Chapter 4 Holiday~
The decision was made.
After collecting six types of Rainbow Abyss Power, Lonis couldn’t deny her excitement. After all, only one remained!
If they could push forward with all their might, they might finally complete their long-standing quest for origin tracing!
They would defeat that detestable General Castor and the ridiculous Demon Lord, and then do some good things with Elus~~
However, the girl hadn’t anticipated…
…
“Well, we’ll be taking a break for now. Everyone, go back to your homes and rest for a while.”
“What?”
“Senior Zhisheng Luo, you need to stay in Nile Port for a while too, right? After all, someone needs to look after things here regarding the Vast City.”
“I… I’ll finish my tasks here as quickly as possible.”
“It’s fine, it’s a holiday anyway. No need to rush… Besides, Princess Cécile and Candelle want to return to the Royal Palace to visit their families and deal with the situation.”
“Senior Elus…”
“Then you two should also go back and rest. After all, there are so many accumulated matters. You’ll need to handle the issues with the Demon Race and humans personally to do it right, won’t you?”
“Mm…”
“Bai Ye, you should also return to the Research Station and take care of the Tree of Origin Collapse. If only the Doctor handles things there, the experimental progress will be hindered.”
“Sister Elus…”
“Senior Isumi, you should also go back to Academy Island to rest~~ Your arm has become a mechanical arm, and it will be troublesome if it continues like this. We need to see if we can replace it.”
And so, Elus sent everyone back to their respective homes, with a slight air of disbandment.
This left Lonis very confused, not knowing what that black-haired girl was planning… However, even as she thought this, there was one girl who seemed to have latched onto the ship, unwilling to leave.
“Wuwu, Su Ling doesn’t want to leave, Su Ling wants to stay on the ship.”
“Su Ling, aren’t you supposed to go home and see Little Shi’s children?”
“Sister is here to take care of them, and besides, if I leave, who will take care of the slimes on the ship! I don’t care, I’m not leaving!!!”
Su Ling hugged Elus’s waist and said in a spoiled manner.
Elus could only sigh and say, “Alright, but if Su Ling stays on the ship, you must remember to follow orders and not run around.”
“Mm, okay!”
…
…
And so, things turned out this way.
The Time Shuttle first arrived at Nile Port and dropped off Senior Zhisheng Luo, then headed to the Kingdom Ming, the Boundless Land, Academy Island, and other places, allowing her companions to return to their homes.
But before they parted ways?
Elus mysteriously handed each companion a small brocade pouch, instructing them not to open it yet and to wait until two weeks later.
“Senior Elus, that…”
“Mm, Cécile, rest assured. I have a very detailed plan. Oh, and by the way, please convey to King Ruo Hui that he can prepare for that matter!”
…
All the plans were thus arranged.
And after all her companions had left…
The entire ship became empty again.
Besides Lonis and Elus, only Su Ling remained. This scene was like when they first set off, with the girl having nothing but aspirations and hopes for the future.
“Elus, what… what are we going to do?”
“What are we going to do? Didn’t I tell you? Of course, it’s a ‘holiday’!”
“Huh, really a holiday? Aren’t we only missing one last place? Why don’t we go all out?”
“Alas, you little idiot don’t understand the principle of haste makes waste, do you? Before a major battle, necessary rest is very beneficial. Everyone has been tense for so long, and they need time to return home and reunite with familiar people?”
“Then where… are we going? If it’s a holiday, isn’t Academy Island enough?”
Lonis actually missed her time on Academy Island.
Although classes were tense, her life after class with Su Ling at the maid cafe was truly fulfilling… Ah, this doesn’t mean Lonis liked being a little maid!
“Academy Island is certainly an option, but there’s a better place, you know?”
“A better place…”
“Mm, the Land of Eternity. Let’s go see the place where you, little idiot, used to live.”
Lonis never expected that Elus would want to go there!
Isn’t that place an underground ruin? Can the Time Shuttle even reach there with its size?
However…
Since this was Elus’s decision, Lonis didn’t intend to object. Because whatever Elus did, there was always a reason behind it.
Upon hearing that they were going to the Land of Eternity, Su Ling jumped up excitedly.
“Are we going to the Land of Eternity? Hooray, Su Ling will also choose a hero and embark on a journey to save the world~~”
“Huh, Su Ling, have you heard of the Land of Eternity?”
Lonis was surprised and asked Su Ling.
“Mm, of course, Su Ling has heard of it. It’s the largest ruin of the last epoch. They say it’s much larger and more mysterious than Hero City~~~ Countless people have wanted to find the path there, but all have returned in defeat~~~”
“Hmph, of course. Because the Land of Eternity originally doesn’t exist in this world.”
Elus nodded, looking quite confident.
“Doesn’t exist… in this world?”
“That’s right. It took me several years to find the Land of Eternity. During those years, I was utterly heartbroken, and my hair almost turned black~~”
Elus pointed to her beautiful hair, as if for them, silver-haired girls, black hair was a symbol of fatigue.
However, in Lonis’s opinion…
“Huh, Elus, did you look for several years outside?”
“Huh?”
“Wuwu, then, then doesn’t that mean you spent the most wonderful time of your life searching for me… wuwu, I’m so touched.”
“Idiot, I didn’t deliberately look for you! You little fool, you’re not worth all my effort?!”
Elus frowned fiercely, looking like she would activate her little toy if Lonis pushed her luck any further!
This scared Lonis so much that she dared not “tease her wife” anymore. She could only obediently perk up her ears and say submissively, “Th-then, Master Elus, where exactly is the Land of Eternity? Why can’t so many people find it?”
“It’s very simple, it’s in the sky?”
“Huh? The sky?! Could it be… like Academy Island, a floating continent?”
Lonis was stunned. Academy Island was already spectacular enough, so just how vast would the even larger Land of Eternity be?
However, Elus shook her head and sighed:
“The sky I’m talking about is a higher sky.”
“A higher sky…”
“Mm, that is, the low-earth orbit satellite you can see every night – the Moon.”
