Ka rubbed his eyes, tried hard to cheer up, and looked at Mealli, who was sitting on the balcony overlooking the scenery with respect and love.

Luka is a magic envoy. She was originally just the daughter of a farmer, but due to the policies of the Leah Empire, she, like most ordinary magicians, passed the test, paid tuition fees, and entered the academy to study.

In the eyes of her parents, it was already a very glorious and glorious thing for her daughter to enter the academy. Moreover, as long as she can complete her studies, Luka can get a satisfactory job, and even if she cannot become a magician, she is enough to support her family. After all, it is only possible for the whole people to learn magic that only by the Leah Empire can do. In other countries, not to mention that there are not many magicians, there are even few magicians. As long as she can skip the internship class, there is no problem as an ordinary person to support her family.

Like most magicians who have not become magicians, Luka no longer studies magic, but focuses on other academic aspects and waits for the end of her studies with peace of mind.

Until Yiming issued a notice to recruit entourages at the academy.

Long before, Luka had heard of the glorious deeds of Yiming and Mealee from her classmates. Like them, Luka also looked forward to the two of them. But at the beginning, Luka did not have the courage to submit an application. After all, she knew very well that she was just a magician. She did not have particularly complacent skills, and she was good at etiquette and history. She was not a useful person at all. If it weren't for the encouragement of her friends, she wouldn't want to take the initiative to apply to be a minion.

But the development of things went beyond Luka's expectations. Her friend was eventually defeated, but Luka was selected. This surprised Luka herself. She had woken up countless times from her dreams, hoping that someone would walk into her room, and then tell her that all this was wrong. She was not selected. Everything was just a dream, just a small negligence and error or accident. However, Luka's "prayer" obviously did not receive a response. Although she was still wondering if the college locals made a mistake when she got on the carriage, when she arrived in the city of Azus, Luka finally began to try to accept reality instead of escaping in the dream.

Of course, as an emerging city, Azus City is far less prosperous than Lily Flower City, but it has a bit more natural beauty. Moreover, work in the castle is also very easy. Although the monthly compensation is not much, it is enough to maintain the expenses. This is already a very good job for Luka.

Originally, according to the regulations, each nobleman had his own maid and guard, but Yiming and Meallie did not choose their own maids and seemed careless about the choice of guards. Not to mention that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked - no, it should be said that he followed suit. Even with Marian, Lucia and Belloga had never chosen their own eunuch. Except for Elinoa, because she was a royal princess, she had to have a servant on her side, no matter whether she wanted to or not, the rest of the people had basically never cared about this.

Of course, from the standpoint of Meyali and others, dealing with the threats of foreign enemies and maintaining the safety of the Forest of Life is their primary task. As for the trivial matters such as who will dress and whom, they never considered it. They never expected that this would cause a big problem for the people below.

Since there is no designation above, the people below can only act independently. You can't let all the adults handle the chores by themselves. So what else do they need to do?

However, the problems that arise from this are also very serious.

That is the question of who will serve whom.

Yi Ming was first excluded by the maids. Because everything about him was almost handled by Meyeri and Ice Fish. The maids with some eyes understood that if they helped Yi Ming's dialect without authorization, they would be more suspicious. At least, they might be suspected of being suspected of improving their status. But the next few adults were not a good role to be with.

Because Alinoa was a princess, she was sent by the Wang family to serve her from the beginning, so she could not remember it. Marian made the maids a little nervous. Because she was always very serious and serious on weekdays, there was almost no one who worked around her, fearing that she would make any mistakes and be taught a lesson by her. Although Lucia was not that difficult to get along with, she seemed to be used to living alone. So Lucia dealt with everything about herself in an orderly manner, so that even if the maids wanted to help, they could not find any job to do it. As for Belloga——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And the most important thing is naturally Meali.

For the maids, Mealie should be the ideal master. Although she cannot speak or communicate with herself in words, she does not have the majesty of ordinary nobles and treats the maids very gently. Moreover, for women, Mealie is simply the embodiment of an ideal. Not only does she behave elegantly and beautifully, but also has an extremely gentle personality. If she can speak, she will be a perfect woman.

Moreover, according to unreliable rumors, if you are lucky enough to serve the Meyeri people, you may even hear the music of the music of the legendary instrument called "violin" and the super luxurious treatment of receiving the black tea made by Meyeri.

It is precisely because of this that the first thing the maids do when they open their eyes every day is to "fight" to compete for the right to serve Mealee. Only the winners can get this "great".

Luka can be regarded as the winner.

At first, I was able to serve Meali because I had won a lot of times. But one time later, because Luka was sick, she gave her original work to others. But other maids said that although Meali didn't say anything that day, she asked Master Marian to ask: "Why didn't the little maid who has been helping me come today?"

Therefore, Luka's identity is the only maid among the maids who are determined to have an exclusive owner.

"Mr. Mayalie, are you tired? The weather is cooler today, so it's better to have a breakfast break..."

However, for some reason, Meyali's expression seemed a little solemn and tired today, which made Luka ask with some concern. Meyali smiled at her and shook her head. Lord Yiming and Lord Ice Fish were not there, which made Luka dimly confused. After all, in her memory, these three adults were almost inseparable, and now both of them disappeared. Although Luka was inconvenient to ask about the reason in the position of a maid, she was still a little worried. After all, she served Meyali.

It's time, and I've never seen her show a similar expression.

Finally, Mealie stood up, then nodded in Luka, and then walked into the bedroom, indicating that she was going to rest. So Luka also saluted quickly and then left the room quietly.

"call………"

After closing the heavy door, Luka then breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not as afraid of being scolded at any time in front of Lord Mayale as she was in front of Lord Marien, she was also nervous. After all, Luka longed for and respected Meale from the bottom of her heart, for fear that if she had any negligence in her actions, she would lose her current job. So every time she was in front of Meale, she would strive for perfection to avoid mistakes.

"Although it's time to rest next, Lord Mayale seems to be in a bad mood. Just pick some flower dew honey..."

After making the decision, Luka walked towards the forest outside the castle.

Late at night, the city of Azus was a little deserted, and the lights of fire in the distance began to disappear, indicating that a city began to fall into a deep sleep. Luka walked carefully on the street and looked around from time to time. Due to the patrol team led by Elinoa, the security in Azus City was also very good, and there were almost no particularly serious criminal cases. Moreover, even if anyone had any intention of Luka, she was the power of a magician, and generally thieves and robbers were not the opponent of this girl.

"Um?"

At this moment, Luka found a group of adventurers gathered in front of him, as if they were buying and selling something. After discussing around for a long time, they left indignantly, which seemed very strange. Although Luka was just a magician, she was also familiar with the actions of the mercenaries after staying in Azus City for so long. This was the first time she had seen such a strange situation. Generally speaking, mercenaries only bought some practical things. Even if they couldn't afford it because of their expensiveness, they would pester the merchants to see if there was a possibility of turning around. But like now, it was quite rare to give up while reluctance. With curiosity, Luka also accelerated her pace and came to the merchant's ground.

It was a traveling businessman, and unlike other merchants, the one placed in front of him was not weapons, nor potions or strange plants and food, but bottles of delicate potions that looked like beautiful liquid.

"Hello, Miss Magician, Beautiful."

Seeing Luka's arrival, the travel merchant smiled very enthusiastically at her.

“Is there anything I need to serve you?”

"This........., what is this?"

Even Luka has never seen such a weird thing before. If it is a potion, but there is no bottle cap, the whole potion seems to be inside from the beginning. And it doesn't look like a small hole opened for people to drink. What is this?

"Ah, this is a magic spice."

The businessman began enthusiastically and introduced.

"As long as you light it, it will emit a gentle fragrance, which will not only make your mind clear, but also feel very comfortable. Especially when you are tired, just light it, it will make you full of energy. Originally, I spent a lot of money to get this spice that is only sold in the south, but it seems... it seems that no one likes it."

As he said that, the merchant smiled bitterly and shook his head. No wonder, most of the people gathered in Azus were adventurers. Their goal was to explore the remains, and they were not here to spend time and lively. It would be useless to have such expensive spices. It is impossible to fight wild animals while lighting spices.

When he heard "can relieve fatigue", Luka couldn't help but feel moved and immediately recalled Mealli's somewhat tired expression before.

If you give this to Lord Mayalie, it will definitely relieve her fatigue.

"How much does it cost?"

"Five hundred gold coins."

When Luka heard this price, he couldn't help but gasp. Five hundred gold coins were almost the sum of her annual rewards. No wonder this merchant had no results in buying and selling here. In emerging cities like Azus, everyone is busy making money, so where can they spend extra money on it? Although she was very moved by this spice, it was too expensive. So when she thought of this, Luka raised her head and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the merchant.

"Wait, please wait a moment, this respected lady of the Magician, are you from that castle?"

In Azus City, the magician could only come from two places, one is the castle and the other is the branch of the academy. And Luka did not wear the magical costume of the academy, so it was no wonder that the merchant had this guess.

Luka hesitated for a moment and nodded at the merchant's inquiry.

"Then, I'll give you this bottle of spices for free, please enjoy it."

"Why?"

Facing the spices brought by the merchant, Luka showed a look of surprise. The spices of 500 gold coins were given for free. Even the naive people would notice something was wrong.

"If you are from that castle, we will have the opportunity to do business in the future. Moreover, this can be used as a trial product. You can try whether it is that good and then make a decision. Every evening, I will set up stalls here, and if there is any problem, you can come to me at any time."

"But……………"

Luka frowned.

"Come on, don't rush to refuse, how about enjoying it?"

As he said that, the merchant lit one of the bottles of spices and handed it over.

The faint fragrance captured the girl's heart in an instant, and she was almost immediately addicted to it. Luka not only felt that the fatigue of the day had been completely eliminated and disappeared, but she even felt energetic. It didn't matter if she didn't sleep all night. Such a magical spice could not even compare to it. So Luka did not hesitate anymore, and took the bottle and solemnly put it in her arms.

At this moment, Yi Ming and Ice Fish opened their eyes in surprise and stared at the prey in front of them.

The black shadows didn't know whether they gave up resistance or other reasons, but eventually took off their robes that had been wrapped around them.

But their true form surprised the two.

Under the light of the fire, the skin that was almost festering was shining with a metallic luster. Everyone had a high bulge behind them. Although they could barely see that they were humans, just looking at their bodies, it was no different from monsters. Their fingers were thin and long, and their nails were extremely sharp. Some people even had swollen tumors on their faces, emitting foul odor.

The girl who was talking to Yi Ming was also covered with her hair, with one eye already. She just stared at the two of them, her hands holding the torch kept trembling.

"Master, sir. Please let us go. We just want to live quietly and don't want to get into any trouble..."

“……………………”

Yi Ming frowned. He seemed to have heard the girl's voice somewhere, but he should not be very familiar with it... Although Yi Ming has the abnormal ability to manipulate his brain, he is just a human after all. He has to compare all the voices he has heard one by one. Yi Ming is not good at this kind of non-human job.

However, the ground ice fish behind him was an absolute artificial machine.

"Dad, her voice is somewhat similar to Marien."

"Hmm? It's true......"

That’s right, Yi Ming finally recalled it after hearing the reminder of Bingyu.

Just listening to the sound, the girl in front of her spoke was 70 to 80% similar to Marien, but her momentum was completely different from Marien. Simply put, it was like a cowardly version of Marien. It was this strong contrast that made Yi Ming not recall it for a while.

However, the girl in front of her couldn't match Marien no matter how she looked. Moreover, Marien never said that she had a sister or something...

"Do you know Marien Ryder?"

However, with a cautious attitude, Yi Ming still asked.

"Why?"

Hearing this sentence, the black shadows suddenly became turbulent. The girl in the lead changed her expression and she stared at Yi Ming in surprise.

"Big, sir...you are..."

"My name is Yiming, and her name is Bingyu."

Yi Ming briefly introduced himself, but the girl murmured their names twice, but showed a puzzled expression. Obviously, she didn't know the two.

"Depending on your appearance, are you people who have a relationship with Marien?"

Yi Ming glanced at the shadows. Although they were ugly, they were all children and could not hide their expressions at all. So after hearing Marien's name, they all reacted immediately, which was completely different from the previous lifelessness. This was a real surprise. Yi Ming originally made the decision to pursue them just to find out the reality of these shadows and improve his vigilance and ice fish. He had never expected that he would meet a person related to Marien here.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Since you have arrived, just ask clearly.

The shadows calmed down again, and after a while, the girl finally spoke again.

Yiming had never seen them, and they did not know Yiming. This was really normal, because these black shadows were not Marian's immediate relatives, but their cousins. After Brad's rebellion failed, except for Marien himself who was exempted from death due to the relationship between Iming and Mayali, all the immediate relatives were executed, and the Brad family's cousins ​​were not spared. Everyone was deprived of their citizens' rights and was reduced to slaves.
