13、return trip　

　　When they got to the bottom of the cliff, Frandy secured Lilia to himself with the rope tied around their waists, and then tried the rope that hung down when they came, and it seemed that there was no problem. So I struggled to climb up the rope.

　　Back to the griffin's nest again, Frandy put Lilia down, and the two rested here for a while. Although this half-day journey was not long, it was a little thrilling. No matter how strong Frandy was, it was still A nine-year-old child, climbing cliffs and diving deep into the sea, has made his body feel very tired.

　　The depths of the griffin's lair are cool and dry, and the ground is thickly layered with a mixture of dry clog grass and giant feathers. Relying on the huge eggshell, the two of them were half-lying to recover their strength, which was extremely comfortable.

　　Lilia is much better now than when she fainted in the cave and just woke up. Perhaps it was because of this adventure that she let go of some of the burdens in her heart, and she seemed to see hope on her beautiful little face who was always preoccupied in the past.

　　"Frandy, don't tell anyone what happened today when you go back, okay?" Lilia stared at Frandy with her big navy blue eyes, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

　　"Isn't even the great Magister Algernon telling?" Frandy was a little strange. Because Algernon is Lilia's relative. I don't know why even relatives have to hide it.

　　"Yes, don't tell the old man." Lilia said, but after thinking about it, she added: "As long as he doesn't ask. Don't tell him."

　　"Uh... well, don't tell anyone, I promise. Just keep it as a little secret between us."

　　Lilia smiled at Frandy Yingying, her originally slightly frowning eyebrows gradually loosened.

　　Thanks to the usual exercise and the nourishment of the monster meat, Frandy's strong body recovered quickly, and he was full of strength after a long rest.

　　"Lilia, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to return to the castle in the evening." Frandy supported Lilia to stand up. Taking a few steps.

　　"It still won't work, the legs have no strength, and the feet are soft." Lilia was a little worried.

　　"Then I'll carry you on my back."

　　"Well, thank you for your hard work."

　　The little girl wrapped her hands around Frandy's neck and was carried by Frandy on her back.

　　Fortunately, when we came, the places where the fork in the gopher's burrow was marked with fluorescent agent. When we walked back, we didn't have to worry about going the wrong way. Frandy quickly followed the marker and found the entrance to the cave where he came.

　　However, this journey is not easy. When I came, I was always looking for a downward path. When I go back, I have to climb the slope all the time. Thanks to the convenience of the gopher when it digs a hole, I didn't make a straight up and down hole. Otherwise, the road back will be even harder.

　　Finally got out of the burrow, it was already sunset. The glowing red sunset covered half of the sky. The towering trees in the forest are reflected in orange-red. The little midges in the forest became active. Buzzing in groups. I don't know what kind of bird is "quack" in the depths of the forest with a hoarse voice. Something might have been aroused.

　　The forest is Frandy's home ground, and he has been running and playing in the woods since he was a child. When it comes at noon during the day, I also need to take care of Lilia's speed, so I can't go too fast.

　　But when you go back, you can run as much as you like with Lilia on your back. Many tangled vines in the forest, or a small stream that is not shallow jumped past, which greatly accelerated the speed of the return journey.

　　However, with Lilia on his back, Frandy didn't dare to swing between the giant trees holding the vine man as usual. Otherwise, Frandy could use a straight line to "fly" directly through the forest.

　　It only took about an hour for Frandy to leave the forest range with Lilia on his back, and came to the edge of the castle. At this time, he can no longer carry Lilia on his back, because he cannot be seen by other residents in the castle.

　　The sky has gradually darkened, the sun wheel has sneaked into the horizon, and the moon wheel is about to rise in the east.

　　The shining light in the homes of the castle dwellers of Psal Island has been revealed. The direction of the restaurant on the island was wafting from the rising smoke.

　　Lilia got off Frandy's back and slowly tried to walk a few steps. Although she had not returned to her normal state, her legs were still a little weak. But here is not far from the magic tower. Can go back slowly.

　　The clothes on both of them were a little tattered, but Frandy was better, because he usually looked like this when he came back from playing in the forest. Lilia is different. She is the little princess of Psal Island. She is usually a quiet lady, but this is the first time she looks so embarrassed.

　　But compared to this harvest, Lilia no longer cares about her appearance. The little girl seemed to be in a better mood than ever. Through her joyful smile from the heart, it seems that she can feel her joyful and happy mood.

　　"Lilia, are you going back to the Magic Tower?"

　　"Yes, I'm going back to the Magic Tower, there are still many things to do!" Lilia replied happily.

　　"Then let's part here. I'm going to the restaurant for dinner. Oh, by the way, this is yours." With that, Frandy handed the small backpack that had been hanging around his neck to Lilia.

　　"No need, Frandy, just treat these things as gifts from me. Thank you very much for your help today." Lilia hugged Frandy gently.

　　Frandy was a little at a loss when Lilya made him, and shyly said: "Well, that's good. Then I can go to the sea to play. Goodbye Lilia!" After speaking, he ran towards the restaurant.

　　Lilia smiled sweetly, waved her hand, and said, "Goodbye, Frandy."

　　......

　　A few cooks and guys in the kitchen were busy serving dinner, and dozens of islanders dined at long, neat and tidy dining tables and talked at length.

　　A bloated woman had finished her dinner and was about to go home. When she was walking to the door of the restaurant, Frandy ran like a wild horse. Nearly bumped into the bloated woman.

　　The woman was startled, her bloated figure leaned to the side, and with a bang, the door of the restaurant smashed back and forth. Angrily shouted: "Ouch! Which skin monkey ate the magic fruit and almost hit the old lady!"

　　The skin monkey, Frandy, was a little excited today. She ran all the way to the restaurant and almost didn't stop. Fortunately, although the woman was bloated, she was still agile, so she didn't get hit. Otherwise you will be in trouble.

　　Looking up, he couldn't help but secretly complained, it turned out to be Aunt Evelyn. Aunt Evelyn is Uncle Rhyme's wife and takes care of some new-born monsters on the island. Since he has never given birth to children, his temper is rather irritable.

　　Frandy clearly remembers that this Aunt Evelyn is not easy to mess with. Once, little fat Vito messed with Aunt Evelyn for some reason. She was reprimanded for more than half an hour. Finally, Uncle Anger was called in to reprimand him together. From then on, little fat Vito had to take a detour when he saw her. It is estimated that it was miserable by Uncle Ange.

　　"I'm sorry, Aunt Evelyn, I almost bumped into you accidentally." Frandy quickly admitted his mistake, he didn't want to be reprimanded by this aunt for more than half an hour.

　　Aunt Evelyn became less angry when she saw that it turned out to be Frandy. Frandy always gave the residents of the island the image of a good boy who was industrious and studious. So he stopped the volume and said, "Oh, it's little Frandy, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

　　Frandy pointed to the restaurant and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm hungry... Let's eat..."

　　Aunt Evelyn was amused, she patted Frandy's head and said with a smile, "Oh, the little monkey is so hungry that he can run so fast. Let's go eat!"

　　Frandy was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, as if he had been granted amnesty, when Aunt Evelyn stopped him again.

　　"Little Frandy, I heard that Your Excellency the Great Magister is going to take you to Oskaya University in the Imperial Capital some time later?" Aunt Evelyn asked.

　　"Grandpa said it in the morning class, let's go home and discuss it with our parents. I haven't told my parents yet."

　　"Your father and mother will definitely let you go. Unless the children of our Psal Island are disabled, they usually go to study. When we go to the imperial capital, can you help me send a letter to my sister? I haven't seen my sister in over ten years."

　　"That's fine, wrap it on me."

　　It's just sending a letter. Of course, there is no reason for Frandy to refuse.

　　"Then thank you little Frandy." Aunt Evelyn touched Frandy's gift again and went home satisfied.
