CHAPTER XVII

"Mirror, mirror, who's the cutest woman in the world?"

The tall floor-to-ceiling mirror did not move at all, and no sound came out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it's just an ordinary silver plate, even if it's expensive, but it's not even a magic prop after all, how can it be answered?

It really had to reply, "Beautiful young lady, you are the loveliest woman in the world!" and Kasari would have been frightened and fled from the door.

She stared at the mirror, the young beauty of the girl in the mirror, the carefully matched clothes and just the right makeup, made her even more beautiful and moving, especially the pearl pendant hanging on her chest, and her ivory-white skin intertwined, full of intoxicating charm. Even the maid next to her often lost her mind when she looked at her smile.

But at this moment, the person in the mirror looks very melancholy.

Women are the ones who please themselves, and women try to dress up, most of them to make their lovers happy. When her mother was still alive, she once told her that a woman's beauty is like a flower, and she should not bloom in front of outsiders.

At that time, she did not understand this, and she could not understand why her mother seemed so happy whenever her father came back from home.

Now she understands.

However......

She sighed deeply, and the people in the mirror also sighed together, and her beautiful face was full of sorrow, which made the maids next to her feel distressed.

"Mother, what can I do to make him happy?"

The man in the mirror could not answer, neither could the maids, and the most famous beauty of the East Coast returned to the dresser melancholy, her eyes full of confusion.

"Father. You once said that the best men are not intoxicated by my beauty. A man who simply likes me. Now I've met a man who isn't at all fascinated by my beauty, but what the hell is going to be. To make him like me?"

She was depressed for a long time, but at last she got up and finished all her makeup, and went out in the company of the maid.

"Miss Casally, good morning. ”

"Miss Cashalie, are you going out?"

Along the way, servants and officials greeted her one after another, and she responded one by one. Every time she responds to someone, that person is instantly refreshed. Especially the young men. It's even more refreshed, as if I've drunk an uplifting potion.

As she walked past the door of the government hall, she stopped and looked inside.

The tall, handsome, reliable figure that could withstand a storm or a tsunami was sitting at his desk. There were already a lot of documents piled up on the desk, all of which he needed to deal with.

This man was always busy, and when the city of Gars was in ruins, he was running around the construction sites. He took the lead in doing things, and once dived into the bottom of the port of Gars, and removed the large pieces of rubble that prevented the ship from mooring one by one. Later, the city of Gars slowly recovered, and he spent all day in the company. Dealing with official duties that can never be completed. I also often have to find time to try big and important cases, negotiate with various forces, and sometimes lead the team in person. Slay the mighty monsters that have wandered from the wilderness to the vicinity of Garth City.

It is because of his leadership that Gars City has been able to survive in just two years. From a dilapidated ruin to a thriving trading port.

If it weren't for him, it would be the refugees who lost their homes. Not to mention rebuilding the city, I'm afraid that even survival will be a problem.

If it weren't for him, perhaps she would have been kidnapped by some powerful and became a plaything in the inner room, or she was fought over by powerful people to become a rare collectible......

She looked at the man's figure in a daze, her eyes full of intoxication.

He will always be so strong, so steady, so reliable!

When faced with the ruins, everyone was full of despair, and he was like a bonfire, which not only illuminated people's hearts, but also gave people who were shivering in the early spring and winter to rely on.

At the beginning, when all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods came one after another, and they wanted to knock the bones and marrow of the unprotected Gals, he was like a ball of thunder, and the bad things staggered, either fleeing in embarrassment, or becoming the soul of the sword. In more than two months, he fought more than ten times, and finally shocked all those bad guys and defended Garth.

When she was forced into the palace at the celebration and was in a dilemma, it was he who stepped forward and stopped in front of her, blocking the pressure for her. He then persuaded the great gods to send messengers to help her.

......

Before she knew it, Cashalie's gaze had been completely attracted to the man, and she stood in the doorway, staring at the person who was working at the desk, and the corners of her mouth naturally had a smile on her lips.

"Oh, it's just as beautiful today!" a voice that almost came out of her bones woke her up, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was the same Steele who didn't take the cold seriously at all, and was dressed like summer.

She didn't like this woman.

Not because of this woman's amazing beauty, nor because of this woman's unserious style, but because this woman knew him very well and was one of his very few friends.

She stepped aside and let Steele in.

Steele swaggered in, completely ignoring the majesty of the Archon, and sat straight at his desk, regardless of whether he would be able to see the spring light under his skirt at such a close distance. She even lifted her skirt a little, and at the end of the black stockings, her skin was dazzlingly white, and the purple lace of some underwear was exposed even more appropriately, which was simply offensive.

"What's the matter?" Ray was unmoved, and continued to look at the documents without even raising his head, "You're okay and don't come to the door, and it's okay to come here." ”

Stille, with a hurt expression, said sadly, "Do you think of me like that? Am I such a terrible woman?"

"If you can be a little more serious, maybe you can save some of the image in my heart. ”

"Would you fall in love with me then?"

“...... I'll reduce the number of times I put your name on the target. ”

Steele laughed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and her body trembled, and a part of Casali's resentment shook violently, rippling into a white wave that almost turned the men into hungry wolves.

Ray sighed deeply and put down the papers in his hand: "If you are very idle, why don't you go to the hospital to do things?" I believe the patients will be happy to see you." ”

"I'm here for the hospital. Steele finally put on a serious look, "Recently, there have been a lot more injured adventurers than before!"

A cold glint flashed in Lei's eyes: "What is the reason?"

"The monsters on the other side of the swamp have not only increased significantly, but have also become stronger and more violent. ”

Lei narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that His Majesty finally couldn't hold back and wanted to do something?"

"Maybe, but there are no obvious traces for the time being, so it can only be said that there is a possibility. ”

Ray nodded, took out the booklet he had used to record important matters, and jotted it down.

No matter how good a person's memory is, it is not as good as the words written down in a book. His Majesty Mask of the Void once said, "A good memory is better than a bad pen", and Ray agreed, and was so inspired to prepare such a booklet.

Sui Xiong also helped him blacken the cover of the booklet and draw a line of white runes on it.

That's nine exotic symbols, five on the left, four on the right, the second symbol is the same as the last one, and the fourth symbol is the same as the penultimate one.

"The black cover and these strange symbols...... Is there any special significance?" he asked at the time.

Sui Xiong smiled and didn't say anything, just looked very happy.

There are many things already recorded in this booklet, each of which is very important, and I don't know if it is a trick of fate, almost everything has developed into a bloody conflict in the end.

For example, the first thing recorded in the pamphlet is that the believers of the God of Fear poured into the city of Garth, as if they wanted to do something bad and should be on guard.

The final result of that incident was that Thunder rode the Bronze Crowned Flying Dragon to chase them for hundreds of miles, killing all the believers of the God of Fear, leaving not a single one.

It is now recorded that "the monsters of the Swamp have abnormal movements, and it is necessary to organize a human force to clean them up as soon as possible", and it is clear that there will be such a development.

When he was done, Steele shook her body and walked away with a sinful stride. Ray looked at Kasari, who had been at the door, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"City Lord, do you have anything to order?"

Cathali, who was glad that he had finally noticed him, sighed secretly because of his estranged title, smiled reluctantly, shook her head, and said, "I have nothing to do, just to see you...... You're so busy, it's really hard!"

"Hard? It's nothing. Lei smiled and said, "It's just a little official business, it's not hard." ”

But then he changed his tone and persuaded: "City Lord, I am only an outsider after all, and you are the true master of Gars City. I think you should learn more about government affairs, so that it will be very beneficial for you to govern in the future. ”

Kasali's mood was even lower: "Aren't you a good consul, even if I don't study government affairs, it's okay to keep you in power." ”

Lei shook his head and said gently: "Although I am a knight, I am essentially a priest after all, and I am also the high priest of a church. When our church grows, I will definitely sit in the temple, and I will not be able to stay in Garth City as an archon forever. ”

"Isn't it possible to build a temple here?" asked Kasari, "and we have a large population and easy transportation, isn't it the best place to build a temple?"

Lei was slightly moved, and had to admit that she had a point.

"I will make a suggestion to Your Majesty, but you must know that the thoughts of gods are different from those of mortals. He said, "Perhaps it seems to you and me that the bustling city of Garth is far more suitable for a temple than the bitter cold of the ash forest, but your majesty's will is the key to everything." ”

Kasally sighed secretly, exchanged pleasantries, and left.

Looking at the pearl pendant on her chest that she had just bought from the Storm Sea Merchant Pavilion yesterday, she sighed deeply.

The whole time, Ray didn't notice it at all...... (To be continued.) )
