The invincible Holy Spirit is not a newbie

Satsuki?

Shi Liuli repeated it without any scruples: "It's Xiaoyue! I think it sounds very good!"

Penglai Wanyue finally confirmed a fact - Shi Liuli is really shameless!

After glaring at her for some unknown reason, Penglai Wanyue realized that he didn't seem to resent Shi Liuli calling him that, so he didn't say anything.

Maybe it's because Seruri helped Rayafari?

She didn't know, she only knew that there was an unknown emotion lingering in her heart. It wasn't shyness or embarrassment. It made her feel itchy and made her want to scratch it. She desperately wanted to know what this emotion was. What.

After a moment, she understood——

This is joy.

Because someone could speak to her so calmly and outspokenly, it gave her a faint sense of joy that she had gained something.

But she seemed a little unsure, her eyebrows seemed to be hard to open, and she was confused and relieved at the same time. However, this scene made Shi Liuli think that she was unhappy.

"Ah, I'm sorry! If you don't want to, then I'll call you...well, what do you want me to call you?"

The girl suddenly remembered that she had never called Penglai Wanyue by a name other than 'Xiaoyue'.

Penglai Wan Yue's tail suddenly turned rapidly several times, and a slightly hurried sound sounded——

"No, you can do whatever you want..."

Penglai Wanyue, who was aware of her feelings, did not continue to speak. It was like the noble autumn chrysanthemum dyed with a light pink, and the charming and bright color climbed onto her pretty face.

Shi Liuli was stunned and wanted to say something, but as if he had picked the right moment, a small object hit him.

"Sister Liuli, I want a hug!" A clear and sweet voice sounded, and Cuier gently raised her little head buried in Shi Liuli's waist.

Looking at Cui'er who suddenly acted coquettishly, Shi Liuli was full of doubts, but she couldn't resist this annoying little goblin. She immediately hugged her and rubbed her, and for a moment she was immersed in the little softness. , forgot what he was going to say just now.

Out of her sight—Tui'er blocked it—Peng Lai Wanyue's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look of loss.

On the contrary, Cui'er's mouth curved in an equally imperceptible arc.

The thoughts of the two foxes intertwined for just a moment, but the person at the center of the thoughts didn't notice it at all.

Really stupid!

They thought so in unison.

The thoughts intertwined together again, just for a moment, it was the same person again.

But someone still didn't notice.

——"Huh? Why are seniors here? Are they also trying to borrow the teleportation array here?"

Suddenly, a voice that was not particularly familiar, but not unfamiliar either, came from not far away.

It's Rayafari and her companions.

Layafari walked slowly over, her gaze seemingly fixed on Yali, but in reality she was secretly observing Shi Liuli.

Then she was dumbfounded.

The footsteps paused for a moment, but they quickly connected again. Although it felt inconsistent, it was not enough to make people pay too much attention to the inquiry.

Faced with Layafali's "surprised" greeting, Yali's eyes flashed with intellectual light, and she understood the situation instantly and smiled.

"Yes, there is a need to use the teleportation array here. Could it be that Your Excellency the Brave does the same?"

Layafali smiled bitterly, "Senior, you don't have to speak like this. The name of brave is just the afterglow passed down by the ancestors of the past generations. I have only inherited this title, and I am far from carrying it forward. You can call me whatever you want."

"Then, little friend Fali also wants to use the teleportation array?" Yali said with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"Yes, I heard that something happened in the Arctic Icefield. As a brave man, of course I can't just sit idly by and do nothing. I am planning to go over and investigate."

Listening to Layafali seeming to be leading the conversation, Yali also picked up the conversation.

"Oh? It's very dangerous over there, especially recently. Little friend Fali must be fully prepared for this trip, right?"

Layafali shook her head, "You are joking. We can't say for sure, but we are still somewhat certain. Besides, we are just doing an investigation."

"But even so, it's still very dangerous over there... Well, to be honest, our destination is the same as our little friend, why don't we give you a ride?"

"what?"

Layafali was immediately 'flattered', waved her hand and said: "No, no, will this disturb your schedule, senior?"

"How could it be possible~ The opportunity to sell a hero a favor doesn't come around all the time..."

Layafali smiled and teased Layafali, and then said: "Besides, we don't have an accurate goal when we go there. How about I accompany you and just try our luck?"

Facing Yali's warm invitation, Layafali was a little unable to resist, but the friends behind her showed up as she expected——

"What's wrong, Fali, it's much more convenient to have Senior Yali here, isn't it?"

It was Jiewen who spoke, with a slightly complaining look on her face. She was obviously dissatisfied with Layafali's sudden proposal to go to the far north ice field.

It wasn't that she was scared, but that time was too short and they didn't have time to prepare.

Qili didn't know whether it was out of selfish motives or what, she nodded, agreeing with Jiewen's statement.

Krisl smiled bitterly, but did not object. As for Wei Er in the end, it was also up to Rayafali's decision.

Seeing this, Layafali suddenly said helplessly: "It seems that I can only trouble you, senior. Excuse me."

"You're welcome~"

……

Hekline

That day......

In the corner of the northwest border of the Vergar Empire, there is a city that can't be said to be big, but it's not too small either. It can at least hold hundreds of thousands of fireworks.

The name of the city is Heklianin.

This is the territory of the imperial noble, Viscount Norns.

Because it is located in the border area, and it is close to the Arctic Icefield, the climate is much colder than other places. Therefore, few people come to Heklian all year round. Only some businessmen will pick up the warmer ones in spring. It's time to sell some of your own products.

This is almost all Heklian's communication with the outside world.

This place is not particularly prosperous, and the city's harvest throughout the year is not ranked high in the Vergar Empire. This also shows that the owner of the city, Viscount Norns, does not actually have a high status in the empire, otherwise This border city will not be assigned to him to manage.

There was no other way. Viscount Norns was born as a civilian and belonged to the army. He was later awarded the title of Imperial Baron for his outstanding achievements.

Although he was only a baron with the lowest status in the aristocratic class, after his subsequent efforts, he was awarded the title of viscount and owned his own territory - Herculean.

Although this place is not ranked high in the empire, the residents in the city can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. Most people can earn a living here. In addition, the local residents of Heklianin have a A series of protection policies, so most people here don’t have to worry too much about life problems.

Compared to the empire and even most of the continent, this place can be considered a paradise.

And this is all thanks to the owner of this paradise, Viscount Norns, who has managed it well.

Compared with other nobles in the empire, he does not advocate heavy taxes and heavy collection. Residents only need to pay the harvest that just needs tribute. This is the main reason why Heklian is not ranked high in the empire.

Similarly, and for this reason, Viscount Norns is especially loved by the people in Heklian, which is in sharp contrast to the impression of nobles by people in other areas.

The full name of Viscount Norns is Valen Norns. He has a wife who loves him. He is from the same civilian background as him and is also his childhood sweetheart, Mei Lian, and the child of their love, their daughter, Raya Norns. Sri Lanka.

The Duke of Norns does not have a large family. Counting his wife and daughter, plus the four or five servants in the mansion, there are no more than ten in total.

On this day, the still young Raya got up early. Although she was still a little dazed, the bright but not dazzling sunshine outside the window cheered her up, and she quietly went downstairs, wanting to Give your father a surprise.

Today was the day Warren Knownes, her father, went away.

My mother said that she was going to the central area where the Imperial Capital is located. Even if she didn’t include office hours, it would take five days one way. This meant that she wouldn’t be able to see her for nearly half a month. It’s time for father.

So she prepared a little surprise yesterday to give to her father.

"...Do we have to go?" A gentle female voice sounded from the entrance, that was the voice of her mother Mei Lian.

Are you leaving? ?

Raya was startled and hurriedly walked quietly to the corner of the entrance hall, but was forced to stop by the heavy atmosphere that hit her face, and her whole body froze.

what happened?

Raya poked out half of her little head curiously.

"You know, this is the Duke's summons, and I have to go—just to discuss business, don't worry about me, my dear."

With that said, Valen kissed Mei Lian's brow.

Mei Lian covered the area where she was kissed and smiled softly, but the next moment she became worried again.

"I heard that there are rumors of monsters appearing in the imperial capital. Maybe this call for you will be related to this matter. My dear, you must be careful." Mei Lian looked at Valen.

Hearing this, Warren was silent.

Needless to say, Mei Lian was vaguely aware that this summons was not simple. Even he, a small city lord from a borderland, had to be summoned. And until now, he still didn't understand what could have caused the Duke to set up such an array. battle.

But there is no way. There are also classes among nobles, and the Duke stands at the top of this class. Although he has the right to turn him down, it is not good to offend the Duke like this, so he can only go there. .

"I will be careful." Varun's voice was firm, then softened, "Where's Raya? Is she still fast asleep?"

There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. As a father, when he went on a long trip, he naturally hoped that his little cotton-padded jacket would come to see him off.

"Humph - I didn't fall asleep!"

Raya, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but stand up from the corner, looking a little angry.

Mei Lian and Warren's expressions suddenly changed.

"Raya, today is the day when dad is going away. Come and say goodbye to dad."

Mei Lian was the first to react, squatting down and making a "come here" gesture towards Raya.

Raya said "Huh~", but she still ran over obediently, made a face in front of Varun, and then took out a delicate little gift box from the cabinet beside her with a wry smile on Varun's face. , held it in both hands and handed it out.

"No! A farewell gift for dad." Raya turned her face away, seemingly angry, but in fact her eyes were secretly glancing at Varun.

Obviously they wanted to say goodbye to their father happily, but they also looked disgusted. This scene made Valen and Mei Lian smile knowingly.

Warren took the gift that made him happy, then put it in the hands of the butler behind him, motioning for him to put it in the car first, then turned around and took the 'gift' that was more valuable to him.

"I'm sorry, little Laya. Dad shouldn't have said that you were still sleeping in. Little Laya is daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. She even got up early to see daddy off. It was daddy's fault. Can you forgive daddy?"

Varun held Raya in one hand and stroked her little head with the other, his face full of sincerity.

"Hmph~" Raya snorted arrogantly, and then turned around, "Then I will reluctantly forgive dad - don't say that I slept in from now on, it's obviously just mom who didn't call me!"

"Huh?" Mei Lian, who was forcibly dumped, was stunned for a moment, but then she was amused. She stretched out her hand and pinched Laya's face, feigning anger and saying:

"Obviously I play too crazy every night and end up sleeping until my butt is exposed to the sun. Why do you blame your mother for not waking you up? Are you itchy?"

Raya suddenly whimpered and shrank back, looking a little afraid of Mei Lian.

She is not afraid of anyone in this family, but she is afraid of her mother.

Compared to Varun who dotes on Raya, Mei Lian appears to be more responsible and will not dote on Raya in everything.

Of course, this is just a different way of love between the two. It does not mean that Mei Lian does not love Raya anymore.

"Hahaha! My dear, please stop scaring her. Haven't you seen that little Raya is so scared?"

Varun laughed a few times, making Raya a little embarrassed.

"I-I'm not afraid! Huh~!"

Looking at Raya who looked brave, Valen and Meilian both looked at each other and smiled.

The housekeeper waiting outside looked at the happy scene of this family and couldn't help but smile peacefully.

A pleasant and harmonious atmosphere spread throughout the Viscount's residence.

But how long can this scene last?

Beiguan

Winter City, also known as Beiguan, is a city set up by the Vergar Empire outside the Saint-Namo Canyon, the gateway to the far north ice field.

It was said to be a city, but it was actually a military-level fortress. The city walls were so high that they were almost hundreds of meters long, which surprised Shi Liuli, who had just arrived.

As for what this city wall protects, there is probably no need to say more.

A very simple question, just look at the geographical location.
