Chapter 182: One Step First (Two in One)

Since Arios and Heliga, who were previously regarded by everyone as the backing of complete security, they were unable to fight at this moment because of Arian Heard's warning, so Lloyd and the others lost their previous rashness and hurry, even Guy. They changed their previous style and moved steadily and conservatively, which also made Arios look at it and secretly appreciate it in his heart - before meeting the girls before the "Fullmetal Maiden", it was the first task to try to keep their combat integrity intact.

In this way, at the end of the third floor of the "Tower of Stars", a tall girl, Anais, who was armed with an axe and gun, had been waiting there for a long time.

"I've been waiting for a long time. A member of the Iron Fleet, Fortitude Anais...... On the orders of our lord Arian Hurd, I am here to be the striker who stops you...... Please advise. ”

"Member of the Secret Services Section, Lloyd Bannings...... and facilitators. Lloyd took a deep breath - from the look of the girl in front of him, he did read some calmness and awe-inspiring that only the strong would have, "It seems that there should be no room for negotiation between us." ”

"Of course. When you met in the wetlands before, you didn't seem to be mature...... But now you look like you're qualified to be our opponents. The Aynas axe gun fell to the ground, and with a puff of dust, two "Iron Horses" also appeared out of thin air - not the same as the two that Arios helped to defeat just now, but they looked like enhanced versions, "Whether you have the ability and qualifications to arrive at the place where Lord Arian Heard is, let us test it." ”

"I can't ask for it!" Lloyd and the others chanted - between the words, Randy had already taken a step forward with an axe and gun in hand, his eyes fixed on Anaith's legs, as if he intended to see the center of gravity and footsteps of the female warrior in order to gain the initiative in the battle.

"Until then...... I have to confirm according to the rules. "Sword Master of the Wind", do you know the rules here? ”

"I already know that your master has told me about it." "I'm sure they'll be able to defeat you, and the rest of the Iron Machine, and finally appear in front of your master. ”

"As for the one over there...... The master has something to say to you. Since you can't make a move in the first place, why don't you go to the second floor at the top of this tower and wait...... In any case, you are also her, and you are the honored guest of the Being. Anas didn't look at Heliga as calmly as he did when he looked at Ariosβ€”it was clearly fear, fear of the great power that Heliga had shown at that time.

"In that case, I'll stay here and help them." Fei said softly, "Although I probably guessed her intentions...... But if I'm alone, it won't change the balance too much, so it's not a serious violation, right? ”

Anas didn't speak, not even Arian Hurd, who had been observing the place all this timeβ€”no doubt that it was tacit.

"In that case, I'll save my foot and wait for you to come up at the top of the tower." "Just to help you get a sniff out and ask the Fullmetal Maiden what he's up to." It's just ......" Helliga looked around, but didn't find any shortcuts, "Looks like you're planning to let me go up?" ”

"The teleportation circle of the "Society" is only used by the executors who perform the tasks assigned by the "Apostles" and the members of the Iron Fleet, and is not open to the public...... So probably. Unless you have a way to get it all in one step......"

"Forget it...... The magic in this place is not very stable, and I am afraid that something will go wrong with the teleportation circle. Heliga shook his head, "That's it...... Then I'll go up on my own. It won't take too long anyway. ”

"That'...... See you on the top floor. Lloyd and the others wanted to keep him, but after thinking about it, Heliga was indeed on his way, telling them all he knew about the members of the Iron Fleet, and they now knew the characteristics of the enemy; In addition, although Arios was restricted from fighting, at least he was able to help when he and others were in danger, which meant that they still had some confidence in their hearts; The most important thing is what Helliga and Arios say about the girl in front of them - although powerful, it is not difficult for everyone to fight and win.

Therefore, Helliga only nodded slightly, and then turned to leaveβ€”and when he left the corner of the staircase leading to the fourth floor, the figure of the young man suddenly disappeared from thin air.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Heliga had just planned to hide his traces and quietly go up to the top floor - but what he didn't expect was that when he saw Du Barry guarding the entrance to the seventh to eighth floors, he couldn't help but stop - for no other reason than to simply tease this person.

"Morning." Helica's sudden greeting naturally startled Dubarrie - and when she saw that this person was actually Helriga, she was even more nervous and surprised, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"You, you, you, why are you here?" Du Barry was so shocked that she began to stutter, and her body began to instinctively shrink back, "Aren't you supposed to be in Erebonia...... Wait, the host seems to have mentioned that you're in Crossbell again...... But this ......"

"Don't panic, I won't fight you." Heliga pursed his lips, "That would be a violation of the so-called rules...... Didn't your master make it clear to you? It's not just me, but the "Wind Sword Saint" who you definitely won't be able to beat in a while won't make a move, so you can rest assured. ”

"I see...... Yes, yes...... The host did say ...... Wait a minute! Du Barry suddenly found that her battle was being looked down upon, "What do you mean by that tone?" ”

Isn't that an objective fact? Do you think you can beat the Wind Juggernaut? It's not as good as Levy, but it's also an opponent who is a notch higher than you. Hyliga pouted, "Or do you think that if you win Levy once, you can beat a master of the same level?" ”

"Hmm...... That's ...... to say" Du Barry wilted again - she finally figured out that she was not as good as the person in front of her in terms of cunning or actual combat ability, and fighting with him was tantamount to finding guilt, but this person just always liked to find her trouble, which made her very distressed, but there was no way, "So...... Are you planning to go up to the top of the tower to meet your master? The host does seem to have mentioned ......"

"yes...... When I passed by Ennaia, she didn't even notice it. I just saw you, so on a whim, I came over to say hello to you...... I didn't expect that. Alas. Heiliga sighed, "What do you say you're not good at...... You have to drive in reverse. The center of gravity of the association's plan is to go from Crossbell to the Empire, and your movement is from the Empire to Crossbell, you say ......"

Du Barry has a grievance in her heart - the master's order, do you think I can not come? But Hailiga's set of principles did make Du Barry think a little like that, so it actually had a good effect, making Du Barry simply shut her mouth and say nothing at all.

Andβ€”Du Barry still thought to himself from time to time, maybe he really had some truth in what he said? Perhaps their own master, in this matter......

Wrong! I almost got into it. Du Barry thought a little depressed that she would not have any objection to her master's decision.

Just as she turned around in some shame, trying to explain this to Heliga, she was surprised to find that the boy had disappeared from sightβ€”just the few seconds when she had turned away because of embarrassment. Turning around again, his figure had reached the vicinity of the cloister staircase leading to the top floor.

"I'm just here to say hello...... Just do your job. "By the way, after this matter is settled, are you still planning to go to the Empire to help the other side's plan?" ”

"This ...... It depends on the owner's intentions. Du Barry wasn't quite sure about that either, "I don't know ...... either."

"You'd better not come back...... At that time, there will be some terrible events happening, and if you come back, you may not be able to get out of it. Heliga gave advice - he had a good opinion of the three men of the Iron Machine, and Levi had some face with him and some friendship with them, so he said, "If you can, it's better to avoid there." ”

Before Du Barry could reply, Haliga's figure disappeared around the corner of the cloister.

The closer he got to the top, the more he could feel the unusual flow of magic - he turned on the skill of perception, and came to the initial conclusion that the bell seemed to be in a steady tremor all the time, collecting the spiritual energy emanating from the surrounding area in a special way of resonance, and then using its properties to resonate with the surrounding magic, and finally with the help of the power of the leylines and Kia, this power was gently smeared on a floating "wall", This wall must be the huge barrier that stopped Lloyd and the others from moving forward, and shrouded the sky above the city of Crossbell. It's just that Heliga obviously feels that this power seems to have some meaning of the end of the crossbow, and it seems that Kia's own strength is indeed limited, and she still needs the power of these two big bells to keep resonance with such an enchantment.

However, now that the monastery is broken, only the bell at the top of the tower is still struggling to support it - if this place is finally breached by them, it is likely that this protective shield will be completely destroyed and no longer exists. At that time, the assault team led by Guy will be able to fight directly into the city, and the Wehrmacht of Crossbell, which has long been out of magic and whose morale has been exhausted by the wave of counter-attacks of the rebels in the past two days, will start a fierce frontal battle.

With this in mind, Heliga gently pushed open the door that allowed him to see the light of day againβ€”despite the magic around him, Heliga was able to feel the good weather through it. The bell continued to pulsate like a healthy heart, and Heliga's eyes were naturally on the woman on the other side of the bell, the Apostle of the Society known as the Saint of Steel.

"You're here." After reaching the roof, Heliga did not hide her aura, so she was easily noticed by the "Saint of Steel". Heiliga didn't answer such a talk, but walked over while looking at the amazing scene around him.

"If I want to say, the view from this place is really good...... Although this big bell is very polluted. Heliga sighed, "Seriously, it's almost time to tell me...... Why do you say that once I make a move, I will run into a very troublesome problem? ”

"I think you should have the answer in your heart...... I will stay here, of course, simply because that is the wish of the Holy Son. Arian Hurd sighed softly, "This is the end of the relationship between the Association and Crossbell...... Although the Doctor was still somewhat interested in the functions of the "Zero Treasure", he had to give up this idea at the behest of the Alliance Leader. All that remains is a problem for them and the Cullois family...... It makes sense that neither you nor I should interfere. ”

"When what happened in Crossbell indirectly affected the Empire, it wasn't just about them and the Kulois family." Hailiga expressed disdain for this, "This kind of rhetoric will not be accepted even by the most benevolent officials in the Politburo of the imperial capital." However, there really is no reason for the association to stay here...... It looks like Kia is asking you to stay here. ”

"Not bad. My purpose was to leave...... However, the Son himself made a request to me. She nodded, looking at Helliga with a complicated expression, "Needless to say, the 'war ghost' and the divine machine, even behind that Miss Mariabell, I don't know how many backhands are hidden. Therefore, if they want to move on, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be safe...... If it was protected by the Wind Swordmaster, it would be fine, but if it wasn't......" she didn't continue.

"Qi Ya can't bear to see them hurt, so she wants to get rid of you who completely crush them with your strength, and dispel their idea of continuing to fight?" Heliga helped Arian Hurd finish his sentence.

"Hmm."

"I think this kind of rhetoric will be counterproductive...... They will only strengthen their resolve to take her back. Heiliga pursed her lips, "Well, feelings and willpower can't be eaten...... The gap between their strength and yours is here. No matter how strong and firm the will is, in the face of absolute strength, it is an egg hitting a stone...... I really don't see any chance they have against you. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Nothing...... This seems to involve a bit of a play on words. Helliga shook her head, "And once you have the help of me, or the Wind Swordmaster, Kia will activate her causal abilities to sever this relationship for good...... I kind of understand the so-called threat. But, you know, that way, I'm sure it's going to be some kind of rare opportunity. ”
