Just now, he discovered a fact that surprised him.

There was a power flowing through Grace that made his hair stand on end.

Even though there was armor between them, Louis still felt a burning sensation when he shook hands with her.

"The blessing of the God of Glory and Justice?"

Louis couldn't think of many reasons other than this.

As the god who has waged the most wars with the Abyss in the history of the stars, the Church of the God of Glory and Justice has always been the main force in suppressing the abyss.

Perhaps because of their hatred for the Abyss, the grace of this church has an increased damage effect on demons.

Originally, Louis thought that Grace would receive the blessing of God and become the Libra Saint, but that was something that would happen later.

But now it seems that Grace may have already received God's gift during this period, but she just hasn't discovered it yet.

This is quite interesting.

Louis and his companions sat on old chairs.

Louis was the first to ask the question:

"Besides the demons, what other beings will be affected by the gift of the God of Glory and Justice?"

William said without hesitation:

"Demons from the Abyss, devils from the Nine Hells, undead from Hades...

All groups that disrupt order and spread chaos are enemies of the God of Justice."

Alice asked curiously, "Why are you asking this? It has nothing to do with this exploration."

"Of course it does!"

Louis muttered to himself.

But I'm afraid only he can connect this relationship.

Because he had a not-so-good guess.

That was Grace's family of three. In the end, only Grace survived. Was it because Grace was lucky enough not to be killed by the monster, or...

The monster has no way of killing her?

If it is the former, then Louis might really be able to see the first wave of monsters rushing down from the Smoking Mountains this time.

If it's the latter...

That’s a big problem!

Because most monsters are not actually restrained by the gift of the God of Glory and Justice.

The monster that attacked their family was interesting.

Louis temporarily suppressed this doubt in his heart.

At this time, it started to drizzle outside the house.

Grace was packing her things outside the house.

The female hooligan Alice went over to help bring some clothes into the house, and teased the pretty little country girl at the same time.

Grace ran back and forth between the kitchen and the door. She was sweating a little, her cheeks were slightly red, and her hanging hair stuck to her face.

She scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and only hid her uneasy look when she returned to the kitchen to continue cooking for them.

Louis and the others were sitting on the side of the kitchen.

I happened to see her processing some wild game ingredients on the chopping board. Her long eyelashes swayed slightly, and her peach blossom eyes, as clear as spring water, looked intently at the iron pot.

She was really serious about preparing the best food her family could produce for a few people.

"Try this first. I just picked some mushrooms today."

Grace whispered that she had no idea how to deal with these people.

Louis looked at the chopping board and whispered, "What dish are you going to serve?"

"ah?"

Grace looked up in confusion and looked at Louis.

Louis saw her getting closer, subconsciously moved his body, and then patiently said: "What ingredients will you use for the next dish?"

"The specialty of the Dragon Bone Grassland... the giant grassland rats, they are vegetarians.

It’s very clean and many people like to eat there. ”

Grace said softly.

Alice, who was eating mushrooms with gusto, stopped with her fork.

William also raised his head and looked at the chopping board thoughtfully.

Grace seemed to understand something and said shyly:

Louis said calmly, "No, serve the food."

"oh."

The ignorant Grace nodded obediently.

…

Soon, the table was filled with farm-style dishes.

Stir-fried wild vegetables.

Stir-fried mushrooms.

Stir-fried prairie giant rat meat.

Mushroom soup.

Rice covered with臊子.

Looking at Grace's breathless expression, Louis looked at the other two:

"What are you looking at me for? Pick up some food!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of rat meat, lifted his helmet and took a bite.

Seeing this, Alice also started to take action:

"Sister Grace's cooking skills are pretty good!"

After taking a bite of the stir-fried meat, she laughed and said, "Caesar, do you regret it? Last time in the sewers of the imperial capital, you shouldn't have just killed all the prairie mice."

Louis shook his head. “Are you kidding? The moment they enter the sewer, they are no longer on the menu.”

William vaguely saw Louis' intention to eat first, and he started eating without caring.

Just kidding, when he was in the imperial capital, his favorite thing to eat was giant prairie rat meat.

"Just think of yourself as an adventurer now. Yes, His Majesty Louis will surely want me to act more realistically."

So he put down his fork faster.

I'm eating eat eat.jpg Louis scooped a spoonful of the mushroom soup slowly, lifted a small piece of armor, and drank the soup leisurely.

He said, "You sit down and eat too."

Grace shook her head with an effort.

"Just sit down if you're told to. We won't eat anyone."

Grace finally sat down. Her hands looked a little red under her tattered clothes.

Louis didn't mind the trouble and would open the lid of his helmet every time he took a bite.

After drinking the mushroom soup, I picked up a few slices of mushrooms and wild vegetables.

I ate it for a few minutes and then stopped.

Except for the first bite, I never touched the rat meat again.

In fact, he is the one who has a taboo against rat meat.

It was not until this moment that Grace realized something, and her crystal clear peach eyes turned red.

When Louis turned to look at her, she lowered her head again.

What Louis didn't notice was that there was another person next to him, who was secretly looking at him even when he was showing off the prairie rat meat.

"Your Majesty, is this why you asked me to protect him?"

At this time, looking at the few people who had finished their meal, Louis suddenly said: "The appearance of giant grassland rats in the sewers of the imperial capital is a bit problematic."

Alice said lazily:

"I want you to say more, but I didn't expect this trip to change so much."

William also nodded: "Captain, the probability of there being a sapphire dragonlet in the Dragon Bone Grassland has further increased."

Louis also said in a deep voice: "The prairie rats' nests are mainly underground. The prairie rats, which are active in families, have left their habitats in large numbers and run to the sewers of the imperial capital."

"I'm afraid that something has come from the darkness beneath this land that they can't resist at all."

Alice put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked up. Her original unruly, wild cat-like expression was now only cruel: "For example, a baby sapphire dragon!"

Her kukri wanted to drink blood.

Louis nodded, "Yes, for example, a baby sapphire dragon."

Then he added in his mind: "But it may not just be a sapphire dragonet."
