Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"So everything's alright, you guys?"

He directed these words at the four goblins who were traveling with him.

Tetrot, Bawan Xi, the Black Knight Hector, and Aring Reinek of the Fang Clan.

Especially Reinecke. Now that the war is over, Shiomi thinks there is no need for Kiba no Arin to accompany them.

Therefore, when Shiomi asked this question, Reinek clearly felt that the sharp edge of realization was directed at him.

"Sage, you are right. My instincts are telling me not to approach the Great Void," Reinecke said respectfully. "But if Sage deems it appropriate to investigate the Great Void, please allow me to come along."

"I remember you are Fan Yaling, right? As one of the best fairies among all the fairies, why did you leave your clan and follow us?" Hector asked at this time.

The Fang Clan was violent and aggressive, and their reputation had always been bad. Even though they had suppressed the great disaster together, it only proved that Reinek was still reliable. However, following them all the time would inevitably make the other three goblins feel uneasy.

"That's a superfluous question. We of the Fang Clan believe in 'might is justice.' In Britain, the Sage is undoubtedly the strongest being. He defeated me easily. As the loser, I must submit to the Sage and fight as he commands."

Reinek snorted coldly, his tone showing no disguising his arrogance as a member of the Fang Clan.

"Really?" Xijian glanced at Jian when he said this.

She shook her head, wordlessly telling Shiomi that Reinek had not lied.

Although his attitude and words are a little unpleasant, there is no hypocrisy.

This generation of Kiba no Azusa chose to submit to the more powerful Shiomi.

"But to be honest, I would rather you fulfill your duties as the head of the Fang clan than stay with us," said Shiomi.

"What do you mean?" Reinecke asked.

"Once the investigation of the Great Hollow is complete, return to the Fang Clan and manage your clan well," Shiomi said. "One day I will need you."

"As you wish." Reinecke bowed his head in response.

Then he stood up decisively and walked outside the camp to stand guard.

"You don't look very happy," said Grimm, as he drank from his kettle.

"No, it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not in this kind of thing, just deal with the matter at hand." Xijian smiled faintly.

He has many prejudices against all the goblin clans.

Hector of the Earth Clan, Tetrot and Bawan Xi of the Wing Clan are the only exceptions.

As an Arling, Reineke's power is even greater, and given the nature of this clan, Shiomi will be more cautious than with other companions, retaining a longer probation period.

"Oh, really?" Grimm put his hands behind his head and leaned his back against the wooden stake to rest.

At this time, Shiomi looked at the other three fairies.

They also expressed that they could endure the discomfort of being close to the big hole.

Then Xijian clapped his hands and everyone dispersed to rest.

However, when Ash and Shiomi were chatting with Bawan Xi, they heard Hector talking to Tetrot in a rather stern tone about something.

"No, I've told you countless times. If you want to dye it yellow, use onion peels. To prevent fading, use salt. Boil water to dissolve it, then soak it. I taught you that yesterday. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Just tie up the enemy with string."

Tetrot was also there crying softly.

"...How do I do it...How do I do it...How do I use the wool...How do I use the cotton...Wuwuwu...Wuwuwuwu...I don't know...I don't know..."

In order to maintain team stability, they leaned over to understand the situation.

"What's wrong?" asked Jian.

"Wow!" Tetrot, caught off guard by the question, cried out in surprise. "Wha-what? Aren't you guys up yet? Didn't you say we're going to the Big Hollow tomorrow?"

"The tools are scattered all over the floor... Are you doing some exercises?" Shiomi noticed the tools that Tetrot wanted to pick up but couldn't put away in an instant.

All sewing stuff.

"...Because I mentioned before that I wanted to make a wedding dress for Jian..." Tetrot knew that he couldn't hide it, "but I'm only good at sewing, I don't know anything else."

"Is that why I asked Hector to teach you?" Xi understood. "From the looks of it, it's not the first day. You must have started asking for advice after suppressing the Great Disaster and coming to the Great Void these few days, right?"

"Yes." Tetrot lowered his head. "Whether it was something I heard three days ago or two days ago, I only do what I was born to do... The Black Knight said that all we have to do is fight. That is my mission in following you..."

Xijian sighed, "You old stubborn guy, when did I ever tell you that I wanted you to be my companion so that you could fight... Did you tell me that, Jian?"

"No. I just think it would be more lively and fun with more travel companions." Jian shook his head.

"Woo..." Tetrot wanted to cry even more.

Unlike the fairies of Paradise, the fairies of Britain do not grow.

It seems that Tetrot has a limited memory, which makes it more difficult for him to learn things.

Unable to do what he wanted to do and unable to realize the "purpose" of his birth, Tetrot couldn't help but feel sad.

"If you can't remember it with your brain alone, then write it down." Xi Jian sighed, "Don't you have a notebook to write things down anyway?"

"But I can only draw pictures and I don't know how to read. Even if you teach me, I will forget..." Tetrot wanted to accept this suggestion, but he was powerless.

Just as Jian was about to say that she would teach, Bawan Xi raised her hand.

"Well, if Tetrot doesn't mind, I can study with you."

"Eh? Can you read?"

This shocked Tetrot.

"I started learning it recently..." Bawan Xi said shyly, "The Sage and the Witch taught me."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! You're so biased! Ash! And Shiomi!"

Tetrot grabbed Shiomi's collar and shook him hard, but he remained motionless as a mountain, indicating this explanation.

"You didn't mention it yourself..."

Chapter 70 On the way to the Great Void

Sometimes, Ximi wonders if she should be more careful with her words and actions.

For example, teaching Bawan Shi to learn things.

Knowing that Bawan Shi was secretly studying while he was suffering like a fool, Tetrot was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night and learned the most basic parts with Bawan Shi.

Then the two of them would ask Shiomi and Ash for advice from time to time.

This prevented Shiomi from using magic to isolate the tent and get intimate with Ash.

The whole night passed in a daze. Xiomi didn't even dare to drive the all-terrain magic car, for fear that he would have problems due to fatigue. He led everyone into the big hole in one breath.

"Here, here, this word should be written like this, right?" Tetrot said to Bawan Xi while holding the notebook.

"Should it be smoother?" Bawan Xi tried to write.

"Oh oh oh——!"

Watching them communicating and learning there, Shiomi covered her head and muttered to herself.

"Does this mean I'm raising two more children? Isn't that right?"

"What?" Jian didn't quite understand. "Why 'again'?"

"Ah..." Xijian was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but think of Sakura and Kallen.

If his deduction was correct, they had spent 2000 years in the Lostbelt Shiomi, but those from Panhuman History should have followed Chaldea to the Wandering Sea for only a few days.

If he hadn't used magic to protect his memory, Shiomi had no doubt that only blurred fragments would remain.

But even so, the width of time itself makes clear memories inexplicably distant, as awkward as being able to see the other side of a wide river.

"Tianxi...is there anything you haven't told me?" Jian pulled Xijian and lowered his voice, as serious as if he was catching someone having an affair.

Xijian pursed his lips. He had wanted to wait until "someday" to tell Jian, but it seemed that today was that "someday".

"Actually, I have two children." Xijian held Jian's hand and said softly.

"Eh? Two kids?" Jian's expression changed. He looked more amused than surprised.

"Don't be impatient. Just listen to me." Xi Jian shook his head. "Those two children are not my biological children. One was entrusted to me by an acquaintance who was unable to raise him. The other was adopted by me as the successor magician for some reason."

"Just like the adoption between me and my mother?" asked Jian.

"Roughly speaking, yes." Shiomi nodded in agreement.

Jian blinked immediately: "Is it a human?"

"of course."

"What does it look like? Boy or girl?" asked Jian.

"Why do you ask about this?"

"After all... if they are my husband's children, then... I am their mother." Jian's face flushed, and she was undoubtedly looking forward to meeting them someday.

Xi Jian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "You seem to be quite open-minded. I thought you would be angry."

"why?"

"Hiding the fact that I have a child and becoming your wife is a pretty serious matter in our area." Xi Jian shook his head. "I'm prepared for you to blame me and even dislike me."

"Hmm... if you had told me from the beginning, I would have felt uncomfortable." Jian pondered the possibility. "But so much time has passed. I really can't be angry with you now."

"Ah, this..." Xijian still felt a little guilty.

"Looking at it this way, my husband is actually quite cunning." Jian was quite amused. "Of course, this cunningness is also what fascinates me."

"Yeah." Xi Jian could only respond softly.

"So those two kids—"

"They are all girls." Shiomi said, "Once I have finished exploring the Great Void, I will show them to you directly in the form of shared memories."

"Then let's quickly finish our exploration of the Great Void and share our memories."

Jian immediately changed priorities and pulled Xiomi closer to the big cave.

It only took about an hour to get to the big cave from the camp. Soon, the big cave with desolate surroundings and an unfathomable depth in the middle appeared in the sight of the savior and his party.

The interior of the large cave is quite flat, and apart from some plants growing on the cliffs, there is almost no possibility of climbing down.

Even the footholds need to be built from scratch.

Therefore, instead of rock climbing, Shiomi chose another way.

"Use my line?" said Tetelot. "My line is quite strong, but is it really all right?"

Jian nodded and said, "I will use magic to strengthen your line so that when Tianxi goes down, the line won't break due to the weight."

"But why is it the Sage who goes down?" asked Bawan Xi.

"The answer is simple. If anything unexpected happens, I'm the only one who will definitely survive." Shiomi squatted at the edge of the big hole, assessing the situation inside.

Grimm, Hector and Reinek were sent by Shiomi to three other locations in the Great Void. They stood evenly at the four points, observing the situation inside and around the Great Void.

"What's the situation inside the big void?" asked Jian.

"Very...stable?" Shiomi asked with a hint of doubt. "Although the great disaster we sensed earlier originated from this area, the Great Void itself is surprisingly normal..."

Grimm and his team also reported back the same conclusion.

No matter from which angle you observe or smell, you can't find any unusual smell.

The absence of abnormalities is the biggest abnormality.

Why is it that in the British Isles, which gradually expanded through war and killing, this is the only place that has never been filled up?

Nearly ten thousand years, in the context of human history, is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes.

"Then..." Jian was still a little hesitant.

"I'm going down now," Shiomi said. "With the help of Ash's magic, Tetrot's line can extend to about 8000 meters. If this depth is still not enough, then there's nothing we can do."

"What do you mean there's no way?" asked Jian.

"Retreat." Xijian spread his hands, "Then make more thorough preparations for a second exploration."

Infected by his calm attitude, Ash also decided to trust Shiomi's judgment.

"Should we call Grimm and the others back?"
