Akara and the others' trip took longer than expected. More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and they were finally coming back.
The boss and second eldest brother of the alliance returned, so we naturally lined up to welcome them. After waiting for about a meal at the teleportation platform, we began to see several white lights flashing through the teleportation array, and familiar faces appeared from inside. return.
"Grandma Akara." We stepped forward to greet her.
"You've been waiting for a long time. Thank you for your hard work." This trip to the second world seemed to have gained a lot, as you can tell by looking at Akara's grin from ear to ear.
"It's you who have done the hard work." After greeting me, my eyes moved around restlessly, constantly glancing behind Akara, naturally wanting to see the twin princesses as soon as possible.
Xilusi Aikelu was nowhere to be seen, but Raphael and Sa Qili appeared together from the teleportation array. These enemies and friends did not forget to fight even during the teleportation process.
"Hey, I'm talking about Sa Qili, you can't tell me." Raphael unreasonably leaned on Sa Qili's shoulder, showing a teasing smile, and kept trying to poke her face with his fingers.
"It's so annoying. How many times do you have to tell me that I have other things to do when I go to the second world." Sa Qili impatiently moved the fingers in front of her eyes, and then pulled away the hand lying on her shoulder.
"Really? I don't remember what happened to you in the second world." The princess of Baizu was ruthlessly rejected.
"You sound like you know me very well. Maybe I have an old lover in the second world." Sa Qili sneered, flipping up her hair from her ears and temples in a coquettish way, pretending that she had a boyfriend.
"How come I haven't heard of it?" Raphael looked suspicious, obviously not believing it.
"The so-called lover means that no one knows about it. If everyone knew about it, it wouldn't be called a lover."
No, no, that’s not what lovers mean. Aunt Qili, you must have confused it with sex. I covered my forehead and couldn't bear to witness it. In just a few words. This completely exposed Sa Qili's ignorance in love.
"Could it be that... it's true?" Raphael pretended to be shocked.
"Of course, unlike you, a wretch who has even forgotten her husband, my life is rich in experience in all aspects and meanings." Sa Qili's voice and behavior were obviously stiff. Even though he knew that his leather was about to burst, he could only hold on bravely.
As the saying goes, I have to tell all my lies even on my knees. Seeing Sa Qili’s wavering eyes and panicked guilty expression, I feel sorry for her. Enough is enough. Don’t hold on any longer. Aunt Qili, we will start from next year. Isn’t it enough to start finding a blind date for you every day?
His eyes fell behind the two camp witches again. Finally, the twin princesses appeared, followed closely behind them was the conscientious angel princess Aiwaer.
"Daddy, daddy." The two princesses started to look around as soon as they came out of the teleportation array, as if they guessed that I would come to greet them (in fact, they didn't even have to guess), and they immediately locked onto my figure and gave me a sweet swoop. Come here and hug each other.
"My princesses, welcome back." He hugged the twin princesses, kissed them, and touched their heads. I smiled from ear to ear, and my hanging heart finally let go.
"It's a bit strange, isn't it, Syrus."
"Yeah. It feels a little weird."
"What's wrong?"
"We have always been the ones to welcome dad back. It's rare to hear dad say this." The two princesses said in unison.
So that’s it, I smiled, and the big hand that touched their heads became more gentle and lonely: “You two have grown up and are about to start walking your own path. You may still hear this kind of words often in the future. "
"Maybe so." The eyes of the twin princesses were also slightly lonely. But it soon became firm.
"But we believe that the fear is only temporary. We will work hard until one day we can stand behind dad and fight side by side. Then we will never have to hear dad say welcome back."
"Yes, we are coming back with dad."
"You two...are really my good babies." I was very moved when I heard this. Although I didn't have much hope, it would be great if there would be such a day, and the family would never have to be separated.
After comforting the princesses who had just returned, I nodded to Aiwa'er and smiled gratefully.
"I'm troubling you again this time, Aiwa'er."
"It's okay. Anyway, I accept the mission of the clan now. I am your collaborator as the Demon King. As long as the mission is not against morality, there is no problem. Besides, I am also very happy to protect Silos and Ecolu."
Ai Wa'er rarely said a long word, and then turned her head away as if she was slightly embarrassed.
"Dad, sister Aiwa'er taught us a lot of fighting skills and experience in the second world."
"That's right, that's right. She taught us a lot. Sister Aiwa'er is so amazing."
"Xilusi, Aikolu, stop talking. Compared with your father, I am nothing worth mentioning." Aiwa'er was thin-skinned and felt embarrassed by the praise, so she quickly stopped her.
"No, no, no, when it comes to teaching them, you are better at teaching them. My teachings are not very suitable for Your Highness the Princess, right? Please remember to respect and thank your teacher Aiwa'er in the future."
"Yes~~~" The twin princesses accepted the order and happily rushed towards Aiwa'er and hugged her. This made our angel princess feel more and more embarrassed, but she couldn't help but be happy, so she could only keep a straight face. He stroked the twin princesses' heads, showing a helpless and doting expression.
This sexy angel princess seems to be unexpectedly simple and easy to satisfy?
"Xiao Xiao Wu, have you forgotten me?" Seeing me busy talking to my daughters, Raphael suddenly came over, folding his arms and planning to act coquettishly.
"No, how could it be? It's just that there is someone who misses you more than me." I turned Raphael around half a circle without leaving any trace, and pushed her towards Linya behind me.
"Ah...Brother Wu, it's true, grandma, she has been gone for so long. She didn't even write a letter home, so everyone is worried."
Linya subconsciously caught Raphael, and the two granddaughters, who were 80% alike, hugged each other. It was as pleasing to the eye as a pair of sisters. You look at the people around you who are stunned.
"Oh, I've only been away for ten days. We were separated for decades. Could it be that...my little Linya already feels lonely?" Raphael's witch attribute took over and he immediately started teasing her. Her sweet granddaughter is here. Upon seeing this, I quickly moved out of the way and let Linya deal with her.
"Brother, where have those guys gone?" Sa Qili walked over and asked.
"Oh, they went to the Third World a few days ago and stayed there for several days. When they came back, they saw that you hadn't come back yet, so they went back to the Holy See Mountain."
"Well, I guess that's the case." Sa Qili nodded as expected.
"Aunt Qili, what are your plans?"
"Me? The family matter has been settled. I have nothing to miss anymore. I am very satisfied to be able to come back in my lifetime." As she said that, Sa Qili glanced at Raphael and showed a bright and happy smile.
Sa Qili's family affairs, if not complicated, are complicated. After all, they involve something as inexplicable as human nature, but whether they are complicated or not depends on who is going to solve it.
On the third day after she told us. Raphael personally went to Sa Qili's hometown, and with the incomparable charm of the princess of hundreds of tribes, he easily conquered the whole village and persuaded them to move. The family village was re-established less than ten miles away from Rogge's camp.
At this point, the selfish resentment of Sa Qili's tribe towards Sa Qili has also dissipated a lot with the relocation, and they can finally calm down and think. The more they think about it, the more they feel that Sa Qili should not be blamed like this. Although there are still some knots and grudges, I think everything will get better as time goes by.
At this point, Sa Qili's last regret was finally resolved. It was all thanks to Raphael that it went so smoothly. Anyone else, including Akara, would not have had such a good effect. In this world, I am afraid that Only Raphael can accomplish this kind of mission with 100% perfection.
Therefore, it is impossible for Sa Qili not to be grateful in her heart, but if she had to say it herself, the eldest sister-witch who is sometimes mature and generous, sexy and cheerful, and sometimes simple and tough-tongued has no choice but to express it in other ways, such as This time I went to cheer for you secretly.
In this regard, I really want to say that you two should just go and get your marriage certificate.
"The same goes for me. I'll use the positioning scroll to go to the third world first. Once I can go back and forth freely, I'll go back to the Holy See Mountain. I can't keep my teammates waiting for too long."
Sa Qili's answer was not beyond my expectation: "Well, then I'll wait for you to come back, and then we'll go back together."
"You? Brother, won't you stay in the camp for a little longer?" Sa Qili looked at me in confusion.
"We only have one month to return to the camp. We have to wait at least two more months for the Holy See Mountain to be transformed. Even if you are in a hurry to sweep Hell Mountain, you can still stay here for one more month and wait for the last month. It’s not too late to act, the Demon King’s army also needs more time to become proficient in the combat environment of the hell world.”
"That's what happened. Theoretically, we can stay in hiding with the girls for another month." I turned around and glanced at Linya and the others tenderly, but I shook my head.
"Forget it, if you want to come back anyway, you can come back to see them at any time. While you are working hard, I, the devil, can't be too lazy."
"Well, let's go and set off when the time comes, but don't forget to bring Xiao Heitan." Seeing that I had made up my mind, Sa Qili nodded without saying anything more.
"Wu, I'm very happy that you have such a sense of responsibility." Akara interjected from the side.
"Grandma Akara, don't praise me too early. Maybe I'll go for a spin and come back in a few days. Don't be angry then." I smiled cheekily.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I believe in you. You are now a mature savior. You know how to take the next step. You no longer need me to point out every step for you."
"Eh? This is so troublesome. You should continue to guide me." As soon as I heard that I had to use my own brain in the future, I cried out that I was tired. This was not fair. I had obviously done the hard work, and now you actually said You still want me to do mental work?
"Look at you kid." Akara shook his head with a wry smile and tapped me with his cane.
"Don't worry, don't you still have an outstanding girl by your side? I plan to let Linya go with you, how about it?"
"so fast?"
I was surprised. Although Akara had already told Linya to go to the Holy See Mountain and help me take care of all the affairs in the Holy See Mountain, I definitely couldn’t do it. Little Ghost, an idiot saint, not to mention the issue of ability, she definitely Not willing to do it. Although Sa Qili is very capable, she is also an excellent and powerful adventurer. It is impossible for her to handle internal affairs independently, so sending another manager from the alliance is the most suitable choice, and Linya is The most suitable candidate.
In fact, Kane can do it. In terms of management ability, he is stronger than Linya and has more experience. However, he is older, and it is a bit unbearable to ask him to move to the hell world. The most important thing is that old man Farah is also in the Holy See Mountain now. , when the two of them met, it was like lighting a powder keg?
However, I thought that Linya would not set off until the renovation of the Holy See Mountain was completed, but I didn’t expect that Akara would let her go now.
"Well, not only Linya, I also plan to go."
"Grandma Akara, are you?" I raised my voice even higher, and even Kane, her old partner for many years, looked at me in surprise.
"Yes, don't you say you are not welcome?" Akara smiled.
"No, how could it be? It's just that the world teleportation to hell is not very stable right now, and it's a bit heavy on the body. I'm worried about Grandma Akara... is it better to go later when the world teleportation is optimized? ?”
"I can't wait for that time. I have always cared about it and wanted to take a look as soon as possible. It doesn't matter. My old bones can still bear it. Do you think I will force myself to do something I am not sure about?"
"No... okay, if you confirm it, Grandma Akara." I wanted to give some advice, but when I saw Akara's firm eyes, I knew she would not change her mind.
What Akara said he couldn't wait to see was probably the forbidden experiment in the Holy See Mountain, the Artificial Saint Project. Because the matter was so important, I only told Akara, not even Kane and the girls. Don’t mention it.
However, seeing Kane's relieved expression quickly, I think Akara must have told him about this.
"Let me go too." Sure enough, Kane thought for a while and then stood up. As a scholar, he has almost as much interest in that period of history and that taboo plan as the mage. It is impossible Just miss this opportunity.
"Is your health okay?" Akara had expected this and asked with a smile.
"Even old man Farana can do it, so I'll have no problem with it." Kane played with the crutch in his hand and smiled confidently.
This confident smile reminded me of the scene where he transformed a crutch into a stick and fought Farah. His skills were no less than those of a young adult.
Grandpa Kane, if nothing unexpected happens, he can probably live to be 200 years old, right? I wiped off a cold sweat. I really felt that the entire elders of the alliance were weird. Ah, it seemed like I was being scolded as well?
