Our group followed Hex and Desmo to the gate of the city. At this moment, a large number of fully armed combatants were gathering here. It seemed that everyone was doing their best to guard against the tentacle monster outside the gate of the city. However, the performance of all the relevant combatants seemed very different. The most typical comparison was the part of Ravend's soldiers. Although they were very nervous, they were more eager to try, while the other soldiers near them were a little scared. This comparison was understandable to us. After all, Ravend's people had never entered the dungeon to participate in those three tragic battles, but they did not act too arrogantly when facing the tentacle monster. It seems that the quality of the soldiers is still very good.

As soon as we arrived near the city gate, we met Baron Sheldon, who was commanding the defense nearby. It seemed that she was about to follow Ms. Selene to climb the wall, but when they found out that we were coming, they hurried over.

"Barl Sheldon, please let the soldiers retreat and open the city gate." Aphrola went up first and said, "If possible, please let the soldiers stay near the city gate..."

Sheldon hesitated for a moment, but then he saw the two women wearing masked cloaks. Then, along with Ms. Selene who had just been informed by Diana, the two quickly transferred their subordinates away. As for the Knights, Miles and others' reaction was slower, because they had just sent someone to leave the city gate from the side door, intending to surround the tentacle monster who came alone from the back. Fortunately, they did not intend to act recklessly, and they quietly withdrew after seeing the city gate open. Even if they did not send anyone to inform, they retreated quietly to their camp and stood up.

At first I was actually a little curious because I didn't know why I felt that these knights seemed a little out of the crowd in recent times, but later I learned some ridiculous things from Aphrola's mouth. It seemed that the Principality was a little nervous because of some unfriendly misunderstandings and traitors. After that day, messengers came here to understand the situation. Just like the day before yesterday, six messengers from the capital of the Principality arrived at the upper level in one day, and it is said that they also brought the order of Grand Duke Michel to let Miles "safely" handle our relationship with us.

So in fact, Grand Duke Michel chose a conservative diplomatic strategy against us. Well... it seems that it is not just us, but also Meligil and Algasburg. As Aphrola said, in fact, during the period I did not notice, the meal time of the soldiers of the Principality was also staggered from the other people, and it felt like the Principality wanted to break up with all of us. But in my opinion, these situations should be a reluctant choice, because counting the time should be calculated.

Their pre-war deployment with the Kingdom of Solis has reached the most critical moment, so Grand Duke Michel would rather choose to be indifferent to our relationship than to let unstable factors continue to increase the conflict. It seems that Grand Duke should be overwhelmed in the face of Solis's problem. And if nothing unexpected happens, it seems that Chris can only be the diplomatic envoy for the Principality to face our group of people. It seems that Chris will work very hard in the next period of time.

But let me leave the things that happened next. I looked at the slowly opened city gate and couldn't help but subconsciously pinched another slightly cold little hand in my palm. The girl had been dragging her hand over by me since the beginning because her mental state was quite poor. If she didn't do this, she would probably sit there and stare blankly. But when the city gate was opened, some unexpected reactions came from the girl's hand, because she seemed surprised why the quiet tentacle monster outside the door appeared here. In fact, it was not only her, but I was also very surprised. I also noticed that this tentacle monster was the one I had hit on the head before... The scar on its head seemed to have never recovered, and it was precisely because of this that I discovered its identity instantly.

After the city gate opened, the rest of us had dispersed, but we didn't actually leave, but we continued to stand at a far-reaching position with weapons, among which the most elves were the most. However, I didn't care about these. Instead, the two goddesses who had been standing in front of me staring at the tentacle monster and whispering to each other made me feel a little concerned. No matter how they looked at them, they did not come to destroy the monsters, but I didn't think they would watch this tentacle monster like a monkey in the zoo. I always felt that there were too many things they didn't tell us.

"Hey, go up and ask, you are the only one here who knows how to communicate with it." I said, pulling the girl's arm.

"I...I am..." The girl muttered to herself in confusion, but I didn't plan to let her continue like this.

"Don't be stupid, and don't indulge in this boring philosophy of life. Be clear, you have the final say for yourself who you are." I patted the girl on the back a little harder, then took her directly to her and said, "If you want, you can continue to call it the name 'Caria'. If you don't like it, you can give yourself one... Don't worry too much about the story Hex told just now. No matter what, it's over. And even if you have the soul fragments of that person now, you are a newborn you. Besides, no one cares whether you are the real Caria now. I think you might as well create your own life..."

The girl lowered her head and shyed for a long time before slowly raising her head. Then she looked at me and asked with her head tilted, "Do you like the name 'Caria'?"

"I think it's pretty good." I nodded without thinking too much.

"Okay, from now on... I will be the brand new 'Caria'." The girl... No, it should be said to be Caria now. In short, her smile made me feel a little relieved, because I feel that although she can't say she fully accepts this matter, at least it still has a good start. I think she will get better in the future.

Thinking of this, I turned my head and looked at the two goddesses who were still whispering. Although Hex did not plan to eliminate Caria, she did not say how to deal with Caria... because I don't think she would let her go so easily. After all, there is a dominant component in her body, and this title alone makes me feel a little uneasy. For the two goddesses, Caria, who has an enemy body in her body, could not be an irrelevant existence.

And just when I was worried about Erica's future, she took the initiative to walk to the gate of the city and chatted with the tentacle servant. Although it was a dialogue, in my opinion, only Carlia was speaking, because the tentacle monster did not have the organ of mouth, and I guess for it, language may not exist. Perhaps the communication between them uses special abilities such as brain waves, and before I knew it, I changed it from the monster's status to science fiction alien life, and I always felt that this would be easier to accept...

But just as I was guessing the future of Carlia and these tentacle "alien" people, Hex and Desmo suddenly appeared beside them. Before everyone could react, Desmo used some ability to imprison the tentacle monster.

"Hey!" I rushed up and asked, "What's going on?"

"Don't make trouble... Stay aside and watch carefully." Hex stopped me very strongly, and then reached out to pull Caria who wanted to go over.

I grabbed Carlia's arm with concern and pulled her back, and then I could only follow everyone watching Desmo to continue to cast a certain spell. This spell gave me the feeling that it was like I had seen some kind of art fish tank before. It was roughly a polygon box with an almost transparent appearance, and this fragile shell withstands the various rough knocks of the monster inside. Even the claws hidden in its tentacles could not leave a trace on it. And just as the tentacle monster was constantly struggling, clusters of blue and white halos suddenly began to flash below the box. Just as this halo appeared, I noticed that Hex and Desmo's faces became worse.

"What should I do?" Hex asked Desmo with some doubts.

"Try it... maybe there is some help." Desmo walked to the box and put his hand on it. At this time, the monster in the box stopped struggling, as if he had suddenly calmed down. At the same time, a bright golden light flashed out of the box, and a huge and dazzling column of light suddenly rose from the box and slowly dissipated in the air.

Although it was sunrise at this moment, the light in the underground space was not very bright, so everyone would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable after seeing this dazzling light. Even Diana, not far away, seemed to be a little unsteady, and when I hurried up to support her, she glared at her dissatisfiedly.

I know why she is so unhappy. It's just that I don't like Carlia's existence very much, but I don't plan to care about this with her, I just smiled at her reluctantly.

The strong light did not last for a few seconds, and soon the dazzling light gradually dissipated, and then we all looked at the transparent box where the tentacle monster was originally detained. The distorted and ugly figure of the monster was no longer visible there, and instead it reflected a slender and slim human-like shadow, but judging from the structure of the upper body, it should be like a female human.

Sure enough, when Desmo opened the box, a human woman appeared inside, but when we saw each other with our own eyes, we were surprised again, because this human woman was just the upper body, and the lower body was actually the body of a tentacle monster, and it felt even more distorted than before. Even the joint between the human body and the monster limbs was exposed with a large amount of flesh and blood tissue, which looked very scary at first glance.

However, just talking about the human form on the upper body, it does not seem to have much problem. It’s just that she has no hair on her head, no eyebrows, and her eyes are half open. In addition, she is crawling on the ground and constantly fumbles around with her hands, giving people a strange feeling like she is a blind person. And I accidentally found a scar on her right cheek, which made me feel quite uncomfortable.

"Hex, who is she?" I asked, pulling the panic-ridden Caria, and walked over and asked first.

Hex turned to look at Caria, then smiled at me very subtly and said, "I still expect to get some explanation from her..."

"No doubt, this is a human..." Desmo made up a cloak and changed it to this half-human and half-monster woman, then picked it up without hesitation and said: "The problems here are getting more and more..."

Desmo just looked at Hex bluntly, as if he was complaining about something, but I felt that these things should have nothing to do with us, because I saw that Desmo's eyes had lost the tenderness he used to, and became the seriousness he had in the previous battle.

"I'll go there first, you can escort them away." After Desmo said that, he opened his portal and walked in. Following him was the dimly lit city in the distance. A huge golden cover slowly rose from the center of the city and slowly enveloped the entire city.

Hex stood there with his hands holding his chin in his arms for a while, then slowly turned around and reached out to Caria and said, "Follow me."

She said something without such a daze, and anyone would be very confused for a moment. But Carlia seemed to have figured out something, so she broke free from my palm after a brief hesitation and walked slowly towards Hex.

"Oh hey! I can tell if it's okay?" I rushed up and grabbed Carlia's shoulder with dissatisfaction, and then asked Hex, "What do you want her to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her." Hex said with a very rude pulling Carlia's arm: "If she wants to integrate into this world, she must make changes. Now I'm about to take her to 'change'. I think you will see a real 'new Carlia' soon. But... you can't participate in the next thing. I suggest you withdraw from here before noon."

Hex's tone sounded full of jokes in the first half, but I knew very well that she did not lie to me, but the tone of the second half turned into very serious instantly. I think this is the most critical factor. The two goddesses are about to do something amazing here, and these things are not something that we, the "mortals" can interfere with. This is not a request, it is just a warning, and the other party who warned should not be us, because there are leaders of various forces standing not far behind. Although everyone may not be able to understand Hex's whole sentence, I think everyone should hear the order of evacuation very clearly. After all, Hex deliberately raised the voice of that sentence a lot.

"Total withdrawal? Or..." I asked when I tried to determine the scope of this command.

"Just leave this underground space. As for the upper channel, you can still walk around inside. Maybe you will really find some treasure... In short, don't enter here no matter what." Although Hex still answered with a smile, I felt that there was no smile in her expression.

Obviously, there was an order that could not be opposed at this time, so I did not intend to ask the reason. Perhaps it was caused by professional habits. In short, I didn’t want to know what I shouldn’t have asked at all.

I sighed, then looked at Caria and waved at her.

"goodbye."

I tried hard to keep myself smiling and calm, and this is my truth, and I hope Carlia can respond.

Caria was a little stunned, but then she waved at me imitating my movements. However, she did not say goodbye, but followed Hex directly into the portal.

It was a bit regretful, but I was very happy to be able to leave here and return to the warm home, so I tried to move my arms and stretched happily. But when I turned around and planned to chat with Diana, I found that she had left early, and through Aphrola's prompt, I also learned that she seemed in a very bad mood.

"Okay okay, I'll discuss the plan for retreat with them. You go and take care of Diana first. She is very 'dissatisfied' with you." Aphrola left after saying this, but I was very surprised why she was in such a good mood. I heard that she was still as melancholy as autistic not long ago, but now she looks like she is on tiptoe and jumping up like melancholy?

I scratched my head, and then walked to Ruby who was standing not far away to pick her up. I heard that she had suffered a considerable injury before, and her hands almost broke, but now she looked like she was holding the botlant in her hands and licking them all over, so she couldn't tell at all that there was any problem. But just as I was about to hug her, Ruby slipped away from my hands flexibly, and then she stood 5 meters away from me and pouted at me.

"You are so smelly... the monster's smell..." After saying that, Ruby also jumped and ran away, and Liz and Parfi hurriedly followed.

Now looking back at me, it seemed that I had only become like a plastic model and the stone man Kana was still standing there, but I didn't think it was waiting for me, but was simply not ordered. And just as I was about to go over and call it back together, Liz suddenly ran over and called Kana away, and gave me a wink in the middle.

Only then did I realize that everyone was intentional. As for who planned the "isolated plan" I was too lazy to guess. Anyway, there would be no one besides her. But what Ruby said before made me sad. For this reason, I specially raised my arms to smell the smell on my body. But apart from the little bloody smell that was stained with during the battle underground, I didn't smell any "stench" on myself. After thinking about it for a long time, only the "monster" in the end reminded me of Caria.

I smiled helplessly, and then walked towards the wooden house with scattered steps.
