Banner of the Evil God

"Mirror, mirror, who is the cutest woman in the world?"

The tall floor-length mirror was motionless and made no sound.

Of course, it was just an ordinary silver plate. Even though it was expensive, it was not even a magic prop. How could it answer?

If it really answered "Beautiful lady, you are the cutest woman in the world!", Kashali would be scared out of her wits and run away.

She stared at the mirror. The girl in the mirror was young and beautiful. Her carefully matched clothes and appropriate makeup made her even more beautiful and charming, especially the pearl pendant hanging on her chest, which was reflected by her ivory-white skin, exuding an intoxicating charm. Even the maid next to her often lost her mind when she saw her smile.

But at this moment, the person in the mirror looked very melancholy.

Women dress to please themselves. Women try hard to dress up, mostly to make their lovers happy. When her mother was still alive, she once told her that a woman's beauty is like a flower, and she should not bloom in front of outsiders casually.

At that time, she didn't understand this, nor could she understand why her mother seemed so happy every time her father came back from going out.

Now she understood.

However...

She sighed deeply, and the person in the mirror sighed with her. Her beautiful face was full of sorrow, which made the maids beside her feel distressed.

"Mother, what can I do to make him happy?"

The person in the mirror couldn't answer, and the maids couldn't answer either. The most famous beauty on the East Coast returned to the dressing table melancholy, with confusion in her eyes.

"Father, you once said that the best man is the one who is not intoxicated by my beauty and just likes me as a person. Now I have met a man who is not intoxicated by my beauty at all, but what can I do to make him like me?"

She was depressed for a long time, and finally cheered up, finished all the makeup, and went out with the maid.

"Miss Kashali, good morning."

"Miss Kashali, are you going out?"

Along the way, servants and officials greeted her or said hello, and she responded one by one. Whenever she responded to someone, that person would instantly become energetic. Especially those young men, they were full of energy, just like they had drunk a stimulant.

When she walked past the door of the government office, she stopped and looked inside.

The tall and handsome figure, as reliable as a mountain, who could withstand storms and tsunamis, was indeed sitting in front of the desk. There were already a lot of documents piled up on the desk, all of which needed to be handled by him.

This man was always busy. When Gars City was in ruins before, he ran around construction sites everywhere, taking the lead in doing things, and even dived into the seabed of Gars Port in person to move out the large pieces of rubble that prevented ships from berthing. Later, Gars City slowly revived, and he was busy with documents all day, dealing with official business that would never be finished. He also had to take time out to try major cases, negotiate with various forces, and sometimes lead a team in person to eliminate powerful monsters that had fled from the wilderness to the vicinity of Gars City.

It was because of his leadership that the city of Gars was able to transform from a dilapidated ruin into a prosperous commercial port in just two years.

If it weren't for him, the refugees who had lost their homes would have had trouble surviving, let alone rebuilding the city.

If it weren't for him, she might have been abducted by some powerful person and become a plaything in the inner room, or fought over by powerful people and became a rare collection...

She looked at the man's figure infatuatedly, her eyes full of intoxication.

He is always so strong, so steady, and so reliable!

When facing a ruin, everyone was full of despair. He was like a bonfire, not only illuminating people's hearts, but also giving people who were shivering in the early spring and winter a place to rely on.

When all kinds of monsters and demons came one after another, wanting to suck the bones and marrow from the unprotected Gars people, he was like a ball of thunder, blasting those bad guys to the ground, either fleeing in embarrassment or becoming dead souls under the sword. In more than two months, he fought more than ten times, and finally frightened all those guys with bad intentions and defended Gars.

When she was forced to abdicate at the celebration and was in a dilemma, he stood up and blocked her in front of her to block the pressure. Later, he persuaded the great gods to send messengers to help her solve her problems.

...

Unconsciously, Kashali's eyes were completely attracted by that person. She stood at the door blankly, staring at the person who was working at the desk, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh! You are still beautiful today!" A voice that was simply indecent from the bones woke her up. She turned around and saw that it was Steele who didn't take the cold seriously and dressed like summer.

She didn't like this woman.

It was not because of this woman's amazing beauty, nor because of this woman's indecent style, but because this woman was very familiar with him and was one of his very few friends.

She stepped aside and let Steele in.

Steel walked in with a swagger, completely ignoring the majesty of the Archon, and sat directly on his desk, not caring whether he could see her skirt clearly at such a close distance. She even lifted her skirt a little, and at the end of her black stockings, she was exposed to dazzling white skin, and the purple lace of her underwear was just right, which was simply tempting.

"What's the matter?" Lei was unmoved and continued to look at the documents without even raising his head. "You don't come here for no reason, but you're here for no good."

Steel immediately showed a hurt expression and said sadly: "Is that how you see me? Am I such a bad woman?"

"If you can be a little more serious, maybe you can save some of your image in my heart."

"Will you fall in love with me then?"

"...I will reduce the number of times I write your name on the target."

Steel laughed loudly, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, her body trembled, and a part that made Kashali resentful shook violently, rippling white waves that almost turned men into hungry wolves.

Lei sighed deeply and put down the documents in his hand: "If you are free, why don't you go to the hospital to work? I believe the patients will be happy to see you."

"I came here for the hospital." Steele finally changed his serious expression, "Recently, there are a lot more injured adventurers than before!"

A cold light flashed in Lei's eyes: "What's the reason?"

"The monsters in the Great Swamp have not only increased in number, but also become stronger and more violent."

Lei narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that His Majesty finally couldn't hold back and wanted to do something?"

"Maybe, but there are no obvious signs for the time being, so I can only say that there is this possibility."

Lei nodded, took out the booklet he used to record important matters, and wrote this down.

No matter how good a person's memory is, it is not as good as the words written in a book. His Majesty the Void Mask once said, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." Lei deeply agreed with this and felt greatly inspired, so he prepared such a booklet.

Sui Xiong also helped him paint the cover of the booklet black 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, and the fourth symbol was the same as the second to last symbol.

"The black cover and these strange symbols... do they have any special meaning?" he asked at the time.

Sui Xiong smiled but didn't say anything, just looking very happy.

There are already many things recorded in this booklet, each of which is very important, and I don't know if it's fate that almost every thing has developed into a bloody conflict in the end.

For example, the first thing recorded in the booklet is that the believers of the God of Fear poured into the city of Gars in large numbers, and seemed to want to do something bad, so be careful.

The final result of that incident was that Lei rode the copper-crowned flying dragon to chase them for hundreds of miles and killed all the believers of the God of Fear, leaving no one behind.

Now it is recorded that "the monsters in the Great Swamp have abnormal movements and need to organize people to clear them as soon as possible", which will obviously develop in this way.

After finishing the work, Steele shook his body and left with a sinister pace. Lei turned his eyes to Kashali who had been at the door, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"City Lord, do you have anything to tell me?"

Kashali, who was happy that he finally noticed her, secretly sighed because of his distant address, forced a smile on her face, shook her head and said: "I don't have anything to do, I just came to see you... You are so busy, it's really hard!"

"Hard? It's nothing." Lei said with a smile, "It's just a little official business, it's not hard."

But he immediately changed the subject and advised: "City Lord, I am just an outsider after all, and you are the real master of Gars City. I think you should learn more about government affairs, which will be of great benefit to your future governance."

Kashali was in a better mood "Aren't you a good archon? Even if I don't study government affairs, it's okay to let you govern all the time."

Lei shook his head and said gently: "Although I am a knight, I am essentially a clergyman, and I am also a high priest of a church. When our church develops, I will definitely sit in the temple. It is impossible for me to stay in Gars City as an archon."

"Then can't the temple be built here?" Kashali asked, "We have a large population here and convenient transportation. Isn't it the most suitable place to build a temple?"

Lei was slightly moved and had to admit that what she said made sense.

"I will make suggestions to your majesty, but you must know that the ideas of gods are different from those of mortals." He said, "Perhaps in your opinion, the prosperous Gars City is far more suitable for building a temple than the bitter and cold Ash Forest, but your majesty's wishes are the key to everything."

Kashali sighed secretly, exchanged greetings again, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the pearl pendant on her chest that she had just bought from the Storm Sea Trading House yesterday, she sighed deeply.

From beginning to end, Lei didn't even notice it...

After lunch, manually updated...
