Chapter 82: Next

Half an hour later, the portal in the camp was activated again, and Erica followed the magicians from Algasburg quietly to watch the incredible portal operation.

The shape of this portal is a huge crystal frame erected, which is about 3m×5m in size. At first glance, it does have a bit of a door frame. All kinds of colorful lights seem to flow in the crystals with not very transparent crystals, especially at the moment when the portal is activated, these lights are terrible in the speed of passing through the crystals, and they also form bright colors similar to neon lights.

Norma, who stood beside Erica, fell into a somewhat crazy addiction when she saw this portal because she discovered that the crystal-like substance in front of her was actually a super high concentration of magical condensation, and its specific concentration exceeded her own cognition. Norma even secretly compared it in her heart. Even if she pulled out the magic power of all the magicians in the public, it would probably not be able to create a half-door frame. In short, Norma's mood at this moment was completely indescribable. In her eyes, these Algas magicians were almost at the same level as "gods" in her mind. For this reason, even if she was extremely excited, she did not dare to express this wild excitement because she was afraid that any noise she made would disturb this historic moment.

Compared with Norma's high-pitched mood, Erica next to her seemed a little calmer, but Erica could still understand Norma's excitement. Just like the topic she talked with Diana before, the sentence "overdeveloped technology and magic" in her cognition can actually be directly applied to Norma's current state. "Over-advanced magic is like a god" is probably enough to express why Norma is so excited at this moment. However, as a person from another world, Erica's own cognition and common sense are different from Norma, so she has no other insights except that this portal is magical.

However, compared with the two extremes between Erica and Norma, the members of Algasburg sandwiched in the middle seemed a little "normal". After learning that Aphrola was safe and sound, everyone naturally relaxed their previous tense mood. But when they learned that Aphrola had established a newer, larger and more stable portal in Algasburg, everyone became excited again. Of course, this time the excitement was positive, because this was also a very great moment for them. Therefore, the members of Algasburg who were staying here had already decorated the temporary building as festive as a festival. There were even two rows of people holding a large bottle of champagne-like wine bottles on both sides of the exit platform waiting for a critical scene to appear.

As the light in the door frame was about to turn into one, a light curtain suddenly condensed in the center of the door frame. The color shown in the light curtain was still vortex at first, but in the excitement of everyone, the vortex gradually began to calm down, and finally the color in the light curtain stabilized into a radial shape. However, in Erica's opinion, this seemed to be the final form, because she did not hear the sound of champagne opening.

Within a few minutes of anticipation, the portal's light curtain finally turned into a pure white light. At the same time, Erica also noticed that the magicians in Algasburg around began to slowly move forward. It seemed that it was the time for the stars to appear. Everyone present was excited and stared at the steps at the exit. There was almost no other movement in the entire space except for the slight sound of the magic light curtain. Even Erica could not hear the breathing of the others beside her at this moment.

"clatter-"

A brand new and shiny leather boot emerged from under the light curtain, and the metal soles of the boots stepped on the steps and made a crisp sound. Then Avrola, who was tired, showed up from the light curtain with a cardboard box that he didn't know what was installed.

When Aphrola completely walked out of the light curtain, everyone was stunned for a few seconds, especially in Norma's eyes, Erica found that her chin was almost dislocated at that moment. This was not difficult to understand, because everyone had been looking forward to it that Aphrola could walk out of the portal with her head held high, and then formed this historic shot with everyone's cheers and applause, as well as the flowers and champagne around her.

But the real situation is that Aphrola looks like she is staying up late for several days. She is wearing dirty clothes and looks like the casual clothes she wore when she was in the ruins of Enval. The shiny leather boots she thought before now seemed to be caused by the oil on her shoes reflecting light. Her hair was messy and it seemed that it was uncomfortable to see it. She also had a piece of food that looked like a compressed dry food in her mouth. The most fatal thing was that the moment she walked out, the compressed dry food fell from the corner of her mouth because it was bitten, and it directly made a ground of biscuit scraps on the brand new platform.

"Ah... It's a pity..." Aphrola looked down at her feet and said with a weak regret: "This is my favorite taste..."

"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-"

The sound of champagne opening around sounded one after another, and the magicians around who were holding metal plates to prepare for branding were also busy with their work one after another. At the same time, the magicians below the platform also began to use their various subtle magic to spray various things like colorful snowflakes around to set off the atmosphere.

When Aphrola walked down from the platform lazily, senior executives led by a group of temporary managers in the camp rushed up to celebrate with Aphrola. Of course, Monica was also among them, and her smile seemed very fanatical. If anyone did not know who this group of people was, Erica really thought she had come to a religious missionary scene.

The celebrations of the crowd did not make Aphrola happy, but her expression became worse and worse. It seemed that she didn't like this noisy place very much. However, everyone present in Algasburg seemed to understand this situation, so the noisy congratulations did not last long. In short, after a relatively long period of time, everyone changed their sight because many people came out of the portal, and they seemed to have a very good status. At least in Erica's eyes, the long staff in the hands of the leading woman was more gorgeous than Aphrola's diplomatic scepter. While Erica was observing the other party, the other party just happened to look at her.

The two of them did not express any expression because they both needed to deal with what they were doing at the moment. For example, what this woman needs to solve the most now is the group of people who rushed up to greet him. Erica lowered her head and walked from the crowd to Aphrola, and then took the heavy cardboard box from her without hesitation.

"It's so heavy, what's inside?" Erica walked out with the box in one hand holding the other with Aphrola.

"The new stuff I've made in the past few days..." Aphrola put his hand on Erica's shoulder and said softly: "I'm so tired, take me home, I need a good sleep."

Erica felt that the center of gravity of Aphrola's body was shifting a little. It seemed that she was really tired, so Erica did not continue to say more, but instead held the other party's body and accelerated her pace towards the door. When she passed by Norma halfway, Erica was still dragging her in a daze. After handing the box to Norma, Erica leaned over and carried Aphrola who was asleep and walked out of the door of the temporary building.

Just as the three of them left here, the female leader who had just gotten off the platform was curious and looked at their departure backs and asked casually: "Is that person... the new God-Selected One?"

Everyone looked back at the door, but at this moment Erica and the others had already walked out. In desperation, everyone had to respond reluctantly.

"Sir, do you need me to call them back?" Monica asked.

"No need, they seem to be very busy, so don't bother them first." The woman, who was the director, looked back at Monica, and then smiled and said, "Let us find a quiet place first. We need to listen to your complete collection in the past few days, especially about the gods."

After saying that, the female curator led everyone to the exit on the other side in the crowd. At the same time, the portal was still not closed, and a large number of armed personnel were escorting many seemingly important goods slowly appearing from the light curtain. The heads were people who looked like two officers, one man and one woman.

The appearance of this group of armed personnel instantly aggravated the atmosphere at the scene. Or it can be said that when they appeared, the mood of the people present increased a lot again. Because they were the regular combat power of Algasburg, a formal army called the "Algasburg Garrison Army".

As an army dominated by magic, all of them did not wear any obvious weapons such as magic wands. On the contrary, they were holding some weapons that were obviously like war halberds and were wearing a long sword on their waists. Although the two officers in the lead did not hold war halberds, they had two long swords on their waists. In addition to weapons, all of the people in this group of troops did not wear obvious metal protective gear. Everyone's clothes seemed to be made of cloth, and the two officers were also wearing leather windbreakers and military caps that were obviously shaped like industrial style.

The two officers stood on the platform and looked around for a while, then they looked at each other helplessly.

"Astrad Schuh seems to have left first..." The male officer took off his hat and stroked his hair and turned his head to the woman, saying, "It seems that she is so tired. She probably has been taken away to rest. And... Director Catherine left first..."

"Courselin has her own tasks to do, and in terms of function, she is our boss, so she doesn't need to notify us of any actions." The female officer kept looking around with her hands straight, then turned around and said solemnly to the male officer: "Commander Aruel, I suggest you keep your military appearance as the people are paying attention to us, so we cannot..."

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're so boring, Kate, I really don't know what you learned in the officers' school..." The male officer waved his finger at the other party, then turned his head and waved his hand in the crowd and said, "They are not ordinary people. Although most of these people are students, the places where they join in the future will be places of the level of the 'library', that is, each of them is an extremely precious existence."

With the male officer waving his hand, many young girls below also began to wave to him, as if many people knew this officer. After almost saying hello, the male officer put on his hat and turned around and smiled at the female officer, saying, "What they need is not us with a stern face, but to see the ease of smiles of our guardians who come to help and protect them."

After saying that, the male officer patted the other party on the shoulder, then walked to the portal behind and carried out a whole team of the team that had just assembled. However, the female officer was still staying there for a while. She glanced back and forth at the crowd below, and was very disappointed that she did not see the face she wanted to see before pouting and following.

"Monica...is not here..."

At the same time, the three people from Erica had already arrived at the entrance of the camp.

Because Aphrola was unable to drive, Erica's pickup truck could not be driven back today. Because there was a Wrangler parked in the city, she planned to just let the pickup truck be stored here first. Anyway, the people from Algasburg would not rush to leave. Erica also analyzed the previous conversation with Monica, and she felt that the people from Algasburg seemed to be staying here for a long time, and the reason was probably because of Sevena and the others.

After arriving at the camp gate, Erica borrowed a carriage with the help of several camp staff. However, this carriage with the obviously emblem of the Principal of Michel seemed to be something they rented from Chris, but this did not prevent them from lending it to Erica. Anyway, there were quite a few carriages in the camp. The coachman in each carriage seemed to be under Chris's command, so the trust in them in the camp was just as reasonable. At least they agreed that the carriage was parked on the inside of the camp and specially prepared a rest area for the coachmen.

After Erica and the others got on the carriage, Norma kept leaning against the doors and windows of the car, looking at the Algasburg camp gradually moving away. Her reluctant mentality was really funny, so Erica thought that she should find time to ask Aphrola to give her a license or something to put her in for a good tour. After all, Norma had helped herself a lot before, and this requirement didn't seem too much.

However, Erica did not intend to tell the other party about this idea first, because she felt that she needed to breathe in from Aphrola first. But now looking at Aphrola who was leaning against her arms and unable to wake up, Erica could only shake her head helplessly. In order to kill the time of the ride, Erica decided to open the box Aphrola brought to take a look.

After opening the box, there was a box of oil paper bags inside. Erica picked up one of them in disappointment and opened them. Sure enough, she was holding a piece of compressed biscuits. However, these compressed biscuits looked a little different from those in stock. Influenced by curiosity, Erica decided to taste them.

Unexpectedly, when Erica took a bite of the compressed biscuit, she suddenly found that the taste of the thing seemed completely different from what she expected. This biscuit that looked like a grain product was actually in its mouth and it actually showed a paste shape, and it was even a soft and smooth texture similar to jelly pudding. But what surprised Erica the most was the taste. The compressed biscuit in her mouth actually tasted fresh fish, and even after chewing it for a long time, it still had a sweet and strong aroma, as if it was very comfortable to drink a sip of fish porridge.

Erica tasted it for a long time before swallowing the cookies in her mouth. Then she looked at Aphrola who was sleeping soundly in her arms. Erica gently patted her butt and said, "Don't tell me, you are tired of this kind of virtue to create such a pile of compressed dry food... What's the point of telling me what you are good about..."

After waiting for a long time, Aphrola did not react at all, Erica once again had no choice but to bite the biscuits in her hand.

A few minutes later, in a reception room on the third floor of the Welsk City Hall, Chris, who had just returned to the city, was returning to meet his brother Patrick.

"My dear Chris, how about the manor in the suburbs?" Patrick said rudely on the comfortable couch in the living room: "When will I be invited in for fun?"

"My dear Patrick, you should be glad that your father is not here, otherwise he would whip your butt when he sees your dandy character." Chris didn't care much about Patrick's behavior, but she still chose to speak malice and say hello to the other party.

This was a private meeting. When the ladies arranged tea and snacks, they all left the room. When the last ladies closed the soundproof door of the living room, Chris took the lead and asked, "What are you here to do?"

"Father asked me to come into contact with the Gods... If possible, I'm trying to meet the goddess." Patrick was still lying on the sofa, and casually picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he chewed and said in a slight manner: "No matter who you can, it would be better if you can see them all."

"Are you crazy, sir?" Chris frowned and said with a righteous expression: "If you meet the goddess with your foolish behavior, it will only cause the Principality to suffer irrescue..."

"Well... is that?" Patrick slowly sat upright, then picked up a cup of black tea and tasted it gracefully and said: "Look at your response so fiercely... Is the matter of the gods true?"

"Don't my father believe it?" Chris asked.

"No, my father naturally believes in your words, and I am the one who doesn't believe in it. My father really plans to let me try to meet the goddess. The latter sentence is just a joke I added myself, don't care." Patrick smiled angrily.

"Just? I'm afraid it's a test?" Chris also picked up a cup of black tea, but before tasting it, he still smiled disdainfully: "Put your boring ghost thoughts, Patrick. You have to face real gods, they are not mortals, and they will not play the dirty intrigue game with you. If you are really lucky enough to meet any goddess, any of your inappropriate speeches will lead to the destruction of the principality! I am not kidding you, please remember."

"I will remember. But... after listening to your speech, you haven't seen those goddesses yet?" Patrick asked curiously, holding a teacup.

"Unfortunately, I missed too many opportunities. Even my maid had dinner with three goddesses..." Chris said regretfully.

"Maid? That Perrin's?"

"Yes."

"Haha, it looks like you're in a bad luck." Patrick put down the teacup and then picked up a piece of snack and said, "Where is she? Can I see her first?"

"Don't even think about it!" Chris answered very decisively, and his expression became very disgusted.

"It seems you are still holding a grudge against that thing. That time was just a joke. I admit that the joke was a bit too much, but you should know that I have not really touched any lady yet... It's just a social rhetoric." Patrick said while chewing on the snacks: "Forget it, let's change the topic. I want to visit the lady of the God-Selected Man with powerful weapons, and sincerely, in the name of the Principality."

"What happened?" Chris asked with a brow raised.
