The atmosphere of Rhine's life was too depressing, even more depressing than before. She didn't know if it was because of the lack of Hemer's company or what, but she felt very uncomfortable.

"Talina...it's inconvenient to take them with you."

Saria turned her head to look at Ifrit, then came to Talina and whispered something to her.

What they do is very troublesome and complicated. They may not be able to protect themselves, let alone take care of two small children.

It does nothing but cause trouble for yourself.

I didn't speak up to stop them just now because I didn't want to make Ifrit sad. Now that we have time, we naturally have to discuss where they are going.

"Inconvenient? How could that be?"

After looking at Saria in surprise, Talina glanced at Ifrit again. After a brief brainstorming, Talina seemed to have some clues.

She looked at Saria suspiciously and asked in a low voice: "How long has it been since you last met?"

"We haven't seen each other much since we left Rhine Life. You know, because of what happened back then... Hemer has always been very repulsive to me..."

Saria lowered her head and pursed her lips.

The Balrog incident was the main reason why she and Hemer parted ways. At that time, Ifrit was controlled by the Balrog and took away control of her body. In order to solve the problem, Saria had to take action herself.

In the end, Muirses attacked the Balrog with a group attack. In order to completely solve the problem, Saria had to make some...

Dangerous move.

No one could say for sure what the situation was at that time, and it was impossible to confirm whether Ifrit was possessed by the fire demon, so Saria's actions were understandable.

But in Hemer's opinion, she was in cahoots with Parvez, who was in charge of all this, and Saria was "killing to silence her."

It was just a misunderstanding, a very ordinary misunderstanding, and everything was fine after it was clarified.

But these two people are so stubborn, one doesn't want to explain, and the other doesn't want to listen. Over time, it has dragged on until now.

To some extent, Talina now knows more about Ifrit than Saria does. After all, she also spent some time on Rhodes Island and witnessed the other party's strength when they worked together on missions.

This was why she told Ifrit to stay.

"She's not a child anymore. She's grown up. I think she can take on some responsibilities now, instead of hiding behind you all the time."

Saying this, Talina waved to Ifrit, who was standing aside with his ears perked up.

"coming!!!"

Jumping with excitement, Ifrit walked to Talina's side with his head held high.

"Whether it's her height or her experience, she's completely different now. You don't have to protect her all the time."

"She might be more powerful than you think now. Why don't you try to let go? You can protect her for a while, but can you protect her forever?"

Pinching the ears of the kitten in her arms, Tarina said seriously.

Perhaps because she had a child, her patience was much better than before, and she had a new perspective on things.

Blindly protecting it will do nothing except raise it into a flightless winged beast. Once she dies, she will face the cruelty of nature.

The same goes for Ifrit.

"Here, show Saria your current strength."

Patting Ifrit's shoulder, Talina smiled mysteriously.

"By the way, be careful. After all, this is still on Rhine Life's territory."

"Ok!"

Nodding vigorously, Ifrit stretched out his right arm.

Extremely high temperature emerged from the palm of her hand, and a flame about the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in it.

The high temperature distorted the space and blurred Saria's vision. Even from a distance, Saria could still feel the terrifying heat.

Even hotter than Draco's flame!

"This is..."

Her brows furrowed, and the familiar temperature reminded Saria of everything that had happened in Rhine Life.

More importantly, Ifrit was unarmed and used a flame of this temperature with her bare hands...

She couldn't help but worry.

Volume 9: Chapter 36: Transformation

As expected... this guy's understanding of Ifrit is still stuck at the beginning...

After seeing Saria's worried expression, Talina couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead.

It must be said that Hemer is quite powerful. Being able to discipline Ifrit to this extent is not an easy task, whether it is to let Ifrit completely master the power of the Fire Demon or to instill in Ifrit the correct way of dealing with people.

If it were Talina, she would probably roast the old goat as soon as she got the power. She would definitely not be able to achieve the same level of stability as Ifrit.

Likewise, Saria is pretty amazing. When Hemer told her not to look at him, she never took the initiative...

"Okay, put it away. Take Rosemary outside and buy some food. Snacks are up to you. Saria and I have something to talk about. Remember to be careful and watch out for cars when crossing the road."

Talina took Saria's hand, took out her wallet and put it in Ifrit's hand, then took Saria and walked towards the park in the distance.

"Meet over there in fifteen minutes, don't forget."

Waving goodbye to the two of them, Talina dragged Saria to the park despite her resistance.

It is working hours now and there are very few people in the park. Apart from a few old people chatting, there is no one else.

"What do you want to do? Send Ifrit back?"

Blocking Saria's probing gaze with her body, Talina raised an eyebrow and asked.

"They are in danger! Parvis will not give up the Balrog Project, and Loken will certainly not give up the results of the water tank experiment. You are harming them!"

"This is the territory of the Rhine Life Force. They have spies here. They could be captured at any time!"

"I know."

"You know you still..."

An angry expression flashed across her face. Saria frowned at Talina and said uncertainly, "Are you... using them as bait?"

"uh-huh."

"No, I absolutely won't allow this! This is our business, it has nothing to do with them!"

Seeing Talina's indifferent attitude, Saria shook her head and tried to avoid Talina.

Talina waved her fingertips twice, and a simple magic wall appeared in front of Saria, blocking her way.

The magic wall was very thin, so thin that Saria could break it with just a touch of her finger, but she was stopped abruptly.

"Calm down?"

Looking sideways at Saria, Talina had a smile on her lips.

"Reason...I need a valid reason."

Taking a deep breath, Saria clenched and unclenched her fists.

Reason made her stop, but her inner love for Ifrit was urging her to send Ifrit away quickly.

But out of trust in Talina, she would definitely listen to her teammates' opinions for the time being.

Talina is not the kind of person who likes to harm her own people, otherwise she would not have acted with her.

"Whether it's Parvis or Locke, it's certain that they've been implicated in this matter. I don't know what methods Christen used to make them go against the military, but that's not important."

Having said that, a strong murderous intent flashed in Talina's eyes.

"The important thing is... they will still attack Rosemary and Ifrit."

"Instead of passively waiting for them to come after we've dealt with them, why not take the initiative to lure them out and deal with them first?"

"Without their help, the Arclight Project will definitely need more manpower. Christen will definitely step in when the time comes. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that great?"

Relaxing on the recliner, Talina looked at Ifrit and Rosemary returning together in the distance and smiled with relief.

"Lorcan is dead. I had already determined this when I came here. No one can change it, Saria, not even you."

"As for Parvis, that's your problem. If you want Ifrit to live under his covetousness for the rest of her life, then that's up to you. Anyway...it all depends on you."

"Now is the best chance to deal with them. Whether you do it or not...it's up to you."

After saying that, Talina closed her mouth.

That’s all I have to say. She is not Saria’s nanny. The choice she makes depends entirely on Saria.

After standing there for a long time, Saria's heart was constantly torn.

"The law...will judge them...it's within the rules."

After a long time, Saria finally managed to utter a word, but it sounded extremely pale.

As expected, Talina just shook her head. "Lorcan Williams was sentenced to over a hundred years in prison, but what happened? He was finally released and was taken away by Rhine Life."

"Sareya, you have to understand one thing."

Standing up, Talina looked directly into Saria's eyes and said seriously, "Using legal means to resolve this matter is giving the law a chance and showing respect for the law. This isn't my only solution."

"I respect it. After all, it is the cornerstone of the basic laws of human society, so I believe in it, but the result makes me very disappointed."

"I believe in it and respect it, but it didn't do the job well. This is its dereliction of duty... Since it can't do it well, I'll do it myself!"

"Because I have strength, I have a knife..."

"I don't have the right to speak, but their lives are in my hands. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. I won't harm the innocent, nor will I vent my anger on ordinary people. I'll hold whoever did it accountable!"

"It's a very simple truth. I don't think it's difficult to explain."

Talina's voice became lower and lower, and the ferocious murderous intent on her face slowly disappeared, turning into a calm smile.

She turned around and greeted her two friends who had just bought snacks with her sincerity.

"This is yours...this is Rosemary's...this is mine...this is Saria's...well, it cost a total of fifty-two Longmen coins, and this is your wallet."

After carefully distributing the snacks in his arms among the people, Ifrit returned Talina's wallet.

Talina took it without even looking at it and put it directly into her pocket. Then she pulled Rosemary to sit aside and left the seat for Saria.

Ifrit had no idea what was going on between them. She walked up to Saria with the snacks and stood on tiptoe.

"What's wrong? Saria, are you unhappy?"

Young Safra asked doubtfully, and that puzzled tone made the troubled Saria even more tormented.

Ifrit, who was unable to notice that Saria was troubled, didn't care too much. She just stuffed the snacks she bought into Saria's arms, including her own portion.

"Then eat more sweets. Eating sweets can make people feel better. This is what Hummer told me."

Ifrit's smile pierced deeply into Saria's heart. The damage caused by this smile was far more profound than what Talina had just said.

"Huh...Okay."

Taking a deep breath, Saria accepted Ifrit's kindness, a smile appeared on her face, and she took Ifrit to sit on the other side.

Looking at this scene, Talina nodded imperceptibly.

Indecisive? No, Saria simply lacked that one push, enough to push her out of the rules she had established.

For a long time, Saria's solutions have been limited to the rules. All she thought about was how to bring the other party to justice and put them in jail.

This is good, as it shows that she is a strong person who abides by the law and is good at dealing with opponents within the rules.

But this time it’s different. This time they have to face a country’s violent apparatus, and the other party will not talk to them about reason or law.

If you have the ability, you will live; if you don’t, you will die.

Talina felt that she needed to change Saria's way of thinking, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

Fortunately, Saria figured it out at the last minute, saving her from a lot of arguments.

Retracting her gaze, Talina looked at Rosemary who was nestled in her arms. At this moment, she was holding a half-opened envelope in her hand and was about to take out the letter inside.

She...forgot the contents again.

"give it to me."

Talina reached out and took the envelope and letter from the kitten's paw.

Rosemary wanted to catch it, but it was Talina who took it, so she had to give up.
