"..."

Boudica remained silent.

She certainly knew how torturous it was to maintain such a high level of defense for a long time.

Perhaps because she wanted to stand on the same side as her lover, or perhaps out of her sense of responsibility towards Britannia, the queen finally nodded.

"I understand - in that case, I'll go with you!"

Ian knew how much courage it took for Boudica to say such a thing - this was an enemy she had been fighting for a whole year, and now she had finally made up her mind to explore its source.

The man knows that he can never betray this trust.

His eyes fell on Jing Ke who was standing beside him.

"What do you want to do?"

The girl felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and subconsciously stepped back a little.

"Why are you looking at me like that - it's a bit scary, you know?"

"Well, if you feel that way, I apologize."

"but--"

Ian's eyes became more serious, which was the reaction he would have when he was determined to accomplish something.

"I need your help now, Jing Ke."

"Need my help?"

Looking at the man in front of him who exuded decisiveness, Jing Ke's throat moved slightly.

"You...what do you mean? You should know that I'm not as powerful as you - are you sure you want me to help you like this?"

Although he said he would be ruthless just now, in his heart Jing Ke actually admired anyone who could defeat him in a duel.

after all--

If someone can beat you, it means you are far from reaching your limit and there is still room for improvement.

The more powerful the person who defeats you is, the greater the room for improvement!

"I know." Ian nodded, "But in this situation, only someone like you can help me."

In the next few minutes, Ian told Jing Ke about the shadows in a relatively tactful way.

After hearing all this, the girl in white's expression gradually changed from uneasiness at the beginning to surprise.

"You mean... those dark shadows last night were actually the ones that brought disaster to this era, and I was in cahoots with them?"

"So that's true," Ian said directly. "But if you can help us, then you are not in the same group with them, and naturally you are not a threat to people."

"..."

Jing Ke's face was tense, and it was obvious that these contents had caused her a great psychological impact.

Just think about it, this is not surprising.

The young female assassin, who originally intended to eliminate the evil for the people of this era, finally found herself in cahoots with the evildoer, which was more or less hard to accept.

"You are not lying to me, are you?" Jing Ke tightened his grip on the dagger. "I hate being deceived the most."

"If that's the case, I'll make you pay for it even at the cost of my life."

"There is no need for us to lie to you about this." Boudica said sincerely, "In fact, I have led the people of Britannia to resist the shadow for more than a year."

"Jing Ke, if possible, please help the people of Britannia."

"..."

Looking at Boudica who had just untied him, Jing Ke was obviously shaken.

After a long silence, she nodded, indicating that she had decided to help both of them.

"I understand - in that case, please allow me to lend you a hand."

"That's great!" Boudica was very happy to hear this.

But this emotion didn't last long because she thought of other things.

"Speaking of which-"

The Queen of Britannia looked at her "fiancé" beside her

"What exactly should we do next?"

"Let's wait until night."

Ian's eyes fell on the chariot beside him.

Even though he knew more information than the two people beside him, at this moment he could only take one step at a time.

There was still a long time before evening, and Jing Ke, who was feeling a little nervous, took the initiative to find a topic.

"By the way, were you also summoned to this world like me?"

"No." Boudica shook her head, "I am originally from here."

"And his words..."

The Queen of Britannia looked at the man beside her cautiously, fearing that her words would make him unhappy.

However, no, Ian quickly replied:

"Well... you can understand me as someone who was summoned here."

"Oh...I see." Jing Ke nodded thoughtfully, "Then what is your reason for coming to this world? Do you want to kill the emperor named Nero like me?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have that idea at all - and contrary to you, what I want is to protect her."

Hearing this, Boudica's expression became a little complicated, but she soon felt relieved.

There is nothing to worry about...he originally belonged to her.

And I also said on that day that I would silently protect their relationship.

It's already great to have his promise to have a child with me. If I continue to ask for more, it would be too much.

"Is she... really that good?" Jing Ke crossed his arms, looking very confused. "Why do I feel like you two are teaming up to deceive me?"

"Heh..." Ian smiled. "Whether I lied to you or not, you will know when you go with us to meet Nero."

"Hey, this..."

Jing Ke realized that this was an invitation and smiled.

“It seems so.”

Time passed slowly during the conversation.

Before the sun completely set, Bai Ming contacted BB in Chaldea, hoping that she could report his safety to Tamamonomae and Mashu on his behalf.

Although bb was a little confused as to why the three of them suddenly separated, he still agreed to this.

After all, I had already agreed to help him when they were doing it in bed. As a super AI, I certainly can't go back on my word.

"Don't worry, piglet. BB will contact them."

After the communication ended, Jing Ke looked at Ian from another era who had been connected out of nowhere, and his expression was very surprised.

However, there seemed to be something wrong with what she was surprised about.

"Do you have creations like this?"

"what do you mean?"

"Nothing." Jing Ke took out his wine gourd and took a sip. "Just think of it as me talking about something boring."

"Now, let's take a good rest and prepare for tonight's battle."

"kindness."

Night fell on the earth again, and the three people who were prepared began to act.

Boudica looked back into the distance - that was the location of Hadrian's Wall, and it was also the most solid front line of defense against the black shadow.

The Queen of Britannia knew that even if she was not commanding on the Wall, there would definitely be warriors who would take the initiative to fight against the shadows.

If the black shadow could really be eliminated, we wouldn't have to live that kind of life anymore!

Thinking of this, Boudica felt more courageous.

She grasped the reins of the chariot and spoke to the two people traveling with her.

"Let's go! Let's go and destroy them! That way, everyone in Britannia won't have to work so hard!"

The chariot blessed by the goddess started to move again, and this time its target was the source of the black shadow!

Just like last night, as night fell over the land, those dark shadows that could not be called living creatures appeared again.

This is a terrifying scene:

Countless things that looked like humans but were not human kept emerging from the ground, and then slowly moved forward with extremely twisted movements.

From time to time, a few eyes would pop up, looking at everything around them without any emotion.

This was a scene that would make even a man like Ian feel uncomfortable, not to mention Jing Ke and Boudica beside him.

The man patted the two girls on the shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and then comforted them:

"No problem. As long as the source is resolved, we won't have to see things like this again."

"That's right./That makes sense!" Jing Ke and Boudica answered almost at the same time.

The chariot continued to move forward.

Because of Jing Ke's presence, the black shadows that were supposed to attack the chariot seemed to have lost their sight and ignored its existence.

Ian further confirmed his previous thought—Jing Ke and the "master" of these black shadows must be the same person.

There is a high probability that this person is Agrippina.

"You two, take your weapons. We may be ready to fight at any time."

After Ian said this, he also prepared his memory projection ability.

He had already prepared himself mentally. If necessary, he would not hesitate to drop the forged holy spear - even if it might cost him a heavy price.

After all...if there is no way to eliminate the dark shadows in these singularities, it will be impossible to complete the repair.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the scene the group saw finally changed.

Shadows no longer appeared from the ground without reason, but appeared from deeper and deeper places like ripples on a lake.

Such a strong magic...

No, there is not only magic here, but also extremely powerful resentment!

Something dangerous is nearby!

"Wait for me on the chariot!"

After Ian said this, he got out of the car alone.

This behavior quickly attracted the attention of the black shadow, but the man didn't care at all.

As someone who had personally fought against Agrippina, he was extremely familiar with the magic of that evil woman.

At this moment, the magic lingering over this land cannot be said to be exactly the same as hers, but it is at least very similar.

The black shadows kept coming, but were soon knocked away by the man's projected sword of victory (Excalibur).

The concentration of magic power is getting higher and higher, and it is becoming clearer and clearer.

Finally, after Ian had been rushing around alone for who knew how long, he finally saw that familiar figure.

The woman who appeared to dress herself noble but actually used all kinds of vicious means behind the scenes was standing there.

This is Agrippina, Nero's biological mother.

"Seneca!"

Seeing the man appear in front of her, Agrippina screamed hysterically.

Obviously, this vicious woman hated the man who had blocked her countless times.

"you again!"
