In Xin'an City, the chaos of the recent past still echoes.
The frightened people took to the streets and talked about the sudden turmoil and every scene they witnessed. The most mentioned thing was naturally that the heroic spirits of the empire came together with the dragons to repel the menacing monsters.
The people denounced the shamelessness and evil of the monsters, and at the same time boasted about the achievements of the previous emperors. As for the imperial residents who besieged the city, in their opinion, they were also bewitched by monsters - in other words, they were stupid, but worthy of sympathy.
The topic soon turned to which emperor was the greatest, and a quarrel ensued. As for the real cause of the chaos, and even the unending turmoil in the court, it was of no value to them.
Everything else gradually stabilized. Lin rode Grace around the city to confirm that the commotion everywhere had subsided. Yuffie stayed in the previous courtyard, using magic to heal the traces of the previous battle. That was
It was the residence that Boyan arranged for them. Not long ago, Lin had a sudden idea to transform it into the architectural style of Qi State and transplanted their fruit trees, hoping to remind Shuiyun of her hometown.
Of course, it didn't have much effect in the end - it was still a battle that decided the outcome.
But it's not bad. The culture that once belonged to the Yanwu clan should not be completely buried in dust and history. Maybe in a few decades, this style will become popular again, Yuffie thought with anticipation.
After everything came to an end, the two learned about what happened outside the garden from Bo Yan and Kong.
After Zuo Xiang Taoyue's death, most of the officials who originally supported him gave up their resistance, while a few insisted that Kong was a scourge to the empire and asked Bo Yan to remove her from her post. No matter which one, they all received the same treatment——
Kong's spell enveloped everyone, causing them to fall into a deep sleep.
"When they wake up, they will only remember Qingyi's Right Prime Minister." The nine-tailed monster explained, "This is for their own good. Moreover, after finishing the remaining work at hand, I will retire and return to my hometown."
That is of course just an excuse.
Sora's lifespan is not as long as Kanna's, but there are still thousands of years to say nothing of aging. Yuffie can understand her thoughts. Compared with the position of right minister, what Sora really cares about is for her to become the "King of Darkness" and protect her.
The entrustment between the Empire and the "Pale Hand".
Now that Moment is dead, the assassins of the "Shadow Division", excluding those who were subdued by Kong, most of them were killed by Fister's arrows of light while trying to invade the inner city. Shuiyun left the empire with his clansmen, and as for Wei Feng -
-According to Kong, he plans to stay with Shuiyun, because protecting humans from the demon clan is still the oath he sticks to.
The "Earth Department" will provide enough drinking water and other supplies to help the people gathered outside Xin'an City safely return to their hometowns or reach the territory of the alliance. After that, they will continue to operate their original industries or find more suitable jobs.
About half of the members of the "Mist Club" chose to leave with Shui Yun, while the remaining ones took back their original identities and started another phase of their lives.
Overnight, the huge organization that had lasted for more than two hundred years came to an end. Yuffie still remembered Sora's relaxed tone at that time, but his eyes were slightly lonely.
"You have to endure hardships and serve your country with loyalty." There was a trace of nostalgia in the voice of the blond woman, "The solid oaths made back then have been eroded by the wind hundreds of years later." She breathed out, "I have finally regained my freedom."
"What happens after that?" Lin asked curiously, "Where will you go?"
"First go to Baishen Mountain and stay with Kanna for a while." Sora replied, "Then, I will probably go to the alliance to become an elder, and help that little girl a little by the way."
Lin showed an expression of surprise. Yuffie gave a gentle salute and thanked her on behalf of Anya.
In order to settle Shuiyun's people as soon as possible, Anya returned to the alliance that afternoon. Her dream had just begun. For humans and monsters to live in peace and even understand each other, there were still countless obstacles and twists and turns that needed to be overcome.
Kanna and Feist have great power, but the winter monster is alone, and "Asan" of Suzuran Village is not a monster. As the highest ranking "Kyuubi" in the spirit fox clan, what is the value of Sora's promise?
, you can understand without thinking carefully.
"There's no need to thank me. If it weren't for the little girl's efforts, maybe the ending of "Pale Hand"... would be even worse than it is now." Kong sighed softly and raised his hand to brush the long hair beside his ears, "That boy Wei Feng, let's go.
You didn't come to ask me before." Her expression was a mixture of disappointment and joy, "But I guess I saw the right person."
"It's a pity that Leia died." Lin blinked, looking a little regretful, "otherwise, the conflict between the two of them would probably be resolved this time, right?"
Yuffie nodded lightly. She also felt sorry for the young man's fate, but the people and events in the past needed to be remembered, but there was no need to be sad about them - she knew that her friends thought the same way.
"For Wei Feng's sake." She raised her head and met Kong Kong's gaze, "If Leia comes back from reincarnation, you have to help take care of her."
The blond woman looked at her with a smile in her ice blue eyes.
"At that time, I will be responsible for finding him and delivering him to that kid and Shui Yun."
…
As night fell, the noisy and busy day returned to tranquility. The two walked along the street, which had returned to normal, towards Fleischer's workshop.
Except for the stalls that were knocked over by oneself in a hurry, Xin'an City suffered almost no damage. The people who were talking enthusiastically stayed on the streets. They were encouraged and celebrated by the victory of 'humanity', and it also made the street vendors smile.
The storyteller stood on a high-backed chair and danced around telling famous jokes, surrounded by onlookers; the candy painter, holding a small copper spoon, quickly painted the faces of emperors from past dynasties, and was sold almost immediately.
Rune technology makes both sides of the street brightly lit, belonging to the prosperity of this capital, as if it had not been revealed until this moment.
Yuffie and Lin held hands and looked at the street scene quietly. The pedestrians near the doll workshop gradually became thinner, but the laughter still came from the distance. All of this was due to the efforts of many people, including the two of them. Because of this
, she seemed to be able to feel the mood of the people in the city and even the city.
She knocked on the door. Gypsophila opened the door and greeted them with a warm smile.
"Welcome home," she said, "Mother and Feist went out together and will probably be back soon."
Then she returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare the meal for that night. Renee huddled on the soft chair holding a thick book, showing a thoughtful expression from time to time. Lapis Lazuli and Malachite sat opposite each other, sipping tea and bowing their heads.
They were talking loudly. Noka Mein stayed on the other side of the long table, wearing a thick brown leather jacket and holding a round helmet in his arms, waving to several people happily.
"Hey, how about my new 'airplane'!" He jumped down from the chair, "You must not have thought of it, right?"
By the way, the Gurno people have restored their original appearance, but their bodies are still dolls. The blank doll made by "Luo Zhen" already has this function. Compared with the dragon's transformation or Lily's talent, it cannot
Essentially changing the species makes it easier to use.
"I really didn't expect the way you 'landed'." Lin glared at the Gurno man, "Fortunately you didn't crash in Xin'an City, otherwise it might have been treated as a new attack."
"What a crash!" Noka shouted angrily, "It was just attitude control at low speed. It just happened... a little accident! Besides, all the crew members escaped safely, and the plane only suffered minor injuries. It needs some repairs.
Then you can set sail again!”
"Okay." The blond girl raised her eyebrows, "Let me take a look at your design. Maybe I can figure out where the problem lies."
"How can anyone carry something like that with them!" Noka complained, turned and ran to the workshop on one side, "Give me a little while, and I'll draw something similar!"
So the time before dinner flew by.
The long table that day was much more lively than usual. Man Tianxing prepared a lot of dishes - croquettes, braised trotters, fish in vinegar, stir-fried lotus root, fish ball soup, and crispy, pagoda-like sesame cakes.
Lin also joined in the fun and made Oren Empire style scrambled eggs and thinly sliced fried chicken breast.
"The Rune Technology stove is great, but I still like to use a crucible for cooking." She murmured as she brought the dishes to the table.
Fleisher took out the treasured moonshine wine and poured the silver crystal liquid into everyone's cup. This wine is a specialty of the Elna people. It is made from purple moon grass in the breeze forest and several kinds of berries mashed and mixed.
After sealing, place it in the open air for seven days, and then bury it in the ground for at least one year. It tastes slightly sour at first, and then the sweetness spreads along the tip of the tongue and blends into every breath. Even if you drink it until you are slightly drunk, your body will not feel hot, as if you are sleeping in
The treetops in the forest, bathed in the night breeze and clear silver, make people feel peaceful.
Yuffie did not ask about the origin of the wine. Luo Zhen's daughter had the ability to cultivate the flowers and plants of the El continent, and even simulate the wonderful environment of the Breeze Forest. However, she had never seen any familiar plants in the flower garden outside the door. The occasion of reunion and separation
, There is no value in mentioning these, she said to herself.
Noka's loud voice was as loud as ever, and even the magical wine could not calm him down. Fleur spent most of the time listening, occasionally answering a sentence or two. Lin and Gypsophila exchanged cooking experiences, and Yuffie sat on the green
Beside Jin Shi, listen to her tell about hundreds of years of experience, and Malachite's comments from time to time.
Renee sat on the high chair and leaned on Fleur's shoulder, her sapphire-like pupils reflected many figures, her eyes were as calm as water and as warm as night.
"Next, where do you want to go?" Lin asked her softly after a while.
"Use the gifts Kong gave us to go to your kindred. Then, through them, you can find the future that belongs to the past." The pink girl replied with a smile, "But tonight, let us have a good rest."
When everything returned to silence, as promised, Yuffie and Lin visited Renee's bedroom.
