Lord Chronicle

Chapter 81 The Value of Mira

For the next week, nothing happened.Except for two fights in the territory, which were resolved quickly, nothing special happened, and the days were peaceful and leisurely.

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the lord's mansion, there was a low table and two deck chairs under the shade of a tree. Sol lay leisurely in the chair, watching the autumn sunshine through the branches and leaves.

It's rare that Jessica steals half a day's leisure, and she also accompany Sol to bask in the sun here.Our beautiful female steward was leaning on another chair, her slender legs crossed, a few messy strands of hair brushed her cheeks in the breeze, and two beads of sweat secreted from the tip of her nose, which was extraordinarily lazy.

Neither of them spoke, and the mottled light spots cast a fine shadow on them. Except for the occasional chirping of autumn cicadas, time passed quietly in silence.

"Tell me, have Rulett and the others found the ruins?" Suo Er suddenly asked after taking a sip of the black tea that Marlene had prepared for the two of them on the low table.

Opening his eyes lazily, Jessica gave him a sideways glance, as if blaming Sol for ruining the leisurely atmosphere: "I don't know, I probably found it."

Sol sneaked a peek around her graceful body, and finally settled on those beautiful legs.He felt his heart pounding twice, Jessica was really attractive at this moment.

"Well, I hope those guys are safe. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mira for a few days." Thor greedily reflected the beautiful scenery in his mind, and then looked back to the sky.

"Hmm..." Jessica replied in a daze, and closed her eyes again.

At this time, the adventurers they mentioned were circling in the depths of the relic forest.

Swish... Pulling out the sword from the body of the last monster, Rulert kicked the corpse away, leaning against the tree and gasping for breath.

Here is a dense jungle, the canopy covering the sky almost covers the sky, and the sunlight can only fall on the ground through the gaps.More than a dozen adventurers were scattered in the forest, half of them were wounded, the ground was dripping with blood, and there were many corpses of monsters.

Five days, they have been lost for five full days.In the first two days of entering the forest, everything was normal, and everyone headed towards the predetermined direction. However, on the third morning, after a strange thick fog appeared, the adventurers found themselves lost.

For five days, they kept going around in the forest, but they still couldn't find the right direction.They were constantly attacked by monsters along the way, causing the adventure team to lose several people, and the other half was also covered with injuries.Seeing that the materials they carried were about to run out, a wave of despair quietly filled everyone's hearts.

"How is it?" Putting the sword back into its sheath, Rulet turned to Laris and asked.

The handsome magician was also quite embarrassed at the moment, with a few fallen leaves hanging from his white hair.He shook his head when he heard the words: "The magic elements in this forest are extremely unstable, and my detection magic has no effect."

Nodding, Rulert turned to Cardo and Meine again: "What about you?"

Kado also shook his head: "The growth of the trees is very strange, and it is impossible to judge the direction from the tree. The elves in the forest seem to be avoiding me deliberately, and they cannot communicate with them."

Meine also said: "The gold bar (earth snake) said that it can't find the direction of the earth's veins."

"Damn..." Rulet smiled wryly, "Is there no other way?"

"Anthony, how is everyone doing?" Cardo turned and asked another adventurer.

The strong man with the ax named Anthony replied: "Saluo is dying, and Maggie is helping him. Everyone is seriously injured, and the medicine is almost used up."

All indications are that things are getting worse.Although everyone is an experienced elite adventurer, in this desperate situation where there seems to be no glimmer of hope, morale is still inevitably frustrated.

"What should I do?" Laris asked Ruret calmly.

Looking up at the sky, Rulert ordered: "Set camp on the spot, the injured rest, and the others go to deal with the corpses of those monsters, and bring the edible parts."

Without any hesitation, a group of adventurers dispersed silently.Those who were seriously injured lay down and rested on the spot, and those who were slightly injured began to set up tents and set fires. Two priests cast magic to heal the wounded.Others skillfully skinned those monsters and cut off the edible parts.

Night fell quickly, and the vast relic forest was completely shrouded in darkness. Nocturnal monsters came alive like ghosts, and various strange roars continued to come from the dark forest.

A bonfire became the only light source in this dense forest, flickering on and off, reflecting the frustrated faces of several tents and the adventurers sitting around.A column of smoke slowly rose into the sky, and soon merged with the night.

No one spoke, they ate silently, wiped their weapons silently, and prepared for their continued struggle in desperation tomorrow.Occasionally, there were two groans from the wounded, and the atmosphere was so depressing that people could only scream.

In this silence, there was a sudden rustling sound from the dense forest behind.In an instant, several adventurers sitting there pulled out their weapons and jumped up, their eyes burning intently on guard.

Although they have suffered repeated setbacks these days, they are the elites selected by the guild after all, and they can still show the vigilance an adventurer should have at critical moments.

The sound is getting louder and louder, indicating that an object is approaching.Just as a bush in front of him was shaking violently, a mage uttered a series of spells in a low voice, and threw a fireball with his hands.

boom!The fireball exploded, and the bushes instantly burst into flames. Amidst the bright flames, a black figure leaped out and rushed towards the bonfire where food was roasting.

"Hmph!" Anthony snorted angrily, raised his giant ax and slashed at it.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, there was a sudden shout from Ruret.

Anthony stopped the ax abruptly, and everyone saw clearly that it was a sloppy little girl who jumped out.At this moment, she was hugging the piece of meat on the grill with her hands and feet, and she opened her mouth to bite.

"Are you...that Mira?" Menie suddenly exclaimed.

It was Mira who ran out, but she was supposed to stay in Lovell, how could she appear here?

Ruret also recognized her and waved his hand to stop other adventurers. He came to Mira and said, "Do you remember me? I am Ruret who met you in Gosmed Snow Mountain."

Glancing at him, Mira put on a "who cares who you are" expression, and continued to deal with the barbecue, half of which was eaten between three mouthfuls.

I really didn't expect to meet a little girl here, and the other adventurers were all surprised.Anthony couldn't help but said, "Rulette, who is she?"

Kado said in a deep voice: "Her name is Mira. We met on the frozen plateau before, and it seems that she was adopted by the lord here."

"Then why is she here?" Another adventurer wondered.

Kado shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he came here... No!" His face changed suddenly. If this is the case, with the vigilance of this group of adventurers, how could they not notice it for so many days?

Rulert obviously also thought of this question, and he said again: "Mira, why are you here?"

Meine said at this time: "Rulette, it's useless, she can't speak at all."

It was only then that I remembered that the little girl couldn't speak. Rulert made a few gestures clumsily, but to no avail, so he spread his hands: "I can't communicate with her."

An adventurer said in a deep voice: "Exploring the ruins is a secret mission entrusted to us by the guild. We must figure out why she followed us."

This matter is of great importance, and Rulert dare not neglect it.Quietly gesturing, he and Kado moved over one left and one right: "Mira, my dear, how did you get here?"

Seemingly aware of his malicious intentions, Mira, who was burying her head in the meat, gave them a vigilant look.Just when the two of them were about to rush forward with all their strength, she suddenly jumped up.

"Don't let her run away!" Anthony yelled, opening his hands in a gesture of obstruction.

Other adventurers also surrounded them, but Mira moved extremely quickly, swaying left and right, and actually passed through the gaps between the crowd, and ran into the dense forest without a trace.

Everyone was secretly surprised, such a flexible movement.This place is full of first-class adventurers with high skill and strength. It's incredible that so many people can't catch a little girl.

"Damn it, she ran away." Anthony looked at the dark forest with regret.

The other adventurers also looked ugly. There are too many weird things in this forest.First I was lost for five days, and I couldn't even figure out the direction, and now I ran into a little girl for no reason. Who knows what will happen next.

"Could it be...we entered the devil's labyrinth?" an adventurer trembled suddenly.

His trembling voice sounded like night owl's groans in the night, and everyone felt their brains jump, and a burst of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cardo reprimanded.

The adventurer said in horror: "Then why have we been lost for so many days for no reason? That little girl has been following us, but we don't know it at all. Could it be that she was sent by the devil..."

"Shut up!" Anthony shouted angrily, and hit him hard on the back of the head with the handle of the axe.

Throwing the unconscious adventurer on the ground, he snorted: "I think Carus needs to sleep for a while."

Luret nodded, acquiescing to his behavior: "Everyone, calm down, let's not get confused. I have seen Mira before. Although she is a bit strange, she is just an ordinary human being."

"Ordinary people? Then how could she follow us silently for so many days." A priest said.

Laris said coldly: "In the Gosmed Snow Mountain, she once brought Mene into the dragon's lair."

These words made everyone stunned, to enter the dragon's lair?Just because of this little girl?That being said, it's not so strange that she followed everyone.

Mene also nodded desperately, proving that Laris was not lying.

Cardo frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Although I don't know her purpose, it seems that she has no malicious intentions."

"What if he was sent by the lord here to follow us?" an adventurer asked suddenly.

Many adventurers nodded one after another. At present, this should be the best explanation.

"Since they are following us, why did they come out out of nowhere?" Other adventurers wondered.

"I think...she was attracted by the smell of barbecue." At this time, Meine said timidly.

Everyone gave her a weird look, then automatically ignored her words.

Luret pondered: "I think... since she can find this place, she must know the way back. Although the chance is very slim, maybe our hope of being rescued lies in this girl."

Everyone else showed expressions of disbelief. Since these professional elites couldn't find a way out, why should this girl?
As everyone looked at each other, Cardo said in a deep voice, "I agree with Ruret."

Laris also said, "Me too."

"And Meine." Meine raised her hands high.

Roulet was the leader of the operation, and his ability was also convinced by others.As he said, they have no hope, and the only thing they can count on may be this girl who suddenly appeared.

Probably holding this kind of mentality of "a dead horse as a living horse doctor", other people look at me and I look at you, and they all nod in the end.

"But how to find her?" Then, the beautiful female priest named Maggie asked.

"Uh..." Rulert froze for a moment.

"Eat, eat, Mira will come out." Meine grabbed Ruret's sleeve and shook it.

Although it was a little strange, everyone decided to try what she said.So the bonfire was re-intensified, the most tender meat from the monster was skewered on the grill, and the remaining spices were also taken out.

Under Ruret's own operation, a seductive fragrance soon permeated the surroundings.Despite the heavy heart, everyone was still swallowed by the smell of meat.

"Using such a good thing to lure that girl is really cheap for her." Anthony even thought so.

There was no abnormality at first, but soon, two lights flashed in the dark forest.Like elves cruising at night, the two light spots moved silently among the trees, gradually approaching the camp of the adventurers.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, Anthony couldn't help but said: "Is it useful? If it's not useful, we might as well eat it..."

"Shhh..." Rouret made a hushed gesture, then grabbed the last handful of spice powder and sprinkled it on the meat.

Zi... With a seductive soft sound, the strong meaty aroma reached its peak in an instant.At the same time, I heard the branches swaying for a while, and Mira rushed over like a bolt of lightning.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Rulet grabbed the barbecue and moved it away.Mira flew into the air, and she prostrated on the ground with all fours together, looking at the barbecue in Ruret's hand, drooling.

"Do you want it?" Rulet shook the branch.

Mira nodded desperately.

"I can give you food, but you have to promise to take us back to the territory, understand?" Luret said again.

Mira nodded desperately.

Roulet scratched his head and passed the meat over.Like a preying frog, Mira leaped up to grab the barbecue with a "big bird bite", and hugged her in her arms with a happy face.

"Hey, can you really trust this girl?" Anthony asked him quietly.

Glancing at Mira, who was eating happily, Ruret smiled wryly: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

"Speaking of which, what exactly is she doing with us?" Maggie was puzzled.

"Maybe she's just bored, just come and play with me." Meine said timidly.

Everyone looked over strangely again, and then automatically ignored her words.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mira filled her stomach and sucked all ten fingers. Then she jumped up and walked towards the edge of the woods.

"Quick, follow her." Ruret said quickly.

Everyone was in a hurry to pack their luggage, but Mira suddenly climbed up the tree, broke off a few branches and piled them together, stepped on them with her feet, and fell down.

A moment later, a soft snoring sounded...

Crowd: ...

"Wow, that damn girl, I'm going to hack her to death!" Anthony was furious.

Rulert quickly pulled him back: "Calm down, calm down. Everyone is tired, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

In desperation, everyone had to find a place to sleep.Looking at Mira who was smacking her lips while sleeping, Rulet rubbed the bridge of her nose in distress: Is she really reliable?
In any case, Mira, who accepted the bribe, performed her duty.So two days later, this group of desperate adventurers finally walked out of the forest.

When they saw the lord's mansion standing in the center of Lowell, everyone was moved to tears for a moment: finally survived...

***************************************************************************
"What, Mira saved you?" Sol was shocked.

This evening, a group of adventurers who looked like bandits knocked on his door, and then unceremoniously swept away all the food in the kitchen.Facing the furious Sol, Rulert, who was busy stuffing bread into his mouth, said only one sentence: "I'll talk about it after I finish eating."

After taking the injured to the hospital and arranging other people, Sol finally had time to listen to him tell what happened.

"Yes, if it weren't for her, maybe we would have become a pile of bones in the forest." Luret's face was full of rejoicing for the rest of his life.

Sol and Jessica looked at each other, no wonder I haven't seen this girl for a long time, but why is she going to the ruins forest?

Roulet also asked the same question: "But I never figured it out, why is she in the forest? Did you send her to follow us?"

Sol quickly shook his hand: "Of course not, who knows what's going on with her madness."

Just kidding, of course this matter needs to be cleared up, if the Adventurer's Guild is mistaken to think that they have any thoughts on the ruins, it will be troublesome.

Lu Leit nodded: "I think so too, but I'm afraid there will be a little trouble on the guild side."

Looking at Mira who was sleeping soundly by the fireplace, Saul couldn't help smiling bitterly: "You really will cause me trouble."

Seeing his distress, Rulert leaned forward and said, "Don't worry, she saved us after all. I will try my best to explain it to you."

Saul patted his forehead: "That's the only way to go."

Sure enough, the next morning, an angry Raul came to the door.

"Your Excellency, we already have an agreement, what do you mean by doing this?" He asked in a deep voice.

Sol felt helpless: "You misunderstood, I just found out about this."

Raul sneered: "Then you mean, it has nothing to do with you?"

Jessica said at this time: "Exactly, we really didn't know anything beforehand."

Raul couldn't help laughing: "What does a teenage girl know? If you didn't order it, then who would it be?"

Raul came to the door early in the morning to question the teacher, and he believed that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, which made Sol a little angry.However, he didn't want to spoil the reconciliation he had reached with the Adventurer's Guild so easily, so he had to patiently explain: "I really don't know about this, Mira is just a naughty little girl, this time it was probably just because of her curiosity, so…"

Where would Raul believe it?He stood up impatiently: "Based on the cooperation between the two parties, the guild hopes you can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we have no choice but to find out the truth by ourselves."

The threatening meaning of these words is already obvious, how can Jessica, who already can't understand these high-ranking guys, hold back?She said coldly: "We have explained the truth, and it's your fault if we don't believe it. If the Adventurer's Guild insists on bullying others, we, Lovell, have no choice but to accompany them to the end."

Trembling with anger at her words, Raul stood up angrily: "Since you are so dishonest, I have no choice but to report today's incident to the upper echelons of the guild."

In fact, it is no wonder that both sides are so excited. For Raul, the matter of the ruins needs to be kept absolutely secret, but now that Mira is following the exploration team, how can he not get to the bottom of it?

As for Jessica, since the Adventurer's Guild first wanted to get involved, and now she insists on accusing her of evil intentions, it's no wonder she doesn't get angry.

Seeing that the two sides were about to become stalemate, Sol quickly winked at Rulert.Luret stopped Raul and said, "Mr. Raul, please calm down. Although this is strange, it is thanks to Mira that our exploration team can get out of the forest alive."

Raul snorted, "So what?"

Luret said: "If she was really ordered by Mr. Saul, why would you risk exposure to save us? Besides, I have seen this girl on the frozen plateau, she is not the kind of scheming people."

When Ruret spoke, Raul's face turned slightly tender, but he still said: "It's not like you don't know the importance of the ruins to the guild. Even if there is a possibility, we must find out."

"But..." Rulert still wanted to say.

Raul waved his hand to stop him: "Stop talking, I will report this matter to the president, and he will decide."

Seeing that the explanation was useless, Rulert sighed, and suddenly leaned into Raul's ear and whispered something.Raul's face changed slightly: "Are you serious?"

Luret nodded.The expression in Raul's eyes changed several times, and he finally said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will report it together."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Sol: "The relic is very important to the guild, so please forgive my gaffe just now. No matter what the result is, I hope it will not affect our cooperation."

Secretly, if you believe that it is related to Lao Tzu, it will not be affected.But there is still something to be said on the scene, Sol nodded: "I will wait for the good news from the guild."

After Raul said goodbye and left, Saul asked Ruret: "What did you say in his ear just now?"

Unexpectedly, Rulert played tricks: "It's nothing, but I hope the superiors will seriously consider the value of Mira."

"Value?" Sol was puzzled. Apart from being super edible and not causing trouble, what value could this girl have?
Rulert smiled but did not answer: "If you want the guild to change its mind, this is probably the only turning point."

For a period of time after that, Sol has been in a state of anxiety.Although the territory is still developing steadily, he knows how much the loss will be if he falls out with the Adventurer's Guild because of this incident.

Sometimes looking at Mira, who is carefree and carefree, wandering around every day except eating and sleeping, he is very emotional: living like this girl may be the happiest...

But what should come will always come. On this day, Gliss came to Lovell again.

"Can I see Mira?" This was the first sentence the old man said when they met.

The more he felt that this guy's background was not simple, Sol immediately asked Marlene to find Mira.Fortunately, in order to avoid causing any trouble to her, Sol strictly restricted her from going out these days, which made Mira very unhappy. Except for her still amazing appetite, this girl was very unhappy in every aspect.

Not long after, the angry Mila was pulled by Marlene.Seeing her, Gliss, who had been smiling all the time, had a gleam in his eyes, and his smile slowly sank.

Sensing Gris' gaze, Mira looked up at him with a vigilant look.

"Good Mira, come here, this is Grandpa Gliss, let him give you a good hug." Saul pushed Mira to Gliss in a nasty manner, like a strange uncle who pushed a little girl into a fire pit.

The keen Mira knew that she had caused a lot of trouble for Saul. Although she was extremely reluctant, she still walked in front of Gris, but her expression was quite resistant.

"Hehehe..." Gliss looked Mira up and down with a puzzling smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Everyone looked at the old and the young, nervously waiting for Gliss' judgment.

Stretching out his palm to caress Mila's smooth face, Gliss still had that weird smile.Sol couldn't help muttering, is this old man really a pervert?
At this moment, Grist suddenly spit out a few spell-like words, and at the same time, there was a glimmer of light on the edge of the palm he was stroking Mira.

Mira's face changed drastically, she turned her head abruptly, and took Gris' hand into her mouth.

"Wow, spit it out quickly, this thing can't be eaten." Sol was shocked and stopped quickly.

He has seen Mira's terrifying bite force, and he can definitely give Gliss a "martyr's wrist severing" easily, and he can't even think about falling out with the Adventurer's Guild.

With Gris's whole hand in her mouth, Mira's cheeks were bulging, and her big eyes were staring upwards. She looked quite cute.But those who knew her well, from Sol to Ruret, were all in cold sweat.

"Don't bite down, don't bite down..." Everyone prayed in their hearts.

Fortunately, she finally listened to Saul. After hesitating for a while, Mira spat out Gris' hand, and she retreated behind Marlene with a hostile face.

"Hahaha, it's just a little girl, please don't mind." Saul couldn't help laughing.

Gris, however, looked indifferent. He took the handkerchief Raul handed over to wipe the drool on his hand, and suddenly said to Thor: "My lord, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree?"

"What?" Sol was taken aback, the old man's topic changed so quickly.

"I like this little girl very much." Gliss pointed to Mira: "So, I want to adopt her, but I don't know if it is possible."

"What?" Thor yelled.

His words were beyond everyone's expectations, and even Raul couldn't help saying: "You are..."

Gris waved his hand and said to Sol with a serious face, "I hope you can agree."

"You..." Sol had an expression that finally saw through you: "You really are a lolicon."

"……I was serious…"

"This..." Sol scratched his head in embarrassment: "Why?"

Gliss showed that harmless smile again: "I have no children, and I feel more and more lonely recently. When I saw her today, I felt very compatible, so I wanted to adopt her."

Secretly thought I would believe you.Sol guessed what he was up to. It seems that the old man believed that Mira must be instigated by someone behind the scenes, so he wanted to take him back in the name of adoption and investigate slowly.

Saul knew that if he agreed, the misunderstanding would be resolved, but that would really push Mira into the fire pit.Although he is not a brave man, he still has a sense of responsibility.

So he shook his head with a smile: "Sorry, I can't promise."

Gris was taken aback for a moment, but wanted to continue talking.But Saul said: "Although I am Mira's guardian, I have no right to determine her ownership. If Mira agrees, you can take her away."

As he spoke, he turned around and asked, "Mira, are you willing to go with him?"

Unsurprisingly, Mira shook her head desperately.

Sol spread his hands helplessly: "So sorry, I can't help it."

Gris was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "I see, you must have misunderstood me, but I..."

Having said that, he stopped and looked at the people around him with some embarrassment: "If possible, I would like to talk to you alone."

Sol also wanted to hear what he had to say, so he winked at Jessica, and he and Gris walked into the study.

As soon as he sat down, Gliss said to Thor: "I think the lord must have misunderstood. I didn't have any bad intentions. In fact, I appreciate her ability very much and think she will definitely become an outstanding person in the future." An adventurer, that's why I decided to adopt her."

"Ability, what ability?" Sol was taken aback, is he very edible?

This time it was Gliss' turn to be surprised: "The best adventurers in our guild can't tell the direction in the relic forest, but she can easily enter and exit. This is already a remarkable ability."

Only then did Saul suddenly realize that the "value" that Rulert referred to refers to this.

He couldn't help but wondered: "Even if that's the case, there's no need to adopt her, right?"

Gris laughed and said, "Aside from appreciating her abilities, I have no children, and I feel lonely, so I came up with this idea. Mira's talent is beyond your imagination, and it would be a waste to let her stay in Lovell." So I want to give her the best life and education, which will be good for Mira's future."

Suddenly, Sol fully understands that if Mira is adopted, there will be three advantages for him.

First, you can use Mira's ability to find the ruins; second, as he said, you can train her to be a first-rate adventurer in the future; third, if Mira is really ordered by someone, hold her firmly , not afraid of the secret of the ruins being leaked.

Well, you old man, I really didn't see it, you ghost spirit.But we are not stupid, how can it be so easy to cheat my Mira away like this?
Thinking of this, he shrugged his shoulders: "If you want to use Mira's wayfinding ability to enter the relic forest, I can consider it. But about adoption, sorry, no."

Gliss obviously didn't expect Sol to see through his intentions, and looked him up and down quite unexpectedly: "No wonder I heard that the lord of Lowell is very shrewd in the capital, and it's true."

Sol chuckled: "It's so-so, you're too good-for-nothing."

Hmph, if you knew that Lao Tzu did what Ferry did, would you change shrewdness into shameless?

Now that he had finished speaking, Gliss also said flatly: "You guessed right. At first I did suspect that you were instigating this girl, but compared to this, finding the remains is more important. The guild's best Adventurers will get lost in the forest, and only with the help of her ability can they find the location of the ruins. It was only after meeting that they found that this girl had potential, so they came up with the idea of ​​adopting her."

Sol couldn't help but smiled wryly: "But I really have nothing to do with this..."

Gliss said meaningfully: "Whether it is related or not is not important now, anyway, it will be found out sooner or later. But I believe that even if you know the location of the ruins, you will keep it a secret, right?"

Saul couldn't understand the meaning of his words: "Because of Mira's relationship, this matter can not be pursued for the time being, but if the news leaks, don't blame us for being rude."

What else can he say?I had no choice but to nod: "Of course, besides, I'm not interested in it."

Gliss nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Then can you lend us Mira?"

Unexpectedly, Saul, who had just compromised just now, said with a playful smile: "It can be possible, but..."

……

After going in for more than half an hour, Saul and Gris finally walked out of the study while everyone was waiting anxiously.

"How is it?" Jessica asked anxiously.

Sol sighed: "It's almost done, and the other party will not pursue that matter for the time being. Correspondingly, I will let Mira take them into the forest."

Jessica frowned. Although she was suspected of taking advantage of Mira, she caused the trouble, and it seemed that she had to solve it.

Meanwhile on the other side.

"What, 1000 gold coins a day!?" Raul said in surprise.

Even the shrewd Gliss couldn't help but laugh: "No way, he said it's okay to borrow it, but it can't be borrowed for nothing. So based on the lease, we have to pay 1000 gold coins for one day of using that girl."

"It's really shameless." Raul couldn't help but look at Sol.

It just so happened that Sol was also looking at the two of them, their eyes met, and at the same time they showed duplicity smiles.

Not long after, Raul and Gris left the lord's mansion.

As soon as he boarded the carriage, Raul couldn't wait to ask: "President, do you really think this matter has nothing to do with him?"

He actually called Gliss the president. Could it be that the real identity of this old man is...

At this time, Gris seemed to be a different person, with a majestic expression on his smiling face.He nodded: "It seems that he really doesn't know."

"Then...you want to adopt that girl, and why?" Raul asked cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Gliss sighed: "She is immune."

"What... what!?" Raul was stunned for a moment, then turned pale with shock.

Gris nodded: "It's a surprise that I can meet someone with an immune constitution here. I have tried it myself before I can believe it. Sol thought I wanted to adopt her because I was afraid of revealing the secrets of the ruins. Hmph, I'm so smart." Guy, he has no idea what that girl is worth."

"So..." Raul hesitated to speak.

Gliss shook his head: "Failed, I have to say, this guy is not that easy to deal with. But it doesn't matter, as long as I don't let him know my real intention, there will be opportunities in the future."

After a pause, he ordered again: "You immediately organize another advance team. This time, you must find out the location of the ruins. There is not much time, and you must not delay any longer, understand?"

"Yes." Raul agreed, bowing his head deeply.
