The City Lord's Mansion was extremely lively tonight. There were many banquet tables in the hall. Everyone was changing glasses, with rosy faces and happy faces.
As the city lord, Bai Yi first said some kind words to everyone.
Then he went to each table one by one to chat and say hello.
Then, I took some to eat, went back to my room, and sent it to Luya.
He also left temporarily on the pretext of going out to greet guests.
——
As early as just now, Bai Yi noticed something.
That means Dole is missing.
As the main contributor to this operation, Bai Yi naturally had to have a chat with her.
He wandered around for a long time and looked at many places.
But the other party was nowhere to be seen.
In the end, it was the other party who took the initiative to speak:
"What are you looking for?"
Bai Yicai discovered where it went.
He looked up and found Dole sitting on the eaves above his head.
He had a bottle of red wine in his hand and had already drank most of it.
The bright moonlight shines on the drunken face, which is quite charming.
The cold wind blew by, and the long silver-white hair swayed in the wind, but there was a trace of freedom and ease.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Yi chuckled.
"I don't like humans, and I don't like parties."
"Can we talk?"
"Let's talk about it when we come up."
As he said that, he raised the bottle and started drinking.
But after he put it down, he saw Bai Yi already standing beside him, which made him a little confused.
"How did you get up here?"
"There is a wall next to it. You can come up by climbing over the wall."
"Aren't you not good at fighting?"
"Just because I'm not good at it, I have to add some points to escaping over walls. Weak people have to have some means of self-protection, right?"
"Haha...that's really interesting..."
As he said that, he took another big sip, and this time he drank it all.
Then he shook the wine bottle and saw that there was nothing left in it, so he threw it directly into the yard as if he was feeling cathartic.
Fortunately, there was a layer of snow on the ground in the yard, so there was no sound of broken glass.
"Wine, is there any wine?"
She stretched out her hand towards Bai Yi.
"Drinking is harmful to your health, are you sure?"
"If you don't give it, I won't give it. Stop whining, bitch."
"Drink less."
Bai Yi took out a bottle of wine from the storage ring and handed it over.
These wines were all found in the warehouse in Yucun, and they were probably prepared for the officers on the front line.
Dole took the bottle and roughly pulled out the cork, drank it in one gulp, and half the bottle was gone.
"ha……"
She exhaled happily and looked like she was enjoying herself.
But he couldn't hide the loss and confusion in his eyes.
There is no doubt that Dole was in a bad mood.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be hiding here alone drinking.
"What are your plans for the future?" Bai Yi entered the topic.
But Dole didn't answer, he just stared blankly at the dark distance in the distance, which was the direction of the Demon King's City and the place where Queen Kyle fell.
Dole can't help but feel heavy as he misses the past.
Bai Yi also guessed what she was thinking, but he cared more about how to keep her behind than enlightening the patient.
Previously, Bai Yi thought that Dole had gone somewhere.
But now it seems that this may not be the case.
At noon, Bai Yi asked old John if Dole had gotten up, and old John said no.
From that moment on, Bai Yi already had some doubts.
If Dole really has somewhere to go, given Bai's understanding of Dole, he is afraid that he will leave casually after leaving a casual sentence.
Instead of locking yourself in the room at noon.
Not even hiding on the roof drinking alcohol now.
——
"I know that maybe you have a better place to go, and I also know that the person is more familiar to me than I am.
However, after so many years, the internal environment of the demon clan is no longer what it used to be.
If you go to seek refuge now, aren't you afraid that the other person has changed? Aren't you afraid that you will fall into a trap?"
The persuasion began. Even though he had guessed that the other party had nowhere to go, he still had to pretend that he had a choice.
Only in this way can we save enough face for the other party and not make her look so pitiful.
"Stay, I really want to keep you."
The other party didn't speak.
"I know that one minister cannot serve two masters, but the relationship between monarch and minister in this world is not the only one that can help one person, right?
We can be friends. If I encounter any difficulties, you can help me as a friend.
On the contrary, if you encounter any problems, I will try my best to solve them for you.
This kind of friendship relationship is one of mutual help and cannot be regarded as a relationship between monarch and minister. Naturally, there is no such thing as one minister and two masters.
You are still free and can leave at any time, you are just staying at a friend's house."
The other party still didn't speak, but took another big sip of wine.
Seeing this, Bai Yi had to use his trump card.
"call……"
He snatched the wine from Dole's hand and drank the rest in one gulp under Dole's astonished gaze.
Immediately afterwards, the whole face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His tone of voice also began to rise, typical of someone who was drunk.
"Don't you want to know my abilities? I'll tell you now."
He threw the bottle into the courtyard and said:
“Actually, it’s not a big deal, I just transfer all the negative aspects of the patient to myself.
Then as long as I hold on for a while, as long as I don't die, these negative things will automatically disappear.
Of course, it’s useless on dead people, and I can’t bring people back to life.”
"Why are you telling me this..."
"Because you are leaving and I can't bear to leave."
He looked like a drunken man, and he would never say such disgusting words normally.
Dole was a little surprised when he heard this, but didn't say much.
She just sighed and said:
"You're drunk."
"No, I know very well that I am not drunk. Of course, none of this is important. What is important is what I want to say next.
Listen, you must listen carefully."
He pointed at Dole with a mysterious look on his face:
"Let me ask you, beautiful Miss Dole, where is Kyle's body?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"Just answer my questions and answer me honestly."
"It is probably in the hands of the Demon King. She likes to collect the corpses of strong men."
"That's right!"
He clapped his hands and looked enlightened.
Dole was naturally puzzled:
"What?"
"As long as the body is still there, everything will be fine."
"I... don't quite understand what you mean."
"Listen, listen, this beautiful lady, listen to me, do you still remember what my abilities are?"
"Of course, but...can't it be used on dead people?"
"What if we bring Kyle back to life?"
"Varied……"
Her eyes widened, she was so shocked that she was mostly awake from the wine, and she hurriedly asked:
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean, is there a magic in this world that can make a person's corpse temporarily come alive?
It doesn't take long, as long as she can survive temporarily.
Even if it's just a walking corpse, even if it's just a puppet on strings."
