The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

I don’t know how the others are doing during the time that Strelitzia suddenly came down.

Logically speaking, they should have already started to retreat.

It feels like quite a long time has passed now.

"There are no signs of firemen nearby. It looks like they cleaned up very successfully."

Strelitzia glanced around.

She and Theresa climbed all the way from the bottom of the cliff to the top with great difficulty.

There were no signs of firemen activity around, presumably the adventurers had cleared them all out.

"Let's go quickly too."

Strelitzia saw the blue stone beside the cliff and found the way back.

"Okay..." Theresa nodded and quickly followed.

There was still a sense of anxiety in the air, but it no longer had the tension and danger it had before.

"Have we...succeeded...?"

Theresa looked at Strelitzia's back, her voice hesitant.

She could intuitively feel Xiao He's inner emotions, which were definitely not calm, but rather irritability that had been suppressed for a long time.

From the beginning of the action to now, we have hardly stopped, and have been running and fighting.

Strelitzia didn't have her usual easy smile.

"Success? Perhaps only temporarily. We haven't truly solved the problem at the border, we've merely...delayed the disaster."

Her voice echoed in the empty wilderness, carrying with it an indescribable exhaustion and helplessness.

Theresa's fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

"Perhaps everything we do is just to tell future generations that there were people who resisted."

Strelitzia raised her head and gazed at the red-orange sky in the distance, her eyes deep and complex. "Faced with unknown fear and oppression, some people still stood up, even though they knew the road ahead was bleak."

"So...what we did...was all in vain?"

Theresa's voice gradually became quieter, almost as if she was talking to herself.

Indeed, their actions this time only brought a brief peace.

The crisis at the border has been temporarily resolved, but the root problem still exists, like a time bomb that may explode again at any time.

From the perspective of completely liberating the border area, their efforts may really be in vain.

"maybe."

Strelitzia turned around and patted Theresa's head.

"But even so, no one will regret it. At least... we have lit a candle, no matter how dim it is, it can illuminate the way for those who come after us."

Strelitzia suddenly smiled with relief and stretched out her arms wantonly.

"I'm so hungry! I want to eat shredded pork noodles. Let's go back and ask the blind man to make us some noodles!"

"it is good."

Theresa nodded, a glint of approval in her eyes.

Thinking back to the shredded pork noodles made by Xiaotao, every bite was full of the taste of home.

"I can already see the blue sky. Honestly, my eyes are getting tired from being here."

Strelitzia looked up at the sky, and the azure blue was like a clean gem, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

She rubbed her eyes gently. The colors at the intersection were almost fully saturated, and her eyes would indeed become blurry if she looked at them for a long time.

"Why is there no one here?"

Theresa narrowed her eyes, but did not see the lively scene she had expected.

Shouldn't people get together at a time like this?

"That's better. If you wait and come back together, others will be able to tell who is missing at a glance."

Strelitzia stepped out of the edge of the border area and landed firmly on the land of Tianyuan.

It was a completely new touch, no longer rustling particles, but solid and warm earth.

"If you come back one after another, the results will be unknown."

"It makes sense."

Theresa took a deep breath, feeling the fresh and free air of Tianyuan, completely different from the oppressive atmosphere of the border area.

Ah...the land of Tianyuan finally doesn't feel that rustling anymore.

"let's go!"

Strelitzia briskly pushed Theresa with her hand and walked towards the Daizora Office.

People in the distance, that is where their Dakong Office is located, a familiar world.

"Aha, so everyone's gathered at our door. Hey, thank you all for your hard work!"

Strelitzia changed her mood, quickened her pace, and ran towards the group of people like a gust of wind, waving with endless enthusiasm and kindness.

"Everyone, don't be so depressed. Now that we're out here, it's not too late to be happy first and then sad. Change your mood!"

Her laughter tried to dispel the heaviness in the air, but as her words echoed in the air, they seemed to cause no ripples.

The silence of the crowd was like an invisible wall, causing her brows to furrow involuntarily.

Theresa also felt this unusual oppression, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.

The two of them quickly walked through the crowd until the scene before them made their pupils dilate instantly and their heartbeats seemed to stop at this moment.

Half of the buildings in Dakong Affairs were reduced to ruins in the explosion.

Strelitzia's eyes trembled and her pace slowed down involuntarily.

"Little blind man..."

Even when facing countless dangerous battles at the border, she had never been as panicked as she was at this moment.

"My home was robbed..."

Tracy stared blankly at the ruins before her.

No wonder everyone around gathered here, watching all this in silence.

"I'm... I'm fine..."

Xiao Tao's voice was weak but firm, like a ray of light squeezed out from the cracks in the ruins.

When Strelitzia and Theresa heard the familiar voice, they immediately turned around, their eyes eagerly searching for the source of the sound.

"I'm glad you're back. You almost broke your promise."

Xiao Tao's voice was a little tired, but still as warm as ever.

The familiar wind blew across her body again. Xiaotao just slowly hugged Strelitzia with both hands and patted her back.

"Xiao Tao..."

Theresa's voice was choked as she walked towards her step by step.

"I'm sorry... I lost your hat... I'll definitely find it for you."

"Let's not talk about this..."

A hat can be found again if it is lost, but if a person is gone, it can never be recovered.

Theresa walked over to Xiaotao and gently rubbed her cheek with hers, noticing that her skin was a little hot.

His eyes then fell on the red ribbon around her eyes.

"This is?"

"I got a little eye injury, and the scar isn't pretty. I can't see anyway, so wearing an eye patch helps cover up the ugliness."

Xiao Tao spoke lightly and in a very calm tone.

"Let's go and rest for a while. The remaining people have arranged accommodation for us."
