"Mirror, mirror, who is the cutest woman in the world?"
The tall, full-length mirror did not move, nor did it make any sound.
Of course, it was just an ordinary silver plate. Even if it was expensive, it was not even a magical tool, so how could it answer?
If it really answered, "Beautiful lady, you are the cutest woman in the world!", Kasali would probably be scared out of her wits and run away.
She stared at the mirror. The girl in the mirror was youthful and beautiful. Her carefully matched clothes and perfect makeup made her even more beautiful. Especially the pearl pendant hanging in front of her chest, it complemented her ivory white skin, brimming with intoxicating charm. Even the maids next to her were a little dazed when they saw her smile.
But at this moment, the person in the mirror looked very melancholic.
Women dressed up to please their lover, and women worked hard to dress up, mostly to make their lover happy. When her mother was still alive, she had told her that a woman's beauty was like a flower, and should not bloom in front of others.
At that time, she did not understand these words, and could not understand why her mother looked so happy every time her father came back.
Now she understood.
But...
She sighed deeply, and the person in the mirror sighed with her. Her beautiful face was filled with sorrow, making the maids next to her feel sorry.
"Mother, what can I do to make him happy?"
The person in the mirror could not answer, and neither could the maids. The most famous beauty on the East Coast returned to her dressing table, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Father, you once said that the best man is not enchanted by my beauty, but a man who simply likes me. Now I have met a man who is not enchanted by my beauty, but how can I make him like me? "
She was depressed for a long time, but finally pulled herself together, finished all her makeup, and left the room accompanied by the maids.
"Good morning, Miss Kasali."
"Miss Kasali, are you going out?"
Along the way, the servants and officials greeted her, and she responded to them all. Every time she responded to someone, they would instantly become spirited. Especially the young men, they were all in high spirits, as if they had drunk an invigorating potion.
When she passed the door of the government office, she stopped and looked inside.
That tall, handsome, reliable figure that could withstand storms and tsunamis like a mountain was indeed sitting in front of the desk. There were a lot of documents piled up on the desk, all of which needed him to deal with.
This man was always busy. When Gars City was in ruins, he rushed to various places to build sites, and took the lead in doing things. He had also personally dived to the bottom of the sea in Port Gars, and moved the large pieces of gravel that hindered the docking of ships one by one. Later, Gars City slowly recovered, and he spent all day dealing with official business that could never be finished. He also had to take time out to try major cases and negotiate with various forces. Sometimes, he had to personally lead a team to destroy the powerful monsters that fled from the wilderness to the vicinity of Gars City.
It was precisely because of his leadership that Gars City could turn from a dilapidated ruin into a prosperous commercial port in just two years.
Without him, the group of refugees who had lost their homes would not be able to survive, let alone rebuild the city.
Without him, maybe she would have been taken away by some tyrant and become a plaything in the inner chamber, or she would have been fought over by powerful people and become a rare collection …
She looked at the figure of the man, and her eyes were full of intoxication.
He was always so powerful, so steady, and so reliable!
In the beginning, in the face of ruins, everyone was full of despair. He was like a bonfire, not only illuminating people's hearts, but also giving people who were shivering in the early spring and winter something to rely on.
At that time, when all kinds of evil spirits came one after another and wanted to suck the marrow out of the people of Garth who had lost their protection, he was like a ball of thunder, blasting those bad things to the ground. They either fled in a sorry state or became dead souls under his sword. In more than two months, he fought more than ten times, and finally deterred all the bad guys who had bad intentions and protected Gars City.
Back then, when she was forced to abdicate during the ceremony and was in a dilemma, it was he who stood in front of her, shielding her from the pressure. Later, he persuaded the great gods to send messengers to solve her problems.
…
Unknowingly, Kasali's eyes were completely attracted to that person. She stood at the door in a daze, staring at the person who was working at the desk. A smile naturally hung on the corner of her mouth.
"Oh! You are just as beautiful today! " An indecent voice from the bottom of her heart woke her up. She turned her head and saw that it was Steele, who did not take the cold seriously and was dressed as if it was summer.
He did not like this woman.
It was not because of the woman's amazing beauty, nor because of this woman's indecent style, but because this woman was very familiar with him and was one of his very few friends.
She moved aside and let Steele enter the door.
Steele swaggered in, completely ignoring the majesty of the consul, and sat directly on his desk. She did not care that at such a close distance, Ray, who had extraordinary eyesight, could see the underside of her skirt clearly. She even lifted her skirt a little, and at the end of the black stockings was her dazzling white skin, which just happened to expose some purple lace underwear. It was simply tempting.
"What's the matter?" Ray was not moved at all. He continued to read the documents, not even raising his head. "You don't come for no reason, and when you come, there's nothing good."
Steele suddenly showed a hurt expression and said sadly, "Is that how you see me? Am I such a terrible woman? "
"If you can be a little more serious, maybe you can restore some of your image in my heart."
"Then will you fall in love with me?"
"… I will reduce the number of times I write your name on the archery target."
Steele laughed loudly. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but her body trembled, and a certain part of her that Kasali complained about shook violently, rippling with white waves that could turn men into hungry wolves.
Ray sighed deeply and put down the documents in his hands. "If you are so free, why don't you go to work at the hospital? I believe the patients will be very happy to see you. "
"I'm here because of the hospital," Wang Yao said. Steele finally put on a serious expression. "Recently, there have been a lot more injured adventurers than before!"
A trace of coldness flashed in Ray's eyes. "Why?"
"Not only the number of monsters in the Great Swamp has increased, but they have also become stronger and more violent."
Ray narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that His Majesty finally can't hold back and wants to do something?"
"Maybe, but for the time being, there are no obvious signs, so I can only say that it is possible."
Ray nodded, took out the booklet he used to record important matters, and wrote down this matter.
No matter how good a person's memory was, it was not as good as the words in a book. His Majesty Void Mask once said, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." Ray deeply agreed with this and felt greatly inspired, so he prepared such a booklet.
Sui Xiong also helped him to black the cover of the booklet, and drew a line of white runes on it.
There were nine strange symbols, five on the left and four on the right. The second symbol was the same as the last one, and the fourth symbol was the same as the last one.
"The black cover and these strange symbols … Is there any special meaning?" he asked at that time.
Sui Xiong smiled and said nothing, but he looked very happy.
This booklet had recorded a lot of things, each of which was very important, and he didn't know whether it was a trick of fate, but almost every thing eventually developed into a bloody conflict.
For example, the first thing recorded in the booklet was that the believers of the God of Fear poured into Gars City in large numbers. It seemed that they wanted to do something bad, so they had to be careful.
The final result of that thing was that Ray rode a flying dragon with a copper crown and chased them for hundreds of miles, killing all the believers of the God of Fear, leaving no one alive.
Now it was recorded that there were abnormal movements of the demons in the Great Swamp, and people needed to be organized to clean them up as soon as possible. Obviously, there would be such a development.
After finishing his work, Steele swayed his body and walked away in a way that would attract people to commit crimes. Ray looked at Kasali, who had been standing at the door, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Governor, do you have anything to tell me?"
Kasali, who was happy that he finally noticed her, secretly sighed because of his distant address. She smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said, "I have nothing to do. I just came to see you … You are so busy. It's really hard for you!"
"Hard? It's nothing, "Ray said with a smile." It's just some official business. It's not hard. "
But then he changed his tone and advised, "Governor, after all, I am just an outsider, and you are the real master of Gars City. I think you should learn more about government affairs, so that it will be of great benefit to you in the future. "
Kasali's mood became even more depressed. "Aren't you doing fine as a consul? Even if I don't learn about government affairs, it won't be a problem for you to always be in power. "
Ray shook his head and said gently, "Although I am a knight, I am essentially a clergyman, and I am also the chief priest of a church. When our church develops, I will definitely be in charge of the temple, and it is impossible for me to stay in Gars City as an archon. "
"Can't you build the temple here?" Kasali asked. "We have a large population here, and the transportation is convenient. Isn't it the most suitable place to build the temple?"
Ray was slightly moved, and he had to admit that what she said was very reasonable.
"I will make a suggestion to His Majesty, but you have to know that the idea of gods is different from that of mortals," he said. "Perhaps in our opinion, the prosperous Gars City is far more suitable for building the temple than the bitter Ashes Woods, but the will of His Majesty is the key to everything."
Kasali sighed inwardly. After exchanging some pleasantries, she took her leave.
Looking at the pearl pendant on her chest that she had just bought from the Storm Sea Merchant House yesterday, she deeply sighed.
From the beginning to the end, Ray did not notice it at all …
