Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

“There are basically no problems now.”

Crystal wanted to jump to show that she was fine, but she almost fell.

"Is this called no problem?"

Martha looked at her much more lively sister with dissatisfaction.

Maybe I have been suppressing myself before, Martha couldn't help but think so.

Although her comments on Xiao were a bit subtle, she was still very grateful to this guy who saved her sister.

"Ahahaha...just staying here will definitely cause trouble for you and father."

"Oh, I get it. Xiao, I'll leave my sisters in your care."

"No problem, just the sisters?"

"Lucy and Rose are my lovely sisters too! If you make them sad, I will never forgive you."

"I understand, onee-sama."

"Hey!"

When Martha was called by Xiao, she was suddenly at a loss.

But seeing his smirk, Martha realized that this scumbag was making fun of her.

"Asshole, you still bully Sister Martha."

Crystal punched Xiao hard.

"Just kidding."

"Kristo."

"Eh? Father."

Lester, who had been watching the few people silently from a distance, came in front of Crystal.

"This is something your grandmother left behind. It is said to have originally been a royal treasure."

Lester took out a necklace and handed it to Crystal.

"But…"

"I'm sorry I haven't been a very good father. At least, I hope this can help you on your journey."

"Not really. Father, no, actually I'm quite grateful to Dad."

Crystal hugged Lester.

"Actually, I should be the one thanking you. I wish you an exciting life in the future."

Lester touched his daughter's head awkwardly.

"Ah."

"Mr. Xiao, I'll leave Crystal in my care."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect her."

"At a time like this, aren't you going to say something about how you want Chris to be happy?"

Martha decided to take a small revenge on Akatsuki.

"Ms. Martha, that would make Mr. Lester very uncomfortable."

"What do you mean?"

"If someone said in front of me that he wanted to make my daughter happy, I would definitely punch him."

Looking at Lester's awkward smile, Martha realized that her father seemed to think the same thing.

"You guy...ah."

Xiao carried Crystal, who was still unable to walk, onto the carriage and came to Lester solemnly.

"Please leave Crystal to me. Even if you want to punch me, it's okay."

"Hey! Xiao, what did you suddenly say to Dad?"

Crystal was startled by Xiao's behavior in the carriage.

Lester put his hand on Xiao's shoulder with a withdrawn expression.

"I'll leave Crystal in your care. As for punching you, I don't think I'm qualified to do that..."

"Although you may not approve of it yourself, your daughters all agree that you are a qualified father."

"But…"

"Of course I'm not asking you to let go of your guilt. But isn't it a bit rude to Crystal to show this expression right now?"

"I...thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Seeing her father looking at her with a smile, Crystal felt very surprised.

Although it was a little stiff, it was the first time she had seen Lester smile from the heart in a long time.

"Okay, I'll leave now. It would be terrible if you suddenly change your mind and hit me."

"What a strange person he is."

Watching Xiao leave with a playful smile, Lester couldn't help but mutter.

Chapter 46: So cute, it must be a boy

"Oh, it feels so good."

Lucy sighed while holding the black dragon egg.

Inside the carriage, three girls were resting while holding the cold dragon eggs.

"Why is it so hot around here? It was so cool just a few days ago."

Rose felt very confused.

The weather was very cool and humid a few days before they entered the territory of Warhol, one of the border earls of the empire.

But the closer you get to Pierre-Aiguille, Warhol's largest city, the temperature rises rapidly.

"It's really strange. The climate around here shouldn't be like this."

Crystal looked at the scenery outside and felt very confused.

It was clearly midsummer, but the grass outside had already turned yellow and dry. The trees in the forest had also dried up due to the heat and drought.

Crystal has been here several times, and the scenery she saw was very different from what it is now.

“Could it be because of the drought?”

"I'm not sure. There shouldn't have been such a severe drought in the history of the western part of the empire."

Crystal tried to recall and rejected Rose's idea.

“It’s not a drought.”

Xiao, who was driving the carriage, felt that the surrounding environment was a little strange.

Although these trees are withered and yellow, they have not completely lost their leaves.

It's as if we have suddenly fallen into hot and dry conditions in recent times.

"Xiao, can't you help us cool down with magic?"

Even though she was holding the cold dragon egg, Lucy still felt a little hot.

The slightly fragrant sweat and the feeling of underwear sticking to her body made Lucy very uncomfortable.

"If you want to camp outdoors today, I don't mind."

Under normal circumstances, ordinary travelers would not use magic to cool down.

On the one hand, it is because of the intense consumption of magic power, and on the other hand, it will attract attacks from monsters.

For some reason, Xiao and his companions have been attacked by Warcraft very frequently since they entered Warhol Territory.

"Oh~, forget it then."

Lucy sniffed herself, and the unique fragrance that belonged to her and Rose was already very obvious.

Although it wasn't sweaty, Lucy still felt strange for Xiao to smell her scent.

She wanted to take a good bath in the hotel.

"Well, there's a hotel in Pierre-El that's the largest in the area, and the bathhouse inside is really luxurious."

Crystal said to Lucy with a smile, recalling her previous visit to Pierre El.

"Huh? Really?"

Lucy was very excited when she heard the news.

Although Rose didn't show any obvious reaction, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation showed that she was clearly looking forward to it.

"Then let's stay there tonight."

"Hey, Xiao, you're pretty good."

"It's really insincere to praise me at a time like this."

Xiao helplessly tapped Lucy's little head who was lying beside him.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters."

Lucy stuck out her tongue.

"But if we can get to Pierre City today..."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone ahead is being attacked by a herd of magical beasts. It looks like a noble convoy."

"Is it the crest of that family?"

Crystal asked nervously.

"do not know."

"Can you show me what's going on there?"

"Here, be careful with your eyes."

Xiao handed Crystal a small box containing something similar to a contact lens.

It just looks like it's flashing with various colors of light.

"Ouch! I feel a little sick."

Through the lens, Crystal saw Astra's reconnaissance vision in the distance.

"So I told you to be careful. This is a normal reaction when using something like this for the first time."

"Xiao, could you please go to the front and support the convoy? They are from the Warhol family."

"I understand. Rose, help Crystal take off the lenses. She probably can't do it alone right now. Lucy, come and drive the carriage."

"Ok."

Rose took the box from Xiao and laid Crystal flat.

Lucy also took the reins from Akatsuki.

After arranging these matters, Xiaoyue got off the carriage, took out a spear and threw it in the direction of the convoy.

The spear pierced through a vulture circling in the sky and slammed violently to the ground.

The huge impact stunned the people and monsters in the battle.

"Well, I happened to see you guys in trouble so I decided to help you out."

When the smoke and dust cleared, Xiao appeared beside the spear.

"Thank you, regroup immediately!"

The man commanding these knights and guards quickly understood the situation and immediately gave orders.
