Lord Chronicle

Chapter 78
Julie was humming a ditty, walking cheerfully in the forest under the moonlight, and the joyous songs and laughter of the garden party could be faintly heard from behind her.

She was in a very good mood. Since the lord came back, the territory has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one year.Everyone no longer has to worry about making a living, and their income is gradually increasing, which was unimaginable before.

Although the territory has also experienced many things, such as the invasion of monsters, the attack of the undead, etc., they were all repelled by everyone's unity.This year's garden party was more lively than last year, which made Julie smile for several days.

The food stall at home was booming, and the stored wine was sold out quickly, and Maisie asked her to come here to get some wine.With a basket on her shoulders, Julie bounced towards the warehouse.

At this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps faintly coming from behind, echoing in the quiet forest.

"Who is it?" Julie wondered, is there anyone else here?

The sound of footsteps disappeared, and the other party seemed to stop under her call, but there was no response for a long time.

Julie shrugged and continued walking, but after a while, the footsteps sounded again.

"Who's behind?" Julie stopped again.

Strangely, the other party still didn't answer, as if they were just quietly following behind her.

After all, this is the woods at night, and Julie was a little scared.After a moment of hesitation, she started to trot, and the people behind immediately followed suit.

More and more flustered, when turning a corner, Julie quietly hid in the woods, hiding behind a big tree.

The footsteps were getting closer, and soon a tall figure chased after him.It seemed strange that Julie was missing, the man let out a snort, and turned his head to look around.

By the moonlight, Julie discovered that the other party was actually Kress.Rarely, he was dressed neatly, holding a large bouquet of flowers, as if he was going on a date.

Now Julie's curiosity as a woman was aroused, and instead of going out, she waited with interest, wanting to see who he would meet when he came here.

Looking around for a moment, Kress scratched his head and ran to the warehouse again.

After he left, Julie came out of her hiding place and followed him with a sly smile.

It's so funny, does that silly Kress also chase girls?I must figure it out.

It seemed that Kress was very anxious, and he didn't notice that there was a person behind him.When he came outside the warehouse, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the door of the warehouse open.

Holding flowers, Kress circled back and forth outside the warehouse, as if hesitating whether to go in or not.Finally, he finally made up his mind and slapped his chest, resolutely walked in.

Julie followed from behind, tiptoed to the side window, and looked inside.

The warehouse was pitch-black, and one could barely see through the moonlight outside.Kress stood upright at the door, seemingly very nervous.

A petite figure could be vaguely seen at the end of the warehouse, but because it was blocked by shadows, it was impossible to see who it was.Could this be who Kress was dating?Julie's eyes widened involuntarily, trying hard to see the other person's face clearly.

"You, hello, excuse me, I, I'm Kress." Kress said.

Julie couldn't help scolding the idiot secretly, what kind of way to say hello is this, and she even reported her family name.Who doesn't know you Kress?Don't scare the girls by stammering like this.

Sure enough, the petite figure gasped and shrank back.

Kress became anxious for a moment: "Don't, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. It's just...it's just that I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and today I finally mustered up the courage to come to you."

"Well, it's kind of okay." Julie shook her head, unknowingly entering the role of judge.

But the other party still didn't answer, and seemed a little shy.

Kress couldn't help scratching his head: "I know I'm abrupt, so I hesitated for a long time. But... I think it's better to confess, because I, I found that I really like you."

"Not bad, I didn't expect this stupid big man to have a sweet mouth." Julie praised in her heart.

However, the other party still didn't say a word, and she didn't know what her attitude was.

Taking a deep breath, Kress passed the bouquet in his hand forward: "I know I'm stupid and I don't understand romance. But, but please give me a chance. Please, please, can you give me a friend?"

"Kaz, Katz..." There was a sudden chewing sound in the darkness.

"Huh? Are you... are you eating?" Kress froze for a moment.

The other party nodded, and then there was another strange whistling sound.

Kress couldn't help wiping off his sweat: "Uh...you really have the same hobbies as me. So, can we be friends?"

The other party still didn't answer, but this time there was a thumping sound, as if she was biting a nut.

"Oh my God." Julie couldn't help covering her eyes.

Kress became more nervous, and he couldn't help loosening his neckline: "I, I know my request is embarrassing for you, and I like to eat when I'm nervous."

"Guji, Guji..."

"But... this problem has troubled me for a long time, and I must solve it today, otherwise I won't have the appetite to eat. Please give me an answer if you agree or not."

"Xixihuhu... Xixihuhu..."

"Please, please stop, can you answer me first?"

"Gollum...gollum..."

Kress was a little anxious, and pulled the girl out of the shadows: "I, I really like you, so please agree to be my girlfriend... Wow!?"

Under the light of the moon, Mila, whose mouth was full of food and with half a sausage hanging from the corner of her mouth, was held by Kress in his arms, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.

Sweat broke out on his face, and Kress swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Why...how could it be you?"

Outside the window, Julie, who saw all this, was also quite surprised.She couldn't help opening her mouth wide, and just about to scream, her mouth was covered by a hand and dragged to the window.

"Shh..." Covering her mouth, Pochi made a silent gesture.

Only then was Julie surprised to find that a group of defenders had gathered behind her at some point.

"I didn't expect that the captain liked that weird girl." Lance looked heartbroken.

"No, is the captain's taste so bad?" Another defenseman, Jeter, said.

Pochi defended Kress: "No discrimination is allowed, everyone has their own preferences."

Julie speculated: "Maybe it's because they are both good at eating, so they cherish each other..."

The defenders looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Very likely."

At this time in the warehouse, Kress stared at Mira like a fool.After a long while, he said dully: "Actually, those words just now... I didn't say them to you."

Mira grinned, showing all her white teeth.Following that, he broke free from Kress's embrace, ran out like a rabbit, and disappeared into the woods.

Kress was surprised: "Ah, I ran away." In a hurry, he chased him out without thinking.

A group of people watched the two run out one after another, and Bo Qi stood up suddenly: "Follow up, we must find out tonight."

"Yes, follow up and follow up." As he said that, a group of defenders with the word "gossip" on their heads rushed into the woods.

Just as Julie was about to follow, she suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot, mom asked me to get the wine." Although a little unwilling, she went into the warehouse.

The warehouse where the food was stored was messed up by Mira, and Julie bent over to search among the boxes: "Strange, where did the wine go?"

However, she was buried in the search, but she didn't find that there was another person standing at the door at some point...

************************************************** ***************************
Sol hurried to the warehouse, and saw the door open from a long distance away.Shocked, he ran to the door, only to see that the inside was in a mess, and it was obvious that Mira had killed him.

Seeing the back of the girl arching between the boxes at a glance, Sol was furious: "Well, I'm getting more and more arrogant, and I still haven't left the crime scene."

She knew that Mira was more flexible than a monkey, so she touched it lightly, and then swooped in the air and pressed her to the ground: "Aha, can't catch you this time?"

Julie was looking for a drink when she suddenly felt a heavy object on her back, knocked her head on the box, and passed out like that.

Saul quickly turned Julie over: "I told you earlier that you are not allowed to steal food... Wow!?"

Under the light of the moonlight, he realized that the person under him was not Mira, but Julie.Moreover, she has passed out.

Sol's face was dripping with sweat immediately: "Damn, why, how could it be her?"

"Hey, hey, wake up." Sol patted her on the cheek, but Julie didn't respond.

"This is terrible." Sol raised his chin and pondered: "It is said that at this time, of course first aid is required. Then heart massage and artificial respiration are indispensable, hehehe..."

Seeing that there was no one around, Saul became lustful, his eyes swept around Julie's plump breasts: "Forgive me, I also came to save you, I'm here..." He pouted and was about to kiss.

At this moment, Kafir's call came from outside: "Sol, Sol, where are you?"

"Ka, Kafir?" Sol was shocked, why is she here?

After rushing to the window, he poked his head out, and sure enough, he saw Kafir walking towards this side looking around.

Looking back at the unconscious Julie, Sol knew that the lonely man and the widow lived together in a dark room, and the woman was still in a coma. If Kafir saw her, he would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash himself out.

Things must not be brought to light!Under such a sense of urgency, Sol's brain began to work rapidly, and soon he raised his hand to call out the snake demon Xiaomei.

"Go and lure her away. Kafir must not be allowed to come here." Saul ordered.

Xiaomei nodded and hissed, and swam out with a flick of her tail.At this moment, Kafir had just arrived outside the warehouse, and suddenly saw a woman's back flashing into the woods.

"Hey, who is that?" Kafir's expression changed suddenly, "Could it be Jessica? Well, I knew Sol wouldn't come here for no reason, and he really came here for a tryst."

In her rage, she didn't care so much anymore, she turned around and followed Xiaomei to chase after her.

Seeing Kafir chasing into the woods, Saul couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.But it's too dangerous here, it's not so lucky for someone to come again, you have to leave as soon as possible.

Picking up the unconscious Julie, Saul decided to take her somewhere else before waking her up.After thinking about it, he put on the mask he brought for her again, so as not to be recognized by others and cause misunderstanding.

Holding Julie in his arms, Saul walked to the woods on the other side.However, he didn't realize that his every move was being watched by a pair of eyes.

As soon as Jessica came nearby, she saw Sol walking out of the warehouse, still holding someone in his arms.Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she still recognized it as a woman from the high breasts and long hair.

"Okay, no wonder you ran here with Kafir and me behind your back, it really is... how shameless to actually hug each other." Jessica was trembling with anger.

Seeing Sol running into the woods, how could Jessica rest?Biting her lip, she also chased after him.

Hmph, I want to see what the hell you two are going to do sneakily!

***************************************************************************
After holding Julie in his arms for a long time, Sol came to the depths of the woods.Seeing no one around, he exhaustedly put Julie on the ground.

"My god, I'm exhausted. As expected of Aunt Maisie's daughter, it's really heavy." Saul leaned against the tree panting for breath.

"It should be safe here, right?" He looked around cautiously.

"Then" Saul panted heavily: "Heart massage and first aid of artificial respiration begin..."

Just as he was moving his ten fingers and was about to move his hands, the bushes not far away burst open with a crash, and Mira jumped out, jumped and ran across the open space, and ran into the opposite woods.

With a puff, the tall and burly Kress rushed out, shouting as he ran, "Hey, stop, I didn't tell you what I said just now."

Before Sol came back to his senses, there was another loud noise, and a dozen defenders headed by Pochi chased him out of breath.

"Hurry up...God, the captain and that girl have really good physical strength."

Saul watched the three groups of people pass by one after another in amazement, and then hugged Julie expressionlessly: "Damn, where did these guys come from? Hurry up, hurry up."

Sol just got into the woods here, and Jessica poked her head out behind a tree not far behind him. Obviously, she who was following Sol was also frightened by those people just now.

Unexpectedly, after hiding for a while, Sol didn't know where to go.Jessica looked left and right, and looked for it in the opposite direction of Sol.

After walking for a while with Julie in his arms, Saul was really exhausted.He put Julie under a tree, picked up a stone and threw it into the woods, and listened for a while.

..., there must be no one this time, right?

"Then" he turned around with a smile, "heart massage and artificial respiration..."

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, there was a clatter from behind, and another person came out.

"It's killing me." Unprepared, Saul covered his heart with a pale face.

Turning his head to look, it was Xiaomei, the snake demon, holding Kafir who passed out in her hand.

"Hey, what happened to Kafir?" Saul asked in surprise.

Xiaomei hissed twice, and carefully put Kafir on the ground.Sol suddenly realized that Kafir must be chasing too closely, and he had no choice but to beat Xiaomei unconscious.

"Okay, now we're together." Sol looked at the two women on the ground with a wry smile.

At this moment, Julie groaned, showing signs of waking up.Sol was taken aback, and soon he made a decision that Julie couldn't wake up here, otherwise it would be really hard to explain.

After thinking about it, he took Xiaomei back, picked up Julie and ran out.Soon through the woods, he came to the river Yire.The comfortable water vapor blows towards the face, and the lights of the garden party can be faintly seen from the left.

He decided to put Julie here and wait for her to wake up by herself. As for what she thinks of Saul in the future, he can't care about it. At worst, he will apologize to her later.

Putting Julie on the grass by the river, Saul hurried back into the woods again.Kafir was still unconscious, and his graceful body was in a wonderful state under the light of the moonlight in the forest.

Gulu... Sol couldn't help swallowing: "Mouth, heart massage and artificial respiration..."

"Oh, the lord is really in good spirits." Jessica snorted suddenly from behind.

Pfft... Sol sprayed out a mouthful of white foam, God, please just let me do it once...

Turning around with guilt, Sol was startled and frightened: "Jie, Jessica, why are you here?"

"Hmph, if I wasn't here, you might have done a lot of bad things, right?" Jessica's eyes were burning with anger.

Looking back at Kafir on the ground, Sol said weakly: "It's actually not what you think..."

It's a pity that even he himself didn't find this sentence convincing, so how could Jessica believe it?

She walked over step by step, and said angrily: "I thought you had taken care of yourself, but I didn't expect you to sneak here with Kafir. What are you trying to do by making the girl dizzy?"

Sol really wanted to cry without tears: "I didn't do anything at all."

At this moment, Kafir woke up in a daze, and saw Jessica at a glance.She jumped up: "Well, you two secretly dated, and you knocked me out."

"What?" Jessica was taken aback, and then said angrily, "Who's having a tryst with him? Hmph, what a good thing I did, and you still falsely accuse me of knocking you out."

Kafir showed no sign of weakness: "Come on, I watched you sneak into the woods with my own eyes, and you were knocked out shortly after chasing after you. Didn't you do it, or who did it?"

Jessica was furious: "Obviously I followed you two!"

The two girls gasped heavily, stared at each other unwillingly, and then turned their heads together: "Sol, tell her it's nonsense!"

Saul burst into tears: "I was wronged, I was really wronged...I just came to find Mira, who can tell me what's going on?"

*
By the river, Julie frowned and hummed, then woke up in a daze.

"Hey, why am I here?" She stood up in confusion.

I clearly remember that I was in the warehouse, why did I suddenly arrive at the River Ire?

Julie was still confused, the bushes on the side parted, and Kress ran out: "Damn, where did that girl go...Huh, Zhu, Julie?"

Since she had just watched Kress' "confession", Julie smiled unnaturally: "Ah, Kress, hello."

After a lot of hard work, he couldn't find anyone, but he suddenly met her here, and Kress suddenly became very nervous.He scratched his head hummingly: "Ah, you, hello."

The two of them had their own thoughts, they just stood by the river and didn't speak for a long time.

Maybe the atmosphere is too dull, or maybe I feel that the opportunity is too late.Kress finally plucked up the courage to speak: "Julie, this... I have something to tell you."

Unexpectedly, Julie nodded, "I understand."

"Ah? Do you understand?" Kress was confused for a moment.

"Yeah, actually I know everything." Julie showed an expression of "I understand".

"You, you know?" Kress's face turned red immediately: "How do you know?"

Julie muttered in embarrassment: "Actually, I've been watching you secretly from the sidelines."

Like a thunderstorm on a dry land, for a moment Kress felt that the tide of happiness completely submerged him, Yuan, it turns out that Julie is also interested in me (Obviously, he got it wrong. I have been secretly looking at you, and I have been secretly watching The meaning is different for you)

He said excitedly: "So, you also..."

Julie smiled encouragingly at him: "Come on, don't care about other people's eyes."

This sentence finally made Kress completely let go, and he couldn't help but grabbed Julie's hand: "Julie, I, I will definitely make you happy in the future."

"Ah?" Julie was completely confused: "What are you talking about?"

Kress was taken aback: "Didn't you agree to...be my girlfriend?"

"Hey, what do you mean?" Julie's face turned red: "Don't you like Mira?"

"What?" Kress almost fell over: "Why do you think so?"

Julie whispered: "I heard your confession in the warehouse."

At this time, Kress really wanted to find a wall and ram his head to death. How could Julie see it?He was at a loss and explained: "Actually, I didn't say that to her at all, I... she... is not what you think anyway!"

I don't know where to find the courage, Kress grabbed Julie's hand: "Actually, I went there to find you."

"What?" Julie was stunned for a moment, then reacted abruptly.

The sound of footsteps following him, the flowers in Kress' hands, his confession at the door, and the astonished expression when he saw Mira...

It turned out that the object of all this was himself.

After thinking this through, Julie's face turned red like a fire.She broke free from Kress's hand and fiddled with the corner of the clothes with her head down, without speaking for a long time.

In fact, Kress is tall and mighty. Although he is a bit naive, he is very skilled in martial arts, and he also has many heroic deeds when he goes out with the lord.In the last battle to defend Lovell, his bravery was obvious to all, and he was the idol of many young people in the town.

It would be a lie to say that Julie didn't like him, but this fact was too sudden, especially after Mira's turmoil.For a moment, the girl really didn't know how to answer.

She didn't speak, but Kress was in a hurry.He stammered: "I'm sorry, I know I'm too impatient, but, but it took me a long time to muster up the courage. I like your smile, your golden hair, your cooking, and your Everything, so I...I really want you to be my girlfriend."

Mira's head dropped even lower.

Kress was worried about gains and losses, and couldn't help being disappointed: "Is it really not possible?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I was too presumptuous, please forgive me...huh?"

It was he who saw that Julie was holding his sleeve with her head lowered.

"No, I, I would." Her voice was like a mosquito.

After shaking his head and making sure he heard correctly, Kress let out a cheer and jumped up happily: "Really? Really? That's really great, thank you Julie."

Seeing him bouncing up and down like a child made Julie amused too.

Kress patted his chest with lingering fear: "I came tonight with the determination to die. Fortunately, I didn't tell the gang of brats under my command, otherwise I would be embarrassing."

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, there was a crashing sound, and a bush not far away broke off, and Bo Qi and a dozen other guards rolled out without a sound.

"Ah, it's you!" Kress was shocked.

Looking at the horrified captain, Pochi chuckled dryly: "I'm sorry, captain, we all heard it."

Before Kress came back to his senses, several people stood up on the left, but it was Sol, Jessica and Kafir.

"Kress, congratulations." Jessica said with a smile.

"My lord, Miss Jessica, Miss Kafir, why don't you..." Kress was speechless, speechless.

At this moment, there was a swish above their heads, and Mira hung upside down from the canopy, smiling silly at Kress.

"Oh my God, I'm obviously very careful, why does it seem like everyone knows?" Kress looked up to the sky and lamented.

"Pfft...hahahaha..." Julie was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Just when everyone couldn't help laughing, there was a sudden explosion, and a ball of flames rose into the air, followed by thousands of fire trees and silver flowers, reflecting the night sky in colorful colors.

For a moment, everyone forgot to laugh, and turned their heads to look, and several fireworks rose into the sky one after another. Amidst the sound of explosions, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fireworks shone in everyone's pupils.

It was the magic firework made by Hitches with all his heart. At this moment, the atmosphere of the garden party was pushed to the highest peak.

In the venue, men, women, young and old were fascinated by the fireworks exploding in the night sky. At this moment, everyone forgot everything and immersed themselves in this rare spectacle.

In front of Aunt Maisie's stall, Vince and Albert looked at each other, seeing tears of emotion from their respective eyes.

"It's so beautiful..." Jessica raised her head and muttered to herself by the Yile River.

"Well, I suddenly feel so happy." Kaffir also nodded.

Saul looked at the two women who had stopped arguing, and reached out to shake hands with them in private.Holding the delicate catkins of the two women, he didn't have any thoughts in his heart, he only felt a tranquility, as if his heart was also exposed to the bright fireworks.

It's great to be in Lovell...

In the Mario Mountains, the blue dragon Elebena lay on the stone platform in front of the dragon's lair, watching the fireworks exploding over the town in the distance, with countless colors changing alternately in the sapphire-like dragon's eyes.

"Boring humans, interesting humans, it's not bad to be able to move here..."
