I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Inès and W walked side by side in front, and Viego walked behind like a follower, feeling relieved.

At least this way, I can make my presence less noticeable, so I won't be dragged into the war between two women all of a sudden...

W sneered: "Heh, Captain Ines thinks there's something wrong with what I said?"

"Hmph..." Ines snorted calmly: "Just reminding you not to speak rudely to 'my people'. Viego is my team member, it is not your turn to discipline him."

Inès also emphasized the word "my people" and retorted in the same way that W had mocked her before.

"Okay, okay." W smiled, with a bright and beautiful smile. "You want to play it this way, right?"

"Just telling the truth." Ines's words seemed to be sharp. She glanced at the white-haired man behind her and said, "Do you think Viego is just your plaything? I beg to differ."

Here she comes, she comes with the tactic of using a knife to kill someone and sow discord!

Viego groaned in pain and had to lower his head silently, hoping that the two women who were verbally fighting would not ignite the war on him.

But unfortunately, most of the time, reality is never as we wish.

W slowed down, and Inès followed suit.

Viego also slowed down.

But W pulled him over.

Viego was sandwiched between Ines and W, with crazy black stockings on the left, cool white legs on the right, and the word "Danger" written across his head.

It’s over.

The death star above my head seems to be lighting up.

W smiled brightly, knowing that Viego would definitely take the opportunity to escape, so he simply held down his shoulders to prevent him from escaping, and smiled at him and said:

"Viego, do you think what your Captain Ines said is right? Captain Ines actually said that I just treat you as a toy? I have never had such a thought, but I don't know why Captain Ines would think so."

W covered his "surprised" mouth with his other hand:

"Oh my, could it be that... Captain Ines is the one who really thinks this? No wonder she keeps Viego with her even though she obviously doesn't like him. So she wants to throw him away when she gets tired of him? Oh my, this is really scary~"

W, you are good at being sarcastic, but I beg you, can you please not use me as a knife to be sarcastic to Inès?

I don't want to be dragged into your war! Why don't you just fight, and whoever wins takes me away!

Viego's other shoulder was also held down by a slender, white hand.

The strength is not small.

Ines had no expression on her face, but her brows were obviously frowned a little: "Viego, what do you think of me as a captain?"

"W keeps saying this to you, you must be upset, right?" Ines glanced at him with her golden eyes, and pressed her palm on Viego's shoulder slightly. "You are much happier with me than with W who insults you, right?"

"Ahem...Puhahaha...I insulted him??"

When W heard this, he burst into laughter and almost leaned on Viego's shoulder, shaking all over and laughing.

Inès: “?” What’s wrong with W?

W laughed for a while, and finally calmed down. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Ines, "Captain Ines, you must know that Viego is a leg control, right? Oh, what's going on?"

W looked down in surprise and looked at the black stockings on her legs:

"Could it be that Viego likes me more and doesn't like Captain Ines that's why he has never shown his love for Captain Ines' long legs?"

Viego turned his head and glared at W.

Hey, that's too much! You shouldn't slander others like that!

And how come this topic becomes more and more dangerous the more we talk about it? !

I'm not a leg control freak, I don't like your black stockings, and I don't like Ines' long legs. I just like the curse of ruin on the fragments in your bodies!

"I'm not..."

“Shut up!” “Shut up.”

The two women's voices rang out at the same time, interrupting Viego's defense.

Viego closed his mouth, feeling that this was not the worst situation.

Think about it from another angle. Ines and W are holding him down like this, which means they are in physical contact with him, which means they have double the amount of Ruin Curse to absorb...

Viego looked around as he felt the Curse of Ruin gradually growing stronger and filling up his body.

Now...it seems pretty good?

——Viego has always been good at comforting himself.

Chapter 18: Can I touch your legs if I come back alive?

"Ines, W, what are you doing..." Hedley looked at the two women who were holding Viego in the middle, one holding each shoulder like a prisoner.

Viego raised his head and looked at him for help.

Hedley, you are the only one I can rely on now!

save!

Viego is asking for help.

W smiled brightly, while Inès looked indifferent, but her brows were obviously frowned.

The two women's attention was not focused on Viego, but their attention was on Viego.

Seeing them like this, Hedley had no idea what was going on.

W and Ines must have been fighting again. W was unhappy because I let Viego join Ines' team.

The two of them have always been a bit like enemies who will never meet again. Even without Viego, they are bound to quarrel when they get together. What's more, there is Viego as a fuse.

I was negligent in this regard.

It's hard for Viego.

Inès and W ignored Hedley and just looked at Viego, waiting for his answer.

"Viego, just tell me, do you prefer to follow Ines or me?" W smiled brightly, but his hand on Viego's shoulder tightened slightly.

——This is to remind him to answer properly and not let me down, otherwise I will...

On the other shoulder, Ines's grip also tightened slightly, and she said calmly, "Just tell the truth. Don't worry about what W will do to you. You are my team member."

Viego blinked at Hedley frantically, as if his eyelids were twitching.

The distress signal is about to get rotten, where are my teammates? Help!

"Uh... that..." Hedley said tentatively: "How about letting Viego join my team...?"

"No." "I don't agree!"

W and Inès' voices rang out one after another, and fierce gleams flashed in their eyes as they looked at Hedley.

A drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down Hedley's forehead. Looking at the pitiful Viego, he decided to make one last effort to try to save him.

"Why don't we discuss the next action plan first, and when the meeting is over, you two can discuss Viego's ownership?"

Inès snorted, "Humph... Viego is originally a member of my team. But the meeting does have a higher priority, I agree."

W naturally would not continue to make trouble and said with a smile: "Then let's have a meeting first."

Anyway, she was just a little upset because Ines took Viego away without informing her in advance. This time she just wanted to disgust Ines, not that she really had to get Viego back.

W also knew that was impossible. Ines was obviously worried about Viego, so Hedley would naturally prefer to let Ines, who was an expert in this field, look after Viego and ensure that nothing happened before the action.

——Just like when W first joined, he also worked with Inès for a period of time.

To some extent, this can be considered as part of the job entry test. During the internship period, everyone will have such a few days.

Therefore, W actually just wanted to cause trouble for Inès, and now, her goal has obviously been achieved.

——Even a blind person can see that Inès is not in a good mood at the moment.

The crazy woman and the vicious woman put down their hands that were pressing on Viego's shoulders and sat down by the campfire, where Hedley was unfolding a map.

Hedley looked up at Viego and said, "Viogo, I'll ask you to make sure the surroundings are safe."

As expected of a leader, he can even tell people to get lost so nicely. Is this the art of speaking?

Viego looked at Hedley gratefully, nodded, and turned to stand a little further away.

Don't worry, Hedley, I will always remember your kindness in saving my buddy today.

but...

There really is a fragment of Isolde in Inès's body.

When Ines' hand pressed on Viego's shoulder, he indeed felt the power of the Curse of Ruin coming from Ines' body, which he absorbed and turned into his own nourishment.

Now the Curse of Ruin in his body has become much stronger than when he first arrived in the other world. Viego can feel that if he releases the black mist with all his strength, it can at least completely cover a dagger.

To put it simply, your health points are restored and a small amount of experience is gained, and you are truly upgraded from level 0 to level 1. However, the debuff that causes continuous blood loss is not eliminated, and you still need to rely on contact with W and Ines to restore your health points.

From this perspective, W and Ines seem to be his mobile fountains.

It's all thanks to W... Viego couldn't help but sigh: Although he was tortured, he also gained equal benefits.

If W hadn't caused this incident today, Viego would have to wait until a long time to meet Ines and confirm whether there were any fragments in her body.

This can be considered as... a blessing in disguise?

"Hedley, don't let your guard down against him." Inès glanced at the white-haired man who had his back to the three of them not far away.

"I still can't sense his shadow. Maybe this is his talent, or maybe he has never let down his guard against me."

Inès was sure that Viego couldn't hear their whispered conversation at this distance - although it wouldn't matter even if he heard it.

After all, the four people present were well aware of her wariness and caution towards Viego.

"Of course I won't, but I still think... Ines, are you overreacting a little?" Hedley reminded:

"Even if Viego had no hostility originally, he might become hostile to us in this state. Perhaps you could hold back a little."

"I have restrained myself." Inès said coldly. "At least I didn't force him to question me. He is not a fool and can understand my attitude."

"You're so wary of Viego?" W laughed in surprise. "But you actually praised him? Hey, you're not really..."

"I didn't realize you trusted him that much?" Ines asked, interrupting W. "You're also wary of him, aren't you?"

W sneered and mocked Inès: "Ha... So you can use your Originium skills to check on your companions? That's not the kind of defense you think, you are a woman with no charm but long legs."

"Why, my legs are just longer than yours, are you jealous?" Ines retorted coldly.

Hedley covered his forehead with a headache. Seeing that W and Inès were about to quarrel again, he quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, alright... Let's put Viego's matter aside for now, and talk about the next action first. Each mercenary group will escort their employer in stages, and our mission will only last three days..."

......

After a moment, the three stood up, and W and Hedley left in the direction of their respective teams.

W put his hand on his shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and smiled brightly: "Viego, don't die, okay? If you come back alive, I will allow you..."

Viego quickly covered her mouth and said, "W, I know you want to let me touch your legs if you come back alive, but with the war just around the corner, don't say such unlucky words. It could kill people."

You can't just put up a death flag in this kind of battle!

W: "???"

When did I ever tell you to touch my legs?
