In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

But in Lapland's eyes, there were only two groups of people on their side.

Ms. Maria, and everyone else besides her.

This kind of personality led to Laplande not obeying Cellinina's orders, and sometimes even opposing her just for the sake of opposing her.

Although every mission was completed in the end, the repeated rebellions made Celinina feel helpless.

But now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time and see what happens...

……

The two people who completed the task returned home quickly.

At this time, they were living in an area inside the Gray Hall.

Now, more than three years have passed since the occurrence of the largest but smallest magnitude "earthquake" since the founding of Syracuse.

During these three years, Volsinia... or rather the whole of Syracuse, underwent earth-shaking changes.

The most obvious one is the emergence of the Gray Hall.

Although the Grey Hall was established more than 50 years ago, the public has only truly known and felt its existence in the past three years.

Starting with the rescue and construction of the Volsiny, people found that more and more gray halls appeared in Syracuse.

Along with this rise came the emergence of courts in which Lateran judges served temporarily.

They encountered many unusual problems in the first six months, but as time went by, the legal system became more and more perfect, and everyone truly realized one thing.

The era of family is about to become a thing of the past.

Naturally, the family disagrees with this situation.

But obviously, the current situation is no longer under their control.

The events of Volsiny made everyone realize that the family might not be their only option, and the Grey Hall could better protect their safety.

More and more people choose to attach themselves to the Gray Hall and exclude the family.

Although some families still survived in Syracuse, it was obvious that they had lost the authority they once had.

But there are exceptions...

The Bellone family, once a member of the Twelve Families, had become the local tyrants of Volsiny after the incident, shouldering the bulk of the repair work. Furthermore, given the heavy losses suffered by all, they reduced their taxes... After the rise of Grey Hall, they assumed the responsibility of mayor of Volsiny and the surrounding territories.

The other one is Saluzzo.

Saluzzo is also an old family in Syracuse. In this incident, they, like the Texas family, are the group that contributed the most. At the first moment, they mobilized a large amount of medical and food supplies and sent them to Volsini at a speed that no one could imagine.

This earned them a lot of reputation in Syracuse.

The Saluzzo family also had another great opportunity.

As for the Texas family... they are still the same as before, with their main base in Colombia, and rarely interfere in the affairs of Syracuse.

As for some other scattered small families, they each play important roles in their own territories.

Although it doesn't look much different from before, but... now there is a sharp blade hanging over their heads.

Night watchman.

This was a better-sounding name chosen by the judges of the Grey Hall after they faced the world.

After all, the title of Judge sounds like it involves killing, but the title of Night's Watch is more about guarding and protecting.

The others were unaware of the relationship within the Night's Watch, but they did know that the leader of the Night's Watch was a powerful and charming woman...

Rumor has it that the lady is a three-meter-tall blood demon with a devilish face. One look at her will make people addicted, and just being touched by her will make them completely submit to her... Even the hardest stone will bloom under her gaze.

Although everyone knew that this was definitely an exaggeration, they also knew that it was impossible for the infamous Sarkaz blood demon to appear next to Father Agnier with Sakota.

But it is such rumors that make them even more curious about it.

What is this mysterious woman doing at this moment?

She is reading a book...

"Are you back?"

Maria, as the leader of the Night's Watch and one of the invisible founders of the Grey Hall, also has her own independent office for some unspeakable reasons imposed by Father Agnel.

It covers an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. On one side is a wall covered with paintings, and on the other side are beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows that allow her to see the entire city.

At the end of the door, Maria was sitting behind a beautiful stoneware table, with bookshelves piled on both sides and behind her.

These are not for decoration, but what Maria actually read... and this is only a small part of it.

According to the two little ones, Maria had cleared out her room and used it to store the books she had read and annotated.

Such a strong and knowledgeable character made a deep impression on the two girls.

So when they met Maria, in addition to awe for the teacher, they also had admiration for the excellence.

Although the two girls had suppressed their voices to the utmost, Maria, who was an expert in hunting, could detect clues even from the slightest change in the airflow.

The two girls were well prepared for Maria's sharpness.

Cellinina took out the sign and placed it on the table in front of Maria.

After examining it for a while, Maria also frowned slightly.

She cut her index finger with her thumbnail and placed a drop of blood on the blurry photo.

But just after her blood dripped on it, the photo suddenly caught fire.

"Rotisch..."

Maria squinted her eyes and murmured.

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing."

Although the two little ones' abilities have made great progress under her command, Maria still does not want them to participate in her war.

She just squinted her eyes, thought for a while, and then threw the photo, which had lost its power, aside.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Ever since she defeated Rotish, some strange things have begun to circulate within Volsini.

They are normally harmless, but when activated under certain conditions, they grant their possessor strange abilities.

Maria initially thought it was some characteristic of this world.

But once she checked and found that it was attached with the aura of Rotish, she became alert.

But unfortunately, perhaps because he was beaten too badly by Maria, Maria still cannot sense the other party's specific location until now. She can only determine that the other party is still in Volsini based on her own ability.

It was also for this reason that Maria did not leave.

This also created a strange sight. Every Volsinian noticed that on the day of a total lunar eclipse, a warm, fluorescent white moon would rise in Volsinia...

This is also a symbol that Maria still controls the Volsiny domain.

After thinking for a moment, Maria looked at the report submitted by Cellinina and nodded slightly.

"You did great...girl."

"Ok!"

Although they were full of awe for Maria's existence, they also felt particularly excited and encouraged after receiving Maria's praise.

Especially Cellinina, who was praised by Maria directly, had a red face and looked shy and embarrassed.

But Maria's next words made her look a little embarrassed.

"I would be more satisfied if you could remember not to smoke..."

"Uh... um..."

Lappland on the side snorted and turned his head away.

But his eyes kept looking at Maria.

"You're also very good, Lappland... Of course, it would be better if you could stay uninjured next time."

"I know~"

Lappland was also a little helpless. She carefully hid her wounds like a child who had done something wrong.

This anomaly could not escape Maria's eyes.

Three years have allowed several people to develop extremely complex relationships with each other.

At least, from Cellinina's perspective, she is Ms. Maria's well-behaved and sensible student, and Lapland is an awkward problem student who wants Ms. Maria's attention but always causes problems.

As for Ms. Maria... it's more complicated. Sometimes she would be like a strict father, constantly forcing the two people to rush towards her, even at the cost of their lives.

But sometimes, she is like a gentle mother who will hug you without saying a word and warm you with her gentle body and mind.

This made it difficult for Cellinina to describe her feelings when she saw Ms. Maria.

She was afraid of the other person's harshness, but also longed for the warmth that she rarely experienced.

Cellinina glanced at Lappland, who was grumbling, and shook her head helplessly.

"If there's nothing else, Ms. Maria, we'll leave first."

As she spoke, she was about to pull Lappland aside to retreat.

But Maria suddenly raised her hand at this moment.

"Wait a moment."

"Ok?"

Celinina looked back in confusion.

Maria accurately pulled out an envelope from a pile of documents and handed it to her.

"This is……"

"It's from the Texas family. They said something's going on and they hope you can go back soon."

Maria's voice was as calm and cold as ever.

This made Cellinina feel a little relieved.

After thinking for a while, she didn't avoid anything and opened the envelope in front of the two people so that everyone could read the words on it.

As the fluent and gorgeous words slowly unfolded from the pages, everyone's expressions began to change to varying degrees...

……

"So... you're planning on going back this month?"

Walking on the street, Lappland worked tirelessly to carry supplies for Celinina while asking curiously.

"Yeah." Celinina nodded slightly, her expression a little complicated.

This is already the third day.

Ever since she received the letter about her hometown from Ms. Maria that night, Cellinina has been looking uneasy.

Yesterday, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Maria for permission to go home for a month.

This surprised Lappland.

In his impression, even Cellinina herself admitted how hardworking she was.

Even I have to take leave sometimes due to various family matters and temporarily stop my work as a night watchman.

But as the eldest daughter of a Texas family of the same size, Cellinina seemed to have completely forgotten her own family. She never took a single day off on weekdays. She was either at work or training with Maria.

She maintained this high-intensity life for three years without wavering.

Now you have to go back just because of a letter?

This made Lappland a little surprised.

So after careful consideration, she chose to leave with the other party.

Of course, the arrogant Lappland would definitely not say that this was her idea, but the understanding Maria took the initiative to ask the two to go together.

As for the reason... what else does Ms. Maria need?!

Just do it yourself!
