"It was so noisy outside just now..." Looking at Erica returning to the car, Diana, who had just woken up, asked casually: "Did some conflict happen?"

"No... not really." After thinking about it for a moment, Erica couldn't help but said amusedly: "A little misunderstanding, um... By the way, where does the surname Vermeulen come from?"

Diana didn't react much when she heard the name at first, but later when the carriage stopped at the door of the villa where they lived, she remembered who the last name was.

"Oh, Vermeulen... I remembered it. It's the surname of a certain master of the Alchemist Association, and... it seems that she is also the head of the branch here in Trikla City. And her father is still with me.

The reincarnation of the same generation, I have heard this name in the Council of Sages." After Diana stepped out of the carriage, she looked back at Erica and asked: "Did you just meet her?"

"Uh... maybe." Erica shook her head uncertainly, because she felt that the person Diana just talked about was not the stubborn eldest lady. After all, there was some age incompatibility. But since the other person

He also had this surname, so Erica naturally thought that the other person might be the heir of that master. So after thinking for a while, Erica said what happened at the door just now.

As they talked, the two entered the annex of the palace. Under the arrangement of a group of maids, Erica and Diana took a quick shower and then came to the entrance of the annex restaurant.

"I think your guess is correct. The girl's age also fits this status. This surname is also very famous in the principality, and I remember that Brenx Vermeulen should be related to a certain person.

The nobles are getting married. It seems that the girl should be her child. As for the title of 'Dean' that the soldier mentioned... I don't know about this. After all, I don't know much about Tricla. Maybe Will

Master Mellen is called that because of what organization he is running now." Diana leaned into Erica's arms and raised her head and asked: "If you are curious, let's go find someone to ask? The maids here should know.

"

"Forget it, don't be in a hurry, I'm just a little curious anyway." Erica shook her head and held Diana in her arms, pushed the door open and entered the restaurant that was already full of people, and said: "Let's have dinner first, we have time anyway.

adequate."

When Erica and Diana both entered the restaurant, they found that everyone had already started eating. The huge restaurant was brightly lit, and the long, broad and gorgeous table was filled with a large number of mouth-watering delicacies. Even the maids

They also luxuriously placed two portions of roasted whole lamb in the center of the long table.

Of course, it is different from the gimmick that Erica saw in restaurants in Eastern Europe in the past, where the whole sheep is grilled directly with the head and hooves included. The roasted whole sheep here is actually just called that, and it is actually put on the grill.

The lamb in the big tray is cut up, grilled separately, and then put together on the tray. Almost every part of this unique delicacy is grilled in a different degree, in a different technique, and even in the use of spices. For this reason, this

Two portions of roast lamb were indeed one of the most beloved staples on this table. Even Puffy, who rarely eats greasy food, couldn't stop eating a large piece of lamb ribs.

I heard that this is a special delicacy in the north of the principality. I didn’t taste it when I was in Da Caron last time for some reasons, but I don’t know who ordered this delicacy specially this time or it is used locally to entertain guests.

A set menu feast. In short, Erica could tell from Liz who was munching on lamb chops that this delicacy seemed to be truly deserved. It was only when Erica took Diana to sit down that she realized that Liz

It seems that we ate a little too much tonight, because from the pile of bones on the dining cart that the maids just took away, we can see that the two portions of mutton on the table are actually the second set. It seems that there should be two portions before, but they have been taken away.

Some people at the table were wiped out like a whirlwind.

Ruby definitely had a share, which can be judged from the traces of various spices on the little guy's mouth. Then there was Thranil, but due to her current condition and taste, she ate more of

For the sweets on the table, it can be understood that most of the mutton just was divided between Liz and Ruby. Fortunately, Liz seemed to be full now, so she put down her knife and fork.

She began to wipe her hands with a wet napkin, and then looked at Erica who was sitting directly opposite her very alertly.

"Don't worry, you don't need to train tonight, just have a good rest." Erica casually inserted a whole roasted leg of lamb and put it on her plate, then looked up at Li who was about to dance to express her happiness.

Zi added: "But remember to go out and jog twice around the palace garden later. After all, you ate too much tonight. Be careful that you will vomit when you go to bed at night."

"No..." Liz sat back on the chair again with a bitter look on her face. At this time, Puffy beside her pulled her arm and said, "Don't worry, I will prepare some medicine for you to help."

You digest food."

"Oh, I knew you were the best to me, Puffy." Liz hugged Puffy with ulterior motives and then deliberately turned her head to look at Erica.

"Well... then that's the case..." Erica chewed the mutton in her mouth until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, then blurted out: "Then add ten more laps, it doesn't matter, I will run with you."

Liz immediately wilted, then lay weakly in Puffy's arms and sobbed silently. But it seemed that she was just pretending, after all, if she really wanted to cry, she would probably shed her tears and snot and not wipe her mouth.

All the clean grease rubbed into Puffy's arms. Moreover, what Puffy wore today were new clothes that everyone bought together when they were shopping in Da Kalon a few days ago. Judging from Puffy's somewhat mysophobic character,

, if Liz really did this, then she would probably throw Liz out unceremoniously.

While gnawing on the leg of lamb, Erica was disappointed after looking at the two people's seemingly intimate behavior. Then she stopped paying attention to these two guys and concentrated on eating. After all, she didn't feel that much today.

She was tired, but in the final analysis, she had accompanied Liz on a 10-kilometer long run, and her physical strength was naturally consumed to a certain extent. In order to quickly replenish her physical strength, she subconsciously started to gorge herself again. Although her companions

We are more or less used to Erica's rough eating style and appetite, but for Galeni and the maids in the restaurant, this scene is still a bit scary. After all, this only takes a cup of tea.

Ka had already eaten a whole plate of roast lamb, and her belly hadn't even bulged yet.

Jialaini has not fully recovered from motion sickness and has no appetite, so she had to eat a few fruits and a glass of milk before leaving the table. When she passed behind Selen Niel, the little guy was still a little uncomfortable.

She reluctantly looked back at her, but at this moment Serenir was not trying to stick to Jialani out of instinct, but had become more familiar with her after an afternoon of company. Jialani had never

From a personal point of view, I really like this little dragon girl who has turned into a human form, but because at this moment, Aphraola, who is in the extremely possessive stage next to Serenir, cast a malicious look at her, Hou Jia

Lenny finally walked away disappointed.

After all, judging from Galeni's current understanding of the structure of his sister's strange team, the little girl from Algasburg is the owner of this giant dragon cub. For this reason, there is no point in trying to snatch it from her.

Meaning. And I am actually not good at having any contact with dragons, because the only close behavior between Selenier and her is mostly like a snake wrapped around her body.

Diana also left the restaurant with Galeni at this time. She didn't have much appetite tonight, so she just ate a few fruits and vegetables and then planned to go to the bathroom with Galeni to take a dip. By the way, the two sisters

There are still some words left unfinished.

Erica looked at the two people leaving the table without saying anything. Then she took advantage of taking the newly brought food to look at Miss Thea sitting on the other side of her. She still looks very reserved, especially

Diana, the only one she relied on now, seemed even more flustered after she left early, but fortunately Ruby got stuck with her inexplicably, so she seemed less unfamiliar at this dinner table. Maybe it was Diana's order, or maybe

For some other reason, in short, Ruby now seems to have to rely on Thea to help take care of her just like she pestered Erica in the first place. Although this does seem to help the team's integration, Erica

Ka, however, felt a little unbalanced inside.

In fact, although she appears to be the core and leader of the team, in fact Erica is still the original mercenary with a somewhat withdrawn personality. The so-called filling of the core and leadership is just a barely disguised appearance, and

She also thinks that she is not this material. In addition, the series of incidents in the past were not solved to a good level. For this reason, Erica still has no confidence in herself. The only person she can regard as a spiritual support is

It's just Diana who can always make herself feel at ease.

It is true that this table is still very lively. Although everyone is sitting on it, talking and laughing, Erica does not feel that she has integrated into it. At the moment, she is just eating in silence and observing everyone's status.

, and after quickly filling his stomach, he silently left the restaurant and returned to the room.

After entering the guest room, Erica looked around the empty large bedroom. At this time, Diana's suitcase was opened, so Erica speculated that Diana should have gone to the bathroom to take a bath with Galani. Although Erica

After a hearty meal, Ka wanted to take a comfortable hot bath, but now she still felt that she needed to exercise. For this reason, she simply changed into casual clothes that were convenient for exercise and went to the restaurant outside the annex alone.

In the palace garden.

This is another part of the entire Garden Palace facilities. It is precisely because it is a garden that this palace used to entertain distinguished guests is called the "Garden Palace". This huge garden consists of several small gardens of different styles.

Compared with the palace building, it accounts for nearly two-thirds of the entire facility. Even Erica once heard from the maids in the annex that there is a large artificial lake at the end of the garden, so the entire garden is

This shows the area covered. However, since the palace is a group of buildings built in the inner city, the layout of the entire palace and gardens naturally needs to be built in a fan-shaped pattern due to the block influence of urban planning.

For this reason, many gardens are also distributed around the center of the central building with emphasis on the two sides. The garden where Erica used to exercise tonight is located directly behind the palace, so it is the smallest one in scale.

, and according to Erica's visual inspection, it is almost slightly smaller than a football field, so running more than ten laps is not a problem for Erica.

Erica came to the edge of the dimly lit garden alone, and after doing some warm-up exercises, she began to run quickly around the garden. Since there were no light sources in many parts of the garden, Erica

You also need to use your weak night vision ability to judge the route and various obstacles while running. After a while, the various nocturnal animals in the garden were frightened by the noise of Erica's fast running and began to flee in all directions.

, suddenly also caused some guests who were also walking in the garden corridor to become alert.

Kate Wallish led several female garrison members to light a magical halo somewhere inside the garden, and then the running figure of Erica appeared in the halo.

"Oh, it turns out it's her..." Kate stared at Erica who was running quickly and said, "Erica the Chosen One..."

"Ah? So she is that person?" A very young female sergeant from the garrison came over to look at Erica interestingly and said, "Hey? She is running so fast? What is she doing?"

"Exercise, what else can you do?" Another very strong female sergeant glanced at Erica and said: "I heard that she has neither magic nor any obvious combat power. Her only combat ability is to use

A bunch of various weapons from another world... I guess she may have realized her weaknesses and planned to exercise."

"What you said is too biased." Kate smiled sweetly and then narrowed the range mapped by magic and said: "She has run around the garden three times in a while, and the speed has not slowed down. On the contrary, it has increased.

Improved, and her breathing and heartbeat are also very stable... Do you think you can do this?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." The muscular female officer sighed in surprise: "It's so exaggerated... Our intelligence is wrong... Or is she not human at all?"

"Who knows." Kate sighed and shook her head. Then she turned off the magic and said: "Let's go back. There are orders from above that we should try not to have contact with the chosen ones in the near future.

Why don't we change a place? I heard that there is an artificial lake in that place to the east, do you want to go and have a look?"

All the ladies officers nodded in agreement, and then everyone packed up the blankets, seats, and various drinks and tea sets that had been laid out, and everyone took the opportunity to leave from the opposite direction when Erica had just run the fourth lap.

Garden and quickly flew towards their destination.

However, just as they were leaving, Erica, who was far away on the other side, also noticed their departure.

"Are you leaving?" Erica ran for more than half a circle without slowing down, then looked at the direction they were leaving and muttered: "The speed is really fast, did you use some magic? Or is it Al?

Are the physical abilities of Gasberg’s soldiers so exaggerated?”

Erica cleared her mind for a moment and then continued running. After all, she planned to finish the remaining 16 laps within 10 minutes. The reason why she cared so much about time was to test her extreme physical ability.

Rika felt that her physical ability had never reached its limit. This abnormal behavior made her feel a little uneasy and panicked, because no matter how she changed, Erica had no intention of becoming something other than a human being, at least in terms of physical fitness.

I am willing to be too far away from the average level of human beings.

In the next fast run, Erica's speed became faster and faster, and in the process of running, she even felt a little dazed that she seemed to have run out of the sound barrier. But in fact, this was just her.

It's just a psychological effect, because she did exceed a certain limit when she ran fast, which caused the oxygen she inhaled to be unable to keep up with the amount, which made her consciousness a little confused.

Fortunately, Erica noticed the burden of physical exertion around the 15th lap, which made her somewhat relieved. At least from then on, she started breathing heavily and sweating profusely all over her body.

The meeting was getting hot. This familiar feeling of fatigue really made Erica feel very excited. The only flaw was that she almost entered the familiar "time slow down" effect unknowingly while running.
