Chapter Forty-Seven: The Feast That Never Goes Away in the World
After resting for the night, replenished with enough food and fresh water, the group set out on the journey back to Napoleon's city.
The mood was completely different from when they came, and the apprehension of the unknown had been completely replaced by the joy of returning triumphantly, originally they just tentatively wanted to try their luck in the nine-layer purgatory, and they were ready to come back if they couldn't go on, but they didn't expect that their luck was really surprisingly good, not only did not have any major accidents, but they also succeeded in obtaining the blood of Asmodeus.
For Anna, the importance of this trip is self-evident, but for others, the significance of this trip varies from person to person.
For Shi Di, the biggest gain is undoubtedly to determine that his life experience is inevitably related to the Heavenly Punishment Gate, and he met Asmodeus, who knew his father and mother, and Asmodeis also pointed out to him the ultimate clue to understand his life experience, that is, to enter the Wanbao Pavilion of the Heavenly Punishment Gate.
This is much better than the initial situation of complete confusion, although Asmodeus did not leave him any information about his parents, but as long as he follows this clear thread, the day when everything will be revealed is just around the corner.
One thing that made Shi Di feel puzzled was the relationship between Asmodeis and Gu Ci, that day he clearly looked like he and Gu Ci were old acquaintances, but afterwards Gu Ci didn't admit it, only said that he recognized the wrong person.
Such a clumsy excuse, Gu Ci didn't embellish it at all, so he used it loudly, as if I just didn't say what you can do with me.
There is no doubt that Gu Ci has a secret, which Shi Di realized as early as when he first met Gu Ci in Fengyun Prison, but he was reluctant to say it at this moment, and Shi Di didn't want to force him.
He believed that one day Gu Ci would tell him everything, and until then he would just have to wait patiently.
For Tamer, the biggest gain is naturally to figure out where he came from, and it is also very clear where he will go next, he wants to go to the royal capital of the Raging Kingdom to find more clues about his background.
Another big gain is to meet Xiao Bai Ze, this little ancient beast who is determined to sign a contract with him has such excellent skills, it can take many beasts for its own use, this is just the beginning of the collection of a two-winged evil dragon, with its help, their journey will undoubtedly be much smoother in the future.
The gains of these two people are obvious, but in addition to them, there is another person who has also obtained important clues, and that person is Yan Sing.
The task of her trip was originally to find out Gu Ci's identity for the master of the Heavenly Punishment Gate, and Gu Ci was perfectly hidden all the way, making her almost nowhere to be found.
But this time when he entered the ninth layer of purgatory, Gu Ci finally revealed clues.
First of all, why is he an old acquaintance of Asmodeus, and listening to Asmodeus's tone, he is deliberately hiding most of his strength, why did he do this, and what is the purpose of his following Shi Di.
Secondly, as an ordinary spiritual magician, why would he be so proficient in the art of healing dragons, this is also a big doubt, the technique of healing dragons is not as good as ordinary light elemental spirituality, dragons are originally extremely difficult to see creatures, and healing dragons is a very difficult thing, without thousands of experiences, it is impossible to have such skillful techniques as Gu Ci.
In addition, she herself has made significant progress in secretly investigating clues related to the Heavenly Punishment Gate.
Shi Di must be kept an eye on, his life experience is clearly inseparable from the Heavenly Punishment Gate.
The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly Punishment Gate is definitely going to explore, even as one of the Five Venerables, she has never heard of such a place as the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion in the Heavenly Punishment Gate before, what is hidden there, will she be able to find news related to the door master.
Anyway, the master of the door didn't ask her to complete this task within any time limit, and what they were going to do next coincided with their goals, so it would definitely not be wrong to continue to follow this group of people, Yan Sing made a decision silently in his heart.
As for Yi Miao and Gu Ci, the meaning of this trip seems to be to do more harm than good, and Yi Miao is cursed, and Gu Ci exposes his suspicions, but these two people don't seem to care much about their situation.
If you want to say that the most depressed among everyone, it must be Ke Meng, thanks to the Thunder and Lightning Flame Demon, he has not returned to his normal state until now, this time the form period of the Dangkang Cub Beast is longer than any before, so long that he can't help but wonder if it will continue like this forever.
If he is allowed to live like this in the future, he might as well be killed right now.
In short, our mascot Ke Meng has been in a very bad mood lately.
In this way, different people have different minds, but have a common goal, fate is like an invisible hand, firmly binding these six people together, and the road ahead is still long, and there are still many tests waiting for them.
Putting all of the above aside, the group laughed and laughed along the way, and the days always passed exceptionally fast, and soon the city of Napoleon appeared in front of them.
Returning to this familiar city again, looking at the still bustling streets, Anna's mood has changed a lot, she has experienced too many things that she has never experienced before, and she has also understood a lot of truths, and the meaning of this trip for her is far more than just lifting the curse on her body.
The arrogant and willful eldest lady finally got real growth, and it was the changes and realizations that were deeply implanted in Anna's soul during this journey that enabled her to successfully take over the responsibilities of the city lord from the Hebrew lord a year later, and take on the mission of protecting Napoleon's citizens.
After entering Napoleon's city, the group ran directly to the council chamber, and when Major Reims saw them returning, he immediately went in to inform the Hebrew lord, and immediately received instructions to invite them in.
When the Hebrew city lord saw the triumphant return of the group, he stood up from his position tremblingly almost with tears in his eyes, and this always serious city lord seemed to be unable to hide the surging feelings in his heart at this moment.
At that time, he was not unaware of Anna's private departure, although he didn't say it on the surface, but he actually acquiesced to Anna's willfulness, after all, if he really didn't want Anna to leave, Anna would have tried her best to leave this Napoleon City for half a step.
Almost the day after Anna left, the Hebrew city lord regretted his decision, he had such a daughter in his life, and he was almost spoiled, and if he encountered any accident this time, he could not imagine what he would become.
But it was too late to regret it, and since then, the Hebrew lord and his wife have been living in fear, looking forward to their daughter's return day after day.
Now that Anna has not only returned to Napoleon safely, but has also successfully retrieved the blood of Asmodeus, she is about to unravel the curse that has plagued them for many years, and this result greatly surprises the Hebrew city lord.
It seems that this daughter of his own has not only grown up, but also is better than the blue, looking at Anna, whose temperament has changed significantly from before, the Hebrew city lord can't help but feel a little relieved.
In the evening, it was still in the Hebrew lord's mansion, the familiar dining room, and the same diners as before, but the atmosphere at the table had changed dramatically.
The joy of victory was undoubtedly the main theme throughout the dinner, and at the last dinner, the city lord's family was still shrouded in the shadow of a curse, and even if the atmosphere was harmonious, there was always a hint of forced laughter mixed in.
In this reunion, the curse has been removed, and the joy at this time is already the joy from the heart.
When everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, they couldn't help but recall that when they met here for the first time, Anna and the others had a conflict with Shi Di and Tamer, and they almost didn't fight directly, and they all laughed when they talked about the past.
After the nine-layer purgatory, they have changed from the initial dislike of each other to the current intimacy, supporting each other along the way, and forming a deep friendship with each other.
It is precisely because of this that although the whole dinner party was full of joy, it inevitably brought some parting sadness.
Shi Di and the others will leave Napoleon City tomorrow and go to the Tyrannical Kingdom, which may be difficult to meet in a short time.
Although Anna has a lot of reluctance in her heart, and even thought about continuing to walk with Shi Di and the others, they have different missions after all, she is destined to stay in Napoleon City, follow her father to learn if to become a competent city lord, and Shi Di and the others are also destined to continue to move forward, to find a way to enter the Heavenly Punishment Gate Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, to complete their mission.
In the past, Anna might not hesitate to choose to leave Napoleon City with Shi Di and others, but now it is no longer the willful and arrogant eldest lady.
She began to understand what it means to be considerate, what to be tolerant, and what it is to be responsible.
She also gradually realized what responsibility she shouldered, her identity was not only the name Anna, but also the successor to the future city lord after the city lord, the entire Napoleonic city citizens, all belonged to her.
So, she can't leave, she can only choose to separate from these good partners.
If Anna is the most reluctant in this line of people, it is naturally Shi Di, Anna knows that she has a good impression of Shi Di, but she has never shown Shi Di that she understands that Shi Di does not belong here, and Shi Di's heart is not in her.
She is the daughter of the city lord, and she has been arrogant since she was a child, if she wants to hear her sweetheart's rejection with her own ears, then she would rather this mind rot like this, so even if there is more reluctance in her heart, Anna can only put on a free and easy posture.
Shi Di, please take care, everyone, you must also take care.
I believe that the fate between us will not be so shallow, as long as we are concerned, there will be a day when we will meet again, and at that time, Anna will definitely become a qualified city lord and let you see my growth.
Anna looked at these good partners around her who were born and died for her, and silently made blessings and promises in her heart.
