After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled down and licked by the Duke

In the evening, everyone just finished their work. The ladies were tired all afternoon, so Li Aili asked the aboriginals in the Black Street to prepare dinner.

Then, their dinner became...

Li Aili fell into silence as she watched the various ingredients in her bowl come together, collide fiercely in the pot, and finally turned into a soup that made no distinction between you and me.

She looked at Thomason who was slurping and eating enthusiastically, and asked her soul question: "Why do you dislike me for cooking like this?"

Thomason breathed out because it was so hot, "Hey, this is called 'cooking that only real men can cook'. It doesn't look good, but it tastes delicious!"

Li Aili was suspicious. On the other side, the golden knight who was changing his shift had already prepared the meal, and everyone was sitting around the fire.

The knights found their wives with the food, sat down, picked up the bowls and took a big sip of the soup.

There was no unnatural expression on his face.

Li Aili suspiciously picked up the bowl and took a sip.

What can I say, it's not unpleasant to drink.

The taste is on the strong side, but for the knights who have been working for a day, this is what they need most.

Li Aili stared at the 'miserable' looking soup in the bowl.

If it was at this level, could she also do it?

At this moment, someone sat down next to her.

Li Aili looked sideways and saw the knight named August Saint Nihe smiling brightly at her.

The bright paladin who is healed by the handsome sunshine has a group of fans all over the world.

There was silence for a moment around the campfire.

Although no one looked over, Li Aili felt that they were all paying attention to her side.

"Hello, you haven't told me your name yet." He greeted tentatively.

Li Aili: "..."

Not far away, Joanna calmly kicked her husband beside her.

They were an old couple after all, Edward understood immediately, stood up with the bowl in hand, walked to the other side of Li Aili and sat down.

"lady."

The handsome paladin's expression froze at the sound of Madam's voice.

Augustus St. Nihe's voice became cold, "I heard that she was divorced."

Edward shrugged, "What's wrong with my title?"

Many female nobles who live alone will be called madam.

August St. Nehe choked.

Of course there is no problem for a divorced and widowed noblewoman to be called madam.

Augustus frowned slightly and looked at Edward with a polite smile on his face.

Li Aili had a headache.

The atmosphere was a little weird, so she had to change the subject.

"Do you know the conditions proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, Edward?"

When it came time to get down to business, Edward stopped looking at Augustus and said, "Yes, ma'am."

August: "..."

Li Aili looked at Thomason, who was not far away and was working on his meal, "What do you think?"

Edward hesitated, "After Campbell became the duke's territory, Thomas and the others did not break the law."

In short, these gangsters are very messy.

When Campbell was in Borderlands, they were able to rob the Chamber of Commerce to the point of being blacklisted.

After Campbell was occupied by Leng Jade, this group of people became as honest as a tortoise.

In short, even the knights who firmly believe in justice are not in favor of punishing these gangsters.

Li Aili nodded, approving this sentence.

Many unclaimed lands in this world have no laws.

Therefore, there is a market for adventurers from the Adventure Guild.

Merchant caravans hire them to protect themselves through some chaotic areas.

When it comes to chaos, whoever has the strongest fist has the final say.

"But..." Li Aili looked at the waking refugees.

The refugees looked at Thomason and the others who were eating meat and drinking heavily with fear.

Even though they were very greedy, they did not dare to talk to Thomason and the others.

"Thomason's past may become the biggest obstacle to their integration into the Emerald Valley in the future."

“I don’t hope that one day in the future, they will go back to their old ways because of the crowding out of new citizens.”

Edward and the paladin Augustus, who were silently listening, were stunned.

The bonfire burning under the night was even hotter than the eyes August looked at Li Aili at this moment.

In the place where the firelight couldn't shine, Ellie's shadow trembled unnaturally.

After drinking the soup in her hand, Li Aili stood up and said to Edward: "Go tell Thomason and the others to come over for a meeting after dinner."

After saying that, Li Aili got up and prepared to take a walk.

Come back and continue to deal with the endless official business.

Although it was a walk after dinner, the lord's sense of responsibility dictated that she strolled to the pumpkin patch on the east side of the city.

Ben Khalsa erected a security fence outside the pumpkin patch.

A warning sign is placed every few meters, which reads: The pumpkin inside is very vicious, please do not approach it for your own safety.

Li Aili: "..."

Suddenly there were footsteps behind her. Li Aili came back to her senses and saw a large bouquet of flowers, only two fingers away from the tip of her nose.

The flowers were put down, revealing the tall Paladin of Light who raised his fingers awkwardly and gently scratched his reddish cheeks.

"I saw that they looked good, so I wanted to pick them off and give them to you."

Li Aili: "..."

"So, now can I know your name?"

Just as Li Aili was about to answer, she heard a calm and deep voice not far away, "No."

Li Aili and August looked at the sound almost at the same time.

Under the big tree not far away, Arthur Leng Jade slowly walked out of the shade.

Under the moonlight, his blue eyes were colder than ice.

Although the man's tone of voice did not fluctuate at all, it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

But Li Aili felt that he was going crazy.

Subconsciously, she took a step back and distanced herself from Augustus.

Augustus was surprised that he had not noticed this man.

Subconsciously, he was about to block Li Aili behind him, "You are..."

Before the word 'who' could be asked, Augustus felt his eyes turned upside down and his abdomen was hit hard.

The whole person flew backwards and hit the ground with a loud bang.

The Paladin was thrown four to five meters away, as if he was throwing large wet garbage.

Li Aili: "..."

Li Aili: "!!!"

Arthur stood in front of Li Ellie without saying a word.

But his blue eyes seemed to say everything.

Li Aili pursed her lips and thought: It’s always like this.

Without any words, she just turned around stubbornly and walked towards August.

A shadow casts in front of him.

Li Aili was stopped directly.

She looked up and saw it was Arthur.

The handsome man tilted his head slightly, his blue eyes showing a hint of... weakness that did not match his strength.

He was pleading with her.

Instead, she just stepped around Arthur and left him where he was.

She walked up to Augustus, three steps away from him.

Li Aili asked: "Are you okay?"

Augustus had already sat up, clutching his abdomen.

He looked at Arthur angrily, "Who are you? Who are you to her?!"

Arthur lowered his eyes and stared at August, and said solemnly: "Get out, or die."
