Chapter 147

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”

The mirror did not respond .

Of course, it was really just an ordinary silver plate . Even if it was relatively expensive, it was not a magical prop, so how could it answer?

If it really said, “Beautiful lady, you are the loveliest woman in the world!” then Kasalie might be scared .

She stared at the mirror, finding that the young girl in the mirror was beautiful, with appropriate clothes, and perfect makeup which made her even more stunning . The pearl pendant that hung on her chest, which complimented her ivory white skin, had an especially intoxicating charm . Even the maid beside her, when looking at her smile, felt shy .

But at that moment, the girl in the mirror was very depressed .

Women were trying to dress up, most of the time because they wanted to make lovers happy . When her mother was still alive, she compared the women to flowers that should not casually bloom in front of outsiders . At that time, she did not understand this, and could not fathom why her mother was so happy when her father came back .

Now she understood .

However…

She sighed deeply and the girl in the mirror sighed with her . The beautiful face was so sad so that even the maid beside her felt distressed .

“Mother, what can I do to make him happy?”

The girl in the mirror couldn’t answer . The maids couldn’t answer . Kasalie returned to the dressing table in a gloomy mood . Her eyes were full of confusion .

“Father, you once said that the best man was one who was not fascinated by my beauty, but simply liked me . Now I have met a man who is completely unfazed by my beauty; but how can he like me?”

She was depressed for a long time, and finally put herself together, completed her makeup, and went out with her maid .

“Good morning, Miss Kasalie . ”

“Miss Kasalie, are you going out?”

Along the way, servants and bureaucrats greeted her, and she responded to each one . Whenever she responded, that person suddenly felt excited and rejuvenated; especially the young men . It was like they had drank a potion .

When she walked past the door of the Hall of the Governor, she stopped and looked inwards .

The tall, handsome man, who was steady as a mountain, was sitting in front of the desk . A lot of documents were piled on his, desk and people needed him to handle them .

The man was always busy . Before, when Gars City was in ruins, he rushed around the construction sites and took the lead in work . He also personally sneaked into the sea floor of the port of Gars to get rid of the large pieces of gravel that prevented the boats from parking . Afterwards, Gars City was slowly revived, and he dealt with the business that would never be finished all day . He also had to take the time to examine major cases, and deal with various forces . Sometimes needed to lead teams personally to annihilate the powerful monsters that fled from the wilderness and into Gars City .

It was because of his leadership that in the short span of two years, Gars City would be transformed from ruins into a prosperous business port .

If there was no such man, then the refugees who had lost their homes would not be able to rebuild the city, because they couldn’t even survive .

If not for him, perhaps she would have already been forcibly taken away by a bully as a plaything, or been competed for by powerful people as a rare collector’s item .

She watched the man’s figure for a long time, obsessed .

He was always so powerful, so stable, so reliable!

When faced with ruin, everyone else was full of desperation . He was like a fire, not only lighting up people’s hearts, but letting people who shivered in the cold have someone to rely on .

When monsters came one after another trying to take advantage of their tragedy, he was like a thunder who smashed them . The monsters either stumbled or fled, or became ghosts under the sword . In more than two months, he had battled more than a dozen times before he finally shocked all the bad guys, and protected the Gars City .

At a time when others forced her to abdicate at the ceremony and she was in a dilemma, he stepped forward, relieving her of pressure . Later he even convinced the great gods who even dispatched messengers to solve problems for her .

Unconsciously, Kasalie’s eyes had been completely attracted by the man . She stood fully in the doorway, staring at the man working at the desk, and naturally smiled .

“Oh! You are as beautiful today, as always!” an indecent voice awakened her . She turned and found that it was Steele, who did not take the cold seriously, and was dressed like summer .

She did not like this woman .

Not because of this woman’s amazing beauty, or because of this woman’s indecent manners, but because the woman was familiar with him, and was one of his few friends .

She let her enter the hall .

Steele walked in with a swagger and sat on his desk, completely ignoring the majesty of the governor, uncaring of whether or not Ray would be able to see her private areas . She even showed the white skin of her thigh by slightly lifting her skirt . The little purple lace of her underwear showed, tempting people to commit a crime .

“What are you here for?” said Ray, unmoved, continuing to look at the documents and not even lifting his head . “Every time you visit here you bring bad news . ”

Steele appeared to be hurt and sadly said, “Do you really think of me like this? Am I such a bad woman?”

“If you can be a little more decent, you may be able to restore my impression of you . ”

“Would you fall in love with me?”

“…I would hate you less . ”

Steele laughed and shook her breasts—intentionally or unintentionally—to tempt Ray .

Ray sighed deeply and put down the paper in his hands, “If you aren’t busy, why not go to work in the hospital? I believe the patients would be happy to see you . ”

“I just came for the things in the hospital,” Steele finally put on a serious look . “Recently, there have been a lot more injuries than before!”

A cold look flashed in Ray’s eyes . “Why?”

“The number of monsters on the other side of the Great Swamp has not increased significantly, but they have become stronger and more violent . ”

Ray said, “Is it that their Majesty finally couldn’t hold back any longer, and wants to make trouble?”

“Perhaps, but for the time being, there are no obvious traces . There is only this possibility . ”

Ray nodded his head and took out the pamphlet he used to record important matters and wrote it down .

No matter how good a person’s memory was, it was not better than the words written in books . As the Void Mask once said, “Good memory is worse than writing . ” Ray strongly agreed with this, and felt greatly enlightened, so he prepared such a booklet .

Sui Xiong also helped him to blacken the cover of the booklet, and drew a line of white runes on it .

There were nine strange symbols, five on the left and four on the right . The second symbol was the same as the last symbol . The fourth symbol was the same as the penultimate symbol .

“The black cover and these strange symbols do they have any special significance?” he asked .

Sui laughed and said nothing, but he looked very happy .

A lot of things had been recorded in this booklet, and each of them was very important . It was not known whether it was for fate or not, but almost everything had finally developed into a bloody conflict .

For example, the first thing recorded in the booklet was that the believers of the God of Fear flooded into Gars City . They seemed to want to do something bad, and it was required that everyone be careful .

The final result of the incident was that Ray chased them for hundreds of miles on a copper-crown dragon, and killed all of them .

The notebook, which now said, “Monsters in the Great Swamp Have Unusual Trends, It Is Needed to Organize People To Eliminate Them as Quickly As Possible,”would clearly have a similar development .

After finishing that, Steele left . Ray then turned his eyes to Kasalie, who had been at the door, and he looked puzzled .

“City Owner, do you have anything to command?”

Because he finally noticed her, she was happy, but she also sighed because he called her in an estranged way . Kasalie just smiled and shook her head, and said, “I have nothing to do . I just came to see you . You are so busy, you work so hard!”

“It’s nothing,” Ray said with a smile . “It’s not a lot of work, just few little public affairs . ”

But he immediately changed his tone and advised her . “City Owner; after all, I’m just an outsider . You’re the real owner of Gars City . I think you should learn more about government affairs, because it will be good for you in the future . ”

Kasalie felt even more depressed . “Aren’t you a good governor? Even if I don’t study government affairs, it would be okay to keep you in power . ”

Ray shook his head and said gently, “Although I am a knight, I am essentially a priest, and I am a chief priest of a church . After we have developed our church, I will be sure to govern that church and I cannot stay there in Gars City as a governor forever . ”

“Can’t we build the church here?” Kasalie asked . “We have a large population and convenient transportation . Isn’t it the best place to build a church?”

Ray was slightly convinced, and had to admit that she made a good point .

“I would propose this to His Majesty, but you have to know that a God’s ideas are different from normal people’s,” He said . “Perhaps it seems to you and me that the bustling Gars City is far more suitable for the establishment of a church than the bitter cold Ashes Wood, but the willingness of His Majesty is the key to everything . ”

Kasalie secretly sighed, and they chatted a bit before leaving .

Looking at the pearl pendant on her chest that she had just bought the day before from the Business Center of the Sea of Storm, she sighed deeply .

From the beginning to the end of their conversation, Ray never noticed it…
