13. The cultivation that should be in the den of thieves
Embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Compared to Charlotte, who became casual after returning to "home", Lilith now longs to find a small dark room to lock herself in.
Loki and Ashmill had long been aware of the strange atmosphere and had made excuses in advance not to know where they had slipped away, although Lilith wanted to do the same...... But......
If you say it yourself, you have to do it even with tears in your eyes. Therefore, the scene naturally evolved into Lilith facing a crowd of ...... It's basically the enemy guys who are in a daze.
Pandora was met at the beginning, and now she is the first to greet herself, and ...... It is also the culprit who makes himself noticed by everyone. If she could, I wish she had left herself alone.
However, after not seeing each other for a long time, Pandora has changed a little, if she used to look tense, now she seems to be a lot more relaxed. If the reason is concerned, it probably comes down to the one who has been dragging her hand...... A little boy who looks about her age.
"Hello. β
Epimetheus bowed politely to Lilith, then acquiesced to Pandora's movements with a shy smile on her face.
Although it's hard to imagine why Pandora would fall in love with one...... It looks like a soft boy, but judging from Pandora's behavior and demeanor, it shouldn't have been done on purpose.
However, compared to Epimetheus, his sister is really a little unapproachable, and it seems that she is not only cold to herself, but even in the face of Charlotte, Prometheus did not give her a good look.
Not a word was spoken. Just looking at himself coldly. It's like a body search, after looking at your whole body. She looked away as if she had lost interest, and looked like no one would bother her. But even so, she is not the most "difficult" one.
Really, the toughest guy here...... Now I'm hiding in the corner, looking at myself with half of my face exposed.
......
β...... What are you doing there? β
Charlotte had apparently noticed the scene behind her, and the moment she turned around, Lilith clearly noticed that Charlotte was trembling unconsciously.
If it's at night, it's probably thought to be some kind of ghost.
"Nope. Lord Lilith, if you approach rashly...... The smell of my body ......"
Gul'dan, who was stuck in the corner, looked at Charlotte intently, "You're going to be disgusted, so ......"
"Let me come!"
"Well, yes. β
Soon, Gul'dan, who didn't hold out much, came to Lilith's side, and of course, a strange, even a little disgusting smell came to Lilith's face. I don't want to think about it, but I ...... I'm afraid this is only for those who have died. Special rancid smell.
Obviously Gul'dan doesn't look so ugly, but ...... It was as if she had never bathed. The hair that was so dirty that it was impossible to see the primary color had been glued together piece by piece, and the face and hands were covered with dust and dirt accumulated over the years. The only clothes that could barely be considered clean not only did not make Gul'dan any better overall, but only accentuated the dirt on her body.
A pair of eyes like dead fish eyes, only when facing Charlotte, will bloom a little brighter.
Doesn't this guy have the consciousness to take a bath, although from her appearance, she can really think of the alchemist who brought the plague to this land a long time ago, and is slandered by the world.
"Thankfully. β
Charlotte thanked Prometheus, although he didn't get much of a response, "The next job is to clean up those things outside." As for her words...... You should be clear. β
"Hmm...... You, you howl?"
Ah, damn it, so nervous to bite your tongue.
Pandora grinned and waved at Lilith, while Epimetheus nodded in friendliness with a very formal nod. As for the other two, they were still the same as before, and those who should have had a cold face were still cold-faced, and Gul'dan's gaze never left Charlotte at all.
"...... during this time"
Charlotte was silent for a while, but quickly relaxed, "During this time, there is no difference between her and me, understand?"
"Understood!"
Pandora was the first to roar.
This time Prometheus finally moved, though it wasn't a reassuring reaction for Lilith.
She has been cold-faced, her eyes at the moment as if she was going to cut Charlotte with a thousand knives, and after Charlotte greeted her without hesitation and looked at her for a while, this cold beauty seemed to give up on something and no longer cared about Charlotte.
Although he unexpectedly enjoyed the honor given to him by Charlotte, he ...... No matter how you look at it, the power behind this honor is not so easy to use.
......
"Well, the pile of bones out there is the work of the Black Rabbit, and I'll put that aside for now, Gul'dan, tell me what are those things running around on the ground?"
Except for the bone dragon, it is basically a monster that can be determined to be an enemy. This was naturally one of the things Lilith wanted to know.
Monsters that look like animals, but are different from animals.
"It's an animal that haunts the neighborhood. β
Gul'dan quickly gave the answer in a gloomy and hoarse tone, "But I'm sorry Lord Lilith, although I wanted to capture it, but I was hindered by the surrounding ...... No, no, no, it's all my fault, I'm already introspecting. β
...... This preconceived sense of humility is really strong. This guy, don't worship Charlotte as a god.
"But I already know their situation, these monsters were originally animals that lived nearby, and with the arrival of the bone dragon, they also mutated for some reasons, which is embodied in the proliferation of the body and the change of habits. β
"Whew, thank you. β
"No...... No, that, that's what I'm supposed to do. β
Guldan, who had received a very ordinary thanks, looked as excited as a minion who had been rewarded with a bunch of gold, silver and jewels by the emperor, waving his hands and trembling in response.
"I'm sorry Lilith-sama, but the 'new humans' are really not able to play a role against bone dragons, their bones are less hard, and they can be infected by some unknown substances. β
"It's all 'rubbish'. β
Pandora took over, "Well, anyway, a guy like you who only knows alchemy won't understand." That's why those cute little animals have become 'big tigers'. Okay, okay, okay, my dear has made a detailed plan, do you want to hear it?"
Your expression is simply to say: If you don't listen, let me die.
Soon, Epimetheus, who had been strongly recommended by Pandora, stood up with a little wriggling, and after taking a few deep breaths, he took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on in front of his eyes. And he himself, at this moment, also had a lot of wisdom.
Ah, speaking of which, he is also a "king", how can he be in a high position without talent?
"In view of the fact that the 'new humans' will fall inexplicably, I have asked some of the angels who will not be affected to investigate, but unfortunately, there are already many bone dragons and the strange creatures just mentioned around us. Their habitat is mostly near cities and is basically ...... There's no way to escape, and of course, you wouldn't want to. β
"What do you think?"
Charlotte threw Epimetheus a smile, though she was soon met with Pandora's sour eyes.
"However, since they are dead creatures, their habits will definitely remain. At the very least, they are territorial-minded and population-conscious. Fortunately and unfortunately, these bone dragons appear to have mutated, and while I don't know exactly what happened, it's at least certain that they've now split into several populations. In other words, we can defeat them one by one, as long as we control the rescue time of the enemy you mentioned. β
This is like the princes in a feudal society, although the princes are not used to each other, if anyone is in any danger, the rest will only gloat. However, if the king ordered to go to the rescue, he would still carry out the order, even if he was reluctant.
And now this king, I'm afraid it's that guy.
"Quick...... Start clean...... Is that so?"
Charlotte nodded, "I understand, thank you for saving me time to think." β
"Hey, that, it's nothing, I can only do this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's assistance. β
Epimetheus carefully took off his glasses, "Then, it's up to you to do the rest." (To be continued......)
