This kind young lady, please give me some more grace, and I will definitely pay back the money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The father and daughter, who were scared and crying at first, immediately became active when they saw that the person in charge was actually a little girl.

Loria was a little annoyed, thinking that she looked so unmajestic, and she was so angry that she peeled another candy and ate it.

"They've rolled it over three times...... Counting the principal and interest, a total of twenty-five gold coins were owed. The man in charge whispered to Loria and handed over a loan contract.

Twenty-five gold coins are no more or less, but they can also make ordinary people desperate.

"The principal is twenty gold coins, the monthly interest rate is five percent, and the compound interest is not counted......" Loria looked at the contract, this is not too harsh conditions, she glanced at the father and daughter who were still pleading, one is in her early forties, the other is sixteen or seventeen years old, it is good that the daughter is not a child, recently Kenrito has been very strict with the management of public security, although the law does not prohibit it, but when it comes to children, it will become troublesome.

"At least pay back the principal first, and the interest can give you a discount for another month." Loria handed the contract back and glared at the person in charge, she couldn't afford to attract the attention of the castle for such a small matter, the key was the large amount of money that had been lent to the nobles who had gone north.

She had already said that she would try not to lend money to ordinary citizens who were prone to breaking contracts, but these guys who were eager to generate income always did stupid things to grasp small and magnify.

Obviously, they have been taught to have ideals, to have pursuits, to become bigger and stronger, and they have usury in their hands, but they can't forget the dream of one day releasing a bank.

Thinking about it, she glared at the steward again, who shrank his head in fear, and since he could take the position of manager, of course he knew that Loria was not as dangerous as she appeared to be.

The nobleman who came from Riptide Castle and sent someone to assassinate Little Pink is still nailed to a tree outside the city.

"But...... But......" The debtor interrupted Loria's attention and finally saved the steward from fear, "I spent all my money......"

"No money?" Loria frowned and became impatient, "Then use your body to pay it back." ”

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter sobbed as if she saw the sad future she was destined to come.

"You'll do a little magic when you look at the information." Loria didn't look at the girl at all, but said to her father, "Recently, there has been a circus shuttling between the villages in the south, and business seems to be very good, go and perform a fireball or something, think about your daughter, work hard, don't borrow money and spend it indiscriminately." ”

Of course, she can also use the ritual to deprive the bankrupt of his magic to pay off the debt, but Loria, who had made up for it once before, could no longer look down on this kind of magic that could not even reach the level of an apprentice, so she made up her mind and got up to leave.

It's almost time for part-time work.

"Miss, go slowly!"

A vicious-looking salesman bowed and saw him off, and then took the debtor's father to a circus outside the city.

"Really, why do you have to work the night shift?" Nini Roko's voice came from behind her, and she had been following Loria early in the morning, "My cruel and cute little Loria...... Well, the handover is complete, and I'm going to comfort the poor girl who lost her father. ”

The division of labor between the five councillors is clear, divided into two according to day and night, one stays in the secret room to mobilize the power of the council, one patrols outside, humans and elves are responsible for the day, the dead and vampires are responsible for the night, and the extra Tomman is on call for support throughout the day.

Most of the time, though, we don't need his support.

They all have a unique way to connect with each other.

Loria rolled her eyes, and when she made sure that Niniroko was gone, she went to a small shop in Minato to have a light dinner slowly, and carefully avoided the magicians belonging to the Kenrito Council, picking a few people to patrol the road.

From her appearance, it would be strange to wander alone at night, and it would be troublesome to get pestered by the sheriff...... The fewer people who know who she is, the better, and there has been no shortage of councillors in the past who have been targeted by demons after their identities have been widely known.

Hiding in a dark corner, she pulled out a palm-sized prop and examined it, the work of Crenway and Merry, who were particularly adept at tracking demons and teleportation spells, and who had attached them magic to detect demons and detect spatial anomalies.

Nothing.

Loria put away her props and began to move again, the threat of demons is always there, but it doesn't pop up every night, and she has only encountered less than ten incidents in the more than half a year since she became a councilor, and they are all demons that can be eliminated alone.

Her magical skills have become more and more profound, and the magic she has taken from the Duke of the Void has gradually been adapted to her body, and thanks to the vast amount of dark magic, her dark spells have become more and more handy...... Now that she is no longer a magician who Merry can easily deal with standing still.

Following the route she had long acknowledged, she came to the door of a tavern, where the night had completely shrouded the sky of Dalaran, but it was still as lively as day, and the yawning bartender behind the counter nodded at her slightly, and she pretended to stop and fix her hair, and disappeared into the darkness again.

Of course, it is not possible for the Council to monitor the entire city with just one patrolling councillor, and her daily task is to shuttle between the twenty hidden outposts scattered throughout Dalaran at night to deal with any dangerous situations that may occur.

At midnight, she walked around the Dongcheng District, where it was difficult to see pedestrians on the street, a middle-aged woman dressed in tatters, huddled on the side of the street, whispering.

"It's so cold tonight......"

As she passed by, Loria heard a secret word indicating that everything was normal.

Can't you put it another way?

Loria kept walking and walked on.

When the hour hand of her pocket watch pointed to three o'clock, she came to the last area of her patrol, and there were no reports of anomalies from the various outposts.

The owl sculpture in the oak tree on the corner still stands, and she can still see the clumsy feathers on the back of the wood carving...... Not all outposts are monitored by creatures, and there are magic items like this wooden carving.

Her job was done, and it was another uneventful night.

Loria turned to leave, but she stopped, vaguely remembering the recurring intentions of the previous night...... In retrospect, a bit like this owl wood carving?

She approached the statue, which looked fine, and went around to the front of the statue to inspect it.

At dawn, the owl sculpture's dumb face was gone, leaving only the scorch marks of the black hole. (To be continued.) )
