Sofia didn't know how her sister spent her childhood during the ten years she was studying art.
So much so that she is still so naive to this day.
She remembers that when she found her sister, she was stupid enough to call people brothers in an adventure team, but she didn't realize that those people were taking advantage of her while they were fooling around!
This led Sophia to force her sister to leave the adventure team after they recognized each other, and then established "Lark".
Lark has always only accepted female team members, or those female adventurers who are clean and self-sufficient.
But there is still no way to avoid being harassed.
As a last resort, Sophia accepted Sophia's suggestion and recruited three honest-looking men to act as their protectors.
But in this mission, I didn't expect that the three middle-aged "honest people" were the first to be exposed.
Although they were bribed, how could they be bribed if they didn't have this intention?
In fact, when the first "transaction" occurred, it was not voluntary by the members of Lark.
Instead, they were deceived by the three men into a remote place and they were forcibly taken over by Black Bear.
Sister Sophia, who rushed after hearing the news, was forced by the black bear to swallow this bitter pill.
After tasting the sweetness, the black bear came to harass these sisters every day, and with the help of a traitor, the sisters' whereabouts could not be hidden at all.
Others only saw them being courteous, but they didn't know they were being threatened.
Finally, when the Unicorn Fairy saw that the black bear had succeeded, he naturally wanted a share of the pie.
When the three traitors saw them, they all succumbed to outsiders, let alone "one of our own".
Therefore, Sophia and others hate the Black Bear and the Unicorns, but they hate the three traitors even more.
The first victims in Nok's mouth were the three traitors and the chef.
Then there were the anxious guys from Black Bear, whose lifeblood was cut off.
The murderer was the Lark member who was killed for resisting. When Nok saw her, she was naked and there were some dirty things left by men on her body.
But she didn't care at all, she was frantically cutting the lifeblood of those men there.
The wailing sound at that time scared the guards who went to rescue people to stop.
If Freya hadn't given an order later and sent two more guards, they wouldn't have even dared to fight the crazy female adventurer.
Unfortunately, that woman had nothing on her except a dagger, and was no match for the three guards.
In the end, he was stabbed to death with a sword because he wanted to sneak attack a guard.
All this was seen by Nok while hiding in the tree.
This also allowed him to see Freya's ruthless side.
Her orders were concise and direct.
"Take them down for me. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
Having seen Freya's methods and the strength of her guards, Nok knew that those women would never succeed.
If he acted quickly, he might be able to drag a few adventurers to be buried with him just like the one who was killed.
If you still want to torture others, then Wan has lost the opportunity to do it.
In this regard, Nok stopped paying attention and focused on looking for Leo.
Who asked him to go to the carriage to find Leo, only to find that Leo was not there!
On the other hand, Leo's shield was casually thrown onto the carriage.
This made Nok laugh and cry a little bit.
Because Nok's weapons and other important things are hidden in Leo's luggage!
And there are hidden compartments in the newly built ice shield, which hide Nok's [Holy Light and Punishment].
Nok had nothing on him at this time except a newly made dagger.
This has long been confirmed by Freya and Charlotte.
Even the most hidden places in Nok were "checked" with their hands.
But Nok didn't expect that he thought Leo had found some clue and ran out.
The result was an "affair", but the scene and outcome of this affair were not very good.
Nok, who used detection skills to find Leo, would naturally not miss the opportunity to tease Leo.
Unexpectedly, Sister Sophia actually "hijacked" Leo.
But Nok is very confused, is Leo that easy to hijack?
After all, he is also a silver-level person who is about to break through to the gold level. He is being held hostage by a mage and a thief. Is this serious?
Therefore, Nok had to find a way to "save" Leo.
Hearing that Sophia was moved by his suggestion, Nok couldn't help but suggest: "Hey, how about this, if you are willing to agree to a condition, I can help you and save people."
"I refuse! My sister and I will not serve a wanton man like you!"
Sophia directly rejected Nok without waiting for Nok to make any conditions. If she refused, she would directly let Nok break the defense.
"Wait! What do you mean by a wild man like me! How could I be wild? Why can Leo do it but I can't!"
Although Nok had no such thoughts about the sisters, he couldn't help but argue about this issue.
After all, this issue is just like a woman saying that a man is not good enough. It is a matter of face and must be fought for!
"Hmph! Mr. Gareth is an upright man. Not only has he not complicit in the evil these days, but he has also refused invitations from many of our sisters! Such a clean and self-sufficient man is much better than you!"
Even Sophia acquiesced to what Sophia said.
Otherwise, with how much she hates men, how could she be willing to use her as a bargaining chip with her sister?
Knight Sofia originally planned to let her sister commit herself to Gareth, so that her sister could also have a home as a good friend.
But considering her sister's Hu Lielie character, she was afraid that her sister would not be able to catch such a good man, so she felt that she would have to sacrifice herself and guard her sister for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, Gareth did not accept them, but seemed to be a little disgusted with their behavior. This made Sofia admired but felt very disappointed at the same time.
But just because she can accept Gareth doesn't mean she can accept his partner.
This Nock got into his employer's carriage from the first day of the journey. He was not familiar with his employer, and it was not because he had a handsome face!
This kind of man who wields a weapon and acts violently is not a good person in the end.
However, thinking this way, Sophia was not as innocent as Sophia. She did not think that Nok would help them just for the sake of their beauty.
Because Mrs. Freya and the Charlotte housekeeper are much better than them in terms of figure and appearance.
Although my sister's murder weapon was very rare, her temperament was not as good as those two noble and beautiful women.
"What does Lord Nok want from us?"
Sophia asked, wanting to hear Nok's conditions.
Nok smiled and said, "I want you."
"Impossible!" Sophia shouted in surprise.
"My sister and I have the same opinion. I will not become your plaything!"
Nok covered his head with a headache and shouted: "Can you listen to what I have to say?"
"I want you sisters to be loyal to me, not just you and your sister, but also the girls who were captured. I want you to be unconditionally loyal to me and never betray."
Sofia didn't expect Nok's ambition to be so ambitious, and he actually wanted their entire team.
"So what do we get?"
"My protection and the improvement of your strength. Also, if you really like Leo, I can help! In the future, I can even let you set up an organization where women have the final say. I will not interfere with your actions. But when I need you, you must support me unconditionally."
Sophia was silent. She thought for a while before asking.
"How can you guarantee that you can do what you say?"
Nok smiled: "I can save people first, and then you will give me the answer. Then I can tell you the rest. But once you agree to be loyal to me, there is no possibility of betrayal. Otherwise, you will all die to the end of the world. No need. If you doubt whether I can do it, as a priest of the Holy Church, you should understand the power of the church."
Nok once again pulled out the church's tiger skin, and his tried-and-tested moves really surprised Sophia.
"You are actually a priest of the Holy Church! How is that possible? You are not an adventurer!"
"Can't an adventurer be a priest? Can't a priest be an adventurer? Don't you know that the Holy Church is involved behind the Mage Guild and the Adventurer Guild? Or, you, a civilian mage, I haven’t even gone to the Mages Guild to assess my level!”
Nok was dumbfounded. Isn't this common sense?
In this way, Sophia and Nok reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
This scene made Leo, the ignored party, very unhappy.
When Sister Sophia disappeared into the darkness and left to get her equipment, Leo spoke.
"Why did you suddenly think of recruiting them?"
"Isn't it because you are tempted?" Nok looked at Leo with disgust.
Leo scratched his head in embarrassment under the moonlight: "Did you see it?"
Nok smiled angrily and scolded: "Is this even necessary? You are wearing our latest protective clothing. If you really want to resist, can those two girls hold you hostage? It's obvious that you want to help others."
"Hey, I...I just"
"Okay. If you want to help, just help. Anyway, I can't stand those guys. The trouble now is how to convince Freya to let these poor women go without damaging our relationship."
"Sorry to cause you trouble. But Sofia woke me up by scolding me. It was our misfortune to meet Anna, but it does not mean that every woman is as casual as her. At least, the reason why this happened to us tonight , isn’t it those..."
"Wait!" Nok interrupted Leo.
"You don't think these women are really martyrs, do you?"
Leo was confused by the question: "What do you mean?"
Nok shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened to Sister Sophia. But the other women actually gave in half-heartedly. However, they later discovered that their treatment did not improve because they surrendered, but instead became even worse. A tool for other male adventurers to vent their anger. That’s why they chose revenge.”
"Although what they did is not wrong, it does not mean that they are innocent. Let alone treating them as chaste and martyrdom women."
Nok's words turned Leo's compassion into charcoal.
"Then why do you still recruit these shameless women?"
Leo was visibly angry.
Nok laughed and said, "It is precisely because they are shameless and use their bodies as tools that I fall in love with them."
"Leo, the road ahead for us is not smooth. We need to overcome obstacles. It won't work just by the two of us."
"It is necessary to cultivate some secret forces to help us solve some troubles that are inconvenient for us to come forward."
"Don't underestimate women. One Anna can fool us all around. What if we can cultivate ten or eight women like Anna? Can we fool a group of people around?"
"If we turn that group of people into our strength, wouldn't it mean we don't have to act like we do now around two women who obviously have evil intentions?"
"So, we must develop our power. And these women are our best tools. Of course, if you really like the Sophia sisters, then take them into your pocket. Make them your own. This way I can rest assured. Use them. Instead of using them as tools."
After Locke explained to Leo, he buried his head and walked back, leaving Leo to digest his words alone.
Only if Leo wants to understand Nok's intention can the two of them continue walking without any gap.
Otherwise, even the slightest crack will cause them to part ways.
Couldn't Nok see that Leo was moved by Sister Sophia?
Nok also heard some of the conversation between Sophia and Leo.
I understand that these sisters are rare clean women.
If these two women could untie Leo's knot and let him start over.
So what if he and Leo parted ways, so what if the three of them were reunited.
He, Nook Lane, had long decided to walk on that road paved with corpses!
This decision was born from the moment he learned about his life experience.
It's just that he hid it so deeply that even Leo didn't notice it.
