Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"How amazing." Alulu sighed from the side.

"You're amazing too!" Zoe laughed.

And I made friends... Leon rubbed his temples.

"Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing here?"

As the scene became more and more chaotic, Leon couldn't help but think about the purpose of coming to this island in the first place.

Dorothy rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Brother, brother, look how wild they are and how good they are at causing trouble."

"..."

"I'm different. I'll just listen to you."

"You should save some too."

"Ugh."

Leon mobilized his magic power and summoned a wind element aggregate to make it bring about a whirlwind.

Strong winds blew yellow sand from outside the city into the shopping street, causing passers-by to scream and duck to the side to avoid being blinded by the yellow sand.

The reinforcements from the Sand Corps were also held back by the sandstorm. Leon stepped forward and grabbed Zoe: "Let's go, let's go. Do you want to lure everyone here?"

"Weren't we here to gain experience? I'm having a blast!"

"You can't defeat all the people on an island. When the stronger ones come, I'll be the one to fight again. I'll leave quickly."

When Leon's voice became a little more serious, Zoe responded obediently, sheathed her sword, and prepared to leave with him.

Alulu was a little at a loss and stood there alone.

"What about her?" Zoe asked.

Li Ang said to the girl from the Bull Horn Tribe, "Come with us, let's hide together first."

Alulu was stunned for a moment, then followed hesitantly.

Li Ang took the three girls across the street, passing through various alleys and shops, shook off the Shakai Group, and came to the outside of the Liuyin Arena.

"Should we hide inside?" Zoe's eyes lit up.

"Don't even think about it. There are only guards in there."

The urban cluster of the Glittering Fields is on the east side of the island, extending in a long and narrow north-south direction, with the port in the south and the arena in the north.

To the east of the arena lay the lavish mansions of the various leaders, led by King Platinum, resembling royal palaces. A broadway led directly from the arena to the mansions, flanked by elegantly dressed guards.

To the northwest of the arena is another commercial street. Compared to the grocery stores near the port, the ones selling there mainly sell "hard goods", namely monster materials, equipment, and airship equipment, and the water is also deeper.

As he explained this, he led the girls into the Northwest District, and everyone immediately sensed a different atmosphere.

The pedestrians passing by had serious expressions, many of them covered their faces with cloaks, and hurried to and fro.

The shop owner did not shout out his wares, but silently did his work. The store was dimly lit, and it seemed that they would rather hide their wares than display them, and would only communicate with them when someone who knew the goods came to them.

There are also people from the Sand Corps here, but they are not as ostentatious as before, and they are not extorting money everywhere. They are just looking for what they need.

"Where are we going?" asked Dorothy.

Li Ang whispered, "The Sand Relics will eventually find the Northwest District. With what we did just now, we have no choice but to go to the black market."

"Black market? Is it dangerous?"

"A dangerous place is a safe place." Zoe said seriously beside him, "That's what 'The Adventure of the Sword King' says."

"There are many books about this sort of thing," said Dorothy. "I'm asking for details, not just some childish imitation."

Zoe puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Li Ang explained: "The black market is a street where the most dangerous elements of the Glittering Wilds gather. There are no rules or order in it, or rather, checks and balances are also a kind of order.

"King Platinum is too lazy to spend energy to deal with them, and the Sand Corps doesn't dare to search casually. This really makes us not have to worry about them. I'm not worried about your safety either. We just need to keep an eye on our own wallets.

"Cover your faces with your cloaks before you enter."

Li Ang glanced at Alulu. Her white cloth had loosened a little, revealing her small, round nose and a few strands of pink hair. He then handed her a cloak.

When they reached a bar, Leon put Dorothy down from his back, who was reluctant to leave, knocked on the secret door, handed the guard the entrance fee, and led the three of them into the black market.

This place was built in a tunnel, and even with the mix of magical lamps, oil lamps, and enchantment lamps adorning the area, it was still dim. Whispers could be heard frequently in the gloomy air.

I took the three of them into a hotel with a door frame so low that they had to squat to enter. We found a table and sat down, and immediately a stuffy heat swept over the surroundings.

Li Ang said to Alulu straight away, "Okay, let's talk about your business."

90. Fiery Alulu

The girl from the Ox Horn tribe was stunned by Leon's words.

Zoe asked, "Do you really need to ask? Since Alulu is wearing a mask, she probably doesn't want anyone to know about her, right? Her heroic act is nothing to worry about. It's better for us to forget each other."

"Really, read less miscellaneous books."

Seeing her talking so well, Li Ang hit her. It wasn't that he thought she had done anything wrong, but he was enjoying the feeling.

"Hey, didn't Leon ask me to study more?"

"Learn something good. By the way," Leon looked at Dorothy, "Since you are a noble lady, it will be up to you to teach this wild child how to behave in the future."

"Ah? Me?" Dorothy looked reluctant.

The two girls looked at each other, both wanting to say something, but then stopped themselves, and this time there was no quarrel.

Although an unexpected event occurred during the desert battle, it improved their relationship and turned out to be a good thing.

"That's great..." the girl from the Ox Horn tribe whispered in a baby voice.

"What's wrong?" Li Ang asked her.

"You guys have such a great bond with each other."

Glancing at the two guys, Li Ang said, "It's okay, but we still need to get used to it."

"Indeed," Dorothy said, moving the stool closer to Leon, "it's not nearly enough."

Zoe frowned at the half-elf, then stood up and ran over to him, holding his hand.

"Wait a minute, you guys..."

“It’s wonderful to have such a partnership.”

Alulu clenched her fists, and half of her face and the envy in her eyes could be seen through the white cloth.

"Don't take this as normal friendship." Leon felt like he was being burned by flames and hurriedly said to her.

"Stop making trouble for now," Li Ang was so excited that he pushed the two people away and tried to change the subject.

"Ms. Alulu helped us, but we had already escaped. Because of your intervention, we are now in trouble with the Sand Corps. We can only temporarily live in the black market, which makes it inconvenient to do many things."

Alulu lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, but the teachings say to help those in distress."

Alulu's baby voice made her seem extremely lovable. Not to mention Zoe who already thought of her as a friend, even Dorothy had an expression of "why not bother with it" on her face.

"Did you come to this island alone?" Leon asked.

Of course, he had selfish motives in bringing this girl along.

The Star Flower Brigade is still looking for partners, but recruiting through the guild is no longer feasible, and there is no idea how to find Zoe's partners. Leon does not want to miss any opportunity to find partners.

The girl before him possessed rare divine powers and was a paladin, so she had excellent qualifications. Although people didn't want to be paladins, they often accepted them as companions.

Considering her attitude of envying the company of her companions, even though there was some misunderstanding, if she was a lone ranger, perhaps I could find a way to recruit her into the group using what just happened as an excuse.

"I came here with my companions."

"So you have a companion." Zoe seemed to have the same idea as Leon and said disappointedly.

Dorothy was much older than the little wildcat and acted like a spoiled girl, so she couldn't play with her. However, she had a strong liking for Zoe, who was good at boxing and kicking, like Alulu.

"We are chasing a criminal who has hidden on this island," said Alulu.

"A criminal?" Zoe's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be imagining a story again. "Who is he? Tell me about him. Is he the leader of the sky pirate group? The one called Desert Eagle?"

"It's Blood Eagle." Dorothy said helplessly, "Didn't you provoke the Sand Corps yourself? You can't even remember the boss's name."

"It's not him," Alulu said. "We're chasing the man in the robe, Chu Wulin. We have an obligation to judge him."

The girl spoke in a baby voice for a long time before she explained the whole story.

On an island called Antlion Wasteland, the residents of a small town who believed in a goddess were brutally murdered. The girl's faction, the Knights of the Guard, got clues about the murderer and sent a team to capture him and bring him to trial.

"Knights of the Guardian Church, are you from the Theocracy of Watam?" Leon asked.

Alulu nodded.

Zoe stared at him with clear, ignorant eyes: "What is that place?"

"Wathamism is a widespread faith among the Newbis, and their devotion is to the goddess of love," Leon said.

Dorothy said, "Most of us in the Ignis space also believe in the Goddess, even the Holy Sporil Empire. It was because the first emperor was crowned by the Pope of the Wattam Theocracy that the empire was given the name of Holy."

"Ignis Airspace is where Leon went before, right?"

Zoe blinked and looked at Alulu: "You ran so far."

"No, the Theocracy of Wattam is in the airspace of Sabrum," Leon said.

If you look at the sky map, you will find that the Sabrum airspace is located southwest of the Ignis airspace, and the northern part is adjacent to the Flores airspace.

Between the two airspaces of fire and sand stood an insurmountable wall of wind, and near the wall was the island where the Theocracy of Wattam was located.

In terms of spatial distance, the Theocracy is very close to the Ignis airspace, but the actual navigation requires a detour.

The Knights of the Guard are the fighting force of the Theocracy of Wattam. Their purpose is to protect the believers and pilgrims of the Wattam religion.

When a town of believers was massacred, they naturally had to take action.

After Leon introduced the Knights, Zoe exclaimed with interest, "How cool."

"They're quite rigid. You wouldn't think so once you've dealt with them." Dorothy rolled her eyes. "Spark Harbor has hosted the Knights of the Guard on a few occasions. Oh my god, I don't want to think about it."

Alulu lowered her head: "They really do awed many people."

"Why are you here alone?" Li Ang asked, fanning himself. It was really hot in the hotel.

"I sneaked out."

Ah, this guy...

"I was short of money, and I passed by the ring and saw that they said the winner would get all the property, so I went."

Dorothy said, "Don't we learn from the doctrine that we should not seek wealth outside of ourselves?"

"Is it okay if I just work hard on my own?" Alulu said uncertainly.

Li Ang was almost sure that she didn't actually understand the doctrine.

Judging from the current feeling, even if she didn't show her face, we know that she is not very old, so it is normal to have some misunderstandings.

But could this be cultivated to the level of a 3rd-level Paladin? With her brute strength, Leon would have believed her to be a warrior of the extraordinary realm, but a Paladin?

"After I finished the fight and was hiding the money, I saw the group trying to extort money, so I kept reprimanding them."

"Did you fight all the way here from the other side of the market?" Li Ang's eye twitched.

"Ah."

Fine.

When Li Ang entered the hotel, he ordered food from the front desk. The main course had not been served yet, but a plate of appetizers was brought in.

These snacks are deep-fried, hollow balls filled with a variety of sugary fillings, some resembling whipped cream and others syrup.

"Why are you short of money?" Zoe asked.

Although she was an out-and-out wild child on the island of Satus, she had never experienced poverty and had no concept of money since she obtained the gems produced by the predecessor of the Earth Serpent and followed Eden and Leon all the way.

Zoe grabbed the crispy balls and put them into her mouth one by one. Leon saw Alulu swallowing her saliva visibly and even heard a gulp.

This may be one of the reasons.

The Theocracy of Watam, the Knights of the Guardian Church... Among these people, there are also strong people above the realm of excellence, and they can even go to the Demonic Disaster Realm to preach.

Unlike beliefs that change slightly after spreading to other airspaces, the faith of the Theocracy adheres to the most original doctrines, including restraining desires and practicing hard work on both body and mind.
