As the rustling footsteps gradually faded away, only Aidil and Lux ​​were left in the forest.

【Favorability +10】

Aidil turned to look at the other party, and unknowingly Lux's favorability towards him had reached 40.

"Don't panic if this happens again, understand?"

Aidil warned, and then said again: "You must know that you are the eldest daughter of the Crown Guard Family. Unless you are caught using magic in public, in most cases, the suspicion of a few people cannot threaten you."

Lux opened her big watery eyes and nodded in a silly and cute way.

Aidil's help and care made her feel at ease, and at the same time, her heart was as sweet as honey.

She lowered her head, blushed and whispered, "Thank you."

Then hesitated for a while and asked again: "Does this include you?"

Aidil sneered, and he stretched out a hand to hit Lux's forehead.

"Ouch!"

Lux screamed in pain, and covered her red forehead with both hands. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she said with a hint of grievance:

"Why did you hit me?"

"What are you thinking? I am a demon hunter. Not to mention that I saw it with my own eyes, even if I just suspect that you are infected with demons, I can arrest you immediately. Don't think about playing tricks with me." Aidil looked down coldly.

"Oh."

Lux responded with a bit of annoyance.

"But thank you this time."

"Don't thank me, I don't want to see you get into trouble."

Although Aidil said it calmly, Lux couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart after hearing it.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her eyes shyly to look at the other person.

Then she heard the other person say, "It's getting late, you'd better go back quickly. This time I'll take you back to avoid any more accidents."

"You're right, I have to go back quickly, otherwise my mother will definitely get angry again."

Lacus's little face turned pale instantly, and she led the way to the manor of the Crown Guard family, followed by Aidier who escorted her all the way.

After passing through the dense forest, the two stepped onto the street again, and soon arrived at the door of a luxurious and magnificent manor.

"Your house is really big!"

Standing more than ten meters away from the door, Aidier could feel a luxurious smell coming towards him.

He didn't know how big the manor was, but the gate alone was several meters high and more than ten meters wide.

At the door, two knight guards wearing silver armor and holding spears stood majestically on both sides.

They were as tall as pine trees, meticulous, and obviously professionally trained.

"Miss Laxana!"

The two guards said in unison, obviously recognizing Lux's identity.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lux smiled, nodded, and then walked towards the gate.

But as soon as she passed the gate, she suddenly felt empty in her heart, as if she had forgotten something important.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lux turned around and looked at Aidier outside the door and said, "Do you... want to come in and sit down? I haven't thanked you properly for what happened today."

Aidier outside the door hesitated for a while, he looked up at the dim night, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not found a place to stay in Xiongdu.

Although he could go back to the Illuminator Church to stay for a night, it was not his home after all. In his eyes, it was no different from the manor in front of him.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and whispered, "If you don't mind being a bother."

Lux smiled and said to the two guards at the door, "Let him in, he's my friend."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them extended his hand to invite him in.

Then, Edir walked into the huge manor.

Along the way, the two of them took a detour, and soon an old housekeeper spotted them.

"Miss Laxana, why are you back just now! Madam Ogsha has been waiting for you for half a night."

As soon as he saw Lux, the old housekeeper immediately stepped forward and said anxiously.

Lux stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Butler, I know. I'll go there right away. This is my friend. He escorted me back today. I see it's getting late. Can you arrange for him to stay in the guest room for the night?"

"I know. Let me handle this. You should go to the lady first."

The old butler nodded and kept urging him.

Finally, Lux walked towards the hall where Madam Ogsa was with a sullen face and a bit of trepidation.

The old butler was only thenAfter coming back to his senses, he looked at Aidier.

"Come with me."

Aidier followed the other person silently.

"Young man, what's your name? What do you do? I wonder when did you meet the young lady?"

On the way, the old housekeeper asked.

"My name is Aidier, and I'm currently a demon hunter. I just met Miss Laxana today."

The old housekeeper paused and turned his head to look at the other person in surprise.

"I didn't expect that you are already a demon hunter at such a young age. I wonder which big family you are from?"

"I'm a civilian, and I was just a refugee not long ago." Aidier shook his head calmly.

The old housekeeper was slightly surprised, and his turbid eyes exuded a glimmer of wisdom.

He didn't ask anything else, but took Aidier to a courtyard in the north of the manor.

"You can stay here tonight. The things inside have been packed up." The old housekeeper said.

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you."

Aidil nodded calmly and watched the other party leave.

...

On the other side, when Lux came to the hall with trepidation in her heart, she was soon locked in by a sharp gaze.

Her body trembled slightly, and Lux ​​opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the gaze.

A noble woman in her thirties was sitting on the sofa in the hall at this time, staring at her with a pair of hawk-like eyes.

"You still remember to come back?!"

Mrs. Ogsha asked in a deep voice, with a sneer on her face.

Seeing this, Lux blinked her big eyes, her eyes were a little wet, she took her feet and ran all the way to her mother, buried her head in the other's clothes and sobbed.

A trace of confusion flashed across Mrs. Ogasha's eyes, but she softened her heart and comforted him in a gradually lighter tone: "What's wrong, Lux?"

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she suddenly asked in a concentrated voice: "Are you out of control again?"

As Lux's mother, Mrs. Ogasha is one of the few people who know that she is infected with the devil.

Lux nodded in her arms.

A trace of pity flashed across Mrs. Ogasha's eyes. She gently stroked her back and said softly: "It's okay, bear with it. I have contacted a demon destroyer. When he arrives, you can return to normal life."

"Mom, no need, I don't plan to destroy the devil."

Lux suddenly raised her head and looked at her.

"Why?" Mrs. Ogasha frowned and asked.

Lux pondered for a while and said, "I met a man today. He told me that whether magic is dangerous depends on how the user does it. I think what he said makes sense, so I don't want to abandon magic now."

"Who is that man? Does he know about your magic?"

Mrs. Ogsha's heart tightened, and she asked anxiously.

She didn't care whether Lux followed her arrangements, because the other party's words seemed to reveal a more dangerous problem.

That is, the secret of her daughter's magic was suspected to be discovered by outsiders!

"His name is Aidier, I met him today, and he is also a magic hunter."

Magic hunter!

Hearing these three words, Mrs. Ogsha felt blood rushing up, her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.
