The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Fortunately, this feeling didn't disappear until I met Greta.

"Gresh, are you alright?"

Kiana reached out and touched the little girl, then asked, "Why are you here? Who brought you here?"

"It's... Kosmo."

Greta blinked and began staring at Kiana intently.

Seeing her so reserved, Kiana asked with some surprise, "What's wrong? Is there something on me?"

"The paint... is gone again..."

Greta pointed to the easel in the living room and answered timidly.

Chapter Twenty-Two: It all started with Mebius's little joke

So it was paint?

Kiana shook her head, feeling both amused and exasperated by the little girl's focused drawing.

Despite being kidnapped and brought to such a place, he was still worried about not having enough materials to paint.

She must be one of those talented and hardworking genius painters, right?

Kiana thought to herself, then took out a lot of paint from her inventory: "Here, Gretchen. Take this and paint slowly."

"Ok!"

Gretchen didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the paint and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, traveler sister." Then she turned around and continued painting.

Watching her walk away barefoot, Kiana stroked her chin and pondered silently.

"So this is what they mean by 'the barefoot aren't afraid of those wearing shoes'? But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, she is the master of this world."

Since it's your own dream, there's really no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Now, I need to think about how to leave.

but...

Kiana looked around the hall where everyone was standing.

The place is elegantly decorated and luxuriously laid out.

If it weren't for the two heroes outside who were causing a massive collapse and creating chaos,

Logically speaking, the environment here should be quite elegant and noble.

Is this place, which is so perfect for a vacation, really the residence of the so-called Great Demon King?

"You certainly know how to enjoy life?"

Kiana muttered to herself, then waved to the pink fairy who was harassing Mei.

"Alicia!"

"Hmm? Did you miss me?"

Upon hearing Kiana call her name, the cute pink-haired girl immediately came over.

He stood with his hands behind his back, beaming with enthusiasm, and looked at Kiana with a smile.

She remained playful, as if completely unaware that her prophecy was about to come true.

So sometimes, it's really hard to guess what she's thinking...

Kiana shook her head, then asked, "I think you should take us to see that so-called Great Demon King, shouldn't you?"

"Great Demon King? I don't know anything about Great Demon King. Is that a nickname you gave someone?"

Just as Kiana was questioning Alicia, a white-haired man, dressed in a casual beach shirt and shorts, and wearing sandals, walked down the stairs step by step.

He had bright blue eyes and an extremely cold demeanor, so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.

"Kevin!"

Kiana exclaimed the man's name in surprise.

He is the leader of the Heroes of Fire Chaser, the leader of the heroes, a fusion warrior who has fused with an ice-attribute Honkai Beast, and the wielder of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

The appearance of such a person is obviously not going to be easy.

Kiana looked around, wondering what might happen next.

However, contrary to expectations, the anticipated storm and thunder did not occur.

It seems that Kevin has simply appeared at this moment, just like any other ordinary tourist.

The number of customers is about the same.

Kiana was slightly taken aback by this situation.

"Kevin, you're here?"

Upon seeing Kevin, Alicia immediately clasped her hands together and went up to greet him.

“Alice,” Kevin replied indifferently, “you’re back? And you’ve brought guests.”

"My name is Kiana, and I am a traveler in this world. This place is part of my journey."

Kiana said calmly.

"A trip? If you can eat popsicles while traveling, please take me with you."

"..."

Kiana frowned, turned her head to look at Alicia, and found that the girl was smiling very naturally at this moment.

It was as if the incident of someone talking nonsense had never happened.

"What? Did my joke make you laugh?"

Kevin, without batting an eye, said it in a serious tone.

Seeing how naturally he spoke, Kiana didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"That's a really lame joke that's not funny at all."

Just then, Mei slowly walked over.

"A Herrscher? I didn't expect to see you here, hmm..."

"Are you kidding me? Kevin, did you get slapped on the head by a thousand calamities?"

Mei frowned and retorted without holding back.

"Ha! Herrscher, are you talking about me behind my back?!"

Outside the villa, Qianjie roared in exasperation.

The scene was very harmonious for a time.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Kos magic in front of him will calm down for a while.

"So Kevin, you have no intention of fighting us?"

Mei covered her forehead, shook her head, and then asked, "After all, if you wanted to, you definitely wouldn't be able to talk to us so easily right now."

"really."

Kevin nodded, then said, "I never intended to fight you; I just told Möbius to keep a close eye on you."

"Huh? Mebius!"

Kiana and Mei both exclaimed in surprise.

"what happened?"

The person who started all this showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he looked at everyone with a faint smile.

It was as if her malicious joke wasn't a joke at all.

Kiana and Mei exchanged a glance, then Mei shook her head: "Suddenly I think Kevin's lame jokes aren't so bad after all."

"Me too."

The two sighed inwardly.

When Eden learned the truth, his first thought was not anger.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Aponia beside him: "Aponia, you?"

"No need to be nervous, Eden, we just need to keep an eye on them."

Aponia sat quietly on the sofa, her hands clasped together.

She seemed like a goddess who had descended to earth, as if everything in this world was irrelevant to her.

Seeing this, Eden could only smile and then picked up his wine glass to moisten his throat.

After all, if Aponia says that all you have to do is watch, then you probably really do just watch.

"Mébius, is your reason for acting on your own related to leaving this world?"

Mei asked in a stern tone.

"Ha, I have an obligation to tell you my plans."

Mebius stretched and yawned, completely ignoring everyone else.

Seeing this, Mei let out a long sigh and turned her gaze to Kevin: "So Kevin, what are you doing right now?"

"Herrscher, you'll have to discover that for yourself."

Kevin crossed his arms and said coldly, "This world isn't as simple as you think. If you want to uncover the truth and leave this place, you'll likely need to put in a lot more effort. And I won't offer any help. Of course, if you want to hear a joke, I can always..."

"no."

Mei waved, turned around, and pulled Kiana away from there.

She was really fed up with these riddle-solving people. Anyway, all she had to do next was figure out what was going on in this place, right?

That's simple, just find Kosmo.

After all, there was no one else who was closest to Gretsch besides him.

It is highly likely that he was instructed by Kevin to bring Greta here.
