Don't confiscate my citizenship

The female knight has an upright posture, and even when sitting, she exudes a dignified and elegant temperament.

She seemed to have finished her work this morning. She had just bandaged her wounds and put on her armor. There were several rolls of unwrapped bandages and a half-empty bottle of potion scattered on the table.

Even so, you could see the light stains of blood seeping through the white bandages on her body.

It seems that there is no prison guard with healing skills to treat her for the time being.

The female knight looked up, her eyes showing both fatigue and cold determination.

Even after returning from a tough battle with her own phantom, her eyes still remained alert.

Her slightly impatient gaze fell on the great poet.

Before the new trainee prison guard could speak.

"Once you have cleared the phantoms, I will naturally give you my evaluation."

The warden knight's voice was cold but powerful, and she answered the other party before he could ask the question.

She spoke briefly and to the point, her eyes leaving the face of the great poet, as if she had examined an outsider.

"Thank you, Miss Melissa Warden."

The poet of great love expressed his gratitude tenderly.

He saw her name "Melissa" engraved on the warden's nameplate.

Although the other party seemed a little indifferent, he was a pragmatic warden and had no intention of making things difficult for them. He was already the most talkative person they had met in Helrom Prison.

Just as the poet of great love was about to end the conversation and turn away.

"and many more."

Warden Melissa suddenly spoke up.

The poet of great love turned back.

I don't understand why Warden Melissa stopped me.

Melissa was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes and looked directly at the great poet again.

"Where are your companions? Did you get separated from them all when you came to this floor?"

Melissa's attitude was still full of distance. She sat there and looked at the great poet.

"I'm going to join them in the exit teleportation hall."

The poet of great love replied.

"You don't have much combat ability, and you'll easily die if you're alone. If the phantoms of other prison guards accidentally run into you, they may also attack you. I'll clear the way for you and take you to the exit teleportation hall."

Warden Melissa said as she stood up tiredly and walked out of the office.

"Are you really okay?"

Lanqi felt that the warden had just experienced a life-and-death battle and the flame of life was shaking.

"It doesn't matter. I have already cleared this layer of my own phantom. It is more than enough to deal with other people's phantoms."

Warden Melissa walked to the door and spoke without any emotion in her voice, then walked out of the warden's office.

“…That’s troublesome.”

Lanci thanked.

Even though the warden should have won, it was clearly a pyrrhic victory. After just a simple movement, the bloodstains on the white bandages on her body began to deepen, as if she had barely managed to survive.

It is hard to imagine what kind of martial arts fanatic would fight to the death with his own phantom every day on this level.

In the Great Demon Trial [Hopeless Extinction War], generally only the craziest and most powerful demon martial arts fanatics would choose to fight to the death here and train themselves.

The condition for obtaining the [Mark of Hopelessness] is to push the fighting spirit to the extreme, face the eighth-level phantom that is stronger than oneself, and defeat it by oneself.

Only by achieving extreme sublimation in battle and surpassing your original self can you have a chance to fight to the death and defeat the extreme phantom that is far stronger than yourself.

The three seventh-rank wardens in Helrom's inner circle are rare talents in the Protoss Empire. While being appointed to important positions, they probably also found a training ground that is most suitable for themselves.

The poet of great love followed Warden Melissa and left the office.

He now felt that the warden on the negative fifth floor was unexpectedly reliable.

Although he appears to be a cold person, he is actually quite caring towards the trainee prison guards.

Originally, Lanci had already prepared to continue working as a doctor in Helrom Prison, but now it seems that Warden Melissa is mentally very healthy, completely different from Miss Selena, the warden on the negative fourth floor, and there is no need to talk to him at all.

Lanqi always responds to requests, but he won't help without any request.

Earlier on the negative fourth floor, after Hyperion woke up from her dream and couldn't see the warden, she was worried for a long time, fearing that Lanqi would cheat the warden and the goddess would deduct their merits.

This time, Hyperion can rest assured.

Four updates today

Chapter 420: Lanqi encounters a new disease

Two figures walked on the corridor of the negative fifth floor maze. The air soon began to fluctuate again, and the deep blue magic barrier on the ground was triggered. The phantom of the great love poet appeared somewhere again, but he was still nowhere to be seen or at the end of the corridor.

The Warden Knight's steps were firm, and every step contained the confidence of a strong person.

There might be fifth- and sixth-level phantoms on the road, but she is not afraid at all.

The poet of great love followed behind her, staying close to her like a secretary.

After leaving the warden's office near the entrance teleportation hall, the deeper we went into the maze, the more complicated the negative fifth floor became. Fortunately, Warden Melissa was familiar with this ever-changing place, and with her leading the way, it was much faster than when Ranchi was looking at the map alone.

As they walked, figures appeared around the corners from time to time - they were phantoms of the prison guards patrolling this floor. They had almost real appearances, but their bodies were slightly transparent, allowing people to recognize their illusory nature at a glance.

The female knight did not hesitate at all after seeing the phantom.

She drew the long sword from her waist, and the sword gleamed coldly under the light.

Before the phantom prison guards could attack her, the female knight had already foreseen their every move. Her body moved flexibly in the space, and each swing of the sword was extremely precise. Every time the sword blade passed, the phantoms dissipated like smoke.

The movements are fluid and powerful, with turns and side steps full of power and beauty.

Under his sword, the phantom prison guards were unable to get close and were defeated one after another.

The poet of great love observed all this from behind, without any room for intervention.

The female knight not only has superb combat skills, but also has a strong will to fight. Her calm movements reveal a clear determination, as if she is eagerly seeking a battle and wanting to become stronger every minute and every second.

Originally, as long as you carefully avoid these phantoms, they will not actively attack.

It turned out that these things should have been cleaned up by their prison guards, but Warden Melissa helped them clean them up.

As the phantom prison guards disappeared one by one, the corridor returned to peace again.

However, because of the big movement, the bandages on Warden Melissa's body were visibly stained a little red, and her arms were shaking a little more, and her condition had obviously worsened.

"Are you OK?"

The great poet walked forward, stared at the back of the female knight and asked.

This warden is no worse than those crazy martial arts fanatics of the demon race. He is using his life to the limit every minute and every second.

Although this extreme fighting method may be her choice as a warrior, Lanqi does not want this precious talent of the Protoss Empire to die.

After hearing the sound, Warden Melissa seemed to be unable to hold on and fell to the ground half-knelt, as if her previous injury had recurred.

"..."

She lowered her head and took deep breaths for several seconds.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

The female knight sheathed her sword, stood up with difficulty, and glanced sideways, her eyes still showing that same cold determination.

She motioned to the poet of great love to keep going.

The poet Da Ai looked a little confused, but he followed anyway.

He felt that Melissa Warden was a seventh-level physical profession and should have strong self-healing abilities.

For someone like Sigrid, this level of injury would recover quickly on its own.

Unless Warden Melissa's physical attributes are extremely low and she doesn't have any self-healing or recovery spells or equipment, why would she match the cards like this?

The two continued to move forward in the corridor maze. Melissa showed bellicosity when she discovered the phantom. Her fighting style seemed even crazier than her calm appearance. She completely disregarded her own safety and often adopted the strategy of preferring to take two hits before killing the opponent in one second.

Under such vicious beatings, Warden Melissa's body gradually accumulated more scars. Her breathing began to become rapid, and her steps often paused, requiring her to hold on to the wall to rest for a while.

No matter how the poet of love asked her if she needed a moment to recover, she would deny it and continue forward, dragging her wounded body.

Not long after, when the female knight eliminated a powerful sixth-order phantom in front of her, she was also hit several times and became a little shaky. She seemed to be gritting her teeth and trying desperately to stand.

"If we go any further, we won't be able to call the prison doctor. Why don't you just take me here? Thank you very much."

The Great Love Poet looked down at the map on his bracelet and said to Warden Melissa.

Helrom's special rescue medical personnel also have limited movement distances, especially on the minus four to minus six floors. They will prioritize their own safety and their range of movement is extremely limited.

Now this location is some distance away from safe locations such as the warden's office and the entrance teleportation hall.

Although Lanqi put all his magic cards on the Great Love Poet today and could also use the Great Love Poet's body to use his magic cards, his healing effect was very minimal. Not only could it not relieve the warden's injuries, it might even torture her.

Lanqi had never seen such a living Buddha before and really didn't want to kill the warden.

He had never done anything in his life that would deduct his merits, but if he killed such a good person, then I'm afraid his merits would really be deducted.

"Do not……"

Upon hearing the voice of the great poet, Warden Melissa fell down immediately.

She lay on the ground and took several breaths before she managed to adjust herself.

"..."

Just when the great poet thought that the warden really couldn't hold on any longer this time, she stood up again with difficulty as if she were immortal.

"Keep going. I won't die."

The female knight suppressed her trembling voice and took a step forward to speak.
