It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Under pressure from Lin Li, Christine signed a contract with Lin Li.

Contents of the contract: Before the two return from the misty jungle together, Christine will be Lin Li's maid and take care of Lin Li's daily life. During this period, Christine cannot leave Lin Li without permission. Lin Li cannot ask her to do anything too much. After leaving the misty jungle, Lin Li will let her go free and give her a space ring. During this period, neither party can do anything that harms the other.

Lin Li had already thought of the maid when he saw that Christine wanted the space ring.

So before signing the contract, Lin Li said to her: "Do you want a space ring? As long as you are my maid for a few days, I will give it to you when we return from the misty jungle."

As expected, Christine couldn't resist the temptation and fell for it.

"Now that the contract has been signed, can we take a good rest?" asked Christine.

"Of course, take a good rest today. I can't stand running any more."

Lin Li took Gaina away when he entered the city. The unicorn was too conspicuous. This time, Gaina did not refuse, mainly because she was also very tired.

The two found a nice hotel and had a good rest for the day.

Before going to bed, Lin Li said to Christine: "Tomorrow, come and call me at dawn. Remember your current identity. You are now a maid. You are responsible for taking care of me."

Christine glared at Lin Li fiercely. She thought to herself, I only have to endure it for a few days. It only takes a few days from here to the misty jungle. Being a maid for a few days can be exchanged for a space ring. It is still a good deal.

Just bear with it, just bear with it.

But as a maid, Christine was very unqualified. She woke up later than Lin Li the next day, and it was Lin Li who called her.

Lin Li was already wondering if he had lost out by defrauding a maid of 3000 gold coins.

After breakfast, Lin Li directly handed her a space ring.

"Take it. We will be buying a lot of things later. I will give you the ring directly. You don't have to wait until you come back from the Misty Jungle. I won't be able to use it anyway."

Christine really didn't expect that Lin Li would give it to her directly, and she happily accepted it.

Even his attitude towards Lin Li improved a lot. "I've been to the royal city several times. Tell me what you want to buy and I'll lead the way."

The two of them came to the morning market and bought a lot of things, mainly dry food and some things for camping. The original things were only enough for Lin Li himself, so now that there was one more person, naturally they had to prepare more.

After buying the things, Lin Li called Christine to walk towards the south gate.

It wasn't until they exited the south gate that Christine realized what was happening.

"The Misty Jungle is to the west. How can we leave the city through the south gate?"

Lin Li smiled wickedly. "Who told you that we are going to the Misty Jungle now?"

"Didn't we sign a contract?"

"We signed a contract, but it didn't stipulate when we should go."

"Didn't you tell me that you're the only one who knows how to get in there? I have more important things to do right now. Let's go there later when we have time."

Christine was stunned for a long time before she realized that she had been deceived. She yelled angrily: "You bastard, shameless ************ ah ah, I'm going to kill you."

"what……"

Suddenly, Christine fell to the ground, holding her head in pain. Her last cry was of pain. It seemed that she had been warned by the contract. She was really going to attack Lin Li.

Christine held her head for a while before she calmed down, then burst into tears.

The cry was desperate and helpless.

Lin Li walked over and comforted her, "Why are you crying? To be honest, you won't suffer any loss if you follow me. You are a silly girl. If you don't get fooled by me, you will be fooled by others sooner or later. I don't know how you have survived these years."

Christine was still crying. Lin Li had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't worry, I am still very interested in Mithril and will definitely go there in the future. I really don't have time now."

I don’t know if she was tired of crying or if she had figured it out, but in the end Christine accepted the reality and obediently followed Lin Li to continue heading south.

But the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Li became more resentful. Even during breaks, Lin Li found that she often squatted on the ground and drew circles. She was also constantly muttering something in a low voice.

Although she was called a maid, Lin did not need to be served. She was not used to being served, and the key point was that Christine could not serve well either. The relationship between the two could only be described as that of partners in the same industry.

Not to mention that Lin Li always got up before her every day, she didn't even know how to grill a fish, so Lin Li had to do it himself. She didn't even know how hard she pressed her shoulders. Lin Li suspected that she might have done this on purpose.

The two of them traveled for half a month, passed through two kingdoms, and arrived at the Kingdom of Scotton.

This is one of the kingdoms that was at war with the Xius Kingdom where Lin Li was located.

As Lin Li got closer and closer to the Kingdom of Xius, a lot of news came out from there. At present, it was no longer just the two kingdoms that were at war.

Several neighboring kingdoms have openly joined the war to varying degrees, and there are many kingdoms taking action in secret.

The worst thing is that the Kingdom of Xius is in the worst situation. Most of its land has been seized by other kingdoms. The war has also spread to his hometown, Skoland.

Scotton is a country at war. As an aggressor country, its homeland has not been affected by the war, but the lives of the people in various territories are miserable. During the war, in order to maintain the huge expenses of the war, all places will increase taxes and recruit able-bodied men.

In this magical world, not all soldiers are warriors, civilians also play an important role in war. They undertake tasks such as logistics transportation, building fortifications, and serving as army cooks, and even charge into battle as cannon fodder when necessary.

Walking in the Kingdom of Scotton, Lin Li clearly felt that there were fewer young men. In the towns and villages, most of them were old people, children and women. And this was the invading party.

The situation in the Kingdom of Xius will only get worse.

Lin Li took Christine and quickened his pace, heading towards the Kingdom of Xius. In fact, Lin Li tricked Christine to come here just to increase his fighting power. Christine had been out there for so many years and was a master fighter herself. He brought her with him in the hope that he would have an extra fighter to protect his family.

After entering Scotton, the two did not enter the city. They only took a short rest in the small town, and finally arrived at the Kingdom of Xius after crossing the mountains and hills for a few days.

No, this can only be considered the land of the former Kingdom of Xius.

After entering here, Lin Li saw many destroyed villages and farmlands along the way.

The closer he got to Scolari, the more worried Lin Li was about his family. He didn't know what was happening to his parents. And Eudora and Luke, were they also involved in the war?

Especially the signature on the note, which made Lin Li puzzled.
