Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 724 Hyperion returns for a limited time

 The next day.

 In this era of war-torn southern continent.

From the Knox Mountains to the Obsidian Island of Palton, from the Bryndusk Snow Canyon to the Isanti Fall Bay, the homes and strategic points of the Eastern Kingdom were devastated, towns were razed to the ground, and farmland harvests and city-state property were destroyed. After all the looting, innocent civilians were massacred, the enemy was cruel and ruthless, and the soldiers were still fighting against them with their bodies covered in iron and blood.

Although the entire southern front line in the eastern region of the United Kingdom Alliance is in danger, Ikerita, the hinterland of the Kingdom of Hutton, is still the safest place.

In the early morning, the sky was filled with a touch of light blue gray. In this early-dawn autumn day, the whole city was much more solemn than usual, as if winter would come extra early this year.

　　East District of Icerite, next to a wooden house standing on a street east of Icerite College.

The flowerbed in the courtyard of Mao Boss Restaurant is filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers wafts in the wind.

It’s not the time to open for business today.

 In a wooden room on the second floor, the walls are painted in soft cream, light orange and beige, and the wooden furniture has been polished by Mao Boss to give it a natural texture.

“The south wind brings coolness~”

 “The nightingale sings softly~”

 "The flowers under the moon are all dreaming~"

Hyperion leaned on the carved wooden chair, holding a cup of fine scented tea in her hand, sipping gently, and the fragrance of tea filled her clear red and white lips and teeth.

The antique magic gramophone next to it is playing a soft ditty, and the melodious melody flows in the air. On this morning, it seems to bring people back to the old days of Ikerita, a gentle and moving place.

 “Oh, I can’t get out.”

Hyperion wore a loose silk dress with an elegant beige background and embellished with the embroidery of their ducal family.

Her silver long hair was tied into a manageable bun, with two slender hair draped over her shoulders.

Even if she goes out now, she must take at least two big demons with her to prevent any imperial spies who have sneaked into Icerita from targeting her.

With the company of Antanas and Sinora, even if the enemy tried to use any tricks, it would be impossible to bypass two big demons at the same time, or successfully lure one big demon away so that Hyperion would be left alone.

However, from the current point of view, the sixth-level imperial assassin who comes to Hyperion is basically going to die, and the two eighth-level demons are too reliable to follow.

Even the expedition to the Duke's Palace has come to an end for the time being.

Originally, we were almost able to open the treasure trove under the Alansal family, but considering safety, Pranay still prohibited Antanas and Sinora from accompanying Hyperion.

Hyperion couldn't help but miss the time when she could go wherever she wanted.

Although the feeling of being protected by three big demons is reassuring, it seems to be no different from the time in Nekalis, the Demon King's City, and the Cat Boss Restaurant has also become another small demon king's castle.

During the previous period, Antanas and Sinora liked to go to the Duke's Palace to play together, try on various clothes, and also like to dress her up according to their preferences. Over time, Hyperion also gave up resistance and let them Both happy.

Her current look was dressed up by Antanas.

Thalia is not at home, one of Antanas and Sinora will come to sleep with her and protect her 24 hours a day.

Planai often pays attention to the Wilford family.

Whenever he went to Wilfort's house to secretly reinforce the barrier, he would be stopped by the owner of the house, Noe, and he would be entertained and chatted about the war. He also heard Noe complain about his son, Ranch, who liked to run around during the war and made him worry. After being praised by Noe again, "It's better you, Pranay. You are worthy of being a friend from Tata's hometown, well-informed and reliable." Pranay seemed to have almost become a registered member of the Wilford family.

“Fortunately, the Wilford family moved to the royal capital of Icerite from Nanwantina Territory early. It would be great to just live in Icerite from now on.”

Hyperion picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and started reading.

Although Nanwantina is also very good, to be honest, she prefers Icerita.

However, based on her understanding of Lan Qi, he should be the type who is very willing to marry into his wife, as long as he can retire peacefully at the age of 20. Therefore, even if he considers what will happen in the future, he will most likely choose Ikerita. .

 “Oh, what am I thinking about.”

Hyperion shook her head violently.

 It’s easy to think about things when you’re alone in the house.

Sinola is in the next room. The three of them live on the second floor of Boss Cat, so they can be called neighbors. Early this morning, Antanas helped her comb her hair and then went downstairs. Went in search of breakfast, will be back soon.

Hyperion unexpectedly felt dreamy when she was accompanied by her best friend, at least she had never experienced it since she was a child.

 “Ouch!”

 The cry of the fox attracted Hyperion's attention, and she came back to her senses.

At her feet was a fox with shiny black fur squatting. The fox had bright golden eyes and a light body, and he was looking at her obediently.

Hyperion gently picked up a piece of delicate pastry from the silver plate on the small round coffee table, stretched out her hand and fed it to the fox's mouth.

The fox took it carefully, ate it with gusto, and shook his head happily.

What Hyperion didn't notice was that Antanas had already returned to the door carrying a carton of breakfast.

　　　…”

Antanas looked at Hyperion in the room, listening to a ditty and feeding the fox, leaning on the armchair and reading the newspaper.

 She felt like there was a lump in her throat, as if she had seen an old friend.

 “Xiubao, do you feel that you have become a Tatar?”

 Antanas finally walked into the living room and came to Hyperion's side, complaining.

 After more than two months, Hyperion has lived here alone without Thalia around her, and she has become more and more like Thalia.

The only difference is that Hyperion has a kind of nobility that makes her look like a rich concubine rather than retired.

“Really, can I become like Tata?”

Hyperion thought for a while and asked incomprehensively.

The ideal woman in her mind is like Talia, who is noble, aloof, and has maternal qualities accumulated over time. No matter how carefully you look at her, you will feel that Tata is a perfect woman.

 She felt that there was a big difference between herself and Tata, at least Lan Qi would not confuse the two of them.

 “Forget it, let’s eat first.”

 Antanas shook his head.

 It is understandable that although the war outside is tense, Ranchi's instructions to Hyperion are to ensure absolute safety.

So in the end it became Hyperion to stay in Icerite and do nothing, which became the optimal solution.

Just when she opened the box, Hyperion suddenly seemed to hear something and took out a translucent communication card glowing with purple light.

Someone is contacting Hyperion.

She connected it, and a cold voice came over—

 “Huberlian, it’s me.”

These simple words made Hyperian open her eyes wide.

“Teacher Artis, I miss you so much.”

Hyperion quickly sat upright in the recliner, her voice filled with surprise.

When Tata was away in the Northern Continent, the Ice Witch teacher was her only spiritual comfort. She had always been looking forward to the teacher contacting her.

However, the Snow Witch is now even busier with her official duties and has almost taken over all the work of the great priest Loren in the Kingdom of Hutton, so Hyperion cannot disturb the Ice Witch.

And Huberian didn’t know why, but the teacher seemed to be deliberately avoiding her before, as if he was acting for someone, telling that person that her relationship with Huberian was not that close, so don’t think about using Huber. Leanne comes to threaten her. Hyperion hasn’t had much time to reminisce about the past.

“Where are you now? I’ll come find you.”

 The ice witch’s voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and solemnity.

“Yala Moat East, No. 34 Gordon Street, Cat Boss Restaurant.”

Hyperion replied immediately.

Her heartbeat quickened, feeling that the Ice Witch teacher was coming to find her.

 “Wait for me for a quarter of an hour.”

The Ice Witch replied and hung up the communication magic.

Hyperion looked hesitant for a few seconds after the communication ended, then stood up from the recliner and cheered.

“Huberlian, tell me, do you have a passive skill that allows you to summon a demon mother when no one is taking care of you?”

 Antanas could feel Hyperion's joy through the air, and complained.

“There are times when neither Thalia nor Artemis nor Caliella can take care of me.”

Hyperion glared at Antanas pretending to be sullen. She didn't approve of this passivity of "calling mom".

“Well, if you are in a desperate situation and cannot summon the demon mother, you will pay merit and summon a male mother.”

 Antanas thought about it carefully and added.

　　　…”

Huberlian couldn’t refute.

 It seems indeed…

 “But no matter what, that’s not called a male mother…”

She lowered her head and said coyly.

 “What’s that called?”

Antanas winked and asked with interest.

 “That, that’s called…”

Hyperion poked her fingers, her face started to turn red but she couldn't say anything.

　　Until she said a few words in an inaudible voice that Antanas couldn't hear clearly, she quickly ran away while Antanas was stunned.

 …

 More than ten minutes later.

 A slender figure came to the door of Boss Cat’s restaurant.

She was wearing sunglasses, and her silver eyes under the dark lenses vaguely reflected the sunlight on the glass of the wooden house restaurant. Her long white hair danced in the wind, as softly as snowflakes.

Her hand stopped before she could raise her hand to touch the door.

The store has an overly strong isolation barrier.

 It was as if it were a black box. Before entering, there was no way to detect the situation in the store through any magic.

 There is no doubt that this is the work of Antanas, Sinora and Pranay.

This restaurant is extremely close to Icerite Academy. Even Loren's student Asna is the chef here. If Loren doesn't know that there is a demon fortress hidden under his nose, the Ice Witch doesn't believe it.

In the past, when Loren was still there, the Ice Witch believed that Asna's job as a chef was just an illusion, just to build a bridge with the demons in accordance with Loren's will.

 But now that the news of Loren's death in battle came, the Ice Witch was stunned for a long time.

She spent the whole night investigating, and finally got the result that only Loren really lost to the three war gods.

 She always felt a little empty in her heart, and even realized that she might have been fighting with the air for too long, and had misunderstood Loren, a good person.

Every time, I firmly believe that Loren has planned everything and will definitely come back and win everything in the end. Only this time, the Ice Witch felt her heart sinking when she looked at the investigation report of the Aloran Kingdom.

Even for some reason, she still couldn't let go of the last trace of fantasy, wondering whether this man might have faked his death on purpose, and now he had embarked on a path of evil in the Crean Empire.

But the cruel fact is that I will never see this man again. I am so stupid to always doubt such a kind person.

The Ice Witch wiped away her tears, her eyes became firm again, and she pushed towards the door.

 She also has her mission.

 The smell of oatmeal and cheese still lingers on the first floor of the restaurant.

　　Just now it was obviously a moment for the permanent employees to relax and chat shortly after breakfast.

 They were chatting with Hyperion on the first floor.

 The wind chimes in Boss Cat’s restaurant suddenly rang, breaking the usual tranquility.

A major feature of this wooden house is the large area of ​​the roof that is curved. The eaves are far longer than the walls, and a string of wind chimes hangs under the deep eaves. Whenever the breeze blows or customers come, they will make a pleasant ringing sound.

 They all looked towards the door.

This place is obviously not open for business, and the wind chimes are ringing, which means someone is back.

Of course, for the three great demons, they would have noticed that a guest had arrived at the door even without the sound of wind chimes.

The figure with white hair and light eyes opened the door and stepped into the restaurant.

 In an instant, she stopped.

　　　Seems to feel that something is unusual here.

 On the surface, the interior decoration of the restaurant is simple. The wooden tables, chairs and floors exude a light pine scent. There are some handicrafts and old books placed in the corners.

In fact, she soon discovered that the wooden house building was full of carefully constructed ancient demonic barriers. Even if she stepped into this place and tried to do something in this building, she would probably never come back, only a few Only with the cooperation of the great demons could such a feat be accomplished.

 Obviously, it was the transformation that took a lot of time to be completed by the three great demons in the Helrom Prison brought back by Hyperion from the Northern Continent and Thalia.

 This is no longer the standard that a restaurant should have.

 She said this was a little devil's palace, and she believed it.

 But Loren is dead and all misunderstandings have been resolved.

 “Huberlian, long time no see.”

The Ice Witch looked at the familiar girl's figure that was already looking at her, and the three figures who looked like employees in the restaurant behind her.

No matter how complicated the magical environment here is, she believes it is to protect Hyperion.

 “Teacher Artis! I thought you didn’t want me anymore!”

Hyperion was a little timid at first, until she recognized the gentle look in her eyes, and gradually quickened her pace and excitedly rushed over to hug the Ice Witch Artis.

Even though she didn’t know what Teacher Artis wanted to do when she came to see her today, the moment their master and apprentice reunited, Hyperion was filled with a sense of peace of mind.
