Valu's name was very useful, and just as he was sitting in a prominent place for dinner, the news spread that he had saved Miss Lino, so the chef had already given him a large portion to prevent further starvation, plus double of Valu's orders, and a life-saving reward tonkatsu, which turned into a spectacular mountain of food. Rick is very filling!

During working hours, Miss Hana is in a very bad mood today, and has been hiding in the fictional background of "Spiral Spire Love" in the city of Khelfa. Nick was sweeping the floor and wiping the shelves in the studio. The studio has been organized by him these days to feel like a completely different place. Now he was hesitating to throw away some of the spell materials for Hana that had long been rotten and mold could be seen from the outside of the jar. As for the fakes, he pretended not to know.

Later, Syk tidied up all the way to Hanna's lounge. He classified the novels that Hana bought according to the book series such as "Sweet House", "Love House", and "Dream House", and by the way, he put on the book cover that Hana had been sandwiched in the crack of the book. When she found a serious book and was wondering how to classify it, Hana suddenly bounced up from her chaise longue and straightened her clothes at a speed she had never seen before, and ordered, "You come to the studio, I didn't say you were not allowed to come!"

Syk obediently entered the studio and listened to Hana's "Kala" sound and lock the door. He put his ear to the door and eavesdropped, but heard nothing. Hana must have gone to her external office.

Xi Ke took out the round steel mask from the medicine bag, of course he had a hair in Miss Hanna's office!

Sick crouched next to the workbench and wiped the steel mirror with a cloth stained with potion, and the image on the mirror shook for a moment to reveal the empty hallway, and Sik patted it before it correctly showed the image of Hana in the external office.

Xike saw a man in a silk top hat and full gown sitting at Hana's desk with his back to the frame, Hana sitting in the exaggerated office chair behind the desk, lowering her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth to speak.

That person should be male, yes, you can see from the edges and corners of the skeleton. However, the proportions of the skeleton are like those of women. If he could see the pelvis, Rick's judgment would be more accurate, but the man was sitting so he couldn't see it. He was dressed more formally than the people at the banquet yesterday, a formal male dress to this extent, not like he was just here to talk, but like he was going to some important ceremony. He was supposed to feel a weaker shaved shoulder, and he was padded with shoulder pads as thick as two bricks, which were too prominent and strange.

Rick threw the fluff at the entrance of the office, so that only the man's back and Hanna's front could be seen. I should throw a fluff behind Hana's back. Rick could only read Hana's lips and guess what the man in the dress had said.

Judging from Hana's frequent nodding and stuttering, Xi Ke speculated that this person was Hana's gold master, but this person was definitely not the master. The lord does not need shoulder pads.

Hana was very happy and enthusiastic at first, and Xike almost thought she would jump up and hug the man in the dress, but as the conversation progressed, Hana's eyes began to look frightened, and her eyes kept rolling, not daring to look at the other person. Later, the man in the dress pointed at Hana and kept shaking, and Hana put his hand on her chest and pretended to cry.

Hana said, "No, that's not the case, you have to believe that I am sincere to you, and I always put you first......

"Of course, everything is at its best, it's just a little obstacle that will be cleared soon!You know, people who don't understand how important this kind of thing is, like to hold us back for trivial reasons......

"Master, it's impossible for me to deliberately get in the way of you, you said that the assistant? No, I didn't, he did it himself!"

Rick had a sense of foreboding.

Nick saw the man stand up and wave his arms very excitedly, and now Tick was sure that he was a man. Hana squeezed out a few tears. The conversation abruptly ended, and the man pointed his finger to the ceiling, making a very exaggerated and old-fashioned spellcasting gesture, and a burst of purple light covered him, and then he vanished.

It's a portal, that's right!

Hana wiped away her tears and took out six more makeup touch-ups from the drawer before getting up and walking to the back room.

Rick quickly tucked the mirror back into his bag, pretending to be sorting out his tools.

Three minutes later, Hana opened the office door and chopped her feet impatiently, "Rick, go buy something from the store on it, get it!" she slammed an envelope on the floor.

Rick stooped down and picked up the envelope, which contained the address of a magic material store, a shopping list, and money. These things are common and can be bought nearby, but Hana asks Xike to buy them at a store that you have to take a train to.

"More money for dinner. Hana shook her head and left.

When he walked out of the room, Xi Ke counted several times, and his silver box, sacrificial knife, and herb bag were all on his body.

He felt like he was going to war.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

By the time Xi Ke bought his things and took the train back to the neighborhood on Zuihou, it was almost midnight. There was still a lot of money left after buying things, so Xi Ke bought a whole herb roast chicken and enjoyed it. Although there is a suspicion of "Zuihou's dinner", it does not affect Xike's appetite.

There were no people on the streets, and there were no shops open, and the monster that caught girls in the middle of the night had a great impact on the local economy.

Xi Ke thinks that he has no resemblance to the beautiful girls in the photo, and he should not be implicated.

Xi Ke reminisced about the aroma of roast chicken, because his head was full of pleasant memories, and even walking in the snow became easier. As he walked, Syk noticed other footprints in the snow. He could see the marks of his boots, because of his unfortunate past, so he could recognize them. There are also some shoe prints that seem to be stepped on by high heels, presumably left by underage girls who have worked hard to arrest the police. Xi Ke saw on the road that they were wearing heavy makeup that would make them fifteen years older, thinking that as long as they did such trivial things in life, they would be adults.

There is also a kind of footprint, which is very strange, and looks like someone walking barefoot on the snow. But the paw of the foot is three times larger than that of a human. There is still hair on the soles of the feet.

As he crouched on the ground and watched, he heard another strange sound in the wind, like a squeaky noise. Mages are sensitive to this noise, which is a sign of a change in spell energy. The silver box in his clothes was beating, alerting him to the approaching danger.

Turning his head to look around, he looked up and saw a huge creature crouching on the roof of a house on the side of the road.

It looked like a lion with a human skeleton, and not only its neck, but also its chest and back were all covered with thick manes, standing like wire in all directions. There is also a thin stream of hairs that extends all the way to the lower body, and the underside is covered with hairs.

Its face was as flat as if it were pressed against glass, its nose was facing the sky, and its lips were lifted to reveal sharp teeth. Except for the areas covered by the mane, the skin everywhere else is smooth and hairless, and even reflective in the moonlight. The bones and muscles of the upper body are like those of a man, broad and muscular, while the lower body is slender and smooth like that of a woman. Xi Ke lit a ball of light on the tip of the sacrificial knife and raised it, and its pupils quickly changed from round to a small slit, faster than a cat's pupils scaling.

It's definitely a magical creature.

Xi Ke was still thinking about whether this was a coincidence, or if someone had arranged it on purpose, when suddenly the monster jumped up and pounced on Xi Ke!

Rick flashed to the side, and with one hand pulled the bones of the herb-roasted chicken out of his pocket as a sacrifice. The monster landed heavily where Rick had been standing.

Rick took a step back, the roasted chicken bones vanished, and the blade of his sacrificial knife glowed red. The monster turned around, raised its front paws, and its nails instantly grew ten centimeters, and pounced on Xi Ke again.

Xi Ke saw the momentum of the monster's movement, and with the smallest movement, he only moved one step, dodged the attack sideways, and the sacrificial knife cut into the monster's flank. Xi Ke pushed forward with both hands and waist force, and the knife moved in the opposite direction to the direction of the monster's advance.

A large piece of flesh flew out of the monster's body.

When the attack was successful, Syk immediately erected a wall to separate him from the monster. After these two blows, Xi Ke has determined that this monster is a very amateur hunter. The people he used to deal with were probably ordinary people who were weak just by seeing his appearance. Therefore, he can only attack in a straight line, and he can neither play tricks nor know how to defend against counterattacks. He didn't fight back at all.

The monster let out a deafening roar that sounded like a human roar, but it was unusually hoarse. A hole was made in its flank, and white smoke came out of the snow as blood dropped. The blood wasn't normal.

The monster's momentum couldn't be stopped, and it kept rushing forward. Trying to stop, he put his foot on the ground, but slid and spun forward a hundred and eighty degrees, hitting the lamppost with the side of his lower body. What appeared to be just a slight touch, but the lamppost snapped and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Xi Ke has suffered a lot of anger these days and has nowhere to vent, and it is the best to have a punching bag for him. Xi Ke hooked the corners of his mouth, raised the sacrificial knife in one hand, and hooked it twice with the other: "Come on, I'll accompany you!"

Xi Ke fought back in the rage that often occurs when a monster is injured. But instead of attacking Xike, the monster jumped hard and jumped onto the roof. All of a sudden, it was at a distance from the Seal.

The monster crouched on its hind feet, its two front paws reaching for the wound on its body, but it did not touch it. It looks like a person has been injured and is in pain and afraid to touch it. Its flat face was crumpled and its long, bright purple tongue sticking out and hanging out of its mouth.

"Don't run!" exclaimed. However, he was not very good at throwing spells, and if he threw fireballs or something at such a distant target, he might damage the house and be claimed.

The monster turned, jumped on the roofs of different houses, and disappeared all at once.

Xi Ke couldn't catch up, so he had to give up. He crouched down to look at the pieces of meat that the monster had left on the ground. Slices of meat creaked in the snowdrifts and smoked constantly. Syk pondered whether to empty a potion bottle and put a slice of meat inside. Just as he was thinking about it, the slices of meat suddenly emitted a lot of smoke as if ice had melted. The volume quickly shrank and disappeared.

Kick began to feel a little cold, and he dropped the broken lamppost and whistled as he walked back to his work.
