The heavy rain that had been going on all day finally stopped before the moon rose. The smell of fresh grass filled the air. Let everyone who has been closed by heavy rain for a day of action feel relaxed.

Of course, there are some exceptions. Like Lydia in the Wind Pavilion.

The news of the Baron's death had just reached the city, and his strange relatives immediately popped up from out of nowhere. While cloaking in the close call, the Wind Pavilion was blocked! Among them, there were even illegitimate children with witnesses, tokens, and temple certificates!

Lydia really wants to slash through with a sword and drive all these guys to the end of the horizon!

Unfortunately, she couldn't.

She is the second daughter. Although it is a direct bloodline, the inheritance is actually under the illegitimate child. That is to say, as long as the identity of the illegitimate child is proven, she will take nothing with her but a pitiful dowry. If she is weaker, then even her own marriage will be manipulated by others.

In fact, the land and dwellings belonging to Baron Stormwind have been occupied by strangers who are actually related to her. The only place she could rest for a while was the Wind Pavilion that Lord Balguf had given her father to live in Snowman. But this was not Baron Storm's estate, and she had to move out after another baron was canonized.

Lydia sighed softly, no longer thinking about these things.

She was originally raised as her sister's bodyguard. If such an accident had not happened, she would have served as her eldest sister's chief of guard when she became an adult. Until her father or eldest sister arranges a marriage for her, she will be at her side as the sword and shield of the next Storm Baron. That's how her fate should have been.

Lydia was happy to accept such a fate.

But now everything has changed. How could a girl who knew only a sword and a shield argue with those sophisticated old foxes?

But there is always a lingering depression in the girl's heart.

At this moment, a strong fragrance wafted from the direction of the kitchen.

It seems that the soup has been stewed, and the flavor of the chicken broth and bison meat is just right. Soon it will be ready to cook.

Three full days had passed since Alice woke up. During this period, except for the people from the comrades-in-arms who came to visit her once. Only Ledia would make some meals for her every day.

I have to admit that Lydia's craftsmanship is still good. Although Alice didn't say it explicitly, Lydia could see the color of anticipation in her eyes every time in the past few days.

It made her feel happy. And work harder to cook more delicious food.

Soon, Ladia assembled the food box and opened the door to the Wind Pavilion.

From the Wind Pavilion to the Temple of Gina Lace, you need to walk through the entire market area. Along the way, Ladia carefully avoided the muddy water on the stone pavement, and kept a considerable distance from the ragged homeless men.

These guys are as disgusting as maggots in bread. Able-bodied, but unwilling to work hard, is of no use except to add turmoil to the city.

Lydia gave them a disdainful look and quickened her pace.

The security of Xueman is getting worse and worse now. Not so long ago, there was even a group of men in strange robes who stormed the Mustang Banner Inn in the twilight and snatched one of the attendants! By the time the Town Watch reacted, they were gone.

These Redguards call themselves the Akville warriors, and they use strange swords that are curved! Lydia couldn't understand why anyone would forge a sword in a curved style, and should they also work as scythes!?

It's puzzling.

Lydia lowered her eyes and stopped thinking about the obvious impossibility of making sense - it was hateful for someone of unknown origin to openly rob the inhabitants of Snowman, but it was relative to Snowman's superstructure. Even if you want to file a case, investigate, and arrest the murderer, it is also a matter for the captain of the Xueman garrison. It wasn't her turn to worry about it.

Before she knew it, the noisy market area had been left behind her, and under the twilight reflection, the edge of the temple of Gina Lace also exuded a pale golden brilliance, beautiful and sacred.

It was as if I had just seen two people coming out of the temple. One of them seems to be a bit impressed.

Lydia tilted her head slightly, and a memory flashed by.

Oh~ It turned out to be the man named Anche, who must have come to visit Miss Alice as well.

Without much thought, she raised her hand and pushed open the side door of the temple.

………………

As if he were returning home, Anche closed the door casually.

"What did he say? ”

Sitting on his bed was a beautiful young woman. But it can only be concluded that it is 'beautiful'. Her race, ancestry, and even her face were filled with an uncertain ambiguity. It is impossible to form a solid impression in the mind.

In other words, no matter how many times they meet her, most people will treat her as a stranger.

Of course, Parrot was an elite assassin who had been adopted by the Brotherhood since infancy and trained in various secret techniques. Their ability and faithfulness are enough to guarantee it. In particular, the various illusion methods are used in a magical way, and even if the Brotherhood has its own secret method identification, it is not very difficult for her to fool the past - of course, she will not do that.

She is an assistant sent to Ancee by the Brotherhood's superiors. Not long ago, Anche had used his authority to give her access to the recuperation room of the lord's eldest son at the temple of Ginalais—there was evidence that the young boy with grumpy disease knew some of the secrets of the snowman. In order not to let the Dragon Palace and the Brotherhood fall into a state of complete hostility, an expert who is proficient in illusion is necessary.

The parrot shook his head lightly and said casually: "It's nothing, it's nothing more than which servant stole how much Septin~ Which guard knocked Skuma, and where the lord plans to build a statue or something." Nothing special. ”

Anche's lips pursed.

From the parrot's tone, he knew that the parrot must have gained some important information. But for some inexplicable reason, deliberately not to say.

Maybe it's teasing him?

"Parrot, this kind of thing is not trivial, we must do our best to ......"

"I'm hungry. ”

Anche's facial muscles twitched, and he patiently continued, "If something upsets you, we can ......"

"I'm hungry. ”

Anche took a soft breath, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

There was an inexplicable chuckle from behind.

So Anche's face was almost as black as his hair.

This hateful woman! He's been in trouble since the first day he's joined the Brotherhood! I've been partnering with her every time I've been on a mission!

As a result, the task was completed cleanly every time, but unfortunately not in the way Anche expected.

It's a sad history.

After a while, Anche came over with the box and served it on the table!

'Bah!' The bread and sausages in the box jumped slightly. That's a week's worth of food.

"You're just going to eat these things?" the parrot looked disapprovingly at the sturdy food, and carefully twisted a sausage with the tips of his thumb and middle finger, the heavy texture coming from his fingertips indicating its astonishing density.

"You don't know how to take care of yourself. The parrot only took a gentle bite and set the strip aside.

She felt a little sour in her teeth.

"I'm not here for a vacation!?" Anche said angrily. "Fill your stomach quickly, and we'll get back to business quickly!"

"That's not going to work. The parrot shook her finger gently. Immediately afterward, Anche felt her vision blur for a while.

By the time he came to his senses, the sky outside the window had darkened a little.

Anche was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up in anger and shouted at the parrot, "You actually used illusion on me! Are you crazy!?"

The parrot didn't respond to his anger, just pointed his finger at the table, "Don't you eat?"

An alluring scent followed. At some point, the table was filled with steaming dishes, bright and glossy, and they were very delicious at first sight.

Looks like that's what Parrot just did. Anche noticed some subtle wrinkles in the cuffs and hem of the parrot's body, and it seemed that she had put a lot of effort into it.

I don't know if the parrot has cast some strange illusion again, and Anche feels that her stomach is suddenly a little hungry. He weighed it again and again, and finally decided to fill his stomach first.

More than ten minutes later......

Anche looked at the parrot with a stern expression, "Now you should tell me what I know." He had reason to believe that if the parrot continued to fool him in the future, then he would probably be violating one of the precepts of the Brotherhood.

It wasn't a big deal, he didn't have much reverence for the Brotherhood in the first place.

"In the deepest part of the Dragon Palace, the lowest place. There was a closed room with the oldest wooden door. It was from the wooden door that the child heard a lot of snow and secrets. ”

Anche's eyes froze slightly: "The door that can talk, or is there something behind the door?"

"Who knows? The parrot tilted its head slightly.

"Good. Anche quickly packed up the necessary gear, "I'm going to get it figured out." ”

He didn't want to stay here for a minute.

"It's night, people are coming day and night, and you don't know how to be considerate?" the parrot blinked, and the fingers behind his back unconsciously drew small circles.

Anche opened the door and said without looking back, "Then you can sleep well!"

'Woo !!!!'

Looking at the closed wooden door, the parrot sighed softly.

She then fell backwards, lying on her back on Anche's bed with no grace.

"Cut ~ a man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings. ”
