The Frostwolf Legion, which had lost its leader, finally lost its combat strength and left in a hurry after seeing Einzfil, who had arrived in support of the red dragon in the castle.

And Zheng Ming, who killed a lot, did not pursue after seeing that the other party had left a corpse to retreat.

Zheng Ming separated a slime clone and asked it to split itself to clean up the battlefield, and then beckoned Britney and Cammy, who had not yet been killed, to return to the castle.

At this time, Zheng Ming, who had just returned to the castle and asked about Arthur's situation, stood outside the door with an unhappy face and waited quietly.

Just as he and the two guards guarding the door, who did not know whether they were alive or dead, stared widely, the door opened. Arthur, whose face was tired and bloodless, staggered out.

Looking at the bright silver armor on Arthur's body, Zheng Ming frowned.

"You got a new armor? Are you sick? Didn't you go in and tie your wounds? What armor to change in the city? ”

Arthur was not angry at Zheng Ming's unceremonious words, he just smiled and patiently explained.

"I'm more used to wearing armor. If you are attacked, you can fight as soon as possible. ”

"Huh? That was before. At that time, because of the rapid healing properties of the golden scabbard, you were not afraid of getting hurt. But you're also going to get the wound infected. ”

Seeing that Zheng Ming's tone became lower and lower the more he spoke, revealing a look of worry and self-blame, Arthur patted him on the shoulder and half-jokingly changed the topic.

"You're underestimating the Dragonborn's rough skin and thick flesh. Without the golden scabbard, this small wound would have healed quickly. How do you cut your long hair short? Looks a lot more mature. I remember the last time I saw you in the palace, I was still looking like a child. ”

"You still say me? I just slept a little, how are you so old. The height has not changed, and it is still so short. ”

In fact, Arthur's appearance is not old, and he is too young compared to people of the same period. It's just that Zheng Ming has the impression that he has always maintained a immature appearance of sixteen or seventeen years old, so it was a little awkward to suddenly see Arthur, who looked in his twenties.

"Ahem."

Behind him, Britney's light cough interrupted Zheng Ming, who still wanted to catch up with the past. He glanced at the two guards and the two players with strange eyes, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Uh...... I'll talk about the old things later. Now can we go into the room and get down to business? My king. After all this time, there should be enough time to hide the unsightly, right? ”

When Zheng Ming said this, he just meant to ridicule the other party for hiding personal belongings like yellow magazines. But what he didn't expect was that Arthur's face changed greatly after hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey, depending on your reaction, it can't be that you also have the bad habit of keeping a mistress, right? I can tell you, if you do something sorry to Gwyna, it's not as simple as getting beaten up. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's exaggerated shout, Arthur punched Zheng Ming's chest and reluctantly let go of the door.

A group of mermaids rushed in, and Zheng Ming glanced at the room with a little suspicion. In line with Arthur's usual simplicity and simplicity. There are no superfluous ornaments, and they look like ascetics compared to other nobles.

Arthur and Zheng Ming sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground as usual. Looking at the two people who stood in place and said that they were going to stand, Arthur showed a look of doubt.

"Who are these two? It doesn't look like it's your bodyguard. ”

"Oh, the strong man I recruited. It's a mercenary with strange skills. ”

Hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but look twice. There are few people who can call Zheng Ming a strong man. Seeing that the two of them were not very strong and did not seem to have any characteristics that distinguished them from ordinary people, Arthur quickly lost interest and turned his head to look at Zheng Ming.

However, when he shifted his gaze, he didn't notice that Britney's eyes flashed with suspicion.

Zheng Ming, who was on the side, saw Arthur's expression, and immediately understood what he wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to explain.

"I came to you, first of all, to see your injuries......"

"No, I don't. I am fine. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Ming was interrupted by Arthur, who shook his head again and again, and Zheng Ming was also accustomed to Arthur's quirks that he didn't like to expose.

I guess it's because of my pretty appearance and fair and delicate skin, and what kind of shadow I have left in the past.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zheng Ming nodded in understanding, and then said on the previous topic: "Secondly, I want you to return to the royal capital." ”

"Why?"

"Don't say no. Now there is an undercurrent of rumors in the kingdom. Wang Du is no exception. Even if it is not for the stability of the kingdom, for the safety of Gwyna, you need to sit in the royal capital and suppress those Xiaoxiao. As for the front-line war, it's good that I'll do it. I formed a new regiment, and now I only bear the name of a civilian mercenary. I want you to officially recognize them as a newly formed legion. And I want you to transfer Lancelot to assist me. With his commanding, communicative, and negotiation skills, I would have a lot easier. ”

"Have you formed a new corps? I was determined to give you military power after the events of your siege. ”

This is Arthur's most satisfying opponent for Zheng Ming, and it is also the existence that Zheng Ming is willing to work for him and serve him as the king. Regarding Zheng Ming's self-initiated behavior of forming a new army, Arthur's priority was not to doubt but to believe. Through this sentence, Zheng Ming's responsibility for having military power was taken on himself.

Arthur was guarding against the aristocratic group and the court mage group in the name of building a private legion, and labeled Zheng Ming as a rebel. Unlike those lords and nobles who can reasonably own private armies. Zheng Ming, who was essentially a commoner without the slightest title or fief, was a felony to form more than a certain number of combatants. Equivalent to rebellion.

Of course, Zheng Ming knew all this very well. So he kept it all in his heart.

"Oh, yes. Arthur, this thing is for you. Eating it may be good for your injury. ”

"What is this?"

"It's just a little thing. You can think of it as a pill. ”

Seeing Arthur take a dragon's eye-sized round pill from Zheng Ming's hand, Britney's breathing suddenly became heavier.

Zheng Ming noticed Britney's abnormality, turned his head with a puzzled face, and just saw Britney's eyes wide, staring at the pill in Arthur's hand in disbelief.

This pill was naturally specially made for Arthur by Zheng Ming using his ability to feed back. For this reason, Zheng Ming also consumed a clone of nearly thirty-nine levels.

Calculated by doubling the energy in each level, this almost consumed the energy that Zheng Ming was dressed up.

If he hadn't noticed that the natural recovery rate of energy since awakening was far more than ten times faster than before, he wouldn't have dared to consume energy like this. Even so, seeing that after a big battle, only a quarter of the energy reserves were left, and it was reduced to the level of thirty-eight, Zheng Ming was a little distressed.

Arthur swallowed the pill very simply in front of everyone, and at the same time agreed to Zheng Ming's proposal, saying that he would leave for the royal capital after recovering from his injuries. And Zheng Ming, who had achieved his goal, saw Arthur who looked tired, and left with a sentence of "rest well" and led the crowd to leave.

On the way back, seeing Britney's uncharacteristically frowning and silent, thinking about the abnormal behavior of the other party in the room, Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Britney? Britney! What happened to you? It was abnormal from the beginning. Any questions? ”

Zheng Ming's call finally woke up the distracted Britney. She glanced at Kami, then at Zheng Ming and asked hesitantly, "Ming." The blue pill just now......"

Zheng Ming saw that Britney hadn't followed for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask again, "What happened to the pill just now?" Any questions? ”

"I didn't ...... No. Where did that pill come from? ”

This question stumped Zheng Ming, he thought for a while and said vaguely: "Uh...... I got it by accident. ”

"Do you still have it? Is there much left? Where did you get it? ”

Under Britney's repeated questions, Zheng Ming was slightly stunned, and then said uncertainly: "There are still some more." Should...... Not much, right? What happened to you? ”

Britney, who was staring at Zheng Ming tightly and getting closer and closer, looked stunned when she saw Zheng Ming retreating again and again. Her face changed slightly, and then she let out a long sigh and a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape."

Usually you often lose your temper, and I don't see you apologize.

Recalling the other party's usual grinning and smuggling of his own evil deeds, Zheng Ming secretly slandered in his heart, but there was an expression of understanding on his face.

"It doesn't matter. Can you tell me why that pill is making you lose your temper? ”

For Zheng Ming, the effect of taking the pill created by the ability to feed back is almost the same as absorbing the clone, so he has never really understood the power and effect of the pill. At this time, seeing the other party's reaction, he was immediately a little worried that the pill had side effects that he didn't know about.

Britney's solemn and serious expression pushed Zheng Ming's worries to the extreme.

"Zheng Ming, haven't you taken the pill yet? The knowledge of that pill was still only at the level of recovering the injuries and energy. ”

Hearing Britney's inquiry, Zheng Ming's heart chuckled. Remembering that almost most of the people he gave the pills were close to him, he was suddenly a little frightened.

"Yes! Is there any other role? ”

"Zheng Ming, you may have underestimated its value."

"Huh?"

Britney's serious tone and words made Zheng Ming's brain shut down for a moment. When he realized that Britney was trying to express a bad situation that he didn't think it was, Britney continued to speak at a cannon-like pace.

"It may only be restorative for those who have already taken it. No, because I've only seen one, and I've never heard of anyone else taking it, so I don't know. It is likely that repeated doses will also have an effect. I succeeded the first time. However, it is not excluded that there will be a failure rate. ”

Seeing Britney talking incomprehensibly, Zheng Ming finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"Britney! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

"That pill can boost the player's ability to awaken. That's what I woke up after eating that. See what I mean? Drugs that can promote wakefulness! This is unheard of! You gave one away. I'm telling you that with just one pill, you can make an unawakened prop player work for you. Not to mention much, just two dungeon worlds let them give up their earnings and give you a hand with all their might, and they definitely raised their hands in agreement. ”

Zheng Ming did not get carried away by the huge benefits and prospects thrown by Britney, but showed a look of doubt.

"Are you sure you're right? Did you take the same pill I just gave Arthur? ”

"That's for sure. The luster, the color, the shape. What I awakened was my ability to perceive, and I couldn't admit it. ”

"That's weird. Except for me, there shouldn't be any more pills like this here. Where did your pills come from? ”

"Remember what I told you about the rise of the big guy in this world?"

"The one called Floating Dreams? Oh, no wonder. ”

It wasn't until this incident that Zheng Ming recalled that time on the battlefield, and it seemed that he had really sent pills to the other party to recover from his injuries out of pity. Obviously, the other party did not take it, and gave it to Britney in front of him.

"I see. I'll put the pill in the merit exchange list. ”

So not long after, there was an extra name on the independent regiment's battle merit exchange list, "Enlightenment Pill".

There are only a few numbers in the item description column below.

"Promotes awakening, recovery of injuries and energy."

However, this short introduction, which occupies less than one line, has made the blood boil of countless players who have joined, even if it has harsh conditions and requires astronomical combat exploits, it has also made countless people rush to it.
