Chapter 425: Reunion
After entering the city, Janet received a 5 gold escort fee from the leader of the caravan and walked straight in the direction of the castle. Myr City was very different from when she left, but it still gave her the same feeling in her heart: always busy and full of energy. She saw so many new things, and she was overwhelmed with magical items, as if overnight this place had become a mage's paradise.
On the way from the town gate to the castle for more than ten miles, she saw at least thirty people wearing mage robes. She didn't know that many of them were just apprentices of the Academy, and she thought they were all official mages of the Federation.
There were always six guards standing in front of the castle's gates, and a team of ten men patrolling the perimeter of the city walls, ready to lower the gates and ring the alarm. Janet knew that there would always be gas rune guards in that inconspicuous little warehouse around the corner, and they would come out when they heard the alarm to help defend the castle entrance.
None of the guards were equipped with Plasma Crossbows, but the guards hidden in the towers were heavily armed. Although the gates had never been attacked, and Siegel believed that the magic circle hidden in the territory would solve any crisis, Janet still arranged her defenses in this way. In her opinion, this was an intuitive way to show power to other lords, and on the other hand, it was the best defense system for Assassins in her opinion, but after training in the Temple of Murder, she didn't think of it that way now.
"Hey, woman, what is the matter with you entering the castle?" a captain with a feather in his pointed helmet stopped Janet with his spear on the ground.
I'm the hostess here, and Janet would love to say that. But her appearance is completely different from what she used to be. No one knew that this new body contained an old soul. "I want to go to Pastor Rhett to pray. Bless my family with eternal peace and joy. ”
"Then you go in. But remember not to leave the area around the temple enclosed with stones, and beware of being shot out of the hole by the guards!" The captain of the gate laughed and frightened her, then waved her in.
Janet took a deep breath and walked under the gate hole covered in dwarven runes. She could feel the wary gaze in the murder hole overhead, which was blocked by an iron fence and used to dump hot asphalt or oil. Train in the temple of the god of murder so that she can feel the emotions and atmosphere around her. The inhabitants of the city were overjoyed, but why were the soldiers so nervous?
Despite the deliberate muffling of her voice, the Gatekeeper's words reached her keen ears. "I've never seen this woman. Her accent was deliberately made of Myr's. Go and keep an eye on Hutch so that she doesn't lose sight. ”
Janet knew Hatch, a young servant in the castle who always wished to be a knight himself, but had no talent for sword wielding. Usually he is in charge of the kitchen chores, but prefers to help the guards run errands.
Red's temple was still the same, the stone house was crooked, but surprisingly sturdy. There is still no emblem of the gods on the arch.
The loose wooden door was open, and Red stepped out with a jug of water, ready to water the flowers he had planted. He saw Janet. Suddenly stopped, and then his eyes widened.
"Yes...... Is it Janet?"
Janet's own surprise was definitely greater than Red's. Being directly recognized was never in her imagination.
"Erdu, go find Manna or the raven Baron, and call the lord. Red explained to the mound behind him, and then Janet saw that there was no symmetry in her body, and then staggered out, swaying towards the castle.
"At this time, you can only contact the lord if you find Balon, you can sit down first. Red looked Janet up and down: "Your soul power has become stronger, but it is still not well integrated with your current body, it seems that something is wrong, you have to come to me often." But if only you can come back safely, Siegel has been waiting for you. ”
Janet let herself smile and replied, "Has he been waiting for me?"
"Yes. As far as I know...... Forget it, there are some things that shouldn't be left to me. You must know that ever since he knew that the Elven Forest was attacked by the believers of the murdered god, Lord Siegel began to search everywhere for traces of the believers. The entire New World has been swept away from the stronghold of the God of Murder, who has tried time and time again to find you among his enemies. ”
"That fool, how dangerous!" Janet was in the Old World, and she knew about the New World. The priests who had withdrawn from the town of Cabe described to her the before and after of the attack on the stronghold, and Janet easily confirmed Siegel's style. And as Siegel eliminated the top-ranked Assassins again and again, her number continued to rise.
"Has he been okay?" said Janet, who thought the question was stupid, but couldn't help but ask.
"It will be better after meeting you. Red smiled and sat on the ground. He had no chairs in the temple, and he sat on the ground as tall as others sat on chairs.
Siegel wasn't in the castle at this time, and he was busy with the Federation's mages, instructing them on the crafting of Myr's Cores and advising on the Federation's ships. The defense of the ship is mainly handled by the protective mages, who are eager to make the ship into a turtle shell, leaving no gaps. But in Siegel's mind, the ship's more important mission was to attack, to kill more enemies, so that he could contribute to the safety of Heim's Territory - without this, he wouldn't have bothered to build a ship at all.
Wendy and Siegel are at loggerheads, and she's reluctant to give up too much space for the circle, believing that it will undermine the overall effect of the defensive circle. "With the elemental summoning power of the Mir Energy Core, relying on the air elemental army can handle most of the situations, and there is no need to continue to add so many spell staff and activation circles. ”
From a purely magical point of view, Wendy was right, her approach was better than Siegel had envisioned, both in terms of making the most of the energy and maximizing the efficiency of the circle. An optimisable solution is not a winning solution, and Siegel still stands by his opinion. If it were someone else, Wendy wouldn't have mustered up the courage to argue with her reasoning, but she wouldn't be nervous in front of Siegel anymore, after she confessed. There was no power left to make her distracted and helpless. Strong. I'm going to be strong!, Wendy kept pushing herself on. She had heard that Janet was like that.
Siegel has a headache and doesn't know how to reason with Wendy. At this time, he felt a message from the demon pet, and the second mout said that the golem Red had something important to ask him for.
Hopefully, not a new prophecy of catastrophe. The Heim Territory has escaped the threat of water pollution and plague, but the exploding ground and the volcano have yet to appear. Siegel jerked to his feet, nodded goodbye to Wendy, and teleported himself back to Myr Castle.
The female mage was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Siegel leave suddenly like this, a feeling of fear suddenly came to her. Caught her. He didn't even say goodbye! What a fool I'm a fool, stupid!
Janet sat in front of Rhett with a cup of fragrant tea in her hand. She stared at the swaying tea, letting the curling aroma steam on her face. She could see her face in the cup: dark brown hair, a freckled face, a slender nose and thin lips, like a thin girl who had missed her development. Only these eyes can satisfy Janet, and the brown eyes are like a light-colored ocean, which will flow in the heart of the eyes from time to time.
She wasn't sure if Siegel would like the look, during the time she spent with her husband. Siegel had something to do with her, but she had never asked for a face like this. If you don't look at the eyes. This face is very ordinary, coupled with a short and slender body and big hands and feet after training, like an ordinary fisherman girl who works all day.
Siegel teleported into the courtyard and walked straight to Red's stone temple. As soon as he saw the woman staring at the teacup, he chuckled in his heart, and an indescribable sense of familiarity came over him. He slowed down, squinting his eyes to take a closer look, using all of his magical powers between his eyes.
The spell flowed, the light flickered, and he saw everything clearly, but he was hazy with tears.
"Who is this?" he asked himself, and then he decided. "Janet, is that you?"
Janet woke up suddenly, and stood up sharply, tears in her eyes. "It's me, I'm back!" she burst into tears.
Siegel dropped his staff and ran over quickly, holding her tightly in his arms. The soldiers and knights in the castle watched in amazement and opened their mouths wide.
"You're still alive, I know, I know!" Siegel lifted Janet up and spun her around twice in the air, making her burst into tears and laugh. "Let me see how your soul and bloodline are doing, reincarnation ......"
He placed his hand on Janet's chest, and the glow of magic penetrated her body and deep into her veins. The reincarnation technique worked, and now there was no trace of the Demon Descendant, and her soul fire was still burning as before, familiar and warm. This is Janet, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It's a pity that she was not reincarnated as an elf or half-elf as she wished, but because of an accident, she could only live in this human body, which invisibly reduced her lifespan a lot. But what's the use of not being able to stay with your lover no matter how long you live?
But now is not the time to talk about these things, and Siegel just wants to talk to Janet. He put away the spell, clenched his fists, and said excitedly, "The dream has come true, you know what, the dream has come true!"
"Don't get too excited, Siegel, I'm not going to disappear all of a sudden, and I'm not going to be a monster out of control. Janet gently stroked Siegel's cheek and said with a tear-stained smile, "Can you take me to see Isaac first, I really miss me!"
"Yes, I'll take you there!" Siegel noticed a golem sitting beside him. "Thank you Red, you bring me the best news in the world!"
"Bless you, finally together again. ”
Siegel used his mind to communicate with the space lock circle, and then with a wave of his hand, he teleported directly to Isaac's bedroom with Janet. He pushed the door open, and his son was napping in bed. His hands were spread out over the thin quilt, his eyelashes fluttering slightly over his closed eyes, and there were traces of saliva on the sides of his mouth. The minion golem and the water elemental rune guard saw that it was Siegel entering, but they still maintained a protective posture and did not make a sound at all.
Janet knelt beside the bed, grabbing her son's little hand with one hand and gently stroking his hair with the other. She whimpered, her eyes blurred, and tears struggled to flow out of her sockets, flowing uncontrollably like beads of broken thread.
Siegel gently stroked his wife's shoulders and back to help soothe her.
In the courtyard of the castle, Red saw the defensive staff that Siegel had forgotten on the ground, shook his head and walked over to pick it up. Then his body stiffened, and he looked at the staff with incredible eyes. (To be continued.) )
