On the other side, Lydia is still fighting on the battlefield.

After a while, those monsters were still making annoying noises, and the powerful sword skills were also quickly draining their physical strength, and Lydia gradually became a little overwhelmed.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that she has come into contact with fewer and fewer monsters.

"Are they scared?" She couldn't help but think so.

However, when she stopped and took a look at the battlefield, she found that most of the monsters were standing not far away, their mouths wide open and their shrill roars.

These monsters formed an encirclement, encircling the entire battlefield, and no longer launched useless attacks like before.

At this moment, she realized that the tactics of the demons had changed again, and after discovering that she was the only one on the battlefield, because she couldn't help her for a while, she decided to wait for work.

Lydia stuck her sword in the ground and gasped for air, the anger in her heart dissipated and was replaced by a constant sense of exhaustion.

The group of monsters had no intention of attacking, and the annoying noise kept echoing on the battlefield, making her quite anxious.

"It's annoying."

Perhaps hearing Lydia's complaints, the monsters suddenly fell silent, but instead of retreating, they continued to maintain the encirclement.

Lydia didn't understand the intention, so she had to stare at them vigilantly, although she no longer had the physical strength to attack, she still had the strength to stand still and resist.

After a stalemate like this for a while, there was a sudden change behind the group of monsters, and I saw several monsters scatter one after another, opening a gap in the encirclement.

Walking out of that path was a strange figure, obviously a new monster, they were tall, thin, not legs under their feet, but dozens of tentacles, slender limbs, their heads seemed to be wearing a black mask, and their facial features were painted on them, but their eyes were closed, giving people a solemn feeling.

"What the hell."

Lydia was secretly frightened, this monster looked too weird.

This should be the third wave of offensive sent by the demons, and from the appearance of the primordial species, it should be more difficult to deal with than the two waves that appeared just now.

With the appearance of this monster, the other humanoid monsters also opened the gap, allowing the primordial species behind to come forward.

Lydia was jealous of this, firstly because she was not yet aware of the abilities of this new type of monster, and secondly, her physical strength had bottomed out, and there was no way to continue fighting.

What's even more desperate is that after the humanoid monster took the initiative to give way to the battlefield, it moved to the rear of the demon team, and the encirclement was maintained, as if it wanted to cut off her back path, and at the same time, those primordial species were still getting closer.

Lydia thought that she was really going to die this time, but she had already realized that she would see death as home, and as long as she could kill a few more monsters at the end of her life, she would not feel pity.

Dozens of primordial monsters all advanced next to each other, disgusting tentacles writhing and then entwining with each other.

Lydia subconsciously put on an offensive stance, wanting to release her sword skills, but before she could finish accumulating her strength, her limbs became extremely heavy, and a sense of powerlessness swept through her body, and she couldn't even hold the sword in her hand.

"Hehe, it seems that there is too much physical overdraft." Lydia couldn't help but smile wryly.

Then, less than ten meters away from her, a monster took the lead in attacking, raising its slender arm, which then continued to extend, and soon came to her.

At this time, Lydia realized that the monster's arms were also tentacles, but they were thinner than the tentacles under her feet.

She dragged her heavier and heavier body, barely dodging the attack, but she didn't expect that the tentacle would actually turn around and continue to pursue her, and at the same time, the other monsters also stretched out their tentacles.

No matter how flexible she was, she couldn't escape from this overwhelming encirclement, and soon, countless tentacles grabbed her body.

Although she was wearing a well-protected armor, the strange thing was that those slender tentacles seemed to be corrosive, and after touching the armor, they actually caused many filamentous cracks.

Because the tentacles were not very powerful, Lydia was still able to move, so she hurriedly raised her sword and cut off the tentacles in front of her, but this did not do much, and the broken tentacles quickly recovered, and then continued to pick at her armor.

With the restraint of the tentacles, the monster's body also got closer and closer, and finally surrounded Lydia, and she couldn't escape from it.

As the distance became closer, Lydia could faintly hear the voices made by these monsters, as if they were chanting something, and the speed of speech was very fast, and if you listened carefully, it would make you feel like it was infiltrating.

Faced with this overwhelming situation, Lydia had no choice but to lift her sword, let alone unleash her sword skills.

Many of the tentacles had pierced through the armor and touched her skin, and her hairs stood on end in an instant.

It was a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like countless insects crawling on the body, and as if something had burrowed into the brain and gnawed inside.

“…… No, don't. ”

Intense fear exploded in Lydia's mind, and even those as strong as she did, a look of despair.

However, when her consciousness was about to dissipate, the surroundings of her body suddenly became warmer, and the discomfort caused by the tentacles quickly disappeared.

Intrigued, she looked around and found herself enveloped in a green glow.

"This, this is ......"

Lydia knew that this was definitely not caused by monsters, but a power that could warm people's hearts, and even have a familiar feeling.

Gradually, the monster horde began to stir, and their tentacles disappeared for some reason, no, to be precise, they were wiped out by some kind of force.

Immediately afterwards, those slender monsters were all cut off by a powerful force, and the tentacles that kept writhing lost their vitality and collapsed to the ground.

Just as Lydia was feeling strange, a gentle voice appeared in her ears.

"It's all right, Lord Lydia."

"You, you're ...... Margaret? ”

Lydia's eyes widened in surprise, she could hear it, but she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, because she was already overwhelmed by the green light, and she could only faintly see a figure beside her.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lydia, I'm late."

"It's okay, I'm grateful to have you here......" Lydia disagreed, but soon had questions, "Eh, wait, why are you here?" ”

"Hehe, what stupid thing are you talking about, of course I'm here to save you."

Margaret chuckled softly, her voice as reassuring as ever.

"But I ...... before"

Lydia wanted to say that she had driven her away and was not qualified to let her come to her rescue, but Margaret interrupted her.

"Lord Lydia, don't you understand? No matter what you do to me, I will not ignore you because I ...... I've always loved you. ”

“…… What, what? ”

Lydia was dumbfounded, not understanding what she meant.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that, we need to get rid of these disgusting guys." Margaret smiled and changed the subject.

"Oh."

Lydia had no choice but to deal with the monster seriously, and unexpectedly, she was able to pick up the sword with ease, not only that, but she felt that her body was lighter than ever, and all the tiredness was swept away.

"It's your magic, too, right?"

"Well, this is the healing magic of the wind attribute, and it's a piece of cake for me."

Margaret's tone was soft, but she could still hear a sense of pride.

"Really? Thank you. ”

"Well, you're welcome," Margaret said, retracting the green light that enveloped Lydia, "let's go, let's fight back together." ”

It was only then that Lydia finally saw Margaret's appearance, and unlike a few days ago, she was now completely changed.

It's not just as simple as taking off the maid's costume and then changing into a magician's outfit, but the mental outlook is different from the cowering introverted girl before, but is full of confidence and high morale.

Speaking of outfits, it is already late autumn, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but Margaret's clothes are quite revealing, with a pale green top and an ankle-length skirt, which is very thin, and you can see the girl's beautiful figure, the clothes have no sleeves, both arms are exposed, and what is eye-catching is the abdomen that is exposed, with tight but delicate muscles, and you can see the traces of regular exercise.

"Wait, are you really Margaret?"

Lydia saw her and was a little unsure.

"Of course, it was because I had to work in the manor before, so I couldn't be too conspicuous, but now it's different, I'm the legendary Jade Witch, so I naturally have to look like a witch."

"What, what?"

It wasn't the first time Lydia had heard such a name, and she couldn't help but think back to when she met Margaret.

……

It was a year ago, when it had been raining for a long time, but it was just clear, but it was still dark, and there was a gloomy atmosphere over the whole town.

Lydia naturally hated this kind of weather, thinking that she would finally be able to go to the square to practice swordsmanship without raining, but she didn't expect that the bad weather would still make her feel bad.

She had to stay at home, but after a long time, she got bored, so she began to wander the streets after the rain.

The passers-by on the road looked at her with envy when they saw her wearing knight's armor, but there were still people who showed disdain, just because of her woman.

Lydia couldn't bear this, and immediately glared back fiercely, only to find that the man was the janitor of a restaurant, and he was a tall, muscular man, with a beard on the side of his mouth, and two crossed scars on his face.

Lydia subconsciously looked at the signboard of the restaurant, but it didn't matter, and she became angry when she saw it.

Because she was miserable by this restaurant when she didn't become a knight, the money she saved from odd jobs everywhere was originally going to buy a birthday gift for her grandfather, but it was forcibly bought and sold by the waiter.

At that time, she was soft-spoken, even if she began to learn martial arts at a very young age, it was not impossible to teach profiteers a lesson, but she always wanted to be a knight, so she consciously abided by knightly etiquette and would not be rude to ordinary people.

Although I finally figured it out, knights are not so cowardly, and should be jealous and hateful, but that is all after entering the barracks and becoming a knight, as a member of the knights under the command of Christy, she must be restrained in everything she says and does, let alone do anything to civilians.

"Hmph, sure enough, what kind of restaurant has what kind of dog." Lydia sneered.

The man seemed to have a bad ear, and did not respond to Lydia's sarcasm, but gave her a contemptuous look before going to work.

Lydia couldn't do anything about it, and she was about to leave when she saw a figure pass by and walk straight to the restaurant.

Lydia looked back at the man, and saw that the other party was a thin girl, probably about her age, perhaps a traveler on the way, the girl was wrapped in a brown robe from head to toe, but she was already soaked, and besides, she was barefoot, covered in mud.

For such a girl who looks very embarrassed, Lydia guessed that she would not have much money, if she entered this restaurant, it is estimated that she will be more than lucky, if she is a little beautiful, she will undoubtedly be sold to the Fengyue place, if not, she will also be locked up here to work in the dark, and she will never see the light of day again.

Out of chivalry, Lydia followed the girl into the restaurant, and soon she saw that the girl was stopped by a burly man, who looked up and down, and concluded that it must be a beggar of unknown origin, and naturally there was no oil or water to squeeze.

And looking at the small body, it is estimated that the black work is enough to choke, so I wanted to blast the girl out directly, but unexpectedly, the girl actually took out a sparkling necklace and shook it in front of the man.

The sharp-eyed man immediately saw that there were a lot of gems inlaid on it, and his dim eyes suddenly flashed, and he quickly nodded to the girl, and then respectfully invited her to sit in.

When Lydia saw this scene, she couldn't help but have an idea, how could that necklace, even if a nobleman like her family didn't own, be on a sloppy girl? It can't be stolen, right?

Of course, as a knight, she couldn't be suspicious for no reason, so she decided to find a place to sit down and continue to observe the development.

Because the girl was the first to come in, a male waiter immediately ran over to entertain her, and after confirming the order, he hurried to the back kitchen.

A few minutes later, there was a table full of dishes in front of the girl, and Lydia thought it was incredible, how could so many dishes be made in a few minutes, but if you think about it carefully, with the habits of this restaurant, it must have been prepared in advance, and I don't know how long it will take.

However, the girl only cared about gobbling up, apparently hungry for a long time, and did not care if the food spoiled.

Lydia was stunned until the waiter reminded her to order.

She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the waiter's displeased eyes, she chose to compromise, after all, a conflict at this time would probably disrupt her plans.

“…… Then give me a drink. ”

"Is one cup enough? The little girl over there ordered such a big table. ”

"Huh? Are you teaching me to do things? I just want to have a drink, what's wrong? Lydia was impatient.

The waiter saw that she was wearing armor and apparently guessed that she was from the Knights, but strangely, he did not retreat at all, but glared at her.

Lydia looked at his arrogant appearance and thought to herself that she must be very hard backstage, but she is not easy to bully.

Just as the two sides were tense, the girl's cough broke the embarrassing situation, it should be a problem with eating, only to see the girl's face in pain, and quickly put her hand into her throat to induce vomiting.

Of course Lydia knew what was going on, she had heard that the food in this restaurant was unhygienic, and that it was summer, so there must be maggots or cockroaches or something.

The girl finally spat the foreign object on the ground, only to find that several maggots appeared in the food residue, and they were picked on a rotten piece of chicken, no wonder it felt disgusting to eat.

"What's going on?"

The girl's voice was crisp, but strangely, there was no anger in her tone, but a little weakness.

Hearing this, the waiter did not stalemate with Lydia, but walked over with a very spirited look.

"Yo, it seems that this guest is not satisfied with our service." The waiter said in a weird way.

"But, there seems to be something wrong with your food."

The girl whispered, her eyes dodging, not daring to look at the waiter's aggressive appearance.

"Hmph, anyway, you'll have to pay for the food you order today." The waiter knows that he is wrong, but he is not forgiving.

"Well, I'm really hungry, please can you give me something to eat." The girl lowered her head and said weakly.

"Well, you can do it, but you have to add money, and if you have money, it's easy to say anything."

"I see, how about I mortgage this necklace to you?" The girl said, intending to pull out the necklace she had just had.

But the strange thing is that she searched all over her body and couldn't find the necklace, and in the end she could only show an expression that was about to cry.

"Tsk, what's the matter with you? How did the money come in? ”

The waiter was furious, and he looked at the janitor outside, wanting to blame the other party for his poor eyes, how to let such a poor bastard in.

At this time, Lydia also wondered why the necklace on the girl's body was missing, she followed the waiter's line of sight, and found that the big man actually raised the necklace in his hand with a proud look.

It seems that she was taken by the hand at some point, and Lydia can't help but admire, this method has not even been discovered by her, a knight.

It is a terrible thing for such a person to only know how to do this kind of thing.

The waiter was about to get angry, but he didn't expect the big man to run away without looking back with the necklace, as if the value of the necklace was very expensive, and it was no longer worth it for him to work for the restaurant.

The waiter knew that he couldn't catch up, so he slapped the table hard, startling the girl.

"Since you don't have the money to pay the bill, what do you say?"

The girl flinched back, but the waiter grabbed her slender arm.

At this time, Lydia finally couldn't stand it, no matter where the girl's necklace came from, in this situation, if she didn't make a move, would she still be human?

"Hey, let me go." Lydia let out a loud shout.

The waiter immediately looked at her, the strength in his hand was even greater, and the girl's tears came out, but she couldn't break free.

"What's the matter with you, don't worry, if you don't want to order any good food, see how I clean you up later." The waiter said viciously.

“…… Ha? ”

Lydia was really speechless this time, she felt very strange, how much confidence this guy had to dare to be so disrespectful to the knight.

So, without saying a word, she drew her sword and slashed at the waiter, who grabbed the girl's arm, but the other party was very clever and immediately let go, and the speed was definitely not slower than Lydia's.

"Really, I wondered, why do you have to do something hurtful when you are all extraordinary?"

"You, what do you want, I can tell you, I have someone among the nobles."

The waiter's tone trembled, he didn't expect the other party to really do it, but he understood now that Lydia was different from those knights who were full of etiquette.

"Hmph, whatever you want, anyway, I'm going to take this girl away today, see who dares to stop me." Lydia said stiffly.

"You ......"

The waiter naturally dared not speak out, and finally compromised.

Then Lydia took the girl's hand and walked out of the restaurant, and later arranged for her a job at the manor.

This girl is Margaret, and later according to her, she is a magician apprentice, and she came to Blackpool Town to find her teacher, and her teacher is a very powerful witch, known as the "Emerald Witch".

It was only now that Lydia realized that it was Margaret who had lied, and that she was the real Emerald Witch.
