Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

Her thoughts now were very simple. She would cooperate with Noah, make Noah her courtier, and satisfy Noah's desires. Abrana liked this person who struggled to move forward in the worst environment.

As for what she wants, it is wealth, power, the satisfaction of succeeding in one's strategy, the pleasure of crushing others, and even carnal desires - I can satisfy her with all of them.

Even if her desires are insatiable, he will hold this woman's leash tightly. Otherwise, how can he be called a king with such magnanimity?

Although Noya didn't know that Abrana had begun to develop a strangely twisted understanding of her, she could feel that Abrana's gaze was getting more and more intense. After sending Abrana away again, Noya touched the goose bumps on her arms and complained to Kuro beside her, "She's not a lesbian, is she after my body?"

"..." Kuro turned his head and looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. "Whether she is greedy for your body or not, you should leave quickly. How is your health?"

"I've almost recovered." Noah sighed. "The problem now is that there's no chance. They're keeping watch very closely. You can't really rely on yourself to defeat a thousand enemies, right?"

"It's not impossible." Kuro was eager to try.

"Come on, I'm kidding. You could easily get hurt like that... Are you some kind of extreme sports enthusiast? You did that back in Kjerag, challenging yourself to surf an avalanche. You can even think of that."

Noah sighed. She really should consider running away. She couldn't stay in such a dangerous place for long. Putting aside Abrana's sexual orientation, this guy had made no effort to conceal his interest in her. At this rate, her chastity—well, never mind that—was definitely not going to end well for her.

But the problem is how to leave. Kuro's strength is enough to fight, but the problem is whether he can take himself with him.

Since I have difficulty in moving, even if I use shadow spells, the other party should be on guard.

After all, shadow spells are not omnipotent. Although they can conceal one's figure, in front of a truly powerful warlock, this concealment can be easily discovered.

In this respect, Viviana was better than him. She could use a refraction spell to reflect visible light, making herself invisible in a sense. Noah had originally wanted to learn this spell, but unfortunately he hadn't had time to master it yet.

As for using telepathic Originium skills... it's not impossible, but she must control it very well.

After much deliberation, Noah decided to take a risk.

So that night, Noah first used a shadow spell to conceal his own and Kuro's figures, and then he wiped his eyes. As the vision of the Eye of God expanded, Noah quickly locked onto several troublesome guys in the entire camp who needed attention.

First up, of course, was Abara. Draco seemed to be engaging in a conversation with Ahmonie. Noya remembered the scheming Miss Filin as quite a significant figure, arguably the most troublesome person in the entire camp besides Abara. Outside the tent, a restless Filin paced back and forth—was Victoria's Filin density a bit high?

This is Mandela, a cadre in the Shenchi camp.

Compared to Aburana and Achmonei, Mandela is actually easier to deal with. She is relatively reckless and has no ulterior motives. She has a devout admiration for Aburana.

To be honest, although its strength is not bad, it is not up to the task and can only be regarded as a combat unit.

As for the rest... don't make things difficult for a muscle-brained guy.

To be honest, if Abrana hadn't been so difficult to deal with, she wouldn't have been so anxious to leave. She was actually quite curious about what the Deep Pool was. However, Abrana's current behavior really made Noah feel a little dangerous.

After calculating the patrol's route, Noah shared his plan with Kuro. Actually, there was nothing special about it. Noah used his ability to blind the two guards at the door, which was equivalent to a temporary hypnosis. They could then walk out openly. However, this kind of hypnosis could not be done by just glaring, so hypnosis could not be used when facing the patrol. If they wanted to avoid the patrol, they had to rely on shadow spells - try to avoid all the warlocks in the camp, and then leave according to the route they had seen before.

The plan was simple, but it would cause considerable damage to Noah - so Noah decided to give up his wheelchair for the time being and let Kuro carry him.

Kuro didn't refuse and just naturally picked up Princess Noya. Speaking of which, if it was a long time ago, Noya would still be shy. But now, she has gotten used to it. You know, in the beginning, Kuro carried her like a sack. If she treated him as a big one, she would be so shaken that she would vomit.

After much persuasion, she finally changed to carrying her on her back. However, there were also problems with carrying her. On the one hand, although Noah had good arm strength, her legs could not clamp her waist, so it was not very stable.

The final solution was to carry him like a princess. Although it took up Kuro's hands, it was the safest and most stable way.

After giving up the wheelchair and merging with Kuro, Noya decided to proceed according to the previous plan. She bowed and gestured, indicating that Kuro should leave as naturally as possible.

The hypnosis had just been completed. The two guards who saw the two people leave the room did not notice anything wrong. This kind of hypnosis can last for about five or six hours, which is enough time for them to escape.

The shadow spell had already wrapped around the two of them. Now, unless you looked closely, they would be nothing more than an unnatural black shadow. Kuro used his legs to move quickly and silently through the camp. Of course, there was a chance that the patrol team would find them, but either they did not bring a warlock with them, or Noah had warned them in advance and they avoided them.

Everything seemed to be going frighteningly smoothly until Noah suddenly patted Kuro's shoulder, signaling her to stop in the dark.

"...Mandela, why did she suddenly run to the camp gate..." Noah was a little worried. Regardless of whether Mandela was a muscle brain or not, she was also an excellent sorcerer and it was easy to discover her disguise.

He was just one step away from escaping, so why did Mandela suddenly appear at the door at this time?

"We still have time—if it doesn't work out," Kuro blinked. "I'll try to kill her with one blow?"

"There is always a protective sorcerer around her. It is unlikely that you can kill her silently with one blow." Noah shook his head. Although he did not distrust Kuro, as an excellent sorcerer, Mandela's ability is rare in both offense and defense. Noah's divine eye can observe the invisible barrier around her and can maintain this barrier normally. This is not something that ordinary sorcerers can do.

This barrier allowed Mandela to at least ensure that she would not be defeated immediately. Even if Kuro wanted to kill her, it would take at least two moves - and the noise of these two moves was enough to attract Abbrana.

As for dealing with Draco... Noa was actually not sure. Draco's fire had a strong restraint on her Originium skills, unless Noa was determined to use the spiritual seed on Abrana as well and forcibly restrict her behavior.

But it is still too difficult for me to control her body without erasing her consciousness... What should I do?

Noah began to worry about Mandela at the door, Abrana in the camp, and Ahmonie who was doing something unknown. He felt that every time he was about to carry out a plan, there would always be some unexpected situations.

--or……

Noah's gaze fell on Mandela. Although she didn't think she could succeed, what if she could hypnotize Mandela?

That's right, compared to Abrana, who has hundreds of eyes and hearts, this muscle-brained creature shouldn't be as resistant to mental spells. It's worth a try...

Noah temporarily closed the Eye of God and focused all his attention on the spell. He took out the music box and concentrated his Originium skills, which extended like invisible tentacles towards Mandela who was sulking at the entrance of the camp.

"Damn it—how on earth does that Ahmonie get to spend every day with the Leader, always excluding me? Am I any worse than her? That damn double agent." Mandela was actually just bored standing by the doorway and had come out to relax. She kicked a stone hard, watching it fly over ten meters before she breathed a sigh of relief. "Sooner or later, the Leader will realize that compared to that double agent, I'm the one truly loyal to her!"

——However, before that, the guy trapped in the cave was actually quite annoying.

Although she was just a prisoner, she was received by the leader every day, and the leader kept praising her, saying that she was very capable, had enough courage, and was a promising person.

A promising talent? He's just a cripple! How can he be considered a promising talent?

Although he didn't want to doubt the leader's judgment, Mandela still felt that the leader valued this cripple too much. If it was a one-on-one fight, he would only need one second to take the cripple's life!

Mandela was indignant. She was clearly ready to sacrifice her life for her leader, but she was never valued. Could it be that she was really worse than those two scheming women?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The leader is just honing my character! Those scheming women are just the whetstones used to sharpen my personality!

The leader must value me more!

Leader… Leader… Leader… Leader… Leader…

"...How much she likes Aburana..." Noah was speechless. After quietly invading Mandela's consciousness, all she saw was information about Aburana. It was almost becoming an Aburana theme park.

She also found it hard to imagine why Mandela was so devoted to someone like Aburana. She could only say that everyone has their own loves. Noah felt that Margaret was not much better than Aburana. She was noble, brave, kind, and beautiful.

Well... Abrana is not bad in this respect, but I just feel that there is something not quite right about Abrana, so I have my own prejudice.

Noah was not idle either. She was not proficient in hypnosis yet, so she could only operate slowly and try her best not to affect the situation after hypnosis.

What exactly is hypnosis? It's a special, artificially induced trance-like state of consciousness that's similar to sleep but not quite. Noa uses his Originium skills to force people into a hypnotic state. This spell is less effective on those with a clearer sense of self, but fortunately, Mandela isn't the type with a strong sense of self, so Noa's hypnosis is quite effective.

Soon, Mandela's eyelids began to twitch. She found a place to sit down, thinking she was just a little sleepy. Little did she know that she had entered Noah's hypnotic state.

Then Noah quietly changed Mandela's definition of himself and Noah to "Partners in the Deep Pool", temporarily engraving this impression into Mandela's subconscious.

The work was rather rough, and time was limited after all. Noah then patted Kuro's shoulder and said, "I'll remove the shadow spell in a moment. Just leave as naturally as possible."

"I see."

Kuro, knowing that Noah had already made some arrangements, nodded and said, "If there is anything we need to negotiate, then you can come."

"it is good."

So, at the door, Noah and Kuro lifted the shadow spell and walked out of the camp as naturally as possible.

Of course, Mandela heard the noise. She raised her head and looked at Kuro who was holding Noya. Suddenly, her eyes were confused. Then she subconsciously said, "You two, what are you doing out so late?!"

"I feel like the camp is too stuffy. I'm going out for some fresh air." Noya said in a natural tone. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Ms. Mandela, you've worked hard, and the leader often says you're a loyal subject."

"...Humph, what else do you want to say?" Although it felt a bit strange, Mandela still felt very useful. "Don't go too far, this is not a safe place. If you are caught by Victoria's people, it will not be a good thing - then I might have to kill you myself."

"I know, I won't go too far, Ms. Mandela, I wish you a good sleep tonight." Noah nodded, and he and Kuro really walked out in such a swagger.

——Surprisingly, hypnosis is quite effective?

written request for leave

My fingers are swollen and painful, I need a rest!

I feel like there are fewer posts and comments lately, but the subscriptions haven’t dropped - what’s going on?

Is there something wrong with the writing?

I'm scratching my head, feeling like people aren't very enthusiastic about posting comments.

Or is it too serious?

Forget it, just write what you think is right - if there are any questions, remember to raise them.

The main one is to listen to advice.

Chapter 31: Kuro thinks Noah might be a bit extreme

"...Really, going out at this time will only cause trouble for me." Mandela shook her head and watched Noah and Kuro walk out in the princess hug posture. She didn't feel anything wrong at all. She even thought that Noah and Kuro were too close, and the leader would definitely be unhappy. Although she didn't know what the leader was thinking, everyone could see that she was very interested in Noah.

——Hmph, it doesn’t matter. I will satisfy the leader later.

She thought to herself that a beautiful and powerful person like the leader was simply the white moonlight in her mind.

As for Noah, she didn't think Noah deserved the leader's attention. He was just a cripple.

But the guy just now said that the leader was secretly praising him behind his back. Really, wouldn’t it be better if he praised him in front of him? The leader is quite shy.

Sitting on a boulder, Mandela swung her feet, feeling the chill of the night air. She thought it was time to go and warn the two guys to return to camp. But after she jumped off the boulder, she felt something was wrong. She recalled the scene just now, and suddenly a chill ran down her spine, and in an instant, Mandela's hair stood on end.

"That guy! That guy actually escaped while I wasn't paying attention!"

Mandela couldn't understand her previous behavior, so she could only attribute it to the fact that she was thinking about other things and ignored the fact that the two had left.

"No, if the leader knew..." Noah had actually escaped right under her nose. If the leader knew, she would probably be exiled to some remote corner. This was something Mandela absolutely could not accept. Mandela immediately panicked, cold sweat instantly soaking her back.

No, I had to make amends—but that guy had probably already run several miles. Mandra looked in the direction Noah had fled, gritted her teeth, and soared into the air, enveloped in sand and rocks. Noah was right, she was a very skilled sorcerer, and a spell like this, which involved taking off through physical means, was considered highly difficult even among experts. But in a hurry, she didn't care about consumption and immediately gave chase.

"She's about to react." Noah realized that his spell had been dispelled and gave a wry smile. "Kuro, how far is the nearest town?"

"You ask me?" Kuro blinked. "Do you remember why we went to Hill County?"

"Ahaha..." Noya then remembered that day when Kuro got lost with the map. "But it shouldn't be far. We're probably about three or four kilometers away... Kuro, can you keep speeding up?"

"I can, but can you hold on?" Kuro asked. "My full speed will probably make you uncomfortable..."

"Right now, escaping is more important than my body." Noah was also prepared. He stretched out his hand and hugged Kuro's neck. "Don't worry about me. I will hold you tightly and will never let go even if I die."

"Yeah - okay." Kuro finally stopped limiting his speed. Immediately, Kuro turned into a golden flash under the moonlight. In her opinion, he was almost flying without touching the ground. After Kuro increased his speed, Noah subconsciously hugged Kuro tightly. Although she had said it very firmly before, she was still a little worried. After all, it was the first time for her to let Kuro go at full speed while holding her.

She also underestimated Kuro's speed. Judging from the wind pressure she felt, it was really like a man running in front and his soul chasing behind.

Normal supercars can't run at this speed... Noya complained in her heart. Although she had complained many times before, was Kuro really a humanoid Gundam...

And when Kurodu used his full speed, Mandela really couldn't even catch the exhaust, but she also knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to pass the leader's level with such a big mistake. In this case, instead of going back in disgrace and being laughed at by that damn Ahmoni, it would be better to catch Noah and make amends for her crime!

"Damn it! When I find that cripple, I'm going to pull her tongue out!" Mandela was already furious. She wasn't going to sleep anymore. "You're fast, but I don't believe you won't rest! I'll catch you back even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep!"

You never know how much willpower a vicious and vengeful warlock can unleash for revenge. Mandra really hunted Kuro and Noah for a whole day and night.

Thanks to her Originium skills, she was quite adept at tracking. The sand and stones would tell her the two men's escape routes, so even though they were initially separated by a huge gap, she was constantly trying to close it. She even pursued them relentlessly, leaving the frantic Noah and Kuro speechless.

After running for a whole night, they thought they had escaped. However, when they found a place to rest by the river, Noah used the Eye of God to look around for safety. When she found Mandela rushing towards this direction at an extremely fast speed like a human sandstorm, she knew that it was true - Mandela's brain might not be working well, but people with such poor brains are often the most stubborn.

In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of Mandela, but Noah does not want to be dragged down, so as not to be caught up by Abrana - she really does not want to face Draco like Abrana.

She was still very impressed by Abbrana's flames, or rather, Draco's flames were somewhat supermodel-like.

It's troublesome to get entangled...

Noah had no choice but to ask Kuro to continue running, so the two of them and Mandela kept running and chasing each other for a whole day and night.

Compared to Noah, who could at least observe Mandela's position through the Eye of God, Mandela was in big trouble. As mentioned before, it was not easy to maintain Mandela's spell. In addition, she had to concentrate on sensing the information brought to her by the sand. After a day and night of pursuit, she began to feel tired. Although she was not an infected person, the cost of maintaining the spell for a long time was not something that only the infected could bear.

Just when she felt she was about to catch up, she saw a fist suddenly coming towards her face, and she was so exhausted that she had no time to dodge.

So, Mandela crashed, and Noah finally breathed a sigh of relief after hiding behind the rock.

They were waiting for just such an opportunity. Although both were exhausted, compared to Kuro's purely physical abilities, Mandra, who used Originium techniques, was clearly more susceptible to fatigue. So, after Noya estimated that the time was almost right, she had Kuro put her down, and then she lay in wait, waiting for the opportunity. Then, with a single punch, she sent Mandra crashing down. The blow was not light, and Mandra immediately lost her breath.

If it was before, the sand and stone barrier could block some of the impact force, so it would not be an instant kill.

But now—it's already amazing that Mandela can maintain the spell.

Finally, it was solved——

"Her ability is very troublesome. She can always track us—" Kuro reminded, "Should we just get rid of her? Or tie her up or something?"

"Indeed..." Noya knew that, given Mandela's temperament, he would definitely continue to pursue them after waking up. This was troublesome...so should he just kill him? Noya truly had the urge to kill him. After all, Mandela was definitely guilty of a lot of blood debt, so killing him wouldn't be a problem in this situation.

Noah is not someone who will be soft-hearted towards her enemies, but at this moment another voice suddenly appeared in her heart -

"Why don't you just use her as a test subject for your abilities? Instead of worrying about overdoing it later, why not try it on this damned thing first?"

"..."
