"Na~ Solini. Have you ever had a cat?"

"You're talking about the stupid little thing that eats sulfur as cat food?"

"It's really not cooperative at all. The corners of Delafi's eyes twitched, and he forcibly brought the topic back in the right direction: "Cats always become lazy and stupid because of their owner's pampering. So, if you want it to be less fat, you have to tease it from time to time. ”

"Oh?"

"It's like poking her with a stick or something. ”

But it doesn't seem to cure the disease of eating sulfur as a cat. ”

“……”

"I don't have anything to say to you. ”

………………

There is no doubt that Martha is now the cat being teased.

You can't go over the walls, or you'll be killed.

Civilians must not be seen casting spells, or they will be killed.

You can't use a wide range of ruining spells, or you'll be killed.

There was a temptation, but only once.

That's what Drafi, who landed in front of an immobile Martha, when her magic guide was knocked down.

And Martha also used one-third of her body to verify the execution ability of the High Elf Witch. Although the healing spells and alchemy potions are able to deal with these wounds very well. But pain is inevitable. She had enough pain and didn't want to try again.

Drafi taught her a good lesson in how foolish it was to use a chanting superior spell against a higher-level spellcaster—Martha hadn't been able to construct a complete spell model with the High Elves interrupting!

And Martha didn't think she could put the broken bones and limbs back together a second time.

In that case, what should be done?

Martha came up with a great idea.

"You guys, take the torch and go to all corners and set fires. "Martha gave an order to her puppets.

These men were originally Loristed's guards, and it was within Martha's power to control their will.

"Drafi, though I don't know what you're thinking. But if I burn this town to the ground, my purpose will be revealed. She said in an ill-fitting coat.

Martha wasn't worried about the book she had snatched from Drafay, she had placed it on a swordsman of decent strength and marked it with a stealth mark. Presumably, a fire can't kill her.

All Martha has to do is kill all the people who put out the fire.

So Martha watched with smugness, watching the puppets she manipulated gradually move away.

And then, a long night passed............

Nothing happened.

Maybe Drafi needs to replace her little cat-teasing stick with a fork?

………………

The bodies of the guards were found in the early morning by patrolling guards. Deaths varied, some with a crossbow bolt stuck in their heads, some sliced into several pieces, and others unharmed on the outside, but their heads had become a mess of mush. This caused quite a stir among the guards. But it was soon suppressed silently.

Those who shouldn't be seeing are blind. Those who shouldn't have heard are also deaf. Damned people can't live either. Someone else has taken his place.

The biggest result of this incident, which could have led to martial law in the whole city and hundreds of people being imprisoned, was nothing more than a dream interrupted by the noise for a few residents who lived closer to the place where the corpses were dumped.

Of course, whatever happened last night, whether it was a farce or a tragedy. It has nothing to do with Alice now.

In other words, it doesn't matter for the time being.

When she woke up from her sleep, she was still greeted by a vibrant and vibrant Loristed.

The female scholar named Bourtina was lucky, and although she had lost some of her blood, she was extremely lucky compared to her fellow inmates who had lost their minds. After being rescued, she also thanked Alice again and again. Along with the few remaining sober people, they kept bowing to Alice.

Alice could feel that this gratitude was genuine. And take pleasure in it.

But after only five minutes, the extremely discontinuous compliments of the people who spoke made her feel uncomfortable. After hastily handing over the task of resettling the refugees to Lydia, who had rushed over, they quickly vanished.

[These are the things that the guards should do, and I should deal with some more important matters.] That's what Alice thought at the time. She believed that Lydia had the ability and the interest to do the job well.

Then, for most of the next day. Alice was alone at the top of the watchtower on the outer wall of Loristed for an afternoon of wind blowing. Watch as the sun moves from overhead all the way below the horizon. I didn't return to my hotel until nightfall.

Looks like she's just making a fuss.

[The next trip is to the north, through the cold rock tunnel and go straight to Mosar. 】

[In the illusion, Sonya's 'west to north' can probably lead to three routes.] 】

[First, go west to Loristed, north to Mosar. 】

[Second, go west to Longqiao and north to Dugu City. 】

[Third, go west to the falling hammer and north to Goam Province.] 】

[This place made me feel very uncomfortable, but nothing strange happened that could affect me. Except for the strange roar heard on the Great Plains, all of them were as plain as boiled water. 】

Her two fingers tapped the fence on the window, aimlessly scanning the traffic on the street. The bustling market is as lively as ever, and the whole town is full of life.

It seems that the damage caused by Minimenil to Snowman City did not have much of an impact here.

Also, the inhabitants of these towns can't fly and can't see far. Most of them never left the town from birth until they died. Why should they care about a legendary creature popping up hundreds of miles away?

In addition, after Xueman was attacked by the dragon, the demand for food and livestock in the main city will also increase.

[It's just a little strange why the lord didn't give an order to forcibly expropriate the grain, grass and livestock here?, and I haven't seen the military governor or civil magistrate of this town.] 】

Alice shook her head, no longer thinking about these things that had nothing to do with her.

This town gave her a very uncomfortable feeling. Extraordinary...... Under the weather.

[Can't stay here for too long.] Let's leave this morning. Lydia must have taken care of all the food reserves. 】

Alice glanced behind her. Neatly stacked bags and bags filled the small half of the house. There shouldn't have been so many of them, but the refugees she rescued thanked her for bringing a lot of game and vegetables that day.

Even with the help of the kid named Bray, Lydia was busy until midnight sorting them into categories and saving them - she thought they were the refugees' intentions and couldn't be thrown away. So Alice went to her.

To do this, they had to hire a carriage. Naturally, this matter also fell on Lydia's shoulders.

[Speaking of Lydia, it's time for me and her to settle their accounts.] Even if she had a reasonable reason, it would not be okay not to teach her a lesson. Maybe I should go buy a whip?]

At this moment, the door of the room opened with a 'squeak~'. Ladia walked away with a plate, and the rich smell of food reached the tip of Alice's nose - she suddenly felt a little hungry.

"Miss Alice~ I borrowed the kitchen of the hotel to make you a breakfast, I hope it will satisfy your appetite~" Lydia, who was wearing an apron, put the plate on the table and greeted Alice with a happy face.

Very generous breakfast. The colors of the meat and vegetables are well matched, and the soup is rich and has an enticing aroma. That should be some of those giveaways from yesterday.

"I'm sorry for you. Alice nodded to her, walked to the table, and sat down.

[The taste is a little weird......]

Alice frowned slightly. This change in expression was immediately captured by Lydia, who was watching her closely. She hurriedly said, "What's wrong?

Alice just wanted to say 'yes'. But she hesitated when she saw Lydia's anxious face.

Her face was dusty, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, apparently smoked by firewood. Not only that, but she also had shallow dark circles on her eyelids. The bright gray eyes also became dull.

Alice suddenly remembered something.

Because of her orders, this guy in front of her ran around all afternoon while she sat leisurely at the top of the watchtower blowing the wind. And spent the whole night meticulously packing up the travel bags until late at night.

In order not to affect her sleep, she also deliberately blew out the candles. Toiling only by moonlight. And she went down early before she woke up and prepared such a hearty breakfast.

She was only a year older than me, and a pampered aristocratic lady until half a month ago. 】

[She's done well enough.] 】

So Alice shook her head softly and said softly, "No, you did a good job. I'm satisfied. ”

She lowered her head and continued to fight with her breakfast.

[The previous thing, just forget it. Who doesn't have a wayward time?]

Alice suddenly thought of something, so she turned and said to Ladia, "Go wash your face, and then get ready for the carriage." We set off in a quarter of an hour. ”

“……”

She didn't get a response from Lydia.

Alice turned around in confusion, only to find that Lydia's eyes were dodgy and she didn't dare to make eye contact with her.

"What's wrong?

"Uh......" Lydia squeezed out a forced smile and said weakly, "Brother Bray invited us to his house today. ”

"Just push it off. ”

"I promised you ......"

[I guess I should go buy a whip.] The kind with the!】
