Chapter 73 "I miss you."
The Duke's pupils shrank suddenly!
He clutched the letter tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.
[——The Duke personally opened the book. 】
What caught his eyes were four big characters.
"Teacher Dai Li brought me chocolate-filled chocolates today, and I like them very much. She said that the Duke specially sent them back from the palace."
"Jeo moved many classical books as per my request."
"It also includes the history of the Snake Clan."
"I have always been curious, what kind of place does the Duke live in? What are the habits of the snake tribe? When you were very young, was the scenery you saw different from what you see now?"
"But~"
"I know you won't take the initiative to talk to me about this."
"I ate a lot of glutinous rice balls today and drank a strawberry milkshake. Teacher Dai Li said that you are very busy recently and will come to see me when you are free."
"I know."
"I heard that wars are breaking out in many places. You have to deal with a lot of government affairs and don't even have time to sleep."
"Well..."
"Actually, what I want to say is that I seem to miss you a little."
Having said a lot before, Yu Zhizhi finally got to the point.
Although the Duke never came to see her again after that night, the time they spent together before—
She remembers it all.
Seeing these words, the Duke's throat tightened, his jawline tightened, and his golden vertical eyes stared at the letter in his hand.
"I received a postcard from Mumu today. She went to Cuiwei Canyon and had a great time."
"I'm so envious."
"I want to go out and play too..."
"What are you doing now?"
"Did you have a good day today?"
"Have you eaten? Have you slept? Do you still have nightmares?"
"When will you come to see me..."
"Take me out to play~"
This letter spans a long time and was not written in one day.
The content in the letter jumps around, and the little female seems to be writing whatever comes to mind, intermittently, and the words are inconsistent.
Just watching, watching, the Duke felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
He seemed to see the little female sitting alone in a cage, waiting for his return day after day.
He had done it intentionally by neglecting her during this period.
The Duke knew that he was about to fall. He needed to get away, regain his composure and sobriety, and could no longer get entangled with her.
But……
But she wrote——
"I'm a little scared."
"I don't know how long I will be detained. I envy Mumu. She can go wherever she wants. She has seen many scenery that I have never seen."
The Duke's body stiffened. He read every word in the letter, and his heart almost stopped beating.
"I……"
"I'm leaving."
"There are many, many reasons. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"The place I want to go is far away, and I don't know if I will have a chance to come back. So, while I'm at it now, I want to write down everything I want to say."
"I hope you can be happy."
"I pray to the gods that you will never have nightmares again."
"No need to look for me~"
"I probably used something similar to the teleportation formation and have already left the Imperial City. Let everyone have a good rest and don't blame them. They are all very good to me."
"I want to say goodbye..."
"If we can really meet again in the future..."
"Your Majesty the Duke, I hope you will not punish me."
"and--"
"I wish you could hug me."
Yu Zhizhi didn't know why the Duke was angry.
She was a little scared.
I don’t know how to get along with the angry Duke, so I instinctively want to avoid him.
And she still has tasks to complete.
Can't stay in this place.
This time he left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter to the Duke.
In the future, if we meet again - it would be great if the Duke is willing to hug himself.
She didn't want to be locked up anymore.
at last.
She left a sentence——
"Be nice to the bastards."
…
Yu Zhizhi used the teleportation scroll and felt the world spinning. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a ruins covered with snow.
Just as the instructions on the scroll said, her stomach was filled with acid, and the feeling was very similar to motion sickness.
After recovering a little, I felt a biting coldness.
"Ah...ah sneeze!"
She sneezed and hugged the red backpack in her arms. Looking around, I found that everywhere I looked was covered with white snow——
Suddenly, I went from a place where spring was warm and flowers were blooming to a severely cold area.
Is this the Moonrise Empire in the far north?
She remembered that the place she chose was [Paradise].
Listen to the name...
It feels like a very happy place.
And it only requires 100 points.
It's just a little cold.
Yu Zhizhi wore very little, but fortunately she had an extra coat during the teleportation. She stood up from the snowdrift, staggered, and walked towards the shop not far away.
Suddenly, a system sound appeared in her mind——
【bite! Congratulations to the host for starting the 4th main quest, which requires that within two months, the adult male of the mermaid tribe (regardless of identity) be captured, and the pregnancy and birth of a cub will be considered a success. Failure or task timeout will be erased! Host, please hurry up, the countdown begins——】
The fourth main quest has started!
Yu Zhizhi carefully browsed the task content——
Mermaid... clan?
Well, she had seen it before when she was looking through ancient history books. It was said to be a very rare race that lived in the most secluded part of the Deep Sea Empire.
However, she remembered that the Moonrise Empire and the Deep Sea Empire belonged to completely opposite directions...
The girl stood there blankly.
"Should I stay in the Duke's Palace for a longer period of time...?"
[System: Staying in place, unable to unlock the main line. 】
Therefore, "walking around" at the right time is the key.
"oh……"
The place where Yu Zhizhi came was the [Paradise] of the Moon Rising Empire. It was unknown what area it was in, and the surrounding area was deserted.
There are damaged buildings everywhere, towering into the sky, covered with snow, and every time you step into them, it seems that there is no bottom.
When she was about to approach the only store——
A siren suddenly sounded from high in the sky!
Soon, the rigorous announcement reached the ears of every orc present through the loudspeaker.
"The fourth snow wave this year is about to come. All residents are asked to bring their ID cards to the evacuation tower. Note that you will not be able to enter the evacuation site without your ID card. Please be sure to hang your identity information on your chest."
"In thirty minutes, the snow wave will cover all areas of the park——"
"Please arrange your time and go to the refuge tower in an orderly manner. Be careful not to crowd. Violators will be punished by the park."
……ah?
Snow tide? !
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment and saw many orcs of various shapes rushing out of the store, their expressions were very panicked.
One of the orcs drove an off-road vehicle. After everyone got on board, the vehicle speed soared and disappeared in front of Yu Zhizhi's eyes in the blink of an eye.
She opened her hands and waved hard, trying to catch up, but fell down because the snow was too thick.
Unnoticed by the orcs, there was a small female in the border area.
The cold wind poured into his throat, like a knife cutting flesh, and Yu Zhizhi choked to the point of tears. She hugged the red backpack tightly, braved the fierce cold wind, and chased step by step in the direction where the car disappeared.
However, the road is too difficult to walk...
Every time Yu Zhizhi takes a step, she will be pushed back by the wind.
Wow, she wouldn't just die in the bad weather, would she?
Snow tide...
The name sounds similar to a mudslide or volcanic eruption——
Just when Yu Zhizhi was thinking wildly, a pair of dark brown boots appeared in front of him.
"Zizi——"
The visitor had a walkie-talkie in his hand, and he reported to the superior immediately.
"At coordinates 223 and 466, a female rabbit tribe was found. Her power and level are unknown. Do you want to take her back?"
