Under the gaze of the clerk who dared not say a word, Avis casually put the confidential information in his hand back on the tray and smiled back at Fiona.
"However, the ripples of fate have brought me revelations. You may need some help these days."
"Don't bother Your Majesty, Fiona can take care of herself."
Unhurriedly, she placed a government document in her hand on the already reviewed part. Fiona puffed her cheeks slightly and stared at Avis with her big lake-blue eyes, looking like a majestic duchess.
"Okay, I believe that."
Looking at the girl with a hint of dissatisfaction in her polite attitude, Anvis waved his sleeves in a funny way, signaling all the administrative staff and maids in the city lord's hall to leave.
As all the outsiders left, the towering carved bronze door closed slowly. Anvis walked to Fiona's desk, the hem of his black silk robe rolled up, and he leaned on it casually.
"But, Miss Fiona, don't you want to return to your own world line?"
"Return to my world line?"
Hearing this, Fiona, who was sitting behind the large desk, was stunned for a moment, and then a complex color suddenly flashed deep in her eyes.
"Yes, if nothing happens, you will be able to go back in the near future. But before that, you still need to do one thing for me."
Nodding slightly, Anvis stood up again and walked to the girl.
"So, what do you need me to do...brother?"
Raising her head slightly, Fiona looked into Anvis's black eyes and asked softly.
"...When did you discover it?"
He was startled for a moment, looking at the girl staring at him, Anvis was silent for a while, and then he laughed, acknowledging the girl's guess in disguise.
"It is impossible for a ninth-level existence to appear out of thin air without an origin, let alone a ninth-level prophet. But I asked His Majesty the Silent Kingdom and found that the family has no information records related to you before.
Moreover, when we get along with you, you always give me a familiar feeling."
Pouting her lips, the little girl looked a little dissatisfied.
"Why did you hide it from me, brother?"
"I can't always be by your side, Fei. There's nothing better than a real world for training."
Seeing Fiona's angry look, Avis blinked.
"Besides, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess my identity..."
However, before Anvis could finish his words, the little girl with long light blond hair suddenly rushed forward and slammed into Anvis's arms!
"Brother, I miss you!"
The girl's voice had a trembling cry, and the softness deep in Anvis's heart also trembled, as if it was tightly wrapped by this sudden warmth.
He gently hugged the girl in his arms, feeling the long-lost but familiar dependence, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a gentle arc.
"Okay, Fei, I've seen everything during this period, you did a great job!"
He whispered softly, his voice was low and gentle, flowing slowly in the air, warming the space where only the two of them were alone at the moment.
"Growing up is always accompanied by loneliness and challenges. I hope you can learn to be independent, not only because I am your brother, but also because you are Fiona, the bright star in the prophecy, with a future of infinite possibilities.
"
"But, brother, I am very scared. I am afraid that one day, I will lose you, just like losing my parents in this world..."
The girl's tears finally slipped down and fell on Anvis's clothes, but they seemed to drip into his heart, causing ripples in circles. She clung to Anvis tightly, her voice was as thin as a gossamer, as if she wanted to
The thoughts and insecurities in my heart poured out.
"Don't worry, Fei, don't worry, I'm right here."
Patting Fiona's back gently, Avis softly comforted the sobbing little girl.
…
After a while, Fiona took the initiative to withdraw from Anvis's arms and readjusted her demeanor.
"So, what do you need me to do now?"
The girl's voice still had a hint of nasality, but her eyes had gradually returned to their former determination from sadness.
"Here, put this on and come with me for a walk."
With a smile, Anvis casually placed a cloak that looked like a mist gauze on the table, and then walked towards the small door at the back of the hall. Although Fiona was a little confused, she still put down the official document in her hand, put on the cloak and followed him
behind.
Under the cover of the magic cloak, the guards passing by turned a blind eye to the two people passing by.
The two walked through numerous palaces, walked out of the city lord's palace, and entered the lively streets of Zhongcheng. The afternoon sun shone on the two of them, coating them with a hazy light of pale gold.
The city of Kallas is currently in a period of rapid recovery after the war. The streets and alleys are extremely popular at the moment, with humans, orcs, elves, dwarves...
Regardless of whether they are indigenous people or players, people of all races are walking in a hurry, but their faces are mostly filled with the color of peace and hope after the war. They are busy walking through the streets, trading, talking, or admiring the city.
bustling.
The air was filled with the smell of various foods and spices, as well as the sound of metal tapping from the blacksmith shop in the distance, and the figures of craftsmen busy repairing the damage caused by the war.
Anvis and Fiona walked one behind the other on the bustling street, and the noisy crowd passed by them. Under the magic cloak, they seemed to be bystanders of this bustling world, despite the hustle and bustle around them.
, but they seemed to be in another world.
"The city is gradually getting back on track, and that's all thanks to you."
Walking in front, Anvis turned his back to Fiona and spoke in a gentle voice.
"War brings pain and destruction, but it also makes people cherish peaceful times more."
"These are not the achievements of me alone, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Hearing this, Fiona shook her head gently, and the pale golden light projected by the afternoon sun danced in her hair, like a jumping golden elf.
"Those soldiers who fought to the death to protect their homeland during the war, and those craftsmen who silently repaired the city after the war. Everyone worked hard, and they are the foundation for Kallas' recovery."
The girl's voice was very soft, but it seemed to penetrate the surrounding noise and reach Anvis' ears directly.
Hearing this, Anvis turned his head slightly, his eyes fell through the slits of the magic cloak on Fiona's soft but firm face, and then revealed a hint of gentleness.
"It seems like you've grown a lot, Fei."
"Everyone will grow, not to mention my current situation."
Looking into Avis's eyes, Fiona smiled slightly sheepishly, her big lake-blue eyes sparkling with light, as bright as stars.
"Although I don't have much personal power, since I am in this position, I can always do something for the world."
