After defeating Dionysus, Shaja did not rush back.
Instead, he spent a few more days immersed in the Hestia Familia, using his mystical abilities to write several magic books that even goblins could understand.
It wasn't until the 10th day after they finished conquering the maze that Xia Jia and Xia Lu said goodbye to Belle together.
"I'm leaving now, so I have a few suggestions for you. You can sell the grimoire I gave you, or give it to Lily or Mikoto to use, but just don't give it to Haruhime."
"Huh?" Chunji's ears drooped, wondering why she was suddenly being mentioned.
"Why?" Belle was also puzzled.
Xia Jia grinned: "If you don't want to go bankrupt, listen to me. That's a woman worth 64 billion, you can't handle her!"
Shaga stopped there, then said, "I've left you one ton of those super-hard metals dug out of the maze as reserve funds. You can use them to let that kid Welf practice or make armor. They're at your disposal."
"Like I said before, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can contact me with the Gem Sword. I've left the coordinates of the Anywhere Door on it. If possible, carry it with you at all times."
Belle nodded, appreciating the brotherly concern she received. Knowing there would be another chance to meet, she smiled.
"Remember to bring your mom to visit often!"
Xia Jia waved his hand, "I'm leaving!"
With a flash of starlight, Xia Jia and Xia Lu were teleported to the Sword City.
Ten days ago, he entrusted Liu to bring the coordinates and come here ahead of time.
To completely sever the connection between worlds, returning to the original timeline still requires going through Astrea.
Inside a cramped blacksmith shop in a sword-making city.
Shaga saw the goddess again, along with a more mature Cecil.
She wasn't very nice to Ryu, but she was surprisingly enthusiastic towards Shaka.
"Hey, what was I like in that world? Did I become the strongest blacksmith?"
"No, they're still shouting every day about rebelling and taking my place!"
"Did I succeed?"
"No."
"why?"
"Hmph, because I'm strong!"
"How strong?!"
"Level 7!"
"nonsense!!!"
Cecil showed no obvious rejection; on the contrary, he looked like he had seen a powerful figure.
"Captain!! Take us flying! Cecil, that bastard, all he does is make us forge iron! We want to be adventurers too!"
The other group members stared at him with eyes that seemed to be looking at his thighs.
"Do you have any complaints about Lady Astrea's mission?" Cecil asked haughtily.
Having passed the test of being a group member, Shaka respectfully greeted Astrea.
“I’ve heard everything from Ryu. Don’t be so reserved, Natsumi. Although I’m just an ordinary person now, gods can control timelines. So, Astraea over there is actually no different from me.”
"Really? Concept God is so shameless~~."
Xia Jia put aside his embarrassment and nestled comfortably into the goddess's arms.
outside the room.
Two elves stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.
"Got to go?"
"Ah."
"Well then, before we leave, let's settle this once and for all!"
"Give up...you can't beat me."
"How will you know if you don't try!"
Ryu raised the first-level weapon that the goddess had forged for him, his expression solemn:
"I'm already level 6!"
"What?" Xia Lu's eyes widened.
Continuous sublimation? Although Xia Jia had joked about this special case in her spare time, she never thought she would see it with her own eyes one day!
And it was her own body?
Xia Lu's face was filled with grief and indignation:
"Hey, aren't you ashamed of cheating like this? Where has your noble spirit gone?!"
Ryu blushed deeply and exclaimed, "Cheating...cheating?! How could I possibly do such a thing! Continuous ascension is not something I can control! Even Lady Astrea said it's a miracle from the lower realm!"
Xia Lu looked incredulous: "When in doubt, you resort to miracles in the mortal realm, huh? The last person who tried to use miracles has already been hung up and bled dry!"
"Hey—no more words! Draw your sword! I'm going to give you a good beating today!"
"Come on! I'll beat you up, no need for a sword!"
The battle broke out instantly.
Two streaks of light, one crimson and the other azure, collided at high speed, unleashing a barrage of unpredictable slashes around them.
Shaga rested her chin on her hands and squatted on the doorframe with Cecil, watching quietly.
"Hey Cecil, women are really scary."
"Yes."
Cecil echoed with disdain, "Especially unreasonable women. They abandoned Lady Astrea for five years, and now they have the audacity to come back. As soon as their favor is increased, they start fighting with Lady Charlotte! How annoying."
Unlike Ryu, when Xia Jia introduced Xia Lu, he referred to her as an important mentor who had always guided his growth.
Therefore, Cecil naturally compared the two Ryu.
result……
On one side is a traitor who ran away for five years and, upon returning, even tried to join another clan because of a woman; on the other side is a senior who diligently strives to become stronger for the rise of his clan.
Wow, what a huge difference...
"Hey, Lord Xia, can I go to your side? The 'senior gap' here is just too big."
Shaga raised an eyebrow and glanced at the overly straightforward Cecil: "What, you don't want to work hard anymore?"
Cecil shrugged: "The weapons are finished. It feels like our mission is over too. Hmph, just pure tools."
Shaga couldn't help but recall Astraea's purpose in recruiting Cecil...
It wasn't because of justice or anything else, it was simply because Ryu needed a weapon...
Cecil, a blacksmith, has nothing to do with justice, so it's not surprising that he would have such negative thoughts.
After realizing this, Shaga rubbed the head of the larger Cecil.
"Don't be discouraged. Cecil over there dreams of trampling me underfoot and taking back her captaincy. If you give up now, she'll cry."
"No, not really," Cecil pouted. "It's just that I suddenly have this strange feeling of being used by capitalists."
"The captain is great too, everyone respects me! Anyway, just like you said, for the sake of that other me over there! I will make Astrea's flag fly high in the world again!"
As Cecil said this, he stood up with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling.
"No need for that. I bet the legend of Astrea is still circulating in Orario."
Cecil was utterly defeated.
Chapter 443 Elma Gradually Tamed by Touka
The battle between the two women ended quickly. Taking advantage of a host of Suqing's skills, Xia Lu ultimately emerged victorious.
Liu, her face full of frustration, rubbed her bruised and swollen face from Xia Lu's beating and said:
"I'll definitely beat you next time, to prove I haven't wasted these past few years..."
"You have no chance."
Xia Lu said arrogantly.
In the afternoon, Shaka said goodbye to everyone, leaving Cecil with his four-dimensional pocket and a large amount of the hardest metal.
Shaga, carrying a small portion of the iron block, sealed off the space between the two worlds.
Take the Anywhere Door out of the four-dimensional pocket and open the door.
The two ladies of Astrea exchanged a glance for a second, and as if they understood each other perfectly, they smiled.
"Welcome home...or rather, good afternoon?"
"I am back."
