As the flow of time was restored, the girls gradually regained their ability to move.
However, no one moved.
Sidrifa, who was closest to the bronze dragon, had already fallen to her knees in the snow, and she threw the North Wind Ax aside.
After a while, she suddenly clenched her fist hard and hit the ground.
Bits of snow splashed everywhere.
Eleanor released the spear that had gathered her will, silently raised her head, and stared at the closed wormhole high in the sky with her blue eyes.
Have a good journey, leader.
And... I must come back.
She looked at the sky above her head and murmured silently, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Then he received a heavy punch in the face.
Hildelifer knocked Eleanor to the ground, turned over and sat on her body, hammering her down with both fists like rain. Eleanor just raised her arms to protect her cheeks, letting her beat her no matter how hard she beat her.
Say nothing.
"Stop fighting!" Nora and Mia rushed forward, holding the furious Sidrifa to the left and right, and dragged her away from Eleanor.
"Why!" Sidrifa's face was also full of tears, with a look of resentment, despair, and helplessness, and she screamed hysterically at Eleanor:
"Why are you stopping me!!!"
Eleanor did not answer, but stood up holding her red and swollen cheeks, spitting the blood in her mouth into the snow next to her.
"Stop fighting." Little Mia said helplessly from the side, "The leader will reprimand you when he comes back later..."
Then Hidrifa turned her head and stared at her, her eyes filled with violence and ferocity as if she wanted to tear her into pieces alive.
"He...may never come back." Medea stepped forward, held little Mia's shoulders, and said expressionlessly.
At least in the short term, it won't be possible.
"Ha, what do you mean?" Little Mia still didn't understand.
"Literally." Hilda also broke away from the two people's support and stood up straight silently, her chest still heaving rapidly, breathing heavily, and looking at Eleanor with cold eyes.
Nora ran to Eleanor's side and used the Law of Evolution to treat her injured cheek. The knight girl looked down at the ground with a sad expression, letting Nora caress the side of her face without saying a word.
"Now he has gone back." Medea pulled the gloomy-looking Sidrifa, took a deep breath, and looked at the other girls present:
"Are you satisfied?"
She looked at Eleanor who was helping Aske, then at Mi'er who was secretly taking action, and then at Theodora who didn't take any action during the whole process.
"Are you satisfied?" Medea asked again.
"Medea..." Nora said slowly.
"Nora." Medea said coldly, "Congratulations, you succeeded."
"Now we are all losers."
No one answered her.
In other words, at this moment when everyone's differences have become so obvious that they are almost in opposition, any unnecessary words are just a waste of time.
"Let's go." Medea looked at Hidrifa.
Hidliefa nodded numbly.
"Wait!" The two girls walked away, and little Mia quickly ran to them, "Where are you going?"
However, Medea just glanced at her lightly, and disappeared into the air at the same time as Sidrifa.
To be precise, he has hidden his existence in everyone's consciousness.
"Let them go." Mi'er said behind her. "After Ask leaves, they will definitely not be able to stay."
"What do you mean?" Little Mia was lost, as if she still didn't understand, or refused to believe what the girls said, and said with a smile, "No way? Haha, you don't really think that Aske is gone and never comes back, do you?
?”
Still no one answered her question.
"Nora!" Mia ran to Nora, raised her little face full of hope, and asked pleadingly, "Nora! Asik will come back, right... I mean, it's impossible! He
There's no way they could just leave us here, right?"
Nora was silent and just touched her head, showing a somewhat sad expression.
"But, but..." Seeing her acquiescence to this matter, little Mia's face turned even paler. Just like when she learned that she had been abandoned by the Thieves Guild, it was as if her whole body suddenly fell into an ice cave from a warm environment.
Time is not even felt in the body.
"It shouldn't be..." she said in disbelief, her voice beginning to sob, "Oh, why..."
"Mia." Theodora also stepped forward and whispered, "Asker is gone, you should accept this fact."
Little Mia ignored her, but her shoulders twitched slightly, and tears fell down her delicate cheeks.
"Mir?" Theodora turned her head and asked.
Mi'er also sighed, stepped forward and hugged the sobbing little Mia.
"Then, let's go." Nora nodded to Theodora, and then said goodbye to everyone.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the two girls were about to leave, little Mia suddenly broke away from Mi'er's arms and shouted to Nora and Eleanor, "You guys!"
"Are you... also leaving?" she asked, holding back her sobs.
Seeing the always optimistic little Mia become like this, Nora felt a little guilty and intolerable for a moment, but she soon calmed down and whispered:
"Otherwise? Little Mia... Asik has left."
"But the Cangqing Sword is still here!" Xiao Mia shouted in disbelief, "We, aren't we on the same team? Aren't we all mercenaries of the Cangqing Sword?"
"Little Mia, we didn't join the Blue Sword because we liked being mercenaries." Nora could only sigh and decided to talk to little Mia completely, "We stayed in the team because of Asker.
"
"After all, most of the so-called Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group is not united by the team itself. Now that Asik is gone, what's the point of us continuing to stay?"
She supported Eleanor and continued walking down the mountain: "Goodbye, Mia. If you have time in the future, you can come to Solomon City to find me."
"You are... betraying!" Little Mia shouted desperately towards their backs with uncontrollable crying, "You have betrayed the Cangqing Sword! If, if Asik knew about this when he came back,
, will definitely be very, very angry!”
"Mia." Mi'er pulled her arm to signal her to stop venting like this.
"Why is it like this..." Until the figures of Nora and Eleanor disappeared behind the snow slope, little Mia sat slumped in the snow, pressing her face hard with both hands, and uncontrollable tears flowed from her fingers.
Time flowed down, "Why..."
Mi'er sighed helplessly and looked at Theodora beside her.
Theodora was also comforting Peggy who was kneeling in the snow. The vampire girl didn't speak the whole time, or in other words, since Ask disappeared into the wormhole above her head, she had completely fallen into a kind of solidification that refused to accept reality.
In this state, he just knelt and sat in the snow blankly, as if his mind was completely broken.
"When do you plan to leave?" Mi'er asked.
"I'll stay a little longer and then go," Theodora said.
After all, there is an empire waiting for her to govern.
The believers in Solomon City, the Lateran Palace, and the square had exploded, forcing even the Pope to come out and give a speech to appease the restless people.
Because the hour hand of Giotto's clock has jumped to 10 o'clock in one breath, and is still oscillating back and forth counterclockwise in 15-minute increments. Several elderly believers have suffered heart attacks and collapsed directly on the floor tiles of the square.
Up.
Back in the conference room of the Lateran Palace, the cardinals were also silent.
The analysis of the reason for the sudden rotation of the hour hand has also come out: just a few hours ago on Mont Blanc, Asker left this world, and the Blue Sword mercenary group with nine demigods collapsed.
This is of course also in Raphael's calculations. In other words, since the Holy See, Zondrilic, and the Bronze Dragon have reached a secret agreement, the countdown to the disintegration of the Blue Sword has begun.
However, few cardinals felt pleased when looking at the dial of Giotto's clock.
If there were nine organized groups in the past that were potentially unparalleled threats to the Holy See, now they are eight groups that are scattered, chaotic, and hostile to each other.
Although the threat to the Holy See has been greatly reduced, the harm of chaos to the entire civilized world has increased. This is why the hour hand of Giotto's clock rotates.
The cardinals were still silent, secretly planning the next strategy of the Holy See and how to deal with the one who was about to return, the future saint. Suddenly, they heard His Majesty Pope Innocent sigh:
