On the northern slope of the mountain fortress, Bertina carries a small basket in her left hand and a pair of scissors in her right hand, picking ghost face mushrooms in the mushroom cultivation field.

This is a rare Zesheng poisonous mushroom that can be used to make a special potion that blinds the sense of smell of Zesheng beasts and half-dragons. The smell of the mushroom is very unpleasant, and it grows on rotten wood, so the whole mushroom farm is filled with a disgusting smell.

Bell hummed an out-of-tune nursery rhyme while using scissors to cut the ghost face mushrooms from the rotten wood in the cesspool and put them in his basket, looking very happy. She was dressed in thick clothes, wearing a tight deerskin jacket, wearing a hood, covering her mouth and nose with a towel, revealing only a pair of clear and flexible eyes, and the whole person looked round, like a cute bear.

It wasn't long before her basket was filled with ghost-faced mushrooms, and she bounced out of the nursery and held up the basket to a tall and fiery female warrior with a dazzling appearance, and flatteringly boasted, "Bell has picked another basket of mushrooms." ”

The samurai wore a distinctive horned helmet, a half-grid mask that covered her eyes, and a delicate chin and flaming red lips that evoked a peerless face hidden behind the armor. At the beginning of February, when the weather was cold, the female warrior wore a half-shoulder breastplate, a pair of skirt armor, knee-length combat boots, and elbow-length armours, revealing her slender and flexible waist and slender and rounded thighs, and her skin was smooth and firm, and the snow white was dazzling, fully demonstrating the vitality and beauty unique to transcendent life.

She took the basket and poured the mushrooms into the barrel next to her, then pulled Bell's towel open and rubbed her round, red face. When she was satisfied, she stepped aside, and three other similarly dressed warriors swarmed up, each reaching out and ravaging Bell's hair, ears, cheeks, and nose.

"Bell is so cute......"

"Bell is really capable......"

"Let me touch ...... again"

Victor saw this scene from afar, and he was both amused and angry. Bertina is notoriously lazy at Silvermoon Manor, and only when she makes mistakes will she be industrious and take the initiative to work, intending to curry favor with Nicole and Alina in order to escape punishment. The snack seller knows a knack for selling cute and well-behaved people, and her innocence and cuteness are her invincible weapons, and almost no one can resist Bell's unique spiritual charm.

Now, the four dragon maids are also obsessed with Bertina's innocent cuteness.

Of course, the attention of the Argonian people may not be a good thing for Bell. She had spent some time with the ogre tribe in the Lizard Swamp, and although she had not encountered any danger, the ogre tribe had fed her to wait until she was as fat as the leader.

The ogre provides food, and little Bell must ...... Maybe he suffered a lot of sins, right?

Argonian maids are much more terrifying than ogres.

This time, Victor orders the Source Blood militia to take Bell to the mountain fortress and instruct the four dragon maids to protect her with a telepathic connection, but the concept of teleportation is vague, and the Argonians actually treat Bertina as a treasure. No wonder the little ones are not afraid of being dirty, not afraid of being tired, and try to please them.

Sensing the presence of their master, the four dragon maids turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction where Victor was, and Mei Wen the Ripper was the first to let go of Bell, turned around and swept quickly, quickly climbing over the hill and running towards Victor. The raiders Dilly and Furgree followed, and just as Bertina breathed a sigh of relief, the Red Dragon's Ryan grabbed her and ran out with the three of her companions.

This little girl was the treasure she was in charge of guarding, and she had snatched the right from the hands of the other three dragon maids.

Seeing that Mei Wen was about to run to her master's side to invite pets, and Dilly and Fugree were also about to go, Lyra, who was lagging behind, was suddenly jealous, anxious and angry, and immediately wanted to use the dragon's wrath to catch up with the other three cheap dragons.

Bertina was so upset that she couldn't open her eyes because of the violent air currents that hit her face, her deerskin hat and scarf had been blown off, and her brown hair was flying straight back, which could be described as "fried". If Layla uses the Dragonrage talent and increases her speed by another 40%, it is questionable whether Bell will be able to continue breathing.

Victor's mind moved, a gentle breeze enveloped the dragon maid and Bertina, and the strong air flow immediately became gentle and gentle, Layla understood the master's intentions, and held Bell smoothly in the posture of a princess to his chest, and with the help of the acceleration characteristics of the furious wind field, he rushed to the master's side before the two raiders.

She put down the confused little Bell and hugged Victor's right arm, her fiery red eyes intimidated Mei Wen on the other side with a frightened gaze through the grid armor, and motioned her to retreat.

With a bright face and a slender and well-proportioned body, Meg Fiawen is not afraid of Lyra at all, she manifests the blood of the blue dragon, which is in line with Victor's attributes, and her heart is also the most closely connected. While the other dragon maids received the favor of the wind elemental from Victor to increase their perception a little, Mei Wen inherited the full talent of wind and was also immune to Alexta's terrified gaze.

It's just that Mei Wen is out-of-the-box, curious and fickle by nature, and Bertina is far less attractive to her than Victor, so she gave up the right to guard the "treasure" to Alexta.

"Master, why are you here?" Mei Wen said in a coquettish voice, ignoring Leila's provocation and holding Victor's arm.

Not to be outdone, the other three dragon maids chattered around Victor and invited pets. Bertina was completely ignored.

Actually, Victor is very annoyed by them like this, after dozens of days of hard training, the female of the Argonian is completely devoid of the dignified and subtle that the lord maid should have, and when he first saw him, he was completely exposed, and when he was not there, I am afraid that it was still in its original form.

However, today in front of Bertina, the dragon maid was especially satisfied with the intimate performance of her master.

It has been proven that ordinary alchemy units will never harm Bertina, even if Victor personally orders it, it will not help, Bell can still instruct the alchemy unit to do things, and her authority is only that of Victor. If the orders of the two people conflict with each other, the alchemical creature follows the orders of Victor.

Bertina's natural patrol envoy seems to have little effect on Victor, but the alchemical creatures of Alchemy Tower 7 are all over the world, and it is impossible for Victor to personally notify every alchemist to refuse Bertina's orders. Moreover, Bertina has already mastered the secret of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, and her existence is a hidden danger after all.

The Argonian maids who made the Dragonborn Pact with Victor do not seem to be affected by the Alchemy Tower mechanic, and they only obey Victor's orders.

If Victor doesn't think about the hidden dangers that Bertina brings for the time being, she will actually be of great help to herself. It's as if this plan to completely eradicate the ant plague has to use Bertina.

In addition to this, Bertina can also accurately find the remains of the Alchemy Tower, making it easier to improve and upgrade the No. 7 Alchemy Tower. However, the stronger the power of the Alchemy Tower, the heavier Bertina's authority becomes, and Victor must plant a guard by her side to prevent her from being abducted by people or other beings, and in the event that the situation is irretrievable, to be able to directly eliminate the hidden danger.

Of course, Victor can be ruthless and execute Bertina now. But it was obviously not a wise decision, at least Bell was still under his control for now, but if she died, a second or third Bell would appear in a corner and at some time.

The No. 7 Alchemy Tower Master openly rebelled against the arrangement of the power of fate, which would give birth to new tower owners and patrol envoys, and be strongly hostile to Victor.

It's actually good that Bertina is in this position now.

The Argonian maid, who has a heart-to-heart with Victor, is best suited for the role of Bertina's bodyguard. Unfortunately, they only have a lifespan of 25 years at most, while Alchemy Pagoda 7 takes more than 80 years to return to production. Because of this, Victor had to find the Creation Rune Crystal within 25 years and repair the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda ahead of schedule.

The arrangement of the power of fate is always unavoidable...... Victor sighed silently in his heart, reached out and rubbed Bertina's little head, and said with a stiff face: "Bell, you have committed the crime of stealing your master's property!"

"I didn't steal...... I stole a jar of honey. Bell lowered his head, raised his eyes to peek at Victor's cold expression, and added weakly: "There is also a jar of caviar...... And four creamy pine nut cakes, and, too, a box of preserves, three cups of goat's milk, five salted lizard eggs, ......"

"Bell was wrong, Bell will never dare to steal it again...... Master, don't put Bell in jail here. Bell wants to go home, it's scary. Bertina took Victor's sleeve and looked up and begged, "Bell will do a good job, and the master will take me away." ”

Can you eat five salted lizard eggs?!

Victor was secretly speechless, feeling that he had seriously underestimated the appetite of the snack goods. He said in a cold tone, "It's not the first day that you've stolen food...... I'm talking about Alchemy Tower No. 7, you stole the authority of the Alchemy Tower. ”

“...... Huh?"

As soon as Bertina heard that the owner was not blaming her for stealing food, she was immediately relieved, and her chubby little hand patted her small breasts, looking up at her round face like a red apple, and explained: "Master, Bell has a voice in his head, saying that the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda is about to be damaged, and asks me if I want to repair it or close it." I didn't dare tell Lady Nicole, or Lady Alina, Lady Alice, or Lady Lilia, and Bell just wanted to tell the master, but the master wasn't at home...... It asks Bell every day, and whenever Bell remembers, it asks, so noisy that Bell can't sleep. I ran to the place where the sound was transmitted, I arrived at the secret castle on the hill, and the guards let Bell in, Bell originally wanted to close the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, but he couldn't turn it off, and the voice told me that the No. 7 Alchemy Tower had an owner. I had to choose to fix it and then the sound was gone. ”

"Master, Bell did not steal the Alchemy Tower. The snack merchant pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Victor was silent for a moment and said, "Ignorance is not a reason to make mistakes...... There is a price to pay for making mistakes. Do you know what they are?"

As soon as the words fell, the four dragon maids transformed into three-meter-long dragon men with sharp horns and long tails at the same time, and they were prostrate on the ground, opening their bloody mouths full of sharp teeth and approaching Bertina.

"Ah, ah, monster, monster, don't eat Bell, Bell doesn't dare, don't dare next time. ”

Surrounded by four dragonmen, Bertina was so frightened that she couldn't stop jumping on her feet, and seeing the monster's mouth getting closer and closer to her, she finally let out a wow, squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, tears and snot all flowing.

"Wow....... Grandpa Miller save me"

"Ah...... Aka come and save me. ”

"Daddy save me ......."

"Lady Alina save me...... Lady Alice save me...... Lady Nicole save me. ”

"Master save me ......."

Bell was terrified, crying and crying out for help from those close to him. When she called out to her master, Victor picked him up from the ground, and he hugged his neck and howled vigorously.

After crying for a while, she opened her hazy teary eyes curiously, looking for the four terrible monsters just now, and found that they were all facing outwards and staring in the same direction, especially the monster whose whole body was red like a flame flowing was letting out a dull roar, the ground was dry and cracked under its claws, and a little spark came out of its nose, looking very angry.

Victor's dark golden eyes lit up, and the four dragonmen, who were enraged by the provocation, showed a humanized and confused expression, and then reversed their joints, stood up, and lined up, waiting for their master's instructions.

"Just because you repaired the alchemy tower without authorization, it almost caused Leila and them to lose control, if it weren't for me, you would have been eaten by them. Victor took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped Bell's face, and admonished: "In the future, if you hear any voice in your head, you must tell me in time, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions." Do you understand?"

"Bell doesn't dare anymore, Bell is the most well-behaved. Bertina nodded again and again, reassuring, "I listen to my master." ”

"I went to take a shower and change my clothes, and my body was full of the smell of ghost face mushrooms, and my face was crying. Victor put down Bertina and commanded.

"I'm scared...... The host took Bell to take a shower. ”

Victor almost covered his face with his hand, this little girl is 25 years old this year, even if she is only ten years old, she is still a girl, which is equivalent to 15 years old on earth.

However, Bell's mind is indeed still in its infancy, and there is no need to worry too much about her. Victor recruits two alchemist militiamen, orders them to protect Beltina, and asks Bell to take a bath himself.

Accompanied by the alchemy militia, Bell was not afraid, wiped his face with his sleeve, but smelled the strange smell of ghost face mushrooms, snorted twice, and hurriedly took his bodyguards to the castle to wash.

Watching the chubby little girl walk into the castle, Victor turned his head to look into the distance, frowned, shook his head, and sighed to himself:

“...... Aka, this stupid big guy ruined my good deeds. ”

He had just tried to use the dragonmen to force Bertina's potential, but Bell called for help, attracting Caligula's attention.

Aka rushed over from the Silver Moon Manor, dozens of kilometers away, and his psychic touch locked onto the four dragonmen who threatened Bertina, and the gold-level spiritual deterrence completely angered the dragon maid.

Victor felt Caligula's spiritual will through the spiritual connection with the dragonman, and the stupid big man was full of firepower, and his heart surged, like a monstrous wave beating the soul of the dragon maid.

Caligula's psychic power, though strong, was not enough to shake the will of the four dragonmen, which was a provocation to them. Alexta was almost uncontrollable to kill him, and Victor could appease them for a while, but he couldn't stop the stupid big man from provoking the dragons.

As a last resort, he stabbed Caligula hard with the help of Mei Wen's heart. Feeling the will and presence of his master, Aka immediately shrunk.

The dragon maids don't know why, but they obey Victor's mental will, lift the dragonman transformation, and restore the beautiful and enchanting wurmin form.

Victor ignores the four dragon maids who are in full bloom, and is still entangled in being the last to be called for help by Bertina.

It's no wonder that he has been fighting all year round, and he doesn't spend much time in Silvermoon Manor, and even less time with Bertina, and the spiritual charm of the snack has almost no effect on him. Over time, Bell and he gradually drifted apart.

The value and potential that Bertina has shown cannot be ignored by Victor, and the only way to do it is to keep her with him at all times.

Leading the four Argonian females into the castle's knights' hall, Victor told them to change into their maid dresses first, and then sat on the throne in the middle of the hall, quietly waiting for another important person.

Not long after, Charlotte, dressed in a women's Thorsilver armor, appeared in front of the throne in the Knights' Hall with Wizard Emerson, and Victor knocked on the armrest and said condescendingly, "You have seen it all." ”

Emerson pouted, knelt down at the foot of the steps in front of the throne, and pleaded with a wailing voice: "Master, please spare Bertina, don't let ...... Don't let them eat my daughter. ”
