Chapter 36: Jealousy

Leah's mood gradually calmed down, and Lambert took Leah's hand and came to the streets of the Heron District, where most of the monsters had been killed, and there were still a few people who were still attacking the passing humans.

"You wait here, protect yourself, I'll come when I go." Lambert let go of Leah's hand and raised his demonic sword and sprinted in the direction of the demon.

"You damned brutes, pay for the dead!" Lambert roared.

Since there was no high-level demon leader like the demon warrior in this attack, Lambert and the others quickly hunted down all the demons present.

Lambert searched for Nicole on the battlefield, only to find her alone in the corner, gasping for air.

"Nicole, why are you here, Blue?" Lambert came up to Nicole and asked.

Nicole didn't react when she heard Lambert's words, still keeping her head down and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sister Nicole? Why do you ignore me? Seeing that Nicole ignored him, Lambert was a little confused, and he crouched in front of Nicole and dangled his hand in front of Nicole's eyes.

Nicole slapped Lambert's hand open, still muttering, "Leave me alone, I'm fine resting here." ”

Lambert was confused when he heard this, he couldn't understand what happened to Nicole, she was fine just now, why she ignored herself in a blink of an eye.

Before Lambert could continue to ask, a crisp and lovely girl's voice came from behind him:

"Brother Lambert, you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time." It turned out that Leah had come looking for her again.

Lambert turned around and said to Leah, "Didn't I let you stay over there, why did you come here again, by the way, let me introduce you, this is... Hey? What about people? ”

When Lambert turned around, he found that Nicole, who had been sitting there, had suddenly disappeared.

"Did you say that sister? She looked a little upset just now, and then turned around and left. Leah replied to Lambert.

At this time, no matter how stupid Lambert is, he can roughly guess why Nicole ignored him, and it must have been seen by Nicole that Leah was crying in his arms just now, so he ignored himself. Nicole had said to herself when she was attacked by the demon fox that this kind of thing should not happen again, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to not only happen, but also happened right in front of Nicole's eyes, and now Lambert jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.

But Lambert has nothing to explain, and if he tries to explain this kind of thing, it will only get darker and darker.

"Let's calm her down for a while." Lambert sighed and muttered to himself.

Lambert and Leah then return to Leah's home, where Lambert helps Leah take her father's body to a quiet wooded area outside the city, where she buries the man's body under a willow tree.

"I hope he can stop gambling in the next life and be able to live happily ever after." Leah looked at her father's grave in front of her and whispered.

No matter how much grief there is, she has to face it eventually, and now not only has she lost her mother, but even her father is no longer alive, and her sheltered home has been turned into a pile of ruins because of the wolf demon.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Lambert asked, standing beside Leah.

"I don't know, I'm in a mess right now, and I don't know what to do in the future." Leah lowered her head and whispered.

"My family, it's the rose tavern I told you about last time, there is a lack of help with chores, if you don't dislike it, you can stay there for a while now, anyway, my parents are very good, including food and accommodation, at least it won't make you hungry, would you like to come?" Lambert asked, leaning against the tree with his hands behind his head.

"Yes, of course I do, where can I go if I don't? It would be nice to be around Brother Lambert. Leah suddenly raised her head, blushing slightly and said to Lambert.

"Well, that's it." Lambert nodded.

"Hey, there was already a misunderstanding in itself, and now I'm taking her to the Rose Tavern, I'm afraid that Sister Nicole's misunderstanding won't have a chance to explain and it will get deeper and deeper... Forget it, let's take it one step at a time...", Lambert silently said in his heart.

At this time, reinforcements from all the major empires have gathered at St. Mayad's Castle, Bloodhoof Owen is sitting on the main seat, and sitting next to him are Fira, the number one demon hunter in the Alc continent, and the chief steward Kidd, the witch Zyra is not among them, Owen still intends to continue to hide her for a while.

Sitting in the rest of the seats were the seventy-level demon hunter Geraint from the Ostro Empire, the forty-seventh level demon hunter Jace from Elnika and two demon hunters above level fifty, and Mel, the vice president of the Wizards Association, although this lineup is not the top lineup on the Ark Continent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest combat force that the human race has formed in the past thirty years.

"Alright guys, first of all, thank you for gathering in the city of St. Mayad in our Ottoid Empire to discuss how to deal with the demons, some of you here are old acquaintances of mine, and you all know me as a person. If it weren't for the point I'm getting to now, I, Owen, really wouldn't want to accept help from others. This just proves that our Ostic Empire is indeed in great trouble now, as you know, during this time, our Ostic Empire has already conquered three cities, including a city with a developed mining industry and a granary. Fira and I have thought of a lot of countermeasures together, but it seems that we have seen through it, and the demons can always avoid our main force. So I also thought, it is better to form an elite team of a few of us present, and guard the places where the demons may attack, and everyone present is someone I can definitely trust, and presumably our battle plan will not flow out because of this, so under my trade-off, this should be our more reasonable choice at present. So what do you think? Bloodhoof Owen raised his glass and said to everyone present.

"As Your Majesty said, I suspect that there is an inner ghost who secretly communicates with demons within the Oss Empire, we all know that every war with demons is not just a gain or loss of a city and a pool, but more importantly, every battle is actually related to the life and death of human beings on the Ark Continent, we have no capital to lose, and human beings are weak in front of demons, so everyone must understand the importance of this war." Fira then snapped.
