Chapter 724 Hyperion returns for a limited time
The next day.
In this era of war-torn southern continent.
From the Knox Mountains to the Obsidian Island of Palton, from the Bryndusk Snow Canyon to the Isanti Fall Bay, the homes and strategic points of the Eastern Kingdom were devastated, towns were razed to the ground, and farmland harvests and city-state property were destroyed. After all the looting, innocent civilians were massacred, the enemy was cruel and ruthless, and the soldiers were still fighting against them with their bodies covered in iron and blood.
Although the entire southern front line in the eastern region of the United Kingdom United Council Alliance is in danger, Ikerita, the hinterland of the Kingdom of Hutton, is still the safest place.
In the early morning, the sky was filled with a touch of faint gray. In this early autumn day, the whole city was much more solemn than usual, as if winter would come extra early this year.
In the East District of Icerite, there is a wooden house standing on a street east of Icerite College.
The flowerbed in the courtyard of Mao Boss Restaurant is filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers, and their fragrance floats in the wind.
It's not yet time to open for business today.
In a wooden room on the second floor, the walls are painted in soft cream, light orange and beige, and the wooden furniture has been polished by Mao Boss to give it a natural texture.
"The south wind brings coolness~"
"The nightingale sings softly~"
"The flowers under the moon are all dreaming~"
Hyperion leaned on the carved wooden chair, holding a cup of fine scented tea in her hand, sipping gently, and the fragrance of tea filled her clear red and white lips and teeth.
The antique magical gramophone next to it was playing a soft ditty, and the melodious melody flowed in the air. On this morning, it seemed to bring people back to the old days of Ikerita, which was gentle and moving.
"Oh, I can't get out."
Hyperion wore a loose silk dress with an elegant beige background and embellished with the embroidery of their ducal family.
Her long silver hair was tied into a manageable bun, with two long strands hanging on her shoulders.
Now, even if she goes out, she must take at least two big demons with her to prevent any imperial spies who have sneaked into Icerita from targeting her.
Accompanied by Antanas and Sinora, even if the enemy tried to use any tricks, it would be impossible to bypass two big demons at the same time, or successfully divert one big demon so that Hyperion would be left alone.
However, from the current point of view, the sixth-level imperial assassin who comes to Hyperion is basically seeking death, and the two eighth-level demons are too reliable to follow.
Even the expedition to the Duke's Palace has come to an end for the time being.
It was almost possible to open the treasure trove under the Alansal family, but considering safety, Pranai still prohibited Antanas and Sinora from accompanying Hyperion.
Hyperion couldn't help but miss the time when she could go wherever she wanted.
Although the feeling of being protected by three big demons is reassuring now, it seems to be no different from the time in the demon king's city of Naikalis, and the Cat Boss restaurant has also become another small demon king's castle.
During the previous period, Antanas and Sinora liked to go to the Duke's Palace to play together, try on various clothes, and also like to dress her up according to their preferences. Over time, Hyperion also gave up resistance and let them Both happy.
Her current look was dressed up by Antanas.
If Thalia is not at home, one of Antanas and Sinora will come to sleep with her and protect her 24 hours a day.
Planay always pays attention to the Wilford family.
Whenever he went to Wilfort's house to secretly reinforce the barrier, he would be stopped by the owner of the house, Noe, and he would be entertained and chatted about the war. He also heard Noe complain about his son, Ranch, who liked to run around during the war and made him worry. After being praised by Noe again, "It's better you, Pranay. You are worthy of being a friend from Tata's hometown, well-informed and reliable." Pranay seemed to have almost become a registered member of the Wilford family.
"Fortunately, the Wilford family moved to the royal capital of Icerite from Nanwantina early. It would be great to just live in Icerite from now on."
Hyperion picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and started reading it.
Although Nanwantina's leader is fine, to be honest, she prefers Icerita.
However, based on her understanding of Lan Qi, he should be the type who is very willing to marry into his wife, as long as he can retire peacefully at the age of 20. Therefore, even if he considers what will happen in the future, he will most likely choose Ikerita. .
"Oh, what am I thinking about?"
Hyperion shook her head violently.
It's easy to think about things when you're alone in the house.
Sinora is in the next room. The three of them live on the second floor of Boss Cat, so they can be called neighbors. Early this morning, Antanas helped her comb her hair and then went downstairs. Went in search of breakfast, will be back soon.
The feeling of being accompanied by her best friend made Hyperian unexpectedly feel dreamy, at least she had never experienced it since she was a child.
"Ow!"
The cry of the fox attracted Hyperion's attention, and she came back to her senses.
A fox with shiny black fur was squatting at her feet. The fox's golden eyes were lively and his body was light. He was looking at her obediently.
Hyperion gently picked up a piece of delicate pastry from the silver plate on the small round coffee table, stretched out her hand and fed it to the fox's mouth.
The fox took it carefully, ate it with gusto, and shook his head happily.
What Hyperion didn't notice was that Antanas had already returned to the door carrying a carton of breakfast.
"..."
Antanas looked at Hyperion in the room, listening to a ditty and feeding the fox, leaning on the armchair and reading the newspaper.
She felt like there was a lump in her throat, as if she had seen an old friend.
"Xiubao, do you feel that you have become a Tatar?"
Antanas finally walked into the living room and came to Hyperion's side, complaining.
After more than two months, Hyperion lived here alone without Thalia, and she became more and more like Thalia.
The only difference is that Hyperion has a certain aura of nobility that makes her look like a rich concubine rather than retired.
"Really, can I become like Tata?"
Hyperion thought for a moment and asked incomprehensively.
The ideal woman in her heart is like Talia, who is noble, aloof, and has maternal qualities accumulated over the years. No matter how you look at her carefully, you will feel that Tata is a perfect woman.
She felt that there was a big difference between herself and Tata, at least Lan Qi would not confuse the two of them.
"Forget it, let's eat first."
Antanas shook his head.
It is understandable that although the war outside is tense, Lan Qi's instructions to Hyperion are to ensure absolute safety.
So in the end it became Hyperion to stay in Icerite and do nothing, which became the optimal solution.
Just when she opened the box, Hyperion suddenly seemed to hear something and took out a translucent communication card glowing with purple light.
Someone is contacting Hyperion.
She connected it, and a cold voice came over——
"Huberlian, it's me."
These simple words made Hyperian open her eyes wide.
"Teacher Artis, I miss you so much."
Hyperion quickly sat upright from the recliner, her voice filled with surprise.
When Tata was away in the Northern Continent, Teacher Ice and Snow Witch was her only spiritual comfort. She had been looking forward to the teacher contacting her.
However, the Ice Witch is now even busier with official duties and has almost taken over all the work of the great priest Loren in the Kingdom of Hutton, so Hyperion cannot disturb the Ice Witch.
And Huberian didn’t know why, but the teacher seemed to be deliberately avoiding her before, as if he was acting for someone, telling that person that her relationship with Huberian was not that close, so don’t think about using Huber. Leanne comes to threaten her. It's not too late for Hyperion to reminisce about the past.
"Where are you now? I'll come find you."
The ice witch's voice was filled with fatigue and solemnity.
"Yala Moat East, No. 34 Gordon Street, Boss Cat Restaurant."
Hyperion replied immediately.
Her heartbeat quickened, feeling that the Ice Witch teacher was coming to find her.
"Wait for me for a quarter of an hour."
The Ice Witch replied and hung up the communication magic.
Hyperion looked hesitant for a few seconds after the communication ended, then stood up from the recliner and cheered.
"Huberlian, tell me, do you have a passive skill that allows you to summon a demon mother when no one is taking care of you?"
Antanas could feel Hyperion's joy through the air and complained.
"No way, sometimes it's impossible for Thalia, Artis, or Kaliela to take care of me."
Hyperion glared at Antanas pretending to be sullen. She didn't approve of this passivity of "calling mom".
"Well, if you are in a desperate situation and cannot summon a demon mother, you will pay merit and summon a male mother."
Antanas thought about it carefully and added.
"..."
Hyperion couldn't resist.
It seems indeed...
"But no matter what, that's not called a boy mother..."
She lowered her head and said coyly.
"What's that called?"
Antanas winked and asked with interest.
"That, that's called..."
Hyperion poked her finger, her face started to turn red but she couldn't say anything.
Until she said a few words in an inaudible voice that Antanas couldn't hear clearly, she quickly ran away while Antanas was stunned.
……
More than ten minutes later.
A slender figure came to the door of Boss Cat's restaurant.
She was wearing sunglasses, and her silver eyes under the dark lenses vaguely reflected the sunlight on the glass of the wooden house restaurant. Her long white hair danced in the wind, as softly as snowflakes.
Before she could raise her hand to touch the door, her hand stopped.
The store has an overly strong isolation barrier.
It was as if it was a black box. Before entering, there was no way to detect the situation in the store through any magic.
There is no doubt that this is the work of Antanas, Shinora, and Pranay.
This restaurant is extremely close to Icerite Academy. Even Loren's student Asna is the chef here. If Loren doesn't know that there is a demon fortress hidden under his nose, the Ice Witch doesn't believe it.
If it were in the past when Loren was still there, the Ice Witch believed that Asna's job as a chef was just an illusion, just to follow Loren's will and build a bridge with the demons.
But now that the news of Loren's death came, the Ice Witch was stunned for a long time.
She investigated all night, and finally got the result that only Loren really lost to the three war gods.
She always felt a little empty in her heart, and even realized that she might have been fighting with the air for too long and misunderstood Loren, a good person.
Every time, she firmly believes that Loren has planned everything and will come back to win everything in the end. Only this time, the Ice Witch felt her heart sinking when she looked at the investigation report from the Aloran Kingdom.
Even for some unknown reason, she still couldn't let go of her last fantasy, wondering whether this man might have faked his death on purpose and had now embarked on a path of evil in the Crean Empire.
But the cruel fact is that I will never see this man again. I am so stupid to always doubt such a kind person.
The Ice Witch wiped away her tears, her eyes became firm again, and she pushed towards the door.
She also has her mission.
The smell of oatmeal and cheese still lingers on the first floor of the restaurant.
It was obviously a moment of relaxing chat among the permanent employees shortly after breakfast.
They were chatting with Hyperion on the first floor.
The wind chimes in Boss Cat's restaurant suddenly rang, breaking the usual tranquility.
A major feature of this wooden house is the large area of the roof that is curved. The eaves are far longer than the walls, and a string of wind chimes hangs under the deep eaves. Whenever the breeze blows or customers come, they will make a pleasant ringing sound.
They all looked towards the door.
This place is obviously not open for business, and the wind chimes are ringing, which means someone is back.
Of course, for the three big demons, they had already noticed that a guest had arrived at the door even without the sound of wind chimes.
The figure with white hair and light eyes opened the door and stepped into the restaurant.
In an instant, she paused.
It seems that there is something unusual here.
On the surface, the interior of the restaurant looks simple, with wooden tables, chairs and floors exuding a light pine scent. There are some handicrafts and old books placed in the corners.
In fact, she soon discovered that the wooden house building was full of carefully constructed ancient demonic barriers. Even if she stepped into this place and wanted to do something in this building, she would probably have no return, only a few Only the cooperation of the big demons can accomplish such a feat.
It was obviously the transformation that took a lot of time to be completed by the three great demons in Helrom Prison brought back by Hyperion from the Northern Continent and Thalia.
This is no longer the standard that a restaurant should have.
She believed this place was a little devil's palace.
But Loren is dead, and all misunderstandings are resolved.
"Huberlian, long time no see."
The Ice Witch looked at the familiar girl's figure that was already looking at her, and the three figures who looked like employees in the restaurant behind her.
No matter how complicated the magical environment here is, she believes it is all to protect Hyperion.
"Teacher Artis! I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Hyperion was a little timid at first, until she confirmed the gentle look in the other person's eyes, and gradually quickened her pace and excitedly rushed over to hug the Ice Witch Artis.
Although she didn't know what Teacher Artis was doing when she came to see her today, the moment their master and apprentice reunited, Hyperion was filled with a sense of peace of mind.
