Following.

At dusk.

The lord Barazh, together with his wife, walked his dog in his own city. Under the light of the sea of clouds, the bustling city can be seen at a glance. The well-equipped guards greeted the lord respectfully.

The only fly in the ointment was that the city wall collapsed the day before yesterday - Balari remembers very well that when he was a child, a group of strong mountain people from afar built this wall. Later, they built their own village on the side of a nearby hill, and later, I heard that they had fought with a group of northern warriors and died completely.

Those people are good, and he has to find someone to repair this wall himself. Yesterday his dog bit a wall worker, delaying the progress of the wall by an hour. Today, he had to avoid the collapsed place.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Baraj noticed a group of people entering the city. A loyal guard was checking on them.

A merchant and his guards, a few grizzled villagers...... It doesn't look special. Only two young and intimidating northern warriors, a man and a woman, caught the eye in the guard, especially the pretty girl. But it has to be said that Baraj prefers fuller women.

It was only when Baraj noticed the last nun in the line that his expression became gloomy.

……

"It's also a city...... Well, by their standards, it's pretty much the same. The girl pinched her waist and muttered.

Everyone went all the way south, and finally came here before the light of the sea of clouds faded.

In fact, in the eyes of the girl and Dimi, this is just a bigger town...... The house is sparsely populated, and there is not even a decent shop to be found as far as the eye can see. Compared with the previous village, in addition to being several times larger, that is, there are more patrolling guards.

It's a pity that the guards can't even dress uniformly. The weapons in their hands are not bad, but the "styles" are varied: knives, swords, spears, axes, halberds, and some even hold shields; Their clothes and armor were even different, except for a reddish-brown cloak to show their identity. Some people's ill-fitting armor was clearly snatched from someone else.

The men entered the city with their swords, and a guard in chain mail came up to investigate—the nun simply took a little bit of silver out of her bosom and gave him it, and sent him away.

Not far away, a corner of the fence had collapsed, and three or five workers in tattered clothes were repairing it.

According to the plan, the group would stop in the small city and then continue south the next day, spending another day and night to reach a port. There the maiden and Dimi can find a boat to go to Zwick Island.

To paraphrase the former pirate minion, with the strength that the girl and Dimi are showing now, let alone make them pay out of their own pockets, every captain should be willing to pay for such a warrior as a guard......

"Please rest." The nun smiled and led the girl and Dimi to an inn, the only one in the town.

"What about you?" Joe asked.

"I'll go back to church for the night." The nun said kindly.

--------------

Night.

Lord's longhouse.

The longhouse is the most majestic building in the town, with long corridors flanked by bedrooms and dining rooms, a hall for lords and distinguished guests at the end, and an underground treasure room that is forbidden to all idlers.

It was already completely dark. Flames burned in the brazier of the hall. Instead of sleeping with his wife as usual, Balaj listened to the news from the mysterious guest with the captain of his own bodyguard.

Just as the foreign countries of Zwick have always wanted to control the lands of Zwick, the High Lord of Barazh – one of the most powerful lords of Zwick – has long coveted the rich island of Zwick. The "Spider Lord" is the best at using spies to achieve his own ends, and it is unavoidable that he always uses spies beyond the imagination of his opponents.

Which lord would have thought that a diligent nun was actually the eyeliner of this "snail island spider"?

"Lord Balazhi," the nun stated calmly, "as I said before, I have gained the trust of those two heavenly men, and now they are defenseless. I hope you will fulfill your obligation to bring these two ...... Capture it in front of the great lord and let him fall. ”

According to the previous arrangement, the nun would first study before the king, then spend a long time in the countryside of Snail Island to prove her loyalty, and finally return to Zwick Island to take up a prominent position in the court of a nobleman. And now, for the sake of these two sudden cloud people, she deserves to be exposed in advance.

"You should direct them to ......," Balazh, who was sitting in the wide seat, hesitated.

The nuns and the maidens went south to find the boat, and they did not have to pass through the city of Mazdur. If the nun deliberately pointed the wrong way, Joe and the others would surely find out. And wait for the free ports in the south...... Even if the Great Lord Mazdur came in person, it would be very troublesome to arrest people.

"This is the last chance." Sister said.

Balazhi's heart tossed and turned.

Balazh was loyal to Mazdur, but because his father and grandfather did, and he himself did not have any affection for the cunning Mazdul. He has neither a good impression nor a hatred for the mysterious heavenly man. If he could, he would rather have let the two of them go as if it hadn't happened at all.

If you want to catch someone, you have to go to war. How many soldiers did Balazhi have under his command? How many are going to die, so ......

"I heard that all the people in the heavens can make the demon law ......," Balari began to talk about it.

"The heavenly people are free to use magic only in their heavenly homeland, and their leader has made great efforts to allow his people to do the same thing in the royal palace of the Zwicks," the nun took Balazh's prevarication seriously, "and here we are just powerful ordinary people. This is what my heavenly teacher said when he was drunk, and it is absolutely true. ”

"Hmm......" Barazhi had a headache.

Barazh did not dare to refuse the nun seriously. She is the secret envoy of the "spider", and once she turns her head and tells the "spider" the truth, Barazhi has to face the wrath of the "spider". As for killing the nun to hide the facts...... Balaj is not going to do that. Moreover, he was not confident that he could hide the truth.

"My lord," the captain of the guard in the iron helmet couldn't help but say, "even if it's a powerful celestial, it's just two children after all. As long as you give the order, you can gather at least fifty people. I don't believe I can't catch them......"

"But the casualties ......," Balari hesitated.

"We can raid! They can't sleep with weapons in their hands! The captain of the guard said excitedly, as a northern warrior loyal to the lord of Luodao, his adventurous spirit that had been silent for almost ten years burned again, "If it can't be done, we will set fire to the house and force them to come out of the ......."

"No, no," shouted Barazh, leaping to his feet, burning his own things, which he absolutely disagreed, "We're going to raid the guy!" ”

"So you agreed?" The nun said calmly.

"Uh......"

With a dejected expression, Barazh fell back into his seat. He resigned himself to his fate.

If a few soldiers die, a few will die...... He comforted himself. Perhaps, things aren't that bad......

------------

There were not many rooms in the inn at all, and Joe and the others lived in the stables. Because of this, Dimi got the opportunity to live in the same room with the girl again.

When he went to bed last night, Dimi's heart was fluctuating, and he didn't have much crankiness. But today, his mood has calmed down a bit......

Looking at the girl who came back from the bath, her cheeks were red, and there were still a few drops of water on her hair, Dimi suddenly felt a little hot in her heart.

For the past two days, the girl has been living with her, and has not shown any opposition or displeasure.

That is to say......

Victoria ...... She didn't care......

Perhaps, she was just waiting for herself to speak first?

Dimi took a deep breath. He clenched his fists. A strong urge swelled through his mind. Now—

"Hey, what is this?" Suddenly, the girl pointed to something on the windowsill and said.

“……”

Dimi's breath was all held back......

It was a cloth bag that shimmered with a blue glow, and a note full of handwriting was pressed underneath. The girl reached out and picked it up.

Then, she showed a look of surprise.
