Nadette's face was as black as ink, while Lux looked indifferent.

After a while, Nadette's face gradually changed to normal, and he said helplessly, "Okay, I'll let the butler go later." Lux, since you have the intention of becoming a female lord, you must learn to be kind to your people. I don't ask you to treat them as if they were relatives, they live here, they see this as their home, they will build their home, they will pay taxes, they will fight to protect their home, but their home, in fact, is your home, they are sending you money, they are helping you manage this home, they are helping you fight against invaders, shouldn't you be a little nicer to them? “

Not...... Lux thought for thought.

Nadette knew that her daughter had never listened to the truth, so she had to use interests to convince her.

Sure enough, Lux fell into thought.

Nadette's situation is somewhat similar to that of Uther, the lord of Winterwind, with both of them having only one daughter. The difference is that Nadette's wife has long since died, and he, for some reason, did not remarry, only Heidi had a lover.

Only daughters are very favored, and Barbara has worked hard to become a magician because she has someone she likes, and her personality has not grown crooked.

Lux, on the other hand, has developed a self-respecting personality, which is related to her experience since childhood.

The fact that Echo City is the largest city in France and that Nadette has only one daughter has made all the young nobles, even young professionals, have a bold idea.

And Lux has been flattered by many people since she was a child...... After all, getting her is almost equivalent to getting the entire Echo City.

Echo City has a population of nearly three million, and it is said that there are more than 2,000 gold coins obtained from taxes every year, and in addition to daily expenses and military support, there are at least 1,000 gold coins left every year, which can be said to be living on a pile of money. Whoever marries Lux will directly struggle for a hundred years.

After thinking for a while, Lux reluctantly said, "After that, I will be nicer to those untouchables, and I will not beat and scold them casually." But it's better not to show up in front of me, or I won't be able to control my emotions. ”

Nadai was a little angry, but when he saw his daughter's face, which looked very similar to his deceased wife, he sighed and didn't want to say anything more.

"That's right." Lux suddenly remembered something: "Did you attract a little white face?" I wanted to introduce me to a man again, and I said, don't stuff those rice buckets around me, and drive him away. ”

"Little white face, where did the little white face come from?"

Nadette was a little strange, he didn't think about Beta, after all, Beta's strength and talent were there, a rare handsome talent in the younger generation, who dared to say that he was a little white face.

"It's that little white face with brown hair and eyes that looks like gold."

Thinking about it, Nadette immediately understood who she was referring to. Now he was a little interested: "You mean, Cook has shown you courtesy?" ”

In Nadette's opinion, if there is nothing wrong with Cook's identity, it is not a bad thing to be paired with his daughter. After all, fathers always want their daughters to marry a good man.

"No, he didn't dare." Lux snorted coldly: "He ran away when he saw me." ”

"Since he didn't show courtesy to you, then how can you say that he is a little white face." Nadette was a little disappointed.

"What Urban said, he is a man who has gained your trust by paying lip service." Lux snorted: "The man who even looks down on the waste is not a little white face." ”

Nadette was very smart, and he understood what was going on after thinking about it, most likely because Urbane was jealous of Cook, and was afraid that Cook would steal his daughter's favor, so he played some tricks. He felt that this was nothing, the love scene was like a battlefield, and some means, as long as it was not too much, it was a trivial matter to kill people.

Originally, he wanted to explain, but he knew his daughter's personality too well, and the more he explained, the more he helped someone speak, the more Lux would hate someone. So he didn't say anything, just smiled: "Well, you young people's affairs, solve it yourself." ”

Lux felt that this sentence was a little inexplicable, but considering that her father had never liked to tell herself, she didn't bother to ask any more questions.

"Since you let me come back, you understand that the matter is settled. Can I have my own party that night? ”

"Control it within fifty gold coins, and I will allow you to open it."

Lux was a little disgusted, but after thinking about it, she still said, "Okay, fifty gold coins is fifty gold coins." ”

On the other side, Beta came to the downtown area and found that the atmosphere here was a little solemn. Although the clamor is still there, there is always a heavy atmosphere lingering.

Beta walked around the downtown area, bought some snacks casually, and at the same time heard the discussion of the pedestrians around him, and realized that Payne's body had been transported back to the Temple of Light, and now the Temple of Light was in chaos, and even the usual daily prayers had been canceled.

Most of the people in France believe in the goddess of light, and the death of Payne and the chaos in the temple make them feel unaccustomed and even a little uneasy.

Beta then came to the outside of the Temple of Light, just in time to see Arnold leading a group of Zicheng guards guarding the entrance of the temple, he also saw Beta, and quietly greeted him with his eyes.

Beta understood, and walked alone into the small forest behind the Temple of Light, and there was no one in Shi Shuo. After a while, Arnold walked in.

"Your Excellency also came out to relax?" Arnold asked with a smile, so what happened last night, he was quite grateful to Beta and felt quite good about Beta.

Beta nodded: "I slept too much and had a sore back...... Has the situation in the temple been suppressed? ”

"It's under control for the time being, but it will take some time for them to see the reality." Arnold sighed: "I don't understand, why the saint must be in power, for thousands of years, the saint was just a symbol, but now she is jumping, this thousands of years of rules, what is it." ”

"Probably the temptation of power." Beta said casually.

"It's not because of this, it's because of the different interpretations of the doctrine." Arnold suddenly asked, "Lord Cook is not a believer in the goddess of light, so why should he be involved in our struggle?" ”

"Power." Beta smiled: "I have a noble status myself, but I am not a real nobleman. If you want to rise, there are only two ways, one is military merit, and the other is ...... There are big people to help me recommend. Our country of France is invincible in the world, and who dares to come to us for trouble, so don't think about military merit for the time being, then you can only take the latter road. ”

Beta smiled shyly, "The Temple of Light can affect the royal family. If the Pope faction is in power, then I will probably get some reward for following the city lord. ”

"Okay, you're a young man, you're self-motivated." Arnold patted Beta on the shoulder approvingly: "That's how it should be...... Your Excellency, if you have the ability and the ability to act, you will definitely become a great nobleman in the future. ”

"Promise your good words." Beta smiled, then he looked at the temple, "There seems to be some movement inside, do you want me to help?" ”

"No, there are no powerful people in there, it's enough for me to bring a team of guards." Arnold chuckled lightly: "Then let's not talk, Your Excellency let's take a look around, we have a lot of fun things in Echo City...... By the way, there is a woman named Hillary in the Violet Tavern, she is very beautiful, and her skills are even better than frightening, except for the price is a little expensive, everything is good, it will definitely satisfy you, you can go and talk to her. ”

Laughing, Arnold left the grove.

Beta waited in the grove for a while and left. Walking down the main road, he was about to leave the temple confines when his attention was suddenly drawn to a cry.

On the side of the road not far in front of him sat a family, two parents and a daughter.

The one who cried was the mother, the father hung his head on the side, looking lost and low, and the daughter ...... It's a little weird.

Her face was covered with a yellow cloth, revealing only her eyes, nose, and mouth, while yellow water stains could be seen from the yellowed bandage.

Beta's eyesight was very good, and she could see from a distance that the woman sitting on the ground had blank eyes, as if everything had become irrelevant, giving people a rather numb feeling.

It must have been something difficult, Beta walked over with the feeling of whether it would trigger the task or not, and asked, "Do you need any help?" ”

His voice alarmed the family of three, and when they saw Beta, their eyes were full of fear, and the people who looked like father and mother even took a few steps back, and the woman sitting on the ground looked up at him, and her originally numb eyes erupted with hatred.

Beta was a little strange, she didn't seem to have seen these three people, where did their fear and hatred for herself come from?

The woman looked at Beta for a moment, her eyes swollen with hatred vanishing, and then she said, "I don't need any help, unless you can use magic to heal my face." ”

Beta was wearing an ordinary aristocratic costume at this time, not wearing a magic robe or cape, so he looked very much like a young master who was traveling in the mountains and rivers.

"The Temple of Light can heal."

It's not that Beta can't be cured, a healed intermediate injury goes down, and the severed hand can grow back, this woman doesn't know why she was disfigured, although for a woman, disfigurement is a terrible injury like the sky falling, but from a realistic level, from a magical point of view, this is only a minor injury. It's just that it's not cheap to treat a moderately injured scroll, anyway, the Temple of Light can cure it, and they also rely on it to eat, so why waste Beta.

"It can't be cured...... Bishop Payne is gone. ”

Beta raised her eyebrows, Echo City's huge temple of light, only Payne knows how to heal magic? But when you think about it, you understand. The other priests would certainly have been able to heal the wound on the woman's face, but it would not have been possible to restore her face to its original state, and it would have left some scars, or shallow lines of the wound.

Normally, it's ugly.

Beta thought about it, and this matter had something to do with him, after all, Payne was dead at his hands. sighed in his heart, and said: "It's just right, I can help you heal your face, first remove the bandage, and your bandage is not clean, now it is yellow, and there are obvious signs of inflammation, and it will be better to heal if you drag it down." ”

As soon as the two old men next to him heard this, they immediately rushed up, protected them behind them like chickens, and said in horror: "Your Excellency this young master, don't hurt our daughter again." Please! ”

Beta was confused.

But their daughter came out from behind and said to Beta, "Don't blame them, they're also afraid that I'll be hurt again?" ”

"I don't want to ask about the specifics," Beta nodded in understanding, "If you're willing to accept my treatment, remove the bandages, and if you don't, I'll leave immediately." ”

The daughter looked at Beta silently for a moment, her eyes full of scrutiny. Perhaps it was the obsession with her looks that outweighed the vigilance against Beta, she nodded, and began to remove the bandages from her face.

"Daughter......

The mother stopped her, but the daughter was very determined to tear the bandages off her face in circles.

Because of the wrong bandaging technique, some bandages have been slightly glued to the flesh, and in the process of removing them, it is inevitable that there will be tearing places.

The daughter was trembling all over her body in pain, but she didn't say a word, she gritted her teeth and removed all the bandages.

Then Beta was also silent.

What a face this is! It is full of claw marks, staggered and horizontal, and there is hardly a perfect place, and each claw mark is three points into the flesh. At first, Beta thought it was some kind of beast that did it, but if you look closely, it should be a claw mark left by a human, and judging from the strength and marks, it should be left by a woman.

A little bit of yellow water seeped out of the many claw marks, converging on the woman's chin.

A slight fishy smell wafted over.

Killing people is not too much, and torturing a woman like this, it seems that someone should be jealous of this woman's beauty to do this.

"It's disgusting." The woman asked Beta expressionlessly.

Beta didn't answer, just took out the healing scroll for moderate injuries from space and tore it open.

The milky white magic light covered the woman's whole body, and the people around her almost couldn't open their eyes, and after about ten seconds, the light dissipated, and a very delicate woman appeared in front of everyone.

The woman's father and mother were startled for a moment, then rushed over and took turns holding their daughter in their arms, kissing and crying.

The woman gently touched her face...... Smooth and soft, her tears couldn't help but fall.

After a while, she looked around, only to find that there was no sign of Beta.

"This must be the salvation of the goddess of light." The woman bowed three times to the Temple of Light, then turned to her parents and said, "Let's get out of this city, if that woman sees me again, she will definitely scratch my face, let's go now." ”

The parents nodded vigorously.

Beta wandered around for a while, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and at the gate, he heard the City Lord faintly say: "Give that girl more money, apologize to her more, and then take her to the Temple of Light, see if you can help her restore her previous appearance, and her attitude must be good." ”

The butler nodded, taking the words to heart.

After the explanation, Nadette turned his head and saw that Beta was not far away, so he smiled: "Your Excellency Cook, we will have another banquet in the evening, please come down and attend." ”

Banquet...... Beta pondered whether or not to attend.

"Don't let him come, I don't need a little white face at my banquet."

A high-pitched voice came from upstairs.
