People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Although the one I am holding is a pet, it is also a female, so I am so satisfied.

What's more, he was really happy that Xiao Mu would take the initiative to show up and travel with him.

Kurara, who was held in his arms and pressed closely against his chest, did not show any sign of struggling, as if she was used to it. She even tried to rub against his arms a little, trying to find a deeper position.

However, the light blue body now turned slightly pink.

It was a bit magical, and this was the first time Reinhardt had seen it.

It turns out that in addition to red and blue, soul jellyfish also comes in pink.

However, what he didn't know was that this was the second time Kurara had such close contact with a man, and her master at that, so she naturally felt shy.

At the same time, I felt a little secretly happy.

"Master, you don't even dislike me..."

She has always been very concerned about her identity as a soul jellyfish, fearing that her master Reinhardt would dislike her because of it.

After all, even though soul jellyfish are a rare conscience in the border area, many people still maintain a disgusted attitude towards soul jellyfish and even regard them as monsters.

But what she didn't expect was that her master not only didn't dislike her at all, but liked her very much.

This made her extremely happy.

In order to be worthy of her owner's love, she must continue to work hard and become an excellent jellyfish that can help her owner!

Come on, Kulala!

Fight on!

However, the master's embrace is really warm, hehe...

As night falls, the earth gradually becomes quiet, and the cliff is now silent.

The bright stars hang in the sky, like diamonds dotted in the boundless night sky. In the distance, the full moon, which seems to be about to sink into the earth, emits a wonderful light, illuminating the night sky of the lake and making everything pure white and mysterious.

Besides the faint rustling of the night wind through the trees in the distance, there was only the faint sound of waves rising on the lake.

It was like the call of all things intertwined with the whisper of the evening breeze, whispering in his ears.

It seemed like he hadn't felt the changes in the scenery at the border so carefully for a long time.

Although the border area is still chaotic and disorderly today, it seems to have a unique beauty.

"Rhine, please wait a moment."

Melina's voice suddenly rang out in the quiet night, causing him to subconsciously strangle Torrett.

"what happened?"

"...There's a hint of life in the grass ahead."

"Is it human?"

"No, it's a demihuman."

Following Melina's instructions, he lit the lantern at his waist, released Kurala from his arms, then curiously dismounted and slowly approached the bush Melina pointed to.

This is at the foot of the lakeside cliff facing the city of Stonewell. A few more steps will take you to the shore of Lake Lienia. Logically, there should be no living creatures here.

If there are any, they are just various insects.

Demi-humans? Where did they come from?

Following Kulara, just as he was holding a lantern emitting dim light to illuminate the bushes, there was suddenly a commotion in the bushes and an unknown creature rolled out.

He almost subconsciously rubbed his hands to grab a sun gun and threw it over, thinking that there were three brothers hiding in the grass, ready to run out and take turns to use a big move on him.

But just as lightning and light flashed in his hands, the opponent begged for mercy and stopped him. Even Kurara, who was about to spit venom, stopped.

"...Wait, wait a minute, please don't hurt me, I mean no harm!"

The ashamed unidentified creature knelt there with its hands raised, begging for mercy, "Thank God, thank you for your mercy..."

"What the hell?"

Reinhardt moved the lantern closer, finally allowing him to see the entirety of the unidentified creature.

Just as Melina said, it was a demi-human with gray hair that looked like a mouse and a bit like a monkey. His clothes were covered with patches and he wore a tattered hat similar to a minstrel's on his head.

He was also carrying a backpack that didn't fit his body shape at all.

"Are you...Burke?" he asked in surprise.

No wonder he looked like he had seen a ghost.

You know, the original border area was full of dangers, not to mention this chaotic era with many heroes emerging.

If it were a game, there wouldn't be much to say because it's just a setting.

But in reality, Berk, a frail demi-human who couldn't even lift a sword, went through hardships when he came near Lienia.

Although he killed Greg and many of his subordinates along the way, there were still scattered You Yong soldiers throughout the Storm Mountains, and even from the distant Hyde Fortress, there were probably many fleeing guys coming nearby.

Those guys can even deal with the Faded Ones, let alone small sub-humans like Burke.

"Ah, Master, long time no see!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Burke slowly raised his head, and when he saw Reinhardt's familiar face, his eyes were suddenly filled with surprise.

"That's great, it's really great. I didn't expect that the master still remembered me and the demi-human Berk."

Well, this guy is still the same, crying at the slightest provocation, and golden beans are falling down.

Pearls big and small fall on a jade plate, which is very suitable to describe Burke now.

"Okay, okay, stop crying as soon as you see me, okay?"

Like a pussy.

"Yes..."

"Well, so you are waiting for me here? And what did you call me just now? Master? What's going on?"

He had no memory of having a servant like Burke.

At that time, I helped Burke just because I was kind-hearted for the first time, and I didn't want to get any reward from Burke, so there was no need to mention the issue of coercion.

“Ah, this is what happened…”

Burke hurriedly explained:

"It was only with your help that I was able to successfully retrieve my mother's belongings... So, Master, I beg you, Burke, to allow me to work for you as a tailor."

"Although I can't sew clothes from scratch yet, Burke can help the master modify clothes..."

"..."

When Burke said this, the air suddenly became quiet, and even Kurara forgot to move her tentacles, as if she was frozen in mid-air.

Melina, who was walking over, subconsciously stopped when she heard this. She looked at Reinhardt's strong muscles exposed to the air, then turned her head and looked at the little Asian with a strange expression.

What I fear most is that the air will suddenly become quiet.

Seeing that Reinhardt didn't say anything and just stared at him, Burke became a little panicked.

"What's wrong, Master? Did Burke do something wrong?"

What did you do wrong?

It’s a big mistake, okay?

Reinhardt held his forehead helplessly and said in a troubled tone, "Hey Burke, do you think I have any clothes that I need you to alter?"

Not only was there not much clothing on his body, even his pants were only half gone.

If you hold a hammer in your hand, you will look like a completely useless person.

He needs clothing alterations?

But thanks to the fact that this is a border area, his style of dress is commonplace. If he were in a modern city, he would be arrested for disturbing the cityscape.

"what..."

After hearing this, Burke also reacted.

There was indeed no clothing on his master's body that he could change into.

The whole person suddenly became depressed, as if life had lost its color.

I finally found a goal to strive for, but I never realized that I was working in the wrong direction.

"Burke, don't worry."

Melina suddenly spoke up, bending down and gently stroking the top of the little demi-human's head with her hand.

This gentle tone and soft touch instantly calmed Burke's flustered heart. It felt like...

Like a mother.

Seeing Burke gradually calm down, Melina turned her head and looked at Reinhardt.

"Rhine, accept him. Although you don't need a tailor now, I think Burke's presence will be indispensable for the journey ahead. You won't regret accepting him."

Hearing Melina helping him speak, Burke was immediately excited and looked at Reinhardt with eyes full of expectation.

I hope he can accept me.

"..."

Under Melina's verbal attack and Burke's expectant gaze, Reinhardt put on a bear-like gesture and said, "Okay, okay, since Little Wood has spoken, I will naturally do as he says."

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, Master! Burke, Burke will do his best to improve his abilities. Sooner or later, Burke will sew a perfect piece of clothing for the Master with his own hands! Woo woo woo..."

Burke started crying again.

This time I cried tears of joy.

"Well, I look forward to that day."

He had no intention of stopping her and let her cry. He took over Melina's job and gently stroked Burke's little head.

"But there's one more thing. I wasn't going to refuse just now. Why did you act like I was going to refuse?"

After comforting Burke until he stopped crying, he stood up and looked at Melina in confusion.

Are you kidding? Burke can even modify the armor and clothing of a demigod. Such an excellent tailor can't be found in the border area nowadays.

But Melina didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

Although this smile is fleeting, you have to say, it is really beautiful.

160. Girl in the Lake (4.1K)

“It’s really tragic…”

Lighting up the blessed land on the ruins of Heze, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the desolate scene around him.

Lienia.

This was once the territory of the Kalia royal family and was adjacent to Nimgefu.

Due to the thick fog all year round, people cannot tell the direction and eventually get lost in the forest.

It is often accompanied by light rain, and 80% of its area is covered by lakes, so it is also called Lienia of Lakes.

This place used to have the best scenery, but now...

Time flies, and the mossy stone bricks are engraved with mottled traces of time.

The small town of Laska used to be so prosperous, with a bustling market with caravans coming and going.

But now, all the prosperity has been burned down and disappeared like a passing cloud, as if it had disappeared along with the civilization, leaving only a pile of broken bricks and tiles to prove the town's former existence.

"....Have you been here before?" Melina, who was following behind him, suddenly asked.

Since Torrett couldn't carry so many people, they chose to walk in the river and prepare to wade through the swamp to reach the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy.

However, Melina has been paying attention to Reinhardt's expression. Looking at his eyes full of nostalgia, he seems to be familiar with everything here.

"Ah, yes, my teacher and I once stayed here when we were fleeing..."

Reinhardt said with a look of nostalgia, "That was a long time ago, before the Shattering War. Back then, this place was bustling with traffic and extremely prosperous. It could be said to be the most prosperous place in all of Lienia."
