After returning home from Viscount Gray Linte's residence in Queens, Forsi immediately threw himself on the sofa. Although he didn't run much today, Forsi still felt like he could absorb all the fatigue from the previous ten days in one breath.
The desire to slow down.
But soon, she seemed to notice something again. She turned her head in a somewhat awkward manner and looked at Xio, who was looking through the books borrowed from Viscount Graylingt. She asked in surprise:
"Aren't you going to get your reward?"
Yes, reward. After finally completing the strike mission today, shouldn't Xio rush to collect the information related to his father?
Judging from her usual attitude, even if she was exhausted, she would never think of "waiting until tomorrow"! Not to mention that she still had the energy to read miscellaneous books.
Or...Xio is actually lying to himself?
"You said the information, I have already obtained it. The other party told me the information first, and then assigned the task." Xio seemed to casually flip through the "History of the Nobles of the Kingdom of Loen" in his hand, without any intention of raising his head.
But soon she seemed to remember something again, and said strangely:
"Speaking of which, aren't you having a writers' circle meeting tonight?"
"Changing the subject? How can such important information be shipped first and then paid for?" Forsi was a little wary, but did not say anything. Instead, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then said:
"There is one more person who has disappeared. Let me rest for a while."
"Oh, go to sleep then, I'll call you later." Xio nodded and continued reading.
Forsi was a little surprised that Xio, who was usually so reckless, could be so calm. She knew that she wouldn't be able to find any flaws if she stayed there any longer, so she simply closed her eyes and took a nap. It wasn't until Xio's call came that she tidied up her clothes.
, leaving the belongings that he usually brings to parties and leaving the house.
However, Forsi did not go far, but stayed in the dark corner, waiting quietly. In her opinion, Xio should come out soon.
…
Forsi didn't know that Xio was really not lying this time, because she had received Miss Audrey's generous reward today, and she planned to be promoted to Sheriff first, and then go to Mr. Snow to settle the account.
I had no idea that my best friend was waiting for her to go out in the cool breeze of early autumn. She was just leaning on the sofa, lighting up the gas lamp, and enjoying the first leisure time that she had not enjoyed in a long time.
This continued for more than ten minutes, and Xio suddenly felt that the hard cover was a little strange, so he carefully checked it, found the middle layer, and pulled out the old piece of paper that Audrey had prepared for her.
The front of the paper is covered with special symbols created by Emperor Russell, and a piece of ancient Hermes is written on the back.
…
"Why haven't you come out yet? Am I overthinking it?" Forsi, who had been frozen in the slightly cold fog of Backlund for a long time, finally lost her temper. She considered the possibility that she was overthinking.
While secretly using extraordinary abilities to return home.
Then, she saw Xio, who looked as if he was about to cry, and kept taking deep breaths to adjust his emotions.
"What's going on? Did she use some so-called messenger to communicate with someone before, and got a very bad reply?"
The keen-eyed Forsi caught a glimpse of an old piece of paper in front of Xio with something unclearly written on it. He immediately made a guess in his mind and walked up immediately, wanting to comfort this roommate who seemed to be more fragile than ever before, but...
"Ouch!"
A familiar scream spread in the room, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Xio immediately stopped his subconscious attack and looked down at his best friend, who was rolling on the ground with his belly in his arms.
Ersi.
"Forsi, why are you back?" The corner of Xio's mouth twitched slightly, and then he asked, but the tearful Forsi did not answer immediately, but waited for a while before recovering from the elbow strike.
After regaining his composure, he said in a cold sweat:
"I just...just came back, Xio, are you crazy? You didn't even see clearly and you did it? And you do it so hard!"
"Didn't you go to the party? How did I know you were coming back so soon?" Xio asked a little embarrassed, but Forsi frowned and realized that the matter was not simple, because Xio didn't seem to realize that he was not leaving.
Coming in through the door?
"How could such a mistake be made?" Forsi muttered in disbelief, then frowned and said:
"Even if I scared you, your reaction would be too intense, right?"
But to Forsi's surprise, Xio actually argued forcefully: "This is just a normal reaction!"
When Forsi encountered this kind of situation in the past, she would basically choose to keep Xio's privacy, but something was really wrong with Xio recently, so she did not take him away, but took advantage of her lying on the ground to quickly take it away.
He picked up the piece of paper that fell in front of Xiu and said:
"What's this?"
"Don't look!" Xio let out an unprecedented scream, which shocked Forsi. At the same time, he took the paper back with force and wanted to tear it up immediately, but he seemed to have some scruples. After all,
He didn't do anything, he just stuffed it behind his back like a child, as if he thought he could hide it this way.
"Xio, there's something wrong with you!" Forsi's expression immediately became serious when she saw Xio's abnormal behavior. In her impression, ever since she met this best friend, even when she was at her most vulnerable, she had no
Such a gaffe.
Forsi knew that this matter was probably not trivial, so he quickly got up despite the dull pain still coming from his abdomen, and looked at Xio with solemn and concerned eyes:
"What happened?"
"It's really nothing..." Xio muttered weakly, but seeing Forsi's serious look, he knew that he couldn't hide it, but he still folded the old paper several times and completely covered it.
He hid the ancient Hermes language, and then told Fors about the fact that he had silently recited the honorary name written in the Ancient Hermes language without thinking.
"You, where is your brain?" Forsi's head was pounding, but she also knew that it was time to comfort her, so she sighed and said in as calm a tone as possible: "It should be fine, there should be nothing.
The ceremony is not complete, and who knows whether it is true or not... By the way, do you remember that honorable name? As long as it is not one of those well-known evil gods or hidden existences, it shouldn't be a big problem... For example, I hear it every full moon
Some weird babbles, aren’t they fine now? Well, why are you crying?”
