This year's winter seems to have come a little late, and it is clear that the beginning of winter has passed, but the heavy snow has not fallen for a long time.

Although there was no snow, the temperature was already winter, and feeling the impending chill in the air, Thor tightened his collar. At the moment, he was in an alleyway near the Lord's Mansion in Newtown, and there were not many pedestrians.

As he walked, Thor peered into the alleyway by the light of the surrounding buildings, as if to see if there was a tail behind him, or some malicious gaze hidden in the shadows.

He came to Newtown this time mainly to catch a round trip before the heavy snow was closed, and to see if there were any goods worth selling at the Newtown Market, and there was also a reason that he wanted to ask Cleidy for help.

Today was the last week of the month, Starfall, and according to the promise he had never made with Chletty, he didn't know if he would ever meet the beautiful half-elf. Anyway, if you can see it, it doesn't matter if you can't see it.

Along the manor wall to the right of the main entrance of the Lord's Palace, Thor counted in his mind as he went, until he was between the sixteenth and seventeenth trees, and then he stopped.

Approaching the wall, Thor quickly spotted a thick rope hanging down the wall, and sure enough, there was!

Trying to pull it, the other end of the rope should be firmly attached to something in the courtyard wall, enough to bear his weight.

Finally glancing around the alleyway, Thor tightened the rope and pulled himself against the wall a few times, sneaking into the Lord's Mansion without a word.

Thor is not good at being a thief, but he has been mixed with Xiugues all year round, and it is inevitable that he has exaggerated some of them.

Carefully dodging two groups of patrolling guards, Thor followed the gravel path beneath his feet, reaching the low wall at the end, where he hung on the top of the wall and climbed over it with ease.

It seems that Chretty is not lying to herself, and Thor can tell that she is in the garden at the moment. Looking through the garden, you can see the bright lights in the dining room of the Lord's Mansion in the distance, and you don't know if the feast in the hall is in full swing or has already ended.

Thor climbed the tree and sat down on the thick branches, he wasn't sure if it was the same tree that night, and he didn't know if he was too early or too late. Anyway, wait, the seclusion and silence of this corner of the garden pleased Saul.

After waiting for about half an hourglass, there was the sound of small footsteps among the grass blades in the garden.

"Why are you here at this time?" said Chletty's melodious voice, full of surprise.

Thor turned his head and saw the faint silhouette of Cretty in the darkness, but he couldn't make out her expression. I wanted to deal with it casually, but when I opened my mouth, Saul didn't say anything, feeling a little guilty.

He suddenly imagined that this beautiful girl, who had high expectations for herself, would come here every second and fourth week of the month to come and see, or sit alone, rain or shine.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a year, even if she has never fulfilled her agreement, she still silently repeats this expectation, and I don't know how many disappointments she has experienced over the past year.

Patting the trunk of the tree beside him, Thor motioned for her to sit down.

"Uh... This one... Today...... Uh, I might be a little inconvenient. Chletty stumbled in a somewhat lost tone.

"It's okay, it's already night, you can rest early, I'll sit down for a while and leave." Thor replied flatly, turning his head to look at the night view of Newtown, perhaps she was temporarily held back by someone or something, and Thor understood.

In the darkness, Chletty stomped her foot.

"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon. Shouting at the tree, she turned and ran away.

After a few more moments, Cletti returned to the bottom of the tree and took Thor by the hand and pulled him to the tree.

"Are you finally willing to come and see me?" said Chletty, sitting down on the trunk beside Thor, and from the tone of her voice, she was in a good mood.

Cletti wore a wide-brimmed top hat on her head, and two veils draped from the brim of the hat obscured her countenance.

"It's not like you haven't seen it, as for it?" Thor looked at her with some amusement.

"You care about me, I want to keep it a little mysterious, and see my beautiful face, what if you have bad intentions?" Chretty teased.

"Who's that?" Thor stared at the garden.

The moment Chletty subconsciously turned her head, Thor lifted her top hat and hid it aside.

"Oh! Chretty raised her hand and slapped Thor on the shoulder, then hurriedly raised her hand to cover her face.

"Who did that?" asked Thor as he looked at the lights in Newtown.

"Who else, after reading so many stories, doesn't you know that most stepmothers are very hateful creatures? ”

There was some redness on the side of Cletty's beautiful face, and there was still a little bruise at the corner of her eye, as if she had been slapped by someone. Anyway, she was discovered, and she didn't hide it anymore, holding Thor by the arm and leaning on his shoulder.

"You...... Don't be like this, and your skirt is dangerous, I can see it...... Very nervous. Thor was a little speechless.

It's not just a top hat, Cletty has obviously dressed up carefully on the trip just now, and changed into a gauzy short skirt, which can barely cover part of her thighs, and the fatal skin is very dazzling.

"Poof~ It's hypocritical, you're going to be nervous? It's okay, I'll allow you to look at it casually, and it doesn't matter if you even stretch your hand, I promise I won't tell Erin. Chletty was still as lively as she was, dangling her calves from the trunk.

Suddenly hearing Erin's name, Thor's expression instantly darkened, and he turned his head to look at the night scene.

"You ...... What's wrong?" is as smart as Chretty, who never misses a detail.

After Thor's general explanation, the air was a little dull.

"Huh~ Women are always accustomed to planning their lives in advance, such as what kind of life they live with what kind of man and in what place, and it is best to have a perfect ending. And men are adventurers, and the unknown and mystery seem to have a fatal attraction to them. ”

"Erin, that silly girl, doesn't know what she's given up yet. "Chretty tries to sum up, to liven up the atmosphere.

"You don't have to deliberately praise me, and don't talk about her like that, I'm far from that good, it's me who doesn't deserve it. Thor replied calmly.

"So, don't you love it?" asked Chletty.

"I don't like the word 'love', love is aggression from body to soul. Thor turned his head to look.

"Love hurts each other, good people choose to hurt themselves, and selfish people choose to hurt others. Chletty looked at Saul.

“......”

"So you're so sad that you don't even have the courage to live?" Klettie stared at Thor suspiciously.

"The sadness is over, and I actually want to laugh a little, because the way you just spoke suddenly reminds me of a dog. Oh, sorry, I didn't scold you, that's really a very special dog. ”

In Chletty's pretty eyes, Thor explained, and then continued.

"One day, a hunter went out hunting on a horse with a hound. ”

"Unfortunately, I had bad luck today, and I didn't get anything after wandering in the forest for a day. ”

Helpless, the hunter could only ride around on horseback, waiting for luck to favor him. ”

As he walked, the horse suddenly turned back impatiently and asked the hunter, "How long will it take?" and when will I eat?

Seeing the horse speak suddenly, the hunter was so frightened that he rolled off the horse's back and dragged the hound all the way. It was only after fleeing to the back of a dirt slope that the hunter dared to lie on the dirt slope and look back at the movement behind him, but fortunately the horse did not catch up. ”

However, when the hunter turned his head, he saw the hound next to him with his back against the dirt slope, caressing his furry chest with his paws. And said to the hunter with an innocent face, "Oh my God! That horse can talk!"

Then the poor hunter fainted. ”

"Poof~heheha!" As soon as Thor finished telling the story, Cleidy immediately burst into a poignant shriek, laughing so hard that her blonde hair was shaking. Although the voice was still pleasant, it still frightened Thor and hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand.

"You...... Normally, to be honest, this doesn't match your usual image of a lady. Thor looked around in horror, and Cletty's movement was a bit loud for a moment, and if it alarmed anyone, it would be troublesome.

Chryti hugged Thor's arm tightly, and the whole person was still shaking there, and several times Thor was almost shaken and fell from the tree.

When she had laughed enough, she took a bite on the palm of Thor's hand that was covering her, then turned her head and glared at Thor in feigned anger.

"You're the dog, the leper who doesn't count!"

Thor looked at her earnestly, and after a moment he suddenly spoke.

"There was a dog that found a rabbit and went after it. ”

"They chased around a big old tree, chasing and chasing, chasing and chasing. ”

"After chasing the dog for a while, he suddenly noticed that the rabbit was gone, and when he looked up, he found a big hole in the trunk, guess where the rabbit went?" asked Thor.

"The biggest possibility is that the rabbit seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to hide in the hollow of the tree. Chretty tried to analyze.

When she finished speaking, Thor looked at her strangely and said:

"Look, you don't admit it, the dog thinks the same way, you think the same way. ”

Chletty grinned and froze, and then slammed into Thor with a stormy little fist, who was calm and brazen as he enjoyed Chletty's massage technique.

It wasn't until enough of the laughter and acquaintance with each other that Thor mentioned the purpose of his trip.

As for the absurdity and heaviness that happened to him, Saul didn't mention it, and he didn't think that Cleidy could penetrate the truth. Even if you say it, it is useless to add to each other's troubles and worries.

"I may need your help with something. ”

"So, you didn't actually come to see me, did you?" said Cletti with a wry, teasing look.

"Uh, this ......" Thor couldn't answer with his mouth open, after all, he needed help before he thought of others, even if he was as cheeky as Saul, he was still a little embarrassed after all.

"You're not like an ignorant girl waiting for a relationship all day long. Thor held back for a long time, and finally came up with such a sentence.

"Hmph~ I'm angry, no matter what your predicament is, I'm sorry I can't help you. Cletti twisted her head to the side, leaving Thor with the back of his blonde head.

“......”
