"Nothing special. I came back to get something. I heard something in your office, so I came to have a look." Lilith walked in. She looked much thinner than before, but her back was still straight. The sorceress always maintained a meticulous posture, like a knight ready to go to war at any time. So, she was particularly eye-catching in this office.
D 'Addario's den was as messy as ever. Pornographic books and figurines were everywhere, and there were socks under the sofa that hadn't been washed for a long time. Some of them were even left behind by him. But after all these years, Lilith had already gotten used to it. She automatically blocked those things that she shouldn't see. Her eyes fell on the two teacups on the table. "Are there guests?"
"Yes, me and my virtual girlfriend, Scarlett," D 'Adrion said excitedly. "Do you need me to introduce you to her?"
"No, thank you," Lilith said politely. The sorceress was obviously not interested in the world of otakus.
D 'Adrion cleaned the sofa and asked Lilith to sit down. Then, he rummaged in the drawer. After a while, he found a can of honey that had been stored for a long time. After that, he picked up his coat and said, "Wait for me for a while. I'll go downstairs to buy a grapefruit."
Lilith's heart skipped a beat. She did not expect the man in front of her to remember what she liked to drink. This guy was usually careless as if he didn't care about anything. It was hard to believe that he would remember such an inconspicuous thing. The sorceress shook her head and stopped D 'Adrion who was about to go out. "Do you have money?"
The man laughed dryly, "President Lilith, are you kidding me? Today is payday. I'm an adult who knows how to spend money rationally. I'm not the kind of kid who just started working and spends money recklessly. How can I not have money when I just got my paycheck?"
"…"
D 'Adrion felt guilty under the gaze of the sorceress. He finally gave up and said with a sad face, "I'll go downstairs and put one on credit first. I'll pay it back when I get my next month's salary. As a president, I can't run away. I can at least put a grapefruit on credit."
Lilith shook her head, "I don't want to drink honey grapefruit tea now. Water is fine."
"Oh." While D 'Adrion was pouring a glass of water for the sorceress, Lilith took out a stack of documents from her bag and put them on the coffee table in front of her. "These are urgent. I'll deal with them first. I need your signature."
"Okay, okay." D 'Darrion was already used to the female sorcerer's sudden switch to work mode. He signed his name on the documents without hesitation.
Lilith saw that the man signed without hesitation, and her expression was slightly strange. "Don't you need to take a look at the contents of those documents?"
"Hey, is this necessary?" The man rubbed his eyes. "Hasn't President Lilith already seen these? There should be no problem then." "Everyone in Gudilesi knows that our association is supported by President Lilith alone. I, the president, am just a worm waiting to die. Hahahaha, I really don't know what I should do without President Lilith," said D 'Dardarion, not forgetting to give Lilith a thumbs up. "Everyone in Gudilesi knows that our association is supported by President Lilith alone.
"You're too kind, sir." The female sorceress said seriously, "You haven't shown your strength for all these years. Many people think that the magic genius in the north, who was as famous as Senior Sister Olavian, has fallen. However, judging from the strength you showed that night, you're not as decadent as you appear to be. You're stronger than you were during that battle. No wonder Principal Abus said that if it weren't for Lord Rob, you would probably be the number one master among the younger generation."
This was also the first time that the female sorceress took the initiative to mention what happened that night. From the moment Lilith opened her eyes until now, the two seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding talking about what happened that night. D 'Adrion did not know why the female sorceress was avoiding him. Anyway, he accidentally transferred the holy poison of the Sin of Shadow into Lilith's blood. He felt guilty and did not know how to explain it to her.
The man was a little surprised when he heard that. "Really? Does that old guy Abus think so highly of me?"
"Senior, please show some respect to Grand Magus Abuschao," Lilith reminded.
"Ah, sorry, sorry. It's just a slip of the tongue." D 'Adrion scratched his head. His attitude of admitting his mistake was very good. However, when he did, the female sorceress' brows furrowed even tighter.
Oh no, it seems that I said the wrong thing again. I should have decisively gone downstairs to buy some grapefruit. The man could not help but lower his head. As a result, he saw a book that had fallen at his feet. It was opened to the page where the heroine came out of the bath.
Perfect! Now, his wretched image must have become more vivid in the other party's mind.
D 'Adrion remembered when he first came to Gudilesi three years ago, he jumped off the deck with the letter of office sent to him by the Sorcerer Association and officially set foot on the dock of a foreign land. Well, strictly speaking, this was actually his second time coming to this city.
Not surprisingly, no one came to greet him.
D 'Adrion quickly imagined the bullying scene of those unruly old people in the association huddling together to bully the new boss. However, he automatically ignored the fact that he had dawdled for too long and was already three months late.
After getting off the ship, he first found a bathhouse and took a comfortable hot bath to wash away the fatigue and dust of the journey. He also gave himself a massage and went back to sleep. After that, he found a very famous local restaurant to have a big meal. When he returned to the street again, the sun was already setting.
D 'Adrion stopped an old man and asked for the location of the branch. He was ready to meet the group of subordinates that he had labeled as difficult to get along with. At that moment, he saw a little "boy" sneaking a piece of bacon from a small stall not far away.
D 'Adrion usually didn't care about this kind of thing, but it just so happened that he had been in a bad mood recently, so he wanted to take this opportunity to promote justice. So, he followed the little "boy" to his house.
It was a small shack made of wood and rags. D 'Adrion saw a woman with a yellow face in this simple shack. She should be the little "boy"'s mother. She was probably only in her early twenties, but life had left too many marks on her face. It seemed that she also had a serious disease, so she couldn't leave the shack at all.
So, the little "boy" should be stealing bacon from the meat stall to nourish his mother's body.
D'Addarion thought for a moment, and put the forty or so pieces of gold he had left in his pocket on the roof of the shabby shack. It should be enough to cure the woman's illness, to rent a decent lodging in the town, and to lead an ordinary life with her child.
However, the lesson that should be taught was still necessary. The purpose was just, but it didn't mean that he could use the wrong means, especially at the age of the little "boy". If he found out that stealing could solve the problem, it was very likely that he would go astray in the future.
So D 'Adrion knocked the little guy out, planning to strip him naked and hang him on a tree for a period of time. As a result, tragedy happened at this time. When he took off the little "boy"'s shirt, he found out that it turned out to be a girl. D' Adrion was also dumbfounded. Realizing that something was wrong, he hurriedly tried to put clothes on the little girl again. At this time, Lilith happened to pass by nearby.
