【Fragnt? Here?】
Violet glanced around at her surroundings again.
The position where she and the little dragon maid were standing was the central square of Spryce City. Although it had an area of 200,000 square ters, there weren’t many complex buildings. Apart from so vegetation, amusent facilities, and monunts, there was almost nothing hidden here, right?
【Even if you say so... Can’t you be more specific?】
The voice of Sethlin from the statue sounded helpless.
【I can’t help it either. Although my perception has recovered quite a bit since last ti, I am still sealed after all. Moreover, the aura of this fragnt is very weak for so reason, only a small amount remains in a certain location, and it’s already very difficult to sense it.】
Well, none of them are reliable.
To be honest, Violet was quite enthusiastic about helping Sethlin retrieve her fragnts.
After all, she was the first god Violet had encountered and had close contact with in this world. Understanding such mysterious beings firsthand was very helpful for Violet. Even if it was just a soul fragnt, it was much better than those elusive individuals she didn’t even know where to find.
She had a feeling that this little surprise Lilya gave her under this serendipitous opportunity might be one of the important clues for her to understand the past of those deities, especially the relationship between the Goddess of Earth and the Goddess of the Sky.
Helping Sethlin regain her mories and powers had tangible benefits for Violet, and so far, she didn’t find the other party’s personality disagreeable.
Of course, Violet didn’t completely trust her. She kept a cautious attitude, for example, she never ntioned helping Sethlin lift the seal, and Sethlin herself seed to have no such request.
Whether she felt unable to remove it or for so other reason, if the other party didn’t speak up, Violet didn’t intend to ask.
In any case, helping Sethlin find more fragnts was currently a valuable choice. In gaming terms, it was probably an important side quest.
【Okay, I got it. But it’s dayti now, and it’s not convenient to investigate with people coming and going. Let’s co back at night... Um, you don’t need to sleep or anything, right?】
Sethlin was silent for a while, and after a good while, she ca out with a rather speechless response.
【Can we stop with the nonsense?】
After informing Xiao Guang of the situation, the duo deliberated briefly and decided to return temporarily.
Back at the living area prepared for the joint mission of the Winged Kingdom’s envoy, in the main hall, Violet happened to run into Felina, who seed to have just returned from her errands.
It had to be said that this envoy leader was really diligent. With hundreds of people in the team, she almost had to handle everything, and she was reportedly very strict with her subordinates, reaching a level of severity, but she rarely interfered with the few people around Violet.
Moreover, due to Felina’s leading by example, she was busy all day long, almost without any rest ti. Although her subordinates occasionally complained, they were still very serious and decisive in their work. The team was completely cohesive, like a disciplined army.
No wonder Lilya specifically appointed Felina as the envoy leader, she was indeed a rare talent in managent, or should she be called a hardworking laborer?
Ah, she shouldn’t let her hear that.
“Miss Violet, you’re back so early?”
A sturdy young woman clad in clean knight armor seed to enter the room no matter where she went. eting the gaze of the priestess who had just entered from the other side, she paused for a mont, then waved her hand, letting her few subordinates behind her go rest.
“Oh, about the sa. By the way, Miss Felina, do you have ti now? I’d like to talk to you about sothing.”
“Oh?”
Felina approached Violet alone, her gaze slightly scrutinizing but not offensive, scanning her and the blonde girl behind her.
“What a coincidence, I also have so matters to discuss with you. This isn’t the place for it. How about both of you co to my room?”
“Ah, I see... Sure.”
Originally, Violet just wanted to inform Felina about the encounter with the beastman Kunnir and the speculation that the envoy from the Beastman Kingdom might have also arrived in the Azure Sky Kingdom, and then leave. But since Felina suggested it, chatting a bit more wouldn’t hurt, as they had plenty of free ti ahead.
Speaking of which, although they had been traveling together for two to three months, they had hardly had any in-depth conversations. Violet didn’t know much about this knight who had arrived in this world by coincidence and had only t her briefly, still stuck with the impression from their first eting.
The three of them climbed the stairs specially built for the embassy and arrived at the door of Felina Trollope’s room. The envoy leader took the initiative to open the door and enter.
“Please, have a seat. I’ll make tea for you.”
Felina prepared the tea while Violet and Xiao Guang each took a seat, observing their surroundings.
It was a very ordinary room.
Although the Azure Sky Kingdom provided special accommodations for the embassy, Felina, as the leader of the delegation, seed to have not chosen that option. Instead, she gave it to Violet and the others, while she herself used a bedroom of the sa standard as the ordinary mbers of the delegation.
Although she was a noble, many of her things were kept to the sa standard as everyone else’s, which was one of the important reasons why Felina, despite being so strict, could still gain the respect of the others.
The envoy leader’s movents were swift. In less than a minute, she placed three cups of steaming hot tea on the table in front of them, then casually took a seat herself.
Watching the knight with short hair blowing on her cup leisurely, Violet couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s rare to see Miss Felina so relaxed. Do you have no other tasks to handle later?”
Felina didn’t imdiately respond. Instead, she gracefully finished her tea, set down the wooden cup, and then nodded slightly.
“Everyone has worked hard all the way here. Unlike the Forbidden Zone, the Azure Sky Kingdom, especially Spryce Island, is relatively safe. So, I’ve arranged a day of free ti, of course, including myself.”
Whether it was an illusion or not, Violet couldn’t help but feel that the deanor and behavior of the knight at this mont, apart from not smiling, were very much like a kingdom guardian who secluded themselves in the depths of a dungeon. But Felina and Edith... They shouldn’t have any connection, right?
Once this thought erged, it spread uncontrollably like kindling falling on dry grass. Unable to contain her curiosity, the priestess decided to probe a little.
“By the way, Miss Felina, do you know about Edith lchior, one of the founders of the Human United Kingdom? It’s said that she disappeared not long after founding the kingdom, which is quite intriguing~”
“Hmm? Ancestor Edith?”
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s Edith. Looks like you know... Wait, ancestor?”
Seeing the sudden turn towards a bewildered expression on the black-haired girl’s face, Felina shook her head helplessly, but her expression was filled with strong yearning and admiration.
“Speaking of which, Miss Violet may not know, but one of the founders of the kingdom, Lady Edith lchior, didn’t originally have the surna lchior. The royal surna and family were established by several founding mbers who collectively changed their surnas.”
“The descendants left by those nobles are few, and... um... so they are collectively referred to as the lchior family. As for her original family, so parts of it have continued to this day, including our Trollope family.”
“Of course, because it’s been so long, and our family hasn’t deliberately publicized it, many nobles in the kingdom don’t know about this. In fact, Lady Edith, one of the founders of the Human United Kingdom, had the original full na.”
“Edith Trollope.”
