The scroll flashed with a dazzling white light, and Ruth chanted a spell in her mouth, and after a while, the light on the scroll began to gradually dissipate, and finally disappeared completely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ruth let out a long breath and said slowly: "After the ceremony, if you break the contract, you will be punished by the God of Light, and from now on, you will be my eternal servant." ”

When Lucy heard this, his head suddenly became bigger, and he said in a panic: "What!!Eternal servant?

"Ah...... Sorry, I made a mistake...... Don't worry about these details. Ruth smiled embarrassedly, swung her pink fist and smashed Lucy's strong chest armor and said, "Don't you think we are quite fated? My name is Ruth, and your name is Lucy, just like a brother and sister." ”

Although he felt that something was not quite right, Lucy was not too relieved, since it was a foregone conclusion, it was too late to regret it, and the nervous Lucy lay on the grass and yawned on his back.

Several days of running around did make Lucy a little tired, although he could not drink water or eat, but he also needed to rest mentally, at this moment he didn't want to say anything, just wanted to sleep well, unconsciously, Lucy fell asleep.

Ruth looked at Lucy lying on the ground, and frowned: "Get up, the master is a little thirsty, hurry up and get me some water to drink." ”

After waiting for a long time, she found that the other party was motionless, Ruth was a little annoyed, and just after signing the contract, she took her words as a deaf ear, which really gave this guy a good face.

"Get up and work for the old lady!" Ruth walked up angrily and kicked it.

“............”

As a result, Lucy, who was lying on the ground, did not react, and slept very deeply, as if he was dead.

"Hey, old lady, I'm so grumpy, I can't do it without giving you some color!" Ruth lifted her boot and stepped on Lucy's chest.

This kick was full of strength, but instead of waking Lucy up, it shook her foot numbly.

Ruthdale frowned, looked at the black armor on Lucy's body with puzzled eyes, and muttered, "What a hard armor......"

Ruth's heart lit up with a flame, licked the corners of her mouth, twisted her ankles a few times, took three steps back, a layer of cyan fighting energy appeared on her feet, she jumped up suddenly, did a somersault in the air, crossed a green light under her feet, and kicked Lucy on the ground with one leg.

The blow was so powerful that it landed firmly on Lucy's body, and with a loud bang, Ruth was catapulted off and fell straight into the grass several meters away.

"Oops...... It hurts my mother!"

Ruth staggered to her feet, looking embarrassed, looking at Lucy still asleep, her heart was about to break.

You must know that in the blow just now, Ruth almost used all her strength, and attached a fighting spirit, ordinary armor is broken even if it is not broken, but the armor of this goods is not only unharmed, but even the white seal is left, which is incredible.

"Liar, who can afford to wear such good armor, actually says that he has no money. Ruth looked at Lucy on the ground with disdain, guessing that this stupid pig was either a powerful child or a local tyrant adventurer, it seemed that he had picked up a treasure, and it would be a loss if he didn't make good use of it.

Ruth was silently calculating in her heart, and suddenly her eyes fell on Lucie's grimace mask, why did this guy wear a mask, Ruth squatted beside Lucy curiously, stretched out her hand and stroked the cold mask on Lucy's face,

Ruth was just about to take off her mask, but a chill rose in her heart......

......

At dusk, Lucy finally woke up, he subconsciously touched the mask on his face, and made sure that no one had moved, and his heart finally couldn't come down.

He didn't want others to know about his lack of body, although Lucy hadn't seen much of the world, but he knew that this kind of appearance would definitely be unacceptable to ordinary people, and he might even treat him as an anomaly, and if he wanted to continue to live a normal life, he had to keep this secret.

Lucy sat up, and saw a bonfire burning on the ground beside him, and Ruth was sitting by the fire, holding a twig with two fat bullfrogs stuck in it, humming a little song and roasting it.

The bonfire burned very strongly, and from time to time there was a popping sound, and the smoky smell mixed with the faint aroma of meat filled the air.

"You finally woke up, I thought you were dead. Ruth gently touched the oily frog meat with her fingers, sucking on her fingers.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sleepy, I don't even know when I'm asleep. Lucy stood up and moved his armor and stretched out.

Ruth picked up the roasted bullfrog, pursed her pink lips, and blew slightly: "I've always been curious why you wear a mask, is it because you don't have a face?"

It turned out that Ruth didn't unmask Lucy when he was asleep, because she didn't know the bottom of her heart, and she was afraid that the face under the mask would be too ugly, you must know that normal people don't cover their faces, and covering their faces is either because they are too ugly or afraid that people will recognize them.

Ruth was afraid of seeing an ugly monster following her, so after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to remain mysterious, as the so-called out of sight, the heart is pure.

"That...... It's too ugly, I'm afraid of scaring others......" Although Lucy knew that the other party was just joking, he still tightened his heart when asked, and he slurred.

When Ruth heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, as she expected, fortunately she didn't take off the mask, otherwise she would regret her death, Ruth secretly rejoiced, and kept nodding and said: "You're right, don't say it's intimidating, it's not good to scare flowers and plants, don't take them off, especially in front of me." ”

Lucy also thought that what he said would be revealed, but he found that he was too worried, and the other party not only did not doubt it, but was convinced, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I won't take off the mask easily." ”

"Well, that's right, it's not your fault that you're ugly, be obedient, and the master won't treat you badly. Ruth smiled approvingly, pulled a bullfrog leg, and handed it to Lucie: "Take it and eat, and you will have to hurry later." ”

Lucy shook his head and said, "It's better for you to eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Ruth didn't know why, and pouted: "If you're sure you don't eat it, then I'm welcome." ”

Ruth stuffed the bullfrog leg into her mouth and feasted on it, eating heroically, and Lucy was shocked to see it.

“...... Start today...... We were on our way at night...... Sleep during the day. Ruth munched on the bullfrog as she slurred her words.

Lucy was a little dazed and said, "Hurry up at night?"

Ruth swallowed the bullfrog meat in her mouth, reached out and wiped her mouth, and said, "Thieves' Union." ”

The Thieves' Guild, Lucy didn't hear of it for the first time, he remembered that the villagers had said that there were two major guilds in the Ottoid Empire, one was the Adventurers' Guild and the other was the Thieves' Guild, the former was a paradise for the unemployed and brave, and the latter was a holy place for outlaws.

"Where are you going to do what?" Lucy said curiously.

"Of course it's to make money, stupid. Ruth burped, stood up and stepped on the bonfire on the ground, looked at Luci and said, "Just follow the master obediently, where did you get so much nonsense." ”

Seeing Ruth's arrogant appearance, Lucy felt amused, and did not continue to ask, shaking his head helplessly.

"I'll tell you, don't disobey the old lady's words, the master-servant contract has been signed, and it's useless to regret it! ”

In the night, Ruth led the way in front, Lucy followed silently, the two walked quickly along the way, Lucy wanted to tell a joke at first to liven up the atmosphere, but seeing Ruth's face as cold as ice, he felt that it was better to choose to remain silent.

The sun rose in the east, the warm morning light sprinkled the earth, a forest appeared in front of him, the breeze blew slowly, the leaves in the forest rattled, Lucy smelled the fragrance of the earth, and immediately felt relaxed, and the two walked into the forest.

"Across this forest is a small border village of the Ottoid Empire, and when the time comes, go to the village trading post and rent a carriage, and soon you will be able to reach the thieves' union. Ruth said with a little tiredness on her face.

Lucy didn't answer, and walked behind with his head down.

"I said you're dumb, why don't you say anything!" Ruth said with a slight frown as she kicked away the branch in front of her.

Lucy stretched out his hand to remove the fallen leaves on his head, and said helplessly: "As soon as I speak, you say that I talk a lot of nonsense, I don't speak, and you call me dumb, which is simply not a way to live." ”

Ruth pursed her arrogant lips and said, "Why don't you give you a way to live?" why don't you die, I am the master and you are a servant, can you understand some rules, you have to answer when I speak in the future, yes, I know the master, understand!"

"Wouldn't that be too verbose....... Lucy had heard of this rule for the first time, and replied blankly

Ruth couldn't help but roll her eyes, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Forget it, you better continue to be dumb." ”

Ruth strode faster and faster, and Lucy didn't dare to speak again, silently following closely behind.

Suddenly, there was a sound of small footsteps in the forest, the sound was very soft, and it was impossible to hear it if she didn't listen carefully, Ruth stopped, looked around with a vigilant face, she slowly bent down and pulled out a dagger from her boots, and said to Luci with a side face: "Be careful, there are enemies." ”

"Enemy?" Lucy then stood in place, looking around nervously, and when he first entered the forest, he heard someone walking, and thought that there were hunters in the forest, so he didn't care, and when he heard Ruth say it, Lucy suddenly realized.

"It's very close to us, there seem to be a lot of people, there is nowhere to hide, get ready for battle. Ruth's tone was cold, and she slowly raised the dagger in front of her chest, only to see a trace of cyan fighting spirit faintly floating on the dagger.

Lucy looked at the dagger glowing with green light in Ruth's hand, posing as if she was facing a great enemy, and suddenly became more nervous in her heart, clenched her fists with both hands, swallowed her saliva, and said: "There are twelve people in total, three in front, three on the left, three on the right, and three in the back." ”

Ruth glanced at her in surprise, "How do you know?"

Lucy didn't answer, because he didn't know why, and he could suddenly clearly feel the heartbeat of the people nearby, and the twelve rhythmic voices were getting closer and closer from all four directions.
