Nellid's eyes blinked after listening to Richard's long words, and she felt that there were almost as many people who understood as there were those who didn't. But I really felt that my body was heating up quickly, as if I was on fire, my whole body was sweating uncontrollably, my clothes were sticking to the surface of my body, and I was extremely uncomfortable.

The next moment, she didn't hesitate to do anything, got up from the bed, leaned against the wall and walked outside, and entered the bathroom.

......

in the bathroom.

With a "poof", Nellid entered the bath bucket filled with clean water, and the feeling of heat in her whole body eased.

After a long time, the burning sensation in my body disappeared, but the distress in my heart did not decrease but increased.

Nellid discovers that the problem she is facing is really unsolvable: if she wants to be responsible, she must repay the people who saved her life. But in a very short period of time, she simply couldn't pay it back. It will not be possible to stay and return to the jungle hut after repaying the favor. Just walked away, and it was not something she could accept in her heart.

What the hell should I do?

Could it be that her name really has to be reversed?

Clark Delinay?

It's hard to hear, so she doesn't want it.

That......

Nellid hid in the tub and thought about it for a long time, and finally she had an idea, and she decided: to return to the jungle hut and be responsible.

So......

The next moment, Nellid shouted and said outside, "Hey!"

......

In the yard.

Richard was thinking about what way it would be better to extract the metal from molybdenite, when he suddenly heard a voice from the bathroom: "Hey, hey, hey!" and shouted several times in a row.

"What's wrong?" Richard replied.

"Uh, that ......" the voice in the bathroom was silent for a moment, then said, "Something, you can come in for a while." ”

Standing in front of the bathroom door, Richard confirmed, "Are you really going to let me in?"

"Yes. The inside of the door gave a definite answer.

"Oh well. Richard pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Nellid soaked in the tub.

"Feeling unwell, or what's wrong?" asked Richard.

"Nope. Nellid shook her head, the water in the tub shook slightly, making a "bang" sound, and then looked at it very seriously, "I just want to make one thing clear to you." ”

"Explain something?

"Whew-"

Nelid took a deep breath: "You should know that I have a favor to repay, right? ”

"So?" Richard said, looking at Nellid's outcropping head and collarbones, "Are you trying to blame me for saving you when I fainted before, causing you to owe me a favor again?"

"Of course not!" Nellid frowned, "how could I be like that! You saved me, naturally for my good, I want to thank you, how can I blame you." But in any case, I owe you a favor, and I must pay it back to you. ”

"You don't have to. ”

"Huh?"

"You were injured to help me bring back the Grey Moon Stone, right? ”

"No, it shouldn't be that way. Nellid thought clearly, "I helped you get the Grey Moon Stone back because you saved me for the first time before." I relied on myself to get it back, so I could be considered to have paid off the favor. And the second time you saved me, it was a new favor that could not be offset. ”

"Are you making trouble for yourself?" Richard couldn't help but say, "You should leave Florence today, right?

"I've found a way to be responsible. Nellid said solemnly.

"Found a way to be responsible?" Richard was curious, "in what way?"

"Whoa!"

The sound of water sounded, and Nerid suddenly stood up from the tub, and the whole person was not hanging. The wet hair was draped behind him, and a large number of silver droplets rolled down the smooth skin of the wheat and fell back into the bucket with a pleasant sound, like music.

In Richard's eyes, he saw a scene:

In the field full of life, two small hills bulge, and pink flowers bloom among the flowers at the top, which is very cute. Surrounded by a hill, there is a golden rice field, exuding a faint aroma of rice, and the ravines form smooth lines, making the rice field look exquisite and beautiful. Behind the rice field, there is a pool of water, in which a few sparse aquatic plants float, and a few small blue fish swim slowly, occasionally spitting out a few bubbles, and then seem to be frightened, quickly dived into the depths of the water and disappeared......

"Hmm......" Richard exclaimed, slightly surprised, but not shocked, to be honest, Nellid's behavior, although somewhat unexpected to him, was far from reaching an incredible level.

But it was a little strange that Richard looked at Nellid and asked, "What is this?"

"Whoa!"

There was another sound of water, and Nellid sat back in the bathtub, looked up and said seriously: "Just now, it was my promise to you! You saved my life, but I can't repay your favor, but it doesn't matter, I can marry you."

You just looked at my body, and that's how I am responsible for you—according to our tradition, only the man I'm going to marry can see my whole body.

But I can't marry you now, because I have a lot to do back to the jungle hut, and I have a lot to learn from my teacher, and I have to help a cat school girl learn. So, I made an appointment with you for three years. In three years, when I'm almost an official wizard, I'll marry you. You must wait for me. ”

Richard: "......"

After being silent for a long time, he asked a question: "Is there really no problem with 'marrying' this son? What is the tradition of your clan?"

Nelid replied earnestly: "I am from the Assyrians, and in our tribe, women have a much higher status than men, and generally women are involved in everything external - wars, diplomacy, etc., while men are responsible for planting, farming, and grazing.

Therefore, a woman must be more responsible than a man, so that she is qualified to take on everything. Therefore, in our people, it is the women who marry the men.

In fact, according to some legends, in the earliest days there were no men in our tribe, only women, and when it was time to give birth, they would buy male slaves from slave traders. After giving birth to a child, if it is a girl, raise her as an adult, and if it is a boy, throw it away.

Of course, now we have changed, and it will not be the same as the legend. As for me, I will not be like the rest of the clan - marrying several men, and I have to be responsible for you alone - I will definitely marry you in three years. It's my promise, how about it, okay?!"

Richard: "......" was silent again, and couldn't help but think, this is a ...... Three-year covenant???
