Thank you Raligun, Suffocating Radiance to Death, Black Hole Evil God and others for their tips.

Li Bai woke up from a coma and found that he was naked.
When she first found out about this, she did freak out, thinking that something terrible had happened in the process of being unconscious. But soon...... She regained her usual composure.
It was apparently a small, natural hot spring that had been transformed, the sky and its surroundings were shaded by rudimentary cloth tents, and illuminated by polished glowing ore. The material of the cloth tent does not look good, but it is heavy, and you can't feel the cold wind blowing under the layers. Li Bai had never seen the ore, but she guessed that it was one of Flotis's means of lighting in the Dark Ages.
She was currently soaking in a warm spring, almost just below her shoulders, just to hide a pair of proud snowy peaks. Beneath the surface of the water, the rock on which she sat was apparently carefully carved, similar to the structure of a stone chair, with handrails on both sides and a pedal at the lower end, so that even if you fall asleep on it, you will not slip into the water due to loss of strength, which is very thoughtful.
Here, it should be the Jiang Cheng mentioned by Morana before.
Hearing the sound of someone leaving outside the tent, Li Bai did not make a sound to stop or ask, because she knew that someone would soon come to explain this qiΔ to her.
"It's rare...... There is such a pleasure in such a harsh environment. She reached out and picked up some of the spring water, brought it to her nose, and sniffed it carefully.
The temperature of the water is about 40-50Β°C, and there is a faint smell of sulfur that is almost inaudible, and there are no added spices, which is the original taste of the spring water.
"It still has some warming and nourishing effects, so it's no wonder they threw me here to soak it."
Li Bai had actually guessed the general idea of the matter. Under her last arrangement, the group obviously managed to escape. This is Jiang Cheng, it is Morana's territory, and in her eyes on people, the female knight is by no means ungrateful, so she and Lilith were accepted to recuperate here, and she was sent to this rare hot spring for treatment because she had not yet woken up.
"It's just a little bit more concerned." After straightening out her thoughts and carefully checking her physical condition, Li Bai's nerves completely relaxed, and she sank slightly, letting the water level flood her lips, revealing only half of her head in the air.
"My clothes...... Who would have taken it off? β
If in the previous general direction, Morana was a reliable partner who could be trusted, even to the point of delivering her life, then her personality in some details of life was diametrically unreliable.
Think about the scene when I was on horseback, and I was held in Molana's arms and careless...... Li Bai shuddered fiercely.
It's better not to be her.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the person who came had learned that she had awakened through the servant's report, and did not hide it at all.
A hand in gauntlet lifted the cloth tent, revealing Molana's trademark long brown hair, and she waved away the hazy vapor that stood in front of her, and looked down at the hot spring pool in the backyard of her home.
Through the cover of water vapor, she could vaguely see a graceful body lurking in the water, and the snow-colored hair formed a spreading trend on the water surface, like a water lotus in midsummer, like a dream, beautiful.
And the owner of the body was clasping his hands around his chest, glaring at her with a wary gaze.
ββ¦β¦ We all seem to be women. Dryly squeezing out the words, Morana squatted down by the pool, took off her gauntlets and breastplates, and reached out to pluck them in the water.
"On the surface, it looks like that." Seeing her move, Li Bai's face changed, his legs and feet kicked in the water, and he left his previous position far away, "But the sixth sense tells me that your nature is not." β
Isn't this guy also planning to ......?
Morana seemed to have this in mind, and soon her boots and a few pants were removed, and another naked body was submerged in the water.
"Ah~~~" Feeling the baptism of hot water, the female knight let out a long groan as if no one was around, "Sure enough, after being tired, it is most comfortable to soak here." β
ββ¦β¦ Don't you think you should tell me about what happened after that? Li Bai showed a disdainful expression, she felt that this woman's upbringing was really too poor.
Didn't she ever know what a gaffe was?
"What happened? Yes...... Yes, if you don't say it, I'll forget about it. Morana was stunned, then smiled, "Thanks to your deployment, some of us survived, including you and me, and your sister, have returned to Jiangcheng, this is a small hot spring in the backyard of my mansion, and it is because of this that I chose to build my mansion here." β
"Don't worry about your sister's safety, she's resting in her bedroom right now." She continued, "And I'm not going to impose any more coercive measures on you. At that time, it was the best consideration to go back to Jiangcheng first, and when you recuperate, you could go wherever you wanted. Not only that, but I'll give you an extra cavalry team. β
"It's an unusual change of stance." Hearing these good news, Li Bai didn't mean to be happy, "If you save it, you shouldn't be able to attract such Cheng DΓΉ's care." β
"Sue me, you know something now!"
Having been a branded vessel and experienced that duel, it is likely that Morana knew something she shouldn't have known...... Thinking of such a situation, Li Bai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart - she was not interested in letting her story be known by an "outsider", not to mention that this "outsider" had plotted against her before.
"Your Majesty left a message behind when she left me, so I have learned a little bit about you. I really didn't expect that you and His Majesty XiΓ ...... It's going to be that relationship. Looking at the woman in front of her with a somewhat complicated gaze, Morana was stunned by her subconscious nervousness.
She's exactly the same as Her Majesty...... Including the demeanor of Yan sΓΉ up, the demeanor when he is angry, a qiΔ is so similar. That is, the temperament between the eyebrows and eyes is different, and there is a clear difference.
It's so distressing, I can't seem to be able to keep a normal heart with her anymore.
Morana felt a little bitter in her heart, and the goal she was finally interested in was to have a close connection with the supreme ruler she respected the most, beyond imagination, which was ...... Let her do what to do.
"I don't have anything to do with her." Interrupting Molana's contemplation with a cold face, Li Bai said unceremoniously, "She is her, I am me!" If you understand that little information, don't say anything that doesn't mean anything! If there is really one relationship between her and me, there is only one way, and that is mortal enemies!! β
"Good, good...... Sworn enemy, sworn enemy...... Calm down, you've just woken up, and it's not good for your health to be so angry. Holding her hands to her ears, Morana hurriedly soothed the other party.
She doesn't dare to let Li Bai make any mistakes on her own territory now, this is an old friend of Her Majesty, no matter how much she makes a conflict, she is not qualified to mediate, otherwise who knows if the boss will misunderstand that she wants to intervene...... If that's the case, she's finished, that punishing and torturing person is notoriously terrifying inside, and she still has so many girls to take care of, how can she give up the whole forest for a flower.
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, thank you for the arrangement. After venting the anger in his heart, Li Bai turned his face. Through the attitude of the other party who is far from herself, she found that her anger seemed to make no sense, but she couldn't pull down her face to apologize, so she could only compromise and shift the topic to other places.
"......" is such a dishonest guy.
Knowing the details, Li Bai no longer guarded against the female knight as he did at the beginning, since the other party already knew it...... Those things will never have the courage to touch her again. She was sure of that, because-
"The place where you hit it at the beginning still seems to be still hurting, and you really hit it hard." Slowly massaging his lower abdomen with his hands, Li Bai leaned on the water, relaxed, and chatted with the other party about the previous things, "It seems that Nellofa...... She carries a lot of weight in your heart. β
"His majesty is a great person." Speaking of this, Morana restrained her frivolous demeanor and became much stricter, "She has achieved a feat that no one dared to imagine before - the integration of the First Sacred Realm, the repetition of the glory of the ancestors, the new system, the new land, and it seems that even the air is new. You may not be able to imagine that time, for those of us who have not seen light or hope since childhood, her appearance was a miracle. β
"She saved us, she led us, she taught us knowledge, she said goodbye to the folly of the past; She is the one who trains us to take up swords and shields, and gives us the power to fight against an unjust fate. β
"Perhaps in the eyes of others, the actions of the Mithraic Central Empire were aggression and massacre, but ...... I don't think our goal is wrong. β
"But that doesn't excuse you from exterminating the rest of the race." Li Bai's brows furrowed, she didn't quite agree with this point of view, "Having the First Saint Realm should be enough, but you have crossed the line and constantly invaded others...... I can't agree with you. β
"Alas...... I hate this kind of philosophical nonsense the most. Morana put her hands behind her head in boredom, "It doesn't matter if you agree or not, really." Because you can't stop us. β
"I didn't mean to make fun of or mock you." Facing the angry gaze that shot in an instant, the female knight spread her hands, "Rather...... There are so many opposing views in this world that people are obviously unable to unify all their individual views, so there is only one difference, that is, whether they can stop each other. It's very simple, I know that you are no longer extreme, and there are beings who are a thousand times more angry than you, but you are not different in nature, because you both lack strength, you can't fight, you can't stop, so you can only accept the established facts. β
"No, you're not right. The correctness of any point of view should not be measured by strength. Li Bai shook his head slowly, and a trace of sadness crossed the depths of his bright red eyes.
"Power is the hardest and most fragile thing in the world, and such an order will not last long......"
"That's a different perspective." Morana corrected her, "The perspective I am talking about is against you like you, and the perspective you are talking about is us aggressors. This is different, for you the power is almost equal to a qiΔ, but for us it is not the whole - we still have knowledge, we have institutions, and we can bring not only the destruction of miΓ¨, but also the new civilized order. β
"We do not intend to be like ordinary invaders, but we intend to create a great dynasty that has never been seen before. You'll have to figure this out. β
"Huh...... Old order and new ideas. With a sneer, Li Bai suddenly reminded herself that she was too involved in the play, and she was afraid that such a confrontation of concepts was really not something she could stop.
Even if she had the power, she wouldn't.
(What the hell did she do...... Isn't it possible that she is reforming at the level of thought, otherwise how to explain the point of view of the person in front of me? οΌ
(But how is this sign of "civilization" possible...... How could it be on her? οΌ
All along, it was Nelofa's Being, who could only insist that the other party was another evil lifeform, a dark embodiment of a negative emotion. But the incarnation of the brand she saw in the previous duel, she seemed to have an obvious shadow of "flame", plus what she had heard and learned at this moment-
(My enemy, ......?) οΌ
"Alright." Suddenly, there was a sound of rushing water in her ears, and the female knight stood up from the water naked, she didn't care about Li Bai, whose face suddenly turned red, and stretched her waist as if no one was around.
"It's okay to soak for so long, it's not good to pass this kind of thing, it's harmful to the skin."
Climbing ashore, Morana pulled the wide towel on the shelf next to her and wrapped herself, and waved to Li Bai, who was still staying in the water spring: "I'll go up first." β
"You ......" Li Bai opened her mouth, wanting to ask where her clothes were, she had almost enough breathing.
"There's one more towel here, and let the servant at the door of the tent take you directly to the dining room - it's been a long time since you were unconscious and awakened, and I think you're hungry."
A Type I hourglass is converted to 13 ticks at 2 ticks, which means that she has not eaten for more than 24 hours.
"Wait!" In the end, Li Bai still stopped Molana before she went out.
After calculating the time, she began to feel hungry as the other party said, and she didn't plan to stay here any longer, but it was clear that she couldn't be as free as the other party.
With a slightly red face, Li Bai asked, "What do you mean...... When I come out, I just go to eat with a bath towel around? β
"What does it matter?" Morana wondered, "The servants in this mansion are all drawn from the dark side of the moon by me, and there is not a single man, even if you don't have clothes. β
"What's wrong? Your face doesn't look very good, could it be that you've soaked for too long and can't ......"
"Not everyone, just like you." Interrupting the shameless speech in his own opinion, Li Bai glared at the other party: "Go and prepare clothes for me!" β
β¦β¦
Led by several girls in moon-white armor, Li Bai, who finally put on new clothes, walked in the corridor with a black face.
She still wears the coarse cloth cloak she bought in Sunshine, but the outfit inside the cloak is very different.
A coarse cloth shirt with a white background, a brown leather jacket with long sleeves and a hem that only reaches a little below the chest, and a matching brown leather short skirt + belt, these are all quite normal.
But...... The pair of black silk stockings that were pulled up to her thighs under the skirt were weird, because they were obviously not something that should have been on TFlotis.
"Molana!" The door to the restaurant was kicked open, and the gust of wind nearly blew out all the candles in the hall.
Li Bai stepped in front of Morana, who was sitting on the main seat, step by step, and said "Bang!" with both hands. He slapped it on the long table.
"Say...... Why do you have this kind of thing here? β
"What?" Glancing at her up and down inexplicably, Molana couldn't understand what kind of fire Li Baifa was, and she felt that the other party seemed to be too fickle.
Well, compared to her own personality, she does change her face too often.
"This ...... I'm talking about this! Pulling off the cloak in some embarrassment, Li Bai pointed to his legs, "Don't tell me that this kind of thing can be made by Flotis?" β
"Oh......!!" Molana's eyes straightened instantly.
As a continuation of the traces of the former glorious princess, Li Bai's body is almost perfect, and her legs are naturally the same, two slender and straight legs wrapped in black silk stockings to fully interpret the most primitive temptation, especially when she is now wearing a pair of high-heeled legging sandals made of plant stems on her feet, through the translucent wrapping of the stockings, you can also see her cute toes stirring uneasily in the sandals...... This seemingly discordant combination has instead created an alternative attraction, which makes the female knight uncontrollable and can't help but dry her mouth.
"Ah...... Gods, why did you guide me to such a being, but she was destined not to belong to me! Under Li Bai's inexplicable gaze, Molana turned around and half-knelt on the ground, raised her arms towards the ceiling, and muttered words in her mouth.
"I see! This must be a test of my loyalty! That's why she's exactly like my monarch! β
"What the hell are you doing...... another door opened across from her, and Lilith rubbed the corners of her eyes as she walked into the dining room.
Finally escaped from the danger of her life, she went to the room arranged by Morana to rest as soon as she came back, and at this moment it was just when she woke up, and came to the restaurant according to the instructions of several silver-armored girls, but she didn't want to see such a drama, she was a little unclear, what happened.
"Nothing, lovely Miss Lilith." Morana immediately stepped forward and took the red-haired girl's hand behind the back of her hand and kissed it deeply.
Compared with Li Bai's ability to see and eat, it seems that it is a wise choice to shift the target to the red ponytail girl here. In the process of escaping for their lives, Morana and Lilith have eased their relationship a lot because of the experience of sharing hardships, and they no longer have to be tense when they meet as they did at the beginning...... Therefore, Morana immediately changed her attitude and showed her graceful demeanor, trying to "take her relationship with Lilith further".
After the kiss, she slowly raised her head, trying to fill her eyes with love: "I have made my heart clear, now, let's go together......"
"Smack!"
Slapping a plate of noodles in the female knight's face, Lilith took a few steps back in a panic, her red face in shock.
"Who's who...... Who gave you the guts to kiss me...... It's mine......!!! β
This girl, who usually shows people with a cold face, is panicked like a frightened rabbit at the moment.
This, this, this...... This is the first time someone has touched their body with their lips!
"Well deserved." Giving such an evaluation with an expressionless face, Li Bai sighed, sat down in Molana's seat, supported his cheek with his left hand, and waited for this farce to pass.
Feeling the suddenly eerie atmosphere in the restaurant, she suddenly felt that it was shit luck that she could escape from that desert alive.
Isn't it...... Although she inserted a safe zone in the Devil's Trap area before she fell unconscious, the card's Katu did not say "flee to that position and let the battleship protect herself", but walked through the battleship's barrage as an enemy to that location to achieve the goal of making the battleship unable to attack her. So she actually didn't know if this trick had any effect, and even with the crystal nucleus, it was unknown whether they would be able to escape the destruction of the monster's effect.
Plus these two unreliable guys......
After about half an hour, the dining room was cleaned up, the knight returned to the table with a new set of clothes, and the three of them began to eat officially.
"What! You say this silk ...... She invented this thing? The previous question was finally explained, but the answer made Li Bailei's exterior scorched and his heart tender.
"yes." After taking a bite of the fish, Morana confirmed that her statement was correct, "His Majesty has invented a lot of strange clothes, and since His Majesty himself loves to wear them, these clothes have become the darling of Mithra's high society. The sock you wear on your feet certainly can't be from Flotis, it's just one of my inventory. You know, here, its value could easily buy the whole city, yes, it's this ginger city. β
"I'm not interested in understanding its value." Li Bai's face looked rather gloomy.
Obviously separated by such a distance, they have obviously forced away the incarnation of the other party, but they are still subject to the influence of the Nello Law in all aspects, even the choice of clothing is ......
In this sense, she was unhappy - and rightfully so.
"But I have to admit it, you look good in it...... Also, after all, Majesty xiΓ ...... Mithra's fashion vane is exactly the same as yours, as if you saw His Majesty himself wearing it. As she spoke, Morana looked at Li Bai with admiration, "But it's strange, I always feel like you're missing something......"
"She's right, isn't it pretty good." Lilith looked at Li Bai who was sitting opposite with a smile, and from time to time tilted her head to look under the dining table, and was glared at by Li Bai a few times, but she didn't know how to restrain at all.
"In the past, my predecessors only wore white occasionally, but more often they simply took autumn pants or long pants to make do, and asked me to ...... It is very tyrannical to have such good capital but not use it. β
Ignoring Lilith's taunts, Li Bai's mood at the moment was very complicated.
It's not a general complex.
She could probably imagine that Nalofa was a psychopath, and she concocted these bizarre costumes more than just to relieve the boredom of the boring ruling life. Nine times out of ten, it is to look in the mirror to mean that the face and body are very similar to oneself.
It's okay now...... After all, it's just black silk stockings.
But could there be anything else that is more festive!?
β¦β¦ It's a numb feeling as if something important has been lost, and I want to cry but can't.
"I finally remembered something was wrong." The female knight had been eating absentmindedly before, and at this moment she suddenly looked like she had a sudden realization.
"You forgot that!" She ignored Li Bai's murderous gaze and shouted, "That's it, what's it called...... That one, worn around the waist to hang socksβ"
"Smack!"
This time it's a half-eaten fish.
