Chapter 147 (2/2)

“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…
