Chapter 971 Plague

After filling their stomachs and returning home, Yaeri and Yaezakura saw their sister in the yard, swinging a wooden sword around, then imitating Yaezakura's slow motion of sheathing the sword, shouting, "Sakura, scatter!"

"..."

A breeze blew by and nothing happened. However, when Yae Rin saw her brother and sister coming back, her face turned red, and she threw the wooden sword into the grass, pretending nothing had happened.

Yaeri and Yaesakura tacitly did not mention it, but just handed the bread they brought back to her, and then the three of them returned to the house together.

After a while, Kallen came in again. She must have received information that Yaezaki had returned to the mansion, so she ran back in a hurry.

"Li, I miss you so much~"

As soon as Kallen entered the room, she found the direction of Yaeri and pounced, but she hugged another soft body.

Looking up at Yae Sakura who was smiling gently, Kallen did not get up, but simply rubbed against her chest, muttering: "Although it is not as fragrant as Li's body, Sakura's fragrance is not bad either."

"..."

Yaezakura pushed her away helplessly, and then took out the remaining bread. Knowing that Kallen would come, Yaezakura bought a lot.

After finishing the bread in no time, Kallen looked for Yaeri again and told her about her achievements during her training in the Valkyrie Corps. She couldn't help feeling happy when she occasionally heard praise from Yaeri.

"Li, you don't know, that time a huge Honkai beast appeared, and I used Judas to beat it into a pancake in just two or three strokes!"

"Hmm~"

"After that, I became the leader of a Valkyrie team. Even though there are only a few of us, it has grown very strong now, and the casualty rate is zero!"

“That’s amazing~”

"Also, I had a sparring match with Ying... Well, let's not talk about that. Ying was too fast, I couldn't catch her... Wait, Ying, when did you come back?"

"..."

They chattered for a long time, and Yaegiri echoed her as if she was treating a child who had not grown up.

After recounting all the experiences, Karin felt playful again, "We haven't been together for such a long time, why don't we play a game together?"

Yaesakura was quiet and helpless. She was already an adult and had been on the battlefield for a long time, but she didn't expect Kallen to still have the temper of a child.

"come on!"

Yaezaki Rin expressed her support, but Yaezaki refused, which attracted Kallen's dissatisfied gaze. As compensation, he called Theophile, who had been staying on the roof, to come down and take his place.

Only a few years had passed, and of course Theophil had not changed much, except that his snow-white hair had grown a little longer.

After sending the children away, Yaeri disappeared and appeared in the house next door.

Francis, who had shaved his stubble and looked inexplicably younger than he had been a few years ago, was sparring with others in the backyard. One of the Valkyries was more familiar to Yaeri, Selena Kaslana. They had met in the army. She had always been by Francis' side during many of his meetings with Yaeri in the past few years.

After a slight nod and a greeting, Yae Li turned her attention to Francis.

"Oh---!"

A shout.

Francis knocked the weapon out of the opponent's Valkyrie's hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the opponent's throat.

"I lost, Master."

The exhausted Valkyrie was convinced.

Francis retracted his weapon, waved to Yae Ri, and the two entered the mansion.

"Instead of accompanying those kids, you come to see an uncle like me. What's wrong with you?" Francis asked with a smile. His face was sparsely wrinkled, forming a sharp contrast with the old Pope who was destined to be the Pope.

"I thought it was Uncle Francis who missed me. Otherwise, why did I see Sister Valkyrie coming to my side just now?"

Just before Yaeri entered her house, she saw a Valkyrie standing outside the door, hesitant to speak. Perhaps she saw that she had just returned, so she thought it would be okay to deliver the message later.

After all, Francis had said in the family that all members of their clan must be extremely cautious regarding matters concerning Yaezaki.

"Well, in that case, I won't beat around the bush."

Francis motioned to Selena, who had been following him, to take out a map with various red circles and crosses marked on it.

"I have found everything I could this month. As for our continent, the time and place of the collapse are all here... As for the rules, I'm sorry, we can't find out with our current capabilities. I only know that if the situation continues to develop like this, in time, all our footholds will be polluted."

"..."

Yaezaki took a look and found that most of the red crosses on the map were in other European countries, but rarely appeared on Tianming's side. Perhaps it was because Yaezaki and others intervened in that large beast tide.

"what is this?"

Yaeri pointed to an inconspicuous spot in the corner of the map, where a red question mark was marked.

"A small plague broke out in a small village. Tianming sent people to investigate and found that everyone inside was infected, so they ordered the village to be sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

Francis took a look and said that although he was better at fighting than investigating, since this kind of thing was reported to him by his subordinates, he would naturally pay some attention to it.

"Plague...what about those investigators? Are there any abnormalities?" Just hearing these words didn't sound strange, but Yae Ri still asked just in case.

"They have all been quarantined and no signs of infection were found."

"That's all, by the way, Uncle Francis, how about the other thing I asked you to do?"

"Of course it's done."

Francis asked Selena to bring a bottle of red wine. It had a dark color and the bottle was carved with intricate patterns, which was slightly different from the red wine of this era.

"It has been brewed according to your idea. It has a rich taste and soft tannins. It is a good thing. I didn't realize you have such a talent in brewing?"

Yae Li smiled modestly, "I just borrowed some knowledge from others... Uncle Francis, since it's successful, I'll ask you to help deliver some to my house. As for the production method, I'll leave it to you."

This way, I will have a gift for Eden next time I visit her. I don’t know if the new wine I created by summarizing various knowledge will suit her taste.

After asking some more questions about the blockade of the port, Yaeri took the map and returned to her mansion, just in time to see a few girls who noticed that she was not there and were looking for her everywhere.

After apologizing, Yaeri played with them for a while, and they only had a proper rest at dinner time.
