Chapter 81 A Born Monster
Chael placed the Hermit Card into the ring that Megas had taken off the night before, and then put the ring back on Megas's finger.
"Open your eyes."
"Shael said, holding Megos's hand."
Megoss opened her eyes with some anticipation, but was somewhat disappointed to see that she was wearing a ring given to her by her fiancé.
She looked at Xia Er with a resentful expression, without saying a word.
"Please wear your hat for a little longer before the two parties complete their leadership transition."
Xia Er spoke politely.
"And then what?"
Megoss pursed her lips and looked at Chael pitifully.
"after?"
"If you feel comfortable living in Tingen, then stay in Tingen and stay with your parents. If you want to visit Backlund, then go visit the capital of Loen, although there's nothing special about it, and the atmosphere isn't as good as Tingen."
Xia Er stretched and said casually.
"I want to go to Backlund."
Megos hugged Chael and buried her head in his chest, whispering something.
Her eyes were filled with longing for the "Land of Hope," the "City of All," Backlund.
"This is not an either-or choice."
"You'll only know which lifestyle suits you best after you've experienced it."
"Of course, if you want to go to Backlund, I'd be happy to welcome you."
"I was thinking of opening a mask factory in Backlund, but I also have church work to do. If you could help me, it would make my life much easier."
Chael felt that believers in the god of steam and machinery should be more open-minded in this regard.
"Can I really help you?"
Megoss was both confident and insecure.
But she really wanted to try.
"You're already helping me."
Chael glanced down at the ring that Megos was wearing.
He will not come to Tingen again.
Megoss is Chael's last resort in intervening in the city of Tingen.
"I."
Megos instinctively covered the ring with her hand.
It wasn't honorable, and she felt somewhat guilty as well.
"You simply chose what you wanted, and we all know that."
"Perhaps it's despicable, but I still think, it's that simple, isn't it?"
As she spoke, Xia Er removed her right hand, which was covering her left hand.
When doing things, there are things we want to do and things we don't want to do.
Morality only affects whether one wants to or not.
If you're going to do it, there's no need to deceive yourself.
So what if it's despicable? At least I'm happy.
"Yes, I think so."
Megoss gazed into Chael's deep eyes and slowly exhaled.
She still felt some guilt towards Lanius, and also self-reproach.
But she really did want to.
She could neither deceive herself nor the person in front of her, and she no longer concealed the ring on her hand.
Although it was immoral, she still chose to betray.
"Let's go have breakfast together."
Chael touched her blonde hair, changed into some light clothes, and left the room.
After breakfast, Xia Er instructed Councilor Maynard's butler to escort Megalos back home.
On a whim, he decided to visit the underground trading market in Tingen.
As long as it's not excessive, Congressman Maynard can reimburse you for whatever you buy.
The address was something I casually asked while playing cards with the night watchmen.
When you're losing money, asking any questions is quite simple.
Dock District, Dragon Bar.
Since she was just strolling around, Xia Er wasn't in a hurry to go to the underground trading market behind the bar.
He watched the boxing match for a while with the other patrons.
Although it was a battle between ordinary people, it was still quite novel, and he even treated the winner to a glass of Southwell beer.
After watching the boxing match, we entered a billiards room, where both referees looked over.
Although Chael is a newcomer, beer is the passport here.
He didn't want to drink the beer here, but he didn't mind treating the other person to the secret door.
We passed through several rooms in a row.
He arrived at a place that looked like a lecture hall.
There were many people setting up roadside stalls, and Xia Er felt like she was at a temple fair.
He didn't have a very clear goal.
Simply enjoy the pleasure of shopping.
What you buy is secondary.
He bought golden-edged sunflowers and aconite juice from a stall; these are auxiliary materials for the Solar Pathway Sequence 8 Prayer for Light.
Then, as he continued walking, he sensed something spiritually. He turned around and saw a pale-faced young man wearing a tattered linen shirt, with a vacant look in his eyes, exuding a kind of half-dreaming, half-awake madness.
After noticing Xia'er's gaze, he first froze, then cried out in surprise, shrinking to the ground like a quail, muttering something about a monster.
You, a half-sequence 9 monster from the monster path, say I'm a monster?
Xia Er stared at this guy, speechless. He thinks he can predict my future? You'd better get a couple of nosebleeds, wouldn't you? Am I that bad?
Upon hearing the noise, passing customers and vendors glanced at it briefly before looking away, seemingly accustomed to it.
"Quiet."
Xia Er gently kicked the young man who was curled up on the ground.
Admitso covered his mouth, his body still trembling slightly, but he dared not make a sound. This half-extraordinary, the Night Watcher of Tingen City, the Punisher, and the Mechanical Heart, were all known to the three official extraordinary forces.
However, none of them had the monster-path potion recipes, not even Sequence 9, so they were not included in the official organization.
After all these years, you still haven't solved the problem yourself. You're not lucky.
Shael dismissed Admirsol's potential in the Monster Path.
"Stand up and come with me."
He kicked the young man on the ground again and commanded in a flat tone.
It's just a Sequence 9 recipe from the Monster Path. Tingen City doesn't have it, and the Church of the Night's Backlund parish wouldn't possibly not have it.
Admiral's inspiration was high, which also meant that he was quite "sensible" and silently got up from the ground to follow Chael.
This time, passersby gave Xia Er a second look.
But these people clearly had no interest in meddling in other people's business.
Xia'er continued strolling around and bought some fairy flowers when she saw them for sale.
The essential oil blend made from this flower has a very nice scent.
After browsing through the stalls for a while, Xia Er walked to the trading room run by the behind-the-scenes boss of the underground market and met a burly old man wearing a hood.
"Can I see your product list?"
"I asked, sitting in the chair provided for the customers," said Xia Er.
The old man glanced at him, then continued drinking without saying a word.
"We're all in the same industry."
Chael drew a crimson moon on her chest.
The old man frowned slightly; a stranger.
"I'm taking that monster with me. After all, he was 'taken care of' by you. I'm saying goodbye to you."
Xia Er is quite particular, and even if he doesn't say it, the owner here will know.
"You're from Backlund, aren't you?"
This time, the old man finally handed over a list.
