such delicious food in this world?

"Meiyi, have you ever been a chef?" Li Li felt her taste buds dancing.

Mei Yi served the egg fried rice and said with a smile: "No." I only occasionally cook for my family and friends. ”

"Your family and friends are so happy." Ruri, who has always been at ease with the poor food in the main shrine, has never eaten such a delicious thing, and can't help but admire.

Mei Yi wiped her hands, sat down on the stool, and said, "This is really nothing." I'm quite lazy, and I've never cooked a serious meal for Kira, and Kira has always been cooking for me in turn. As for Serena, she did it a few times, but it was a long time ago. Former friends have slowly become estranged. ”

"Brother, why?" Betty couldn't help but ask.

Mei Yi said: "After becoming a big lord, I don't see my friends very much, and when I meet occasionally, they can't treat me like before." Later, because there were rumors that the royal family was going to do something to me, everyone was scared. ”

Betty said with a serious face: "If it was Betty, she would never alienate and abandon her brother." ”

Mei Yi smiled: "Well, thank you." In fact, people didn't want to alienate and abandon me. ”

Liuli said: "Meiyi, when you talk about what happened in the Elven Kingdom, it seems that the whole person is glowing. ”

"Maybe it's because there's my sun there."

Li Li poured fruit tea for everyone, and Mei Yi took the cup and said to Betty, "Congratulations, Betty, you will be able to see your sister in a few days." Being a swordsman is bound to be very fortunate and dangerous, so please be sure to be safe. In the future, I can't go on with you anymore. Thank you for taking care of you all the time. ”

Betty held back her tears and said, "Brother, Betty will definitely be fine." Brother, Pelti, when you return to Xiaoshi Village, please say goodbye to everyone on Betty's behalf, Betty will definitely go back to visit you again. ”

Pelty's eyes were red and he said, "I know, Betty." ”

"Also, brother, before you leave Xiaoshi Village, please come and see our house, okay? Then water the ball chrysanthemum in front of the door and the ivy behind the house, take out the clothes to dry and take them back, and then distribute the harvest in the field to everyone. ”

Speaking of this, Betty's tears couldn't help but sob.

Perti took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped Betty's tears.

Mei Yi said: "I will, for me, it is also a place full of memories. ”

Betty hugged Pelty again and said with tears in her eyes: "Pelty, on the way back, my brother will ask you to take care of it." ”

"Betty, I will. You are in the army, you must be good. Pelti couldn't help crying.

Early the next morning, Mei Yi and Betty got into a carriage sent by the royal family, and after three or four days of bumpy rides, they came to the Northern Highlands, where Betty's sister Belia was located.

After the carriage stopped, Meiyi shook Betty, who was asleep on top of her, and said, "Betty, wake up." We're here. ”

Betty woke up in a daze. She stepped out of the carriage with Mei Yi's support, rubbed her eyes, and instantly saw the person who had been thinking about her for a few hundred meters - her sister Belia.

"Betty !!" Belia excitedly shouted Betty's name and sprang towards Betty.

"Sister? Sister! Betty woke up instantly, tears instantly overflowed her eyes, and she rushed towards her sister.

Running and running, Betty felt more and more that something was wrong, and just as she and her sister hugged tightly, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and saw that Mei Yi was standing alone a hundred meters away, smiling and waving at her.

She was shocked violently in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Sister, let me go!" ”

Belia burst into tears and said, "Betty, I won't let you go again." ”

"Sister, I have something very important, really!"

"What could be more important than the reunion of our sisters?"

Belia hugged her tighter. Years of military career have tempered Belia's strong arm strength, and Betty feels that she is almost out of breath.

At this moment, Mei Yi moved her lips and stepped into the carriage.

With amazing ears, she clearly heard Mei Yi's last words.

"Goodbye, my dear sister, that's all I can do for you."

"Mr. Coachman, go back, my mission is complete."

Betty managed to break free from Belea's embrace and ran after her, but she couldn't even see the shadow of the carriage, and there was only green in front of her eyes and white clouds rolling like mountains, so quiet that there was no sound.

Her heart seemed to be empty all at once.

I clearly said that I would not alienate and abandon my brother.

But as soon as I saw my sister, I turned around and left him without a trace of hesitation.

Betty burst into tears.

"Brother!!

Mei Yi quietly painted a mural in the temple of the goddess.

After Liuli was busy with teaching affairs for a day, she came over and quietly watched him paint.

Although Mei Yi's expression was very calm, Liuli could see through the huge fluctuations in his heart at a glance, like a tidal wave, and the sad emotions came one after another, and his brushstrokes were obviously a little stiff.

It's hard for Liuli to understand why someone like Mei Yi cares so much about a very ordinary Asian girl.

Painting and painting, Meiyi's emotions collapsed like a river bursting its embankment. He sat down on the high platform, put down his palette and paintbrush, and silently shed tears.

"Meiyi, why are you crying?" Ruri asked softly.

"I'm sorry, Archbishop. Some missed Betty and her family and friends. ”

"Why didn't you call me by name? I still like it when you call me Archbishop Liuli. ”

"Oh...... Oh. Archbishop of Liuli. ”

"Just call me Ruri."

"Yes...... May I? ”

"Absolutely."

Ryu...... Glass. ”

"Yes, Meiyi."

The big glass-blue eyes shone with a warm glow.

"By the way, Ruri, can I use that mirror to see my family?" A thought suddenly popped into Mei Yi's mind. His voice trembled, and he hated why he hadn't thought of it sooner.

"Try it, I don't know." Ruri said, "Let's go." ”

When Mei Yi put her palm on the mirror with anticipation, she waited for a long time, but nothing happened.

Although she was mentally prepared for the result, Mei Yi still felt that her whole person seemed to be drained of strength, and the frustration that he usually deliberately hid suddenly enveloped her heart.

Where do I find them?

I don't even know which way to go.

Are they looking for me too?

Do they exist?

The belief in supporting Meiyi is getting weaker and weaker.

Mei Yi said, "Thank you, Bishop. Sorry, I'll go back and rest first. ”

Lost and returned to her room, Mei Yi fell on the bed, stared blankly at the ceiling, and fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, the white-haired fox's roar before dying was extremely clear:

"Damn the Terrans, they have cut off the hope of our generation again! However, don't be complacent, sooner or later, our demons will tear apart all the descendants of the gods and take back the World Tree! ”

He woke up with a sudden start.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sky was full of stars.
