After listening to what Nebula said, Juta, Ryan, and Ike didn't know what to say for a while, originally they thought that Nebula didn't know the suspiciousness of Shadow Song's identity, but it turned out that Nebula had already discovered that Shadow Song was wrong, and chose to tolerate him.

In this way, Yuta and the others never mentioned the matter of Shadow Song in front of Nebula, and the four of them took a comfortable bath together in the hot spring of the base training ground, and after some trouble, they returned to the dormitory of the flying ship to prepare for sleep.

At this moment, Nebula's portable communicator suddenly rang, and the request to be connected was an unfamiliar number, but Nebula still answered. After all, I don't belong to a celebrity, so there should be no harassing communications such as sales pitches and pranks.

After Nebula connects to the communicator, the person who appears on the screen is Carson of the Montegu Alchemy Society.

Carson stroked his slender beard and chuckled at Nebula, "Ho~~~ It's been a long time, Master Nebula!" ”

"Long time no see! Master Carson! It's good that you call me Nebula directly, and being called a master by a teacher's friend always feels a little weird~~~~ Master Carson, I'm sorry! Since there are so many things going on on my side, I haven't been in touch with you since the Alchemy Competition! Nebula scratched his head embarrassedly and replied to Carson.

Carson waved his hand and responded to Nebula: "It's okay~~~ As an excellent young alchemist, how can you take alchemy to the next level if you don't have enough time to study and practice?" That's right! Nebula, I contacted you this time to invite you. In five days, Magatia will hold an alchemy exchange conference, where outstanding alchemists from all over the world will present their alchemy results or alchemical techniques in public, as well as academic exchanges with many famous alchemists. ”

"I think this kind of grand alchemy exchange meeting is very suitable for a genius alchemist like you to attend. If you can get to know more alchemist friends, maybe they will help you in your alchemist career path in the future. Sometimes, connections are an indispensable bargaining chip," Carson began to persuade Nebula in a deep voice, hoping that Nebula would come to Magatia to participate in the Alchemy Exchange Conference.

Nebula thought for a moment and replied to Carson, "Okay! Anyway, I haven't had anything to do lately, so I'll come to this alchemy exchange meeting. But we're a bit more here this time, and I'd like to ask you to book fifteen rooms for me. ”

"Of course, if it's difficult, we can stay in a flying boat for the time being, and we can take a flying boat that can cross the Ariante desert and park near the entrance to Shakespeare's town." Nebula added to Carson.

Carson shook his head lightly and replied to Nebula, "Nebula, don't worry! This time I painted a tenfold spatial overlapping inscription in my house, and divided the three rooms into thirty rooms with a screen, even if the number of your companions doubled!! ”

Nebula nodded and said to Carson, "Okay! Master Carson, you'll be bothered by the accommodation! We should be able to reach Magatia in three or four days, and we'll get to that later! ”

Carson chatted with Nebula for a few words, then hung up the communicator after a while.

After deciding that he was going to Magatia, Nebula took out the control crystal of the flying ship from the space ring, and used the communication function on the control crystal to control all the horns in the flying ship, explaining to the team members that they were going to Riante next.

Of course, the training grounds, retreat halls, and mage towers in the base are also set up with emergency contact announcements, and at least half of the people who are cultivating McGonagall and the others will hear it.

In the hazy moonlight, Nebula controls the small crystal garden and sets sail from the harbor of Sky City to Ariante

★?????????????????? ★

Three days later, in the morning, Nebula piloted the flying ship and successfully landed in the port of Ariante.

The staff at the port of Ariante were surprised to see the small crystal garden of the Nebula, because Ariante has bad sand and dust weather, as well as abnormal magnetic fields that affect various electronic instruments. Therefore, no matter how much time is rushed, no one will risk their lives to drive a flying boat through a sandstorm area.

After paying the staff at the port for a week to manage the spaceship, Nebula and his teammates stepped off the elevator and into the desert country of Ariante.

Although it was not the first time that Nebula, Sinus, and Ryan had come to Ariante, the last time they came to Ariante, due to the mission of attending Aleda's birthday party, and Sheila's interruption, the three of Nebula couldn't have fun at all.

This time, Nebula is going to invite everyone to take a walk around the streets and alleys of Ariante and experience the customs of Ariante.

Although Ariante's store business model is not as convenient and advanced as that of the big countries, there are still all kinds of items, especially Ariante's handmade exquisite jewelry, which is very popular with girls.

Due to Nebula's preparation of popsicles and red bean shaved ice for relieving the heat, and Nebula's release of weakened versions of the Frost Nova from time to time to cool everyone down, the losing Sinas did not feel any discomfort.

Seeing that Nebula was so considerate of himself, Shinas took the red bean shaved ice from Nebula and said thank you softly to Nebula.

"Whoa! Shadow Song! It's your popsicle! You're welcome, the heat of Ariante is unbearable for those of us who were born in the frozen snowy region! Nebula chuckled at Shadow Song as he handed the popsicle to Shadow Song.

Shadow Song was dazed when she took the popsicle handed over by Nebula. Did you tell this little ghost that he was born in the frozen snowy region?

Seeing Shadow Song's blank expression, Nebula patted Shadow Song on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Don't be so surprised, when you speak to us, it's all standard lingua franca. At first, I thought you were really a Treasure Island singer, ready to go to Castle in the Sky to find so-called creative inspiration. However, when you say the word 'I' and the word 'he', there is a little dialect unique to the frozen and snowy regions, which only I have heard since I was a child living in the frozen and snowy regions. I don't know what your purpose is for joining my party, and I'm not going to ask you about it, because everyone has their own secrets. It's just that there's one thing I want to emphasize to you."

"Never hurt my companion!! This is my bottom line!! Nebula warned Shadow Song in a low voice.

Seeing Shadow Song's surprised and stunned expression, Nebula sighed lightly and said to Shadow Song seriously, "Shadow Song! If you really join my adventure team, even if you provoke a powerful force or a powerful enemy before, I will find a way to settle it for you! I will never treat you as a drag and abandon you!! But ~~ If you take advantage of my trust in you and hurt my companions, I won't let you go even if I chase you to the ends of the earth!! ”

It was only then that Shadow Song realized that Nebula had noticed the anomaly of his identity from the beginning, but he didn't say it out of trust in himself.

However, Nebula, who has always been good at tolerance and broad-minded, actually issued warnings to himself one after another!?

This behavior is very unnatural!

Shadow Song guessed that Nebula had vaguely guessed that his target was Shinas!! And Nebula happens to be one of the guards who knows the identity of the Empress and is responsible for protecting the Empress!

Only by explaining it in this way can we say why Xingyun uncharacteristically warned himself twice in a row.

After listening to Nebula's warning, Shadow Song's hatred for Shinas has diminished a lot, and instead turns to a strong curiosity. Shadow Song really wants to see for herself what kind of person Shinas is!?

What kind of charm does she have, but she can make Nebula, who has always been kind and friendly, say such a serious warning to herself

After a while, Xingyun and the others came to the Camel Hotel. After presenting the VIP card, Nebula rented fifteen first-class rooms at a very low price.

"Hello! Nebula Master! I'm the manager of the Ariante branch of the Camel Lodge, Sorendam! As you may not remember, when you checked into our hotel a year ago, I was the receptionist. After handing over Nebula's fifteen room cards, the hotel manager said to Nebula with some caution.

Nebula frowned slightly, quietly waiting for Sorendan's next words, if he just complimented and praised this lack of nutrition, he would just shake his head and leave.

"Nebula Master! This is a gift from the head of our Camel Chamber of Commerce, Su Lina, I hope you can accept it! Lady Su Lina wishes you the best of luck in this alchemy exchange! Manager Sorendam groped out a space ring from under the counter, respectfully held it and handed it to Nebula, and said to Nebula intentionally.

Nebula glanced at the spatial ring with his spiritual power, and found that it contained some alchemy materials that were precious to a master alchemist. It seems that the yellow-skinned middle-aged aunt with Ariante's dress characteristics wrapped in a yellow cloth strip on her head is still thinking about winning herself over.

However, since someone else has given a rare gift, wouldn't it be a non-giving to the other party if you don't accept it? His alchemy level had already reached the grandmaster level when he was taught by Teacher He Ke a few days ago, and if he wanted to buy an alchemy master!? This little gift from Su Lina is not even a meeting gift~~~
