Elden Clergyman

But the problem is that the thing's movement space seems to be a bit too wide. After hiding for a long time, it finally slipped through the finger during a position adjustment.

It's just embarrassing.

But just when Lord was about to explain something, he found that something was wrong with Alice.

Wait a moment.

Did she...did her body stiffen for a moment just now?

To be honest, if it were someone else, Lord would definitely apologize and ask the other person to take the finger out.

But Alice...

You know, right? That's Alice!

This was the first time Lord had seen her behave like this.

Although he felt something was wrong, because this matter was too strange, after thinking about it for a while, Lord decided to test it again to confirm it.

Gulu.

As the sound rang out, Alice's body paused visibly.

But, it didn't stop.

Lord's eyes lit up.

Hey, this is fun.

Although he didn't have any special fetishes, Lord had never seen anyone who could make Alice so angry.

Especially since the other party has no intention of stopping, then...

After that, Alice's law restoration work began to become more and more difficult.

After repairing the laws one by one and confirming the situation, Alice lowered her head and looked at Lord.

But just when Lord's expression became increasingly awkward and he thought she was about to talk about herself, Alice shook her head.

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

"If you want, I can even stay here and play with you."

"It's just that the work of restoring the law has been completed, and there are others waiting for you. I suggest you go and see them first."

"If you want to play again later, you can come find me again. I can accompany you whenever I'm free."

After Alice said this, Lord became even more embarrassed.

"Well, I..."

"I quite like this, too."

Alice looked at him, her expression calm and her tone serious.

Lord fell silent.

"...Well, I'm going to go check on others first."

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Lord chose a tactical shift.

After nodding, Alice let him go.

After he left, Alice lowered her head and looked at her hands, especially a certain red finger, and moved it gently twice.

The expression on his face was also slightly different from before.

After a moment, there was a soft sigh.

Although it is for the convenience of work...

But the sensitivity seems to be a bit too high...

......

the other side.

After leaving Alice, Lord suddenly realized a problem.

That was Alice. Although she said someone was waiting for him, she didn't seem to ask who it was...

Just when he was thinking about whether to go back and ask, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of him.

That is guidance.

But it is not guidance that emanates from blessings, but guidance that is composed directly of His laws and is born out of thin air.

Looking at the shape, it looks like a finger pointing in a certain direction.

Lord thought about it.

Then I gave up thinking and just followed this thing.

Since I can’t figure it out anyway, I might as well go and see for myself.

Then, Jiu followed the instructions and walked for a while. After a while, he saw Melina sitting on the trunk of a fallen tree. She looked a little depressed, and even her spiritual state was a little unstable.

"You're awake..."

After seeing Lord coming, Melina raised her head, her tone weaker than ever.

"I......"

"Don't talk yet."

Lord stuffed the soul directly into her mouth.

Then, Alice appeared beside him and helped explain.

"When you went in, I had to maintain space over there, so I couldn't pull my hands away. This kid helped you a lot outside, but he also suffered some injuries..."

Then it disappeared.

I don't know what I'm busy with.

Although he didn't understand what Alice was saying, he didn't know how Melina had helped him.

But the problem at the moment is not these. The problem is that Melina is in very bad condition.

Even after replenishing for a period of time, Lord felt that this replenishment was a bit slow. If he wanted it to be faster, he would need some carriers, such as his body, or some body fluids... Hmm?

Lord's eyes lit up.

Then, in front of Melina, he took out his double-edged knife, stabbed his wrist, and then aimed the wound at Melina's mouth.

"Drink."

Melina: “…”

Or you can just feed me the same way you did just now.

Although she was a little resistant to this feeding method, she had already poked it and blood was flowing out. Melina was silent for a while, but finally put her mouth on it.

Then, accompanied by a warm feeling, the blood carrying the soul flowed into Melina's throat.

And her spiritual state also recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“…almost.”

After almost recovering, Melina opened her mouth, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand, raised her head, and looked at Lord in front of her with complicated eyes.

After confirming Melina's spiritual condition, Lord nodded, then took a blood-curdling medicine to stop the bleeding before speaking again.

"So, what happened on your end?"

Melina's eyes flickered and she tilted her head.

"Nothing, I was just helping you stabilize your condition outside."

Melina said it lightly, but it was obvious from her spiritual state that this matter was definitely not as simple as she said.

But the problem is, looking at the thorns of rejection that are beginning to grow on her body, you can tell that there will be no answer even if you ask.

Just then the guide lighted up again. After confirming that Melina could not communicate, Lord followed the guide again and saw a delicate little flower that looked a little wilted.

"Ah, Mr. Lord..."

Millicent looked to be in much better condition than Melina, but she also had some injuries on her body and her face showed obvious fatigue.

Lord walked over and lit a warm fire, then reached out and gave her a full body check.

The situation showed that there was nothing serious, and even the matching degree of the right hand had improved a little, but it was a little tired.

"What happened to you and Melina during the time I was in the dungeon? How did it all end up like this?"

Millicent was silent for a moment, then gave Lord a brief account of the situation outside.

To put it simply, it is because this copy is too large and the things contained in it are heavyweight.

In order to allow Lord to concentrate on fighting inside without worrying about anything else, Alice asked the two of them to cooperate with Lord outside.

As for the way of cooperation, it is to let them walk along the corresponding position of the copy where Lord is, providing him with a stable anchor point in reality.

Then, through the method of anchor points, the speed and intensity of order construction are enhanced, giving him more room to play.

Melina is that anchor point. Although she has not actually entered the dungeon, she has been following Lord's footsteps outside and providing help to him in her own way.

As for Millicent, she accompanies Melina and acts as a guard. Because while working at the anchor point, the copy can also use the anchor point to influence some realities, such as guiding monsters to attack the anchor point, and Millicent's job is to deal with these monsters and protect Melina.

After listening to Millicent's explanation, Lord nodded.

"That's it..."

But I didn't actually understand what she was saying.

But he could realize that these two people helped him a lot, and he also knew why their golden talismans did not appear in this copy.

"Thank you."

Lord wouldn't say anything about not letting them help or taking any more risks.

Even if he didn't say that they did help him a lot, he wouldn't say that even if they didn't help much.

People need to be needed.

Of course he could, and he had the ability to put this little flower and that piece of wood in a vase, water it every day, pinch its leaves, and treat it as a pure landscape plant.

But that would not only cause him a lot of trouble, it would also be disrespectful to them.

Lord didn't intend to do that. On the contrary, he lowered his head, looked at the bright red flower in front of him, and said seriously.

"Then next time, please."

"of course."

After being asked by Lord, Millicent not only did not feel disgusted or annoyed, but looked very happy.

After all, she had received so much help from Lord before, but she could not give much in return, and she always felt guilty.

And now, she can finally help Lord in her own way.

Although she was a little injured and a little tired, Millicent was really happy.

Then, after the healing was completed, looking at the excited little flower in front of him, while breathing a sigh of relief, Lord suddenly remembered something and became thoughtful.

Wait, in this situation, isn't it...

"Well, Millicent, could you do me another favor?"

"of course."

Millicent nodded immediately.

"I've almost recovered and can fight again..."

As she spoke, she moved her arms, trying to prove to Lord that there was nothing wrong with her body.

only......

"Ah, not a fight."

Lord shook his head, then bent his knees and half-crouched in front of Millicent.

Under her puzzled gaze, he took one of her hands, and a gray ring appeared in the other hand. Then he raised his hand and showed it to Millicent.

Then, Lord looked into Millicent's eyes and spoke in a rather serious and earnest tone.

"Millicent."
