Team villains except me

Chapter 510 Welcome home

On Friday evening, hail fell in Rose Mansion.

Nolvia heard a knock on the window and looked up. The communicator in her hand was still vibrating.

These days she has been handling the Abersgård work for Julia, and apart from attending classes, she rarely goes out.

Norvia patted her face gently to wake herself up. She had been so busy lately that she couldn't eat. The work Julia gave her was not only numerous but also time-limited. In addition to the work Julia gave her, she also had to attend classes, and as a guard, she also had to patrol. The number of guards was constantly decreasing. Some of the fourth-grade guards had already left school, the third-grade guards were looking for internships, and some members had asked for leave, Joshua being one of them. Joshua was worried about Nedone's situation, so he helped send Nedone's mother to Lanier.

Norvia will be able to see him in France tomorrow.

...Is it tomorrow?

Nolvia was a little dazed.

The sky was dark and the hail outside made a dull sound as it hit the ground.

She has been so busy that she has lost track of time.

There were a lot of theory exams next week. Finals week had been moved up because of the college league. She and Hughes had agreed that they would go to Rainier right after the exams, not wait until the weekend.

Julia's work, classes, revisions, and her own ongoing research piled up throughout the week, eating up her time.

Nolvia looked at the file in her hand and then at the time.

Fiana just came out of the room and went downstairs to go out.

Nolvia looked up at her.

"Fiana, who will pick up Yalinxiu today?"

"Menelot."

Nolvia's eyes widened slightly.

"Is Meniluo coming to Rose Mansion today?"

"Ah."

Fianna agreed and walked over to Norvia. She saw the dark circles under the mermaid's eyes. She knew Norvia had signed an agreement with Abosgar, and they had both been busy lately, but Norvia was working too hard.

"Nolvaya, let's talk."

Nolvia was startled. She put down the file in her hand and spoke softly.

"Fiana, it's only for this week. I won't be so busy after finals."

"That's not what I want to talk to you about. Nolvia, can you tell me what everyone has been doing lately?"

Fiana's tone was calm, a calmness that left Norvia somewhat bewildered. Although everyone had been busy this week, everyone had returned to Rose Mansion and mentioned what they were doing. Fiana must have known this.

Nolvia said hesitantly.

"Irene is contacting those orc nations that are gradually losing trust in the Beast God. She wants to form an alliance, and she is also preparing to depose Brahin.

Elliott went to the southern continent. There are many independent designers in the southern continent. Elliott wanted to create his own brand and own his own industry, so that Shanna could get more job opportunities.

Zhu Qi said she was bored and was studying how far Garcia's "Angel Wings" could develop. Yesterday she received an invitation from Youfu College, where she had previously applied to be a guest lecturer.

Dooku is contacting mercenaries, but not the usual ones. He says he has somewhere he wants to go. He's also contracting projects in Abersgard, and I've approved his application form.

Huet was contacting the sect. As the prince of Remiaz, he was responsible for negotiating with the sect. Huanan said he saw Huet at the headquarters.

Fiana, is there something wrong?"

Fiana shook her head.

She looked at Nolvia, her rosy eyes shining like mica.

"What am I doing?"

Nolvia paused, but she answered.

"You are building ties with the military, and you are also forming a free trade alliance with the lords of the private estates, including Mary Wilder."

"Yes. Norvia, what are you doing? Besides studying and your daily work as a guard, you signed an agreement with Abesgar, you started working for the dean, you're in touch with Abesgar's management, and you've become Julia's spokesperson."

Nolvia nodded, her white hair falling loosely on her shoulders, her eyes serious.

"With Teacher Valerio away, those unwilling followers of the former dean have begun to fight back. Julia doesn't trust Teacher Valerio's teammates, but I signed the agreement, so she trusts me.

Fiana, I'm going to work at Abersg after graduation, right? Getting in touch with some of the academy's affairs in advance is a good training for me."

"Nolvaya, we're doing the same thing. If Irene's alliance is established, she will bind the Orc Kingdoms into a common interest. As the initiator, she will have considerable influence across the entire continent.

Yuto Academy is the only magic academy with real power in the northern continent. Zhu Yi went to Yuto Academy to use their power to gain a foothold in the northern continent, while "Angel Wings" is a force that belongs exclusively to Garcia. Nolvia, when those children grow up, they will be scattered in every corner of this continent.

Dooku wanted to go to the Eastern Continent. The mercenaries he contacted were from the Eastern Continent, so he took the initiative to find Zhuxiang and contact them.

Ellit wanted to do business in the southern continent because there was Aibiel Wende there. Aibiel Wende was not only a special designer, but also one of the rulers of the southern continent. Many people could not see her, but Kaven was there.

Hugh is spying on the sect and selecting undercover agents within it. I'm contacting the army, trying to become the one the lords can't ignore.

And you, Nolvia, are using Julia to contact the rulers of the western continent."

Norvia pursed her lips.

“We’re doing the same thing.”

Fiana nodded. She looked deeply at Norvia.

"So, Nolvia, don't be so tired. Hugh has invited Menilo and Gonia to dinner at home. Relax and rest tonight."

Nolvia slumped on the sofa, her hair disheveled as she complained.

"Why are you still calling parents——"

"Because it's useful. We can't bear it, and you know you can get away with it by just smiling, but with Menelo and Gonia here, you can't escape."

"I'm going to Lanier tomorrow, so I'm going to get some rest today!"

Nolvia clasped her hands together in assurance, causing Fiana to raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Go talk to Gonia and Menelo. I believe you."

Fiana put on a thick cloak and a hat, then turned back to instruct Nolvia.

"I'm out for a meeting and will be back in half an hour. Ochef is preparing dinner, so if you're hungry, check the kitchen. You know when everyone will be back.

I asked Yalinxiu to ask Femeiou and Altair if they wanted to stay at the Rose Mansion today. If they want to come, Menelo will bring them back.

Teachers Musa and Garcia will be here, and I don't know if Teacher Oub will come back with Elliott. Teacher Abel is working overtime. I don't know where Ha Zi is on a business trip, he may not be back until next month.

Norvia nodded.

"Fiana, it's hailing outside."

Fiana saw it, and she walked into Dooku's workshop and found the two-in-one weapon umbrella that Dooku had previously researched that could protect against knives falling from the sky.

Dooku studied these things when he had nothing else to do in the Rose Mansion.

Fiana took a look at the one-to-one replica puppet that Zhue used to skip classes, then turned around and closed the door of the workshop.

Nolvia said goodbye to Fiana.

The frequency with which the hailstones hit the ground began to slow.

Nolvia picked up the communicator and Julia's message came into view.

Julia: Well done. When Valerio said you could be his successor, I didn't believe him. I thought you were his student, so he lowered the bar. But now, I think he's right.

Norvia smiled.

She relaxed on the sofa, pushing aside the review materials and the file she had just read.

Her efforts during this period had the results she expected.

It was tiring, but worth it. She could rest well tonight. It would be even better if the final exams could be moved up to this week, so she could take the last week of the month off to go to Rainier.

Nolvia thought of Ivatt who stayed in Lanier.

A member of "Bright Glory" and Pengtina's teammate.

She was collecting information about the Bright Glory team. She wanted to know why Peng Tina was so special.

She has been thinking about a question.

In the so-called "original book plot" that she knew, she and her teammates were villains, cannon fodder that hindered Pengtina. They all died miserably in the end, while Pengtina cleared the obstacles and became Pope.

But what does Peng Tina becoming the Pope have to do with them? They are not from the same college, and if there is no college league or military academy league, they will never meet.

Of course she would hate Pengtina after knowing the content of the novel. Assuming that this was the content that the evil god let her see, then the evil god hoped that she could hinder Pengtina, or that the evil god hoped that Pengtina would not become Pope?

When the original novel was no longer true, her dislike for Peng Tina also decreased.

As long as her teammates were not harmed, she didn't care what happened to Pengtina. She even felt that the evil god had ill intentions towards Pengtina.

Compared to them, this kind of malice is much more restrained, like a small thorn stuck in a sweater, which will hurt occasionally but not feel normally.

If the plot of the novel she knew was indeed designed by the evil god, then the evil god's attitude towards Pengtina was extremely strange. He harbored malice towards Pengtina, describing her as a vain, cruel, and without any merits as the illegitimate daughter of the God of Light, but he also couldn't hide his admiration for Pengtina, portraying her as the absolute protagonist.

Norvia hadn't figured out the reason for this yet. But at the moment, aside from being admitted to Lulitia as an exception due to her astonishing talent for light magic, there wasn't anything special about Pengtina.

"Bright Glory" is not the strongest team in Rullithia. Pengtina is a prominent figure in Rullithia, but she is not as discussed as the members of the top two teams.

From what Norvia had learned, Pengtina was a kind but somewhat naive light mage who hated loneliness, rarely interacted with others, and could sometimes appear quite spoiled. Little was known about Pengtina, and her reputation was mixed. She didn't have many friends, but she often clung to her teammates, especially the team leader, Holland Edie.

Holland Idi, a light magician who had a deal with her, a saint who was not ranked high in the sect.

He did have more information. The real Holland Edie was not what she had seen. Although she felt that Holland Edie was not as frivolous and brainless as he appeared, she was not willing to explore it at the time.

Holland Edie was working for the Pope, and the only tasks he could be assigned were insignificant. Finding out why she suddenly bought a large number of God-given items should be one of his tasks.

Obviously, he was unsuccessful. The last rumor circulating was that "the chairman of Abersgård had a strange collecting habit."

Holland Idi's image outside is that of a frivolous and dissolute saint, but in Ivatt's opinion, Holland is still a good captain.

The castle gate made a noise.

Nolvia looked up and saw her captain.

"Welcome home, Hugh."

There were ice chips on Hugh's coat, he was wearing a scarf, and there were ice crystals formed by condensation of water vapor on his eyelashes, which turned into crystal clear water droplets when he entered the castle.

Hugh took off his coat and looked at Nolvia with a smile in his eyes.

"Am I the first one back?"

"Yes."

Hugh picked up the files and review materials that Norvia had pushed aside and put them on the table. He knew that Norvia had finished her work, otherwise she would be sitting on the sofa and looking at the things in her hands carefully.

"Nolvaya, I invited Menilo and Gonia to the Rose Mansion for dinner."

"I know. Fianna told me."

Speaking of this, Nolvia looked at Huet with a dangerous look.

Hugh paused, then shifted his gaze and spoke softly about his experiences in the sect.

The hail has stopped.

The members of "Send You Home" returned home one after another. Musa came with Garcia and she asked Garcia for his opinion on house decoration.

Altair and Femeiou followed Yalinxiu over, and Meniluo bought them some snacks.

Gonia brought gifts for everyone. She specifically found Musa and earnestly asked her to contact her if anything happened in Lanier.

Musa nodded. She was learning how to be a good parent.

Lively dinners gradually became a hallmark of Rose Mansion. Elliott laid a tablecloth on the long dining table as he recounted his entrepreneurial journey in the southern continent.

The conversation at the table continued, the wind rumbled restlessly, and the castle grew warmer.

After dinner, the conversation moved to the living room, where Fianna played a few rounds of Monopoly to her heart's content.

I don't know who fell asleep first.

The noise slowly faded into silence.

In a secluded corner, Gonia and Musa were talking about Rainier's upcoming resistance. Menillo had been dissatisfied with Garcia's hairstyle for a long time. As an opera singer, she also designed her own hairstyle and had a good aesthetic sense.

When everything was settled, they walked back to the living room and found all the children asleep.

“They’re exhausted.”

Menelo said softly.

It was late at night. The wind had died down.

Autumn is almost over.
