Goth was depressed.

Lin Na was not on the list of Imperial envoys. He didn't know that Lin Na would secretly follow, just to see him. In the same way, he didn't care about the theater schedule tonight, not knowing that Fran wanted to surprise him.

If he knew, he wouldn't have sent the maiden over to add fuel to the fire......

……

But Goth was more angry than wronged.

John Gort, the mage who always disguised his true thoughts with a gentle smile, was really anxious this time.

After all—

Unbeknownst to the girl and Linna, if two strangers were fighting at the gate of Goth's mage tower, the mage tower's automatic defense system would have been activated long ago, and the swarm of mechanical golems in the basement would immediately pour out of the nest to subdue the two.

The reason why there was no reaction from inside the Mage Tower to the battle between Linna and the Maiden was because Goth ...... He had long set the authority of the girl and Lin Na in the mage tower to be the highest outside of himself.

Therefore, even if the two of them dismantle the Mage Tower, the Mage Tower will only notify the owner of Goth, and will not automatically meet the attack......

The battle between the two "Blue Sky Level" Secret Ritual Warriors was extremely dangerous. Even if the two of them consciously keep their hands, if they are not careful, one of them will still die. In the Empire, even if the priest in charge of healing followed him the whole time, it still could not completely prevent the death of the secret warriors in the battle with each other. The danger of the battle between the Secret Rite Warriors can be seen.

If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt, and in the era of the clouds, where the "resurrection technique" has long been ineffective, how can people be resurrected after death? In case there are three long and two short......

"Goth, I ......," Linna wanted to speak.

"You have betrayed my trust," said Goth, "did I invite you to fight here by allowing you to enter my mage's tower?" In this floating city, I am the host, and you are the guests. If you have a ......"

Facing Goth, who entered the hair dryer mode, the girl was a little ashamed and couldn't answer for a while. And Lin Na didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then sneered at him.

"John Goth," she said aloud, "indeed, you are your master, and you are qualified to criticize me for being rude. But I also want to ask you: When you broke your promise with the Empire today, did you do your hospitable? ”

Gothic was stunned. What else could he say? Say that you really have an urgent matter that you can't shirk today? Said he really didn't know that Lin Na was there?

"You send this Miss Victoria to share my wrath with you, and to be your scapegoat," said Linna, assuming that Goth knew she would come, "Goth, have you ever considered the feelings of others when you are doing these things?" How do I feel? ”

The Imperial Princess looked into Goth's eyes. Goth's golden eyes seemed to be filled with flames.

"Lina ......"

Goth looked at Linna and sighed in his heart. When he met Lin Na, Lin Na didn't know her identity as a princess of the empire, and she wasn't even a secret warrior; Goth, on the other hand, lost his spell casting ability in an accident and lived in seclusion in the town. The two met by chance, and the young man and woman traveled together, how comfortable and leisurely, but it was a pity......

With Lin Na becoming a secret warrior and Goth regaining her ability to cast spells, the two of them are in high positions in the Empire and the Dharma, respectively, but they can't get along as naturally as they did at the beginning.

"I see, it's mine," Goth whispered, and he just took the pot on his back, "but Linna, you were the one who started the war, right?" Remember to apologize to Victoria. ”

Instead, Lin Na was taken aback. She didn't expect Goethe to "admit" it so refreshingly.

"Oh......"

Lin Na also knew that it was her own side that was reckless, and she didn't dare to shout again.

The young mage hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

"You can't be allowed to dance on the tip of a knife anymore." He muttered quietly. There are still many strong people in the world who can easily kill her. The male and female secret soldiers who died on the battlefield at a young age, Got has heard a lot. Lin Na must not be allowed to repeat their mistakes.

"What?" Lin Na didn't hear clearly.

And Goth had already made up his mind. Victoria has just become a secret warrior and doesn't know how important it is, Lin Na was once the adopted daughter of the duke, and now she is recognized by her biological father as a princess of the empire, how can she be so reckless? Let's take this opportunity to teach her a lesson in Linna's favorite way.

The young mage pulled out a golden healing potion from his pocket and threw it at Linna.

"Take it, drink it," said Goth indifferently, "and get up and fight me." Don't you Secret Warriors love to fight the most? Isn't fighting as a means of communication? All right...... Let's have a game. Trust, you won't disappoint me. ”

[He's crazy! Xiaowei shouted.

Linna, on the other hand, was calm, as if she had known that Goth would make this suggestion. She drank the potion down and tossed the bottle aside.

"Hi. Give this guy a bottle too," Suddenly, Lin Na pointed to the girl, "I was really sorry just now." ”

"Thank you." The girl smiled bitterly and took the potion that Goth had thrown over.

"No thanks," said Linna, "make no mistake, I just don't think it's good to leave you bruised all over your body." ”

The girl drank the healing potion from the bottle. She felt a warm current coming from her abdomen, and the injuries on her body quickly recovered. She glanced at Linna.

What are you going to do? Xiao Wei instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The girl hesitated.

[I have something...... Curious. 】

The girl stepped forward and stood side by side with Linna.

"Bold enough," Linna said, raising her eyebrows in surprise, "but what are you doing here?" ”

"I'd love to say that the private affairs of the two of you have nothing to do with me, and whoever likes to fight in this kind of stupid battle ......" the girl replied honestly, "I also want to find Goth to confirm in the battle." ”

"What?"

"I've always been curious about Goth's true strength," said the girl, "it's better to see than to hear, and it's better to fight, even if she has a clear understanding of Goth's fighting style, and wants to fight him once to test the depths," this is just the opportunity. ”

[Sure enough, you're crazy too...... Xiaowei muttered to herself.

"Do you want to fight me against one?" Lin Na glanced at the girl, "I'll go first." Then it's your turn. ”

"Don't be so confident," the girl began her half-truth, "this guy is super scary. If I'm alone, I might be killed in seconds. ”

"Victoria ......"

"Look, didn't you say you're better than me? If you drain his stamina first, then I won't be able to win the next day. If I go first, you'll lose face even more if you win. So we're just going to have to go together. ”

"It makes sense......

What exactly do you want to do? Xiaowei asked eagerly. She'd seen the incredible power of Goth.

[He's angry now.] I want to get a taste of his true strength, only now. I want to close the gap with him...... But if you can't even feel the gap itself, let alone close it. 】

Let me feel for myself how strong the hero of the work, the representative of the young generation in this world, the world's first genius. If he is the embodiment of his own ideals, then at least know how far he is between himself and him.

"Okay." Lin Na finally nodded.

The injuries of the two have largely healed. Holding the "Bright World" and the "Sword of Dawn" in their hands, the two of them took a battle posture towards Goth.

"Prepare, Goth." Lin Na said.

"Victoria...... All right. "The song is the beginning.

Goth held out his hand. In the void, the light loomed, and the girl only felt a flower in front of her, and Goth already had a strangely shaped staff in her hand. The body of the staff is gray, and there is a flame-like crystal at each end, one black and one white, and the whole looks like a "double-edged gun" and not a cane.

"Manfred's Staff!" The girl's heart moved. She is naturally very familiar with the weapons of the protagonists in her works. If it weren't for her own creativity, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to recognize it as a "magic staff" in the first place.

When helping the Maiden hunt down the remnants of the Federation, Goth also cast spells, but did not use the "Staff of Manfred". The staff will only be summoned when Goth is fighting with all his might. This staff from the hand of the Lord of Darkness is extremely precious in the world, even comparable to an artifact......

"Huh?" Lin Na was about to rush over, but suddenly stopped in shock...... I saw that Goth was holding the staff of Manfred, but he did not have the slightest intention of chanting spells and casting spells, but put on a posture of defending the enemy with martial arts.

"Goth, are you going to ......?" the girl was stunned.

"If I use spells to fight you, you will have no chance of winning," Gothran said, "and I will only fight you with spells that strengthen my physical fitness, and with the means of warriors...... So it will be fair to you. ”

[This guy ......]

He wants to provoke us on purpose. Both the girl and Xiaowei are very sober.

And Lin Na was really angry this time. Use one of the most powerful staffs in the world, the Manfred Staff, as a normal double-edged gun? Are you kidding!

"Goth!" She yelled, "Give me all my strength!" You are a mage, fighting me in the way of a warrior, it is an insult to me! ”

"I don't think so. I was trained as a warrior. ”

"Just cast spells! The warriors of the empire are not as easy to deal with as you think! "In Linna's opinion, the close combat between the mage and the secret warrior is simply a mockery.

Hearing Linna's shout, Goth frowned. But he quickly showed a relieved expression.

"Well, that's what you asked for." He whispered, letting go of his right hand gripping the staff.

The Staff of Manfred floats in the air and then vanishes into thin air.

"Then I won't use a staff." Goth smiled.

"Goth—you bastard!"

Faced with one provocation after another, Lin Na couldn't hold back any longer. She roared, and huge flame wings appeared behind her—twice the size of the girl's previous flame wings—and the whole person flew towards Goth like a storm of flames!

"Sure enough, when Lin Na and I fought just now, they didn't have a full strength." The girl was terrified. She already had a faint sense of Goth's true intentions.

[This man, he is ......] Even Xiaowei in the world of consciousness has also noticed.

[He's spurring us to go all out.] The girl sighed, [Indeed, for a battle maniac like Lin Na, there is nothing better than a hearty battle to resolve the estrangement between the two sides. What about you? What are you going to do? 】

[Me? Xiaowei was puzzled.

[Yes,] The girl paused slightly, [Challenging the battle of the world's first genius, don't you want to participate in it? 】
