Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Holding the potion, Lisa walked to a dark green tent. The curtain at the entrance of the tent was hung, and she could see the long-haired magician lying on a wooden box with his back to her.

Instead of going directly into the tent, Lisa stood outside the door and asked, "Thank you, can I come in?"

"Of course, please come in." Xie Wei put down the things in his hands and turned to look at the demi-human girl outside the tent. "What's the matter?"

"The leader asked me to bring you the recovery potion. He also told me to tell you that you must rest immediately after drinking the potion, because you magicians will be very busy in the next few days."

"Yes, I will."

After handing the potion to Shevi, Lisa did not leave, but sat down next to the wooden box that Shevi used as a table with ease.

The demihuman girl with orange cat ears and a tail of the same color rested her chin on her hand as she looked at what Xie Wei had placed on the box, and then spoke.

"Are you making magic props? I've never seen this kind of material before."

There are four square white stones placed on the wooden box, and a round stone with a hole in the middle. There are flowing golden lines on each stone.

In addition to these stones, there were several braided ropes on the box.

Xie Wei held the glass tube of the potion and drank the potion in one gulp. It had a strange taste but could quickly restore one's magic power. Then he took the cup and drank three cups of water and ate a piece of candy. Only then did he have time to pay attention to Lisa.

Handing the bag of candies to Lisa, Shevi sat back in his previous seat and explained.

"These are made from the falling [shooting stars] from the floating island. The four square ones are called Wu Shi Pai, and the round one is Ping An Kou. They are a kind of decoration worn on the body. Well... in my hometown, they have some good meanings. Wu Shi Pai means [no disasters and troubles], and Ping An Kou means [peace and perfection]."

The demi-human girl's focus is not on these meanings, but on the materials used to carry these meanings.

"A fragment of the ruins of the floating island? To make an ornament?? No wonder they all say behind your back that you are a young master who came out to ask for trouble. Do you know how much this thing can be sold for? If I can get a piece of that relic fragment the size of a No Matter Card, I can just retire right here, go back to my hometown, find a partner and live a happy life."

After saying this, Lisa lowered her voice as she looked at the black-haired magician's handsome but memory-free face.

"Hasn't anyone told you that wealth should not be exposed? Although there are no bad people in our mercenary group, the human heart is a terrible thing. Do you understand?"

The demi-human girl's face still showed some childishness. She was in her early twenties, but she was already worried about her partner.

There are only four magicians in the Akabane Mercenary Group, and the magicians are unable to deal with close combat, so each magician is protected by one or several mercenaries of other professions.

Xie Wei was wearing high-level protective gear, and after Irel's devilish training, he had become very proficient in using defensive magic, so he only had Lisa as his swordsman partner.

"I know. If someone else had come to see me just now, I wouldn't have put them on the wooden box." Xie Wei nodded with a smile.

Lisa's tail unconsciously bent forward slightly. She held the candy given by Xie Wei and tried to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth. After a long while, she stood up and stretched, and said as she walked out of the tent.

"Thank you for your trust. I'm leaving now. Go and have a rest."

After Lisa left, Xie Wei lowered the door curtain, set up the ban, then turned and walked to the wooden box. The moment he raised his hand, he replaced the wooden box with a long table and comfortable chairs.

In the tent, Xie Wei put the written letter and the Nothing to Do card into the box on the familiar.

The familiar standing on the table looks like a golden eagle, but its feathers are gray.

This is the artificial familiar made by Mason. As long as it is given enough magic crystals, it can fly non-stop and deliver letters and lighter items to the person designated by the master at the fastest speed.

At around one in the morning, Xie Wei used magic to hide his body and took his familiar out of his tent and walked out of the village.

Standing beside the destroyed wheat field, Xie Wei watched the familiar fly towards the direction of the Hasedon Empire. Only when the familiar disappeared into the night sky did he turn his gaze to the pitch-black wheat field under the moonlight.

Although the fire lizards attacking the village were only level 2 monsters, there were more than fifty of them at once. This was simply not something the knights left behind in this small village could handle. Even if all the villagers joined in, they would not be able to repel them.

Salamanders are called fire lizards because they can spit out flames. It should be noted that when anything is burned by their flames, the smoke left behind will produce toxins like miasma.

Whether it is humans or other races, their bodies will become worse and worse under the erosion of this toxin.

Plants and crops may not be able to grow after being affected by miasma, and even if they can grow, they will contain deadly toxins.

"It will take at least three years for these farmlands to decompose these toxins, which means that these farmlands will be useless within three years." Dagambi covered his eyes. As a Paraso, he couldn't bear to see the farmlands being destroyed.

"Three years. How are they going to survive when they can't harvest food?"

"If we can't get rid of the miasma and purify the soil, many people will become slaves in a few months."

"Then how can we get rid of the miasma and purify the soil?"

"I don't know, Shevi. There is a priest in the village. Maybe the priest knows something."

Xie Wei was sitting on a rock at the edge of a field, chatting with Dagambie. As soon as they talked about the priest, they noticed someone approaching them.

"Master Magician, why are you here so late?" Holding a thick holy book, the white-haired priest Drino walked slowly to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei looked at the priest and then glanced at Dagumbi calmly, then he stood up and said.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk."

"So that's how it is." After listening to Xie Wei's words, Drino didn't ask any more questions. He sighed, "I can't sleep either. The villagers' fields and crops have been destroyed, and I can't help much. Apart from saying some comforting words and getting rid of some miasma in the village, there's nothing else I can do..."

Get rid of the miasma? Xie Wei grasped the key words, and Dagambi stood on his shoulder and urged him to ask the priest how to get rid of the miasma.

Magic such as removing miasma and purifying the soil belongs to the magic of light, which Xie Wei has never learned.

There was no light magic in the magic book that Ilodi gave him. She only taught Xie Wei basic healing magic and several detoxification magics...

Without beating around the bush, Xie Wei asked directly:

"Reverend, how do we get rid of the miasma? Do you know how to purify the soil?"

Delino didn't expect Shevi to ask this. Normally, priests would not answer such questions, but he somehow opened the bible and turned to a certain page. He used the crystal lamp in his hand to illuminate the text on the bible and said very gently:

"You can take a look at this. This kind of magic is not goddess magic, but ordinary magic. Although it is more difficult than other common magic, as long as you have affinity with the magic element of light, you can use this magic. However... this kind of magic is usually used by priests or other clergy..."

Strangely, he couldn't refuse the young magician. Drino had a feeling that no matter what the magician asked of him, he might find it difficult to refuse him.

Xie Wei looked at the magic recorded in the holy book carefully, then raised his hand and tried it.

……

The next morning, Xie Wei failed to get up at six o'clock. He slept so soundly in Sal's plush cloak that he could not even hear the noise outside the tent.

"There is a piece of farmland outside the village that has been restored."

"Really?!"

"Really? If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

"With so many fields, what can we do if we only restore such a small piece?"

"Oh, stop complaining. Maybe some fields will be repaired tomorrow?"

Outside Xie Wei's tent, Lisa was sitting not far away as usual, keeping an eye on the situation in Xie Wei's tent.

She discovered something very strange: Mr. Drino, the village pastor, had pretended to pass by Xie's tent twenty times.
