In the dead of night, a figure silently burrowed into Annan's bedroom and stopped at the sleeping boy's bed.

The clouds dispersed, and the glow of the silver moon poured in through the window, revealing Reela in front of the bed, who looked at Annan with a complicated look, holding a dagger.

While he was still hesitating, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and a narrow shadow spread into the room.

"You're Annan's sister?" The figure outside the door whispered.

Leila turned around, protected Annan behind her, and stared at the sharp-eared silhouette standing in the doorway: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Dela, the warden of Starmoon Bay, and the ...... of Annan Guards. ”

"I've heard of you."

Leila changed her posture, from protecting Annan to placing a dagger around Annan's neck.

"I know you're not going to kill him...... Do you want to know the truth? Let's talk in a different place. ”

The silent Rela nodded, put away her dagger, and walked out of the room with the elf whose name was somewhat similar to herself.

The closed door blocked the flickering light in the glass jar and Annan's sleeping face.

……

"Teacher Asimov! Teacher Asimov! ”

The maiden who appeared in the forest could not see the tower, nor the majestic royal city, but knew that the past was gone, and sat down in the grass and wept sadly.

Her cry attracted an uninvited guest, and the bushes behind her rattled - a pale beast shadow burst out to stop the maiden's crying.

Just as the Pale Beast was about to succeed, an arrow pierced the air and nailed it to the tree, revealing the true form of a white wolf.

The cry froze for a moment, and then sounded even more violently: "Teacher Asimov, woo, ah! ”

"No more shouting, there's no second snowwolf for you to lure out." The hunter in the fur of the fox took up his bow and arrows and pushed through the bushes to the clearing.

"Is this Starmoon Bay?" The girl asked with red eyes as she suppressed her crying because of the presence of outsiders.

"You're also a girl who wants to 'chase your dreams'?" The hunter glanced at the wooden box that the girl was holding tightly in her arms, and walked towards his prey, "No, I'll send you over, how about you pay the honorarium?" ”

"Okay." She looked around and stared at the hunter who was expertly skinning the white wolf, "Where am I?" ”

"If you ask how far it is from Xingyue Bay, I will answer that you have to walk more than 2,000 miles."

"What's your name?"

"Rick, everyone here calls me the Hunter who never gives up."

"Because you never give up your prey?"

"Almost. You're still pretty good when you're not crying, so let's go back. ”

The hunter skinned the white wolf and draped it over his shoulders, ignored the dead wolf, led the girl back to the town, and then rented a carriage to take her to the city, and found the merchant with ease, put the girl in the carriage, and received the payment—Rick was as efficient as he was skinning.

Looking at the hunter who did not look back and wave his hand away, the girl retracted the cart with the wooden box in her hand.

"You've been deceived...... said an old man on the cart who was going to try his luck at Xingyue Bay.

"Why do you say that?"

"It only costs 70 silver coins from Fertile City to Breeze City, and it is less than 50 silver coins from Breeze City to Starmoon Bay...... I can see clearly, you gave him a purse of kinnar. ”

"How do you know it's Kinnar in the money bag?" The person next to him teased.

"I will never forget the beautiful sound of Kinnar colliding in my life!" The old man stared at the wooden box in the girl's arms.

"I gave him so much money because he saved me and helped me. The teacher said that honesty is a good character—"

The old man suddenly reached out and snatched it, and the young man who was talking next to him also cooperated and grabbed the girl's arm.

"Get out of here!"

The light blue shield suddenly opened, squeezing out the two people with malicious intentions. The movement here attracted the attention of the caravan leader, who first asked the caravan guards to beat up the two guys, and when they learned that they had also robbed something, they broke their legs and threw them out.

Knowing that the girl was going to Xingyue Bay, the caravan leader invited her to the front carriage. The apprentice mage who can cast spells is not far from becoming an uncrowned noble mage, and he doesn't think that the apprentice will have any accidents......

Of course, the main thing is the "commission" - introduce a professional to Xingyue Bay and he can get half a Jinnar!

A mage counts as two professionals, so how can a mage apprentice count as one professional, right?

"Are you from Starmoon Bay?" The girl asked the merchant who had been very attentive since she knew she was going there.

"It's just a small cooperation with Xingyue Bay......" the caravan leader rubbed his hands shyly.

"What does the King of the North look like?"

"I haven't seen it, but his men say the King of the North is Jack."

"Who is Jack?"

"The male protagonist in "The Fall of the Mage Tower"."

"The fall of the Mage Tower?"

Faced with a young girl with a new question for each answer, the caravan leader guessed that she was a nobleman who had smuggled away from her family: "The king of the north invented something called a magic image, like a stage play...... The actor is the king of the north. ”

The girl was not interested in the stage play, but was curious about the king of the north: "How can I see it." ”

"Record the Philosopher's Stone, but it costs 20 gold......

"I have no money, this is for you." The maiden took off her necklace and threw it to the merchant.

"No problem! We'll take care of your expenses on the road, too! ”

The merchant excitedly left with the necklace in his hand, and soon brought the Philosopher's Stone. The girl watched for only a moment, then forgot about Teacher Asimov behind her head, thinking only about the touching story of Jack and Ruth and his handsomeness.

The caravan set off at this moment, embarking on the long journey to Starmoon Bay.

……

“…… Your brother died at the hands of the nezumi, and Annan was mistaken for your brother, attacked and slandered, imprisoned in a dungeon, and coveted by the nezumi. He had to pretend to be the King of the North, fight off the conspiracy and the nezumi, save Breeze City, and avenge your brother, and that's the truth. ”

Of course Lela does. In the letter, Annan said many times after returning home that she had no right to accuse Annan except for pretending to be her younger brother...... But how do you explain it to your sister?

"I ...... I want to be quiet. Lela, who had been in a mess of her head from the beginning, said.

"Don't leave, Annan knows that you are coming over......"

Watching Lela quietly go out, Deira first went to Annan and Abby's bedroom, made sure they were still asleep, and then went into the shadows and went to the basement.

There was a sound of undressing in the darkness, followed by a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

In the midst of the pain, Deira lowered her whip and knelt with her forehead against the ground, forming a perfect arc in the darkness.

"Mistress." Deira whispered.

Then she let out a husky whisper that didn't belong to her: "That girl...... Is it the boy's older sister? ”

"Yes, Mistress."

"Setting up the ceremony...... Let them bind...... The power of blasphemy will restore my power and become the first god to return...... And you will be my most devout pastor. ”

"Obey Your Word......"

Deira held her position for a long time. Confirming that the Great Being was gone, she put on her clothes again and left the basement.
