I am a stubborn person and work for the evil god to fight against female prostitution.

Running the road, I said without looking back

, "Aisarina, you go to the Adventurers' Guild to find Old Willy, and I'll go to the town council to have a look."

Damn, it's an urgent situation now

!I remember Lorenzo said that the lord of this town is unreliable, so we won't care about him!

" "Lord Xia Ming..."

For some reason, it took a long time for Aisarina to respond.

The boiling magic supports the body to move on.

The cold wind whistled in my ears.

I don't know if it's because of its interference, I feel that Ai Serina's voice is warm and difficult.

"Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first. I...... I'm afraid I'll have to rest for a while. "

What's wrong with you?!"

I snapped back.

Only then did I realize that Aisarina's pace had slowed down, and she had distanced herself from me for a considerable distance.

There is a walkway more than ten meters long between us.

It's like crossing the gap between life and death.

"Let's go, Lord Xia Ming. Otherwise...... It's too late.

She was still smiling, but an orange-yellow flame burned out of her body.

Flames flowed from her emerald green clothes and spread throughout her body.

No damage to the skin, no damage to clothing.

The flame burns the soul

!It is the flame that does not extinguish the flame!

【But remember: everything has a price】

I recalled the words of the red-haired store manager in my heart.

"It's okay, Lord Xia Ming,"

she seemed to be aware of her physical state, and her voice became a little frightened.

The sixteen-year-old girl fears death and is ashamed of the promise she has not fulfilled.

But she still plucked up the courage to comfort me.

"I just need to rest for a while, don't worry.

I'm a genius! I know my body very well.

She forced a smile.

"I made an agreement with Lord Xia Ming. So, definitely not going to fall here.

We're going to move forward together, please... I

couldn't help but pick her up.

"Lord Xia Ming, you..."

and then jumped onto the roof, condensing a fist of sufficient magic power to directly shatter the azure window in front of him.

"No, don't kill me—"

I grabbed by the collar of a strange man hiding in the house amid the crackling sound of glass shattering.

With a hideous face and a bully-like tone, I said to him,

"Rush to the Adventurers' Guild and find Old Willy."

Tell him that the Saint-level Ice Giant is coming soon...

Do you hear clearly?" "I, you, this..."

"Do you hear clearly

!" My

wrist strained, and under the violent fluctuations of emotion, the churning black flame wrapped around the palm of my hand.

The whole person is as vicious as a demon god!"

"

Repeat!" he

obediently repeated.

"Why don't you go soon?

You also faintly feel it, and feel the approaching vicious aura.

Don't forget, you're saving your own life, too!"

watched him stumble in the direction of the Adventurers' Guild.

I breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Aisarina in my arms.

The breath of the flames scorched the skin that touched each other, and it was clear that there was no injury...

But I felt a sweltering heat, something I had never felt before.

It's like holding a red-hot soldering iron.

The pain from my soul made me almost cry out.

Even so, they are reluctant to let go.

I will never let go!"

"Lord Xia Ming, you are doing something bad. The goddess will be angry. Looking

at her pale face and chapped lips, I gritted my teeth and ran backwards.

"She won't. "

Where are you going?"

"Find the red-haired store manager." "

Why?"

"You have to tie the bell to the bell!" "

Actually, it's not necessary. I'll be able to recover after a while of resting myself..."

"Don't say stupid things. "

What?"

"Don't say stupid things! fool!"

I sniffled, biting my lip, and crying.

Holding her waist tightly, I flew through the streets with all my might.

............

When I came to the door of the oddly shaped magic prop shop, I just stretched out my hand to call the door, but I found that...

With a creak, the door opened respectfully to the sides.

It seems that my visit has been anticipated for a long time.

I was so anxious that I didn't care about any small things, but rushed straight into the store.

Out of fear

that the red-haired store manager Ruyue would avoid me out of some strange insistence from the prophet.

I'm going to break in even if I try to break in!

Luckily, that didn't happen.

Rather, she almost couldn't wait for me to arrive.

Ruyue still sat in the same position she had sat in when they first met, chewing on the compressed biscuits with relish.

I don't know where she got it from.

"This thing tastes good,"

she said to herself.

The bright white crystal ball placed in front of her eyes was playing like a projector.

I looked closely, and it was actually the scene when the four of us encountered the ice giant.

"Hey, this is too disrespectful, right, actually saying that pets or something, there is a way to die...

Hey, you're here!"

For some reason, Ruyue stepped forward diligently.

She took Aisarina from my arms and placed her in a chair.

At this moment, the latter has fallen into a coma due to intense pain.

"Please, that's... "

It's the store manager, isn't it an old witch?"

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you for that."

You can punish you however you want, but for now, please help Essarina first!"

"She'll be fine.

"Huh, but her body is very hot.

"It's just a normal rejection reaction.

Ruyue shrugged and swallowed the biscuit in her mouth with great difficulty.

"It's so dry! It turns out that only the first bite is delicious...

Well, back to the point.

As she herself said, it's good to rest for a while.

Rest assured, there will be no problem with monthly care. With

an affirmative tone of infinite confidence, I couldn't help but believe it.

The big stone in my heart fell to the ground, and I suddenly relaxed.

"Really, I said you, you should trust her a little more!"

"Thank you!

Please ask the store manager to help take care of her during this time, and I promised to do something else." With

my hands folded and I bowed to her, I pulled my legs and wanted to leave.

At this time, I heard Ruyue say...

"If you're going to go to the Adventurers' Guild to inform Old Willy, don't waste your time.

Ruyue waved her right hand.

The crystal ball in front of him suddenly shone brightly, revealing the scene of the Adventurers' Guild.

I saw that the guard, who seemed to be named Robert, had arrived at the scene out of breath.

After hearing the news, Old Willy looked serious and shouted something to the adventurers around him.

"As you can see.

The store manager Ruyue said.

"For now, your mission is complete.

After she finished speaking, she brushed the picture on the crystal ball away with an understatement.

"However, Ruyue is curious now about what you should do next. "

Next—"

The voice seemed to echo in the void, and it seemed thin and weak.

What to do next?

I don't have an answer in my mind.

"In

that case, how about Ruyue give you two choices?"

she said, and without waiting for me to answer, she wrote and drew in the air.

The gathered magic evolved into small characters.

She used gold and black handwriting to draw the boxes on the left and right sides.

Separately...... Write about the possibilities of the future.

"On this side, you're going to stand up for the people of Yarra.

Become a leader and command adventurers to fight and protect the innocent.

Of course, there is no doubt that this will be life-threatening.

Once you fail, you will lose everything.

She pointed to the delicate and feminine font of the golden ink.

"On this side, you're not responsible for anything.

You and your beautiful knightess will escape alone, leaving the others in the chaos.

It's none of your business, you've done everything you can to protect the town.

However, the Holy Rank is too strong an opponent, and there is no shame in choosing to escape.

You are the key person in your destiny.

The townspeople of Yarra are a tiny fraction of the townspeople.

On top of the scales, you weigh much more than anything else.

Therefore, no one is qualified to blame you.

It was still the right decision. With that

, she placed her finger on the wild scribbled black light.

Ruyue raised her head and looked at me quietly.

"So, Ms. Xia Ming, how will you choose?"

there was no pleading or threat in her gaze.

She wanted me to be independent and free from external interference.

I was silent.

Neither say yes nor no.

My expression was like a cold rock, and I couldn't see the fluctuations in emotion.

"It's okay, it's okay.

She chuckled.

Ruyue also knew that this was difficult to do, and it took time to think.

Yes, it couldn't be more correct, only a fool would make a decision rashly.

However, the time left is not much.

The adventurers had begun to assemble their battle lines outside the town.

But you also know that they can't withstand the onslaught of the Ice Giants.

The result was just a wasted life.

Once there is a sacrifice, your 'choice' is irrelevant.

So, make up your mind as soon as possible. Silence

again.

It's like a continuation of the silence just now.

I still don't know what to do.

Stand up, or choose to escape?

Although the word hero sounds good, not everyone can do it.

After thinking for a moment, I seemed to think of something suddenly, and said

, "How did you know I was coming?" "

Hehe, Ms. Xia Ming, don't forget, Ruyue is a real prophet." "

Are you a prophet, but you can't predict my choice?"

"Ruyue has long said that your fate is overshadowed by the qi of the strong, and it seems to symbolize a bundle of freedom in the midst of the many trajectories.

Not even the 'gods' know until you make a decision. "

So,"

I muttered.

"Then I'm going to take control of my own destiny.

"What?"

"I want to decide the future for myself and don't follow anyone's instructions.

Do not give in to the strong, do not bully the weak.

"So? But you have to choose a way to go.

"Since I provoked it, it's up to me to send it to the end.

Alone, dignified duel.

That's the path I'm going to take.

That's the only way to make sense, isn't it?"

"Incomprehensible. But...... Interesting, for sure. Looking

at me, Ruyue's eyes were rippling with a smile that couldn't be hidden.

This guy is so difficult!

She's no ordinary prophet!

" Lady Aisarina left Ruyue to take care of, promising that nothing would go wrong.

In addition, Ruyue will give you a piece of advice at the end:

Ms. Xia Ming, don't underestimate your black flame, and use it with awe.

Since it has chosen the path of 'freedom', it will also break free from 'bondage'. "

Break free?"

I silently chewed on the meaning of these four words in my heart.

Indeed, at the moment when I made my decision.

I did feel the black flame in my body being extremely active.

It's as if it suddenly has a weak spirituality, and is no longer a mere dead thing.

Able to listen, able to cooperate, and become an independent and free individual.

I don't quite understand what this means.

But Black Flame has become easier to manipulate, and that's a real benefit.

Wait, it's easier to manipulate?Suddenly,

a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.

How to deal with the intractable Ice Giant.

This is a question that I have been thinking about for a long time, and now I seem to have found the answer.

I rushed out like an inspired child.

Every second counts, and I need a key prop to complete my plan.

Gotta get it before the Ice Giant comes!,

I didn't even have time to say hello to Rutsuki.

I silently expressed my gratitude in my heart.

............

After making sure I was leaving, Ruyue slammed the door of the prop shop.

The room was plunged into darkness and silence.

The white crystal ball glows with light and becomes the only source of light in the darkroom.

Ruyue held the crystal ball in front of her chest, and the smile on her face did not decrease.

Is it the only source of light?

, she thought to herself, it doesn't seem to be so.

Ruyue shifted her gaze to another glowing object in the room.

The orange-yellow flame of light was wrapped in a circle, attached to the center of Aisarina's eyebrows, like a red lotus in full bloom.

Ruyue looked at it for a long time, and was a little distracted for a while.

"Crisis is opportunity, so geniuses are annoying.

The life-saving means that can make others seriously injured have benefited her when it comes to her.

Forget it, after all, if you meet, Ruyue will also help you.

Otherwise, if you continue to grind like this, you will be able to 'absorb' it in the end.

However, I can't meet her in time.

It was a funny scene.

Although except for Ruyue, no one else should have the opportunity to get a glimpse.

Just for that interesting scenery, Ruyue has to make a little effort.

After the red-haired store manager Ruyue said this, he put his hand on Aisarina's shoulder.

The magic power of the vast abyss sea was released, diluting the unquenchable flame that burned and shone in her eyebrows.

Her magic had an aura of equalization in it, and the stubborn aperture was quickly split into pieces by the impact.

The fragments scattered into Esarina's limbs, merging with the magic within her.

The surging stream of colorless mana suddenly turned orange and red!"

Ruyue put down her hand and looked at Aisarina, who had eased her pain and her state began to recover, and said,

"The door to the holy level has been opened.

With your unwavering belief, you'll probably be able to break through this hurdle soon. Ahh

"Come on, little girl

, the day you shine, Ruyue is very much looking forward to it. Again, he

showed a playful expression that knew everything.

She lifted her arm and carried Essarina into the inner room.
