Juliet nodded after hearing this, unsurprised.

This young man in front of me has always been soft-hearted. Didn't he rescue her, this ghost, from the hands of the samman back then?

"go Go."

Juliet waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm a dead man, and the one thing I have plenty of is patience."

I've heard that the Adventurers' Guild, in conjunction with various towns, has begun a manhunt for Romeo.

I'll just wait and see; clues will eventually emerge.

She paused, then added:

"Don't worry about what you're doing. Phyllis will come over occasionally to chat with me and tell me about the latest happenings in the city, so I'm not bored."

Moreover, recently, as I have transformed, there seem to be quite a few more wandering ghosts around me.

"Next time you come, remember to bring me a deck of Thorne cards; it'll help pass the time."

Otto smiled and accepted the promise.

The two chatted for a few more minutes about their recent lives, but Juliet's gaze inadvertently drifted back to Otto.

Chapter 134 Misunderstanding? (First update, please subscribe)

The moment their eyes met, Juliet abruptly stopped.

She looked at Otto, who was dressed in casual clothes, and as if she had remembered something, a faint blush appeared on her illusory cheeks.

She shrank back slightly, clutching her skirt with both hands, her legs unconsciously rubbing together under the long skirt, and she started to stutter as she spoke.

"I...I'll go back and rest first."

Before she could finish speaking, she darted back into the tombstone, not even bothering to say goodbye, leaving behind only a final, fleeting sentence that vanished with a gust of wind:

"By the time you come next time, I... I should have successfully transformed!"

The cemetery fell silent instantly, save for the hoarse cries of crows.

Otto stood there, stunned and bewildered.

"What's wrong?"

He touched his nose.

"I came here out of kindness to chat with her and cheer her up, why did she suddenly hide away?"

Did I say something wrong?

He thought he had done something rude that displeased the young lady, who was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in her previous life.

After all, she was a young lady with a surname. Perhaps I had touched upon some taboo of hers during her lifetime?

But Tessa, standing next to him, crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at him.

She watched Juliet disappear into the tombstone, her tone cool, tinged with understanding:

"Succubus Conqueror, do you still remember the scene on the day of the exorcism?"

That day, Juliet crawled into the demon's vessel to fight the Purple of Hunger alongside you, right?

She paused, then reminded him, word by word:

"When a ghost possesses and controls a body, all senses are completely shared."

Upon hearing this, Otto's expression froze instantly.

"That, that was a misunderstanding!"

Otto suddenly turned around and shouted at the tombstone.

Juliet!

That's a tactical necessity!

It's an exorcism technique!

However, in the empty cemetery, only the rustling of the wind through the wild grass could be heard.

The tombstone remained silent, offering no response whatsoever.

Clearly, in this ghostly lady's eyes, Otto was already synonymous with a hungry beast.

Otto covered his face, utterly despondent.

"It's over, my reputation is completely ruined."

"Give up, succubus conqueror."

Tessa patted him on the shoulder with a smug look on her face.

"You've long since lost your reputation."

Damn it!

Otto gritted his teeth and declared his goal.

"Someday I'll give you a weird title too."

"Whatever you like."

Tessa walked on, seemingly unconcerned.

"Anyway, I'll be going back to the capital soon, and then I'll be a full-fledged High Priest. Who cares about titles then?"

However, I will definitely tell everyone the origin of your title, "Succubus Conqueror"!

The two bickered as they walked out of the Crow Cemetery and back into the carriage.

The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage lurched forward, heading towards the city's clinic.

By the time the carriage returned to the city, the sun was already high in the sky.

The streets were gradually filled with pedestrians, and the cries of vendors and the laughter of passersby created a lively scene of everyday life.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the clinic, and Otto and Tessa got out and went inside.

The clinic was filled with a faint scent of herbs, mixed with the peculiar smell of medicinal liquid.

Luvia was standing at the door waiting for them, her white coat stained with some herbal juice.

And standing beside her was the dwarf Meka.

At this moment, Maika had two heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his beard was messy with some wood chips stuck to it, clearly indicating that he had stayed up all night.

Seeing Otto come in, he didn't waste any words. He turned around, picked up a delicate wooden stand from the corner of the wall, and handed it to Otto.

"This is used to transfer that wolf girl."

Maika's voice was a little hoarse from staying up all night.

"Although she is a grandmaster, she is fragile and has suffered from long-term malnutrition, so she cannot withstand any hardship."

"Place her here, secure her with the belt, and you can carry her steadily without her shaking and hurting the wound."

Otto took the wooden frame.

The frame was made of lightweight hardwood with smooth edges, covered with a thin, soft pad, and had several wide leather straps to hold the body in place.

The wooden frame is cleverly designed, with the stress points all on the shoulders and back, making it easy to carry without too much strain, and freeing up both hands to deal with emergencies.

Looking at the dark circles under Michael's eyes, Otto knew that this usually talkative, stubborn but soft-hearted dwarf had helped him a lot behind the scenes.

This wooden frame looks simple, but it is full of thoughtful details and clearly took a lot of effort.

Thank you.

Otto ┑ 氐乐x.

"how much?

Let me calculate it for you.

Otto knew that because of the big guy incident, Michael was sticking to the facts, and he couldn't let him lose money.

But to his surprise, Maika refused.

"What kind of money?"

Michael waved his hand dismissively.

"It's just a little gadget I've been tinkering with when I'm bored at night. Could you help me test how sturdy it is?"

He paused, then added:

"By the way, when you come back from the countryside, we need to discuss your Moon Silver Shield."

I'll contact an old acquaintance in the next few days to see if he has any extra Moon Silver.

"Once the shield is finished, it should be about time, and we can set off for that place."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Otto to ask any further questions, Michael waved and turned to leave, quickly disappearing into the crowd at the entrance of the clinic.

Otto watched his retreating figure and understood.

The place that Maika mentioned is his obsession over the years, and it was also the original intention behind the formation of the Dragon Slayer Blade team.

Now that he and Tessa have both met Michael's requirements, they should be able to learn the secret of the ruins when they return from Lot Village.

That place must have held great significance for Maika; it must have been the source of his long-standing inner conflict.

"Take good care of yourself and get back to your best condition as soon as possible."

Otto breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there were still many things to plan.

But just then, the sound of a wheelchair rolling came from the inner room.

Luvia beckoned to two nurses and pushed the wheelchair out.

The wolf girl was sitting in the wheelchair.

She looked more haggard than last time, her face was so pale it was almost transparent, her pointed ears drooped listlessly, and her fluffy tail hung limply beside the wheelchair.

But in those amber eyes, there was still a wary wildness, like a wounded wolf cub, even if it was too weak to stand up, it was ready to bite at any time.

Otto pointed to the wooden frame in his hand, indicating to the nurses to help with the transfer.

Tessa stepped forward, intending to reach out and support the wolf girl's arm.

Just as Tessa's hand was about to touch the wolf girl's shoulder, the seemingly weak and powerless wolf girl suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and bit down hard on Tessa's hand!

Her movements were as fast as lightning.

"careful!"

Luvia exclaimed in surprise.

Fortunately, Tessa reacted quickly, instinctively pulling her hand back and narrowly avoiding the attack.

Tessa, seeing the werewolf's fierce eyes, patted her chest with lingering fear.

"Wow, she looks so fierce, but she's incredibly strong."

Otto was also somewhat surprised.

He stepped forward and tentatively extended his hand.

Unexpectedly, when the wolf girl saw Otto's outstretched hand, she simply tilted her head, sniffed lightly, and instead of attacking, she nuzzled her head against him, her pointed ears twitching slightly.

Otto thought it must be because of the Breath of the Azure Moon that she regarded him as one of her own.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief.

This saved a lot of trouble.

He carefully lifted the wolf girl from the wheelchair, moving very gently, afraid of touching the wounds on her severed limbs.

But the wolf girl was so thin she was almost skin and bones, and Otto felt incredibly light holding her in his arms.

Otto gently placed her on the wooden frame and secured her with a leather strap.
