After the battle for Copperhill and Tina's recovery, Cross was finally able to take a break.

Due to the escape of the soldiers in Copper Mountain, Cross and the others were able to stay in the original camp. This camp built by Sunset City is even better than the average residential house in Copper Mountain. Moreover, there were enough houses in the camp for Cross to live in one room each.

Close lay down and picked up the information that Gawain had put together in parchment.

There are only 37 people in Tongshan Town, including 6 children under the age of 12, and the original civilians in Tongshan Town can basically only mine, even women.

There are no fields, no artisans, and all the necessities here can only be exchanged for the ore they gather.

Cross let out a long sigh and secretly sighed: Copperhill Town has become like this, it must be the "credit" of the lord of Sunset City.

The narrow-minded Sunset Lord only treats Copperhill as a resource-drawn, and in order for Copperhill to be attached to Sunset City forever, the Sunset Lord will not allow Copperhill to be self-sufficient. That's why the residents of Tongshan had nothing to do when there were no mines to mine, so they could take a nap and then only mine for the rest of their lives.

For the greedy Sunset Lord, this is the only way he can exchange a large amount of ore from Copper Mountain Town at a price far below the market price, and sell these ores to the towns in the middle and lower reaches through the Blackwater River in exchange for more resources.

Of course, the civilians of Copperhill will definitely carry out a high load of mining work during the mining period, because only the ore mining period can bring Sunset City income, and the Sunset City Lord will not give up that precious period. This should also be the root cause of the residents of Copperhill Town complaining about being oppressed, after all, these residents are nothing more than slaves to the Lord of Sunset City.

The current situation in Copperhill is very poor, much worse than Cross imagined. Mainly the ability of the local civilians, except for Wendy and the female healer, no one else really knows anything.

Thinking of this, Cross was a little helpless, but he also had a general direction, and he was going to take a closer look around Copper Mountain Town the next day.

He was well aware that in order to develop, he had to expand.

He put the parchment paper on the head of the bed, rubbed his forehead, and suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion, he was a little exhausted by the recent succession, and he was going to sleep for a while.

Just then, the window suddenly opened, and Nia climbed in through the window.

"Nia!?"

"Shhhh......h

"Why are you here?"

"I felt a little bored, so I came to you. ”

"Boring, isn't there Tina with you?"

"I didn't understand what Tina and Wendy were talking about, so I was bored. ”

"Okay, but why don't you go through the main entrance?"

Nia stuck out her tongue, "Forgot ......"

Cross probably understood, it's not that Nia forgot, but that she got used to it, and the profession written when Nia registered was assassin, how could assassins go through the main door.

"Nia, your new clothes look good. ”

Nia looked down at the new clothes she had put on, "Well, this was given to me by Miss Wendy, and she told me that girls can't wear armor, they have to wear this kind of clothes. However, this dress is so inconvenient that I can't move flexibly. ”

Nia was not wearing the clothes of a commoner, she was wearing the clothes of a maid among the nobles. Maid dresses like this black and white style were very popular in the Kersman Empire.

This outfit may have been worn by Wendy's original maid, and this maid dress was also more suitable for Nia's petite figure, and Wendy just happened to put it on Nia.

It's just that for an assassin like Nia, this dress is really inconvenient to move.

The skirt is too long, and the sleeves are too long, even if the size is right, it still feels a little inconvenient.

"I quite agree with Wendy's approach, and I was going to have you wear something similar. ”

"Why? Lord Cross, is it just because it's pretty?"

"Of course not, as an assassin, you must know how to hide your identity, if you wear armor all the time, and you put the dagger in a clear place, then your identity will be easily revealed. ”

"That's true...... However, if I were to wear such clothes to assassinate, my success rate would be greatly reduced. ”

"I have a way, just make a long skirt into a short skirt and a long sleeve into a short sleeve. ”

Nia lowered her head again and looked at the maid's dress on her body, and then said with a smile, "Sure enough, nothing is difficult for Lord Cross. ”

"You can just let Wendy trim it. ”

"Hmm!"

"Nia, take off the hijab. ”

"No...... Even though everyone already knows that I'm half-human, I still think it's better to wear a headscarf. ”

"Would you be more human-like with a hijab?"

"Hmm...... I don't know, but I'll be relieved. ”

Cross got up from the bed, walked straight up to Nia, and took off her turban, and the two beast ears popped out.

Cross's entire movement was smooth and swift, and Nia didn't even react when the hijab was taken off.

"It's still so cute. ”

Nia immediately blushed and quickly picked up the headscarf that had fallen on the ground, "Lord Cross, you took off my headscarf at will." ”

"You're not bored. ”

"Then you can't do that......" As she spoke, Nia put on her headscarf and Cross sat back on the bed.

Looking at Nia, who was petite and cute, but faster than ordinary people, Cross had an idea.

"Nia, you won't be an assassin from now on. ”

"And what am I?"

"You are my bodyguard. ”
