"Hmm, sorry, I lost my composure just now."
At this time, Istina's face was flushed red, and her eyes were evasive when she looked at Elizabeth in front of her. It was obviously due to the influence of the word "Mom" she said when she lost control of her emotions just now.
Elizabeth said with a smile as she looked at her like this.
"Okay, little Tina, you can call me mom if you want. After all, you'll have to call me that when you and little Eve are together."
"Um... well, then, mom, mom."
"Oh~ Mom is here~"
Elizabeth said as she hugged Istina again.
And after a brief stiffness, Istina's body relaxed and she began to enjoy Elizabeth's embrace.
Eve, Ilvia, and Arcana, like the maids, stood aside tacitly, acting as a background, watching the two people hugging each other in the field.
To be honest, it was a little weird to see his wife and his mother hugging each other like this, but after a few minutes, the shy Istina let go of her hands.
"Um, Mom, let's get on with the coming-of-age ceremony."
"Good~"
At this time, Eve came back.
"Congratulations, Tina."
"Ok!"
Just like that, after a small accident, the coming-of-age ceremony was back on track.
bang, bang, bang
As the ribbon salute sounded again, Elizabeth also announced Istina's official adulthood in the name of the God of Creation.
"Finally, in the name of the Creator God, may you be able to be with your loved one in the future!"
As she finished speaking, the maids applauded, and then everyone began to share the cake, and Istina moved closer to Eve.
"Master Brave?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"What's this creator god Mom just mentioned? Is there such a god?"
At the coming-of-age ceremony held by the human race, people use the name of the God of Light believed in by the Holy Kingdom to bless the children who are about to reach adulthood, but this is not the case with the vampires.
"Yes, just like her divine name, she is said to be a god who created the world. The lack of relevant records among humans is probably due to the Holy Nation's efforts to control faith. However, it is also possible that the records of this aspect were lost during the human race's migration. After all, the human race's heritage has been lost in a significant way."
"So there are such gods..."
After listening to Eve's explanation, Istina nodded slightly.
"From the stories about her, it seems she was a very gentle deity. The last records of her were that she left behind many wonderlands as gifts for children. It was because of these wonderlands that people finally survived the Dark Age."
"My lord, what is Wonderland?"
"Ah, I almost forgot. Since so much of the Wonderland was destroyed after the Dark Age, most of them have been renamed. The Golden Valley on the human side is one of those Wonderlands."
If Istina didn't understand what Wonderland was before, then she was very familiar with the name of Golden Valley.
It can be said that it is a well-known place in the Kingdom of Wealth. It is rich in gold with miraculous effects and is jointly controlled by the five most powerful families in the Kingdom of Wealth. It is precisely because of the existence of the Golden Valley that the status of these five families is so solid.
The Golden Valley has played an indispensable role in the country of wealth being able to control almost all the chambers of commerce in various countries.
You can think of the gold material produced there as a necessity for the manufacture of high-end enchanted items, and it is irreplaceable. The Kingdom of Wealth has an absolute monopoly on this material, so if you want to get it, you have to be obedient.
It was not until the Alessa Chamber of Commerce, which appeared out of nowhere, also produced a material they called Life Spirit Crystal that they were able to break some of the monopoly.
However, since the production of the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce is extremely limited, only some areas that are eager to break free from the control of the Kingdom of Wealth choose to cooperate with them. In other places, the materials of the Kingdom of Wealth still account for the majority.
"Hey, wait, so that means the Life Crystal also comes from Wonderland?"
At this moment, Istina suddenly figured out the key and asked quickly.
"Ah, that, that should be the material produced from the Creation Courtyard on the elves' side. The Wonderland on the blood clan's side produces other things."
"Is this the only wonderland in the human race?"
"I don't know about that. Each wonderland has different characteristics, and many of them won't produce any materials."
"Is this so..."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's go say hello to everyone else. You're the star of the show today."
Eve clapped her hands and ended the topic.
"Ah."
In this way, Eve introduced Istina beside her to the maids in the inner castle one by one, and it was the first time that Istina knew that there were so many people in the inner castle.
She could not see a single person when she walked around in the inner castle, which made her think that only Elizabeth and Eve lived in the huge inner castle.
But when she asked about this, the maids just smiled mysteriously.
"This is the maid's secret~"
So Istina's coming-of-age ceremony went by in such a lively manner, and she unexpectedly had a mother, and experienced the feeling of family love.
And the last thing Eve did before leaving for her family came to an end, and the time to bid farewell to the past was about to come.
§ 115 Set off, target family!
Before the coming-of-age ceremony, Eve's original plan was to set out as soon as possible to deal with the family. After all, for her and Istina, this was a way to announce that they had completely bid farewell to the past.
But since her mother also became Istina's mother at the coming-of-age ceremony, she stayed a few more days so that Istina could enjoy the hard-earned maternal love.
Eve herself has not been idle these days. She first learned a special magic that might be needed to destroy a family to avoid hurting innocent people. She also distributed Dier's individuals to the members of the inspection team, and then she got a set of fake identity documents for her and Istina.
The fake identity she used last time was not suitable for this operation, not to mention Istina. It would be a lot of fun if a missing person suddenly appeared.
There might not be any problems in other places, but in Losde City, the home of the Grans family, 99% of the people in the city are probably related to the family. They must have heard of or seen Istina directly, and naturally they also know about her disappearance not long ago.
Just like that, after everything was ready, a week had passed since the coming-of-age ceremony, and Eve also found Istina that night.
"Tina, I'm going to the family home tomorrow. How about coming with me?"
"Yeah, of course."
Istina would naturally not miss the opportunity to personally deal with the culprit who almost caused her and Eve to part forever.
"Okay, then we'll set off tomorrow morning and try to get there and back as quickly as possible. The things we need to prepare... don't seem to be much, so let's go straight away. But Tina, don't forget to disguise yourself so that no one recognizes you."
"Well, don't worry, brave man, I know."
So, in the courtyard the next morning.
"Are you ready to make peace with the past?"
Elizabeth asked with a smile as she looked at the four people in front of her.
"Of course, I've been waiting for a long time."
Facing her question, Eve answered enthusiastically:
"Okay, then remember to go and come back quickly. 'Teleport to the Outskirts of Lost City'."
In the dazzling light, Eve and her group disappeared in the courtyard. In the distant city of Lost, the two were about to say goodbye to the past.
—·—·—·—·—·—·—
Suburbs of Lost City
"call……"
Standing on a small hill on the outskirts of Lost City, Eve looked down at the city not far away and took a deep breath.
This city can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar to her. Although she has lived here for a long time, she has never understood it.
By the way, Eve's blood pressure shot up instantly when she looked in the direction of her former residence. The flow of people was outrageous!
It's just an ordinary place, nothing here! What's so good about it?
Forcing herself to lower her soaring blood pressure, Eve looked at Istina behind her and handed her the fake identity she had prepared earlier.
"Okay, let's go back and take a look. To prevent being exposed, I will call you Fia from now on."
"Ah."
As she spoke, Eve transformed from a little girl with white hair and red eyes into a mature black-haired lady.
The clothes he wore became a set of dress that was neither too big nor too small, which was slightly above the level of ordinary people, but not enough to be considered as a rich kid. This identity could save him from many troubles while avoiding attracting the attention of his family.
As for Istina, Eve also disguised her to have black hair and black eyes, and made some adjustments to her face to avoid being recognized.
As for Ilvia and Arcana, this time we can only let them go back to the seal for a while, and let them leave the seal after entering the city.
After all, unlike a small border town like Shurik City, Losde City, as the core of the Grans family, pays much more attention to foreign extraordinary people.
When Eve and Istina entered the city, everything went smoothly except that the guards secretly collected an extra bribe. The two returned to the city of Lost, which they had been away from for a long time.
“It feels like nothing has changed.”
After entering the city, Eve looked around and tried hard to recall the city of Lost in her memory, but after comparing it, she found that it seemed that there was no difference between here today and it was back then.
Apart from the fact that the pedestrians on the street are no longer the same people, even the faces of the street stall owners have not changed much.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite normal. After all, she has only been away for less than three years, which is far from too long.
"Yeah, it's still the same as before."
Istina, who was standing by, also sighed, with an indescribable emotion in her voice.
She had imagined many scenarios of returning here again, but what she didn't expect was that when she really came back, her brave master would be by her side.
"Okay, let's find a place to stay first. There are some things we need to investigate first."
"Hey, why not just hit it?"
Well, it seems that although Istina is low-key, she seems to be more eager to overthrow the family than Eve.
"Well, I have some things to arrange here first. Although the family is a bit rotten, it can still be used for good. Moreover, the family is involved with the demon god, which also needs to be investigated."
Eve was also slightly choked by Istina's enthusiasm and quickly explained.
"If Eve says so, then fine."
After listening to Eve's explanation, Istina felt a little regretful but still accepted it obediently.
As for what Eve said, it was actually that the Ailesa Chamber of Commerce hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to take over the Grans family's business, so as to directly penetrate into the territory of the Kingdom of Wealth and further erode the control of the Kingdom of Wealth.
This was what Elizabeth told her when she was preparing her fake identity. The secret guards in Lost City would contact her with the specific details.
And our Eve, who does not bear grudges, agreed based on the principle that killing someone is a small matter but destroying their heart is a big matter. After all, what could be more appropriate than not only killing you but also taking over everything you have as revenge?
Hiss, wait, if the person opposite was a beautiful girl, there would probably be other plans, such as a fire stick or something, but the patriarch of the family here is an old man, so I can only kill him directly.
But it seems like it could be made a little more humorous? Like, maybe I'm going to kill you just because I don't like you or something?
But let's think about these things later. Right now, they still have to find a place to stay, otherwise the two people in the mark will probably go crazy.
"Then D... ahem, Fia, I'll leave it to you to choose where to stay."
Eve almost called Tina subconsciously, but she quickly coughed to cover it up.
Although she had lived in this city for a long time, she had rarely left the Grans family, so she had to ask Istina to find a hotel.
"Well, just leave it to me."

§ 116 Memorial Hall (Social Death Zone)
Finally, under the guidance of Istina, the two of them stayed in an above-average hotel in the city. Of course, the hotel was owned by the Grans family. After all, this was the core area of their entire business network, and almost everything in the city was closely related to the family.
