The believers also knew that this might be the last restful sleep their saintess would have in human territory.
Next, not only the heroes who had parted ways with their families would begin their journey at full speed, but the Saintess Squad would do the same.
There will be no more time to leisurely ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
The heroes would use their agility, which was much faster than a carriage, to travel at full speed to their original area.
Milu also slept until noon, she was exhausted.
Layton got up early, rested for a night, and then took a carriage with his wife and daughters back to Forever City.
Annie also got up early to see them off.
“Anyi, look at how Brother Layton writes letters, you should write back too!”
"We only see each other twice a year, and they don't even write letters. What if they stay in the demon realm for years and don't come back? Won't we be worried to death?"
With red eyes, Annie held Annie's hand and complained, her nose feeling a little sore.
We have so few chances to meet, and we're about to part ways so soon.
Logically speaking, Annie should have taken his family on a trip like Layton did.
Annie: "Don't worry about me dying."
Annie: "Pah! I didn't say I was worried you'd die! I said we'd be worried to death!"
Asel: "How could mere demons possibly defeat my son?! It's the demons who deserve to die!"
Annie's mother, Elsa, was also standing nearby, pretending to be calm and smiling, but her eyes were full of reluctance.
"Don't overwork yourself. Take a proper rest when you feel like it," she said softly.
She didn't say anything like "be careful not to get hurt," "don't push yourself too hard," or "take care of yourself."
Her son was going to the battlefield, where he would face terrifying demons that she could never have imagined.
Are injuries and bleeding things that can be avoided simply by wanting to?
Among the heroes commemorated on that monument in the Eternal City, was there any one who wanted to die in war?
Nobody wants to die, and nobody is brave enough to want to die.
When death comes, it cannot be avoided, no matter how hard you try.
"Don't overwork yourself" means that An Yi doesn't need to push herself to her limit.
Taking a break when you feel you can is meant to help him adjust his condition as much as possible, within the limits of his abilities.
“I will, Mom,” Annie nodded softly.
Upon hearing the word "Mom," Elsa couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes.
"Hmm...! You have to do your best to protect humanity! There's not much Mom can do to help you, so I can only say these insignificant words."
"Waaaaah—" Annie, standing nearby, completely broke down in tears, hugging Annie and her mother and sobbing uncontrollably.
Asel crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes, and nodded deeply, as if to say, "That's good enough."
He's the head of the household, he can't just hug him and cry!
On the other side, in front of the carriage, a gentleman with a mustache looked at the enormous temple, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Seeing the touching scene of An Yi's family intensified this sense of melancholy.
The same expression was seen on the face of the noblewoman beside her, Miluko's mother.
"That child doesn't seem to want to see us," Perry sighed regretfully.
Brown stared blankly at the temple, then closed his eyes.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"Let's go."
He turned around unhurriedly, as if he were simply leaving a banquet;
"I'm afraid she doesn't want everyone to see her vulnerable side."
Our daughter may seem timid, but she's actually very strong-willed.
"Isn't she usually quite delicate?" Perry couldn't help but chuckle.
Although my husband is usually very serious, he can be humorous like this too.
Then, she took her husband's hand and got into the carriage.
Milu didn't come to see them off, which was a little disappointing for them.
However, it does resemble Miluko's style.
From Miluko's perspective, it would be, "After defeating the demons, there will be countless opportunities to meet again, so why the need for a sentimental farewell?"
However, the truth is...
Milu sat up in bed groggily and glanced at the time.
It was already noon.
"?!"
Milu suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
Finished!
I forgot to say goodbye to my parents!
He quickly dressed and rushed to the temple entrance. The carriages and horses that had been parked there had long since disappeared, leaving only pedestrians and believers coming and going.
Miluko: "..."
Totally spicy!
With her agility, catching up wouldn't be difficult.
What's the point of chasing after someone who missed your farewell?
Keep in mind, several hours have passed since we set off this morning.
Milu stood in front of the temple gate, gazing at the corner at the end of the road, which was blocked by buildings, her eyes ashen.
Another regret that I can't let go of has been added to my life!
At this moment, after bidding farewell to her parents and sister, An Yi also needed to say goodbye to her master.
In the empty training ground, only An Yi and Irene were present. This training ground had been modified by Irene, making it impossible for the heroes to damage it.
An Yi gripped Ireve's sword and, with standard posture and swift movements, completed a set of Ireve's "Raging Wind Sword Technique".
After reading it, Irene happily clapped her hands lightly: "Not bad, not bad."
How is it? Are you getting used to using it?
“It’s so light, it feels like my own hand,” Annie said.
"What do you mean by 'my own hands'? They're still my master's hands, aren't they?"
"From now on, holding this sword will feel like holding my master's hand," Elaine joked.
An Yi said almost immediately, "That's not good."
In his memory, there was a flashback of Irene, who had lost an arm in her previous life.
That scarred Irene.
Irene was also surprised by Annie's reaction: "Huh?"
"Master won't look as good without a hand." An Yi put Irene's sword into her system inventory.
Like [Formless], Irene's sword can also be added to the system inventory.
In his past life, he often carried her on his back, not wanting to think of Elef and feel heartbroken, but also not wanting Elef to be forgotten in the system's inventory.
Of course, this life is different.
"Huh? An Yi actually complimented me on my looks?" Irene was overjoyed and laughed, "What's wrong today? Is it because you're leaving and you're reluctant to part with your master that you're saying this?"
An Yi suddenly strode forward, stood in front of Irene, grabbed her hands with a snap, looked down at her for a while, then looked up and stared into her eyes.
He spoke solemnly, his voice trembling as Elaine's cheeks flushed and her gaze wavered.
"Ok.
well.
This kind of master is very good.
Irene: "Eh—?!!"
Chapter 43 An Yi: Rules? I am the rules (4k)
When a viscount of the demon race is killed, the first to notice is naturally their count.
Especially in the battle of [Water Demon City], eight viscounts died in succession.
The count at the top summoned the viscounts for a meeting, but only three viscounts were present. The round table, which should have been full, was only occupied by four demon nobles, including himself.
Although he wasn't too heartbroken about the viscount's death, a new viscount would soon take his place.
However, the viscount's territory was also his territory, and the viscount was essentially an important subordinate who helped him manage the territory.
In one fell swoop, he killed all his important subordinates, and even killed one of the soldiers he had sent out to monitor him. Wasn't that an insult to him?
A thorough investigation is necessary!
As a result, many subordinates were sent to the city to investigate and found that the Water Demon Viscount had offended the "Dragon Clan" and was then wiped out by a group of demons called the "Dragon Envoys".
The local count was immediately sweating profusely and quickly summoned his subordinates who were conducting the investigation back.
Whatever, do whatever you want, the viscount dies but the count dies!
If I investigate any further, I'll probably get killed along with them!
He was even somewhat relieved that he hadn't been implicated; it was just a bunch of viscounts forming their own cliques.
Well, now they've all been wiped out.
Fortunately, he didn't personally go down to the Water Demon City to investigate.
