In the corner of the arena, Lilia looked at her dragon.

At this moment, the dragon has completed most of its growth, and the original yellow-orange and yellow-orange skin has gradually transformed into a dark red.

The length of the body has also increased dramatically, from 23 meters to 32 meters.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Chen also gave the [Ultimate Aura] move to the dragon.

In the future, the dragon can also rely on the power of the ultimate aura to help Lilia deter other monsters.

"Lilia, you can."

Bai Chen walked towards Liliai, calling Liliai's name from afar.

However, Liliai's expression changed greatly after hearing Bai Chen's voice.

She turned her head and shouted to Bai Chen, "Don't come near me!" ”

"Huh?" Bai Chen was stunned.

It was the first time Lilia had spoken to him so loudly.

Bai Chen asked a little confused: "Did something happen?" ”

After a brief panic, Lilia also reacted, she lowered her head and said, "Hug, sorry, I don't really want to get close to you now"

She hadn't had a chance to bathe in the four days she had spent in the Valley of Miasma, and she was now almost overwhelmed by the rancid smell of the corpses.

On the way back, she sat in front of Bai Chen, and in order to prevent Bai Chen from smelling her body, she used her telekinesis to cover her body.

This was the first time she had done such a delicate thing with her telekinesis, and at that time, the thickness of the shield was almost as thick as a piece of paper, and she was confident that Bai Chen had not noticed that she had generated a telekinetic shield at that time.

"Ha" Bai Chen hadn't kept up with Liliai's thinking speed, he only thought that he might have done something to make Liliai angry, "If I do something to make you angry, I'll apologize to you first." ”

"No, no, Mr. Bai, you didn't do anything wrong." Lilia understood that Bai Chen had misunderstood, she quickly explained, and then changed the topic and asked Bai Chen, "Is there anything Mr. Bai looking for me?" ”

The two are now almost 100 meters apart, and they basically rely on roaring to speak.

Bai Chen subconsciously approached Liliai.

But suddenly Lilia was loudly reprimanded: "Just stand there and talk!" You don't have to get close to it! ”

Bai Chen stopped.

He finally sensed something.

"It can't be the smell of me, right? But with my state of being in sync with nature, I generally don't smell even if I don't have to take a shower. ”

Bai Chen raised his arm and sniffed it, but he didn't smell any strange smell.

Seeing this, Lilia took two or three steps back, and she wanted to end the conversation quickly.

"So there's something for me to do?"

"I'd like you to help compile the research report on the necrosaurus and submit it to the investigation team at a later date."

"I see, I'll help later. But before that. I'll go home first, and I'll be back in about three or four hours, and they'll trouble you to take care of it for the time being. ”

Saying that, Lilia bowed to Bai Chen very respectfully, and after she put her trainer belt on the ground, she left the arena with her own Majiyana.

Looking at Lilia as she departed, and the belt that Lilia had placed on the ground.

Bai Chen reluctantly walked over and picked up the belt from the ground.

"Forget it, just take advantage of Liliai's busy time to solve the problem of the dinosaur."

During the three days underground, the dinosaurs did not come out once.

He's going to go crazy with hunger.

As he spoke, Bai Chen beckoned to come and destroy the dragon and other ancient dragons, and then threw the monster ball of the dinosaur out.

Next, there is the repression of justice.

On the other side, Lilia hurried home, and she found the bath supplies she had brought from the Pokémon world.

Lilia went to the kitchen, where there was an iron bucket for a person to bathe.

The Star Stronghold is short of materials, and the place is also in short supply, such as building a large bathhouse is too difficult for the stronghold.

Bathing is a very luxurious thing in the stronghold, as far as she knows, male hunters only wash once every half a month, and most of the places to bathe are by the river or the sea.

As for the female hunters, there are also female receptionists in the assembly house, she is not clear.

The percentage of female hunters was very small, and she had not spoken to them in detail.

Just as Lilia was about to boil water for a bath, there was a sudden knock on the door of the house.

Lilia had no choice but to put on her coat and go to open the door, she thought it was Bai Chen coming back and opened the door, but she didn't expect it to be Eella outside the door.

Looking at each other, both of them were a little surprised.

Ella looked Lilia up and down, and when she saw that Lilia looked like she had just gotten out of bed, she showed an expression that I understood, and apologized, "Sorry to disturb you." ”

Liliai's cheeks flushed rapidly, and she quickly explained, "It's not what you think!" Mr. Bai is in the arena, I just returned from the mission, and I'm just going to take a shower! ”

"Hehe, it looks like you haven't gotten that far." Ella said with an ambiguous expression.

With just one sentence, Lilia's sense of victory and defeat was aroused.

She retorted indignantly: "I will not give Mr. Bai to anyone. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Ella smiled, and she finally explained the reason for her visit.

Ella summoned the Eru cats behind her, and the two Eru cats carried a medium-sized treasure chest.

Ella said: "This is the task bonus for Mr. Bai to complete the task a few days ago, as well as the gold coins after the materials are sold, a total of 323219 gold coins. It's okay to give you this gold coin, right? ”

"It's okay." Lilia was not polite either, and directly put the treasure chest into the Golden Temple.

Ella asked, "Don't you want to order it?" ”

"It's been counted, and there's no problem with the quantity."

As long as the gold coins enter the Golden Temple, the number will be accurately calculated, and there is no need for Lilia to manually count them.

Ira is also well-informed, there was Bai Chen's outrageous before, and now Liliai's abnormality is nothing.

She said, "It's really a convenient ability." By the way, you haven't boiled your bath water yet, have you? Do you want to go to the bath together? I'm just getting ready to take a shower tonight. ”

"Bathing together? Isn't there a large bathhouse in the base? "Lilia has known for a long time.

"It's true that there are no large bathhouses, but there are still places for ladies to bathe."

Ella didn't explain in detail, but said, "You come with me first, and you'll know when you get there." ”

Suspicious, Lilia packed her things and followed Ela to the Star Ship on the top floor.

At night, there were a lot of hunters on the Star Ship, and they sat in twos and threes drinking and chatting.

Lilia wrapped her mind around her body, and she followed closely behind Ela.

At the same time, she also had a doubt, that is, is there really a bathhouse here in the assembly hall? And it's so close to the venue.

"Don't be nervous, there really is a bathhouse here, but only we women know about it."

Ira led Lilia to the open-air cockpit on the second floor of the Star Ship, where the noise of the hunters could only be roughly heard because it was a little away from the venue.

Directly opposite the two, there is a large door.

And the most luxuriously decorated communication room was under the feet of the two of them.

"This is," Lilia seemed to feel like she had seen a door to a room like this somewhere.

"This is a specially renovated state-of-the-art cabin."

Ella took out a key and expertly unlocked the door outside the room.

When I opened the door, I saw a whole box of supplies.

Say it's a stateroom that looks more like a warehouse?

"This way, this way." After Ela locked the door, she found a gap in the middle of the boxes that could accommodate one person, and beckoned to Lilia.

Lilia followed Ela through the cracks in the supply crates.

Walking through this pile of supply boxes, the originally crowded space suddenly opened up.

This state-of-the-art cottage is divided into two floors, and the two of them are now standing on the wooden planks on the second floor, standing in front of the railing, and can see the room on the first floor.

Lilia looked back at the mountain of supply boxes.

Although there are not as many supply boxes on the first floor as there are on the second floor, they are still piled up.

Ira explained, "This state-class hut was once inhabited by the Grand Master, but it was abandoned due to the conversion of the Star Ship into a meeting house, and for various reasons. ”

Ela led Lilia down the stairs to the first floor.

Passing through the stacked supply boxes, the two of them came to the balcony gate on the north side.

Ella swiped open the door.

Outside, strong winds from the top of the mountain blew into the house with steaming steam.

Lilia looked at the one in front of her in surprise. Hot spring?

To be precise, it should be a man-made bathhouse, and it was also renovated from an observation pool.

Because it is located on a mountain peak, you can see the beautiful scenery from afar.

"Is this a hot spring?" Lilia asked in a whisper.

Ella waved her hand and said, "It's not a hot spring, it's just a little remodeled to make it connected to the workshop and provide hot water uninterrupted." ”

"That's amazing."

Lilia didn't expect that there would be a bathhouse similar to a hot spring.

"It's just a reuse of resources, and this room has been idle and used as a warehouse, so we asked the commander-in-chief to allow us to renovate the viewing pool in this room to use as a bathhouse," said Ila. ”

"I see."

Ella pointed to the hanger in the room and said, "Just put the clothes there, you can use them here, and no other men will be able to come in." ”

"Yes."

Lilia couldn't take it anymore, and she wanted to take a shower as soon as possible.

She had just taken off her clothes when a finger suddenly slipped down her back.

"The skin is so smooth~"

Lilia was taken aback, and she screamed and immediately turned her back to Ela, her expression a little wary.

"Miss Ela?!"

Looking at Liliai, whose face was flushed, Ila smiled evilly: "Don't tease you, I'll help you rub your back, right?" ”

Lilia hesitated for a moment.

She never asked anyone to rub her back for her.

But thinking that she was salted by the miasma, she reluctantly agreed.

"Then I'm bothering you?"

"You don't need to use honorifics, just call me Ella, and I'll call you Lilia in the same way."

"Yes, then I'll leave it to you, Ila, little Ila."

"You're welcome."

Ella also took off her clothes.

Looking at Ela's figure, Lilia looked down at herself.

Boys should like big ones, right? I'm not much younger.

Ela noticed Lilia's gaze, and she was a little shy and said, "Even I would feel shy to be stared at like this." ”

"I'm sorry." Lilia immediately looked away.

Putting the clothes away, Ira rubbed Lilia's back as promised.

While helping, Ila suddenly apologized to Lilia, "I'm really sorry for what happened a few days ago. ”

Lilia remembered that nine days earlier, she had been jealous of Ella on the Star Ship.

At that time, both of them caused some trouble for Bai Chen, yes.

But even so, Ila's apology shouldn't be apologizing to herself.

Ella explained, "Actually, as early as four months ago, Lord Bai had already rejected me. And I'm still in that situation, doing those things. ”

Only then did Lilia know that Bai Chen had rejected Ella four months earlier.

"But even if you apologize, you shouldn't apologize to me."

Ira shook her head and said very calmly: "At that time, Lord Bai told me that he had a favorite person for a long time, and at first I thought it was his excuse, after all, I investigated his information, and he almost lived alone in the Old World, let alone a lover or something.

It wasn't until I met you that I was sure that Lord Bai really had someone he liked. At that time, when I confirmed it, I was a little unconvinced, and that's why I made that incident. I'm really sorry."

Lilia didn't have time to be shy when she heard this, she grabbed the point of Eira's words and asked, "Have you investigated Mr. Bai's information??" ”

"Well, it took a lot of money and a lot of effort, and I even went to ask my master to find out the news. From the time Bai was born when he was a child, to when he grew up, I inquired about the connections around me. ”

Liliai's heart sank slightly.

Ela seems to be even more terrifying than she imagined!

Lilia struggled for a moment, she was also a little curious, and she asked, "Would you mind sharing it with me?" Of course I can pay for it. ”

"You don't need to pay for it, just take it as my apology."

Ila generously shared the news she had heard with Lilia.

"According to the information I have received, Haku-sama is from the village of Masana, and he has been prophesied as a 'Knight of Hope' since he was born, and it is said that he will bring hope of a reversal to the world when the world faces a crisis in the future."

Lilia had heard the news from Elu the cat before.

Lilia asked, "Do you know why Mr. Bai came to the New World?" Since he is the 'Knight of Hope', wouldn't it be better to stay in the village of Masana? Why did you send the New World?"

"It's troublesome to explain this, you're from another world, so I'd better briefly talk about the background first. In fact, the profession of 'knight' has only been known on a small scale in the last ten years, and knights have lived deep in the mountains before, and there have been few cases of contact with hunters. There are even some tribes that have rules that knights can't leave the village, and the fear is that coexisting with monsters is not acceptable to outsiders. ”

This is easy to understand.

At a time when almost everyone is hostile to monsters and regards them as enemies, there are people who empathize with monsters and coexist with monsters. Most people don't feel at ease when they see these people, but rather fear, and even see the knights as monsters.

"But with the increase in the number of knights and the expansion of the range of hunters, the knight profession gradually became known by more and more people, and the acceptance was much better than at the beginning. The Hunters' Guild naturally has a close connection with the villages that train knights. ”

Ira briefly explained the general background.

She continued: "As for why Lord Bai came to the New World, according to my guess, it is likely that the high-level of the guild also wants to see how much of a role the knights can play in the exploration, and wants more people to accept the knight profession. As a pilot, the New World Investigation Group, which has been selected at various levels, is the best choice. Every hunter here has been selected through the guild's most rigorous selection, so there is no need to worry about everyone's conduct. ”

After listening, Lilia finally understood the Hunters' Guild's thoughts.

"It turns out that the number of knights is so small, I originally thought there were quite a lot."

Ella said, "The threshold for knights is much higher than that for hunters. As far as I know, the children of the village of Masiana can choose to participate in the village's awakening ceremony when they reach the age of 14 or 15. At that time, the village chief will distribute monster eggs to the newcomers, and then the newcomers will use the Bond Stone to contract their first follower beast. ”

Lilia is familiar with this system.

It's the same in the Pokémon world, where when children reach the age of age, they also go to the research institute near their home to pick up their first companion.

Ela's next words are the point.

Ira said: "There is another requirement in the awakening ceremony, if someone in the awakening ceremony cannot contract the follower beast, then it can basically be determined that that person will not be a knight in this life." As far as I know, when Lord Bai first participated in the contract ceremony, there was not a single retinue beast that succeeded in the contract. ”

Lilia was shocked.

Bai Chen, who has now subdued the five ancient dragons, did not contract any retinue beasts when he made the first contract that year??

That's outrageous, isn't it?

"It can't be, right?"

"From our current perspective, it does feel incredible. But that's the case, no matter how hard everyone in the village of Masyana tried, Lord Bai didn't contract any monsters, nor did he become a knight. ”

Lilia was a little puzzled.

Since the guild wanted to see if the knights could play a greater role, why did they send Bai Chen, who had no retinue beast, to the New World?

She asked Ila, "Then since Mr. Bai can't become a knight, why did the village of Mashana finally send him to the New World?" And the Hunters Guild also listed Mr. Bai as a member of the recommendation group? ”

Ella sighed helplessly: "This is the suspicion, even if I asked my master, I didn't get any reasonable explanation, maybe the guild saw the potential of Lord Bai, right?" ”

"It seems that Mr. Bai still has a lot of puzzles, and I don't know when I can go to his hometown to see it."

"It shouldn't be too long, as far as I know, a lot of things have happened in the village of Masyana recently, and they should soon find a way to recall the 'Knight of Hope'."
