Just a magical girl who picks up trash

The already pitch-black magical mist seemed to emit a faint green smoke under the lightning. It gradually dissipated and then revealed Luo Shan's smiling face. Looking at the messy but already deserted scene before him, he shrugged and muttered to himself in a cheerful mood:

"Well, this should be considered... a mission failure!"

He seemed not to care about the result and immediately walked away unsteadily, with no intention of pursuing him at all.

"Anyway, I haven't received any orders to pursue, so I'm too lazy to do anything unnecessary!"

……

"Xiao...Xiaomi, are you...okay?"

With Amy holding her in her arms and herself guiding the direction, she ran at least a few hundred meters. Then she looked at Amy, who had a blank expression on her face, and asked.

"Huh? Oh...no...I'm fine!"

Amy, who seemed to be thinking about something, was stunned for a moment after hearing Xia Lu's words. Then she responded immediately and turned her head to look around before saying:

"There's no more magical energy or thread. It looks like the other party isn't chasing us!"

"Well, probably not!"

After exploring the surroundings, Xia Lu also said the same thing, and then she tugged at Amy's sleeve and pointed in a direction:

"But we still can't be careless. If we go that way now, that's the direction of the Imperial City. As long as we reach the city gate, the secret guards should be able to catch up. Then we will be safe!"

It was obvious that she was being willful in going out today. Since she had just made a friend, Xia Lu wanted to play with her friend alone, so she threw off the protection of the secret guards. At the same time, she didn't know if it was a coincidence that the guys who wanted to kidnap her chose today to do it. This made her step into the trap without checking, and she almost hurt Xiaomi and herself.

In the end, if it weren’t for Xiaomi’s help, I might have been caught by the other party!

Thinking of this, Xia Lu's face suddenly showed a trace of fear. She then glanced apologetically at Amy, who was running in a certain direction. Although she couldn't see, she could always easily avoid the surrounding trees. She suddenly said:

"I'm so sorry about today..."

"Ok?"

He lowered his head slightly, seemingly not understanding what she meant. Xia Lu also explained:

"You were almost put in danger because of me. I'm so... sorry!"

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?"

Faced with Xia Lu's sincere apology, Amy uttered a slight doubt:

"Didn't the other party say that I was also a target? So whether we encountered danger today or not, we were both being targeted!"

In other words, even if he really gave up saving Xia Lu and ran away tonight, the other party would obviously not let him go, so in fact there is not much difference!

"..."

Amy's matter-of-fact tone made Xia Lu a little unsure of what to say. In the end, the two of them continued on their journey in silence and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial city... Fortunately, the other party's teleportation magic circle was not as long as they had imagined. They were only teleported to a cave in the forest outside the city.

"your Highness!"

As soon as she arrived at the city gate, a dark figure knelt silently beside her in the blink of an eye, half-knelt on the ground with a confessional tone and said to Xia Lu:

"I'm late and haven't provided adequate protection. Please punish me, Princess!"

"It's nothing. I was the one who got rid of you. It's not your fault!"

Shaking his head, Xia Lu didn't say anything more to the other party. After seeing his secret guard, he breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he spoke:

"You go down first. I need to go to my sister's place now."

Regarding the fact that she and Xiaomi were almost kidnapped, especially since it was done by the Mirror Organization, Xia Lu obviously did not intend to hide this matter!

26.What is this?

"Kidnap? The Mirror Organization's Broken Face...?"

I have to say that Xia Lu and Amy came back quite timely. When they came back, the first round of selection had just ended. At this time, Amy, led by Xia Lu, came directly to the third princess Xueli. After roughly explaining what had happened, Xueli immediately showed a somewhat solemn expression.

The Mirror Organization is a very mysterious organization. No one knows when or how it was established. It just suddenly appeared in this world one day. It trades under the banner of a mercenary group, but it is engaged in illegal activities. It can be said to be a cancer on the continent.

And now, this cancer has actually set its sights on his own sister. This kind of thing is obviously absolutely intolerable!

"I understand. Sister, you must be tired after tossing and turning for so long. Go back and rest for a while. Leave the rest... to me!"

Nodding at Xia Lu, Xueli immediately turned her gaze to Amy behind her and said with a gentle smile:

"First of all, congratulations! Your sister has completed the preliminaries and will soon be showing her skills in the semi-finals. It seems that she will become a true hero, just as you said before."

Having said this, Xueli immediately said in a soft tone:

"Also, thank you for saving my sister. I will remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to me for help!"

One can imagine the value of such a guarantee from a princess who holds the power of ruling the country. However, Amy obviously didn't care much about it. So when she heard the other party's words, she quickly shook her head and said:

"I was just protecting my friend. I didn't do anything special!"

And he was trapped. If Xia Lu hadn't helped, he would have been dead by now!

Because they had to preside over the meeting, Shirley and Amy's conversation was not long. After that, Amy followed Xia Lu to her room again. After a day of thrilling battles, Xia Lu, as a little Lolita, was obviously a little tired. So she lay on the bed for less than two seconds and then began to breathe evenly.

"You still look very tired..."

Of course Amy knew that it was because she consumed too much magic power. After all, in order to escape, Xia Lu ruthlessly converted all her magic power into red thunder to attack Luo Shan with all her strength. In this case, she naturally needed to have a good rest to recover her magic power.

Seeing this, Amy, who didn't want to disturb the other person, immediately lay down beside her. However, she didn't close her eyes and fall asleep like Xia Lu did. Instead, she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes from time to time.

It was as if a switch was turned on. After she unconsciously fought with Luo Shan today, Amy felt as if something had awakened in her mind from then until now. Various fighting skills kept flashing through her mind and were clearly remembered by her.

Of course, memory is not the main point. The main point is another aspect, which is the fleeting light that appeared on his chest when fighting against Luo Shan.

The light appeared very suddenly and disappeared quickly. Because the situation was urgent at the time, Amy did not care what the light was. However, when she was lying on the bed and pulling open the clothes in front of her, she immediately found something wrong.

"What's this?"

It was shaped like a drop of water and was protected by a metal-like material. In the center of this small glass pendant, white light was sandwiched between a faint colorful halo, and the flickering luster was like smoke and flames. It looked full of dreamy colors. The moment Amy held it in her hand, she seemed to feel something in an instant, but when she tried to recall it, she found that she didn't remember anything.

"So…what is this thing? Is it mine?"

Amy could guarantee that she had never seen this pendant in the past year, but at the same time, there was a voice in her heart telling her clearly: This is definitely mine!

Looking left and right, she lay on the bed and studied the water drop gem that suddenly appeared in her hand for a long time. Before she knew it, she fell asleep. The gem in her hand seemed to have consciousness. After Amy fell asleep, it automatically reduced the brightness of its light, then floated away from Amy's palm, and slowly fell on her chest. With two thin lines extending from its top, the next second it turned into a pendant and was worn on Amy's chest.

Amy obviously didn't know all this, but the moment the gem entered in front of her, Amy, who was originally sleeping soundly, seemed to have found a sense of belonging, and at this moment, a faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

A speechless night!

Because she was too tired, Amy slept until noon. Of course, Xia Lu, who had exhausted her magic power, was even more unlucky. When Amy woke up, she was still snoring.

"..."

Hearing the sound of even breathing beside her, Amy thought for a moment and then got down from the bed quietly. Then she walked slowly towards the door. However, she never expected that just when she reached the door and was about to open it, the door opened by itself the next second, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of Amy.

"Hey? Xiaomi, you're awake?!"

The familiar voice, tinged with a hint of worry and surprise, also made Amy startled at first, and then a bright and excited smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"Sister, you are back!"

Because of the selection, Ai Xue has been either taking tests or training alone these days. Sometimes she is summoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess and no one knows what she is saying. This has also led to Amy's time seeing Ai Xue becoming shorter and shorter. When she suddenly heard her sister's voice, it was obviously impossible for her to say that she was unhappy, and for this point... it was obvious that Ai Xue felt the same way!

"I heard you were almost kidnapped? How are you? Are you okay? Come on, let me take a look!"

As he spoke, he immediately hugged Amy in his arms and seemed to be trying to find her. After confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief. However... he did not let go. What the hell was he planning?!

27. Were you tricked?

The selection of heroes is still going on. It is obviously not something that can be finished in one or two days. Perhaps because of the last kidnapping incident, Princess Xia Lu, who was her only playmate in the past few days, was directly confined by her own sister... Yes, by her own sister. Amy, who lost this guide, naturally had to stay in the room.

Fortunately, Amy is not someone who feels lonely, because after each trial, Ai Xue will come back to accompany her as soon as possible, so Amy does not feel bored at all.

This kind of days lasted for about a week. Xia Lu, who was finally released from prison, immediately found Amy again. Of course, due to what happened before, although she had been released, she still did not have true freedom. The reason for her release was very simple: the final trial of the brave selection would be held today, so she came to take Amy to watch the ceremony!

"Amy, Amy, little Amy, have you missed me after not seeing me for a few days?"

Arriving at Amy's room, he gave her a big hug right away. Amy smiled brightly and nodded, then replied in her own soft and sweet voice:

"miss you!"

Although she had not known Xia Lu for a long time, she was the best person to her besides her sister at that time. This naturally left a strong impression in Amy's almost blank memory. Therefore, in addition to being with her sister during the past week, she did occasionally think of this somewhat noisy little sister.

"Yeah, my little Amy is the cutest. Come and let Sister Xiaolu give her a kiss!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Xia Lu immediately became even more excited and stuck to Amy. She rubbed against her for a long time with an excited tone. Finally, after leaving her mark on Amy's cheek with a somewhat shy expression, she let go of her with satisfaction, and then pulled her out.

"Let's go quickly, the trial is about to begin, we must not be late!"

……

To put it simply, the final trial is the last test for those brave candidates who have been selected. Although it is called a test, in fact, those who can reach this step have basically been determined to be a member of the brave team. Therefore, it is just a formality. The content of the test is also very simple, which is: maze strategy!

"Well, it's called a maze, but it was actually explored by the Kingdom Knights several years ago. Now, there's no danger inside except for some low-level monsters. In fact, it's just for those selected to go in and show their strength and enhance their prestige in the hearts of the people!"

Since they are a team destined to defeat the devil and save the world, the support of the masses is naturally indispensable, so this final trial will take place. As the eldest princess, Xia Lu obviously understands this matter very well, so she introduced it to Amy in such a casual tone. Of course, Amy is not really interested in these things. After all... no matter how exciting it is, she can't see it herself!

The carriage set out from the imperial city and stopped after passing a not-too-bumpy road. Amy, who seemed to have fallen asleep on the road for some reason, woke up with the help of Xia Lu. Then, Amy got out of the car with her. The first thing she noticed was the fragrance of plants lingering around her nose, which clearly told them that they were obviously in a forest. After walking forward for a distance, a gust of wind filled with an uncomfortable smell came towards them.

"We're here, this is the entrance to the maze!"

A laughing voice came from beside her. It was Xia Lu's voice, but for some reason, Amy suddenly felt something was amiss... It was Xia Lu's voice, but...

"Xiao Lu, shouldn't we be watching the battle? Why are we coming straight to the maze?"

The maze trial was the final test for the brave teams, and this test would be projected into the Imperial City's Grand Arena via magical projection so that the entire city could watch it in real time. Normally, she should have been led there by Xia Lu, but now she was brought to the entrance of the maze. This development immediately made Amy a little confused, but her doubts were answered the next second:

"I heard you're that commoner's sister... How wonderful! Two sisters, one pretending to be confused to deceive the third princess, the other pretending to be pitiful to deceive the eldest princess. They're both bitches... They both deserve to die!"

Following these words filled with resentment, before Amy could react, a sudden force came from behind her, causing her to subconsciously take two steps forward, and then her feet were empty and she fell directly to the ground.

"Bang~~"

"Woo..."

The sudden burst of cold air made Amy shiver subconsciously. After she fumbled to stand up from the ground, she immediately began to sort out the things in front of her in her mind: It was obvious that the person just now was not the Xia Lu she knew, but someone else, and the purpose of the other party's attack on her seemed to be because of her relationship with Xia Lu... and it seemed that there was also a relationship between her sister and the third princess.

Then he was now in a maze. The other party obviously wanted to harm him but didn't want him to do it himself, so he brought him here and pushed him into the maze, letting him be killed by the monsters in it. After all, although it was a processed maze, the monsters in it still existed, and for a blind man like him, even the lowest level monsters were obviously a huge threat!

Of course, that was when the other party didn't know how strong Amy was!

"Looks like the best thing to do now is to quickly find the other contestants...it would be best if I could find my sister and go out together!"

The maze has a characteristic, that is, after entering the maze, unless a certain existence conquers it, that is, eliminates the master of the maze, everyone who enters will be trapped inside and unable to get out. This is why Amy couldn't just turn around and leave even though she was pushed down only a few steps. After thinking about the next actions she could take in her mind, facing the darkness in front of her, Amy stretched out her hand and began to grope forward.

28. Seems to have discovered something

(I don’t know who to focus on as the protagonist.)

"Amy? Why is she there?"

In the Imperial City Arena, on the highest spectator stand, all the guardian knights in the maze were dismissed due to the assessment, and then the scene in the maze was restored in front of all the spectators in the arena through magic images. Naturally, the third princess was the first to learn about the uninvited guest who suddenly broke into the maze. However, she originally thought that it was some scoundrel who took advantage of the assessment to sneak in and cause trouble, but she never thought that the person who appeared in front of her was Amy, Ai Xue's sister!

Such a sudden change made the third princess's expression change slightly, and at the same time, a hint of unknown light flashed in her eyes.

"Shouldn't Amy be with the Imperial Sister right now? If she's there, then... where's the Imperial Sister?"

Early in the morning, Xia Lu excitedly went to pick up Amy to come here to watch the game. Xueli originally thought that the two of them had forgotten the time because they were playing on the street and that was why they hadn't arrived yet. In addition, the secret guards she had assigned to Xia Lu did not respond at all, so she was not too worried. However, when she saw Amy suddenly appear in the maze, she immediately realized that something had happened.

"Go... send secret guards to find out where the princess is. Once they find her, escort her here safely!"

"Yes!"

A response came from behind, but no figure appeared. After thinking for a moment, Xueli looked at Amy who was still groping forward on the screen in front of her and said:

"After finding the eldest princess, have the secret guards go to the maze and bring Amy out safely with my magic seal!"

Although the other party is Ai Xue's sister and also her sister's playmate, in Xue Li's heart, the other party is obviously not as important as Xia Lu. Therefore, even if she wants to save her, she must do so after ensuring her sister's safety. As for if Amy encounters danger in the meantime... she can only hope for the best!

"Yes!"

The second response seemed to indicate that there were no more instructions. A black shadow appeared silently and then disappeared behind Xueli in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared, full of mystery.

……

"Your Highness, Princess..."

The person sent out brought news about Xia Lu in less than three minutes. It seemed that the attacker who deceived Amy had no intention of hurting Xia Lu, so he simply tricked her out of the carriage while Amy was asleep under the pretext of reporting something, and then took the opportunity to assassinate Amy. As for Xia Lu, she was now looking for her everywhere because of Amy's disappearance, so she had not come yet.

After receiving this answer, Xueli nodded immediately and made an analysis in her mind:

"Looking at this situation, the other party is obviously coming for Amy... no, it should be said that they are coming for the sisters! My sister's personality seems casual but she is very cautious. Logically, she shouldn't be sent away so easily. So the person who can do this can obviously only be someone who knows her very well... Someone from the royal family? It seems necessary to investigate!"
