Tess Shepard has never seen such a fancy teleportation array.

Right in front of her eyes, the magic circle that usually represents holiness, strength, or at least great wealth and power, engraved with magical runes that flowed in a shimmering light, was surrounded by colorful flowers. From roses to Kantaka's blue feather grass, they are mixed lively into a... vulgar, yet somewhat cute style. Coupled with the colorful ribbons flying above the magic circle and the fluorescent light falling like fireworks, the surrounding mountains are breathing. The tsunami of shouts, applause and whistles made her feel as excited as standing in a shabby little theater in Stonebridge Old Street Market, waiting for the curtain to open.

Sometimes Bertram's aesthetics is very normal and even elegant, and sometimes he likes this kind of noisy joy full of worldly flavor.

Tess thinks it's pretty good.

She whistled louder than anyone else, but the person they were about to welcome was not an actor.

A brighter light flashed above the magic circle, and amidst the commotion, the penetrating voice of Elf Amphit could still be heard clearly: "Let us welcome our first guest——"

He prolonged his tone, and the figure that suddenly appeared in the magic circle changed from bright and blurry to clearly visible, and the cheers around him surged up like a sea tide. At that moment, he raised his voice: "Interstellar Research Institute Ship Research A researcher at the institute, Tiat from Balah! He participated in the research on the portable micro cargo cabin we just got..."

The fat middle-aged man on the magic circle flushed with excitement and waved desperately to the crowd until someone led him down the teleportation circle, and the magic circle began to flash again.

The second person who was teleported over was also a researcher and a young mage. Although he was equally excited, he was a little shy. He flustered and seriously saluted the crowd, which caused another wave of high cheers.

The third guest was much more distinguished. When her thin and tall figure appeared on the teleportation array, even though many people did not know her, those enthusiastic but frivolous whistles naturally disappeared, leaving only neat applause. The sound became even more enthusiastic.

The middle-aged woman with strands of silver on her temples waved her hand, with a gentle smile on her lips. She wore an ivory white dress embroidered with light gold patterns, gorgeous and low-key, and was pressed down by a light gray shawl. It shows a bit of approachability and simplicity.

"Welcome -" Amphit, standing at the edge of the magic circle, respectfully extended his hand to the guests, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother of Rutger."

Bertram quickly stepped forward and took Moira from the elf.

"Welcome! Your Majesty..." He started, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother, who had never been so rude.

"Sorry," she leaned closer to Bertram's ear and lowered her voice slightly, "I'm afraid there was something unexpected..."

At this moment, the surrounding voices that had subsided slightly became louder again, and in the magic circle that began to dim, a girl in her teens with a round, slightly red face looked excited and somewhat confused under the enthusiastic gaze of the people. She clenched the hand of the little boy who was leaning next to her.

Yis, who had already taken a step forward, his eyes instantly darkened.

Amphit was stunned for a moment. One of the last two people who appeared was obviously different from what he knew and should appear...

He tried to smooth over this slightly embarrassing accident. But he was not an experienced host, so he was still stuck for a while.

Moira didn't have time to explain, she patted the back of Bertram's hand, turned around and raised her voice: "Welcome, the winner of the third Singer Academy Magic and Technology Integration Innovation Competition, Cen Shi from Hetland,

Her dream is to be a member of the Unicorn - and Willie Zinger...I guess I don't need to introduce him?"

A burst of laughter was followed by even louder cheers. The girl laughed so hard that her mouth split open, revealing her neat white teeth, and her steps were like a deer jumping.

Her smile couldn't help but freeze for a moment when she met a pair of ice-blue eyes, but the boy she held in her hand quickly made the frozen air flow again.

He held her hand and smiled softly at her when she looked down at him.

"Thank you for bringing me here," he said, "I found my uncle!"

When the girl was led to the side, she kept looking back in confusion and worry, but the boy had already rushed over and hugged Is's leg.

"Uncle Ace," he shouted, "I miss you so much!"

Although he was a little uneasy, Iss still lowered his head and rubbed his black curly hair subconsciously, and replied softly: "I miss you too."

"Willy!"

Nana jumped from his shoulder and hit the boy in the face without any courtesy: "You are fat again!"

Sure enough, it would be impossible without her watching!

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Yis grabbed Xiaolong's neck and gently put her into the boy's arms: "Before you say this, touch your belly first!"

Tess couldn't wait to squeeze over, stretched out her hand and pinched the boy's chubby cheek: "What's wrong with being fatter! Children have to be fat to be cute!"

Although Nana is also fat, she doesn’t have such a good hand feeling!

She couldn't help but put the boy, who was only a head shorter than her, into her arms and gave her a good massage. Willy just smiled, raised his head and rubbed her obediently, carefully protecting the quilt with one hand.

Nana, who was squeezed in the middle, didn't care about the pain caused by her tiny claws as she grabbed his clothes and climbed up. She still held on to Is with her other hand.

On the other side, Moira was explaining to Bertram apologetically: "There was a temporary problem with the negotiations in the Mist Spirit Realm. Naria also wanted to come back, but there was really no way to get out. Allen

In Hetland, the information released to the outside world has always been about five people, so I temporarily picked another one because time was too tight and I didn't have time to tell you. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble to you."

"No, no, no, of course not." Bertram replied repeatedly, "That's the best thing. It's time for me to apologize to you. It's because we didn't think carefully enough and we have to trouble you to clean up the situation for us."

"...Did she encounter any trouble?" Iss said suddenly.

Moira naturally understood what he really wanted to ask.

"I asked Narya if she needed help," she replied. "She said it was just a small problem that could be solved with some time and patience. There was no danger."

Iss nodded silently, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. It was unclear whether he was disappointed or depressed.

There was nothing he could do to help her.

His expression was so downcast that Moira couldn't help but take a second look.

Bertram had already stood on the teleportation array that also served as a stage, once again expressed a warm welcome to the guests, and presented them with special gifts - made of mithril and precious metals from five different planets.

Brooch in the shape of a unicorn.

After this, there was free time. Iss picked up Willie and went to the wall to look at some rare or interesting animal and plant specimens they had collected from various planets, and Moira was also led by Bertram to display them.

On the other side of the table and chair, I was drinking a novel juice from another planet while listening to the adventure stories of the Unicorn in the past two years.

After the "perfect victory" achieved by the Papoli III, the Unicorn has been sailing in the outer world for nearly a year.

Most of the planets they encountered were devoid of life, either so hot that even Yis could not approach them, or so cold and dead, with nothing but dust and rocks.

They have also seen some alien planets - some worlds that can no longer be called "balls", their irregular shapes are more like the fragments of a larger world after the collapse... They even found themselves on one of them.

I found some traces of civilization.

That was a civilization older than elves and even giants.

They also stayed on a planet completely covered by water, allowing the Unicorn to once again sail above the water, in the storm, like a real "ship"... and then almost got killed by a huge giant in the water.

The monster was swallowed up in one gulp.

Most of the planets with life have been "discovered", and the Brittans have footprints all over the star field. Many planets have never had their own civilization, or no longer have their own civilization. They know that the Ring Alliance is some of the planets

The "natives" were established to oppose such assimilation, trying to retain their own culture while accepting more advanced technology.

Clickstar finally joined the Star Circle Alliance. The alliance is not very strong, but it is extremely resilient. Although it is inevitably a bit stubborn, it still maintains its rationality.

In contrast, Bertram did prefer the independence and persistence of the Star Circle Alliance, but the Unicorn still did not lean to any side. They visited the largest commercial center in the outer realm of the Gardlet Empire, and also visited the Manning Empire.

In a mobile fortress built almost like a smaller planet, you can taste the spicy "food" that makes you feel out of your body, while listening to the soldiers of the empire calmly showing off their powerful strength.

They didn't encounter any more battles, but their "armor" had quietly been changed to the second version, which had better defense and was lighter and more breathable. It was like another layer of skin attached to the skin, making Estu

Can't refuse anymore; they have a long-range weapon like a beam gun that can switch between lethal and non-lethal, magic and non-magic, Terry keeps nagging

He said that this was an unnecessary setup, but he still couldn't put it down with the research results that he himself had participated in; in addition to the small beetle ship, they also had a compact fighter jet operated by one person, and a collection ship that could load and unload at least three cargo holds.

, and even another "Unicorn" - a main ship that is being competed for the naming rights, is almost completed.
Chapter completed!
