Interlude 1 guest back to Bai'an
As a city known for its music and tourism, Pak An is always visited by a steady stream of tourists throughout the year. As the only transportation hub with the outside world, the land ship port is naturally indispensable for the flow of people.
A land-based ship from Tiandu City arrived and docked five minutes ago, and a dense crowd poured out of the land-based ship, and people hurried towards the inspection gate, fearing that they would have to wait at the end of the line if they were too late.
Of course, there will also be travelers who are not so anxious, and they will slow down with the mentality that it is useless to be in a hurry. Such was the case with a woman in sunglasses, who was empty-handed and unpacked, hanging from the back of the crowd and strolling around.
"Hey, look over there, isn't that girl a little familiar?"
In the waiting hall, a couple who were originally chatting inadvertently glanced at the crowd that walked out of the land ship, and the woman's eyes were more bright, pointing to the end of the crowd and speaking.
"Who?" The man looked in the direction the woman said.
"That girl, the one with sunglasses, the one with the word tall!"
The woman clapped his hand: "I don't think she looks like the famous singer...... It's the one your friend likes very much, that Dongyingzhou person! β
"Dongyingzhou...... He likes it but not I like it, how do you understand this. β
"If you don't like it, you should know, the big star on TV every day, I remember what it's called, it's called hemp...... Mari? β
The woman said while thinking, and after a while, she spoke with some urgency: "Ah, it's a turn! Out of sight! β
"I don't know, I can't see it."
The man searched the crowd for a while, but finally couldn't see who the woman was talking about, so he had to reluctantly reassure: "Okay, okay, if you don't see it, you don't see it, and it won't look better than you anyway." β
The woman, who was still a little lost, suddenly raised her spirits: "Ouch, I love to hear this, say a few more words?" β
The little couple suddenly returned to the sweet atmosphere of you and me.
Episodes like this continue to play out in the harbor, and many people have also noticed this ordinary-looking woman in sunglasses, but most people can't judge the identity of the woman through the sunglasses, but they feel a little familiar.
The woman in sunglasses walked out of the port in this way, and walked into a car that had been waiting outside the port for a long time.
Eventually, the woman came to the old city by car and got off at the door of an old piano shop. She turned back to the driver's seat and waved lightly, striding into the piano shop.
In the piano shop, behind the counter, a girl with light blonde curly hair was lying on the table, sleeping soundly.
Seeing this, the woman smiled a little doting, stepped forward, and reached out to pat the girl's cheek gently.
Her movements brought the girl to her senses, and she looked at her sleepily. It seemed that it was because the identity of the person who came was a little special, so she paused slightly, and after carefully identifying it for a while, she was a little puzzled:
"Sister Chrysanthemum? Why are you here? β
The title of "Wood Chrysanthemum" made the woman who was originally smiling suddenly raise her eyebrows, raised her hand, and slapped the door of the girl's exposed brain: "How can you call people?" β
"Wow!" The girl was slapped like this, and suddenly came to her senses, "Why did you hit me!" β
"I've told you so many times, huh? Even if you can't call me 'Teacher' properly, you must at least call me 'Margaret' or 'Sister Yuanxiang'. Raising her fingers in a circle, the woman wearing sunglasses said seriously.
"But isn't Margaret just Artemisia...... Obviously, the code name given to you by the kingdom is Artemisia Chrysanthemum, right? β
"Sounds too rustic, but a title like 'Margaret' can show off my dazzle and beauty, right?"
Taking off the sunglasses on her face, the woman revealed her eyes: "Come, my dear disciple, give you a chance to change your title." β
What is quite amazing is that the woman with a rather mature and cold temperament when wearing sunglasses suddenly reveals a girlish naΓ―ve appearance after taking off the sunglasses: the youthful and beautiful appearance does not seem to be a few years older than the blonde girl at the counter, and the pair of red eyes are even more breathtaking.
"It's so meaty!"
However, the girl behind the counter didn't give Margaret the slightest face: "What the hell are you here for!" β
"What am I doing here? Isn't it because of your side of the business? I've heard people say that my hometown is about to be ruined, so I have to come back to see it, right? Margaret clasped her hands.
"Home? Wood...... Sister Yuanxiang, aren't you from the kingdom? The blonde girl said dryly.
"Where there's music, it's my hometown!"
was easily pierced by the other party, but Margaret responded without embarrassment: "So why are you the only one in the piano shop?" What about the lamps? β
"They're out on patrol."
"Patrol, why are you staying here?"
"I'm in charge of keeping the house......"
The blonde girl pointed at her fingers and said with a little weakness: "Prevent problems from here in the old city." β
"Really?"
ββ¦β¦ Because I caused trouble outside before, I caught the wrong person when I caught the bad guys, so now I'm grounded by Sister Dengzhan. The blonde girl snorted.
"You really like to get into trouble as always." Margaret smiled heartily.
"Whew." The blonde girl curled her mouth unwillingly.
"Forget it, it's just you, then do you know what happened in Bai'an City before?"
"Before? Nothing, right? β
The blonde girl pondered, "It's just that Sister Lantern has been missing for a few days, but in the end everyone has returned." β
"It's not called 'nothing.'"
Margaret opened her mouth to correct: "What is the situation with the disappearance of the lantern?" What did she do? β
"I don't know."
The blonde girl shook her head blankly: "She only said that she got lost in the lair of the remnant beast, delayed for a few days, and came out after defeating the remnant beast." β
"Lair? There is a chrysalis on Bai'an's side? β
"Probably?" The blonde girl holds her cheeks.
"Probably?" Margaret confirms with her.
"Probably." The blonde girl nodded again.
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, being confused and reckless is also the cute side. β
After a little helpless silence for a while, Margaret smiled: "It's wrong for me to try to ask you what is wrong, let's wait for the lantern to come back." β
"How do I feel like I'm suddenly being looked down upon?"
"Nope."
"I don't know anything! Isn't it just the days when Sister Dengzhan disappeared! Someone from the kingdom has arrived! β
In order to prove that she was not useless, the blonde girl struggled to think, "What position is it...... Patrol Envoy? β
"Patrol Envoy? Ah, big shots. β
Margaret touched the tips of her hair with interest: "It seems that what happened is quite serious, which patrol envoy is it?" β
"Which one...... Seems to be called a kingfisher? β
"I've never heard of a patrol with this code name."
"That's Sister Yuanxiang, don't you know." She didn't want her answer to be denied, so the blonde girl insisted: "Anyway, everyone has come to help, and it won't be a fake." β
"You've misremembered the name, kingfisher, kingfisher, a patrol with a similar name......"
Reading the code name said by the blonde girl, Margaret's leisurely expression gradually solidified on her face, she let go of the hand holding the end of her hair, looked at the blonde girl, and slowly spoke:
"Delphinium?"
"-Ah, yes! Delphinium! β
The blonde girl slapped the counter: "That's the codename!" That's right! β
"Are you sure it's called Delphinch? What does it look like? β
"It's just a kid shorter than me."
The blonde girl said, "Her hair and clothes are blue, and she wears a big hat on her head...... Hey, Sister Yuanxiang? Why are you laughing so horrible? β
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a rare bright smile on Margaret's face, and the pair of deep red eyes seemed to flicker with tracer.
"Hmph, Wood Lily." I don't know why the mood has become very good, Margaret smiled and spoke, calling the code name of the girl in front of her: "I suddenly thought of something. β
ββ¦β¦ It doesn't feel like a good thing. β
"How so? It's rare that I'm in a good mood, and I want to say, do you plan to go to another city? β
"Where?" Wood Lily was slightly interested.
Then she saw Margaret open her mouth and softly spit out a place name:
- "For example, Fangting City? β
