Chapter 874 Identity Exposed
"How could that be? I've been very busy lately."
As the clerk beside him watched without saying a word, Avis casually put the confidential intelligence information in his hand back on the tray and smiled back at Fiona.
"However, the ripples of fate have brought me inspiration. You may need some help these days."
"I dare not trouble your majesty. Fiona can take care of herself."
Putting a government document in her hand on the reviewed part slowly, Fiona puffed her cheeks slightly, staring at Avis with her big lake blue eyes, looking like a majestic duchess.
"Okay, I believe this."
Looking at the girl with a hint of dissatisfaction in her polite attitude, Avis waved his robe sleeves with a little amusement, indicating that all administrative staff and maids in the city lord's hall should leave.
As all outsiders left, the towering carved bronze door closed with a creaking sound. Avis walked to Fiona's desk, with the hem of his black silk robe rolled up, and leaned on it casually.
"But, Miss Fiona, don't you want to return to your own world line?"
"Return to my world line?"
Hearing this, Fiona, who was sitting behind the large desk, was stunned for a moment, and then a complex look suddenly flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to go back soon. But before that, you need to do something for me."
Nodding slightly, Avis stood up again and walked in front of the girl.
"So, what do you need me to do... brother?"
Looking up slightly, Fiona looked into Avis's black eyes and asked in a low voice.
"... When did you find out?"
Avis was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl's eyes staring at him, and he was silent for a while, and then laughed, admitting the girl's guess in disguise.
"It is impossible for a ninth-level existence to appear out of thin air without any origin, not to mention that it is a ninth-level prophet. But I asked His Majesty of the Silent Country, and the family had no information records related to you before.
And, when we get along, you always give me a familiar feeling."
Pouting, the little girl looked a little dissatisfied.
"Why did you hide it from me, brother?"
"I can't always be by your side, Fei. Nothing can be a better exercise than the real world."
Looking at Fiona's angry look, Avis blinked.
"Besides, it shouldn't be hard for you to guess my identity..."
However, before Avis could finish his words, the little girl with long light blonde hair suddenly rushed up and crashed into Avis' arms!
"Brother, I miss you!"
The girl's voice was already trembling with tears, and the softness deep in Avis' heart also trembled, as if tightly wrapped by this sudden warmth.
He gently hugged the girl in his arms, feeling the long-lost and familiar dependence, and a gentle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, Fei, everything during this period, I have seen it, you have done a good job!"
He whispered softly, his voice was low and gentle, slowly flowing in the air, warming the space where only the two of them were alone at the moment.
"Growing up is always accompanied by loneliness and challenges. I hope you can learn to be independent, not only because I am your brother, but also because you are Fiona, the bright star in the prophecy, with a future of infinite possibilities."
"But, brother, I am very scared. I am afraid that one day I will lose you, just like losing my parents in this world..."
The girl's tears finally fell, dripping on Avis's clothes, but it seemed to drip into his heart, stirring up circles of ripples. She snuggled up to Avis tightly, her voice was as thin as a gossamer, as if she wanted to pour out all the thoughts and uneasiness in her heart.
"Don't worry, Fei, don't worry, I'm here."
Gently patting Fiona's back, Avis softly comforted the sobbing little girl.
...
After a while, Fiona took the initiative to pull herself out of Avis's arms and reorganized her demeanor.
"So, do you need me to do anything now?"
The girl's voice still had a hint of nasal sound, but her eyes had gradually returned to their former firmness from sadness.
"Here, put this on and go out with me."
With a smile, Avis casually put a cloak that looked like a misty veil on the table, and then walked to the small door behind the hall. Although Fiona was a little confused, she still put down the documents in her hand, put on the cloak and followed him.
Under the cover of the magic cloak, the guards who were guarding turned a blind eye to the two people passing by.
The two walked through the palaces, walked out of the city lord's mansion, and entered the busy streets of the central city. The afternoon sun fell on the two people, giving them a layer of light golden hazy light.
The city of Karlas is now in a period of rapid recovery after the end of the war. The streets and alleys are extremely hot at the moment. Humans, orcs, elves, dwarves...
Whether natives or players, people of all races are in a hurry, but most of them are filled with the colors of peace and hope after the end of the war. They are busy shuttling on the streets, trading, talking, or admiring the prosperity of the city.
The air was filled with the smell of various foods and spices, and the sound of metal banging from the blacksmith shop in the distance, and the figures of craftsmen busy repairing the damage of war.
Anvis and Fiona walked in the bustling streets one after the other. The noisy crowd passed by them. Under the magic cloak, they seemed to be bystanders of this prosperous world. Although the noise around them was rising and falling, they seemed to be in another world.
"The city is gradually getting back on track, and this is your credit."
Walking in front, Anvis turned his back to Fiona and spoke in a calm voice.
"War brings pain and destruction, but it also makes people cherish peace more."
"These are not my own credit, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Hearing this, Fiona shook her head gently, and the light golden light projected by the afternoon sun danced in her hair, like a jumping golden elf.
"Those soldiers who fought to the death to protect their homes in the war, and those craftsmen who quietly repaired the city after the war, everyone worked hard, and they are the foundation for the recovery of Karlas."
The girl's voice was very light, but it seemed to penetrate the surrounding noise and reach Anvis' ears directly.
Hearing this, Avis turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Fiona's soft and firm face through the gap of the magic cloak, and then revealed a trace of gentleness.
"It seems that you have grown a lot, Fei."
"Everyone will grow up, not to mention my current situation."
Looking at Avis's eyes, Fiona smiled a little embarrassedly, and her big lake blue eyes flashed with light, as bright as stars.
"Although I don't have much personal power, since I am in this position, I can always do something for this world."
