When Claire comes out of the kitchen with a hot breakfast, she finds the restaurant on the first floor empty. After casually placing the tray on a table, Claire was about to go upstairs to take a look, when the bell rang at the door, and she turned her head to see Gray walking in with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Gray, you ......"

Claire had just started to get stuck, as she saw a beautiful purple-haired girl who had come in with Gray, and this woman was clearly not from the town.

"This is ......" As soon as the words came out, Claire realized that she was talking too much. Because of the various signs on the purple-haired girl's body, she already noticed that something was wrong, for example: she didn't look like a businessman, she didn't carry any luggage, she only wore a thin dress, not to mention, and it didn't fit well......

"She's ......"

In the face of the inquiry of the master of his host house, Gray always felt that he could not give a reasonable explanation, and was thinking about how to make it up, but Lacrena had already walked out from behind him and said generously: "I am his friend." Then, as if she were the master of the place, she walked around Gray and headed inside. But just as he passed by Claire, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

"You smell so good."

Lacrena leaned into Clea's face, sniffing with her eyes closed in a look of fascination, her nose and lips almost touching her face.

The women of the town occasionally made such jokes, but Claire had already blushed and pushed away, and laughed and complimented her back. But the woman in front of her ...... Thinking of the true meaning of her words, Claire's face instantly turned pale with fright, feeling the wetness brought by her breath, Claire couldn't help but close her eyes in fear, but she didn't dare to resist, she subconsciously raised her head to dodge, more like a cooperation of wanting to welcome and refuse, letting Lacrena's lips slide down her cheeks to her neck...... It wasn't until a sudden oncoming wind brought an end to this.

Claire secretly opened her eyes, and then saw that Gray was pressing the woman's shoulder, and at the same time staring at her, until the woman made a helpless shrug and let go of her arm, Gray turned her head to look at herself, and said with a forced smile, "Claire, aren't you still in trouble today?" Hurry up and do it. ”

Cleya, whose face looked like she had just had a serious illness, walked to the door with her head down, and when she passed by Gray, she felt a small wave of air coming from nowhere, and kept ruffling the ends of her hair......

"Ding—"

The bell brought by the closing of the door rang, and Lacrena watched the bangs floating in front of her forehead finally hang down, and laughed again, "Senior, you are so interesting......" Lacrena smiled and pulled out a chair and sat on the side, one leg was casually placed on the other leg, and the "vacuum" field below could be seen as long as there was a heart.

"Peace of mind, although her scent is indeed very attractive, it will not make me lose my temper in front of my seniors...... But it's a shame that you've been able to endure it until now, isn't it because you feel like you've eaten some tyrannical things so easily......"

"Smack!"

'Who would do that!' ’

Gray, who was standing at the counter pouring water for her, crushed the cup in his hand, then said nothing, shook the pieces in his hand with a stiff face, found another cup, and continued to pour water.

This movement made Lacrena stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of "I understand, I understand", "It turns out that seniors still like to keep pets." ”

'Don't compare me to you monsters!!' ’

Gray almost held back these words, so he didn't blurt out, but he still couldn't control his hand, and put the water glass heavily in front of Lacrena, pulled the chair opposite him and sat down: "Continue what you just said." ”

The key words such as "South" and "Alliance" in Lacrena's words before, he thought all the way to the present, and he almost figured it out: the Abyss of the South may not have appeared now, so the South in a power vacuum has become the ideal destination for those awakened who are unwilling to succumb to the Abyss, and it seems that they are still ......

"We" is different from the model of the North and the West."

Lacrena held her cheek in one hand and looked at the water that had just been splashed from the cup on the table: "There is no essential difference between us, although the strength is different, but after all, it is not the overwhelming difference. Therefore, everyone is relatively equal, saying that it is an alliance, but it is actually a platform to help each other, there is no alliance leader, let alone any superiority and inferiority......"

Lacrena observed Gray, who was listening intently, and played with the water stains on the table with her white fingers, "But even so, we have some basic principles, such as the first one: we will only absorb the elite, and will never accept waste. As for whether it is an elite or a waste......"

"Can you take out a raid on your own?" Gray looked away and said angrily.

"That's right." Lacrena smiled even more, leaned forward slightly, stretched out her arm as if to touch Gray's face, "Through observation, the senior is qualified to join us, and the senior's ability to disrupt demonic energy detection is also useful to us. ”

"......" Gray didn't reply, just leaned back away from her outstretched hand.

"Seniors don't need to answer so quickly." Lacrena withdrew her hand as if with some regret and stood up against the table, "Think about it. There is always something that can't be solved, just take the predecessor's yesterday as an example, it's very difficult to deal with two single digits, right? If it weren't for the life-saving hole cards, the result would be very suspenseful. Not to mention encountering a more powerful NO.1, each NO.1 is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this year's "Tianyu" is a leader even in the ranks of NO.1......"

Lacrena said, walking around behind Gray, trying to wrap her arms around his neck, but Gray got up vigilantly to avoid him.

"If they can team up against us, why can't we deal with them together? You help me once, I help you once, we don't owe each other, it's fair and reasonable. ”

Lacrena was also a little unbearable for Gray's repeated incomprehension, "Anyway, that's all for now." When you think about it, senior, just keep going south. Lacrena turned to the door, raising a hand and waving goodbye.

"I'll get you out of town." Gray seemed to suddenly become hospitable, and hurried out with her. In fact, he didn't feel comfortable with the Awakened, especially after she had done something to Claire.

The two of them didn't talk until they reached the entrance of the town, when Lacreena suddenly turned to Gray and said, "Senior, it's better not to "raise" pets or something, I've "raised" before, and as a result—" Lacrena pouted, "It's really not interesting." ”

'Just get out of here!' Dead monsters! ’

Listening to her repeated comparisons of Claire to her pet, Gray was not having a good seizure, but just turned his head to look away, as if he hadn't heard. As Lacrena disappeared from sight, Gray still stood here with a gloomy face, looking back at the town behind him, calm and peaceful, like a paradise like an oil painting.

But it's too fragile...... It is no exaggeration to say that any Awakened can easily destroy it...... Now that this town is known to the other Awakened, it is very likely that as soon as they leave on their front feet, this place will be ...... the next moment But if you continue to stay here, what will you do in the face of the next crusade of either killing or being killed?

Take refuge in this "League of the Awakened"? No kidding! Gray thought of what Lacreena had just said. If you do that, you'll be a monster. Don't die with them!

"I'm not a monster! No one can force me to be a monster! ”

Gray's teeth creaked, and with a sharp stomp of his foot, he stepped out of a cracked pit in the masonry floor, and with this reaction he ran in a southwesterly direction, and in a few jumps he came to the five small mounds with great swords inserted in each of them, and opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and finally he dug up the mound he had built yesterday like crazy.

They shouldn't just die in vain, so meaningless, and they can't just bury them and know nothing about them......

"Lend me your power! And I will...... If you knew, you would have agreed with me! ”

The hand that was digging the soil stopped when it touched something softer than the soil.

"You are not perishing, but you are with me, living and dying with me."

…………

A town that fell into infinite suspicion and panic, after the longest week of its life, finally ushered in a key game-breaker - Dajian.

The townspeople looked at the "silver-eyed witch" expectantly and with fear. Her blonde hair was cut casually with a sharp blade at first glance, and she had childlike ultra-short hair, and she didn't care much about it, except for a few strands of hair near her cheeks, the rest were casually curled. Her skin was not as fair as the legend suggests, but rather a somewhat whitish brown skin, and her eyebrows were halfway up, making her eyebrows look like a gentle "lightning" symbol that crossed over.

As for the iconic silver pupils, it's not hearsay: cold without a hint of human emotion, her eyes look hollow, giving people a sense of absent-mindedness.

The warrior, who didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly raised his hand without warning and stabbed two fingers directly into the man's eye sockets as he approached a villager who was whispering to a friend.

"Quack—"

In the screams of pain that resounded over the town, she randomly dodged the demon who covered her eyes and scratched everywhere, and the villagers who fled or collapsed and vomited, she pinched the sphere that had turned into golden pupils, raised it to the sun, and carefully observed it with her silver pupils, and then shook it a few times like a child facing a novelty, and the sphere that her fingers pinched slightly slowly deformed......

"Is there really any liquid in here?"
