Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Huh? I... I..."

Feeling Xia Lu's apology and the sudden weakness in her voice, Amy seemed to realize something and was stunned for a moment. The next second, she stretched out her hand and blocked Xia Lu without thinking.

"I...I...I won't let you...hurt my friends!"

Although she didn't know magic, she still had strength. As her eyes swept over the four figures in front of her one by one, Amy answered in such a firm tone.

"Amy..."

Xia Lu was immediately moved by Amy's action, but it was obvious that the feeling of being moved at the moment did not have much effect. Therefore, when they saw Amy standing in front of Xia Lu, the four people hiding in the shadows looked at each other immediately, and then one of them suddenly rushed out, and stabbed Amy in the chest with the dagger in his hand... Their goal was just to capture Her Royal Highness the Princess. Originally, they did not intend to take action against a blind little girl like Amy, but they never thought that the other party would come to their door to die, so as killers, they naturally did not need to be polite.

"Woo~~ Yeah... Hey!"

Seeing the other party rushing towards her, Amy fumbled around for a while in panic. When she felt a hard object in her hand, she immediately gathered all her strength and threw it towards the "line" that was getting closer and closer to her without thinking.

"Hey~~"

The ordinary clod of earth actually made a cracking sound when thrown. When Amy and the others reacted immediately, the next thing they saw was the man in black lying on the ground and... a big hole on his chest!

"Gudong~~"

The sound of swallowing.

23. I am… a member of the Mirror Organization…

Amy is very strong, which can be said to be her only advantage. As for how strong this strength is, well... the only thing Ai Xue knows about this is that even if she is a high-level warrior and uses magic, she may not be the opponent of the other party.

It's just that Amy's appearance was too deceptive, and because of the obstacle above her eyes, Ai Xue had always treated her as an object of protection and rarely gave her the opportunity to attack. As a result, over time, Amy almost forgot where her strength came from. Until this time, when she killed a man in black in one blow, it suddenly rang.

That’s right, I’m not a powerless burden who can only rely on my sister for protection. I also have strength... and I can fight!

As he was thinking this, the sound of breaking wind rang out again. This time it was not the man in black who attacked personally, but... a weapon?

"咻咻咻~~~"

Clearly seeing Amy's strength, the man in black decisively chose a long-range attack. Flying knives accompanied by cold light flew from all directions and directly turned into a light curtain that wrapped Ye Chen in the center. In less than three seconds, he could be cut into a sieve.

"Boom~~"

With nowhere to hide, a huge wall of fire suddenly appeared again. Feeling the heat from the tip of her nose, Amy immediately blinked her lifeless eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of Xia Lu.

"The wall of fire can't stop the Demon-Breaking Blade. We need to leave!"

He dragged his heavy body slowly to Amy's side, immediately stretched out his hand and slowly pulled her forward. However, due to the effect of the drug, he still accidentally fell to the ground. Amy helped him up, and then...

"Hu~~"

"Ugh?"

Suddenly, a little girl the same age as herself hugged her waist and Xia Lu gave her a puzzled look while a faint blush appeared on her face.

"Well... this is more convenient!"

Feeling the warmth of the delicate body in her arms, Amy honestly hated her own sensitive perception at this moment.

"Um... well, go... left!"

Knowing that Amy couldn't see, Xia Lu quickly took over as the commander. Amy immediately turned around and ran in that direction without hesitation.

"Bang~~~"

The red flame wall was cut through, and after a glance at each other, two of the three men in black immediately chased after the two men, while the last one looked around and then sank into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

"Hurry, hurry, we're almost at the exit!"

Amidst the anxious voice, Amy, who was running, felt her breathing suddenly become easier in the next second. The surroundings also felt empty, proving that they had successfully reached the outside of the cave. At this time, Xia Lu also spoke as if she breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, we can still see the Imperial City. All we need to do next is uh..."

"Kakaka!"

Four loud noises sounded at the same time, and the next second, a glazed wall suddenly appeared and bound the two of them. Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, and before Amy could react, a line filled with chaotic colors came into her sight. In Xia Lu's sight, she also saw a smiling figure standing there as if he had been waiting for a long time, looking at them with a smile.

"Oh my goodness~~ You actually escaped! I was here just in case, but I never thought you'd actually make it out. This is truly... worthy of encouragement!"

He spoke words of praise, but the tone coming out of the other person's mouth was definitely not praiseworthy. The tall man was wearing a black and gray hooded sweater with his hands in his pockets, which was obviously incompatible with the current clothing. More importantly, as the glass cover wrapped around the two of them, Xia Lu discovered that it was not a magical fluctuation at all, but a fluctuation emitted from a rectangular tarot-like card in the other person's hand.

"At this time...I should introduce myself, right?"

Signaling Amy to put him down, Amy seemed to feel the walls around her and reached out to touch them. When her palm was blocked, she punched them without thinking.

"Bang~~~"

Amidst the loud noise, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the glass, interrupting the man's unfinished words. Just as Xia Lu was about to smile in surprise, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her had already slowly taken out two more cards from his pocket, and then...

"Seal! Bind!"

"boom!"

That was the sound of another barrier being cast outside the glass cover barrier.

"Wow~~"

Black chains instantly shot out from the void, tied up Amy's hands directly, and stopped her destructive behavior. Only after he had done all this did the man casually throw away the card in his hand that had run out of magic power. Then he looked at the other party with an elegant smile again. The long hair under the hood was pushed aside, revealing the corners of the other party's mouth with a hint of mocking smile and on his face... half of a black iron mask!

"That mask..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Xia Lu recognized the mask on his face at first sight, and her tone instantly turned cold as she exclaimed:

"So, it's you... the members of the Mirror Organization, the magical terrorists who have suddenly emerged in various countries recently!"

"mirror?"

Xia Lu looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression, but she did not notice that when she heard this word, Amy paused as if she had some reaction, and then continued to twist her hands to try to shake off the chains on her body. However, although she was very strong, she was carried into the air little by little and had nowhere to support herself. For a while, she still could not exert much strength to break free.

"Yes, I'm a member of the Mirror, but as for magical terrorists and all that... our Mirror is actually bigger than you think!"

While speaking these mysterious words, he also revealed his code name:

"Shattered Face, a subordinate of Lord Demon Face of the Mirror Organization: Sealer Luo Shan, please give me your guidance, Her Royal Highness... the Princess of the Pernachi Empire!"

Under the smile that seemed to be sure of victory, he did not notice that at this moment in the direction of the struggling Amy, a faint white light appeared quietly... on her chest.

That's... a gem!

24. Instinct reaction

(I'm feeling a bit dizzy after a long day on the train. Sorry... I'm a bit out of my element.)

Her entire body was bound by pitch-black chains, and she was wrapped in a transparent barrier. Seeing the man who claimed to be the Broken Face of the Mirror Organization slowly approaching Xia Lu, Amy immediately increased the strength of her struggle... However, because her body was in the air, she had nowhere to support herself, and the strength she could exert was obviously limited. Therefore, no matter how she struggled, she could only make the sound of chains colliding in vain.

"Members of the Mirror Organization... I see. Killing... no, I should say capturing me alive... It seems like you've made a deal with a certain country or perhaps some dark force within the Pernachi Empire!"

Although domestic affairs are now basically managed by her younger sister Xueli, she is still the eldest princess after all. In addition, Xueli herself has no intention of competing. It can be said that as long as this continues, it is almost certain that Xia Lu will become the queen of the Pernachi Empire.

Her importance in this situation can naturally be imagined, and Xueli seldom leaves the city due to the affairs of the royal city. Even if she does, she is always accompanied by a large number of guards. However, looking at myself... not only did I shield all my subordinates because I was afraid of trouble, I also deliberately kept a certain distance from the secret guards. Now I am in such a dangerous situation... It is obvious that it is all my own fault!

"You can let me go with you... Xiao... She is innocent, just let her go first!"

At this stage, it was obvious that neither she nor Amy was a match for the other. After seeing the situation clearly, Xia Lu pointed at Amy behind her and said this. However, Luo Shan did not agree or refuse. Instead, he looked at Amy who was still struggling and then said:

"As for this...it might not work!"

"Why? If your target is me, you'll need someone to report it!"

Capturing me alive meant that I had some value in living. In this case, the other party would definitely find a way to inform Xueli that I was in their hands. Leaving someone alive to report back was undoubtedly the best way. Xia Lu was not wrong about this, but...

"What you said makes sense. If I were just reporting the news, I wouldn't have needed to capture this little girl as well. But unfortunately, my target this time... isn't just you!"

"what?!"

Not only me, but Amy too...

"Oh my~~~ I originally thought that catching two people at the same time would take a lot of effort, but I never expected that I would just happen to encounter two people shopping at the same time. It really is the Bishop's blessing that such a coincidence happened to me. This is really..."

"Red Thunder!"

"Crack, crack, crack~~"

A crimson lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and the next second it landed straight on Luo Shan's head, less than half a meter away. The transparent glass blocked the crimson lightning. Luo Shan, who was under the lightning, raised his head and looked at Xia Lu, who had suddenly attacked him, with a half-smile.

Since there was no longer any tone of negotiation, it was natural to strike first. Obviously, Xia Lu's decisive move was not as innocent as it looked. This red lightning was not just to attack him, but was just a... cover!

"Crack~~Bang~~"

There were two places where the crimson lightning landed. One was in the direction of Luo Shan in front of him, and the other was... in the direction of Amy who was struggling behind him. Following the ruthless bombardment of thunder, the next second, cracks appeared directly on the glazed wall. The next second, as the sound of shattering rang out, Amy, who was supposed to be bound by chains, was freed.

"Amy, turn around and run, keep running... The Imperial City is at the end in that direction!"

It was obvious that rescuing Amy was not to let the other party fight back together with himself, but to point in a direction and let Amy run quickly. Amy was stunned for a moment and then ran quickly in a flash. However, the direction she ran was not the direction Xia Lu pointed, but... the opposite direction?

"Millet?!"

"Hey~~"

The sound instantly turned into a beam of white light and rushed directly towards Luo Shan. Under the other party's smiling gaze, the next second the small fist had already landed heavily on the glazed protective wall in front of him.

"Bang~~"

Without any warning, the glass wall shattered instantly, but at the same time, chains suddenly emerged from all directions under the fragments, as if trying to bind Amy once again.

however……

"I can feel... the breath of magic!"

The figure suddenly dodged in mid-air and avoided the chains around him. He turned around and landed steadily on the ground. Relying on his feeling, he punched around without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang~~"

He accurately shot down each chain, but when the attack ended, Luo Shan had already hidden far away, with a look of relief on his face:

"Phew~ Fortunately, fortunately, you're really strong, little girl. If I had been hit by your punch, it would have been really painful. Oh my~ You really are worthy of being the sister of a hero candidate. It seems that you also have some good 'talent'!"

That powerful force that could break his own magic barrier at will was obviously impossible for a little girl to do so easily, even for someone who truly possessed the "talent" of power. However, the other party did it so easily without showing any magic power from beginning to end. This situation obviously made Luo Shan realize one thing, that is, today's mission... may not be so easy to complete!

"talent?"

Luo Shan's praise was sincere, but Amy obviously did not feel proud or complacent after hearing the other party's praise. Instead, she just stood there in a daze after a series of attacks, just staring blankly with her hands stretched out, until she raised her head after a long time, her eyes were full of confusion.

"What did I just...do?"

It was so strange. She had never fought with anyone, nor had she learned any fighting skills. In addition, due to her poor eyesight, Amy had actually been living a carefree life like a princess, being taken care of by her sister.

As someone like me, I should have no idea how to fight except for my strength, but just at that moment, everything... changed!

25. Escape

The fight was a completely instinctive one, as if it had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations and integrated into her body's instincts. In the few seconds when she attacked Luo Shan, although Amy had all the memories of her actions, everything seemed not to be her own reaction.

Feeling the magical aura of the opponent's attack, counterattacking and pursuing the opponent's attack, everything was done smoothly without any flaws. Xia Lu who was watching on the side was a little stunned. However, when Amy came back to her senses, she was also stunned with a confused look on her face.

So what exactly happened?

She looked at her own hands in disbelief. She had never learned any martial arts, but she could defeat Luo Shan so easily... Of course, this was obviously not the time for her to think about it. Although she didn't know what this sudden instinctive fighting method in her mind was, there was at least one thing Amy understood very well, that is... it can work!

Using this kind of combat instinct, although I can't say I can defeat the opponent, but at least if it's just to protect Xiaolu... it can work!

The small fist clenched instantly, and Amy immediately opened her lifeless eyes and pointed it at Luo Shan in front of her, and then she pretended to be ready for battle.

"Oh, are you going to continue? I didn't expect that someone as cute as you looks would have such a temper? You really can't judge a person by their appearance..."

"Bang~~"

The floor beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and the small figure disappeared instantly. The next second, before Luo Shan could finish his words, he appeared behind him, punching out fiercely, aiming for the back of his opponent's head. However, although he did not turn around, two cards appeared in Luo Shan's hand at the same time:

"Defense, sword!"

"Bang~~"

The black magic mist surrounded his body, and the moment he blocked Amy's fist, countless long swords condensed from the dark mist instantly surrounded him, and then turned into black streams of light and rushed straight towards Amy.

"Red Thunder·Heavenly Punishment!"

"Boom~~"

At the critical moment, Xia Lu's figure appeared beside Amy with thunder. Countless red thunders fell from the sky like rain and struck Luo Shan's body fiercely.

"Boom~~~"

The thunder was so dense that the pitch-black magic mist formed a black sphere that enveloped it. When the thunder outside the sphere slowly disappeared, it was already a few minutes later.

"Click~~"
