After that, things went extremely smoothly.

The paladins who heard the appearance of the darkin split into two groups. One group chased the three fleeing bull-headed monsters, while the remaining group was responsible for rescuing the wounded and maintaining order.

Although the impression of the church on Fia was not very good, Fia had to admit that they treated their own people who were also human beings fairly.

The paladins will record the items and tents destroyed by the dark descendants one by one according to the traces on the scene, and the church will compensate these losses. The things that made Fia slightly change her view of paladins.

In addition, fortunately, although many people, including the paladins who rushed over, saw the horrifying scene of Fia lifting the bull-headed monster, due to the distance, people did not see the sharp ears of Fia representing the elves. In addition, Claire kept Fia behind, and gave Fia the settings of "scared" and "beast blood", so the paladins were not too curious about Fia, but praised Fia for her bravery and courage. strength.

"To be able to lift that kind of monster, even if it is the power that explodes in a hurry, it makes us big men ashamed. Even if ten of us go together, we will definitely not be able to lift the two-horned bull clan. Although this lady does not It is very likely to be the lion clan of the orc royal family, but it must also be a powerful race such as a bear or a tiger, the second rank? Or a higher third rank?"

The paladin, who was in charge of maintaining order in the slum, glanced at Fia from time to time, and was speechless in admiration.

"If you apply for a paladin, you will definitely be selected in a short time, and maybe you can become our team leader."

"But the orc blood..."

"What's that."

The paladin who spoke first retorted.

Chapter 44 The Curse

"It's not a complete orc. As long as you have human blood, recognize the goddess of life, and recognize the church, you can become a member of us. If the church can absorb more talents like Little Fia, we will lose the manpower of dark descendants every year." It will be much less. You can also see the face of the captain chasing towards the two-horned bull tribe, it is an expression of determination to die. Those of us who are left here are either newly married, or the children of the family are not yet grown up, The captain didn’t let us follow because he cared about our family.”

"That's true. It's all thanks to Fia and Miss Claire here. If the two of them hadn't rescued them in time, these patrolling soldiers would have been in danger. Three bi-horned bulls, at least one holy The knight squadron is their opponent."

Speaking of which, the tall paladin first glanced at the soldiers lying on the ground receiving medical treatment, then smiled at Claire and Fia who was hiding behind her, his eyes full of kindness.

Claire also smiled back at the paladin, and took Fia naturally like an older sister.

"If all the paladins have nothing else to do, we will take our leave first."

"Wait a moment."

The tall paladin hurried forward, took a pen and paper from his companion, wrote something hastily, and handed the note to Claire.Perhaps it was because the paladin had some kind of protection, or it might be because he was not an ordinary person without magic power. The tall paladin was only afraid of Claire at the beginning, but now he is not so afraid.

"This is the proof that the two ladies helped us. Afterwards, the two of you can go to the church to receive the bounty with the certificate. Although the exact amount of bounty depends on the rank of the three-headed and double-horned monster, it has saved so many of us." Soldier, I think the bounty is at least fifty gold coins. Please be sure to receive the reward you deserve."

"Thank you."

After accepting the note, Claire led Fia away from the open space where the paladins were.

Although the paladin didn't explore why Fia kept covering her head with her clothes, there was always a possibility of being discovered by staying next to the paladin.If it wasn't for the scene of Fia defeating the darkborn being seen by the paladins, which dispelled their doubts, the paladins would check Fia's identity first.

However, before the two of them could take a few steps, they stopped again.

The one who stopped was not Claire, but Fia.

She caught a glimpse of a darkin patient being treated by Claire.

Because he was suffering from the dark-blood disease and there were all paladins nearby, the man could only curl up in the corner of the ruins, while his family members stood outside to prevent the paladins from discovering the blackened man.

Fia let go of Claire's hand, walked to the side of the man, bent down and asked.

"are you OK."

If Fiya remembered correctly, when the bull-headed monster charged into the soldiers, the men were also affected.Although the targets of the bull-headed monsters were temple soldiers, they certainly did not deliberately avoid this unlucky man.

The man who heard the voice raised his head, and when he saw Fia, the shrinkage in his eyes gradually faded away.

"It's... not bad. Thank you for helping us drive those dark descendants away."

"Isn't that 'okay'?"

It should have been scratched by the bull-headed monster. Most of the skin on the man's back disappeared as if it had been rubbed off abruptly, and blood was oozing out little by little.

The man grinned wryly.

"Just go back and apply some medicine."

"Compared to this, Miss, do you have a way to take him out of here? If the Paladin finds out, he will die."

The woman standing next to Fia asked with concern.

Probably not.

This man was all black, and he happened to only be wearing a pair of shorts. The target was too conspicuous, and it was impossible to take him away in front of the paladins no matter what.

"Heal your injuries first."

While Fia was thinking, Claire's voice sounded behind her.The latter squatted down slightly, and handed the medicine bottle in his hand to the man.

However, the family's reaction was unexpected.

First, there was the look of fear in the man's cloudy eyes, then there was the scream of "beep" from the woman's mouth, and finally there was a series of loud cries from the children around.As if Claire was not a human being, but a demon from hell, everyone flinched in fear.Especially the man curled up in the corner of the ruins, after seeing Claire reaching out to him, he acted the same way as the cat-eared slave that night, leaning his body against the wall, trying to avoid Claire's hand as much as possible.

"Strange...monster...don't come near me!"

"Don't touch my husband!"

The man in terrified terror covered his head with his arms, while the woman stood in front of the man with trembling legs.

No matter the trembling teeth or the shrunken pupils, it shows the fear and panic in their hearts.Even though Claire withdrew her hand and stayed away from the family the first time she sensed something was wrong, their actions still remained unchanged, and the fear in their eyes even deepened a bit.

How is this going?

Fia questioned with a frown.

"Hey, she just cured your husband, have you forgotten? You still knelt down and begged her."

"You... what are you talking about, I've never seen this person..."

The woman's expression looked like she was smiling, but the fear in her heart made her smile extremely distorted and ugly.

Fiya couldn't help being speechless, and pointed to the location where Claire treated the man just now, which had been reduced to ruins due to the trampling of the bull-headed monster.

"It was there. Your husband was suffering from darkin disease, and you cried and begged her to save your husband. Then, she, Claire, woke your husband up with potions and magic, don't you remember?"

"Are you kidding me, Miss you, isn't the one who cured my husband? You seem very angry... Ah! I will definitely hand over the cure and treatment fee to the leader, and let the leader pass it to you!"

"Tsk."

The woman's flattering and apologetic smile made Fiya feel impatient, and almost subconsciously, she stretched out her right hand to the woman's collar.However, when her hand was about to touch the woman's collar, she stopped suddenly.

It's not the woman's fault, violence won't solve the problem.

Everything is Claire's own curse.

"Fia, let's go back."

"but--"

but what?

Fia didn't know what to say for a moment.

This group of people had already forgotten about Claire, and even took Claire's treatment as their own doing.No matter how angry he was, no matter how unworthy he felt for Claire, even if he beat them up, lost his temper at them, and complained about the injustice of fate, it was impossible for them to remember what happened just now.It's like Anastasia clearly met Claire, but when she saw Claire again, she had no memory of Claire at all.Both are the same.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Fiya withdrew her hand and turned around.

"We act as if we've never met before."

Chapter 45 Whistle

When the voice fell, there was an unusually noisy sound nearby.The main force of the paladins who had been chasing the bull-headed monster had finally returned, but it was obvious that they hadn't caught the three dark descendants.After the leader said something to the previous tall paladin, he followed the tall paladin's pointing, looked towards Fia, and hurried towards Fia.

The other party should have come to thank him for stopping the Darkborn.

It's really not the right time.

Of course, the paladin would not hear the complaints in Fia's heart. He quickly stood in front of Fia. His burly figure and strong and powerful movements made this paladin exude a heavy atmosphere like a steel barrier.

The paladin took off his helmet, revealing his square face, and he bowed his head slightly to thank Fia.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, the loss this time would not be as simple as the collapse of some houses."

"That's my job."

Fia raised her head and responded modestly.

——Until the moment when the two eyes intersected.

Suddenly, Fia felt her heart skip a beat.

Looking at Fia's appearance, the paladin first frowned and tilted his head slightly, as if he was remembering something. Then, the expression of gratitude on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by his eyes slightly narrowed, and his right hand stretched to his waist.

"Red eyes and black hair, beautiful appearance... Your Excellency, can you please take off the clothes covering your head."

"Wait, this child is a little shy, can you not embarrass her?"

Pressing the snow-colored shawl on Fia's head with both hands, Claire smiled wryly at the paladin.

However, the paladin didn't give Claire a good look. He took a step back, drew out the big sword at his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword at the two of Fia.

"Please do as I say, ma'am, and don't make me do it."

whispering sound.

Was discovered.

- The first strike is stronger.

"Spirit Fire"

Fia instantly fired three consecutive fireballs at the paladin, and at the same time strode back to distance herself from the paladin.However, unlike the imaginary scene where the paladin could no longer fight, after three fireballs exploded one after another, the approximately 40-year-old paladin stepped out of the smoke and dust in one step. Except for a slightly embarrassed face and hair, his actions were not seriously hindered.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a layer of golden light on the surface of the Paladin's armor. It is this layer of defensive magic that allows the Paladin to escape.

"Ho!"

The next second, the paladin slashed at Fia with his sword.

It's a pity that this sword didn't hit anything.When the paladin looked for Fia, there were no traces of Fia and Claire on the ruins. .

"Where did they go!"

"Report, report to the captain, they are heading west."

"Hurry up and blow the whistle! Don't let the elf princess run into the city!"

"Yes Yes!"

A few seconds later, a sharp whistle that pierced the eardrums sounded from the slums.

The line of sight shifted to the alley.

When the paladins were still searching for Fia and Claire in the streets, Fia had already been led by Claire to the block near the hospital.It's not that the two have teleportation magic or magic that can move freely among the crowd, but that they have been jumping between the roofs from the beginning, naturally avoiding the gaze of the paladin.

This experience made Fia feel novel.

She had only seen people jumping on rooftops in art before.Although in her era, even ordinary people could use the nanomechanical exoskeleton to jump between rooftops, but it was an act that was expressly prohibited by law, so this was Fia's first experience.

Whether it was the strong wind blowing past her ears, or Claire running away with her, Fia felt a strong sense of freshness, as if nothing in the world could stop her. Unhappy to chase.

However, they ended up in an alleyway full of debris.

After such a long time, the paladins had already noticed that they were jumping on the rooftops, and now they fell into the alley, so it was not easy to be found.Not to mention that few people pass by this alley at ordinary times, and it is full of wooden boards, gravel and household garbage that block the view.

"Huh, at this distance, it's unlikely they'll catch up to us. Is Fia okay?"

Claire looked at Fiya beside her. Because her identity had been exposed, Fiya didn't cover her head with Claire's shawl.

"Fortunately."

"Really? I heard rumors that although the elf princess is smart, she is not in good health and often gets sick. Fia doesn't seem to be sick at all—it's better to say that she is too healthy. Even the adult two-horned bull tribe Can be lifted easily."

"Ahaha..." Faced with Claire's surprised gaze, Fia scratched her head embarrassedly, "Maybe the former elf princess was indeed weak, but that was the former elf princess, not the current one. Give this back to Claire. elegant."

Fia handed back the snow-white shawl to Claire.Perhaps it was because Claire had been wearing it all the time. When the shawl passed Fia's nose, there was a pleasant smell, which made Fia feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Claire didn't notice Fia's embarrassment. She just patted the dust on her skirt and led Fia down the alley.

"Sorry for making you worry about me."

Suddenly, Claire said as she advanced quietly.Since Claire didn't look at Fia when she spoke, but looked forward, Fia could only catch a glimpse of Claire's side face—although it couldn't be said that her face was expressionless, it was difficult to see Claire clearly at this moment. Thinking about something, many inexplicable emotions were mixed in the deep green eyes.

Maybe he was saying that he almost used violence against that woman just now.
