Midsummer night, cool breeze.

Owen sat on a rock jutting out of the hill, looking out at the dark mountain landscape in the distance, as if thinking about something.

At this time, a white-clothed figure came behind him.

"Bahru has woken up. ”

"Very well, I guess it's about time for him to wake up. ”

Hearing Owen say this in such a serious tone, Sophia couldn't help but feel a little funny. She came to Owen's side, sat down beside him, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Before the duel, I told you to be gentle. ”

"I'm light enough, you've seen it the whole time. Owen replied with some innocence.

The so-called "duel" of that day ended in less than a second. As the challenger, Bahrul couldn't even see whether Owen was punching or kicking until he lost consciousness, and the only one who could see Owen in the room was Sophia, who clearly saw that Owen had ended the farce with only one finger.

"You put a big living person in a coma for three days and three nights. If it's not heavy-handed, then what's heavy-handed?" from Owen's point of view, using only one finger was indeed not too heavy, but in Sophia's opinion, it was not like that.

"Huh, are you here to ask my master for sin? Otherwise, I'll let you punch too, and it's okay. ”

"You're less poor. Those young Zhuang officers all said that they would let you be their instructor. ”

"Instructor, please, miss. That 'personal guard' from before has already caused a lot of trouble, how many more hats are you going to put on me?"

"If you say yes, that's it. Don't say no!" Sophia stretched out her finger and pointed at Owen as she said this.

Looking at Sophia, who has always been serious and serious, actually speaking in such a little girl's playful tone and expression, Owen couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

He smiled like this, even if he wanted to refuse, it was too late. Sophia laughed heartily when she saw Owen's smile.

She was really very happy, because Owen was no longer as restrained and resistant as he used to be when he came back this time. In the past, Owen, because he was worried that a drop of demon blood in his body would cause a disaster at some point, deliberately avoided the dense crowd, even if he was with his partners who were born and died, he would keep a distance;

Suddenly, Owen put away his smile. He reverted to his old coldness.

"What are you worried about?" Sophia asked, taking Owen's arm around him, concerned.

"I'm thinking about the other guys. Owen looked up at the starry night sky, "When I came back this time, I smelled a strange smell. ”

"What does it smell like?" said Sophia.

"I don't know. Owen shook his head and leaned back, lying on the bare rock.

"I just received a letter from Dani a few days ago, she said that she and her teacher William had moved out of the Papal Dominion and found a remote place to recuperate, she did not specify the specific location, but judging from her handwriting, Dani should still be living quite peacefully. As for Amilia, you can see that she is busy all day long trying to help me and the camp. Cassius hid in a cave and practiced day and night, and although I sometimes worried that he couldn't bear it, I knew that he wouldn't have a big problem when I saw that the meals he was delivered every day were eaten. Sophia crossed her fingers and counted her friends one by one, "The most worrying thing right now is Julian and Ray, I don't know ...... them"

"No, the two of them are the least to worry about, and we don't have much to do to help. Owen immediately denied it.

"And who are you talking about?" puzzled Sophia.

"The people who should be most worried may not be thousands of miles away, but close at hand. Owen crossed his arms behind his head.

"No, does he still need to worry?!" the last name on the list came to Sophia's mind, and she couldn't help but laugh.

If the world were to hold a "least worry-free" contest and Joyka would take second place, I'm afraid no one would be able to take first place. After being together for so long, Sophia knows Joika's style and abilities. Perhaps among the friends, Joyka is not the most powerful, but he is the one who can survive in desperate situations. Although he usually looks raunchy and unresponsible, he is a tough guy who can survive no matter what hardships and desperate situations he endures, and he is very reliable. If she really had to worry about one of her partners, Sophia would have excluded Joyka in the first place......

However, when she turned her head and saw Owen's deep expression, Sophia knew that what she thought was the least likely to happen might have happened.

"It's been three days since I've been here, and I haven't seen Joyka. Owen spoke of a fact that had been overlooked.

"Could it be that something really happened to Joyka?" Sophia thought back, beginning to realize the gravity of the situation.

Although Joyka often runs outside the camp to mess around, she can't see anyone for a few days, and it is the norm to miss meetings, but Owen has returned to her friends from thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for Joyka not to know this kind of thing, with the friendship between partners, Joyka has not appeared for three days and three nights, which is really strange.

"I don't know. Hopefully my worries are unwarranted. Owen said.

"Owen, tell me, did you use the 'Destiny Card' to divinate something?" Sophia knew that Owen's worries about Joyka were not groundless.

Looking up at the stars in the sky and pondering for a moment, Owen directly said the meaning of the bottom of the card:

"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. ”

Shangri-La City. "Niche of the River" tavern.

Although it was closing time, there was a drunken man in the tavern who collapsed on the bar. The owner of the tavern and the bartenders did not dare to kick the man out, did not even dare to say a word of gentle kind reminders, and tried to be as light as possible when cleaning up the dishes, tables and chairs, for fear of disturbing the "terrible" guest.

In just one month, he smashed all the casinos in the city, and beat more than 100 people from the Thieves' Guild who were in charge of watching the scene.

Is there really no one who dares to provoke him? Not necessarily.

A slender blonde beauty in a white dress and a white dress pushed open the rickety wooden door of the wine and rice, walked in, twisted her curvaceous waist, came to the bar, and sat down on a chair next to the drunken man.

At this moment, a familiar body temperature quickly spread through the tavern filled with all kinds of bad smells, and the first to bear the brunt was the drunk sitting next to her. His nose moved, and he slightly propped up his heavy eyelids, as if the body fragrance of the beautiful woman had some kind of sober effect on him.

Ignoring the bartender's eyes that urged her to leave, the beautiful woman gently opened her lips and said in a tone that was so crisp that it was so soft that it was bone-weak, "Can you please bring me a glass of 'Santa Maria's Tears'?"

As soon as these words came out, the first reaction was not the tired bartender after a tiring day, but the drunk man who had been holding on to the bar, and he staggered to raise the head of the drunken Kaoru.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but the last glass of wine that the drunk ordered before he was defeated by alcohol was "Santa Maria's Tears".

Generally speaking, the clergy of the Cult of Light are forbidden to drink, but not absolutely. For example, the "Tears of St. Maria", which is said to be able to communicate with the first Radiant Saints after drinking, was very popular among nuns and priestesses. However, for Joyka's drinking, a low-intensity light wine like "Santa Maria's Tears" would not be enough to get drunk even if he drank all the stock of the entire tavern, but as the saying goes, "if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk", probably nothing more than that.

"Miss, have we met before?"

Joyka sensed that the beautiful woman sitting next to her looked familiar, and he made the gesture that any disciple who went to the tavern to look for a play would make......
