I'm really a crispy French

But this wind...is cold.The kind of coldness that made him want to cheer loudly.

The daytime sky was covered with dark clouds for a short time, and Eldy saw a flash of lightning, followed by a rumbling dull thunder. It took him a while to realize that it was thunder, a prelude to rain, from the evil It has not rained for more than eight years since the beginning.

Some young children huddled in the arms of their parents, looking at the sky timidly: "Mom, are there monsters in the sky?"

"It's rain, it's rain, baby!"

Others were just as excited as Eldy, if not more excited than he was.Even with the isolation and protection of tree-like tentacles, drought is still inevitable, and large areas of plants die. People rely on deep wells for drinking water, or the water magic of mages, but these can only guarantee drinking water within a certain limit, as well as the supply of crops and livestock.

The sky full of dark clouds now is the most beloved vision among the visions of God's War that they have experienced.

When the rain fell, the bean-sized raindrops hit the face, which was actually a little painful, but no one dodged, most of them opened their mouths wide.Even knights and priests shouting that there might be remnants of demonic power in the rainwater couldn't stop them.

"The devil has been defeated! We have won!" Someone suddenly shouted, but no one cheered with him, and everyone looked at him with "ah, another crazy one" eyes.

"Is it Father Hogan?" "Poor, isn't Father Hogan too tired these years?"

——Hogan was also transferred to the front line, but he was transferred here for treatment because of the cursed injury half a year ago.

Eldy was stunned for a moment, he turned to look at Leon: "Really?"

"Well, first the number of demons decreased, and then the crater disappeared, so I'm back."

Eldy felt...his feet were soft, he couldn't breathe, and his mind went blank for a moment.When the blankness disappeared, he found himself leaning against Leon: "Victory. We won..." He couldn't say anything else, he could only repeat it over and over again, his eyes were hot, hot tears and cold tears The rain mingled on the face.

The tentacles stretched out, forming a flat ground, and forming a high dome—like a bowl turned upside down on the ground, and the rainwater hit the tentacles, rushing down.Leon knew that the rain was normal, and he also knew how joyful and crazy those people were, but if he continued to rain, he would get sick.

People sat down, and as soon as they gradually calmed down from the rain, more and more people began to cheer: "The devil is gone back to the abyss!" "We really won!" "Long live the gods!" "We are still alive!" !"

Not only Hogan was shouting, but other priests and knights were shouting, and they came from different churches and had different beliefs.

"Is this...really?" Ordinary people also began to look forward to it, but they couldn't believe it. They looked around, looking for the acting city lord of Hope City, Eldi—and it turned out that the young man was hugging another young man. together.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, there is always a feeling that outsiders cannot penetrate. However, there are always people who have courage.

"Master Eldi! Is the evil disaster over?!"

"End..." Eldy's throat was a little tight, and he swallowed hard, "It's over—!"

This time, the voice was loud enough to startle him, but it was so comforting to say this short sentence like this...

"It's over!!! The devil is going back to hell!" Eldy couldn't help shouting again, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his arms opened.

Those who heard Eldi's shout were silent for a few seconds, and the next moment there was heart-piercing cheers! ! !

"The ground always trembles, but now it suddenly stops. I'm really not used to it." It was three days later, and the heavy rain had just stopped. Everyone put down the tentacles, and Eldy stepped on the ground and stomped a few times.

Leon stands behind Eldi. They have been separated for eight years. Eldi has changed too much. Even at the moment he wakes up, he has already taken back all the memories of his clone, including the one that accompanied Aldi. Erdi's slag has tentacles, but that's not enough. To erdi, slag is like a pet, and what he can see is too one-sided.

"Do you want to sit down on the ball?" Eldy tilted his head and looked at Leon.

"want!"

"Come on then. But I have to use your tentacles to fix me." Eggy sat obediently on the side, and when she heard that she wanted to sit on it, she immediately climbed down.Although Eggy was quite obedient in the first place, now... Eldy patted Eggy's mane, knowing that his big cat was frightened, but it didn't matter, he got used to being scared.

Eggs: QωQ

"Hogan! I'm going to see the situation of the volcano!" Eldy sat in the saddle, and there was a part at the back of the saddle that could be turned up to carry people. Leon sat in, which was fixed.And replaced Eldy's belt with tentacles.

Hogan glanced at Leon, and showed Leon the same silly smile as before, but now wrinkles appeared on his face again: "Okay! Leave this to us! Leon! Welcome back!"

The manticore rushed out, and Eldy waved to those who wanted to follow: "Don't follow!"

"Father Hogan, who is that half-devil?" Hogan pointed to the tentacles that helped them dig the pit. The knight who asked the question took a look, then looked twice carefully, his face flushed immediately, and he looked at Huo Root saluted, "I understand what you mean, and I apologize for my behavior just now. We should now focus on disaster relief instead of thinking about it."

When the knight saluted, Hogan started to have question marks above his head, and when the knight finished speaking a long series of words, Hogan just stared blankly.

No, he wasn't, he didn't, he really didn't think that much about it!

But the knight had already put aside his work with a serious face, and reprimanded several young knights who were equally curious.Hogan thought: OK, that's it, it's fine.

Eggy felt Eldy pull the rein lightly, and stopped immediately.

Leon: "What's wrong?"

"Green..." Nature is tenacious. They haven't gone too far yet. Eldi's impression of this place is the dry and cracked land that can't be seen, but now there are green plants in the brown mud. The grass sprouts popped out, "It's so beautiful."

In fact, even after the rain, the weather is still bad, the temperature of the land has not yet become normal, and the rain has transpired, reminding Eldy of the long-lost steam bath.

"Did you not feel the outside world at all during the dormant period?" Eldy patted the egg, and let the egg move forward slowly this time.

"Ah."

"In the past, they wanted you to go to the front line, and I was persuaded. But you in the magma pool didn't respond, so they organized a team to find you in the crater. The team was full of high-level flames of the God of Fire Knights, they and their mounts can turn into real fire, but they went to the crater once, and when they came back, they didn’t mention taking you away again.”

"Don't go that way."

"Ok?"

"Go to the wharf of the former Hope Village, do you still know where it is?"

Eldy knew there, but after a few days, he couldn't find it, not even the original Hope Village.Because the terrain has been completely changed, the whole ground collapsed.Even if his direction is indeed correct, and the distance is almost here, there is still no trace of Hope Village in the past.

Eldie lays her balls and looks in the direction they came from.It turns out that the land of the Principality of Gretel is a large plain, and even if there are mountains, they are very gentle slopes, which cannot be compared with the high mountains in the north.But now it has completely turned into hills, no, basin terrain.

Eldy didn't know where the center of the depression was, but it probably started at the crater.

"Is the place where we are camping right now on the edge of this new basin?"

"Yes." Leon nodded, "The expansion of the crater is wider than what we saw, and the underground parts, especially the underground waterways, were also invaded and swallowed by lava from the abyss. In many places, the underground waterways were burst by lava. Connected into one piece. When the lava is there, there is some support for the ground, and I will also support the ground. When the lava is not there, I have no need to continue to support, so the top collapsed."

Those on the ground and underground are actually within the scope of the volcano, which is equivalent to nearly three Diller cities. If it wasn't so big, Leon would not choose to sleep.

"..." Eldi looked at the scene and was silent for a while, then he turned and stretched out his hand to Leon, "Can I hug you?"

"Yes." Leon also reached out to him, so the two teenagers hugged together again.

"Does it hurt?"

"what?"

"Does it hurt when you're in the flames?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Eldy hugged a little tighter, and he asked a silly question, even if Leon was really in pain, he couldn't have told him: "I... I am much stronger now than I was eight years ago, and I can protect you gone."

"Well, I know." Leon patted Eldy on the back.

"I... let's go." There was still a lot to say, but it was becoming so difficult to even utter a single word now.Promises, oaths, these things are all about the future, but what will happen in the future, as they are now, they are not qualified to make a conclusion immediately.

The situation in Hope Village is like this. The real former volcanic center will only be worse, and there is no value in checking it out. However, Eldi doesn't want to go back. He wants to live with Leon for a while without outsiders after a long separation. In the quiet life.

Anyway, they still had enough food, enough to support the two of them going out for a month and a half - there was a pocket with constant storage magic on the side of Eggy's saddle, which was stuffed with coarse grain biscuits and dried meat of the March ration.This is just in case, the things that every knight and priest have will be taken out and replaced with fresh ones every six months, and the old ones will be eaten as rations.

Don't look at how big Eggy is. It has a body, but it is actually a semi-spiritual creature. It only needs to eat a small part of ordinary food, and its growth and activities rely more on Eldi's own strength.Otherwise, it wouldn't have grown so big in eight years. A normal manticore is a super monster that is only one step lower than a giant dragon. It is a long-lived species, and it takes 50 years to reach adulthood.

On the road, they were silent most of the time, but this kind of silence did not make people feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, the eight-year estrangement slowly melted away in the silence.

No. 14 days after departure, it snowed.From the day they left Hope City, the temperature has been dropping rapidly, as if to make up for the high temperature of the past eight years.Then today, the Principality of Gretel had the second snow in about 100 years.But the last snow was influenced by divine power and unnatural factors, and this snow is a normal change in the climate.

Leon dug a large pit, or burrow.The three-ton fat cat got in first, then him and Eldy.Although in their condition, it is okay to sleep directly on the ground, but as a human being, there should always be a sense of ritual in life.Especially Leon, he always subconsciously makes himself live more like an ordinary person.

After eating, Eldy was about to lie down on his testy belly, sleeping like he did a few days ago, but Leon gave him a hand.

"What's the matter?" The two of them didn't need to keep watch, after all, there were eggs and tentacles everywhere.

Leon smiled mysteriously, but did not answer: "Follow me."

"?" So the two crawled out of the hole again, and Eggy followed them reluctantly. As soon as he poked his head out, a large snowflake like a butterfly fell on the tip of his nose, making it tremble in fright.Then that snowflake... really flew up like a butterfly.

There were more, and Eldy was surprised to find countless snowflake butterflies, flying up from the snow beside his boots, flapping their wings all the way up.He raised his hand to grab one, and crushed the butterfly directly because of his rough movements, but there were no crushed insect limbs in its leather hand, only a handful of crushed small ice crystals.

"These are snow, how could..."

"Hogan said it was the order of the Winter Goddess. The demons receded, the land was still devastated, and the terrain in many places changed completely." For example, here, "Nature is adjusting itself, and some areas have snow or rain. The climate, but it may also make the local situation worse. So the gods used their divine power to arrange rain and snow."

The snow is still falling, and the snow butterflies are flying.The wind was not strong, and the weak wind made people wonder if it was fanned by butterfly wings.Even though it was night, the surroundings were astonishingly bright, and every snow butterfly drew bright arcs in the air...

"It's so beautiful." Eldy sat directly on the ground.

"Yes." Leon sat side by side with him.

Eggy, who was just frightened, got out of the hole at some point, but her huge body bounced around nimbly, chasing butterflies like an ordinary cat.At the same time... it also caused the ground to tremble.

Eldy rested his head on Leon's shoulder and fell asleep at some point.Tentacles gurgled out, and a shell-shaped canopy was built on top of their heads.

"That's it." In 27 days, they finally reached the center of the volcano. With the speed of the egg, just looking at the distance, it would take half the time for the normal branch line to advance.Even if the dense forest blocked it in the past, it should only have taken more than ten days, but now the closer to the center of the original volcano, the greater the change in terrain.

In particular, there are some deep pits covered with thin stone layers on the road. It is no problem for one or two people to walk through them. Three tons of balls plus two people... will collapse within a few seconds.However, Leon had already found out the way they were going to go, so the tragedy of everyone falling into the pit did not happen.

Because of these pits, Eldy thought that the center of the original volcano would be a similar pit, but he was wrong, it has been filled in, and it has become a mountain. Although it is not too high, it does It's a mountain.They stood on the top of the mountain. Although the surrounding area was covered with heavy snow and was completely white, they could still see the undulations of the surrounding terrain. It felt that the mountain was squeezed out by the mud and stones pouring down from the surrounding area.

"Will there be a big river here in the future?"

Leon found that the direction Eldi was looking at was the direction of the great lake in their territory: "There will be." He said with certainty.

"How about the underground world? I remember...the entrance should be under that mountain?" Eldy pointed in one direction.

"The entrance where Wang Ge and the others came out was buried from the outside, but now there is a new entrance."

"It was shaken out?"

"I dug." Leon shook his head.

"..."

"The Underworld is still useful, and I've found a very safe enclosure, and I'm driving some duergar and mushroom herders there. Before long, we'll have a mine, and a mushroom place of origin."

"You...you are happy." Apart from this, Eldi didn't know what to say.

"Come on, let's go home. Do you want cake? Or fruit pie?"

"No material."

"But how do I know that your kitchen is full of materials? Or at least your kitchen must be full of materials when we get home."

Although animals do not have the intelligence of humans, their instincts can still allow them to survive in certain places.Especially demons, when they see humans or a cow, they will attack humans first. Their criteria for evaluating food seem to be divided by the intelligence of their prey.Therefore, many wild animals survived, including some domestic animals that escaped.

Leon was going to cook a long-lost meal for Eldi, and the moment they were seen by the clones scattered around, their good luck would come to an end.

So what else is there to say?The two jumped on Dandan's back and immediately hoped to leave.

When the two returned to Hope City, the city was bustling with activity.In fact, it was mainly the aristocrats who were bustling. They were all clamoring to leave, and some even came to the officials to demand their property and compensation—referring to those guards, servants, and craftsmen.

City of Hope did not confiscate anyone's property by force, and those precious jewelry or gorgeous clothes were of little value during the catastrophe.The guards of the first batch of rebellious nobles were punished with forced labor, those who behaved well were released, and those who behaved badly were hanged, and the nobles who sought trouble after that were also punished in this way.

Later, the nobles gradually had to let their servants and craftsmen rent out.Later, some servants and craftsmen who signed ordinary employment agreements with the nobles left the nobles and worked to support themselves.There are also some servants who fell out with their masters due to various circumstances and left the nobles.

These servants used to follow the nobles, and they were actually considered the upper class, the group who enjoyed exploiting the lower class.But after coming to Xiaopo Village, Xiaopo Village doesn't look at the nobles in the face of the nobles. The servants and craftsmen have endured all the exploitation of the nobles, and it is natural for the two sides to fall out.

During the catastrophe, the nobles have gradually learned to behave. The servants and craftsmen left as soon as they left, and the big nobles with a large family population oppressed the small nobles.In fact, there is no real little noble who can use the portal, but there is always a difference.In short, I don't know how many families have died quietly.

But now that the calamity is over, in some people's perception, this means that they have resumed their original high life, and they can even go to trouble the City of Hope.

"Very good, I also think that since you are leaving, some things should be settled." Aldi said, looking at the aristocratic representative who was imposing to demand compensation, and then turned around and handed the list submitted by the other party to Hogan "So, because it involves the trial of these property cases, the time for the families on this list to use the portal will be delayed. When will the lawsuit be resolved and when will they be allowed to leave."

The nobleman's face turned blue, he stretched out his arm, pointed at Eldi tremblingly: "You, how dare you?!"

"I dared, and I did." Eldy smiled.

"Papa papa!" A pair of tentacles appeared behind Eldy's seat, clapping passionately at the moment.

The nobleman still wanted to say something, but he looked at the pair of tentacles, his face turned from blue to black, he swallowed what he wanted to say, saluted, and left on the spot.

This is the city hall of Hope Village. There are two side-by-side chairs on the seat of the city lord, which is one step higher.This is a very normal arrangement. There are two chairs above many countries or cities, one for the monarch and the other for the monarch's companion.The only strange thing is that Erdi, who has been exercising the rights of the city lord these years, sits on the right, and also claims to be the acting city lord to the outside world, but the seat on the left has always been vacant.

I hope the old people in the city know that there was once a real lord here, who was also a child as young as the acting lord Aldi.But in order to protect the city and the people in the city, he turned into a tentacles to stop the devil.

However, many newcomers do not believe that the tentacle is a person. They firmly believe that it is the god of nature/the god of light/the god of flowers and trees... In short, it is a miracle from the gods they believe in, or it may be Some kind of divine power.
