"Come on, cheers!!"
"What kind of cup are you drinking? Just blow on the bottle!!"
"No! You can't drink while driving!!"
"Me too, I just caught a cold and took cephalosporins..."
"A little bit, just a little bit..."
After [Inferno Rider], Blazewood and Cheesetopia Restaurant were shouting loudly, and several Motor League gang motorcycles formed a thorn of steel outside the door.
Those who come are all first and second leaders of gangs, or diplomats.
Firstly, they congratulate [Sons of Calydon] for becoming a new management force, and secondly, they discuss the future development of Outer Ring and reorganize the power structure to avoid the recurrence of Lucius.
Although Pompey's last statement was a bit of a backroom operation, no one had any objections. After all, [Sons of Calydon]'s reputation is obvious to all.
Of course, this is Outer Ring Motorcycle Alliance's own business.
"Sorry, Zhe, Ling. I'll call you as soon as Perlman wakes up!"
Caesar looked at the three people who were about to return to New Eridu and scratched his head in embarrassment.
This is a transaction between both parties Pact.
As a result, [Phaethon] and Griseo not only helped complete [Inferno Rider], but also saved the entire Outer Ring Old Oilfield District.
When it was one's turn to perform Pact, Perlman was still unconscious.
"It's okay, Caesar."
The co-pilot's bell waved her hand to signal her not to blame herself.
Although she was indeed anxious, she could understand it.
Perlman experienced the disaster of 'tug of war with the ground', and it's normal that he hasn't woken up yet.
"Well, that's right! Griseo, this is for you."
Caesar smiled and took out three pendants and handed them to Griseo.
It's a woven product [Sun Mirror], but it looks a little different, with the badge of [Sons of Calydon] in the middle.
"Sister Caesar, is this [Sun Mirror]?"
"Yes, everyone made it up by hand, to thank you."
Caesar explained with a smile.
This is not only to thank Griseo for taking action in [Inferno Rider], but also to thank her for the five million Denny order.
That order prevented Sister Casa from making a big mistake.
It turns out that after [Inferno Rider] ended, Casa confessed to Caesar.
She almost became a traitor. Lucius used food and medicine to force her to leak [Sons of Calydon] information.
"Sister Casa said that with this token, all your future purchases at Blazewood will be free of charge."
"So good!!" Ling's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Caesar, how can we just eat and drink here and there?"
"Of course! As long as Proxy comes, all purchases will be free of charge." Caesar patted his chest and said boldly.
"Is the electricity bill included?" Zhe from the driver's seat asked out of nowhere.
"Of course!"
"Then it's settled, Caesar, Perlman has news over there, please contact us at any time."
"Definitely!"
Caesar took a step back and waved to them.
Burnice emerged from behind, holding a flamethrower and spraying a bunch of flames into the sky. "Have a nice trip. Next time you come, I'll make you a better fuel drink!"
"Don't--!" Lucy snatched Burnice's musket, "Are you seeing him off or at a funeral?!"
Piper leaned on the motorcycle, lazily raised his hand and waved it.
Lighter remained silent, just nodding slightly, while as the new member Pulchra stood at the back of the crowd, and was hugged by Burnice.
"Bo Meow comes and waves too!"
"... I don't..."
"Wait, wave, wave!"
Griseo looked at the scene outside the window, lowered his head and added a stroke on the drawing board.
What a strange group of people. They have obviously experienced life and death, but they are as childish as innocent children. The sky with the cars in the distance was dyed the color of burning fuel by the sunset.
Zhe was driving the car on the Outer Ring road, with endless deserts on both sides as far as the eye could see.
[Master, you have deviated. We are planning a new route for you. Turn around one hundred meters ahead.]
Ling watched Zhe turn the steering wheel and enter another fork in the road, and asked softly, "Brother, are you going there?"
"Well, it seems like I haven't been there for a long time."
Zhe looked at Fairy's reminder, paused, and said, "For us, [going home] is actually a luxury."
The brother and sister were immersed in their own sentiments, and no one noticed the reaction of Griseo in the back seat - her eyes looking in that direction were also filled with slight waves.
The car finally stopped in front of a long barbed wire fence.
On the other side of the net is a huge canyon, winding and crawling, extending all the way to the direction of the Old Capital ruins.
This is the product of the fall of Great Rift, Old Capital, just like the scars born from that disaster.
In order to contain the out-of-control Limbo Hollow, the leadership of New Eridu decided to cut off its tail to survive and detonated fourteen Shiyu Towerss in one go.
A huge explosion tore the earth apart, and Great Rift was born. Hollow Zero in the distance, with a faint purple light emitting from the border.
Zhe clasped the barbed wire fence with both hands, and his fingertips gently brushed the flowers, photos, and sticky notes tied to it. These are the thoughts left by the surviving people after the fall of Old Capital.
The disaster has never passed, and mankind has never been treated kindly.
Zhe and Ling looked into the distance, their eyes full of nostalgia, and those little moments in [Helios Institution] came to mind again at this moment.
"Sister Ling, brother Zhe, where is your real home?"
In the car, Griseo was holding Eous and asked suddenly.
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Then I remembered that this time they brought Griseo with them to commemorate their teacher.
And in front of this little girl's ability, no secrets can be hidden.
However, Griseo did not use [Discipline] to ask anything, and just waited quietly for the answer.
Ling took a deep breath, looked at the purple halo in the distance, and spoke slowly.
"Griseo, do you know?
Our teacher is actually Carole Arna, the culprit who caused the fall of Hollow Zero and Old Capital. My brother and I... are Sinner's Child."
She deliberately used official wording and stared at Griseo.
She wanted to see if Griseo would show that kind of...
"Sister Ling, have you forgotten? Lying is not good." Griseo shook his head and spoke calmly.
Ling: "..."
She looked at Zhe and smiled helplessly.
In my preoccupation with testing, I forgot how talented this little guy is.
Yes!
How could she and her brother suspect the teacher?
Education, upbringing, HDD system, Eous... these are the gifts Carole left to the two of them.
The only motivation for the brother and sister to become [Phaethon] is to find out the truth.
"Yes, how could our teacher be a sinner?" Zhe and Ling said in unison.
"Then when I set foot on the road home, I will help Brother Zhe and Sister Ling [go home] together."
Griseo picked up Eous, suddenly opened the car door and walked out.
She walked to the barbed wire fence, looked up at the purple halo in the distance, raised her little hand, and pointed at Hollow Zero.
"Brother Zhe, Sister Ling... Actually, you don't know that I came from there too..."
The wind from the Rift Valley howled through the barbed wire fence, picked up the dust from the ruins of Old Capital, and scattered the words between the three people into the vast dusk.
Those sounds drifted far away, into the depths of Hollow Zero, and never came back.
Just like no fourth person knows, no reader knows what Griseo said at this moment...
