"Hurry up, the city is about to fall."

A carriage suddenly stopped in front of Emilia.

Someone in the carriage reached out his hand to her. He was handsome, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He had long green hair, but was wearing men's clothes.

Faced with such an invitation, Emilia responded decisively. She held the other person's hand and was pulled into the carriage.

There were three people in the carriage.

The two men were about the same age as Emilia, and there was only an older man driving in the front.

He looks like a coachman, but his attire makes him look more like a butler.

He was wearing a neat dress, but what was noticeable was the weapon on his waist.

The two people sitting in the carriage were, one was the one who stretched out his hand to her, and the other was a knight with cat ears and wearing women's clothing, who looked feminine but had no obvious features.

He's a weird guy, but there's no shortage of weird guys in this world.

At least from this point of view, Emilia probably belongs to this category.

"Um, can I ask your gender?"

Emilia said softly.

"I'm a man."

The Cat-Eared Knight was the first to answer. He seemed to have had many experiences in answering this question. He even spoke decisively when Emilia just asked the question.

"He is Felix, my knight."

The man who had held out his hand to Emilia earlier began to introduce himself.

"I'm Crusch. Don't look at me like this, I'm a woman. There's no special reason why I wear men's clothes. I just like this outfit."

he said again.

"But then again, being able to turn a city into this state is most likely the work of the Witch Cult. They always commit such atrocities."

Felix stuck his head out from behind the curtain and saw that the entire city had turned into a sea of ​​fire without him noticing.

There were people everywhere trying to escape, and the soldiers were trying to distance the crowd, but the fire was still spreading.

The temperature is still rising.

"Someone will naturally come to investigate this matter, but this is not something we need to worry about. We need to get back to the capital as soon as possible."

Crusch said.

"Okay, I know, I know."

Felix stuck out his tongue.

"May I ask why you returned to the kingdom's capital?"

Emilia’s eyes were suddenly drawn to the badge in Crusch’s hand.

At first she thought she was just rescued by a passerby, but she didn't expect that the other person's identity seemed not simple.

Because Emilia also has the same badge.

The badge for participating in the royal election means that they actually have the same identity.

Before they knew it, they had left the city limits.

It was almost time for them to tell each other their destinations and discuss where to stop and let Emilia go.

"It's to participate in the royal election. I'm also one of the candidates for the throne."

Crusch had no intention of hiding this, nor was there any need to hide it. As the heir to the kingdom, her identity would one day be revealed to the public.

"That's right."

A smile suddenly appeared on Emilia's face, and a bold idea gradually emerged in her heart.

She wanted to kill these guys, especially the one who was going to participate in the king selection with her.

Of course, the candidates can be said to be enemies and competitors, and killing them is certainly against the rules, but this is not the first time Emilia has done something against the rules.

It is the same now. She is becoming murderous as long as she can kill the other candidates.

Then Emilia will naturally be the winner in the end.

"Where do you want to get off?"

Kurushi asked.

"This is fine."

Emilia said softly.

"Is this place good enough?"

Crusch confirmed once more, and she looked around. There were mountains and forests nearby, and they were not even walking on the main road.

Crusch couldn't help but think that if he put her down here, she might be in danger.

"This is fine."

Emilia spoke again.

"Okay, be careful and protect yourself."

Of course, Crusch had no choice but to compromise, and she asked the coachman in front to stop the carriage.

Emilia smiled and waved to Crusch, watching the carriage go away.

Emilia also slowly accumulated magic power. The magic power surged in his hands. Everything around him seemed to be mobilized, and gorgeous colorful light bloomed in the sky.

The magic was about to be released, but Emilia noticed someone's gaze.

The coachman sitting in front of the carriage, the elderly man, and the guy with a weapon on his waist.

The moment Emilia used magic, she seemed to notice his gaze, and he seemed to be staring at her.

Emilia was a little panicked at first, as if her actions had been discovered.

But what kind of fighting power can an elderly person have?

Emilia couldn't help but comfort herself that maybe she had seen it wrong. The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and the magic had been accumulated.

The magic is about to fall in an instant, but in this moment.

A figure suddenly appeared and broke the magic Emilia had accumulated.

The man who had been bothering Emilia appeared in front of her again.

Before, she would always look back, but this time, before she looked back, Lin Yu had already arrived.

"why."

Emilia had a lot of questions to ask, such as why he appeared at this time and why he wanted to break her magic.

But Lin Yu appeared and grabbed her arm.

It seemed to be trying to stop her from making the next move.

"I'm not as violent as you think, and they're far away."

Emilia rolled her eyes.

It seemed that in this man's eyes, she was a complete murderer.

"I've always been behind you."

Lin Yu said softly.

"Well, I've been feeling a little...bad lately."

Emilia's face suddenly turned a little red, perhaps because of the temperature.

"Sin is not a mark that will be easily erased. Even time cannot erase it. One day you will regret it, and it will turn into an actual sword and pounce on you or something you care about."

Lin Yu said softly.

Lin Yu had no intention of blaming Emilia for what she did. That's how people with power behave.

And the powerless civilians will pay for their choices.

"I didn't expect that a guy like you would have such a compassionate side."

Emilia was surprised. "If you had used the magic just now, you would have been in big trouble. You would not be a match for that person."

"I had no intention of showing up. I just wanted to follow you to see what you would do and what path you would choose."

Lin Yu was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Why, are you disappointed?"

Emilia crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. Her expression, which had been gradually turning calm, seemed to become serious again.

Emilia said eagerly and turned around again. She was pretentious and arrogant.

"If I hadn't taken action, you would have died."

Lin Yu took a deep breath.

"Then don't follow me, let me bear what I should bear."

Emilia stamped her feet, then turned and walked forward.

It would be great if Lin Yu could really let go of Emilia, but he can't. Instead, his future self keeps reminding him that Emilia is an important person.

Lin Yu looked at Emilia's back and saw the same iconic reminder light flashing behind her again.

At this moment, in Crusch’s carriage, Felix and Crusch were talking about Emilia.

"Why would she get off at that place? There's obviously nothing there."

"Is she going back to the city? Maybe she's looking for her relatives?"

"That's too dangerous."

Crusch and Felix both expressed their concern for the silver-haired girl.

Although they met for a short time, they didn't even ask the girl's name.

But Crusch and Felix have kind hearts.

If I had known that she might do something dangerous, I should have stopped her earlier.

"No, she had no intention of accepting the offer. She got out of the car at that time because she wanted to attack us as quickly as possible."

The driver sitting in front of the carriage suddenly interrupted the conversation.

In fact, Crusch did not introduce the coachman to the silver-haired girl before because the journey they would meet might be short, and the old man himself was not a good communicator.

Although Crusch has always told others that his knight is Felix.

But when encountering danger, it is this old man who can really solve the problem.

Wilhelm van Astraea, although he does look old, his last name speaks volumes about how powerful he is.

People who are familiar with him usually call him Sword Ghost.

Reinhard is his grandson, famous throughout the world.

"really?"

Crusch couldn't help but feel surprised, but since it was the sword demon who said that, she had to believe it.

"But why did that girl do this? We clearly had no conflicts. We even saved her."

Felix couldn't help but say.

"I don't know about that either, but I clearly saw her using magic."

Sword Ghost said.

"Forget it. Since we're already far apart, I guess there won't be a chance for us to see each other again. Let's just do our own thing."

Crusch was silent for a moment.

If you keep thinking about the past, it will only end up trapping yourself.

Crusch has always been an open-minded person.

"Wait a minute, what is that?"

Felix suddenly pointed forward.

The sky in the distance suddenly became dark, and a large amount of moving smoke was moving towards their location.

The huge body was looming in the smoke. It was clearly daytime, but the sunlight was gradually disappearing.

The thick fog blocked all light, and a gloomy atmosphere permeated the earth.

Both Crusch and Felix became nervous.

Even the Sword Ghost had a look of fear on his face; they probably guessed what they were facing.

White whale, one of the three great magical beasts in the world.

The giant monster, which is over 50 meters long and symbolizes "gluttony", is known as the "White Whale of the Mist".

The natural disaster that came along with the fog was the nightmare of all merchants.

This is a neutral monster that will indiscriminately attack targets in its path.

At this moment, everyone in the carriage was within the target range of the white whale.

The sword ghost pulled the reins suddenly, turned the carriage around, and swung the whip hard.

The carriage was speeding up little by little, but by the time they saw the white whale, it might be too late to escape.

The huge body of the white whale cannot be seen in its entirety by the naked eye. As the fog approaches, the body begins to become increasingly terrifying.

The horses pulling the vehicle seemed to sense something and began to move out of control, causing the entire vehicle to shake.

Crusch and Felix tried their best to keep themselves steady, but they knew that running away might be meaningless.

Crusch moved closer, wanting to see the specific situation of the white whale.

Both she and Felix had certain fighting abilities, but the moment they leaned forward, the Sword Ghost suddenly shouted.

"Hide in quickly!"

The sword ghost roared.

Because of the speed, if he didn't speak loudly, the sound of the wind would cover his voice, resulting in Crusch and Felix not being able to hear a word.

Although the Sword Ghost is old, his voice is exceptionally loud.

The Sword Ghost had no way to stop the collapsing horse, the reins were on the verge of being torn apart, and the carriage was too bumpy.

The Sword Ghost stood up and stomped his feet hard to stabilize the carriage. The intense pain frightened the horses further. The Sword Ghost simply cut the reins, and several horses let out harsh neighs and ran forward and disappeared.

The figure of the white whale was getting closer and closer, and the sword ghost was standing against it with a sword in hand.

"You guys run, I don't know if I can do it, but there are always things I need to do."

"We should always have an understanding of the past."

The Sword Ghost did not look back.

What appeared before his eyes was the figure of his wife, who died at the hands of the white whale.

The moment he saw the white whale, Sword Ghost's first reaction was to protect the people in the carriage.

But in the following time, he realized that God was kind to him, allowing him to encounter the threshold he had to cross in his old age.

He had actually been waiting for this day for a long time.

The Sword Demon's body sank as he waited for the white whale to approach, and the fog swallowed his body.

Before the fog completely surrounded him, he seemed to hear the shouts of Crusch and Felix.

Sword Ghost didn’t hear clearly what they said, but it didn’t matter. Now he was just burning all over.

This burning feeling seemed to help him dispel the coldness that had been building for many years, and the long-lost hot blood rushed into his chest.

The Sword Demon's eyes brightened, as if he had suddenly become several years younger.

He stood upright, his spine straightened a little, and the head of the white whale appeared.

The sword ghost suddenly leaped up and chopped down the white whale's head with the sword in his hand.

Emilia had walked a long way. She looked back again and again, but she didn't see the guy.

Emilia wondered why this guy was doing this again. (End of this chapter)
