The sun shone in from the mouth of the cave, and I stretched out on the spot.

Looking at the green mountains outside, I felt my eyes relax a lot.

The smell of refurbished earth wafted through the air, the smell of sunny days after rain.

"Lilith!"

Turning around, I saw Randy walk out, holding a glass of water.

"Give!"

"Thank you."

He handed me the glass, and when he took it, I felt the residual warmth in my palm.

Another whole cup of blood.

During these three months, every once in a while, he would take the initiative to send a bottle of blood.

Thanks to him, my injuries healed so quickly.

I'm used to Randy helping me like this, so there's no barrier.

After drinking a full glass of blood, I licked the corners of my mouth and asked Randy, "Anything else?"

"Ah, you still want it?" Randy looked a little surprised, touching the back of his head.

"This Pikachu's blood tastes good, if only I could taste it all the time." I say.

Randy said, "Okay, I'll get you as much as you want."

I sighed and said, "It's a pity that after I left here, I couldn't drink anymore."

"Why?" Randy asked.

I looked at him and said, "Didn't you say that this is blood from a nearby monster, and I'm about to leave here, so I can't drink it anymore."

"That's right." Randy is somewhat nonchalant.

I noticed that his face was not very good, his skin was pale, and his lips were dry.

It should be because he practiced black magic.

I've heard that cultivating black magic will pay a corresponding price, some people practice black magic, consume their own lifespan, and some ruin their appearance.

In short, there are side effects.

"You're up so early!"

The voice of the muse came from the cave.

I looked at her as she gradually emerged from the gloom and said hello pleasantly.

"Good morning, Miss Muse."

Muse played with the two ponytails on her shoulders and walked along.

Dakos also came out of the cave.

The cave leads to the ruins of the underground, which appears to be very secluded and nestled in a valley.

"It's time to leave." My voice.

Reluctantly, Muse gave me a hug, "I'll miss you, Lilith."

Dacos wanted to hug me too, and as soon as he stretched out his arms, he was dissuaded by the eyes of Randy and Muse.

"Muse, thank you for taking care of me, you gave me a second life, and I can't repay it!" I say it from the bottom of my heart.

Muse and Dakos looked at each other and smiled.

Muse said, "Actually, you should also thank someone who has been taking care of you."

"Oh, Randy?" I looked over to Randy and saw that he was smirking at me.

"Yes, he spent a lot of effort to help you heal." Muse said.

Dakos asked, "I've always wondered, are you two husband and wife?"

I shyly turned my head away and glanced at a happy Randy next to me, "No!"

"That's weird, you're not Randy's wife, why would he be so nice to you?" Muse's voice was confused.

I'll admit that it's Randy who is doing his best to take care of me these days, making me slowly let down my guard against him.

It's just that...... I don't understand, he's just a stranger to me, why should he be so nice to me?

Without thinking about it, I said to Randy, "Hey, would you like to go back with me?"

"You're going to the royal city, right?" Randy asked.

"Of course, I'll live there." I say.

Randy clenched his fists and sighed, "Oh, got it."

"You look upset, huh?" I

Surprised.

Randy said, "The man who killed you is in the royal city, and we're afraid we'll be in trouble if we go!"

I thought about it and said, "Spike is a Templar, and if he kills me, my master will definitely not let him go, so I'll just ask my master for help!"

"No, it wasn't Spike who killed you." Randy said.

"Ah, who is that?" I was surprised.

Randy said, "It's Khaki, I should have told you earlier!"

"What, Mr. Khaki!" My eyes widened, my mouth open, and I said, "How is this possible, are you kidding me?"

Randy said seriously, "I'm not kidding you, that day, I saw with my own eyes that Khaki would dagger *** your chest!"

"But...... Why did he do this?" I'm puzzled.

Muse said, "I think, I know the answer!"

"What's the answer?" My voice.

Muse said, "Because of the Heavenly Demons, the monsters created by the Harumanc family.

You must have been in contact with an infected person that caused the virus to invade your body, and if you are brought back to the royal city, then you will be a time bomb!"

"But I don't remember any contact with any infected people!" I'm confused.

Randy said, "It's supposed to be the woman we sent to the station, what's her name...... What is Lorox?"

"Miss Rox." I said.

Randy nodded and said, "yes, that guy has been coughing, and after you came into contact with her, he also developed coughing symptoms!"

"Why are you okay?" I pointed at Randy.

He spread his hands and shook his head to show that he didn't know.

Dakos said, "Most likely, it's because he practiced dark arts."

"Dark magic is very special, it can absorb and corrupt any element, it comes from the dark god Ravi Hadoros, and those who cultivate him will not be easily attacked by viruses."

Randy's realization, "I see."

I said, "So, it's because I'm infected that Khaki wants to kill me?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Randy's voice.

He said, "That guy and Spike knew each other early on, and deliberately made me let my guard down and then sneak up on me, and they all seemed to be for one thing."

"Bone vial!"

……

……

The road back to Intramuros was not easy, and along the way, Randy and I slept in the open air, and it was always raining, which caused me to sleep hard at night.

Located in the heart of the Empire, the Intramuros is the most luxurious place in the entire Empire, and we took a ride on the main road and got to this place in a hitchhiker full of silk.

The bustling streets are crowded with people, and tall buildings of all kinds emerge one after another.

I'm familiar with everything here, after all, I've been here for almost three years.

"Uh, are you sure you want me to be like this?"

In the alley, Randy uses magic to transform me.

Looking at the mirror in my hand, I was not satisfied.

What do you say about this face...... Ugly is not ugly, the hair color has not changed, but the eyes are a little smaller, much worse than the way I looked at the beginning.

"You can make do with it, I just learned the transfiguration technique not long ago, and it's good to be like this."

Looking at Randy's pockmarked face, I couldn't help but laugh.

He laughed and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

I said, "You've become so ugly, you have a pockmarked face, and the scar on the right side of your face hasn't changed."

Randy said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, you look pretty good with your hair growing."

He reached out and stroked the hair on my shoulder, smiling gently.

I blushed a little and hurriedly slapped his hand away, "You made me like this, no one should recognize me, right?"

Randy nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as it's not the Magic Eye, ordinary people can't find anything abnormal, I saw my wanted notice on the street, it's not easy to tolerate."

Alright."

"Then why, I also have to follow the disguise?" I asked.

Randy tapped me on the head and said, "You're stupid, they thought you were dead, what do you think they'd do if you popped up and were seen by their men?"

"Do what?" I'm curious.

Randy rolled his eyes and tapped me on the head again, "Killing, of course!"

"Oooh."

I touched the sore head and punched him hard, "Don't knock me on the head!"

"Then I have a chance, I'm going to spank you hard."

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing."

"I heard it, you said you were going to spank me!"

"Wow, you're so good at hearing, you can hear me so quietly!"

"Death-perversion!"

I chased after Randy, who was on the run, punching and kicking.

……

At the entrance to the palace, I stopped with Randy.

"Why, can't you get in?" Randy asked.

I nodded and said, "Yes, the entire palace is protected by a magic array, and it is heavily guarded, and my master's dormitory is inside, so I can't swagger in now."

Randy touched his chin in contemplation and asked, "Is invisibility possible?"

I shook my head, "No, even if it's a king-level stealth technique, when it touches a defensive light curtain, it will show its original form."

"Shall we come back in the evening, then?" Randy asked.

I shook my head again, "There will be a Templar patrolling at night, and their fighting spirit will spread throughout the palace, forming a cobweb-like arrangement, and the Templars will be able to detect every movement of the people inside, so we have no hope."

"Then let's go through the sewers, it's impossible for such a large palace to be without a drainage system!" Randy said.

I sighed, "Yes, but the entire sewer is guarded by a beastmaster-level demonic beast, and if you go in, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."

Randy's expression was sad, and his brow furrowed into a pimple.

I pulled him into the alley, avoiding the guards who walked nearby.

They were in groups, twenty in a column, well-dressed in battle armor.

"So, how do you get in?" Randy asked.

I stomped my foot and said impatiently, "Let me think about it!"

I hate thinking about difficult problems the most, it feels troublesome, and after thinking about it for a long time, I often can't think of a reason.

Just as Randy and I were at a loss, a hand was placed on my shoulder.

Thinking about it, I thought it was Randy's hand, and said angrily, "Dead pervert, take your hand away."

Randy said, "Take your hand away first."

I paused for a moment and looked at Randy, seeing that he was looking at me.

We looked at each other, our shoulders in horror.

I quickly turned around and saw a tall man in a wooden mask, who had appeared behind me and Randy at some unknown moment, quietly watching us.

"Hehe, if you have any difficulties, I can help you for free!"
