Esther had looked at the map. The town where the Candlelight Spirit was dealt with before was on the main route, so he just went to find the baron of the town to record the incident of the Candlelight Spirit.

Esther came to the town again. The town that had been cleared by the Knight Guards became more harmonious, and even the environment on the streets became better.

After entering the town, Esther thought of Mary with a perky butt. He smiled and asked Cinderella to take the horses to the inn first, while he went to the candle shop to have a look.

Esther came to the vicinity of the candle shop. From a distance, the sign was still the little match girl, but the business was not as hot as before.

When Esther came to the door and saw the familiar perky butt in the store, he knew that the knight captain was still reliable.

Esther walked into the store quietly. Mary, who was standing on a small stool to clean the dust on the upper shelves, fell down unsteadily.

Mary was startled, but did not fall to the ground. Instead, she fell into a familiar embrace, and her butt was also stuck with a familiar thing.

“”Ah~” Mary moaned: this familiar feeling of fit.

Mary turned her head and looked:”Lord Esther!”

Mary became excited when she saw Esther, her body moved around, and she accidentally touched the center of the flower.

Mary blushed and hurriedly pulled the shelf to stand up:”Lord Esther, why are you here?”

“Come and see the beautiful boss lady!”

Mary smiled shyly with a peach blossom on her face, lowering her head and saying,”Thank you! You gave me this shop! It gave me a way to make a living.”

“This shop originally belongs to you, why are you thanking me?”

Mary turned around and brought a stool for Esther.

“Don’t hide it from me! I know everything!”

Mary turned back and poured water for Esther, caring for him like a man of the house.

“Got it?”

After Esther sat down and took the cup of water, Mary stood beside Esther and nodded obediently:”The guard has told me that the talking candle is a demon.

My stepfather Rod and stepmother Li’er colluded with the officials of the town and used the demon’s things to harm Viscount Carl.

Rod was burned to death by the demon, and Li’er was also executed.”

“They died, you……”Esther took a sip of water and observed Mary’s expression.

After a moment of silence, Mary raised her head and said calmly,”They did bad things and deserved to die! I don’t care about their affairs! I… I care about you, Master Esther!”

As Mary spoke, the corners of her mouth slowly rose.

“Are you concerned about me? I’m fine. That little candle you mentioned is no match for me. I’m fine!”Ashe thought Mary was worried about her safety.

“I know that Master Aesir is the strongest and can definitely solve these problems.” Mary’s tone revealed a little pride:”But what I mean is to thank you for letting Master Guard help me get this candle shop!

You don’t need to explain, Master Guard told me that all this was arranged by you!”

“This guard is so sensible!”Aither smiled and looked at Mary: It seems that as long as the right time comes, I will probably see Mary’s little criticism.

Mary saw Aither looking at her, and her face became hot in just a moment. She thought of the wet night again, and turned her head away embarrassedly to find something to do.

Aither smiled and looked at the door of the store. Seeing the hurried pace of pedestrians on the street, she realized that she had been chatting with Mary for so long in the store, but no customers came. Although they are all ordinary candles now, it shouldn’t be so bleak.…

“Mary, has your business been so good these past two days?”

Mary was still a little abnormal and dared to speak to Esther with her back to him:”Eh? You know all this. The guard said you are an exorcist. Is this your special ability?”

“This doesn’t require any special abilities, candles are a common lighting tool nowadays! No one has come for such a long time! Are ordinary people using oil lamps now?”

Mary stopped what she was doing, turned around and explained:”Not really, there are rumors that werewolves appeared in the forest in the north!”

“Werewolf?”After hearing what Mary said, Esther immediately recalled that when he dealt with the candle spirit before, he killed a werewolf:”Werewolves no longer bloodthirsty and meat-eating, but started selling candles?”

“Hehehe!” Mary was amused and said,”Lord Esther, you are really different from others! Others turn pale when they hear about werewolves, but you can still make jokes. Of course, werewolves don’t sell candles, it’s the priest in the church who sells them! It can’t be said that they sell them, it’s a gift for blessing!

As long as you spend money to pray, the priest will give you a candle that can drive away werewolves!”

“”Oh?” Esther showed some surprise:”When I came to this town before, I didn’t hear about the Holy Light Priest!”

“I have seen the pastor in the church before. He doesn’t have any special abilities.

But a few days ago, when rumors of werewolves appearing in the northern forest spread like wildfire, he returned to the town safely after praying in a village!

Then many people went to ask the pastor, and the pastor said that using the candles he blessed could avoid werewolves!

At first, only a few people believed it, but more than a dozen people died the day before yesterday, and now everyone goes to this pastor to pray!

The more money you spend, the more candles you can get, and my business has declined!”

“Spend money to pray and send candles! Drive away werewolves! Why is it about candles again? How can I get to the church, Mary!”

After Mary told him the route, Esther immediately got up and went to the church to see what was going on.
