Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

"Baby, are you leaving now?"

The old man looked at the white-haired girl in front of him with some reluctance, holding her hand and said.

Skadi nodded, and then spoke in stiff Yan Guoyu.

"I have disturbed you for a long time. I need to go find my companions now."

"Grandpa, thank you for taking me in."

"Really? Really?... Really. Judging from your appearance, I'm afraid you have something important to do."

The old man looked a little gloomy, then shook his head and said.

"You said you were going to the coast, so the next place you're going to is either Victoria or Iberia, right?"

"The distance between the two places is not that close..."

He said with some concern.

"It's okay. You can walk all the way there."

Skadi shook her head, then raised her hand and spoke.

"I'm very good at beating the robbers."

"Hey, kid, this is not a question of whether you are powerful or not... Well, never mind, never mind - wait a moment, you wait here for a while."

The old man forcibly dragged Skadi into the house again.

This time, she found herself being pulled into an unfamiliar room. Compared with the guest room she had stayed in before, this room seemed to lack the breath of life.

There were no sheets or pillows on the bed, and everything on the desk was neatly arranged, some of it even covered in dust.

Skadi walked forward and looked at the group photo hanging on the head of the bed.

That was the daily life of a family of three.

The man in the photo was about forty years old and looked very strong. She turned around and found that the old man was extremely similar to the middle-aged man in the photo.

The middle-aged woman on the side also looked very similar to the old man's wife, except that between them, there was a young girl wearing the military uniform of the Yan country.

The girl in the picture looks to be only in her 20s, and her smile is very pretty.

"Old woman, go find some clothes for our daughter and change them for her! I'll go find something else!"

The old man shouted, and then hurried out.

"I'm coming."

As he shouted, an old woman hurried over from the side and pulled Skadi, saying something.

Because he spoke so fast and with so many words, Skadi couldn't understand a lot of it.

But I can roughly hear something like...Keep warm, don't get cold...

"Oh, look at you. You didn't even tell me you were leaving. Look at the clothes you're wearing. How long have you been wearing them? I was thinking of washing them for you first."

As the woman spoke, she opened a dusty wardrobe beside her, took out several pieces of Yan country style women's clothing and placed them on the bed.

Then he took Skadi and started changing clothes.

While changing, she said something like, "Oh, look at you, a girl, why don't you even prepare a few changes of clothes when you go out? Fortunately, I had a girl before, and I don't need these clothes anymore, so you can take them away - look, they are just right."

Throughout the whole process, it was the woman who spoke all the time and Skadi had no chance to get a word in.

Then, he saw that his original clothes had been taken off, folded and stuffed into a bag. Before he could react, he was put in a brand new set of clothes.

Then, the woman pushed her in front of the dressing mirror, took out a hairband and tied Skadi's long hair into a high ponytail.

"Okay, it turns out that everyone needs to clean up. Look at how you looked before. You looked dusty and exhausted. If you walked outside, people would gossip about you."

The woman looked at Skadi, then folded several other pieces of clothing together and stuffed them into the bag.

"Here, take it. Take this bag too."

"Also, take these water bottles with you, and the dry food as well—"

As the woman spoke, she walked out of the door, then brought in a bunch of small items and stuffed them into her bag.

If the bag can't fit any more, just put it in Skadi's pocket.

Soon, the latter was completely hung up.

Throughout the whole process, Skadi couldn't even get a word in.

After doing everything, the old woman looked at Skadi, and there seemed to be some different emotions flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by the former.

She pulled Skadi into the yard and continued to remind her of various trivial matters as they walked.

It was like a mother who was about to send her son away.

Skadi walked out the door and saw that the old man had been waiting here for a long time.

The latter turned his head, and then seemed to be stunned in place.

After a while, he stepped forward, straightened Skadi's collar, and then spoke.

"It looks like, it really looks like."

"Old man, I'm leaving now."

"Wait, take this with you too."

He said, placing a long sword that looked like a standard weapon into Skadi's hand.

"Weapons...I have them."

Skadi was puzzled and didn't understand why the other party wanted to give her an extra weapon.

The old man just glanced at Skadi, then turned around and pulled the old woman beside him into the house, then spoke.

"Take it. Just consider it as doing a favor for an old man like me... If you leave it here, it will just gather dust every day."

"Okay, you have to hurry up, or you won't be able to walk much if you're late."

He said, and waved his hand, signaling Skadi to leave.

After hearing this, the latter bowed to the old people again and then said.

"Thank you."

She turned around and set out again on the journey to find her companions.

only.....

On the way, she still wondered why the old man gave her a long sword...

Skadi took out the sword and saw that there seemed to be some inscription engraved on the scabbard.

"Is it your last name....chu.....Chu?"

She tried to discern the characters on it with some difficulty, and vaguely felt that she seemed to have seen these characters somewhere before.

In a trance, I walked out of the small village and then into the path between the fields.

Then she looked at a stone tablet standing not far away.

Skadi suddenly knew why the word "Yan" seemed so familiar.

She had seen it before, on that monument.

Walk forward and look at the stone tablet covered with words.

Exactly the same words.

Is it your last name?

After a few days, she learned a lot of Yan Chinese characters from the old man and could vaguely understand a few of them.

"The number of dead soldiers... Chu... killed... years old?"

I still don't understand some of it.

But...this should be a tombstone, right?

Skadi looked at the fallen leaves piled in front of the tombstone, then raised her hand and cleaned up the place.

"Next... we're going to Victoria."

Skadi stood up, carrying her bags, and determined her next destination.

As for the long sword...

She strapped it to her waist along with her greatsword.

It's time to continue on the road.

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

.......

...

The central area of ​​Kazdel's core city.

Located in a secret room underground.

The pink-haired Sarkaz was standing silently in front of the cold glass chamber. He raised his hand and looked at the Sarkaz woman who seemed to be asleep behind the glass.

The other person had the same pink hair as himself, but it was more white, as if it was stained with holy light.

"Are you missing something? Or are you regretting something? Regent... Oh no, maybe you prefer the title of Chairman now, Tracys."

In the shadows, a white-haired man in gorgeous clothes revealed his body. Looking at Tracys who was staring at the corpse behind the glass warehouse, there was a hint of sneer on his face.

"Oh, but speaking of which, you who just integrated the Royal Court and the Sarkaz, you definitely didn't call me here to listen to my ridicule you? Of course, if you really have this habit, I don't mind--"

"Ducare."

Tracy turned his head and then looked at the man behind him.

Ducarre, or...

Blood Demon Lord.

"The group of dukes in Victoria still seem to be a little hesitant, or they haven't made up their minds yet."

As he spoke, he kept staring at the body that seemed to be asleep.

"so?"

"What can you prove? Dukare, your means, or your scheme?"

"I need you to make our future allies an offer they can't refuse."

Dukare looked at Tracy's expression, then smiled confidently.

"If this is the Regent's request, I am certainly happy to accept it. After all, your plan so far has been so...perfect."

When the Blood Demon Lord said the last four words, he deliberately stared at the glass warehouse behind Tracys, and did not hide his sarcasm at all.

However, the latter still maintained his indifferent attitude. He turned his head and said

.

"Just remember not to make too much noise. We can't let the other dukes of Victoria notice it before the plan is implemented."

"Yes, of course I understand. After all, the Regent is famous for his prudence and ruthlessness, isn't he?"

"If you have no further questions, you should leave now."

Tracy said without even turning his head.

"Of course, actually, I'm already on my way."

"Then, before I leave, I wish you, Mr. Chairman, a happy day."

Dukare smiled, and then his figure turned into a cloud of blood and disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 30: A Trio's Journey

The next day in the wilderness...

The darkness and coldness were gradually replaced by the light and heat of the sun. Laurentina leaned against the side of the land vehicle and rubbed her eyes.

I seemed to have fallen asleep again last night.
