Chapter 124

But she is always like this to everyone, and Yaxiu doesn't plan to say anything. After all, it's been so many years. If he can change, this guy would have changed long ago.

"... I will probably be away for a while this time. See you next time. It's either life or death. Take care of yourself, Celia."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What else can it be except life and death?"

"Just a joke to ease the atmosphere."

"Boring." Celia turned her face away, looking like she was too lazy to talk to him, which made him shake his head: "... Because of your attitude, your disciples are not close to you."

"About this, I have said you before, your behavior of not paying attention to keeping distance will cause trouble for both parties, whether it is your foster Women or others, they will die in a blink of an eye, and what about you? "

"I don't want to be told that you, who is still guarding the flower fields, didn't you praise her when Volame was still alive?"

"....What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly, how about saying it again?"

"I mean... follow the master's teachings."

........

Although they are at least thousands of years old, most of the elves have the same personality as their height. Even Fulilian said that Celia's personality is like that of a child... Although she is similar.

But the child-like personality directly caused Celia to still be in a bad mood now.

Of course, she will not make trouble with Philen. She just showed reluctance before, but she will still keep her promise for the time being. But when she saw Ash coming back, she was like finding It was like a place to vent.

This led to the fact that Ash and her couldn't communicate well at all. After being scolded, he didn't tolerate her and subconsciously stabbed her back. Then...

Before she lost her temper, Ash left a few good words and turned around and left the Magic Association.

..............................

On the way home, Ash met Fulilian and Fern, who were on their way to buy some souvenirs. His appearance made them buy a lot of desserts by the way, and then they went to Rabinie's house together.

Of course, they used Ash's wallet in the process, but nominally they were sent together... After all, Ash had promised Fulilian a bunch of desserts before.

When they came to Rabinie's house, which was closer to them, they almost After the guard at the door gave their names, they were immediately greeted by the smiling face of the silver-haired girl:

"Welcome everyone~! Um... except Ash."

"... Why?"

"You lied and hurt Flyllian before... Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Although she was dressed in a lady's dress, Rabinie had one hand on her waist and looked aggressive.

If it were usual, Ash might have argued with her, but now he just reached out and patted Rabinie on the head:

"It was indeed my fault... Believe me, I am seriously reflecting on it."

"... That's good."

This sudden frank admission of fault caught Rabinie off guard, and she nodded subconsciously, so she couldn't say anything to him.

Following Yasuo, I left for a while, and called Si Kangnie to come with me.

Then... under Kangnie's guidance, I came to the boudoir of Rabinie.

Compared with Zanze, Rabinie, who has a carefree personality, didn't care too much about men entering the room, and even whispered a thank you to him while biting a biscuit.

Although he turned his face away stiffly after thanking him, it was obvious that he wanted to use this method to apologize for his bad attitude when he came here just now... Maybe he learned from Philen and the others the purpose of their coming here during his absence.

"What's wrong with Rabinie? She is so nice to uncle?" Kangnie carefully observed his childhood friend, and couldn't help whispering beside Yasuo.

"Don't care about this, otherwise you will fight again later." Yasuo shook his head and laughed, and touched her head.

Connie didn't resist, but smiled happily, curiously: "Is today a good day? Forget about Philen and Fulilian, but uncle is here to play too?"

"Nothing, just... I came to say goodbye to you, and then we should go to the capital, and then to the imperial capital."

"Huh? Ah... Is that so, well... Calculating the time, it's almost time for you to leave..."

Connie, who knew they were traveling, was prepared for the separation, but it seemed a little lonely to be separated so soon.

At this time, Rabinie seemed to mention it casually, and asked: "Then when will you come back next time? After all, this is your home, right? You won't wait for another 10 years, right?"

"It's hard to say... But I will definitely come back in three years. After all, I promised to help Connie pass the exam." Ash smiled and turned his attention to the dejected girl again: "If you work hard in these three years, you may not even need my help to pass."

"Of course I will work hard... No, but! Even so, uncle must come and witness my growth! Ah, if possible, three years is a long time, or... I will also take the second-level exam next year trip?"

While talking, Kang Ni quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes, raised her head and cast a pitiful look at him. That inexplicably pitiful and cute look made him unable to refuse and could only nod.

Just like this, an innocent smile suddenly bloomed on Kang Ni's face again.

............................

............................

In this afternoon, gently embraced by the sunset, the air is filled with a touch of separation and reluctance.

The group of people chatted in the bedroom, and occasionally went to the courtyard. They looked here and there, and even said hello to Rabine's parents and brother.

Even after that, under Kang Ni's invitation, they went to Kang Ni's home together.

Kang Ni's parents, who loved him very much, had seen them before, and when they learned that they were leaving, they brought out a lot of refreshments.

Even Zan Ze appeared in the crowd unknowingly after Ya Xiu sent a message through the communication bird, still making tea quietly on the side.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, allowing the fragrance of tea to rise and intertwined with the afterglow of the setting sun, creating a warm and slightly sad atmosphere. However, she only occasionally joined people's conversations and spoke with a cold voice. Add a touch of color to this time that is about to end.

"...Lord Ash, I heard that it was your birthday a few days ago." Zanze, who quietly pulled him aside, took out a magic book from behind while speaking: "This is ....The birthday present I forgot yesterday.”

"This is... I have read all your magic books. Is this the one belonging to Celia?" He flipped through the books and showed a puzzled expression unconsciously, while Zanze just tilted his head and said silently. He also glanced elsewhere:

"I searched specifically for it in Sirie's library. This is a magic suitable for close combat, so I asked for it for a while... Sirie gave it to me."

"Yes...really? Thank you, Zanze." This is definitely not what is coming! ——Just by looking at Zan Ze’s appearance, Ya Xiu could roughly guess the truth of the matter.

Normally, you can borrow Celie's books, but you will definitely not give them away to prevent them from being lost and difficult to find. But if you really want them... and the other party is your disciple, you won't refuse them completely.

It's just that Zanze's character is not good at dealing with Seriai, and he can't be as stubborn as him. Ash, who understands this too well, is a little speechless, but he still can't help but persuade:

"Tell her honestly, she won't be angry...Although she has a bad personality, don't always think that she is really angry. In fact, she is not that easy to get angry, but...forget it, One day I will come back and I will definitely find a way to give you a birthday gift.”

"...One day?" Zanze seemed a little dissatisfied with his words and muttered in a low voice.

"....What's wrong?"

"We are human beings." The girl raised her head and stared at Ash intently, with a trace of unnoticeable sadness hidden in her eyes, and said slowly:

"And the time that humans have is limited. In our short lives, there is no such 'someday' as you and Lady Seriai have."

"....You are already so enlightened at your age?"

"This is what Laerne said with emotion when Lady Celie said this."

"...That's quite in line with his age and his sad personality."

Not knowing whether to use a suitable expression or not, Ya Xiu had mixed feelings in his heart. He smiled in distress and gently rubbed Zanze's head, but didn't say anything more.

The setting sun gradually sets in the west, dyeing the sky with gorgeous sunset glow.

At this time, Kang Ni's home was brightly lit, but there was stillness and loneliness in the air.

The guests either bowed their heads in deep thought or looked at each other, with reluctance and nostalgia shining in their eyes.

But after all, it was time to say goodbye. After a short dinner at Kang Ni's house, everyone left the table one by one, allowing the house to return to its former tranquility, leaving only the empty tables and chairs and the unfinished food. The lingering fragrance and a touch of sadness.

And the Japanese bustle and loneliness that followed have also disappeared (each of the seven people), and the memory of their father's lingering love is unforgettable in their hearts.

............................

Time passed, and the morning of the next day came quietly.

Fuli {Lian Ling was dragged up by Zaowei Meng, (although she didn't wake up from her sleep), Yajiu Xiu and the man carrying the flag of the Underworld were whining like leeches, and Scar was suspended in the air with magic.

Fearon shuttled through the rooms making final arrangements, checking each room to see if there was anything he had forgotten, or if there were any doors or windows that he had forgotten to close.

"...The keys have been given to Rabine, Kangne ​​and Zanze. If there is really any problem, they will notice if they come here to play occasionally. Let's go quickly."

In the courtyard, other people were arranged. Ash, who later came to help pick up the stone carvings, couldn't help but urge him when he saw Fei Lun's busy figure.

This made Philan hesitate for a moment, and then he finally gave up on the repeated sorting and inspection, and silently followed his pace out of the courtyard.

But before finally locking the door, she still looked around at the scene full of memories.

The surroundings were familiar and friendly, and every leaf and every breeze made her feel reluctant to leave.

"If... after returning from the capital, you don't have any particular place you want to go, you can settle here later."

"What about Lord Ash? Will you come back and settle here?"

"... If possible, I hope so."

Unable to give a definite answer, Ash just silently cast his eyes into the distance.

The eyes looking into the distance were as deep and peaceful as the night sky, and seemed to be hiding something, which made Philen, who was always looking at him, a little concerned, but...

She finally said nothing, silently closed the gate of the courtyard, confirmed that it was locked, and followed Ash, who floated up Fulilian, and walked out of the city together.

In the cold wind in the early morning, with a little sense of parting, Philen walked very slowly, as if she was reluctant to leave, and looked back at that home from time to time.

But as long as you take a step, you will reach your destination one day....At a time when Fulilian could hardly get up, the three people who went out early naturally did not meet familiar people.

It is better to leave this country quietly, which is also what Ash said....Although Philen felt a little bad, even though they had gathered last night.

With a little regret, he thought that he could avoid the sadness of separation by leaving like this, but...

When they came to the long stone bridge outside the city gate, they still saw familiar people.

"....Really, I knew you would leave without saying a word." Rabinie looked unhappy, and glanced at Fulilian floating in the air, and then stared at Ash without thinking, and said angrily: "-Your idea?"

"....Although it is so, but..."

"I knew Philen would not do this! Sure enough, you are a heartless uncle!" Without waiting for him to explain more, Connie angrily imitated Rabinie's previous behavior and stepped on his instep.

"Yes! That's it! Connie! Don't be polite to such a heartless uncle!" Rabinie not only did not stop him, but also stepped on the other foot angrily.

"Firen...Aren't you going to say something for me?" He was unable to move for a moment, and although he didn't feel any pain, he still looked at Philen with a bitter face.

"A cold person like Lord Ash...should be punished like this." Philen's face was unexpectedly happy.

And Zanze said nothing, just stood aside with his head slightly tilted, just watching him with a smile.

This farewell was not too sad.

They just said hello and agreed to see each other next time.

But Connie and Rabinie were quite surprised....quietly handed him a birthday present when no one was paying attention.

Zanze didn't say it until the end with an inexplicable smile, "See you in the Empire"...as if he had received a similar task.

Finally, as their conversation gradually came to an end, a group of people stood on the long stone bridge and waved goodbye to each other.

With the blessings of the three people, they gradually disappeared on the long stone bridge under their gaze.

..............................

..............................

After leaving the Magic City, they did not go directly north, but chose to go to the east to go to the capital.

When Fulilian woke up along the way, she was shocked by her situation when she opened her eyes.

After all, sleeping in bed, suddenly waking up in the wilderness, and floating in the air, this would be a shock to anyone.

After learning what happened, Fulilian was angry with Ash again, blaming him for dragging her away while she was asleep, not even being able to see her for the last time, and even not talking to him for the next three days, which made Ash quite helpless.

However, after riding the carriage and walking for a while, it took about half a month, and they arrived at the capital of the kingdom.

After all, the two countries have already gone to war. Fulilian is eager to talk to the high-level officials of the kingdom. She has no time to ask for commissions or anything. She is in a hurry.

"Wow... so awesome..."

When she stepped into the royal city and walked on the streets of the royal city, there was an incredible light in Philen's eyes, as if the unknown world was slowly opening up for her at this moment.

Not only are there three layers of barriers outside the city, but the gates carved with complex and exquisite patterns are also made of unknown metals, and the surface flows with a faint fluorescent light of magic, which is both solid and mysterious.

The central square is crowded with people, and the tall buildings and streets are lined with shops, from exquisite magic props shops to fragrant pastry shops, to markets selling exotic animals, or magic libraries with rich collections of books, everything is available.

The Royal Capital Guards were meticulously marching through the streets and alleys of the city. Merchants were smiling and enthusiastically soliciting customers. From time to time, you could see groups of children chasing and playing on the streets. There were even many people performing magic or manipulating puppets on the roadside.

The most exaggerated thing was the large number of autonomous golems, who were engaged in carrying and guarding in the crowd.

All of this, which is completely unseen in other cities or even other capitals, made Ferren, who couldn't help but marvel when he first entered the kingdom, unconsciously pull the corner of Ash's clothes again: "Sure enough, the king here is a very wise monarch, right?"

"...It should be. After all, at least in this capital, the degree of magic involved in life is even higher than that of the empire." Fulilian observed the autonomous golem of the goods and couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "It's only been more than 80 years, and the changes in this country are really... so fast that it's a bit weird."
