Otherworld Advance Team
Chapter 854 - 847: Farewell

Chapter 854: Chapter 847: Farewell

"Don’t say that," said Luo’er, "For some people, immortality is actually a kind of torture. I would still be very happy if you could safely resurrect."

"The technology from Earth shouldn’t be so advanced that it can resurrect the dead, right?" Fulajie’er asked.

"It might not be possible now, but who knows about the future," Luo’er replied.

"That’s good then. Let’s talk about it when you reach that point," Fulajie’er said with a faint smile, then her figure flickered as she circled around Luo’er.

"Ah..." Seeing her happy demeanor, Luo’er didn’t know what to say, so he just sighed softly and shook his head with a bitter smile.

After the promise was made, Princess Melia acted quickly. The next day, two carriages had already stopped in the clearing, accompanied by a cavalry of about fifteen people. Besides that, Xilia was also ready to depart, mounted on her horse waiting for everyone.

Princess Melia, dressed in a proper long dress and draped in a heavy cloak, stood on the muddy clearing, quietly waiting for Luo’er and the others to arrive, completely unaware that the hem of her dress was stained with mud.

In front of Luo’er, Princess Melia always tried to show her most perfect side, just like she said herself, she might be destined not to win Luo’er in this lifetime, but she still tried persistently to compete for him.

Luo’er led the team to the clearing and couldn’t help feeling a pang in his heart when he saw Princess Melia. Hearing Luo’er’s footsteps, Princess Melia turned around, a serene smile on her face.

"Your Highness, there is no need to personally involve yourself in such matters and waste your precious energy," Luo’er said politely in front of everyone, not as easygoing as when they were alone.

"After all, you are also my friends. Isn’t it human nature to send off one’s friends?" Princess Melia said with a smile.

The finely arranged hair on her head was adorned with a feather headdress, adding to her allure, and her face was lightly made up, concealing the freckles on her face.

The weather had been damp and cold these past days, with occasional drizzle, and during their conversation, the visible breath they exhaled was clearly seen.

Princess Melia gazed at Luo’er with deep affection, then slowly shifted her gaze behind him, seeing the hostile look in Tangmo’s eyes. She unconsciously revealed a slightly smug smile, then coughed a few times and said seriously, "I have arranged two carriages for you, one for passengers and one for cargo. This way, your journey northward will be quicker, and you won’t have to travel through the wind and snow."

Luo’er followed the direction she indicated and saw the two carriages prepared by Princess Melia. The horses pulling the carriages were cold-resistant breeds from Masya. However, what surprised Luo’er was that one of the carriages meant for passengers was actually a Rune Carriage.

How precious the Rune Carriage was had already been mentioned before, so there is no need to repeat it here. It’s worth noting that Princess Melia had only one such carriage, and the fact that she was now entrusting it to the Advance Team shocked Luo’er, and he also felt a deeper sense of gratitude.

"Princess Melia, this..." Luo’er said, pointing to the carriage with a troubled face, looking at her.

"Don’t you like it?" Princess Melia asked, tilting her head.

"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just, this is too much. We can’t afford it," Luo’er said with difficulty.

"It’s okay, you can have your headquarters make one for me. That technology shouldn’t be difficult for Earth, right?" Princess Melia said confidently.

"Abusing public resources for private interests, huh..." Luo’er said with a wry smile.

"Just kidding. Be careful and remember to return the carriage to me after you complete your mission," Princess Melia said soberly, stepping closer to Luo’er.

"I feel, given the way our Advance Team carries out missions, there’s a nine out of ten chance that this carriage won’t make it back," Luo’er said, taking a step back and scratching his cheek.

"If it doesn’t come back, then it doesn’t. I’m giving it to you," said Princess Melia, looking at him.

"Forget it, I’ll have headquarters make a new one for you," Luo’er said, looking into her eyes, "Not because I’m afraid of owing you anything, just worried you might be wronged..."

"Then thank you," Hearing Luo’er’s words, Melia instinctively froze for a moment, then showed a smile in reply, her eyes curving into charming crescents.

"Luo’er, we should leave, it’s getting late," Tangmo walked up silently and reminded coldly.

"Oh, alright, you guys go ahead and get in the car, I’ll just say goodbye to the Princess and then leave," Luo’er said, turning back to her.

Hearing Luo’er’s words, Tangmo, although filled with grievances, didn’t dare to vent them due to the public setting and could only walk away fuming silently.

It must be said that in this respect, Tangmo had matured a lot, both older and younger siblings alike, and no longer made scenes regardless of the occasion like before.

"Goodbye, little lemon!" Melia said playfully, waving at Tangmo. She deliberately lowered her voice on the last few words so that only she and Luo’er could hear.

But perhaps because of Tangmo’s sharp ears, after hearing Melia’s voice, she turned back and glared fiercely at Melia, trembling with anger as she walked away.

"Do you have to provoke her?" Luo’er shook his head helplessly.

Of course, he didn’t tell Melia that the one controlling Tangmo now was the same Momo who had wanted to kill her before. He always worried that telling the truth would make the relationship between Melia and Tangmo even worse, although it was already quite bad.

"Feeling sorry for her?" Melia withdrew her gaze, then glanced at Luo’er playfully and asked.

"We’re leaving, take good care of yourself, and if you need any help, just go directly to the station and find Wang Xu. If he gives you trouble, tell me afterward," Luo’er said, seemingly at a loss for words in the face of Melia’s playfulness. After struggling for a while, he decided to change the subject.

"I know!" Melia nodded her head.

As soon as Luo’er turned around, he saw Xilia sitting on a horse, looking down at him from above. Noticing Luo’er’s attention, Xilia quickly averted her gaze.

"About Xilia..." Luo’er turned back to Melia, hesitating as he spoke.

"If you don’t like her, let her come back with the cavalry once we reach the North Lead Corridor," Melia said.

"Alright," Luo’er nodded, then continued, "Be extra careful during this time. Since you’ve lent us your carriage, try not to go out if possible. The Judgement Legion’s influence is causing us trouble everywhere, and I’m worried they’ll involve you too. These guys are not to be trifled with, so be very careful not to fall into their traps. If you feel something’s off, contact headquarters immediately."

"I know, I don’t have much to go out for these days anyway, I’ll be very careful," Melia nodded, clearly appreciating Luo’er’s concern.

"Alright, I must go," Luo’er sighed deeply, then continued, "I don’t know when we’ll see each other again, Princess Melia, I wish you great fortune in war."

"Thank you for your blessing, Captain Luo’er, may the Goddess of Light protect your path ahead," Melia nodded lightly and said in return, also honoring the gesture.

Luo’er noticed that Melia’s reference was to the Goddess of Light, a curious discovery that reminded him of their conversations with the members of the Judgement Legion.

Hillna had once said that only the Church of Light could define the attire, appearance, and even gender of the god of light. According to orthodox Church of Light doctrine, the god of light was essentially genderless, although they appeared to look like a goddess from outside, one should not therefore describe it specifically as a goddess or a god.

However, among the common people, the god of light is generally considered to be a goddess. In the Ancient States to the south, the god of light is directly defined as the Goddess of Light, and although the Northern regions are under the rule of the Church of Light, the vast majority of people, from nobles to commoners alike, unanimously believe that the god of light should be a goddess.
