Hilton slept comfortably until dawn. She had been busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce recently. She worked overtime every day and rarely rested. She had been on the road for the past few days. Suddenly, she slept so comfortably that she didn't want to get up after opening her eyes.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze and felt the soft bed under her body. Hilton muttered: "Elsa, I finally understand why so many people like to sleep in … Elsa?"
Hilton touched the side but didn't feel anyone. It was obvious that Elsa wasn't with her.
"Well, speaking of which, when did I fall asleep last night …"
Hilton recalled for a moment. She couldn't even remember when she fell asleep, but this sleep was so comfortable that the pressure on her body was swept away.
"Really, the Lord is also in the room, but he's sleeping so soundly …"
Hilton curled her lips and secretly despised herself. She muttered: "Seeing how timid and shy Elsa is, I thought there would be a chance to spend a spring night with the Lord …"
Thinking of this, Hilton subconsciously looked to the side. As a result, she was directly dumbfounded.
That timid and shy Elsa was actually curled up in the Lord's arms at this moment!?
And with a sweet blush on her face, she's sleeping very soundly!?
What the hell …
Hilton scratched her head: "Am I not awake yet?"
In any case, that Elsa couldn't have done such a bold act, right?
On the contrary, Elijah, who was hugging the Lord's arm and sticking to him like a pet, was easier to understand. Little girls are very clingy … right?
'Speaking of which, Sir Overlord is sleeping with Ayesha, Eliya, and the others?' Is his hobby really special?
Hilton tiptoed out, intending to go out.
"Go out and close the door."
Hilton's face stiffened: "My Lord, when did you wake up?"
"Well, I woke up very early."
Heavens … Didn't that mean that the Lord heard what I muttered just now?
As if seeing Hilton's embarrassment, Tang En recovered and added: "Oh, actually, I just woke up and didn't hear anything …"
My Lord …
Hilton wanted to cry. Although what he said seemed very considerate and gentle, in fact, the effect was even more ruthless!
Hilton couldn't stand the awkwardness anymore. She left the room and went downstairs in a daze …
"Eh? The staircase seemed a little different just now. "
Hilton suddenly came back to her senses and turned her head to look. Her eyes suddenly widened. The wooden stairs were stained with dark red dried blood!
What happened?!
Hilton was shocked. She clutched her chest and looked around. Only then did she realize that not only were there bloodstains on the stairs, but also in the hall below and in the corridor.
However, there was not a single corpse to be seen!
The strange situation made Hilton suck in a breath of cold air. She quietly came to the door of the inn and opened a gap to look outside. Morning Mist Town was shrouded in fog, and the streets were completely silent.
What exactly happened last night?!
Hilton shuddered inexplicably and quickly returned to the room.
"My Lord! What the hell happened last night?! "
If there was one person who knew the truth, Hilton believed that it must be the Lord!
"Oh, you found out?"
Tang En struggled to move his body and tried to sit up. However, Elijah and Elsa sandwiched him in the middle, so he couldn't move at all.
"Okay …"
Finally, Tang En gave up and turned to Hilton and said, "Last night, those people in the town wanted to sneak attack us. They were actually a group of bandits who cooperated with the Necromancer."
"Bandits!? Cooperated with the Necromancer!? "
Hilton was dumbfounded, "This place is so close to Alinx. The Necromancer dared to appear here!?"
"Who knows what he was thinking. He killed all the people in Morning Mist Town. Those bandits disguised themselves as the town's residents. If they didn't meet us, they would probably continue to hide here."
"That Necromancer …"
"They're all dead."
Hilton was relieved, "My Lord, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all die here."
Tang En smiled, "I didn't kill the Necromancer … It was the Divine Punishment."
"Divine Punishment!?"
"Yes, he slaughtered the residents in the church of the God of Light, Yabirni, and used a death ritual to transform the corpses. This is blasphemy, so he was purified in the end."
Hilton was shocked, "Although I've always known about the Divine Punishment … this is the first time I've heard of a real Divine Punishment!"
Tang En was stunned, "Is the Divine Punishment rare?"
"Of course!"
Hilton said very seriously, "Although devout believers of the gods can listen to the oracle, and in very rare cases, the Divine Punishment can only be heard of. I've never seen it before."
Although Hilton didn't see the Divine Punishment last night, she didn't think that Tang En was in the mood to lie to her.
Tang En also became serious. He thought that the Divine Punishment would often purify blasphemers, but now he found that things seemed to be a little wrong.
When he was in the hammer-forging castle, he teased Nisclaire and then saw the Divine Punishment with his own eyes. Last night, he began to doubt the power of the Prandal Gods, and in the blink of an eye, Yabirni gave him the Divine Punishment in front of him.
What did this mean?
Either it meant that the Prandal Gods were not those false gods, demigods, or evil gods, but the real omniscient and omnipotent gods, or the gods of this world were very bored and kept staring at him, an outsider, ready to slap him in the face at any time.
Tang En inexplicably felt that the second possibility was more likely.
At this time, Tang En was suddenly stunned, and a strange smile appeared on his face. Just as Hilton was wondering what Tang En was smiling about, she suddenly saw that Elsa's face was getting redder and redder in Tang En's arms.
So Hilton also laughed.
Tang En patted Elsa gently, "Since you're awake, why don't you get up?"
Elsa couldn't pretend anymore and sat up with her face covered.
Really, Sir Lord!
Doesn't he know how to give in to a girl!? It's really embarrassing to be exposed …
Feeling her face hot, Elsa was too ashamed to face anyone, especially when Hilton was still looking at her mischievously. Her eyes were as if something strange had happened between her and Sir Lord …
Obviously, nothing happened!
"Well, since you're awake, wash up and get ready for breakfast."
Tang En also patted Elijah awake, "The earlier we finish breakfast, the earlier we can get on the road."
"Okay, I'll go call the others."
Hilton immediately went to call the others.
After Tang En and the others washed their faces, they went downstairs. Because the bandits were all dead, they had to make breakfast themselves. Fortunately, there were a lot of ingredients stored here, which made it convenient for Tang En and the others.
Just as he sat there and ate two mouthfuls of rice, two men and two women suddenly stumbled down from upstairs. It was Kevin, his bodyguard, and his two women.
"You guys actually —"
Kevin, who had dark circles under his eyes, opened his eyes wide. After the big commotion last night, he almost didn't dare to sleep. He had been hiding under the bed with the two women, shivering all night.
If he hadn't heard the voices downstairs, he wouldn't have known that it was dawn.
"The bandits are dead."
His guard took a look at the door and ran back, saying in a deep voice, "But we still haven't found any trace of the captain."
"Damn it, where did he run off to at this time!"
Kevin cursed and swallowed his saliva as he looked at the hot food in front of Tang En and the others.
Although Tang En knew that his guards were all dead, he didn't have a good impression of Kevin and was too lazy to remind him. He just ate breakfast by himself.
Kevin said to the two women, "Go to the kitchen and make me some breakfast."
"Young Master …"
The two women were very embarrassed, "We don't know how to cook …"
"Trash!"
Kevin was furious, "What use do I have for you!"
The two women secretly cursed. Why didn't you say such things when you wanted us to serve you in bed? It's enough that a woman can warm the bed and give birth to children. Why do you need to know how to cook? Hmph!
The guard frowned slightly. He was also a little hungry. He glanced at Tang En. Although he could see that Tang En was the real leader of the convoy, he could also feel Tang En's coldness. After circling around, his gaze fell on Perron.
Perron's people and Tang En's people clearly drew a line. The guard knew very well that although they were in the same team, there was definitely a lot of conflict between Perron and Tang En.
Therefore, Kevin's guard walked to Perron and said faintly, "Viscount Narley, please have your people prepare enough breakfast for us. When we return to Alinx, we will definitely pay you a visit to thank you."
Perron, who was eating, suddenly heard Kevin's guard's words and suddenly turned pale with fright. He stood up in a panic and said, "Please don't say that! It's my honor to be able to help Young Master Kevin! We have prepared enough breakfast here. Please come and eat, Young Master Kevin! "
The guard smiled faintly and said, "Thank you very much."
"Tsk, he was so arrogant when he was in Ellington. Now that he's met another noble, he's become like this …"
Elsa grumbled with an unhappy look on her face.
Tang En smiled and said, "Because of this, he's a real noble."
"Nonsense!"
Elijah said angrily, "I think big brother is a real noble!"
"On the contrary," Tang En shook his head and laughed, "I'm completely non-mainstream."
Kevin glanced at Tang En and walked around them to Perron. Then, he said proudly, "I swear in the name of Kevin Forier, Viscount Perron Narley, your help will bring you great rewards!"
Kevin Forier!?
Tang En, Elsa, and Hilton were all stunned.
