Chapter 283 Norra (2)

The Lizards led Norra to a rather large house, however, inside there was only a table and a few chairs.

"You should wait here for now, Shala will come soon." One lizard said.

"Who is Shala?" Norra asked, confused.

"Shala is someone who deals with immigration issues like yours." The Lizard said this and went to the guard's door, as if he didn't want to talk to Norra much.

She also didn't say anything more, she sat still on the chair, opened the chat interface of the system, and contacted Tyne.

…

[Norra: What are you doing? Is everything okay?]

Five minutes passed, and Tyne still didn't text back, making Norra feel a little uneasy.

Norra decided to send another text message.

[Norra: Tyne! What's going on?]

Moments later, Tyne answered.

[Tyne: I'm here! Norra, something is wrong, the food has run out, there's nothing left.]

[Norra: What the hell? When I left, I left you a lot of food, there is no way the food has run out.]

[Tyne: That's also the problem we're facing. Norra, there was a traitor among the group of women you saved, she announced our location to the others.

Those people came to my location, but I exchanged food with the others, then led the rest to hide somewhere else.]

When Norra heard that, she was immediately confused. She did not think that those women who were tortured to the point of almost losing their will to survive would still betray her.

She was the one who saved them, so why would they betray her?

Norra didn't understand.

[Norra: What is your current situation?]

[Tyne: There is nothing to worry about for the time being, I have found another place to hide, however, the food is almost gone, it's just enough to last a day.]

[Norra: Don't worry, I've arrived in the Void Lord's territory, everything seems to be fine here. I will try to convince them to come save you.]

[Tyne: Norra, do you have any food left?]

[Norra: I will tell you the truth, now I have no more food. I gave you all the food I had before I left, I only kept enough to eat for 3 days.]

[Tyne: Norra, sorry…]

[Norra: Haizz, it's not your fault, what are you apologising for? Don't worry, I'll figure it out. You also have to be careful, we can't rule out the possibility that one of the remaining women will betray you.]

[Tyne: Norra, I think…]

[Norra: Tyne, don't say that. I know you mean that we should get rid of those women, but my conscience won't allow it.

Tyne, I'm a cop. Whether on Earth or in this world, I will not abandon anyone who is in trouble.]

[Tyne: I know I can't change your mind, I just hope it doesn't matter.]

[Norra: Thank you, Tyne.]

…

Norra closed the chat interface, she felt extremely confused and tired. Although Norra also guessed that there would be traitors among the women she saved, she still wanted to believe in humanity again.

But this time she was still deceived.

If Nora was asked if she regretted saving those women, she would readily answer 'No'. It was her will, she was not forced by anyone, and even though she knew that there was a chance of someone betraying her, she would still save them.

Norra recalled that when she worked at the police station, she was often scolded by her superiors, and her colleagues also often told her that she was a stupid cop.

That's right, it's because she believed in so-called humanity that she was deceived so much. Even though she was very careful, she was still deceived in the end.

However, Norra never regretted it, perhaps no matter how much she was deceived, she always thought that she herself was fit to be a cop.

At this moment, there was a girl at the door, she was dressed like the country girls of mediaeval Europe.

She had brown hair that was braided in the back, and her face was a little freckled, but this did not make her less beautiful.

That girl talked to the lizards for a while and then entered. Norra also hurriedly stood up to show her respect.

"Hi, I'm Norra. Sorry to bother you at night like this." "But it's urgent, I can't wait any longer," said Norra, with an apologetic look on her face.

Shala nodded and said: "This is our first time meeting, you can call me Shala. I don't know what's going on with you, but could you please be clear?"

Norra nodded, the two sat down at the table, and then she told the whole story.

Shala nodded after hearing that: "So… you mean you want to borrow our army to rescue those girls?"

Norra nodded, "That's right. I know this is impossible, but I hope you can help me. I can't just sit back and watch those girls die."

Shala was silent for a moment, she then tilted her head to look at her and said, "Norra, you also know that what you just said seems impossible."

"Think about it, would anyone risk their life to save those women in a fog like this? Besides, if they don't have the will to live after they're saved, are they any different from humanoid dolls?"

"We have to sacrifice our troops to save them, while there are no benefits, aren't you thinking too simplistically?"

Shala's words caused Norra to lower her head, her face full of shame.

That's right, why should other people risk their lives to save those women when they don't have any value.

Norra was silent. Shala continued: "Norra, you must at least show me what you can offer me."

Norra looked up at Shala when she heard that and said, "Of course I have something to trade. May I ask if this territory has its own set of laws?"

"laws?" Shala said: "The law has not been established yet, but I think in the near future the lord will..."

"I can do it."

"Heh?!" Shala was a little startled when she saw Norra stand up. She looked her straight in the eyes and spoke.

"Shala, I can do it. I can create a fairly complete set of laws for the territory, besides, since I was a policeman before, I can create a policing system for this territory." Norra spoke with great confidence.

Shala frowned upon hearing that, then thought for a long time. Norra looked at Shala thoughtfully, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

In fact, Norra wasn't too confident that Shala would agree. Anyway, the laws of each country would be different, even if this place were in a different world, the laws would be extremely different.

This place was filled with magic and unpredictable things, Norra didn't know if the laws of Earth could be applied in this place or not.

However, she couldn't give up. At the very least, Norra wanted to try everything before giving up.

Shala thought for a moment and then said, "Sorry, we can't decide on this. Well then… rest here first, tomorrow I'll let you meet the lord."

Norra said happily, "Thank you!"

Shala smiled and said: "Don't thank me, whether the Lord agrees or not is another matter. For now, you can rest in this house. There's also an empty bedroom upstairs, so you can choose one at your own discretion."

Norra nodded.

When Shala heard that, she nodded: "That's right. The Void Lord is also the one who dispelled the fog of this world, and allowed the people to see the beauty of the sky, and feel the warmth of the sun."

"In this place, the Void Lord is god himself, I hope you won't do anything disrespectful to him."

Norra nodded: "Of course."

After Shala finished speaking, she left, Norra watched Shala's back disappear behind the door and sighed.

This was Norra's first time communicating with the inhabitants of this world, or NPCs, so to speak. Anyway,  Norra already thought that the Void Lord was an NPC of the system, so she thought Shala was also an NPC.

"It turns out that the NPC is also a normal, independent thinker, not a walking machine." Norra muttered, then went upstairs to find a room and enter.

The room did not have many items, only a table by the window, a chair, and a bed.

Norra didn't rush to the bed, but instead she sat on the chair, her stomach growling because she hadn't eaten today, as she had left all her food to Tyne anyway.

The feeling of hunger hit her, and this made her miss Earth a little. If she were on Earth now, she would just need a phone call to order pizza, and that would be enough to fill her stomach.

However, this was Misty World, where countless people died from starvation. Therefore, she felt lucky that she didn't have to die of hunger, and that she was still able to endure the hunger.

Norra consoled herself: "Do your best, just endure it tonight, tomorrow, after meeting the Void Lord, everything will be different."

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, startling Norra. She asked, "Who is that?"

"It's me, Shala." Shala's voice came from outside the door.

When Norra heard that, she hurried to the door and opened it. She saw Shala carrying a tray, and on the tray was a plate of cakes.

Shala laughed and said: "Now Nekomaly is resting, there are only cakes in the kitchen. Tomorrow there will be more suitable dishes."

Norra was startled. She looked at the cakes on the plate, and she felt extremely happy. This was her first time seeing cakes in this world.

Shala, who was puzzled, asked: "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Ah! Master once said, a woman can't eat a lot of sweets at night, or she would get fat."

Norra hastily shook her head: "No, it's not. I just feel a little nostalgic because it's been a long time since I last saw a cake."

"Good, then you should eat, I'll see you tomorrow."

Norra nodded, took the tray from Shala's hand, and then bowed her head once more to thank Shala.

Norra entered the room, sat on a chair, and ate her cake while looking at the sky through the window.

At this moment, Norra had never felt that a cake was so delicious, and never before had she felt that the night sky was so beautiful.
