"Buzz ......"

With a long hum, the layer of blue light shrouded in a huge magic array quickly dissipated, revealing a large number of figures. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Akatsuki, are you alright?"

Looking at the small figure in front of everyone, Kalian, who was worried, stepped forward quickly and hugged him directly into his arms: "Even if the mission fails, it doesn't matter!" If you come back safely, one is enough! ”

"No, the mission is done."

Akatsuki, who maintained the small appearance she had when she first appeared in front of Aisha and the others, struggled for a moment before explaining, "It's just that if you want to maintain that form in the main plane, the energy consumption will be very large, so that's why I changed this appearance." ”

Even if Akatsuki didn't say it, Karen could understand that it was because of the demonic contract between her and Akatsuki that Akatsuki's abilities would be so limited.

"I'm sorry, Akatsuki, it's all because my strength is too weak."

Karen said apologetically.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

Carrying a brand-new long-handled battle axe, Waldman walked straight over and said with a big grin: "If you are still very weak, then I, who will barely possess this strength until I am about to be thirty years old, is not the big weak chicken among the weak chickens?" ”

"Even with the resources provided by the Stanfield family, you who can reach the seventh order before the age of twenty are definitely a genius in the entire continent!"

Bird, who also came out, also responded: "You must know that Young Master Koster, who is already twenty-five years old this year, has just reached the strength of the seventh order!" ”

"That's it!"

Lot, who came over, also smiled and said, "Don't be too arrogant! Karen girl! None of us fools at your age could have reached the high level! ”

Winder, who walked up to Lott, seemed to want to say something, but after he had his mouth open for a long time, he just nodded to Kalian, which made everyone else cry and laugh.

"Alright, alright!"

At the critical moment, Aisha, who had been working hard with Karene to maintain the teleportation magic array, came out to play a round: "You guys just came back, you should all be tired!" Let's go get some rest! We're going to have to fight Karen's Seventh Sister tomorrow! ”

"Don't worry! With these new weapons, we'll be able to defeat Miss Katarina's warriors! ”

Waldman said confidently, holding the tomahawk.

"You can't think like that!"

Karen, who originally looked a little flustered under everyone's onlookers, suddenly straightened up when she heard Waldeman say this: "Those good players under Sister Katerina's command are not only not weaker than us, but they also have a good equipment tailored for them!" Although the weapons and equipment you brought back are not bad, it is really not easy to say whether they can compare to their equipment! ”

"Is that so?"

Waldman scratched his head in surprise: "I've never heard of this before!" ”

“…… In that case, we need to act quickly. ”

A frowning Lott proposed, "Except for the time to eat and sleep, the rest of the time will have to be spent enchanting these new weapons and equipment!" Time is of the essence, and we need to give these guys the right amount of magic as much as possible! ”

As he said this, Lott looked at the brand-new long sword in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

No battle-hardened warrior would not cherish the weapons they relied on to fight, and some warriors directly regarded their weapons as higher than their own lives.

The sword is in the person, and the sword is dead!

“…… Okay, everybody come with me. ”

Looking at the look of determination in Lot's eyes, Karen sighed helplessly, and then walked forward with Akatsuki in her arms.

By the way, even when she was watched by Waldman and others, Karen never let go of Akatsuki in her arms, which made Akatsuki feel helpless.

Just as Karen was leaving with Waldman and the others, Katie, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly ran over in small steps and rushed straight in front of Dio.

"It's too much! You didn't even bring meow to play! Meow is angry! The consequences are severe! ”

Angry, Katie pointed directly at Dio's nose and said, "Ten grilled fish!" Only more, not less! Or I won't forgive you! ”

I have to say, she is really easy to appease......

"Okay, okay! Ten is ten! It doesn't matter if you want it steamed or braised it, I'll make one for you! ”

Dio nodded, and said calmly: "But now...... You've got to keep going and help me protect Karen! Do you hear that? ”

"No problem! As long as there is grilled fish! Meow is easy to say! ”

Katie nodded happily, and then jumped after Kalian.

"Looking at this silly cat, I'm really worried that one day she will be tricked out of her with grilled fish."

Looking at Katie's back, Dio said helplessly: "And it's the kind that sells her, and she will help the other party count the money." ”

"Don't say that!"

Aisha smiled and shook her head, "Katie is very smart!" She's not as gullible as you think! Last time, a profiteer wanted to fool her into buying a few fish, but she slapped her down! ”

As far as Aisha knows, so far, only Dio and Eve have been able to eat Katie steadily, and even Shiva, who seems to be cold, has a little bit of a problem with Katie.

"Don't mention that."

Dior, who raised his eyebrows, directly changed the subject: "In the past few days since I was away, have there been any special circumstances?" ”

“…… For the past few days, there have been some sneaky people watching around the neighborhood every day. ”

Teresa, who floated over, replied with a smile, "However, I sent those people away. Other than that, nothing happened. ”

"What about the other three heirs? Didn't anything happen to them? ”

Dio asked again.

This time, it was Aisha who answered Dio's question: "No, it has been very calm in the past few days, and there have been no surprises at all. ”

"Is there calm before the storm?"

Dior held his chin and said with a solemn face: "According to the character of Karen's fourth brother, no matter how you think about it, you shouldn't have done any small actions in the past few days. ”

"I think it's probably because the elders are staring at him."

Aisha explained, "It is said that because of his performance in the first round of trials, some of the elders, led by Elder Howard, have stepped up their surveillance of him. ”

"No, even if that were the case, he should have a way to bypass the elders' surveillance."

Dio shook his head and said with certainty: "It is impossible for him, who will kill his allies in the trial, not to think about the consequences of doing so." ”

"However, even the elders didn't find anything abnormal, and the intelligence was not as good as those elders, so how could we find out anything."

Aisha said with a wry smile.

"That's what you said."

Dio sighed and said, "Don't mention him, let's talk about something else." ”

In fact, when he stayed with Howard and the others in the first round of trials, Dio, who looked down at Carlos, always vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he never found out why.

However, Dio believes that there must be something wrong with that ruthless Carlos!

Dio wants to change the subject, and Aisha takes the opportunity to ask Bart, "Now, Bart! Did you gain anything from this operation? ”

"It's a big gain, Miss Aisha."

Bart replied respectfully, "Unfortunately, despite the addition of a lot of equipment, I still haven't been able to reach the legendary level because I'm not a combat-type electronic elf. ”

Completely different from those combat electronic elves who can give allies all kinds of special effects and even hands-on, Bart is actually an electronic elf who specializes in assistance, and she is actually good at the ability to recognize, organize, classify, analyze, etc., and her behavior pattern is more inclined to a profession such as an assistant or secretary.

It is precisely because of this that even with such a body built with a legendary-level energy core and a large amount of combat equipment, Bart still has not been able to improve her strength to the legendary-level level, which makes her feel quite guilty.

Dio, though, doesn't really mind these things.

"If you want to talk about combat effectiveness, you who can burst out in a short period of time are no less than ordinary legendary-level professionals, which is actually enough."

Dio said very calmly: "Even if you raise your strength to the legendary level, most of the enemies you will face will still be around the ninth order. If I really encounter a legendary enemy, I will take action myself! ”

"So in contrast, I still hope you can make progress in other areas."

"With all the equipment you've gathered, I'll be able to help in a lot of ways."

Hearing Dio say this, Bart replied happily, "For example, that energy refining furnace!" With this in hand, we can re-establish a small energy refinery underneath the manor. Coupled with the original elemental pool, Kraft and I won't have to worry about energy supply in the future! ”

In fact, Bart and Kraft, like the Akatsuki in the past, lack the means to replenish energy. Although there is an energy harvesting system originally located in the ruins of the machine world, so that Kraft in the manor no longer needs to worry about running out of energy, Bart, who often runs around with Dio, has to save on using those reserve energy.

And with the Energy Refinery, not only Bart and Kraft can go all out, but even those mechanics who had to go into standby due to lack of energy can finally come out and move.

"On top of that, with these devices, I can make a few mechanical eye making machines! With the help of the mechanical eye, our manor will be even more impregnable. ”

Bart began to gush on and on.

After listening to the explanation for a while, Aisha, who began to feel a little dizzy, quietly approached Eve's side after glancing at Dio, who was listening very carefully: "Eve, your face looks bad, what's wrong?" ”

“…… It's just a bit of a big consumption, Miss Aisha. ”

Eve, dressed in a black tight-fitting leather suit, saluted Aisha, and then replied with a smile on her face, "I just need to rest for a while." ”

"Don't listen to her."

At this moment, Dio decisively interjected: "Eve's consumption is quite serious, and it can't be recovered in a short time!" So, it's better not to let her play in tomorrow's fight! ”

"I can ......"

Eve, who still wanted to be strong, could only bow her head obediently under Dior's glare.

"No problem."

Aisha nodded and said, "In the first half of the ring match, only five people, including Senior Sister Kalian, need to play. If you're lucky, you might not even have to make a move! ”

"But ......"

Turning her head to look at Eve's Aisha, she immediately said, "Just in case, let's take Eve to rest first!" ”

So, under the leadership of Aisha, Dio and the others also left the room.

After everyone left, the teleportation magic array, which had already dimmed, suddenly lit up. Strangely, it wasn't the original blue light, but a purple glow with a bit of blood.

After a good night's rest, early the next morning, Karen led Waldman and the others to the second and final trial, next to a huge ring deep in the courtyard.

Unlike the previous trials, in this final trial, the Stanfield family did not invite other families to watch, so all the people who appeared around the ring were members of the Stanfield family.

Under everyone's gaze, Karene and Katerina, who will be the first to start the showdown, slowly come together.

"Sister Katarina, please be merciful."

While shaking hands, Kalian said very sincerely.

However, Caterina replied coldly, "No, I will not show mercy!" ”

"On this battlefield, there are no sisters, only enemies! So, in order to win the final crown, I will fight for this life with my subordinates! ”

After squeezing Kalian's hand hard, Caterina shook off Karen's hand and walked straight back to her position.

"Drake! It's your turn! ”

A knight in red armor slowly stood up, saluted Caterina again, and then slowly walked into the ring.

The somewhat lost Karen, after returning to her place, was silent for a moment before she said to Bart with a solemn face, "Bart! If you can, please be merciful! Sister Caterina can not think of me as a sister, but I can't see her as an enemy......"

Bart nodded slightly, and then stepped into the ring.
