"Crunch, squeak, squeak. Sitting in the corner, Shuer chewed on the fragrant sausage, the hind leg meat of the forest lizard was very chewy, and it tasted like it was addictive, and people were reluctant to put it down, and they had to eat the whole thing in one go before they would stop.

Around the campfire in the distance, the banquet has entered the most lively stage, full of food and drink, wine to half full, it is the most energetic time.

The parasites who had just experienced two strange days in the ghost space, and the caravan members who were scared outside and didn't even know what was happening to them, finally got rid of the fear that was wrapped around them like a spider's web, and suddenly relieved of the psychological pressure, these ordinary people burst out with far more enthusiasm than usual, and devoted all their bodies and minds to the enjoyment of the banquet.

Life is so fragile that you will leave this world forever before you know it, and die in loneliness and despair, so why not enjoy every beautiful moment of life to the fullest and make it even happier to be alive?

So, the music played, the fireworks were lit, the glass of wine was full, and the dance steps were in full swing.

Happiness is contagious.

Soon, more and more people threw themselves into the excitement, threw away the usual reserve and hypocrisy, and faced the world for the rest of their lives with their true selves. Even a few high-status subordinates around Earl Merck were involved in it with the acquiescence of Lord Earl. Maybe tomorrow they will put on a thick shell again and be their original cautious selves, but at least in this moment, they let go of everything, at least in this moment, they are happy.

Only Shuer, holding a plate of food and a few bottles of wine, sat in the shadows, the light of the bonfire could not shine on him, and he was accompanied only by the boundless darkness, and the lightless moon that always stood gently in the night sky.

"Squeak, squeak", he seemed to be eating happily, but his eyes always stayed on the bonfire, the girl standing in the light, no one knew what he was thinking, and he was surrounded by silence that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"Come here, or I'm afraid you'll dig the carriage out of the hole. Still staring at Lisa's side, Shul suddenly whispered, "It seems that your patience is really good if you can wait until now." ”

From the shadow of a bunch of carriages next to them, two people slowly walked out, a man and a woman, naturally the two leaders of the parasites, Linda and McRae.

"Sit. Pointing to the opposite position, this is the simplest negotiation technique, with the help of the difference in identity, with just a simple word and an action, it is natural to control the dominance of the dialogue, "Ready to talk about it formally?"

"Hmm. The two sat down cautiously, and Linda nodded, "Tonight should be the last chance." ”

"Hehe, you underestimate your own worth, but also because you don't understand my intentions. Shul threw down his plate and wiped the corners of his mouth with the grace characteristic of a clergyman, "Actually, today is not necessarily the last chance. ”

"You're going to take us with you?" the man and woman looked at each other, all four eyes shining at the same time.

"Well, it's very sincere. Indeed, revealing the next step as soon as you come up, fully demonstrating your sincerity, can avoid a lot of trouble for future exchanges.

"We understand that in that case, we try not to make reservations. ”

"As much as possible?"

"Well, as much as possible. ”

"Well, after all, everyone has problems. Not being too demanding of the two, Shul watched Lisa from a distance holding Eddie and Sophie's hands left and right, sneaking around the campfire, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked seemingly nonchalantly, "Nobleman?"

"Yes. The two of them smiled bitterly at the same time, it seemed that they really couldn't hide it.

"He had a strict secondary education, but he was slightly lacking in etiquette, and although there were reasons for hiding his identity and being in the wilderness, the importance of costume and art was at best moderate or even low. From this, the third or fourth daughter of a certain baron's family, and they are concubines?"

"Heh, you're right. Sighing helplessly, Linda felt that she had no secrets, so she could only nod and nod again.

"Why can't you have children? Congenital or acquired?"

The sudden sharpness made Linda's face turn pale instantly, and she even suspected that Shuer was an acquaintance who knew her details, but reason still made her quickly face the reality, and replied unabashedly: "The priest of the Lady of Misery has examined it and said that it is a congenital disease. ”

"Then it can't be helped, sorry. Shuer sighed regretfully, if it is an acquired injury, it can also be solved with healing magic, but the Lady of Tribulation is a god in charge of illness and medical treatment, and her priests are all excellent doctors, since they have already judged that it is caused by a congenital disease, then Shuer has no power to change anything.

"Nothing. Linda smiled reluctantly, "I'm used to it." ”

"If you have been married, you should have married a new nobleman or a nobleman who has lost power, but because you can't have children, you divorce, and your family even makes some compensation to each other because of this. The status of the female descendants after the third daughter in the family is much lower than that of the eldest daughter and the second daughter, and it has caused losses to the family, coupled with the problem of illness, they will not be able to marry in the future, so that they will be marginalized by their parents, discriminated against by their siblings, and even their subordinates will not pay attention to you. ”

"Don't pay attention, hehe, you don't have to be so tactful, Lord Priest. ”

"He's your housekeeper?" Retracting his gaze from Lisa, who was being entangled by Duck's rose, Shure pointed at McRae, "Fourth or fifth?"

"My family isn't that big, fourth steward. ”

"O the last steward, and he is inherited, and he is sympathetic. Xiuer nodded thoughtfully, "Unwilling to be discriminated against all the time and elope?"

"It should ...... Not really. ”

"Well, it seems that a tacit agreement has been reached. ”

"Heh, Lord Priest, you can see it very accurately. Linda smiled bitterly, "The family is happy to get rid of a burden and a laughing stock, and they don't mind having one less last housekeeper who stands in the way, as long as they leave far away and never go back, they won't do anything." Of course, if you have to go back, you don't have to think about it unless there is an extraordinary achievement that can silence the mouths of other nobles. ”

"That's right. All the observations were confirmed, and Shul was silent for a while, squinting his eyes and asking, "What are your plans for the future?"

"You mean originally?"

"Of course. ”

"Although it is equivalent to being kicked out on the initiative, the family did not treat us badly, and acquiesced in us taking away some of our belongings, originally our plan was to use Wendy's status as a pan-believer to take root in the Emerald Empire, sell those belongings and open a small shop, at least to ensure that we can support ourselves. As for how it will develop in the future, it can only depend on the situation. ”

"I think so, with your earl's treasurer friend to take care of it, it shouldn't be a problem for the small shop to open. Shul smiled, "But are you sure you'll be able to take root smoothly?"

"Of course not. Linda said self-deprecatingly, "Even if you arrive at the Emerald Empire safely, you need to show how useful you are, so what can you be sure of." Wait, what the priest said, you have a long-term mission that we need to accomplish, so you want us to abandon our original plan?"

"Very smart woman, I like to talk to smart people. Shure's smile was full of seduction, almost like a seductive demon, "Think about it, after the Water Curtain Festival is over, you will return to the Rose Capital of the Kola Kingdom with me, and I will be responsible for ensuring your safety and income in the future, and as long as I live, this promise will always be valid." And you are responsible for working for me, and the income will definitely be enough for your life, and, as long as you stick to it, you can accumulate a lot of contacts. ”

"If we refuse ......"

"Then you're of little use to me, like any other parasite. "The implication is obvious, then you go with those people, and I wish you good luck.

"What is the job?"

"As you said before, you like children very much, and naturally it is a work related to children. ”

"We need to think about it. Linda squeezed McRae's hand tightly, biting her lower lip, and said, "It's too hasty to give you an answer now." ”

"Tomorrow morning, I hope to get an answer. ”

"As you wish. ”

"Hehehe, a windfall. Already sure that the two would agree, Xiuer watched the two of them leave in a hurry, as if to say to the air, "It seems that this encounter is not without benefits." ”

"Hee-hee, I don't know. With two hands stretched out from behind her back, wrapping her arms around Shuer's waist and pressing her little face against her brother's back, Lisa replied softly, "What the hell is my brother going to do?"

"I won't tell you. Shul smiled and patted the little hand on his stomach, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"Hehe, it's good that my brother is no longer upset. Smelling the familiar smell, the girl sighed with satisfaction, "I like this brother the most." ”

Shuer paused, and the muscles on his body stiffened.

"Are these two days really dangerous? I want to hear my brother tell the truth. ”

"Well, every step is dangerous, if we don't probe for the smoke, we won't be able to come back, if it weren't for Dake's mood to find Marlene, we wouldn't be able to come back, if it wasn't for Marlene accidentally stumbling out of the ghost space, we wouldn't be able to come back, if we didn't find the medium in time in the end......"

"We won't be able to come back. ”

"Hehe, the time flow rate on both sides is not equal, and the flow speed inside is getting faster and faster, I don't know what if the time flow rate gap is too large, but it is very likely that the connection between the two sides will be completely disconnected because of this, and even if you find a medium at that time, there will be no point. Hehehe, whenever I feel that I can already protect you, the reality will slap me hard, it's really ironic to think about it. ”

"So my brother blames himself and almost brought me into a desperate situation?"

Shul kept his mouth shut, he was too embarrassed to answer such a question.

"So, my brother is stupid, the biggest one. Suddenly, the fit pounced on Shuer's back, and hung on his brother's body like a backpack, Lisa tore Shuer's hair, and said with a smile, "Brother doesn't understand at all, a desperate situation or something, the great Lisa is not afraid, there are goddesses, there are brothers, there is no desperate situation at all." Moreover, as long as you can be by your brother's side, even if you are really in a desperate situation, Lisa-sama will be satisfied, so the great Lisa-sa does not blame you at all, and you are not allowed to blame yourself, understand, stupid brother. ”

"Hey, hey, don't be funny, you're going to be bald. ”

"Become bald, hahahaha. ”
