In the council hall of the castle lord's mansion, a knight in white armor was sitting upright on a chair.

This was the third day she had accepted Lydia's request to stay and look after Emir.

For the past few days, apart from three meals a day and the necessary daily activities, she has been staying here, and sometimes in order to confirm the condition of the emir, she will go to the bedroom to check on it herself.

At this point, she didn't know that the emir had woken up, so she thought about taking a little rest and going to check on the situation.

Now, there was only one old butler left in the city lord's mansion, and in order to keep the mansion going, he specially recruited a maid to come in.

It was thanks to the young maid that the knight did not sleep in the open, after all, if there was no one to cook, she would have to go to the forest outside the city to pick wild fruits to eat.

However, this is also the current predicament of this town, in the three days after the Dark Knight left, because the entire town was less than a hundred people, they were originally pampered rich people, without workers, naturally unable to produce materials, so they had to face a shortage of food.

The white knight thought that when the emir woke up, they would discuss the matter together, but for her, the future of this town did not need to worry about her, she just had to complete Lydia's commission and leave directly, but this was obviously not the behavior of a knight.

This white knight is very powerful, but she is also not good at dealing with things, that is, governing the town, so this matter can only be solved by the emir, which is why Lydia proposed to make the emir the lord of the city after gathering the people.

The rest of the people didn't have any opinions, they only knew that Lydia was a knight, so they just followed the knight's orders.

At this time, the white knight was still wearing the helmet that looked impermeable, of course, she herself felt stuffy, but she was afraid of revealing her unique appearance, so she kept wearing it.

At this point, she saw that no one was coming, so she decided to take off her helmet and take a big breath of fresh air.

The white knight's face under the helmet was simply unbelievably beautiful, the silver hair was spread out, the dark red eyes seemed to be flickering with light, the skin was fair and delicate, and the brows were slightly frowned, revealing a serious look.

However, she was about to take a deep breath when she suddenly smelled a familiar smell, because her sense of smell was far beyond normal people.

Before she could react, a figure pushed the door open and entered.

When the emir came in, he saw a strange woman sitting there, probably in her twenties, and he was stunned for a moment.

He had heard Rena say that the white knight was here, so he hurried over, but it turned out to be an unfamiliar face, and he thought he was in the wrong place.

"Ah, this ......," the emir quickly closed the door and looked outside, "the council hall is here." ”

"Ahem, Emir, you're finally awake." The white knight did not hide it either, and revealed his true face directly in front of the emir.

When the emir saw the white armor of the other party, he immediately understood that it was the white knight who appeared in front of him.

However, he was still shocked, although the white knight had shown his fair-skinned hand when he had rescued Lilith before, and he had guessed that the other party might be a woman, and he had not been confirmed until he had seen it with his own eyes.

And after she took off her helmet, even her voice changed, before it was a neutral voice that couldn't distinguish between genders, but now it was obviously a gentle and soft female voice, which sounded like a spring breeze.

"You ......" Emir didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry I didn't show my true face at first," said the white knight, standing up from his chair and apologetically, "I'm a knight under Ophelia Taranka. ”

At this moment, the emir was even more overwhelmed, not only by Ophelia's beauty, but also because she was willing to say her name at this time.

Obviously, when they met for the first time, she still looked very embarrassed and didn't want to reveal it.

So why did she open her heart at this time, and even be willing to show her true face? Emile thought to himself, could it be that this knight had developed a crush on him?

"No, no, how is that possible." The emir shook his head, dispelling the thought.

"Huh? How is it possible? Ophelia asked, tilting her head slightly.

When Emir saw her move, for some reason, her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and she had a vague feeling of happiness.

"No, nothing." The emir quickly lowered his head, and he only felt that his cheeks were a little hot.

"Emile," Ophelia said suddenly, "I beg you to keep my appearance a secret, or else it is likely to cause a mass riot." ”

"Huh? Why? Emir looked at her in disbelief, and then realized that her ears were pointed, and asked, "Well, with all due respect, what's the matter with your ears?" ”

"Well, let's not hide it, in fact, I'm ...... Genie. ”

“…… Hey? The emir's eyes widened.

"Don't be so surprised, it's the legendary elf, if you look a little closer, you will find that I don't need a magic array at all when I use magic, and in addition, red eyes and pointed ears are the main characteristics of elves." Ophelia explained.

"I see." The emir stared at her, and now there was nothing but awe in his heart.

He had read in storybooks before that there was a very mysterious race in this land, the elves, who were rumored to have the same appearance as humans, but they were all extremely beautiful, well-proportioned, and behaved very elegantly, they often possessed powerful magical powers, and an infinite lifespan, and once they reached adulthood, their appearance would not change again.

However, the reason why the emir is in awe of the elves is because they are not perfect, but rather a little arrogant, although it is not a big disadvantage, they are more accustomed to showing their arrogant side to humans, and seem to be very unfriendly to humans, so in comparison to weaker humans, they can only avoid them as much as possible.

But the strange thing is that although Ophelia is an elf, she is very approachable, will draw a sword to help those in distress, and is very polite to others.

Perhaps seeing Emir's question, Ophelia smiled and told the truth.

"Actually, it's not accurate to say that I'm an elf, because I used to be a human being, and it was at that time that I got the status of a knight, after all, a foreigner can't become a knight, and then I became an elf because of a certain opportunity, if I have to say, I should be a half-elf."

"Huh? Can humans become elves too? ”

"Well," Ophelia nodded, "but the process was dangerous, and I was only lucky enough to make the transition." ”

When she said this, her face became a lot of vicissitudes, and it seemed that she had experienced a lot of pain in order to become an elf.

"Really?"

The emir didn't know what had happened to her, and he didn't dare to ask, after all, it was someone's private matter, and his relationship with Ophelia was not good enough to be free to ask.

"But what did you say you had to keep it a secret?" Amir suddenly brought up the stubble.

Ophelia couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard him ask.

"Think about it, the elves are a legendary race, they have great power, and they generally have a bad impression of humans, humans will naturally be jealous of them, and even speculate about them with the most evil thoughts, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I can only try my best to hide my identity, but, to be honest, all humans must be good people? Not really, so in the same way, although the elves left a proud impression on humans when they first came into contact with humans, this does not mean that all elves are like this. ”

"Well, that's right, for example, you're very kind." The emir agreed.

However, when he said this, he regretted it a little, because it seemed to be a kind of sycophancy.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment," Ophelia didn't hear anything else, and then asked with a concerned expression, "Let's not talk about this, are you feeling better?" ”

Because she was cared for by such a beautiful woman, the emir seemed overwhelmed.

"Oh, good...... I'm better, I should have slept for a long time, right? ”

"Indeed, counting the day you fell, you slept for three days and three nights."

"Oh," said the emir, thoughtfully, and then got to the point, "by the way, Lydia's letter should be kept with you, may you show it to me?" ”

"Of course." Ophelia pulled out an envelope from the side of her breastplate and handed it to the Emir.

This armor is larger than her figure, and the design does not highlight feminine features, so it is difficult to distinguish her gender.

When the emir opened the envelope, he read the letter, and saw that it read:

I'm sorry, Emir, I left without saying goodbye to you, but I really have something important to do, Margaret belongs to an organization of witches called Pandora's Box, and that forbidden spell was created by her companions, so I'm sure her companions must have a way to save her, fortunately, Ophelia happened to hear about this organization created in the imperial capital of Castia, so I decided to go to the royal capital next, and I must apologize to you again for this, I promised Seon before that I would compensate you well, But now that Sain is gone, I can no longer fulfill my agreement, but you can rest assured, I will remember the three compensation for Sain, that is to say, I owe you six compensations, if you are lucky, we may meet in the royal capital, and then I will fulfill the agreement, in addition, I am good at asserting and making you the city lord, although the situation in Heitan Town is very serious, but I believe that with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to find a way to solve it, I sincerely look forward to you becoming a great city lord...... Okay, that's it for now, and we'll talk about it when we meet again, and good luck at the end!

The last byline is, Your Forever Friend: Lydia Frost.

After reading this farewell letter, Emir's heart could not be calm for a long time, he did not expect that Lydia still remembered their agreement, it was obviously just a joke at the time, and now it seems that in this world except for Sain, Lydia is the only one who is so good to him.

Rather than being angry at Lydia for dumping the mess on him, Emir made up his mind that he would impress Lydia and become a qualified city lord when they met again.

"What's wrong? Seeing that you are moved, would you like to share it with me? Ophelia joked.

"Haha, it's nothing," the emir scratched her head and giggled, then handed the letter to her, "Here, read for yourself." ”

Ophelia naturally didn't really look at it, but from the Emir's actions, it could be seen that he trusted her.

In return for that trust, she decided to stop in the town for a while to help the Emir through her predicament, and although she still had an important business ahead of her, she must not go against her principles.

"Emir, you can find a place to sit, after all, you are the biggest here, and you can't stand and talk to me." Ophelia said with a smile.

"No, no, I don't dare to put on the shelf of the city lord." The emir hurriedly waved his hand, but still found a place to sit down.

"Now, I'd like to tell you about the current state of the town." Ophelia's expression turned serious.

"Hmm." The emir nodded solemnly.

Now he has really become the last hope of this town, but at this time he actually no longer feels pressure, maybe he has become more mature after this battle, even if the pressure is as great as a mountain, he has a reason to persevere.

However, after listening to Ophelia's story, Emir's face became more solemn, he had to find a way to solve the problems of the lives of these dozens of people, the fortifications of the town, and whether the demons would still attack, but he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Ophelia looked at him with a sad face, and comforted him.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what you think, just do it, anyway, I will assist you for the time being, as for the affairs of the demons, you don't have to worry, I even drove away the dark knight, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with a few monsters."

“…… Haha, that's what I said, but the next few days are really going to trouble you, and I don't know how to repay you. ”

"Don't be so polite, I didn't help you in return." Ophelia chuckled.

"That's not going to work, it's your business whether you need anything in return, but I'm at least going to express my due gratitude," said Emir, "so be it, I owe you a favor...... Uh, no, you saved me in the forest last time, so it's two favors, anyway, if there's anything you need me to do, I'm going to die. ”

"Haha."

Ophelia couldn't help but laugh, but she wasn't laughing at Emir, because according to normal logic, she was so powerful that even she needed help, how could Emir do it?

In fact, she was sincerely pleased, and the emir must have known better if he could not help her, but even so, he had made such bold statements.

Hearing her laugh, Emile couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he thought that Ophelia would laugh at his inadequacy.

At this time, he was still holding the envelope in his hand, and because of embarrassment, he unconsciously clenched the envelope, and as a result, he felt some kind of hard object in it.

He poured out the contents of the envelope and found that it was actually a necklace, and he remembered that it was originally a magic prop used by Margaret to seal the body tissues of the monster, and for some reason it appeared in the envelope.

It was not difficult for him to think that this must have been left by Lydia on purpose, probably because he thought that it might be helpful to deal with the demons next.

However, Ophelia looked at the necklace and used her magic perception a little, and found that it contained powerful magic, but it was nothing, the key was that she smelled a strong monster breath.

"Emir, what's sealed in there?" She asked with a serious look on her face.

"This?" Emir handed her the necklace and said, "This is Margaret's thing, and it is sealed with the body tissue of a monster, and it is said to be a demon god. ”

"What? Demon God? Ophelia was amazed.

"yes, what's the problem?"

The emir wondered, wondering if this demon god was something dangerous. There was only one tentacle left.

"Of course," Ophelia's expression changed to irrepressible delight, and then she said, "I heard you're a forger, right?" ”

"Haha, not really, although it is true that you can forge a good quality weapon." Emir said, scratching his head.

"Oh, don't be modest at this time, I've heard Lydia say it, anyway, since you can forge weapons, then come with me."

"Huh? Where to? ”

"Weapons Workshop."
