After digging for a long time, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, felt a little hot, so he took off his coat and put it on the high platform.

"There's no shovel or anything, my back is so sore..."

He slowly got up, supporting his back, intending to find some vines nearby and make a simple shovel using the broken pole and wooden shield.

If he returns to Whitestone Town, the bodies of Kaz and the others might be eaten by monsters, so they have no choice but to use what they have on hand.

Not long after Lot left, another storm swept across the grasslands.

Eleanor arrived here with Chloris.

Chloris saw the bloodstains on the platform. Before the undead fox could even come to a stop, she flipped over and jumped to the ground, then quickly ran up to the platform.

She saw the corpses of Katz and the others, and she saw Lotte's coat.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Chloris searched for Lott's whereabouts, but found nothing.

She became increasingly anxious, and what started as a slow search eventually turned into a brisk jog.

But there was nothing around her; only a cold, lifeless corpse answered her.

Eleanor spoke up, "Miss Chloris, please don't be sad."

"He was eaten by a monster, wasn't he?" Chloris asked Eleanor, her eyes red. "He's the only one not here. Was he eaten by a monster?"

"It's very likely so."

Chloris picked up Lotte's clothes from the ground, letting the wind ruffle her bangs.

The undead fox was the first to notice the anomaly. It shook its head slightly and then looked to its right, and Eleanor followed suit.

"Miss Chloris."

Chloris didn't move; she gripped her spear tightly and kept staring at Lotte's coat.

She remembered wearing this coat before entering the tavern in Whitestone.

"Miss Chloris, the person you're looking for is still alive."

Chloris hurriedly looked up and turned around to see a man carrying a strange hoe.

That was Lotte, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

"Hmm?" Lott raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "What brings you here? Chloris, you're here to lend me a hand. I don't know how long I'd have to dig by myself..."

A glistening tear streaked through the air, and the girl's light golden ponytail left a trail of afterimages as she ran.

Chloris leaped to Lotte's side in a few steps and hugged him tightly.

Her hot breath fell on Lotte's neck, and her rapid heartbeat pounded against Lotte's chest.

"That was...it scared me to death...I thought you'd been eaten!"

"Me? You thought something had happened to me?"

"If you ever dare to leave me alone on a mission again, I'll never talk to you again."

Chloris pulled away from Lotte's embrace and wiped the tears from her face with her wrist. "Did you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it."

Lott then looked at Eleanor behind Chloris.

When he saw the undead fox beneath Eleanor, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Chapter 43 The Strange Logic Holds True

Undead summoning magic?

The principles of this spell were explained in "Los Wessin's Basic Arcane Arts". The proficiency level of this spell is tied to the summoned creature; the higher the evolution level of the summoned creature, the higher the proficiency level, and the stronger the power.

Although Lotte didn't get any magic from Kaz, he unexpectedly found Eleanor's necromancy, so his trip wasn't a complete waste.

At the current rate of analysis, it should only take a few days to learn it.

Eleanor noticed something strange in Lott's eyes and pressed him for an answer: "What's wrong?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Do you know Miss Chloris?"

"My family asked me to come and help."

"Your parents?"

Chloris was still emotional. She fanned the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and continued to sob as she said, "She was a beautiful girl with blue eyes."

blue eyes.

Pretty girl.

Lotte immediately thought of Isolde.

No way? Isn't she from the Valgard family? She's clearly on the far northern border!

Chloris noticed the change in Lotte's expression; she frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Eleanor looked around but found no trace of any monsters, so she said, "The danger is over now. I need to go back and report to my master. Would you like to come along?"

"No need, I haven't finished digging yet."

Eleanor nodded and looked at Lotte. "What's your name? I'll be able to report back to my master."

His name is...

Lott stepped forward and tightly covered Chloris's mouth, then said to Eleanor, "Do you really have to ask her name?"

"Hmm? No need for that."

Eleanor didn't delve into it further; she didn't think there could be any connection between the country bumpkin Lot and the eldest daughter of the Valgard family. Isolde should care about Chloris, not the man before her.

“Miss Chloris,” Eleanor turned and looked back at Chloris, “My master is leaving for the capital tonight. If fate allows, we may meet again someday. She said she will be waiting for you in the capital.”

After saying this, Eleanor rode the undead fox beneath her and left, disappearing into the vast grasslands.

Lotte, still holding Chloris's mouth, stood there, and the two of them fell into deep thought.

Lott had a strong feeling that the person was Isolde. Had she already discovered her own identity, and was approaching Chloris in order to get closer to him?

Chloris kept connecting all the clues in her mind.

She didn't know the blue-eyed girl, but the other girl seemed to care about her a lot and asked her about things like love when they first met.

The fact that Lotte's expression changed noticeably after hearing the other person's description, and that he was unwilling to mention his name, suggests that the two people likely know each other.

If that's the case...

Chloris guessed that the other party knew her name probably because Lott had once told her, "I've recently teamed up with a girl named Chloris who has amber eyes."

After learning of Lott's accident, the other party offered to help him, seemingly to help him, but in reality, to help Lott!

At the same time, the reason why Lotte was able to learn meditation and why he progressed so quickly was because he secretly received help from that blue-eyed girl.

Chloris then recalled that when she first met Lotte, Lotte asked her if she knew the Valgard family, who used swords.

Could it be... could it be that the blue-eyed nobleman is a member of the Valgard family? Was Lotte actually testing him?

It seems like everything has been sorted out...

Chloris continued to speculate that either the other party was Lotte's older or younger sister, who had come to assess whether she was qualified to be Lotte's fiancée.

But Lott clearly doesn't resemble the other person; they don't seem like relatives.

Or...

Either that person is Lotte's lover, or she likes Lotte and sees herself as a rival!

Is that really the case?

Chloris felt she was being a bit far-fetched, but then everything seemed strangely reasonable.

However, there was also the possibility of them being friends, which Chloris couldn't figure out for the moment, and she was too embarrassed to ask Lotte.

Lotte and Chloris remained in that position, standing in the moonlight for a long time.

It wasn't until Chloris's mouth was almost red from being covered by Lotte's hand that Chloris realized what was happening and began to struggle and whimper.

Chloris wiped her mouth and glared at Lotte.

Meanwhile, Lotte was still concerned about Isolde, "Chloris, is that blue-eyed girl powerful? What kind of expression does she have on her face?"

"I don't see anything particularly impressive about her, and she doesn't show any emotion. She's just beautiful, very beautiful. She's probably around the same age as us."
