"Do you like this look?" asked Cannet, tentatively, patting the horse's head. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

โ€œ...... โ†’_โ†’......" Al ignored him as if he had been asked a stupid question.

"You're really different. Shaking his head, Canette lay down and sighed, "It's just that Dire horses can get along with people, and you still want to be human...... Being a person is not as easy as you think, all kinds of are piled up. โ€

"โ•ญ(โ•ฏ^โ•ฐ)โ•ฎ......" Al glanced listlessly at the witcher, then said nothing.

"Don't be discouraged. Canette hurriedly tried to comfort her: "What do you say...... There's always a chance that you'll be able to take on human form. Just have a good mage to help. But mages are hard to find, and they have to be quite strong. โ€

"......" Al seemed to suddenly come to his senses when he heard this. So she pondered for a moment, then propped herself up and shouted in the direction of the window.

Why? She seems to want me to hear something...... Pricking up his ears, the witcher began to listen carefully to the movement outside the window: the people outside the window were still talking excitedly about the mage Aiya who had come to the city.

They said she seemed to be in a slime-owned tavern right now. If you have the money to pay for the commission, you might be able to go over and ask her to help with the enchantment.

"....../(tot)/~~......" Al stepped on the horse's hooves and let out a chirp of anticipation.

"Hey, you're not ...... mistaken," Canette was speechless for a moment, and had to reply hesitantly, "Iโ€”where did I get the money to do such a thing? And I haven't heard of any monsters that can choose their own appearance after turning into a human form. โ€

โ€œ...... โ•ญ(โ•ฏ^โ•ฐ)โ•ฎ......" Al still seemed to be puffing up, but he just turned his head away and didn't say anything more. She's getting angry right now, and she doesn't seem to want to deal with anyone at all.

"I say, do you need to be angry......" Canette shook her head, speechless, "Forget it, don't think too much-"

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Cannet's speech. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Al: "Uh...... What, you're going to open the door?"

"......" despite Dire's disregard for him, slowly stood up and walked to the door. After a while, the sound of it opening the door with its mouth and the startled screams of its comers were heard.

"Oh, it's you again......" Glancing hastily at the visitor, Canette looked helpless: it was still the two paladins who came. It's just that this time they seem to have brought a priest with them.

"We've heard you're short of money to pay your fine, Mr. Carnett. The Shadow Knight motioned for the priest to sit down in front of the bed, and his tone was extremely soft: "And you are still sick, it is definitely not convenient to make money in this situation." โ€

"Thank you so much for reminding me again. Just call me Cannett without adding an honorific. Muttering in exasperation, Canette coughed violently, struggling to reach for the bedside table and take down the kettle, "What?

"It's not. We just wanted to send a pastor to see you. Shaking his head, the Shadow Knight's face was calm: "In addition, our church has specially decided to repay you the compensation of three Eurasian gold coins. โ€

"What?" Canette opened her mouth in shock, almost choking on the water she drank, "Uh...... Why is that?"

"Thank you for your help. The Knight of Glow stood aside and interjected, smiling wryly: "What do you say...... Following the clues you gave, we found traces of the Necromantic Cult and successfully captured a suspicious figure. It's a pity that the little girl's family hasn't been found yet, and the family's house has been set on fire for some reason. โ€

"What?!" Canette's heart sank, and he hurriedly propped himself up and took his notebook: "You, you look carefully, is this the building?!"

"Uh...... That's right. "After taking the note and looking at it hastily, the paladin hesitated for a moment, but said, 'That's it, no problem. The house had just burned down when we arrived at the scene. โ€™

"Why didn't you put out the fire?!" Carnett exasperated, "That house might be important!"

"We couldn't do it, the fire was spreading too badly. Shaking his head, the Glow Knight expressed deep regret: "The whole house burned down so fast, it was gone in the blink of an eye. โ€

"This ......" Carnett hesitated, and only chagrin was left in his heart: how could this be?

"Before our people could go in and see, everything was burned to ashes. In any case, the people who do it don't want us to see what's in the house. The Shadow Knight looked solemn, but extremely helpless: "It's too late to think about this now. Anyway, don't worry about that, just leave it to us. Recuperate in peace, the priest can help you recover with exorcism. โ€

Canette was in a daze now, completely unable to hear their next conversation. The paladins looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and then told the priest to be careful to slow down his treatment.

As he spoke, the Glow Knight leaned in to Carnet and patted him on the shoulder. Then he turned and left. The Shadow Knight discussed with him for a moment, and then said to the witcher in passing, "By the way, if you want, we can introduce you to the Bishop." Maybe he would be willing to join forces with the demon hunters to do some demon hunting work to keep Jinyang City safe. โ€

"Hey, is that okay?" said Cannet, who was stunned for a moment, then asked in ecstasy. But in an instant, he realized that he shouldn't be so impatient. So he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Ah no, I mean...... I really need some work to pick up. โ€

The church here is refreshing to me...... Listening to the paladin's agreed tone, Canette was surprised and moved: Originally, I hated the church, but I didn't expect these paladins here to be quite enthusiastic.

Of course, I don't rule out the possibility of trying to take advantage of me, but it doesn't seem like that for the time being.

"Then we'll tell the Bishop for you, he has a lot of problems at hand that the Demon Hunter needs to solve. The Shadow Knight nodded slightly, then exited the room, "If the Bishop agrees and you still want to, you can come and stay in the church for a while." It's not a way for you to stay here all the time. โ€

"Ah...... Good. Stunned to see the two leave, Canette sighed and began to be treated by the priest. However, although he was able to forgive his debts and get a job, it still couldn't divert his attention.

He still cared about what happened to the little girl.
