On the first day, there was a great chaos in the imperial capital Midsummer Festival, and under the coordination of the railway gendarmerie, the head of the imperial capital and the government, the three-day Midsummer Festival finally came to a relatively successful conclusion. At this time, Class VIII, after the royal family's hospitality, had just returned to the hotel where he had settled.

"Really, you are still the same, the hospitality of the royal family is rare, and you refused so easily." In the hotel, Sarah unceremoniously scolds Ike who is lying on the bed.

"In that case, isn't it just right for you to lead the team." Ike spreads his hands, "I can use an excuse to sleep in." Otherwise, should I say that it is really good to be commended by His Royal Highness the Emperor? ”

"Can't you two stop sarcastically mocking the royal family in front of the royal family?" Olivett on the side replied helplessly, "But Ike did help a lot this time, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to my sister." How's your injury? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that there was a bit more blood loss and the wound had stopped at that point. Your sister and Elyse's healing skills are indeed good, much better than yours as an older brother. ”

"Oops~It would be nice to be able to help~"

Outside the gate, the Queen of Alfin pulled Elysée and the students of Class VIII behind her.

"It would be better if the personality wasn't as out-of-the-box as Olivet." Ike added.

"Hmm—please call this cheerful." Alfin replied with some dissatisfaction, "However, Mr. Ike risked his life to save us and gave me an unforgettable escape, for which I can express my gratitude." Elphine said, lifting the hem of her skirt and bowing deeply.

"Oh~ I heard that Ike hugged my sister all the way out, this is really a real princess hug." Olivet said in fear that the world would not be chaotic, "Every time I mention this, my sister's face is always funny." ”

"Stupid, stupid brother! What are you talking about?! The princess of Elphine, who had always jumped out, blushed rarely, and took out a huge folding fan that she didn't know where to put it and slapped Olivet's head continuously.

"Isn't it great? Get the princess's favor. Arisa, who was beside Ike, replied with a smile on her face, "Being able to carry the princess all the way must not be a serious injury?" Now I guess it's okay to get up and run back to the academy? ”

"Can you please stop making trouble." Ike sighed helplessly. "You're not here to make a fuss here, are you?"

"Well, thank you for your help, Instructor Ike!" Unlike the cheerful Elfin, Elyse walked up to Ike very solemnly and bowed deeply.

"It's nothing, it's within my purview, don't mind too much." Ike waved his hand "As they say, all they need is a stage to appear, and for planners, harming important actors can be the least allowed." What I'm worried about now is the so-called show, and after the first show, there will definitely be a second show. ”

"You mean the trade council." Olivet's eyes flashed.

"Compatriots who have come together to resist the dictator want to know who they are against. It's just that, as an entourage, I wouldn't be surprised if you were affected. With your character, if it weren't for Mula, you would probably have been arrested for the first time. ”

"Trust me, my dear friend." Olivett's face was black.

"So in order not to make a fool of the royal family, I still wish you not to be caught by the enemy." Ike shrugged.

"Instructor Ike, do you know who that 'Imperial Liberation Front' is?" Rien interjected, "You can see where they came from during the battle. ”

"It's a pity that although we can see how they fight, the key information such as identity cannot be analyzed through a simple battle method, and the information that is not obtained can be told to you." Ike replied, "First of all, the one-eyed woman, she must have been affiliated with a hidden part of the Church of the Seven Dawns, this department is called the Knights of the Star Cup, a 'special force' set up specifically to defend the church. The knights inside are divided into regular knights, retinue knights and other personnel, judging from the woman's combat skills, it should belong to the level of retinue knights. And that big man is the standard hunter fighting style. To achieve his own goals by the best means, and judging from what he says and what he says, it should be the same. It's just that I don't know which hunting regiment it is. Check out if the Iron Will guy has destroyed those chasers, and maybe you'll get a good answer. ”

"And then—what about the masked leader?"

"Hmm- to be honest, that guy is a big problem, although I can't feel his magic and vindictiveness, but in terms of action, his skills are quite good. Even if you can't beat Sarah, it shouldn't be difficult to equalize, provided Sarah doesn't kill her. Ike replied.

"That guy is that good?" Sarah raised her eyebrows and asked with some displeasure.

"If you have been a guerrilla until now, the key is how long you have not been a guerrilla now, and I am afraid that the actual combat will fall." Ike rolled his eyes, and before Sarah could defend himself, Ike continued to answer, "But none of that matters. No matter how strong a person is, as long as he does not reach a certain limit, his influence is limited after all, and he cannot be an enemy of the state-backed railway gendarmerie and government forces. And what I'm worried about is the forces behind them. ”

"If you say who hates the prime minister the most, the answer seems to be coming out." Olivet's eyes flashed with a strange light: "How likely do you think it is that the nobles and the Imperial Liberation Front will join forces?" ”

"This is your business." Ike said, "I'm more curious about whether they will have a third party other than the nobles to join. ”

"A third party?" Sarah frowned, "Could it be the Chasseur?" ”

"No, the Chasseurs don't have the technology." Ike held out his finger, "I said, his equipment can isolate magic detection, although this technique seems simple, but the actual use is definitely not simple. This is true both in terms of magical isolation and in terms of instrument shrinkage. ”

“。。。 Gospel?! Olivet's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

"Maybe it's more advanced than the gospel." Ike replied, "Detection is isolated without forbidden magic, and if the size can be embedded in the equipment, it will undoubtedly be smaller than the gospel, and if the device is stable, I'm afraid the technology is not much worse than the gospel." There are only a handful of places where this kind of equipment can be made, such as Chase Atelier in Liber, the Epstein Foundation, Ryan Forte in Luray... and the Thirteen Workshops of the Serpent. ”

"Thirteen workshops? Snake? Noticing the pause, Rien asked.

"It is an association called the Devouring Serpent, which is more mysterious and powerful than the Chasseur Corps, and in addition to having a powerful enhanced Chaser and acting as an executor as a leader, it is said that they also have a special workshop for technological development, that is, the Thirteen Workshops." Olivett glanced at Ike and replied with a gloomy expression, "You mean they want to meddle in a possible civil war?" ”

"All plans in which the apostles are involved have something to do with the Arcanta." Ike replied, "And they want to intervene in the civil war, I'm afraid they just want to muddy the waters more so that they can better pave the way for their plan." Especially this time the apostle is still quite a tricky witch. ”

"Witch?!" In the crowd, Emma exclaimed.

"You know where the apostle is, right?" Olivet didn't pay attention to Emma's exclamation, and hurriedly asked.

"Believe me, it is not good for you to tell you, and it is the most foolish thing to make the other party suspicious without actually being able to catch that apostle." Ike replied, "And, now that you have a more important mission, right?" Cross Bell's side is not calm either, this turbulent era has begun, and there is no turning back. ”

“。。。。。。”

"What's wrong?" Ike watched all the people fall into silence and stared at him in confusion.

"No... Because just now, His Excellency the Prime Minister and Instructor Ike said the same thing to us. Lane replied.

"That person's words can be seen as a matter of course, after all, he is a staunch practitioner, and he is probably ready for this era now, right? How about Olivet, there's not much time left for you. ”

"Hehe, what a tough challenge." Olivett smiled silently, with a confident look on his face, "However, the so-called challenge, the more difficult it is, the more necessary it is. Bet on my Olivet name and I'll win this game! ”
