Chapter 81 on(1/2)

At noon that day, Erica had a hearty meal of delicious wild boar at Liz's place. Miss Lisa used almost all her skills to make use of every edible part of the wild boar.

The whole meal was really hearty for everyone, and due to the absence of Aurora, Erica enjoyed two plump pork legs alone.

In fact, Erica herself was surprised by this. In short, since being "resurrected" by Severna, Erica felt that she was inexplicably good at eating, and her appetite had at least doubled, but in the past few days, Erica felt that she was very good at eating.

She didn't pay much attention to this matter, so Erica just regarded it as some kind of physiological reaction caused by her strong appetite. But the meal at noon today frightened her. She felt a strange appetite.

Under the influence, Erica ate an amount of food that far exceeded her stomach capacity. Although others were aware of the problem, they did not dare to ask. After all, they did not treat her as an ordinary human being, and when Erica

When she reacted, she found that it was already too late, because nearly half of the wild boar's meat had entered Erica's belly. But the problem was that no matter how much she ate, she would not feel any pressure in her stomach, as if

It seemed strange that the food she ate was instantly digested into nutrients. But just in case, Erica asked Norma to check her body, but the result was that her body was surprisingly healthy, even

Far beyond the level of normal people.

After struggling for a long time with no clue, everyone could only attribute this result to Severna. Anyway, no one could think of any other reasons besides Liz and Puffy.

No one knew that Erica had been resurrected, because everyone at the scene was threatened by Aurora to keep silent. After all, "resurrection" is not a casual thing. In short, everyone who gave a false alarm quickly

The cheerful atmosphere of the past was restored, but then the atmosphere was reversed because of Erica's words.

This does not refer to everyone, but to Miss Lisa who has just returned from an outing. After the meal, she went out and sold the slightly flawed wild boar skin, along with the complete pig teeth and picked bones, to a nearby store.

The extra income made Lisa, who likes to be diligent and thrifty, very happy. But after she happily purchased a large amount of dinner ingredients and returned, she happened to hear that Ali

Ka asked Liz and the others to pack their luggage and move, and then before anyone could react, Miss Lisa forced a smile and offered to help pack and leave the living room, and the moment she turned around to leave,

The tears flashing in her eyes were still noticed by Erica.

In Erica's impression, Miss Lisa seemed to really like the Liz sisters, especially Polly, who was not developing normally. Miss Lisa treated her almost like a real mother and took good care of her. Before

At that time, due to some reasons, Erica just regarded her as a child-loving character, but now it seems that Miss Lisa has devoted her true love to the sisters from the beginning, but this is a headache, because

At this moment, Erica suddenly felt like a villain who forcibly broke up a family.

And just when Erica had a headache, she discovered that she was not the only one at the scene. It seemed that except for Puffy, who was a complete outsider, and the ignorant Polly, everyone else seemed to be with Miss Lisa.

The moment she left, she understood what was going on. Especially Norma. She and Miss Lisa are good friends, so Erica felt that she must have known about it from the beginning, but for some reason she never told everyone

As mentioned before, even at this time, Erica found that her eyes were still a little wandering, as if she was very entangled in this but helpless.

But in any case, moving is still a certainty. After all, Liz and Puffy have become Erica's "subordinates". Considering the underground religious gangs that have been somewhat restless recently, Erica will not plan it anyway.

Leaving the two of them who have been "labeled" by outsiders outside...at least not now. Besides, I have communicated with them about moving before, and got their approval. Of course.

Puffy fully agreed from the beginning. After all, she had no other place to go, and she was invited by Diana. But Liz’s situation was slightly different. She did hesitate at first, but that was

It was an inner problem. After all, there was still some friction between Erica and her, and her sister Nancy died at the hands of Diana. It was reasonable for her to be wary of Erica and Diana.

They are all normal behaviors. However, due to Aurora's intervention, Liz still agreed to come to Erica under her guidance. After all, Erica needs the two of them now, and they also need to accept more "professional

"tactical training.

No one doesn't want to become stronger, especially those who have been "injured" like the two of them. And there is another point that everyone has seen through but doesn't say clearly. Over there are these two people.

They got along inexplicably, and even tended to rely on each other. So after Puffy agreed to go to Erica's place, Liz also half-heartedly wanted to go there.

In short, after the moving matter was finalized, Erica asked others to follow Miss Lisa to pack their luggage, and she herself used the excuse of visiting Chris to bring Norma, who was not on duty today.

left because she felt she needed to know something from Norma.

"Lisa's past?" Norma was very surprised by my question.

"Yes." Erica said while strolling on the busy street: "Lisa's care for Polly has gone beyond the scope of a nanny. I think something must have happened to her in the past... I want to give her

To untie this knot, I'm afraid we have to understand her past first..."

After hearing this, Norma nodded silently, but she still hesitated and did not agree. At the same time, Erica also noticed her subtle expression, so she quickly explained: "Of course, if some individuals are involved,

Forget it, after all, everyone has a past that they don’t want others to know..."

"Thank you, but I think even if you ask Lisa about this kind of thing, she will tell you personally..." Norma walked a little leisurely, then followed Erica and whispered: "Actually, she

She didn't realize that her care for Polly was actually replacing her with her late sister Sarah."

When Erica heard "deceased", she roughly understood what was going on. It was too common for her to miss her deceased relatives and place them on similar people, but the problem was how to comfort Lisa.

Where's the happy knot?

"Erica, you don't actually need to interfere in this matter. Lisa is actually very sober. She is not immersed in the sadness of the past because she is stronger than anyone else." Norma said with confidence: "She

It’s just that she couldn’t turn her head around for a while. After all, she does like to take care of little Polly, but Polly is not a substitute for Sarah.”

"Okay... since you said so..." Erica nodded and agreed to Norma, but before she could take a few steps forward, she remembered another question about Lisa, so she took the opportunity to

Asked: "Speaking of which, I felt strange a long time ago. Lisa...is from a noble family, right?"

"Uh... yes." Norma nodded and said, "I was indeed a noble..."

"It used to be... No wonder." Erica said with relief: "I have always been curious about why she is a maid instead of a lady. I heard someone say before that ladies from noble families cannot be maids..."

"Ah, this... this... is a bit complicated." Norma felt a little embarrassed, and then replied sheepishly: "The Perrin family used to be a small aristocracy, and Lisa was also with Miss Chris at that time.

She was working as a lady. But a few years ago, Lisa's father sold the family territory because of a failed investment. The Perrin family who sold the territory still failed to pay off their debts, so they were deprived of their noble title not long after..."

Erica nodded silently after listening. This situation is really a classic case in ancient and modern times, because as far as he knows, this kind of thing often happens on the earth in the 21st century. So the decline of Lisa's family is not

Erica was somewhat relieved if there were any grievances such as blood feud. Anyway, this kind of ending is not too bad for a family. The family property is gone but the family is still there. This is better than anything else. It’s just...

…Norma said before that Lisa’s sister Sarah passed away…

"Sarah...is this at this time?" Erica asked abruptly.

"Uh...yes. Sarah Sarah became seriously ill after her family was broken up. As a result, the Perrin family couldn't come up with the money to treat her..." Nora nodded very tangledly, and then replied sadly: "Back then,

After Lisa heard about this, she betrayed her qualifications as a lady...but she still finished the step. Sarah's body was too weak, and she died before Lisa could return with the medicine."

"...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to do it." Erica quickly apologized to Norma because she felt that Norma seemed unwilling to talk about it.

"It's okay... everything has passed, and Lisa won't care about it." Nora quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then smiled at Erica.

"Okay...but I still have a little question..." Erica paused and then asked: "What did you mean when you said she sold out her qualifications as a lady? Can such a thing be used?

Do you want to sell it? Chris agrees?"

"This..." Norma looked at me very surprised after hearing this, as if I asked her something that lacked common sense. But fortunately, she quickly understood that I really didn't understand, so she just said a little bit.

He replied awkwardly: "This kind of thing is very common in the aristocratic circle. Usually only the cronies of the big nobles or the children of the powerful little noble families are qualified to be ladies for the big noble families, and the number of ladies that each noble class has is

It is limited, so competing for and buying and selling qualifications is very common, but everyone usually buys and sells qualifications in the form of interest exchange... It is very rare to buy and sell qualifications with money like Lisa did... even

Behavior that is despised.”

"Oh...I understand." After listening to Erica's answer, Erica just regarded this matter as some kind of weird bonding method among the nobles, but she still noticed it from some of Norma's words.

There was something unusual, so she asked again: "Does it seem that your relationship with Chris is unusual?"

"Yes. Although it may sound a bit arrogant to others, the three of us are indeed good friends who grew up together." Norma replied with some embarrassment.

Erica could see a little pride in the other person's expression. It can be imagined how much Miss Norma valued this difficult relationship. But this also explained why Erica had always felt strange.

, because when Diana was chatting with her, she mentioned the interesting anecdote about Chris taking a maid with him when he went out, but Erica didn't realize how interesting this thing was at the time, but today she finally understood

What exactly is going on.

In short, it is said that the children of noble families always take their ladies with them when they go out, but they never take maids with them. After all, maids are commoners. To put it harshly, they are just servants in the family. Taking a maid with them is nothing more.

It's a shameful thing. But Chris doesn't care about this. In addition to a large number of ladies, Lisa is always accompanied by a very special maid in her traveling team, so this matter seems particularly special in the eyes of outsiders.

Interesting now.

Norma didn't lie. Now in Erica's view, Norma's relationship with Lisa and Chris is indeed unusual. You must know that these three people are not in the same class, but the three of them have formed a relationship of interest and identity.

Even Erica, who has different values ​​​​from other friends, thinks this is a valuable thing.

The two chatted all the way towards the city hall, which was the official renaming of the former Baron Ronan's residence. After a thorough overhaul, this house, which was once used to hide dirt and evil, was

The mansion was transformed into a brand new administrative building, and the old aristocratic area that originally surrounded it was renovated into various new building complexes, while the original local Lorde class landowners moved to the north side of the city.

The new aristocratic district, but these people cannot choose areas close to the city center, because those places are occupied by large foreign aristocrats, but these low-level aristocrats are not without some benefits, after all, their old

The homesteads were all sold for a considerable amount of money. In other words, they made a lot of money this time.

Erica followed Norma and stepped into this newly built inner city again. The wooden walls that originally surrounded this place had long been demolished and replaced with beautiful and charming flowers and shrubs, and the shabby wooden attics inside had also been renovated.

It has become a variety of large stone and brick buildings. In addition to some administrative buildings, there are also some very luxurious consumption places. But the most eye-catching one is a huge tree house closest to the city hall.

Norma explained that it turned out to be Merrigil's embassy. It seemed that the previous peace talks had ended, and the two sides had reached a good agreement.

"...Oh, that elf is actually acting alone? Huh? It looks familiar, as if he was a member of the previous ranger team..." Erica strolled on this new street with a sense of sightseeing, and

She unexpectedly discovered that there were many Meryl Gil elves shopping on the streets here.

"Actually, they only boldly came out to the street after you came back that day, including the previous negotiations. It had not been smooth before, but everything changed when the team that went to support the ruins came back." Norma also said.

He secretly looked at every passing elf with great curiosity and then said: "The matriarch changed her attitude almost the same day and spent the whole afternoon signing an agreement with Miss Chris. Then that night the elves were very excited.

They were open to play on the streets..."

"Is there any surprise? I've heard before that many slave trading groups have sneaked into this place..." Erica asked worriedly.

"Yes, and quite a few." Norma replied with a wry smile: "Several elves who were alone were kidnapped that night, but none of the slave traders left the city alive..."

"What's going on?" Erica asked in confusion.
To be continued...
