Chapter 1930 Familiar Visitor
Josh returned to Squirrel Street where his home was with the poster of "Nolan Singer" given by Herlan.
Her home is located in an alchemy shop at the deepest part of Squirrel Street, where she has lived since Josh could remember it.
Squirrel Street is considered the most prosperous street in Nolan, but due to my father's failure, this shop has no customers at all all year round.
The family has always been supported by her mother, who is the apprentice of the Purple Man.
Josh opened the door of her alchemy shop, and just as she expected... there was still no customer in the shop.
When Josh was about to put down her backpack, her sister ran downstairs in panic.
"elder sister…"
Before she could react, a girl slightly shorter than her jumped into her arms.
"What's wrong?"
She touched her sister's forehead with her hand. She was different from her sister... Qiao Ya inherited most of her father's characteristics, and her eye color and hair color were all the same.
But this sister has had a strange physical characteristic since she was born, that is, when she is in a state of panic or frightened... she will change color, or fade?
Josh looked at his sister who was throwing herself in his arms. Half of her long black hair had turned pure white.
This fading symptom is not only reflected in the hair, but also the blood color on Qiao Ya's skin will gradually fade.
"Upstairs... upstairs..." Qiao Ya pointed to the stairs and didn't know how to organize her words. "There is... a girl I haven't seen before."
"Don't be afraid, it's probably just a guest... let's go up and have a look."
Josh comforted his sister, who was different from her... Although Qiao Ya's appearance was almost the same age as her, her mind was still that of a child.
This also resulted in Josh already starting to attend the Higher School of Magic, but this sister still stayed at home and relied on the Magic Network game to make a living.
Another thing is that I am very afraid of strangers.
Josh gradually approached the stairs with his sister, and when he was about to go upstairs, he picked up a long magic wand as a self-defense weapon.
She couldn't rule out the possibility that thieves might break into the store.
Qiao Ya held the hem of her sister's clothes and walked up carefully. Along the way, the color of her hair gradually changed from white to black... This was also a symbol that her emotions were becoming stable.
"Should I celebrate? You're back again."
When Josh came to the second floor, she heard her father Qiao Xiu's voice across the room. She made a shushing gesture to her sister and listened quietly to the conversation inside.
"We'll talk about the celebration later. I still have some things I want to talk to you about."
I don’t recognize a woman’s voice!
When Josh heard this, he immediately held the magic wand in his hand with both hands.
…………
Qiao Xiu held his chin with his hand and looked at the person in front of him, which was the light elf Heluolia who had turned into a seed a long time ago.
Qiao Xiu was not surprised at all that this guy would resurrect and appear in front of him again... But he was not surprised that when he saw Heluolia for the first time, he had the urge to hug this guy.
But the teasing smile on her face reminded Qiao Xiu that she was still the same...saint.
"So what do you want to say? I'm already retired, albeit temporarily."
Qiao Xiu threw Heluolia a bottle of lemon-flavored Sin Karma Coke, which was the latest flavor.
"About the other continent, the land of Alaislota... is mostly deserted now."
Heluolia was not polite. After taking the drink from Qiao Xiu's hand, he directly changed the topic to...the main story.
"Well, I have no interest in Aleslota now. Just don't issue me any more main quests as soon as you are resurrected, okay?"
Qiao Xiu has not paid attention to Areslota during this time, although he still hears some news about Areslota occasionally.
But the erosion of the gray mist caused huge damage to that continent, the biggest damage being the large-scale extinction of the creatures living on Aleslota.
This is true for both animals and plants... The collapse of the ecosystem is not a problem that Qiao Xiu can solve.
This also led to large-scale desertification of the land in Areslota, turning it into an uninhabited area.
Being uninhabited means that no one owns the land. Just like a certain Eagle's great pioneering work in the west, there are now many gold prospectors who specially take boats to Aleslota to look for opportunities.
These are things that have nothing to do with Qiao Xiu.
"You took away the two most important cores of Aleslota. If the land of Aleslota wants to revive...those two cores are the most important." Heluolia said.
"After what you experienced, did you decide to save the world again?" Qiao Xiu asked.
"That thing can get in through the most vulnerable places in the world, and Aleslota is the most vulnerable place."
Heluolia had obviously noticed that someone was eavesdropping, so she used some pronouns to communicate with Qiao Xiu.
"It's impossible for me to return the core. Give up." Qiao Xiu rejected Heluolia's proposal again.
"Return is just one way, the other way is to train them up." Heluolia explained her true purpose.
"nourish?"
Before Qiao Xiu could finish his words, the door to the room was slowly opened.
Qiao Xiu's two daughters, Josh and Qiao Ya, were standing at the door.
As the eldest sister, Josh held a staff tightly in her hand and stared at Heluolia, who was sitting opposite Josh.
As the younger sister, Qiao Ya hid behind her sister and looked at the scenery in the room curiously.
"Uh... let me introduce, this is..." Qiao Xiu rubbed his forehead while thinking about how to introduce Heluolia to his two daughters.
She herself took the initiative and jumped down from the bench.
"Hello, my name is Heluolia." She told them her name enthusiastically.
"Father...who is she?"
Josh ignored Heluolia's self-introduction and stared at Qiao Xiu with a scrutinizing look. She just wanted to hear Heluolia's identity revealed by Qiao Xiu himself.
"she…"
"I grew up under the care of your father. If I have disturbed you, I apologize to you...I...should go."
Wait a minute, what's going on with your confusing explanation!
Although Qiao Xiu did start cultivating the World Tree of Light Elves some time ago, Heluolia's ability to have a human form again has a lot to do with the growth of the World Tree.
But Heluolia's statement was too ambiguous.
The key is that Heluolia's acting skills are still as good as before. Her tone and expression sound like an adopted child who feels uneasy and lost when she meets her biological children.
She said and was about to leave, but Josh called out to her.
"Want to have dinner together?" Josh asked.
