In the middle of the night, as promised, the emir quietly came to the door of the mansion.

Now it is late autumn, it is estimated that in another month, winter will come, and now the weather is becoming more and more gloomy, there is no bright moonlight, and the cool breeze blowing from time to time makes people shiver.

Emile remembered that he had also moved at night before, but thanks to Margaret's magic at that time, he was not too cold to walk.

But now, he didn't know if Ophelia could do similar magic, and he didn't have the right thick clothes, after all, he couldn't wear Chrysti's clothes.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth to survive the night, and then as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a man in armor standing next to the door.

"Hehe, it seems that you still remember the agreement." Ophelia sensed him from a long distance, as the Emir's ring contained traces of Lilith's magic.

"Huh? Look at what you say, I've never let anyone go. The emir said angrily.

"Well, too, you're not like that kind of person." Ophelia smiled knowingly.

Seeing that she was wearing armor and not knowing whether she was cold or not, the emir asked with concern.

"I've always wanted to ask, aren't you cold in this metal armor?"

"No, because of my long-term exercise, my body is very cold-resistant," Ophelia shook her head, then stared at his face, "Why do you ask this?" ”

"Uh......"

Emir couldn't answer for a while, and then he realized that he and Ophelia had only known each other for less than two days, and if he said that he cared about her, then the other party was likely to have unnecessary misunderstandings.

Although Ophelia is indeed beautiful, the Emir does not want to care about interpersonal matters for the time being, and does not want to be misunderstood.

"Haha, no...... It's nothing," he said with an embarrassed smile, "it's just that it's getting colder, and I can't stand it." ”

"Really? Seeing how thin you looked, didn't Rena send you clothes? Ophelia said as she reached out and touched his body.

In the Emili's opinion, this move was too intimate, but he did not dare to refuse, for fear that Ophelia would also realize the problem, and it might make the atmosphere awkward at that time.

"No, after all, the clothes in the mansion are all Chrysti's, and only the servants' clothes, and if I wore that, Pagliss would definitely have a problem with me."

Emile explained that even though Ophelia was wearing gloves, he couldn't help but get his heart racing.

In the end, fortunately Ophelia didn't see anything, and then she took out a magic ring, and released a large beautiful chest from it, about a man tall,

Emile was wondering what this was to do, and then she saw Ophelia rummaging through the box, and in a few moments she took out a rather thick coat, taupe, with white fluff on the collar, which looked quite valuable.

She then handed the dress to the emir.

"Give."

"This ...... Is this really for me? He said with wide eyes and disbelief.

After all, in his eyes, Ophelia is a very noble person, and now he actually gave him a set of clothes, his first reaction was how much is this dress worth, can he afford it?

However, Ophelia said disapprerovingly: "It's just a piece of clothing, it's not a big deal, put it on quickly, so that you won't be afraid even in winter." ”

“…… Thank you so much," said Emir, but he said worriedly, "I don't know what to ......"

"Eh, don't think too much, I'm thinking about the next action, if you lose your ability to fight because you shiver from the cold, it will drag me down at that time." Ophelia clasped her hands to her chest and said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, okay then."

The emir understood her true intentions, but did not intend to debunk her.

……

Later, with the help of Lilith, the two flew to the location of the Emir's hometown.

Dragons are worthy of being the kings of the sky, and after Lilith gained the ability to fly, she suddenly came to the air.

Emile hugged Lilith's body tightly, not daring to look down, he was a little worried about Ophelia, but he didn't have time to care about it at this time.

When Lilith finally flew smoothly, he had a chance to check on Ophelia, only to be surprised by what he saw.

I saw Ophelia standing straight on the dragon's back, assuming a comfortable pose.

"Ah......h

"Hehe, Emir, you're too embarrassed." Ophelia couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw his predicament.

The emir was immediately angry, and he was still a little worried about Ophelia's situation, but he was ridiculed instead of being a mediocre person.

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I compare to a terrifying guy like you."

"Oh? Angry? Ophelia said in a playful tone.

"Not really." The emir tilted his face to the side.

Only then did he see the scenery around him, in order to take care of the human capacity, Lilith only flew to a height of a few hundred meters, but even so, they could see the entire Blackpool Town and the surrounding mountains in full view, it was better for them to see it more clearly from the current perspective.

As Lilith flew, Emir could see that some water had gathered in the puddle in front of the city gate, and the forest beyond the battlefield was dark green, and beyond that, there were endless mountain peaks.

Emir remembered that the village of Jinshi was located in a basin surrounded by mountains, and sure enough, it was not long before he saw the village, with its tightly packed thatched houses, and the empty village square standing out even more prominently.

"Is this it?" Lilith asked, turning her head.

"Well, let's go down." The emir stared downward, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

At this moment, Ophelia put her hand on his shoulder, and Emile was startled, and then felt the other man's face close to his ear, and at the same time smelled a faint fragrance.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll protect you." Ophelia whispered.

Emile blushed to the base of his neck, and he was about to look back, only to find Ophelia had taken off his helmet at some point, and the angelic face was so close to him.

At this moment, he even held his breath, his heart beat faster than ever before, and he suspected that he would die of heart failure if he continued like this.

However, just as he continued to be stunned, Lilith had landed in the square of Goldstone Village, and Ophelia smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Here we are, boy."

"Huh? Oh. ”

The emir finally came to his senses, and after looking around, he became alert again.

He was really scared of his upcoming hometown, because he didn't dare to face it.

He had only listened to Ophelia's story before, and he hadn't confirmed it with his own eyes, so he always felt that there was still a glimmer of hope, but as they got closer and closer, he found that Jinshi Village was really uninhabited, and he had to recognize the reality.

Fortunately, Ophelia's act just now filled his mind with the scent of the other party's body, so he was no longer so nervous.

He then dismounted from Lilith's back and took her into the ring to facilitate the next move.

The village was dead silent, and unusually quiet.

In the memory of the emir, even in the middle of the night, there were always a few houses in Jinshi Village with lights on, and they were the ones who went to the village entrance vegetable market early the next morning to do business, and at this time they needed to prepare goods in advance.

Although there are only a few dozen households in Jinshi Village, there is a market where people buy supplies from each other almost every day, which is also a matter of no choice, because the road to the town is too long, and the villagers have to be self-sufficient.

But now in this case, everything that used to be was gone, and that alone made the emir's nose sour.

He followed Ophelia aimlessly through the village, sometimes opening the door of a house and inspecting the bedroom and kitchen, but there was no one to be seen.

Because it was so dark, Ophelia used it to illuminate a transparent crystal ball, which was emitting a dazzling white light, illuminating the room.

You can see that there is not a trace of damage to the furniture in the house, and there is no sign of fighting around, and it is really like Ophelia said, the villagers here seem to have evaporated from the world.

The emir did not give up, and then looked at several more houses, and the results were no different.

"By the way, Miss Ophelia, do you still smell monsters?" The emir asked casually.

"Well, it's still intense." Ophelia said thoughtfully, "However, this is very wrong, if the monster had long since left, the smell should have gradually dissipated, but now it has been several days, it doesn't make sense." ”

"Really?" "So, the monster should still be here, but we can't see it." ”

"Indeed, and the monsters didn't find us either, otherwise they would have attacked a long time ago."

"But we all have traces of magic on our bodies, won't the monsters notice?" The emir remembered this.

"Hmph, magic perception is not something that ordinary creatures can have, its threshold is not low, if it is an ordinary monster, it will definitely not find us, but I can't perceive monsters with low magic levels, so I can at least guarantee that there are no powerful wisdom species here."

"Yes, then I'll be relieved."

Emir breathed a sigh of relief, he had faced even the Dark Knight, and it was impossible for him to be afraid of ordinary monsters.

Ophelia, however, reminded him.

"Don't be in a hurry to relax, there are many types of monsters, they all have unique abilities, and even I may capsize in the gutter if I am not careful."

"Uh...... You can't be alarmist, didn't you even chase away the Dark Knight? ”

"Haha, that's what I said, but you still have to be vigilant, otherwise ......"

"Huh? Otherwise, what's wrong? ”

Emile tried to ask, but Ophelia remained silent, covering his mouth and making a silent gesture as she looked at a thatched hut in front of her.

Emir understood that she had found something not far away in the darkness, and in an instant even his heart rose to his throat, of course he was not afraid of monsters, but he had been afraid of the dark since he was a child.

In fact, he lied to Margaret before, in fact, the essence of being afraid of the dark is to be afraid of those unknown things, and he has always felt that the unknown things are the most terrifying.

At this time, Ophelia took the lighting tool and slowly approached the thatched house, and the light cast on the wall of the opposite house, and a huge shadow appeared.

The shadow took on the form of a human, stout and burly, and strangely enough, the light shone through and he did not move.

Ophelia used her magic sense, only to find that the shadow didn't react at all, it seems that she is indeed careless, maybe it is just a scarecrow.

But to make sure, she still planned to keep closer, and Emir followed closely behind her, looking nervous, and in order to prevent an emergency, he drew the holy sword.
