Civilization Guardian Front

[Remarks: The mission reward equipment is the price for the commander of the seventh army to leave the army station to rescue the executor, and it will be deducted at the time of settlement]

---------------

After revisiting the mission log, Chios, who had changed his clothes, took off the emblem light curtain, took the first-level armed long sword from Estier, and tied it around his waist.

"Would you like to send some guards to accompany you out?"

"No need."

Chios shook his head and declined the deputy head's extra kindness.

Counting the improvement obtained after advancing to Lv.4, his four attributes of strength, agility, spirit, and charisma have all broken through the 30 mark. Although the physique of 29 points is slightly inferior, it has reached the upper level of a Lv.6 adventurer.

To describe it in a specific way, it is probably as strong as Grace who has not activated his skills, and his agility is on par with Finn who has not used Berserk magic.

As for charm, there is still a gap compared to Freya, and it shouldn't be a problem to compete with Ishtar.

The basic abilities capped at Lv.6, the charm of the god of beauty...

Even if the love sword is not by his side, the ghost energy cannot be used, and the pain in his right eye comes from time to time, there are still very few people in this city who can pose a threat to him.

To be precise, only Oita is eligible.

For adventurers who are dissatisfied with Lv.5, Chios can block the opponent's actions with just his eyes without even using his hands.

"Tell Nazha for me that I want to eat confit duck leg and fried elderflower pie as the main dishes for dinner, and she can freely choose the appetizer and dessert."

After Chios finished speaking, he drew a rune of light with his sword finger, concealed himself with optical camouflage, opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Okay, Lord Chios."

Estier secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he gave instructions on the menu for dinner, it meant that Chios would not spend the night outside.At the same time, it also meant that she would not have to face the jealous goddess Hestia and the group members to question her later.

...

Walking low-key through the bustling streets, Chios came to the outskirts of the city outside the walls of Oraris.

The destination was his unassuming estate in the suburban woods.

knock knock...

He raised his hand and knocked on the closed door.

got no response.

Chios simply took out the key, and unlocked the door with a "click".

Entering the courtyard, he quickly found the elf girl knelt on the grass in the not-so-large atrium, weaving a wreath.

"Mourning Fairy" Mayfair Weiss Sharia...

Former head of the now defunct Dionysus Familia.

"If you are here, please at least say yes."

"..."

Wrapping a white flower stem and knotting it, she put down the half-made garland with her hand, and then Fairwes spoke:

"What are you doing here?"

"Send the necessities of life to you who stay at home."

"unnecessary."

"Use or not is up to you."

Not paying attention to the elf's cold words at all, the young man left the other party and walked towards the house behind the flower garden.

As expected, the mourning goblin got up and followed.

"Because I don't know what you like to eat, I prepared some ingredients. Considering that elves have a keen sense of smell and taste, it is not suitable for strong drinks, so I brought the fruit wine of "Mistress of Abundance"..."

As Chios said, he took out a crate full of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat and a wooden barrel for wine from the emblem space.

Watching him arrange the ingredients by category, Mayfair Weisi's hands hanging on both sides of the skirt became tighter and tighter.

"Why help me..."

Nails pierce the skin of the palm.

He wanted to suppress the turmoil in his heart, but as soon as the first sentence was blurted out, his emotions became uncontrollable.

slap...

Dark red blood dripped to the ground.

"My hands are stained with the blood of innocent adventurers. The sins I committed have long been irreparable, and I almost killed you! Why can you act like none of this happened?"

"Why not kill me? Why not just let me rot in a man-made maze?"

"How many times do you have to ask this question before you are willing?" Chios said helplessly.

"If you want to die, with your current physique, you can find a rope to solve it yourself, and I don't need to do it at all."

Five days ago, when Chios and Tifa, who got the eye key, were exploring the man-made maze Knossos, they found Felvis curled up in a corner with empty eyes in an empty and dark room.

he still remembers...

Hearing the noise, the other party raised his face in a daze, and the moment he recognized the person, tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Didn't you cry with joy when you knew I wasn't dead? I said I would take you back to the surface, but you didn't object..."

Putting the fruit basket on the dining table, Chios turned back with a gentle smile.

"Answer me honestly, what answer do you want from me?"

"..."

Facing Chios' smile, Mayfair Weiss felt unreasonably scared.

She backed away in silence.

But Chios did not let her go, stepped forward to further shorten the distance between the two, and said in a deep voice:

"Please face me squarely and answer carefully, Ms. Mayfair Weiss Shalia."

"I'm not qualified...not qualified for you to be so nice to me..."

"Ah..."

Chios couldn't help laughing.

"I see, you are acting like a spoiled child to me."

"!?" Mayfair Weiss' bright red pupils shrank suddenly.

He wanted to deny it, but his lips seemed to be frozen, unable to make a sound for a long time.

"It's hard to get rid of the monster-like body. In fact, you also hope to start again in your heart, but you can't forgive the sins you committed in the past..."

One hand was pressed against the wall beside the elf, and the other hand slowly rested on her cheek.

Ignoring the other party's begging eyes, Chios lowered his head and leaned closer to Mayfair's ear.

"So you want to hear me say that I need you. Whether it's to use your powers or just play with your body, it's a kind of redemption for you."

"Because of this kind of compensatory mentality, you don't even realize that you are deliberately exhausting my patience, eager to be abused by me as your benefactor... Tsk, it's so twisted and hopeless Medicine. Are elves with a noble and pure appearance like this in their hearts?"

The contemptuous tone tore apart the elf's self-esteem, tearing out bloodily the true thoughts she tried so hard to hide.

Fairway's body trembled violently.

The panic of being discovered and the shame of being scolded and despised stimulated every sensitive nerve like an electric shock.

"I..."

"Unfortunately, I won't let your wish come true."

One sentence cut off Mayfair Weiss' thoughts.

Withdrawing his hand, Chios walked towards the door as if he had lost interest in Fairways.

"I'm of no use to you, do you mean that?"

"No, even though you lost the power of a monster, you still have a level of Lv.3, and you can upgrade to Lv.4 at any time. Considering that you are still so young, you must be the talent that any family can only dream of."

"Then why!?"

"Everything is according to your will, what kind of atonement? You spoiled woman, teach me to be patient..."

Chios raised his index finger and shook it, indicating that the other party was too naive.

"In the past, you thought that you became a monster, and you wanted to find a reason to live when you had to die. You chose to live by relying on others. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But it's different now. Since a miracle has brought you back to life, please continue to struggle until you find out the meaning of living... At least, I hope you will stop being used by people like me."

"..."

"Give you a piece of advice..." Noticing the change in Mayfair Weiss' eyes, Chios turned around to remind him out of kindness before leaving:

"Don't fall in love with me, I can assure you, this is a road of no return."

Watching the youth go away...

The elf girl sat on the ground powerlessly.

"Too late..."

Chapter 760: Return of Justice

"According to the latest evidence found in the man-made labyrinth recently, the remnants of the dark faction have used a large number of blame-setting methods, arranging the scene of the death and injury of the internal staff of the guild as the work of "Gallery" Lyu Leon.After an investigation by the guild, it has been confirmed that the real target of the "Speed ​​Wind" is only the remnant members of the dark faction who have hurt people. "

"In view of this, the guild has decided to cancel the arrest and reward for "Geek" Lyu Leon immediately. "

"I, Royman, feel deeply ashamed of the serious negligence that caused "Shate Wind" to bear unjust charges due to insufficient relevant evidence and testimony over the years, and promised to do everything possible to double compensate "Shate Wind" for all reputation and property losses it has suffered so far. "

Whoa! ! ! !

Holding the official document signed by the guild leader, the announcement was announced in the squares of Olali's urban areas, and the official voice fell, and the whole city was submerged in the boiling noise.

"I knew it! I knew that Hayate was wronged! "

"Justice has finally been served!"

"The gang of dark faction bosses are indiscriminate, they really deserve death!"

"Hmph, Royman's pig finally did something decent. At least he has the courage to admit his mistakes, and he can correct his mistakes."

"It turned out to be like this..."

"I thought Leon Gale was completely blinded by revenge, but now it seems that I have misunderstood her all the time. "

Most of the citizens who cheered loudly clapped each other, hugged and congratulated each other, and some people who thought that "Shangfeng" was too aggressive showed emotion.

It turned out that everything was a trick of the evil faction.

Justice is always justice and has never fallen.

There is no doubt that this is a happy ending that meets everyone's inner expectations.

Therefore, it can be quickly accepted by them.

However, the truth is of course not that simple...

"A bunch of fools."

Standing by the window of the headquarters office, looking at the happy people in the square, Royman felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

Lucy Leon, who was driven by a strong desire for revenge back then, tried her best to avoid harming the innocent, but as long as she caught someone with a little connection with the dark faction, even if the other party only received a small bribe from the dark faction's remnants, her means would be absolute. Not mild at all.

The use of lynching is an inescapable crime for "Hayate".

If it hadn't been for the consideration of the tragedy of the [Asteria Familia] dedicating themselves to fight against the darkness, and the fact that only one survived in the end, and the fact that the public opinion was almost overwhelmingly in favor of "Hayate", how could the guild that discovered Lyu hiding in the tavern not issue an arrest for so long? make.

Lv.6 The protection of the "little giant" does have a deterrent effect on ordinary forces, but it is impossible to restrain the guild that governs the city.

Taking a step back, even if the guild really doesn't intend to hold Lyu accountable, from the standpoint of the management organization, the most appropriate approach should be to deal with it coldly.

For example, it is determined that "Gate" is dead, and the wanted bounty is silently withdrawn...

Instead of admitting mistakes and overturning the verdict with great fanfare.

Smart people who have a deep understanding of guild operations can probably see that there are more complicated reasons behind this abnormal move.
