Gray, who was writing something on the hotel counter, wrote five or six lines awkwardly and constantly changing, and after scanning the altered "devastation" work from beginning to end, he couldn't stand it, and tore off the page and threw it behind him, pressing his left hand in front of his eyes, trying to find a state of full devotion, but he couldn't. During this period of time, he seems to have returned to the days before he came to this world, and he has been dominated by inexplicable anxiety and restlessness all day long, wasting his time......

At this time, there was a "bang" sound coming down the stairs overhead, and Gray could hear that it was Claire's footsteps, so he hurriedly picked up his pen and began to write something on the paper that he didn't understand what he was writing, pretending not to pay attention to Claire. He didn't understand why he did this, he had been avoiding Claire consciously or unconsciously lately, and the greetings that he couldn't avoid were all embarrassing and perfunctory......

"How's the rest of your story going? It's been a few days since I've been stuck in the 'Third Strike on the Bone Demon'. ”

Smelling the indescribable scent of flowers, and the voice of Claire who was lying on the opposite side of the counter asked, Gray pretended to be busy and didn't even have time to lift his head, and casually said, "It's just that I've been lazy lately...... But before she could finish speaking, Claire suddenly held down his manuscript and dragged it back a little, "You should go out for a walk, you haven't been out for a few days, right?" ”

"I ......" Gray looked up and just wanted to say a few words, but saw that Claire was dressed in a "formal suit", which was actually a brightly colored dress with a neckline and a ruffled chest. Gray couldn't help but blurt out curiously, "What are you ......?"

"Today, the monks from the church in the next town came to our town to preach......" Seeing that Gray had been staring directly at him, Claire seemed to be a little shy and combed the wavy curls at the back of her head, "You will also listen to it?" As soon as she said that, Claire felt that this proposal was a bit inappropriate, after all, Gray was not human......

"I'm not going." Gray refused without thinking about it, although there was an element of disinterest in religion, but the bigger reason was that Calvin would definitely accompany Claire for a while, and he would follow him......

"Let's go check it out." After Claire's thoughts turned around, she immediately realized that she had just thought like the rest of the town, and at this time, as if she wanted to remedy something, she grabbed Gray's arm with one hand and persuaded her, "Just come out and relax, after all, you can't write a good story in the house." ”

……

"I'm finally seeing you again."

At this time, at the entrance of the town, Mayor Mande greeted the visitor, Hawkinson, a monk from the Church in Hammeltown, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I thought you had forgotten about our remote town. ”

"How so." The monk, who was not too young, replied with a familiar quote from the "scriptures": "The splendor of God is everywhere." ”

"Good. That's great. The mayor nodded sympathetically, and inadvertently glanced at the nuns who came with the monks, his eyes swept over the familiar faces, and suddenly noticed a strange existence, although she deliberately lowered her head, but still could not hide the tall figure, making it stand out from the crowd. And the way the headscarf is worn is too eye-catching, hiding half of the face in the shadow as if wearing a hood.

"Brother Hawkinson." The mayor stared at the somewhat suspicious nun, as if curious, and asked the monk, "Is this your newcomer?" ”

"Uh, oh~ you said Sister Lucila." The monk stretched out his hand a little unnaturally and introduced, "She has just practiced in the Holy Capital, and even I sigh that I am not as good as ...... in understanding many of the 'classics'" Although he was still uneasy about deceiving Mayor Mande, he did not lie in a certain way...... In addition, she can't help it, this "big sword" lady is holding a "letter of introduction" with the wording of the big man in the holy capital......

"The monk is too rewarding." The wide nun dress could not hide the undulating curves of Lucila's body, especially in a group of shriveled old nuns, after a modest sentence, she raised her head to look at Mayor Mande, folded her hands in front of her, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Mayor Mande." ”

"......" Mande's eyes were stunned and then popped out the moment he saw her face clearly, not because he was surprised by Lucyla's unearthly beauty, but because he recognized Lucilla......

Seeing Mande's reaction, Lucilla smiled firmly, the mayor of the town still remembered herself. This is one of the reasons why she is so confident about this "secret investigation". A few months ago, when she passed by this town, she had taken action to deal with the two demons hiding in the crowd, but because it was a convenient task outside of the mission, so in her mind, even if the residents here were not grateful to her, they should at least have a "friendly" attitude and cooperate with her to secretly investigate.

'Next...... Lucira looked up at the town behind the mayor, the purpose of her "investigation", in addition to the ability of the Awakened, what she wanted to know more was what this guy wanted to do?

Because this male awakened person named "Gray" has been here for so long, this town still seems to be peaceful, and if it were an ordinary awakened person, this place would have long been a "dead domain...... And you must know that the awakened are all "eating" in a straightforward and open-fire manner, and they don't disdain to sneak and "lurk crimes" like "demons...... In short, it behaves differently......

…

Gray finally came out, mainly because he was not good at saying "no" to other people's requests, and he was afraid that he would make too much noise with Clea's "pulling", so he agreed with the mentality of stopping all this quickly.

But now looking at Calvin and Claire, who were holding hands in front of him, Gray, who was in pain from flashing, felt uncomfortable, and was sullen all the way thinking about finding a plausible excuse to go back. But before I knew it, I had already followed to the center of the town, and immediately noticed the most conspicuous crowd here.

…

Different from the tacit sense of tacit understanding that Lucilla thought, Mayor Mande, after a brief period of surprise, seemed to be a different person in an instant, like an "old driver" who was delicate and sociable in all directions, to a silent and serious "elder", drooping his head and looking preoccupied, as if he was being coerced to lead the way in front. This undoubtedly unnerved Lucilla.

The group finally arrived at the center of the town under Mande's deliberate rubbing, Mande looked ahead as if he suddenly felt something, and Lucila, who was already alert, couldn't help but observe the front, but it was a very normal group portrait of the town, but she soon noticed the abnormality, although the residents in the center of the town tried to pretend to be normal, but they were secretly paying attention to something.

Lucilla didn't have much trouble getting back to the source: an ordinary young couple, who seemed nothing special except for the woman's iconic countenance, but the problem was with the man behind them—a handsome young man who was noticeably taller than the average townsman here......

Although she was unable to perceive the demonic energy normally because of the "secret medicine", and no one introduced her to her, Lucila's intuition was unusually sure - this was "Gray".

At this time, Mayor Mande, who led the way, suddenly moved, and it is difficult to describe the scene of a "well-fated old man" sprinting. Lucila, who only felt that her heart was sinking more and more, watched the mayor run to the black-haired youth, and while looking at her side with a nervous face, she whispered something tremblingly, although she couldn't hear what the mayor said, she could still see from the shape of her mouth, the mayor was saying, "She is a big sword!" ”

Suddenly, a whirling feeling of dizziness hit, and Lucila finally stabilized her figure, but the grievances and incomprehension that came to her heart made her almost ask out loud: Why?!

Of course, if Lucilla really asked, Mande would not be a little weak-hearted, and even asked more fiercely: Who made the town of Plansville fall into the current "difficult to ride a tiger" dilemma?!

He had already thought it through when he first led the way, and he had to inform Gray of this "Great Sword agent" no matter what. Because the next development is nothing more than two situations: either Gray dies, or the sword dies. If Gray is dead, the town owes the Hades of the "organization", and they have to go up another level, and then when the big sword pats his ass and leaves, they just wait for the "accident" to come. And if the big sword died, if Gray knew afterwards that they didn't report it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to spare them......

Gray nodded slightly expressionlessly, reached out and patted the mayor on the shoulder, and strode towards Lucila, while the townspeople around him, who had been quietly paying attention to the situation, hurriedly and consciously gave way to a passage, directly emptying Lucilla and the monk.

The strong wind generated by the demonic energy dispatch in the awakened person's body blew all the way to Lucila, lifting her low-pulled turban for a few bits, revealing some of the bright blonde hair hidden underneath.

"Monk Hawkinson ......" Lucilla, although she had not yet recovered from the shock of being "betrayed", still cheered up, weakly reminded the monk beside her to stay away from her, and at the same time moved her steps to retrieve the big sword hidden in the carriage next to her.

"Don't move." Gray opened his mouth in warning.

"......" Lucilla immediately stopped moving, just because the monks and nuns beside her, with their slow movements, they would definitely not be able to dodge a casual attack from the awakened.

"It's none of their business." Lucira stalled for time, thinking about the next battle, how to lure it to a place with fewer people, but fortunately she was one of the few warriors whose "combat power" was not limited by the great sword.

"I'm not going to do anything to them. It's ...... you."

Gray glanced around at the crowd, raised his fist-clenched hand, and pointed to the southwest with his thumb, "We need to find a place with fewer people to talk to." ”
