In addition to the central area suitable for human habitation, the surrounding ecology of the Crossbell area can be described as strange. Steep mountains, dense jungles, humid swamps, dry deserts – in the tiny area of Crossbell, it is a microcosm of a huge overall ecology, just as the city of Crossbell is like a concise version of human society – both good and bad.

However, in the deep mountains far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the scene in front of me is a little out of place with Crossberg.

Even though he was wrapped in metal armor all over his body, the awe-inspiring aura still came to his face. Even if it's just the back, you can see what kind of elegance the female knight standing alone on the top of the mountain at this time will be.

"...... Steel-sama." Levi bowed his head respectfully, even though the other had not yet looked back.

"This is ......" Garcia was stunned, even though he had many battlefield experiences and had seen many outstanding female warriors, he expressed some surprise at the scene in front of him.

......" Heiliga did not speak, but waited quietly for the latter to speak.

"You're here...... Levy. And with two guests? The knight spoke, her voice pleasant and ethereal, "Du Barry didn't trouble you. ”

"Nope." Lévy replied scrutinically.

"Hehe......" the female knight turned around—the most primitive and beautiful face, and the silky blonde hair naturally slid down the sides of her cheeks, "You can't lose your manners." Tell us about yourself...... I am Arian Hurd, the "Seventh Pillar" of the Apostle of the Society. ”

"I'm Garcia Rossi." In a little trance, Garcia also reported his name.

"Hyliga Crywelswill." Heliga looked at the female knight in front of her with interest, "Are you the respectable teacher that Levy has always been obsessed with?" ”

"Is that how you introduced yourself to your companion?" The Seventh Pillar said to Lévy with interest, but his tone was still very flat, somewhere between the normal tone and the banter, "In a broad sense, everything that has been learned from it can be called a teacher." Most of Levy's swordsmanship was learned by himself, and I just gave him a little bit. ”

"Don't dare to be." Lévy said respectfully.

"I see...... He was able to stay here safely and not be swept into the new world because of your protection. Heiliga knew in his heart that the "Seventh Pillar" in front of him was a person with a noble personality, so he naturally would not let others "devouring the snake" still stalk Levi.

"And you're the one who saved him from his demons, right?" Arian Hurd was noncommittal to Helica's words, "I have always felt that a swordsman of such a high caliber should not be immersed in the life of the past. It's not that there's anything wrong with the "path of Shura...... It is better to say that there is no good or evil in martial arts, as long as it is to move forward towards the ultimate goal of martial arts. However, he has always been in a half-state...... I'm glad you were able to wake him up and make him work the so-called "right path". ”

At the "Seventh Pillar" saying this, Levi lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Alright...... Levy, I'm not here to embarrass you. Arian Hurd clapped his hands gently, "Come with me...... First of all, since you're here, I'm sure you're ready for the next special training. I won't show mercy when the time comes. ”

"I see." Levi agreed, his eyes full of determination.

"The two over there...... Garcia and Hailiga...... ? Please allow me to take him away for a while...... I'd like to ask you both of you before I go. Especially Heliga over there. ”

"Really?" Heliga didn't care, "Okay. Just toss poor Lévy well. ”

"Enaia, Aines, you two and Du Barry will take my place, and let me accompany the two guests."

As Arian Hurd's voice fell, she and Levi faded into the depths of the forest; Instead, in addition to Du Barry, who had been standing respectfully on the side since just now, there were also two girls who came from the shadows and dressed similarly to Du Barry. But the weapons they use vary; The light-brown-haired Dubari wields a one-handed sword and a metal shield. The red-haired girl, who was the tallest and looked serious and calm, carried an axe and gun almost as tall as a man; The navy-blue-haired girl at the back was the plumpest, carrying a large guide bow and several strange-looking arrows behind her.

"Fortitude" Anas ...... A member of the "Iron Fleet" under the command of the "Seventh Pillar" of the Society, Arian Heard. The red-haired girl's voice, like her appearance, was calm and unsmiling, and she introduced herself in such a stereotypical way.

"Enaia who also belongs to the "Iron Fleet" and the "Magic Bow". Compared with the rigid and serious Ainais, Enaia's attitude is much more casual, "We have heard the names of the two just now, so we don't need to introduce ourselves again." Here's the "Speed" Dubari...... He is also the chief of our "Iron Fleet". But I think you've already heard from Lévy......"

"yes...... I was talking to Levi when she burst in. Heliga nodded, "I didn't even knock on the door." "Don't forget to add a sentence.

"I've always gotten along with that guy like that - as long as he doesn't say he won't let him in, he can get in!" Du Barry quibbled, "It's not because I don't know how to be polite." ”

"I didn't say you don't know how to be polite. Why are you so sensitive? Is it really like the proverbial story of the empire, that what man excessively shows off and emphasizes means that he is excessively missing something? Heiliga said with a deliberate look of surprise.

"Woo-goo......" Poor Dubarie was choked there again, and her eyes rolled for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a suitable rebuttal.

"Alright...... Stop bullying Dubarry. Enaia is obviously also holding back a smile, it seems that she usually teases the so-called "chief" - this even makes Heliga feel that this "chief" position is not specially given up by Enaia for this contrast, in fact, she is the strongest of the three girls?

"yes......" said Anaith, who hadn't laughed much since then, "Speaking of which...... I don't know you, but our master has often mentioned your name since some time ago...... We know you and Levi have a good relationship, but it seems ...... You and your sister, this is the first time we've met? ”

"yes. As for the "Saint of Steel", I have always only heard of her name, but not her person. Heliga nodded, "But after meeting her just now, I have a question. ”
