Black Knight From Blue Star

 After the idol collapsed, Cainluo's voice disappeared.

 The people of Inrodo who were watching around looked at Hadi as if they had seen a devil.

At this time, missionaries from the Church of Light are needed.

But now the missionaries were on the move. They were roaming the city, treating the poor and sick.

Although no effect can be seen in a short period of time, this silent change is the most terrifying thing.

 Because people are all good at comparison.

 After Hadi occupied this border city, there were sporadic resistance, street fighting and guerrilla warfare in the past few days.

 But...after five days, such battles almost rarely happened.

 The human heart is made of flesh.

These "outsiders" who captured the city gave them food to eat and treated their illnesses.

 There is nothing more important than a well-fed and healthy body.

 Because the resistance gradually weakened.

 At the same time, preparations for the construction of a new Temple of Light have begun.

 In the Lord's Mansion, Hardy looked at the data handed over by Leonard and nodded with satisfaction.

The lord's mansion here has been dug three feet into the ground by his men, and all the secret passages and secret vaults have been dug out. They really got a lot of wealth.

 What is the specialty of Inrodo?

 Gems and spices.

 And most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the nobles.

As long as the nobles' homes are confiscated, they will really make a lot of money.

 “Leonard, what do you think now?” Hardy asked the other party with a smile.

 In fact, the night before leaving France, Patience came to see Hardy secretly.

After the tenderness was over, Patience said: "As a stepfather, you should take more care of Leonard, okay?"

　　Although Leonard is one year older than Hardy, since Patience said so, Hardy will naturally take more care of his cheap stepson.

 Now is the time when Hadi begins to teach his stepson.

 Leonard thought for a while and said: "Inrodo is much weaker than I thought."

Hardy shook his head and said: "You are wrong to think so. It's because we in France are too strong, and it's because we in Louisian County are too strong."

Leonard laughed dryly. Only Hardy or a very powerful magician could do such a thing as breaking down the city gate alone.

In Leonard's opinion, such a battle cannot be replicated.

Seeing the disapproval look on Leonard's face, Hardy continued: "Even if I don't take action, with the current combat effectiveness of our Louisian County, it will not be difficult to capture this city. It just takes a few more days. It’s just a matter of time to carry out a long-range attack.”

 Leonard said nothing.

Hadi smiled and said: "I took action just to reduce casualties."

Leonard thought for a while and said: "Sieging a city is very troublesome. Although the Silver Knights are very strong, cavalry siege is almost useless."

Hardy smiled and said: "You should find that there is a magician team of about a hundred people in our army."

Leonard nodded.

 He did find it.

"Those are the elites of our Magic Academy." Hardy said with a smile: "They are also the results of our Magic Academy in the past two years. Now it is time to test their studies. You will be able to see it during the next siege."

 Leonard was a little curious: "Then why were they not allowed to attack the city this time?"

"Because it's not needed." Hardy smiled and said, "Okay, you continue to patrol and maintain law and order in this city until Kaldor's people come and take over."

Leonard nodded.

 When he left, he was still thinking about how powerful those magicians could be... If magicians were really so powerful, magicians would have been the protagonists in previous wars.

 After Leonard left the room, Hardy lightly stepped on his shadow three times with his right heel.

 Scarlett emerged from the shadows. Her snake tail was tightly wrapped around Hadi's right leg. She leaned forward and asked with a shining look: "Master, do you need service?"

“No, you go to the front line and help me get Joanna back.”

Scarlett immediately became serious, nodded and then disappeared into a black line touching the ground.

 She knows the difference between business and private matters.

Hardy leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he no longer needs to do many things personally, leading an army in a war and marching on the territory of an enemy country is itself a very dangerous thing.

 He must consider everything in order to continue on the path to victory.

Even if Inrodo is weak compared to France, he still has to be very energetic and think about all aspects of the problem.

 After such a long period of time, although the body is not tired, it is easy to get tired mentally.

　　Yumi walked in. She just heard Hadi sighing.

 “Let me rub your head.”

She walked behind Hardy and started massaging herself without waiting for Hardy's reply.

 The body temperature of elves is lower than that of humans.

 So Yumi’s fingers are really like soft jade, cool and tender, and it feels very comfortable when pressed on her head.

"Thanks."

Hardy said softly.

 “You’re welcome.” Yumi chuckled.

 The room became quiet.

 The two of them didn't speak for a long time. Hardy was enjoying himself and recuperating, so he didn't want to talk.

 But Yumi looked thoughtful.

There were several hesitant expressions on her face, but she finally said: "I feel... Hardy, you seem to be a little resistant to me."

 “Huh?” Hardy opened his eyes with a confused expression.

Yomi whispered: "You treat other people better than me. We have known each other longer, but why are you willing to get close to them?"

 “I’m not close to them either.” Hardy was a little puzzled.

Although all of the elves looked like they were free to pick and choose, Hardy really didn't touch any woman during this period.

"Atmosphere, you and them are more harmonious, I can feel it." Yumi said unhappily.

Hardy said nothing.

 Because what the other party said is indeed the truth.

 Hardy was deliberately alienating the girl.

“Is it because of my mother?” Yumi suddenly asked.

Hardy's heart skipped a beat, but his expression was well controlled and his face didn't move at all.

 After a few seconds, Hardy asked: "What do you mean, I don't quite understand."

"Actually, I know everything." Youmi said with a somewhat disappointed tone: "Mom smells like you."

 “Huh? You are mistaken.”

Yomi said quietly: "Although my main profession is ranger, I also practice wild druid...My mother doesn't even know that I have learned these skills."

"Then what?"

"My specialty is wild transformation, so my sense of smell is actually very good." Yumi's tone seemed very calm, and she seemed to be like a volcano about to erupt: "The smell on your body is very strong."

　Hearing this, the Hadi people all went numb. (End of chapter)
