The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

The master never said what would happen if he failed to fulfill the other party's request.

Alcaide had never asked, nor did he want to know about that kind of thing.

The other party had been with him for five years. In this strange world where no one treated him with pure kindness, like a father treats his child, he did not ask about the meaning of anything as if he did not want to disappoint his "big dad".

It's not about wanting to meet the other person's expectations, nor is it about having a mission that I absolutely must complete.

Simply because you think of it like breathing, something that happens naturally.

Lightning danced in the crimson eyes, and the azure light of the Wood Element Technique lit up under his feet.

Zhen: the stretching and bending of wood!

If your body can’t handle it, let your abilities adapt!

It's not your turn to bear the consequences of going berserk and losing control!

Let me try to grab that flying ring!

……

The dark green stone glowed with a bright green light, and the ancient word "wood" was faintly visible in it.

【337】Calculations are often no match for exceptions

"Go give that little girl a warning."

A certain high-ranking official of this country who was chatting and laughing with Ilitia during the day gave these orders to his subordinates.

"Boss, she is the first princess of the Nebilis Imperial Palace after all. Is it really okay for you to do this?"

the secretary inquired.

"It's because she's the first princess that I dare to do this."

The boss smiled confidently.

"They are pure-blooded monsters in the witch country. No matter what kind of guys we send out, they will be annihilated."

"As long as the people I sent out are killed by witches, I will take the opportunity to publicize the harm of witches and publicly accuse the Imperial Office."

"When that time comes, the current timid leader should step down from his position, and I will lead the country."

"I have already made an agreement with the imperial officials to withdraw my neutrality and turn to the imperial side, and they will give me political support in the deal."

"Haha, now everything is ready. As long as the witch kills someone, she will be politically weak. If the Imperial Office cannot prove its innocence, it will not be able to say anything about us defecting to the Empire."

The secretary was silent for a moment, then asked, "But I heard that not all Star Spirits are highly lethal. There are also Star Spirits that are purely for self-protection or magic tricks."

"Isn't that a much rarer type of Protoss than the more popular types like Earth, Rock, Fire, Lightning, and Frost? And that's a pureblood! Do you understand the value of a pureblood?"

secretary:"……"

Have you ever thought that if their gold content is really high, there is a possibility that they will be captured alive or come to your door and kill you?

At this moment, the secretary wanted to find the next employer.

Currently, my boss has the highest reputation among the people in the party I support, but this ability is very worrying.

If the other candidates in the party are older, there is no need to count on this old man in his seventies or eighties to win the position of top leader.

So he could only think about it.

By the way, pray that the boss's plan will come true and don't let them be captured alive. Even if some people are captured alive, don't let too many of them be captured alive. Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to kill them as terrorists afterwards.

As for being captured alive by all the members and then that little girl of only fifteen years old using those people as a political tool to brand the country as partly pro-Imperial Office?

Don't talk nonsense. If the other party had this kind of military force and brainpower, we would still be playing the game of politics!

……

After being meditated while viewing the scenery and then beaten up by his master in his dream, Alcaide came back and sat at the door of Ilitia's room with a heavy face.

There is a high-end hotel invested and built by royal merchants in this neutral country. Whether for safety or political identity considerations, Illitia has no reason not to choose to settle here.

His room was actually next door, but he didn't want to stay there.

Because this hotel only has bonsai in the corridor.

If he wanted to continue challenging the same combat target as before, the best way was to meditate in the same way for a short period of time. In other words, if he wanted to get back at his master who had killed him, he had to get into the state again by viewing the scenery.

Considering that it was already around midnight, and he was after all a professional guard who had been assigned by his superior to protect the other party, Alcade chose to sit cross-legged at the other person's door.

"No, I keep feeling phantom pain in my body and can't concentrate at all!"

The master always scolded him for his shallow meditation practice, for not being in a meditative state with every move, and for not being able to enter deep meditation at any time to practice mind-strike techniques (a technique that relies on imagination in the brain for simulation training. Because it involves the use of mind energy skills combined with one's own combat experience, it is more used to master the use of various mind energy secret techniques rather than simulating countermeasures).

But how can we meditate anytime and anywhere?

The wind would collect and spread sounds from all directions. Alcaide, who could hear the breathing and even discussions of others within ten kilometers all the time, considered himself good enough to be able to enter a meditative state.

Playing with the light green light, the stranger who tried to break into the girl's residence through the window was hung on the wall with the stretch of wood. The vine-like energy touch tightened like a living creature, and a slight shattering sound was heard.

He was not dead. Alkaide's excellent hearing allowed him to easily judge the enemy's physiological state. His good long-range control ability also allowed him to simply destroy the enemy's bones and muscles, while skipping the opponent's internal organs and disabling them.

Comminuted fracture was considered a merciful treatment for this guy who was wearing a nightgown, covering his face and holding a knife in the middle of the night and obviously had bad intentions. Although it was largely because Alcade did not want to get involved in human deaths, he had already saved your life. If you still wanted to reason with him about your comminuted fracture, he would have to talk to him about the principles of physics.

But there are six of them... Master broke free of my Wood Stretch in just one move, and the six of us couldn't put up any effective resistance together... Is that bear-like monster really a strong man of extraordinary standards?

In the palm of his hand, the Zhen Gua, which was transformed from azure light, flickered slightly, with tiny arcs of electricity dancing on it.

He said that his body was the result of his practice of the Zhen Gua and was specifically heading towards this growth direction, so his resistance to lightning power and derived power was far stronger than Alcade had imagined.

But the question is what kind of derived resistance includes physical cutting? The flying ring blessed by the Zhen hexagram scratched sparks on the opponent's chest hair, but it didn't literally shave off a single hair.

Could it be that lightning could allow a person to possess a perfect body forged by God?

He couldn't help but think of a normally skinny man of 1.80 meters who was in a fighting (defeat) state with a 3-meter tall man.

Although that man was often beaten in front of his eyes, his muscular body was indeed full of power and unique charm - at least more charming than his master with a hairy chest.

Such muscles, supporting such a broad frame, how tempting...

Should I consider going in this direction?

Alcaide thought seriously.

……

In the room, Ilitia, who had just finished bathing, walked to the balcony and felt the evening breeze.

“It’s a great night.”

She commented as she looked at the crescent moon and felt the evening breeze.

【338】Nature’s Gift

It was a summer night, and the chirping of insects drowned out the subtle sounds of bones breaking. The assassins, who were wearing what looked like ordinary night clothes from Alcade's perspective but were actually high-tech camouflage uniforms, were not discovered.

The [vines] extending from the wall pierced their flesh, churning their muscles and bones, and nailing them there.

The sound was difficult to be transmitted to Illitia because part of the [vines] had pierced into the skull, pressing on the part that would cause fainting.

From the perspective of guarding to ensuring the quality of rest for his boss, Alcade did an excellent job.

Ilitia, who didn't know that there were six big men under the windowsill where she was lying, remembered her conversation with Arcaid during the day and buried her head in her arms.

"He's a guy who can inadvertently say something to please girls...Arcade."

After whispering the name, Ilitia's expression became a little complicated.

Originally, he tried to invite a strong man who was neither from the Royal Court nor the Empire to join his team without much hope. Unexpectedly, the other party accepted it readily and said a lot of heart-stirring words to him.

That person...did he really agree to become my subordinate just for that stone?

Could it be that he just uses this excuse because he likes me?

Ilitia believes that her beauty is enough to be described as a "witch" by anyone. Her temperament has been well cultivated due to the various etiquette and art courses she has taken since childhood. She is also a princess of a country. As a "woman that men want to get", she should be the top target.

But from the actual time they spent together, in the first month, he spent more time with his sister Alice than with himself, and he didn't often focus his eyes on her, but mostly looked at the scenery or green plants.

Rather than considering her as a pursuit object, it would be more accurate to say that he considers her younger sister Alice as a pursuit object. Even the scenery may have a higher priority in this man's mind than Ilitia.

"How can a subordinate abandon his master to enjoy the scenery?"

A subtle sigh escaped from her soft lips. Illitia stood up and tried to look at the night view in the distance, but she caught a glimpse of two crimson balls in the darkness.

Deep red...sharp eyes.

Looking at those eyes, Ilitia remembered the prison where she had stayed, which held many death row prisoners, in order to develop her ability to withstand stress.

The aura of any of those criminals who have at least two dozen lives on their hands is not enough to compare with that of the owner of these eyes. Even if they are combined, they are only similar in atmosphere, and the pressure values ​​are completely on two different levels.

Under tremendous pressure, Ilitia, who was thin and wearing thin pajamas, could only rely on her trained instincts to remain as still as a mountain and face the unknown visitor calmly.

"Didn't you refuse first?"

A familiar voice sounded, and the full appearance of the blue armored warrior appeared before her.

The blue armor looks like an eagle, with two flying ring-like decorations on the shoulders and sharp red eye protection on the visor...

Ilitia had seen this image before - the Wind and Thunder Sword Master wore this outfit for a period of time when he was galloping on the battlefield.

"...Arcade?"

"I'm here."

"When did you...come?"

"Since you called me by my name."

Was it before that, or after that?

I'm worried that I might look like a love-sick little girl if you do this!

"Why do you suddenly look like this?"

"Because I can't fly."

Alcaide replied.

He had been meditating for a long time without any progress. The assassins were nailed to the wall again. He was about to fall asleep with nothing to do, and then he heard Ilitia calling his name from inside.

Because the other party was on the balcony at the time, he thought it would be better to just tie up those guys who came to assassinate him. It was hard to say what the consequences would be if he was hung there by Mu Zhishenqu all night, and it was hard to say how he would feel if someone died.

Ilitia didn't quite understand his logic. What did he mean by "because you can't fly"?

You just started flying in my face from the opposite direction.

Fortunately, Alcaide quickly answered her questions.

"I mean, I can't fly myself, but this armor can, and it's very maneuverable. I don't need to run at high speed to get to you via a fixed route."

"…Then, how did you hear what I said? I mean, why were you able to hear me calling you? Isn't the soundproofing here good?"

"If there's wind, you can hear it clearly."

No, every time we communicate the answers the other party gives are too stream-of-consciousness.

This is also one of the reasons why Ilitia feels that the other party does not seem to be very interested in her.

Whether talking to the maids in the Lu Eltz Palace or to Alice, Arcaid's words were sometimes jumpy but still understandable. However, when it came to herself, she always felt that the other party seemed to be assuming that she knew something but she actually didn't, so there was a communication error.

"…Forget it. Thank you for coming here as soon as you heard me calling your name. There's nothing else to do, so go and rest."

"okay."

He agreed and pulled down all the assassins who were clinging to the wall.

The camouflage uniforms, which had gradually lost their camouflage function due to the blood stains, could no longer effectively conceal the figures of the assassins, so Illitia was a little stunned when she saw a big guy every time he reached down from the balcony.

"This is……"

“A gift from nature.”

Alcaide said with a confident look on his face.

"What kind of gift could be a human?!"

“Humans are also part of nature.”

While talking, Alcade tied up all the big guys, lifted them up with one hand and took off on the spot.

"That's it, get some rest and see you in the morning."
