(for a variety of reasons...... During this time, it may not be possible to achieve a stable weekly update, so try to update it if you can...... ）

"I just heard you woke up, how's it going?"

Samuel walked in and walked towards Lustma.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes fixed on the front, and the sound of footsteps came to her before she turned her head.

"As you see it, it's incredible. ”

Before she was dizzy, she really thought that she was going to die, and when she died frequently, the feeling she experienced was really hard to forget. The world seemed to tilt to one side, accompanied by unbearable pain, and the sound of the heartbeat was amplified many times. Even the most stupid person understands how bad and dangerous it is, as if everything in the body is swollen with toxins, so that everywhere it is sending out pain signals.

Now, at this moment, the feelings of that time are gone.

However, everyone is saying that she is not actually poisoned.

After coming back, it was inexplicably better.

What's going on?

Was it just a dream?

Or is it a hallucination?

It's so incredible.

Samuel couldn't figure out what was going on, couldn't explain her doubts, and was about to say something, when she suddenly noticed that the two beds next to her were empty, and pointed to the two places on the other side.

"Are you awake?"

"Ah, that's right, two of them woke up, a priest and a knight, and they just went out, probably to find Vance. ”

"That's right. ”

Samuel held out a hand.

"What?"

"If you can't get out of this room yet, give me the money and I'll buy you some food. ”

Anyway, he doesn't have much to do now, and it's good to run errands to make a little money.

“…… Thank you for your kindness, I'm not a cripple who can't walk. ”

"Hmph, that's a pity. ”

"Wait, what do you mean by regret?!"

"Nothing. ”

Samuel waved his hand to indicate that he was leaving.

“……”

Rosema sat for a few minutes, and figured out a small delicate object, which was a magic prop they intended to use to communicate. She glanced at it, took it back, and soon took it out again, touched it a few times, and it was as dull as usual.

If you use it, it will glow instantly.

However, she didn't do that.

Staring at the small object, let out an inaudible sigh.

“…… Hopefully not what I thought it would be. ”

Nervousness, and some kind of indescribable fear, not wanting to reach out, otherwise......

Coming out of that room, Samuel was going to go out for a walk, there was nothing to do here anyway.

As he passed through a certain room, he heard a faint whimper, felt something strange, and quietly opened the door to that room, and saw a figure that was not supposed to be there.

The movement of opening the door also attracted the attention of the other party, and he immediately turned his face.

"Meow, how could it be you!"

The other party was obviously startled and quickly wiped his face.

"You...... What the hell are you doing?"

He gave him a suspicious look.

"Is there anything in the utility room? Or are you looking for something here?Found by the people of the temple, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"There's no such thing, Lilil didn't do anything!"

"It's suspicious. ”

"Lilil didn't do anything!"

"Then what are you doing sneakily here? What about Himma? Aren't you supposed to go out with her?"

"She's got something to deal with......"

“……”

"Lilil really didn't do anything strange! Don't tell anyone about meow!"

"Hmph, you didn't do anything strange, and when she comes back, she may suspect that I did something strange, you'd better look in the mirror and look into your eyes, I don't want to be misunderstood. ”

"Meow?!"

Before she could say the next word, Samuel closed the door, not interested in participating in the emotions of these people.

"Meow...... Is there such a distinct meow?"

Lilil rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself.

"Those people...... When it fell into the hands of the shadow mage, it became like that...... No, they're dead, dead but alive......" Although not as close as Ruthma, but seeing them finally bound together by Hima's magic, the stench of corruption emanating from those people cannot be ignored in any way.

Before the house burned down, Lilil glanced at the door as she left the door.

What were they like when they were alive, and what kind of torture they went through, to become like that.

I can't imagine it, it's hard to imagine, and I don't dare to imagine it too deeply.

After just a little guessing, I began to feel scared inside.

I trembled with fear, and tears flowed out of my tears without being scared.

She knew she had to be brave, otherwise what was she here for?

Still, despite knowing this, she felt terrible.

“……”

"Brother...... What happened to you when you fell into the hands of that kind of person, what did you do...... What did you encounter......"

Lilil covered her cheeks and cried sadly.

Quickly reaching the door, Samuel finally met one of the two beds that had been vacant before, one of the owners of the branch.

Samuel exchanged a few words of greeting with the other party and inquired about the current situation.

He told Samuel that the chief knight was on his way back, and that the place would soon be back to its normal state, and thanked Samuel that when they were all asleep, thanks to Samuel and others, the place would not be completely empty.

Moreover, branches of other towns are not allowed to send other knights or priests at will until the situation is clear.

When encountering such a tricky matter, only the highest person in charge of the temple has the ability to solve it.

The terrifying thing about shadow mages is that for the knights or priests stationed in the branch, they are completely unqualified and powerful to deal with. Only knights or priests from the temple headquarters have the ability to resist. In other words, there is a big gap between the temple branch and the temple headquarters.

The role of the temple branch is to help maintain order in the town, help some injured and sick people, and the most important thing is to collect information and send it to the headquarters. For example, keep an eye out for events in the town, and report to the headquarters as soon as you notice signs of a shadow mage.

Samuel wanted to continue chatting for a while, when Hima returned from outside.

For some reason, she put on a stinky face, as if she didn't see Samuel, and walked in angrily.

"Is this being ignored?"

Samuel shrugged, it seemed that she was in a really bad mood, and no matter how bad the relationship was, she would at least say hello.

Hima walked inside, and after walking for a short time, she happened to see Lilil.

"Hima, you're back. ”

"Meow!"

"What's wrong, meow, you're frowning?"

Hima patted her cheek, her expression softening a little.

"You're reading the wrong meow!"

"Meow?"

"Is Ruthma okay?"

"She looks good, meow, she should be really good. ”

"That's good......"

"What's the matter, meow? Your brow furrowed again, could it be that Rosema has something else to do?

"No, no, don't worry!" she quickly shook her head and waved her hand, "I'll go see her." ”

"It's okay, meow. ”

Saying goodbye to Lilil, Hima returned to the room and stood in front of the door, taking a deep breath, trying to make her expression less serious and not frown as Lilil had said.

However, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Lolog, that idiot!

I didn't know that at the time when a few of them set off to leave the territory of the Cat Clan, no one found out, not even Ruthma herself, and cast a magic on Ruthma to transfer injuries and pain. While Rosema is safe and sound, there is nothing, and in case she is seriously injured, the magic will kick in on its own.

No matter how powerful the mage is, she can't notice it when it doesn't start, and at that time, after Rosema fell, she focused most of her attention on the shadow mage, and she didn't even notice it. Well, even if you perceive it, you can't do anything, and once you activate it, you can't reverse it.

From Rosema falling, to waking up.

Everybody thought it was amazing.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

A miracle that could never happen.

Himma thought about it for a long, long time before she realized that this could not be a miracle at all.

She immediately contacted the Gruul in the land.

First contact, no response.

The second time, the third time......

Fourth ...... Fifth ......

……

…………

It wasn't until the nineteenth time, when it was almost dawn, that she contacted Lologer and heard Lorog's voice.

"Are you looking for death? Idiot! No matter how good your magic is, you can't play like this!"

Himma immediately ran out of the branch, not wanting anyone else to know about it.

She found a quiet place on the street and cursed.

scolded for a while before slowly stopping, and then listening to the other party's answer.

The Cat Folk need Gruul very much, no, it should be said, Gruul must exist, Gruul must not have an accident.

This guy is playing with his own life, does he know how important he is to the cat people!

Lorog said dozens of sorry in a row, and then, he began to think that Himma's reaction was exaggerated, and said that after all, he was the head shaman of the temple in the past, and he himself had a certain resistance to magic damage. Moreover, during the time when he was the chief shaman, because of the needs of research, he tasted all kinds of strange potions, large and small, poisonous and non-toxic, and all kinds of strange effects, he tried them all.

He explained that even if it is poisonous, his body has a certain ability to resist.

However, it is too simple to come up with these explanations to dispel Himma's anger?

Hima scolded for more than an hour, until her throat began to feel uncomfortable, then she stopped, went to find something to drink to moisten her throat, and then went back to see Ruthma.

She's not going to get out of breath so easily.

In any case, let Lolog know how wrong he was doing.

It's not that she doesn't care about the safety of Ruthma among her companions, but if you compare it, the cat people are more important, and for the cat people, Lorog is absolutely indispensable. Well, she was still glad that Rosema was intact, and it was still worth celebrating.

Who is right and who is wrong at this point of judgment, or who is responsible?

Hima felt a little conflicted.

******

The sound of cannon salutes resounded throughout the sky, followed by beautiful and dazzling fireworks, and the mood of the people was joyful and high, and the atmosphere was high and excited. That's right, this day is a special day.

The gate of the palace was open to the outside world, and people entered the palace in batches and in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the palace soldiers.

In less than an hour, the crowd in the palace swarmed, and under the command of many soldiers, people entered the arranged area. The nobles whispered to them on the other side, and it was another area that had been divided, with beautiful fountains and trees, and benches to sit and rest.

"Oh my God, there are so many people!"

"I guess, there are at least 100,000 people, the air has become so hot, tall, short, fat, thin, I can't see what the situation is on the other side!"

Compared to the crowd that entered the palace from the outside, the area where the nobles were located was much more comfortable. What's more, there are only a few hundred people here at most, and many nobles even bring their own servants. Lying in the sun and watching the fireworks in the sky make the atmosphere a little different.

Despite their different statuses, everyone came here for the same reason.

For most of El people, this is a day of great joy and joy.

How long has it been since the last time it was just as lively?

At that time, Ansel was still a child, a little prince who had not yet grown up.

Now, he walked onto the magically improvised terrace, facing the dense crowd below, the micro-crowd nodded, and began to speak a lengthy opening remark.

"Today, I would like to first praise the great gods of the Quartet, the continent of Vorgulette under our feet, the country of all of us, and even, all those who have come here. I...... It's really nice to meet you guys, to see you all standing here, listening to me......"

After five minutes, Anse Air finally finished his flashy and meaningless opening statement.

"You must already know that the venue of this six-nation meeting is yes, that is, the kingdom of Remirabel. Not long ago, the kings of our six nations voted among themselves on the location of this six-nation meeting. In the end, Remira Bell received the most votes. ”

"I would like to apologize to you for not being able to hold this six-nation meeting in our El, and I also feel very sorry......"

However, the result has come out, and this is a fact that cannot be changed, and this is actually the result of the decision of the great four gods. Therefore, no one, including me, can go against the will of the four gods. And then, what I'm going to say next, can you guess what it is?"

Anse El paused, then smiled.

"Let me sell it for the time being, and then I will hand it over to the other members of our royal family, who also have something to say about this meeting of the Six Nations. ”

Ansel turned and walked away, followed by an impatient Grienel who had been waiting since the beginning.

Grienel's physique is a bit more burly than Ansel, and although he is not as handsome as Ansel in appearance, the brother, who is four years older than Ansel, is superior to Ansel in terms of maturity and physical fitness.

Although Ansère's temporary departure caused a chorus of boos, Grienel's appearance caused another uproar.

"His Majesty's opening remarks are very majestic, and Brother Grienel is also very charming. ”

Ollie looked at Ansel as he approached him, smiling somewhat like Ainsel.

It seemed that she listened carefully to everything Ansel said just now.

Beside her, Betha greeted Ansel, who replied with a few words and glanced at the other person. Even on this occasion, there was only one exception, and that was the absent-minded Freon, who was not at all interested in this kind of thing, and what she was really interested in was the magic book she was flipping through in her hand.

"I reminded her, because she hasn't played yet, so I'm ......"

A wry smile spread across Besta's lips.

"Unfortunately, Sidjr still can't come. ”

"It's enough to have my cutest sister!"

Ollie interjected, her boasting to herself, amusing the two men.

Aisha was a herald and stayed in the aristocratic quarter, and His Majesty temporarily withdrew from the throne and was replaced by her superior.

"It's his turn to speak!"

His Majesty's speech was so brilliant that Aisha wondered what Grienel would say afterwards.

For her first time on such an occasion, everything was so new.

"Now it's my turn, will you be a little more disappointed? Or be a little more happy? I don't think you don't still know who I am? I also went to the street myself during the New Year's celebration, and if you forget it so easily, I have to doubt myself, look in the mirror, do you want to add a few strokes to make a deeper impression on everyone?"

"Ahem, don't take it seriously, I really won't add a few more strokes to my face, that's all for jokes, after enlivening up the atmosphere, it's time to get down to business......"

Aisha listened, and suddenly realized that there was no one around.

"Huh, where have you been? The knight's job is almost over to help with order, right?"

"It's strange to leave ...... on this occasion"

I looked left and right, but I didn't notice the knight who was standing beside me.

He left the noble district and hurried onto another path.

He wanted to get away from the crowd, away from the people who had nothing to do with him.

He wasn't sure if he would be able to hear the end from the beginning, and if he faced the person, he might have an expression that he couldn't control if anyone noticed. He didn't want to be suspected, and he couldn't have any doubt.

He took a few deep breaths, his heart beating like usual.

Yes, he was excited, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he rushed over and grabbed the guy by the neck.

That guy must have a lot of security around him, not to mention the sword of the wind in his hand. Moreover, some of the things that have already been cultivated in his bones are difficult to change in his past as a Navit for so many years. If he rushed in front of that guy, with what he knew about himself, he would definitely find out immediately.

If you want to approach without suspicion, you must be 100% successful.

He had to wait, wait for the right moment.
