"Hide? I'm afraid he won't!" Selena shook her head, "If you know how he got to the second level, you wouldn't have such an idea."

"What's the meaning?"

"He is very family-oriented," Selena said. "Unless he can take everyone with him, he will not abandon his men!"

"Ha?" Nitia asked with a questioning look on her face, "A demon can actually be loyal and affectionate?"

"That's his personality!" Selena said.

"Then it seems that I can only talk about this later..." Nitia lowered her head and thought.

………………………………………

Regarding the city lord's family being destroyed, Nom did not stand up and said that he did it himself, although this was something that many people could think of.

But if you really have to stand up and admit it actively, that is the stupidest thing in the world, so Nom would not do this.

So I thought it was like everyone else. Instead, I sent someone to find a good place in my own field and prepared to experiment with what Dikao said about the greenhouse.

The glass was shipped, but Dikao only gave a rough plan for how to set the shelves and how to make them. For the specific details, Norm needs to experiment with them himself.

So in the next few days, Noum discussed with the craftsmen how to do this greenhouse in his own fields.

However, others can think that they don’t know, but the municipal administration cannot.

The city lord was killed so much that it was impossible to suppress it. He had to get along with him as soon as possible.

So after three days of confusion, the municipal administration decided to have a meal with Edward, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.

No one knew the result of this meal, but the city manager got up early the next morning and went out.

...

While discussing with the craftsmen in the field about how to make a greenhouse, the housekeeper came behind Nom.

"Master, the municipal administration officer is here and says something is wrong."

"Hiss..." Nom touched the back of his head with a sore face and said to himself, "It's still here..."

There was no way, and the municipal administrator had to give him face, so he had to ask the housekeeper to take him to the guest room. After changing his clothes, Norm quickly met the guests.

...

"Mr. Inman, long time no see!"

"Your Excellency suddenly came over and didn't prepare any hospitality. It's really..." Nom walked into the living room with a smile.

"Just Mr. Inman just call me Nathan!"

"I'm the same, just call Nom!" The two of them sat on the chair with a few words of politeness to each other.

"May I ask, is there anything you need to ask me?" Nomu asked knowingly.

Nathan forced a smile and said, "I believe you should have heard of the city lord's family being destroyed..."

"Oh, it's so pitiful..." Nom shook his head with regret.

"Who said no..." Nathan also had a sad expression on his face, "But now that things have happened, we must also ensure the city's operation..."

"Yes..." Nom nodded, picked up the cup to drink tea, without any desire to continue the topic.

"As for the temporary city lord, I wonder if Mr. Norm has any recommended candidates?" Nathan asked with his head raised.

Norm squinted his eyes, not knowing what the other party meant.

Strictly speaking, the royal family in this world is not a highly centralized type, and most places are dominated by autonomy.

The reason why the previous city lord was the city lord was because he had a title, and his fiefdom was the sacred city.

You don’t need to accept the emperor’s jurisdiction. As long as you give enough taxes to the royal family every year, you have the final say in everything else.

This world is such a pattern.

But now that the city lord is dead and his son is dead, and no one inherits his title, then the Holy City will no longer be anyone's fiefdom.

In this case, according to regulations, the local government will recommend a new temporary city lord until it becomes the fief of the next noble.

The municipal administrator cannot be the city lord because he is an official sent by the emperor, and his main purpose is nothing more than to monitor the city lord and not rebel.

His salary was paid by the emperor, which was a constraint on the local nobles.

"This..." Nome lowered his head and looked at the tea in the cup, "I am just a businessman, and I can't speak such things. But Mr. Nathan has been an official here for many years, so who are good candidates?"

"I've asked President Edward, and he recommended to me Mr. Norm, you are the temporary city lord." Nathan said.

Norm was stunned. This was something he had never expected.

That old fox Edward actually recommended himself? What does it mean? Is it really support or praise?

Thinking of this, Nom couldn't help but lower his head and think.

Nathan didn't say anything, but just picked up the cup to drink water.

Edward's meaning was very clear last night. He could recommend Norm to be the temporary city lord, but when asked about the reason, he was silent and avoiding the important things.

This attitude made Nathan feel a little confused, and even from Edward's attitude, he seemed a little... scared?

What Nathan didn't know was that since Norm took them to the Magic Realm to dig minerals last time, his status in the Chamber of Commerce has been increasing day by day.

After all, he found a new business with the Chamber of Commerce.

But it is not difficult for anyone to guess that Nome must have defected to the Demon King, and this is not a difficult thing to guess at all.

Although I don’t know why the Demon King wants to do business, he can make money, and the people in the chamber of commerce didn’t say anything.

But now when it comes to this matter, if Nom has fallen in love with the city lord, if they recommend others, I don’t know if Nom will be held a grudge against him and then become the next one.

Nathan respects these local snakes more. After all, these people give him a lot of benefits every year, so their opinions are very important.

The contemplative Nom suddenly thought of a question, and this might not be an opportunity.

So what if I praise you? The one who is really loyal to you is not the emperor or the city lord, but the devil!

So even if someone really praises him, will Dikao allow it?

Thinking of this, Nom showed a relaxed smile, "I really didn't expect that everyone respects me so much. Since that's the case, why don't I try it?"

"That's the best!" Nathan nodded with a smile.

………………………………………

"Selina, why do you look so depressed?"

In a tavern in Hesler, Lyon looked at Selena, who was somewhat lost on the opposite side.

"The priest died. He grew up with me, but I did not protect him..." Selena lowered her head.

"Oh, you can't blame me for this. After all, no one would have thought that the Demon King would walk out of his territory..." Lyon shook his head.

"Lyon, I'm actually quite scared..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of the devil!" Selena shook her head, "Now he is already at the second level, but I am still at the first level. If I go to attack him again, I'm not sure at all."

"this……"

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of meaningless sacrifice." Selena looked disappointed, "What if..."

"Don't worry, you've just been injured. The Emperor won't let you attack the Demon King so soon." Lyon shook his head, "He can't send his army to the battlefield where he will die."

"But I don't know what kind of person the next priest is." Selena said, "The church has good deeds to me, if the church...

Speaking of this, Selena didn't say anything anymore, but just picked up the cup helplessly and poured half a cup of ale.

"This is indeed a problem..." Lyon nodded with his arms crossed his chest, "It is logical that the next priest will be promoted from the existing personnel, but considering that the priest was attacked by the devil king, it is not impossible to airborne directly..."

"Oh..." Selena seemed to be talking to herself, "It would be great if Lyon, you were the priest. Now I am the only one who is closest to me in the church..."

"Hmm?" Lyon raised his head.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean that." Selena waved her hand quickly, "It's just... we have been together for so long, and sometimes I always feel that it's very safe to be with you..."

"Is that true?" Lyon smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely be with you all the time!"

"But if a priest thinks that there is something wrong with our combination and wants to replace you..." Selena's face was a little worried, "If possible, I don't want to partner with others. I have become accustomed to your existence for so many years..."

"Selina, you..." Lyon felt as if he had captured some signal at this moment.

"Ah, nothing!" Selena stood up, "I know you are not a person who likes to play with power. You must think that is very troublesome, right? Sorry, I'll go back first today..."

As he said that, he turned around and walked out.

"Ah, I'll give you it!" Lyon also stood up.

"No, if my family misunderstood..." Selena shook her head and left quickly.

"Family misunderstanding?" Lyon behind was stunned, then took a deep breath, "Can it be..."

...

After Selena returned home, Layla knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mother, is there anything wrong?" asked Selena, who was about to lie down to rest.

"Selina, why not..." Layla was a little confused, "The brave... don't do it, right?"

"Hmm?" Selena was stunned, "What does it mean?"

"You are too serious this time!" Layla squatted in front of Selena, holding her hand, her eyes a little wet, "The Demon King is so terrifying, but you have to face such an existence often... The price is too high. I don't want you to come back from being injured like this in the future. I'm afraid that one day..."

Layla did not continue to say it, but shed two lines of clear tears and buried her head between her daughter's legs. Her voice trembled, "It's too dangerous to be a brave man. Selena, I'm afraid every time you go to war..."

Layla hugged Selena's waist in a crying voice, her shoulders twitching.
