Senior knights entering the polar regions must hunt at least three mid-level monsters to be qualified. Abi and his two companions completed the task ahead of schedule. They had no intention of hunting more monsters to improve their qualifications or exchange for money.
The reason why they came to summer hunting every year was only because of their companion Fla. Now her wish had been fulfilled. She was temporarily depressed holding her brother's relics and couldn't get out of it. Seeing that she had no intention of staying any longer, the three decided to leave the polar region early.
Before leaving, they enthusiastically invited the Murrays - they were sure that the two were a couple, after all, the way they got along was so natural and harmonious, more like a couple than any other couple they had ever seen.
Look at the way one feeds the other; look at the sudden different look in their eyes when they look at each other; look at how naturally one takes a bath while the other watches over her. Allen, with his experienced eyes, is sure that it takes at least five years of marriage for them to be so skilled.
Fla was speechless and pointed out: "From Lily's age, I can be sure that your guess is wrong."
Abi said what he often said: "Human men are disgusting."
Muri ignored the three strange humans who came uninvited, and Mary, as a representative, rejected the invitation of the three.
She was indeed reminded and wanted to go to the city, but she never forgot the attitude of the temple towards monsters. She wanted to isolate Muri from these people as much as possible, so even if their attitude was good, she was unwilling to go with them.
After they left, Meili and Murray discussed, "Let's go to the city. We can buy some things during this time."
The house was flooded and Muri's clothes were soaked to pieces. He only had one set of replacement clothes except the one he was wearing now. He didn't care about it, but she wanted him to live a better life.
The candy was eaten up long ago, and she couldn't feed the bear candy recently. She felt that she was mistreating the bear at home.
Mary was surprised to see that Murray actually showed a little fear. He used to dare to put on a skull hat and run to the city. Why would he be afraid now
She hesitantly comforted him: "You are in this state now, it should be okay even if you go to the city."
Murray's expression was very subtle, and he finally said awkwardly: "Buying things... I don't know how to count."
Mary thought hard but she could not figure out that the fear on his face was because he remembered the fear of being dominated by her money-counting questions. The little bear who disliked the trouble of counting money was tricked by her into doing the "how much should I pay for shopping" questions for several days, but later he had no use for it and naturally forgot about it after he became a big bear.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to reason with him, "Muri, you are very smart, but you are not used to calculating these things. If you calculate more, you will find that it is very simple..."
Murray buried his head in her arms, his chin resting on her legs. Although he was a big man with wild and fierce eyes, the way he bent his body to shove his white-haired head into her arms was so cute.
Unable to bear this heavy "sugar-coated bullet", Meili felt the pain in her thigh, and she unconsciously changed her words and touched his head lovingly, "Okay, you don't have to count, I'll do it."
In this way, they left the Warcraft Shell House by the lake to ventilate the smell, and left the polar region together to head towards the city where humans lived.
The process of entering the city was uneventful and boring, no different from that of any other ordinary person.
Mary decided to buy some nice clothes for Murray first, so she went to a shop selling clothing fabrics first.
The first thing I saw when I entered the room was three people inside. Two female knights were holding a skirt and examining it carefully, and a male knight was squatting on the side, looking at the legs of the girls passing by with boredom.
It was too late to retreat and avoid them! Allen saw them and greeted them, attracting the attention of the other two female knights.
"I thought you really wanted to stay in that crappy place for a while, but I didn't expect you just didn't want the three of us to disturb your private time together." Allen's tone was dim, and Abifula's gaze was even more subtle.
Meili gritted her teeth and dealt with the embarrassing situation, concentrating on shopping for clothes. She picked out a few sets of clothes and asked Murray for his opinion.
Muri, who was standing behind her with his arms folded, was like a spirited ebony pillar. He said nothing, just shook his head.
"You don't like this one either? What kind do you want?" Mary didn't expect Muri to be so picky about clothes. He always wore whatever he wanted before.
Murray said, "I want the same clothes I have on."
Just want torn clothes? What kind of hobby is this? Meili was puzzled for a while, and when she saw the simple bear patch on his clothes, she suddenly understood what Murray meant.
So she said to her boss, "Bring me the cloth."
Then he turned back to Murray and asked, "I'll make clothes for you?"
This time Murray nodded and became very talkative again.
She also bought two sets of clothes for herself to replace the men's suit she was wearing, which was made from Murray's old clothes.
This store is not big, but it is a bit crowded because of the wide variety of goods. The shelves are filled with a wide variety of clothes, and all four walls are hung with various cloths of different patterns and colors. There are also many customers inside who are clamoring to select fabrics and cloths.
When Mary, wearing new clothes, walked out from behind the small curtain, she just raised her eyes so normally, and everyone couldn't help but stare at her with a stunned look.
Even if the fair-skinned beauty with red hair and green eyes wore the simplest clothes, she would still stand out and be radiant against the background of those exquisite fabrics.
In the silence, the boss who had just handed the cloth to her rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered, "Is this the..." The weirdo who was covered in dust and hid his head and face? !
Just then she realized that she had not covered her face. Mary turned around and went back to get a shawl to cover her hair and most of her face. Only then was the group able to leave and walk on the street without attracting so much attention.
The three knights followed behind them. Allen, who saw what Mary looked like for the first time, covered his mouth and cried, tears of envy streaming down from the corners of his mouth.
"She's so beautiful. Aren't beauties like this usually hidden in the palaces and castles of nobles and big businessmen? I didn't expect to see one alive. If she were to walk around the street without covering her face, she'd be snatched away right away..."
"In front! Stop!"
Hearing this shout, Allen shut his mouth, and the two female knights also showed expressions of "Damn it, you guessed it right" at the same time.
A long-tusked elephant was walking down the street behind him, with a dome palace that could accommodate more than a dozen people coiled on its body. It was surrounded by mighty guards, each carrying a weapon, and servants carrying all kinds of rare goods.
The civilians on the street retreated consciously like a school of threatened fish, well-trainedly avoiding the predator's mouth and watching from a distance.
The speaker was a man standing on the frame of an elephant cart. He looked down and asked, "We want to buy him. How much?"
If they are spotted by nobles and big businessmen, most commoners will happily agree to buy them in exchange for a sum of money that they may not be able to earn in their entire lives. The few who disagree will eventually be forced to agree.
Abi and the other two recognized that this was the elephant carriage of Guy, a famous merchant in the city. They stopped in front of Meili at the same time and said, "Unfortunately, our friend is not happy about it."
The man on the elephant carriage waved his hands to let them stand aside, pointing clearly at Murray, "Our master wants to buy this man."
The three people protecting Mary: “…” I didn’t expect that.
Allen turned his head and looked at Murray with a new perspective. The three of them were shocked by Murray's strength at the beginning, so they didn't pay much attention to his appearance. Now, putting aside the amazement at his strength and taking a closer look, he is actually very handsome. Even Allen, a man, has to admit: Brother, I underestimated you.
They look good but appear to have no status, so they are easily robbed regardless of whether they are men or women.
In the Elephant Cart Palace, a well-maintained middle-aged woman wearing jewels and precious stones lifted the curtain and said arrogantly, "Who among you is his owner? I am willing to spend a bag of gems to buy him."
Murray looked like a poor man in his ragged clothes that he refused to take off, and the daughter of the big businessman Guy never thought that she would be rejected.
But Murray, who was stuck here and in a bad mood, had no concept of whether to refuse or not. In his place, anyone who came up to cause trouble without wearing a priest knight's uniform could be killed.
When he has the appearance of a monster, he acts more like a human, and when he has the appearance of a human, he acts more like a beast.
Before anyone could react, he jumped onto the elephant's back and kicked the ornately decorated little palace down with one kick. The palace fell to the ground and rolled twice. Screams instantly resounded throughout the street.
In the midst of this chaos, Murray naturally took Meili away.
Meili could foresee the result of being hunted down, but she didn't feel scared, and it wasn't the first time. She was only thinking about the things she hadn't finished buying.
"Let's finish shopping and go back early."
The three knights followed and suggested to them, "Why don't you go to our temple to avoid the limelight for a while? The big businessman just now is very rich and dotes on his daughter. He will definitely come to settle accounts with you. If you stay in the temple, they can't do anything to you."
Once again being ruthlessly rejected, the trio of knights returned to the temple, worried about the safety of Guy's thugs.
As the first group of knights to return from the Arctic this year, Captain Abby still needs to go to the old pastor to tell them what happened along the way.
She said goodbye to her two companions and headed for the priest's tower alone. The church was much colder in the summer than at other times. She walked through the courtyard and passed the medicine hall under the priest's tower.
Several knights who were recovering from injuries saw her shadow from the window and shouted, "Hey, you're back so early, are you guys being lazy again?"
Abby stood outside the window with his arms propped up and looked in. "It was boring, so I came back early. Oh, wasn't there a red-haired, green-eyed woman with the half-blooded monster you mentioned last time? I saw her."
The knight who was recovering from his wounds suddenly sat up: "What! You saw that hybrid monster!" These injured knights were all injured by that guy, and they had long been thinking about avenging their previous humiliation.
Abby shrugged, "You didn't see the half-blood monster. The woman was abandoned by it and is now with another human man. It's impossible for you to find the half-blood monster through her."
After saying this, he didn't care about these people's reactions, reached out to close the window, and climbed up the priest's tower with light steps.
The oldest priest living here is always slow in speaking and doing things, perhaps because of his age. Among a group of radical priests who hate Warcraft, he is a rare peaceful person.
Abby rocked in her chair and chatted with him casually about this summer hunting trip. After taking notes, she suddenly asked, "Reverend Devin, I remember listening to your stories many years ago. You said that some high-level monsters can transform into human forms, right?"
Pastor Devin slowly opened his drooping eyelids, glanced at her, and smiled gently, "You also said that those are just stories. How can a monster turn into a human?"
"Okay." Abby stood up and walked away gracefully.
She had long suspected that Muri was not a human, but a hybrid of Warcraft as the knights had described. However, whether it was true or not had little to do with her, and she did not care as much as the other brainwashed knights.
Pastor Devin sat alone in the tower, wearing glasses and reading a book line by line. When he read a certain line, his wrinkled hands suddenly stopped, and a long sigh escaped from his old lips.
He thought of his brother's daughter, the poor child Evie, who was not fit to be a knight, but became one at her father's request and entered the polar hunting.
She returned after a few years of disappearance and gave birth to a monster covered in white hair. Since then, Pastor Devin knew that the ancient texts recorded that special high-level monsters could transform into another form, which was probably true.
His brother Drew, who had devoted his whole life to the holy duties of a priest, was furious when he learned that his daughter had an affair with Warcraft. He took the monster child away and told Evie that he had killed the little monster and abandoned it. As a result, Evie was so shocked that she fell ill.
After Evie's death, Drew probably regretted his decision and eventually gave up his life as a priest and went to the polar regions, never to return until his death.
