By the end, Belinda's voice was even choked.

"Okay! I didn't expect the effect of the previous few acts to be so good, is it because the mental suggestion is applied too deeply?"

Lei Lin looked at the other party with tears in his eyes, looking speechless.

However, what he needs now is to keep a low profile, it is impossible to get into trouble with the other party, and the beauty of these two sisters may cause a source of chaos no matter where they are.

How could Leylin, who knew this, put himself in danger?

"Being a mercenary? Can you afford the rent and prices of the Holy City? In particular, the Steward family is not something you can get rid of if you say you can get rid of it, what can you do in the face of the other party who extends its tentacles to all aspects of the Holy City?"

Lei Lin can only play the most realistic role, coldly hitting the other party.

"Nick, you've changed, you used to be, you weren't like this!"

The cold words made Belinda a little sluggish, and she looked at Lei Lin with a silly feeling.

"It's not a change! It's just accepting reality! Let's go!" Lei Lin waved his hand as if helplessly, and coughed violently.

"Mmmmmmmm

Belinda stepped forward and directly pushed away Lei Lin's palm, and finally saw the blood that Lei Lin coughed up.

"How can the breath of life in your body become so weak, and there are still such symptoms? What about your strength?

Now that the vitality is constantly passing, although the appearance is still the same as before, the vitality of life on his body is already passing, compared to before, it is like the difference between a torch and a candle.

"Old wounds from previous adventures. It's okay!"

For this, Leylin did not hide it. I can't hide it.

This is also the reason why he tried his best to avoid conflict, after all, while his strength was declining. How can it be described by a stupid word to provoke powerful forces without repentance.

"I see! You're scared! you're afraid to drag me and Sophia down!"

It's just that I didn't expect this state of Leylin, but it made Belinda seem to think of something.

"Are you afraid of being a drag? It's okay, I'll be able to cure you!"

Belinda glanced deeply at Leylin, and her figure disappeared directly into the moonlight.

Lei Lin stood a little speechless: "Actually, I think about it? Although it's not like this at all......

However, if the other party thinks about it like this, it doesn't seem to be harmful to him, Lei Lin thought about it, and he has no intention of revealing it.

"Now...... Or rather. After the appearance of today's Gluttonous King, I am afraid that the pattern of the entire Holy City will change greatly......"

After Belinda left, Leylin picked up the shower again and carefully tended to the shoots in the flower garden, the expression on his face was calm and serene, as if he was not moved by the outside world at all.

In fact, it was exactly like this, and the next day, with the battered Egnes returned. An even more terrifying news has been delivered - near the Holy City, wild beasts polluted by the power of gluttony have appeared!

Even though the Mother of Ten Thousand Serpents had discovered and started purification, with Berutsebabu's troubles, the other party's plan was obviously unsuccessful.

But. The previous purification still had some effect, at least, Agnes had picked up a small life. It's just that the injuries on the other party's body are very serious, and even many snake guards are afraid.

And according to Agnes's intelligence. A group of giant snakes polluted by the power of gluttony have broken through to the location of the Holy City. Several nearby half-snake settlements have suffered great losses.

Even the members of the team who were with her were all killed, and even the corpses were devoured by the greedy beasts.

After all, compared to those ordinary foods, the flesh and blood of high-energy snakes contain more energy, especially the higher the level of snake people, the easier it is to become the target of those gluttonous beasts!

The term Gluttony!, coined by Agnes, was soon adopted to distinguish it from other serpent species.

No matter what kind of creature, once it is polluted by the power of gluttony and enters a state of horror of hunger, it can be called a gluttonous beast.

In terms of the Holy City, as well as the Steward family, they all attached great importance to this information, not only immediately reorganized the garrison, but also mobilized a large number of reserves, declared martial law in the Holy City, and even issued high-value missions for mercenaries and adventurers, targeting those gluttonous beasts that invaded the Holy City.

All of a sudden, the entire Ten Thousand Snakes Plain seemed to be in turmoil, and even the scope of this chaos was constantly spreading to the Hale Continent.

What the ordinary residents of the Ten Thousand Snakes Holy City didn't know was that this situation would continue for a long, long time, and in a very short period of time, the Gluttonous Beast would replace all the previous natural and man-made disasters and become the primary enemy of their survival.

......

Time flies, and more than a year has passed before I know it.

"Brother Nick, Sophia has come to see you!"

Similar to Belinda's appearance, but the younger Sophia pushed the door in directly, she was wearing a hunter's suit, she looked very heroic, and she had a youthful vitality, which made Lei Lin a little envious.

"You're here, Sophia!" said Leylin greeted with a smile and shook his head secretly.

Although he has a tacit understanding with Belinda, Sophia obviously doesn't know so much, and it is impossible for either Leylin or Belinda to tell her so many things, because with Sophia's IQ, it is impossible to keep it a secret.

Therefore, although Belinda rarely comes to Leylin, Sophia still remembers this brother Nick and comes over from time to time.

"Brother Nick, aren't you well?" Sophia leaned closer to Leylin, a look of obvious concern in her eyes.

At this time, Lei Lin could already see that he was terminally ill, although there was not much change in appearance, but the wrinkles faintly emerging on his forehead and the back of his hands, as well as the continuous dissipation of life fluctuations on his body, all told about the weakness of this body.

"Ahem...... It's okay!cough......" Lei Lin took out a white handkerchief and covered his lips, and his previously straight back was even a little hunched.

"It's all like this, why do you still say it's okay?The [Fountain of Life] that Sister Belinda brought me last time, are you still using it?"

"Yes!" Leylin laughed, and quickly picked up the shower.

A milky white spring with a rich aroma sank into the soil.

The young shoots in the flower beds have now become a small tree, and the verdant leaves are more vibrant after receiving irrigation.

"Oh, how did this little tree grow so big?"

Sophia was a little surprised: "It's just...... Brother Nick, why did you pour all the medicine on the little tree, is it sick too?"

"No, actually, it needs these ...... more than I do."

Leylin's eyes were deep, but instead of explaining, he picked up a small hoe and slowly loosened the soil and weeded it, like a diligent gardener.

Sophia seemed to be very familiar with Leylin's performance, and sat directly next to him and began to talk to herself:

"The recent gluttony disaster has become even more serious!I heard Sister Egnes say that many garrisons have suffered heavy losses, so that the battle line once reached the edge of the Crescent Lake, and it is not far from the Holy City, and there are many giant snakes that have been polluted, even the sixth-level giant snake family is not spared, and at this time, the Ten Thousand Snakes Plain has almost been occupied by the gluttonous beasts......"

"In the entire Ten Thousand Snakes Plain, there is not much place for us to stand, and recently even many residents of the Holy City have begun to flee, which bothers Sister Agnes......

"And Sister Belinda, she has been taking on tasks recently, it is said that she wants to exchange for the highest grade [Holy Light Crystal], and she even did not hesitate to take on a very dangerous mission for this, and she will leave tomorrow......"

"Oh!" Leylin's hand paused slightly, and then resumed his activity.

Belinda's recent situation, he knows a little, the other party seems to have been receiving the Holy City mission, and through the wartime exploits to exchange for life-rich items, secretly sent to him.

Although, these things are almost useless to him, otherwise, with Lei Lin's means, there is no need to lie dormant here all the time.

"[Holy Light Crystal]?" Lei Lin shook his head, this life crystal is rich in a large amount of life force, and it has a good purification and suppression effect on all kinds of curses, it can be called the top material of the Hale Continent, even if Belinda is a fourth-level powerhouse, it will not be easy to get it.

What's more, this material has no effect on his current state, but it may have a good effect on the seed of wisdom.

"Bang bang!"

And at this time, the rough voice sounded again.

"Alas......" Leylin sighed and came to the door, "Please! gentlemen!"

Seeing a large group of guards rudely rushing in, Sophia stuck out her tongue: "There are so many people! Sophia doesn't like them! Goodbye! Brother Nick!"

The girl was about to take her leave, and then the guards did too, which fully showed that they were not here to check at all, but to remind and warn.

Lei Lin could only smile bitterly.

Although in the past year, through the name of the Steward family and Thomas, he has indeed saved a lot of trouble, but Sophia is a huge flaw.

Leylin could already feel that as Sophia came to him more and more, that Thomas had become impatient.

"Alas...... How did Belinda discipline her sister?"

Lei Lin rubbed his brow helplessly.

He had a very bad feeling, and after discovering Sophia's hazy affection for him, Thomas, who had failed several attempts, had a good relationship with him before, which was gradually gone.

And his status in Thomas's mind may have been upgraded from 'a tool that can be used' to a 'rival in love' or 'rival' or something like that. (To be continued......)
