Faced with the information provided by Radice, Fang Zheng was stunned for only a second, and then returned to his usual expression.

"So? So what?"

“Hey, this…”

Looking at Fang Zheng's extremely calm expression, Radice didn't know what to say.

"What... He's the chief magician of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and he's also a border earl! This is not an easy matter! What if this gets out of hand..."

"But this doesn't prove that he's not a witch cultist."

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"And if I remember correctly, that forest is still the territory of this kingdom, right? Why did he, the chief magician of Lugnica, go to another country? Did he report to you? In any case, my attitude is very clear. No matter who he is, he appeared at the scene where the witch cult attacked the village, and he also attacked me. This shows that the clown has a major relationship and suspicion with this incident. In short... he deserves to die."

"Well……"

Seeing Fang Zheng's indifferent expression, Radice was speechless and had nothing to say. Princess Lana originally wanted to do a favor by saying through Radice that the kingdom could help Fang Zheng get rid of this trouble, in order to win over Fang Zheng and the forces behind him. But seeing Fang Zheng's expression, it seemed different from what she expected? How could she continue the discussion now?

"All in all, you don't have to worry."

Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"If those people from the Lugnica Kingdom come looking for us, just tell them that I killed them and ask them to come find me."

"So what are you going to do?"

For some reason, Radice had a very bad feeling deep in her heart at this moment.

"Let's talk. If we can't reach an agreement, we can talk later. If that doesn't work, let's use our fists to speak. I don't even take a mere Lugnica seriously."

If it were someone else, Radice might have thought that he was just bluffing, but after seeing the devastating energy wave with her own eyes, she believed that Fang Zheng would definitely keep his word. To him, Lugnica was probably not even a bother.

"Then please be more careful."

Since Fang Zheng had expressed his attitude, Radice had nothing to say.

"Fortunately, this incident may not have as serious an impact as you think... because Lugnica currently has no king."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

"It's like this. Several years ago, the former emperor of that country passed away for unknown reasons, and almost all of the royal family disappeared..."

"It's a miracle that the country has managed to survive until now."

"Lugnica is a little different."

Hearing Fang Zheng's sigh, Radice also explained with a wry smile.

"Indeed, if it were another country, losing its ruler might cause a lot of problems. However, the situation in Lugnica is special. This country once signed a contract with the dragon Bolkenni and was protected by the dragon. Therefore, it was able to avoid war, plague, and famine. Because of this, even though the country lost its king, it did not fall apart. It is currently led by a group of high-level officials called the Council of Sages."

"Oh, the dragon..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded, but his heart remained calm. Are you kidding? In this world, he doesn't even care about the Red Dragon God. The only one he needs to worry about is the Golden Nightmare King. How can he care about a dragon that appeared from nowhere?

If it dares to cause trouble, then let it see the power of Deathwing!

Radice reluctantly said goodbye and left. Fang Zheng also took the two girls back to the castle. Perhaps because of the sudden disaster, the two girls were very silent. Fang Zheng tried to coax them several times, but to little avail. This was also normal. After all, the place and people where they grew up were completely destroyed overnight. For two very young girls, it was really not so easy to accept.

Finally, Fang Zheng took the two girls on a trip to Verona. When they were flying in the sky, the gloom on the two girls' faces finally dissipated a little, revealing happy smiles that suited their age. Fang Zheng took the two little girls all the way through the sky and then returned to the castle.

When Fang Zheng returned to the castle, he saw Maine and the maids drying clothes outside. Fang Zheng also controlled Verona to turn around, then found an open space to stop and greeted Maine.

"Oh, busy."

"Mr. Fang Zheng?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, Maine, who was busy directing the maids, turned around and was stunned when she saw the scene. She hurried over.

"What is this? You can actually fly? Is this some kind of magic item?"

"That's about right. I'll take you up there for a few laps when I have nothing else to do."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng jumped off Verona. At the same time, he reached out and picked up the two girls sitting on it.

"Let's arrange for them now."

"Eh? They are..."

"The children I met this time, well, let's arrange them to the women's room first, is that okay?"

"OK."

Hearing this, although Mayin was a little confused, she nodded obediently and turned to call for help. Fang Zheng also reached out and touched the heads of the two girls.

"Okay, from today on, this is your home, you will live here."

“…”

Neither of the two girls said anything, but they both reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng's sleeves, looking like they were reluctant to part with him.

"Don't worry."

Looking at the two girls like this, Fang Zheng touched their heads again.

"I live here, too."

“…”

After hearing these words, the two girls finally seemed to feel relieved. They looked at Fang Zheng reluctantly again, and then left with the maid that Myne had called.

"What's wrong with them?"

Looking at the two girls' receding backs curiously, Maine asked, while Fang Zheng sighed.

"It was just bad luck. Their village was attacked by cultists, and everyone except the two of them was killed."

“They were all killed?!”

Hearing this, Maine widened her eyes in surprise. She had been in this world for a while, but this was the first time she heard of such a massacre.

“Is it so terrible?”

"Of course. Do you think this is modern society and you can call the police for no reason? The two children lived in a remote village in the border forest. If I hadn't been patrolling there and found something wrong, maybe no one would have noticed that the village had been attacked in a few weeks."

“How pitiful…”

Maine clenched her hands and looked at the two people's backs anxiously. Although there are many orphans in the castle now, most of them are abandoned by their parents. Like these two girls, the whole village was massacred, and only the two of them survived... Maine had never thought about it.

"By the way, Mr. Fang Zheng, is our safety here okay?"

It would have been fine if Fang Zheng hadn't mentioned it, but after he said that, Myne began to worry about the safety of the castle again. Although besides Fang Zheng, the priestess, Huihui, and Ais were all in the castle, and Mai Lu and the others hadn't left. But the priestess and the others were adventurers, and they would go out to take on a mission every two or three days. Fang Zheng stayed here most of the time, but he would leave occasionally.

Apart from them, the others have basically no fighting power. Although Maine's father used to be a soldier and a squad leader, Maine is sure that with her father's strength, he might not even be able to beat Ais... It is questionable whether he can beat the priestess.

The rest are the helpless maids and children...

If anything happens...

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."

Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to not care about the safety of his own nest. In fact, Maine didn't know that there were three plunder ships monitoring and guarding them 24 hours a day in the space above their heads. It can be said that within a radius of several thousand meters around the castle, not even an ant could escape their surveillance.

If there was a group like the Witch Cult that wanted to do what they had done before in the castle, Fang Zheng could ensure that they would be cremated before they even got close to the castle.

Even my ashes are scattered for you.

Not to mention that Fang Zheng's specialized spells also include the defense system, which includes all kinds of barriers, shields, and anti-invisibility space blockades. It can be said that although from the outside, this is just a five-star hotel with an antique castle structure, in fact, the interior is much more strict than a military fortress.

For Fang Zheng, there was nothing special about this trip out to kill time.

But soon, Fang Zheng found that his life had changed.

"Hello, Master."

The red-haired girl and the blue-haired girl in maid costumes stood respectfully in front of Fang Zheng's bed. Looking at the two girls in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head and sat up.

"You don't need to get up so early, and there's no need to do this..."

"Because we are Master Fangzheng's maids."

Facing Fang Zheng's words, the two of them answered in unison, and Fang Zheng was speechless.

That's right, since arriving at the castle, these two girls named Ram and Rem took the initiative to apply to become Fang Zheng's maids, and they were actually accepted by Qi Yalei. Perhaps because the three of them were all rescued by Fang Zheng, they all have a sense of mutual sympathy.

It was a bit depressing for Fang Zheng.

Although Xia Shi and the others also do jobs similar to those of maids in Tiandao Palace, the most they do is help with cleaning, making breakfast, lunch and dinner, washing clothes, etc., which are things that every family member will do.

But here, I don’t know how Qiare taught them, but Ram and Rem almost wanted to take care of everything from head to toe. For example, when Fang Zheng got up in the morning, they had to change Fang Zheng’s clothes, help Fang Zheng brush his teeth and wash his face, and then prepare breakfast for Fang Zheng. They almost took the initiative to feed Fang Zheng... This was really speechless.

Fang Zheng had said that he didn't need these services, but the two little girls just wouldn't listen, and every time they would say in unison, "Because we are Lord Fang Zheng's maids"...

"Oh, forget it, there's nothing important to do today."

Fang Zheng sat up and started to change his clothes. Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Ram spoke hurriedly.

"Master, Miss Maine is going to discuss the situation of the papermaking industry and the establishment of Maine Workshop with the Chamber of Commerce today... She said she will report to you after she comes back. Miss Huihui hopes you will take her to cast the explosion magic, and Miss Ais wants to have extra training with you at noon. Miss Mailu said she has something important to discuss with you, if you have time, you can... ahem..."

Having said that, Ram suddenly coughed a few times.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

Looking at Ram's expression, Fang Zheng frowned, while Ram shook his head.

"It's nothing, Master Fang Zheng, I just feel a little unwell..."

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng saw Ram's body shaking, then he suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

"elder sister!"

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Fang Zheng hurriedly walked forward and held Ram in his arms. To his surprise, Ram's condition was quite bad at the moment. It seemed as if his vitality was constantly draining away. However, Fang Zheng checked carefully and did not find any disease or curse on Ram.

What's going on? Is there some hidden story behind this?

"Rem, do you know what's going on?"

"Hey? Master Fang Zheng, don't you know?"

Rem seemed a little surprised by Fang Zheng's question.

"My sister and I are from the ghost tribe..."

"Ghost tribe? I'm not sure, what does this have to do with Ram's current situation?"

"Yes, that's right..."

Rem lowered her head.

"We, the demon tribe, have horns since birth, and we need to absorb magic from the horns to maintain our health. But my sister's horn was cut off on that day... when the witch cult attacked the village..."

"ah……!"

When Rem said this, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that he did see a cut-like wound on Ram's head. At that time, Fang Zheng was wondering if there was something growing on Ram's head or if she was accidentally scratched. Now it seems that there really is something!

"So, without the horn, Ram has no way to absorb magic power to sustain himself?"

"Yes... Lord Fang Zheng, if this continues, I'm afraid my sister won't be able to hold on for much longer..."

"So that means I need to replenish my magic power... huh? Replenish my magic power?"

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng was stunned.

Make up for the magic?

Come to think of it, I only seem to know one way to replenish my magic power!
