Inside Ashhearth, there was a house that was considered quite nice.

The dim candlelight flickered in the night breeze.

Who is it?

Hawkins suddenly pulled out the longsword wrapped in rags, drew out the steel blade that gleamed with a cold light, and stared intently at a shadowy spot under the candlelight with murderous intent.

"It's me!"

A figure emerged from the shadows, like a ghost that had just escaped from hell, its eerie blue eyes and festering flesh exuding an aura of death.

The person who suddenly emerged from the shadows was none other than Lan, the female undead who had left Sandstone City.

She spoke Common Tongue, so it seems she wasn't familiar with the human language.

"Are you alone?"

Knight Hawkins put his steel sword back into its sheath, the murderous intent in his eyes fading, but he still looked somewhat displeased.

“Our people are too conspicuous, so I have to come in first. The others have already hidden in the mountains outside the city.”

Lan's tone was calm and indifferent; she didn't seem to care about Hawkins' displeasure.

"Damn undead, foolish tribe!"

Hawkins grumbled, not caring whether the female ghost could hear him.

"You can tell me anything, and I'll pass it on!"

"Can you make that decision? This matter is of great importance, and it's not something a mere thief like you can control!"

"So you're not going to talk about your plans today?"

"It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that there's no need for me to talk to you!"

Hawkins' patience seems to be wearing thin.

"My lord, how about I arrange for you to go out tomorrow? We can talk there. After all, this matter is extremely important, and Prince Barton is waiting for your good news!"

The man who had greeted Hawkins earlier that day spoke up again; he didn't want Prince Barton's instructions to fall through over such a small matter.

Upon hearing the man mention Prince Barton, Hawkins, who had been rather displeased, softened his tone and said in a deep voice, "Alright, as you say, we'll go out of town tomorrow!"

When Lan heard Hawkins say this, she didn't refute him. She just nodded slightly and disappeared into the darkness again.

...

"Knock knock knock!"

Joey knocked on his door.

That's right, it was his own door. He originally intended to go straight in, but when he pushed the door open, he found that it was locked from the inside.

"Find another room, I need to rest!"

Levia's voice came from behind the door. Although it sounded particularly muffled, it was clearly audible to Joey, who had his ear pressed against the door.

"My things are still inside!"

Joey argued his case and wanted to go in. As for how he would use his silver tongue once inside, that was another story.

"Take it again later, I don't want your junk!"

Levia spoke very rudely, and although Joey was unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it.

This is a huge loss for them. Now that they've taken over the place, they've really lost out. Without Little Black to play with, they probably won't let the female elf touch them anymore.

Just as Joey was about to leave, she turned around and found the figure she had been longing for standing behind her. She didn't know how long the figure had been standing there.

"Catherine, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was none other than Catherine, but now, dressed in gorgeous attire, she appeared noble and elegant, leaving Joey somewhat mesmerized.

"Call me Lady Catherine!"

"What, can't I come? Now that you have a female elf, does that mean you still keep your word to me?"

Catherine was clearly unhappy, but she had already heard about Levelia's situation. She just didn't know if Levelia's visit was to check up on her or if she had some other purpose.

Joey began to feel fortunate that the door to the room was locked from the inside. If Catherine had seen him and the female elf alone in a room, Joey would have felt like he had been caught in the act.

"How could that be? I think about you every day! It's just that your father won't let me see you, so I can't help it!"

"As for this female elf, she's Little Black, the kitten you held before, remember?"

"I was quite surprised that she suddenly turned into a female elf!"

At this moment, Joey was like a novice boyfriend who had made a mistake, and he was somewhat unsure of himself when faced with his girlfriend's questioning.

"If I won't let you see me, can't you think of a way? Aren't you supposed to have a lot of ideas? How come you're at a loss at this crucial moment?"

"I saw you trying to go in and stay in the same room as her. I bet you even wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, right?"

Catherine, like a jealous girlfriend, kept pressing Joey for answers, trying to vent her frustration.

"I just happened to see your father's territory, didn't I? My ideas are quite destructive, so I have to leave a good impression on my future father-in-law, right?"

"And this..."

Joey pointed to his room.

"I just came to pick something up, Xiao Hei didn't let me in!"

Who is your future father-in-law?

Hearing Joey refer to her father as "father-in-law," Catherine suppressed a laugh and continued to press for answers, but seemed no longer interested in the elf.

“Of course it’s your father! I’m yours now, Catherine!”

Seeing Catherine smile, Joey knew he had passed this test and instantly reverted to his usual carefree demeanor, moving closer to her.

"snort!"

"Melder sent you to kill the red dragon, so why did you sign a hunter class change contract?"

When Catherine said this, it was clearly in a blaming tone towards Joey.
