When Paddy heard Lulunaka's words, he thought of the mages he had dealt with. "Are you a mage or a devil?"

"I told you, I'm not a mage. Of course, I'm not the devil either. Lulunaka replied, "I'm an alchemist, which means I'm a craftsman. And a self-employed craftsman like me can be considered half a merchant, right? Because all my goods are sold through my hands, there are no unions, no bosses, all the income goes into my purse, and of course, all the losses are borne by myself. ”

Speaking of which, Lulunaka glanced at Pattin, then continued, "I don't expect you to immediately dispel the false impression of me, all the people who are still alive here, some of them think of me as a witch, some of them think of me as a mage, and probably some of them think of me as a devil...... No one sees me as a serious alchemist anyway. I'm used to it, it's better than being treated like an innocent girl who can be easily killed. ”

Paddy, of course, could understand what Lulunaka meant. She was a little upset now because no one wanted to take her word for it, but it didn't make her feel bad enough to go on a killing spree—even though she had already done it—and then she ended her sentence by emphasizing the folly of the church knights doing something to her.

Paddy didn't think this was a sign of Lulunaka's arrogance, especially since she killed eleven Black Iron Knights with just one dog, and then forced two Silver Knights to tie her hands. She's just talking about a fact, not even boasting about her own strength.

"We weren't very lucky, and I stopped it too late. Patin said.

Lulunaka smiled at Pattin, "It's not your fault, Mr. Edgar. No matter how much they respect you, you're an outsider after all - I can tell they'll obey your orders, but they won't listen to you when it's time to judge for themselves. For example, because of pity, I can't bear to do such a thing to an innocent girl again...... Perhaps someone had already explained it to them in private?" Lulunaka pointed her staff at Leo to the side, "Ask this knight gentleman, and you may be able to hear a lot of secrets that will make you feel uncomfortable." For example, a secret instruction, a task that you don't know about...... It's all possible, right?"

Leo gasped and reluctantly spoke, "She's separating us...... Edgar Knight, don't listen to her ......"

Pattin's brow furrowed, and finally gave Lulunaka an answer, "I don't want to hear about that, if it's your kindness, then I get it." ”

There was no need to ask Leo for a reason, and Patin knew that he was actually a pawn that could give up, just like Gris and his mercenaries. However, Griss is a worthless chip that can be thrown away at any time, and he Patin-Edgar is more valuable, at least a silver chip. As long as he is not a too stupid person, as long as it is not a critical moment, he will not throw him out for gold coins.

"Oh, forget it. Lulunaka's answer was also very dry, "Since you're not interested, then I won't say more." Let's get back to business, Mr. Edgar. ”

While Lulunaka and Paddy are talking, Julius returns to Olga. He wiped his mouth with his rough sleeve, just in time to hear Lulunaka talking about Pattin's lack of true trust from the Church Knights. "What is that witch doing? Is she showing off to losers? Some of the bastards in the village who are a few years older than me like to do that too, and after bullying people, they show off what they did as if they had killed a few wyverns themselves - but they just threw a few stones at me. ”

Olga could tell that Julius's life in the village was not very pleasant. "She's not showing off. Olga replied, "After making sure that the other party could not pose any threat to herself, she wanted to use her words to crush Patin and the other knight of the Church. ”

Olga knew what Lulunaka was doing, but he didn't understand why Lulunaka was doing it. It's not that she's fulfilling her own victorious rights, it looks more like tossing Patin and Leo as a pastime. In other words, Paddy and Leo became her toy-like existence.

It was only Olga's conjecture, but it had already made Olga's cold hair stand on end. He had such an unusual and dangerous person spend the night with Romeona, and they became "friends" with each other. God knows if she did something to Romeoona secretly.

"Witches use rhetoric to trick all humans they can see. Julius recounted the stories and rumors she had heard from the village elders, "Then she is still a witch, not an alchemist, as she is called." Julius still insisted on his own story, as if no one could shake him.

"Mages deceive people, and merchants deceive people. "It's not just witches who deceive. ”

"So, sir, what do you think she is, is she really an alchemist?"

Olga did not answer. It didn't matter who Lulunaka was, the only thing he cared about now was what she would do next. She may be more capricious than a dragon, or she may be better at lying than a mage. At the very least, Olga hoped that what she said about "not hurting Romeona" was not a whim, but a definite promise.

As Olga watched closely, Lulunaka and Padding's conversation continued.

"Where did we just go?" said Lulunaka, shaking her cane, the cross swinging, "We talked about the identity of this knight gentleman. When he was in crisis, you gave up the chance to kill Miss Romeona and rushed to save him, standing in the way of Screaming Lady when he exploded...... Considering that he had several precious magical items on him, his identity suddenly became not so ordinary. ”

Lulunaka raised her cane so that the iron cross fell in front of her eyes, and reached out to tap it, "This iron cross, full of the power of faith, is a good way to protect one's spirit from being seduced by the whispers of evil creatures...... But it didn't seem to have any effect on the screams—I had to make a note of this—why would a low-ranking Church knight who had come out to do dirty work, such a thing? Not only an iron cross, but also a magic ring of decent workmanship. So I've been wondering what kind of identity this Mr. Knight has that you can save from it. ”

Patin didn't speak.

Lulunaka wasn't upset by Pattin's silence, and Pattin's attitude wasn't too surprising. "Well, you don't really like this topic either. Nor am I interested in the astonishing status of this knight-sir, whether he is the concubine of a great nobleman, or the illegitimate son of a bishop, or the descendant of a mage...... It doesn't matter. What matters now is, how much are you willing to pay to save him? Mr. Edgar. ”
