Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“This is my first time in South America.”

After getting off the plane, Fang Zheng looked at the exotic scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks like we can have a good trip this time. Let's go, Esther."

"Hey, wait, where are you going?"

Seeing Fang Zheng and Esther preparing to leave, the mercenary captain hurriedly asked. In response to his question, Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"Ester and I are going to go for a walk and see the sights. I'll leave the old bat and the poor little thing to you, Captain."

"Why……"

Bernadotte was speechless as he watched Fang Zheng and Esther leave on their own. This time, he was ordered to accompany Fang Zheng and Akkad to Rio de Janeiro to search for information about the mysterious organization in South America. However, he did not expect that Fang Zheng would part ways with them just after getting off the plane...

But what could he do? He was also desperate!

"Why……"

Sighing again, Bernadotte turned around and looked at Akkad, who was wearing a black suit and striding down from the plane behind him... For a moment, he felt that the future was going to be very difficult...

However, Fang Zheng was certainly not concerned about the feelings of the unfortunate mercenary captain. In fact, he had already left the airport with Esther, and at the same time picked up a guide map of Rio de Janeiro and began to think about where he should go to have some fun.

"Well... first we'll go see the Christ the Redeemer statue, then go to Sugarloaf Mountain, and then eat some local delicacies..."

Anyway, everything is reimbursed by the British government, so don’t miss the chance to eat and drink on public funds!

"Owner."

Just as Fang Zheng was planning the travel route, Esther, who was following him, suddenly spoke.

"Someone is following us."

"Let them follow."

Hearing Esther's reminder, Fang Zheng answered without turning his head. In fact, when leaving the airport, Fang Zheng had already noticed that someone was following them. But Fang Zheng didn't care. They came here to fish. If the fish bites, it would be great for Fang Zheng. However, if the fish doesn't bite, it doesn't matter. Anyway, for Fang Zheng, the main purpose of coming here is to travel and fight. As for investigation... Aren't there Akkad and the mercenary here?

After deciding on the travel route, Fang Zheng immediately called a taxi and took Esther away from the airport.

Not long after they left, a black sedan started up quietly and followed the taxi of Fang Zheng and others.

It was the peak tourist season, and you could see crowds and loud music everywhere. Rio de Janeiro was not a very modern city, but it had its own unique charm. Fang Zheng was quite leisurely, and took Esther around. They first visited the famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, and then went to Sugarloaf Mountain. As for investigation and search, Fang Zheng didn't even think about it, after all, he was dating a girl right now!

Isn't it the same if you wait until after the date to do serious work?

"Owner."

Just as Fang Zheng was leading Esther away from Bread Mountain, Esther suddenly reached out and tugged at Fang Zheng's sleeve. Then the silver-haired beauty reached out her hand and pointed to the roadside.

"What is that?"

"oh?"

Hearing Esther's request, Fang Zheng also looked in the direction of Esther's finger, and saw an ice cream truck parked on the roadside not far away. Esther was staring at the ice cream on it, and it was obvious that she was quite interested in this kind of food.

"You've never had it? Ice cream?"

"No."

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Esther shook her head.

"In my world, only Sword Dancers can create ice and snow, but I have never seen them use ice and snow to create edible things."

What is Sword Dancer?

Although he was confused, Fang Zheng did not ask too much. He also knew that Esther came here from another world and did not know much about many things in this world. However, Esther was not a bumpkin from the countryside. During the days he spent with her, Fang Zheng had discovered that although Esther's original world was not a technological civilization, it was not a backward civilization system. At least many modern creations had similar things in Esther's world.

Just like refrigerators and showers, there are similar products in the world of Esther, but these things are not driven by electricity, but controlled by some kind of elves... This is also a very different place.

"It's nice to have some ice cream in this weather."

Fang Zheng raised his head, glanced at the scorching sun, and then walked to the ice cream truck with Esther.

"What flavor do you want, Esther?"

"Um……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Esther stared at the ice cream in front of her and thought for a moment, then stretched out her hand and pointed at one of them.

"that."

"Okay, two vanilla ice creams please."

After hearing Esther's answer, Fang Zheng ordered two vanilla ice creams and handed one to Esther. The sword elf curiously approached the ice cream and licked it like a small animal trying out an unknown exotic food. Then she stuck out her tongue and licked it gently.

“Woo…”

The next moment, Esther showed a satisfied expression and closed her eyes slightly.

“How does it taste?”

“It’s delicious.”

Although Esther's expression did not change, it could be seen from her cheerful tone that this sword elf liked this kind of food very much. Looking at Esther's happy expression, Fang Zheng also nodded.

But then again, if Nymph were here, what would she say?

Thinking of his little angel, Fang Zheng felt a little depressed again. He stretched out his hand and gently grasped it, feeling the invisible chain wrapped around his right hand. Although the chain was still in Fang Zheng's hand, he had no way to get in touch with the little angel through the chain, and he didn't know what the situation was like at the Tiandao Palace...

"Owner?"

But at this moment, Esther's voice suddenly sounded again. Fang Zheng looked down and saw that his sword elf was staring at him quietly with its eyes open.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

"Sorry, I just thought of something. Something about my companion."

Hearing Esther's question, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, then he reached out and touched Esther's little head.

"companion?"

"Yes, you may not know yet, but before you, I also summoned a few elves, um... but for some reason, I was temporarily separated from them and couldn't contact them. Because of this, I am more or less worried about them."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards the street in front of him. It was already dusk, and in the distance he could still see people playing on the beach. Cheerful music was carried by the wind, but it gave Fang Zheng a feeling as if he was in another world.

No, it should be said that for Fang Zheng, this is indeed a different world.

"...I really don't know when I can return to Tiandao Palace..."

Fang Zheng muttered to himself in a low voice. After the nightmare of Yharnam, he was now trapped in such a crazy place. Fang Zheng felt a little tired. He wanted to go back to his own world, back to Tiandao Palace. Walking on the street, he could see the happy smiles of the cursed children. When he returned home, Xia Shi and Tina would come to greet him. They would have dinner together. Tilia would flirt with him secretly behind Hecate's back. The vampire and Yanzhu would quarrel, and Bushicui would mediate... Occasionally, they would go to the grassland outside for a picnic in their spare time...

The most important thing is that for Fang Zheng, that is his home.

At this moment, Fang Zheng felt a soft and warm body hugging him, and the next moment, in front of Fang Zheng's eyes, Esther's beautiful and delicate face, as dreamy and lovely as a snow elf, appeared.

"Esther?"

"Master, I will always be by your side."

Staring at Fang Zheng in front of him, Esther spoke in a serious tone.

"I am the master's contracted spirit, and I will never leave you, master."

"Thank you, Esther."

Hearing Esther's answer, Fang Zheng smiled and touched her little head.

“Da da da da!!”

The sky was gradually getting dark, but the noisy music was getting louder and louder. Soon, accompanied by shining lights, Fang Zheng saw a parade moving forward along the street. Tourists excitedly surrounded the floats, watching the samba girls dancing on the floats and whistling constantly.

The night celebration has begun.
