Chapter 37: Obsidian
It had been a week since everyone set out to participate in that battle of annihilation and returned victoriously.
During the week, the days in the regiment were as usual. Aside from the fact that the regimental commander announced that the boy had been approved by himself and the two captains in this operation, and was allowed to join the "Zephyr", it was no different from usual.
It's just that on the first day of return, after settling down the tired everyone, the head of the regiment returned to his room early, instead of talking and laughing with the members of the regiment who came to greet him as usual, as if he had something on his mind.
And, that doesn't seem like a big deal, actually, it's kind of like a ...... The reluctant expression of a child when he is about to meet the most hated neighbor's child.
Of course, everyone didn't know that it was not for nothing that Lujia was so abnormal. In fact, he himself had expected this situation for a long time.
There is a special being who has quietly infiltrated his usual studio, and no one in the hunting regiment notices. In fact, he didn't feel it himself, just a signal that was clearly deliberate on the part of someone recently, recounting this reality.
The moment he pushed the door open, he saw the familiar figure in his mind.
"I didn't expect to provoke you to come in person." Lu Jia said in a deep voice, unable to discern the meaning of sarcasm and vigilance in his voice.
"Where, this time, it's not as serious as it seems." The chestnut-haired woman in front of her motioned to Lu Jia to close the door with her eyes, but Lu Jia didn't use her hands at all, just rolled up with a bang, and slammed the door shut, "Don't be so vigilant when you see me." ”
"Really? I thought that what could alarm you to appear here in person must be some kind of terrifying existence......"
"After you retreated, our men have already checked the situation there." The woman didn't listen to his complaints and taunts at all, "Those demons seem to come from unheard of worlds, but it doesn't matter at all, there are no remaining threats there, and there are no dangerous ancient relics to be recovered...... Rather, you cleaned up all the mess that should have died a few years ago, and the church should actually reward you. The last sentence was also said by the woman in front of her in a mocking tone.
"In other words, just to this extent, you don't need to play this hole card yourself, right?" Lu Jia understood the situation, "Then you came to me, you must have a plot against that young man, right?" ”
"Don't say it so badly." Taking out a beautifully packaged lady's cigarette from her bosom and lighting it for herself, the woman spit out a smoke ring and said in a relaxed tone, "I did receive an order from above, saying that the prophecy of the canonization province points out the peculiarity of that boy......"
"He's a man of the West Wind now."
"I didn't deny it. Nor was it my intention to take him under the pretext peculiar to the Church. The woman in front of her looked a little strange, "Did you hide something from that boy, or conspire with something?" Why do you look so nervous? ”
"Yes, we have some plans to implement, but that relates to my fundamental ...... at the moment As long as it doesn't jeopardize your ethics, there's no reason for you to force it, right? ”
"Hehe, that's right." The woman took another drag on her cigarette, "Our duty is mainly to monitor the 'foreign law' that violates the law and evil, and to recover the dangerous 'ancient relics' scattered around the world......
"And spy on your old adversary, the snakes, every move, right?"
“…… Yes, and them. The woman paused, but her tone did not change, but she continued to say to herself: "Because of this, we are short of manpower, so naturally we can't pay attention to all the "abilities" and "special points", as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary......"
"Then why are you still here?" In that case, why did you, the highest-level combat power of the "Church", appear here in person?
"I was about to explain this, but you didn't listen to me at all...... "The dried cigarette automatically extinguished, and the remaining wreckage was directly turned into pieces and scattered in the woman's hands, "The prophecy given by the Holy Province is very special...... I came here to confirm some information. ”
"What's so special about it?"
"Sorry, this involves core secrets." The woman refused Lujia's questioning, "Anyway, my work is done, and this kid can stay here and carry out your "plan" for which I don't know what it is." ”
"Then why are you still waiting for me here?" Lujia touched the back of her head.
"Of course, I'm here to see an old friend." A shallow smile appeared on the woman's face, this was probably the first time she showed a somewhat soft expression in this conversation, "Although we have never worked together, whether it is you or the "God of Fighting", they are both famous existences." ”
“…… If you don't say I've forgotten, you've been a "hunter" before. Lu Jia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "It's just that I and the one in your mouth will have a fight sooner or later." ”
"I probably won't have the time to witness it. Good luck with you...... Good luck to you...... Wu Yun Changlong. ”
After saying this, the woman stepped on a loud step and was about to leave the door.
"Oh, by the way......" As she was about to leave the room, the woman turned her head again: "Your worries are unnecessary. That kid will solve all the problems on his own. ”
This time, she really left.
“…… Heh, I didn't expect to see this guy again under such circumstances......" Lu Jia shook his head, smiled bitterly to himself, and slumped on the sofa, "Now you are the chief knight of the 'Star Cup Knights' who belong to the 'Seven Yao Church'...... Ain ...... "Obsidian" ......"
Gently rubbing his stinging temples, his heart remembered the words that Ain had left for him before leaving.
"Fix it yourself, huh?" It's a little incredible, but I'm really relieved because of this.

"Yes...... All together as you would expect, Archbishop. "Holding a strange communication device, in the secret room of the battleship to which she belongs, Ain Cernat is reporting the investigation to the highest-ranking archbishop in the canonized province, and only such a high-ranking existence can personally order her, who is already the chief of the "Star Cup".
"That kind of "divinity"...... Are you sure? ”
"Yes." Ain replied in a low voice, "And the form, as you pointed out, is cloudy, powerful, and yet strongly associated with some unknown being. What do we do next? Archbishop? ”
The prophecy doesn't mention the aftermath. Now, Ain, you draw at least one Star Cup Knight and keep a close eye on the boy's movements. I will always report to you on the situation, specific requirements, and when you return to the Codex Country, I will tell you personally. ”
"Yes." Ain smiled slightly, "I think, Kevin, kid, will definitely be very suitable for this task." ”
"But wasn't Kevin sent by you to spy on the third pillar of the Serpent?"
"Goo......" Ain choked, "Looks like it's time to adjust your plan of action." ”
————————————
P.S: Ain was a hunter, which I remember mentioning in a certain part of the empty rails, but it is only a passing mention, I have expanded the scene here, so that the chief also has a chance to show his face, and by the way, it will pave the way for Kevin's appearance later.
