Chapter 20: The Qualifications of the King
Li Bai had already walked out of the underground parking lot, followed by Nate and Joker.
"That abominable scum...... I haven't taught him a good lesson! Nate stayed on the sidelines, a little resentful, still regretting that she didn't get a chance to beat the nightmare.
"Unexpectedly, they just left."
Lihid and Nightmare had already left, and Li Bai asked Nit to look around, and found that the mercenaries had disappeared as well.
"Lihid is telling the truth, but what purpose are they doing this?" Li Bai couldn't think through.
If they miss this opportunity, they may not be able to kill her again, not to mention what happens after the rendezvous with the seahorses, it is impossible for them to slip up the dueling boat alone, knowing that the dueling boat is all loyal to the elite of the group, and everyone is recorded in the file, except for the people who have investigated clearly and the duelists who have won the top eight seats, they can't let anyone else go up.
"The mercenary leader mentioned by the tattooed man earlier, do you think anyone resembles this character?" The soul of the Celestial Flame appeared on the side.
"It doesn't seem to be ......," Li Bai muttered, "Do you suspect that he is someone I know?" β
"Well, and it should be someone who knows how to fight with cards." Tianguangyan is very sure of this, "We really don't know the purpose of that person, but it is necessary to be able to make such a choice, that is, he is very confident in his own strength, and believes that relying on his own strength is enough to control the situation, and even ......."
"Kill me?"
Li Bai also understood at this moment that this was indeed a necessary premise, and without this kind of self-confidence, the other party would have no reason to give up this opportunity.
"But according to you, wouldn't that guy have a place in the quarterfinals?" The girl held her chin and put on a pensive look, she only then noticed the problem of the top eight seats, there was no place for her own among the original eight, and she didn't know who to squeeze out this time.
Joker looked at the girl's appearance and wanted to laugh.
From her point of view, Li Bai has been stunned since she came out, with all kinds of strange expressions and movements, and she doesn't know what she is thinking...... However, considering her embarrassing identity, she still held back.
"Your Highness......" Nate leaned over to Li Bai's side, reached out and poked her arm lightly, "Are you in a daze?" β
"Huh? Not...... No, in a daze or something...... Cough! Li Bai coughed heavily, "Is there a problem, Nit?" β
It seems that when communicating with Flame in the future, you will have to manipulate your body and expression at the same time to make them normal.
"It's not my problem, it's Your Highness's problem!" Nate looked Li Bai up and down with some suspicion, afraid that she was "evil" again.
It wasn't until Li Bai was a little hairy that she stopped, she showed her hand from her wide sleeve, and Li Bai found that she was holding a stack of transparent cards in her hand.
"These are the things left behind after they left, His Highness has 5 cards in his hand, plus these should be enough to advance to the next round!"
These puzzle cards are the trophies that belong to them, Li Bai took them and counted them, including 3 nightmares, 4 Lihid, a total of 7 cards, she herself has 5, it is indeed enough to meet the amount of 10 puzzle cards.
"Nit, how many puzzle cards do you have on you now?" Li Bai suddenly asked her.
"Oh? That's it? I only have one ......"
"So little?" The girl's eyes widened, with Nit's strength, it shouldn't be that there is only one card that she held at the beginning, how can you have to have two or three cards to be scientific.
"Because I've been protecting His Highness, I don't have much time to duel with others, so it's naturally impossible to get new puzzle cards." Nitt said it didn't matter, she didn't care about the game at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the dimensional wall couldn't be opened, she couldn't wait to take Li Bai away from the present world now.
"No! These are things that we can only get after working together, and I can't accept them all. Li Bai took out 3 of them and threw them to Nit, "Take it." β
"Huh?" Some of them were scrambling to put together the three puzzle cards, and Nate was a little confused.
"I know you're not interested in the game, but it's impossible for you to give me all the loot right now." The girl raised her head, "Big deal...... It's a big deal to wait until I don't have enough time, and if I haven't got enough puzzle cards together by then, you can give me what you don't want. β
"Whew!" Joker couldn't hold back this time and laughed out loud.
She felt more and more that this Li Bai was actually not a typical elite class as the information said, and sometimes this guy was quite interesting.
Or rather...... It's pretty two.
However, this move also successfully provoked Li Bai's angry gaze.
Li Bai squinted his eyes and walked to Joker's side and looked at her inquiringly.
Lihid and Nightmare didn't look at her as they left, and the people of Gurus really didn't seem to want to ignore her...... This is not good news. Li Bai couldn't have left Joker in the corner like them, and the unusually similar appearance to her alone determined that it was not feasible.
"Joker, do you have any plans for the future?" After thinking about it, Li Bai still decided to let her decide for herself.
"Intended?" Joker was stunned for a moment, his expression a little down, "I don't have any plans, what if...... If you'll let me go, I'll be back at the nearest branch of the Order. β
"Let's talk as we go...... Time is tight. β
The crisis in the city has not been resolved, they really need to speed up their pace, Li Bai patted her on the shoulder, motioning for her to follow first, "I really don't plan to restrain you anymore, because I don't have the energy to do this...... The battle will become more and more fierce in the future. β
"Then let me go." Joker didn't dare to look at Li Bai, and even lowered his head when he walked, relying on the girl's steps to identify the direction.
"I've done it for you, I should go back......"
"I don't agree with your decision." Li Bai considered the organizational language, trying to persuade her to give up this idea.
She could imagine how Joker had been transformed into this, and judging by Lihid and Nightmares' attitudes, life wouldn't be much better when she returned.
"Don't ask for her opinion, Your Highness! You can do whatever you want with her. Nate was a little unhappy with Li Bai's attitude, "Don't forget that she also participated in the attack before." β
She comes from a royal society, so she naturally feels that many of the rules and regulations in the current world are very awkward, in her opinion, since Joker is a captive, she should be treated according to the standards of prisoners, not to mention that she was an accomplice of Li Bai's broken arm before, so it is not too much to kill directly.
"You can do whatever you want? Which cannibal tribe did you run out of? Joker glared back at Nit without flinching, counting that she had taken the latter two elbow blows...... I don't want to see her for a long time.
"I didn't know about the attack in the first place, don't blame me indiscriminately!"
"Who do you say is the cannibal tribe......" Nate stood up, trembling with anger, if Li Bai hadn't stopped her, she would probably have rushed up.
"Alas...... I hate doing this kind of communication work. Li Bai stretched out his hand to cover his head.
This kind of justification is simply anti-human.
"You understand how I felt now?" Skylight Flame floated to the side with his hands around his chest.
In the past, Li Bai and the lion male witch had to quarrel at three ends in three days, and she had to mediate hard, it felt like she was taking care of a child, and it was a child with low intelligence.
"Anyway...... Joker, you won't have any good fruit to eat if you return to Gurus now, so I'll find a way to arrange for you when I see my brother. Li Bai held down Nit, "Nate ...... Don't worry too much about that, the civilization here is different from where you came...... Inevitably, there will be some ...... Oh!! What are you biting me for!? β
ββ¦β¦ It is very dangerous for Your Highness to do this. Nate got rid of Li Bai's control and reached out to wipe the corners of her mouth.
She just took a hard bite on Li Bai's neck, leaving a deep tooth mark.
"Danger? What are you talking about? Li Bai reached out and grabbed the fabric on the shoulder of the dress, trying to wipe the saliva left by Nit, "She didn't do anything wrong in her own position, and she repented, we don't need to be so harsh!" β
"If you're going to go back with me with that mentality, then I don't think there's any need for this trip." Nit's address to Li Bai was changed back to honorifics, and it was obvious that she was disappointed.
"You don't understand how chaotic it is right now, you are not ready to accept your responsibilities!" "Merciful," she said...... The shackles of hypocrisy! You can't be a true leader when you go back...... It's just a puppet! A wretched creature who has lost even his freedom! β
"You ......" Li Bai didn't expect Nette to have such courage to dare to say such a thing to her.
She didn't care about herself, and even sometimes Li Bai felt that Nate respected her too much, but for the other party, this body was nominally her allegiance to the lord of the kingdom, according to her love for Mithra...... It's unthinkable.
"My mercy is...... Unnecessary? β
She couldn't help but ask herself this rhetorical question, and recalled a memory.
Haima had a conversation with her about the meeting on Becas Island, and he predicted what kind of attitude Becas would take to deal with the incident, Li Bai didn't dare to believe it at the time, but the development of things was really not much different from what Haima said.
Why was my brother able to figure out Bekas's mind? Is it because they are the same kind of people?
A class of people called "superiors"?
"You haven't experienced what he went through, and you don't really understand what it takes to be in a high position...... Li bai! A lot of things aren't as simple as you might think. β
The words of the lion witch were recalled to her again.
"I have to admit it...... Even though you resemble him in some way, you are not him after all. β
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you doing this." The voice of the Heavenly Light Flame rang out, interrupting the girl's chaotic thoughts.
"It's your characteristic, white, and you can even say it's a merit."
"Tolerant, kind, no matter how angry you seem to be, from the bottom of your heart, you can't bear to deliberately hurt anyone...... You'd rather get hurt yourself than have other people feel sorry for you. Tianguangyan floated in front of Li Bai and stretched out his hands to caress her face, "Originally...... It is precisely because I feel the warmth of your heart that I have been able to wake up, and this is what I envy you the most, and you don't need to change at all. β
"Sudden ...... It's really embarrassing to be praised so much in front of the public......" Li Bai's face was a little red, "but Nit is right...... That alone won't help her, and maybe she'll mess things up. β
"I'll take care of those things." Skylight Flame smiled brightly, "Don't forget, this is my kingdom in the first place, and I have a responsibility to maintain its glory. β
"Huh? Are you asking me to manipulate your body when this happens? Li Bai pouted, although she always felt that something was wrong, but she had to admit that it was a good idea, and Yan's attitude towards this kind of thing was much more sharp than hers...... It's just that there are some quirks that make her look uncomfortable.
"By the way, will this be regarded as a psychopath by outsiders, after all, the way we handle things seems to be very different."
"You don't think those guys will be alive after you deal with me......" Tianguang Flame gradually disappeared from the soul, only the voice still lingered in the girl's ears, "Didn't we do that in the first placeβI will do the things you can't do, you just need to continue to be yourself...... My sweet little knight. β
ββ¦β¦ I can't be happy to be called that. β
Li Bai's face was expressionless, and she was disgusted.
"Your Highness!" Nit suddenly brought her face in front of her, startling her.
"Was it because my words were too heavy! That one...... Actually, I just want His Highness to understand the severity of the situation...... It's not ......" Nate was actually frightened, she saw Li Bai standing there motionless after being rushed by her, thinking that she was hurt by her words, and hurriedly began to apologize.
"No, you're right, I'll try to change." Li Bai twitched the corner of his mouth, Nit's temperament is really a little too serious, and she really can't bear it......
"It's just that because it's an attempt, I might be weird at that time, I hope you don't care."
She gave the other party a precautionary shot in advance, so as not to poke out some curious basket when changing the flame to control the body.
"As for Joker's incident this time, forget it, I can see that she is not bad in nature." The girl glanced at Joker, who sensed her gaze and twisted her face to the side in some anger, but did not refute anything.
"Okay, for the sake of His Highness's face......" When it came to this, Nate had no choice but to say that she would not pursue anything more.
βLi Bai's inner worldβ
A white light.
"What a troublesome stupid girl...... She still didn't understand where she really was. β
The lion wizard looked at the white sky from afar and sighed helplessly.
As an elf, it can actually keep abreast of the outside world at all times, and it has seen everything that happened just now.
"And, I don't know if it's an illusion, her attachment to that person seems to be a little excessive."
"It is necessary, measures are taken."
