The next morning.
"So,"
"That's how it is."
In the Landri Professor's mansion, hundreds of crystal chandeliers on the high ceiling of the guest dining room refracted dazzling light, and the mirror-like marble floor reflected the shadows of several people on both sides of the dining table.
They were sitting at the dining table, waiting for Cat Boss to prepare breakfast, and talking about what had happened in the past few months.
With the mansion's doors tightly closed, the world seemed to quiet down, even the pattering morning rain and the sound of the stream outside the courtyard became much softer.
After several tens of minutes of review.
"I tried to make Miss Unity believe that I was one of them. Talia saw it all, but for some reason, she just didn't believe me and treated me as an imperial person. So I had no choice but to simply act as an imperial person and cooperate with her, which also perfectly integrated me into the Empire's Special Operations Division. Then came the scene of you assassinating me last night."
Lanqi sat at the dining table and recounted to the four Great Demons the key turning points from Huadu to his arrival in the Krei Empire.
"Mmm, mmm."
The guest dining room was filled with the aroma of fireside marshmallows, white peppermint lattes, and hot cocoa with cream.
Antanas and Xinora held mugs in their hands, sipping as they listened to Lanqi's story.
Almis and Prana seemed much calmer, listening quietly.
"As expected, it has to be you."
Prana was still in awe of Lanqi's impersonation skills.
Just like back in the Protos Empire of the Northern Continent, no one had ever suspected that Rocky McCarthy was an outsider, but instead regarded him as the leader to realize the New Empire dream.
"I have a question."
Antanas raised her hand.
"Ask."
Lanqi gestured for her to ask.
"Why is Ifatia here?"
Antanas looked at the drowsy little cutie beside Lanqi.
She still found it somewhat magical that Lanqi had actually helped Hibelian find her mother.
This efficiency was a bit incredible.
Originally, bringing their three demon realm old friends back from the Northern Continent for Talia had already showcased Lanqi's exaggerated ability to find people. Now, after repeated verification, Antanas felt it was getting more and more outrageous.
Now, all that was left was to help Hibelian find her father, Duke Mi Gaia, and Lanqi's main quest would be over.
"Miss Ifatia, she has actually been hiding deep beneath the Brilda Mafia, waiting for the moment to strike back against the Blood Clan. Our goal is also to dig out the Blood Clan hidden in the Krei Empire, so we encountered each other due to an accident."
Lanqi added the honorifics he always used after saying Ifatia's name.
After spending so much time with Ifatia, he had gradually started calling her by her given name directly.
"Then, when you met, you didn't fight?"
Antanas asked nervously.
She knew Ifatia's personality well.
Although Ifatia seemed harmless to her fellow demons.
She was extremely ruthless to her enemies.
If she inexplicably ran into Ifatia and didn't gain her trust, she would probably start fighting without saying a word.
"It's... it was a misunderstanding. Lanqi found me with Talia-jie, so we exchanged a few blows and recognized each other as allies."
Ifatia was trying hard to change her way of speaking, but she still subconsciously wanted to call Lanqi *gege* (older brother).
"Cough, it was fortunate that Talia was with me that day, otherwise I might have really been captured," Lanqi said with a cough, feeling a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, Ifatia didn't call him out, otherwise it would have been awkward in front of the other familiar demons.
Ifatia must have gained a clear understanding of the current interpersonal relationships in Ikerite from Almis.
"I see."
Xinora and Antanas both nodded in understanding.
"It's a good thing Talia was with you, otherwise Ifatia might have really tied you to the operating table and experimented on you," Almis said with emotion.
Talia was indeed the most dignified and useful princess of the demon realm, crucial at all times.
"Yes, that's right," Ifatia echoed, feeling extremely complicated.
"Ifatia, don't panic, it's not a big deal. We almost attacked Lanqi too back then. He won't mind," Antanas naturally thought that Ifatia's unnatural expression was because she was embarrassed about the encounter with Lanqi that day.
"Also, Hibelian is actually a good girl like an angel. We all like her the most. She only turned out that way yesterday because she used the blasphemous power of the ancient demon king Melogas. She doesn't even remember what happened at all, so you don't have to worry," Xinora told Ifatia about Hibelian.
As Hibelian's closest friend, Xinora was always protecting her.
"Don't worry, I told Ifatia this morning," the ice snow demon Almis added.
"Mmm, mmm," Ifatia nodded repeatedly, avoiding eye contact with her other old friends.
不许没收我的人籍第八百二十三章 兰奇的心意
Good news, her daughter hadn't turned bad.
The bad news was that her daughter and her older sister liked the same man. If Lanqi became her son-in-law, what would Hibelian think if she accidentally called Lanqi *gege* (older brother) in the future... But during this time, she had regarded Lanqi as an extremely reliable older brother figure. If she had to speak to her *gege* with the attitude of an elder, Ifatia couldn't bring herself to do it, and even calling Lanqi by his name felt very impolite. "Alright, let's skip this question for now," Lanqi clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. He noticed Ifatia's unease. "..." This made Ifatia even more unable to speak. Lanqi was still taking care of her feelings at this time. It made her want such an older brother even more. After a brief silence. "I have a question too," Xinora raised her hand as well. Cat Boss Restaurant's Krei Empire branch seemed to be officially open for business. All the old employees were gathered in the guest dining room. "Please ask," Lanqi gestured for Xinora to ask. "How did Sigrid get here?" Xinora asked Lanqi, puzzled. Even if Overlord Church Sigrid had finished her work in the Northern Continent and wanted to find Lanqi to play in the Southern Continent, she should have gone to the Ikerite Cat Boss Restaurant first. If that were the case, she would either have run into them or arrived later, but it was impossible for her to arrive at Lanqi's side before them and meet up with Lanqi, who was disguised in the Krei Empire, so quickly. After all, even they didn't know that Professor Landri was Lanqi, but Sigrid seemed to have obtained accurate coordinates. "This brings us to Yabo. You should be quite familiar with him, right?" Lanqi looked back towards the kitchen. "He's the one who directly opened a space teleportation magic and sent Sigrid to Brilda." This morning, Sigrid had rarely suggested wanting to help Cat Boss cook. Hibelian was still resting upstairs, and Talia was guarding her upstairs, so it became Cat Boss's turn to cook again. In addition, Cat Boss had seen its lovely employees again after several months, and heard that a new resident singer was coming, so it was overjoyed and insisted on cooking in person. As for Sigrid, she said on the surface that she was not familiar with Hibelian, but Lanqi knew that the Sigre in the Shadow World was Sigrid, and she must be concerned about Hibelian in her heart, but she didn't know how to get close to Hibelian, so she could only silently make some dietary breakfast for Hibelian. When Sigrid sends it up later, she definitely won't let Hibelian know that she made it. "Yabo? Are you talking about that Great Demon General of the surrender faction?" "He's also in the Krei Empire?" Antanas and Xinora heard the name Lanqi casually said and stood up in shock, putting down their mugs. "You'll know the situation when you call Yabo over later. He's still a dimension bishop, and his real name is Torriado," Lanqi nodded and used holy communication magic to contact Torriado. Only the certificate of bishop will reflect the real name. Lanqi also asked Dimension Saint Abigail to install a space barrier device in his mansion in the Krei Empire. If he wanted to use Torriado's space magic to connect the Brilda Opera House and his guest dining room, it wouldn't be difficult. He didn't have to worry about the eighth-order space magic being monitored and perceived by the God of War. "..." Prana's expression changed slightly when he heard Yabo's name. "I didn't expect Yabo to still be alive. He hasn't killed himself after all these years," he muttered to himself. "Are you two not on good terms?" Lanqi asked Prana, raising his eyes while waiting for the communication to connect. Prana didn't know how to describe his attitude towards Yabo. "Their relationship is actually quite good. Prana initially believed that the Demon Realm had a low chance of winning if they fought, and was regarded as being cowardly and shaking the morale of the army. Only Yabo was willing to believe him among the generals," the Ice Snow Demon Almis said about the old Demon Realm. "It's just that Yabo is too rash and *gege* (older brother) is too cautious, so sometimes *gege* is tricked by Yabo," Xinora said, spreading her hands. "I see," Lanqi could understand. When encountering dangerous things, Prana would probably hide as far as possible, while Torriado would get as close as possible. The two Great Demons were two extremes in their views on life and death. "Do you still remember that there was an associate professor of history named Xiduo at the Protos Royal Magic Academy? He's Yabo. He's been planning to rob the three of you since then, but he seems to be afraid of the Great Demon Trials in one of the prisons, so he hasn't been able to sneak into the prison to find you," Lanqi looked at the communication magic in confusion and continued to speak to his friends at the table. Generally speaking, Torriado would have connected by now. "Yabo is really a good brother. I knew不许没收我的人籍第八百二十三章 兰奇的心意
He wouldn't forget us."
Antanas clapped her hands and laughed. "I never thought that there would be a Great Demon in the Protos Empire," the Ice Snow Demon also revealed an incredible expression. But after thinking about it, she realized that the dimension bishop at that time should have been seriously injured. Even if he wanted to help the Overlord Church, he couldn't, but in the end, Associate Professor Xiduo held back the ambitious Duke Morodian and gave Duke Morodian a key blow in the Capitol Building - the Berenhard Duke family certificate submitted to the military. "In any case, Torriado is very reliable at critical moments," Prana said, relieved. With Torriado, the last demon general, helping them, their combat power in the Krei Empire had another major guarantee. Originally, he thought that the option of breaking through Bloodmoon City was hopeless, but after reuniting with Lanqi, the feasibility had soared past the minimum combat strength baseline. Just then, the communication magic in Lanqi's hand connected. "..." The other end of the communication magic didn't speak. There was only a buzzing sound with unstable signals. "Torriado, there's great news," Lanqi immediately said to the holy communication magic card. Calling Torriado out, he would basically arrive as soon as the communication was cut off. "Wait a moment. If it's not particularly urgent, I'll go find you tomorrow," Torriado lowered his voice, seeming to be in a very dangerous position. He shouldn't have even connected to this communication. However, Lanqi called, so he still took the risk of answering. "It's not urgent," Lanqi rarely heard Torriado speak so seriously. Anyway, tomorrow is the Moon God Festival, and Torriado should theoretically come back to St. Krei Monastery to see the excitement. After all, his personality is that he likes to join in the fun wherever it is. Torriado hung up the communication immediately after hearing this. "Uh, he can't come?" Antanas was slightly disappointed. Among the existing old Demon Realm Great Demons, she and Ifatia were the only ones with extroverted personalities, while the other four Great Demons were more introverted. So the three of them got along very well. "I don't know where he ran off to. Anyway, we should be able to see the other partners in the Krei Empire tomorrow," Lanqi shook his head regretfully and put away the communication magic. Torriado seemed to be cynical, but in reality, the battle of Bloodmoon City was approaching at the end of the month, and they were still short of combat power, so it wouldn't be strange for Torriado to be anxious to do things. Even things like Maguire's documents being stolen made it unclear whether Torriado was throwing a tantrum or planning it intentionally. "Tomorrow is the Moon God Festival. Let's just stroll around the school. This is probably the only chance to rest before the final battle at the end of the month. We can also pray for the blessings of the gods. These are all necessary preparations... May our final battle go smoothly. I probably have to work on the energy research of the Empire tomorrow morning. You guys can have fun and don't mind me," Lanqi said to the other Great Demons. They had traveled thousands of miles to the heart of the Krei Empire and delivered this assistance in combat power at a critical moment. Lanqi was very grateful to them. He only felt that they had worked hard. "No, no, we haven't really been busy these past few days. You and Yabo have really worked hard," Antanas waved her hands. Starting from the days after Lanqi came to the Krei Empire, even if he replaced Landri's identity, he must have been working day and night, almost without stopping, to achieve their current strategic position. People who know what they want to do in this world are lucky, because these people will never feel the pain of work in their lives. But there are also some people, a very few people, who don't know if they are lucky. They have found something they must do, something they are addicted to, something that will drive them crazy if they don't do it. And Lanqi is obviously this kind of person. In the end, the Baby Bus was made by the driver using his life, and he was the leader who needed to rest the most. "I promised you that saving you is not to make you suffer, nor will I let you encounter danger. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. You just need to fight with peace of mind," Lanqi replied with a smile, not feeling tired at all. "By the way, Lanqi, I have another question," Antanas heard this and lowered her head in silence for a long time before mustering up the courage to look at Lanqi again. Although it might be inappropriate for her to ask such a question at this time. But she felt that since she was Lanqi's friend, rather than the initial relationship of reaching a contract transaction, she needed to ask. This was also for her other friends. "Ask," Lanqi said easily. Since it was now the current situation of the final battle, he would answer without hesitation. "What is your view of Hibelian, Talia, and Sigrid?" Antanas stared at Lanqi and asked. The other Great Demons were surprised to hear Antanas's blunt question. They looked at Antanas and then at Lanqi, and suddenly didn't know what to say, only holding不许没收我的人籍第八百二十三章 兰奇的心意
their breath.
Sooner or later, or even long ago, they understood that the relationship between these three people was a bit of an inexplicable love. Even combining what they learned in the Shadow World about their past lives, the three of them were the true women of destiny that the Black Sun had missed, and none of them could end well with the Black Sun. They all perished in the Blood Moon Bad World era. "I will give them an explanation after the war in the Krei Empire ends," Lanqi this time didn't give the slightest perfunctory answer. He looked directly at the Great Demons and answered honestly. "The only and most correct thing I need to do now is to break through Bloodmoon City and put a complete end to this Blood Clan disaster." This was Lance Ross's unfinished wish and the most important work of his life. "If I can't even do this, then I can only repeat the same mistakes." "Repeating the same history, making the same mistakes, over and over again." He murmured the words he had heard before. Half of his face was lost, and half of his face was delighted, full of compassion and pity. "So you really know..." Xinora came back to her senses in a daze. They didn't know before whether Lanqi was pretending not to understand or really didn't understand. He was too much like a god, without human emotions, and no one could touch him. Just like his consistent calmness and detachment, it seemed that it didn't make a difference to him whether he understood or not. Now, after taking the slow and long road from the Northern Continent to the Southern Continent, spanning tens of thousands of years of the Blood Moon Bad World era, he seemed to have finally taken off the cloak of the gods and become a reachable flesh and blood body. "We will help you to the end," Prana said to Lanqi, gently pressing his shoulder. Prana rarely made decisions so decisively. Even though he now sensed that the chances of successfully raiding Bloodmoon City were much lower than expected, and the survival rate might even be less than 50%. But he would do his best this time. Success is not the end, and failure is not the end. They must move forward without hesitation, and compromise with the enemy is absolutely impossible. If they don't defeat the Blood Clan, they will never be able to get the tranquility of the afternoon. It was Lanqi who had been charging ahead, teaching him the courage of a leader. As for what happens next, whether it's success or becoming martyrs, he believed that Lanqi had the ability to handle it well, until he created a world without end, a relatively perfect world. "Yes, we will help you. We will always be your best partners," Antanas slapped the table and promised Lanqi with a grin. She couldn't wait to return to Ikerite and have a celebration party with everyone. "Do the urgent things first, then do the important things," Ifatia repeated the school motto Lanqi taught her, using what she had just learned. "The goddess of destiny will protect you. May your military exploits be immortal, and may your heroes be famous all over the world," the Ice Snow Demon also closed her eyes and prayed. Although the rain was still pattering outside, the first floor of the mansion in St. Krei Monastery was full of uplifting and lively atmosphere, as if it could dispel all dampness and cold. ... At this time, the bedroom on the second floor. The sound of the room closing and the door lock latching was soft. The curtains were half-open, and the thin light of the winter morning through the clouds and fine rain fell into the room. Hibelian slowly opened her eyes. She looked at this unfamiliar environment that made her feel at peace in her heart. Hibelian turned her head and only found a pair of eyes watching her. It was Talia, the one she was most familiar with. Talia had placed two chairs by her bed and was watching over her. She had probably been waiting for her to wake up for a long time. "Hibelian, are you feeling better?" Talia asked her with concern when she noticed Hibelian waking up. "I..." Hibelian nodded slightly and tried to sit up. Her waist-length hair was slightly disheveled, her muscles were in severe pain, and she felt like her skeleton was about to fall apart. According to the brief explanation of the Ice Snow Demon before she fell asleep yesterday, the runaway power of Melogas was exaggeratedly strong, and it could forcibly elevate her to the point where even Xinora and Antanas couldn't easily stop her. The corresponding use of this power also came with incalculable costs. Even with her poison resistance, she couldn't completely control her power like Melogas. Now that she thought about it, Hibelian felt that Melogas was actually a demon with an excessively strong spirit and will. Melogas's paranoia was consistently carried out, and she could even control madness. "Don't force yourself. Just lean against the headboard," Talia understood roughly after seeing Hibelian's condition. Last night, the Demon Realm doctor Antanas had already examined Hibelian's body. Fortunately, Hibelian was born with high poison resistance and a body structure that was compatible with the Blasphemy Lord Melogas, so she could withstand Melogas's power. Otherwise, if other demons used Melogas's poison on themselves, they would probably die after using it once. After all, Talia had only seen the strengthening technique that could barely raise a seventh-order to the eighth-order domain once -- that was the shard of the legendary magic device [Pahloni's Grudge Record] in Huadu, which also required paying a price close to life. The reason why Nigel, her and Lanqi's good friend in Huadu, was able to survive after being embedded with the shard of the legendary magic device by Pearlman was partly because Nigel had been secretly modified by Pearlman since he was a child as Pearlman's adopted son and became a successful experimental subject, possessing some [Pahloni's Grudge Record] adaptability. On the other hand, Nigel had an extraordinary steel will and a determination to protect Huadu at all costs. Only by truly possessing both can one use extraordinary power. "Hibao, my Hibao," Talia first looked at the recovered Hibelian, then couldn't help but hug her, tears welling up in her eyes, worried that she would really be seriously injured and fall asleep and never wake up. Hibelian was originally stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, slowly placed her hand on Talia's back. "I'm really fine, Tata," Hibelian said softly. She probably wouldn't use [Melogas Blasphemy Royal Authority] again in the future, unless it was really necessary for her to risk her life at all costs, that last resort moment. She didn't know why Talia's emotions were so turbulent at this time, but she only knew that she should comfort Tata at this time. "How long have I been asleep?" Hibelian asked Talia, letting Talia hug her. She seemed to have a hazy dream. She dreamed of her fake aunt, the Blasphemy Lord Melogas. Melogas condescendingly told her that she was not qualified to use the power of the Demon King. This blasphemous demon king power that connects everything beyond life and death could not be used by a half-baked demon princess like her. If she didn't have the determination to die a hundred times without life, she might as well hand over her body to her Blasphemy Lord to use. "You've only been asleep all night," Talia slowly released Hibelian and replied. She stayed up all night, worried, and stayed by Hibelian's side. Talia found that Sid was also strange. It was obvious that no one was watching Sid last night, so it was a good opportunity to occupy Lanqi alone, but Sid said that she would abide by the agreement with Tata and stayed here to watch over Hibelian together. Then, as soon as it was morning, Sid went downstairs to help Cat Boss. Talia still couldn't figure out whether Sid and Hibelian had ever known each other, or whether their relationship was good or bad. While thinking, Talia had already taken the breakfast wrapped in tin foil from the bedside table for Hibelian. This breakfast was originally for Talia from Sid. Because she didn't know when Hibelian would wake up, Sid sent the breakfast and then went downstairs again to continue making breakfast. As a result, Hibelian woke up just after Sid left the room. After opening the tin foil, it looked like a piece of golden-brown grilled bacon pineapple bread, steaming hot and sprinkled with chopped green onions and shredded cheese. "Ah," Talia held her hand underneath and handed it to Hibelian's mouth. "I'm not a child anymore," Hibelian's cheeks were slightly red, but even as she said this, she took a bite from the end, and her expression gradually became comfortable. The outer skin was crispy, the inside was soft and hot, the dough was chewy, and it was filled with the sweet aroma of grilled cheese, the sour and sweet pineapple, and the elasticity of the bacon. Hibelian felt that this was the moment when she truly came alive. It turned out that this was how pleasant it was when Tata leaned against the headboard and was fed. Questioning Tata, understanding Tata, becoming Tata. This was perhaps the path that a Demon Realm princess must take. "..." Talia inexplicably read Hibelian's thoughts. How come even Hibelian was starting to do quests? Talia was confused, poured a cup of honey lemon tea, and fed Hibelian a bite of the tea in between bites of breakfast. "Come on, Hibelian," Talia handed Hibelian the lemon tea, and Hibelian quickly sipped the edge of the teacup. "Mmm," Hibelian sipped, starting with the unique mellow sweetness of the sugar, feeling the lemon's extremely refreshing flavor. When the moisture in her mouth was excessively absorbed by the bread, it was warm and followed her throat down, spreading from her stomach to her whole body, and the chill on her body when she woke up in the winter morning disappeared. Although Hibelian had never had a mother to take care of her since she was a child, she found that because she had lived with Talia for a long time, Talia took care of her very easily, completely knowing what she liked and what she needed, and even knowing her body better than she did. Before long, Hibelian was almost full. Then, Talia cleaned up the tin foil. She sat back in her original place. But she didn't say anything when she looked at Hibelian. Hibelian sensed that Talia was hesitant to speak. She unexpectedly understood Talia's mood at this moment. It was probably a kind of telepathy. Based on their long-term understanding of each other. Or rather, some things between them should have been confessed to each other long ago. "..." Talia placed her hands on Hibelian's pure white bedding, avoiding Hibelian's gaze, and was silent for a moment. Until the light rain outside the window fell for a while longer. She exhaled a breath and finally looked at Hibelian. "Hibelian, a lot of things happened during the time that Lanqi and I went to Huadu, and I changed my view of him a lot because of this. Even because we went through several life-and-death crises and shared weal and woe, so..." Talia said here, but it was like she couldn't say anything. "So what?" Hibelian stared at Talia's eyes. Talia seemed very calm, but it was difficult to hide her embarrassment. "Tata, don't worry, no matter what, I will believe you. My father taught me that even if you are deceived, you must believe and try to resolve the misunderstanding, because if no one believes first, there will never be true trust, and you will often be troubled by misunderstandings and make decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life," Hibelian took Talia's hand and passed the warmth to her along her palm. "Mmm," Talia's voice was a little guilty, but full of gratitude. Talia had long believed after spending so much time with Hibelian. Her elegance, her sensitivity, the temperament that mixed depression and determination, rigor and decisiveness, that innocence, but it did not hinder her from having many healthy and correct knowledge. "..." Talia didn't reply for a short time and slowly lowered her head. Her hand held Hibelian's hand tightly in return. All of her other thoughts that she wouldn't express at this moment were being conveyed to her through the temperature of her palm. "Hibelian, I think I probably like Lanqi," Talia bowed to Hibelian and said word by word, "So I won't hide from him anymore. He is no longer just a disciple to me." Talia stared into Hibelian's eyes and confessed sincerely. "So that's how it is," Hibelian's expression only showed relief. "It's great that you can say it honestly." On the window glass not far from the bedroom, the profiles of Talia and Hibelian were reflected. The two's naturally cold eyes could not hide the ups and downs of their hearts, and the ice and snow melted. "Liking Lanqi is not a mistake. I also like this kind of good man. I can only say that our tastes are very similar, Tata," Hibelian didn't understand why she had so much courage at this moment. She could say it directly, but she didn't want to hide anything anymore. How could she not be moved by a man who could always risk his life to protect her? She could deceive herself, but she couldn't deceive others. "Then we're going to steal a man..." Talia's eyes were sparkling, as if the last knot in her heart had been untied. "No matter what our relationship becomes, we will always be family," Hibelian said, reaching out and hugging Talia tightly. Outside the bedroom door. Sigrid leaned against the door, holding a tray. When she heard their conversation, she was relieved and prepared to leave. After sending Tata breakfast just now, she noticed the movement of Hibelian waking up in the room, so she stayed temporarily to listen to Hibelian's condition. To be honest, she was very envious of Hibelian and also very envious of Tata. To be able to have each other like this. This was something she had never had since she was born. It could only be experienced in dreams. ... Inside the room, Talia put her hand on Hibelian's back. "Hibelian, since you asked me to treat you with sincerity, I have one more thing to tell you," Talia sat on the chair next to the bed and whispered in Hibelian's ear, "Actually, we met in the last Shadow World. I'm sorry I lied to you at the time." She said again. Then, she told Hibelian everything she saw in the central room of the Purgatory Corridor Academy. As well as the many causes and effects of Kariera leaving a small spark. And Kariera dedicating everything to light the last firefly leading to victory for Lance Ross, and the key to saving him in the end. Since she had promised not to deceive Hibelian anymore. Now that she had returned to the real world. Some things could also be told to Hibelian. "..." After hearing the true ending of Kariera. Hibelian sat there in a daze. She couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. "I see..." Hibelian's tears flowed down. The clear tears on her cheeks, with a sob, were both reluctant and relieved. "As expected, Kariera was no longer there at the time of the Blood Moon Bad World," Hibelian said, clenching her hands tightly.
