"Mirror, mirror, who is the loveliest woman in the world?"
The tall floor-to-ceiling mirror didn't move at all, and no sound came out.
Of course, it is actually just an ordinary silver plate. Even if it is expensive, it is not even a magic item after all, so how can it be answered
If it really answered, "Beautiful lady, you are the cutest woman in the world!", then Kasali would probably be frightened and run away.
She stared at the mirror. The girl in the mirror was young and beautiful. Her carefully matched clothes and just the right makeup made her even more beautiful. Especially the pearl pendant hanging on her chest, which reflected her ivory-white skin and made her radiant. With intoxicating charm. Even the maid next to her often seemed a little distracted when looking at her smile.
But at this moment, the person in the mirror looked very melancholy.
Women dress up to please themselves, mostly to make their lovers happy. When her mother was still alive, she once told her that a woman's beauty is like a flower and should not bloom in front of outsiders.
At that time, she didn't understand this, and she couldn't understand why her mother seemed so happy whenever her father came back from a trip.
Now she understands.
However…
She sighed deeply, and the person in the mirror also sighed. Her beautiful face was filled with sadness, which made the maid next to her feel distressed.
"Mom, what can I do to make him happy?"
The person in the mirror could not answer, and neither could the maids. The most famous beauty on the East Coast returned to the dressing table melancholy, with confusion in her eyes.
"Father, you once said that the best man is a man who is not intoxicated by my beauty, but simply likes me as a person. Now I have met a man who is not intoxicated by my beauty at all, but what should I do? , how can I make him like me?"
She was depressed for a long time, but finally cheered up, finished all her makeup, and went out accompanied by the maid.
"Good morning, Miss Kasali."
"Miss Kasali, do you want to go out?"
Along the way, servants and officials greeted her one after another, and she responded to them one by one. Whenever she responded to someone, that person would immediately brighten up. Especially the young men were all in high spirits, as if they had drunk an invigorating potion.
When she passed the door of the Government Affairs Office, she stopped and looked inside.
As expected, that tall and handsome figure, as reliable as a mountain, able to withstand storms and tsunamis, was sitting in front of the desk. There are already a lot of documents piled up on the desk, all of which need to be processed by him.
This man is always busy. When the city of Gars was in ruins, he rushed to various construction sites and took the lead in doing things. He even personally dived into the seabed of Gars Port and removed the large pieces of rubble that prevented ships from berthing. Move them out and take them away. Later, the city of Gars gradually recovered, and he worked with documents all day long, dealing with official affairs that could never be completed. He must often take time to review major and important cases, negotiate with various forces, and sometimes lead a team himself to exterminate powerful monsters that have wandered from the wilderness to the vicinity of Gars City.
It was precisely because of his leadership that the city of Gars was able to transform from a dilapidated ruin into a prosperous commercial port in just two years.
Without him, the group of refugees who had lost their homes would not even be able to survive, let alone rebuilding the city.
Without him, perhaps she would have been abducted by a powerful person and become a plaything in the inner room, or she might have been fought over by powerful people and become a rare collection...
She looked at the man's figure infatuatedly, her eyes full of intoxication.
He is always so strong, so steady, and so reliable!
When we first faced the ruins, everyone was filled with despair. It was like a bonfire, which not only illuminated people's hearts, but also gave people who were shivering in the cold early spring and winter something to rely on.
When all kinds of monsters and monsters came one after another, trying to knock the bones and suck the marrow out of the unprotected Gars people, he was like a ball of thunder, making those bad things stagger around, either running away in confusion, or turning into ghosts under the sword. In more than two months, he fought more than ten times, and finally frightened all those with evil intentions and defended Gars.
When she was forced into the palace during the celebration and was in a dilemma, it was he who stood up and stood in front of her, blocking her from the pressure. Then he persuaded the great gods to send messengers to solve her problems.
…
Unknowingly, Kasali's eyes were completely attracted to that person. She stood blankly at the door, staring at the person who was working at the desk, and a smile naturally appeared on her lips.
"Oh! She's just as beautiful today!" A voice that sounded so serious from the inside woke her up. When she turned around, she saw that it was Siti who didn't take the cold seriously at all and was dressed like summer. you.
She doesn't like this woman.
It wasn't because of this woman's astonishing beauty, nor because of her immoral style, but because she was very familiar with him and was one of his very few friends.
She stepped aside and let Steele enter.
Steele walked in swaggeringly, completely ignoring the majesty of the Archon, and sat directly on his desk. She didn't care whether at such a close distance, he, who had excellent eyesight, would be able to see the beauty under her skirt. She even lifted her skirt up a little, and at the end of her long black stockings were dazzlingly white skin, which perfectly exposed some of the purple lace of her underwear, which was simply sinful.
"What's the matter?" Lei was unmoved at all and continued to look at the documents without even raising his head. "You don't come to the door when you have nothing to do. You won't do anything good when you come."
Sidi suddenly showed a hurt expression and said sadly: "Is this how you look at me? Am I such a bad woman?"
"If you can be a little more serious, maybe you can restore some of your image in my mind."
"Will you fall in love with me then?"
"…I'll cut down on the number of times I write your name on the target."
Steele laughed, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, her body trembled, and a certain part that made Kasali resentful shook violently, and her breasts rippled with white waves that almost turned the men into hungry wolves.
Lei sighed deeply and put down the documents in his hand: "If you are very free, why don't you go to the hospital to work? I believe the patients will be happy to see you."
"I came here just because of the hospital." Steele finally put on a serious expression, "In recent times, there have been many more injured adventurers than before!"
A cold light flashed in Lei's eyes: "What's the reason?"
"Not only have the number of monsters in the Great Swamp increased significantly, they have also become stronger and more violent."
Lei narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that His Majesty finally lost control and wanted to cause something to happen?"
"Maybe, but there are no obvious signs yet. I can only say that it is possible."
Lei nodded, took out the booklet he used to record important matters, and wrote it down.
No matter how good a person's memory is, it can't compare to the words recorded in books. His Majesty the Mask of the Void once said, "A good memory is worse than a bad pen." Lei agreed with this and felt inspired, so he prepared such a booklet.
Sui Xiong also helped him blacken the cover of the booklet and drew a line of white runes on it.
There are nine strange symbols, five on the left and four on the right. The second symbol is the same as the last symbol, and the fourth symbol is the same as the penultimate symbol.
"Does the black cover and these strange symbols... have any special meaning?" he asked at the time.
Sui Xiong smiled and said nothing, but looked very happy.
This booklet has recorded a lot of things, each of which is very important, and I don't know if it was a trick of fate, but almost every incident eventually developed into a bloody conflict.
For example, the first thing recorded in the booklet is that believers of the God of Fear poured into the city of Gars in large numbers. They seemed to want to do bad things, so be careful.
The final result of that incident was that Lei rode a copper-crowned flying dragon to chase them for hundreds of miles, killing all the followers of the God of Fear without leaving any one behind.
It is now recorded that "the monsters in the great swamp are making abnormal movements and need to be organized to eliminate them as soon as possible." Obviously, such a development will also occur.
After finishing her work, Steele shook her body and left with a sin-inducing pace. Lei turned his attention to Kasali, who had been at the door, with doubts in his eyes.
"City Lord, do you have anything to tell me?"
Kasali, who was happy because he finally noticed her, sighed secretly because of his distant address, forced a smile on her face, shook her head and said: "I have nothing to do, I just came to see you... It's really hard for you to be so busy. !”
"Hard work? It's nothing." Lei said with a smile, "It's just some official work, it's not hard work."
But then he changed his tone and advised: "City Lord, I am just an outsider after all, and you are the real master of Gars City. I think you should learn more about government affairs, which will be of great help to your future governance." There are benefits.”
Kasali's mood became even more depressed: "Aren't you still working as a consul? Even if I don't study government affairs, it will be okay for you to be the consul all the time."
Lei shook his head and said gently: "Although I am a knight, I am ultimately a priest, and I am also the chief priest of a church. When our church develops, I will definitely be in charge of the temple, and I cannot stay here forever. Consul in the city of Gars."
"Then can't the temple be built here?" Kasali asked, "We have a large population here and convenient transportation. Isn't it the most suitable place to build a temple?"
Lei was slightly moved and had to admit that what she said made sense.
"I will make suggestions to Your Majesty, but you have to know that the thoughts of gods are different from those of mortals." He said, "Perhaps in your opinion, the prosperous city of Gars is far more suitable for building a temple than the bitter cold Ash Forest , but His Majesty’s will is the key to everything.”
Kasali sighed secretly, exchanged some pleasantries, and then left.
Looking at the pearl pendant on her chest that she just bought from Storm Sea Merchant Store yesterday, she sighed deeply.
All the while, Ray didn't notice it at all...
