Chapter 22

"Do you think the Marquis standing right outside the building can wait all night? I don't mind leaving one last memory with you tonight, but she seems a bit impatient, ” Lorist said as he looked at the horse carriage parked at the entrance of the building and Lord Marquis circled the horse carriage as he looked towards the third-floor window from time to time instead of coming to the room wait to wait for Wenna.

"Gift!" The girl immediately laughed and quickly stole a kiss from Lorist's lips. Loosening his hands around him, he said, “Alright, we've met, hugged and even kissed. I'm already satisfied. Farewell, Locke. ”

His swift footsteps rang out as he descended the stairs, and shortly after, the sound of the horse carriage leaving slowly disappeared.

Sitting in a chair, Lorist waited for a while before saying, "Els, how much longer are you planning to hide there?"

The curtains in the corner opened when a tall and slender silhouette slipped out soundlessly from the gap between the window and the bookshelf.

"Tsktsktsk, even the seduction of the alluring marchioness can't make you angry. You must have steel willpower. It's not that there's a rule that says that you can't keep playing around in bed even after a breakup .. You're really disappointing, and I think I'll be able to enjoy a good show later tonight … Huh .. ”

The silhouette shook his head as if he thought that Lorist had just missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, walking a few steps forward before stopping and slapping his forehead as he said, “Wait, wait, you can't possibly know that I was there. Are you just bluffing? Maybe you won't find me if I stay … "

"Hehe," Lorist laughed lightly. Previously, Lorist would indeed not have noticed his presence. But ever since he entered the Darkness stage, his senses had become so sharp that he could easily detect the existence of a living being that was even as small as a mouse, not much to say about a human, he said, within a radius of one or two meters. The shadow that stood still and calmed his breath was completely unaware that his heartbeat and blood circulation were like a bright light shining in a dark night that easily caught Lorist's attention.

"I noticed you sneaked inside as soon as the young mistress put down the candle and sat on the floor. You then sneak in the shadows before hiding behind the curtains. Am I really, Els? ”Lorist describes every action a shadow takes when he walks into a room.

"Huh? That can't be ... Did you not see your little lover just now? I even tried to avoid your line of sight, "that shadow said as he headed for the table and looked at the five high-ranking War Forces manuals stationed there, and continued, "Not bad, not bad, these War Force Manuals were quite rare on the market and it seemed like they had not been copied recently as well. The animal skin parchment used in the book looked to be at least a hundred years old. Your ex-lover was really trying hard for your sake.He must have spent as much as three to four thousand gold to buy this original copy from a certain noble family. ”

The shadow in the room was Lorist's good friend, Brennan Evanport, or as most of his friends, Els said. He is the nephew of the owner of the Red Grace Inn, Brennan Charlando. Possessing the prowess of a Two Star Silver warrior, he was also a syndicate boss who managed the affairs of the three districts around the area.

The situation where Lorist knew Els was rather amusing. At that time, when Lorist was 19 years old, he often received missions from mercenary guilds to earn extra cash. On one of the gathering missions he had done with Charade, the two of them were lucky enough to meet the Black-horned Antelope, who had been, which was a low-level magical beast that lived in the mountains whose feathers and horns were taken at a rather high price. They spent several days trying to track down and hunt the beast and brought their catch back to the nearby town in great haste.

Having to take care of something at the academy, Charade had Lorist return to the house they had rented to start tidying it up and waiting for his return before they sold the catch. The house they rented was not very big and they only used it to store the tools they might need so they would not have to return to the academy that often and rest whenever they wanted.

Lorist entered the house, threw the items in the corner and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower without remembering to lock the entrance of the house. After spending days in the wilderness, he could not help but jump into the water immediately. As he was washing happily, he heard the door open and shut. Thinking that it was Charade, he called out to her several times but no one answered. Suspicious, he went to see her.

As she emerged from the bathroom, she saw a brown-haired young woman breathing in disheveled breaths. Upon seeing Lorist, the woman almost let out a huge scream before her mouth was muffled by Lorist as she stared at the Lorist warrior.

Embarrassed and awkward, Lorist moved a few chairs in front of him to protect his bottom and put on his clothes quickly. Even before he finished buttoning, the woman crawled up to Lorist, hugged both his legs and pleaded in a low voice, "Master, please help me... Save me, please?"

Just got out of the bathtub and was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear covering her groin, given that the woman's face was very close to her money, it only took a slight rub to trigger a man's physiological reaction when Lorist was in the main ranks. Understanding his predicament, he hurriedly tried to make the woman stand up and asked her what was going on.

The woman refused to stand up and continued sobbing as she told Lorist what had happened, while her arms wrapped around Lorist's legs. According to her, right after she married her husband, she caught the attention of the syndicate boss chasing after his body. She said the boss framed her husband so he would shoulder a huge gambling debt that could only be repaid by selling him to slaves and sending him to work in a brothel. Having nowhere else to hide, he comes to a random house desperate to avoid his pursuers.

The young lady, clearly noticing the changes happening to Lorist's lower body, said that she would do anything for Lorist if she was willing to help him and even licked her tongue flirtatiously.

At that moment someone knocked on the door outside. Lorist helped the woman up, guided her to a place she could hide, and assured her that no one could take her away with him to protect her. Then, he took out his sword and went out.

This was Lorist's first meeting with Els. While showing off her upper body and showing a slender and slender body, Els wore a shirt hung on one shoulder and a chicken thigh in her hand. He stood there biting as a distinct alcoholic scent shot out from his mouth; it was as if he had rushed out in a short period of time as he partied. By his side were some sad men who were scolded by him.

Lorist immediately said, "The thugs stink, don't think I'm like people like you, always tell all the women like you've never had before. Get out of my sight or face the consequences. In some exchanges, the two yelled at each other and started fighting. To Lorist's surprise, Els was a rather honest syndicate boss who did not order all of her accomplices to surround him at once, either, but only chose one of those ranked Iron Battle Troops to take care of him. Perhaps he had seen the badge of the Lorist Battle Squad and did not want to be accused of bullying Lorist.

Naturally, Iron's ranks were far from enough to care for Lorist, and all of Els' minions lost one after another. Unwilling to believe the scene that was happening in front of him, Els herself fought Lorist, thinking that Lorist would soon surrender due to his One Star Silver Battle Force rank. He then lost to Lorist.

Thinking that he might lose due to bad luck or ridiculous recklessness, he tried many times and ended up losing even the fifth time. In the end, he made the excuse that his footing was unstable due to being under the influence of alcohol. Lorist only laughed at his helplessness and unwillingness to accept his loss despite Els herself begging Lorist to stop beating him. Lightly kicking Els a few times, Lorist only requested that she get out of his sight, but Els still refused to go and even said that her reinforcements came while tightly holding onto Lorist's leg. He said that if Lorist could defeat his reinforcements, he would leave the woman alone and no longer cause him any trouble.

Hearing that, Lorist could only stay there, considering that his legs were pulled by Els. He also could not end Els' life with a single sword. Since he was unwilling to let go, Lorist retaliated by stepping on him as he wished. Els also didn't mind and even chatted with a few passersby occasionally under Lorist's heels.

Lorist felt it was a pity to have met someone like this and felt ashamed to have been seen with him by the people around them. However, he noticed that the elderly couple living nearby were not afraid of the syndicate boss at all and even teased him for being stepped on by someone else. Els was just making excuses that she was drinking too much and was not at her best today.

That's when his uncle, Charlando, came. Seeing Els being stepped on by Lorist, he was filled with anger and pulled out his sword without a word. Lorist kicked Els aside and drew his own sword to face the One Golden Star fighter.

Lorist, originally thought that strengthening Els would only be Silver ranked at best, rather unlucky if faced with a Gold ranked expert. At that time, Lorist had yet to reach the peak of the Iron rank and was only trained in his family's Blazing Battle Strength and not the Aquametal Technique. There was no need for Charlando to make more than eight moves to take down Lorist's sword and completely defeat him.

Els stood up with a face full of bruises and gave Lorist's stomach two powerful blows. “Aha, you just hit me so happily. Your turn! ”

Taking a hit with much reluctance, Lorist got into a barrage of humiliation towards Els for trying to force a poor woman into prostitution. Els countered the insults and said that Lorist did not know what was good for him and bullied people with his strength. Charlando, hearing the contents of the humiliation, felt that something was wrong, and forced the two of them to stop and explain the situation to him. After the two of them told Charlando their version of the show, they looked at each other in confusion as the things they had just described were completely different.

Els said very agitatedly, “What do you mean I was blinded by and framed her husband and made him bear a gambling debt? The woman's husband was a sailor and only came home once every three to four months! She is also very disloyal to her husband and often spends the night with many other men. Besides, he's also a gambling addict! Just last night, he was trying to cheat money out of my casino and was found by my subordinates! He already owed three gold coins at that time and could not afford it. Seeing that he still looked quite young, I sent him to the brothel to get the money to pay his debt. Who knew that this afternoon, he stole the money bag of one of the visitors to the brothel and ran away! That's why I'm chasing him! With all those women willingly selling their bodies, why should I try to force a woman to become a prostitute !? Just ask the old couple who lives next door. They know the sailor, Sur, personally. ”

Seeing the old couple nod gracefully at what Els said, Lorist really wanted to dig a hole and jump into it to hide his embarrassment until Charlando reminded him to check if the woman was still hiding in the house.

Lorist tried to open the door only to find that it was locked from the inside and even felt it might have been barricaded by some furniture. He didn't answer when he called too. After running out of options, Lorist circulated his War Force and knocked on the door only to find empty space. The woman left along with the money and valuables in the room. Even the black feathers and horns from the catch he had just brought back were gone.

After further investigation, they found that the woman had escaped from a window behind the house. But, how did he bring all the items he had stolen?

After a few hours, one of Els' subordinates brought in a horse-drawn carriage driver who said that the woman who came to him said that she had been locked inside the house by her husband who would not let her go to visit her ailing mother. She said that's why she had to leave the house with her dowry from the back window because the front door was locked by her husband. When asked about the weapons he was carrying, she said that her husband used to be a mercenary who now only stayed at home and refused to go take some missions and that her husband had used his dowry to buy these weapons. . In order to prevent her husband from losing it due to his gambling addiction, she said that she had to bring the items and only return them to her husband if one day his husband would regret the way her husband was.

The crowd only sighed in admiration for his bold behavior by bringing all those items with him and going through the back alley as the people there fought. The alley was only about ten meters away from home and he could have easily been found had he made the slightest mistake.

Lorist wanted to cry, but could not shed tears. His attempt to save a 'powerless' woman had led him to spend over 10 gold coins. It seemed like he had to starve himself quite often in the near future.

Didn't the books always say that good people end up getting rewarded for doing good deeds? Lorist had to admit that he was slightly affected by the woman because she looked rather good and also had a pretty good figure. Considering Lorist had still not slept with a woman at that moment since he had come to Grindia, he reacted easily to the woman's embrace. He even thought that he might be able to take the woman as his personal servant after he drove the thug away. The stories in the books were lies .. Not only did I not get the girl, I also lost all my possessions to her, Lorist thought as he sulked on the ground with a lot of regret.

The driver of the train said that the reason she arrived here so quickly was because the woman had already gotten off the train by the river that was two districts away. But, no one thought of chasing him because the river was a fairly famous port in the area. Once he got on the boat, he would probably sail to one of the many lake towns on the Falik Plains and would never be easy to find again.

Els patted Lorist on the shoulder several times as she felt a mixture of anger and amusement, and said, "Alright, the merchants have a saying that says, 'losing money is better than losing lives', which is usually spoken after meeting with bandits. I'm hoping for the same to you because you're in trouble like that. I'm not going to hold a grudge today against you because you've probably suffered enough. All right, everybody, let's go back. ”

This marked the end of Lorist's first meeting with Els. The two lost something during this meeting; els lost the battle while Lorist lost his money and valuables.
