【Location: Keel Grassland】

Louie reached out and pushed the window.

I saw the golden wheat swaying in the wind.

The babbling stream flows endlessly, and the day and night lunch break passes through the grassland.

As they moved farther and farther away from the city of Tino, the hustle and bustle of the city faded, the roads grew weeds, and the Gothic and Roman columns became less and less.

Small houses with low conical roofs are a minority.

The adobe and thatched farmhouse looks quite new.

- After all, it is old, and it is not far from a collapsed house.

With the neighing of horses, the rickety carriage stopped, and Alice, who closed her eyes and rested, opened her eyes.

Pink eye looks like healed.

"Caesar, this is the first lesson I taught you, as an adventurer, you should always be in the habit of taking turns to rest."

"Surviving in the wild and being physically fit is the number one priority."

Louie's hand armor tapped lightly on the iron skull: "I'll remember, but you can remind me before you get in the car." ”

Alice shook her head: "People, you can't remember a lesson without eating it." ”

Louis retorted: "But I have a succubus physique, and my physical strength recovers quickly. ”

Alice's face froze, and her smile became dangerous: "Don't think that having a succubus physique is great. ”

Louis directly answered: "I'm sorry, if you have a succubus physique, you can do whatever you want, but I don't think you will understand this feeling, Captain." ”

Alice's smile was even more "nuclear".

Just as she was about to show off the majesty of the regimental commander, William, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly spoke:

"It's not that I can't feel it."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed:

"Okay, you William, I didn't expect you to look at the iron pimple, and you can still tell yellow jokes."

The next moment, her face changed: "The destination has arrived." ”

Then one of them gave them a kick and kicked them out of the carriage.

The two of them were not annoyed, and they patted their butts and got up.

"This is the home of the brave herdsman?"

Louis glanced curiously at the dilapidated farmer.

It became more and more difficult to imagine how much effort it took for that holy woman to grow from a village girl on such a farm to a holy woman admired by thousands of people.

After all, this is not the priest who liked to use the promotion device on little boys and nuns in his previous life.

In this world, the gods are real.

There is a great possibility that you will be ripped out of your soul by the gods and hung on the wall of sighs to blow the wind when you try to play with flowers.

On the tree in front of the farmer, the yellow warbler was chirping and singing, and the voice was graceful, and Louie deliberately used a [Charm Monster] spell to make it fly down and stop on Louie's armor.

Mori Leng's armor was a little warmer because of a chirping bird.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A timid voice came from inside the door: "Who? ”

A door opened, and a pair of eyes quietly surveyed a few people from behind.

"From the imperial capital, come and investigate the case of the herdsman's disappearance."

Louis turned to look at William.

William understood what Louis meant, and stepped forward to open his cloak first.

"It's the Royal Guard!"

The person behind the door saw the category of William's armor at a glance, and immediately opened the wooden door and welcomed several people in:

"Are you here to find Daddy?"

It was a very plainly dressed girl, wearing a partial blouse, and a blue square turban over her silver-white hair.

When he smiled, his long eyelashes flickered like two small brushes, and a pair of big eyes as bright as ruby made people feel dazzling, and he was unusually smart.

Alice, who was behind her, whistled at the girl and nudged Louie:

"Caesar, why don't you come in, don't get out of the way and scare people."

It's just that Louis is still motionless.

No!

It should be said that his body was trembling slightly.

From his angle, he could see the girl's tall and straight nose under her long eyelashes, as well as her well-defined red lips.

She seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the shocked gaze of this stranger, and she stood there confused and a little shy, which could arouse a strong desire for protection in almost every man.

But he had no intention of appreciating this beauty now.

Because at this moment, he heard the sound of the trapezoidal broadsword sliding down again, like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper quietly approaching, which made his steps frustrated, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

At this moment, the corners of Louie's mouth went up, revealing a subtle smile.

Luckily, I wore full-body armor.

Otherwise, it will be discovered now.

In the diary of the future, it is written:

"After Grace's father returned from the imperial capital, he sensed a strong sense of unease, so he settled his wife and daughter and went to the grassland border again to investigate."

"So far, he disappeared for two days and two nights, Grace used the last silver coin in the house, and asked the adventurer to help find someone, but in the end no one was found."

"It wasn't until the day after the patrol evacuated that her father suddenly returned home."

"However, on the third night, the monster attacked, and the happiness of the family of three was also torn to pieces."

Louis felt that there was something strange in this, as if something was threading a needle through it.

That's why he had to come here to find out for himself.

Now, it's the first day Grace's father disappears.

"We took the adventurer's training mission, and I heard that there are people around here who are ready to invite adventurers."

Louis consciously glanced at Grace when he said this again.

Sure enough, she was quietly looking at herself, and after a brief eye contact, she lowered her head again.

"Yes, it's me! I—I'd like to ask you to find Daddy, he's been missing for a day! ”

Louis shook his head: "I'll pay attention when I go to the border, what are the characteristics of your father?" ”

Grace became excited, and nodded as hard as if grasping at a life-saving straw:

"My father used to be the best hunter on our side, but then he lost a leg......"

"There's a leg that's prosthetic?" Alice frowned when she heard this, "And it's a little strange, the old hunter is very good at avoiding risks, and it's strange that he doesn't come back for a day and a night." ”

The dry hunter has more or less a professional level, and he can be regarded as half an adventurer.

If a peer is gone, there is a high probability that he is dead.

Her instincts told her that something was wrong.

Could it be that the sapphire dragon is haunted again?

"You suspect it's the young dragon?" William said, "It's unlikely, the baby dragon is not small, and it is obvious at a glance on the grassland. ”

"It's different."

Alice shook her head, "That's the Sapphire Dragons, and they have a priori like to hide in the low caves they have dug themselves. Few people can spot them until they don't have a probe. ”

Louis said, "Then list the suspect of the hunter's disappearance as the sapphire dragon cub." ”

Hearing the conversation between several people, young Grace was a little frightened.

Was Dad taken away by a dragon?

Even if she hadn't seen the dragon guide, let alone what the sapphire dragon was, she knew that as long as it was a monster linked to the dragon, none of it was good.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she said with some trepidation:

"I—our family doesn't have that much money."

Finding people, and finding people who might be taken away by the dragon, that's not a price.

"Then pay for it with something else."

Louie's muffled voice came from the helmet, and Grace seemed to see his strange gaze, and subconsciously took a step back, her face turning pale.

"If you don't have enough gold, then I want you to ......"

Louie's finger pointed at Grace, watching her silent, a pair of peach blossom eyes unconsciously sparked with wet marks, and ruddy lips tightly pursed.

Then he said, "Bring the best food in your house." ”

Grace: "Huh? ”

Alice laughed and patted her knees: "Alright, girl, go get something to eat!" ”

Grace jumped up excitedly, grabbed Louie's hand, and kept thanking: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"This Mr. Caesar is a good man!"

Such a thought flashed through the mind of the innocent Grace.

It's just that at this time, Louie's expression is a little solemn.

Because just now, he discovered a fact that surprised him.
