But the next moment, a scorching fire tornado swept across the earth.
The robbers were burned to ashes before they even had time to react.
But Xi Ruiya was unharmed in the flames.
"Looks like I'm not too late."
Olivia put out the fire and picked up the frightened Shiriya.
"I really don't know why that guy would issue such a commission."
Olivia looked at Xi Ruiya, who acted like a noble lady and clearly said that I was weak. She didn't quite understand what an old friend was thinking.
Chapter 67: Well, it’s a coincidence
"Your king-sized roasted deer is ready, please enjoy."
At this time, Xi Ruiya was serving dishes in the clothes of a maid.
She had a sweet smile on her face and spoke respectfully, but her mind was wandering and she was thinking about other things.
Since she woke up ten days ago, the elder sister who rescued her told her that she had lost everything, including the private money she had brought with her and the guards.
Shiriya, who instantly realized that she could not survive alone in Baishi Town, begged the elder sister who saved her life to give her a job.
So in the end she became a waitress in a restaurant called Dragon's Breath.
Although the salary is not high, at least three meals a day are guaranteed and there is a place to live.
And these days she also discovered that this restaurant called Dragon's Breath seemed very unusual.
First of all, the adventurers who came here to eat were surprisingly quiet.
Xi Ruiya had seen many adventurers, and they were all very noisy. In particular, she had secretly been to a tavern out of curiosity, and it was as noisy inside as a busy market.
However, here, all the adventurers ate in silence, few people spoke, and each of them was very strong. The silver level was just the foundation. She even saw three gold-level adventurers coming to see the proprietress in the past few days.
Secondly, waitresses in restaurants and taverns can easily be taken advantage of by bad adventurers. At worst, they may be stared at with lustful eyes or teased with obscene jokes. However, in Dragon's Breath, no adventurer would do this.
This is not only because the quality of the adventurers who come here is very high, the most important point is that they dare not.
The older sister who saved her, the proprietress of Dragon's Breath, was definitely a professional with strength at least at the peak of the Gold Rank. It's just that no one knew why she didn't go to the White Tower to take risks, but instead opened a restaurant here.
Under her intimidation, all adventurers behaved well.
"Shiria, the food for table number three is ready, bring it over."
The proprietress's words interrupted Xi Ruiya's thoughts.
"coming!"
She responded and walked towards the kitchen.
As the busy lunch passed, Xi Ruiya became much more relaxed.
The opening hours of Dragon's Breath apparently depend on the mood of the proprietress.
Generally speaking, it is not open in the morning. Dragon's Breath will open around 10 am.
The closing time is not too late. If the boss lady is in a good mood, she will close at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. If she is in a bad mood, she will close at 8 pm, but this time is much earlier than those restaurants and bars that almost close in the middle of the night.
Moreover, the number of days Dragon's Breath is open each week is not fixed. It all depends on the mood of the proprietress on that day.
But even so, many adventurers come to dine.
According to the conversation between the adventurers that Xi Ruiya heard, it seems that the food made by the proprietress has special effects, and the effects are very good.
"Shiria, clean up, the store is about to close."
The proprietress took a look at the sky and told Xi Ruiya to close the shop.
The current time is 4:30 in the afternoon. There are no customers in the restaurant at this time. It seems that the adventurers who come here know the temper of the proprietress. Basically, they come here to have lunch. Even if they eat slowly and come late, they will eat at two or three o'clock.
"Yes! Sister Olivia!~"
Xi Ruiya put down the rag in her hand and prepared to close the door.
"Oh!"
Finally the door was opened.
Xi Ruiya was startled and almost fell to the ground, but was stopped by a warm hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice there was anyone behind the door."
Lisha supported Shiriya and then shouted to Olivia.
"Sister Olivia, I'm back!~~"
"I heard you, don't be so loud."
Olivia leaned on the counter, resting her chin on one hand. She looked around and found that there was one more person in Lisha's team.
"Wouldn't you like to introduce this child?"
Olivia narrowed her eyes.
She sensed danger from the gray-haired girl.
She hadn't felt that breath of death for a long time.
"She is Freya, an adventurer who came to the White Tower from a remote town."
Lisha told the lie she had prepared long ago.
Although she didn't want to lie to Olivia, Freya's life experience was too shocking. Lisha felt that if she told the truth, Olivia might think she was lying.
"Because her wallet was stolen by a thief, she was hungry for two days and almost fainted. In the end, I saved her!"
Lisha looked very proud, as if she was asking for praise for doing a good deed.
"I'm Freya."
Freya stepped forward and introduced herself to Olivia.
"Lisha helped me, so I joined her team."
"How on earth did you, a Gold Rank person, almost pass out from hunger?"
Olivia asked with interest.
"what?"
Lisha's eyes widened.
"Furlia, you've reached the Gold Level?!"
Merilu and Ike also looked at Freya with surprise.
Ilsa, who was standing behind, covered her face.
Was she the only one who guessed that Freya had been promoted to the Gold Level?
"You don't know?"
Olivia smiled.
"You are so careless, kid. You actually let a Gold Rank person whose background you don't know join your team. Aren't you afraid that your team will be wiped out?"
"Freya is not that kind of person. She is a true knight."
Lisha retorted subconsciously.
"Knights? You mean those hypocritical fellows of the Glory Knights?"
"The Glory Knight is not some hypocritical fellow!"
Unexpected words came out of Xi Ruiya's mouth.
"I know a knight of honor. He is a true knight and the one I respect the most."
"Oh?"
Olivia's eyes fell on Ciria, who was biting her lip.
"Shiria, I actually know who you are."
"what?"
Xi Ruiya was stunned for a moment.
"Shiria Skawen, a well-known business genius of the Skawen family. Many nobles say that with White Skawen and Shiria Skawen, the Skawen family will definitely be revived, and even further progress is not impossible. But just ten days ago, the Skawen family was wiped out overnight, and only you survived. The reason you survived is because you were praying in the Church of the Earth at that time. The power that seemed to be a blood curse was blocked by the power of the gods and did not extend to you along the bloodline of the Skawen family. Am I right, Miss Skawen~"
Olivia’s words shocked everyone present.
Oh, except Freya, who didn't seem surprised at all.
"You are right, Lady Olivia, there is no Skawen family anymore."
Shiriya took a deep breath and told the sad truth.
She hadn't felt so lost and overwhelmed in many years, since her parents passed away.
She couldn't understand why her life changed so drastically overnight.
Just ten days ago, she was the business genius of the Skawen family and the woman who was about to become the next head of the Skawen family. Her fiancé was White Skawen, the perfect knight who was praised by even his enemies.
She was very satisfied with her life. After all, the Whites were really nice people, handsome, elegant, and kind. They were true knights who were consistent in their appearance and character, unlike some nobles who looked righteous but were actually cunning, cruel, corrupt, and degenerate.
However, ten days later, she was reduced to working as a waitress in a restaurant, living a life barely enough to make ends meet.
Chapter 68?
"I came here to find White and to avoid the enemies of my family."
Shiriya's voice was a little hoarse.
"As a result, I was ambushed several times along the way and lost many guards. When I was almost within the White Tower, I was ambushed by several Silver-rank adventurers. If it weren't for Ms. Olivia, I would have died long ago."
"During the time I was working at Dragon's Breath, I was also trying to find out White's whereabouts. The result was what I least wanted to hear. The adventure group White was affiliated with did not see White return at the agreed time. They even sent people to search for him for three days, but found no trace of him."
Xi Ruiya's eyes were red.
"An adventurer has gone missing in the White Tower. You all know what this means, right?"
Everyone was silent.
If an adventurer disappears in the White Tower, it is basically a sure thing.
Although there are indeed cases of missing adventurers returning, they are truly extremely rare cases, and it is a piece of luck that the surviving adventurers can brag about for the rest of their lives.
"Sorry, because of some trash I met before, I have some prejudice against the profession of Honor Knight."
Olivia sighed and apologized to Sheria.
"...I should be the one to say sorry for interrupting your gathering."
Shiriya wiped her eyes.
Then she was embraced by a cold embrace.
"sorry."
"Hey?"
Xi Ruiya didn't understand why the gray-haired girl in front of her wanted to apologize to her.
"Youze, could the situation Xi Ruiya mentioned be caused by the previous one?"
Lisha had no intention of disturbing Shiriya and Freya, so she asked Youze in her mind, her voice a little lower.
"That should be it."
You Ze felt there was no other possibility.
After all, even a legendary warlock cannot use blood as a connection to allow all bloodlines connected to it to ignore the level of death.
It could only be the work of [Death]. Of course, it could also be an accident caused by [Death].
"Should we tell Xi Ruiya that Freya is White?"
Lisha didn’t know what to do.
Although she had an extraordinary experience, Lisha was still only a sixteen-year-old girl after all. She really didn't know what to do with such a complicated matter.
