Victor was not in a good mood all day. Ruth and Jessica no longer used their usual endless commotion to attract his attention, and became much quieter. They are just crazy, but not stupid. They know very well that Victor has the highest status in this group, and they can be taken care of as long as they please him. Although they have a rather different way of courting Victor and are often taught a lesson by him, it is better to be taught a lesson than to be ignored or abandoned.
This is what the two girls fear most.
Victor explained that Ruth and Jessica's intelligence has not declined, but their cognitive abilities have been restricted and have become extremely narrow, and they are particularly afraid of unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar behaviors. The environment here does not refer to a fixed location, but to fixed companions and a fixed way of getting along. If one day they break free from the prison of their souls, they may return to normal.
Maddie couldn't quite understand Victor's statement. He simply judged that Ruth and Jessica recognized their master. They were the hobgoblins who enslaved them before, and now they are Victor.
They are like two little she-wolves, trying to please the wolf king Victor, bullying old wolves like Maddie and Harvey, and rejecting outsiders who try to get close to this small group. Whether they are half-elves or animals, they will be attacked by these two women. attack.
No matter how you look at it, Ruth and Jessica are both complete lunatics, and only Victor regards them as "babies". And Maddie tried not to provoke them. To be honest, he despised Ruth and Jessica from the bottom of his heart. He had a hunch that if nothing unexpected happened, these two crazy women would definitely cause an accident for them all.
Today, Victor has been absent-minded. Ruth and Jessica deliberately broke several vases, but he did not educate them as usual. This made the two women quiet and follow him with tears in their eyes. As Victor walked back and forth, they held his clothes behind him; when Victor sat down to meditate, they also sat at Victor's feet, holding his legs, looking very pitiful.
Maddie is more worried about Victor than Ruth and Jessica. After all, Victor is also an amnesiac. No one knows what happened to him, but it is certain that the trouble he encountered was not as simple as being enslaved by the hobgoblin.
Strictly speaking, Victor's abnormality started last night when Harvey talked about the wolf-shepherd girl Bertina. Maddie could feel that Victor wanted to protect Bertina. Especially when it comes to the torture of the wolf-herder girl on the famous young master, Victor naturally defends Bertina and seems unwilling to accept the evaluation that the wolf-herder girl is cruel.
Maddie was slightly worried. He had never thought about a character like the Wolf Shepherd Girl. She stood up for the poor, broke into Highland City alone, and escaped unscathed from the siege of many professional experts and regular legions. It was simply a legend. character of.
The story is a story, and when the characters in the story break into reality, they won’t surprise people, only frighten them.
Although the shepherd girl was powerful, she was still forced back by the strong men of Luoye City. The famous highland family angered the residents of Dao Street because of Bertina and imposed cruel punishments of cage punishment. There may not be any intention to lure out the Wolf Shepherd Girl.
Whether she was unwilling or incapable, the wolf-shepherd girl did not save any of the more than 300 poor people who were tortured for her.
The goal of the famous highland family has been achieved, and no half-elf will dare to follow her or help her. Bertina was completely isolated and became a public enemy of the entire Disa Alliance.
Anyone who gets involved with the Wolf Shepherd Girl will be executed by the highland nobles, and the Wolf Shepherd Girl is unlikely to rescue him.
It would be bad if Victor really had a secret relationship with the notorious wolf girl. The trouble caused by the Wolf Shepherd Girl is natural disaster level. In comparison, Ruth and Jessica's troubles were not even troubles.
Of course, this kind of thing is too far away from McGrady. Fortunately, Ruth and Jessica didn't go crazy today. Harvey went to the Black Pig Tavern to deal with thieves again. Maddie decided to practice breathing again.
This breathing method was specially taught by Victor to Maddie when they were in the wild, in order to relieve the fainting symptoms of the Cold Heart Curse. Although McGrady's breathing method is still in the experimental stage, it does produce results. After a period of practice, McGrady's normal actions are no longer troubled by the cold-hearted curse. He held his breath, and before he ran out of breath, he could still fight fiercely and regain his true strength as a level four dark hunter, which took about 12 seconds. If you run out of breath, the Cold Heart Curse takes effect immediately.
This has been an unexpected surprise. McGrady spends a lot of time practicing breathing techniques every day, hoping to extend his fighting time as much as possible.
He was just getting ready to practice when there was a knock on the door downstairs.
"Is this Mr. Harvey's residence?"
Ruth and Jessica turned their faces at the same time, and their expressions began to look a little scary.
Maddie quickly got up and went downstairs, walked quickly to the door, opened the door and stepped out, and asked the two visitors standing outside the door in a low voice: "What do you do?"
The visitor did not expect that the tenant of this house would run to the door to ask questions. He couldn't help but take a step back and stammered: "I...I am a tailor from Water Snake Town. Mr. Harvey just found me. The shop asked me to come to your door and customize some sets of clothes for you. So I..."
Maddie narrowed her eyes and looked at the visitor who claimed to be a tailor like a knife.
This is a short little old man. He looks about 60 years old, with white eyebrows, a bald head and a round face. He is well-dressed, and there are no calluses on his hands formed by holding weapons all the time.
Behind the little old man was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with red hair and gray eyes, an ordinary appearance, and the most common freckles at this age on her nose. She was wearing a gray maid's dress that was not new, and of course it was a small one. She was holding a small round stool in one hand and a small suitcase in the other hand. She was looking at Maddie curiously.
"This is my assistant, she is still a child..." the little old man explained nervously.
Maddie realized she was staring at the little-->>

The girl's eyes caused the tailor to misunderstand. In fact, he only looks like a middle-aged man because he is a fourth-level professional and has taken expensive secret medicine for a long time. His actual age may be older than the little old tailor, and he has long lost interest in women. The reason is probably related to the female warriors of the Hemer tribe.
In short, McGrady didn't mean anything else. The little girl's agility attracted extra attention from the dark hunters, but there was no need to explain it to outsiders.
"Oh, tailor...yes, we need to make a few sets of clothes." Maddie coughed and said.
The little old man tried to ask: "Don't we need to go in? Or should we just measure the size here and call out all the guests inside?"
"Go in, of course you have to go in. It's almost dark, how do you measure your body outside?" Maddie paused, then said: "But, the two ladies inside are a bit special. They don't like to meet strangers, maybe... …I mean, maybe, they will hit someone, so be careful and don’t provoke them, okay?”
The tailor understood that the two ladies were lunatics and the kind who liked to hit people. Not to mention how regretful he felt now, he should not have accepted this business if he had known it, but there were some things he had to do, and he could only hope that the lunatic inside would not use any deadly weapons.
"Okay. But I hope you can control the situation." The tailor said tactfully.
"Put it down. If they hit you or bite you, we will compensate you for your losses." Maddie nodded, opened the door and made an invitation gesture, "Please come in."
At this point, the tailor could only bravely go inside, but the little girl he brought not only was not timid, but also had an air of eagerness to try. Maddie observed her nimble steps from behind and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
This is indeed a rare and good seedling.
After closing the door, Maddie raised her voice and shouted upstairs, "Victor, the tailor Harvey hired is here..." Before he could finish his words, two women rushed down with a roar...
With the tailor and the little girl screaming for help, Maddie scolding and blocking, and the sound of pottery being broken, the room was in chaos. Victor controlled the situation in a very short time, and the living room was already in a mess.
"I was careless just now." Victor grabbed a woman by the hand and said angrily.
The tailor hiding under the table shouted with a cry: "Sir, I don't want to do this business. Can we leave?"
"Don't, their madness will last for a while. It's okay now...come out." Maddie advised, then looked up at the little girl hanging on the ceiling chandelier, and asked gently: "Little guy, Do you need me to catch you?"
"You promise they won't bite me, and I can come down by myself." The little girl on the chandelier said in a crisp voice.
Victor was surprised at the little girl's agility and reaction speed, raised his head and said, "I promise."
With a "pop" sound, the little girl landed steadily on the table. The tailor under the table also crawled out tremblingly. He held his forehead and whispered: "It's so scary. Why can't we tie them up with chains?"
Ruth and Jessica obviously understood this sentence, and they tried to attack the little old tailor again, but Victor hugged his slender waist, and his two pairs of white legs broke through the constraints of the skirt, and they faced the air. Kicking.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Victor scolded sternly.
In fact, Ruth and Jessica are still very beautiful when they are quiet, but when they are mad, their expressions are ferocious and their eyebrows are angry. No one would think that they are beautiful.
Scary is real.
It is almost impossible for the tailor and the little girl to see and remember their true appearance.
"I'm sorry for scaring you. I'll pay you now." McGrady immediately put his hand into his purse. He spent a long time digging around but couldn't find any change. He could only take out a gold coin and give it to the tailor, emphasizing: "I will pay you five silver pagodas, and the extra money will be included in the cost of making clothes."
After getting the gold, the little old man regained his composure and confidence as a tailor. He took the initiative to introduce: "I am Meepo from Water Snake Town. My friends call me 'Tape Measure'. I have thirty years of tailoring experience. You can completely believe it." With my skills and reputation, I can satisfy my customers no matter what style of clothing I wear." He paused, then pointed at the little girl and said: "Her name is Stephanie... the apprentice I just accepted. Because, Mr. Harvey She said there were two ladies who also needed custom-made clothes. So I brought her to tailor them for ladies. But..."
"I'll measure them for them, so there's no need to bother this little girl." Victor said knowingly.
Mipo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."
After another round of troubles, tailor Mibo finally got the customer's body measurements. Before leaving, he said to Victor: "Sir, you are very tall and your body proportions are perfect. I can make clothes for you." It takes more time.”
Victor was wearing a set of old clothes given to him by the armed caravan. They were the largest size, but they looked awkward on him, seriously reducing his charm and making him look particularly weird.
Clothes must be made. As for their height, waist, wingspan and other body measurements, they have not thought about this issue. Drawing is also a skill that an experienced tailor must master.
"How long will it take?" Victor asked.
Mipo thought for a while and replied: "Four days at the fastest, but you have to pay extra. You know, I have to push other customers' orders back, which will be troublesome for me. Not all customers are so easy to talk to. …”
Victor nodded and said, "Okay, give him another gold coin."
"Sir, you are so generous. I will try to speed it up... and of course, make sure you are satisfied."
