The 457th day of the Saint Leon calendar, the twenty-second day of the winter month.
When Yuffie woke up, she found that the light rain that had been falling for several days had finally stopped. The sun broke through the clouds, bringing warmth and a new day. She washed herself briefly, opened the wooden window of the room, and breathed in the rain.
There was still a bit of moist air, and I was thinking about my next move.
There was a slight sound of the door opening behind her, and the blond girl walked into the house carrying a wooden plate with breakfast and sat down next to her. Perhaps because she had taken care of the gryphon Grace since she was a child, Lin had always been used to getting up early. In order to avoid attracting attention,
Grace has been quietly staying in the demiplane belonging to the spirit of arcana these past few days, but she still maintains the habits she has developed over the years.
Therefore, during this period of time, Yuffie could always have a steaming breakfast shortly after getting up - no different from when she was at school.
A small white falcon flew in from the open window and landed on the head of their bed. She flapped her wings, shook off the water droplets on her body, then jumped to the ground, returned to the appearance of Eskar, and stretched out with all her strength.
Lazy up.
"I've guessed that you would come today." Lin greeted her happily, "So I've prepared breakfast for three people, come and eat."
The three girls sat side by side, tasting the breakfast that Yu Lin borrowed from the hotel's kitchen and made by herself. Today's recipe is golden pancakes, topped with melted butter and maple syrup - one of the specialties of northern Breeze Forest.
, paired with a glass of sweet milk, simple yet warm. After experiencing the time in the mystery, this kind of peaceful time on the surface is already a rare satisfaction for them.
Of course, true peace is far from coming.
On that day, shortly after Yuffie and Lin left, Eskar approached Shireenfeel and volunteered to be the messenger to convey news between the two of them and the Elna people. Considering that there might be important intelligence in the south, Eskar was an outstanding person.
As a natural messenger and having a deep friendship with the two of them, Shillenfell happily agreed to her request.
The two of them, who had bid farewell to the forest for the time being, were very happy to see her again. Since then, she has been traveling back and forth between the two sides, often flying back and forth every three to five days. Yuffie was worried that she was working too hard, but she seemed to enjoy it.
, did not show any signs of fatigue. Moreover, the information from this lovely messenger was indeed of great help.
"Have you discovered anything new, Eskar?" After eating breakfast, Yuffie gently sipped the warm milk and asked.
"Well, let's talk about the good news first." The messenger girl held her chin and nodded, "It has been raining heavily for two or three days in a row in the Forest of Tranquility, and it even snowed heavily in the north. Thanks to the weather, those damn demons
It finally calmed down a bit, and the Imperial Army was forced to slow down its advance, giving us a chance to regroup." At this point, she looked at the clear sky outside the window and sighed with regret, "It's a pity that the rain has stopped now.
Now, it would be great if we could have another ten days or so."
Even the Elna people who live in harmony with nature have difficulty directly controlling the climate change of the entire forest. I wonder if those "god envoys" can do it - even if they can, they will not control the continent at will.
?Yuffie analyzed Eskar’s information while thinking wildly with her free mind.
"At least this way, no matter the empire, the Sachi people or the demons, they won't be able to ignite the forest in a short time." She opened a handmade notebook and jotted down a few notes on it, "What's the other news?"
"Hmm...it's a bit strange information." Eskar bit her index finger, "Yuffie, Lin, have you ever heard...that the Fritz people have any strange customs?"
"It's hard to say what kind of custom is 'weird'." Lin chuckled and patted the messenger girl on the back, "For example, you Erna people can sleep in trees, but for the Sachi people,
Almost unimaginable, right?”
"That's true..." Eskar murmured in a low voice, then immediately shook his head and retorted, "Wait, it's not weird to sleep in a tree! But the messenger coming back from the east said that they found that the Fritz people had killed the remaining soldiers on the previous battlefield.
All the corpses, whether they are the enemy's or ours, are dragged back to the stronghold... Could it be said that the Fritz people have the habit of helping bury the enemy?"
Yuffie turned to look at Lin, and got the same confusion from the other person's eyes. The Saki people may also arrange the corpses because of their fear of the dead - even if the way they 'place' their enemies has never been praised. People living in the sea
The Fritz people did not need to deliberately dispose of the bodies of the deceased. Those tiny but huge marine creatures would naturally dispose of the bodies.
She shook her head and said she had never heard of such a thing. "What did the Fritz people do to the corpses after they took them away?"
"I don't know." Eskar thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The messenger said he didn't dare to get too close. I'll fly over next time and have a look!"
"If they are really making some plans, there may be danger near the camp. Maybe it's better not to get close." The faces of Cullen, Hughes, and Gil flashed through Yuffie's mind - it was hard to tell whether the Fritz people got it.
With their assistance, or individuals with similar strength, "Maintaining our communication with Ms. Shillenfield is a relatively important thing at the moment."
"And I hope you are safe more than having useful information." Lin imitated her tone and said. She turned her head and glared at the blonde girl, and then the three of them laughed together.
That's right, instead of saving the world and bringing peace, what she wanted was always to protect everything around her.
They chatted for a while, mainly about the various interesting things that happened in the Erna team and the current situation of their former companions. Lily was as active as ever, and the blood originating from "September" allowed her to
With his extremely high talent for communicating with nature, and the teachings of Shireen Feil, he has already lived up to the title of "Nature Sage". A few days after setting off, Bell muttered that he wanted to eat meat, so Amberli grilled
He gave him a whole leg of a Hill Demon - Yuffie prayed silently for a moment, hoping that the Veron would not fall down due to food poisoning.
"It's almost time." It was almost noon. Eskar glanced out the window and stood up. "Is there any news you want me to take back this time?"
"There are indeed some." Yuffie also straightened up and looked down from the window, "But... it's not a very good thing."
She saw pedestrians walking around in this small town, busy with their day's work or affairs, and occasionally saying hello to each other. Everything seemed normal. But a few days ago, they used the name "Imperial Travelers from the Countryside"
As for his identity, when he inquired about the news in the town, he discovered that some things had unknowingly penetrated into such a small town——
