Chapter 2: The Days Before Parting

The time spent alone with Carlisle didn't last long, and soon Warriff and Amy arrived in the City of Wisdom.

Leah laughed wickedly when she noticed that the fat thief was walking on his lap legs and grinning in pain.

"If only Leona had been there. ”

After chatting with Warrif and Amy for a while, the fat thief once again had a hard time looking for the cute mage girls at the banquet, so he looked at Amy, who was following Warriff like a little tail, and Lea suddenly missed Leona, who was the only one who was not present.

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. ???So I should say, now is the right time?"

Leah quickly turned her head and saw a warrior girl in the dust... No, the girl is already a real knight now. At this time, the other party was wearing a white jade-like dragon bone armor with a fiery red pattern on it, which was a gift from Leah after returning from the Dark Fire Forest - a large amount of equipment made of wurm materials.

It was evident that Leona was in a hurry, did not change into her evening dress, and did not even have time to take care of her wind-blown hair during the griffon ride.

"Happy birthday, Leah, and congratulations on your successful restoration of the flickering magic. ”

Looking at the little Lori, the knight girl said with a smile.

"Tonight's surprises are really endless. Congratulations also on becoming a knight, Leona. ”

First the knight, then Leona. Seeing the familiar people appear one after another, Leah couldn't help but laugh.

"Knight Leona. Angelica is here to help. ”

Make a standard knightly salute, Leona said. Angelica is the surname given to Leona, and it is also a sign that the maiden has become a nobleman.

"In that case, please give me the pleasure of drinking a glass of wine with Angelica, from Snow Lotus City, you must be frozen to death. ”

Speaking in a joking tone, Lori handed over a cocktail.

"Ah, to be honest, it's really cold in Snow Lotus City. ”

Putting away the joking honorifics, Leona said that she really needed a glass of wine to warm her stomach.

"I... After that, he planned to go to the knights of Duke Arman, and the dispatch order had been approved by Lord Karen. ”

Suddenly, Leona said.

"Yes. ”

Leah was not surprised at all, Leona had a special affection for Duke Arman, which everyone could see, after all, the knight girl was not the kind of person who was good at hiding her heart.

"Before... I've told you my story. ”

Leona said as she looked out the window at the night.

"Yes. ”

Even if you want to forget, you can't forget the fact that the girl around me was taken away by the thieves when she was a child.

"Actually, the knight who saved me was Lord Arman. ”

"That's right. ”

Leah nodded. She had guessed this fact, so she wasn't very surprised.

"Well... But the man doesn't remember me anymore. After all, so long after that..."

The cultivator's lifespan is relatively long, so Arman's appearance is not much different from what he used to be. But on the other hand, Leona, when a little Lori grows into a flower girl, it's not so easy to recognize.

"Of course, it is enough for me to be able to repay the Duke of Arman. But... I can do it again..."

Finally, Leona said.

"Rest assured, Leona will be of great help to Duke Arman, and this is me, Leah. Fallane said, not really. ”

Noticing Leona's lack of confidence, Leah comforted.

"Thank you, Leah. ”

So the knight girl smiled reassuringly.

With Leona's arrival, several good people finally gathered and began the banquet that was truly true to them.

And so it went on for a full week.

On December 7, 927 in the Randall calendar, it was an extremely ordinary and unusual day.

At this time, Ed Nihua was snowing neither too big nor too small. This was the first snow since the beginning of winter, and Ed Nihua was dressed in plain silver.

Outside the castle gates, a few good people were doing their final goodbyes.

Except for little Amy, who was already crying, the rest of the people also moistened their eyes. This is the final goodbye. If anyone cares about this, it's Melty, who is fine as long as she is by Leah's side.

"Leona, please, Carlisle. ”

"Ah, Leah is relieved. ”

"Woo... I'm also very good, and I won't trouble Carlisle and Lord Arman. ”

Although the knight girl is a fledgling little nobleman, with Carlisle here, Leah seems very relieved.

"Warriff, Amy, if you are in trouble, you can go to the Western-style mansion and ask for help. I'm no longer there, but I'm still a lord. ”

"Ah, Amy and I are first-class thieves. But you and Isabella have a lot to do on the way to Avedra, and the desert alone is no small test. ”

"No problem, we're mages...... Say yes, absolutely. Right. Don't steal the maids' underwear. ”

Subsequently, little Lori told Warriff and Amy again, and by the way, at the end, the fat thief rushed into the street gorgeously.

"Everyone... What I'm trying to say is that even if we're going to be at the ends of the world, we're going to be ......."

Finally, she looked at the crowd and said in a trembling voice.

Everyone nodded, a smile on their faces that would burst into tears at any moment.

"Let's go, then, too. ”

Finally, Leah looked at Isabella and said. Leona and Carlisle are heading to the Britt family's castle, Warriff and Amy are heading to the thieves' guild around Leah's territory, and Lori and Isabella are heading to Avedra, the great city of mages. Of course, there is also a small tail behind Melti.

"Huh?"

At this moment, a chill suddenly came.

"Leah !! !?"

Everyone who was about to leave saw little Lori sitting on the ground with her shoulders crossed.

"It's coming... Yes... It's coming..."

It's like a poisonous insect crawling up her body, although Leah doesn't do it, she clearly feels that something bad is about to appear on this continent.

So not only Leah, but everyone felt the atmospheric hum, as if they were crying.

......

On the Endless Sea...

"Little people, cheer up, after this time, you can spend a lot of time drinking!"

Katrina sailed the Mystic Light towards the pirates' gathering place, and she was very happy to have a fruitful experience.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, she let go of the rudder in her hand and looked up at the sky.

The same, in the Lord's Mansion...

Lady Anna and Merchant Thoma are busy with their work for the day under the direction of the head maid, Rebecca.

"Rebecca?"

Thoma, the head maid, suddenly put down her work and walked to the windowsill.

“......”

But Rebecca didn't answer, she just stared blankly at the sky.

Similarly, in the Darkfire Forest...

"Drink——!!! isn't it a good harvest this time, since that wurm is finished, there are more areas to explore around here. ”

Dietrich was counting the loot on the ground—full of monster corpses. Since the death of the wurm, some places that were previously inaccessible are now targeted by mercenary groups.

"Well, yes, with a stern look?"

She looked at Isador beside her, and the magic swordsman looked up.

Finally, in the Paladin's training camp...

"Space-time magic returns. ”

Germain. Bartley was reading the report. That's what is recorded about the little Lori's completion of the flash.

"It seems that I was too careless, and it wasn't just the princess who was in trouble, and maybe the girl named Leah would be an even bigger problem. ”

The thought that in the future there would be a space-time master standing behind the princess, no, according to Leah's talent, maybe even a space-time magician, Germain felt a little depressed.

"Maybe I need to do something to stifle this potential trouble... Huh!?"

Talking to himself, Germain suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky in the distance.

At this moment, all the people in the whole continent of Ivete raised their heads, and they saw that the sky was twisting and deforming, and then—the Buddha was smashed down like a giant hammer, and it cracked open like a broken mirror!

......

What no one sees, but instinctively fully knows—it is nothingness. There is no color, no elements, not even zài and space. What you can see from the cracks in the sky is such a simple "nothing".

"Another Lady of Chaos has awakened. This means that the world is about to experience the grief of Ragnarok again. ”

In the distant desert, on the tower of the mage city of Avedra, an old woman looked at the sky and muttered to herself, then she turned her head and said:

"Looks like there's not much left, Lady Evette. ”

There stood a young girl, her long golden hair, which could not be tarnished even by the wind and sand of the desert, and her blue eyes reflected sadness and worry. That is the culprit who brought Leah to the other world, Evette, the goddess of creation.

"Ruined Miè has woken up, and the world is about to usher in another catastrophe.

So I ...... Had to get it back...... The most important ones—the gods who once fell for the sake of this world. ”
