In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The little girl held the staff tightly in both hands and asked carefully.

At this moment, Maria was leaning on her knees, looking at the sky.

wink.

Maria still remembers her.

It was the little fangirl who was interning next to Huafalin.

only……

"You look a lot older."

Maria blinked, her tone calm.

"Are you still interning with Warfarin?"

The girl was stunned for a while, then smiled helplessly.

"That was almost fifty or sixty years ago, ma'am."

Now there is no more youthfulness on her face, and there is a bright meaning in her speech and conversation.

She became very confident and assertive.

On the side, more and more people from the Tower of Babel were moving around.

It seems to be carrying supplies.

"here it is……"

"This is the border area of ​​Kazdel."

The girl spoke slowly and carefully tried to help Maria up, but Maria waved her hand, indicating that she was not so weak.

She could feel a subconscious nausea and discomfort in her body, but this was more due to the power called Godan that she had forcibly plundered.

It has to be admitted that in terms of ability alone, there seems to be no difference between the two, but in terms of accumulation of power, Maria is still much weaker than Godan.

After all, he is a newly born superior who has not even survived the first thousand years.

In front of those truly superior people, Maria might really be worse than a baby.

Because of this, the power plundered from the opponent was completely blocked in Maria's body... It was not a blockage in the actual sense, but a more illusory feeling.

Maria felt that when the blood flowed in her body, it seemed as if invisible crystals were blocking it.

In other words, Maria's body is special and will not be affected by this kind of thing. If she were just an ordinary person, she would have had various problems by now.

But even so, Maria still felt severe pain between her eyebrows.

The puppet has lost contact again at this time... I guess it will take more time to reconnect.

This made Maria feel a little uncomfortable.

The girl next to her looked at Maria carefully for a few seconds, then smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"You look younger than you did then."

She spoke, her voice calm, but Maria just looked at her with some confusion.

The girl also knew why Maria was so confused. She smiled and stretched out her hand, pointing to some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

“I’m not young anymore…”

As she herself said, it was more than 50 years ago when she and Huafalin were interning.

Now, in an average family, she might be a grandmother or something like that.

"Age is never the only criterion for beauty."

Maria shook her head, her tone calm.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"Your words will make me mistakenly think that you are interested in me~"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows at Maria.

"I didn't..."

"No need to say more."

Over the years, the girl has not only lost her youthfulness, but her actions have also become more steady.

She smiled and shook her head, knowing exactly what Maria was going to say.

But she doesn't care.

"You don't have to explain anything to me, ma'am."

The girl said this and stood up again.

Maria followed him, step by step, towards a bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, and the two sat down.

"Although I really want to ask why you are here, and why you left without saying goodbye...but now none of this matters."

The girl looked at Maria and handed her a cup of warm tea.

"Do you know why you are unconscious here?"

This is the border area of ​​Kazdel. Although she knows that Maria is not a Sarkaz, in this place, not many people care whether the other person is a Sarkaz or not.

The battle never stops. If you are not careful, you may not even know how you died.

But when she found Maria, she was alone.

This is very surprising.

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

Faced with the girl's question, Maria hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head slightly.

"Is that right?"

The girl listened to Maria's words, hesitated for a few seconds, and did not ask too many questions, but continued speaking.

"But no matter what, you are at least safe now... right?"

The girl smiled.

Maria also looked around at this time.

"here it is?"

"This is where the Tower of Babel is stationed."

The girl blinked and spoke calmly.

"With the two kings now ruling together, Babel Tower has a lot more responsibilities... We are now responsible for handling this border conflict."

"Two kings ruling together? Border conflict?"

The girl's words made Maria a little confused. The world she had finally become familiar with had suddenly undergone many incredible changes... This gave her a headache.

The girl also realized Maria's doubts and began to explain.

"The Four Emperors' War almost ended fifty years ago... After the war, His Highness felt the current instability of Kazdel, so he ordered the Regent... His Highness Tracys, to unite with the Royal Court and form an organization called the Kazdel Military Council."

"The Military Commission is responsible for military forces, while we at Babel Tower are responsible for economics and diplomacy... Although the division isn't entirely based on this, it's pretty close."

"And now, under their joint governance, the situation in Kazdel is getting better day by day..."

"But friction still breaks out from time to time on the border..."

"Your Highness feels that such matters do not require the direct intervention of the Military Commission, so let Babel handle it. If the situation really escalates, then the Military Commission will intervene."

As the girl spoke, she gradually made up for the memories that Maria had lost over the years.

After thinking about it for a while, Maria also understood.

Obviously, Ducare's rebellion had really made them determined.

We can’t allow the power of the royal court to continue to act recklessly!

The so-called Military Committee is probably a means for Theresa to weaken the power of the royal court and consolidate the power of the Sarkaz.

And the reason for choosing Tracys... is very simple.

Because they are brother and sister...

This may sound a bit like nepotism, but it is indeed the best solution at the moment.

Although both of them knew that they and others would go astray sooner or later, before that watershed moment came, the two sides were the most trustworthy support.

only……

How much longer can this last?

The reason why Tracy and Theresa can coexist peacefully for a long time is not only because both sides make concessions to a certain extent, but more importantly, it is because the legitimacy of Kazdel is in the hands of the Demon Lord Theresa.

Now she has promoted Tracy to regent, which also means that Tracy shares the power of the Demon King to a certain extent.

And power can expand his will infinitely.

It won't be long before Tracys grows to the point where he can compete with Theresa.

At that time, can their peace continue?

Maria sighed slightly.

The girl next to her blinked and then shook her head.

"Do you think so?"

"Ok?"

"In fact, since the establishment of the Military Commission, many people have had such doubts."

The little girl curled up her legs slightly, hugged her hands on her knees, and spoke in a calm tone.

"After all, anyone can see that these two have completely different governing philosophies. Coexistence is nearly impossible... But it's undeniable that this arrangement has made Kazdel even more powerful..."

"We are also moving forward step by step, groping step by step..."

"As for those people's concerns...who knows what will happen in the future?"

As the girl spoke, there was no sense of loss or regret in her words. On the contrary, she was still full of hope for the future.

This may also be a consistent feature of the Tower of Babel.

People here all have some unrealistic idealism to a certain extent.

Maria didn't know how she should evaluate these people. She could only sigh in silence.

"Hopefully."

"Oh, speaking of which..."

The girl looked at Maria and suddenly came to her senses. "I haven't asked you why you are here yet?"

Although she had just asked Maria why she was unconscious here, at that time the girl just wanted to ask Maria if she was attacked.

The question now is why Maria appeared in this border area.

Logically speaking, not many people would like to come here, right?

"..."

Maria hesitated.

The girl was silent for a few moments and then shook her head helplessly.

"If you really don't want to say it, then you don't have to explain it."

"Don't you care?"

"No...I just trust you."

The girl smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"You are a good friend of Dr. Warfarin, and Dr. Warfarin is a trustworthy person... If that's the case, then I believe you are trustworthy too..."

"But, from now on, we may not be able to act with you."

The girl sighed regretfully when she said this.

After noticing Maria's gaze, she pointed to the black spot in the distance that was gradually approaching this side.
