"What is this..." In the abandoned village where Heliga and Fei had just left, three figures were walking back and forth. Their hearts are heavy-not only because of the dilapidated scene, but also because of the sad atmosphere that permeates them.

"Sister...I'm back to see you." His disappearance has attracted many people's attention-a black-haired teenager standing in front of a tombstone with flowers in his hand.

"Someone came here first... Is it Levi?" Joshua sighed as the corners of the petals were gradually decayed. "But there are actually two bunches... Is the other bunch of lilies? Well... he still remembers his sister likes lilies."

"Hey!" A vigorous voice sounded. Among the three people who were looking for something in the mountains and plains before, a panicked girl hurried over, "Where have you been?"

"Found it." Jill saw the existence of Joshua at a glance. "Please, don't be like this. Why do you run into such a place alone?"

"This is my own personal business. It's you, why are you here?" Joshua said coldly, "I said you don't need to participate."

"What! It's kind of donkey liver and lungs, we came to you because we were worried about you!" As Joshua expected, the girl in front of her instantly exploded.

"And it's impossible for us to treat your mysterious behavior as if we haven't seen it." Jill said with a wry smile, "After all, we are already grasshoppers on a line... I just looked at it. It seems that this place was ten years ago Was abandoned?"

"We have been in our northern territory three years ago." The eldest brother of the three, Duolun, was the least edgy. He shouted loudly, making Joshua frowned, "I haven't heard of the south at all. There is news that the village has been abandoned...what is the name of this village?"

"'Hamel', this is its former name." Joshua's voice was full of bitterness.

"...I haven't heard of it." Jill and Jost looked at each other, shook their heads, and turned their eyes to Duolun: "Big brother, you?"

"Um, wait... Long ago, the government seemed to have issued a secret decree... No, I can't remember..."

"What? Even Big Brother doesn't know." Jost mumbled dissatisfiedly.

"My business is finished. Let's go. I'm sorry to let my personal affairs disturb you." Joshua lightly interrupted the three brothers and sisters' thinking.

"This is nothing...Speaking of which, your attitude has become too much when you first met, right?...Are you despising us?" Jost dissatisfied.

"Are you qualified to talk about me?" Joshua couldn't help laughing when he remembered the first encounter with the girl. "Aren't your acting skills good enough before? I just acted a little."

"This isn't your nature..." Jost was speechless.

"Think of it this way." Joshua tried not to let people see the sadness in his eyes, "I have nothing to do with the Guerrilla Association."

"Huh... We don't know the specific situation, but it seems that a lot of things have happened to you... However, since you can be so open to us, we don't have to doubt you.... This is better than just the surface. It's much better, right?" Jill said sincerely, and Joshua was silent.

"Besides, when we were chased by the Kingdom Army before, we also had more of your help. From this point of view, I don't care about your arrogant attitude as a kid." Duolun also laughed boldly.

"...It's not necessary, I help you, but I want to use you in the future." Although moved by the sincerity of the other party, I still have to pretend to be cold-this kind of contradiction makes my heart very uncomfortable... …Is this also because of the deterioration of your own functions?

"Huh, what a hardest kid." Although Duolun doesn't have the shrewdness of traditional nobles, it doesn't mean that he is a complete stupid. He can still tell the truth if he is deliberately made, "but Forget it, we originally planned to do the plan you mentioned, so everyone will help each other, and let us make good use of your abilities in the future."

"...That's right. Acting with a "snake" like me is itself a very dangerous thing. In order to achieve the goal... everyone can only use each other." Joshua nodded and sighed in relief.

"This guy is really...not cute at all!" Joost pouted dissatisfiedly. "Why would I treat him like this..." As she said, the girl's face gradually turned red.

"Huh?" Joshua looked at the girl in the sun, and the blush on his cheek spread quickly as he stared at Jost, "Nothing! Don't look at me with that strange look!"

"Okay, okay." Jill came out to make a round, "Then, before our respective goals are achieved, we will be partners. From now on, please take care of us, Joshua!"

"Haha...well, we should start now?" Seeing Joshua nodded, Duolun waved his hand.

"Wait..." When everyone was about to leave, Joshua suddenly looked at the piece in front of Carling's tombstone, "There seems to be something buried there..."

"Something?" Jill looked back. "Ah, indeed."

"This is...a...lid?" Joste leaned aside and carefully examined the small objects Joshua took out of the mud. "It looks a bit familiar..."

"It's the lid of Libel's milk jug." Jill thought vaguely, "I like to drink it very much... but why is it here..."

"...Has Heliga been here..." The truth was beyond Joshua's expectations, but it was reasonable, "I didn't expect him to move so fast... and, because he could find him here."

"Heliga? Is that the imperial boy who dismantled the Fantasia with his bare hands?" Jill expressed surprise to the owner of the name, and even Jost and Doren obviously changed their faces, "I remember you acted with him before. ?"

"Um...but why...why is he so concerned about Hamel..." Joshua fell into deep thought--it was not natural. He is not an orphan here, nor is the girl next to him — Joshua, who has recovered his memory, is sure that they are not here — and according to him, his family is just a border aristocrat of the empire, which has nothing to do with political conspiracy. Not too likely to hook up...

"It seems that there is one more thing that needs to be paid attention to." Joshua, who couldn't think of a reason even after thinking about it, finally gave up thinking for a while, and his eyes turned to the distance again: "Yes. Ah... let's go. Go back to Libel—the land that is about to be shrouded in dark shadows."

In the east of the village, the airship Lynx, once wanted by various countries and belonging to the Capuya family of the air thief group, is lying quietly on the flat ground.
