"Who's there?" said Ritsu Mayne, who didn't reach for his sword, but asked calmly, "Guard?" He was wearing armor and hadn't slept all night. He feared that his plan would fail, and he turned it over and over.

"It's me, Ril Mayne," Luna knocked on the door a few more times, "your guard sleeps better than you do, he's in magical dreams." ”

Ritsura opens the door to see the guards sleeping soundly over the railing, and Luna dressed in black armor. "You? You're on time. Ritsu hurriedly pulled Luna into the house.

Actually, Ril's room is very small. He deliberately chose such a ghost place, a house without an attic. For Ritsu, he just wanted to be quiet. If he listened to the creaking of the attic, he would have to endure more pain. As for Luna, she doesn't like to be in such a depressing place, and when she meets Ritsu alone, Luna can't help but think of Starr and Bryson walking under the moon. Then, she breathed in for the sweetness of Starr and Bryson - if there is still true love in the world, then it will be interesting.

Luna took off her iron mask, revealing her true form, "Are you sure this plan works? You don't seem to have slept all the time, and I'm as worried as you are." ”

"Where's Knight? You'd better not tell him everything. He is too self-righteous and will drag us into the abyss. Ritsu poured two cups of coffee and sat down facing the door.

Luna acts at ease to show that everything is in her sight and that no one can deceive her. "So I didn't take my men down, but found this place with him alone," she yawned as she put her arm on the back of her chair with her arm around her legs, "and we offered to come here to Kyle as promised, and offered to let Kaida spy on us. ”

"There are very few people Kyle can trust, and you're doing a great job. This is the beginning of an agreement between us," Ritsu laughed, "I hope Kaida will never know that he was recommended by you." ”

"Your apprentice is already near Sky City, if he can get the Shennuo Magic Stone in the city, then he can find Miracle City. There is hope for the power of the dragon god. Luna told Ril.

"We must not let anyone know about our deal," Ritsu said, "and as for the fact that the Shennuo Magic Stone you are talking about is too old, not only do I not know, but also the Holy Mage Xavier must not know. ”

Ritsu had read a lot of books, but he had never seen a description of the Magic Stone, and in magic seminars, he often consulted Xavier, and most of those books came from Xavier. Also, Xavier talked to him about everything, but not about the magic stone.

"Do you know the Stones of the Afterlife? The Stones of the Dead come from the Stones of the Gods, and they are fragments that have been split from the Stones. And the effect is the same, but the rebirth stone has limitations. Luna said, "When Bryson attacked Sky City, the stone was forgotten in the vault there. And the curse of the Supreme King of Order remains in the city. ”

"So that's why you've asked me not to send my men to attack the Knights of Merit. They need a team to explore the city in the sky. Ritsu said after thinking about it.

"Are you really ruthless about using the Revival Legion and the Shennuo race as bait?" Luna asked. In fact, she knew that Ritsu was the one who would make such a decision, as he and Kyle used to be good friends, and they would always become similar over time.

Ril has experienced Kyle's power firsthand. Moreover, the battle in which he became Kyle's subordinate has long been known. Ritsu recalled, "I had no choice, you should be able to imagine Kyle's strength. ”

"So I don't have a choice but to make a deal with you," Luna stared at Ritsu, "but it's not fair that you're going to prevent Bryson from waking up." I know your thoughts very well, you are like a 'child' in front of me. ”

In order to fight back, Ritsu deliberately pointed to the room. Directly opposite the entrance is a round table and chairs, and on the north side of the round table is a wardrobe. The bed, which could only sleep one person, was next to the east wall. The whole room, just a few pieces of furniture has already robbed the space.

"Look, I don't care how small this room is. Ritsu explained. A word of sarcasm, what is it? All negative things can be transformed into the energy of a firm will.

"Well, it's nice that there's not a place in the room where you can work your fists and kicks. Luna added.

"You lived from before the end of the Age of Chaos to the present, and I can't deny your age. You use the word 'child' very well, and it represents hope in our human hearts," Ritsu stood up and stroked the sword hanging from the east side of the wardrobe, "I will prevent you from awakening Bryson, but our agreement will remain until the day when our common purpose is achieved." ”

"Neither Kyle nor Bryson are going to be too nice to humans. You love adventure, and that's why I make deals with you, I like confident and brave people, like Bryson's kid. Luna said.

Just when Ritsu was speechless, there was another knock on the door.

"Shhh Ritsu pulls Luna up and puts the chair she was sitting in back under the round table.

"Cup, I've got to hold it. Luna slipped into the closet and whispered. She took the cup from Ritsu and closed the door.

"Open the door. Kaida shouted.

Listening to the voice, Kaida's temper is not very good. In order not to complicate things, the Ritsu opened the door: "What's the matter?"

"I'll have to ask you. You didn't sleep either? And you're still wearing armor in the middle of the night?" said Cadea.

"The candle is almost over, and I'll sleep. Ritsu said.

"Have you ever seen Luna, who burned the paper stack I used for surveillance? You'd better not meet her alone, Mistress Jura told me. Al Qaida said. He told Ritsu very directly, as a return gift for Ritsu's advice, that feelings would affect his judgment and become weak. Although he thought so in his heart, he kept thinking about Eunice.

"You're still watching while you're sleeping?" asked Ritsu in surprise.

Kaida took advantage of the gap and glanced into the room: "Of course, I can't relax for a moment, but I'm doing something for my brother." Just now, I found the ashes of a paper crane in the woods, and another paper crane brought me here. Then he pointed to the paper crane swirling overhead.

The paper crane that had led Kaida here was engulfed in golden light at the moment when it was about to fly into the house. "I don't have what you're looking for here. How could the witch come to me in the middle of the night? Even if it's true, you won't believe it. Ritsu shrugged.

Kaida smelled the smell of wine wafting from the house: "I apologize for what happened just now. I think I should go in and have a drink, because you've hidden good wine. Ritsu reached out to block the door, but Kaida stepped first.

Ritsu glanced at the guard who was turning over, and added in order to suppress his weak heart: "The guard at the door is probably tired and sleeps deeply. We'd better not bother him. "V3 Academy

"It's a common thing, and you're probably not used to it. In Ice Crystal City, it is also common for the Dark Knight to fall asleep because of the continuous night guards. Kaida shrugged, disdainful of explanation. He picked up Ritsu's glass and looked at it, licked his teeth with his tongue, and stared at Ritsu.

Ritsu was already sleepy, but now she was shocked by Kaida. He simply rubbed his face with his hand, and then cleared his throat: "I almost forgot, I should have poured you a glass." I'm going to get the cup. ”

Kaida noticed that the tablecloth of the round table had a few circular wrinkles caused by the glasses, as well as a few scattered wine stains, all of which were almost in a straight line. As for the vicinity of the table, there are still mud marks left when walking. Obviously, the mud mark is not the same size as the footprint of Ritsu. But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he had forgotten what he had seen. Then, remembering the contents of the evening meeting, the dissipated anger rekindled.

Kaida stood up and nearly tripped over her chair: "As I said, I haven't slept either. After the meeting, I was outraged by what you said, and you should apologize for that. ”

"Apologize? You're blocking our plans. We should give everything for the Demon Dragon Empire. A woman alone shouldn't make you lose sleep. Ritsu said solemnly.

"Listen carefully to me!" Kaida stepped forward and grabbed Ritsu's shoulder armor, "If you dare to hurt Eunice in the slightest, I will definitely kill you!

"So, what you're really here for in the middle of the night is this?" Ritsu forced a frown. In fact, he was happy and relieved by this.

"Of course not, I'm looking for Luna Black, the madwoman who turned the people of the Emerald City into bone dolls in the Age of the Gods! she must be doing something nasty, you better be careful! she's a real demon!" Cada turned and sat down.

After relaxing for a moment, Ritsu's heart hung again. "I'm cautious, you don't have to remind me. As for Eunice, she was an integral part of the plan. In order to keep Kaida focused on the wine, Ritsu poured him a glass of wine.

"Damn the plan, you can find someone to replace her!" said Kaida angrily. He felt that Ritsu was simply inflexible.

"There's no substitute for her, and neither can she. We've got to let Oraya's people see her! she's the key to the plan!" Ritsu said, patting the table.

"You can change the plan, there's always something better!" argued.

"What plan? Do you have a better one? And no one can change this plan, you take a closer look at this secret letter. I didn't say it was my idea. Ritsu pulled out a letter from the bookcase.

Kaida looked at the wax print, then opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter in general. "This seal belongs to the King of Order, and the handwriting is the same," Kaida closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "He told you the plan!"

"I'm sorry, you have to be prepared, and I can only do that. Ritsu sighed and said.

Faced with the letter, Kaida was so angry that he smashed the quilt to pieces: "This is impossible!" Realizing that his heart was so angry that he simply snatched Ritsu's cup and smashed it together.

"Now, you see, I was supposed to comfort you after the evening meeting, but you got angry, and I can only warn you. I also apologize to you for that. Ritsu stood up and bowed gentlemanly.

"I've got to help Eunice, I can't just watch her become bait. If it is according to the plan, it will indeed be able to completely block the Meritorious Knights and the Snow King Knights, but Eunice will not be able to resist their main force. Not to mention the black dragon's indiscriminate flame attack, she will fight for her life to save her subordinates. Kaida said anxiously.

For Al Qaeda's reaction, if you don't take advantage of the situation, it will be wrong. "What can I do for you?" You have helped my apprentice more than once, and I will pay it off. ”

"I forgot if you didn't mention it. Although it is my idea to keep your apprentice alive, you must pay it back. I've been punished by Kyle several times for doing this. Al Kaida brace himself. He was like holding a straw. And Ritsu was very satisfied, and his heart was happy.

"I'll prepare a black dragon for you, it's the only way you can help Eunice. You can help her buy her some more time. Ritsu took another cup and filled it with wine and handed it to Kaida.

"Buying time, I want to get her out!" said Kaida, frowning.

"We only have five Black Dragon Mounts, and the other four need to attack the legions besieging Idol City. You can go ahead of them," Ritsu admonished Cadea, "and if you can't get her out, then wait with her for the victory of our siege." ”

"When exactly will you plan?" asked Kaida.

"I'll let you know. It's time for me to rest now, and I have military business to attend to tomorrow. "Ritsu is going to clink glasses with Kaida.

Al Kaida raised his glass and drank alone. "Clink glasses, next time, when everything is all right. Kaida turned and pulled the door open.

At this point, Luna comes out of the closet and pours herself a glass of wine. She looked at the glass all over the floor and sighed. Then, she couldn't help but laugh: "Just as we planned, he came." We had a great time working together. ”

"Acting isn't something I'm good at, it's a specialty of the powerful," Ritsu said, glancing at the wine spilled on the table, "Kaida, I just noticed the wine stains and the bottom marks on the tablecloth." Fortunately, Al Kaida himself forgot. ”

"He should have found my footprints as well. The moment Luna looked down, she saw the mud marks on the ground.

"Luckily, the view inside the house was dim. Otherwise, he would have recognized the woman's footprints if he looked closely. Ritsu exhaled.

Luna stared at Ritsu and handed Ritsu a magic potion, "That's my potion that worked. Although this thing often fails, and is a gizmo that is looked down upon. ”

"When this thing evaporates, it makes people forget something they saw for a short time. You even have me...... No wonder...... Before I opened the door, I realized I had forgotten what I was going to organize. Ritsuya stared at Luna.

"Look, how lucky. So our plan is destined to succeed, and you'll become Kyle's closest confidant to the Order King because of this victory. Luna squinted and dozed off on the edge of the table, then propped her face up with the back of her hand, "Now that you look closely, you really don't look like a 'child'." ”

"And you're just like Cadea said, you're a crazy woman to not take lightly. Ritsu didn't laugh, just affirmed. After putting the cup down, he looked at the south wall. He is not as confident as Luna, as the person he will be dealing with is not an inexperienced person.
