Spring in Celtic was cold and rainy, and it was only past five o'clock, and the stars were already hanging outside the window, and the sky was surging with dark cumulonimbus clouds, and a torrential rain could pour down at any moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yare stood by the window of his office, staring through the clear glass into the white limestone square below, and in the deep twilight, a dark gray women's carriage belatedly drove into the stables.

He turned around and walked to the coffee table, sprinkled the cherished fragrant tea leaves into the porcelain cup, held the cup, and held the cup in the palm of his hand with his five fingers.

At this time, Vesta also happened to appear by the door, she was wearing a silk dress with red lace today, black boots, and a purple silk hairband woven into her hair, combed into a beautiful shawl braid.

"The door didn't close. ”

She held on to the door frame for half a second, then stepped into the room without restraint, walked to the leather sofa opposite the black-haired knight, and sat down with her legs crossed.

"Let's try. Yare served warm tea.

"It smells so good. ”

Vesta wrinkled his nose, took the slightly hot porcelain cup, took a sip, his expression slowly stretched, and he squinted his eyes, revealing a pleasant expression:

"In this kind of weather, take a sip of warm and hot tea, and I feel that the fatigue of the day is gone. ”

"Is the work of the institute going well?"

"As always. ”

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, gently put down the cup, and raised her head, but showed a vicious expression:

"Your Excellency, even you cannot take up a lady's precious rest, and if there is no reasonable explanation today, I will stay in your mansion and not leave. ”

"Of course. ”

Yalei nodded, and found that the light in the room was a little dim, so he flicked his fingers and lit the oil lamp, and waited for the soft light of the silver-white lampshade to envelop the room, and then said:

"I went to the uncharted sea this time to run errands, and by the way, I caught a few prisoners, my strength is good, and I have the intention to recruit for my own use. But these people are stubborn, and they have always rejected me, and I think that you, who are proficient in spiritual spells, may have a way. ”

"That's easy, I'll help you turn them into idiots. Vesta bowed his head like a swan drawing water, his fingers looping a strand of hair, and said nonchalantly.

"I don't need idiots, I want them to be willing!" the black-haired knight knocked on the coffee table lightly to show seriousness.

"What level of strength are they?"

"It's more than the fifth order, but it's not as good as the deified knights, but don't worry, they are very weak now, and their willpower is not as good as before. ”

"Hiss......"

Vesta gasped, his eyes shone with surprise, and he shouted a little out of shape: "Do you want me to brainwash a few monsters that are close to the sixth order, how could a little me take on such a task." ”

"I'm not so rigid. ”

Yalei shook his head, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, took out a document from the coffee table, and threw it on the table: "Six people, for each one, the funding of the institute will increase by five percent for three years." When you come into contact with them, my people will be close to you and there will be no danger. ”

"Where are the people?"

Vesta took the paperwork without hesitation, his eyes were firm, his expression was serious, and his body sitting upright seemed to be a bowstring taut and ready to shoot out at any moment.

......

After seeing off the high-spirited and scrappy female commissioner, the black-haired knight snuffed out the lights and sat down in the darkness to quietly sort out his thoughts.

Although it had been decided to find the place where Elena had hinted at him, the matter at hand had to be dealt with, especially the captives of extraordinary skill - the long detention time would inevitably lead to accidents.

Yalei decided to give the generals a week, and if they dared to ignore their good intentions, they would have to die on the spot, using their heads to add a few more merits to their resumes.

After making up his mind, the black-haired knight took out the silver key, spread it in his palm, and stared at it subconsciously, his eyes reflecting the memories of Elena little by little. The snow-haired girl's voice and smile gradually became clearer, and in the process, his usual sharp gaze softened.

Da Da !

A series of footsteps disrupted his thoughts.

"Your Excellency the Governor. "This is the voice of the receptionist in the lobby downstairs.

"What's the matter?"

"There's a young lady named Marta who wants to see you, and she says she's here to fulfill her promise. ”

"Marta?"

Yalei put away the key, his eyes became calm and sharp again, and he propped himself up from the sofa:

"Let her in. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The footsteps of the receptionist quickly faded away.

After a moment of waiting, a slender figure wrapped in a black robe walked into the room, and saw the black-haired knight Hou sitting in the dark, picking up the two corners of the black robe and making a ladylike salute.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I am here as agreed upon on board. ”

Marta raised her head, revealing pure and lovely facial features, her eyes were clear and pure, and her immature little face revealed a maturity and firmness different from her age.

"So, you're going to prove yourself?"

The black-haired knight was a little surprised by the courage of the other party, his eyes kept looking at the other party, and the little girl in front of him who looked weak seemed to be completely different from what he saw that day, this is a change in temperament, which is difficult to describe in words.

"Actually, before I was rescued by the Governor, I had been thinking about a question, what did the Dryad bring me?"

Marta's eyes were still clear, without the slightest fluctuation, and she said clearly:

"The answer was that there was nothing but humiliation, and the chief treated me and my mother as slaves, and oppressed me wantonly, even when my mother was almost overwhelmed, and still demanded excessively. Nobody cares about us, no one loves us, they only give me and my mom shackles, but Uncle Charles...... Uncle Charles is different......"

The bright eyes of the tree elf were misty, and he bit his lip and choked up:

"I used to think that after my father died, no one would really love me and my mother. Until Uncle Charles appeared in front of me, he was my sun, gave me everything, loved me as if it were his own child. When he was alive, it was the happiest day of my life, and I loved him more than my biological father. The Dryads took away all my light, but Uncle Charles, who is human, gave me infinite hope. So ......"

Whew!

At this point, Marta pulled off her hood and said in a rock-solid tone:

"I'm not a Dryad anymore!"

The moonlight shone obliquely through the windows of the glazed mosaics, and in the colorful moonlight, the little daughter's pointed ears, which once belonged to the tree spirits, were gone, and only the remnants of blood on the white gauze remained, proving the almost cruel decision of the master.

The air was quiet for a moment, then interrupted by a low chuckle.

"Hehehehehe......"

The black-haired knight hung his face, unable to see the expression on his face, but his whole body was shaking from laughter. The darkness twisted behind him, changing like a shadow.

"Hahaha, it's interesting, I can't imagine that a little girl can do it to this extent!"

In the last sentence, Yalei laughed and raised his head, raised his hand, and gave birth to a suction force out of thin air, pulling Marta's body directly in front of him:

"Good! Good! Okay! A child with a strong mind must be a material that can be made! Now that you have proved your will, then I will fulfill my promise and accept you as a disciple!"
