Murphy certainly noticed her actions, but he didn't stop her.

Firstly, Candice's movements were slow and didn't exude any malice, but more like a strange prank;

The second reason is that Murphy has not yet reacted and wondered what Candice has been doing from just now until now.

To put it simply, Murphy was hit by a combo by her and then put into a dazed state.

Finally, Candice's index finger passed through the crack in the clothes and gently poked the itchy spot on Murphy's waist.

......

Feeling the sudden strange touch on her waist, Murphy's goosebumps suddenly appeared.

Candice only touched there with her fingertips, and the touch was separated immediately, but the cold touch in that brief moment still made him almost scream out.

Fortunately, although his expression was slightly distorted, he finally resisted the urge to scream.

Seeing the expression on Murphy's face that looked like she was in great pain, Candice couldn't laugh anymore. She thought she had accidentally hurt Murphy, so she quickly withdrew her hand.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy, I'm not..."

This is actually the method that Filia taught Candice.

She told Candice that if she wanted to get closer to the person she liked, she should first change her appearance.

Candice did as she was told, taking off the tight robe and putting on a dress that exposed her forearms and legs.

In addition to dressing, Filia actually taught her a second point, which was also one of the fundamental reasons why she had just made that intimate move.

On the night they returned from the Labyrinth City, Filia, who had already believed in Murphy, began to rack her brains to recall the education she had received in her family in order to help Candice.

After a whole night of hard work, I finally managed to clearly explain many methods.

However, among those methods, some even Candice felt unreliable, so that part must have been made up by Filia because she didn't remember it completely.

But after all, Filia said a lot, and after removing the unreliable parts, there are still a few useful ones.

For example - pranks that do not exceed the limit, or slight physical contact and intimate actions.

These methods really help to build a closer relationship between Candice and Murphy.

But the problem is that Candice is weak-willed and can't do such a thing.

Not to mention physical contact and intimate actions, it was even a question whether she could speak a complete sentence fluently in front of Murphy.

But Filia won't let her go easily. After all, these are things she racked her brains all night to come up with, and you tell me you can't do it?

Are you kidding me?

Under Filia's coercion and inducement, Candice gave in. After all, she wanted to get closer to Murphy.

So she "surrendered" to Filia's tyranny.

The kind that is half-hearted.

But Candice was unwilling to admit it at the time. She felt that she agreed to Filia just to fool her temporarily and escape from her tyranny.

So at that time, what she was thinking was: 'What to do next time I meet Mr. Murphy, isn't it up to me to decide?'

In some ways, Candice is actually quite tough.

But she couldn't get hard in front of Murphy, especially after hearing Murphy say that he wouldn't be angry with her.

After all, she even laughed out loud just now.

The seed that Filia had planted in her heart also blossomed quietly at this time, which was another fundamental reason why she played a prank on Murphy.

Of course, now she has begun to regret the prank she just played on Murphy.

Looking at Candice, who had an anxious look on her face and wanted to apologize to her but couldn't speak a complete sentence because of her anxiety, Murphy could only sigh silently in her heart.

What should I do? I just said I wouldn't be angry, so I can't be angry with her now.

If I accidentally say something to her now, I'm afraid she will burst into tears and continue to apologize.

It feels... a bit troublesome.

Thinking of this, Murphy sighed in his heart again.

Chapter 59 Don't Be Anxious

Murphy simply gathered his emotions, and his face showed the same kind smile as before: "It's okay, Miss Candice."

"Didn't I tell you before? I won't be angry with you, so please don't worry."

While listening to Murphy's sincere words, I looked at his face with a smile like a warm spring breeze.

Candice was completely stunned. At this point, she was actually completely controlled by the man in front of her.

Of course, Murphy, the culprit, is unaware of this, and Candice herself... well, doesn't know either.

However, Candice's daze did not last long, and even Murphy, who was facing her, did not have time to notice her abnormality.

Because behind her, another person's voice was heard.

"Hey, what are you two doing here sneaking around?" the speaker was Old Jed.

Just now, he finished his secret conversation with Filia and brought her over here.

Murphy and Candice, who heard the sound, also noticed them.

Murphy raised her head calmly and looked over Candice's body at Old Jed.

He shrugged: "It's you two who are talking secretly."

When he raised his head to respond to Old Jed's joke, Candice did not turn around and look at them.

Instead, she lowered her head, walked quickly behind Murphy, and then turned around.

And at this moment, she had completely hidden in the shadow behind Murphy, without any gap.

Fortunately, her hat was big enough to completely cover her cheeks which were covered with two large patches of fire clouds.

Otherwise, the fact that she entered the red temperature state in 0.0001 seconds would probably be known to everyone present.

Murphy didn't care about Candice, after all, she had always been a little weird.

Old Jed didn't pay any attention to her. When they were in the maze, he no longer had any interest in teasing Candice, even though she was quite entertaining now.

Besides, now is not the time to tease the little girl, after all, there is still something important to discuss.

"Boy, there's work to do."

"what?"

Murphy asked back with some confusion.

After all, with his current strength, the work on Old Jed's hands is basically not worth his time.

It's not that Murphy has become arrogant, but asking a swordsman master to do commissions like cleaning sewers and finding cats... is indeed a waste of talent.

But Old Jed is not a fool. It is impossible for him to assign such a commission to Murphy after seeing his current strength.

"Well...it's not too difficult for you, but the reward is quite high."

After hearing what Old Jed said, Murphy just shrugged indifferently.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to reject Old Jed.

After all, he no longer values ​​money, so compensation is not important at all.

In addition, after Gralin has dealt with the dragon horn in the next two days and told me the information about his apprentice, I will have to go to the Earldom for a walk.

If I accept Old Jed's commission now just for the sake of a small reward, and end up missing the best opportunity, it would be a waste of time.

That's right, what Murphy was waiting for was the best opportunity - the day when Wilfred Castle's defense was the weakest.

Wilfred Castle is actually the main castle of the Reinhardt family in the earldom, which is where Filia's uncle, Viscount Frederick Reinhardt, currently lives.

These were the findings of Murphy's investigations in his spare time. It was called an investigation, but in reality, he just asked a few mice.

These things were not a secret, and many mice knew the answers, so Murphy easily found out the information.

Now let’s get back to that perfect time.

Murphy knew that Filia was the daughter of Patrick, the current Count of the Reinhard family, so she should have lived in the royal capital.

But the task that Rayleigh gave Dickens that day was to send someone to bring Filia to Wilfred Castle in the Earldom.

So it is obvious that Frederick will definitely send a large number of troops to escort Filia to the royal capital, and this escort will last for a long time.

After all, no matter what, Filia is the daughter of the Earl, and it is very important to ensure her personal safety, so it is reasonable for many people to escort her.

As for why this escort lasted for a long time, it has to start with another story.

Although the earldom is adjacent to the royal capital, and Wilfred Castle is not far from the royal city.

Therefore, even if we proceed on the road with great caution, we will arrive in two days at most.

but.

Is the role of the guard team really just to protect?

Murphy knew about the incident. He remembered it immediately after he met Filia and corrected his wrong memory.

It was a night when he was tortured by Filia to the point of falling to the ground. He fell to the ground exhausted, and Filia sat beside him and whispered about her past and the opportunity for her to join the brave team.

But Murphy only listened to the general idea because he fell asleep halfway through.

But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, he is not a monster with infinite physical strength like Filia or the hero, who can run around safely after being beaten all day.

He was really tired at that time. After all, he had just been beaten by Filia for the whole day. In addition, Filia's voice when telling stories was very gentle, so he slept peacefully.

In a physical sense.

Because later he was caught by Filia again and beaten unconscious again.

Having said that, perhaps because it was the first time he was knocked unconscious, the impression was too deep, and he eventually remembered the incident that Filia described.

According to Murphy's calculations, the incident occurred in the past few days.

In fact, he had just recovered this memory and did not pay attention to this incident at the time. He thought it was an event that would happen in the distant future.

It was not until he went to the city lord's fortress in Dickens and heard the task that Riley gave to the city lord that he slowly pieced all the things together.

In short, Murphy was ready to refuse Old Jed's commission.

But Old Jed is Old Jed after all, and that sharp one-eyed man is never just talk.

Murphy's face was obviously calm, without a single flaw, but Old Jed seemed to see through it.

He laughed softly at Murphy and said in a teasing tone, "Don't be in a hurry."

"This commission might be an opportunity for you."

Chapter 60 If you can't win, go back and inherit the family business

Murphy ignored the sarcasm hidden in Old Jed's words. After thinking for a while, he decided to listen to what the commission was first. After all, Old Jed had said so, so it shouldn't be without purpose.

Thinking of this, Murphy nodded.

Old Jed whistled cheerfully, then pointed his thumb at Filia, who was standing next to him, and said in a slick tone, "This lady may need a little help."

Following the direction of his finger, Murphy turned her head and looked over.

An expressionless face.

Murphy sighed inwardly and said helplessly, "So? Don't keep me in suspense."

In fact, Murphy probably knew what was going on. It was most likely the commission that Rayleigh gave to Dickens, and then Dickens outsourced to Old Jed - to capture Filia.

But he didn't expect that this matter would have anything to do with him.

"You're so impatient. I don't know who you learned this from." After being scolded by Murphy's two words, Old Jed no longer had any interest in keeping the secret.

"Don't guess, it's actually what you're thinking about now. This girl needs someone to escort her now."

Escort? Didn't Dickens ask you to take her back? Why do you want me to escort her again?

Murphy couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Old Jed. He didn't ask directly, but he knew that Old Jed could definitely see his doubts.

But Old Jed didn't answer him directly. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed his index finger to his side.

Murphy turned her head and saw that Candice had walked out from behind her and stood there without her knowing when.

At this moment, the expression on her face had returned to calm, and only the still slightly red tips of her ears could reveal her previous shame.

But no one cares about this now, not even herself.
