At the same time, in the wilderness covered with cold yellow sand, two figures were strolling among the trees.

"I'm telling you, this time I'm going to charge you a serious fee. Hiring me is expensive!"

Sticking out his tongue, Tolan looked at the guy in front of him who was walking with his head down, and made weak accusations.

He didn't know what this guy Mainna was doing. They had been gone for several days, but Mainna hadn't said a word.

The car he brought broke down in the wilderness. Without a means of transportation, he could only rely on his legs to walk. Fortunately, he was not far from Letania, which was good news.

"If you have any questions about money, go to Margaret. She doesn't need it."

Walking on it against the wind and sand, Maenna said nonchalantly.

Most of what was on her mind had been resolved, and Mainna also became interested in joking with Tolan.

Margaret is now capable of taking care of herself, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Besides, he is looking for Snitzer and Yolanta, so they won't give her no funding at all, right?

"I say, is it really okay for you to have your niece come over?"

Tolan said in a low voice as he hurriedly caught up with Mainna.

If it was Margaret, he wouldn't have to worry about anything. After all, her strength was obvious to all, and it would take a lot of effort for Mainna to defeat her.

But Maria...

He is still a child.

"It's always good to go out for a walk. My sister and I can't protect her all the time, and she wouldn't agree..."

"Let's go. We can already see the border wall. It's still the same as before."

"You talk as if you've been here before."

"I've been here before, but I fought my way in."

Volume 8: Chapter 2: Come to Mommy!

Leitania, Shi Tongling.

During the War of the Four Emperors, the Witch King once destroyed an entire Gaul land fleet here with an Originium Storm, which also led to the extremely bad environment after Shi Tongling.

But what appeared before Talina and Maria was a scene of clear sky and bright earth.

"Are you sure we're in the right place?"

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Maria turned around and looked at Talina.

Obviously, she had done some research on Shi Tongling before coming here, but...

The information you know may be outdated.

"Viviana's father is a qualified elector. A lot of land has been affected by the Originium. It would be a shame to abandon it. It's been over a decade, so it's normal to clean it up."

Tightening the belt around her body, Talina raised her chin towards a woman in the distance.

"Let's go, our people are here to pick us up."

After saying that, he walked over first.

"Oh! It's coming!"

Seeing that Talina had left, Maria, who still wanted to take a few more looks at her, picked up her and Talina's luggage and hurried over.

The two looked like a noble lady on a trip and her knight attendant.

"Welcome, Miss Talina, Miss Maria. Viviana asked me to pick you up here. I guess I'm not late?"

The two were greeted by a Ms. Caprini, who was wearing a green suit that looked decent and well-fitted.

"You are punctual, Miss Kela. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Stretching out her right hand, Talina took Kela's hand with a peaceful smile on her face.

She could see that there was a layer of dark shadow on her eyes, which meant that her eyesight was weaker than that of ordinary people.

But even so, she was still sent by Viviana to pick her up, which also indirectly shows the importance of her identity.

Housekeeper? Or some relative?

Still guessing in her mind, Talina followed Kela to a car parked on the street.

Rejecting Kela's offer of help, Talina took Maria to put the luggage in the trunk and then sat in the back seat.

The car's engine started, the scenery on the roadside began to change gradually, and the unique cultural customs of Letania gradually appeared in Talina's eyes.

People with musical instruments can be seen everywhere on the streets, and in the parks they can also be seen playing their favorite music, which seems to have an inexplicable vitality.

but...

It's a bit too "backward".

It was as if Lethannia was still the same as it was a hundred years ago, ruled by the tyrannical Witch-King.

Everything here has a strange vitality, as if it were wound up and lived its life according to the rules.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, but out of trust in Viviana, Talina suppressed this strange feeling and chatted with Kela.

During the conversation, she also gained a preliminary understanding of Kela's identity.

She was neither Werner, Viviana's father's housekeeper, nor a relative; her relationship with Werner was more like that of a friend.

The same goes for Yu Viviana.

More than ten years ago, it was she who sent Viviana to Casimir in the dark.

"The child is very cute, just like Viviana when she was a child. Whether it's the face shape or the eyes, it makes people happy."

With a peaceful smile on his face, Kela gestured and told Talina about Viviana's affairs during this period.

There was a sense of happiness in his words. Talina could feel that the sincerity of the elder in front of her was not fake. She really felt so.

When talking about her own children, Talina also became interested and was busy chatting with Kela, and forgot about Maria beside her.

"Child? When did Miss Viviana get married?"

Maria listened carefully with her eyes wide open, even her ears stood up and trembled as she absorbed the news, afraid that she would miss anything.

She didn't remember Viviana being in love. If she had to name someone Viviana liked, wouldn't it be Talina sitting next to her?

The relationship between the two was very good some time ago, how come Miss Viviana suddenly had a child?

Maria wanted to hear more news, but the car suddenly stopped.

"Come on, we're here."

After interrupting the conversation with Talina, Kela got out of the car first, came to Talina's side and opened the door for her.

The darkness in her eyes did not affect her movements. When Talina reacted, Kelai was standing beside her.

"Someone will help you two pack your luggage. Please follow me first."

Kela's etiquette was impeccable, so Talina had no choice but to follow his instructions and walk down.

Maria followed closely behind, she couldn't wait to meet Viviana's child.

"Is this... Mr. Walner's residence?"

Looking at the...castle in front of us? Talina asked curiously.

What appeared before her was an ancient-looking manor, and in the center was a towering tower that reached into the sky.

Compared with the buildings in Casimir, the buildings in Leithania are somewhat different. Except for the tall tower, the other houses and buildings are roughly the same as the surrounding buildings.

The manor looked a bit depressed. The land outside the yard, which should have been full of green plants and flowers, was barren and looked a bit... desolate.

Before she could continue reading, Maria, who was standing beside her, started to urge her.

"Hurry, hurry! I haven't seen any children yet! Miss Viviana's children must be very cute, right?!"

Maria's little face was full of excitement as her feet stepped rhythmically on each other.

"You should be more restrained... I'll trouble you, Miss Kela."

Turning around helplessly and pinching Maria's face, Talina said to Kela embarrassedly.

"Heh...it's okay, the two of you have a good relationship."

Shaking his head indifferently, Kela opened the door and welcomed Talina and the others in.

As soon as she entered the manor, Talina saw the strange sculptures surrounding the tower.

"Mr. Walner... is the Elector, and this manor was given by the Queen, so there are some things that represent royal status."

Perhaps feeling Talina's gaze, Kela explained considerately.

Talina nodded and then looked away.

The manor looks very big, but there is actually very little filling inside, and there is no decoration except for the sculptures.

The two quickly followed Kela's footsteps and arrived in front of a house.

Kela reached out to open the door, but before her hand touched the handle, the door opened and a black-haired Sakta walked out.

"Good afternoon, Miss Kela."

There was a faint smile between his brows. Although Sakota was greeting her, Talina did not feel that there was not even a trace of emotion in his words.

That’s right, not at all!

Be it joy or disgust, Talina felt nothing at all. She was like a machine, executing pre-set instructions.

Talina, who had been with the Archangel for a long time, thought that all the Sakotas were optimists, but she ended up meeting such a strange guy.

"Mr. Walner's appointment is over, so I won't bother you for now."

Speaking calmly, Sakota looked at Talina and Maria and smiled.

Just like when she faced Kela, she had no emotions at all.

Kela nodded and moved aside.

After the Sakota walked away, Talina saw that she was carrying a strange musical instrument, which looked like a cello, but the handle at the bottom was too long.

"Who is this..."

Frowning at Sakta's back, Talina asked Kela in a low voice.

"Ms. Arturo, a distinguished guest of a certain Elector, is an exceptional musician whose musical attainments far surpass those of most people in Leitania."

After turning his head to look at the Zacota named Arturo, Kela's expression became calm.

Is it again?

"Ke La? Are the guests here?"

An old voice suddenly came from the house, bringing Talina and Kela back to their senses at the same time.

"Come in, please come in, Miss Talina."

He opened the door for Talina and Kela moved aside.

Talina walked in, followed closely by Maria.

A tall Elafia stood in the room, wearing a gray robe, with a small figure hanging below him.

It was a child about one year old, with a leash on her body, walking towards Talina step by step with the help of Walter.

Seeing this, Talina smiled, squatted down and stretched out her arms to little Marlingard.

"Come! Come to Mommy!"

Mom...Mom? ! !

Maria, who was standing behind her and about to take a look at the child, suddenly froze in place when she heard Talina's name, as if she had turned into a statue.

Volume 8: Chapter 3: Fishing for Feathers

"Wow~ He can already walk after just a few days! That's amazing!"

Squeezing her child's smiling face, Talina praised him generously.

In fact, she didn't really like having little children (three years old and older) stay in the water tank. She was often annoyed by the noisy sounds of the children.

But little Marlingade is so adorable and well-behaved that it is hard not to like her.

"Mr. Walner..., it's nice to meet you. I'm sorry to bother you these days."

Holding the toddler Marlene in her arms, Talina took the leash from Walner and greeted the elder with a smile.
