Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

Walking out of Malvin's mage tower, Reji rubbed the little nose of Vielsia, who was held in his arms.

"How was it? Was that uncle's tea good?"

"Delicious! I finished it all!" The little girl put her hands on her hips, looking like she wanted to show off to Reji.

Freya beside them covered her face, full of self-blame.

She couldn't stop her.

In the blink of an eye, Vielsia had already poured all the tea leaves in.

As for Reji, he was naturally happy when he heard it. If he remembered correctly, those tea leaves should have been collected by Malvin from all over the world. Each one was not only tea leaves but also had magical effects such as consolidating magic power and enhancing spell comprehension.

The legendary great mage himself was usually reluctant to drink them, but now , this little devil had swept them all up.

Looking at the little princess's appearance, still licking her lips with lingering desire, she was a complete foodie.

Oh no, if he kept spoiling her like this, would I fatten up the future Vielsia?

Reji felt that he should let Freya properly restrict the little girl later.

"Brother, what did you and that uncle talk about?"

On the way back to the inn, Vielsia blinked her eyes and asked curiously in a coquettish manner.

Although Freya pretended not to care at this time, she was actually perking up her ears. As the Hero's Saintess, it would be a lie to say she wasn't interested, especially since the Hero had deliberately sent her away, making Freya even more curious.

"Just talking about some future plans."

"Future... plans?" Vielsia tilted her little head, indicating that she didn't understand.

"Well, Vielsia, if one day in the future, Brother and you get separated, what will you do?"

Reji didn't answer directly but asked the little girl first.

Hearing this, the young Elven princess's face, which had been quite happy just now, instantly fell.

Although she had only been with Reji and Freya for less than half a day, how to put it...

It was like when she was very young, her family was extremely poor, she couldn't eat or dress warmly and life was very difficult, but her cousin from the city came to visit her. Although the time was short, he always brought various beautiful toys and took her to eat all kinds of delicious food.

Now, the feeling Reji gave Vielsia was just like that.

Before, she rode on the Elven magic wood starship, wandering in the cosmic dimension. Every day, she could only be allocated a very pitiful small portion of food. Her daily activities were basically all under the strict supervision of her Grandma Nazha, constantly practicing hard and meditating on magic power.

But since being taken away by Reji, in this half-day, not only did she have a big meal and sleep on the soft big bed in the inn, she also played games on the crowded grand stage and went to the mage tower to meet that human mage and many delicious teas.

Plus, there was an innate feeling of closeness that she liked very much for some reason.

So, when she heard about being separated from Brother Reji, Vielsia immediately waved her little fists anxiously, "Then, then of course I have to quickly find Brother back! I'll search the whole world to find you!"

"Good girl! Brother thinks the same way and will do the same!" Reji happily rubbed the little girl's head hard.

But in his heart, Reji couldn't help sighing and silently apologizing to Vielsia.

Unless he gave up that "Demon King" line from the second playthrough.

Choosing to start all over again.

Otherwise, according to history, the day of separation was inevitable.

That was why he had made that request to Malvin earlier.

Tidying up his emotions a bit.

Reji continued to explain to the confused little girl, "But you see, searching for each other all over the world like this is too inefficient. It might take a very, very long time. So, I asked that very powerful uncle to establish a secret base for us!"

"Secret... base?"

"Yes, this way, once we get separated and lose contact, no matter where we are, we will immediately return to this agreed-upon secret base. After gathering there, won't we be able to meet again!"

"Yay! Secret base! Mm-hmm, then I won't be afraid of getting separated from Brother! Vielsia likes it! Brother, quickly tell me where the secret base is!"

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes sparkled, and she was extremely excited. She tugged on Reji's clothes and acted coquettishly, very eager to know.

"Haha, don't be in a hurry. It takes time for the secret base to be built. But, Brother can tell you the name of our 'base' in advance."

"What's it called, what's it called!"

"Ilinor."

"I-li-nor. Mm! Vielsia remembers! Ilinor, Ilinor!"

The little girl repeated it several times, her face full of seriousness and concentration as if she wanted to engrave this name into her mind.

"Okay! Then if Brother disappears in the future, I will go to Ilinor to find Brother. But now, Brother also has to promise Vielsia that you will definitely go there to meet me and have a reunion with Vielsia!"

The little Elven princess said and held out her cute little pinky to Reji.

When Reji's big hand also reached out, they hooked each other's pinkies.

Seeing that the "contract" was signed, a happy smile reappeared on the little girl's face. Then she plucked up her courage and quickly approached Reji's cheek, using her small and very cute soft lips to give a hard kiss.

"This... this is a reward for Brother..." Although young, she still blushed a little. Vielsia lowered her head shyly.

But the poor little girl was quickly "mua"-ed back by Reji on her porcelain-like tender cheek.

"Then this is also Brother's reward for Vielsia!"

Freya, seeing such an intimate interaction between the Hero and the little girl, should have felt very heartwarming, but for some reason, she always felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.

Especially at the end, when Reji deliberately whispered the name of that "secret base".

Freya counted her ears and tried hard for a long time but didn't hear it.

This feeling was like being abruptly cut off at the most exciting part.

The Saintess's heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

No, no big deal!

I..I don't care at all!

And I definitely wasn't jealous of a child!

Freya honestly denied that feeling of jealousy.

But in fact, from the outside, the Saintess herself didn't even notice that her little mouth was almost pouting up to the sky.

After returning to the inn, the innkeeper and the surrounding guests were still enthusiastically discussing the interesting news from the testing square today, among which the eight-segment shining little girl easter egg naturally took the lead.

The innkeeper even joked with Reji, saying that since you also have a child with you, could it be the lucky one from the square?

It was normal for people not to recognize Reji and Vielsia.

After they left, Malvin immediately stepped forward as an official, prohibiting the leakage of the images and footage at that time, especially regarding the appearance of Reji and the other two, under the pretext of "protecting the contestants' privacy".

Although it would definitely still spread privately, the intensity was much smaller. Moreover, unlike Reji's original world, in this fantasy world of swords and magic, no one dared to disobey a legendary great mage standing at the top of the human magic world.

Under the official cooling down, the public still talked about it with great interest, but the protagonists of the event had long become blurred, just a mysterious little girl.

Plus, in the following days, several new dark horses with seven-segment talent appeared, attracting and diverting the public's attention.

Now, Reji and Vielsia walking on the street were basically no different from ordinary people and didn't have to worry about being recognized again at all.

There was still more than a week before the competition began.

Reji would continue to follow the original plot and face the contestants. However, in order to make up for the energy of the Sage Stone lost on Vielsia before, he still needed to find some other ways.

Just when he was worrying about how to earn more energy, Reji accidentally glanced at an abandoned wooden box by the roadside on the street.

Suddenly, he had a whimsical idea, and a certain instinct from being a "player" began to stir.
