Magical Strategist

After a short rest, the three continued on their journey...

Lingdie was not good at riding horses, so she had to ride on the same horse with Theresa. Suddenly, there was a willful princess in the team, and the atmosphere became lively. On the way, Zhenlong and Lingdie had quarrels. They spent half a day on horseback.

As the sun went down, we finally arrived at Lyme City. This is the only way to New Drina. As the second largest city in Lausanne, its prosperity is second only to the capital, Komorot.

Lausanne is now under the control of the Fortitude Alliance, so you can see Fortitude soldiers patrolling everywhere in key cities. If you find anyone suspicious, they will search their ID. Therefore, if you are not a member of Fortitude, you will be courting death if you want to wander around in Fortitude's territory. You must know that Fortitude has only one outcome for "aliens": kill without mercy!

As night fell, the three of them walked into the city. But this bustling city had no hint of darkness at all. The city center was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Lingdie suggested going to the city to stroll around and buy some delicious and fun things, but Zhenlong flatly refused. In the end, he could only pout and sulk.

It was getting late, so we had to find a place to sleep. But there was a problem. We had to register to stay at the hotel, but they didn't have any ID. The three of us stood at the door of the hotel for a long time, looking at each other.

"Street artist, aren't you very smart? Tell me what to do now. This princess doesn't want to sleep in the open air. I want to sleep in a soft big bed! You decide. If you don't give me a comfortable bed, I will deduct it from your salary." Ling Die pouted and said angrily. Just now, the real dragon didn't approve of her going shopping on the street, but now, she didn't even have a place to sleep. It was really unfair for her delicate status.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me a performer! If you keep nagging, I'll hand you over to Gangyi. Anyway, there are plenty of soft beds for you to sleep on in Galisis." Zhenlong was fed up with Lingdie's nagging along the way. He was so angry that he couldn't control himself and spoke in a louder voice.

After hearing this, Lingdie's face changed drastically and she said anxiously: "You! You! How dare you!!! I am the princess of Lausanne!"

"What is there to be afraid of? At worst, I won't take the reward. Also, don't use your status to pressure me in the future." Zhenlong replied coldly, not caring about Ling Die's feelings at all.

How could Lingdie stand the verbal attack from Zhenlong? Her eyes suddenly turned red and she cried, "Wuwuwuwu, you stinky street performer, if you have the guts go find Gangyi to settle the score, you only know how to bully me, wuwuwu..."

The situation got out of control, and Teresa had to step out and say, "What's wrong with you, brother Long? Why are you so angry? After all, Xiaodie is a girl, why hurt her self-esteem?" After criticizing Zhenlong, she comforted him, "Xiaodie, don't cry, he is not good at talking, don't bother with him... Isn't there Sister Sha here, no one dares to touch you."

"Sister Sha is still the best! Humph, you are nothing like a stinking performer. Not only are you weak in ability, but you also have a bad character. You will be a performer all your life, humph!" Ling Die did not forget to criticize Zhenlong.

"It doesn't matter what you say. Please remember, from now on, don't act like a delicate girl. I don't like it." Zhenlong said.

"So what if I'm just a bit spoiled?" Ling Die responded without showing any weakness.

"Then make a living on your own and don't follow me," said the real dragon.

"You're driving me away?"

"If you want to understand it that way, I don't mind." Zhenlong said.

Teresa naturally didn't want the two of them to chatter on, so she said to Zhenlong seriously, "Along, if you don't have this much tolerance, don't call me Sister Sha anymore."

Sister Sha, who was always gentle, got angry, and Zhenlong had to understand, so he told her his true thoughts: "Sister Sha, you should know our situation. If we were traveling now, I could meet any request, but we are on the run! If she continues to be so spoiled, she will get into trouble sooner or later."

"I know, but you should at least pay attention to your attitude," said Teresa.

Zhenlong glanced back at Lingdie and said, "If she doesn't change her "princess temper", I will always have this attitude."

"Why should I change? Who are you and why do you order me around?" Ling Die said.

Just as they were arguing, a team of patrolling guards came quickly towards the dragon.

"What are you three yelling about in the middle of the night? Stop!"

Don't think about it. There is only one way to deal with soldiers checking you here, and that is to run!

The three of them ran into the crowd and disappeared.

The guards were at a loss as to what to do and did not rush to chase after them, as this kind of situation happened so frequently that they were not surprised.

"Damn it, it runs faster than a mouse."

"Are you still chasing?"

"Why are you chasing them? Aren't you tired of interrogating them all day long? They don't look like spies from Middle-earth. Never mind. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let them go."

"But the 'Flame Girl' just said yesterday that anyone suspected of something must be arrested. What if we let them go and get blamed?"

"You know nothing. She is not interested in these minor characters. Her target is serious criminals like Lieyan, Leidi, and Soul Eater. Do you understand?"

"That's true. But then again, our 'Knights Templar' is the second largest knight order in the Fortitude Alliance. It is full of experts, and there are more than a dozen strong men who have broken through the golden fighting spirit. Why did the leader let Yannv be the leader? It makes us, the grown men, bow and scrape to a woman. It really makes us uncomfortable."

"What's there to be uncomfortable about? That woman is not ordinary. She can kill you with just a flick of her finger. Besides, Yannu is a talent highly recommended by Shimizu Ichiro. The leader of the alliance also values ​​her very much, so he made her the leader. I heard that she is the daughter of a noble family."

"Wow, that sounds awesome."

"Stop talking nonsense and continue patrolling!"

…………

After getting rid of the pursuers, the three of them squeezed into the crowd and walked aimlessly. The night in Lyme City was as lively as the day. Although it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, the number of pedestrians on the road remained the same.

"Sister Sha, I'm so sleepy and want to sleep." Lingdie yawned and said weakly.

"Just hold on a little longer. Aaron and I are thinking of a solution. Don't worry, we won't let you sleep outdoors." Teresa comforted her.

"Okay, can you come up with a solution quickly? I'm really sleepy and can hardly open my eyes. I haven't slept for several days." Ling Die said aggrievedly.

"Can you stop making noise? Do you want to attract the pursuers?" Zhenlong said impatiently.

"You stinky street performer, stop being unreasonable. Can you blame me for what happened just now?" Ling Die responded sharply.

"Who is unreasonable?"

"Cough... cough..." The two of them would quarrel after less than three sentences. Teresa coughed twice and then changed the subject: "Brother Long, have you thought of any solution?"

"No." Zhenlong deliberately raised his voice.

Teresa sighed. In fact, she also wanted to have a big, soft bed and sleep comfortably.

The three of them fell silent...

When... when... when...

At this time, a loud bell sounded from somewhere, striking ten times in a row. The pleasant sound echoed for a long time before fading away. Then, a faint "Ya Ya Ya" singing could be heard not far away.

Most people would think that this was another drama performance, but Teresa, a nun, could tell at once that it was not an ordinary song, but a hymn!

"That's great. We don't have to sleep outside tonight!" Teresa said suddenly excitedly.

"Sister Sha, what good idea have you come up with?" Ling Die asked immediately.

"Did you hear the singing? That's a hymn! I conclude that there must be a monastery nearby. We can stay in the monastery tonight! No matter what type of monastery it is, it will not reject poor people in need of help." said Teresa.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Ling Die became excited and walked quickly towards the singing sound.

"Wait!" The real dragon frowned and suddenly said, "Is the monastery here safe? Will it ask us to show some documents like other hotels?"

"This..." Teresa thought for a moment, her eyes rolled slightly, and she replied, "It's okay, I will communicate with them."

"Haha, since Sister Sha said so, let's go." Zhenlong said with a smile.

After walking for about five minutes, a magnificent monastery appeared before our eyes.

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the monastery and looked inside through a tall iron door. They saw many nuns gathered in the hall, singing hymns with great concentration.

Theresa was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, and prayed silently. After a while, she said, "Brother Long, Xiaodie, you two wait outside. I'll be back soon."

Zhenlong nodded in agreement. Because Sister Sha was a nun, it should be easier for nuns to communicate with each other.

About ten minutes later, Teresa came back, and behind her was a slightly older middle-aged nun, who should be the head nun of this monastery.

The middle-aged nun smiled and invited Zhenlong into the monastery. She did not ask Zhenlong and Lingdie to show any ID, and did not even ask their names. She just kept emphasizing, "The Heavenly Father will not reject those who need help." Finally, she arranged two rooms, said "good night" and left.
