Lords go left, Emperors go right

"Your Highness Aosta, the conditions here are not bad. I will wait for your good news. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the real seal of my father, Count Rayland, is hidden in the mansion... It is a high-imitation substitute for the seal that my brother Baron Raymont took away. If you go to the mansion, please help me get it back."

“No problem, just wait here for good news. But, Reina, the seal is useless to me, so I might as well choose you.”

"Your Highness Aosta, when you get the seal back, the infection in our bodies will be resolved. If you want, it's not impossible..."

"Reina, then we have an agreement. Don't regret it when the time comes."

"Your Highness Aosta, I will not go back on my word. Keeping my oath is the code of a knight."

Reina blushed and shyly told Osta the hiding place of her father, Count Rayland's official seal, and asked him to find it back. The official seal taken away by Baron Raymont who escaped before was a high-quality counterfeit, and it would not have any legal effect when it returned to the Western Continent.

Reina was still very uneasy about Osta. She still remembered the special look of the gentleman prince. Therefore, she was always worried that Osta would take the opportunity to possess them permanently and not send them back to Fitzgerald's territory. However, after spending these days together, Reina's thoughts had changed. Considering that she had been touched all over by the gentleman prince and almost naked, if he was willing to take responsibility, Reina could entrust everything to him.

Reina blushed and gave Osta an almost explicit promise. Osta understood the subtext of Reina's words. On the surface, there was no obvious change in his expression. He was still calm and composed, thinking in his heart. If he hadn't decided on the infection issue, this gentleman prince would have almost kissed her directly.

Although Reina spoke in a low voice, the members of the Thunder Knights present, including the beautiful knights including Vice-Captain Phineas, heard it clearly. They all blushed and lowered their heads with shy expressions, without uttering any objection or making any meaningful comments.

Reina's decision was the decision of the entire Knights. The Thunder Knights were Reina's exclusive maids, and would be married off with the eldest lady, and would become the private collection of a gentleman prince. These beautiful knights quickly figured it out. Aosta had close contact with all the members of the Thunder Knights present, and had a relationship with them long ago, so it was natural for them to be taken down.

Osta instructed the maids who stayed behind in the lord's mansion to let the white witch Gonias and the black witch Loritana take charge, and entrusted them with looking after Miss Reina and the beautiful knights of the Thunder Knights who were stationed in the mansion, and then set off at night.

As he was in a hurry, Osta set out early without waiting for the female clan leaders under him to gather for a meeting and discuss. The information about the mysterious statue could only be obtained after he returned.

"Brother Osta, you... you are so powerful that you were able to borrow a super airship from the Eupheneix Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Continent. They never seem to lend to outsiders. How did you do it?"

"Sister Delis, this is a business secret. I have a cooperative relationship with Miss Lanis. It's natural that she is willing to lend me the airship. There's nothing strange about it."

On the bridge of the super airship Rainbow, Princess Audrey leaned on the railing, looking at the beautiful night view below. It was not until Osta came close to her that the beautiful girl with emerald green hair and emerald eyes reacted.

Princess Audrey had only heard of the airships of the Northern Continent, but she never thought she would have the chance to ride one. She had a new understanding of Osta's abilities and capabilities.

"Brother Osta, you must be careful when dealing with people from the Northern Continent! They are all very shrewd, and you will suffer losses if you are not careful. Miss Lanis may want to take advantage of you to gain some benefits, so she generously lent you the airship."

"Sister Delis, you don't have to worry too much about this. I know what's going on. Lanis is much better than those old men in her family. She is an ideal business partner."

"Brother Osta, are you attracted to her?"

"Sister Delis, let's not talk about this for now. We still have something very important to deal with."

When Audrey saw the confident expression on Osta's face, she stopped reminding him and continued to enjoy the beautiful night view with her lips pursed. Osta did not explicitly deny that he had feelings for Lanis, so Audrey took it as her brother's tacit consent, indirectly admitting that he had another purpose in trading with Lanis.

This time, Osta was accompanied by three exclusive combat maids, Chris, Yulia and Sophia, just like last time. The only difference was that he had a younger sister, Audrey, with him. This time, Osta was mainly covering Audrey's field research on the details of the plague, so he didn't need to deploy too many combat personnel.

The Rainbow was flying very fast in the air. At 10:00 the next morning, it arrived in the airspace near Gerald City, the capital of Fitzgerald Territory, which was faster than using ships. The atmosphere in Gerald City was obviously not right this time. Osta, who was in the airship, could clearly feel that the atmosphere was very different from before he left. After only two or three days, the situation became extremely tense.

Looking down from the air, one can see the pirate fleets of Pirate Queen Belus and Lianna deploying several sea blockades in the offshore area. The pirate warships formed five or six floating isolation lines on the sea, constantly attacking the coast with artillery fire and bows and arrows.

There were a large number of infected people moving around near the coast. They were so numerous that they tried to stay at the dock area. Under the long-range attacks of the pirates using cannons and bows and arrows, the infected people were suppressed by firepower in the area near the sea and could not advance to the sea. The main purpose of Bellus and Lianna was to keep the dock and prevent the infected people from approaching the dock.

"There are so many infected people. It's been less than three days. Did the town of Geral fall? It fell too fast!"

Osta looked at the large number of infected people in the coastal area, and his face gradually became solemn, not as relaxed as before. When he looked at the town of Geral, he found that the several isolation areas originally deployed outside the town had long been breached by the infected, and the isolation fences were all abandoned to the side. The territory guard group that originally controlled this place was gone, and was replaced by a large number of infected people wandering around.

All signs indicate that Jellal Castle ultimately failed to escape the fate of falling. Not long after Osta left with Miss Reina and her members of the Thunder Knights, those beautiful girl knights, the town fell under the siege of the infected in less than two or three days.

The fall was so fast that Osta was caught off guard. At that time, the territory garrison left in Geral City had a total strength of about 30,000. There was no reason why they could not hold out for even two or three days. Osta really couldn't understand how the town of Geral fell completely in such a short time.

"Are those the infected you mentioned? Brother Osta, I feel like they are not much different from the undead summoned by the necromancers using necromancy. It's hard to observe at this distance now."

"Sister Delis, are you sure you want to continue the field investigation? The number of infected people here exceeded my previous prediction. I suggest you go back first. You don't have to worry about what happens next. I will find a way to completely destroy Jellal Castle and bury all the infected people here. I will find a chance to explain to Miss Reina later."

"Brother Osta, if we don't investigate thoroughly, the epidemic may spread to your territory in the future. I'm not afraid as long as I'm here. Besides, they may have just lost their minds temporarily, and there may be a chance for them to become normal again."

Faced with the unpredictable situation, Princess Audrey unexpectedly insisted and did not accept Osta's advice to retreat, but chose to continue investigating. Princess Audrey's emerald green eyes revealed a determined look.

Osta knew that he couldn't change Audrey's decision, so he had to continue the investigation. After all, he had to improve his sister's favor, so Osta just treated it as playing with his sister Audrey for a while.

The streets of Gerald City were filled with infected people, and living people had almost disappeared without a trace. This made it difficult for Osta to find a place to land, and several squares suitable for airship landings were crowded with infected people.

After careful consideration, Osta temporarily changed the plan. The airship "Rainbow" did not land, but stayed suspended in the air, ready to retreat at any time. Osta chose to airdrop to the town of Gerard. The "Rainbow" happened to have a parachute bag, or a paraglider, which was originally used as an emergency escape tool in case of an accident. Now it can be used.

The target of the airborne operation was the area around the lord's mansion. According to the division of labor, the holy priest Sophia stayed on the super airship "Rainbow" and waited as a responder. Chris and Julia protected Osta and his sister Audrey and carried out special airborne operations.

For some reason, there were no active infected people in the area around the lord's mansion, so it could be temporarily considered a safe landing point. This place was at least safer than the square outside. There were few areas in Gerald City without infected people, so there were not many landing sites to choose from.

"Sister Delis, after you land successfully, you must listen to my instructions and don't crawl around. There are too many infected people there, and it is easy to get into an accident if you act alone."

"I understand, Brother Osta, I will follow your arrangements."

After Osta's repeated instructions, his little sister Audrey finally nodded solemnly, saying that she would definitely listen to her brother. This made Osta feel a little relieved, as he was afraid that someone in the team would not listen to the command and act alone.

Audrey's combat power is not strong, and her main occupation is a healer. It is very dangerous to move alone in the Jellal city area full of infected people. There is a possibility of being besieged by infected people at any time. Once attacked, this loli is likely to be killed on the spot.

Chapter 97: The Loli Death Passing by at Night

Gerald City, the capital of Fitzgerald Territory, was once the bustling and prosperous largest town in the territory, but now it has become a terrifying forbidden place. The large number of infected people entrenched here has become a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.

It is quite troublesome to deal with such a large number of infected people. This is a different world, and it is impossible to use nuclear bombs to destroy the city and the infected people like on Earth.

If you use super forbidden spells, there are many super forbidden spells that can reach or even exceed the effect of a nuclear explosion. Chris, Yulia and Sophia, the three mysterious exclusive accompanying combat maids around Osta, all have this ability. Of course, this is the worst plan. Osta does not want to go this far unless it is absolutely necessary.

Fitzgerald's territory was at least the neighbor of his own territory. The ruling center of the territory was instantly destroyed by the super forbidden magic, which would easily cause unnecessary national disputes in the future. The former lord of the territory, Earl Rayland, did not report the situation of the territory truthfully to his country. The intelligence obtained by the Grusmore Empire was still at the initial stage of a large-scale plague outbreak in this territory.

There was no idea that there were already infected people here. In the report sent back to the empire by the city lord, Count Leland, there was no mention of the physical changes of the infected after the plague, making them stronger infected people.

At this time, Osta had already approached the lord's mansion in the center of Geral City with a few girls. They were covered with cloth dyes obtained from the dye shop, and they were all colorful, looking very strange.

The strong smell of the dye prevented the infected people along the street from noticing the movements of Osta and his companions. They all relied on their sense of smell to identify humans, and if the smell of a living person was covered by the smell of the dye, it would be difficult to detect.

"Sister Delis, wait a moment. There might be some tricks or traps hidden in this city lord's mansion. I feel that the atmosphere is very different from when I visited a few days ago. You and Chris wait outside first. Yulia and I will go inside to investigate. If there is no problem, we will let you follow."

"Brother Osta, see what you have arranged! Please be safe, I'll be waiting for your good news here."

Audrey did not question Osta's arrangement. She had also felt the malicious gaze coming from the city lord's mansion before. The other party had been secretly observing for too long, and it was easy to be noticed.

Audrey had some concerns, but she didn't say them out loud. After telling her brother Osta to be safe, Audrey and Chris waited near the lord's mansion, secretly lurking in the area around the lord's mansion, ready to pick up Osta and Yulia at any time.

After the division was completed, Grace and Yulia set out together. They did not go through the main gate of the lord's mansion, but sneaked in through the back door. This time the main door of the lord's mansion was open, and the door lock that was locked when they left had been violently broken.

On the ground, you can see the door lock that was broken by the mysterious intruder with brute force. It is twisted beyond recognition. You can only vaguely see that it was once a door lock, which shows how strong the intruder is.

The open front door of the lord's mansion looked more and more like a trap. Osta would definitely not force his way into such an obvious trap. Based on his memory, he took Yulia to the back door of the lord's mansion. The back door was locked from the inside and it looked like it had not been touched. Yulia took out the flying dragon claw used by assassins and hooked it directly above the wall with a flick of her hand. She could climb up from here.

Osta followed Yulia and climbed the wall carefully to sneak into the city lord's mansion. He looked like a thief the whole time. He didn't look like a lord at all, not to mention the unique temperament of a prince of the empire and a member of the royal family. He was like a bandit who broke into a mansion at night, only lacking a black nightgown.

While climbing up the wall, Osta looked up and forward, feeling a little regretful. Yulia was wearing a full set of female armor this time, not her usual black Gothic maid outfit. Otherwise, if she had looked up a little while climbing the wall, she might have seen something different.

"Lord Osta, please be careful not to fall. It's...it's too quiet in here. It's too abnormal."

"Got it. I'll be careful. Did you find anything?"

After the two men climbed up the wall of the lord's mansion, they found that the mansion was empty, almost deserted. Not to mention living people, there was not even an infected person or any corpses. Many places looked very messy and things were turned upside down.

The property in the lord's mansion, all the personal property of the former lord, Earl Rayland, was gone. It had long been emptied by his eldest son, Baron Raymont, and moved to the transport ship of the Grusmore Empire Fleet. The remaining miscellaneous items were worthless.

Osta looked around in confusion. He went to the former lord's study and found that Count Leland's body had also disappeared. Only the dagger and the blood-stained suicide note on the desk were left, proving that the former lord Count Leland had spent the last part of his life here.

Osta was a little embarrassed. He had promised Miss Reina that he would retrieve the body of her father, Count Relande, and bury her properly. Now the body was missing, and he had no way to explain it to Miss Reina when he returned.

"Lord Osta, be careful!"

"Yulia, you...your hand!"

While Osta was still thinking about what happened in the lord's mansion, Yulia beside him suddenly realized something. She stretched out her hand and gently pushed Osta away. At this time, a silver phantom flashed in front of Osta and slashed down with a long-handled weapon.

The weapon that chopped down directly cut off Yuliya's outstretched hand. The opponent's attack speed was so fast that Yuliya had almost no time to react. Yuliya's face did not change. It seemed that she had expected the opponent's attack speed to be so fast. She deliberately let the opponent chop her.

The beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes saw that her severed hand did not bleed or fly away, but the severed part became illusory. It looked like a phantom, and the opponent's move was to cut into the air, without any blood, let alone being cut off.

Yulia could have perfectly avoided the opponent's attack after pushing Lord Osta away, but she took the attack forcefully in order to find a chance to counterattack, and she had been setting a trap for the opponent from the beginning. Anyway, Yulia could be dematerialized, so even if the opponent had a divine weapon, they would be helpless against her.

As one of the several exclusive combat maids accompanying Osta, Yulia's own strength is as unpredictable as the bottomless abyss. When she was attacked this time, Yulia remained calm and looked relaxed. It seemed that she still had some strength left and it was not time for her to fight seriously.

"Hey, how is that possible!"

"You're too young, little girl."

"You... who are you?!"

Yuliya took advantage of the brief moment when the opponent's attack paused to launch a counterattack. She stretched out her other hand and gently pressed the opponent's chest, then gorgeously knocked the opponent away, using energy to directly knock the opponent away. Yuliya showed mercy and only knocked him away. If she had killed him, the energy from the chest attack would have been enough to blow the opponent's upper body into powder.

The unfortunate silver figure was knocked away by Yuliya, but he stabilized his body in the air and almost hit the wall behind him. She reacted quickly, and she had already seen when Yuliya stretched out her hand, but she had no way to avoid it.

Yulia has a special ability that can make the opponent who attacks her appear in a short attack stiff state when the attack is completed. Although it is only a short stiffness time of a few seconds, this time is often enough to determine the final victory or defeat for a master.

After this lightning-fast battle, Osta finally saw the true face of the attacker. She was a petite loli-type beautiful girl, about 156cm tall, with white jade-like skin, which exuded a charming luster under the bright light. That cute and tender face, with delicate features, was like a work of art with exquisite workmanship, and there was almost no flaw to be found.

This mysterious loli has silver-white hair and a high ponytail hairstyle. The super long ponytails extend down from both sides, almost hanging down to the ankles, almost touching the ground. There are many loli-type beautiful girls around Osta, some with ponytails, but their ponytails are not as long as the loli in front of him.

The mysterious loli had a pair of blood-red eyes and a cute expression, with almost no obvious emotional changes. Her blood-red eyes were looking at Yuliya with a wary look, ignoring Osta. The loli had made a mistake in her tactical prediction before. She didn't expect that Yuliya's combat power would be so terrifying that it could not be estimated, and even the attack of the artifact would be invalidated.

Osta was a gentleman, so he certainly couldn't tell the strength of the mysterious loli. Out of habit, he was more interested in the loli's appearance. This mysterious silver-haired loli with twin ponytails was wearing a black, red and white Gothic Lolita-style battle robe, with a handsome black cape behind her, which was designed similar to a dress.

Loli's upper body shows a lot of fair skin, and the size of the breasts is estimated to be around B. Maybe because the clothes are tight, it looks like the size has increased a lot. Anyway, the part exposed outside is very eye-catching.

The mysterious loli had two blood-red leather belts crossed around her slender waist, and black long wrist guards similar to long gloves on her hands. She also had leggings that looked like long boots, which were about the same length as stockings and covered her entire calves.

There were silver platinum guards on Loli's wrists and ankles, and the four guards were inlaid with blood-red oval gems. These blood-red gems contained a lot of death magic, and the breath of death could be felt from a distance.

The most eye-catching thing about this mysterious loli is her weapon, which is a huge black sickle that looks like the sickle of the god of death. The sickle is inlaid with a prismatic blood-red energy gem, which looks very heavy and heavy.

I just don't know how this petite loli can carry such a big sickle of death. When she was found by Osta, the mysterious loli maintained a fighting posture, with her right foot on the ground, her left foot raised and bent, and she was ready to strike forward with her knee. In short, it was a one-legged standing posture with the body leaning forward, holding the sickle of death in both hands, and making a gesture to chop forward.

Osta's attention was not on the loli's posture, but on the legs below. The skirt of the mysterious silver-haired loli had a long skirt design at the back, but a miniskirt design at the front, showing her snow-white thighs. In addition, the loli was barefoot, without wearing shoes, and this aspect was very much to Osta's liking.

This gentleman was so absorbed in admiring the mysterious silver-haired twin-tailed lolita that he even automatically ignored the fact that she almost cut him. If it's cute, most things can be forgiven and ignored.

"Humph, I'll let you off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

"Little girl, don't be so stubborn. Apologize to Lord Osta and explain the reason. Besides, are you sure you can get away?"

"You...what did you say? I...I don't understand. Who can't leave? I'll..."

Although her expression was still calm, the mysterious loli's tone was a little uneasy. She maintained this posture because she didn't want to reveal any flaws. Yulia's counterattack just now had dispersed her strength, and she couldn't recover in a short time.

However, Yulia obviously saw that the opponent was already at the end of his strength, and a wicked smile appeared on her cold face. This mysterious loli couldn't escape. Chris was outside the lord's mansion, so she couldn't escape at all. From the beginning, the outcome of the battle was doomed.

"Osta? You are the lord of our territory!"

"Yes, you were the one who was secretly observing us here before, right? My lovely lady."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't guess, I was looking... Anyway, you got the wrong person."

The mysterious loli was not good at lying, and her identity was soon revealed. She was Mavis, the matriarch of the Styx Extraditers, one of the primitive tribes of the Lonosbil people in the Bloomfield area of ​​the Aosta Territory, and was known as the "Silver Death".

Mephis's combat power ranks high among the matriarchs of primitive tribes. The weapon she uses, the Death Cutter, is said to be a lost artifact, the fallen Death Scythe. This weapon has the same or even greater power and destructive power as the original artifact.

Mevis can skillfully control the power of death, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the real god of death. This time, the loli god of death was unexpectedly defeated, and she did not expect that Yulia's power would easily surpass her who possessed the artifact. Mevis had previously hidden in the lord's mansion and secretly observed Osta and his group. The sight that Osta felt came from this mysterious loli god of death.

"Mavis, could it be that you are the one behind the incident in Jellal Castle?"

"It has something to do with me. No...it wasn't me who did it. I just came to deal with the aftermath. Who knew I would run into you guys?"

"I don't believe it, Yulia, keep this naughty boy under control for the time being."

"Wait, what they said is all true, why don't you believe it! You...you bad sister, don't come over here, stop!"

Chapter 98: The Origin of the Plague and the Secret of the Abyss

In the lord's mansion in the center of Gerald City, the capital of Fitzgerald Territory, Osta and Julia sneaked in and accidentally captured the loli death god Mavis who was trying to sneak attack them. Mavis was the matriarch of the Styx Extraditers tribe, one of the primitive tribes of the Lonosbil people in Osta Territory.

This mysterious silver-haired loli with twin ponytails is ranked among the top in terms of combat power among the female chiefs. Among the female chiefs under Osta, only the "True Valkyrie" Savannah can compete with Mevis, who is the descendant of the goddess and possesses a sacred weapon. If they fight, they are not much inferior to Mevis, and the difference in weapons between the two sides is not very big.

The sickle used by Mavis is the "Death Cutter", one of the lost artifacts. With the special ability of the artifact, "Death Mist", Mavis can hide her whereabouts. She had been hiding in the city lord's mansion before, secretly observing Osta and others moving towards the lord's mansion.

This cute little girl had only heard about Lord Aosta before, but had never met him. At first, Mephis thought that Aosta and his men were here to cause trouble, so she killed them, but she didn't expect that they would easily kill her and she was caught on the spot.

"That's what happened, Lord. They didn't mean to attack you, please believe me."

"That's not right, Sister Mavis. When you attacked just now, you were clearly going to kill me. If Yulia wasn't strong enough to handle it, she and I would have become the dead souls under your scythe."

"This... I'm afraid that you will be infected too. One more infected person means one more trouble. If you deal with the target before you get infected, you won't be infected."

At this time, Mephis had been controlled by Yulia and escorted to Osta. The lost artifact "Death Cutter" sickle in her hand was also confiscated by Yulia.

Mavis' face turned slightly red. The feeling of being controlled by others was very subtle. Yulia's counterattack had already severely injured Mavis. She was unable to exert her fighting power now, and could not pose any threat to Osta like before.

After listening to Mavis' explanation, Osta was speechless about the strange thinking mode of this cute little girl. She was really a genius in logic. As long as the target was killed before being infected, it would not be infected. As long as the target died quickly enough, the infection speed would not keep up.
