After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

However, Filia shook her head again and said, "Hold it for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Murphy to express any questions, she turned around and left the warehouse without saying a word.

Murphy, who was behind her, was stunned for a moment when he looked at her back, but he knew Filia's nature, so he was only stunned for a moment.

He had no good way to deal with Filia's willful nature, so he could only shake his head helplessly with the "sword" in his hand.

At this moment, Filia, who had already reached the door of the warehouse, stopped and urged, "Let's go, there's nothing worth paying attention to here now."

Then she spread her hands and said teasingly, "It's quite poor here. It's always been like this."

"I'll do whatever you say, my dear young lady." Murphy shrugged and bowed pretentiously towards the door.

Then he casually pulled out an inconspicuous piece of cloth and wrapped the sword.

After doing all this, he jogged over to catch up with Filia, who was covering her mouth with her hands and laughing, rolling her eyes at his previous antics.

"Let's go." Murphy said.

Filia smiled and nodded gently: "Well, let's go."

The two walked out of the open door of the underground warehouse side by side.

No one knew that the two of them had appeared here at such a tense moment.

Chapter 127 Reluctance and Farewell

"It's troublesome."

In a small private room in a tavern in Leinburg, Murphy took the large package handed to him and then thanked the huge figure in front of him.

Wood touched his head with one hand, smiled naively, bowed, and said, "No, Brother Murphy, it's me who should thank you. After all, I owe you another life."　

"No, that has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank you, go thank your close associates." Murphy shook her head.

But Wood smiled and said nothing, just turned his gaze to his side, and Murphy also looked to his side.

There, Selena was holding his arms, clinging tightly to him and not letting go.

Murphy smiled bitterly and didn't try to break free, knowing that it was pointless.

At this moment, Wood suddenly said: "Although Mr. Graling and Miss Kelly have already delivered the letter, but..."

Having said that, he hesitated briefly, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Murphy, that Miss Candice seems to have left Lars a week ago, and we... haven't found her yet."

His voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum by the end. If Murphy hadn't listened very carefully, she might not have heard it.

When he looked in the direction of the voice, he found Wood with his head down.

But because Wood was very big, even if he lowered his head, Murphy could still see the expression of extreme self-blame on the big guy's face.

He reached out his hand, raised his arm as high as he could, patted the other person's shoulder, and said, "It has nothing to do with you if you can't see her. Keep your head up, Wood."

Seeing that this guy in front of him, who was obviously very tall but extremely cowardly, still showed no signs of raising his head, Murphy sighed softly.

Then, he snorted lightly and said in a low voice, "Wood, have you forgotten everything you told me at that time?"

"How could that be! I've always remembered it! I'll never forget it!" Wood raised his head hurriedly, only to see Murphy looking at him with a smile.

This made him realize that he had just been deceived by the other party, but he was not angry, just felt a little embarrassed.

Murphy smiled, then patted the other person's shoulder again and said, "Hold your head high and be more confident. You said it yourself. You must work hard to 'stand' up."

"And I have to ask you to help me with this matter. If she comes back, please help me deliver the letter to her."

"Oh, and I'll have to trouble you with the letter to my master and Ella."

Wood straightened his back and assured, "Don't worry, Brother Murphy, we will definitely complete the task!"

"There's no need to be so serious. I'm just helping you." After saying that, Murphy shrugged and stopped paying attention to that side. Instead, he looked at Selena beside him again.

He knew that when he said "Help me deliver the letter to her", she had already looked up at him.

Even without turning around to confirm, one could clearly feel that burning gaze.

"Selena, take good care of yourself. Find some powerful guys to protect you. Don't let yourself be kidnapped again like this time." Murphy stretched out his free hand and touched Selena's head. His movements and tone were very gentle.

Selena didn't speak, of course, she couldn't speak.

But even so, she didn't take out her little notebook to write or draw, but just stared at this side without blinking.

Although she couldn't speak, Murphy read the meaning of that look.

He shook his head gently at Selena and said, "Sorry, Selena, I want to go out and take a look, so I can't stay here."

The moment the words fell, Murphy saw Selena lower her head, and even the light in her eyes seemed to have dimmed.

Although I can't bear it and don't want to, there is no other way.

After all, this was something that had been decided a long time ago, and I had to go out and take a look.

but......

Looking at Selena with her head down, Murphy felt a surge of pity in her heart again.

So, he began to comfort her, "Selena, I'll leave Lars's affairs in your hands. I hope that by the time I return, you'll have achieved a higher status than before."

Seeing Selena raise her head and look over here in confusion after hearing this, Murphy smiled and said, "Although I am the heir, my status will probably be very low by then."

"So, if I can't make it out there and end up running back home in disgrace, I'll have to rely on you to protect me then."

Without waiting for Selena's reaction, he continued to laugh and joked, "Why don't you just push that old man out and become the boss yourself? Haha, then I'll say every day that I'm the boss's brother. How face-saving that would be."

Murphy said this while smiling, looking like she was in a good mood.

Selena was still in a daze, but she nodded instinctively.

Seeing this, Murphy smiled and said, "Well, it's settled then. How I live my life will depend entirely on you."

After Selena nodded again, he looked up at Wood and said, "I hope that when I come back, you will be different from now."

"At least try to straighten your back first. If you bend over, you'll be almost shorter than me."

After saying this with a smile, Murphy pulled her hands away from the embrace.

"That's it, Selena and Wood, see you later."

Murphy touched Selena's head, and without waiting for the two to react, he picked up the big bag and walked out of the private room of the tavern.

After arriving at the lobby of the tavern, he first took a quick look around, and then walked directly towards the figure sitting alone in an inconspicuous corner.

Only when you get closer will you notice that although you are in a tavern, the hooded man is not drinking, but just eating some simple snacks.

Moreover, although he had his back to this side, this person seemed to sense Murphy's arrival.

Before Murphy could speak, the man said, "Is it done?"

Murphy nodded and said, "Well, everything is ready, we can go."

Hearing this, the hooded man turned around, and in an instant, a dazzling silver light ran out from the hood.

Filia simply adjusted her clothes to make sure there would be no more flaws.

Of course she saw the big bag in Murphy's hand, but she didn't ask much. After all, she was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's secrets.

Besides, this is obviously not a good place to have a conversation.

So, after she simply tidied her clothes, she said, "...Let's go."

Murphy nodded to Filia, then picked up the bag and walked out of the tavern with Filia.

The official update will start tomorrow

The mid-term defense of my graduation project has ended today, and I will officially start to make the updates I owe from tomorrow!

Including today's, I owe a total of 17 chapters so far. I will try to finish them before May.

Chapter 128 The Worst Woman

"The Free City... Crossmaria?"

"Well, the carriage and guide are ready. Once we get there, Patrick Reinhardt won't be able to reach us. We can kill time there until the storm blows over."

The free city of Crossmaria.

It has several layers of strong walls and prospered as a trade center connecting to the surrounding areas.

Backed by its financial strength, this city-state enjoys the privilege of being free from interference from other countries.

Therefore, even if it was a high-ranking official from another country, the Crossmarians, who valued their autonomy, would probably refuse any interference.

"But when I think about the carriage fare coming from the money my family sold, I feel mixed emotions."

"Please spare me. I even owed a debt after this operation, and the money I took from your family was basically used to fill the deficit."

Murphy frowned, letting a dark sigh escape her lungs.

Yes, the travel expenses, the expenses that Filia will need for the rest of her journey, and the reward for entrusting Old Jed.

None of this could possibly come from his pitiful pocket.

Although I saved some from previous missions, it was definitely not enough.

Then I can only borrow it.

From the hands of the notorious pale-haired demon, Tarvis Tiger, under the worst possible conditions.

"Anyway, we should leave early. If a commotion breaks out, it won't be easy for you to pass the checkpoint."

"...Then what are you going to do? Murphy, won't you be found after I leave?"

Before getting on the carriage, Filia, with her silver hair tied up high, smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Ahem—I... probably won't. It's okay, I'll catch up later."

"As for now... at least I have to repay what I borrowed, otherwise I won't be able to stay in this country. Sigh, this won't work."

Lied.

Everything I just said was a lie.

Talvius Tiger's debt had just been paid off by Wood using the old house and the property stolen from Patrick's mansion when he rescued Filia.

However, even so, Murphy still has his own purpose.

He must achieve great success and not repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

Oh, yes, now there is one more person - I have to get the same status of power as that slumlord.

Since we have such a purpose, it is absolutely impossible to stay with Filia and hide in Crossmaria to avoid the limelight.

You can't stay in one place forever, you have to do something big.

By the way, I also want to satisfy that little selfish desire.

After all, the world is so big. If possible, I would like to see the scenery that I have never seen in my previous life.

So, let's say goodbye to Filia here.

The future has changed a little, but you will definitely be a person as strong and cool as in the past.

Still as annoying as ever though.

But at least.

So far, so good.

Rather, I even feel a little reluctant.

It’s so strange, why does it feel this way?

Unconsciously, Murphy was immersed in emotion.

At this moment, I felt as if someone was holding my wrist tightly.

I lowered my head and looked over there, and saw Filia's white fingers.

And...the force used by this woman was so strong that it was like she wanted to crush my wrist into a ball.

"No."

Crunch—it seems as if you can hear the sound of flesh being tightened.

Murphy couldn't help but frown and looked up at Filia. It was a familiar face to him.

The smile this woman wore when she was being mean was there, right now.

"If you dare to leave me, I will return to the mansion now. So what then? A certain daring thief, Murphy, attacked me because he was blinded by desire."
