Chapter 1206 - 670: Baris’s Curtain Call and Return_2

Chapter 1206: Chapter 670: Baris’s Curtain Call and Return_2

She never points fingers at things she’s not good at.

While Anna was complaining about Alice in her heart, Alice had already teleported beside Baris.

For Alice now, the entire Dawn Continent is her playground.

Teleportation is something she can easily manage.

"What are you looking at, Baris?"

When Alice arrived, Baris was standing with her hands behind her back, looking at something.

Curious, she leaned over and saw the statue of Lady of Daylight burning fiercely in the flames.

"Eh, you have such a wicked taste, watching yourself burn," Alice couldn’t help but quip.

Baris glanced at Alice and smiled gently, "I’m just trying to feel what Vivian felt back then."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Alice asked in confusion.

Baris began to speak, "When Vivian’s Candlelight Illusion was pushed onto the stake by those priests back in the day, Vivian also stood there watching."

"She watched as the people she once tried to save shouted fanatically under the stake that burned her."

Baris spoke slowly, her tone seemingly calm, yet Alice could clearly feel the emotional turmoil within.

"Vivian must have been very disappointed then."

"There was definitely disappointment," Baris looked deeply at the collapsing statue, "but maybe there was also a bit of a relieved resignation."

"Relieved resignation?"

"Yeah, realizing these people weren’t worth saving in the first place, and then letting go of all the fantasies inside her, that’s the relief," Baris said.

Alice recalled Vivian’s behavior in the real world.

"But Vivian still can’t let go of the Dawn Continent..."

"That’s because Vivian is a good person," Baris sighed, "Normal people treated like that would turn dark. She didn’t turn dark, simply because she’s a good person."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore," Baris turned and took Alice’s hand, "Let’s go. Watching oneself get burned is indeed quite a peculiar feeling."

Alice nodded.

With a spin of the magic staff, a teleportation gate appeared behind Alice.

In a flash of light, the two arrived at the island Alice had anchored to.

As soon as Baris saw the sea, a flash of excitement burst in her eyes.

However, the thought of seeing Shen Sui temporarily overshadowed the urge to play by the sea.

Under Alice’s guidance, they quickly arrived at the villa.

By then, it had undergone a complete transformation.

After days of construction, the shipgirls had perfectly recreated the Guardian Mansion here.

Though having a Guardian Mansion but no Deep Sea made the shipgirls feel a bit unaccustomed.

Even during the port’s lull period, shipgirls would occasionally go on expeditions.

It’s also good to gather some resources on distant missions.

In the extreme boredom, destroyers were already planning to sail to docks in other countries to get some fries.

When Alice pushed the door open, Qishala was inside massaging her temples in distress.

In front of her stood five or six dragon maids.

Mitole was kneeling on the ground pitifully, clearly having caused trouble again.

Upon hearing the door open, Qishala looked up, and the gloominess she felt vanished instantly, "Baris, you’re here."

Soon, all the women in the house came running out.

Vivian stood smiling at a distance, watching Baris surrounded by the crowd.

"I’m back, Vivian," Baris looked at Vivian and said with a smile.

Vivian gazed at Baris, spreading her arms wide and embracing the friend she had always cherished.

"Thank you, you’ve worked hard."

Ever since learning about what Baris had done after she left, Vivian had always longed for this day.

No matter what, Baris was the most reliable friend.

"Where’s Claude?" Baris couldn’t help but ask after releasing Vivian.

Vivian couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

One second she was your best friend, and the next, you’re thinking of prying her man, huh?

Of course, that was just a joke in Vivian’s heart.

She didn’t even dare say this joke out loud.

Knowing Baris’s character, she’d take it to heart for sure.

Might even never go near Shen Sui again for life.

"He’s in the basement researching something."

"What’s Claude researching?" Alice curiously inquired.

Vivian laughed, "He said having so much divinity just sitting there unused was too wasteful, so he’s thinking of building a tall tower."

"A tall tower? To do what?"

"For holding resurrection duels," Vivian said helplessly.

Resurrection duels?

Alice blinked, seemingly intrigued by the idea.

Vivian wasn’t exaggerating.

Shen Sui really was researching something like that.

He had previously thought about having souls duel.

Winning resurrection duels to be publicly resurrected and whatnot.

However, creating such an afterlife world out of thin air was a very difficult task, so this idea was deeply buried in his heart.

But now, with prior experience reconfiguring a buffer zone and having all the divinity from Dawn Continent as infinite energy, he had the capacity and capability to do it.

His idea was simple, send those souls with a soul of duels who died regrettably to this afterlife duel world.

Then they could happily duel there, and the final winner could be resurrected.

However, those with a soul of duels weren’t just from here.

There’s also Shen Sui’s past life world.

And some other peculiar worlds.

Almost any world with card duel games has similar players.

Even when entrusting others to find a daughter, they have the interest for a duel.

Looking at you, Gwent players.

If it’s just dueling at a meeting, it’d be too boring...

Shen Sui looked at the world model in front of him, pondering with his hand on his chin.

At that moment, he sensed the aura behind him.

Through the dueling device, he had already known of Baris’s return.

Now that this familiar aura appeared, who else could it be?

"Welcome back, Baris."

Baris stood at the doorway, her eyes filled with various emotions.

She looked at Shen Sui, pursing her lips.

She wasn’t one to easily reveal her emotions.

But now, no matter what, she couldn’t suppress her inner feelings.

Shen Sui, seeing Baris’s dazed expression, opened his arms with a smile and asked, "No hug?"

This sentence completely broke through Baris’s last line of defense.

She rushed into Shen Sui’s embrace.

"Long time no see."

The once proud Knight of Daylight trembled slightly in Shen Sui’s arms.

Raising his hand, Shen Sui patted Baris’s shoulder.

As the emotions of reunion settled, an ambiguous atmosphere gradually rose in the room.

Baris pursed her red lips, burying her head in Shen Sui’s chest.

Clearly shy, but seemingly unwilling to leave.

Shen Sui coughed awkwardly, "How about we move to the bedroom?"

"They’ll definitely laugh if they pass by..."

Right...

Shen Sui sensed some haste.

But he didn’t plan to let this opportunity slip by.

No helping it.

I’m lustful!

Baris was probably overwhelmed by the emotions of reunion.

Otherwise, with her usual personality, she would never have done something this bold.

If he missed this chance, Shen Sui didn’t know when he’d be able to move Baris again.

Thinking this way, Shen Sui couldn’t help but glance over Baris.

A beauty not inferior to Freymia in appearance.

Probably due to her long-standing divine position, Baris now exuded an additional noble aura compared to her in-game artwork.

This aroused Shen Sui’s interest even more.

"Why are you still wearing the Lady of Daylight’s outfit?"

Shen Sui suddenly noticed a highlight.

Baris instinctively replied, "Isn’t it better this way?"

Then she realized her slip, her cheeks turning bright red.

"Oh..." Shen Sui playfully tilted his head.

Baris buried her head even lower.

"But for the first time, I still hope it’s with my Baris."

"Let’s change clothes in the second round?"

Shen Sui rubbed his hands together.

Baris suddenly felt a hint of regret.

But Shen Sui had no intention of letting her escape.
