Gordon's seventh day of slumber in the lava lake.

These days, the cat-like clan has not been idle, they have come out of the initial state of panicking, wandering around the island, or praying to the goddess of the moon, Suren, to guide them in the direction of their progress.

Under the pacification of the patriarch Sinrut, they followed suit, and as usual, lived on the now quiet and comfortable island of Rika.

They didn't try to get out of here.

Although the fish-inhabited people in the sea are no longer in the climate, the only thing that can stop them from leaving the island is the rocks.

But the neutral and kind cat-like people will not break their promise, since they promise to become a true dragon dependent.

Then their identity will not change until something major changes them.

So they decided to wait for Gordon's return on the island.

However, there is also a certain factor due to the loss of the threat and coercion of fish-humans.

Rika Island is really a great place for cats to live.

After all, even if the cat-like race is in the free Karando, it may not be able to live at ease on Rika Island.

Every piece of land there has a Lord.

And if the cats want to gain a foothold in Karando, they must either be strong or have deep connections.

And neither, they don't have.

So, they counted it to Karando.

The only end, that is, the fate of becoming leeks to be slaughtered, will not be much better, and it is far worse than here.

It's also that Sinrut doesn't plan to leave the island for the time being.

Of course, the main and core problem is that they are too weak.

After experiencing a slaughter of cat-inversions by a fish-in-human spellcaster, they are not many strong people.

Among the hundreds of cat-transformed people, there are only a few or two second-order professionals who can be called keen after beastification, and most of them are worthy of the first order after beastification, or even less than the level of the first order.

It's worse than those goblins and kobolds......

Therefore, after this week has stabilized, the wise and far-sighted Feline Patriarch Sinlut has already begun to prepare for the vocational training plan of the younger generation of Cats.

They are natural jungle assassins and rangers, with a little training and learning, and weapons.

It is a qualified and not inferior to the combat power of ordinary adventurers.

And Luvia, a cat-like girl who once had a small amount of contact with Gordon.

He also began to take on some duties in the town, mainly responsible for the daily patrol work of the town.

But when she's not resting, she'll climb the volcano alone.

Enter the volcanic cavern that felt like it was scorching her hair.

Then look at the occasional bubbling magma lake in a daze, and don't leave the cave until it's almost dark or there is something to do.

Although she and Gordon had only known each other for less than two days, and the few days since they disappeared were less than ten days.

But she was already full of affection and admiration for the black dragon who saved her from the clutches of the fish-man.

After all, at that time, she was almost scared......

Thinking of this, a trace of redness appeared on Luvia's wheat-colored skin~, and the little tiger teeth leaked slightly, full of shyness.

But no one could see this scene except the scorching air and the dull volcanic rocks.

Only the occasional silent grunt magma bubbles broke and bloomed on the surface of the calm lake, turning into ripples~

On Karando's side, the seven days passed like a white horse.

On the seventh day, when the sun is rising.

Smoke and noise were just rising from the white metropolis.

In the apartment at No. 221 West Avenue on Black Street, Celia, who was still in the same attire, walked out.

The hood of the black robe obscured most of his face and the collar around his neck.

Only strands of playful gray hair and the lower half of the fair-skinned woman's face leaked out.

But wearing a slim black gold silk robe, and although it is a girl's body, the mysterious temperament exuded by the whole body has an inexplicable allure, and it is difficult not to guess the stunning beauty under the hood.

However, the people around who saw Celia's black street all lowered their heads and didn't dare to take a second look.

After what happened five days ago, no one dared to provoke this ruthless warlock lady who had obviously reached the third order.

Even if you don't know, you hear what others say.

I also knew the horror of the sorceress in front of me from their mouths, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my crotch.

So they all avoided it.

Celia has become one of the people who can't be provoked in the dark street, and secretly someone named her "Miss Wind Burst", but for some reason in the past few days, it has been spreading, and even Celia has heard it.

Celia was also depressed about this title.

The cause of the incident was five days ago.

The black street that has been cultivated by the paladin is already peaceful and can not be more peaceful.

Moreover, several gangs in the Black Street, including high-level cadres of the Dragon Hunter Gang, Finch and others, are still overseas and have not returned.

So when she bought some cooked food and packed it at the famous Black Hand Tavern in Black Street, she was accidentally glimpsed after being seen.

She didn't care.

But I didn't think about it.

The next time I came to buy it, I was blocked by five or six big men and thugs, and one of them was a second-order professional.

said that Master Andro wanted to see her, and told her that Andro was the eldest son of the owner behind the Black Hand Tavern.

If she is willing to follow Young Master Andro, then she can eat and drink spicy food.

Celia, of course, scoffed at it, and directly refused categorically, leaving without even looking.

But those people actually dared to do something to her, and their mouths were still flowery.

In the face of this group of villains, Celia naturally will not spare her hand.

But considering that the holy warrior was still patrolling the city, it was not appropriate to make a murder, so she only used the Wind Arrow Technique to punish a little.

It's just that in view of the previous foul language, Celia chose to shoot their lower bodies with wind arrows as punishment.

But I never thought that there would be such a big turmoil and bring her this title.

But the rumors are out, and if Celia is given another choice, she will still do it.

Besides, the title of "Miss Wind Burst" is not an insult.....

So Celia has no intention of going back to the roots, at most she is just a little depressed.

Gossip aside, Celia didn't go out alone this time, and Nina followed closely, still dressed neutrally, trying to hide her appearance.

Celia went out this time to take Nina to the docks.

One is to be responsible for the procurement of housing supplies, that is, decoration matters.

There is also a goods market in the docklands, which is different from Kindler Avenue in the trading area.

There's more of a place for everyday items, and Kindler Avenue is a haven for adventurers.

Although Celia does not plan to hire someone to decorate, lest the secret be discovered.

But some furniture still needs to be bought.

You know, during Gordon's absence for the past seven days, she used several fossilized clay scrolls to get those kobolds to dig through the upper and lower layers.

The bedroom on the first floor of the attic above is completely connected to the nest below.

To do this, Celia needed some decoration to hide the traces of the passage.

You also need to get some magic materials to make an active wall and bookshelf to create a movable shelter that can be easily discovered by others.

The second is to let Nina take a look at the sea, these days, Nina has been stuffed in the underground cavern every day, looking forward to Gordon's return.

Celia was worried that she was going to die.

Nina also nodded slightly, took the initiative to put her little hand on Celia's hand, and then followed her side, moving forward.

She really wanted to go to the docks and see the sea.

But not to distract yourself, but to see if you can find traces of Gordon on the sea.

It's been almost a week...... If it weren't for Celia's ability to move normally, Nina might have been restless a long time ago.

After the two figures left, the dark street lanes that had been silent for a while came alive again, as if there was no abnormality.

Celia and Nina make their way through the civilian area to the docks.

I also saw the paladin squad stationed at the intersection of the noble district next door, and was handing over the defense.

The noble district is still closed, as if the priests of the devil's ritual have not yet been found......

The two of them didn't stop at Nadoga either, but Nina glanced up at it with a slight curiosity and headed for the Trade Square in the docklands.

For them, it's a lot more attractive than here.

There are ornaments and small goods from all over the world, and it is said that you can see Oriental porcelain and silk there.

But the price is so expensive, only the Lord and the nobles would be willing to spend money on those things.

As the two figures moved away, they disappeared under the buildings in the dock area.

Paladin, Ward Yeye withdrew his doubtful gaze.

Two strangely dressed residents, originally he wanted to try it with [Detect Evil].

But when he saw the little eyes of the dragonborn girl, he hesitated, believing that the two people in front of him should have nothing to do with the devil.

After all, what a pure look it was.

Quickly put the matter behind you.

Ward Yeye was very focused on the intersection of the road, and had already patrolled the area around the aristocratic district.

He is to fulfill his duty and not let anyone out.

However, not long after Ward Yeye took over, the holy warrior who had taken over the previous shift was full of embarrassment.

"Ward, I forgot to give you something just now, huh~, your cloak. ”

The fellow paladin handed the cloak to Ward.

Ward immediately spotted the cloak, which was undoubtedly the one he had given to the maiden, named Riya, to wrap himself in.

"It's ......"

Ward muttered, he almost forgot, after all, paladins do have many cloaks, not like armor, only one.

"A girl from the aristocratic district sent it back., and she didn't find you when she came, so let me pass it on to you....."

The paladin companion told Ward very happily.

"Oh...... And what about her....... Didn't say anything?"

Ward hesitated for a moment, recalling the scene of that day, thinking of Liya's delicate appearance and touching style.

I couldn't help but blurt out what I thought.

However, when it comes to this, the paladin companions can't help but feel embarrassed, but the paladins never lie.

So he was still very calm and told Ward everything that had happened last night.

"She came here in the middle of the night wearing only one shoe, and I thought she was a nobleman who wanted to escape from the noble district, and I used a [Detect Evil] ...... on her. ”

"However, [Detecting Evil] did not find an evil aura on her, and then I saw the cloak in her hand again, and when I inquired, I realized that she had come to give you a cloak. ”

She didn't say anything, but when she found out that you weren't there, she cried here for a little that night, and then she left her cloak and went back, and she told me not to say anything when she was leaving. ”

"I agreed, so Ward, forgive me for not saying it at first, I thought you wouldn't ask. ”

The words of the paladin companion directly stunned Ward, especially when he heard Liya crying, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

"Is she your lover?"

The paladin companion looked at Ward's somewhat nervous face and asked curiously.

"It's not. ”

Ward shook his head, a little distracted by his companion's words, his mind full of thoughts.

"Why is she crying, why is she leaving, why is she not saying a word?"

While Ward was thinking, his fellow paladin was not idle, and his voice was heard in his ears.

"Oh, Ward, you know her, right, my good brother, do you have her home address?"

"I want to pursue her! she's the most beautiful and kind girl I've ever met. ”

I used [Detect Evil] on her and said to me, "Trouble, Paladin-sama!" The voice was better than that of a bird. ”

"Like those muddy nobles who also live in the aristocratic district, she is like an angel!

The paladin companion suddenly came to his senses, and after hearing Ward's denial, he generously admitted his good opinion of Riya and wanted to fight for it.

Only then did Ward wake up abruptly and vetoed categorically.

"No, Marcus! she's me...... No, I met Leah first! You can't do that!"

Ward looked warily at his fellow paladins.

Even if it is a holy warrior, in the face of the reproduction of the opposite sex, he will not give up an inch of land.

Ward's voice was loud, loud enough for some passers-by to stop and watch.

However, there was only a misunderstanding between the holy warriors, and there was no jealousy.

So, when the paladin Marcus Gilry heard Ward's words, he knew that he hadn't asked clearly.

His expression quickly changed to apologetic.

"I'm sorry! Ward, my good brother, I was mistaken!"

After listening to Marcus's words, Ward realized that he was a little too nervous, and scratched his head and apologized embarrassedly.

"It's okay...... Actually, I'm so excited, I'm sorry, Marcus. ”

So, Ward stepped forward and used his red and white armoured hand to make a powerful wrestling move with his fellow paladin in front of him, signaling that the relationship between the two of them remained the same.

Marcus also appropriately hooked Ward's outstretched arm, patted his shoulder armor hard, and said.

"It's all right, but why is she crying? Did you mess with her?"

"I don't know ......"

Ward shook his head, he wanted to know too.

"Good luck with that, brother!"

So, after saying goodbye to Marcus, Ward continued to be on duty until the next round of replacements, when he didn't even have time to take off his armor.

Coming to the position where he was separated from Liya last time, he stood in front of the door, full of hesitation.

But before he could make up his mind to knock on the door, it clicked open.

It was Liya, but her face was very haggard now, not as moist as it had been before.

When she saw Ward, she immediately threw herself into Ward's arms, and began to cry, tactfully and poignantly, which made people's hearts ache slightly.

Ward had experienced this, and hurriedly pushed open the door and led Liya inside.

She was embarrassed to be held outside.

It wasn't until Liya had cried for about ten minutes that her tears dried up, and she sobbed and told her about these days.

After hearing this, Ward was furious!

"What! Your father is going to marry you to the man who almost forced you last time?"

"Ridiculous!

He muttered streak with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"But...... Our family went bankrupt, just like a week ago, and many merchant ships lost a lot of money in that storm, and my father was one of them. ”

"Then that's not a reason to send you to marriage!"

"Usury crushed ...... If I don't agree, the blood of the nobility will disappear in our generation, and this may be the fate of the nobility......"

Liya's voice lowered, apparently resigned to her fate.

Hearing Ria say this, Ward knew he didn't need to say anything more.

As a holy warrior, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, these were reasonable and legitimate, and he couldn't intervene at all.

He could only sigh heavily, intending to leave here.

But not wanting his arm to be grabbed by a soft hand with some ice, he hesitated slightly and turned his head.

found a soft and sweet, and a little violent and raging lips, and kissed it.

He couldn't catch him off guard, so he could only stare wide-eyed and look at the aristocratic girl who suddenly pounced on him.

When he tried to struggle, he heard a slight whisper in his ear.

"But...... I don't belong to him right now, so you can use me as much as you want, Lord Ward......"

Ward wanted to refuse to push away, but a slender hand had already fumbled his way, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

looked at the rebellion and determination in the eyes of the aristocratic girl.

Ward couldn't imagine how much courage she had mustered to say this.

Thinking of this, Ward's hands and feet stiffened, and he was led upstairs by the maiden and into the room like a harmless sheep.

And the weak girl in front of her suddenly turned into a female leopard with a desire for revenge.

The bedroom door on the second floor slammed shut as the two entered.

Armor, long skirts, jingle bells!

In the room, accompanied by joy, a high symphony is played.

Until dusk sets westward, night falls.

Ward Yeye, whose legs were a little weak, was wearing armor, and he walked out of the noble district with some weakness and walked towards the temple.

And Liya watched him leave, like a newlywed woman looking at her husband who had left home, and she was looking forward to it.

It wasn't until the paladin disappeared that she closed the door.

Began to hum a song and walked into the room, a small single room with no windows on the first floor, and there was no other decoration in it when it was pushed open.

Only in front of it is a life-size mirror covered with red silk cloth.

Liya stood in front of the mirror, uncovered the silk cloth, and began to tidy up her appearance.

If someone stands behind Liya, they will find that the noblegirl in the room is gorgeously decorated, but in the mirror, she has a completely different appearance.

In the mirror, she was dressed in a few simple pieces of tulle, her chest and back were not covered in the slightest, and her long amber hair and pool-like purple eyes matched with Na Liya's appearance were even more breathtaking.

It's just that Liya in the mirror doesn't have only one face, she has three different faces switching between faces, as if looking for contrast.

Among the three, Relia, Liya's face is impressive.

After a long time, Liya, who had finished tidying up her face, walked out of the room and closed the door.

However, the shadow in the mirror has not disappeared, and the "Liya" inside has a happy smile.

muttered.

"This is the taste of the Holy Warrior, you really won't get tired of tasting it!"

"This is the sweetness of depravity! This is the fragrance of corruption! Praise be to the Nine Hells!"

Raging laughter, silently resounding in the mirror.

Soon, a gust of wind blew.

The red silk cloth obscured the mirror again.

It's as if nothing happened......
