"Ah...I'm finally home."

After I parked the car at the door, I hurriedly jumped out of the car, and then took my salute from the back seat.

"I missed dinner time, what should I do?" Diana also asked as she got out of the passenger seat with a tired look on her face.

"If you miss it, you'll miss it. It doesn't matter if you're late." After I locked the car, I looked at the villa. There were only a few night lights on, and it seemed that no one was inside. Then I pulled Diana into the living room.

It was only Diana and I who went home today. Ruby stayed at Liz's house for the night. It seemed that she had played too much with Polly this afternoon. When we went to pick her up in the evening, we found that she had already fallen asleep with Polly.

, simply did not pick her back.

We were very tired this afternoon, and we spent the whole afternoon with Chris planning tomorrow's operations. It seemed that the problem of the mysterious underground tunnel was very serious, so Aurora planned to let the four forces present

An operation of cooperative exploration and in-depth investigation. Almost all the specific preliminary preparations were handled by Aurora and Chris. Before evening, a team of nearly 200 people had rushed to camp near the hill. Among them

These are just the soldiers responsible for combat, and there are almost 500 workers behind them for tunnel excavation and camp construction. In addition, Chris has also dispatched some support from several nearby cities.

, but it’s not clear how many people can be mobilized.

Almost all members of the library on Avrola's side are going to play. They are not only civilian scholars, but also some powerful magicians. As for Meryl Gil, Servain said that he would send a group of envoys.

11 rangers from the group participated together, and a message was also sent to the Nafal Forest to send an additional number of elf magicians and archers.

It always takes only one afternoon for everyone to form a temporary alliance, and almost quickly complete an action plan. The core of this plan is Diana and I. As the Chosen Ones, we have become the key to this team.

Although I didn't see how important the two of us were, since they were so prepared, I didn't have anything to say. In the whole afternoon, I almost only made a few trivial suggestions, but on the contrary, Diana

It was because she was so busy that she was so tired.

"Why haven't I seen those little guys in the past two days? They all went out to play?" I stood at the balcony door of the living room and looked at the empty bird's nest and said.

"They are patrolling the forest these days and are very busy." Diana threw away her salute and then slumped on the sofa and said lazily.

"It seems like no one is really at home. I'll go up and take a look." I said this and ran upstairs.

After checking around the second floor, I found that Savina was not found. It seemed that she would not come back tonight. I suddenly became interested and tiptoed downstairs and quietly came behind Diana's sofa.

Hug her.

"It looks like we are the only two at home tonight..."

Diana glared at me lazily, but said nothing.

"How about taking a bath to relax first?" I suggested excitedly.

"Hold me up...I'm too lazy to move." Diana slowly raised her hand and touched my neck.

"okay."

A few minutes later, in the brightly lit bathroom on the second floor, Diana and I were soaking in the bathtub, eating snacks and chatting. It was getting late anyway, and Diana was too lazy to make dinner, so tonight we could only

Just eat some snacks and make do.

"By the way, Erica, why don't you agree to command the team today?" Diana said, lying on her back and floating on the water of the bathing pool.

"I'm not suitable." I replied after taking a sip of Coke and biting into a shredded squid.

"Why?"

"You see, since I started assassinating the Baron with you, the plan I made has never been fully implemented. Various accidents will always happen to change the plan in the middle. This shows that the plan I specified is full of loopholes." I said.

After that, I moved my body and tried to imitate Diana to let myself float, but after trying several times without success, I simply gave up.

"But I don't want to be bossed around by anyone but you."

"It doesn't matter, Eve is pretty good. Look at her performance this afternoon. From coordinating supplies to making plans, her performance in this area was completely beyond my expectations. In my opinion, she is very suitable for this.

As for me, I am just an ordinary soldier, just a machine gunner in the team, so it is enough to do my job well."

"Yeah, she's really good at this..." Diana swung her legs and floated to my side, then lay down on the edge of the bath and said, "Do you think it's dangerous down there?"

"I'm not sure if it's dangerous or not, but the radiation we encountered yesterday was enough to stress me out."

"Didn't you say it's not very powerful?"

"It's really not very powerful, but there's something I haven't told you yet." I swallowed the shredded squid in my mouth, stood up, and came to Diana's side and said, "Hex once penetrated me secretly.

Those radiation sources are not natural products."

"Isn't it natural? Could it be..."

"Man-made. Someone or some organization under the tunnel made those things, and I'm afraid they are very purposeful."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Diana stood up quickly and grabbed my arm and said, "What about the prevention method?"

"I don't know. I don't have any good means now. But if it's prevention, it's easy or hard to say. After all, there is no radiation area that must be passed through. Maybe it can be avoided. And if it's about prevention,

As for defense against nuclear radiation..." I looked at Diana with a grimace and said helplessly: "My method is not as effective as your magic. I was worried about asking Hex to get me some way to defend against nuclear radiation.

, but later Severna quietly told me that most of the guardian magic can be resisted, and even if the body is severely injured by nuclear radiation, it can be healed by magic."

Faced with my answer, Diane was suddenly stunned, then lay back down with a smile, and then floated her body to the water and said, "Sure enough, magic is better."

"Hey, what you said is a bit biased. In my opinion, technology is the greatest power." I was dissatisfied and rushed towards Diana.

Diana reacted very quickly. She swam away quickly before I could pounce on me, and then she used water magic to create a burst of water that hit me and almost sank to the bottom of the pool. And I

Not intending to show weakness, he sank quickly and swam to her feet, dragging her into the water.

The two of us made a fuss in the bath for a while before we climbed out of the bath out of breath. After a simple wash, as the "loser", I had no choice but to let the "winner" do what she wanted, drying her and massaging her.

Finally, after struggling for more than an hour, I carried her back to the bedroom.

When I carried her into the bedroom, I accidentally saw the wall near the dressing table. There were several Polaroid photos posted there. I held Diana and slowly walked over because there was a picture on it.

The photos are really eye-catching.

"What's wrong?" Diana asked lazily.

"You posted this?!"

"Which...hey...when was it taken?" Diana blushed and jumped out of my arms.

The photos on the wall are all from our life here. The first one is the photo of the two of us in front of the villa, and the latest one is a few snapshots from the birthday party that night, but one of them

The photo was not taken by either of us, because the content in the photo was the embarrassing incident of me and Aurora standing naked in the yard before the banquet.

"Ruby took the photo... I thought she had destroyed it..." I said uncomfortably, "I bribed her with three pieces of chocolate to destroy it..."

"Hmm... Look, you were still smiling at that time... and you don't want to repent." Diana pointed at me in the photo angrily and said.

"Do you think this is a joke? I'm almost crying."

"Why didn't I see it?"

"You!!" I looked at Diana with a smile on her face angrily, and then I was silent for a while.

"But this photo is really good. The angle and light are very good. You can see your body clearly... Ah, what are you going to do?"

I hugged Diana and threw her on the bed, then said with a wicked smile: "Want to see it? Then I'll let you see it to your heart's content!"

After saying that, I took off my yukata and threw myself on it.

At the same time, on the mountain peak near Severna Temple, Severna was leading Desmo and a large number of divine servants into the stone palace.

"Master, the time has come." Desmo walked to Severna and handed over a crystal bottle.

Severna took the crystal bottle and came to the edge of the pool in the center of the palace. She played with the bottle in her hand and then looked at the water surface under her feet that was constantly emitting white light.

"Are you all awake?" Savina asked thoughtfully, looking at the pool.

But no one answered Severna's question. At least Desmo and others behind her stood quietly with their heads bowed and said nothing. As Severna's words fell, the light in the pool became brighter.

many.

"Quiet." Severna suddenly shouted, and then there were some ripples on the water, and then the light on the water returned to normal.

"I don't want to know what happened to you in the past, nor do I care how your hometown died." Severna paused and then walked to the edge of the pool and said, "I will give you a chance to be reborn."

After the words fell, the light in the pool shone again, but it didn't take long for the light to return to normal again.

"I will send you to a new world, a world of primitive civilization, and you will live there as a brand new race."

When Severna finished saying this, the light in the pool suddenly weakened a lot.

"Don't worry. Although the civilization there is primitive, it is much safer than Drahm." Severna smiled after finishing speaking, and then continued: "Of course, this is not mandatory. If you don't want to continue living, I will

It can bring you back to peace."

After finishing speaking, Severna began to walk around the pool. When she returned to the starting point again, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you really didn't disappoint me. I will allow you to retain part of the knowledge, and I will also allow you to retain complete memories and even give you new powers. But you must take responsibility and take care of each other and these years.

Young ones, and must also obey your new master."

Severna paused for a long time again, and the light in the pool also flickered for a while.

"It's not me. I have no interest in being your master. Don't excessively ask for favors from others. You have never been my people, and I have never ruled Drahhem, so I don't need these false piety.

"

The light in the pool kept flickering, but as time slowly passed, it finally returned to calm. And Severna smiled and nodded again.

"very good."
