City Lord's Mansion

Going deep along the corridor in the side courtyard, there is a room that no one dares to enter.

The sunlight in the daytime can only abandon it, even under the bright sun, the two oil lamps placed on the left and right will always be the only light source in this square inch.

The feet without shoes and clogs stepped on the wooden floor, and there was only a slight sound of friction against the cloth wherever they went, and no one noticed.

The door that separated the world was opened.

The light fell into the dark space again, and Dou Da's lights trembled because of the sudden small air current.

Walking in was a gorgeously dressed long-haired woman who gently closed the door without making a sound.

The square inch of land returned to darkness.

The long-haired woman stood with her back to the door, her deep gaze was looking at the steps ahead, and above the steps was an invisible shadow.

She stood still for a few seconds, then went up the steps and knelt before the shadow.

"A little bit."

The woman stretched out her hand to caress the black shadow, as if she was stroking the face of her lover.

"Soon, we can be together again."

(I.e.

After the last experiment, Suzuki Aoi came to the conclusion that even with the monsters around, her power still cannot be projected on humans.

She sat in the room for a while.

"It's time to find a bodyguard"

Otherwise, once she is besieged, it will be very difficult for her to win.

"We have to make some 'poison'." Of course, there is an antidote, the kind that doesn't hurt people's lives, "anesthetic, um, make them lose their ability to move."

She picked and picked among the herbs, and finally dried all the herbs that met the requirements and ground them into powder.

Having said that, she was lucky during this time, and she didn't encounter any robbers running around, and the villagers were very simple.

For Suzuki Aoi at this stage, meeting humans is much more dangerous than meeting monsters.

After bottled the medicine powder and put it in the pocket of her sleeve, Suzuki Aoi planned to go for a walk in the forest—not to collect medicine, the medicine had been enough for her for a while.

I have to say that the contract is really a good thing, Suzuki Aoi is going to go to the forest to pick a decent monster to be the bodyguard.Signing a contract with youkai is more reliable than hiring humans with money.

Opening the curtain with one hand, Aoi Suzuki stopped in her tracks—an ox cart appeared outside her medicine hut at some point.

When the man driving the car saw her coming out of the house, he jumped out of the car and walked towards her, bowing.

"Master Exorcist, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, and the lady of the city lord specially sent a villain to pick you up for treatment in the city."

"Madame of the Castellan"

The man smiled earnestly and nodded quickly: "Please get in the car."

Suzuki Aoi didn't reply right away, she asked, "What's wrong with Madam?"

"The madam only said that she was unwell, as for the others." The man smiled apologetically, "I don't know much about it."

Unable to find out why, Suzuki Aoi frowned unconsciously.

Put aside the fact that the mayor's wife's illness is doubtful.

Indeed, she plans to go to the city recently, and she is also thinking of a reasonable reason to go to the city to avoid interrogation by those city guards.

Just like the last time the rich businessman's wife had an emergency, the rich businessman had paid a lot of money to the guards and she was able to enter the city so smoothly.

Covering her face with a mask, and hiding her head and tail with a cloak and cloak are inherently suspicious. As an exorcist, although she will not be too difficult, it is very possible that she will be asked to show her true appearance.

She cannot guarantee the reaction of those around her, and the worst case scenario is to take her down as a monster.

And the man in front of her gave her an excellent excuse that would not be suspected - if she entered the city as a guest of the mayor's wife, everything would be solved easily.

After thinking for a while, Suzuki Aoi said to the man: "The stock of medicinal materials is not enough, I will go to the north to collect herbs first, and I can start in an hour."

"This"

The man's expression is very tangled.

Suzuki Aoi's tone became tougher: "Madam is not in an emergency, and medicinal materials are the key to curing the disease. I don't want to waste time."

The man's heart trembled because of his natural fear of the exorcist, and he quickly said with a smile: "Listen to you, don't worry, don't worry."

Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so it's not too late.

The goal was achieved, Suzuki Aoi didn't stay any longer, and walked directly on the path leading to the forest.

The man looked at her leaving back and thought to himself: The exorcising demon master really has a weird temper.

Forest of the North

The girl sat beside the mirror-like pool, her light-colored eyes clearly reflecting the reflection of the sleeping water.

Her cloak and mask lay nearby.

As if she had finally made up her mind, she took a deep breath, pinched the blade of grass she had just folded to apply spiritual power, and gently touched a strand of golden hair hanging down her chest.

The next moment, the golden hair was easily cut off and fell onto the grass.

"Sir, are you here?"

The dryad who signed the bodyguard contract not long ago shook the leaves on his head, puzzled by the contractor's behavior.

"Humans regard blond hair as evil."

What's more, the color of her pupils is also different from ordinary people.Once exposed, it will produce an effect of one plus one greater than two.

If it's just the pupils, it's much easier to cover up.

"Are you going to shave them all off?" The dryad looked at the long golden hair regretfully: "They are obviously so beautiful."

She is a Dryad with green hair in human form, the color of its leaves.She was very envious of this long golden hair that was as gorgeous as sunshine.

The dryad complained softly: "Human beings really have no eyes."

How could such a beautiful person be evil.Even monsters can be divided into good and bad—their kind of monsters never take the initiative to hurt people.

Dryads love peace best.

"Also, my lord, you are so powerful, you are the most powerful exorcist I have ever seen, there is no need to make such a big sacrifice for those weak humans."

Just like it is impossible for Dryads to pull out all the leaves for humans.

Suzuki Aoi comforted: "It will grow again, just like your leaves."

The dryad thought: Human hair doesn't grow as fast as her leaves.It will take years to grow back to that size.

Once you start cutting your hair, you won't find it difficult to start later.

In less than 5 minutes, all the waist-length hair fell onto the grass in a mess.A spiritual shave is much cleaner than an ordinary blade. Although it does not reflect light on the top of the head, there is not a single fluff left.

Looking at the strange reflection on the water, Suzuki Aoi felt a little strange.

She touched the top of her head, it was a warm touch.

For her, who has never had short hair, this is a novel experience.

Putting on the mask and cloak again, Suzuki Aoi said to the Dryad, "Let's go."

The dryad nodded slightly, and then turned into a branch, wrapping around Suzuki Aoi's arm like a vine.

The content of the contract is: not to take the initiative to harm humans, unless those humans intend to harm her and Aoi Suzuki.

Finding a suitable monster was much faster than expected, and it took less than half an hour for Suzuki Aoi to return to the medicine house again.

Seeing Suzuki Aoi, the man said pleasantly, "You're back so soon! Please get in the car."

Suzuki Aoi nodded at him: "Good luck today."

Hearing this, the man's eyes fell on her basket full of fresh medicinal materials, and he was stunned to himself - just this basket of medicinal materials might cost several hundred taels of silver.

It's more than his income in a few years--the exorcist is really making money.

The road into the city is very flat, and after about half an hour, the tall city gate is just around the corner.

Because he was riding in the bullock cart of the city lord's mansion, he was not stopped for inspection when entering the city, and it went very smoothly.

Hearing the yelling, Suzuki Aoi lifted the roller blind, and her eyes fell on the vendors on both sides of the street.The ox cart pattern of the City Lord's Mansion is very obvious, and there is no one to stop it along the way.

After walking about two miles, the City Lord's Mansion arrived.

The man parked the ox cart at the door, walked to the window and said, "My lord, we're here."

The next moment, the roller blind was lifted, revealing white and slender fingers.

The samurai guarding the gate tensed up, subconsciously guarding against the exorcists.The fact that the city lord's wife took the initiative to send someone to invite the exorcist from Beicun to see a doctor is well known in the city lord's mansion.

What I saw getting off the bullock cart was a man surrounded by a wide cloak, whose face could not be seen clearly.

The warrior frowned, and said to his colleagues, "Hiding your head and showing your tail, playing tricks."

"Shh - keep your voice down."

No matter how much dissatisfaction is, this is a demon exorcist.

All the whispered discussions from the crowd entered Suzuki Aoi's ears.

It seems that this city lord's mansion is not completely friendly to demon exorcisers—how can it be friendly to those who rob him of his job.

The man leading the way obviously heard what the samurai said, but he didn't intend to stand out, he just said to Suzuki Aoi:

"My lord, come with me."

At least the surface is still respectful.

Suzuki Aoi didn't care about this, and followed the guide silently, without paying any attention to others.

The city lord's mansion occupies a large area, and the guide walked for about 15 minutes before stopping in front of a particularly gorgeous courtyard.

He bowed and stood aside, beckoning: "My lord, Madam is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you."

Suzuki Aoi nodded slightly at him, then stepped into the door.

The path paved with flagstones led her in one direction very clearly.

At the end of the path is the main house, where a maid is waiting.Seeing someone coming, she walked down the corridor and stopped in front of Suzuki Aoi.

"My lord, I will lead the way."

It is said to lead the way, but it is actually the distance from the promenade to the door of the main house.About dozens of steps.

Take off the clogs according to the guide, and step on the cool wooden floor with your feet, making your toes curl up unconsciously.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, she finally saw the wife of the city lord who was rumored to be unwell on the tatami in the house.

The woman's black hair hung loose behind her, and the ends of her hair hung down, spreading out on the bed like a blanket.The bright red lip balm is dotted on Zhuzhu, and there is also a streak of red at the end of the eyes.

Suzuki Aoi walked across to her and sat down.

"You are in good health."

The beautiful lady held the teacup in both hands and placed it in front of Aoi Suzuki: "My lord is very skilled in medicine."

Suzuki Aoi remained silent, waiting for the lady to take the initiative to reveal her purpose.

The woman asked: "My lord, the medicinal materials for curing diseases all come from the forests in the north?"

"The demons in the northern border are rampant, and demon extermination masters of average strength are reluctant to step in, for fear of losing their lives in it. You and Master Xia You are concubines who have come into contact with each other, and the only exorcists who dare to enter the forest of the northern border."

"The concubine has a request."

After the words fell, the woman got up and walked to Suzuki Aoi's side, and knelt down.

"It is rumored that there is a spiritual grass in that forest, which can bring back the dead and bring the dead back to life."

She raised her head and pleaded: "I want to entrust you to pick the spirit grass."

No matter how high the price is, how many lives are sacrificed—even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she still wants that person to return to this world.
