A tiny shudder spread rapidly from the neck across the smooth and elegant back, along the spine to the tail vertebrae. After a short burst of difficult-to-suppress rapid breathing, the arched back was pulled backward due to uncontrollable muscle spasms. The body jumped a few times, and the canary, who should have been reserved and elegant, collapsed to the ground like a frog with broken bones.
"You really are a small fry among small fry."
"Yes, I am."
Dorothy hummed a cry as thin as a mosquito's buzz. This sound was obviously caused by the tightening of her throat. With her sense of shame, it was impossible for her to cry out of sadness.
But tears did well up in the corners of her eyes. The charming girl raised her cheeks, rubbed the thumb in front of her, slightly opened her red lips, and held it in her mouth.
Leon grabbed the devil's hand.
The message Dorothy conveyed to him at this moment was absolute attachment and absolute obedience. Lin Mengmu's instantaneous emotion broke through some of his inner defenses, and as his blood began to flow at an almost trembling pace, a sharp pain rose in his unconscious left arm.
Obviously, it was not the sense restored by the left arm, but it was the curse that affected Leon's spirit more deeply along with his mood.
The spines on the left arm became visibly longer, bent, and twisted together.

convert.
Li Ang made a decision immediately. According to the system's instructions, he invested the career points that had increased significantly after the settlement event into the Devil's Hand skill. 700 points were immediately drained.
[Tip: The control direction of spiritual suffocation has been expanded. The skill [Spiritual Grasp] has been learned.]
"call."
Li Ang let out a sigh.
The change in his arm also frightened Dorothy. Her face changed anxiously, and she no longer cared about her mood. She jumped up and nervously held Leon's left shoulder, and the endless softness rubbed against her left side.
"It's okay, already."
Seeing that Leon quickly "controlled" the changes in the devil's hand, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, but it was obvious that the left arm had become even more hideous.
"We need to fix this problem quickly, don't we?" the half-elf asked.
"Well, the original plan was to go as soon as the boat was built, but a bunch of things delayed us. Don't worry, it's under control."
With a system to back it up, the problem isn't particularly serious at the moment, but Leon still feels bad about his career points. This way, he doesn't have to worry about whether to invest them in demonic abilities, as they've already been eaten up.
I hope this trick can have a good effect.
Leon grabbed the air, and a vase ornament added by the Shadow Factory in Dorothy's house flew up out of thin air, drew an arc and landed in his palm.
"Wow, so powerful?"
Dorothy was the first member of the group to witness this move. Seeing Leon's face relax, she was no longer worried or scared, and gently stroked his demonic palm.
"It's okay. I haven't tried it on the enemy, so I don't know how strong it is."
The half-elf nodded, his rainbow eyes rolling.
What new idea does she have?
"How about using it on me?"
"How can it be used on you? That's nonsense."
"Anyway, I won't die. Pain or injury will—ouch!"
Li Ang slapped her in the face: "Don't be so frivolous about a power you're not sure of."
"Ok."
The charming woman pouted and rubbed her flat and beautiful forehead, then smiled again: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
"Yes."
At this point, Li Ang has given up on being a gentleman.
"Hehe, then please let your beloved little flower finish serving you~"
Dorothy happily knelt down again and hugged her lover's calves.
After cleaning up, Li Ang bullied it.
Despite his boastful words beforehand, saying that he had controlled the magic flower and had more patience than before, fainting was still the final outcome.
But this time she did persist a little longer than before. She didn't faint when she was touched. At least she didn't faint until she reached the limit in his hands.
The next day, Leon's brief tender time with his girlfriends ended, and Morales brought back news about the Order Air Cavalry.
There was only one new visitor to the Shadow Factory, a tall blond young man wearing a knight's silver armor.
He wore a narrow and slender longsword at his waist. The shape of the guard was somewhat like a rapier, and the magic power filled on it showed that it was a treasure.
Being able to wield a Noble Phantasm, coupled with the emblem on his armor, his identity is clear—Melegon, the leader of the Order Foil Corps, who guards the airspace of Flores.
This person holds the same position as Alafia. Although his strength is a little different from that of the eldest lady of a special weapon race, he is also a top-level expert.
[Name: Melegan Sack]
[Race: Human]
[Occupation: Cavalry, Level 9]
[Summon: Thunder Hippogriff, Level 8]
[Energy Source: Blue Steel Severance, Level 9]
[Equipment: Blue Steel Severance [Noble Phantasm], Rank 9. Order Air Cavalry Regiment Refined Armor Set, Rank 7]
[Secret Technique: Comprehensive Secret Technique - Thunderous Breaking Flash, Roaring Duel Field [Field]]
[Skills: Cavalry [Horse-Man-Horse Unity, Dragoon Tactics, Siege Assault, Glory Command], Summoned Beast [Thunder Strike], Noble Phantasm [Steel Slash], Set [Damage Reduction, All Attribute Reduction, Continuous Healing]]
[Combat Power Increase: 56%]
After Morales introduced the young man's identity, the great engineer Locke immediately shook hands with him. Through the introduction of an old friend, Leon also greeted him.
Even though Leon had never seen these Knights of Order commanders, he knew them because they were at the same level as Alafia.
"Spell Master Leon, nice to meet you. I've heard of you."
Melegon's appearance is somewhat feminine, but his voice is completely the opposite, somewhat rough and very masculine.
"The Speaker has already informed us of the turmoil in the Holy Sporil Empire. Before that, we also sent knights to assist the Flame Corps in resolving their blockade of the waterway. That's when we heard about what you did on Spark Island."
"I see." Leon nodded to Melgon with some doubt.
He knew in his heart that this was another example of Ella Fiya deliberately promoting his reputation and helping him to build up his achievements and reputation.
"I heard the Empire was plotting something in the Helm City, so I immediately rushed here with my elite troops. I'm aware of your plan. They've already parked their ships in the distant clouds. When the battle begins, we'll quickly encircle them."
The mist that Melgon was referring to wasn't natural, but rather a magical artifact. The Order Sky Knights possessed a variety of equipment with different functions, including potions to repel monsters from their routes and mist generators to conceal their movements.
Melegon sneered, "I came to the island in person to help you all deal with the imperial forces and the corrupted members of the air cavalry."
This is obviously a genuine, upright and incorruptible knight of order.
Now it's time to start planning.
The first step of the action is to let Andasu come forward and destroy the places of those airship racers.
"Are they still holding training matches?" Li Ang asked.
"Our people are watching. We stopped for a day, but the competition started again." Locke said.
The day it stopped was probably because the imperial forces went to investigate the previous "demon disaster".
Since there are still training matches, there is no problem with the plan and it will proceed as usual.
Li Ang put the newly renovated Wolf Run into the dimensional rift and returned to the ground with Andasu and Huozui Zhongde.
This operation is of great importance. All members of the Star Flower Brigade, Morales, the core members of Shadow Factory, and Melegon have returned to the ground. They will observe the development of the situation at the good surveillance locations that the members of Shadow Factory had found earlier.
As for why Huozui Zhongde followed, this was also part of the plan.
Although Leon felt that this guy also had selfish motives, his presence could indeed gain more trust from the rowers.
Since the host that group found dared to use his name, he must have known him. With his presence, Andasu's identity as the "Platinum Ace" would be more easily confirmed.
She originally planned to disguise herself as a passing legendary player, but the previous contact had exposed her identity as the Sky Knight, so in order to prevent any accidents, Leon had to keep up.
Although he had originally planned to sneak in together, he did not want Andasu to enter the factory full of dangers alone. He originally planned to disguise himself as a maintenance engineer's assistant, but now he just acted as a spokesperson.
Approaching the noisy crowd, on the wide field, a row of small racing boats were roaring their engines, ready to go amid screams.
The rowers had not yet boarded the boat, but they were constantly turning and waving to the fans, creating wave after wave of enthusiasm.
When the atmosphere was at its most heated, they entered the small airship at the host's call, let the engine roar for a while, and then rushed out of the track to the countdown.
The audience looked up at the airships taking off one after another and entering the competition state, enthusiastically speculating about today's competition results and winners.
323. The Rebirth of the Wolf
"Whether you've just arrived at the Rudder City today or are already here, good news to all the ladies who have arrived. Before our 'Double Eagle Rudder' celebration reaches its climax, today is our final training match!"
The host "Reard" wore a cloak of the apex of the soul and spoke loudly to all around.
"When the official competition arrives, no matter which of our twelve rowers wins the final victory, he and the shipyard he represents will ascend the steps of glory. Hehe, perhaps after that, that shipyard will become a pioneer in the global shipbuilding industry!"
Reard waved his finger at the rowers ready to go, "And after today, the rowers here will become even more valuable, becoming stars in the sky! By then, they'll be surrounded by a crowd, and it'll be hard to even approach them!"
Huo Zui De laughed disapprovingly: "Just those guys?"
His voice startled the people next to him. This guy had a loud voice and a nonchalant tone. It was hard not to be noticed when he was singing a different tune in public.
However, he also controlled his voice and did not directly disrupt the host standing on the high ground, because the best was yet to come.
Reed changed into clothes similar to the ones he wore in the Glittering Fields, without covering up the horrific scars and iron cage mask on his face. This look was enough to attract attention even in Newbiss, where there were many adventurers.
There were naturally many people around who followed the crowd, but there were also players who truly loved airship racing. They noticed the face of Huozui Zhongde, their expressions changed, and they tried to squeeze through the crowd and walk to his side.
Seeing that someone had noticed him, Huochui smiled with satisfaction and turned his attention back to the field. However, someone would not let him go and had already started arguing with him.
"Hey, what did you just say? Are you trying to follow the crowd and criticize us? We're competing for us, and you're making sarcastic remarks..."
As the host Reard spoke, the expressions of the racers changed, and the crowds enthusiastically cheering for them immediately came over.
Some seemed to be looking forward to the glory that would come after success, while others were looking at their rowing boats and thinking about something.
After a round of photo-taking and autographing, they finally stepped into their own boats under the command of Reard.
"Alright, the final training match is about to begin. Everyone, you can place your bets now. Will our Sky Flame Ace, Gel, maintain the most victories? Or will someone else, who's still nipping at the heels, take the throne? Please wait and see!"
Not far from Reard were some people wearing the Soul Peak cloak like him. They pulled up a table and started a gambling game.
"Is this the idea of these Soul Apex branch members, or does Ramsay really rely on gambling to make money?" Farina asked as she watched the scene.
Compared to Leon, she had been away from the group for a long time and no longer knew Ramus at all.
"It's hard to say. At least on the surface, Ramsay would say he wouldn't do such a low-class thing, but if someone does it, he won't stop them."
Xiao Mo sneered, and Farina shook her head.
This group of people must have made a lot of money these days. Li Ang said, "It's a pity there is no thirteenth option, otherwise they would have lost everything."
Andasu tightened her gloves.
At this moment, those who are stronger and have important positions are standing on the small platform where they can see the starting line of the training match. Here are Melgon, Morales, Locke, and of course Farina, Leon and An Dasu are here too.
This is a blind spot in a building. Only the local bosses in Shadow Factory know about it, and tourists have no way of finding it.
The engine of the Wolf Run has been preheated, and the low sound of its operation is like the low moan of a giant wolf before hunting.
The beast-eared girl no longer wore her previous sailing suit. This Dark Lantern suit was more convenient for her to move around in than the ordinary competition suit.
"Get ready."
As the racing boats below took their positions, Leon and Andasu sat in the cockpit together.
Although she only needed to defeat those guys this time and didn't need a navigator, Leon was there to prevent any accidents, such as if the Empire really did not play by the rules and tried to shoot down the Wolf.
"Then everything is ready!"
Reard shouted
Huo Zui Zhongde raised his hands with a smile on his face, and the fans surrounding him scolded him, "Do you dare to say that again?"
"I say, none of these handsome guys with pale faces can win."
"start!"
The host's roar, amplified by a loudspeaker, drowned out the shouts of angry fans. The engines of twelve small airships roared simultaneously, the sound waves shaking the earth, and the strong wind blew up the hems of the onlookers' clothes and the colorful flags on the streets.
The racing boats rushed into the sky, leaving trailing shadows in the same color as their respective shipyards' paint schemes, and immediately passed through the circles that had been preset in the sky, climbing in altitude.
